Store Detailed Pet Information
123Pet lets you focus on taking care of your clients rather than keeping track of handwritten notes. You can create a unique profile for each pet that's available at the click of a mouse. Our software allows you to store detailed grooming, personality, kenneling, and medical information, all in one easy to use section.
Each tab includes a large comment area which gives you the ability to keep detailed notes for each visit. Feel free to include as much detail as you need for each pet – there's no limit! Your clients will love the personalized experience and you'll love that they keep coming back.
Store Unlimited Pet Photos
123Pet can store, display, and print an unlimited number of pictures of each pet which are conveniently linked to their profile. Use a web cam to take pictures directly through the software or add an existing photo already saved on the computer from a digital camera or scanner. Once the photo has been linked to the pet, it's saved inside your database so you no longer have to clutter your computer with unorganized photos!
Use the Picture Manager to save before and after photos of each pet you groom to show off the dramatic results. You can also save a primary pet picture to easily identify each pet when they walk through the door.
Client Tracking for Pet Grooming Management
In addition to tracking your four legged clients, we also understand the importance of keeping detailed information on their owners. There are no restrictions on how many clients you can have in your database, regardless of which edition you buy. Each client has a complete purchase history profile which contains information about previous product sales, as well as appointment history to help you suggest items to clients during their visits.
No-shows and cancellations are also tracked per client so you know who to follow up with by running a simple report. Special pop-up notes can be made for each client to give you an extra alert when making an appointment. While viewing a client's information you can also easily see his or her list of pets, assign special discounts, check loyalty points, pre-paid services, client balance and much more!
Client Notes from Previous Visits
Use the client notes feature to collect detailed information about each pet owner. You can quickly access these notes from the ticket screen to add or view information as needed. An option is available to add a date stamp so your notes can be easily organized. You also have the ability to print the client's notes for those times when you need to view the information away from the computer.
Veterinary Office Info and Tracking
In addition to storing comprehensive notes for each pet, you also have the ability to link a specific veterinarian to each pet. From the Vets screen, you can add a new veterinarian to the database and store his or her address, phone numbers, and business name. A comment section is available if you need to add specific details about each vet. The list of veterinarians you create can then be accessed from the Medical Information tab on the Edit Pet screen for each individual pet.
Pet Vaccination Alerts and History
123Pet offers a fully customizable vaccination system with automatic alerts. As part of each pet's medical history, you are able to link specific vaccinations to each animal and document when each vaccination expires. Each vaccination record can hold detailed notes and you can set if the shot is optional or required. If a vaccination is set to expire soon, the software will alert you that the pet is due for another shot when you create an appointment. This automatic tracking system makes it easy for you to remind your clients that their pet is due for another vaccination.
Kenneling Management and Scheduling
In addition to grooming appointments, 123Pet also offers multi-day services and resources. The appointment book will display a single appointment for each boarding that spans the entire duration of the pet's stay. Resources represent a specific kennel or boarding room in your business and they hold each of these boarding appointments.
Each resource can have its own maximum occupancy setting to track how many services can be held at once. If you attempt to book an appointment with a resource that is full, you will receive a warning to prevent overbooking. The appointment book has special filters to quickly switch between grooming and boarding so you can always find what you're looking for.
Colors and Themes to Match Your Style
Keeping up with the current trends is important. That is why 123Pet offers 20 beautiful and modern themes you can use to customize the appearance of the software. With 123Pet, you can personalize the software's look and feel to your heart's content.

At the touch of a button, 123Pet can print a complete product list and tell you which items need to be ordered. 123Pet also comes with a built-in reorder reminder feature so that you can set the level at which you will need to order your products, and you will be automatically notified when your need to order your products, and how many should be ordered. You can even create a purchase order directly from your low-inventory list, email the purchase order to your vendor, print a vendor check and record the payment in your General Ledger in just a few quick clicks.

Marketing Campaign Management System
Using the powerful Marketing feature in 123Pet, you will be able to construct lists of clients based on purchase history and client information.
Marketing Campaigns are perfect if you want to track and manage all of your marketing content.
Automatically Fill Openings with the Wait List
The wait list feature allows you to create a list of clients who have no previously scheduled appointments and are in the lobby waiting for an available employee, or would like to schedule an appointment for a future date that is currently booked. On a Wait List entry, you will be able to add multiple services and employees, and define when the client is available.
123Pet will automatically check for openings in your appointment book as existing appointments are cancelled or moved, and you will be notified when a match is found for a wait listed appointment request so that you can keep your appointment book full and your clients happy!
Mass E-mail Marketing
Mass E-mail Marketing Campaigns are perfect if you want to notify your clients of specials, follow up after specific services, or say "Happy Birthday!" with a special offer.
Mass E-mail Marketing Campaigns can have an e-mail template associated with them to easily send out your mass email and refer to your offer. Check out the effectiveness of your campaign through return-rate reports. Quickly view which clients received each campaign notification in the client history.
Automate your campaign and let the software send your emails monthly, weekly, or whenever! With recurring campaigns, you can set up newsletters and important e-mails to be sent as often as you need. Let those holiday promotions send themselves.
Automatically Remind Employees of Important Tasks
Create reminders that are associated with a client, a ticket, or just a general notification for employees. Use the Auto-Notify feature and 123Pet will automatically notify you until a reminder is marked as complete.
Each reminder can be marked as complete or incomplete, have a priority defined, and a start and due date. You will be able to set up a schedule so that notifications will be shown to you at the beginning of the day, periodically throughout the day, or not at all.
Create Your Own Reports
Most information that you will need can be found in the hundreds of built-in reports included in 123Pet. But, if you need a report that isn't already found, you can always create your own! Reports can be written in Structured Query Language (SQL), which is a commonly-used database language.
Store Important Client Documents
Each client can have his or her own documents linked so that you can keep important medical, legal, or informational notes needed for grooming or kenneling services on file. Any file that is saved on your computer can be linked to a client, so you can quickly access scanned documents and images, service agreements, or questionnaires in just about any file format.
Use 123Pet on Multiple Computers
123Pet has been designed to operate exceptionally in a local area network. Several computers on a network can be connected, and your employees can use 123Pet simultaneously for all of their scheduling, reporting, and management tasks.
All of the information in your 123Pet database (i.e. clients, appointments, products, services, etc.) will be available on each of the computers. Your Appointment Book will continuously refresh automatically to make sure to display all of the most up-to-date information, even when edited on another computer.
Use 123Pet from a Remote Location
With the multi-computer edition of 123Pet you have the luxury of running the complete software outside the office. All you need is a virtual private network (VPN) which can be set up easily with third party software. If you're not sure how a VPN works, don't worry, we have a thorough walkthrough to get you started.
Once you have a VPN set up, you can install 123Pet on your laptop and access your database anywhere in the world as long as you have an Internet connection. Going on vacation? Need to check on things from home? No problem! You can still access the full software just as though you were in the business.
Connect Point-of-Sale Hardware to Multiple Workstations
Set up multiple POS workstations in your business when you have 123Pet running on multiple computers so that you can make the most of your network. Workstations can each have their own POS hardware, or some hardware can be shared between computers for a streamlined system.
Connect Multiple Locations Together
The multi-location edition of 123Pet allows two or more locations of your business to share information with each other. An unlimited number of stores anywhere in the world can be set up to share information, making it perfect for any corporate or franchise business, as well as multiple locations owned by a single person. Setup is easy and requires little additional hardware or software to allow your multiple locations to connect.
With the multi-location edition of 123Pet, you can switch to another location's database to view clients, book appointments, update inventory, run reports, and so much more.
Unique Reports for Wide Area Networking

Reviews - Hotel Sami Beach Sami
A Wonderful ExperienceSubmitted by: Cindy in 06/08/08
- Age Group: 31 - 40
- From: United States
- Traveller type: Family Traveller
I stayed at the wonderful Sami Beach hotel with my 2 kids and husband, the comfort and service exceeded our expectations. As soon as we came in we were treated not as hotel guest,s but like we were family. We were immediatly greeted and unloaded of our baggage. The staff gave us an orientation of the island as well as drinks on the house. This is a family run hotel, that made us feel Very welcome throughout or stay. The kids had fun in the pool, we had fun just relaxing. There is a bar by the pool and toys for the kids. Our room was very clean and practical. This island is very beatiful, Myrtos beach was most spectacular Ive ever seen and the ride is very scenic. I would advise having a car to see all the sites of the island. We would definitely come back to this hotel for the wonderful service and comfort.

Speaking in London today, Paul Tucker – Deputy Governor, Financial Stability, Member of the Monetary Policy Committee and Member of the Financial Policy Committee – discusses current monetary policy in light of the need for the economy to rebalance. He says: "Given the ferocity of the shocks that have already hit the economy, and the pervasive uncertainty that persists about global economic and financial conditions, these are circumstances where taking longer than usual to re-achieve the 2% target is warranted, so that the economy's supply capacity is not impaired by more than can be avoided." But he cautions that "...an absolute precondition for maintaining that support to demand, and so limiting the damage to the economy's supply capacity, is the credibility of monetary policy."
Paul Tucker explains that, even absent the monetary stimulus, rebalancing in the economy was not going to be easy. "The composition of demand in the UK was imbalanced for so long that the productive capacity of economy is unbalanced." That process is hindered by tight credit conditions, which he says are impeding the reallocation of capital across the economy. And it makes labour market conditions harder to interpret. In particular, subdued productivity growth over the past few years is difficult to explain. There is anecdotal evidence of labour hoarding, but that does not square easily with either surveys of business conditions reporting firms as carrying relatively little spare capacity or the observed growth in private sector employment during the first part of 2011. This puzzle is something the MPC and Bank staff are working to explain.
In conclusion, Paul Tucker says that "...if our monetary accommodation can help to ease the costs to firms and households of adjusting by smoothing the path of aggregate demand, then a waste of capital resources and of human livelihoods can be limited." He adds that over the next few quarters it will become clearer whether the Committee's judgement call on inflation – that it will fall rapidly from its current elevated level – will be proved correct. But he is keen to emphasise that "...the gloom should not be overdone. The record is that flexible economies with sound macroeconomic regimes recover from almost any crisis. The UK will recover. Meanwhile the MPC will continue to underpin demand, consistent with getting back to the 2% inflation target and so with sound money."

Disability & Accessibility | News
Reference and information skills company Credo has partnered with ReadSpeaker to add text-to-speech features to its Literati suite of software and services.
The partnership announcement comes as part of an active week for the reference company, which also acquired onlinetutorsolutions.com to bolster its tutor service availability.
Text-to-speech technology is now available to libraries utilizing Literati Public, and will be available soon to institutions using Literati Academic, Student Athlete, and School, according to a company release.
The partnership is designed to enhance accessibility of Literati reference services to those with limited literacy skills, visual impairments, dyslexia or other language-based learning disabilities, and English language learners.
"We're focused on making authoritative information accessible to all users. Text to speech removes barriers," said Carol Helton, Credo's executive vice president of marketing and customer solutions, in a release. "We are very excited to leverage (ReadSpeaker's) experience, expertise, and technologies to make Literati an even stronger solution for libraries and the diverse user base that they serve."
ReadSpeaker technology speech-enables online content "on the fly," which means that ReadSpeaker collects the text that a user selects, produces the audio, and streams it without any downloading. Speech is available in more than 35 languages and more than 100 voices, according to the company Web site.
"Literati is unique in that it helps individuals hone information skills that transfer beyond the classroom to the workplace and everyday life," said Joop Heijenrath, ReadSpeaker cofounder, in a release. "We are proud to partner with Credo to enhance Literati and support such an important mission."

As a Netflix product manager I'm tasked with the wonderful job of helping members find movies they'll love. But today my job is more challenging as we've decided to terminate the profiles feature on September 1. Please know that the motivation is solely driven by keeping our service as simple and as easy to use as possible. Too many members found the feature difficult to understand and cumbersome, having to consistently log in and out of the website.
Continuing to maintain the profiles feature for the passionate few who use it (including myself) distracts us from the mission of presenting to all our members the easiest way to find the best titles for them from the 100k plus on DVD and the 10k plus available instantly.
We will do our best to find better ways for families to share accounts than the existing profiles feature and will continue to invest in improving the website experience in many different ways.

Any activity involving speed, heights, water or power equipment are inherently risky. Rocketman flying is no exception, but our extensive research on relative safety indicates that this activity is less dangerous than common outdoor activities such as driving, cycling, riding ATVs or personal watercrafts, waterskiing, parasailing, downhill skiing, or even playing basketball!
Safety is a top priority for Rocketman. Relative safety has been evaluated from three perspectives: passive safety, active accident avoidance, and minimizing risks & severity of injuries. We excel in all three areas.

Hi everyone,
We have been asked many times to make a chocolate that diabetics can have, and I understand beet sugar works well for that purpose. Has anyone here tried using beet sugar in their chocolate? Or have you tried coconut sugar as well?
Views: 140
Hi Sandy! We haven't tried fruit sugar, but we've tried the difference between Stevia, cane sugar, and raw sugar. Check out our post on Rootchocolate.com here: http://rootchocolate.com/2014/08/08/sugar-sugar/
Yes, coconut sugar, or granulated coconut nectar. Pure Cacao + Granulated Coco Nectar. Our (fair trade) producer has been making them since 2009. They are wonderful!
Fanny-Min BECKER
Remember, as far as the human body metabolism goes, sugar is sugar. if you're marketing directly for a diabetic market, please be sure you understand the impact of glycemic index and sugars (pretty much any of the pentoses and hexoses - such as sucrose) will impact insulin levels regardless of if it comes from cane, beet, coconuts, or maple trees. The body will see no difference between sugar in the raw, granulated white sugar, cane sugar, beet sugar, etc. High potency sweeteners such as stevia, are an entirely different class of compounds, and as such, the body metabolizes them differently. Lots of info here on these topics already, i'd encourage you to sift through the forums.
Here's a good place to start: http://chocolatetalk.proboards.com/thread/391
yeah we are producing chocolates sweetened with coconut sugar 60% & 70% Chocolate bars plain & spicy.

Alli Can't Do It All: Pills May Increase Unhealthy Behavior
On one hand, GlaxoSmithKline really, really wants you to take their new over-the-counter diet pill, alli. On the other hand, they don't want you to abandon healthy habits in favor of pill popping.
Unfortunately, according to a recent study, that's what happens: Consumers considering taking a drug for a condition are likely to give up on the healthy habits that are also necessary to change that condition. They tend to think that they needn't bother with a healthy lifestyle because the pill will do the job for them.
Even worse, the idea of drugs appears to weaken their conviction that they can actually manage a healthy lifestyle. (Oddly enough, health supplements don't cause the same erosion of healthy habits, apparently because people take them on faith and see them as natural, not as scientific panaceas.)
So while the company wants to convince you that their pill's a wonderful thing, they dare not market it as a cure-all for fear that consumers will just rest on the pill's laurels and head for McDonald's. They are addressing this by describing alli as a "pill with a plan," a whole program that "requires a commitment to living your life in a new way as you learn to change your eating and activity habits."
The study authors, from the Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Wharton School of Business, believe that other pharmaceutical companies may follow Glaxo's lead, playing up the role of lifestyle changes as a necessary companion of drug-taking instead of marketing their pills as the magic solution to every problem. We'll see.

One addendum Bill:
I love the Zwei. I'm so used to it I know when to swing to avoid getting hit and make sure I contact. That's why I took it to +15. BUT bearing in mind the scarcity of Titanite slabs, if you are building for strength it only scales on a C. There are other weapons that scale better and may be proportionately more suited to a build scaling off your strength. Man Serpent Greatsword is smaller but faster, has a respectable base damage (110 vs 130 for the Zwei) and has an overhead smash of sorts, scales on an A.
...who am I kidding? Do the Zwei anyway, it's the shizzle.
LB, you really are a massive geek.

Law Enforcement Will Unite as "One Team" Against Impaired Driving this Holiday Season
Boise Police are joining agencies throughout Idaho in working to keep the roads safer for holiday travelers. BPD is taking part in a statewide effort to increase DUI patrols beginning tomorrow, December 20th through January 3rd.
Officers are making a special effort to try and educate people against combining alcohol with prescription meds, a dangerous practice officer say they are seeing more of.
"Our message this holiday is to think before you drink and to plan ahead for safe transportation if you plan to drink alcohol, not only this holiday, but all the time," said Officer Dave Frederick of the Boise Police DUI Night STEP team.
"Sadly, during the holidays, crashes due to impaired drivers can be even more tragic. But families will live with the loss of a loved one every single day. We want to do all we can to make sure that doesn't happen."
Boise DUI Arrest Statistics:
2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Jan - Sep2013
2,102 1,660 1,530 1,379 1,168 681
DUI Arrests in Boise City have seen a decrease in recent years. Officers attribute the decline to consistent priority enforcement combined with public education prevention strategies.
'Education is making a difference. So are more taxis downtown and the private ride-sharing services. When we make a stop, we're finding people in the car have been drinking but using a designated driver. People seem to know the enforcement is out there and they're making plans for safe rides home. It's really good to see. Still, the decrease in arrests has not decreased our efforts." said Officer Frederick.
Free Breath Testing Friday Night, 6th & Main:
As part of the department's ongoing DUI prevention efforts, Boise Police officers will offer free breath testing Friday night from 10:00 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. at the corner of 6th & Main Streets downtown. To take part, look for the BPD Mobile Substation.
Boise City Taxi is offering a $5.00 coupon for people that participate in the event and realize they need a safe ride home!
Alcohol and Prescription Meds:
Boise Police DUI officers say although DUI arrests are decreasing, one area of increasing concern is impaired driving due to a mixture of alcohol and prescription medications like painkillers or anti-depressants.
"A driver may not be over the limit with alcohol but put meds on top of that and it can impair your ability to safely drive a car. The mixture definitely can lead to an arrest for DUI." said Officer Frederick.
Six Boise Police officers are trained DRE's or Drug Recognition Experts. DRE officers are experts in recognizing impairment with substances other than alcohol.
2012 DUI Crash Statistics:
One Team for Borderless Enforcement: in Memory of Victoria Shafner:
Boise Police are joining in the "One Team for Borderless Enforcement" of impaired driving laws this holiday.
A grant from the Idaho Department of Transportation's Office of Highway Safety allows for enhanced DUI patrols statewide between December 20 and January 3 reimbursing department's for overtime for officers involved in the extra patrols.
Law enforcement in southwest Idaho are dedicating the enhanced holiday patrols to the memory of Victoria Shafner of Nampa, who was killed at the age of 19 in a vehicle crash when her friend was driving impaired in March, 2007.
Victoria's mother Karen Shafner and representatives from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) will speak to officers on Friday evening, Dec. 20th at ISP's District 3 Office before the patrols begin at 8:00 p.m. Prevent and Protect Yourself Against Impaired Driving:

Quality Control
After 16 years, ASTM has published a 15th edition of the venerable Gardner-Sward Handbook, encompassing the latest information on significant paint and coating test methods and technology.
Heavily updated from its predecessor, the 1,000-page Paint and Coating Testing Manual: 15th Edition of the Gardner-Sward Handbook contains 79 chapters, written by experts, on new and updated technologies within the paint and coatings industry.
New, Updated Topics
The manual is a comprehensive guide to the paint and coatings topics, test methods, procedures and standards of ASTM and other national and international organizations.
New and updated topics include measurement of gonioapparent colorants, surfactants, powder coatings, osmotic activity in coatings, coalescing aids, and radiation-curable powder coatings.
"Having been in the coatings industry for over 30 years, I know how useful the Gardner-Sward Manual can be," says Dwight Weldon, president of Weldon Laboratories, in Imperial, PA.
"For years, I have relied on the 14th edition of this fine book to answer many of my paint-testing questions, but a lot has changed in the industry since it was published in 1995. I know a lot of hard work has gone into preparing the new and updated 15th edition, and I am really looking forward to it."
Testing Pioneer
The manual is named for renowned paint chemist and test pioneer Dr. Henry A. Gardner Sr., its longtime co-author (with editor G.G. Sward). Gardner was a longtime member of ASTM, founded in 1898, and a passionate believer in its work.
Project Gutenberg
Gardner served, at various times, as assistant director of the Institute of Industrial Research in Washington, DC; director of the Institute of Paint and Varnish Research; and head of the then-new Scientific Section of the Paint Manufacturers' Association of the United States.
In 1911, Gardner wrote his seminal Paint Technology & Tests, which has just been released free online by Project Gutenberg.
The 257-page work includes a chapter on "Structural Steel Paint Tests" and cites the fledgling American Society for Testing and Materials extensively.
A Work's Heritage
Gardner eventually established the Henry A. Gardner Laboratory to develop and design physical testing instruments for coating materials, as such instruments were not then generally available to the public. (The Laboratory was acquired by Pacific Scientific in 1980 and by the Altana AG Chemical Division of Byk-Chemie in 1990.).
In 1967, the Gardner Laboratory turned over sponsorship of the Gardner-Sward Manual to ASTM.
At that point, the manual became the sole charge of ASTM's newly formed Subcommittee 19 on the Gardner-Sward Handbook under Committee D-01 on Paint, Varnish, Lacquer and Related Materials.
That subcommittee assumed responsibility for all future revisions, editing and publication of the time-honored work, the editors reported in a preface to the 583-page 13th edition in 1972.
Today, ASTM International has become one of the largest international standards development and delivery systems in the world.

Does anyone have any advice to improve the "sit and reach" flexibility exam? I can barely reach my shins and I consider myself to be in decent shape. I've been stretching my hamstrings and lower back alot, however my progress has been slow. I'm trying to pass a fitness exam, but I can't seem to pass this one. I didn't realize how tight I really am. My flexibility really sucks!
I have to be able to sit and reach while keeping my knees straight 2 inches past my toes. Right now, it seems impossible.

I once heard the saying that a man is never truly a man until he stands naked in front of a woman.
Editor's Note: The Quality of Life Committee sponsored by the Perry County Development Corp. is partnering with The News to present the stories of people who have moved to Perry County or who have returned here after several years away. This column was written by Kenneth Simpson. When it was requested I write an article concerning my family's move to Tell City and Perry County, I had many thoughts. But basically, it was a case of my wife Sandra and me moving back home.
"Alice in Wonderland," Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's latest collaboration, is equal parts strange and goofy. This is not a bad thing, I was just hoping for something a bit darker. The film is still enjoyable and it certainly held my interest.
Spring is still two weeks away but already candidates' campaign signs are springing up like yellow daffodils. The advertising in front yards and the pages of The News are proof that Indiana's May 4 primary is fast approaching and locally contested races for sheriff, treasurer, county commissioner and county council.
A candidate forum April 15 at the Schergens Center will give candidates a public chance to outline their reasons for running and their goals, if elected. So will questionnaires the newspaper will send to them in the next couple of weeks.
I know what many parents are concerned with these days ... Will their child excel in this harsh economic environment? What about preparing for future careers and challenges?
I'm going to let you in on a well-kept secret in Perry County. There is an organization that helps youth develop leadership and citizenship skills. They can also learn other important life skills such as wise use of resources (planning a budget), healthy lifestyle choices (eating right and exercising) and social skills. It's 4-H!
OK, let's get one thing straight: Percy Jackson is not Harry Potter. If you had read anything else about "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" (from here on out I'll just stick with "The Lightning Thief") then you've read that Percy doesn't stack up against Harry.
Last week, a Florida magistrate judge ruled that Katherine Evans, a 19-year-old journalism student at the University of Florida, has the right to sue her former high-school principal after being suspended in 2007. Evans, a high-school senior at the time, was given a three-day suspension by former Pembroke Pines Charter High School principal Peter Bayer after she had created a Facebook page titled "Ms.
March 14 is Pi Day. That's because pi, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle, starts with the digits 3.14159. So, March 14, at 1:59 p.m. (or a.m. if you're up) is the appropriate day and minute to celebrate pi. We should pay special attention to Pi Day in Indiana, because Indiana has a special place in the history of pi. Back in 1897, Dr. Edwin J.

Katie Holloway, LSHS alum, playing paralympic volleyball.
Making my way down the news feed on Facebook one day I noticed that Lake Stevens High School alumni Katie Holloway posted a picture of herself on the front of a Wheaties box.
I was intrigued and so I decided to ask her about it.
"Just to clarify, the Wheaties box was purely a gift from some of the marketing people at General Mills and unfortunately won't be sold on shelves," Holloway said. However, "l am always honored to write to anyone from Lake Stevens."
While the box may not be an official one that we can pick up at our local grocery store, it is still pretty impressive that the marketing team at General Mills even thought to do this.
"Getting my own Wheaties box with my picture on it is right up there with winning a medal. Every American feels the same way about competing for their country and what better way to represent that than the time-honored tradition of the Wheaties box," Holloway said.
Holloway graduated from Lake Stevens High School in 2004. While there she played both basketball and volleyball. She went on to play basketball at Cal State Northridge and is now a Recreation Therapist at the Palo Alto VA.
"I work with chronically ill veterans to increase their health and wellness through recreation and leisure opportunities," she explained.
Holloway continues to play volleyball as a Paralympian and will soon be competing in the World Championships.
Katie Holloway n the front of her own personal Wheaties box.
"I am currently training for World Championships in Elblag, Poland this year in June," she said. "I live in Santa Clara, California and train part time.
When Holloway was born she was diagnosed with fibular hemimelia.
"Which means I was born without a fibula bone in my right leg. So at 20 months my parents decided to have my foot amputated," Holloway explained.
She feels it a privilege to be able to compete against some of the world's best athletes.
"I am not required to play sitting down, I get to," she said.
Even though Holloway is not an official box of Wheaties, she is a great example of a strong, female athlete and especially one who had her basic training in the halls of Lake Stevens' schools.

Norfolk CC are sending a letter to every family that are eligible for free school meals. Application forms are not yet available however.
According to one of the presentations at the E2BN e-safety conference, the Becta Home Access scheme is due to be launched in January 2010. Have any schools had any concrete information from their LAs about how the scheme will actually be administered? That is, how eligible parents get hold of the forms, etc.? I have trawled the web (some links and attachements below) but can't find anything that gives us an actual date and an actual procedure. I would have thought it would be good for schools to be prepared prior to any national press announcements...?
Becta Schools - Extending opportunities - Home access - How Home Access works
Norfolk CC are sending a letter to every family that are eligible for free school meals. Application forms are not yet available however.
Any info on Wlesh schools requirement if any?
garethedmondson (17th December 2009)
Right so firms have got vendor status and can supply equipment under the scheme. The firm has won the contract to run the home access project (Capita I believe).
It then depends on LA some LAs are having nothing to do with as such apart from provide info to schools (as there is no money to pay LA staff) some LAs are more proactive.
Start was delayed slightly at last point.. TO be fair schools shouldn't need to do anything as otherwise it could open a whole can of worms.
The LA's that are running the schemes themselves - do they also support the machines - hardware / software issues, warranty repairs etc?
And the opposite to the above - do the schools aggregation their own scheme are they responsible for the management and support of these devices?
How the LA may support the scheme is going to be an individual decision for them. Some may have a recommended solution others may just be helping support parents in applying.
Thanks for everyone's input. Our head is concerned and reluctant to flag the scheme to parents when we don't know anything more concrete, and our LA are only now looking into the scheme. Also, at the E2BN conference, they mentioned that the initial pilot had run into funding problems (funds ran out). One of the questions was about what would happen in the roll out if the funds ran out, but there wasn't a definitive answer. So there are also concerns about missing out. I guess it will just be a case of keeping a constant eye on the Becta website.
The line that we have decided to take is to make parents aware of the scheme (and thus take advantage of the inevitable boost in free school meal numbers ) and offer help to apply but make it clear it is not a school scheme and we are not responsible for the equipment.
Oldham and somewhere else were test councils to run this, we as a school in Oldham had no input into who got a PC/Laptop.
It ran eariler this year, we had a few parents ring up for information, and ran a link on our website, and someone from the council came to parents evenings to sell it to the parents.
We had leaflets in school, but other than that as a school we didn't have to do anything.
Hi Everyone,
I'm from BLi Education, which is one of 6 companies authorised by Becta to supply Home Access kits, and I've just joined this forum so I thought Id try to answer some of Andies (& others) questions. As you probably know, BLi Education is the home of TAG Learning, Sherston, SEMERC and Economatics Education.
The Home Access Programme is officially being launched this week at the World Education Forum (by Gordon Brown) and at the BETT Show in London (by Diana Johnson). From that point onwards, anyone who thinks they might be eligible can call the hotline (run by Capita for Becta) to find out more. A good rule of thumb is families with children in KS2/ KS3 who are on free school meals should be eligible. Also, schools interested in aggregating orders on behalf of their parents have until the end of February to register with Becta, but must also be registered with the e-Learning Foundation.
Just so that you have the facts, BLi Education is including over £570 worth of free curriculum software from TAG, Sherston & Economatics with each computer/laptop, and I think we are unique in this part. You can find out more about what we are offering at our Home Access Computers (just Google Home Access Computers or BLi Education) or by ringing 0800 258 5990,
and parents and schools can contact the Home Access Grant Administration Service (HAGAS, run by Capita) at 0333 200 1004.
Incidentally, the support and warranty will be provided by the suppliers, backed by the manufacturers, all machines come with a year's theft insurance, there is e-safety and anti-virus software installed, and Becta have provided a suite of software at no extra cost, which includes some assistive technology tools, such as screen magnifiers, text-to-speech, predictive text, spell-checkers etc. With the full package there is also one year's broadband connectivity provided as well.
So it's a very well-specified package, and should be something that parents and chidren can use straight out of the box.
For a school, there could be a lot of benefit in helping parents not only to fill in the forms correctly, but also to make the right choices in terms of the type of package to order.
Hope this is helpful!

Replying to a comment from Chris Nash.
Oh, Chris started out asking if HD Morgans had a website. Don't think so, but it does have great steaks (it is a new steakhouse in town), and the chef (Big Brian) is my next door neighbour….. for the red meat lovers in town, definitely worth a visit, but bring your appetite, portions are enormous !
Anyway, re swimming, my involvement with swimming is on the board of CIASA, the national body responsible for the sport, with a particular focus on developing the sport and facilities (we are shooting to build a world class 50m pool facility, and hope to have some great news to make public later this year).
Cayman is a small island, so many sports find it tough to provide competition for their athletes, so swimming is ideal. First of all swimming is a sport done against the clock, so a time is a time is a time, no matter where it is swum. Second, swimmers tend to only peak for competition a few times per year, so our swimmers train hard at home all year, then peak for a few overseas trips a year. It works well, as shown by our results.
Why do I get so involved ? Well, my kids are in the sport, but that is how I discovered it, not why I am involved. I am involved because the sport, as run in Cayman, is dedicated to achieving the very best. Whatever is done, is done well, mediocrity is not acceptable. As you can imagine, with some sports on a small island, it is easy enough to settle for "good enough". Good enough to be on the national team and represent the island… even if not good enough to contend internationally. Swimming however, is a sport where Cayman does not settle for second best in their athletes, and I support that wholeheartedly and feel that this provides excellent life lessons for the athletes.
For adults, there are two avenues available. First of all, there is a very active Masters group, which swims in the pool twice a week, and also some of them swim regularly in the sea. The pool group is run by (we are spoiled here), Mike Barrowman, Olympic gold medallist and past world record holder… a legend to breastrokers (and an all round good guy!).
Secondly, we have an active open water swim schedule, and some of the best open water swimming conditions in the world, right off 7MB.
I almost forgot, one more option is triathlon, with a flat island and great weather conditions, we have lots of keen triathletes.
Of course for those with hand/eye co-ordination (sorry, small dig there from a racquet sports player… ie me), we have a great squash club (7 courts!), which is about to re-open after extensive renovations and upgrades post-Ivan. Our squash team has a great track record regionally, with numerous Caribbean junior, senior and team championships in the past. For adults moving to the island, give squash a try, it is a great workout and the social life (the bar afterwards!) is worth a look to… of course I could be biased… I met my wife playing squash, and we both have played for the national team for more years than I can count.
Right, that's the "local knowledge" post for the night out of the way !
