When making an important decision that will impact the lives of your children, you need to have all the facts in place. We compiled a list of the most important factors to consider when choosing a final private school for your child.
As you evaluate schools, take time to explore fully what the schools which you are looking at teach.
Here are some more answers and resources to help you deal with tough questions such as "What do I do when my child doesn't test well?"

I don't usually watch TV because I get less than 15 channels and half of them are in Spanish. But lately my girlfriend and I have been watching "Thintervention" on demand at her apartment. In case you don't know, "Thintervention" is about a group of overweight people being whipped into shape by Jackie Warner, a badass, super-fit trainer who made her debut into pop culture with "Work Out," another show which I watched religiously.
Yes, I have a crush on Jackie. She is a lesbian and a fairly butch one at that. Her arms are extremely muscular and she has a stomach that I would do practically anything for. She gets in people's faces, barks orders and doesn't take "no" for an answer. Keep reading »

You can leave the geek part to me. Seriously. Unless, of course, you want to make a foray into the tech world – I can help you with that too!
My goal is to help you have an amazing online presence.
- one that reflects you and your brand
- attracts your ideal clients
- is super-easy for you to maintain
- and have FUN while you are building your online empire!
Online technology is not rocket science.
We are not curing cancer.
I've been doing this stuff for a long time – from back when "yahoo" was something you hollered when you found out you were going to Disney World, way before it was something you "did."
It's not a mystery. Trust me. There are a lot of folks in the industry who want you to believe that – they're like the Wizard of Oz, all magnified heads and curtains, but I believe you can learn as much or as little of this as you want.
I want you to know what technical components make up your awesome online self and how they fit together – at least enough so that you can make the decisions that will take your business up, up and UP!
When I started in this business I made the decision NOT to use technical jargon if I could help it. It's alienating and confusing. I love IT – information technology – but I get that not everyone does. So I try very hard not to "speak geek" and to make all of this information as accessible as possible.
Having a coaching background helps me to find out what really is going to work for you in the long run. Your online self should reflect you and your brand and at the same time take advantage of the latest in web technology so that you can compete with the best. And that's where I come in.
What Clients Are Saying
The process of co-creating my site, with Pam, was fun, exciting, and uplifting. Pam's intuition coupled with her tech savvy know-how and professionalism make her the best web designer I know! I highly recommend her. I honestly feel like I've gained a business partner and friend in addition to gaining a web designer! And that feels awesome!– Rebecca Snowball, vibrantyogaentrepreneur.com
When I was first starting out, Pamela was like this peaceful little oasis amidst a storm of ideas and questions. I knew that when I reached out to her she would get back to me quickly with either a quick fix or wise piece of advice. Without her I wouldn't have been able to develop the back-end functionality on my website that I was hoping for. She is patient, funny, trustworthy, and honest, not to mention highly skilled.– Allegra Stein, allegrastein.com
The Personal Details
- 30 – count 'em – years of experience in software development, primarily as a project manager, but I did my time in development, customer support and management as well.
- Studied medicinal herbalism for over 15 years which led to the publishing of two books – The Traveler's Natural Medicine Kit and Planting the Future.
- Traveled all over the world. Venezuela, Libya, Europe, Malaysia, Iran – most of this due to my father's job, but some through my own work as well.
- I'm a quintuple Sagittarius – Sun, Moon, Rising and two other planets in Sag – my husband says that's nothing to be proud of…whatever!
- Artist – potter, painter and writer
- I love Jane Austen, being on the ocean, and always learning. Freedom is my most cherished value and I am the Explorer/Adventurer archetype.

The latest figures show there were a total of 2,500 loans during the quarter, worth £240m.
This represents an increase of 4% by number and value over the previous three months.
Meanwhile UK-wide lending fell 5% by volume and 7% by value.
Chair of CML NI, Derek Wilson, said he hopes the positive result will "breed confidence" in the local market.
"The increase in house purchase loans is a much needed confidence boost to the market in Northern Ireland," Mr Wilson said.
"Lack of job security and underlying economic uncertainty have led to a lack of demand for mortgages, particularly among movers.
"We need to try to combat the general feeling of negativity and to promote the value of the wider property market to the economy encouraging confidence to breed confidence."
Property values have been falling for months amid weak demand and the wider economic crisis which has restricted lending.
Overall figures for 2011 showed an 11% decrease in the number of mortgages in NI at 8,800 loans - however the 7,200 remortgage loans taken out represented a 1% increase from 2010.
The number of first-time buyers in Northern Ireland stayed at 1,400 from the third quarter to the final quarter and increased from 1,100 in the last quarter of 2010.
Tom McClelland, housing spokesman for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, said: "The housing market is bumping around.
"If you look at the auction results they are good because of high levels of sales because the prices are so low.
"There is a large amount of debt that has to be dealt with, the price falls make houses a lot more affordable for most of the population."

Design reliability of the railway wagon axle with 30 ton axle weigh is assessed on a basis of the code EN 13103 loads set. Constraint effects of the interference fits between wheels – axle and bearings – axle are taken into account. Integrated wheelset model of finite element method is applied to calculate the axle stresses, in which the rail pieces, wheels, axle, bearings, and adapters are fitted and analyzed together. Results reveal that the maximum stress section is at outer side close to wheel seat, different from the prediction of inner side close to wheel seat by the code analytic method. Under requirement of 3, 000, 000 km and 99 percentage of confidence, the evaluated axle design reliability is 0.9987 if manufacturing by the existent LZ50 axle steel. And if by the material EA1N or EA4T of the code EN 13103, the present design meets also the requirement of the code EN 13103.

After driving my Focus MK2 for over 6 1/2 Years it was time for something new. Unfortunately there were only a few (very young) used cars in the country which met my requirements. After a long search I finally found my new car:
2013 Focus MK3 5-doors Champions Edition
My car is a German spec Focus MK3 Champions edition Edition. Because of the Ford sponsorship of the Champions Leage in 2013 Ford Germany offered this special (limited) edition for a few months.
My car has the following options:
Engine: 1.0 ECOboost 125 PS with 6-speed manual transmission.
Color: Midnicht Sky metallic.
Interior: Ultimate/Lux / Charcoal Black
Front and Rear Parking Sensors.
Active Park Assist.
Active City stop.
Powerfold Mirrors.
Power 1-shot Up/Down Front & Rear Windows.
Global closing Titanium.
Rear Privacy Glass.
Dual Zone Climate Control.
Heated Windshield.
Heated Washer jets.
Heated Seats.
Start/Stop System.
Rain Sensor.
Light Sensor.
Front Fog Lights.
Hill Start Assist.
The car did have 16 inch alloy wheels as standard but because I like my own 17 inch alloy Focus MK2.5 wheels a bit more I decided to install my own wheels instead of the original 16 inch alloy wheels.
In my opinion these wheels look great on the Focus MK3.
My Focus MK3 did originally not have Cruise Control. Cruise Control was not a standard feature on the German spec Champions Edition. Strange enough the first owner did order all possible options which were available on the Champions edition except Cruise Control. Because I am used to have Cruise Control and I really miss it I decided to retrofit Cruise Control to my car. There are some aftermarket solutions to retrofit Cruise Control to a Focus MK3 but personally I do not want an extra stalk or aftermarket buttons. So I decided to retrofit the OEM Cruise Control system.
Because I could not find a mint condition replacement Cruise Control steering wheel for my car I decided to modify my own steering wheel instead of buying a new one.
In my opinion it looks very good. The Cruise Control switch fits perfectly into the cutout I made at the side of the steering wheel. The Cruise Control switch is a very snug fit and all edges line up perfectly. The steering wheel does look exactly the same as an original Cruise Control steering wheel. From the outside there are no visible differences.
I made a guide about retrofitting Cruise Control to a Focus MK3. This guide can be found on the following weblink:
During winter I drive on a set of 15 inch steel Focus MK2/MK2.5 wheels with winter tyres.
Despite 15 inch wheels were officially never available for the Focus MK3 they fit without any problems on the 1.0 ECOboost models. The 1.6 TI-VCT and 1.0 ECOboost versions have 278 mm front disc brakes. This is exactly the same disc size as the Focus MK2/MK2.5 versions which were available with 15 inch wheels. On other Focus MK3 engine types Ford used bigger brakes which require at least 16 inch wheels.
Next year I plan to perform some more modifications on the car. The next modifications are on my wish list:
* A pair of HID projector headlamps.
* Some LED bulbs which match the color of the HID lamps.
* New instrument cluster with a bigger display.
* New OEM Sony satnav system with the bigger color display.
* New OEM rearview camera.

Countywide count includes homeless resource events in Rochester, Yelm, Olympia and Tenino
Volunteers are needed to help with the annual homeless census in Thurston County, and with several "Homeless Connect" resource fair events, all happening Thursday, January 29 through Saturday, January 31. The Thurston County census and resource fairs are part of a nationwide "Point in Time" homeless count designed to help determine who is homeless, why, and what resources are needed to help people get back to independence.
2015 homeless census organizers will mobilize hundreds of volunteers to fan out across the county to find and interview homeless residents. Previous census volunteers have included individuals from local schools and colleges, non-profit organizations, faith communities, businesses, elected officials, and even some volunteers struggling with homelessness themselves.
"We need a lot of volunteers to make this a successful census." said Homeless Census Coordinator Anna Schlecht. "Each year, we draw people from all walks of life to fan out throughout the county to learn who's homeless and why. By working together, we all learn more about homelessness and about the roles we can play to help folks get back into housing."
The 2015 homeless census will include a new special outdoor "Youth Count!" event at the Artesian Well in downtown Olympia. Volunteers are needed for Youth Count! so that census organizers can reach more street-dependent youth who are often hard to find using other census methods. The Youth Count! event will feature live music, a youth-run hot dog stand, social services and survival resources. All Youth Count! activities will occur rain or shine, under canopies as needed.
Along with the census and survey canvasing, volunteers are also needed for four homeless resource fair events where families and individuals struggling with homelessness can connect with social services, and where they can also get hot meals, warm clothing, and other survival commodities. This year's "Homeless Connect" resource fair events will be held in Rochester and Yelm on Thursday, January 29, and in downtown Olympia and in Tenino on Saturday, January 31.
The annual Thurston County Homeless Census is coordinated by the City of Olympia, which has a contract with Thurston County to do the census. The results of the census are used to help guide federal, state and local funding decisions for local shelters, transitional housing, and related supportive services. The Thurston County HOME Consortium oversees the annual census and uses the data to help make recommendations for the multi-jurisdictional administration of the county's housing programs.
If you are interested in volunteering with the 2015 Thurston County Homeless Census or at the Homeless Connect resource fair events in Rochester, Yelm, Olympia or Tenino, contact Homeless Census Coordinator Anna Schlecht at (360) 753-8183 or email@example.com. You can register to help online here.

Submitted by Harlequin Productions
With the start of the 2008 economic recession, financial woes began spreading across our local county. Individuals and businesses alike felt the blow as consumer confidence fell and unemployment rose. Arts organizations in particular were adversely impacted, and Olympia's own Harlequin Productions found itself right in the path of the oncoming economic storm.
It took a couple years for the non-profit theater company to feel the effects, but it happened soon enough. As Managing Artistic Director, Scot Whitney describes, "In November 2010, it was like someone flipped a switch and all of a sudden ticket sales, sponsors, and donations fell off."
Since that sudden and distinct drop off in support over four years ago, Harlequin has experienced a steady, discouraging decline in ticket sales and has struggled to find new sponsors and advertisers. "We are so grateful to those local businesses and donors who continued their support through it all because we wouldn't have made it without them." says Scot Whitney.
"It was heartbreaking," says Artistic Director, Linda Whitney. "Year after year our reserves were depleted. Heading into Season 2015, the forecast for the next year looked pretty bleak." Early projections showed a cash flow shortage of about $50,000 come April 2015. Yes, Harlequin was facing complete depletion of its reserves and had started planning a special campaign to increase working capital to make it through.
The company's leaders, however, were forced to face the possibility that Harlequin's story may be coming to an end. "We have always said that we would be here presenting our distinctive brand of theater as long as the community supported it," recalls Linda. "We decided that no matter what, we would not go into debt. If the day ever came that we couldn't make payroll, or we couldn't pay our actors, we'd shut the doors."
Then this past October, something happened. Harlequin opened their production of Clybourne Park, a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy by Bruce Norris. It was a play that local critics praised, but tickets sales were lagging (a familiar story by this time). For the first two weekends, the show sold 20% under projections. But the final two weekends shocked the company by selling significantly over projections, with the final weekend nearly selling out. It had been years since they'd seen a non-musical performance come close to selling out.
"I came in for the show one night in the third weekend and thought the ticket sales report might have been a typo," remembers Scot. "It wasn't until I was standing in front of the audience during the curtain speech that I could let myself believe we actually had a sold-out crowd."
After Clybourne Park closed, Harlequin was scratching its head wondering what suddenly happened halfway through the run. But they didn't have too much time to think, because their next show, The Stardust Christmas Commotion, the latest in Harlequin's series of holiday musicals, was opening in a few short weeks.
Going into Stardust, Harlequin wasn't quite sure what to expect. Was the sudden success of Clybourne Park just a fluke? Or was it a sign that things were getting better?
They got their answer: Stardust not only sold extremely well, it broke records. The Stardust Christmas Commotion filled the theater to an average of 95% of capacity. Seventeen out of its twenty-four performances sold out, and the show set a new all-time Harlequin record for most consecutive sold-out performances with fourteen straight completely packed houses. "We added two performances to the run to try to accommodate the demand," said Korja Giles, Harlequin's Box Office Manager, "but in the final week, we had to turn people away. It was terrible to have to disappoint so many people during the holidays!"
"We think someone may have flipped the switch back on," declared Scot and Linda Whitney.
Has someone finally flipped the switch? They have reason to feel optimistic. With the success of The Stardust Christmas Commotion, the projected $50,000 cash flow deficit has been whittled down to about $15,000, a much more manageable challenge.
And things are not just looking up for Harlequin but for Olympia as a whole. People everywhere seem to be more optimistic. The Arts bring more than culture to a community. The success of Stardust brought more people downtown, enhancing local economic activity as Harlequin patrons shopped and dined before and after performances. A recent Harlequin survey shows that 76% of their patrons dine out as a part of their theater excursion while 26% shop at local retail shops. "We see a 20% increase in our business on Harlequin show nights," commented Mark Arndt, manager of the neighboring McMenamins Spar Café.
This city is known for its appreciation of the arts. And the resurgence of its theater scene is good news for everyone who appreciates a vibrant and culturally diverse downtown.
Harlequin is clearly excited about its upcoming offerings for Season 2015. Up next is The 39 Steps by Patrick Barlow, an outrageously comic stage version of Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film thriller in which four actors play an incomprehensible number of characters. Find a list of all Harlequin Season 2015 shows at harlequinproductions.org. If recent experience is any indication, you may want to grab your tickets sooner rather than later.
Next year's Season 2016 will mark the 25th year that Harlequin Productions has been producing extraordinary theatrical adventures for the greater Olympia community. "It looks like we just may be around to celebrate our silver anniversary year," says Linda. "And that's good news!"
The Deschutes Estuary Restoration Team (DERT), is holding a Volunteer Training on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at the Harbor House located at 216 Thurston Avenue in Olympia on Percival Landing. The training will start at 10 a.m. and run until 2 p.m.
The Volunteer Training will help DERT kick off our new Estuary Stewards Program and will feature the "Then and Now" of the Deschutes estuary – including watershed information and a current update on restoration efforts. We will also feature activities for the volunteer Estuary Stewards to engage in, everything from working on special projects like publication of our new Deschutes Watershed Guide to grant writing, technical work, events tabling, public speaking, office work and more. We will also take a short walking tour of the areas of estuarine importance in downtown Olympia. The program will be fun, interactive and full of great information to help train our Estuary Stewards who in turn will help DERT tell the story of this beneficial estuary restoration effort. Together, we can help rebuild a vibrant and healthy urban environment.
Snacks and refreshments will be served. To sign up please fill out this form by January 20, 2015. For questions, please contact Sue Patnude at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Olympia Beer's famous motto, "It's the Water," refers to the fresh artesian spring water used in the original Tumwater brewery's production and showcases what set the brew apart from the competition. Likewise, when you ask area sandwich lovers what sets local sub shop Meconi's Italian Subs apart from the rest you'll likely hear, "It's the Bread."
Six days a week you'll find Meconi's head baker, Callie Robello, up before the sun, heating the ovens to bake Meconi's signature breads and baked goods. Along with a crew of three additional bakers, Callie arrives at the bakery between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m. each morning (except a well-deserved Sunday off). Yes, you read that right – 2:30 a.m.
Meconi's and Robello know the early hour is what it takes to create scratch-baked bread each day so you can enjoy your favorite sub on a roll baked that morning. It's a promise and commitment that Meconi's makes to its customers and you can taste the quality and baking know-how in each bite.
Meconi's Bakery, located next to the Lacey store, has been crafting their own baked goods for over 15 years. Operations Manager Robin Vaughn shares they used to purchase rolls in the early days, then rented space in a nearby building to begin creating their own signature bread. When demand grew, they built the bakery facility on site to suit the unique needs of their production.
The mixer alone is a stunning piece of machinery. Add to that the custom calibrated dough divider, huge proofer (where the rolls rise) and the rotating, walk-in oven and you have a facility that can easily handle the 1200 sub rolls and 12 dozen or more cookies baked daily.
Everything is made from scratch using the same ingredients you'd use in your own home, just on a lot larger scale. Flours and dry ingredients are weighed a day ahead, when the day's baking is done, and stored in bins ready to be mixed first thing the next morning. "We want to prep ahead," laughs Robello, "When we arrive in the dark, we can just add yeast and water and not have to think too much first thing when we arrive."
The dough is mixed for 9 ½ minutes then transferred to the bench table to be portioned into strips. These strips are then fed into the dough divider. This amazing machine sections the dough, weighing each portion, ensuring each roll is exactly the same. It then rolls each portion into perfectly sized rolls before depositing them on a baking tray for the final touches by the bakers.
The bread racks then spend 1 ½ to 2 hours in the "proofer" to rise before baking. "The amount of time spent in the proofer really varies depending on the weather," shares Robello. "Temperature and humidity can affect the consistency of the dough. If the temperature of the dough is off, the batch can be ruined." Sometimes even professionals make mistakes. "We've had to throw out a few batches," Robello admits, "but we get pretty good at what we do."
Robello joined the Meconi's team as head baker about two years ago. Raised in Elma after a childhood in Germany with her military family, she originally planned a career in forensics. But she loved baking at home and thought, "why don't I do this for a job?"
She enrolled in the pastry program at South Puget Sound Community College and worked as a baker in a few locations before joining Meconi's. "It's my first time as a head baker," she shares. "I really love seeing the satisfaction on people's face when they eat the bread I bake." That satisfaction comes from ensuring every roll is baked fresh each morning. Never is the bread par-baked and held for a later day. Each roll goes from flour and water to the signature soft, golden roll each day.
"Most people don't know we go the extra mile to make all our baked goods from scratch. No other sandwich shop does that and I think it comes from our passion to make truly fresh, homemade food for our customers," Robello shares.
In addition to the fresh rolls and delicious cookies, the bakery is starting to add some seasonal specialty items to the menu this year. In December, they offered a white chocolate-orange-cranberry scones. Be on the lookout for some new homemade treats in 2015.
Robello is also the genius behind the new Meconi's gluten-free rolls. The rave reviews from customers are a testament to Robello's dedication and skill.
Meconi's commitment to quality, from scratch cooking extends to its meatballs and chili (both made from scratch from the old Meconi family recipe), salads, and select dressings. Scratch-made salads include egg, tuna, pasta, macaroni, and potato salads. The balsamic vinaigrette, raspberry vinaigrette, and honey mustard dressings are also crafted in-house.
Meconi's Italian Subs are a local favorite for good reason. The commitment to crafting products from scratch keeps customers coming back for more. With Robello leading the baking team at Meconi's, fans of the sub shop can rest easy that they can say "It's the Bread" for years to come.
By Gail Wood
Attached to David Cooper's achievement – he is Tumwater High School's all-time leading scorer in basketball – is an assumption.
To score more points than anyone in the history of the 55-year-old school, he must be a gunner, a ball hog armed with a shooter's mentality. But, his coach, Thomas Rowswell, will tell you nothing could be further from the truth.
"His feel for the game is one of the best I've seen for a high school kid," Rowswell said. "When he gets the ball, he makes a good decision 95 percent of the time. He doesn't force it."
Cooper the scorer is also Cooper the passer. Along with his 21.6 scoring averaging is the nearly five assists he averages per game. This is one scoring king who is more focused on winning than popping a contested jumper and padding his stats. It's all about winning.
"He's probably one of the best team guys I've seen," Rowswell said. "He's unconditional. He cares about his teammates. He does what it takes for his team to win."
Five games into the season, Cooper, a starter on the varsity since his freshman year, scored his 1,065th point, making him his school's scoring king. He started the season 98 points behind Duane Cordiner's record total of 1,064 points that he scored from 1962-64. Brandon Semken is third at 1,024 points and Scott Gurnsey is fourth at 900.
Cooper's been crowned scoring king, averaging just under double digits his freshman year and 15-plus after that. And now Cooper, scoring 231 points after 11 games this season, has 1,213 career points and continues to pull away from the crowd, doing what no one has ever done at his school. Cooper is the one T-Bird fans will be talking about decades from now, saying, "Remember how David Cooper could shoot?"
But Cooper isn't distracted by the record or by the focus from opposing teams, trying to stop him. He's not feeling any pressure about being the Thunderbirds' go-to-guy. Off to an 11-1 start, Tumwater isn't a one-gun team. Not with 6'10" Weston Vandenhazel and 6'5″ Ty Gentry averaging in double figures.
"I don't think there's that much pressure just because I've got such good teammates," Cooper said. "I know that defenses also focus on guys like Ty Gentry and Weston Vandenhazel. We just have so many threats offensively they can't take away everything."
Because of Cooper's size – he's 6'5″ and plays guard. Because of his shooting touch – he's shooting 52 percent from the field for the season. And because of his knack for dribbling past a defender, Cooper is a scoring machine, scoring a season-high 34 and topping 30 points several times.
Cooper got an early start in the game. He began playing basketball at age five, with his dad coaching his South Sound YMCA team. And from the start, Cooper, even though he was tall, played guard. He wasn't put inside to play center, which his dad, David Cooper Sr., did, eventually playing at the University of Portland.
"I think at a young age coaches and my dad saw that I could handle the ball," Cooper said. "So I just worked on that a lot. I worked on my perimeter skills and my shooting so I could play outside."
That doesn't mean Cooper doesn't know how to go inside and post up. His dad made sure he learned what a jump hook was.
"Yeah, my dad definitely taught me a lot of post moves," Cooper said. "I got my foot work down."
So far this season, Cooper has played every position on the floor – point guard, shooting guard, forward and post.
"He's played a little of everything because he has that skill set to do a little bit of everything," Rowswell said. "And he's hit the weight room and put on five pounds of muscle. That helps him inside."
Despite his knack for putting a basket through a hoop, Cooper can't be defined just by his basketball stats. This is hardly a dumb jock. Cooper is averaging 3.99 GPA, an A-minus in Algebra II ruining a perfect 4.0. He stumbled in an Algebra test coming back from a vacation, messing up his chance at acing the class.
"I missed it by like .5 percent," Cooper said with a smile. "It was tough. But it's okay. The importance of grades and academics are definitely something my parents taught me."
And besides learning about posting up on the basketball court and the value of school work, Cooper picked up something else from his dad. Cooper, like his father, wants to be an Air Force pilot. Cooper, Sr. flew KC 135s and served 28 years in the Air Force.
Cooper Jr. wants to attend the Air Force Academy next year and play basketball. He's been talking with the coach there and he's already got his congressional nomination from Congressman Denny Heck.
"Yeah, I want to go to flight training and pilot school afterwards," Cooper said. "I'd love to be a fighter pilot. That's the top. Just being a pilot would be a great experience."
Beside basketball and studies, Cooper is also involved with student government. He's the ASB Secretary and also helps with pep assemblies, blood drives and school dances.
"David is a nice young man," said Tim Graham, Tumwater's athletic director. "He's not only polite, he's a strong leader in our school."
And he'll be remembered for being everyone's friend who scored more points than anyone in school history.

The Star Dieppe discharged cargo at the Port of Olympia and then anchored near Cooper Point for a few days while undergoing repairs. It is expected to sail on the high tide tonight or tomorrow.
It is not unusual for ships to require repairs while in port and the repairs would typically occur at the pier. However, due to the Port's dredging project near the pier, the Star Dieppe anchored out in the channel during the repairs.
The follow-up dredging pass now underway is a requirement of the Army Corps of Engineers' permit for the maintenance dredge which was completed in 2014. The purpose of the maintenance dredge was to restore the depth levels that help ensure safe operations at the pier. Both dredges also remove legacy pollution from the area.

Even though I was traumatized at an early age by the strong suggestion that I merely mouth the words in the school choir, I so admire my many friends with beautiful singing voices. As a matter of fact, I choose to sit in their shadow at an annual Christmas "Sing-Along" party. One friend in particular always has a big smile on her face when she talks about being a member of the Olympia Peace Choir.
The Olympia Peace Choir is a unique grassroots organization that began five years ago as the brainchild of Kerri Lynn Nichols and a group of friends. Kerri Lynn describes, "Initially it was devised as a way to find joy and positivity in the power of singing as a counter to the negativity of the political and cultural divisiveness around us." She and a group of eight or nine friends gathered to discuss how they could create a group that shared their goal of welcoming all levels of singing ability and creating quality through inclusion.
"The first night we had a group of 45," Kerri Lynn told me. "We never envisioned that many people showing up or how the group would grow." Currently 110 members gather each Monday night from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church to learn new music and practice for performances. "We are not affiliated with any religious group," she told me. "We have just found a wonderful place to practice and perform. The group mirrors the diversity of our community, as does our music. We sing classical, international, contemporary and original pieces."
I asked my friend, Ann Sharar, what motivated her to become a member. She said, "A friend and I saw the Olympia Peace Choir performing at the Olympia Farmers Market. We thought it might be fun to be a participant. When we found an announcement describing the group as friendly with no auditions and that every voice counts, we were even more motivated."
Ann finds that the inclusiveness and open mindedness promotes both learning music of other cultures and the stories surrounding that music. The group has a few storytellers who expand on the historical and cultural aspects of the pieces they are practicing.
For their MLK-inspired performance in the Capitol Rotunda on January 17 from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m., the Olympia Peace Choir is learning a Turkish Laz work song, "Heyamo." It tells the story of the Laz minority group separated from family by the natural borders established during a Soviet takeover. In order to see family, the Laz would have to travel one thousand miles by land rather than merely crossing the river. Some choir members are also talented musicians and have formed a Klezmer band to accompany this piece. This performance, as are all the Peace Choir performances, is open to the public.
The mission of The Olympia Peace Choir according to Kerri Lynn Nichols is "to make the power of the community singing vibrate earth and shift together to make a slow movement toward peace and justice." With that goal in mind, each March the Peace Choir plans a benefit concert and silent auction with the proceeds benefitting a local organization. Past recipients have been SideWalk and SafePlace.
This year's concert will be March 28 at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, and they have chosen to support Pear Blossom Place Family Support Center with the proceeds. Kerri Lynn said the leadership of the group is totally community based with a Board of Directors that oversees organizational issues. The group nominated five organizations and voted as a group in early January to support the new shelter.
The Peace Choir meets from September through May and members are urged to commit for that period of time. "Whoever comes is supposed to be here," Kerri Lynn said, "but, of course, we are always looking for a few more men and younger folks." Currently the youngest member is 11 and the oldest 85. Each year for the benefit concert, they invite another group to be part of the program. Last year the Vashon Island Free Range Folk Choir joined them; this year's group has not yet been chosen.
The Peace Choir receives many requests to perform, but often the venues are not large enough to accommodate the members and accompanists. Currently the Board of Directors is piloting a project auditioning interested members for six or eight smaller a'cappella groups that could entertain at nursing homes, memory care centers or hospitals, for example. Since Peace Choir does not meet during the summer months, the a'cappella choirs could perform then also.
If you have a passion for singing, the Olympia Peace Choir is waiting for you. If you are a silent singer like me, enjoy the Peace Choir's performances as an enthusiastic audience member and maybe even tap your foot with the band.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'"
Many people will have a day off work to observe Martin Luther King Day on Monday. But for several community groups and organizations, the upcoming holiday will be considered a "day on." This weekend, to celebrate what would have been King's 86th birthday, several local non-profit organizations and community groups are hosting service projects to honor the late civil rights activist and promote social justice.
Claire Skelley, AmeriCorps member and Water Resources Assistant Outreach Coordinator is helping to lead one of these service projects with Stream Team, an organization that strives to protect and enhance local water resources, habitats and wildlife by involving citizens. She and other volunteers will be planting trees at Lacey's Woodland Creek Community Park. She says when people work together on projects like these it often brings out enthusiasm and good will.
"This event is a great example of the power of service," Skelley said. "It's a network of dedicated people working together to inspire environmental stewardship, cultivate a sense of community, and enhance our public lands and waterways."
From improving the environment to collecting clothing and essential items for the homeless, there is no shortage of projects in which people of all ages may partake. All events take place on Martin Luther King Day (Monday, Jan. 19, unless otherwise noted)
Social Justice
Queerance Rack: AmeriCorps Youth in Service members are hosting a one-day event for youths who identify as being part of the LGBTQQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual) community. The all-day event takes place from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Sunday, January 25 at Olympia's Abigail Stuart House, 1002 Washingotn St. SE. The purpose is to create a safe place for youth to exchange clothing, learn about local resources, play games and share stories. Youths will also have the opportunity to network with each other and learn about local networks that can support them. Volunteers advocates and allies from non-profit organizations Stonewall Youth and Pizza Klatch will be there to provide information about resources. Those interested in volunteering may email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 360-888-7310.
HO-Down (Homeless Outreach Downtown) donation drive: The Emma Goldman Youth & Homeless Outreach Project, also known as EGYHOP, is hosting a donation drive and distribution project. EGYHOP is a non-profit organization that collects emergency supplies for homeless individuals in downtown Olympia. Each night a team of volunteers drives around on a bicycle hitched to a trailer with supplies and distributes them. Volunteers for the MLK Day project are collecting emergency supplies, hygiene products, socks, gloves, camping gear, blankets and first aid supplies. Carson Spaulding, one of the organizers of the project said donations for the MLK Day distribution will be collected through Jan. 17. The items, along with coffee and small packaged food items will be delivered to individuals Monday, Jan. 19. Spaulding said the greatest thing the project needs is more donations. Several donation bins have been set up around Olympia, including the Olympia Timberland Regional Library, 313 8th Ave. SE. Donations can also be dropped off at EGYHOP's regular collection sites, including Traditions Café, located at 300 5th Ave. SW and at Interfaith Works, 701 Franklin St. SE. For more information on EGYHOP and to view a complete list of items needed, visit EGYHOP's website or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
GRuB on a Budget: GRuB is hosting a free one-day healthy living workshop for low-income families. Families will learn about basis nutrition, wellness practices, and how to prepare affordable, healthy meals. Organizers hope the project will inspire families to cook together. There will be cooking demonstrations and participants will get the opportunity to create recipe books. Participants will also get to cook and eat a healthy meal. The event will be hosted by AmeriCorps service members from Community Youth Services, GRuB and Growing Veterans.
"In the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. we hope to reflect on the ways we can empower our communities toward food security and sovereignty with shared knowledge, skills and traditions," says Ali Mediate, Kitchen Garden Project and KGP Backyard Gardens Coordinator at GRuB.
The event runs form 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the GRuB Farmhouse, 2016 Elliot Ave. NW in Olympia. For more information, call (360) 753-5522.
Wa He Lut College Access Day: Volunteers will be partnering with several student organizations at The Evergreen State College to lead a series of campus tours for middle school students at Wa He Lut Indian School. Middle school students will also have the opportunity to participate in workshops and activities meant to encourage Native youth to pursue higher education. Current or former Evergreen students interested in assisting with the project can contact the college's Center For Community Based Learning at (360) 867-6137. The tours are set for 9:30 a.m. on Friday, January 16.
Restoring wildlife habitat may be just the ticket for volunteers who want to spend the day in outdoors. Three organizations are hosting work parties for volunteers that want to learn about local wildlife, nature and waterways. Volunteers should dress in appropriate gear. Most projects will have light refreshments, but participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch.
Plant A Tree: Stream Team is inviting volunteers of all ages for a tree planting and restoration work party from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at Woodland Creek Community Park, located at 6729 Pacific Ave SE in Lacey. Volunteers will be planting native tree and shrub varieties and doing maintenance on previous plantings to restore the riparian zone of an urban creek. The work will help filter water into the creek and crate better environments for wildlife and vegetation. Contact Claire Skelley at email@example.com to RSVP or visit the Untied Way of Thurston County's Volunteer Connection website and click on MLK Day of Service.
Prairie Restoration: The Center for Natural Lands Management is looking for volunteers to help plant native flora around Puget Sound. Organizers say the flora is a good source of food for rare and endangered butterflies. The work party takes place from 9:00 a.m – 3:00 p.m. Visit the United Way of Thurston County's Volunteer Connections website to register.
River Watershed Planting: The Nisqually Land Trust is looking for volunteers to help support the water, wildlife natural areas and scenic vistas of the Nisqually River Watershed. Volunteers will be planting trees at a site along a channel of the Nisqually River. The event takes place from 9:00 a.m – 4:00 p.m. and participants have the choice of volunteering for three hour shifts from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. For directions to the site and to RSVP, contact Cris Peck at email@example.com or visit the United Way of Thurston County's Volunteer Connection website.

A Puget SoundCorps team will work with City staff for the month of January to plant 43 new street trees along Harrison Ave, 18th Ave SE and various downtown locations to increase the City's community canopy and provide more of the benefits that trees bring to our community.
The Puget SoundCorps team will also work with City Parks staff to help eradicate invasive non-native vegetation and clean up storm damage at select parks. The selected City Parks are Lions Park, Grass Lake and Priest Point Park, Percival Landing and Yauger Park. Invasive non-native plants prevent forested areas from providing our community the full benefits and services of healthy forests by competing for water and nutrients, and in some cases even killing trees. Many undesirable plants that grow in dense thickets also harbor rats and other vermin, creating a public safety hazard as well. Once the unwelcome plants are gone, native vegetation will be planted in its place.
The Urban Forestry Restoration Project, administered by the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) Urban and Community Forestry Program, is an exciting opportunity to enhance the capacity of urban forests to manage storm water and improve air and water quality by improving the health and functionality of trees and forested sites in urban settings.
For more information about the Urban Forestry Restoration Projects, visit the Project online or contact Micki McNaughton at (360) 902-1637 or email@example.com. DNR's Urban and Community Forestry Program is made possible through a partnership with the USDA Forest Service. Puget SoundCorps is part of the broader Washington Conservation Corps program administered by Washington Dept. of Ecology. SoundCorps crews work on projects that help restore and protect water quality in Puget Sound. The Washington Conservation Corps is supported through grant funding and Education Awards provided by AmeriCorps.
After screening at film festivals and theaters across the country, award-winning documentary The Throwaways is coming to the Olympia Timberland Library for its PNW premiere.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Astros walk off on D-backs, complete two-game sweep: By The Numbers
Despite a less than stellar performance on the mound from starter Wade Miley, the Arizona Diamondbacks chipped away at a three-run deficit over the final four innings of play Thursday night against the Houston Astros.
Timely runs in the sixth and seventh inning pulled Arizona to within one before Miguel Montero went to work in the clutch.
The D-backs catcher launched a solo shot off of former Arizona reliever Chad Qualls to knot the contest at four in the top of the ninth.
Arizona was unable to complete the comeback in extras, however, as former D-back Chris Carter took matters into his own hands for the second consecutive night.
Carter, who slugged two home runs in Houston's 5-1 win Wednesday, drilled the fifth pitch he saw from Arizona right-hander J.J. Putz over the wall in left to secure a 5-4 victory in 10 innings.
With the win, the Astros swept their two-game set with the D-backs and took three of four in the interleague home-and-home series.
Here's a look back at the one-run loss by the numbers:
Another former D-back had a hand in the final outcome, as well. Reliever Tony Sipp, who spent the 2013 campaign in Arizona, pitched a perfect 10th for his first win since June 10, 2013 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
For Carter, who was dealt to Oakland in the trade that netted Arizona Dan Haren in Dec. 2007, the long ball marked his second career walk-off hit.
Joe Thatcher and Evan Marshall pitched for one impressive inning of work in the seventh. With the bases loaded and no outs, Thatcher induced a pop-up from Jonathan Singleton and Marshall was bailed out after Matt Dominguez was called out on a double-play ball for runner's interference.
Miley allowed two or more home runs for the four time in 2014. The third-year left-hander has given up a team-leading 16 long balls. Only Milwaukee's Marco Estrada (20) has served up more.
Montero's game-tying blast in the ninth was his ninth of the campaign. In 2013, he didn't record his ninth home run until July 27.
Houston loaded the bases again in the bottom of the ninth, but Ziegler survived the inning unscathed after Dominguez bounced into a 5-3 twin killing.
It was Ziegler's 12th career double play ball with the bases loaded.
With his two doubles Thursday, D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt took over the MLB lead in the category with 27. The Texas native was doubled up in the eighth, though, after George Springer made a diving stop on a sinking liner off the bat of Martin Prado.
After making the superb snag, Springer promptly threw the ball to second for the inning's final out as Goldschmidt took off toward the plate upon initial contact.
4/24 - 4/29:
Arizon failed to pick up a win in back-to-back series for the first time since April 24 - 29, 2014. During that stretch, the Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies combined to take four of six games from the D-backs.

Caroline, Thank you for this wonderful article. It hit me right in the middle of my face as I am currently going through this very thing. Life has been rough, I mean ROUGH for the past two years and I am slowly coming out of a very trying time but I believe when things have been so crazy for so long, one gets use to being in them and it becomes difficult to break free. This article was a wake up call for me. Thank you, thank you again. I will definitely re-read this one.

Definitely not 60's but similar:

Similar, free, different /a: Walkway UltraExpand by Graham Meade (GemFonts)
- definitely in the right area, thanks - that zeppelin 51's rather nice. Guess if necessary I could compress it, and then add extend the lines up/down by hand..! - cheers
It could be Venus Extended, or possibly a hand-drawn copy of it. Unfortunately, Scangraphics Venus SB Medium Extended appears to be the only digital version of Venus Extended, and your sample is a much lighter weight.

How to Create a Shark Tooth Pendant from Polymer Clay
This summer, brainstorm new jewelry making ideas and add fun elements to your designs. Learn how to create a Shark Tooth Pendant from polymer clay by Candace Jedrowicz that you'll love to show off. You don't even need a real shark tooth for this project!
Use clay to create the shape of the piece you want to display on your pendant. In this case, you can cover cover a shark's tooth in polymer clay. Using a 3" rolled-out piece of clay, wrap your piece around a skewer. Add swirls, dots and other textures to make your piece completely unique. For an antique look, add acrylic paint to your finished pendant.

Is it better to seat the parents of the bride and groom at the same reception table or at different tables?
A very good and not-often-asked question. Traditionally, the bride and groom's parents sit at the same reception table, sometimes with the officiant and his or her spouse (if they attend the reception) or with your grandparents. But some couples arrange for two parent reception tables, so that each set of parents can sit with more of their honored friends and relatives. You might also choose separate parent tables if your parents don't get along especially well, or if they've never met before and you don't want them to feel awkward (of course, depending on your parents, sitting together at your wedding might be a great introduction). If either of your parents is divorced, you'll probably want to have each parent and his or her spouse host their own table.

Looks like the deed is finally done:
Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080825/...urseasons_dc_1The Walt Disney Co. said on Monday it has sold 298 acres of land to Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts for a hotel and golf course to anchor a previously announced luxury development in Florida. Disney did not disclose the terms of the deal but said the facility would enable the company to tap into the luxury travel market. The deal was the first for the two companies.
The plans call for a 445-room Four Seasons hotel, an 18-club championship golf course, and Residence Club time shares, as well as custom single and multi-family vacation homes.
The expansion will be located on the northeast border of Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

I recently completed an assignment in my Women's Activism and Social Change class that I'd like to share with World Pulse. It was a very intimate assignment and my only direction was, respond to the word Revolution and what it means to me...
When I hear the word revolution I think of the transformation I have made over the last 9 years concerning my education and personal aspirations. My junior year of high school marked the starting point for the revolution that began inside of me. After taking a United States Women's History class I was surprised and upset to learn of all the amazing and courageous women I had never heard about that greatly contributed to my acquired status as an academic scholar. I then began asking myself the questions, "What else have I never learned about? Who else? What has public education and other various institutions kept hidden away from me?" I began to question and analyze everything I had ever been taught in school.
Two years later, as a freshman in college I took Women's Studies 101. It was from that point on that I wasn't straddling the lines of the inner war that had begun inside of me, but I decided to march full force to the front lines. I no longer wanted to stand idly by and watch marginalized groups be oppressed, degraded, and abused. I felt that once I had learned the truth about patriarchy, colonialism, sexism, and all the other numerous systems of oppression, I couldn't just ignore what I had learned. It's very true that "ignorance is bliss", but I believe more that "education is power". Being a pacifist most of my life, I felt this was one war I had to take part in and I knew very well that I would be fighting in it for the rest of my life.
Soon after enlisting in the war against patriarchy, I quickly learned and began mastering the weapon of speech. I would talk to anybody and everybody about what I was learning in school. I told my father that I finally understood why he was so angry at the government and the education system that abused him as a young boy for speaking his native language. I talked to my mother about her choice to become an elementary teacher and why she felt at 20 years old her only other career options were nursing or administrative assistant. I talked to my best friend about body image and the male gaze and we passionately discussed the unrealistic body images the media portrays and how we seldom see non-white, fat or curvy women in leading roles on movies or television. I talked with my Marine brother about the sexual violence epidemic that has spread throughout the military and the sexist bias that most men carry concerning women being on the "front lines". Finally, I started having dialogues with myself and started to recognize all the varies way I have privilege in my life and how I have contributed to this horrific war that has been going on for centuries and has claimed millions of lives in the process.
Now, just like any other war in history, there have been multiple casualties I've had to witness since I joined the fight. I've lost friendships with people who disagreed with me concerning the issues at hand. I've created distance between myself and individuals who believe indifference is a better strategy than my tactic of blatant action. I've also had to defend myself and my position numerous times against loved ones which slowly chips away at very important relationships in my life. But there also have been varies victories since I've joined the war. I've been able to meet others who are equally passionate about the cause for change and create alliances with other groups to build a stronger coalition. I've met individuals whose lives have been affected and changed for the better because of the work that is being done on their behalf. I've witnessed myself grow and change as an individual, a scholar, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and an activist.
It was because of one single incident in my life, taking an elective history class that I found my true calling. It released a passion for change that I had never known existed inside of me. One class sparked the flame inside me to join the fight for social, political, legal, and economical justice for all humankind. One class sparked the beginning of my revolution.

Keller signs with Bolts...
Submitted by SJR1709 on May 23, 2006 - 16:20
Tampa Bay Lightning
TBO.com is reporting on their website that the Lightning has signed Junior sniper Justin Keller to a standard three year rookie contract. I'm glad to see this, that the Bolts are moving quickly to get their people under contract. In my opinion signing Keller, Lascek, and resigning Richards were top priorities and I'm glad to see Jay Feaster thought along those same lines. I think the two young junior stars along with the hopefully soon signing of Blair Jones will go along way to securing the future firepower of this organization. Along with the talent the Lightning already have on their roster, these young players, and the crop of talented young defensemen the organization has in it's stable, this should be a good team for years to come.
Talks Re-Opened with Norrena and Other News

Tampa Bay Lightning
Bolt Prospects has learned the Tampa Bay Lightning has indeed re-opened talks with Finnish Olympic goaltender
Fredrik Norrena
. In fact, the two sides have been in talks since before the 2006 World Championships. Norrena and the Lightning agreed to a contract last summer, but Norrena backed out of the agreement causing Tampa to temporarily shut the door on the chances of signing the Linkoping goaltender in 2006. That door, according to GM Jay Feaster, has not been shut completely, and in fact has now been re-opened. Norrena, a 6'0", 190 pound 7th round pick of the Lightning in 2002, is coming off a 5-0, 37-save shutout vs. Sidney Crosby and Canada at the World Championships in the Bronze Medal game. Bolt Prospects has also been told the Lightning cannot confirm or comment on reports from at least two Swedish newspapers stating the Bolts are in negotitations with World Championship Gold Medal winning goaltender
Johan Holmqvist
. In addition, negotiations continue with three young prospects:
Holmqvist Rumors Persist

Johan Holmqvist
. Echoing and earlier report in Aftonbladet, Swedish newspaper Expressen [url=http://expressen.se/index.jsp?a=591449]report the Lightning is the frontrunner among three teams interested in Holmqvist's services along with Atlanta and Chicago.[/url] In addition, there are rumors out of Finland that the Lightning may have reopened discussions with goaltender
Fredrik Norrena
. Bolt Prospects is attempting to confirm. Norrena would have to be signed prior to June 1st when the Lightning are slated to lose his rights under the CBA.
Lightning Re-Sign Richards To Five Year Deal

Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning [url=http://www.tampabaylightning.com/tbl/prdetail.cfm?pressreleaseID=1345]locked up another core player today signing center
Brad Richards
to a 5 year deal with an average salary of $7.8 million dollars per season.[/url] Richards led the Lightning in scoring last season and in the 2003-2004 Stanley Cup run won both the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. The deal pre-empts any potential offer sheets that might've been advanced by other clubs to the potential restricted free agent on July 1st and helps to set the budget for the Lightning's offseason plans to acquire goaltending and blueline help.
Richard's gets his new deal...
Submitted by SJR1709 on May 22, 2006 - 10:10
Tampa Bay Lightning
So I saw that the bolts locked up Brad Richards long term this morning. It's a good deal for him obviously, I mean who wouldn't like to make 7.8 million a year. We get him here 5 more years which is a plus because he is our top player and one of the best playmakers in the game. The problem is now with his new huge deal how does the team go out now and get a decent goalie and upgrade the defense? This worries me alot and it might be a sign that a strong youth movement is in the works for the team. We'll have some good forwards but the team will be young and inexperienced in many positions, this is trouble.

A Horrible Chart to Trade for Wonderful Gains
DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- The stock market is once again under heavy selling pressure today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average off by 139 points, the S&P 500 down by 13 points and the tech-heavy Nasdaq trending lower by 32 points.
>>3 Stocks Breaking Out on Big Volume
Despite the weak action in the markets, there's one group of stocks that traders continue to come after with force. That group is what I like to call "horrible charts." These oversold, beaten-down stocks with poor-looking technicals are where all the money is being made right now as large traders chase this group looking for quick rebound moves. This is a theme and pattern in the markets that I think is going to continue to play out, since there are so many candidates for this chart pattern.
Take, for example, the run we've seen in shipping player NewLead Holdings (NEWL) over the last few days. You'll be hard-pressed to find a worse-looking chart then NEWL over the last six months. Things got so bad for this company that last Thursday it announced a 1-for-50 reverse stock split for its common shares so that the company could maintain its compliance with being listed on the Nasdaq. Shares of NEWL are soaring higher today by 80% in a tough tape -- and the stock is up much more than that when you consider that its post-split low was 39 cents per share.
>>5 Rocket Stocks Ready for Blastoff Horrible charts are in play for various reasons. In many of these names, the short-sellers have overstayed their welcome and pushed these stocks down to absurd levels. Then when the bulls start buying, the smart short-sellers are covering quickly, causing large spikes higher. In addition, many of these stocks have entered extremely oversold territory, and there isn't anyone left willing to sell these stocks down at their depressed levels. Many traders are unwilling to go near these ugly charts, but that's a foolish way to approach the markets since this theme is trending and working in a tough market where the usual sector trends aren't playing out. This game is all about finding trends and exploiting what's working right in front of you, even if it's something you have avoided in the past. I like to think of it as playing in the sandbox that everyone else on Wall Street is playing in. If nobody is in your sandbox, it's probably time to find another one.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Atlanta Wellness and Weight Loss?s team of doctors watches over patients as they slim down, ensuring safe transformations during weight loss. Their plans focus on nutrition rather than intensive exercise; shots of B12 and all-natural Vital Nutrients supplements enhance overall health, and a custom nutrition plan saves patients the hassle of interrogating frozen dinners. Their wellness services extend beyond weight loss, encompassing chiropractic adjustments and other physical therapy.
After years of performing traditional Swedish and deep-tissue massage, therapist Ron Reach became intrigued by the practice of myofascial release, eventually studying under a world-renowned master of the technique, John Barnes. He studied under Barnes for four years, learning everything from how to relieve nerves from intense pressure to which color apples Barnes preferred. Ron also learned that each muscle fiber is surrounded by fascia, a protective connective tissue that is manipulated by a trained myofascial-release specialist in order to treat stress, chronic pain, injury, and illness.
Now at his own practice, Northside Myofascial-Release, Ron applies targeted pressure to these connective tissues. This helps assuage a wide range of maladies, such as work-related stiffness, sports injuries, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and bursitis.
MNM Vitality & Wellness's team of massage therapists customizes each session to the client's needs, meaning they not only focus on specific problem areas, but also carefully choose an appropriate modality. The experts have plenty of styles to pick from. They're well-versed in the rolling, kneading, and gentle percussion of Swedish massage, but they're similarly adept with neuromuscular massage, a more holistic style meant to encourage the body to heal itself. Clients who can't get away for a massage don't need to worry, either. They can simply schedule on-location chair massages whenever they're feeling overworked at the office or stressed out from being trapped in a well.
The nationally-certified massage therapists at Rejuvenate Wholistic Wellness have trained under chiropractors and nutritionists, but they also go the extra mile for client health by maintaining CPR/AED Heartsaver certifications. Inside the wellness center, they upgrade traditional massage modalities with hot and cold stones, stretching, cupping, aromatherapy, and rain-drop therapy, which soothes bodies better than laying outside during a thunderstorm. They also pamper feet with rose-petal foot soaks and warm brown-sugar foot scrubs.
For those who wish to look as good as they feel after a treatment, Rejuvenate Wholistic Wellness hosts a boutique stocked with jewelry, custom oils and lotions, purses, and wallets.
OM SPA's founder Omar Holmes began his career as a health and fitness coach. He first became aware of massage as a way to help his clients recover from or prevent injuries, but the more he learned about it, the more interested he became. Eventually, he realized he had a passion for the technique, and enrolled at the American Academy of Reflexology to being his education. He still uses the Flocco Method of reflexology in treatments, combining treatments of the hand, foot, and ear to relax the entire body. He rounds out his techniques with modalities such as Swedish, deep tissue, and lymphatic drainage.
As a licensed aesthetician and makeup artist, Elizabeth St. John-Hall has what it takes to make skin shine. When working with clients, she typically takes a holistic approach to revamping their skin, administering the treatments and showing them the beneficial nutrition and lifestyle changes that will help them achieve their desired looks. To that end, all of her facials, peels, and body treatments can be tailored to meet specific skincare needs. Her makeup applications complete the picture.
