The Plaza Theatre has officially announced the nineteenth season of shows at the Plaza Theatre and we want to invite you to be experience it all. Season brochures will be making their ways into your mailboxes within the next few weeks, but you don’t have to wait a single minute longer!

Don’t be overwhelmed by the million steps needed to remodel your kitchen or bathroom...just call the Kitchen & Bath Showroom. Mark says, “We offer design services with a licensed designer, or we can work with your design. We can replace a single element or create an entire kitchen or bath for you from the ground up...with tile, cabinets, countertops, appliances, and more!” Mike adds, “Our clients love knowing up front how much something will cost and love having us coordinate all the details.”

Board-certified Vascular Surgeon Dr. Ulises Baltazar says, “Venous ulcers affect 500,000 to 600,000 people in the United States every year and account for 80 to 90 percent of all leg ulcers. Anyone in a profession with lots of time standing or long hours sitting in one place (nurses like Elizabeth, teachers, police, desk workers) can be prone to varicose veins, but age, family history, obesity, and other factors play a part. Varicose veins aren’t just a cosmetic issue, they’re a vascular health issue...and can lead to venous diseases like deep venous thrombosis and venous stasis ulcers.

State law bans health insurance from requiring prior authorization for emergency services...because how could you know in advance that an emergency was about to happen? In addition, state law absolutely requires patients to be reimbursed for emergency room visits by their insurance carrier at the same rate, regardless of whether they are treated at “in-network” or “out-of-network” facilities. If your insurance company refuses payment for your emergency room visit, you can file a grievance with the Texas Department of Insurance. Patients have told us that St. Michael’s does an amazing job of going to bat with insurance companies to defend your rights.

Get the friendly personal service you’d have from a single housekeeper from a team of professional maids who love facing down killer dust bunnies and getting your home a serious sparkle. Co-owner Sal Lucatero will personally make the initial visit and answer all your questions. He says, “All of our maids are bonded and insured, receive the highest training and only use top-quality products. They’ll show up in professional uniforms, in a company car, and with smiles that show they love what they do. We stand behind our sparkle!”

If you can’t see the world clearly, you may feel there’s a barrier between you and the faces of your friends, the words on signs, and world around you. Dr. Anh Doan of Missouri City’s Vision Source says, “As adults, we notice difficulty reading, but kids don’t know the world looks blurry...because they’ve never seen it any other way. Even older kids with a prescription may not notice that their eyes have changed over the summer. Don’t wait for your child to have difficulty at school...come in for an annual eye exam and start the year strong!”

When you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work! That’s a philosophy Tanny and Caron share. Tanny’s been playing music since he was only four years old. He’s performed Classical Music with Van Cliburn, as well as performing with Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, and Gladys Knight, but he also loves his work in environmental analysis...consulting, creating texts and teaching materials, and helping clients from Texas (including Sienna Plantation) to Mexico to Afghanistan. He says, “Grand Windows and Interiors makes it fun and easy for Johnnie and I to design a home that expresses everything we love!” Johnnie adds, “Enjoying time together in our home is a definite perk...worth all the work we put into it!”

Richard Machemehl and Scott Crain, co-owners of Home Theater Evolutions, are as excited about the leading edge technology of Control4 Home Automation as only diehard electronics enthusiasts can be. They started doing in-home electronics installations in 2003--initially working not out of a van, but just a four-door Saturn. “We’ve been electronics geeks since we were kids,” Scott explains. “But nothing prepared us for the array of possibilities available to homeowners now, at just the touch of a button. By integrating everything from lighting, music, climate and security to your iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone or tablet, you control everything, all the time, even remotely.”

“Our new high efficiency air conditioner was the best quality for the best price I saw anywhere. It’s much quieter and much more efficient than our old unit was. Not only that, but I seriously appreciated their offer of 24 months financing same as cash. When you’re paying for an entire air conditioning system, it’s nice to know you don’t have to drain your savings account. I feel great about the whole experience!”

Nothing in life prepares you for the overwhelming love, tenderness, and protective concern you have for your child. Their smiles are a song in your heart, and their hardships keep you up at night, sleepless with worry. So when parental instinct tells you that your child may not be hitting all of his or her communication milestones, the time to seek a professional opinion is now. Right now.
