Desiree Flerchinger

Desiree Flerchinger flashes a Miami-ready look as she wanders through Art on the Ave. Where’d it come from? “ROSS, baby!” — she later amended her announcement, “Well, ROSS, Costco, and the Bon.” That accounts for the skirt, shirt and shoes, while her undershirt was a hand-me-down from her mom.

Harmon Brewery’s Hagrid’s Hog Head Ale

We’ve all had those days when we just really want — and borderline physically need — a beer. This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s been a bad day — although the beer-wanting feeling is very common after a day when your fellow students and/or Hogwarts Headmasters make you want to

Let me give YOU advice

I have decided to dabble with a subject near to my heart: the unusual number of people who feel free to offer unsolicited advice to restaurant owners. For some weird reason, other trades don’t seem to get the well-meaning, know-it-alls we do. Think about it. Have you ever walked up

Tacoma Musical Playhouse is staging one of the most expensive gambles in the theater’s history. Everything about producing Disney’s stage version of “Beauty and the Beast” comes at a price.

This week I’m going to draw your attention away from just one establishment so you can have a look-see at the bigger picture. There’s a new Scene of the Crime that’s been emerging ever since I became a loyal Tacoma socialite, and it’s now requiring me to switch gears because this

Tree trauma before Ramtha

She goes by the name “Tree” and her story unfolds on the Enlighten Me Free site (www.enlightenmefree.com), arguably the first to publicly criticize the Royal School of Enlightenment. It’s apparent that she is a strong, independent-minded, intelligent woman who has gone through some brutally trying times. She was drawn to Yelm

Wonderful weave

I love the title of Laura Sharp-Wilson’s show at The Black Front Gallery: “You Are in the Weave Whether You Like It or Not.” That title fits beautifully with the look of Sharp-Wilson’s paintings — or the look of her paintings as seen in reproduction on the gallery Web site

Physiology training combats human factors of flying

SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- One of the secrets behind nearly 75 years of U.S. air dominance is the quality of its pilot training. But long before students learn to identify, out-maneuver and defeat enemy aircraft, they have to learn to deal with a much more
