Letter from the Editor We’d like to welcome you to the first Texas edition of Now! Magazine.

This publication is a product of over 10 years of evolution, beginning in the Summer of 2000 with the very first test market issue in Dallas Texas.

Now! Magazine Texas is the newest edition to a family of pocket sized magazines, which have been in publication all around Texas. Now! was designed like a personal pocket book to accommodate today’s on-the-go society with its iPhones and MP3 players... where size definitely matters.

THEN & NOW! MAKEOVER featuring Darrin Davis

Exceptional Extensions

Now!’s Summer makeover candidate, Stephanie Tubbs, was looking to add length and fullness to her fine, shoulderlength dark hair. She wanted more than just the extra length most extensions provide, so Dallas-based hair-extension “guru” Darrin Davis transformed her tresses into a sexy and soft sweep with his signature extension technique.

Developed exclusively after years of training under the masters in Hollywood, New York and his native Salt Lake City, the affable stylist experimented until he created a proprietary installation method that doesn’t damage a person’s natural hair, because it attaches the extension so that it "rests" on top of the natural hair instead of weaving, braiding, gluing or bonding – all of which can damage hair. His unique approach to Stephanie’s lengthy locks (a full 22”!) is further enhanced by using the finest quality human hair available (luxurious, soft hair with a natural cuticle and wave from Russia or Italy), and with Darrin’s deft installation, her new hair will last up to a year, with maintenance appointments to tighten the extensions approximately every 3 months.

Extension hair comes in as many textures and colors as there are individuals,

so the right selection can seem daunting. Not so with Darrin; his expertise at choosing the best texture and shade to match each clients' mane leaves nothing to chance. An admitted perfectionist, Darrin’s used to hearing the words, “You would have never known! It looks like it’s your real hair!”, when people see the results. “Exactly.” Darrin smiles, “That’s the whole point."

He adds, "I love to make people feel good about themselves. It’s crazy how adding length or thickness can transform a woman’s self esteem. People can now flip the hair they never had before!” Just don’t flip out at the cost, however…a new mane can set you back anywhere from $800-$3500, depending on the hair used, and takes about 4-5 hours to install.

Stephanie‘s makeup was done by Ashley Salazar, using a bright palette of pop color to add a little glam and a whole lot of sophistication to Stephanie’s formerly bare face.

Ready to go long and lush with a look like Stephanie’s? Call Darrin Davis Productions at the Neinast Salon, 214-850-8578 for an appointment.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Sushi Axiom

Sushi Axiom is located on the ever growing and ever popular Henderson stretch. This Dallas location is Sushi Axiom’s it’s second location in the DFW metroplex in the new Shops on Henderson and has a rather inviting covered patio with a relaxing waterfall.

Once you enter it is like you’ve entered a new ultra hip dimension of Japanese Fusion. The décor combines a variety of textures masterfully using light and dark wood, red leather and dark tiling to create a sophisticated and trendy atmosphere. There are little decorating touches all over the restaurant that can be appreciated from the unique blowfish hanging in between the glass of the private dining room to the ultra Zen bathrooms.

Boasting the only flowing Kirin beer tap in Texas, plus 17 specialty martinis like their signature the Martini Axiom, a sweet mix of pomegranate vodka and liqueur, Cointreau, pineapple juice and Champagne---it would make sense their bar area would be so large it clearly knows how to draw a crowd. They also offer a sake sampler boasting an impressive selection of hot and cold sakes, including the ginjo and junmai.

Size does matter at this trendy Japanese Fusion spot which would explain the 52 Now

size of their sushi bar. Sushi Axiom has quickly made a name for itself by offering fantastic sushi. Sushi Axiom’s extensive menu of award winning sushi and sashimi is all skillfully crafted with the freshest ingredients and offers some of the more rare species like the Japanese red snapper or Aji, a salt-licked Japanese horse mackerel, is served whole and deep-fried. The signature Axiom roll is a beautiful rainbow of color made with fresh salmon, crab and avocado surrounded by soy wrap and topped with tuna wasabi cream.

Edamame is a predictable starter, but their delicious, thinly sliced pieces of fried fish called flounder chips or their sweet and salty axiom wings better illustrate the restaurant's fusion bent. Their kitchen

menu continues down the fusion road offering a twist on many Japanese and other Asian favorites. Sushi Axiom takes traditional fried rice up a notch with their Hawaiian fried rice, made with pineapple and seafood and served in a hallowed out pineapple. The dancing rib eye is a delightful dish made with juicy cuts of beef tossed in a blend of Asian spices served with rice and vegetables.

Not forgetting about dessert Sushi Axiom offers a variety of unique gelato’s they have created just for them. A popular combination is the wasabi and raspberry a delightful blend of sweet and a small touch of heat that surprisingly creates a refreshing and delightful taste.

the Mercantile Place A Dallas Icon is Reborn 64 Now!

Mercantile Place on Main is more than a place to live. It's a place where history and the future converge to create a new landmark for Downtown Dallas. The Merc, a 31-story luxury residential tower, was formerly the renowned Mercantile National Bank Building, while its smaller sister The Element is a brand-new 15-story mid-century modern-styled residential tower that was inspired by renowned modernist architect Joseph Eichler.

Mercantile Place on Main is redefining modern upscale residential living in the Downtown Dallas district.

The Merc Completed in 1942, The Merc was Dallas' only major skyscraper constructed during World War II - the tallest building in the US west of the Mississippi. To this day, The Merc's clock and spire are treasured icons in the Dallas skyline.

The construction of the Mercantile Tower created a monumental landmark to Dallas with an enduring legacy. Completed in 1942, the 523-foot Mercantile Tower was the home of Mercantile National Bank, founded and owned by Dallas powerhouse banker and civic leader, Robert L. Thornton. At the time of construction, the wooden Art Deco murals decorating the lobby were the largest in the world. In 1958, a new tower was erected and still remains crowned by an ornamental four-sided clock tower and decorative weather spire that told the time and current weather conditions.

FEATURED ARTIST

Leanne Venier is an international award-winning artist, finalist in the prestigious Hunting Art Prize, and Best of Texas artist. She paints in her East Austin studio and sells her work in the Leanne Venier Gallery in central Austin and a premier gallery in Dallas. Her paintings hang in public installations around the world and she has an impressive list of renowned private and corporate collectors. Leanne's work has been profiled numerous times in US and international magazines and she has been interviewed on NPR radio and NBC-TV. 78 Now!

Leanne Venier Co lo r Co n n o isseu r

NOW!: How did you go from being a mechanical engineer, designing submarines, to being a full time artist?

are responding to the depth in the paintings from the numerous layers of color.

My Eastern medicine studies and subsequent research shows that we humans have strong responses to different colors when we need those specific color energies. Modern scientific research supports this and shows that colors are literally healing to our bodies and souls. I teach about the healing effects of color & light frequencies at major medical centers.

Leanne: Well, I've always been both very artistic and creative and also excelled in math and science. I originally went the conventional engineering route, but found I wasn't happy doing that, so I moved to Florence, Italy for 7 years where I got to further explore my creative and passionate side.

NOW!: So then you came back to the states and became a full-time artist?

Leanne: No actually, first I followed my passion for holistic healing which I had been studying extensively while living in Italy. I went back to school for acupuncture and shiatsu and had a healing practice working with cancer patients, using color-based healing methods. After awhile, my intuition told me I needed to channel that healing energy into something that would reach a broader audience; I started painting, and my work started selling immediately.

NOW!: Where can people learn more about this and purchase or view your work?

Leanne: There is much more information on my website and collectors are invited to schedule private showings in my Austin gallery.

Please visit www.leannevenier.com.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Blue Lapis Light Blue Lapis Light is a site-specific aerial dance company founded by Artistic Director Sally Jacques in 2005. Jacques’ earlier works encompassed social, political, and spiritual themes, and these performances have evolved to explore movement through the air: extending boundaries, defying edges, and suspending graceful athleticism for the risk of igniting ephemeral beauty.

Blue Lapis Light seeks to transform urban environments into inspired works of art, creating beauty that transcends space in their expansiveness, connecting us to a sense of wonder, possibility, and hope. The company’s name draws from Ghandi’s description of a meditation practice, wherein the soul merges with Eternal consciousness taking the form of blue light.

Blue Lapis’ works are mostly largescale productions, taking place in nontraditional public environments: warehouses, abandoned structures, federal buildings, power plants, or scaffolding at the shores of Lady Bird Lake. The company’s first aerial rig was a rope strung across an abandoned swimming pool 86

where a dancer in a net was pulled from one side to the other. With each work, dancers now explore new apparatuses and develop aerial vocabulary complimentary to the possibility and synergy of on-site collaboration.

In June 2006 the company transformed the iconic Intel Shell, an unfinished building in downtown Austin, by creating a tribute to life’s transcendence. Requiem featured dancers floating 75ft from the ground, moving in and out of concrete columns and dancing on guy wire salvaged from the building itself. Over 14,000 people attended these performances.

Blue Lapis Light continues to develop large productions on prominent public architecture. Sites include the historic Seaholm Power Plant, J.J. Pickle and Homer Thornberry Federal Buildings, Hyatt and Radisson hotels, Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and the Long Center for the Performing Arts.

With a hope and prayer for transformation, the company seeks to create works of beauty that continue to touch our collective awareness.

BAND REVIEW

Vallejo is back with their first new album in four years entitled Brothers Brew (VMG).

Featuring the first single & video for the midtempo groover “Waiting On You”, bombastic opening track “Free” and album closer “Nothing To Lose” – Vallejo’s new CD Brothers Brew proves that the rhythm is undeniably still in the blood. A melting pot of infectious swaggering rock laced with Latin percussion and fiery live performances has made VALLEJO one of the most popular bands to hail from Austin, Texas.

A great rock band is made from the passion and willingness to exploit one’s own emotional turmoil, the trials and tribulations encountered

Vallejo in life, and the curiosity of what the future may hold. These are all qualities displayed in the raw and honest musical performance of Austinbased rockers — Vallejo.

Raised in the small town of El Campo, Texas on their parent’s LP collection of Tito Puente, Santana & Tijuana Brass, VALLEJO was first formed by the three Vallejo brothers A.J. (Vocals, Guitar), Alejandro (Drums), and Omar (Bass). Learning music by playing trumpet in the high school marching band and jamming to friend’s mixtapes of classic rock and funk, the brothers eventually migrated to picking up the guitar, bass and drums to create something 92 Now!

that was instantly recognizable on the airwaves as their own.

Since then, VALLEJO has racked up fans one by one with thousands of high energy shows and a growing catalog of album releases including Sins (Chapel Lane), Shining Sun, Beautiful Life (TVT Records), Into the New (Epic Records) with famed Latin music producer Emilio Estefan Jr. (Miami Sound Machine), Stereo, Leftovers, Steamboat Live & Black Sky on the Vallejo brother’s own label VMG (Vallejo Music Group). In 2009, VALLEJO released their critically acclaimed album, Thicker Than Water (VMG/Quadra) and recently took home the award for “Best Rock Band” at the Texas Latin Music Awards.

VALLEJO has toured extensively throughout the United States and Mexico sharing the stage with bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Fuel, 3 Doors Down, Juanes, Molotov, Black Crowes, The Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20, Shinedown & Los Lobos. The band has also had their songs

featured in several TV shows such as HBO’s True Blood, ABC’s The Unusuals, WB’s Roswell, MTV’s Road Rules and UPN’s America’s Next Top Model.

In 2012, VALLEJO is back with their first new album in four years entitled Brothers Brew and set to be released on Tuesday, August 21st.

Written, recorded & produced by the Vallejo brothers, the CD will feature ten new songs recorded at VMG Studios in South Austin, Texas. Featuring the first single & video for the mid-tempo groover “Waiting On You”, bombastic opening track “Free” and album closer “Nothing To Lose” – Vallejo’s new CD Brothers Brew proves that for this band of brothers – the rhythm is undeniably still in the blood.

CLUB REVIEW

The Belmont

Stylish and inviting to all, the new Belmont combines the best of Austin for an experience unlike any other. Its recent renovation has opened up the west Sixth Street club and added a bright energy to the former cocktail lounge. Other improvements include an expanded stage and a state-of-the art sound and light system that makes music from touring live and local bands and DJs a centerpiece of The Belmont’s nightlife scene.

With design touches inspired by successful clubs in New York City and Miami’s design district, The Belmont showcases photos, paintings, sculptures

and other art pieces, and it will soon become a large-scale canvas for seasonally-featured Austin artists who will have the entire club available to showcase their work, with the express directive that the artists be given “no limits” in their approach.

In a nod to Austin’s thriving food scene, local food trucks will do weeklong residencies at The Belmont to offer customers an evolving selection of late-night food options. With the completion of a planned kitchen space, food truck staff will be able to take up residence inside the club and expand their offerings.

106 Now!

A lot about The Belmont has changed and will continue to change, from its look to its food to its sounds. The constant for the invigorated club is that it will deliver an unbeatable social experience by merging the best of what makes Austin great. Call or email to reserve your event today.

GM: Raul Garcia raul@thebelmontaustin.com Phone: (512) 476.2100 Please direct all EVENT inquiries to events@thebelmontaustin.com Join us July 25th at The Belmont for the Now! Magazine Launch Party starting at 8pm. —G.B. Martin

DJ INTERVIEW

DJToddyB Currently my main focus is on my own local DJ gigs and my label Slow Motion Music. I have been heavily involved in the electronic dance music scene for the past 13 years. I have four monthly parties, every second Saturday at Terrace 59, third Friday at Hudson, and the last Saturday of every month at Phoenix. Every party is a smash, and I look forward to every weekend I get to play in Austin. I also showcase headliner DJs from all over the world, and I am part of Hypersonic Radio on 101X that airs every Saturday night from 10pm-12am with Jason Jenkins.

I cherish being able to bring people together for one common thing, music. Being able to influence a crowd by the music you play and make people dance and express themselves however they want to is an amazing thing. I love being able to turn people onto a new sound, artist, or track. I love to

dance, so I have plenty of time to do that while DJing.

Future plans: Keep the Austin electronic dance music scene thriving by bringing international talent into Austin. I do take gigs outside of Austin; however, my friends, fans, and family are all right here, so I am completely fine with doing what I’m doing in the best city in the world. One thing that I would like to do in the future is to begin producing my own music.

I love going out and seeing my family, friends, bartenders, managers, door guys, drinking pals, music pals, owners, and everyone that comes with the nightlife scene. I am a people person and love barhopping as well as going to see a great DJ in an amazing club with brilliant sound and lights and leaving worn out from dancing! —GB Martin

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Stuffed Pepper

Max's Wine Dive Bar & Restaurant Prepare to MAX out your taste buds with the award-winning and nationallyrecognized MAX’s Wine Dive. Unlike anything else in the city, MAX’s features an exciting combination of gourmet comfort food and 150 extraordinary wines from around the world, served in a decidedly unpretentious but chic “dive bar”

atmosphere. This juxtaposition will make MAX’s a completely unique dining experience for residents and visitors alike.

“MAX’s provides diners and wine lovers with an original wine and food experience that is different from any other concept in San Antonio,” says Founder, Jerry Lasco. “As Texans who are expanding our

114 Now!

family-owned business, we are thrilled to open in San Antonio, and we can’t wait to get involved and contribute to our local community.”

Their mantra, “Fried Chicken and Champagne…? Why the Hell Not?!?” “perfectly” defines what MAX’s Wine Dive is all about: everyone’s favorite comfort foods, elevated to gourmet status, paired with the finest wines available and served until the wee hours of the morning in an industrial but comfortable “hang out.” Here, the humble hamburger is transformed into a classic, using Texas Kobe beef topped with triple-cream brie and freshly pickled jalapenos. The all-beef frank becomes a “Texas Haute Dog” when it’s dressed up in an artisan bun and topped with Texas Beer Sauerkraut or Venison Chili. Another classic, MAX ‘n Cheese, is constructed with Cavatappi pasta, truffle cream, and a

Fried Chicken Mozzarella, Gruyere and Grana Padano cheese blend… this certainly isn’t your parents’ macaroni and cheese! And of course there is the Fried Chicken, which was recently named by Travel + Leisure as “one of the best fried chickens in the country”.

The menu is divided up into two sides or what Max’s refers to as the “Left Brain” vs. the “Right Brain”. On the left hand side of the menu, you will find Max’s Classics, the tried and true menu items that rarely change. On the right side of the menu, you will find the “Chef’s Selections” – dishes influenced by the seasons, the freshest locally.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

FEATURED ARTIST

James McKinnis

I resigned from a government career in 1975 and the next year chose to follow a twin dream of writing and photography.

I apprenticed with my brother-in-law who was a professional photographer.

By chance, I was drawn to an obscure area of photography, coloring black and white photographs by hand, which many even in the field considered no longer relevant. I began to experiment not only with the traditional style, but creatively adapting the process to create a variety of artistic interpretations. Over the years, I have not only created art works of the

courthouses, but the Bolshoi Ballet, the official 1989 Dallas Cheerleader’s poster, Willie Nelson and Nolan Ryan among others! I do all the work by hand, shooting the images, processing the film in the darkroom, printing the images and finally painting the final photographic works.

By the mid-1980’s I brought my contemporary adaptations of the medium to the attention of companies and art directors — gaining my first national recognition. Early examples of the techniques, as well as information teaching those techniques appeared in my first 140 Now!

book Handcoloring Photographs, and eight years later I described and illustrated my hand-painting techniques in Photopainting, my second commissioned book on coloring black and white photographs by hand. I am considered a leading authority in this field.

Well into my second decade in professional photography, I found myself celebrating my lifelong love of sports in an entirely unexpected way, through combining the photo process with painting. I also thought it quite ironic that I had never turned my camera to sports in a professional way before, always thinking that only the sports journalists could take the pictures. Then I discovered I had the skills which combined with my passions produced a new art style people enjoyed seeing‌and buying. —G.B. Martin

Pork Chops anyone? If you like them, you will think you’ve died and gone to heaven when you taste these incredible chops served sizzling, table side at the new Perry’s Steakhouse at La Cantera. In fact, you may think you’ve died and gone to heaven just from taking a peak at this truly Gargantuan sight.

Accompanied with a small but delicious and sufficient serving of homemade apple sauce, (which is to be used at your leisure but preferably with the loin portion of the chop). Executive Chef Sisto Perez explains this dish in detail as he

carves it for me and Editor Gregory Martin.

Unless you grew up in a butcher shop, forget everything you think you’ve ever learned or known about pork chops before. This one is a meal in itself. It is tall and it is impressive both in size and flavor. Comprised of four separate parts, there is the Eye, the Rib and the Loin, and the “Eyelash.” Have you ever heard of the “Eyelash”?

The word itself, associated with food may not sound so appealing at first but let me tell you; taking a bite of the Eye and the Eyelash together is 162 Now!

Nutty D’Angelo

herbes de Provence topped with crab meat.

We tasted this dish with the Private Label “Perry’s Chardonnay” which was clean, crisp, refreshing with a good presence of min‑erality. Corporate Sommelier Susi Zivanovic explained that this wine is aged for two month on the lees in small French oak barrels, to add texture on the mid-palate. Citrus, pear, green apple and fresh cut green grass were all present on the finish and it was a pleasant partner for the entry dish.

After the gigantic chops, along came the Chateaubriand. Just like the chop, the Chateaubriand is prepared table-side and sizzling. The center-cut filet mignon is a choice cut of meat with desirable high-marbling and perfectly cooked (very hot and seared

simply divine. Topped with a touch of garlic blue cheese butter, the presentation is flawless and the overall tenderness and flavors are incredible. The meat is band-saw cut on premises and placed immediately in a “Vault Smoker” for hours on end. Per Chateaubriand the Chef’s suggestion, we dutifully followed the prescribed order of eating, starting with the Eye and Eyelash (ingested mostly sans-applesauce for me); followed by the delectable ribs and finally the loin which understandably was not as juicy as the other parts. Next time though, I think I might eat the Loin first and finish with the Eye. So impressed was I with the Pork Chop that I jumped ahead and quickly), to lock in all the natural juices. It failed to mention another signature dish: is served with three delectable sauces. A The fried asparagus appetizer. Here we have creamy Béarnaise (my favorite). A savory a copious serving of fresh asparagus, lightly Peppercorn (my favorite) and a Chocolate breaded and served with clarified melted Merlot Sauce (definitely my favorite, espebutter (for an added nutty flavor); with cially with an added touch of truffle olive oil).

AUTO REVIEW

2014 Fiat 500 Abarth

For all the reborn 500’s success elsewhere—Fiat says more than 500,000 have been sold worldwide— and for all the anticipation preceding its 2011 arrival in U.S. showrooms, we hold this truth to be self-evident: The 500 Abarth is the Cinquecento we’ve really been waiting for.

We’re happy to say the 500 Abarth picks up the pace substantially, tempering the car’s cuteness quotient with a measure of mean and adding track-day agility to its dynamic résumé.

FIAT 500 ABARTH INTERIOR The Fiat 500 Abarth with Cruise control, audio, and Fiat’s Blue&Me hands-free communication buttons are mounted on the wheel, while LED shift lights illuminate during gear changes on an analog turbo-boost gauge unique to the Abarth. Should buyers opt for TomTom navigation, there will be a 4.3-inch touch-screen display. Race-inspired features for the interior include aluminum foot pedals with black rubber trim, and a black leather-wrapped shift knob accented with red stitching. Front seats feature a one-piece design with large side bolsters and a racingharness pass-through, and rear passengers will enjoy raised seats bolstered for added back support.

Test Drive Video FIAT 500 ABARTH ENGINE The new Fiat 500 Abarth, pictured here in U.S. trim for the first time, arrives as a 2012 model and with it will come a turbocharged 1.4liter four-cylinder engine with MultiAir technology and standard sixspeed manual. Chrysler hasn’t announced power levels for its new 500 Abarth but expect something similar to the 135 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque offered in its European equivalent.

The Esseesse is a rorty, rip-roaring car to drive that sacrifices some refinement for performance.

The power of 157bhp and 170lb ft of torque are enough to propel the tiny speedster to 62mph in 7.4 seconds and onto a top speed of 131mph, usefully quicker than the standard Abarth if thrashed.

Drilled brake discs, even stiffer springs, and 17” alloy wheels as standard beef up the chassis, even if the lower-profile tyres do little for the car’s ride. The turn-in is “instant” and body roll “is almost non-existent”.

The fuel consumption is the same as the standard Abarth’s. The official consumption figure is 42.8mpg, although most owners will struggle to get this, as they’ll be flexing the engine too much; around 35mpg is a more realistic figure.

You can test drive this incredible car for yourself at FIAT of Austin.

HERB KELLEHER

The Maverick Who Changed the Industry 182 Now!

Herb Kelleher is a Founder of Southwest Airlines and served as Executive Chairman from March 1978 to May 2008 and as President and CEO from September 1981 through June 2001.

Herb Kelleher is also the maverick who virtually singlehandedly transformed the airline industry. Although he moved to Texas intending to start a law firm, Kelleher and one of his law clients, Texas businessman Rollin King, created the concept that later became Southwest Airlines on a cocktail napkin in a San Antonio restaurant.

Kelleher did not create just another airline, he dared to be different in his concept, and was not welcomed in the corporate culture of the era, no more than other mavericks who challenge the status quo are embraced with open arms. Southwest Airlines had to overcome a year’s worth of legal challenges from competitors who sought to keep it grounded. When finally winning in court, Southwest commenced service with three airplanes in 1971. By May of 2008, when Kelleher stepped down as Executive Chairman, Southwest operated a fleet of more than 527 airplanes and performed more than 3,400 flights per day.

Southwest succeeded by daring to be different: offering low fares to its passengers by eliminating first and economy classes, early seat-selection, unnecessary services such as in-flight meals and most importantly avoiding the “hub-and-spoke” major airport scheduling system used by other airlines in

favor of building traffic in such secondary airports as Albany, Dallas Love Field (instead of DFW) and Orange County rather than LAX. The “bottom line” reveals that Kelleher’s Company has been profitable for 38 consecutive years; has never furloughed an Employee, today carries the most originating domestic passengers of any U.S. airline and during its first thirty years, produced the highest return to shareholders of any company included in the S&P 500 during that 30-year period: $10,000 invested in Southwest in 1972 was worth $10,200,000 in 2002 (an average increase of 25.99% per year). One can go on and on about the airline’s successes, but on a personal note it went beyond that. The airline revealed a corporate image of individuals who never took themselves too seriously while at the same time being at the height of their profession. Their safety record is unequaled by any other American airline. For the 13th year in a row, FORTUNE magazine recognized Southwest Airlines in its 2009 annual survey of corporate reputations. Southwest Airlines is the only airline to make Fortune’s top 10 list of the World’s Most Admired Companies.

Listing Herb Kelleher’s awards takes pages and offers further testimony as to the confidence that the American Dream still lives, and that one can challenge conventional wisdom with creativity, hard work, confidence and the belief in one’s self! We proudly salute Herb Kelleher as our first Texas Maverick!

A New Golf Strategy The word is out. Active Released Techniques has contracted with the PGA and LPGA to take care of their professional golfers.

Many pro golfers passing through the metroplex such as Michelle Wei, Paul Stankowski, Harrison Frazar, and many more have sought out Dallas’ Active Release Technique (ART) specialists to fix their swing injuries. But that is really kind of old news. Now most amateurs seek or are exposed to Active Release Technique, for their swing injuries. That’s old news too. The overwhelming majority of amateurs who seek ART are doing so as a preventive treatment. Now that's news!

“Active Release Technique Restores Healing Properties” - the edge is in your head.

For more than two decades top level athletes have turned to Active Release Technique (ART) to treat and heal acute and chronic soft tissue injuries. These injuries share a common element - they are the results of Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). Muscular overuse is another way these injuries are incurred. The principles of Active Release Technique are all based upon the restoration of blood flow, which in turn restores oxygen to hypoxic tissues. These hypoxic (oxygenstarved) tissues are the result of tiny tears that derange soft tissue. Palpable changes are detectable in these tissues in the form 184 Now!

Just As You Are What You Eat —You Are What You See & Hear

Our senses are bombarded daily with information from many media sources. We can’t always choose what we are exposed to, but most of the time we can. What you allow yourself to view, read, and listen to are very important choices, which, should be chosen wisely. We sometimes give little thought to the music we listen to and the television programs and films we watch.

Our minds are very absorbent and tend to cling to things that we see and hear. Even if you aren’t paying attention to something on the television or the radio, your sub-

conscious mind always is. Our brains never stop working; they pick up everything and keep it in our subconscious. Scientists have learned that our subconscious stores everything we come into contact with; it controls much of what we do and how we feel and act, and it contains the knowledge and thoughts that drive us to do what we do and feel how we feel. That’s why, in our spare time, what we allow ourselves to view, read, and listen to are very important selections and should be chosen wisely.
