Downtown Seattle, Washington's Fairmont Olympic Hotel opened in 1924 and has been wowing guests ever since. This recently renovated hotel has the highest in luxury standards and represents all the sophistication of a world class stay, and has also been given the distinction of being a green, sustainable property.
Originally known as The Olympic Hotel, the building is located on the grounds of what was once the first campus of the University of Washington. An opening night banquet was hosted on December 6, 1924, inviting more than 2,000 Seattle residents and their guests. Hundreds more lined the streets to view the hotel and the lavish affair. The event became a major part of Seattle's, and subsequently the West Coast's, history and set the standard for such affairs. Prior to that night, large luxurious festivities were only held in large cities on the East Coast of the United States. Since its opening night, the Fairmont Olympic has maintained that same degree of elegance, opulence, and civic pride. Locals can attest to the lifelong memories made from senior proms, debutante balls, engagement parties, and wedding receptions held at this historic hotel. All these years later, it is still the center of social life in Seattle.
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel was fully restored in the 1980s. In 2003, it was acquired by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, assuming the name it has now, Fairmont Olympic Hotel, and completed renovations in 2005. Fairmont published a book titled, "The Olympic: The Story of Seattle's Landmark Hotel", to mark the establishing event. Most recently, a $25 million guestroom renovation was finalized in July 2016. Containing 450 guestrooms, including 216 suites, it has retained its original Italian renaissance architectural design.
The Fairmont Olympic's many amenities only add to its charm. Each guestroom features luxury toiletries by Le Labo, luxurious bathrobes, down comforters, blackout curtains, a minibar, and premium television channels. Room service is available 24 hours, and in-room childcare is convenient for traveling families. Guests are able to request mini refrigerators, hypo-allergenic bedding, and extra beds if necessary. The 3,000 square foot spa, Penelope & The Beauty Bar, offers full body spa treatments like scrubs, massages, and wraps, as well as hair and makeup services. Four eateries are on-site and cater to any palate, whether a guest is seeking fresh local seafood, an English-style afternoon tea, handmade craft cocktails, or a simple authentic Seattle espresso. There are even retail establishments available, from a UPS to a luxury jewelers.
Locally, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel is in close proximity to the hottest spots in the city. This pet-friendly hotel is legendary for all it has to offer on its premises, but a venture just outside finds the bustle of an exciting, fast-paced city life. Visitors can ski and snowboard in the northwest mountains, take in a professional football or baseball game, or watch the fish throwers at Pike Place Fish Company. The Pacific Northwest is ripe for whale watching, hiking, biking, seaplane tours, and boating. Others may choose to indulge in the local art scene, with a visit to the Museum of History and Industry, the Experience Music Project, or the Museum of Flight. After a day out on the sea, the mountain, or in a museum, visitors can satiate their appetites with a visit to several fine dining establishments or more casual eateries.
The Fairmont Olympic Hotel has it all - a great location, a storied history, luxury accommodations, and exceptional service. Guests may be away from home, but never far from the experience of a lifetime at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel.
Fairmont Olympic Hotel, a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2018, dates back to 1924.


A little girl named Carol Anne became famous for saying "They're h-e-r-e" in the 1982 movie Poltergeist.
She was talking about the "TV people," and they ended up being from way out of town.
Well, we have our equivalent digital denizens, and they're also returning in force. Except ours are largely from the investment shadows, awaiting the next opportunity to brandish heavy fear tactics to convince you the energy market is about to collapse…again.
It is enough to prompt a recall of that old saw about market analysts.
You know, the one that says they have correctly predicted eight of the last three recessions.
At issue this time is the latest financial obstacle the market must overcome: the sequestration scheduled to hit a week from today. Now the draconian cuts will occur automatically, although it will also take some time for them to have any impact.
Most will not result in anything significant for at least a month.
Of course, the markets are not going to wait that long. For the past two days, the first wave of nail biting started. It will get worse as our darling Congressmen return from their well earned (satire here folks, satire) vacation to play politics instead of reaching an agreement.
There will be a stopgap move after some wailing and gnashing of teeth.
After this, we will get back to business. We can ignore those talking heads for one major reason.
A developing and accelerating economic recovery waits on the other side.
Most of the signs, especially among the leading economic indicators, are now pointing in that direction.
That's good news for us, since most of those indicators are energy sensitive. Well before the recovery arrives in the broader market, the energy sector is already advancing because of the front-loaded demand in a returning production, industrial and commercial process.
We need to get through the current waves of unrest and investment misgivings. But that will not be easy.
Congress does not come back into session until Monday and the sequestration is slated to take effect at close of business on Friday. That's going to make for a long and vexing week.
First, there will be the recriminations and finger pointing. Then, there will be the pundits suggesting the severe cuts may not be a bad thing. Sure, they will derail a recovery, wreck havoc with military procurements, Medicare payments, Project Head Start, and every other government program, while throwing a large chunk of the working population back on the unemployment rolls.
On the other hand, these sages of the airwaves will declare that it will make the budget look better.
Now don't get me wrong. There are massive problems in Washington on both the revenue and expenditure sides of the ledger. They have been developing over the years, and putting the brakes on them will be difficult and painful.
The simple observation, however, is this. Neither Congress nor the White House will allow the recovery to be sacrificed. After questioning each other's parentage, some uneven and out of focus compromise will be reached.
We should not expect the underlying problem to be solved in short order. We just want the Washington children to go pout in the corner, get out of the way, and let us make some money.
This brings me back to the fear mongers.
You have probably heard the naysayers over the last few days claiming oil is about to go down to $50 a barrel. Just a month ago, many of these pundits were then saying crude would fall to $40, so it seems they are mellowing a bit.
Whenever events pressure oil down, these masters of misdirection are back to remind why you need to invest with them, or buy their analysis, or wish upon a star. However, they are wrong about this on a massive scale.
Yes, oil goes up and down.
Yes, matters outside the oil sector have an irritating habit of upsetting the dynamics of supply and demand.
Yes, sometimes energy moves down faster than the market as a whole.
Still, this is not the normal move, nor is it a strategy upon which to invest in any medium-term perspective. Our advisory poltergeists are right only if the markets are permanently in recession (or worse).
Remember, these folks have only three objectives.
First, they need you to buy into the inevitability of a collapse in oil, resulting in investors bailing out and a further decline in price, thereby allowing the doomsayers to continue making money. You see, those in this category have been shorting the market all along and will continue to benefit if oil is driven further down.
Or second, they have another direction in mind altogether. In this scenario, they are really pushing gold, grain, another commodity, or some other investment area altogether. They have no real expertise or genuine interest in energy. They see an opportunity to deflect investment flows and go with it.
Third, there are some who actually believe the world is about to end and we are all going to freeze this (or next) winter.
The first are deceptive, the second disingenuous, while the third are simply wrong.
I appreciate a good piece of horror fiction as much as anybody does. It's just never an acceptable roadmap for investment.
Before when I commented I was angry about the way US politicians behave, but now I see that oil prices will rise over time in spit of them or other setbacks. The world will keep on developing needing ever more energy, and that means prices wil rise.
I am a land and mineral rights owner in the Uinta Basin in Utah,…outside of Vernal and Roosevelt. Crescent Point recently bought Ute Energy and now we have a new partner developing our property.
I have read that CPE is very good at enhanced recovery techniques….in particular.
Can you write about what is going on in the Uinta Basin and the real potential there. Our wells have varied in early (first 60 days of production) from 75 bpd to 400 bpd on land that contiguous. I can't figure out how to project what we will see over time….are these likely 30 yr wells or 20 year wells or something else?
The guys working in the field say these are traditional vertical wells that go down about 10,000 feet,…+/- into the upper Wasatch and lower Green River formation… they say there are several pay zones available to them in each well. How and when do they decide to frack and tap into other zones? Would they do that simultaneously or wait until a particular zone drops below a certain level to tap another? They have to truck the oil out from each well, and it must be heated to flow….as it is a waxy based oil…with lots of paraffin in it. I have seen samples and it won't even pour out of a beaker at room temps. How and when is a decision made to start enhanced recovery techniques?
Seeing the optimism in this article, it's a bit strange to get a link to a – old – doomsday article. -Or am I missing something? I suppose the point is that if we invest wisely we can make it through hard times!?
Obama's anti-business policies are likely to continue hurting the economy. He's likely to oppose more drilling. Maybe he'll attack fracking, which could affect 90% of US oil and gas production.
On the other hand, I heard that we may have a big economic boom from energy production – mostly from private lands, despite Obama's opposition. Also, I've heard that some manufacturing is coming back to the US because wages have gone up a lot in China. Also I've heard that 3D printing may mean a big boom in US manufacturing.
Draconian cuts? There will be no cuts! Even if sequestration passes, spending will still increase by about $15 billion this year. The proposed spending cuts of $22Bn will be merely a decrease in the planned increase in spending of about $40 billion this year. $22 billion represents a decrease of 0.6% of the planned $3.7 trillion in spending this year. For the last five years, we've been overspending by at least $1 trillion per year. Every year, the $1 trillion of over-spending becomes the new baseline. Slowing down this rate of massive over-spending is not a spending cut!!

Better fitness in pre-pregnant women linked with less risk of gestational diabetes
by University of Iowa
Expectant mothers who were more fit before pregnancy are at lower risk of developing gestational diabetes, according to a new study from the University of Iowa.
The findings illustrate the importance of improving fitness before a woman becomes pregnant. Gestational diabetes, a condition in which women develop diabetes during the last half of pregnancy, affects up to 14 percent of pregnant women in the United States, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Women with gestational diabetes are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes after giving birth.
People interested in becoming more fit can do so by engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week (30 minutes per day, five days per week), says Kara Whitaker, assistant professor in the UI's Department of Health and Human Physiology and corresponding author on the study.
Brisk walking would constitute moderate physical activity; jogging would be considered vigorous physical activity.
"Women are very careful during pregnancy with what they eat and the exercise they get," Whitaker says. "But the study shows women should engage in these healthy behaviors before they get pregnant as well."
Whitaker's team analyzed data from 1,333 women over a 25-year period (1985 to 2011) who enrolled in a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute study called Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA). The women completed seven study visits after first being enrolled, reporting whether they had become pregnant or gave birth and whether they developed gestational diabetes. Researchers also performed a fitness exam during the first study visit by testing whether the women could walk for two-minute intervals on a treadmill at increasing speeds and on steepening inclines.
Over the study period, 164 women developed gestational diabetes. Using that information, Whitaker's team determined that pre-pregnant women with high levels of fitness had a 21 percent lower risk of developing gestational diabetes than did those with lower fitness levels.
"We would expect to see this reduction in gestational diabetes risk if women had moderate improvements in fitness—going from fair to good fitness, for example" says Whitaker, who joined the UI in January 2018.
"The main point is, it's important to get in better shape before you get pregnant," she says.
The findings could be used by medical professionals to recommend higher pre-pregnancy fitness to patients, especially those at greater risk for gestational diabetes.
"If female patients who are considering pregnancy weren't meeting physical activity guidelines (as outlined by the American College of Sports Medicine), then a doctor could write a prescription, such as for a walking program," Whitaker says.
The findings could be especially helpful to mitigate other health risks.
"Many women who become pregnant and later develop GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus) already have elevated metabolic risk factors before pregnancy," says Erica Gunderson, an epidemiologist and senior research scientist at Kaiser Permanente Northern California and a co-author on the study. "Higher physical activity before pregnancy may lower risk of GDM by improving glucose metabolism and preventing excessive weight gain."
Skimping on sleep may contribute to gestational diabetes

A shooting at a residence and nursing home left five family members dead. A 13-year-old boy and his father were killed in a home.
ROBSTOWN, Texas — A Calallen Middle School student was among the victims of series of shootings in Robstown on Friday.
Isaiah Starry, 13, and his father were identified by family and friends as those whose bodies were found in a house in the 4200 block of west State Highway 44.
Thelma Montalvo, 60, and Ernest Starry, 85, were fatally shot at the Retama Manor Nursing Home in the 600 block of East Avenue J the same day.
A Facebook post from Boy Scout Troop 65 states Isaiah Starry was among those killed in Robstown.
"We lost one of our scouts, Isaiah Starry in the tragic shooting in Robstown on Friday night. His grandma, Thelma Motalvo, also passed away," the post reads.
Robstown City Secretary Herman Rodriguez said Roel Mireles, 41, was found inside the residence with the teen.
Ernest Starry and Montalvo were helping to raise the teen, Rodriguez said.
Officials at Grace United Methodist Church in nearby Calallen said the teen was not a member of their congregation, but was active in Boy Scout Troop No. 65. The church is the troop's chartering organization.
"He was known very well by our scout family," the Rev. Jason Fry told the Caller-Times Sunday. "They're stunned and devastated by this, particularly the scout leaders. They knew him well."
Robstown police believe Richard Starry, 60, Ernest Starry's son, was the shooter. Richard Starry was also among the dead, police Chief Erasmo Flores said at a news conference Saturday.
Grace United Methodist Church wrote in a Facebook post Isaiah was a boy scout in the church's Troop 65.
Facebook user Leslie Marie said Montalvo was her aunt. The post states Isaiah Starry was the son of Mireles.
She thanked the community for its "concerns, prayers and support," but said the family requested privacy as it deals with "this horrific tragedy."
The Texas Rangers were expected to assist in the investigation, city officials said in a news release.
State Rep. Abel Herrero, D-Robstown, said city officials, with the assistance of Gov. Greg Abbott's office, will have the Texas Department of Public Safety have grief counselors available.

The Securities and Exchange Commission takes a holiday for Christmas and New Year's Day, but SEC reporting teams for fund groups and operating companies will be heads down getting ready to meet the first filing deadlines of the year. Here are a few resources to help filers plan for 2019.
To help colleagues inside and outside the accounting, finance and compliance departments keep track of deadlines, check out the 2019 SEC filing calendar from Workiva. The calendar lists due dates for 10-K, 10-Q, N-4, 13F and other key forms, as well as SEC holidays when the EDGAR system will not process submissions.
Print your own 2019 SEC filing calendar to highlight dates you are watching.
Foreign private issuers with significant securities offerings in the United States are required to meet a number of specific SEC filing deadlines. You can download or print this SEC calendar for FPIs to keep dates for Forms 20-F, 11-K, 13F, 13H and SD handy, based on a calendar year-end.
Amongst the financial reporting trends and developments to watch in 2019 is the first phase of implementation for the Inline XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) mandate. Although the SEC is phasing in its requirement for filers to use iXBRL for financial statements and risk/return summaries, savvy teams are using it already. Large accelerated filers must meet the mandate for periods ending on or after 15 June, 2019, meaning the second quarter for those whose fiscal year follows the calendar year. Be sure to plan accordingly.
