Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
My Muse issue number 2 dropped into my inbox a couple of days ago and I must say I have enjoyed it immensely. Whilst not all dolls featured would be my chosen type, the photography is so invention and stunningly undertaken that I simply don't mind! This magazine really is a feast for the eyes and is rather inspirational in its representation of dolls as works of art.
There's also a rather fun dress making and photography competition in this month's issue!…

Any guesses who the dolls featured in the video are? Apparently there will soon be a competition to win them. More information as I get…

Refresh: Manual | Auto | Jump to current inning
Am I the only who thinks last night's drilling of Alfonso Soriano stems from some lingering bad feelings that date all the way back to last season?
Remember this? Last June Soriano hit three homers in a victory over the Braves. The next night, Tim Hudson drilled him with the first pitch. Warnings are given.
Ted Lilly takes matters into his own hands the next night and plunks the third batter of the game, shortstop Edgar Renteria, in the hand. Mind-reading umpire Jim Wolf ejects Lilly and then has this exchange with Lou Piniella that was picked up by ESPN's microphones. (Thanks to Bad Officiating blog for this)
WOLF: He's done
PINIELLA: Why?
WOLF: Because he threw at him
PINIELLA: How do you know he threw at him?
WOLF: I know he did.
PINIELLA: How do you know he did?
WOLF: Because I was waiting for it. I knew it was going to happen.
Renteria then exacts his own revenge on Mike Fontenot by stealing second and leading with an forearm to the face on a pop-up slide, a play that would've made Ty Cobb proud.
So Lilly, whom we know can be quite temperamental at times -- slamming his glove to the ground, fighting his manager in Toronto -- throws over catcher Brian McCann's head Tuesday night. Warnings are given. The next night Jeff Bennett breaks Soriano's hand with a pitch. It should be pointed out both Derrek Lee and Ryan Dempster defended Bennett after the game. Still Dempster responded by drilling McCann in the ribs in the fourth inning. (I'm wondering why everyone's throwing at McCann?) And around and around we go.
Today we've got picture of calm Carlos Zambrano, last seen kicking the crap out of a couple of coolers, going against Tim Hudson, the guy who started this whole mess.
The Cubs called up second baseman Eric Patterson to take Soriano's spot on the roster and then stuck him in left, a position he hasn't played in Iowa since being sent down in April.
The Cubs and Braves are wearing uniforms from 1948 in honor of the Cubs 60th season on WGN. Bob Brenly and Len Kasper will be wearing duds from the day and a few innings will be televised in black and white (can't wait.) To get in the spirit, I'm banging this all on a manual typewriter.
Today's lineups and we're ready to go.
I'm a sucker for all this throwback stuff. The game is in black and white with ancient and limited camera angles. Both teams lined up on the baselines for the intros, Bob Brenly looks like an extra from that Johnny Depp gangster movie they've been filming all over town. No offense, but I could've done without the anthem being done by a handbell choir, but that's just me.

From the Cubicle: Cubs-Braves

Hello guys, girls, and transgender posters. I have run into an unexpected problem. I am a member of a team, with a game in in pre-alpha, and the testers have brought to our attention a situation that was intentional, but may turn out to be a problem to most of our players. Here's a brief description of the game. Its not an mmo (right now), more similar to borderlands' drop in/drop out. (public, private/friends only) //Curently only six to a world, but planning to expand Its first person view, with the razer hydra used for a feature called precision plus (P+), or mouse and key'. Its based on mythology from numerous cultures from around the world, with our own little twist. Mid-High fantasy all players are humans who have no natural ability to use magic, so a meduim called lacrimas (crystal balls/shapes) are used to channel mana. The lacrimas also act mainly as an ID in-game, as well as other functions. Players start with stamina, and health only, mana is increased by leveling up and selecting it over the other two. But it takes five points allocated into mana to be able to use a basic spell. Now since humans aren't naturally able to use magic, the mana fee is somewhat heavy. (This is mainly to prevent spamming, and op range vs. melee, and promote strategy) Also people that oppose magic in favor of technology have altered lacrimas to prevent the use of mana in the surrounding area. They can be purchased by players to be placed on property, and used in warsby catapult. The anti- magic lacrimas are too big to be carried, and only stored in property, until activated or launched. Hope that was enough info. Now the problem is that many of the people we've had play that wanted to be a pure "mage" said its wasn't a viable playstyle. So our lead wants to take out magic use completely, or make it more similar to Skyrim's magic system. Now the melee is great on its own with or without a hydra, but to allow more freedom we'd rather keep it. So my queation to you is; Should we scrap the magic, or adjust it to allow for more balanced combat? TLDR- Should the magic in our combat, be buffed or scraped? |
it need to be balanced if you want the playerbase to accept it. I would suggest keeping a fixed amount of mana and improving "spells/abilities" as you level. So a fireball always costs 35 mana AND has the same casting time but the damage goes up as you level. Allow players to modify the spell with bonus slots as they level. |

Originally posted by waynejr2 Thanks for the input, it is skill based, each spell levels with use, but as you level you can modify spell traits, like duration,blast radius, dmg% increase, range etc. I'll consider the constant mana cost, slipped my mind. /thanks |
You could consider things like sacrifices. Like unable to touch iron, can't use weapons, physical+unhidable distinciton, slower leveling, increased death penalty. Could very easily fit into a lower magic setting if you turned magic users interaction to be more and more 'fey' to the normal world (The classical definition of fey meaning 'wrong'). Also means you wouldn't necessarily need to have a lacrimas system for non-magic players as well, have them worry about other systems like fuel, ammo, and crafting. Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. "There are still vast swaths of our planet's surface in which it's surprisingly easy to lose things. Even a ship the size of a large building." Richard Fisher |

Are you standing in line for the Verizon iPhone 4? It launches tomorrow so if you just can't wait to get your hands on one as fast as possible that's your best option right now. So let us know where you are, Apple Store, Verizon Wireless, Best Buy, Walmart? How's it looking where you are? Doors will open as early as 7am tomorrow morning so you shouldn't have too long to wait. Apple often provides coffee, water and puts on a show (and yes, it can be fun to hang out with other iPhone enthusiasts, waiting for the big launch event!) Just be sure to keep warm!
If you're standing in line, send us your pics or add them to the official thread in the Verizon iPhone Forum and we'll post them up right here!
Yea I went ahead and reserved one at the Apple store. They said they're not giving them out til 12pm and to make sure I bring gov issued ID. So there really is no pt I standing in line til I get there and show them my reservation confirmation.
should of pre ordered it last thursday
i got mine at monday at 12 and im a very happy camper
Just bought a verizon iphone from craigslist for 500 ( sold my at&t one for 550 ) and activated it with month to month no contract plan :) ... No standing in line for me :)
Complete fabrication
It could've been, but what they said is possible. There are some people selling the Verizon iphone4 for $500 or so right now (no idea why). And if you have an ATT one you can still get good money for it.
As for the contract, Verizon allows you to sign up for a month to month agreement if you provide the equipment or pay full price for it. This isn't a prepaid plan, but there is no contract.
Wow, you guys are rolling deep! That's pretty cool. Are you at least indoors? Noticing all of those short sleeved shirts I'd imagine you were. Either that, or you're in some warm climate (jealous!).
Have fun and be safe. It'll be interesting to see how the turnout for the Verizon launch differs from AT&T's launch. I think it's safe to say that it'll go a bit smoother this go 'round.
Here's hoping anyway.
That looks like a lot of fun but I have to say that I am honestly very happy to say I preordered and will be falling asleep with my iPhone next to me tonight :)
Yeah I bought one on craigslist as well and had it yesterday. I had it for about 3 hours and come to find out it was stolen and sold to me. yeah i bought a stolen phone, so I'm out 550.00 FML.
thats a bummer dude. craigslist is shady with cell phones for that reason. i plan on going at 5am. hope its early enough. what do you guys think
This guy should be banned for using the name of the CEO. I will be first in line to buy a Verizon iphone.
Enjoy what the rest of us have had since 2007!!!
Oh Chip! You WISH you had coverage like VZW has. Clearly keep dreaming on what WE'VE had for MANY years! AT&T SUCKS!
YOUR HIGH I had Verizon for over 15 years now with AT&T and AT&T has a way better connection and coverage than Verizon ever had .I had both so I know. Went on vacation and people with Verizon were walking around with there phones in the air while I was talking on the phone and surfing the web at the same time.
AT&T iPhoners will always be one up on Verizon iPhoneys. We'll always have the latest and greatest every July while they're stuck with OLD TECHNOLOGY! :D
We opened best buy at 7 not even one customer waiting here in St Louis. We have 40 of them.
In line as well. The difference for me is I've owned every IPhone ever made.
Currently on T-Mobile with slow internet. The moment I heard there was unlimited data I had to do it.
And well now I'm in a short line of 6 people. Worth it bkuz one tjingnive learned is IPhone keep there value!
Verizon did this during the early morning hours ona work or school day i believe you will see the action pick up later in the afternoon today and we will be one up on at&t!!! Remember presales beat at&t out of the water!!
I don't they compared AT&T preorders. They had it was a record break preorder sales in Verizon history. I glad that another carrier out the iPhone, but I'm sticking with AT&T. Enjoy your iPhone.
It's freaking cold here. People are crazy to be going to any store and standing in line. Crazy. For a phone!
No lines where I'm at in PA for the iphone. Not a lot of Apple fanboys at Verizon though. Would have been cool in 2007, but its right up there with the Pre 2 on everyones list.
I'm a troll, and I say any phone that doesn't even have a message indicator light is not a grownup's phone.

Verizon beefs up Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.1.2
Samsung's supersized smartphone gets a shot of Android 4.1.2 and a host of other surprises. Plus: a few bug fixes come along for the ride.
Verizon subscribers who own the Galaxy Note 2 may find a major update waiting for them the next time they power up their phone.

The update weighs in at around 246MB and takes a good 10 minutes or more to install. Owners of the Note 2 can update their device by following the instructions on Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Software Upgrade page.

California Fish and Game Commission Supports Leatherback Bill
The California Fish and Game Commission today voted unanimously to support the state bill to make the leatherback the official marine reptile of California. The historic legislation (AB 1776 - Fong) is sponsored by Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN).
The bill has passed the California Assembly with unanimous bi-partisan support, and is now set for a hearing in the state Senate on June 12.
Download our joint comments to Fish and Game here.
Take Action to Support the Bill here.
Read more about the bill here.
The vote of support from Fish and Game Commissioners came despite opposition from members of the California drift gillnet fleet whose fishing grounds have been restricted to prevent entanglement and killing of sea turtles along with whales and other marine animals. The fishers and compliant federal fishery managers want to expand the deadly fishery and be allowed to capture and kill more endangered leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles.
So in attempt to sway the Commissioners to oppose the bill, fishers falsely claimed that the leatherback is not "native" to California. This inaccurate argument came directly from National Marine Fisheries Service leadership in the Southwest region who wrote a negative and wildly misleading analysis of the bill and the status of leatherbacks.
TIRN and Oceana are working hard to defend the bill from these nefarious attacks and the fisher's disingenous efforts to undermine the bill. With help from sea turtle lovers around the state, we will get the bill passed.

Top 10 Movies of 2009
Before I share with you my favorite movie picks of the year, please bear in mind two things. I usually never, I repeat never see all the movies that are nominated for Academy Awards. The reason for that is simple. I have kids and they'd be bored to tears. And so, this year's 2009 list of top 10 movies is comprised of family films and date night films. Sure I had less date nights than family nights (blame that on our weekend babysitters having active social calendars) but all in all, we did manage to catch some great performances. And the best thing about it is most of these films are now available on DVD. So let's get this party started!
10. The Princess and the Frog - The year would not be complete without a classic animated musical film with a twist - compliments of Disney. When a handsome prince visits New Orleans so he can marry a wealthy southern belle, he is tricked by an evil man practicing Voo Doo and is turned into a frog. Instead of miraculously turning back into a human when he kisses a beautiful girl he believes is a princess, she turns into a frog too (since she's really a waitress who dreams of opening her own restaurant). Desperate to reverse the spell, the frogs befriend a cowardly alligator who along with a firefly with a French accent, leads them to the Voo doo lady who could possibly help break the curse. Are you on the edge of your seat like me? Add some really great music and you have a film that'll be a keeper on DVD too.
9. Fantastic Mr. Fox - George Clooney as a fox, nuff said. Okay, seriously, this star studded animated film features so many famous voices, you'll spend the entire time trying to figure out who everyone is. There's Meryl Streep (who plays Fox's wife), Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and many more. The film is based on the book by Roald Dahl about a Fox who devises a plan to outsmart two evil farmers. What I love about it is that while you're kids will enjoy it, it's a great film for adults too.
8. Up in the Air - Considering I've just been on nine flights in less than two months, I can almost relate to this film about a bachelor who flies more than 350 days per year. Of course, I couldn't wait to come home every time my plane took off in another direction, but not Clooney - he loves his detached lifestyle and his career of firing people when they least expect it. While the subject matter is depressing and certainly relatable, "Up in the Air" wins my vote as one of the best films of the year.
7. Aliens in the Attic - This family comedy made the list because my son cast his vote and proclaimed it to be one of his favorites of the year. Personally, any film that features Doris Roberts as a ninja grandma gets top honors in my book. Seriously, Aliens in the Attic has a great mix of comedy and suspense for every member of the family.
6. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - I have always been a fan of Ben Stiller and I happen to have loved the first edition of "Night at the Museum." The movie sequel did not disappoint as all the artifacts from the Museum of Natural History are packed up and shipped off to the Smithsonian. But this time, since Stiller's character Larry Daley has now become a rich inventor (and is no longer a museum security guard), he gets an urgent message from Jebbadiah (Owen Wilson) that his museum friends are about to be boxed up for all eternity. While Wilson gets trapped in an hourglass for a good portion of the film, Bill Hader and Amy Adams are two great additions as the hapless, General George Armstrong Custer and the fearless Amelia Earhart. Plus, Hank Azaria is hilarious as a pharaoh with a lisp.
5. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - Based on the book by Judi and Ron Barrett, this outrageous animated film is for the underdog in all of us. A down on his luck scientist who can't seem to get anything right, comes up with an invention that rains food. From candy, to pizza to you guessed it, meatballs, the town that was once known for being the anchovy capital of the world, becomes a major tourist attraction for its wacky food-related weather patterns. But when the weather machine starts going haywire, and the sky starts raining monster entrees, the villagers must run for their lives or risk being squashed by a plate of spaghetti.
4. Julie & Julia - I finally got the chance to watch this on DVD this weekend. You see, since I haven't had the time to have a night out with my girlfriends and this film never would have made my husband's date night list, I had to wait until it was released at Blockbuster and thankfully, it made it just in time for my review! I have to say, what I loved most about the film were the scenes with Amy Adams (two votes for Amy Adams this year), who is dissatisfied with her day job and is convinced by her husband to start a food blog. When she decides to re-create 365 days worth of Julia Child's recipes, she experiences the ups and downs of food preparation, and gains a loyal following of readers along the way. All the while, we are also given a glimpse into the life of Julia Child who didn't pursue her fascination with cooking until her 40's! This film resonated with me on two levels - as a blogger always wondering if anyone is reading what I'm writing and as a woman who just turned 40 and is still on the road to pursuing her true passions. The only thing I couldn't relate to...the cooking! If I can't re-create a meal in 20 minutes or less, I just move on to the microwave.
3. Up - This bittersweet animated film by Disney Pixar was one of the best of the year. The reason? Simple - within 10 minutes, I was hooked into the story of a man who had fallen madly in love with his free-spirited wife. While they couldn't have kids, they kept saving their money so that one day they could set off on the ultimate adventure but sadly, his wife died and he never got the chance to fulfill their lifelong dream (tears started streaming from my cheeks at this moment). When he's supposed to move into a nursing home, the retired balloon salesman devises a plan - he covers his home in thousands of helium balloons and miraculously, it lifts off the ground and sails through the air. Unbeknownst to the old man, a hapless eight year old wilderness explorer gets trapped on his front porch and tags along on the journey of a lifetime.
2. Paul Blart Mall Cop - Let me just preface this by saying that I love this movie. I love the fact that my son has memorized most of the script and one of his favorites is Pahud's classic line..."Peanut Blart and Jelly!" Kevin James never fails to disappoint as a clumsy security guard who winds up in the hot seat when the new guy he's supposed to train turns out to be an evil mastermind intend on robbing tons of money from the mall. When Paul finds out that Amy, the sales girl at "Un-be-weaveable" is one of the hostages, he's determined to save the day. Between the slapstick comedy, the hilarious one-liners and those cameos by Pahud, my family can watch "Paul Blart Mall Cop" over and over again and still laugh as hard as we did the first time we ever saw it.
1. The Blind Side - While most of our film picks have been comedies, our winning selection turns out to be a drama starring Sandra Bullock. While she's best known for her comedic roles, this departure turned out to be a winning role for her as she plays outspoken Leigh Ann Toughy, in the remarkable true story of professional football player Michael Oher. After returning from a high school basketball game one evening, Leigh Ann welcomes Michael into her home when she realizes he doesn't have a place to stay. As Leigh Ann and her family get to know Michael, they discover he's an incredibly talented athlete with a troubled past. Determined to help him achieve his true potential, Leigh Ann takes charge of his life while becoming the doting mother Michael never had.

Krista Tippett speaks with philosopher Jacob Needleman. As new democracies are struggling around the world, it's easy to forget that U.S. democracy was shaped by trial and error. A conversation about the "inward work" of democracy — the conscience that shaped the American experiment.
For the founders and for all spiritual teachers — and by 'founders,' by the way, I want to broaden the founders to include people who came later, including such people, of course, as Lincoln and also — one people may find strange — Frederick Douglass and people like that who spoke very powerfully of conscience. Conscience is an absolute power within the human psyche to intuit real values of good and evil and right and wrong. We are born with that capacity. It's not just socially conditioned into us. This is what the great traditions teach. This is what I think. But it is covered over by a lot of the egoism and chaos of our un-free inner life.
A democratic citizen is not a citizen who can do anything he wants. It's a citizen who has an obligation at the same time. And just to give you an example, if I may, the freedom of speech, what is the duty associated with it?
Well, if I have the right to speak, I have the duty to let you speak. Now, that's not so simple. It doesn't mean just to stop my talking and wait till you're finished and then come in and get you. It means I have an obligation inwardly — and that's what we're speaking about, is the inner dimension. Inwardly, I have to work at listening to you. That means I don't have to agree with you, but I have to let your thought into my mind in order to have a real democratic exchange between us. And that is a very interesting work of the human being, don't you think?
Individualism and individuality have to be separated. Individualism can take a turn where it's a kind of egoistic, selfish thing: Me, me, me, me, and what I want and what I care, what I think and what I like. Oh sure, we need to have the liberty to express all that, but a real individual is a different thing. And to be truly one's self is to be truly in contact with this great self within, this divinity within. And the paradox of true individuality is that the more you are in touch with what all human beings have in common under God, the more you are uniquely what you, yourself, are. And that's why I say we need to bring back the obligations that go along with the rights in order to understand the depths of what the human rights really mean.
"I don't believe that math and nature respond to democracy. Just because very clever people have rejected the role of the infinite, their collective opinions, however weighty, won't persuade mother nature to alter her ways. Nature is never wrong."

Can Turkey Inspire Egypt as a Religious Role Model?
by Mustafa Abdelhalim, guest contributor
Last week, Egyptians went to the polls to participate in the first presidential election since Mubarak's downfall in February 2011. Going forward, the new president, who will be elected in the second phase of elections in June, should look to examples from other countries that have undergone successful democratic transitions.
When asked what leader outside their own country they most admired, a recent poll from the University of Maryland found that 63 percent of Egyptians answered Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, indicating that Egyptians may be interested in learning from Turkey. Turkey can serve as a relevant model because it has successfully dealt with three key challenges facing Egypt — the relationship of the army to a civilian government, economic growth and fostering positive international relations.
Presented to Congress on January 29, 1866, signers of this Petition for Universal Suffrage included pioneer suffragists Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and members of the former Women's Loyal National League, Ernestine Rose, Lucy Stone, and Antoinette Brown Blackwell. This exceptional combination of signatures represents some of the period's foremost advocates for suffrage and abolition.

Parker Palmer on Healing the Heart of Democracy
by Kate Moos, executive producer
Participants at a conference reflect on a plenary session speech by Parker Palmer. (photo: Fund for Theological Education)
Parker Palmer is the founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal and the author of nine books, including well-known titles such as The Courage to Teach and Let Your Life Speak. He is the recipient of many awards and honorary degrees, perhaps most recently the Utne Reader's 2011 Visionaries, 25 People Who are Changing the World.
His new book, Healing the Heart of Democracy: The Courage to Create a Politics Worthy of the Human Spirit, takes a deep and wise look at the loss of values that have impoverished American democracy and public life. Palmer proposes ways to rediscover what the great political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville called "habits of the heart" that are essential to a democracy.
Palmer writes:
"The human heart, this vital core of the human self, holds the power to destroy democracy or to make it whole. That is why our nineteenth-century visitor, Alexis de Tocqueville, insisted in his classic Democracy in America that democracy's future would depend heavily on generations of American citizens cultivating the habits of the heart that support political wholeness."
We corresponded by email over the course of several weeks for this interview.
Parker, you cite five habits of the heart you feel are necessary to moving forward as a democracy: understand that we are all in this together, develop an appreciation for the value of "otherness," cultivate the ability to hold tension in life-giving ways, generate a sense of personal voice and agency, and strengthen our capacity to create community.
In and of themselves, none of these habits seem too complex or difficult for us to achieve, and I'm guessing most people would find it easy to embrace them, at least conceptually. What prevents us from becoming better at practicing these habits?
You're right, Kate, of course. Saying the thing is always easier than doing the thing! So it's important to understand why we have trouble embracing good ideas and allowing them to animate the way we live.
We resist the first habit of understanding that we are all in this together because it's easier to pretend that we live in individual silos than to allow ourselves to get the fact. To take but one example, that the large and tragic achievement gap in public education between white kids and kids of color is something we all pay a price for sooner or later. If my son is doing well in school, great; I'm happy. But if his black and Latino classmates are doing poorly, I need to be unhappy about that, very unhappy, and advocate for the changes in public education that would help close the gap.
Among other things, that gap helps explain the fact that we now have more African Americans somewhere in the judicial and penal system than we had in slavery ten years before the Civil War. And that's not only costly to this society in terms of the threat of crime, the cost of incarceration, etc., it's flat-out evil in the way it crushes the spirits of young people who have just as much promise as my son does.
So, when you step outside your silo and understand your interconnectedness, life becomes more complicated and ethically demanding. But the bottom line is, what do you stand for: narrow self-interest or the common good? And do you understand that narrow self-interest can be self-defeating while caring about the common good can be a way of caring about yourself and those you love?
I'm 72 years old, so I reflect more often on the fact that I'm going to die than I did when I was 30, or 40, or 50. On that day, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be saying to myself, "Boy, am I glad that I spent all my years on Earth feathering my own nest and not giving a hoot about anyone other than my family and friends!" I'm pretty sure I'd rather be saying, "I'm glad I did what I could during my brief sojourn on this planet to help bring a caring community into being, to love my neighbor as myself."
As you know, Kate, I say quite a lot in the book about each of those five habits, but let me say a few words about one more: "Cultivate the ability to hold tension in life-giving ways." This one is right at the heart of our democracy, both institutionally and personally. America's founders, for all their blind spots, gave us a set of governing institutions whose genius lies in their ability to hold tension creatively over time. Democracy is all about taking the tension of our differences and using it as an engine to keep moving us forward on important social issues. So why is it hard to live this one? Because it requires us to resist the ancient and well-known "fight or flight response" that kicks in when we find ourselves in a tension-ridden situation. Our instinct is either to run away or to punch out the source of the tension!
We all know at some level that if we can hold tension creatively — in the family, in the workplace, in the larger community — we often emerge with a better solution to the problem than if we ran away or used force to control the situation. My favorite close-to-the-bone example involves raising a teenager. Good parents can see their teenage child's potential and "true self" while they also see that child making some bad choices and perhaps even going off the rails. But good parenting means holding our children in a way that both acknowledges their long-term possibilities and their current realities, knowing that the worst thing we could do is to try to force the outcome. Many of us know how to do that kind of "holding" in our private lives, so we have the capacity to do some of the same in our public lives.
The key, of course, is love. Love leads us to hold the tensions we experience as parents in a creative way. Of course, the kind of love we have for those close to us cannot be replicated in the public realm. But can a different form of love — love of the promise of the human spirit, love of the common good — lead us to hold political tensions creatively? I'm not sure, but I sure hope so, because a politics rooted in greed or hunger for power rather than love of the commonweal is a politics headed toward self-destruction.
I'd like to devote much of my remaining time and energy toward helping to make our public life more compassionate and more generative — and I know many, many people who share that vision and that desire.
The Conscience Behind the "Idea of America"
by Krista Tippett, host
It's easy to forget, especially around U.S. Independence Day, how much trial and error went into the creation of American democracy, how much of what Americans now take for granted wasn't fully formed for decades after 1776. The warm and wise philosopher Jacob Needleman looked back at the American founders with this in mind for his book The American Soul. He took apart the ingredients that grew up our democracy. And he found that every iconic institution, every political value, had "inward work" of conscience behind it. Every hard-won right had a corresponding responsibility.
It feels important to me, right now, to revisit the 2003 conversation I had with Jacob Needleman about this, and have been formed by ever since. In our historical moment, it is as clear as ever before that the American republic is an ongoing work in progress. And at the very same time, young democracies are fighting to emerge across the world and are looking for instruction and models.
To rise to this occasion, I believe, we need to remember and pass on this inward work as much as the outer forms of government that were long in the making. As we created this week's show, we also pulled in words Jacob Needleman points to — of founding voices of "the idea of America." These include George Washington and Thomas Paine, but also Frederick Douglass and Walt Whitman.
For this commentary, I offer excerpts of Jacob Needleman's insights from our interview — and a little Walt Whitman — for remembering and reflection.
On the rights of the individual
"Individualism and individuality have to be separated. Individualism can take a turn where it's a kind of egoistic, selfish thing: Me, me, me, me, and what I want and what I care, what I think and what I like. Oh sure, we need to have the liberty to express all that, but a real individual is a different thing. And to be truly one's self is to be truly in contact with this great self within, this divinity within. And the paradox of true individuality is that the more you are in touch with what all human beings have in common under God, the more you are uniquely what you, yourself, are. And that's why I say we need to bring back the obligations that go along with the rights in order to understand the depths of what the human rights really mean."
On freedom
"A democratic citizen is not a citizen who can do anything he wants. It's a citizen who has an obligation at the same time. And just to give you an example, if I may, the freedom of speech, what is the duty associated with it? Well, if … I have the right to speak, I have the duty to let you speak. Now, that's not so simple. It doesn't mean just to stop my talking and wait till you're finished and then come in and get you. It means I have an obligation inwardly — and that's what we're speaking about, is the inner dimension. Inwardly, I have to work at listening to you. That means I don't have to agree with you, but I have to let your thought into my mind in order to have a real democratic exchange between us. And that is a very interesting work of the human being, don't you think?"
On conscience
For the founders and for all spiritual teachers — and by "founders," by the way, I want to broaden the founders to include people who came later, including such people, of course, as Lincoln and also — one people may find strange — Frederick Douglass and people like that who spoke very powerfully of conscience. Conscience is an absolute power within the human psyche to intuit real values of good and evil and right and wrong. We are born with that capacity. It's not just socially conditioned into us. This is what the great traditions teach. This is what I think. But it is covered over by a lot of the egoism and chaos of our un-free inner life."
On the importance of "thinking" in public, political life
"Shouting is not thinking. 'Come let us reason together,' the prophet says, God says to Isaiah… I think the moment you start thinking together with someone, immediately their eyes light up… I must confess I spoke to — I won't say who, but I spoke to some members of Congress not long ago. We had a very quiet evening together and we started opening up, just what you and I are doing now. And they said, in effect, you know, 'We never get a chance to do this. We're in there trying to, you know, speak to television cameras or make points with electorates or with lobby groups, but we never…' I said, 'You mean you never come together and just reflect together?' And they said no. To me, that's the dirty secret of America at the moment. That's the problem."
From Walt Whitman's essay Democratic Vistas, which Jacob Needleman also includes as part of the long tradition of the foundational "idea of America," and which ends our show.
"I say the mission of government, henceforth in civilized lands, is not repression alone and not authority alone, not even of law, nor the rule of the best men, but higher than the highest arbitrary rule, to train communities through all their grades beginning with individuals and ending there again to rule themselves. To be a voter with the rest is not so much. And this, like every institute, will have its imperfections. But to become an enfranchised man and now, impediments removed, to stand and start without humiliation and equal with the rest, to commence the grand experiment whose end may be the forming of a full-grown man or woman — that is something."
Pharaoh Has Left Town, Now the Hard Work Begins!
by Rose Aslan, guest contributor

Tahrir, or Liberation, Square, now the most famous square in the world, got its name after the revolution of 1919, when both Muslim and Christian Egyptians marched in the streets of Cairo to demand their freedom from the British. It didn't officially receive its name until the revolution of 1952 that led to the fall of the Egyptian monarchy.
Aptly named, the Egyptian people freed themselves from Hosni Mubarak by standing their ground in Liberation Square. Yesterday, the news spread like wildfire throughout Egypt, and within seconds the entire world was celebrating the successful revolution and courage of the Egyptian people to free their country from Pharaoh. So, now what?
Now the hard work begins. The real revolution must start from inside Egyptians themselves. Here might be a good time to mention the oft-quoted Qur'anic verse:
"Truly, God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves." (Quran 13:11)
Muslim scholars constantly quote this verse to drive the point home that our external circumstances cannot change unless we purify ourselves and live wholesome and moral lives. Egyptians have taken it upon themselves to change their political condition (all on their own, no thanks to America!), and they have heroically rid their country of an evil dictator. They now must act to rid their country of the many socio-economic problems that have plagued the country for decades. I hate to be a pessimist, but whoever takes over Egypt once elections take place will have a huge task at hand and will only succeed if Egyptians are able to maintain the enthusiasm and spirit of cooperation and responsibility that we have seen in the past two weeks in Tahrir Square.
Corruption is so rampant in Egypt that people think nothing of paying a bribe to the police to avoid receiving a moving violation or sneaking a few extra pounds to a government employee to move their paperwork a bit quicker. Bribes are part of daily life in Egypt, and, in most cases, you can't get anything done without greasing someone else's palm. People have forgotten how to follow the rules and have gotten so used to playing the game that they don't know what the rules are. You would be at a loss to find someone who can tell you who has the right-of-way at a stop sign (since they don't stop at them anyway!); the only rule in driving in Cairo is there are no rules.
Ministers and other cronies of Mubarak have been pocketing the majority of Egypt's wealth while many Egyptians scrape by on less than a dollar a day. Poverty and illiteracy are rampant throughout the country. According to UNICEF, the literacy rate in Egypt is only 72 percent, with women faring much worse than men. Forty-five percent of all women over the age of 15 are illiterate, and 85 percent of rural households run by women are illiterate.
The public school system is a mess, classrooms are overflowing, and teachers do a half-baked job teaching since they don't make a living wage. They make their real income after school when they tutor the same students they see in the morning at their homes for excessive rates. The teachers have no other way to support their families and children need to pay for their lessons in order to pass exams that will determine their future.

Out of 18 million residents in greater Cairo, nearly a million souls — primarily migrant workers who came to the city looking for ways to support their family — inhabit al-Arafa, the "city of the dead" in Cairo. They hang their laundry from tombstones, and their homes lack running water and electricity. Cairo is overrun by other shantytowns, entire neighborhoods of unzoned residential neighborhoods that do not exist on the map, that lack basic infrastructure to support its burgeoning population.
The UNDP Human Development Index ranks Egypt 101 out of 177 countries: the gross national income per capita in 2008 is only $2,015, while 21.6 percent of the population lives below the national poverty line of $2 per day and more than 12 percent of children under than age of five suffer from malnutrition.
While there are reports of discrimination against religious minorities in Egypt, most ordinary Egyptians, no matter their religious identity, have little hope of social mobility if they are born into the wrong class. If you don't have a wasta, someone with connections, you have little chance of finding a good job, even if you receive straight As in school and university. A successful college graduate without connections couldn't hope for more than a low-paying and mindless job in a government office, that is, if they are lucky to get a job at all.
In the streets, women of all ages and religious preferences are constantly harassed, including those who wear the face veil. Men, both young and old, seem to think it is their God-given right to grope women's bodies and make explicit gestures and cat-calls at them. It's gotten so bad that a group of internet-savvy young people got together and designed an interactive map to collect data on the rate of sexual harassment in the country. People think nothing of throwing their wrappers on the sidewalk or out of the bus window. While they keep their homes immaculate, the streets of Cairo and other cities are filthy.
We have seen a glimpse of Egypt's potential at Tahrir Square. People have been treating each other with kindness and respect, reclaiming the dignity that the regime has stolen from them. Men and women from all socio-economic backgrounds organized clean-ups to keep the area tidy, set up mobile clinics to care for the injured and sick, passed around food, and made new friends. Women were able to move freely through the crowds without being harassed. Christians and Muslims held hands and prayed together. In the early morning after Mubarak's resignation, the youth swiftly organized groups to begin a clean-up of the entire downtown area where the protests took place. Now that's inspiring, how many revolutionaries have you seen doing that?
Egyptians are resilient and courageous, and they could bring their beloved country to a new standard if they manage to keep up the momentum of change. Today, let's celebrate a huge milestone in Egyptian history, but then let us prepare ourselves for the long process that lies ahead.

Hartz DuraPlay™ for Dogs -- 1 Toy
Our blind lab's favorite toy
Our lil guy is tough on toys and this has lasted the test of time. 9 months and it doesn't show wear. It is used daily, best toy we bought for him so far.
April 10, 2013
Not as durable as I had hoped
My dog loved this toy. I never saw such a big grin on his face as when he started to play with it. He danced around with it, threw it, chased it...unfortunately, it only lasted 30 MINUTES before he had torn a hole in it.
I have a 15 lb shichon with an underbite, so he can't bite as well as most dogs, but he is a determined and effective chewer. I am so sad this toy didn't last longer than the rest...
April 3, 2013
Not for power chewers
This toy lasted one day for our power chewer (lab/pit bull mix). Cannot recommend what-so-ever.
February 23, 2013
Love this toy!
I have a Rottweiler /Samoyed mix. She kills every toy in seconds. Even tough brands with extra stitching. This toy three weeks later is still sqeaking and has no holes. She absolutely loves it!
February 2, 2013
The Bees Knees
Great for keeping interest going, this is a little big for Coco but she can manage to just pick it up and run away with it. Cool noises, much loved new toy!! Will get the other options in this brand as well.

If you think going to the stadium is all about beer and hot dogs, guess again. As sports fans have gotten more sophisticated and ticket prices have risen, so has cuisine at sports arenas. That means you're as likely to see someone enjoying sushi or a single malt Scotch as you are a Budweiser. And, D ... More >>
Last week, Luther Campbell, AKA Uncle Luke, AKA Miami New Times columnist, exploded the internet with his off-the-cuff list of the ten hottest local female TV newscasters.

Gillete Stadium is a long way away. Like 1,400 miles away. Like a 22-hour-drive-by-car away. No one has the time or gas money for that. So it's easy to feel left out with all the magic happening over in Foxborough, Massachusetts (especially after their win against the Saints). But it's all right. B ... More >>
Except for Cool Runnings and a few scenes from Blue Lagoon, Jamaica has never had much of a film scene. So when Shottas came out in 2002, it became a cult hit.

Fresh off their defeat in trying to get public funds to renovate their stadium, the Miami Dolphins are planning to throw their hat into the ring and bid for the 2018 Super Bowl.

Former Miami Dolphin running back Larry Johnson is now a DJ at Tootsie's. Well, he was a Miami Dolphin for a preseason and really made his name as a Kansas City Chief. But still.

We are a long way away from MetLife Stadium, but New York transplants don't plan on trading the Jets anytime soon.

Your Miami Dolphins have exploded the collective assholes of the entire NFL by shooting out of the gate 3-0.

The Miami Dolphins went into Indianapolis and defeated the Colts 24-20 on Sunday. The Fins have started the season 2-0, and on the road, no less.

The Miami Dolphins faced the Browns to open the NFL season on Sunday and proceeded to hand the city of Cleveland more misery by taking the 23-10 win. It was a helluva way to start the season.

The Miami Dolphins opened up the 2013 NFL preseason by dropping what was a slopfest to the Dallas Cowboys 24-20 Sunday night.

There's music that sticks with you — like Megan's can't-get-it-out-of-your-head "Zou Bisou Bisou" birthday party bump and grind from Mad Men — and music you can't wait to forget: as in whatever the hell Katharine McPhee was screaming on that revolving mattress-prison during the ambush production number on Smash's worst episode to date.
Which seems an appropriate way to begin our medley of some of the week's notable hits and misses.
Adam Arkin just can't quit Justified.
The actor had previously directed five episodes of FX's Western-themed series and will next guest-star on two episodes this season, EW reports.
I have seldom met anyone who didn't think earning a quick four thousand dollars — cash — for an hour or two of work, wasn't a wonderful idea. Of course, everything must be relative. I wouldn't shill for the tobacco companies, no matter what they paid. But serving a subpoena — a subject that we will visit again this summer under less pleasant circumstances — is just the ticket for Flynn and Provenza, who rope the erstwhile civilian tech, Buzz Watson, into their scheme by promising him a third of their take: two hundred dollars. For those who have a bit of trouble with division, Lts. Flynn and Provenza may have misrepresented their fee to the gullible Buzz. On the other hand, the love of money can do strange things to people.For regular watchers, this is our seasonal Flynn and Provenza episode... read more

The veteran actor (Northern Exposure, Chicago Hope), who still does stellar guest shots on shows like The Chicago Code and Sons of Anarchy, has quietly emerged as one of the small screen's most reliable helmers. At FX, he's practically a house director, having shot episodes of The Riches, Dirt, SOA and Terriers. But his finest behind-the-camera work has been on Justified, and he outdid himself with this week's installment, "Reckoning."

WHO Issues New Guidance on Dietary Salt and Potassium
Recommendations aimed at reducing risk of hypertension and heart disease (Jan. 31)
Adults should consume less than 2,000 mg of sodium, or 5 grams of salt, and at least 3,510 mg of potassium per day, according to new guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). A person with either elevated sodium levels or low potassium levels could be at risk of increased blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Sodium is found naturally in a variety of foods, including milk and cream (approximately 50 mg of sodium per 100 g) and eggs (approximately 80 mg/100 g). Sodium is also found, in much higher amounts, in processed foods, such as bread (approximately 250 mg/100 g); processed meats, such as bacon (approximately 1,500 mg/100 g); and snack foods, such as pretzels, cheese puffs, and popcorn (approximately 1,500 mg/100 g), as well as in condiments, such as soy sauce (approximately 7,000 mg/100 g) and bouillon or stock cubes (approximately 20,000 mg/100 g).
Potassium-rich foods include beans and peas (approximately 1,300 mg of potassium per 100 g); nuts (approximately 600 mg/100 g); vegetables, such as spinach, cabbage, and parsley (approximately 550 mg/100 g); and fruits, such as bananas, papayas, and dates (approximately 300 mg/100 g).
Currently, most people consume too much sodium and not enough potassium, the WHO says.
Dr. Francesco Branca, director of the WHO's Department of Nutrition for Health and Development, remarked: "Elevated blood pressure is a major risk for heart disease and stroke — the number one cause of death and disability globally. These guidelines also make recommendations for children over the age of 2. This is critical because children with elevated blood pressure often become adults with elevated blood pressure."
According to the WHO, measures to reduce sodium consumption and to increase potassium consumption — thereby decreasing the risk of hypertension and heart disease — can include food and product labeling, consumer education, updating national dietary guidelines, and negotiating with food manufacturers to reduce the amount of salt in processed foods.
