Como cualquier otra ciudad, Tijuana tiene su folklore y sus leyendas escalofriantes. Una de esas historias es la leyenda de La Faraona, la bailarina que ronda los terrenos de lo que solía ser el viejo Resort y Casino Agua Caliente, ahora la preparatoria Lázaro Cárdenas.

Chef Phillip Esteban shares food and culture at his restaurants and special dinner Thursday night at Artifact.

On Friday November 22, Encinitas Animal Hospital will be hosting an official Grand Opening of their new location in the Little Oaks Shopping center on North El Camino in Encinitas. The festivities will begin promptly at 5 p.m. and run through 7 p.m. The public is welcome to join Medical Director, Dr. Sandy Scott Ullman in the celebration of the undertaking which will include an open house viewing of the hospital, welcome ceremony, celebratory toast, and a serving of light hors d'oeuvres. The hospital, originally owned by notable long-time Encinitas resident Dr. Dean Crowe, opened its doors in 1981. Over the years he gained great respect and trust from his many clients who appreciated his honest, stepwise approach to veterinary medicine and the treatment of their pets. In 2015, Dean retired and took great care in choosing the doctor to carry on his practice style and to take good care of his patients. Dr. Sandy Ullman was that person. She has built her practices in that same honest, stepwise fashion, that enables her to do far more for your pet in-house, and in many cases, without the need for referral to costly specialists. In 2024, the hospital was the recipient of the coveted Ranch & Coast Magazine’s ‘Best of’ award as a veterinary clinic as well as its second consecutive Nextdoor App’s ‘Neighborhood Favorites’ award. Additionally, Dr. Ullman secured a new larger location for the hospital and began undertaking the hospital’s expansion and forward trajectory. The new location’s doors opened for business on August 12, 2024. This new state-of-the-art facility is appointed with many advanced tools for in-house diagnostics and treatments, and has recently brought Encinitas resident Dr. Paula Dvorchak on as an Associate Veterinarian. The official grand opening of the hospital’s new location is a celebration of its continued momentum; four decades in the making. As many privately owned hospitals are being acquired by corporate veterinary companies, having a privately owned hospital survive the trend, and do so effectively, is a grand success. This is attributed to the hard work of Dr. Ullman and her team in securing the trust of their clients through the practice of good veterinary medicine. This new and improved hospital facility will enable them to help improve the health and wellness of many more pets. Encinitas Animal Hospital on Facebook / Instagram

Modern science is discovering so much, yet there is still a great enigma around how thought and consciousness is created. Metaphysically, brain is the instrument through which the mind flows. Keeping the brain strong and healthy is essential for it to be an effective instrument for mind. The evening will consist of: A presentation on how to work with spiritual energy to heal and strengthen the brain You will be seated in small groups of 3 recipients per Certified Healer, each with a minimum of 5 years of metaphysical training. Specific divine light rays will be directed into your chakras to release negative energies. The divine light will then be used to uplift your consciousness wherever it is needed. The healers will then work on your nervous system to release blockages and revitalize your nerve body. Drawing on a 4,000 year mystical tradition and built on the clairvoyant experiences of Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis over five decades, these aura healing techniques have been endorsed by medical luminaries C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Richard Gerber. “Spiritual energy is the single biggest key to building and sustaining health, because it connects you to your source of health.” Barbara Martin & Dimitri Moraitis The Healing Power of Your Aura Lauri is a certified Associate Teacher and healer through Spiritual Arts Institute having studied at the Institute for over ten years.
