Eileen Hanson Get over it?! That's what white people always say. And they are the same people who refuse to buy minority baby dolls for their children. We are indeed, one human race but the fact remains that race is a relevant social justice issue and its worth a mention.
Amber Carr When I learned CPR the dolls were blue...
Kendall Dodson um yeah... mine were blue too. I think its sad that anyone can take something as small as the difference between skin color of CPR dummies and make it a race issue. The truth is, those women could probably give half a crap as to what color, the dummies are. Seriously, they're plastic. Can't we just say that its a blessing that they are learning CPR in order to potentially save a life someday? I think its grasping at straws to say that the color of CPR dummies is a matter of racial fairness. There are much bigger equality issues in the world that need to have our energy focused on.
Angel Stackhouse well said Kendall =]
Christianne Tisch my first cpr certification class they were blue, my most recent (and current certification) they were a mix of peach and chocolate. (yea I refer to skin tones in relation to delicious foods)
Beautiful Iowa! #Iowa

Rachel Davelaar I do love my homestate and the midwestern people and thankfully I still get to be around those good people in Kansas, but it is a different state and there are times I get homesick for cornfields and rolling hills.

Mickey Betz Kirkwood College is about 1 or 2 blocks behind our mobile home. They have installed a windturbine (made here in Cedar Rapids) for students to learn about. It is really weird driving into the park, seeing the blades. This is one thing I never thought would be my neighbor...

Stephen Barr There is much uncertainty around the exact origin of the name, "Des Moines," whether it is Native American, French or a mash-up (to use a contemporary term). I know because I did a report about it when I was in elementary school.
Megan Ogle :) I grew up in Iowa!
Lana Tavernaro How do I buy this? This is perfect for my best friend...
Stacy Matuszak Duncan I grew up in Des Moines and took French in high school. I believe we figured Des Moines translates to 'of the monks'...

Jane Terry As a rancher all my life, I'd say, "What's the point?" I understand why we let robotics build our cars on an assembly line (bo-ring), but why pass up an opportunity to be outside?
Jane Terry On second thought, I can remember hours of an aching backside, raking hay, wishing I had a clone! :)
Janet Kaufman Bad idea
Jenne Ruegge not really news.. already have GPS systems in place that require very minimal human effort in navigating the fields. :( My husband rode along in one this spring on our ranch.

Wendy Ferry My children have done this in Austrlaia. It is quite a good way to get them close to animals. The sheep are loved by their farmers and wouldnt be used if it was hurtful.
Jane Wang @Wendy Ferry Thanks for the feedback : )
Jayne Barry but aren't they being attacked really? This child isn't letting go and i imagine her weight on his neck is very uncomfortable, even painful. I'm sorry Jane you didn't like my feedback, i'm just a big softy when it comes to animals. I wonder, if this goat bit that child, whhe be put to sleep??
Jayne Barry i mean sheep or who ever they wrestle to the ground. And yes the children really do get "close" to the animal. Infact right in their personal space. I wish the children were enjoying the animals in a positive way rather than causing pain and discomfort....
Jane Wang @Jayne Barry No apologies needed. I'm glad we can freely share different views : )
