ARLINGTON, VA., March 28, 2016 – Chef Jonathan Till, a native Hawaiian, grew up cooking and baking with his Tutu (grandmother in Hawaiian) from the moment he could reach the kitchen counter. This 3rd generation recipe has been a favorite of his since childhood. Preserving this family recipe has allowed Chef Till to remember the importance of sharing food, whether it’s a holiday or a simple occasion we want to make special. Please enjoy this recipe, from Chef Till and William Jeffrey’s.

“Love it!” Wrote Robyn Davis of Mom the Magnificent. “Ouli is the perfect match maker when it comes to planning our date nights! I love that it gets to know our preferences and I love the Ouli exclusive deals!”

The more a user interacts with the app, the more Ouli hones in on what interests them. This type of personalization is valuable to merchants as well, since their offers are only presented to those likely to act on them.


“I’ve heard this one before,” says Dr. Crissy Markova of VCO Orthodontics. There has been a huge trend in orthodontics over the past 10 years as the number of adult patients seeking orthodontic services has tripled. More and more, I have patients that were not able to receive braces as children or whose teeth have shifted over the years – they want a beautiful smile but want to maintain a professional appearance in the process!

Adult orthodontics is different from the traditional teen orthodontics since many more factors have to be considered for the overall long-term health of the teeth and jaw joints. At VCO Orthodontics, we have an entire suite dedicated to our adult patients to make them feel as comfortable as possible.


Arlington, VA — At Virginia Center for Orthodontics, Dr. Crissy Markova says, “We are always eager to give back to the local community.” Most recently, the practice donated photo booths to raise money for the Arlington Public School’s Silent Auctions. These auctions benefit the local schools and have raised over $100,000. “We love what we do” says Dr. Crissy Markova, and it shows! They’ve hosted many events, from Red Carpet to Casino Nights.

You can regularly find Dr. Markova and her team at VCO Orthodontics supporting patients at Arlington Soccer Association games, sponsoring Arlington Little League, teaching at Career Days and Science Fairs. You’ll always see their smiling faces around Arlington.


After two weekends of sold-out performances, tickets remain for the final weekend shows on March 11, 12 and 13. Ticket prices are $20 for general admission, $15 for seniors and students. Tickets are available online at:  http://chalicetheatresouthpacific.eventbrite.com
