Dear readers, It has been a pleasure to blog among you. Alas, with my life putting significant restrictions on my leisure time, I find that I can no longer devote the amount of effort and time that I would like to so wide a consolidation of hobbies as I have. In other words, I've been trying to do too much, and, upon careful inspection of my deepest wishes, I am called upon to focus on a

The following is a short paper I was required to write for my summer course entitled "Wal-Mart: A Study in Contemporary Capitalism". I thought I would share it with you, perhaps to spark interest in this matter, or to inform you if you're already aware. Do keep in mind that this article assumes a measure of knowledge of what's going on, and that it refers to two readings that are available

Today was such a glorious day (and a holiday, at that!), that I decided to indulge in one of my passions: old homes. I didn't know it before I moved here, but Brantford is one of Canada's oldest cities. It was once a major hub that connected Chicago, Toronto, New York, and other centers of trade and business. It resides in the Grand Valley, through which the Grand River and its tributaries run

Animal testing costs the American public over $136 billion annually. Drugs that pass animal tests end up harming or killing humans about 61% of the time. Between 25 and 50 billion animals are meaninglessly killed in laboratories each year. Up to 90% of animal test results are discarded as they are inapplicable to man. See more facts, as well as "Fifty Disasters of Animal Testing" I remember

I know why they call it "March Break": all of our teachers get together and plot the best way to break us! Seriously, and with no offense intended to any professors out there, mid-March is an absolute nightmare for students like me. (Our break actually happens in February, when there really isn't anything to write home about.) With that being said, I've had zero time to work on any creative

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Valley Institution for Women. It's located in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, and is a multi-level federal institution with about 145 inmates. Tours of the facility aren't standard procedure, so it was quite an opportunity to be welcome there merely by virtue of my being a Criminology student. I didn't know what to expect, and the experience turned

Making your blog distinct, with its own style and design, is much easier than you might think. When I first joined Blogger, I was very confused about how to work with it. Heck, I didn't even know how to use the page elements. It wasn't until I found out how to make and install my own backgrounds that it suddenly all became clear. Now, I have great fun with all aspects of my blog. It's even a

With green living increasingly present in our minds, and tough economic times encouraging us to look at lower-cost alternatives, freecycling just makes sense. What is that, anyway? Well, as the name implies, it's free recycling. It's the second "R" in "repair, reuse, recycle". It's community members getting together via message boards and exchanging a variety of goods, from children's toys
