Schools are terrible places for children.
In the name of civilization we lock up our children for seven to twelve hours each weekday..subjecting them to experiences that mark them for the rest of their lives...the least we could do is give them a fair chance and give them school when they have a choice, in college, where they can defend themselves.

Mar 10 2013: Because some of us want to make something of our lives, and i have yet to find a single, sucesful person, who said theyre education was worthless (k-12 grades). Because without education, we are nothing. Thats why we make children go to school.

Mar 10 2013: It's not the popular thing to say. But you are right, Josh, that not very many educated people wish they hadn't gotten their educations. While people talk each other into the idea that schooling is worthless, those quietly getting a serious education, even when it is challenging and every day isn't full of praises, are the ones who will have the skills and insights to push the frontiers of their fields.

Mar 10 2013: I got very little education in public school. It is a terrible place! It is set up to be a mold in which to squash the creative thinking of little children into the mold of the current dominant culture.
Fortunately good things can be found in school. Good teachers, resources, good friends....but school itself is set up to fulfill a need the world no longer has.
Education and school are not the same thing!
Mar 10 2013: Sorry you had such a bad experience, Linda. It does vary so much from school to school.
. .
Mar 15 2013: A good education is essential for life. This talk by Shane does touch upon a very important issue. Improvements need to be made EVERYWHERE because school is not the only place this happens. But schools are the best place for START implementing anti-bullying systems.

Mar 16 2013: Thank you, Juliette. There is indeed lots of room for improvement in schools to make sure they reach students who have different learning needs. But people's fixed images of what schools are is often tied very tightly to their particular schooling experiences and how well they personally were able to learn from the particular resources at hand.
In fact schools vary widely in the pedagogies they have in place and even in how students are treated. Many assumptions ignore the variety. Some students learn easily in a variety of contexts and others shut down at the smallest obstacle.
I agree that there is no place for bullying or intimidation in schools.

Many schools in many places have systems that are not fully beneficial for the student to properly grow and learn as education is supposed to do. And all have ranking and hierarchal systems that make our students have struggle for competition and an innate hatred and contempt for those who do better. I am a student myself and I feel both worthless and angry when I see myself not receiving the marks I believe I could get. School is subjective; that is one of the major problems. The teacher decides upon the lessons and the things that are right, so students who find ther own way to do things, to come up with answers that work and solutions that are easier, are shot down for the traditional and "Scholarly" methods. Children beside other children are savages; we all are when young. We have no filter, no sense of morality, and no knowledge the effects we have on others. We simply see and react; often in horrible ways of supporting the alpha who makes the beta inferior and lets him or her know it.
However, the ida of a forced education is not terrible. Hobbes said that without some social order, we would descend into unending conflict steming from greed and ignorance. This is true. This is partially the reason for higher crime rates in uneducated areas; they do what it takes to survive because society prevents them the luxury of living. Education, in our world, is the tool for life. No one has ever found a negative to education, simply to schools and people. Mostly people. We have to learn a bit of everything because the world is not two-dimensional. We cannot find work that requires only algebra, only chemistry, only writing, only speaking; they intermingle freely. That is partially why college fails, unlike you presume. We are taught singularly but the would is a place of multiples.
School is NOT terrible. It is a benevolent idea, it has no capacity to be good or bad. We make it so.Mar 11 2013: I have mixed feelings on your post. You begin with "we lock up our children for seven to twelve hours each weekday". By this harsh verbiage this would imply that they are somehow criminals. This is truly not the case. In reality most children in civilized society are required to go to school but it is not to punish them. While in some cases just that occurs, it is not because of intent, it is because of outside and inside forces at work. These include teachers who have lost their way, for students who for some reason do not understand that they are talking to another, just as frustrated, human being, or for administrators that have lost track of the reason that they are there – to facilitate education and to provide a safe environment for them to learn.
I agree that they are being subjected "to experiences that mark them for the rest of their lives" These are both positive and negative experiences. I, myself, was subject to many negative experiences while growing up. These many times were not because of anything that I did, or anything that I was, but just because I was. Does that mean that these unfortunate experiences marked me? – YES! Does that mean that I should let them define my existence? No. But they do because it was part of my past and part of what made me who I am today.
There are cases where our students are not given a chance. These are failures for many. These include failures by the student themselves, their parents, the school educators and administrators, and society as a whole. One cannot pin it all onto one party. But as a society it is our job to first see a problem and then to fix it. I feel that it will not be something that will change overnight, but it must change.
There are many that just like Shane, who have frustration in their past. They cannot allow their past to define their future. That is what he is talking about. We have survived, we have thrived both because of what happened and in spite of it.

I do agree that schools foster more abuse and trauma than learning or "social development." Regardless of the anti-bullying hype, the truth is that most schools don't do anything until a kid commits suicide. Then they mourn for a few weeks and act like things are going to change, but never actually take action to ensure that it does. I find this sickening to even admit, but the truth is, anti-bullying is a fad. We're all lifesaving heroes who are going to make a difference in the world for a few weeks after something horrible happens, but once the media finds a new story, nobody cares anymore.
The most they'll do is run a nice little seminar or two. An inspirational speaker will visit the school and talk to the student body about the importance of loving each other, and as pretty as their words are, they don't do jack. I've sat through many such school assemblies and you know how much change I saw in my school? None. The only people who actually took something from the speech were those who weren't bullies anyway.
Kids don't respond to kindness or flowery inspirational speeches, they respond to fear and to punishment. My school claimed to have a zero-tolerance bullying policy and I only wish they had actually stood behind it. Bullying should be punishable by expulsion. No lectures, no assemblies, no "kids will be kids", one strike and you are out. Maybe that will teach children to respect other human beings instead of putting them through so much emotional torture that they either commit suicide or go through the rest of their life bearing the mental and maybe even physical scars of the abuse.
It's not a small matter, and it isn't a joke. So why do we treat it as something that can be fixed with a slap on the wrist?Mar 11 2013: I think it depends. Sometime schools help you unlock your full potential, but sometimes it may not.

Mar 11 2013: Saying school is a "terrible place" may be a little extreme.

I agree with you that children should have more choice in what they get to learn, but the idea that K-12 schooling as a whole is terrible is definitely untrue.
The point of "forcing" kids to learn certain subjects when they are in middle and high school is for them to find their passions. How is one supposed to choose what they want to learn if they haven't been exposed to anything to choose from? There are some that realize they wish to go into the arts or science very young and they can choose specialized schools for that, but for the rest of the general population, "forced subjects" are needed.
It is a shame however that grades are so important for one to get into college or seem intelligent, because the point really should be to learn rather than get a certain mark or appear well versed in everything. This is a factor I also have big problem with.
As far as the social aspects of schooling making schooling terrible, bullies exist no matter where you go. They move from school hallways to high rise buildings, laboratories, etc. I'm not saying it is okay at all for children to experience bullying in schooling, but I'm simply saying that it shouldn't be the sole reason why kids shouldn't be forced to go to school since they will unfortunately experience it nearly everywhere no matter what they do.

You might be interested in the masai people of kenya, they have done away with school, they do live very simply in dung huts, everybody herds cattle and they live on milk and beef. When you live simply like that, you might not need school.Mar 10 2013: It is necessary for children to attend school, until they get adequate exposure about world out there. however, they too have to join the race.. Education should be in such a manner where pupils could interact and explore their ideas. whereby achieving the best outcome and could run the race smoother. so no matter, if its college or school... after all they only build the base, rest all we need to construct.. 'its better to be always a positive thinker'.Mar 10 2013: Sharon,
It seems like you are making a very broad statement, and I do not agree that "schools are terrible places for children". It depends on the school, the teachers, the parents, and the children. We all learn differently. I prefer hands on learning, and while I was impatient with the classroom setting, I cannot say that it was a "terrible place". Many people prefer classrooms, the structure of formal education, and thrive in that environment. Education in all forms can always be tweaked and improved:>)Mar 10 2013: They are, certainly. First the children need to come to it, schools don't go to children. Next, they are forced to come to it while there are highly interesting things happening everywhere, butterflies fly over flowers, clouds make bears and lions in the sky, skateboards beg to be ridden, grannies stories need to be listened to. It sucks when you are sent to school.
The whole things is so adultly boring. There is nothing other than chairs to sit, nothing other than same books to read and the most terrible thing is you cannot just leave and go home or play.
And you know what, everybody reads the same book!
Children have no rights. So unfair.
Raam Anand
Mar 10 2013: It depends on the where the schools are... (that you are referring). I had a great schooling time, and I still have contact with my elementary/high school teachers, who played key roles in shaping my present (and future). The one thing that I agree with you might be what people do in schools. Nowadays, it's not the teachers nor the children that are important in schools --- it is rather focused at pleasing parents. Children are pounded with new things to learn and remember, when technology is making "fact-based-learning" obsolete. Before the advent of the Internet (in it's current form), schools were teaching children to "remember" facts and reproduce those facts in examinations. Now, Google can do all that. So, you idea is... when you can have a device that can remember all the facts, then why put years of effort on learning just a small portion of it? Instead, schools can teach children CREATIVITY -- how to make use of the information available to create new things -- in other innovation.

Thank you.
Susan Brooks
Mar 10 2013: While I'm a fan of your post in general, we still come across the problem that you can find "fake facts" on the internet. It's sad when we live in a day and age where we so often confuse fact and fiction, but there you go. Evidenced by the extraordinarily large number of people in the US who think global warming is a myth made up by scientists to get everyone to be nice to the environment. They can even find you websites that support their theory. We've gotta learn some small portion of facts, so that we can understand and learn to spot these "fake facts." I think the inability to see BS for BS is a big part of Americas problem right now, and when we rely on google or internet solely for these facts, there is no way to gauge how much of it is BS.

Mar 10 2013: I'm a sophomore right now, and I am in between both of you. Josh is exclaiming that we must have the basic fundamentals to carry on in life, which I don't deny. However, Sharon, I can also see where your point is striving from. Right now, I'm learning in History the beginning of WWII, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, along with the thoughts running through General Kuribachi's mind. In Math, I'm learning how to divide, along with graphing, polynomials. In Science, I'm learning about the periodic table, and how to establish a polar compound versus a non-polar compound with the molar ratios. In English, We just finished reading Flags of Our Fathers, guiding us through the details of James Bradley, and his father's importance on the battle of Iwo Jima. I tend to think of myself as a young entrepreneur, as I brainstorm many ideas, along with the ability to share them through the employees of IBM. I am also really talented with numbers, which applies with my future job, an accountant, working for a friend of mine. From History, Iv'e learned that over time, history tends to repeat itself. In Science, I've learned how to propose a problem, and find a solution. In math, Iv'e learned how to solve different problems, which can be applied to day-to-day situations. In English, I've learned how to write in different formats and read thoroughly. But to be honest, Math is the only subject I look forward to every day. I have fun, and it's entertaining. In Science, I'm struggling with molar ratios and solubility ratios, which is dropping my GPA. In English, I have worked my ass of trying to finish a scrapbook on Harlon Block, a character in Flags of Our Fathers. While doing all of the work, missing track practices, and spending 60 dollars on supplies, I only received an 80 percent while my partner received an 85 percent, which dropped my GPA. My point is, I have a 96 percent in Algebra 2, while having lower grades in the rest of my classes, which affects my GPA. I feel I'm waisting time

Mar 15 2013: Sounds like you a great student. You are not wasting time!! You are doing the right things. Smarts means nothing without kindness. Finish school. Aim for a future in which you can walk more down the path called math :-) ( I can tell from your story that road has your name on it:-) I hope everyone at your school is watching TED Talks together and discussing them in class. And I am sure your teachers will become aware that when they create teams and partnerships of students, all team members get to share the same grade. Can you imagine team USA at the Olympics winning gold, but half of them be handed silver and bronze. I loved school and I loved my teachers. Keep going Chase!!Mar 26 2013: I agree - I think a lot of the alternatve schooling systems (although people joke about homeschooled) are probably a lot better. I used to skive off a lot of school - not because I was dumb, but because I was bored. I think I was pretty bright, but also bright enough to know that working for a A grade average wasn't really worth it. Happy being a B/C student...and spending time at home doing my own thing.

Certainly if the school had been better at encouraging creativity - rather than being a place of bullying, nasty teachers and mostly people who just didn't want to be there (and that was just the teachers) I'd probably have thrived better - certainly Foundation & University were better, although still academe has a real problem with myopic administration and resistance to new ideas...(ask my partner, an ex-Reader about that!)
I mostly taught myself how to think by reading and questioning the world and adults. School was never about thinking, it was about conforming. Later education was more about thinking, but ironic as by then the damage is done, and no-one wants to break-out. Or even see why they should?
You can blame it on the school, but it was a good school in a good area, very middle class. But it had no real soul, no art, no creativity and certainly I can say 95% of what I was taught I've either found to be actually wrong, useless or unhelpful. I get more education reading or talking to friends and partners and debating ideas than I ever did at school which was all about passing tests. Nothing more.
I envy those other systems where you get to choose - in fact one of those early expermental schools - Peper Harrow was near where this school was. Sadly never got that far.Mar 16 2013: Some really interesting points made, many of which i agree with!.But i do believe schools offer us much more than education! i would like to point out that at school i found life long friends, i discovered so much about the uniqueness of life, emotions and social situations, not from my teachers but from my friends and fellow class members. I also discovered love and beauty found in people and art and also developed respect and courtesy for myself and others. Yes i believe that schools can, and a lot of the time do dictate and project onto us the way they think we should act,learn and experience. But i believe at schools the interaction we have with our friends and pupils teach so much more about life than the teachers and the subjects will ever teach us. And yes to to an extent i agree with the qoute by Pabitra Mukhopadhyay that "children are taught by parents and peers to be future scientist, doctor or engineer - not an artist, a musician or a writer because these are 'risky' professions", but ultimately we reject this, the proof being we have writers and musicians. And i believe this shows for many, we ultimately learn to make or own choices and reject those that are pushed upon us. Thus through social interactions with classmates we can find inspiration, enthusiasm and valuable lessons to learn. So i guess in a round about way we still very much teach ourself.
Mar 27 2013: You may have been on the other end of the "peer group foodchain". I myself was stuck in the middle. I do not know how old you are nor do I know you as a person. But just because YOU didn't go through any hardship doesn't mean others didn't. Even your friends could have been the ones to inflict life long psychological harm to another without you even knowing or remembering. Does knowing that your friends which are so kind and loving to you had the potential to cause another the emotional pain which could quite possibly drive them to self-harm or even suicide make you still feel that school is a good place? im currently 18 years of age and live in Australia. Our education system works where primary school is done for 7 years and highschool is followed for a further 6. I dropped out at year 10. Why? because i was unhappy and little did i know i was suffering from depression for 3 of my highschool years. Bullying has caused me to resent myself not only for the way I appear but also for how I tried to conform just to fit in and avoid the harsh comments. I became a dickhead to try and sway their hate from me. I look back at the last 6 years and think, "Wow, i made the right choice. i can't believe how terrible that school was". I'm currently going down a different educational path and i have enrolled in a Diploma of graphic design course. BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE. Everyone there keeps to themself. No need for hate or violence because we just want to do our work and leave. And going from highschool and trying to just fit in and survive, i have gone to further study and being myself with my friends. So long story short. Just because YOU have a great time in highschool doesn't mean that everybody else feels the same way.
I'm not saying I disagree with you I'm just saying that you should try to look at things from a victims shoes...
Mar 27 2013: alex i am truly sorry if i have offended or annoyed you with my post, but at no point did i argue that people dont go through hardship and that everyone does have a good time in school that was not my argument at all. I was responding to those earlier on in this thread who discussed schools are worthless because they force upon us what they want and i was offering a point of view that there can be more to school than education. I really wasn't talking about peer groups, bullying etc. im sorry that you had such a rough ride its sad to hear,and sadly its common story, but im very glad you have found your path!!!Good luck courseMar 27 2013: im meant to say ...good luck with the course
Apr 1 2013: its just how it came across to me as. I apologise if i have gone a little overboard, its just that this topic is one I feel quite strongly about.Mar 11 2013: Let me share the Indian nightmare.
Before a baby is born the parents flock the schools, learn the nursery rhymes that the babies never hear from their parents or grand parents in their native languages and plan life for the contingency. From as young as 2 years they are taken to play schools where half qualified unprofessional teachers systematically impair children's imagination, spontaneity and free mental growth.
Then right from junior school children are taught by parents and peers to be future scientist, doctor or engineer - not an artist, a musician or a writer because these are 'risky' professions. The society cares a toot what the child wants.
Into the senior school or grad study the child is already a edu-bot who is well trained to be a servant. For enlightened educated youth of India, working a job is all that matters and entrepreneurship is a big no-no.
If a child survives the Indian Education system till the age of 24/25 the youth has an ego as high and static as the Everest and a keenness to conform almost to the point of obsession.
Indian students are so intelligent that their brightness can only be properly appreciated in the USA or Europe and half billion near illiterate rural population are just not worthy enough of that brilliance.
I hope Random Chance can take it a little less hard on his fellow men.
Mar 13 2013: Pabitra,
could you please explain your comment,"I hope Random Chance can take it a little less hard on his fellow men."
I'm not sure I understand to what you are referring.
To me it seems that we are both saying the same thing, as you call yours, "the Indian nightmare."
I may seem harsh but at times being honest and telling the truth is harsh.
It is only humans who put good and bad with truth, when truth is simply the truth.
It is still. The Truth.
But, at times, the Truth,
can be so ruthless, it appears truthless,
But it is still the Truth.
As George Orwell said, "
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
I do strongly believe being successful in school in America is really about learning how to be successful in a corrupt system and that has to lead to becoming corrupt as an individual.
That is just about the only way to be successful in such a system.
There are less options every year for average folk to survive, grow and prosper, in safety, freedom, privacy and community. Today it is all about spying, training, specializing and so on.
Where do you and I differ? Or do we? Maybe I am more dense than even I know.
Mar 13 2013: Of course I will.
I mean to say that your countrymen are not alone as far as affected by a questionable education system, Indians, I feel, are suffering too.
In essence we don't differ at all.Mar 11 2013: Since they have to go, are forced to,
and they are brainwashed into what to believe and how to behave,
and educated in how to be successful in a corrupt system as opposed to
being taught how to change or eliminate that corrupt system,
then yes, they are horrible places for children.
But, their parents have been so thoroughly brainwashed and threatened into subservience,
that they will readily crow, "it's for the good of the children."
They say that about most all the methods they use to abuse the psyches of their young children,
beginning with religious upbringings and belief in entities that don't exist.
Amerikans are big on teaching and passing on neurosis.
They start with the Tooth Fairy, move on to the Easter Bunny, A big pumpkin, Santa Claus,
Cupid and eventually the big one - God.
Fits right in with everything that is happening today, being spied on 24/7 as in God is always watching you.
And like little children, the parents do nothing when their kids are molested by TSA agents while they are being trained
(educated) in what life will be like for them in the new Nazi Fascist Regime called Amerika.
It's all for the good of the children so I would think your comments about school are a bit harsh.
Let's not look at the reality of what is really happening.
Some call that optimism instead of wanting the truth.
Mar 11 2013: Your point is unsupported. Children's psyches are not necessarily abused though I do agree they are brainwashed. It's not fair to look at religion as a cause of the problems because atheism and secularism can cause the same brainwashing but with the implications that life has no purpose other than living it. Religion, though I do not partake, can provide children with hope and joy if introduced and used properly (to say that there is someone or something out there that loves them fully and will forgive their mistakes). "Molested by TSA agents;" harsh to say the least but more false than true. Teachers and administrators are not government spies and many generally do care to educate, not school mind you but educate, and give people a chance. Yes education is biased; most things are. But at least it is gives children something to think about and ultimately, if school does its job, interpret for their own gain and understanding.
What you call wanting for truth I feel is more pushing a conspiracy that has only few of it's points proven.
Mar 15 2013: Joseph.
You do not consider brainwashing abuse? Why not?
It is lying and lying turns a person against themselves, against their own instincts and senses, those very things we have complete when we are born, before they are abused by others.
Babies and young children lack experience in how to use and gain trust in their own senses and instincts, which they are supposed to be able to trust. Turning a child against that is abuse.
Consider: an animal that doesn't trust its own instincts will perish and will perish very soon as food for another animal.
The human that doesn't trust its own instincts will become mentally ill and may go insane eventually.
When you take a child's psyche and split it from itself, you are splitting the child from themselves and I consider that extreme child abuse.
You said religion can provide children with hope but hope is another false concept among many that Americans worship. Believing in and worshiping lies (neurosis) is to be mentally ill. Why one would do such a thing is based in a society that is also sick.
"Molested by TSA agents" is not harsh at all. That is exactly what has happened and will continue to happen. May I frisk your young children, please?" They may exhibit terrorist features that I need to thoroughly check on, without you protecting them. Imagine how that also abuses the child who undergoes it and those who witness it? They are learning what Fascism is like, what it looks like and how it will feel.
You end with: "What you call wanting for truth I feel is more pushing a conspiracy that has only few of it's points proven."
Quote George Bush: "We cannot wait for the final proof." Well, we got the final proof. There never were any WMD's. Never. I do not trust any thing any authority says today, unless they prove it. If you do, then I think you are a willing fool who does not want, nor value truth because of what it means and what it demands: action, change.
With people in America, who think as you do, they are doomed. IMHO
Mar 16 2013: Okay. Since you clearly know all the problems, how do we fix it? What, if anything, in your pessimistic opinion can we do?Mar 10 2013: Sharon, I can neither defend or deny your statement that schools are terrible places for children nor will I try. However, I do believe that it is easier to build on "good" information / habits that it would be to "unteach" bad information / habits. Say, as an example that at home you are taught that blonds have more fun and redheads like to fight, and other generalizations ... You have been taught this from your youth until you go to college, as Sharon has suggested, this is where you begin your education. How long would it take to convience you that all you have learned is wrong and now surplant it with correct information.
When new electronics come out my grandkids pick it up almost immediately while I at a older age struggle. They have less obstructions to learning such as preconcieved notions. If I introduced English, Spanish, and French into the house and you are exposed to them at birth ... you would speak all three. However if I bring them into your home at your age of seventy it would be a hard task indeed to learn all three languages.
By waiting until college age to begin the process we would impose a handicap that would be extremely difficult to overcome.
Schools are neither good or bad. Schools simply provide instructors that expose you to an opportunity to learn. We each have good and bad experiences associated with schools. It is what we make of the opportunities that decide who we become and what we make of ourselves. Blaming schools or others for our woes is not a resolution. We are the masters of our fate.
I wish you well. Bob.Mar 10 2013: sir, i need to ask you a question.??

Fantastic little addition at Christmas
By Rebecca

About Me Quality Oriented
I have been putting these in my Christmas cards for over 25 years or more and they are loved by family and friends who look forward to them...Great little extra with the card to put in a purse, in a cubicle, on the visor, anywhere at all that a calendar of smaller size could be useful.....I buy them every single year and have no intention of stopping!! Love them!
Perfect give-away
By Organization pres
from Jacksonville, NC
I purchased this item to hand out to people interested in the meeting dates of our civic organization. We marked the meeting dates on each calendar and told people to stick them inside their date book. They are great reminders for our own members as well.
I bought 500 of these calendars for our office. We always have pens and letter openers to offer our client's and these tie in beautifully. It is a great way to advertise. So far the review's we have received is that our clients love them. Very pleased with this purchase will order more.
Great for Chrismas Cards
By Maybeso
from Linden, NY
To be sure my Christmas Cards carry Scriptural messages, I include these calendars with a Bible verse portion printed in place of name, address, etc. I can get my point across, but it's a practical gift too.
Use as a business card
By Kathy
from Norman, OK
Adult day Care is a growing industry as more people live longer. A nursing home or other expensive alternatives are out of the question and dreaded by both family and the elderly. Adult day care is a 1/3 of a nursing home, provides activities, socialization, nursing careand best of all they go home to sleep in their own bed. This card gives caregivers a glimpse of a less expensive alternative.
A Must Have!
By Arlenedoll

See a year at a glance.Great for business all year long.Perfect size to take along.
The "Sticky-Calendar" is the best!
By Jody
from Highland, California
I have used these calendars every year for many years. My clients love them and so do I. I have several around the house, in notebooks, on desks and one stuck to my wallet. (much better than the calendars you get with your checkbooks)

Title: Unfeasible Voyage - part 1
Date: January 5, 2007
Summary: Steve prepares to help poorly Beaver with new inventions
Onomatopoeias used: "FEVER", "KA ZAP", "CRAASH", "GRO-O-O-OW!"
Number of panels: 6
Panel 1
Beaver has a thermometer in his mouth, a maroon scarf and a blue compress on his head. He has a FEVER.
Beaver: "Sniff! Oh Steve I have a dreadful cold!"
"I'll have to drink lots of fluid and get plenty of rest"
Steve: "Balderdash! I have a far simpler and more reliable remedy!"
Panel 2
Steve points to an atomic discombobulator and whale-like vessel with periscope.
Steve: "Utilizing this atomic discombobulator I will drive this conveniently located vessel into your body and root out the cold at its source. I'll be done quicker than you can say 'massive internal haemorrhage'."
Panel 3
Beaver: "You're going to shrink yourself down and then pilot a miniaturised submarine into my sinus cavity? I must say I'm not entirely comfortable with that scenario.."
Steve: "Shrink myself down? Honestly Beaver, I don't know where you come up with such ridiculous notions! Of course I'm not going to shrink myself down!"
Beaver: "Oh, that's a relief!"
Panel 4
Steve stands behind the atomic discombobulator, operating red and blue levers.
Steve: "Now stay very still..."
The atomic discombobulator goes KA ZAPP
Beaver: "Gah! Steve! What are you doing??"
Steve: "Don't worry, the apparatus has been thoroughly tested..."
Panel 5
Six test subjects are shown.
Test subject #1 is a rabbit with a very large head.
Test subject #12 is a rabbit with very large eyes and teeth.
Test subject #26 has four tentacles and three eyes.
Test subject #43 has a pineapple for a head.
Test subject #118 levitates, surrounded by a yellow crackling aura and floating eyes.
Test subject #231 is a steaming puddle of goo.
Panel 6
Beaver GRO-O-O-OW!s up through the roof - only his lower body, tail and legs are visible.
Steve: "You may experience some discomfort during the atomic discombobulation process..."
Beaver: "Oh, the unimaginable pain!"
Steve: Maybe I should have done this outside..."
Beaver: "Ooh, the attic is filthy... Akh! Further pain!"

HaloLink™ Resin provides a new method for specific, covalent and oriented immobilization of proteins onto surfaces. The strategy is based on the HaloTag® Protein, which is derived from a catalytically inactive hydrolase engineered to form a covalent bond with a specific ligand. Here we demonstrate the high binding capacity and minimal nonspecific binding of the HaloLink™ Resin. We also show that the covalent HaloTag® bond provides stability during dilution and stringent washing, minimizing the loss of the HaloTag® fusion proteins from the surface. By analyzing protein:protein interactions and enzyme activity for several fusion proteins, we also demonstrate that fusion proteins bound to the HaloLink™ Resin maintain functionality. HaloLink™ Resin is not a purification resin; however, in conjunction with protease cleavage, it can be used to isolate a protein of interest.

Recent Soft Shell Pant Reviews
Bergans Men's Tufto Pants
Except in the case of extreme cold or heat the Tufto Pants do everything I need pants to — from hiking and climbing to skiing and biking. Over the years I have gone from very low expectations for pants (wearing blue jeans in the mountains) to very high. I have gone from backpacker only to climber and minor mountaineer. Disambiguation: The term "Bergen" is a generic term for any military backpack in the U.K. The term was used to describe the backpack style favored by skiers in Bergen, Norway. … Full review
Patagonia Men's Alpine Guide Pants
Super comfortable and pretty close to indestructible. Combine that with Patagonia's dedication to sustainability and these pants are almost perfect. Cost is the drawback. First, this pant is so durable that the belt, closure, zipper and elastic will all give out long before the material. I've pitted it against decomposed granite, sharp objects, and the teeth on snowshoes without a hole or a snag. Tough, tough, tough! This is a great softshell pant for alpine ventures and winter sports activities. Full review
Mountain Hardwear Women's Winter Wander Pant
My favourite hiking pant! Try them, you won't be disappointed. I found these pants on sale a couple years ago and thought I would give them a try. Wow, sure glad I bought them. I absolutely love them! As they are named 'Winter Wander Pant' don't let that mislead you. Yes, they are great for winter as they are a little thicker than your average pant (as compared to the Marmot scree for ex.) but they are great for all year use when out hiking in the mountains. As we all know, it's not as warm in… Full review
Outdoor Research Women's Ferrosi Pants
My go-to for my first spring hike this season! Wooohooo, it's finally hiking season again! I've owned my OR Ferrosi Pants for a year now, and they have made me a very happy hiker! I can't say enough about OR's Ferrosi material. It's lightweight, breathable, and stretches to allow easy movement on steep hiking terrain. The Ferrosi Pants are a great option for spring hiking as they can be adjusted easily as the temperatures change. I appreciate having the full length of the pant on chilly mornings. Full review
La Sportiva Halo Pant
Breathable yet warm softshell pant well suited for backcounty skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing, or cold weather hiking. The La Sportiva Halo Pants have been a staple of my backcounty outerwear since receiving them in February. Features Out of the box I was impressed with the overall construction of the Halo pants. The material had an ample amount of stretch and there was a soft lining along the inside that was comfortable against the skin. La Sportiva included 5 pockets; 2 side zip closure, 2 front… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Ferrosi Pants
Excellent lightweight pants. The thinnest softshell pants I have seen, but a much more substantial feel than the wispy ultralight nylon pants. Some people use these over a baselayer in winter as well, as they are water repellent and wind resistant, but I have the Marmot Durango for that. Full review
Marmot Men's Scree Pant
These are fairly light so can be used in warmer weather. The factory DWR is very good but I haven't had them long enough to know how long it lasts. Good wind resistance and fast drying. Great in colder weather as they flex over a base layer well. Not insulated at all tho. Oops, I pretty much said it all in the summary. Full review
Patagonia Women's Northwall Pants
Very comfortable and warm! This pant has made my ice climbing season the BEST due to being warm and comfortable in our cold Midwest weather. Some complaints noted about the loops being off center for holding the bottom cuff in place to act as a gator. I rectified this by attaching bungy cord to the loops, this acts a gator and allows for easy knee movement. This year did not present me with wet climbing but I waterproofed these pants anyway. Full review
Salomon Women's Momentum II Soft Shell Pant
The Momentum Soft Shell pant has been my go-to for nordic skiing this season. I bought this pant at the beginning of the season for nordic skiing on groomed trails, but have enjoyed the Momentum in the backcountry as well! The flexible material allows for easy, unrestricted movement, and the fleece insulation is warm yet breathable. It also feels great against your skin. My favorite feature of this pant is the balance between wind protection and breathability. Climawind material is used only on… Full review

Dark Shadows
Horror, SciFi/Fantasy, Comedy
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. Two decades pass and Barnabas has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard. A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972.

Montgomery County Police have charged a man with reckless endangerment after he shot an AK-47 into the air in a Gaithersburg neighborhood Sunday.
Kenneth Wayne Barney Jr., 38, was also charged with discharging a firearm in an urban area.
Police responded to a report of a man shooting a gun at his home in the 17800 block of Washington Grove Lane at 11:42 a.m., according to county police spokesperson Capt. Paul Starks.
Police confiscated an AK-47, a 12-gauge shotgun and two handguns from the man's home. One of the handguns was loaded, according to police. Starks said the man was "cooperative."
"There is no information at this time to indicate that he has possession of them illegally," Starks said, and an investigation is ongoing.
Barney is being held on $20,000 bond, according to Starks.

Ben Barker wants to be a V8 Supercar driver – so the chance to race against some of the heroes of Australian Touring Car racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup at the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix is one he wants to grab with both hands.
In today's second Carrera Cup race the 20-year-old Brit did exactly that, passing both Mark Skaife and Steven Richards in genuine, wheel-to-wheel combat.
Making Barker's feats even more impressive is that this is his first race meeting in an enclosed car, his background being in open-wheeler racing.
He is the reigning Australian Formula 3 Drivers' Champion, and before getting to Albert Park on Thursday, he'd never raced a car with a roof.
"It feels surreal," he said.
"I knew who were, but when you catch them on the track in a racing scenario, they are just another car."
Barker was on-track to finish second in today's race, but ran wide at the second last corner on the final lap, dropping him to fourth.
"We had great pace," he added.
"I managed to get through , but at the end I ran wide and gave two spots away. I'm happy and disappointed!"
The third and final Carrera Cup race will be tomorrow at 12:35pm.

Yes, I'm finally becoming a snowbird. Well, a semi-snowbird. I'll be spending the month of January in Florida, basking in the sunshine and warming my bones while family and friends are shoveling out their driveways. And I don't even feel bad about it. I deserve it.
But I won't only be lying around on the beach. I plan to meet with as many authors, librarians and booksellers as I can. I've already made lunch plans with author D.C. Stanfa and the Florida RWA have asked me to speak at their monthly meeting. If anyone else is interested in getting together, please email me at email@example.com and I'll try to work it in.
I also plan on reading….A LOT!! So, if there's a book that just must be read, please let me know. I'm making a list now and I'd be happy to consider it. Suggest one you read and loved or one you wrote or one your friend wrote. Just make sure it's a good book with a good story. That's all I ask. Oh, and I don't care for non-fiction, so stick to the make-believe stuff.
Bottom Line: Let the suggestions begin!

Comments, questions and tips
I think this is just yummy. Yes, its like solid ice when it first comes out of the freezer but like others have said if you take it out an hour before you need it then it's a beautiful texture. Maybe worth putting into 2 batches into the freezer so that you only have to defrost one if you don't need so much. I also misread the recipe and used the whole can of milk… And I will next time too, was just the right amount of sweetness for me.
I have made easy-to-scoop ice cream with condensed milk before with great results and so this recipe caught my eye. I made it with full-fat Greek yogurt instead of fat-free and although the recipe tastes pretty good, it takes a long long time to warm enough to scoop ( infact I used 'defrosted' it in the microwave to help it along). Also I would definitely avoid the fruit pieces in future because they just become blocks of strawberry ice. Would make an adapted version of this recipes again though as everyone enjoyed the taste and it was a very pretty colour.
Taking advice from earlier comments, I pureed the strawbs and to reduce the water content I used 2% fat greek yoghurt.
I only had 320g of the greek yoghurt (but I calculate this makes it 1% fat overall and adds ~50 kcals per serving). It turned out super creamy, rich strawberry flsvour and not at all yoghurt-y. I'll definitely do it again.
Its difficult to make anything frozen without fat be lovely and soft to scoop. And I have never managed to add chunks of fruit to any frozen dessert and it not turn into fruity ice chunks. I pureed all the fruit for this and froze it in a loaf tin, lined with cling film. turn it out when set and wrap in film. serve in slices, I sliced with a warm knife and put them on plates in the fridge before we even started dinner, was lovely by the time got to dessert with strawberries on the side. Better than anything of similar ilk that i've bought from the supermarket so I've no complaints.
It does have some small ice crystals when frozen yes, but for how low the fat and calorie content is I really cant complain! I stirred it up twice before it froze properly and this helped. Still tastes delicious and feels like a treat. Took out the freezer 2 hours before serving and left in the fridge and it was perfect. Would definitely make again!

Bernese Oberland Haute Route - East
Switzerland, Trek & Walk, 8 days - from £1,295 (land only) - from €1,815 (land only) - from $2,100 (land only)
Country Profile
Switzerland is surrounded by France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria and Italy. Almost two-thirds of the land area are mountainous, with the European Alps taking up the southern and central parts of the country. Alpine meadows, thick forest and snow-capped peaks combine to make Switzerland one of the most picturesque of European countries. The Swiss Alps which includes the most impressive mountains in the country is a part of the European Alps, which extend for some 1000 kilometres (620 miles), through parts of southeastern France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. Amongst the hundreds of peaks comprising this range, there are some 75 which top the 4000 metre (13000ft.) mark. Above 3000 metres (10000ft.), the mountains are permanently snow-capped and the region is heavily glaciated. In many alpine valleys, forests of pine reach above 2500 metres (8000ft.)and there are flower-filled alpine pastures above this height. No fewer than 51 of the Alpine 'fourthousanders' are located in the Swiss canton of Valais, which takes its name from the upper part of the Rhone Valley, which links the Rhone Glacier and Lake Geneva (Lac Leman). The Saas Fee or Saastal Valley, is ringed by 13 of these 4000 metre (13000ft.) peaks. Like its neighbour, the Mattertal or Zermatt Valley, from which it is separated by the Mischabel Range, Saastal is a tributary of the Rhone. Many of the peaks in this area present relatively easy mountaineering objectives. The biggest mountain lying entirely within Switzerland is the huge many-summitted massif of Monte Rosa at 4634 metres (15200ft.), which dominates the town of Zermatt.
Time Zone
The time in Switzerland is GMT + 1 hour and GMT + 2 hours in summer time.
Switzerland has four official languages, traditionally spoken in different regions of the country; German, French, Italian and Rumantsch. In addition, many people speak a reasonable standard of English. We recommend that you learn some simple French and German phrases and greetings. This is part of the fun of travelling and will be appreciated by the people that you meet.
The temperatures that we can expect to encounter during the day will be reasonably warm, ranging from 15°C/ 59°F to 25°C/ 77°F. It can be cool in the evenings at our highest overnight stopping places, falling close to freezing point at night. The weather is usually stable during July and August, but mountainous areas do generate their own weather systems and occasional rain and even stormy weather cannot be ruled out. You should be prepared for all eventualities!
The unit of currency in Switzerland is the Swiss franc. For up to date exchange rates visit: www.xe.com. You should take some Swiss francs with you on your holiday to Switzerland. These are readily available at most banks. If you run out of Swiss currency, dollars, sterling and euros (cash or travellers cheques) can easily be exchanged once you are in Switzerland. Credit cards can be used widely and you will also be able to obtain currency at cash machines (ATM's) at most Swiss banks in the usual way.
Visa Requirements
You will need a valid passport. Nationals of the EU, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia do not require visas to visit France, Italy or Switzerland as tourists for up to three months. Nationals of other countries not mentioned above should check the visa requirement with the relevant embassy in their own countries.
You should attend your own doctor and dentist for a check-up. No special vaccinations are required for Switzerland. UK residents should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before travelling. The EHIC is normally valid for three to five years and covers any medical treatment that becomes necessary during your trip, because of either illness or an accident. The card gives access to state-provided medical treatment only, and you'll be treated on the same basis as an 'insured' person living in the country you're visiting. Remember, this might not cover all the things you'd expect to get free of charge from the NHS in the UK. You may have to make a contribution to the cost of your care. You can obtain an EHIC from the Department of Health by phone, online, or at the post office.

FrenchThe program of study for the Bachelor of Arts in French is currently under review by the Undergraduate College Curriculum Committee. Students interested in pursuing this degree are advised to stay in close contact with their academic mentor so that they can adjust to changes forthcoming in this program of study. In both the major and minor programs, we provide instruction in the history, arts, literature, and cultures of France and francophone countries. Since all courses are taught in French, the student will acquire the oral and written skills to communicate effectively with French speakers. The analysis of philosophy and literature develops critical thinking skills necessary for the professional. Course placement is determined by the French faculty following careful review of each student's prior instruction and his/her responses to the Foreign Language questionnaire. Courses are so integrated that a student who demonstrates competence in a particular skill may omit one or more basic courses. Majors are prepared for graduate study, for specialized professional training, and for positions demanding foreign language competence in numerous governmental areas and commercial enterprises involving international contacts. Specialized preparation is provided for students wishing to teach and for those in the international business program. All majors and minors are encouraged to study abroad during their junior year or during a summer under one of the programs approved by the division.
Courses Taught in French
While many foreign language courses are taught in English, Rosemont students are immersed in the language from day one.
French History, Arts, Literature, and Cultures Studied
Students don't just learn how to speak French at Rosemont, but rather all there is to know about France and francophone countries.
Specialized Preparation for Certification
For students wishing to teach and those in the International Business program at Rosemont.
Study Abroad Experience
Both French majors and minors are encouraged to study abroad during their junior year.
Small Student-Professor Ratio
Because the French classes are small, students have more experience speaking French with both the professor and students.

Narain Karthikeyan admits he may have to look "beyond F1" after the HRT team was put up for sale...
Narain Karthikeyan admits he may have to look "beyond F1" after the HRT team was put up for sale.
Earlier this week, HRT's owners Thesan Capital revealed they were selling the team and had a "number of groups interested in buying."
The decision has not only thrown the team's future into doubt but also that of its drivers.
"The plan for me was to stay with HRT for 2013 as it was looking good all along," Karthikeyan told the Times of India.
"As a team we have been making progress and the design for the 2013 car is reasonably competitive. I was quite sure of everything being in place and thus there was no Plan B.
"But everything has turned on its head in the last 24-48 hours as you can imagine. The solution won't arrive overnight.
"I may be forced to look beyond F1 now, so looks like it is going to be a very busy off-season."

- person in the U.S. has this name View Warren Duerre on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the surname, which is of Norman origin, a coalescence of two different surnames, one derived from a Germanic personal name based on the element war(in) 'guard' and the other from a place in Normandy called La Varenne 'the game park'. The Norman personal name survived at least into the 17th century in Yorkshire, where it was particularly associated with the Scargill family. In America this name has sometimes been chosen in honour of General Joseph Warren, the first hero of the American Revolution, who was killed at Bunker Hill (1775). Among modern influences on the choice of the name has been the film actor Warren Beatty (b. 1937).

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A congressionally mandated pilot program set to launch July 25 will enhance an existing Defense Department program that provides care and treatment for military children with autism, a senior DOD official said.
Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs and director of the TRICARE Management Activity met with reporters yesterday to explain the new program.
An estimated 8,500 children of active-duty military families have a form of autism, Woodson said. He sought to dispel military parents' concerns about rumors of a potential loss in benefits for their children with autism and autism spectrum disorder.
"We understand that there's a lot of anxiety in the community of interest around autism about suspected changes that would adversely affect care," he said. "Providing care to children who have autism spectrum disorder and making sure they get the full range of care they need is a priority to us."
"All care will be continued," Woodson added, noting that active-duty service members' children's autism care benefits in the applied behavior analysis administered through TRICARE would not change.
"Anyone who's receiving care under the (Enhanced Access to Autism Services Demonstration) – there will be no change," he said.
There's also no change in benefits to anyone enrolled in the basic medical program that began July 2012, Woodson said. An expansion of services through the autism pilot program, he added, will also allow retirees and their families to receive ASD benefits.
Autism care and treatment is evolving, Woodson said.
"In the future, we'll try to identify what the best practice is for the periodic assessments – who should get it and over what period of time," he said, noting the pilot program is expected to yield "great insight" into evaluation protocols.
The pilot program was developed by crafting requirements through consulting with experts in the field and advocacy groups to "try to find validated tests and the best strategy for focusing on what would be the right care at the right time for children (with autism)," Woodson said.
Woodson said the pilot program's overall focus is directed at families, and what is best for their child. Parents' input will be sought to ensure their issues are represented as the program is shaped, he added.
There is "an expanding need and recognition" of military families with children who have autism," Woodson said. Integral to increasing autism treatment capability, he said, is having a large network of providers that work with autistic children.
"We continually try to improve … (and) expand our network of providers," he said. "I think we have one of the most robust networks available."
Woodson said it is "paramount" for children with autism to obtain professional reassessments to ensure they get the right care, at the right time, with updated care plans.
"That's what we're all about," he said. "Focusing on the child and what's best and providing the families with access to these services."

Ana takes on world No.54 Annika Beck of Germany in the second round of the Australian Open on Wednesday. It will be the second meeting between the pair, following Ana's 6-1, 6-1 win in Tokyo last year.
Beck comes into the match with her confidence high, having crushed 109th-ranked Petra Martic 6-0, 6-0 in round one yesterday. Ana reached round two thanks to a 6-4, 6-4 win over Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands, in what she admitted was "not a great match".
If she reaches round four Ana would likely meet five-time champion and red-hot favourite Serena Williams. Asked if players held a belief that they too could challenge for the title, Ana said: "You never know. You go out there and you give your best. We all thought that last year, too. Then, she got knocked out by Stephens.
"It's tennis. It can go either way. She's definitely the hot favorite. She's been playing amazing tennis. She's on top of the women's game, there is no doubt about that.
"But I think a lot of girls are out for a challenge. I think you just want to go out there and give your best and you never know what can happen on any given day."
During her post-match press conference Ana also revealed her goal for the season: "In this year I really want to make Singapore, the Championships. That's my big goal. I'm aware I have to work hard towards it.
"I had a good start, but still plenty more weeks of tennis. Still many, many matches to come.
"But that would be my biggest goal for this season."
The match is scheduled as the fourth and last of the day on Show Court 2. It is expected to begin sometime after 5pm local time (7am Central European Time; 1am Eastern Time).

Blake Shelton celebrated his 10th and 11th consecutive No. 1 songs – "Boys 'Round Here" and "Mine Would Be You" – this week with a party at Starstruck, the company that manages him.
Shelton was joined by the songwriters responsible for the career milestone. Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Craig Wiseman wrote "Boys 'Round Here" and Connie Harrington, Jessi Alexander and Deric Ruttan penned "Mine Would Be You."
"You almost feel guilty sometimes, you know," Shelton said of his string of No. 1 hits. "But it's easy to get over that when I think about back in the day when I was just struggling to get something on the radio and just remembering what those days were like. You were living from one song to the next; lucky to have anything on the radio, hoping that one would create enough momentum to get the next one going."
Shelton said he realizes a string of career events had to line up at the right time – his hosting gig at the Academy of Country Music Awards, his position as a coach on television reality talent show "The Voice" and finding the right songs – to get him to his point in his career.
"They just kind of fell out of the sky and helped create this situation," he said. "You get this kind of momentum going and one goes No. 1 and the next one does and the next one, and then finally I'm sitting here right now (with 11 No. 1 songs in a row). You end up at that place, and it's ridiculous. It's stupid."
Shelton's new single "Doin' What She Likes" is now on country radio. The new season of "The Voice" premieres 7 p.m. Monday on NBC.

I saw that Gwinnett is trying to get people back out playing LP. If you're bored with the layout dont be bored with the land. With less traffic on the course its easier to play Safari and LP is the perfect place to do it. Theres tons of options but here's an example lay out thats not bad.
Hole 1 Tee to 17 bskt (probably the riskiest hole on the layout, you have to wait for no walkers on the path for this one)
Hole 2 Long Tee to 3 bskt - Par 4
Hole 4 Same hole but double mando between the trees (normal mando but on opposite side of tree)
Next Tee is straight back from 5s tee, now teeing from walking path (long with a low ceiling before it goes downhill)
Hole 6 Tee to 7 bskt - Par 4
Hole 8 Tee to 12 bskt- Par 4
Hole 13 Tee to 15 bskt- Gold level Par4 (playing to 14 bskt is also a good, much easier par 4)
and the best hole in GA........
Hole 16 Tee to 18 bskt-Gold Level Par 5 and disc eater. An uphill Tee through the tightest gap at LP, across 17 and over the lake, then back up the hill. The only way to birdie is to get your 2nd shot over the lake, and its still not easy when you do. I've gotten a 4 on it twice out of around 25 times.
If I go to LP by myself i generally play the normal first 8 holes and then play those last two safari holes
ps-I am really bored right now if you cant tell

50 Cans
Collect and recycle at least 50 aluminum cans.
What You Did
28,910 Members Participated
1,522,915 cans recycled
This campaign is over! In case you missed it, here's what happened.
Americans only recycle half of the aluminum cans we use. The rest ends up in landfills or, worse, as litter in nature. Ugh. But aluminum is so durable, you can recycle it over and over and over. Recyclers can even turn an old can into a new can in only 60 days! IT'S MAGIC YOU GUYS.
We're counting up how many cans you all collected and will announce a winner soon.
Thanks to everyone, specifically these members who did especially awesome stuff.
LinneaRainy days call for indoor landfills (and yes that is a dress made entirely from cans)
MadiI THINK I CAN!
ChristinaWe can do something
The Buzz
Harry Shum Jr. is...Can Man!
The star of Glee played a super-ish hero in our PSA video. His power to manipulate aluminum is more super-ish than super, but it's perfect for the return of 50 Cans!
Congrats to…
Scholarship Winner
Brittany recycled a whopping 15,000 cans and won a $10,000 scholarship for college! If she were a Crayola crayon, she would be royal purple because it's both bold and soft so it shows strength and kindness at the same time. Here's what she had to say:
"This is important because it is helping making the world a better place. Every day I see horrible things on the news and I look at my son and get worried about the world he is living in but since I have started to do more of these campaigns I feel that I am making a better place for him. My overall hope is more people would help make the world a better place for our future children to grow up in and be proud of what we left behind for them."
