This traditionally-furnished library appears to be completely enveloped in grayish-green-painted wood books shelves with handsome moldings and trim work. But the room leaves plenty of space for a cozy fireplace, a desk for studying and a comfortable couch for reading. A homey, pleasant room.
desiretoinspire.com (Thomas Mayer)
This library, which may be located in a basement, judging from the low ceilings, is lined with simple, unfinished pine book shelves. Care should be taken in basements to ensure that dampness – one of the great enemies of books – is not present.
desiretoinspire.com (Jordi Canosa)
This tall room has one wall covered by book shelves that stretch to the very high ceiling (probably twelve feet or higher). The drafting table and otherwise spare furnishings indicate that an architect may own this space.
desiretoinspire.com (House to Home)
This fairly small room manages to fit a surprising amount of book shelf space into itself, probably enough for more than a thousand books. The open, floating shelves have light edges but are painted a dark color on the horizontal surfaces, drawing attention to the uniform edges.
uncrate.com (from Book Décor)
This library is dominated by the beautiful stained wood – the shelves, the round library table, the chairs. It is a very traditional-looking library. The shelves are marked by the heavy moldings and trim work and they appear to extend around at least two walls.
Clearly a decorator library (from a site that sells decorator books by the yard), this space is filled entirely with red books, across an entire wall of supported shelves.
The library and double-height hallway in an architect's house in Los Feliz, California. The bookshelves, probably 14 feet tall, are painted blue (to match the chandelier?) and the taller shelves are accessed by an extra-tall rolling library ladder.
This massive wall of books is naturally lit from above by a long series of skylights. This is nice for the readers, but not so good for the books, which will suffer from being exposed to direct sunlight. This 15-foot high expanse of white-painted shelves will hold at least several thousand books, and definitely requires the use of a ladder – but I do not know if the one provided would be long enough for anyone but the tallest reader.
somethingblond.blogspot (Southern Accents)
This handsome two-level library has a wrought-iron balcony rail and white-painted shelves. There is room for a piano, as well as space for seating and what looks like a desk in the corner. A pleasant space.
This space is likely an impressive two-story, beautifully wood-paneled library, although it is hard to tell the size from this photo.

Michael Jordan doesn't tear up golf course, but fans enjoy watching him try
BY SEAN JENSEN email@example.com July 20, 2012 10:50PM
Michael Jordan takes in the mob scene surrounding his appearance in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tourney. | Sean Jensen~Sun-Times
Updated: August 22, 2012 6:17AM
STATELINE, Nev. — American Century Championship officials didn't know when — or even if — to expect the circus.
There was a rumor Wednesday night that Michael Jordan might not show up for the popular celebrity golf tournament, which he had played in 16 of the previous 22 times, and he didn't participate in the pro-am Thursday, as usual.
But 45 minutes before his tee time Friday morning, Jordan generated a buzz as only he can when he strode to the driving range in his custom-branded golf outfit. He last dribbled a basketball on an NBA court in 2003, yet, at age 49, Jordan still is the ultimate ringleader.
Fans hustled toward him with jerseys, magazines and pieces of paper in tow, and the other celebrities all made a point to stop and say hello, even interrupting him during his practice session.
The entourage was surprisingly small, just his fiancée, Yvette Prieto, and another friend, but the Jordan Rules have taken on a different tenor. Someone in a cart shuttled drinks to him in an insulated cup several times during the round, and he was escorted around the course by two sheriffs.
Even NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin presumed Jordan pulled some strings to get him an invite.
"Michael suggested it," Hamlin said of his first invitation to the event. "Whatever Michael says goes."
To capture the madness, I walked all 18 holes at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, inside the ropes, with Jordan's group, which included Hamlin and former baseball star Vince Coleman.
Here are some highlights and anecdotes:
◆ In the first-tee box, after his introduction, Jordan gets a loud roar from the fans in the box. He's friends with both of his playing partners. Coleman, in fact, is wearing the same purple shirt and golf shoes as Jordan, even though the branded gear isn't available for purchase anywhere. As for Hamlin, he initially met Jordan because he's a Charlotte Bobcats season-ticket holder — apparently the abysmal club's only one.
◆ After a par, the next two holes are a gong show for Jordan. His drive on the par-4 second settles behind a tree. His next shot hits a branch, advancing just four yards, then his pitch settles behind another pine tree left and short of the green. Eventually, he cards a double bogey. The third — a par-5 — isn't much better, with a worm-burner drive that leaves him 360 yards from the hole. He scrambles, though, for a bogey.
◆ Smoking a cigar, which he puffs away at during his putts, Jordan still interacts with fans, volunteers and tournament officials. Between holes, Jordan is swarmed by kids and others, who use their split second with him to mention Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods… and Space Jam.
◆ After a forgettable front nine — despite the generous Stableford scoring system, he doesn't muster a single point — Jordan pars the 10th hole to earn a point, then heads to the 11th tee, which is backed up because it's a par-4 that's reachable on the drive. While waiting, on a practice swing, Coleman clocks an official in the left temple, drawing blood. After he learns the official is fine, Jordan starts to razz his friend. "Sue him!" he tells the official.
◆ Other than a short lunch break, Prieto walked most of the course with him. As they approached the famed 17th green, one male fan yelled, "Sell that thing on eBay," referring to her massive engagement ring. Prieto couldn't help but laugh and give him the thumbs up.
◆ Jordan, whose best finish in the event is ninth, isn't having a memorable round. But, on the 18th tee box, he leans over to Coleman and says, "I'm up one. Reach into those pockets."
◆ After chunking a flop shot, Jordan settles for par on the 18th, giving him eight points for the round. Although Coleman has two more points, Jordan won their wager. "I have to give him almost $2 million," Coleman said jokingly. "We'll play again tomorrow."
Jordan declined comment after the round, but Hamlin said he was rattled by the gallery, which sometimes reached close to 100 people, tracking them.
Jordan told Hamlin last week when they played together that this is the most nervous he gets anymore, playing at the American Century tournament.
But Hamlin didn't really understand, until Friday, when his hands were sweating on the opening tee box. Then, on the 17th hole, where fans crowd it from all angles, including the beach, Hamlin double-bogeyed.
"We play all the time, and it's no big deal," Hamlin said. "But out here, you're so vulnerable. Everyone is staring at you, and you know they're staring at you, and you're hoping not to make a fool of yourself."
Or, more appropriately, end up a clown in Jordan's ongoing circus.

About two months ago I wrote about pocket projectors and their possible use in law enforcement. I mentioned 3M, Dell, Toshiba, and Aiptek but soon discovered there are also other manufacturers who produce projectors in different sizes, weights and prices.
I was contacted by a representative from 3M who appreciated the mention of the company in my PoliceOne article and requested that I evaluate a 3M MPro120 pocket projector and sent one to me.
The moment I looked at it I knew that any person who does any kind of presentation should have one. The package included a large battery and a charger that can be adapted for different voltage by installing one of the four different plugs included in the package. Once the battery is installed and charged it can power the projector for up to one hundred and twenty minutes before recharging is needed.
A cable is included to provide the connection to a computer. The cable also doubles as a sound cable that can be inserted to the sound output of the computer. The projector has two .5 watt small internal speakers that surprisingly have fair sound quality for its size.
Also included is an audio/visual cable set to hook up to a video recorder, digital camera, iPod, or even a cellular telephone. My son saw the pocket projector and thought it was "ultra cool" (his words). We were able to connect his 360 Xbox to the pocket projector and play for a few minutes. My son mentioned the visual aspect of the projector was beer than the TV he usually plays on, a particularly fine flattering remark to the projector and its capabilities especially when you consider its small size.
The last several items included in the box, are a carry pouch and flex tripod to hold the projector off a surface. You see just like any projector they get hot and need air circulation that keeps it cool and extend the life of the bulb.
I truly believe these pocket projectors are a must-have for at least a few of the officers in any department. Projectors of this size are perfect to show a photo or video in an interview room, a video or photo line-up during shift briefings and potentially have many other law enforcement uses. Devices like this one are optimal for an audience of one to five people and are not meant to substitute the projectors used for a large audience in a large room.
As I mentioned in the earlier article, prices can range between $120.00 to several thousand dollars. If I was looking to purchase one, I would evaluate the size of my target audience and purchase accordingly.
Of course, the projectors have uses for other than law enforcement and can be used to show digital pictures, movies, and as I mentioned before play a video game or two.
Until next time, stay safe.

Merit Scholarship Winner Profile: Suzanne Grey, DDS '13
Written by Adam Zewe
Dean Christian S. Stohler congratulates Suzanne Grey, DDS '13, for earning four merit scholarships. Grey received Gaylord, Dr. Elizabeth S. and Dr. William Powell, Dr. Charles W. Hennessey, and General scholarships. She appreciates the generous donations that made her awards possible.
Grey moved to Maryland eight years ago from Mandeville, Jamaica, a city of 50,000 people located west of the Caribbean countryýs capital, Kingston. At first, she found it difficult to adjust to the fast-paced U.S. lifestyle, and the challenges of dental school coursework. "Jamaica is a lot more laid back. Americans are always on the go. I had to change my whole mentality," she remarks.
Always interested in healthcare, Grey chose to pursue a dental career because she developed a passion for oral health. She feels gratified when she helps improve a patientýs smile. Grey especially enjoys interacting with her patients. After graduation, she is considering specializing in orthodontics or returning to Jamaica to perform public health dentistry. "In Jamaica, people take their oral health for granted. It would be nice to give back to the community where I was raised," states Grey.
In her spare time, Grey volunteers with a number of student groups, including the American Student Dental Association, Student Dental Association and Student National Dental Association. She also enjoys traveling, and visits her family in Jamaica as frequently as possible.
If you are interested in making a contribution to a scholarship fund or establishing a fund in memory or in honor of a loved one, please contact Marcelena Holmes, assistant dean of institutional advancement, at 410-706-2289 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: The Doomsday date of December 21, 2012 has people all over the world nervous in anticipation. One man in China has even spent his life savings to build a modern "Noah's Ark" just in case the devastation includes massive flooding. The ark is designed by Chinese inventor Liu Qiyuan, in Xianghe, Hebei province. Liu, who has spent 1.8 million yuan ($288,000) on building six "Noah's Ark"s in 8 months with the help of his former furniture factory's workers, is working on his seventh pod. The 17 cubic-metre volume vessels were built to serve as lifeboats in the event of earthquakes, tsunamis and floods. If there is a world after 21 December the engineer plans to use the boat as a tourist attraction. So, another stop when you are able to visit China.

Joanne Dru was an American film and television actress born January 31st, 1922 with the birth name Joan Letitia LaCock in Logan, West Virginia. Her father was a druggist. When she was eighteen years old, Dru moved to New York City to work as a model. She was then seen by Al Jolson an American singer, comedian and actor, who chose to cast her in his Broadway show, "Hold Onto Your Hats".
Soon Dru decided to relocate to Hollywood and do some stage work there. She began with various theater jobs and was soon spotted by a talent scout and was asked to join the film industry.
She was discovered by director, Howard Hawks in 1948 and was cast as the lead in, "Red River" (1948) and "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" (1949) both starring John Wayne. She was then cast in, "All the King's Men" (1949) starring Broderick Crawford, which was an Oscar winning film and also the movie set where she met her second husband, actor, John Ireland. Majority of her film roles type cast her in western films, although she made it known that she disliked that genre.
A couple more decent film roles followed in the mid 50's such as roles on, "Vengeance Valley" (1951) starring with Burt Lancaster, "Thunder Bay" (1953) and "3 Ring Circus" (1954). As her film career was beginning to slow down, Dru took a chance at television working on the sitcom, "Guestward Ho" (1960) which lasted 39 weeks.
From here on out her appearances were quite sporadic and very seldom. She had a film appearance on, "Syliva" (1965) and "Super Fuzz" (1980).
Joanne Dru married three times, first to a popular singer, Dick Haymes prior to relocating to Hollywood. She had three children with her first husband, Richard, Helen and Barbara. In 1949, she divorced and married an actor she met on set, John Ireland, and the couple were married until 1957. She married one more time to C.V Wood in 1972 and they were together until he passed away on March 14th, 1992.
Dru passed away on September 10th, 1996, in Los Angeles, California at the age of 74 from lymphedema. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered at sea. For her contribution to the Motion Picture Industry she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

At some point, the Republican Party will pull out of its various funks and win again. There is a crop of smart young conservatives waiting in the wings, ready to lead Republicans and conservatism in new directions. But first, they will have to overcome the mindset on display in Daniel Henninger's Wall Street Journal column entitled "The Racializing of American Politics."

The usual suspects -- Barack Obama, Democrats, the liberal media -- are responsible for the racializing, of course. Henninger reserves special opprobrium for exit polls, which used nefarious racial designations to reveal that blacks, Hispanics and Asians voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

I wasn't around at the time, but I suspect the racializing of American politics may have even earlier roots, perhaps around the time African slaves were brought ashore or maybe when the Founders put that awkward 3/5 provision in the Constitution. Both events sound pretty "racial."

Henninger, however, is focused on the indignities endured by the Republican Party in the year 2012.

In virtually every instance, the idea that the Republican Party is "too white" is dropped with almost no discussion of what exactly that means. The phrase is being pinned like a scarlet "W" on anyone who didn't vote for the Democrats' nominee. It's a you-know-what-we-mean denunciation. Its only meaning is racial.

You can't argue with that. When people say the Republican Party is "too white" they are indeed making a sly racial reference to the whiteness of the white people who lead, finance and vote for this nearly all-white party. Sure, you can use neutral, nonracial terms -- Henninger clearly thinks "white" is one -- but beneath the all-American guise, the discussion of the racial composition of the Republican Party is very, very racial.

Henninger goes on to warn that Republicans certainly shouldn't ape the Democrats on the racializing front.

The Democrats' insistence on pandering to political categories is a dead end for the country.

We can be pretty certain here that blacks, Asians, Hispanics and women are the "political categories" that Henninger has in mind. White men, he implies, are not a category; they are merely Americans. The type of Americans, Henninger maintains, who are now being told they're "too white."

The solution, he says, is for newcomers to assimilate more and for the Republicans to do a better job talking up economic opportunity. "No one can beat the Democrats at the politics of social division," he warns.

Yes, the Democrats' 2012 coalition, consisting of blacks, Hispanics, Asians and whites all pulling for the same candidate, is the very picture of "social division." Certainly no good can possibly come of it, other than a multi-racial electoral majority every four years or so. Henninger seems determined to keep Republicans safe from that.

An upcoming UNO hockey game will be hopping with activity as spectators will get the chance to fling a frog on the ice. The frogs aren't live, of course but the cause the event supports is real.
Methodist Health System and UNO Hockey have partnered up to raise money for Leap-for-a-Cure, an organization started by an Omaha family that raises money for education and treatment of brain cancer.
"We are pleased to be joining Methodist Health System and Leap-for-a-Cure for this unique event," said Matt Hansen, Director of Athletic Sponsorships and Marketing at UNO. "We love the idea of a "frog fling" and it will add to the already charged atmosphere as we take on the Denver Pioneers that weekend."
UNO and Denver will square off at 6:37 p.m. on March 2. The game will be televised on the NBC Sports Network.
Fans will be able to purchase stuffed frogs for $5 prior to and the night of the game at the CenturyLink Center and other Omaha locations.
At the second intermission of the game, those who have purchased frogs will be asked to "fling" their frog onto the ice. For every frog that makes it to the ice generous supporters of UNO hockey have pledged to donate additional funds to Leap-for-a-Cure.
"We hope we cover the ice with stuffed frogs," Hansen said. "Not only will this be a fun event, but it is benefiting a great cause in Leap-for-a-Cure."
There will be a jersey auction to raise money for the charity as well.

The Black 'n' Blue Burger at Jefferson's on Georgia Avenue features a juicy, half-pound burger, blue cheese, tomato, pickles, lettuce and red onion.Photo by Barry Courter /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
The place: Jefferson's, 618 Georgia Ave.
The dish: Black 'n' Blue Burger with fries.
The cost: $8.40.
I worked at the old Brass Register on Georgia Avenue for two years and met my wife there, so I have an affinity for the space. I think I've tried at least one meal at each of the places that has been there since, and neither was able to find the right formula of good food and good service.
I can't say the service issue has been fixed with the new establishment, Jefferson's. The kitchen was backed up and things were moving a little slowly, though the food was tasty and worth a return trip.
A little research (I asked a waitress) revealed that the place is known for wings and burgers. She said the Black 'n' Blue Burger is especially popular, so I went with that.
It's a big, juicy, two-fister that comes with red onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles and a generous serving of crumbled blue cheese. Everything blended together so well, I passed on adding mustard or any other condiment. The whole burger was good, but the three bites in the middle, where the cheese was fairly thick, were darn near perfect.
The crinkle fries at Jefferson's are sprinkled with a seasoning powder. While I liked the flavor, it was a little overpowering. My gums felt like they'd been soaking in meat tenderizer after a few minutes.

Taking care of your teeth and gums isn't just about preventing cavities or bad breath. The mouth is a gateway into your body's overall health. And since gum disease and other health problems may be linked, brushing and flossing are more important than ever. See your dentist regularly to keep your smile, and yourself, healthy.
Thanks to good oral health habits, more adults are keeping their natural teeth their entire lives. The key is prevention. The unique dental needs of senior adults include a vital connection between a healthy body and a healthy mouth. Don't neglect your oral health. It's an important part of being Mouth Healthy for Life.
When it comes to having a cavity filled, it's important to know that you have the right to decide, after consultation with your dentist, what treatments and materials are used for your dental care. Your dentist considers materials to use on an individualized basis, taking into account the size and location of your cavity. Cosmetic considerations, how long the filling could last, insurance coverage and out of pocket costs are some other factors you might want to consider. The ADA encourages you to talk with your dentist so that together you may choose the material that's right for you.
Here are some common dental filling options:

text: How do we vote AGAINST something? Private Practice needs to be hieavly voted against in every category. There isn't one character who is even worth watching after an unforgivable decision by Shonda Rimes to bring back Del's daughter and then have not one of the characters willing to adopt her, willing to take her in, willing to support her financially or willing to find her a suitable home. Unforgivable and unredeemable. One episode ruined future episodes ( I no longer watch Private Practice, but have learned that The Mentalist is on at the same time.), and even all previous episodes as the history of the characters did not come into play in this episode in any way. It was horrendous. There has been no move to fix this and make the characters repent for being hideous and inhuman. Why would anyone choose to waste an hour on these characters? In any case . where is the place to unlike every actor, character, writer and episode in this series? Is there a People's Choice Award for worst decision by a writer and producer? This one should win.

Classic Porn: Powertool
Jeff Stryker, whose good looks suggested long hours at the gym and sweaty locker-room fucks afterward, was the stuff of many an erotic dream for an entire generation of gay men and quite a few straight women. For Stryker, gender meant nothing when it came to sexual attraction and he remains an admitted "try-sexual" to this day, even years after his last performance in a porno. It's pretty much impossible to overstate the size of his… legend in the adult industry. Oh, and the man has a pretty damned impressive cock as well, and you too can have a replica thanks to the iconic Jeff Stryker Dildo that has been a bestseller ever since it hit the shelves.
Why bring all this up in a review of this movie? Well, if you're part of the younger porn-viewing generation, then chances are you never got the chance to watch Jeff Stryker become a gay pop culture sensation seemingly overnight thanks to "Powertool." This is one of the bestselling gay porn titles ever, and pretty much universally considered Jeff's most memorable film. Catalina brings you the 20th anniversary edition of this essential pre-condom classic on VOD.
Sent to jail for some unnamed offense, Jeff quickly adapts to his surroundings. Guard Tony Bravo gets him to strip and spread his ass cheeks, so we get a good look at Jeff's never-fucked asshole. (Oh, to be the one to penetrate that most prized tunnel!) His first night in the joint, he jerks off while watching his across-the-way cellblock neighbors have a somewhat hostile suck and fuck. You see, John Davenport's girlfriend has just ripped out his heart in a letter by dumping him and announcing her upcoming marriage to some other guy, and his cellmate Michael Gere picks the wrong time to be nosy about what was in that letter. So instead of answering, John decides to fuck the hell out of Michael's throat and asshole. There's a reason Michael has the bottom bunk.
The next scene shows Jeff trading two cartons of cigarettes with another Jeff – Jeff Converse – in exchange for a ride on Stryker's cock. Their stolen rendezvous in the broom closet is definitely worth the steep cost!
One of the movie's best scenes happens not to involve Jeff Stryker at all. It's one of the oldest porno clichés, the prison sex scene in the shower, but you won't mind that it's something you've seen done before. Tony Marino, Tom Mitchell, and Gary Owen are all hot and horny guys and it's exciting to watch their slippery, soapy threeway – most of all when Gary takes both cocks up his ass!
Jeff Stryker and the guard, Tony Bravo, finally act on the sexual tension that was apparent between them right from the start of the movie. Tony visits Jeff in his cell and issues a challenge to fuck him up the ass. Jeff is more than up to the task, bending the guard over and giving him that big, stiff dick nice and deep. As he so often did, Jeff commands his bottom to "tighten that ass!" and we can be sure it was a snug fit, judging by the load that Jeff shoots at the end.
While Jeff has been in jail, his lover Danny Russo has been satisfying his lonely urges with Brian Estevez, a boyish, freckled '80s cutie who went by many names. When Jeff is let out early for "good behavior" (with the guard, we presume), he catches Danny fucking Brian and decides it's time to move on. But don't worry about Jeff's broken heart. He picks up a new plaything literally on his way out, but we'll just have to let our imaginations run wild with what might have gone down in this unseen fuck.
In a bonus scene, we do get a nice long look at Jeff showing off his goods in a solo that wasn't part of the original release. He works out, giving us plenty of beauty shots of that magnificent body, before a long shower sequence and finally a masturbation scene that will thrill any Stryker fan.

A co-worker remembered
|Vicki Russell, who worked as assistant to Dr. Jeffrey A. Rossmann, chair of the periodontics department, passed away June 25. She is shown here decked out in Harley-Davidson colors, some of her favorite.
Russell's wry sense of humor, no-nonsense persona will be missed in periodontics department
Vicki Russell may have kept a low profile around Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry, but to those who worked with her in the Department of Periodontics, her no-nonsense attitude and wry sense of humor added spice to any day.
Russell, who was an employee of the college since 2004 and most recently worked as assistant to the department head in periodontics, passed away June 25. Throughout the summer days that have followed, Russell's colleagues in the department have taken pause to remember the woman who loved riding motorcycles and could make anyone around her feel good.
Among their favorite memories is a special photograph given to Russell by Dr. Terry Rees, professor and director of stomatology.
"Vicki was always very dedicated to both motorcycles and to NASCAR racing," Rees says. "Her favorite race-car driver was Jeff Gordon. Once my wife, Bo, and I were traveling in NASCAR country and found a life-size cardboard image of Jeff Gordon in his racing regalia. There was another headless cardboard image adjacent to him into which one inserted his/her face. I did this and gave it to Vicki. She had it framed and kept it in her office for many years.
"Since I am short, my head inserted into the cardboard cutout left me without a visible neck and we always called the picture 'Jeff and No-Neck,'" Rees continues. "She didn't mind because her racecar guy was in the picture!"
|Russell was known for her passion for all things
motorcycles and Harley-Davidson.
Dr. Jeffrey Rossmann, professor and chair of the periodontics department, recalls Russell's love of shot glasses from exotic locales.
"I will remember her efficiency,
her no-nonsensical mannerisms,
her wry sense of humor, her love of life."
— Dr. Celeste Abraham
"Vicki was a collector of shot glasses from around the world and took pride in vicariously sharing the travel experience with the people presenting their mementos to her from their trips," Rossmann says. "She had accumulated a large collection of shot glasses from all corners of the earth, mostly given to her from our faculty travels. I think she enjoyed displaying them as much as the people who traveled to get them."
One thing was for sure — Russell always made sure her colleagues knew her likes and dislikes. Among her least favorite things were needles and chocolate cake.
"We would all get tickled when Vicki was in earshot of anyone talking about needles. She dreaded needles!" says Jennifer Rabal, patient appointment associate in periodontics. "Her response was always the same and I can hear her voice now. 'Ooooohhhh, noooo … I couldn't do that.' It was so comical to see her and hear her!"
April Matthews, also a patient appointment associate in periodontics and a friend of Russell's, says she was never in the dark when it came to knowing which cake to make for Russell for their yearly cake exchange.
"One of the things I will always remember about my friend Vicki was she did not like chocolate. Among Jennifer Rabal, Vicki and me, we had a birthday cake exchange for one another every year," Matthews says. "For the past several years I would make Vicki a homemade carrot cake. Vicki would have celebrated a birthday in August and I will miss not making that special cake this year."
One of the things Matthews remembers most vividly is Russell periodically huddling up to the PAAs' space heater to warm up, chat and just be with her colleagues, even though she had a heater of her own just feet away, tucked near her desk.
Her knack for humor wasn't lost on anyone.
"I brought back several black and pink 'Front Desk Goddess' pins from the Southwest Dental Conference one year," recalls Angela Lee-Noles, surgical assistant in periodontics. "Vicki put up the pin I gave her immediately on her wall. She will always be remembered as my first 'Front Desk Goddess!'"
In addition to Russell's straightforward, tell-it-like-it-is persona were other traits much appreciated by department colleagues.
"Vicki was ready and willing to assist me with anything at all in the department," says Dr. Celeste Abraham, assistant professor in periodontics. "I will remember her efficiency, her no-nonsensical mannerisms, her wry sense of humor, her love of life."
Denise Frazier, who works as a dental dispensing technician I in clinical affairs, says Russell's willingness to help sticks out most in her mind. But what Frazier will miss more than anything is Russell's caring spirit.
Others echo that thought.
"She was very helpful to me," says Arlene Jackson, dental dispensing technician I in clinical affairs. "When my grandson came to visit me at work, he would always go to Vicki first and give her a hug. I will miss her smile. She always said 'girl' to me and that made me feel good. Whenever there was an event, she always made sure I was included."
Dr. Matt Heaton, who earned his dental degree from TAMHSC-BCD in 2004 and completed a periodontics residency at the college in 2007, remembers how Russell helped him during those years.
"Having known her from my senior year in pre-doc through my years in the perio department, she was something like a big sister: always looking out for her charges, pulling strings when appropriate, but not afraid to smack you on the head when you did something stupid!" Heaton recalls. "She always had a special place in my heart, and I will miss her dearly."
