Associate attorney enjoying the beginning of her journey
Katy Russell, an associate attorney at Luther Anderson, apologizes for the brevity of her story. She then suggests her former boss, Jack Campbell Jr., the 94-year-old patriarch of Campbell & Campbell, would probably have more to say about his career than she does about hers. Russell, who’s 34, is right, but she’s not taking into account how the beginning of a story is just as important as the end, as it sets the tone for what’s ahead.
HeartMath and Ortho-Bionomy soothe stress, pain
Walking into Diane Richardson’s lamp lit office in the Business Development Center instantly puts one in a non-threatening atmosphere, and begins step one of helping your health.
Richardson is the founder of Relational Energetics, a company that wants to make you feel better. While the process in accomplishing this may seem like a difficult thing to envision, Richardson says the idea behind it is not. She works to provide people, in a gentle non-threatening way, relief from physical, emotional, mental and spiritual pain, and she does this through the tools of Ortho-Bionomy and HeartMath.

Women’s mentoring program continues to help develop leadership
Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes, and assisting someone who is in the same situation you have previously conquered can make a difference.

An inherently dangerous pickle
My wife, Cheryl, has an I.Q. far higher than most lawyers I know and is exceptionally creative. My well-honed lawyer logic doesn’t impress her, and some arguments just are not worth the effort.
Since Cheryl is a new bride, and because I am training to be an adequate husband, I recently decided to give her a birthday surprise and take her to her favorite American city, New Orleans. A few days before I planned to leave, however, she had a run in with some giant pickles.

Yes there will be a Tennessee State Fair this year
?I know it has been a long hot summer, but as nighttime temperatures attempt to fall somewhat and country crickets start to sing a different tune, I begin to get the urge to go to a fair and sample some cotton candy. I hope you will indulge me for a few minutes of your reading time to quote some of my past expressions.
Are we there yet?
Best from the past week
Best lunch – Jimmy’s Serious Sandwiches last Friday with Rebecca and Amber. It was my first time in the town favorite across from War Memorial. I had the “My Hero,” which is ham, smoked turkey, corned beef & Provolone cheese on a roll with lettuce, tomato & the house spread. Great sandwich and a good place to people watch as we spotted two Supreme Court Justices – Chief Justice Hannah and Justice Danielson, trying to blend in with the hungry masses.

Demystifying some mysteries
I have viewer mail from WB, who, on reading the “Did she really say that?” column a few weeks ago, politely takes issue with the notion that Atlanta is an easy one-day drive from Little Rock.
I can see his point.
Atlanta is over 500 miles away, and it takes about nine hours to drive there, if you’re easy on yourself. But, on this larger journey, on four other days, I drove well over 500 miles.
River City Roundabout
Tune inspiration
A recent Friday’s fun seeking began with visiting the rocking local music scene at Nightfall, but ended on a different note with blues, brews and lots of chicken, too.
Nightfall is something every good local knows about. It’s a free concert series held in Miller Plaza every Friday night beginning Memorial Day weekend and running through the last Friday in September. Besides being free and supporting local businesses and eateries around downtown, it introduces some fine talent in the form of local opening bands and up and coming main acts.
What’ll they dream up next?
Fridge Locker
Have you ever had a hankering for your favorite food or drink that you know is waiting for you in the refrigerator, only to discover that somebody has already beat you to it? Or worse, have you ever taken a lunch to work, to find someone rudely nabbed it from you, leaving you with nothing to eat? And what about that alcohol in your refrigerator that mysteriously disappears when your teens are at home alone? These are all situations in which the Fridge Locker would come in handy.

Parents are always telling their children to stay clean when they go outside. But on August 28, nearly 1,000 moms, dads, kids and other initially spotless participants will run, jump and belly crawl their way through more than three miles of muck as they try to complete Habitat for Humanity’s 2010 Mud Run.
Polygraph examiners target truthfulness, not nervousness, in testing
White lies are defined as “minor lies, which could be considered harmless, or even beneficial, in the long term … and are also considered to be used for greater good.”
Yet, for certified polygraph examiner Don Sosnowski, president of the American Polygraph Association and in the business for 30 years, his daily task is to sniff out a lie of any variety, and expose it for the good of the business, agency or law enforcement that requests the polygraph service.
Realtors recognizing value of green homes targeted in upcoming seminar
Building a green home is not what it was in the ’60s and ’70s, says Ethan Collier, the founder and owner of Collier Construction. These homes don’t have to look weird, be built out of tires or bales of hay and are not going to be twice as expensive as a “normal” home. If anything, they will save you money, he says.
Real Estate partners volunteer Green Team works
?It was a dirty and very hot job as Real Estate Partners Chattanooga LLC “Green Team” volunteers hit the streets on a recent Saturday morning in a “Clean Up OUR Downtown” litter pick up campaign.
Donning green vests to call attention to their cause, the 20 member volunteer crew canvassed Market and Broad Streets from the 800 block (at its offices in the historic Loveman’s Building) to the river.

Down payment solutions
One way to get the best mortgage terms is to make a down payment of at least twenty percent. That not only gets you a lower rate and monthly payment, but you’ll also avoid additional PMI (private mortgage insurance) fees, and have “instant equity” in your home.
