Folsom Field Ranked as Second-Best Venue in College Football


Dr. Steven Armus founded Dermatology Consultants of Wisconsin in 2012. Prior to receiving a doctor of medicine from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he earned a bachelor's degree in environmental, organism, and population biology from the University of Colorado Boulder. Steven Armus is still a fan of the University of Colorado Buffaloes football team.

The Buffaloes have played in Folsom Field since 1924, but the 50,183-seat stadium is far from outdated. According to a survey by StadiumJourney.com, Folsom Field is the second-best venue among NCAA football teams in regard to stadium experience. 

The StadiumJourney.com list of the Top 100 Stadium Experiences of 2017 ranked Folsom Field 11th overall among all venues used by college and professional sports teams. Folsom Field was also the highest-ranked venue in Colorado, ahead of the Colorado Rockies’ Coors Field, which ranked 14th on the list, and the Denver Broncos' Mile High Stadium, which ranked 74th. StadiumJourney.com cited Folsom Field's location and setting as major factors for its high ranking.

Woodlands and Prairie Preservation Efforts in Milwaukee County


Dr. Steven Armus is a respected presence in the Wisconsin skin care sphere who guides a practice that has been voted as Best Dermatology Practice in Milwaukee. Passionate about conserving and protecting the natural environment, Dr. Steven Armus also guides Prairie Restoration and focuses on propagating native vegetation within local areas that provide a home to wildlife. 

One of the organizations helping safeguard prairie habitat in the critical suburban/rural interface is the Milwaukee Area Land Conservancy (MALC). The efforts of the organization focus on a county in which virtually all oak savanna and prairie habitat, and more than 90 percent of natural vegetation, have been lost. 

Among MALC’s holdings is the 22.5 acre Mayer property conservation easement in Franklin, which encompasses portions of the Root River tributary Ryan Creek and encompasses hickory and white oak woodland. Another key holding is the Parade of Homes-Prairie Grass Preserve, which encompasses 23 acres and is one of the few unplowed prairie areas within Milwaukee County. Created in 2005 in tandem with a local developer, the southeastern Wisconsin preserve is open for viewing and educational use.

Spa Trends Informed by Technology and the Natural World


Based in Wisconsin, Dr. Steven Armus guides Native Prairie Restoration as founder and owner and has assisted local property owners in creating thriving landscapes that feature native vegetation. Formerly in the dermatology business, Dr. Steven Armus enjoys exploring new trends in spas when he travels to scenic destinations ranging from Mexico to Hawaii. 

Spa trends begin with a growing focus on “wellness architecture” that incorporates functional and sustainable materials, while combining natural elements, such as plants and flowers, as part of the overall design. 

Hand-in-hand with this organic component comes an increased use of technologies in enhancing traditional spa offerings. These include instruments capable of measuring diverse aspects of body composition, from skin pH to the microbiome, when tailoring services to specific goals, such as anti-aging. Treatments such as non-surgical facelifts and collagen facials are then tailored to individual needs and preferences. 

In addition, DNA analysis has come to the forefront as a way of delving deep into the role of genes within health and physiological tendencies. This analysis can inform the treatment program best suited for the individual in ways that generate optimal results.

Growing Orchids in the Home


A physician and business owner based in Franksville, Wisconsin, Dr. Steven Armus oversees a dermatology practice in addition to operating Native Prairie Restoration, a company that helps residential and commercial clients restore ponds and prairies to their native state. In his free time, Dr. Steven Armus applies his love of the natural world to pursuits such as gardening and orchid growing. 

Admired for their exotic beauty and abundant varieties, orchids are the world’s largest family of flowering plants. According to the American Orchid Society, at least 20,000 orchid species and approximately 100,000 orchid hybrids exist. In nature, the flowers can be found throughout the world, but they are especially abundant in the tropics. 

Although they have a reputation for being difficult to grow, many orchid varieties are adaptable and relatively easy to cultivate in the home. Unlike other houseplants, however, the majority of orchids do not live in soil, so finding the right growing medium is essential. The specific growing medium should be based on the orchid type, but in general, they can do well in pots filled with moss, stones, lava rocks, or bark. 

Along with finding the right growing material, cultivating orchids that thrive and flower requires the correct balance of light, temperature, and moisture. They typically do best in bright and humid areas with mild average temperatures of between 55 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Orchids also require regular watering, but growers should allow their growing medium to dry out somewhat in between waterings.
