2007 AzSAE Award--Excellence in Communication
The Arizona Society of Association Executives (AzSAE) selected the International Dark-Sky Association for the Award of Excellence in Communications for 2007. The award was based on IDA's outstanding Nightscape publication, which was selected from a wide range of communications, including newsletters, journals, magazines, membership directories, brochures, Web sites, and videos.
2001 IESNA President's Award
Dr. David L. Crawford, executive director of IDA, and Terry McGowan, IDA board member, each received the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America's 2001 Presidential Award at the August meeting of IESNA in Ottawa, Canada. Three of these awards were presented in total: the third was given to Louis Erhardt, a long-time writer and educator about good lighting.
2000 Heritage Preservation Award
The International Dark-Sky Association received a Heritage Preservation Award from the state of New Mexico. "The award is in recognition of successful efforts to pass the Night Time Protection Act for New Mexico in the 1999 legislative session, thereby ensuring the cultural and environmental heritage of New Mexico's night skies for present and future generations." It was signed by the governor, the secretary of state, the State Historic Preservation officer, and the chair of the Cultural Properties Review Committee. It was given at the 28th Annual New Mexico Heritage Preservation Awards ceremony on 2000 May 12 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Lylly Campins was in Santa Fe to receive the award on behalf of IDA and thank the state for the honor. We greatly appreciate the state's support and recognition of dark skies as a cultural resource.

Each year IDA grants a number of prestigious awards to individuals and organizations active in the fight to preserve our nighttime environment. To view past recipients and nomination criteria for awards, please visit our Awards page.

Leah McGrath, a corporate dietitian for Asheville, N.C.-based Ingles Markets Inc., said she uses social media, including Facebook and Twitter, extensively to interact with consumers about produce and nutrition. She also does a weekly radio program, appears regularly on local TV. and works with local growers on in-store promotions.
McGrath said she didn't realize all of the behind-the-scenes work that went into producing high-quality fresh vegetables and vegetable seeds, and that was something she wanted to convey to her followers.
"I really think all of the different varieties are fascinating," she said. "We talk about tomatoes, but there are all of these functional components of tomatoes. This is a very different growing climate than what we have in North Carolina. This is a dry climate, and it's really interesting to see what the crop looks like compared to what we see when I visit farmers in North Carolina."
Sylvia Melendez-Klinger, owner of hispanic food communications inc., Chicago, tweeted a picture of a hybrid tomato based on an heirloom variety, saying, "Tie dye tomatoes — yummy!!"
Melendez-Klinger said many consumers are far removed from cooking at home and don't know the nutritional components of what they consume.
"The more food groups you have on the plate, the better," she said. "The more colors is even easier. That's what I tell children. And then you don't have worry about vitamins C, A, D or whatever, either."
Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center Center for Sports Medicine and Nutrition, works frequently with student athletes. She said she believed the current recommendations of consuming five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables daily may be too daunting for most consumers.
"The food phobia people have about produce isn't getting people healthy," she said. "It's driving people toward more processed food."
As dietitians, they advocate variety in a diet. Having more varieties of fruits and vegetables available to consumers that actually taste good could help reverse the trend of less per-capita produce consumption, Bonci said.

Who are the Latino celebs who are prime examples of what it means to be out and proud? These ones! Here are the faces of LGBT pride in the Latino community. How do you show your pride?
View All Slides
Patricia Yurena
Came Out: The former Miss Spain recently came out as gay in a super-sweet Instagram post. The beauty queen shared a photo posing intimately with her girlfriend, Spanish DJ Vanesa Klein. "Romeo and Juliet," the caption read.
Why We Love Her: Yurena, who held the title of Miss Spain in both 2008 and 2013, told Spanish press that she came out because it made her happy to be in a relationship with Klein. "I did it, because I am happy about what's going on in my life," she said.
As the first openly gay national beauty queen, Yurena opens the door for other women to be true to themselves. The Spanish beauty shared her enthusiasm over the positive reception of her news with fans. "I published [the photo] quite naturally and impulsively," she wrote. "I appreciate the outpouring of support and even more rejoice in my happiness. Thank you!"
Emily Rios
Came Out: The Bridge star recently came out as gay in an interview with TCA's FX Day, according to The Huffington Post. The character she plays on the FX show, Adriana Mendez, is also a lesbian. "I'm gay, personally, so being Mexican and a lesbian — this is why I love the character because I deal with the same type of things with my own family," Emily said.
Why we love her: Rios admitted that being a lesbian and Latino is hard, but not for reasons one might expect: "Mexican-Americans especially — because this generation, we come into America and your family wants to be proud. You want to come to this country and say 'This is what I have to show for it. I brought my family and we're living our better life.' For my family, my mom didn't want me to live a difficult life. She brought me here for a better one so she's like 'Your coming out… I don't want this to be this. I want you to be comfortable.'"
She also understands that characters are more than just sexuality, gay or straight, and hopes to depict a rounded character on the show.
"I want it to be an incidental thing, which is what happens in our everyday life," Rios said. "I wanted to make sure the whole lesbian aspect wasn't this whole coming out story and the character wasn't going to be made more flamboyant in any sort of way."
Ian Matos, 24
Came out: Top Brazilian diver Ian Matos spoke publicly about his sexuality for the first time, citing British diver Tom Daley as an inspiration. "From a young age, I knew I was gay," he said. "But it was here that I got to live my sexuality."
Why we love him: Matos, who was the Brazilian 3-meter champion last year, is likely to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. Although a friend told him to remain in the closet until after the games, Matos stood up for himself and declared that he is out AND proud!
Orlando Cruz
Came out: In October 2012, the Puerto Rican professional boxer decided it was time to reveal to the world a little more about himself. "I've been fighting for more than 24 years and as I continue my ascendant career, I want to be true to myself," he told USA Today. The boxer, who declared himself a "proud gay man," recently married his boyfriend Jose Manuel Colon in a ceremony at New York's Central Park.
Why we love him: Although Cruz knew he'd be the first openly gay man in boxing, he wasn't afraid to make history, and remained proud of who he truly is, showing others they shouldn't be afraid either. "I want to try to be the best role model I can be for kids who might look into boxing as a sport and a professional career," he said.
Michelle Rodriguez
Came out: Fans have speculated for years about the Fast and the Furious star's sexuality. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she confirmed that their assumptions of her possibly being gay were very close to the truth. "Eh, they're not too far off," Rodriguez said. "I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f--king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks."
Why we love her: Despite rumors constantly flying, Rodriguez has always kept strong and remained true to who she is. She also recently helped open up the conversation about some of the misconceptions others have about bisexual people and how we can discuss the topic as Latinos.
Linda Perry, 48
Came out: Perry started dating The Talk co-host Sara Gilbert in 2011. In April 2013, they were engaged! The Brazilian songwriter planned a musical picnic to pop the question.
Why we love her: The rock musician looks out for her own. Perry is very involved with the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center and, through its annual event "An Evening with Women," helps provide a safe place and support for LGBT youth.
Ricky Martin, 40
Came Out: Following years of speculation and avoiding the uncomfortable question about whether or not he was gay, Ricky Martin came out of the closet in March of 2010, declaring on his personal website that he was a fortunate homosexual man.
Why we love him: The Evita star's coming out story has helped make being gay less taboo. "The power of his coming out narrative, in coming out with pride — it's been extraordinary," says Jarrett Barrios, the former President of GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation).
Perez Hilton, 34
Came Out: You might say he was born out of the closet. Perez has always been out and proud!
Why We Love Him: When gay teens all around the country started taking their own lives after being bullied in school, Perez changed the way he wrote about celebrities on his popular website, PerezHilton.com and toned down the bullying. The "Queen of All Media" continues publishing videos preaching tolerance.
Wilson Cruz, 38
Came Out: When the Puerto Rican actor came out to his parents at 19, his mother was shocked and his father threw him out of the house, forcing Cruz to spend the next few months living in his car. However, Wilson and his father later reconciled.
Why We Love Him: Wilson was playing an out and proud character on TV (Rickie Vazquez on My So-Called Life) at a time when there were no other gay Latino characters on TV. There are more gay characters on TV today because of him.
Mondo Guerra, 34
Came Out: The Mexican-American designer was already openly gay when he appeared on the 8th season of Lifetime's Project Runway, but on the show, Mondo came out as HIV Positive (he had been keeping it a secret for 10 years).
Why We Love Him: Mondo is a gay rights advocate who speaks openly about gay rights and HIV/AIDS.
Christian Chavez, 28
Came Out: In 2007, the RBD singer revealed that he was gay and said that he had not been open about his sexuality out of fear of rejection, of criticism, and especially because of his family and the consequences that being gay would bring.
Why We Love Him: Chavez's story of self-acceptance is one that many gay youths can relate to.
Vicci Martinez, 27
Came Out: The Tacoma, Washington native came out to her religious parents as a teenager. Even though it wasn't the easiest thing to do, Vicci says she has no regrets about it. "It was hard for me coming out to my parents," says Martinez, who adds that she'll never again hide who she is. "I've already gone through that hurdle and I'm not going to go through it again. I've had people say, 'Well, why don't you just keep them guessing? You can hit all the markets.' No. Especially if you're with somebody; it's so disrespectful," she says.
Why We Love Her: The girl's a rock star—not just because she can jam out to songs like Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"—but also because she's got the guts to live life by her own definition.

I've been on a dried foods kick recently, so I was intrigued when I spotted Danielle Crispy Veggie Chips on the shelf of my local grocery store. These all natural snack chips come in a wide variety of exotic sounding flavors including Tangy Pineapple, Sweet Jackfruit, Honey Banana, Crunchy Pumpkin, Wild Taro, and Spicy Carrot which is the flavor up for review. Although a 2-oz. bag was $3.29 (pretty steep) I decided to give it a shot.
Upon opening the bag, I was struck by the vibrant hue of the carrots and the spicy yet sweet smell. The chips were substantial, and each was packed with a satisfying crunch. For a snack with only four ingredients - fresh carrots, palm oil, chili, and salt - these little veggie wonders are intensely flavorful.
Each 28 gram (1 ounce) serving of Danielle Spicy Carrot Crispy Veggie Chips (half of one bag), provides 130 calories, 7 grams of total fat including 4 grams of saturated fat (20% of the RDA), 5 grams of fiber, and 2 grams of protein.
Although I liked the taste of these carrot chips, the nutritional stats are less than impressive - too much saturated fat. Hain PureSnax Carrot Chips has a less fat - 9 grams total, but 0.5 grams saturated (although they don't taste as good). Some other "natural" chips we have reviewed with less fat includes Eat Smart Baked Sweet Potato Crisps and Food Should Taste Good MultiGrain Tortilla Chips.

Man! id eat that hot ass!! Love pounding hairy booty!

Heres another tasty ass...
I am loving this thread.
I could post my own hairy butt if you would like.
Still one of my favorites.
i hate when guys have shaved asses i love a huge forest back there when im ready to dip my face in
Every guy in post 45 is hot. The first guy gives my man in post 4 a good run for his money. Beautiful ass!!
Wow. I thought I had a really hairy ass. Compared to most of these, it's at the lower end. I think mines closest to #78 (post above mine)
I totally love guys with his body type. Makes me so darn hard!!!
Just thought I'd share: When I was younger -- in my late teens and early 20s -- I absolutely hated that my ass was furry. I was so embarrassed by it (even though no one was seeing it). Once I started surfing the internet and found out how many guys out there actually love a hairy backside, it was a revelation. Now I'm happy to have a fuzzy-butt.
I'm glad for forums like this. I have a hairy ass and I for the longest time was told it was not sexy due to the hair
The guy in yellow socks in post 85 and the one in the white jock strap in 83 are hot. I'd fuck em.
So many hairy asses out there but where is mine to eat out?
fuck, hairy is hotter then i thought
Nice mate. Now I need to see the front.
the guy in the first picture of this thread is my type of man, sweet hairy ass as well.
Sir Ron loves a hairy ass.....
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!

Halter Hi-Lo Studded Dress
Style # 205982
Studded stripe detail, sheer hi-lo hemline and waist-cinching self-tie make this bebe dress an instant way to sculpt a dark glam outfit.
- 100% polyester
- Center back to hem: 32" (81 cm)
- Hand wash
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Halter Hi-Lo Studded Dress
It's alright for me.
I ordered a size XS. I'm 4'11" and 102lbs. I wasn't sure what size I should get because some Bebe dress I'm a medium! Especially the skin tight ones. Haha. Well. I choose an XS because the dress look baggy on the model! Sure enough when I received mine it was loose in the back and there's no adjust to the halter top portion because it was to long and just didn't look like it fit me. I guess I could have gone with an xxs but the elastic waist might be to tight. Since I got the item on sale and there's no return ill just keep it and get a little alteration done to it. I would not pay full price. The dress was alright. Material was okay as well. I do like the design of the dress but wish it would fit better.
May 16, 2013
A million times better than the pic! All hand embellished! I didn't even realize it had gold beads on it. Super sexy, extremely light and perfect for a summer little black dress! A must have at this price!
April 30, 2013
So flattering!
This dress is sooo cute! I wear it to the office with a little black sweater. If I'm going out, I'll pile on the gold jewelry and wear higher heels. So versatile and sexy. Too bad I didn't get the sale price! =-( Still worth every cent. True to size......I'm 5'3 110-115 and have a small.

Oral History Program Arlene Wilson Saunders Interviewed by Marci Farr 21 October 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Arlene Wilson Saunders Interviewed by Marci Farr 21 October 2008 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted October 21, 2008 and concerns her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr, we are interviewing Arlene Wilson Saunders in her home in Ogden, Utah. It is October 21, 2008 and she graduated from the Dee School of Nursing in 1954. Could you just tell us a little about your early life? Where you were born and raised and about your family and where you went to school? AS: I was born and reared in Price, Utah and I have two older brothers. My parents were very hard workers and they had little education. My father could not read or write but very little but he was a good mechanic and he got work in the coal mines working on the mining equipment. My mother could read and write very well but jobs were hard to come by so she worked hard late at night cleaning office buildings etc. She would often take me with her and she taught me how to clean and work. During one of the shifts at work, my father was severely injured by a runaway coal car and his co-worker was killed. Dad slowly recovered and then retired from mining shortly after. He always kept busy, as did my mother, and they always had a beautiful yard and garden. They both lived good long lives. My dad died at the age of 93 and my mother at the age of 96. My oldest brother still lives in the Price area and even though he is in his 80's he still runs a farm with several head of cattle. He also has a very large garden in which they raise all the vegetables needed for year round use. My second brother lives in Nampa, Idaho where he is retired from his own business. MF: You attended school in Price? AS: Yes, I attended all twelve years of elementary school in Price and really had a wonderful time in school. I graduated from Carbon High School. After graduation I started working in the telephone office in Price where I worked for about two years. While still in high school I did baby sitting and also helped people in our neighborhoods to help earn some money. While growing up I never went to church and no one in my family did. We always worked in the yard and did other things on Sunday. It wasn't until I left home that I started going to church at the encouragement of some of my classmates. That's when one of my friend's said "It's time you went to church." I replied, "I don't know if it is or not," but anyhow, they took me to church. After two times, I was very glad they did because there was this cute young man there leading the singing and he was attracted to me at once. I was two years older than him and I thought he was too young but he was cute. Here came along this young man named Darrell Saunders and his sister said, " Please go out with him. He has been watching you for a month." After I went out with him twice I asked him if he knew how old I was. He replied "Yes, you are two years older than I am and that is perfectly fine." We started dating and things just clicked. After we had dated for several months, Darrell went into the service so we began corresponding through letters. The reason I came to Ogden to go into nursing was because a friend of mine was coming and she asked me to join her. When she asked me to come my response was "Not me, I can't stand the sight of blood and I don't want to be 3 a nurse." So what did she do? She sent me all the papers and applications and had everything all signed and acted like I had signed all this. Bless her little heart. Her name was Carol Waterman. She wanted me to come to Ogden and she kept after me until I finally said ok. I was fortunate to get accepted into the program. One of my brothers drove me up to Ogden when it was time to begin my training and I quickly fell in love with all of the girls in my class. I mean we just clicked together and had the nicest class and all got along so well together. It was wonderful to have all the wonderful friends that we had in nursing. We were really just like sisters. We were a busy group and we liked to pull little pranks on one another. MF: Weren't you the wild class? AS: Yes. I didn't want to say that but the house mother sort of implied that fact and she had been there for many years. She said she really enjoyed our class because we never sat still and we were always doing fun things, even if they were sometimes a little devious. We also had a lot of fun at a little pharmacy just across the street from the nurse's home. They had a soda fountain and we would hang out there sometimes and have ice cream. MF: That's great. We heard about your wild class. AS: We had so many great times together. At times we would go to the roof of the nurse's home and sun bathe. We also went swimming a lot. We went to dances on occasion with fellows who were stationed here in the service and we had good times at these dances. One time, now I hope no one reported this, but anyway, this one young man went out with one of our best friends. She was in our class. She was wonderful and beautiful. This young man did not treat her nice. He was rude to her, stood her up and called her names. We didn't appreciate that, so one day my friend LuAnn and I and a couple others stood at an open window upstairs. We had a little bucket of water that we didn't know what to do with so we kind of cooled him off. He was much nicer after that. In fact, they ended up getting married. MF: Was this your first time away from home? AS: Yes, it was. MF: What were your first impressions? AS: It was hard at first because I didn't know anyone. You wouldn't believe it but I was a little timid. I just didn't quite know how to associate with all these new people. There was a girl who was supposed to come up from Price with me, but at the last minute she decided not to go into nursing. After just a few days though our class just bonded. One of the girls, Pat, played the piano for us and we all sang and goofed around. We just had a wonderful time together. We would go out and go for walks, go swimming and we played ball together. Our friend LuAnn and her husband to be always came and brought some others to play ball and so I learned to play ball. I had never really played ball. Some of them just lived it. It was just their life, but I had never played much ball except with my brothers a little bit. We just loved doing that and other sports together. MF: We love when we hear the stories of how you were able to get together and rely on each other; when you were taking tests or whatever, just to get through the 5 day sometimes. I think just to have them there and just have a little relief from the pressure, because it was kind of stressful. AS: That's right. MF: To go in there and have to know all of those things. I can imagine that would be a really hard thing. So what were some of your rules you had to follow while you were in training? AS: We had to be in at a certain hour and not be out late. The housemother said if we did not get in on time then she would lock us out, but she never did. We usually all tried to get in on time. We really did, because that was how it should be and so we always did. Once in a while we would be late coming in from a date but we knew of another door that we could sneak in. But that didn't happen very often. We were pretty good at keeping the rules. MF: Who was your roommate that you roomed with? AS: It was Beth Danielson and her name is Beth Danielson Wilson now. She married my brother. In fact, Beth and I were the only ones in our class that stayed as roommates the whole time. She just came to live with me and we lived the rest of the time together. Then she saw my brother's picture. I have two brothers and she picked my brother Glen, and that is who she married. MF: Where was she from? AS: She was from Smithfield. MF: What were some of your favorite classes that you had to take while at Weber College? AS: I really liked all my classes but the ones I enjoyed the most were those where we learned the anatomy of the body, like the skeletal system, etc. Also the classes that were more on the medical field were very interesting. It was my first exposure to these special courses and I just absorbed this new information. One of our teachers scared us to death however. He was a good teacher but he would just call us up to the board to write our answers but because of this we learned to be prepared. We had fun learning from each teacher and they became like family to us. They truly wanted us to learn. Just before our first Christmas in nursing school we took our tests. When we returned back after Christmas we found that four in our class had not passed and that included the only male student in our class. It was very hard to see them leave because we had developed such a closeness with each other. MF: After you graduated did you stay at the Dee Hospital? AS: No. I went to Georgia to be with my husband who was in the military. I became pregnant while in Georgia and I would go to the Fort Benning Hospital for check ups. Every time I went for a check up a different doctor would be on duty. Some of them I didn't feel as comfortable with and some of them were okay. When it came time for my delivery I had never seen the doctor on duty before. When the doctor examined me, he said "she is ready" and in fifteen minutes my first child was born. He didn't have time to give me anything for pain so he just started talking to me and I found out that he had interned at the Dee Hospital and knew all of the doctors and many of the nurses that I knew. It relaxed me because I felt I was in good hands. When I came home from Georgia, I worked again part 7 time at the Dee Hospital while my husband finished his pre-dental classes at Weber College. In 1957 we moved back to Lincoln, Nebraska where my husband began dental school. Because I had my RN degree I was able to find a job at one of the large hospitals in Lincoln and worked weekends to help support my husband through school. We had two children at this time and my husband was home with them when I was at work. After dental school we moved back to Ogden and I started working at the Dee Hospital part time. By this time we had four children. It is interesting how nursing becomes such an influence in your life. I ended up as a patient in the hospital. I was down in the recovery room where there were a couple of other patients recovering from their surgery. I was still pretty out of it when one of the other patients started to yell – "Nurse Nurse." Even though I was still groggy I responded, "I'm coming." My husband and father-in-law were in the room with me and they both really got a chuckle out of my response. I had an opportunity to work at the School for the Deaf and Blind. It was such a special experience to work with those wonderful students. You see these students with the challenges they have in their lives and it makes you thankful for the opportunities we have and it causes you to work harder to accomplish what they accomplish. These students gave us much love and it was very rewarding working with them. That was one of the most special times of my life, working with those people because they taught me how to love me as myself and to try harder to be the best I could and to be thankful for what I have. LuAnn and I also helped in working with the Red Cross for a couple of years. We had fun working together teaching some health classes. We also helped with vaccinations etc. MF: How do you think your training at the hospital served you? AS: I don't know what I would have done without my training. It gave me a confidence in myself that I could help others around me and that I could help my children. Maybe I didn't always know what to do, but what not to do. Sometimes children think they know what is good for them and it helped me be able to tell them why something was not good for them. There were things like that I think every mother needs, to be home and know what to give or do for their children and what not to give them. I was able to teach them about taking care of their bodies and what not to put in their bodies so I never had a problem with any of my kids doing anything like that. It worked out really well and we were able to be quite healthy. MF: When we have talked to other nurses, you never had a problem getting a job if you had to support your family. AS: Nurses were in need then, just like they are now days. One of my favorite assignments was working at the State Mental Hospital. What I really learned there was that you try hard to understand and love these patients then they will show that love back to you. They can sense if you are comfortable around them or if you are not. If you are then you could help them a lot. My roommate had a hard time working there because she was so uncomfortable around those people and they felt it and didn't like her very much. I also spent some time at the State 9 Tuberculosis Hospital. I learned a lot there about that disease and I learned to respect the patients because of their positive outlook. MF: What was your favorite floor that you worked on? AS: I liked surgical because patients usually recovered, most of them, not all of them. Most of them you could see they were happy now and everything was going to be okay. I liked that floor better. I also enjoyed being with the babies working up in the nursery. MF: After you graduated and you were at the Dee, did you just go wherever they needed you as far as working on the floors? AS: Yes, I worked on the floors for quite awhile. They wanted me to go on medical, but then they had room on surgical so I went back on surgical. I should have gone on medical to get more experience, but when they gave me my choice I went back to surgical. Medical is a good floor, I learned a lot on medical too. I just liked happy things and sometimes on medical they didn't always come out happy. I knew that. You learn that first. It's not always going to be something you can deal with. They let us work both floors and I was glad I got experience on that floor too. If I had to work extra I would always pick surgical because I knew people usually got better on that floor. Many times we lost patients and you would get so attached to them. They become your friends. They become part of your life. It was so hard to see them suffer, especially with cancer. The only thing I didn't like about nursing was to witness suffering and death. You would get so attached to some patients and when they would go it was like losing a member of your family. As nurses we did all that we could to help alleviate as much pain and suffering as we could by our skills but mostly by our caring and compassion. Nursing has changed a lot over the years but that part should never change. I feel our class was very good at giving loving tender care. We were a great class. We just loved each other even though we pulled naughty little pranks on each other. We always had lots of laughs and giggles. We were known to be the giggliest class that went through the Dee. MF: Arlene thank you for letting us come and share your stories with us.

Is social media making us smarter? You bet it is, argues a new study.
Academic newspaper Globe And Mail claims that social media—especially Twitter—is making us hyper literate. But how could our feed, which probably contains a mixture of fun tweets, hard news, and satirical parody accounts, actually be making us smarter?
Think about it: Twitter gives us access to massive amounts of info, right at our fingertips. It also introduces us to new words, ideas, and opinions.
From 1986 to 2006, the average length of a freshman's essay increased from 422 words to 1038—plus the essays were far more complex, and students used better evidence to support their point.
Scrolling your Twitter feed in your free time may seem like totally no big deal, but maybe you should now refer to it as studying—absorbing all the info improves your writing and critical thinking skills!
Plus, each time you rush to think of a witty reply to a tweet or add your commentary to an event you're live-tweeting (like the VMAs or Grammys), it actually helps you become a better thinker, faster thinker, claims Globe and Mail.
"There's powerful evidence that digital tools are helping young people write and think far better than in the past," the article states. The Globe and Mail claims that, thanks to Twitter, people aren't just consuming media—they're "talking back to it."

Designer Steven Volpe was never in the market for a rustic retreat, but then his business partner made him an offer he couldn't refuse
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Meanwhile, the house that Volpe had initially declared a teardown began to grow on him. He learned that it was built in the late 19th century, and he began to research the local architectural vernacular. In the end, he and the Martins decided to embark on a gentler renovation. They upgraded the home's plumbing, refinished the wood floors, and painted the exterior trim black. The kitchen, which still had an electric stovetop from the 1950s, was dismantled and then refitted with new stainless steel appliances, white-marble counters, and the original iron-knobbed cabinets, repainted in a shiny gray enamel.
For Volpe, who is known for the pristine interiors he creates for blue-chip clients, the decor had to strike a balance between his own highly curated aesthetic and the more practical needs of a young family. "If it's too fragile, it can't go in," he says. "It has to be kid friendly." But that didn't stop him from searching out interesting finds, including several pieces by Hedge's artists and designers, such as a Tony Marsh perforated-ceramic vessel in the dining room, and a gemlike mirror by Sam Orlando Miller in the Martins' bedroom. In the wood-paneled sitting room, Axel Vervoordt sofas mix with a 17th-century log bucket and 1940s French chairs upholstered in a coral checkered fabric. "They feel knocked out, not precious," Volpe says.
In many ways, the house is still a work in progress. Upstairs there are just two bedrooms—one for Volpe, and one for the Martins, which has a screened-off area for the children. Eventually, Volpe will renovate an adjoining building and turn it into his own personal quarters. For now, he and the Martins try to alternate their visits, or just pile in together for weekends of work, togetherness, and fun. "It took us a while to realize how special the house is," Volpe says, "but the more time I spend in it, the more I like the way it makes us feel. Fortunately, we stopped ourselves from taking away its soul."

Adding bacon bits can instantly give your salad and other recipes instant va-va-voom! I have stayed away from the fake stuff, but when I saw Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Bits and looked at the decent nutrition facts, I decided to try it out.
Each 1 tablespoon serving provides only 25 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat and 7% of the daily value for sodium (7%). The ingredients are bacon (cured with water, sodium, salt, sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium ascorbate, sodium nitrite), hickory smoke flavor, and artificial flavor.
The taste is pure heaven. But don't take my word for it. My little taste testers loved it. I added it to scrambled eggs, omelets and salads. I confess I made homemade pizza and sprinkled a little on that too. But I even spiced up some green beans with a few sprinkles, and everybody ate it up with no complaints.
I bought a 3 ounce bag of Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Bits for $1.89 and it was well worth it. I can't say that I really NEED to have Bacon Bits around, but when I do, I'm not going to reach for the fake stuff - which coincidentally has more calories than this.
And just in case you were wondering how many strips of bacon it takes to make a 3 ounce bag ... this actually never crossed my mind, but the folks at Cockeyed.com decided to fry up some bacon and find out - it was 12 strips.

No. 2: The Cyclone -- Coney Island
The Cyclone at Coney Island is a National Historic Landmark, a New York City Landmark, and a sentimental favorite.
Built in 1927, the Cyclone has at times been shut down, condemned, and almost destroyed, but supporters kept it alive.
It was completely refurbished in the 1970s, and since then, millions of dollars have been invested in maintenance to keep it in top shape.
Riders enjoy the sharp drops and tight turns. The ride lasts for 1 minute and 50 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 60 mph. The first drop is 85 feet, at a 60 degree angle. The 2,640-foot long track goes through six 180-degree turns and changes direction 16 times.
The world record for number of hours riding the Cyclone was set in 1977, when 19-year-old Richard Rodriguez rode it for 104 hours straight.
But you won't have to ride this old classic that long for it to become your new favorite.
