On the drive back from Madison yesterday, I listened to a lecture by MIT psychologist Sherry Turkle on the very personal relationships we have with objects, particularly the objects that help us think. Turkle talked about her 2008 book, Falling for Science, a collection of interviews with MIT students, and established scientists, about the objects that first drew their minds to math, computers, science and technology. Some were what you'd expect: Broken radios, Legos, a computer. But one story, about a My Little Pony, really caught my attention.
I had several small plastic Ponies that I used to play make-believe with my friends. But I had one larger, plush My Little Pony, a bright-green stuffed horse with a vivid pink mane and tail that I played with all by myself. I would sit for hours on my own, braiding and rebraiding its tail. I developed a system for braiding the tail of my Pony that taught me about mathematical concepts-- from division to recursion.
Read more of computer scientist Christine Alvarado's story after the cut.
When I started, I took the hair on the Pony's tail and divided it into three pieces for braiding. Soon I became bored with a single braid. I then divided the tail into nine pieces and made three groups. I braided each group of three until I had three braids, then took these three braids and braided them together.
Soon I was up to starting with twenty-seven pieces (nested down to nine braids, then to three and then one) and then on to eighty-one. All the while I was learning about math: I saw that division is the process of taking a large number of things and grouping them into a smaller number of groups. In order to end up with one even braid at the end, I had to be able to divide the initial number evenly by three, then by three,and then by three again, until I ended up with just one braid.
I learned that I had to start with speciï¬c numbers of pieces in order for the braid to come out evenly. These speciï¬c numbers, of course, turned out to be powers of three. Overall, though, what I liked most about braiding was recursion. The large braid was made up of smaller braids that in turn were also made up of smaller braids, and I pushed this structure as far as I could take it. I once attempted to begin the braiding process with 243 pieces, but because each of these sections consisted of only about ï¬ve strands of hair, I was forced to give it up.
With braiding on my mind, I began to see recursion everywhere. One night at the dinner table, I was eating cauliflower and I noticed that it had the same recursive structure of my braids. Moreover, the cauliflower seemed to continue to recurse forever. I began to divide the piece of cauliflower on my plate, determined to ï¬nd the base level, but it split further and further until the pieces were too tiny to hold. My parents gave me a strange glance, and I continued to eat, still fascinated by the underlying structure of my vegetables.

Much as I like a good story about why someone became a scientist, there is nothing here that even remotely resembles data that you could use to draw a conclusion. A bunch of anecdotes does not make a pattern.
Suppose there was someone who was kidnapped and put into a small room with only a bit of light shining under the door. Twenty years later they could tell the story about how they could see clumps of dust in the light, which formed some sort of pattern. Day after day, this is all they could do to pass the time. Eventually they were rescued, and as a result of seeing those patterns this person eventually became a scientist. Amazing story, but I wouldn't want to draw the conclusion that being held hostage in a tiny room is good preparation for a career in science.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
I think you've misunderstood the point. Nobody is trying to make a case that playing with My Little Ponies is good for launching a scientific career. It's meant as a singular memoir about the object that started one woman thinking about science. The point of the book is that scientists often have some beloved object that kindled their interest in their chosen profession–whether it be Legos, ponies, or broken radios.
inkadinka12 says:
"The point of the book is that scientists often have some beloved object …"
This statement is a claim that there is a pattern, but there is no data to draw this conclusion. About all you can say is that this sometimes happens, but that's a very weak statement. The use of the word "often" to imply a pattern is not grounded by the data.
As a counter example, I could easily find ten people who didn't have a beloved object that kindled their interest in science. I don't think it would then be reasonable to make the claim "that scientists RARELY have some beloved object …"

When I was 2-6 years old, I used to do that with any kind of doll/toy that had lots of yarn/string "hair" that would stay in braids!
Split into groups, split those into more groups, use hair bands/clips to keep groups separate while I worked on each one to make as many tiny braids as possible, braid 3-5 braids into a bigger braid, and keep doing that as long as the braids weren't too thick to make more braids. My goal was to make a "super braid" where I started with braids made from 3-5 individual strands, and work all the way up to the whole doll/toy head being one superbraid. (somebody taught me how to make braids from 4 or 5 strands instead of just the normal 3, so sometimes I did it like that)
I remember taking scissors to some cloth dolls and scalping them, because I had no interest in the doll and only wanted the scalp with all the "hair" so that I could try superbraiding them.
My mother always yelled at me because we had these nice carpets and blankets with long yarn/string fringe on the ends, and I would try making superbraids in the carpet or blanket fringe.
I also learned how to square and square-root numbers, and about spacial relations, from playing with legos as a 4-6 year old. I had an "ancient egypt" mini-obsession and I'd build pyramids with the legos. But I had to know how many blocks it took for square-base pyramids, or rectangle-base pyramids, and how I should start the base because if it was the wrong shape then the pyramid wouldn't be able to get to a one-block "point" at the top. So I learned 1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64. But 8 was my favorite number at the time so I made 8-layer pyramids. And there were also only so many legos available to use.
But I also taught myself to read rather young, and read through the Dorling Kindersly Science Encyclopedia, cover-to-cover by the time I was 6. So there were things I learned from reading, not just from "discovery through playing".
One thing I remember is that in preschool, we didn't view toys how I later learned adults thought we viewed toys. To us, they were not "the soft girly pony" or "the hard plastic yellow truck" but they were just 3D objects of various colors and textures. We knew what they were, in terms of "pony toy" "truck toy" etc, but we didn't really think in terms of "boy toy" "girl toy" or "this is the correct way to play with it" until we learned that from books we were read, or from what adults said. Like how nobody hated vegetables until we were read lots of little-kid books where the characters all hated vegetables. Which made it cool to hate them, because our favorite characters did. Or like, nobody got mad at boys for playing dressup or not liking sports until the little-kid books at read-aloud time said that those boys were sissies. Suddenly toys and clothes and games actually meant something gender-wise. I mean, boys did tend to like more active things, and there were more girls who liked the more imaginative things, but we didn't see them as innately "boy things" or "girl things" until the books we were read told us so.
gusandrews says:
Do you recall seeing "boy toy" and "girl toy" aisles at the store, though? I remember that feminists use to flip out about these designations when I was very small, but in recent years I've seen them come back with a vengeance. Do we think they shape how kids view their toys?
Kaleberg says:
Of course girls do the math. The Bible is full of "more than men could number". That meant that women had to do the counting.
Xenu01 says:
I think what I love most about this is that generally, girls who embrace girly things are seen as silly and illogical- certainly not bright, logical and scientific. It just goes to show that science, rather than being genderless (read: default male) truly embraces all genders.

Patty O'Brien Novak says:
Thank you for sharing this story – math and science are everywhere in our daily lives, even our veggies. I love this story. Young girls can so relate to braiding their toy's hair for seemingly hours on end. Make them aware of the math aspects of braiding and they might just love math!
Anonymous says:
It seems like the moral of the story is that kids can learn about themselves and the world through play, providing the toy allows sufficient imagination.
I'm okay with that.
El Stinko says:
Well, not as deep a story but kind of related: When my 4 year old daughter received that exact same MLP doll as a gift, she leaned over and whispered to me that "it smells like chemicals." And she was right, it did. From that day on she named it Chemical the Pony.
Anonymous says:
That's really neat. She must have had a natural inclination towards math though. Lots of little girls played with My Little Ponies or dolls with long hair, including me, but I'm not a computer scientist. I'm an engineer. ;)
SafariEarth12 says:
Whoa. And to think most little girls are playing with these things as toys. The target for these little ponies (having a daughter myself) is age 3 – age 8. This person must be a genius. I wonder what her IQ is? Holy Shite!

KathleenPorter says:
Thank you Maggie, and Sherry, and Christine, for sharing this story! I believe we'll want to add Sherry Turkle's book to our high school library. There is a certain truth and beauty in the story that resonates…
It reminded me vividly of my own experience of discovering the musical cycle of fifths as a high school student, mapping key changes mathematically with pencil on paper, as if no one had ever seen it before. Beauty everywhere. I can believe the book is about "science, technology, and love". ~@MsPorterAtFHS
Mllerustad says:
Hey, that's my old CS prof! I already knew Alvarado was the nicest prof in the world, but now that I know she got into math via My Little Pony that just makes her 100x cooler. :)
Bekah says:
Thanks for a delightful story. I vividly remember the day I understood the process of braiding and how to do it. I was in kindergarten – so 5yrs old – and all the other girls in class had braids. I however had two gawky pig tails sticking out from the sides of my head. I studied and studied the braids trying to figure out how they did them. My mother has never been able to braid hair so if I wanted braids I had to learn. Not having a doll with braidable hair I started by plaiting my own hair until I could do it easily then tried to make it "stick to my head" in a braid. Once I had figured it out I experimented with partial braids, plaits and braids, 4 piece, 6 piece and 8 piece braids. 4 and 6 are fine 8 kind of looks like you have a basket on your head. Separating the hair with different fingers gives different weight braids and dividing the scalp into quadrants lets you control the hair you pick up and gives you even braids. Of course I would pull it all undone before I went home and brush my hair back into two pigtails before I got off the bus :)
lorq says:
Thanks not just for the story, but for the tip on the Turkle book. Looking forward to reading.
Chrs says:
Man, braiding is crazy. Doing it with rope really wouldn't let you have the same affect, because it's so hard to get it even, but hair/fake hair naturally falls into an even, low-energy ordered state when you braid it. If she hadn't had a pony or doll, this probably wouldn't have happened. Awesome!
HowardsGrl says:
She obviously had the talented mind to see anything that way. So any toy might have been seen differently by her than some other girls (and boys). I'm too old for my little pony, but anything with hair to be brushed got a hair cut instead. Then was subsequently blown up with firecrackers by the boys in the neighborhood. Must have been nice to have a sensible scientific childhood.
yellom says:
christine is the coolest! yeahhhh
Sekino says:
That's a really cool story. It's also awesome that she had the time to sit around, intensly focused on her game/exploration. I wonder how many kids can't schedule it between day care, soccer, ballet, karate and piano classes… I don't think I would have become a graduate gemologist if, as a kid, I hadn't rolled around in the dirt for hours, digging for rocks and labeling every pebble I could find (for all it's worth, I also did play with My Little Ponies ;) ).
Anonymous says:
I have seen the Rumanesco years ago, and still amazes me.
Well I agree with #26. To me this breaks the cliche' that girls that play with dolls/ponies/pinky can still become scientists/engineers and anything in between. Even though I personally lean towards the type of engineer who never played with any sort of doll or pony, and I don't think it was because I did not have a pony available at the time ( I come from a rather poor country, and I was given only 3 dolls throughout my childhood). I still had objects around me that made me wonder (at the age of 5 I would try to understand an astronomy book from my mother for hours and hours per day). However, it was only in high school that my math and science preferences became clear. Today I am an engineer who would still consider math and physics fav subjects to work with, but would also read anything related to philosophy and psychology for leisure.

some of the comments are interesting to me, as the mother of an almost 5-year-old. she doesn't know (yet) that math is supposedly "hard" or the "girls don't like it." [both patently untrue, as demonstrated by the wonderful excerpt above!]
she is fascinated by numbers–we play a game to decide how many extra back rubs she'll get; I offered her something different one night: to pick a number [integer, really] between 4 and 28. Being a shrewd kid, she thought until she figured out what was to her best advantage, and chose 27. After a few weeks of this, she said to me "I LOVE the in-between." It fills her with delight.
All by way of saying a few things: 1) children, often younger than we think, can "obsess" about what interests them, not just "geniuses"– 2)they are ALL wired differently than us because their brains aren't fully developed, and this is often wondrous to behold, as well as perplexing! and 3)math is fun if we don't process it out of people.
gusandrews says:
I can say that model horses were instrumental in my learning to make databases. I learned a little about dbs in a junior high class, and decided I wanted to catalog every Breyer model horse ever made. In the process of doing so, I developed frustrations with the early database I was using (probably the one associated with WordPerfect?) which eventually led me to recognize relational databases as a very useful tool. I got the hang of them pretty quickly. To this day, making data dance is one of my favorite things, and is associated with a lot less math anxiety than, say, algebra or calculus.

I've been making Pizzelles for more than 20 years. Storage is the Biggest Issue! Around Christmas, huge humidity issues ... I store my pizzelles in a glass Jar with those little "stay-fresh Silica Gel capsules that come in vitamin/medicine jars & also new shoe boxes". (What a HUGE difference!!!! BEWARE: if you have children that can access cookies, put them high up so they cant access the little chemical packs". Especially helpful for large batches... not that they last very long at all....
No you can't use a wafflle iron! Butter makes the difference and makes them crisp. Anise oil, lemon oil et. is much better than he extracts in these flavors. Also, add lemon zest or orange zest to the batter. I've never heard of using Anise seeds in these...I wouldn't like that and as far as I know th anise oil is authentic not the seeds.
my grandmother has made these a long time and you do not have to use anise oil. juniorscout

Women's Tennis Blanks Bowdoin - Advances To NESCAC Semi's
May 7, 2010
The fourth-seeded Middlebury women's tennis team advanced past No. 5 seed Bowdoin in the Quarterfinal Round of the 2010 NESCAC Women's Tennis Championship at Amherst College. The Panthers improve to 13-4 on the year and will take on the top-seeded Ephs of Williams tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., while the Polar Bears are eliminated from the tournament with a 9-7 record.
Middlebury took an early 1-0 lead in doubles play with an 8-4 win by Leah Kepping and Brittney Faber at number three. The Polar Bears took the Panthers to extra games at both number one and two, with Jamie Haar and Alexandra McAtee winning 9-7 at number one and Anna Burke and Victoria Aiello pulling out a 9-8 result at number two. The tough pair of losses in doubles put Bowdoin in a 3-0 hole, setting the table for a sweep by Middlebury.
Earning the crucial points for Middlebury in singles action were Kepping and Burke in the number five and six singles spots. Kepping topped Bowdoin's Hannah Hoerner 6-1, 6-0, while Burke ousted Elizabeth Pedowizt 6-0, 6-2.
The top of Bowdoin's lineup was doing its part in singles play with Kellen Alberstone and Emily Lombardi each up a set at number one and two singles, and Brett Davis sitting in a 5-5 deadlock with Faber at number three. It was too little too late for the Polar Bears though, as Middlebury advanced to tomorrow's conference semifinals.

Mike Wolfe of "American Pickers" addressed a Sunday morning audience at the Los Angeles Times Travel Show with some sobering advice on visiting small-town America: Go before it's all gone.
"Please travel, experience, discover -- not just items and people but communities, because there are so many cool places," the star of the History Channel show said. In the series, Wolfe spends his time with cohort Frank Fritz crisscrossing tiny towns, rifling through barns and sheds in search of antique treasures. They call it picking, and it's been a lifelong obsession for Wolfe that has made him a pro.

Daily Star
---- —
Almost exactly 52 years ago today, April 9, 1959, seven men were ushered into a room filled with TV cameras and introduced to a waiting world. I was 11 years old. These guys became my boyhood heroes.
They were the "Mercury Seven," America's first astronauts. I had been reading about them in school, and we all were wide-eyed at the prospects of these modern-day Buck Rogerses hurtling themselves into space, into the black beyond and maybe, dare we say it, onto the face of the moon. I thought these men would be giants, like the classic pioneers found in the pages of my history books.
Instead, out shuffled seven sheepish guys who looked very much like, well, my dad. They wore suits and ties and smiled for the camera. The next week their photo was on the front page of LIFE magazine. I tore the cover off the magazine and thumbtacked it to my bedroom wall.
Like my Dad, none of them had much hair. Gus Grissom had a flattop haircut. They all wore business suits that looked like they came out of the wardrobe department for the TV show "Mad Men."
Navy blue was the color of the day. Except for John Glenn, decked out in his tan suit coat. They wore skinny neckties. Except for Glenn, who sported a rakish bow tie. All were grinning. All were young. It seems like a million years ago.
My friends and I knew their names, their missions and their backgrounds. Our hearts pumped feverishly as we watched John Glenn catapult into the heavens aboard his Friendship 7 on Feb. 20, 1962. Mission control said, "Godspeed, John Glenn," and we all prayed. When he returned to terra firma, the first American to orbit the Earth, he was forever a hero. My hero. My real-life Buzz Lightyear.
Over the years, America's space program has brought our country many thrills, chills and spills. Each newspaper headline blaring another milestone in space found its way tacked up to my now-crowded bedroom wall. No paper went up, however, to remember Feb. 21, 1967, when "Gus" Grissom, the one with the flattop, was killed in a capsule fire along with two others. It was too sad.
And of course, all of my boyhood dreams culminated on July 20, 1969, with man's historic landing on the moon. Five hundred million people watched it on TV. I watched it with my family at our home in Sidney.
My very old grandfather, "Pop" Cody, watched it with us, too. In 1927, he had been glued to his radio in Brooklyn listening Charles Lindbergh take off over the Atlantic. "Lucky Lindy" was my grandfather's generation's Buzz Lightyear. Pop watched wide-eyed at this "one small step for man."
After the lunar landing, my interest in the space program began to wane. Life crowded it out of my sight. Launches went unnoticed, names became unfamiliar. Space events became too scientific. I just lost interest.
Our area has a few touchstones to the space program, however. Eileen Collins, from Elmira, was the first female commander of a space shuttle. And poor Gregory Jarvis. Once the "Boy Wonder of Mohawk, N.Y.," he was killed when his Space Shuttle Challenger blew up on Jan. 28, 1986. That too was a headline that never made it up onto my bedroom wall.
And now, today, the space program seems like an afterthought. When was the last launch? Who is up in space right now? What is the name of our program? I haven't got a clue. Space shuttles, space walks, international space stations. Good efforts, great science, but for me, not something I take note of anymore.
But before I close my own personal door on the space program, let me mention Ron Garan Jr. Ron came from Yonkers to Oneonta for college. He spent four years here before graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree at SUNY Oneonta in 1982. Recently he came back to be awarded an honorary degree and to give the commencement address.
Col. Ron Garan, now an astronaut, soared into space earlier this month. Destination: The International Space Station for a six-month stay.
So, although I have "been away for a while," this one might just do the trick. An American astronaut with longtime Oneonta roots, rocketing off aboard a Soyuz spacecraft with two Russian colleagues, firing out of a cool sounding place called the Baikonur Cosmodome in remote Kazakhstan?
Yeah, that sounds interesting!
Oh, and "Godspeed, Ron Garan."
I'll catch you in two ...
'Big Chuck' D'Imperio can be heard on weekdays beginning at 6 a.m. on WDOS-AM 730 in Oneonta, and also on Thursday nights from 7-9 p.m. on WSRK-FM 103.9 for his "Oldies Jukebox Show." You can find "Big Chuck" on Facebook under Upstate New York Books. He invites you to contact him at email@example.com. His columns can be found at www.thedailystar.com/bigchuck.

It's never too soon to start planning the celebration of your nation's independence; especially if it might save everyone some money.
Fair Lawn Deputy Mayor John Cosgrove and Councilman Kurt Peluso presented a preliminary plan to council Tuesday that re-envisions the borough's Fourth of July celebration as a multi-day, money making event.
Rather than a single night of fireworks, Cosgrove said he'd like to model Fair Lawn's Fourth of July celebration after the three-day Independence Day celebration held annually in Montville Township that includes a multi-day carnival and a fireworks display that's free to residents.
At Montville's Independence Day celebration this year, residents were treated to a three-day carnival with rides, a classic car show, live music, a 5K run, a flea market, a parade, a knockoff American Idol competition, hot air balloon rides and a free fireworks celebration.
Cosgrove said he already has a date set to meet with a representative from Montville to discuss replicating the event.
"I would just like the council's permission to look into this and bring some type of package where possibly we can keep the fireworks going and bring in some revenue," said Cosgrove, adding that Montville has either broken even or occasionally made money from its Independence Day celebration.
By contrast, Fair Lawn -- whose adult residents paid $7 in advance or $9 at the gate to see -- recouped only about $19,000 of the $30,000 the borough spent on the event, which includes employee overtime costs. Private donations, which have paid for a portion of the event in the past, were .
As a result of the event's pricetag, Deputy Mayor .
With council's go ahead to investigate reworking the borough's Fourth of July celebration, Cosgrove and Peluso hope next year's celebration marks a new and sustainable beginning, rather than the end of Fourth of July fireworks in Fair Lawn.

Vasovagal syncope (vay-zo-VAY-gul SING-cuh-pee) is the most common cause of fainting. Vasovagal syncope occurs when your body overreacts to triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. The trigger results in vasovagal syncope — a brief loss of consciousness caused by a sudden drop in your heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces blood flow to your brain.
Vasovagal syncope is usually harmless and requires no treatment. However, you can injure yourself during a vasovagal syncope episode. Also, your doctor may recommend tests to rule out more serious causes of fainting, such as heart disorders.

Do you want interior decorating ideas on how to bring a touch of Africa into your living room? The African living room can bring the new atmosphere and warm into your home.
Here are some of the elements and characteristics of an African ambience you may apply to decorate your living room.
- Dominant colors of this style are beige, olive green, ocher and white and black.
- African furniture are often crafted or sculpted from wood. Chairs and tables are low, massive, carved from one piece, without pegs and grooves. To brighten your living room, you may try furniture that made from woods like pine, cedar and ash. For a look that is classic, try the rich, dark and timeless ones like ebony and mahogany. African décor such as rattan, bamboo, wicker items is also popular as well.
- Decorate the area with African decorative items like gourds, plosti, wooden masks, stone statues, figures of tigers and giraffes, wooden bowls, souvenirs made of stone from Africa, etc.
- When using an African mask for decoration, you may need to learn about the meaning of the mask first. African masks always have great historical context behind them and you might want to add one that has a positive story behind its creation.

Poor Kristen Stewart is just going to have to learn to watch her mouth, because she recently slipped and put her foot in it again. The Breaking Dawn star is going to have to learn to recognize and avoid anything even remotely resembling a double entendre. Otherwise, after her infamous cheating scandal with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, even her perfectly innocent statements may be forever misconstrued as sexual. For example, Robert Pattinson's allegedly reinstated lady-love recently talked about sliding down in cars. Oops.
Yes, La Stewart stupidly--er--carelessly revealed exactly why she likes to get down and "sit low in cars." As those with unimpaired memories will no doubt recall, KStew was caught making out with Rupert Sanders on the front seat of her BMW. Actually, this is the second interview where Kristen has made a verbal faux pas that might be mistaken for a reference to vehicular sex. The first time occurred in a video interview when she admitted she preferred being "crammed in a car." Ouch.
Just like that first slip of the tongue, the more recent faux pas had absolutely nothing to do with sex. Au contraire, it was all about dodging the paparazzi--something that Kristen no doubt wishes she and Sanders had been more adept at doing in July.
"It's hard," Kristen began inauspiciously. "I don't want to give my secrets away, but you, like, sit low in cars. And then you go into an underground parking garage and get into another car and then you leave."
Unlike the KStew's previous car-cramming comment, her description of the paparazzi-ditching ploy doesn't sound at all sexual--let alone raunchy. However, it might indeed remind readers of KStew's indiscretion with Sanders and how it temporarily "broke" their Twilight idol's heart.
So there you have it. What do you think?
Note to Kristen Stewart: It's a sad fact of life, honey, loose lips don't always sink ships, but they often set tongues to wagging.
Just saying.

An Oakdale man was charged with domestic assault by strangulation in Washington County District Court last week.
On July 22, the Oakdale Police Department was dispatched to the 4100 block of Geneva Avenue after receiving multiple calls of physical domestic abuse in progress. The incident involved J'Marlon D'Anthony George, 21, of Oakdale and his girlfriend.
According to the criminal complaint, George and his girlfriend spent the evening at the neighbor's house. When the two arrived home they proceeded to argue about putting their two children — a 1-year-old and a 2-year-old — to bed.
The argument escalated to the point of George shoving the victim to the ground while she was holding their daughter. George then wrapped his arm around her neck and squeezed until she was unable to breathe, according to the complaint.
When George let go, the woman took the two children in her arms and ran outside. Witnesses heard the woman yell "I can't breathe" and several witnesses saw George chase the woman outside while yelling, "I'll hit you with these kids," the complaint states.
The complaint says witnesses also saw George hit the woman multiple times in the torso while she was holding both children and almost dropped one of them.
George was previously convicted of third-degree assault, which also involved the woman.
If found guilty, George could spend up to three years in prison and pay $5,000 for one count of domestic assault by strangulation and could spend up to 90 days in jail and pay $1,000 in fines on one count of a subsequent violation of domestic assault.

Welcome to my JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes personal fundraising page! My peronal interest in raising money for T1D, My 12 year old son Michael was diagnosed September 2013 and in memory of my nephew Mitchell who was 4 years old in 1988 when diagnosed. I have seen the changes in the last 20 years how far we have come in treatments and will continue to do so with your support. My goal also is to educate our schools where we send our children with T1D to feel safe. I live in a rural area and the school does not have a plan in place for kids with T1D nor a nurse on staff. I don't want anyone to go through what Michael did his first day of 7th grade.T1D is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, which the body needs to get energy from food. Managing the disease requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose testing, and lifelong dependence on insulin. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure. JDRF is working every day to change that. And, as the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research, every dollar JDRF directs toward its research plan comes from donors like you. Please support my commitment and donate to my Walk fundraising efforts today. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease. Thank you for your support!

No Zoom
Comments (8) (Please sign in to comment)
Hi Snoop, it's 1:10 am here in Fla. I've come back here several times looking for a comment to show me the way on this one! I get the big bear, they can't see him, and he must have eaten Edgar, but what is tied on his head?
I've been reading your comments since you were Denver Bronco, and you're a clever guy! Good luck with the strip.
Molly … I followed another commenter to this strip….
cos someone told me about it…
This is a famous cartoon, from the Far Side, by Gary Larsen.
The bear is wearing a fake pointy nose, tied behind his head, so that the penguins will think he's one of them, rather than a predator.
It is NOT Adam Nedens' work.
Thanks Susan! I enjoy your comments on BS more than I do a lot of the strips! You guys are a hoot!
Adam, I know you're young, and that you'd love to have your own comic.
Many of us share that dream.
But, sorry, it's not cool to just take another artist's work and present it as your own… even if you credit it, which you don't.
Besides, you could even get in legal trouble.
I LOVE the comics… and as part of that, I have a great respect for cartoonists.
Gary Larsen was a genius…
and the following quote explains what he thinks about people posting his work on a website, even properly credited:
"It is difficult to find many Far Side cartoons online, since Larson, his publishers, and lawyers have successfully persuaded people not to infringe on his copyright.
Larson wrote a widely distributed letter in which he explains the "emotional cost" to him of people displaying his cartoons on their websites and asks them to stop."
The same applies to any other artist's work…. whether it's from their own websites, CartoonStock, or anywhere else, such as you've posted in the last few days.
I'd love to see what YOU can draw, write, and color…
would be YOUR strip.
Molly…. Thank you!
Didn't expect you back while I was still typing!
As for BS — come join in!
Went back and checked the first three strips, all of which were penned by Graham Herrop.
Big disappointment here, Adam!
How do you keep getting subscribers?? Doing it yourself? I'm done here!
Truly a big disappointment!!!!
Hmmm…. That's interesting.

Melissa King
From Openwaterpedia
Melissa King was part of the first all-female relay team to successfully swim from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Farallon Islands off the coast of northern California, U.S.A. She also kayaked the entire distance of the Catalina Channel from Catalina Island to the California mainland on 18 July 2013 escorting her friend Kimberly Chambers.
Farallon Islands Relay
King struggled and triumphed with relay teammates Lynn Kubasek, Kim Chambers, Cathy Delneo, Laura Vartain Horn and Patti Bauernfeind from the Golden Gate Bridge to the South Farallons Island in 16 hours and 29 minutes. The six hardy women went through three rotations on their relay through the Red Triangle (watch visual gallery here).
"The seas, generally 15-20 feet, were larger than the escort boat," said Vito Bialla, the team's pilot. "Plus it was cold: 49°F (9.5°C), but the enthusiasm and passion of the women never wavered."

My address is

Do I qualify?
I have a two year old daughter that would love to try these!
I can not get to the site for 3 free boxes of monkey bars how can I qualify? Pat Hansen 2503 E 1649th rd Ottawa,Il 61350
I went to the offer page and it says I do not qualify as you do not sell in my area, this is bull… as I have seen them at many stores, bought them once and your store locator says there are 13 retail locations within 10 miles of me that sell these.
What's with the inaccurate website offer?
I've tried for a couple of days to get the free three boxes of Monkey Bars. When I click on the submission bar, it just sits there saying to refresh if it takes longer than 45 seconds. I have kept on refreshing, but it still will go no further.
I would like to get these please. How can I go about doing so in another way?
My info is as follows.
Karen Hirsch
RR 2, Box 988

If I can get Monkey Bars through your internet store, then why can't I qualify for the sample boxes? Just a thought because I'd love to try them. We eat granola bars at this house everyday. Love the concept and name, brings us back to the old playground memories.
Seen this on FB and seeing if I Qualify also.

The page said the offer isn't available in my area, yet when I searched for where the monkey bars are sold, they're available in a small city which is only 20minutes from me. Therefore it is available in my area. Is there any other way I can qualify for this offer? I travel to that side of town a lot and would love to have my daughter try the monkey bars.
I saw an offer for three free boxes of your Monkey Bars. I have seen them in the Walmart here. How do I get this offer. 1417 N. Edmonds apt. A. Carson City, NV 89701. Thank you, Sharon Honyumptewa
I was on a freebies website and was directed to facebook for your very generous offer.I had never

I can get 60 monkey bars for $3.74??
I recently read a couponing blog that stated you were offering 3 vouchers for the Monkey Bar granola bars. I have tried so many times to get them, but the webpage continues to load with no end result. I'd really like to try them out so are you able to mail me some directly? I'd rather not post my address here, but if you'd email me a response that would be great. Thanks.
Hi I saw that you were giving three free boxes from this site http://iwantmonkeybars.com, I tried the site 3 different times but it didn't tell me if I qualified or not.
Do I qualify?

I also tried to sign up for the free variety pack but it said there are no stores close to me. Can they be shipped to me instead?
Can I get the voucher?
Can I get the voucher still?
I got an email stating that there were no stores by me that sells your products. But there is and I would love my vouchers if still available. I shop in Grand Rapids for everything and I hit that Target at least once a week. I should be on file otherwise please email me and I can provide my address again for you. I have yet to find a granola bar that my son will eat so I would love to try'em. Please and Thank you.

I have been trying to sign up to get the free monkey bars but the webpage won't even open. Is there anyway that you can send me a link or something Please? Thank you
I also signed up on Facebook since your website states the Monkey Bars are sold at a Walmart located 20 miles from my home. I shop at this store often and was looking forward to the vouchers, then received the email stating that there are no stores that sell them locally? 20 miles is local. I hope you will reconsider. Thanks!

I applied for the vouches and received an email saying "I'm Sorry". Supposedly the products were not sold in my area. I have seen and purchased your products at my local Target (which is 13 mins away) and still was told it wasn't available to me. Please note: People who live in under served communities will gladly go to where ever they can to get healthy food options! Thank you!
I applied for the 3 samples a few months ago & the final page said I would be contacted by a rep. However I never was contacted or received any samples. Could you please send samples? I have 2 littles ones that want them. My address is located below…

I applied for the 3 free boxes of Monkey Bars several months ago and received an email saying they were not available in my area at that time, and I would be notified when they were. Well, last night I was shopping at a Super Target by me, and there they were, on the shelf! Can I still get them?
I just wanted to let you know how much my boys LOVE your Monkey Bars. They ask me for a Monkey Bar every single day. I ordered a few cases from you this summer and have not regretted the purchase. Thanks for making such a delicious, healthy granola bar option.
Hi, I tried to get the 3 boxes over the summer, but I was not contacted at all. would still love to try these. thanks so much,
