Oral History Program Bertie Olsen Young Criddle Interviewed by Marci Farr 20 October 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Bertie Olsen Young Criddle Interviewed by Marci Farr 20 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 20, 2008 and concerns her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We're interviewing Bertie Olsen Young Criddle at her home at home in Kaysville, Utah. It's October 20, 2008. She graduated from the Dee School of Nursing in 1951. Could you tell us a little bit about your early life, your family, where you went to school and why you decided to become a nurse? BC : I was born and raised in the small town of Morgan, Utah. I attended Morgan Elementary and Morgan High School and graduated in 1948. When I was 17 years old I became ill with Rheumatic Fever. I was bedridden for most of my senior year. Through the months the toxic effects of the Rheumatic Fever traveled to my joints and finally to my appendix. I was rushed to the Dee Hospital for an emergency appendectomy on April 1, 1948. At that time all emergencies at the Dee Hospital were met at the back door and then transported to the 4th floor. When I arrived a group of nurses were waiting at the door for me. I was carried from my father's car and placed on an operating table. The nurses quickly began removing my clothes, my watch and ring and the Bobby pins from my hair. Everyone was busy working so fast. I was very impressed. I was then transported to the 4th floor and was quickly prepared for surgery. The nurses were all so kind to me that it was then that I decided I wanted to become a nurse. MF: That's a great story. I love to hear stuff like that. Why did you select the Dee? Because it was close to home? 2 BC: No. The reason I selected the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital School of Nursing was because my step mother, La Mar Criddle, had graduated from there. And also my sister, Evelyn Olsen, was receiving her nurses training there at that time. MF: When you were going into nurse's training did you have to take any tests? Were there any assessments or did you just have to apply for the training? BC: In my recollection I had to take comprehensive college entrance exams in order to be accepted. MF: What were your first impressions when you first entered your nurse's training? BC: I was excited yet fearful. Of course, it was a real change for me to go from living in a tiny town to living in a city. Everyone and everything was strange to me so I was filled with anxiety. MF: Had you ever been away from home other than when you were in the hospital? BC: No. MF: So that was your first time away? BC: I had visited my grandparents who lived in central Utah and in Salt Lake City but no, I had never lived away from home. MF: What were some of your first duties you had to do when you were in nurse's training? What were some of the first things you learned to do? BC: In our Nursing Arts classes we learned 'everything'....the various methods of how to take a persons temperature, how to take blood pressure, how to give an enema, how to catheterize and all about giving injections. While we were learning those things it was required that we dress as nurses. We wore our 3 crisp, white uniforms, white nylons, white shoes, and white cap. Our very first duty was to go to the hospital and give A.M. Care to patients. MF: Tell us about that. BC: We had to enter a patient's room, gently awaken the patient, explain our purpose which was to wash their face and hands, roll up the head of the bed and prepare them for their breakfast. That first day for me was so frightening that my teacher literally had to push me into the patient's room. We did not know what to expect ... was this patient going to be a crotchety, old man, or was it a little lady that was unable to move very much on her own or would it be a paralyzed patient? It was scary. MF: I'm sure that was so scary, I know we were talking to Sue Naisbitt and she said she was so scared; her first thing she had to do was to give a bed bath. BC: I can certainly relate to that. To give bed baths was challenging and our work was evaluated by our Nursing Arts teacher. She was very particular about the type of overall care we gave. We also had to document every single thing we did for each patient…on their individual charts. MF: Everything was put on paper? BC: Yes, it was. We wrote it out in 'long hand' in the Nurse's notes sheet. MF: Oh that's scary too. BC: We were taught 'Observation skills'. The moment we entered a patient's room we were expected to see how that patient was doing and what was going on in that room. The nursing instructor would ask us specific questions about each patient. MF: So..major details? 4 BC: Oh, absolutely 'major' details. The Nursing Arts teacher would go into the patient's room immediately after us to evaluate our care. The first patient I gave a bed bath to was a motorcycle accident victim. He was paralyzed and in a coma. We did not have what's called ICU back then. We were taught to carry on a conversation all the time we gave care to those who are unconscious. So I talked to him as though he was completely o.k. I'd tell him, "Now, I am going to raise your foot to wash it", etc. All the time I was bathing him I was shaking from head to toe myself from fright. But all went well. Thank goodness. MF: That would be so hard. Later it was probably just so natural, just something you did. Do you remember who your house mother was? BC: We had 2 house mothers when I was living at the Nurses Home. I'm not sure about their names. MF: That's what everybody's said this past group: nobody can remember who she was. BC: I recall one name. She was Mrs. McGraw. She was elderly and ornery. She didn't seem to have much patience with teenagers. But the other house mother was sunshiny and tolerant. Young girls have to have some fun. MF: Exactly, because you had a lot of rules. Who was your roommate when you were in nurse's training? BC: When I entered the Nurse's School my first roommate was Jean Waldron. She did not make the grades she needed and she flunked out the first quarter. However, she attended college and returned to Nurse's School the following year and she did graduate. She is deceased now. I had 4 other roommates. 5 Three of them flunked out and one graduated with me. Her name was Norma Vowels who is deceased. MF: What were some of the rules you had to follow while you were in nurse's training? BC: We had to keep our rooms very clean and organized. The Director of Nurses would come periodically to give a 'white glove' inspection. We were expected to be respectful and compatible with our roommate. And we had a definite curfew. The doors to the nurses home were locked every night at midnight. MF: Couldn't be out late? BC: No. However, occasionally we student nurses would be a bit late so we'd knock on one of our classmates windows and she would come to open the back door for us. It was risky to do that because we very well could have been expelled from the school if we were caught breaking the rules. MF: What were some of your favorite classes that you took while you were at the Weber College? BC: I liked the General Ed classes. We attended these at Weber State College the 1st two years of our training. Our Nursing Arts classes were interesting. I liked them very much. Our Nursing Arts teacher was excellent. MF: That's good. So when you learned every floor in the whole hospital when you were in training? BC: Yes. We, student nurse's, worked on every floor at the Dee Hospital. MF: How long did you spend on a floor? BC: We had to follow a specified schedule which was individualized for each one of us. I don't recall the exact amount of time we served on each floor. The 2nd floor consisted of medical patients with older people or those with chronic 6 illness's; the 3rd floor was for surgical patients..before and after their surgery. The 4th floor was pediatrics (babies and young children) and the new part of the 4th floor was for maternity patients. We served in the kitchen learning to make special diets, we worked in central supply for a short period. This is where we learned how to assemble various packets to be autoclaved. These were used in surgery and for various procedures. We served our time in the delivery room and in the nursery. MF: So you could get everything down. BC: Yes. Plus we served at 2 different Affiliations. We lived at the TB Sanitarium here in Ogden, took classes there and took care of the TB patients. MF: I know the later classes have talked about that. Virginia and Sue talked about that they had been to the TB sanitarium. BC: I was trained and worked there for about maybe 3 or 4 months. When that affiliation was over I was sent to Provo for Psychiatric training. It was not easy. MF: Everybody said that was one of the hardest things. BC: Yes. Working with psychiatric patients is very challenging. MF: That would be hard. They said you'd walk in there and there's a bed blocking you and the person and you just didn't know because the drugs weren't there to take care of the needs of the patient if they had a mental illness. Others have said that was the hardest thing. Trying to figure out what was wrong, what would work? What was something that you would do for fun if you had a night off? If you weren't working what was something you would do? BC: I dated quite a lot. We would go out to eat and to movies. We went roller skating and as much as possible we went dancing. 7 MF: I know we were talking to Lois Murray. She graduated in 1947. She said that when they'd go out they'd wear their nurses uniform. They did this because then they didn't feel like they got hit on and they felt like they had more respect if they had their uniforms on. BC: Oh, really? I never wore my uniform except for nursing work and during our Nursing Arts classes. MF: That was during the war. BC: We didn't ever do that. We always wore normal clothes to go downtown or out for the evening. MF: It's kind of interesting to know what other people have had to say. BC: I'll bet it has. MF: Who were some of your instructors that you had while in training? BC: Marie Manning taught us a few classes. You've heard of her? MF: Yes. BC: Miss Manning was a good teacher. My favorite teacher was Miss Pace. She taught us all the nursing procedures.. .catheterization, how to gavage, all about giving injections, how to bandage. She taught us everything. MF: Oh good. So they just taught you how to act and how to do things, like you said to observe. Was she the one that taught you how to observe? BC: Yes. She was a superb teacher. MF: That's good because I don't think now they do that. Do you think so? I mean they come in and check the monitor and that's about it. BC: Yes. The nursing care in hospitals nowadays lacks quality. MF: And it's sad that they've lost that art. BC: It certainly is. 8 MF: Tell us a little about your capping ceremony. BC: We sent out invitations to our parents and other family members. My dad and my stepmother and my sister and her husband were in attendance for that special occasion. It was an inspiring evening. After the music and the doctors speech, our plain white caps were placed on our heads. That meant our probation period was over and we were well on our way toward our degree. MF: That was after you were in the program for six months? BC: Yes. We were probee's for 6 months. During our 1st year we were allowed to wear one vertical black stripe on our caps. During the 2nd year we wore 2 black stripes on our caps; the 3rd year we wore 3 stripes and finally we were able to remove the vertical stripes for a black stripe worn horizontally all around the top of our caps. These stripes indicated how much schooling/training we had had. We attended school summer, winter, spring and fall so those 3 years were equivalent to four years of college because we were never out for a summer. MF: Did you have vacation time at all? BC: No. We attended school and worked full time at the hospital. MF: Did you just have your day off, two a week and that was it? BC: Yes, that was it. And sometimes we were "on call." MF: But it was probably nice though to have that schooling done, you know. BC: We received our academic schooling along with the 'hands-on' experience. Putting to work what we had learned in class helped us to retain the knowledge. It seems to me that the hospital nurses of today are not as efficient or as caring for their patients as in former days. MF: Who were some of your favorite doctors that you worked with? 9 BC: Dr. Dean Tanner and Dr. Lindsey Curtis were my favorites. Dr. Tanner was a skilled plastic surgeon. I worked with him in surgery. Dr. Curtis was one of our teachers. He was a gynecologist. They were both excellent doctors. The nurses were required to stand up whenever a doctor walked into the 'charting' room. We stood at attention all the while the doctor was in that room. MF: Really, even while they were writing all their stuff? BC: Yes.. .while they were talking or writing orders...we stood and waited. MF: Oh my goodness. BC: Even to this day when I see a doctor I feel like I should be standing up. MF: Oh that's interesting. BC: Didn't any of the other nurses tell you that? MF: They just said if you were in the room, you know, you just stood there and waited until they were done. BC: We did just that! And if a doctor needed a nurse to accompany him to see a patient he would look around the room and take notice of the 'stripes' on our caps. The doctor would then point his finger and say "I don't want to take you with me. I will take the nurse with 2 stripes." The selected nurse would then accompany the doctor...either to assist him or to be taught how to change a surgical dressing or whatever. Some patients in those days remained in the hospital for weeks and sometimes over a month until the doctor thought the patient was well enough to function without nursing care. We did not release anyone until they were well. MF: That's true. BC: Many patients nowadays are being discharged from the hospital way too soon. 10 MF: Stay and recuperate. BC: Yes. That is my belief. MF: That's interesting. Yes, we've heard those doctors names. We've heard they were wonderful men, great contributors to the hospital and people were able to get excellent care. That's wonderful. Tell us about what would have been one of your greatest challenges when you were in nurses training? Is there anything you can think of? BC: Psychiatry was my greatest challenge. While I was there I had some harrowing experiences. Strong college students were hired to protect us in the most disturbed wards. Patients were very unpredictable. It was downright frightening to work there. MF: That's so scary. BC: Working in the psychiatric hospital was a nightmare for me. MF: I'm sure you were glad when those two months were up and you were done. BC: Yes, I was relieved when the time there was up. However, we were there longer than two months. MF: You were there for six months? BC: We were there from January 1st to June 1st....five long months MF: Oh yes, that would be nerve racking. BC: It was especially bad since I had to work 'double duty' in the most disturbed ward. MF: That would be so hard, you'd never know what their reaction was going to be. How do you think your training at the Dee Hospital served you later on in life? What did you do with your nursing degree? 11 BC: I got married immediately following my psychiatric affiliation.. .while I was still in nursing school. After graduation and was a full fledged RN, I continued working at the Dee Hospital for approximately 15 months. I worked on the pediatric floor and loved it. My experiences there helped me when I was raising my own six children. I worked there at the hospital until I started my own family. Then when my youngest child was age 4, I took a 'refresher course' at a Salt Lake City Hospital and went to work in home health part time then went into public health full time. My work helped fund our children's college and church missions. But it was challenging for me to return to work after many years. MF: That's true. BC: When I was working in home health, I remember feeling grateful for the nurses training I had had at the Thomas D. Dee Memorial School of Nursing. MF: Oh good. So your training probably served you well as far as being able to do anything. BC: I don't know about my being able to do 'anything' but I had confidence in my abilities as a nurse. My nursing education and nursing experiences helped me raise my family. It has proved 'valuable' to me. MF: That's good. We were talking about the impact of the hospital itself and the doctors and then your training as a nurse. It's just amazing how this community put out all the nurses and how much they have affected Ogden. BC: It is wonderful that someone chose this project and has been working hard at it. MF: You didn't work at the Dee just for a year and a half and then you just did your home health care and then you didn't do anything at the hospitals? 12 BC: As I said..I worked at the Dee Hospital on the pediatric floor for about a year and a half then I took a 'refresher course' at a hospital. I did not work for any hospital after the birth of my children instead I chose to work where I didn't have to do shift work. Home health and public health work allowed me to be home when my children were home. MF: When did you retire from nursing? BC: I retired in 1981. Some of my children were getting married and I needed to be home to make plans. MF: How do you think nursing has changed over the years? We've talked a little about nursing care. What do you think as far as technology? BC: I think technology has really bounded forward and I think that is wonderful. But the nursing care and how the nurses dress is very disappointing to me. Since they all wear sloppy-looking, loose fitting scrubs they don't appear one bit professional. To me it is difficult to tell who is a nurse from who is there to mop the floor. In past times, we all knew who the nurse was. Last year I had to spend time as a patient in various hospitals. It has been very disappointing. The nurses don't seem to have the skills they should have. I have wanted to call out to them, "Hey, that's not how you do that." MF: Exactly, because you know. BC: Yes, I just have to keep my mouth shut. If my husband happens to say, "My wife is a nurse." The nurse or whoever is caring for me seems to get nervous. MF: Then they're nervous because you will know if they do one thing wrong. BC: Well, in my opinion when a nurse enters a patient's room they should be prepared. If a nurse is there to give an injection she should take notice of how the patient appears...is he/she comfortable or are the pillows crumpled behind 13 them in a lump, or are the sheets rumpled up underneath them, is the patient perspiring, does this patient need a soothing back rub before or following the injection. These type of thoughts should be circulating in the nurses judge-ment. I think todays nursing care needs some adjustment. MF: It is sad. BC: Somehow it should be corrected. MF: It's so interesting how much it has totally changed. You told me that you still get together with some of your classmates. BC: Yes, we try. MF: You get together once a year at least? BC: If possible. MF: It's probably nice to still stay in contact with them. BC: Our get togethers usually happen when classmates from out of town come into town. Then we attempt to meet for lunch. MF: So your most stressful experience was probably your psychiatric? BC: Definitely. Although there was a good teacher at the mental hospital and I learned a lot. I still remember the experiences there were awful. As a student nurse 'electric shock' therapy was performed in the Dee Hospital. It took from 4 to 6 of us to help hold the patient down during the grand mal seizure. It was not a pleasant experience either. MF: Was that for people that had mental illnesses? Is that what that was for? BC: Yes, it was. Medications for the mentally ill were not as readily available in those days. MF: So the medicine part has totally come a long way. BC: It has. But I think we have a lot of patients that should be in a mental hospital. 14 MF: It's hard and then that brings up the question of where would you put those people. How would you take care of them, who's willing to foot the bill. It's just sad that we don't have places for them where people that can take care of them. BC: My sister who became a nurse loved psychiatry. It was her very favorite nursing experience. MF: Really? BC: Yes. The psychiatric affiliation for her was in Wyoming. I think it was called Anaconda. And following my sisters marriage she chose to work with mental health patients. MF: Wow. See that's what Ruth Brown did. She did her Ph.D in that. BC: I realize that some nurses did enjoy working in psychiatry but not me. MF: Well, we appreciate you letting us come and visit with you. Did you have any other thoughts of things you've thought of about nurse's training? BC: It was a wonderful experience all in all. And I'm just glad I chose that profession. I have enjoyed being an RN. MF: It worked out for you. BC: It most certainly has. My nurse's training has helped me in countless ways. MF: I appreciate you sharing that with us. We appreciate the pictures too, so thank you. BC: You are most welcome. And thank you for all your work on this historic project.

An Idaho seed company expects growers to plant about 3,000 acres of its new sweet corn variety in 2012.
Growers planted about 150 acres of Caldwell, Idaho-based Crookham Co.'s Amaize sweet corn on a test basis in 2011, said Lisa Friedrich, marketing director of Golden Sun Marketing, Minnetrista, Minn., which is marketing Amaize for Crookham.
"This year it was mostly available in the Midwest," Friedrich said. "Next year, plans are to increase distribution, but they're still working on partnerships with growers."
Amaize is a white sweet corn variety that Crookham took 20 years to develop, Friedrich said.
The variety has a distinctive crunch and a long shelf life, lasting 20% longer than comparable varieties, she said.
Amaize grows best in the northern U.S., Friedrich said.
The variety will be marketed in 2012 in bulk and tray packs, and a supporting marketing campaign featuring retail point-of-sale materials, in-store demos and public relations and social media outreach is planned, she said.

Extreme Ice
Photograph by James Balog
Art meets science in photographer James Balog's Extreme Ice Survey. The project, begun in December 2006, will attempt to capture global warming in the act using 26 solar-powered cameras taking time-lapse photographs of glaciers in Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, the Alps, and the Rocky Mountains. Balog hopes the ambitious effort, which will produce more than 300,000 images over the course of two years, "radically alters public perception of the global warming issue."
Here, a large, glistening iceberg calved from the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland drifts through Disko Bay on its way to the Atlantic Ocean.
Iceland Icebergs

Decaying ice and icebergs crowd Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland. The 2.5-by-3-mile (4-by-5-kilometer) lagoon began to form in the 1930s as glaciers from the Vatnajokull icecap started to retreat.
Photographer James Balog hopes that by presenting clear images of rapid glacial retreat, the Extreme Ice Survey will help change public perception of global climate change as an abstract concept and show its real-time effects.
Colliding Icebergs

These massive icebergs were calved from Greenland's Jakobshavn Glacier, a massive frozen river that sends 11 cubic miles (45 cubic kilometers) of ice into the ocean each year, more than any other glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. "Jakobshavn is the biggest of the big," says photographer James Balog, founder of the Extreme Ice Survey. Balog and his research partners encountered faulty electronics, heavy equipment, and foul weather when they installed 26 solar-powered, time-lapse cameras at 16 glaciers in five countries. The few that Balog has revisited are operating well. "So far, so good," he says.
Seagulls and Iceberg

This doughy-looking iceberg in western Greenland's Disko Bay was once part of the enormous Jakobshavn ice stream, a river of ice four miles (six kilometers) wide and several thousand feet thick.
The Extreme Ice Survey is focusing heavily on Jakobshavn, which in the past decade has retreated at about 120 feet (37 meters) per day, twice its normal rate.
Meltwater Pool

Icebergs, including one with a sapphire pool of meltwater, clutter Greenland's Jakobshavn Fjord near the village of Ilulissat. The glacier that produced this flotilla has receded some four miles (six kilometers) since the year 2000.
Glaciers such as Jakobshavn are calving icebergs much faster than scientific models had predicted they would. The ongoing Extreme Ice Survey hopes to shed some light on why these so-called tidewater glaciers, which end in water instead of land, are being lost at such a rapid rate.
Harrison Glacier

Bare rock and meltwater pools mark the edge of the shrinking Harrison Glacier in Montana's Glacier National Park. Of the 150 glaciers found in the park a century ago, only 27 remain. And scientists predict that by 2030, those will all be gone.
In 2008, photographer James Balog, founder of the Extreme Ice Survey, and several research colleagues will return to the 26 solar-powered cameras they've installed at 16 glaciers worldwide to download the photographs taken so far. Balog hopes to release some images to the public immediately.
Alaska Iceberg

A crystalline iceberg drifts in Columbia Bay near Valdez, Alaska. The source of this iceberg, the Columbia Glacier, has lost more than 10 miles (16 kilometers) of ice since 1984.
In May 2007, members of the ongoing Extreme Ice Survey, including founder James Balog, were setting up cameras at Columbia Glacier when they witnessed one of the largest glacial calving events ever seen. A similar event filmed later at Greenland's Jakobshavn Glacier made the one at Columbia look small.
Bolivia Mountain

The town of El Alto, Bolivia, sprawls beneath snow-draped Huayna Potosi. Glaciers on the 20,000-foot (6,000-meter) mountain feed streams that supply El Alto and the Bolivian capital La Paz with water for irrigation, drinking, and hydroelectric power. As glaciers there continue to shrink, future water supplies will be imperiled. Some studies say the Andes' smaller, lower-altitude glaciers will be gone within a few decades.
Mont Blanc

Glaciers coat the valley north of Mont Blanc near Chamonix, France. At a length of 8 miles (12 kilometers), Mer de Glace, or Sea of Ice, is one of the largest glaciers in the Alps.
Estimates indicate the Alps have lost about half their glacial ice in the past century. And if climate change trends continue, they could lose 50 to 80 percent of their remaining glaciers by 2100.
Columbia Glacier
Photograph by James Balog
Massive Columbia Glacier, photographed here in June 2006, wends its way through western Alaska's Chugach Mountains. The bald streak at the bottom of the mountains, called the trimline, shows this glacier has lost 1,300 feet (400 meters) of thickness since its maximum in 1984. It has also retreated 10.5 miles (17 kilometers) since that time.
After the last camera is collected in the summer of 2009, Extreme Ice Survey founder James Balog will begin to stitch the hundreds of thousands of images together into a multimedia educational package, a documentary, and a traveling exhibition—all designed to draw attention to global warming.

We've had mixed reviews about Kraft Fat Free Cheeses here on Iateapie.net. Kraft Fat Free Mozzarella Cheese was not good, but Kraft Fat Free Sharp Cheddar Singles was okay - although "sharp cheddar" was a bit of a stretch. I decided to the the Kraft Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese next as a tie breaker. What I didn't know then was that I should have saved my money, because this fat free cheese was not worth it!
Like the Fat Free Mozzarella, this also had a sour, bland, plastic-like taste. Yuck ! When I melted some on a tortilla for a healthier quesadilla, I didn't want to finish - and I'm not one to waste food. It was like eating rubbery, cheese-flavored goo; this cheese had none of the bubbly goodness I crave in a cheddar.
Nutritionally, this product is great though. A 1/4 cup serving of Kraft Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese provides just 45 calories (about half of the calories provided by regular shredded Cheddar cheese), no fat, 280 mg sodium (12% of the daily value), 9 grams of protein, and 25% of the RDA for calcium.
I bought an 8-ounce bag for $3.49, on sale from $4.99. At a price that high, with a taste that ho-hum, I won't be buying this again. The fat free cheddar cheese that have received good reviews are Cabot 50Percent Light Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Borden Fat Free Sharp Cheese Singles - but none are shredded, so it might be best to just go the full fat route - and reduce the portion size.
Do you have any recommendations for a good brand of fat free shredded cheese?

As a small business marketing blog, we cover a lot of digital marketing tactics. In our opinion, SEO is the most powerful form of marketing your business can invest in. In fact, we've written about it before. In case you don't stay up to date with digital marketing news, Google has been on a tear ripping down sites that have invested in SEO.
No one knows for sure, but we can speculate. Google wants people to invest in Google ads, not third part SEO companies. SEO companies are a major thorn in Google's side, and they will do anything in their power to tear them down.
At the end of the day, I can't really blame them. They are a publicly traded company that has a duty to their shareholders to make a boat load of cash. The main way they do that is through paid search and display advertisements. FOr the most part, companies will invest in SEO or PPC ads. If a company is investing in SEO, they are taking money out of Google's pocket. This can't happen.
So this begs the question, as important as good SEO is for your business, should you be investing in it? There is a good chance that your efforts can get torn down by Google's wrath and your website be sent off into obscurity. Once it is gone, there is really no coming back.
We reached out to our resident SEO expert, Ryan Stewart, for comment.
As an owner of one of the major SEO companies in Miami, this is always looming in the back of my mind. It is really frustrating, not only as a business owner, but as someone who wants to help small business success with their online efforts. Getting visibility in search engines is vital for your digital marketing success but the odds are stacked against you. The way Google's algorithm is set up is to favor large multi billion dollar companies. That means as SEOs we have to find a way to work within their framework and get success for our clients. Google constantly changes their algorithm and makes it more difficult to have success, and they penalize websites that follow their guidelines. I still believe in SEO and I still believe that investing in SEO is vital for your business to have online success. Only time will tell to see how this all pans out…
Ryan may be a little bit biased, but we side with him. If your business wants to have success online you have to get found. More people click on organic search results as opposed to ads, so being present is becoming increasingly important.
We will continue to cover this topic as things unfold. Stay tuned for more updates.

The first round of Spring Training cuts happened today and though I am a Hinshaw fan, I have to admit I wasn't sad for this to happen. It means we're a little closer to this whole strange thing that is Spring Training being over.
Spring Training freaks me out because if the team does well, I have this, The teams that do well in Spring Training don't do well in the real season feeling. And if the team does badly, it's all What's wrong with them?! They're going to be terrible! I am excited about how good the Giants have been so far, but I'm a little tentative. Not getting my hopes up. Much.
CJ Wilson's new(ish) Twitter profile picture.
You know how in Alice in Wonderland, after the final battle, the crown goes flying from the Red Queen's head to the White Queen's and then the Cheshire Cat appears (you can see it at 6:45 here)? I need someone with evaporating skills to help me with that.
So. I need a new Best Hair King. And I'm taking votes on these three candidates.
1. Barry Zito, San Francisco Giants
2. Gio Gonzalez, Oakland A's
3. Neftali Feliz, Texas Rangers (who, for the record, has the best curls ever)
Takin' votes down there in the comments. If you vote, I will send you some Aussie hairspray. Maybe. Potentially. Perhaps.

For instance, a two-way two-lane route is unsafe, because CalTrans totally refuses to place a median divider. This is straight out of the Rove Handbook on pettifogging the issues. If you do not have a central divider on two-lane highways, there are more deaths, as Whitney cites.
So CalTrans rejected a two-way, two-lane option. Why? Because it is unsafe. Why?
CalTrans refuses to construct a median, as if to make sure it is unsafe. No doubt CalTrans PR office will say CalTrans only wants to save lives. So why not add a median? And the answer is no, just no. Aand yet this is precisely what CalTrans has in store for us for Phase One-a dangerous two-way, two-lane route without a median.
This safety concern and others only arrive with Phase Two, but there is no ironclad assurance there will be money for Phase Two-a screaming six-mile long, I-5-style freeway, where drivers can get their final ya-yas out speeding across the valley before spending hours and hours along the slow 30 mph curves of Ecotopia.
Until then, about six years from now, maybe, we get the two-lane, two-way route without a median, nor viaduct access routes in case of emergencies.
Whitney argues for a route along the railroad right of way.
Whitney's article also touches on a number of other issues in environmental impact not considered for the present design.
Above all, the city really needs to look at this crazy thing again. Don't forget, the pièce de résistance is the gutting of Little Lake itself. The Army Corps of Engineers says it can just move the wetlands to another place-they've never attempted something like this before; it will be experimental.
Anyone with a lick of historical background about the Corps large-scale construction projects will only tremble when they hear this. Please, don't let this happen.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

SOLON - A blue green algae bloom is to blame for a fish kill in south arm of Lake Macbride. Runoff from a storm on May 29 combined with an increase in water temperature stimulated a blue green algae bloom in the south arm of the lake, east of the causeway near the south campground. Dead fish began showing up last Thursday.
Paul Sleeper, fisheries biologist for Lake Macbride, said the fish kill mainly involved 8 to 10-inch white bass and wipers.
He said the fish were killed from a drop in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the area due to the blue green algae bloom that was fed runoff from the storm last week. "We did not have this problem in the north arm," said Sleeper, who was out collected dead fish from the shoreline.
Prior to the rainfall, the south arm had 10 to 12 feet of water clarity. "Now it's pea soup," Sleeper said.
He said the algae bloom is still occurring but does not expect to see additional dead fish as most fled the south arm out to the main lake.
Sleeper said a total of about 1,000 white bass and wipers were killed along with a handful of bluegills, crappies, walleyes and channel catfish, which are species more susceptible to low oxygen levels.
Blue green algae produces oxygen during photosynthesis but consumes oxygen from the water on cloudy days and at night, and combined with the natural nighttime drop in oxygen levels, caused the fish kill.

"The troopers in the Bolivar County area were honored for their distinguished work in making our highways safe from impaired drivers," said Trooper Tony Dunn, public affairs officer.
Master Sergeant Robert Williford, Sergeant First Class Thomas Mullins, Trooper Charles Lamb, and Trooper Anthony Franks were given awards for making the most arrests at an annual luncheon in Olive Branch.
Every year the banquet is held for the troopers that get 100 or more DUIs.
"There's not very many people that do that because of the time it takes to stay out all night and such," said Williford, who is also the supervisor.
"What happened this passed year is that all the troopers, including myself, got over 100 DUIs.
"It's very unusual to have every trooper in one county to do that, and as a matter of fact I've never heard of it," said Williford.
Dunn said these men "have made a definite impact on making the Highways a much safer place to travel in Bolivar County.
"These troopers have worked tirelessly night and day to ensure your families, friends, and loved ones do not have to worry about their safety while traveling on Highways within Bolivar County and within the great state of Mississippi," he said.
With the combined efforts of these troopers, 583 impaired drivers were removed from the highways and a total of 4,842 traffic citations were written.
"There is no telling how many lives these dedicated Troopers saved," said Dunn.
Trp. Franks arrested 121 impaired drivers, Sgt. Mullins arrested 113 impaired drivers, Trp. Lamb arrested 214 impaired drivers, and M/Sgt. Williford arrested 135 impaired drivers.
"It's definitely an honor…a lot of work…and late nights for us but definitely an honor," said Mullins.
"The guys who work in Bolivar County have really been working hard and doing a good job," said Williford.

Watching the live cast on WPRI, after a mostly supportive debate, Rhode Island is half way to being the final New England state to offer marriage equality. A strong and bipartisan vote of 51 passed a same sex marriage bill. No publication shows the vote breakdown as of this post. See the state's press release.
The Senate President Theresa Paiva Weed has committed to a vote, but it is expected to be more difficult to pass.
Rhode Island would be the 10th US state to allow marriage equality after Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Iowa, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, Maryland, and the state of Washington.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I have remodelled my kitchen recently, and my previous wine storage (basically a cheap bookcase) has been displaced. Since I'm going for a fresh start on my kitchen organization I was wondering if anyone had any experience with wine racks that are intended to fit inside a cabinet. In particular, I would like to be able to stack my bottles such that they can be easily removed and rearranged, without wasting a lot of space for the rack itself, and as I live in an earthquake-prone area, keeping the bottles from rattling around and shaking loose would be a good thing. (I have actually had a few close calls on my old setup where a bottle worked its way out and onto the floor - nothing broke, thankfully!) I'm not interested in a wine rack that's intended as a display piece; I just want to be able to store as many bottles as possible in a 24"-wide cabinet while keeping them secure and accessible. Reasonable solutions that are not originally intended to be a wine rack are also more than welcome. asked Mar 28 '12 at 16:32 fluffy |
I took a minimalist approach and stack them with a couple of these: http://www.amazon.com/Make-My-Day-Bottle-Storage/dp/B0052WJ0SO/ Mine are even simpler; they don't look like wine bottles. You can barely tell they are there. linkanswered Jun 06 '12 at 17:25 veen |
I've used the J.K. Adams company wooden wine rack. They are modular, sturdy and easy to assemble.
They are secure, accessible; however, they are not the most efficient use of space. answered Apr 03 '12 at 20:08 linuspa |

The 100 Best TV Shows for Men

You know that gag where Stephen Colbert introduces his guest, but instead of the guest coming out from behind a curtain, Stephen bounds victoriously across the stage to meet the guest, who is already seated and looking awkward, while the crowd chants Stephen! Stephen!? He's done that same joke hundreds of times. And yet it's still funny. Colbert soaks in the adulation with such commitment, you can't help but laugh. That's the show in a nutshell: He puts himself into that character with every cell of his body, right on down to the hair. The Colbert Report is the longest-running performance-art piece on TV right now.

Bulls' Game 1 upset of Heat just what coach Tom Thibodeau scripted

Updated: June 8, 2013 6:40AM
MIAMI — Oh, my, Tom Thibodeau must have loved this. So homely was the game galumphing before his eyes that there were reports of the left corner of his mouth quivering slightly upward. But the birth of a near-smile couldn't be
independently confirmed.
This was Monday night, and the Bulls and Miami Heat were engaged in a contest so offensive to the grace and athleticism of basketball that the whole thing felt like a big flagrant foul. Hands seemed thick and incapable of simple tasks, such as passing and shooting.
And Thibodeau must have been in his glory. The Bulls' coach knows the only way his team can win this Eastern Conference semifinal series is if it burrows under the Heat's skin on defense and downshifts the game to super-slo-mo speed.
It certainly was the only way the Bulls were going to win Game 1, what with Luol Deng still recovering in Chicago from the effects of a spinal tap and Kirk Hinrich out with a sore calf. And let's not even mention the Derrick Rose situation.
The Bulls shocked the Heat
93-86, and the theme of the night was insurmountable odds — unless you were a member of the team from Chicago. Then the theme was how odd it would be that anyone would think the Bulls didn't have a chance.
''We play for each other,'' forward Taj Gibson said. ''We've got will. We've got heart. We show it every night, no matter how many players [are missing], no matter who is out there.''
People have taken to laughing at the things about which Gibson speaks, the things that aren't so easy to quantify. But how do you explain the depleted Bulls dragging the defending NBA champions below sea level? It makes no sense.
It wasn't even that the Heat choked. That would be an understandable story line — that, faced with the difficult task of repeating, the Heat simply felt the weight of it all. No, the Heat simply wasn't all there, and a lot of that has to do with the Bulls' sheer effort. They held the Heat to 39.7 percent shooting. They outrebounded the Heat 46-32.
In the closing minutes, you would have been forgiven for thinking the Heat finally was going to turn it on and be done with this foolishness. But it never happened, and the crowd at American Airlines Arena had the unpleasant experience of having the wind knocked out of it again and again.
Please pay close attention to the following names: Marco Belinelli made a three-pointer to tie the score at 86 with just less than two minutes left. Chris Bosh missed a shot, and Belinelli rebounded it. Nate Robinson made an 18-footer to give the Bulls a two-point lead. Dwyane Wade missed a shot. Robinson followed with a drive to put the Bulls ahead by four. LeBron James threw up an airball.
To sum up: Belinelli and Robinson for the Bulls; James, Bosh and Wade for the Heat.
Jimmy Butler did a superb job on James, who picked up his fourth MVP trophy before the game. Oh, James finished with 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, but Butler challenged him on every play. It was why James attempted only 17 shots.
Let's try to put the game in perspective. The degree of difficulty on this game was much higher than it was when the Bulls ended the Heat's 27-game winning streak. This game was in Miami; that one was at the United Center. This is the playoffs; that wasn't.
I'm sure there have been uglier displays of basketball, but most of them involved blindfolds and shackled ankles. Nobody seemed to want the ball. Carlos Boozer seemed to think it carried a virus.
The only way it could have been better for Thibodeau is if there were quicksand involved. The first half didn't just set NBA basketball back 70 years; it set fine motor skills back millions of years. Boozer was particularly awful. The Heat blocked three of his shots, and he committed three of the Bulls' 10 turnovers. He shot 2-for-8 from the field.
And for all that, the score was tied at 37 at halftime. The Heat shot 33.3 percent from the field and 23.1 percent on three-pointers. Just how Thibodeau likes it.
''We have been hit all year with a lot of different things,'' he said. ''I like the mental toughness of this team.''
Almost as much as he liked the muck of a basketball game played Monday night.

The Quadzilla Relay Race, at 6 p.m. Saturday, requires competitors to do stand-up paddle boarding, whitewater kayaking, mountain biking and team rafting. To sign up for the races, visit usnwc.org or register at the event on a space-available basis.
The food fun happens from 1 to 6 p.m., with 10 local food trucks going head to head for the top honor. Guests can buy sampling tickets, which are $5 for four tickets, at the event. Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, Stooge's Brass Band, Earphunk and the Lee Boys will play live music starting at 1 p.m. and continuing into the evening.
"We thought that bringing the food trucks together out here would be a fun event for both individuals and families," said Preston Kelly, U.S. National Whitewater Center public relations and communications specialist. "Both the Amphibious Duathlon and the Quadzilla Relay Race are unique races that give guests an opportunity to compete in a non-traditional way.
