Editor's Note: This story was originally published in the May 2007 issue of Scientific American.
August 14, 2003, was a typical warm day in the Midwest. But shortly after 2:00 P.M. several power lines in northern Ohio, sagging under the high current they were carrying, brushed against some overgrown trees and shut down. Such a disturbance usually sets off alarms in a local utility's control room, where human operators work with controllers in neighboring regions to reroute power flows around the injury site.
On this day, however, the alarm software failed, leaving local operators unaware of the problem. Other controllers who were relaying, or "wheeling," large amounts of power hundreds of miles across Ohio, Michigan, the northeastern U.S. and Ontario, Canada, were oblivious, too. Transmission lines surrounding the failure spot, already fully taxed, were forced to shoulder more than their safe quota of electricity.
To make matters worse, utilities were not generating enough "reactive power"—an attribute of the magnetic and electric fields that move current along a wire. Without sufficient reactive power to support the suddenly shifting flows, overburdened lines in Ohio cut out by 4:05 P.M. In response, a power plant shut down, destabilizing the system's equilibrium. More lines and more plants dropped out. The cascade continued, faster than operators could track with the decades-old monitoring equipment that dots most of the North American power grid, and certainly much faster than they could control. Within eight minutes 50 million people across eight states and two Canadian provinces had been blacked out. The event was the largest power loss in North American history.
The 2003 disaster was a harbinger, too. Within two months, major blackouts occurred in the U.K., Denmark, Sweden and Italy. In September 2003 some 57 million Italians were left in the dark because of complications in transmitting power from France into Switzerland and then into Italy. In the U.S., the annual number of outages affecting 50,000 or more customers has risen for more than a decade.
In addition to inconvenience, blackouts are causing major economic losses. The troubles will get worse until the entire transmission system that moves power from generating plants to neighborhood substations is overhauled. More high-voltage lines must be built to catch up with the rising demand imposed by ever more air conditioners, computers and rechargeable gadgets.
But perhaps even more important, the power grid must be made smarter. Most of the equipment that minds the flow of electricity dates back to the 1970s. This control system is not good enough to track disturbances in real time—as they happen— or to respond automatically to isolate problems before they snowball. Every node in the power grid should be awake, responsive and in communication with every other node. Furthermore, the information that operators receive at central control stations is sparse and at least 30 seconds old, making it impossible for them to react fast enough to stop the large cascades that do start. A self-healing smart grid—one that is aware of nascent trouble and can reconfigure itself to resolve the problem—could reduce blackouts dramatically, as well as contain the chaos that could be triggered by terrorist sabotage. It would also allow more efficient wheeling of power, saving utilities and their customers millions of dollars during routine operation. The technology to build this smart grid largely exists, and recent demonstration projects are proving its worth.
Overwhelmed by Progress
The transmission system has become vulnerable to blackouts because of a century-long effort to reduce power losses. As power moves through a wire, some of it is wasted in the form of heat. The loss is proportional to the amount of current being carried, so utilities keep the current low and compensate by raising the voltage. They have also built progressively longer, higher-voltage lines to more efficiently deliver power from generation plants to customers located far away. These high-voltage lines also allow neighboring utilities to link their grids, thereby helping one another sustain a critical balance between generation supply and customer demand.

A word from wotto: Sonmi. So glad to see her work over here. This is one creative girl. If you haven't seen her work then you must have been hiding under a nicely painted rock. /sonmisonmi.com/ is the place to see all her wonderful creations. She is an inspiration to many artists and is blessed with the ability to stay grounded and supportive of others. Welcome Sonmi, pull up a seat by the fire and lets fill a sketchbook with doodles.
Tell us a little about this design.
Lately I've been interested in 3D imagery, like actually using the positioning between blues and reds to create depth. This design was inspired by the interest... though obviously isn't 3D itself. It's just designery fluff. Where in the world are you? Madison, Wisconsin, USA! We live next to a wise, old tree, with rotting roots and squirrels living in every hole. It's not unlike the tree in Poltergeist. It makes watching thunderstorms through our large window pretty terrifying. What is your favourite medium? I work a ton with digital media. Too much. Photoshop + Wacom tablet makes things so easy. For analog media, I love a simple mechanical pencil. It produces great linework, and you never have to sharpen it. Which superhero power would you like the most and why?Telepathy, maybe. I'd love to know what a dog is thinking sometimes. Who is the best villain ever?I like villains who have a soft side. Sorry if that's not specific enough!
What was the last song you listened to?A song by my friend's band, Burger Kingdom. Favourite quote/lyric?One written by an art pal of mine, Will Bryant: "I like nice people who make cool things." I live by this phrase! Who has been the best client you have designed for?I don't know if there's a best one; I'm still at the point of freelancing where I get excited working with any client, and haven't been burned quite that much yet. I really enjoy working with the magazine of my alma mater, The University of Wisconsin- Madison. They ask me to do some illustrations for them then and again. Who would you most like to collaborate with?Anyone who's open to suggestions.
How many t-shirts do you own?Too many. I can't really buy that many more. Over 100. Which website do you go to everyday?Threadless. Twitter. Flickr. This is pretty much my entire online existence.

The Center for Integrated Primary Care is proud to offer a course in Motivational Interviewing designed for healthcare professionals working in the Patient Centered Medical Home. Participants who complete the course are awarded a Certificate of Intensive Training in Motivational Interviewing. The curriculum is grounded in the literature describing effective Motivational Interviewing training and is tailored to practitioners working in primary care:
Developing competence in the practice of Motivational Interviewing (MI) requires an investment of time. All of our faculty have extensive training in MI and a majority of our faculty are members of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). Research in MI training has shown that experiential workshops and individual practice and coaching are more effective than passively viewing presentations on Motivational Interviewing. The CIPC training program is grounded in this evidence. Participants will receive intensive training in Motivational Interviewing through group and individual practice. This includes 20 hours of group training, either in person in Worcester, MA or live via the internet. It also includes two sessions of practice in a telephone interview with an Acting Patient. These sessions will be scored and the scoring will be the basis for individual feedback and coaching provided to every participant.

By Peter Glynn
Sir Trevor Brooking's vision of developing English teams packed with skilful players will be boosted tomorrow with the official opening of St. George's Park.
The Football Association's new £100m national football centre will help champion The Future Game philosophy.
That concept aims to develop forthcoming generations of English players with the technique and decision-making skills to compete at the highest level of the game.
Brooking said: "The Future Game documented what the successful teams were doing internationally in comparison to what we were doing.
"It also showed how we had to change how we developed our younger players to be able to cope with the modern game as it moved forwards.
FA Director Of Football Development Brooking is adamant the quality of young English players must improve to ensure we can compete with our leading foreign counterparts.
The Future Game guides, published in 2010, encourage a playing philosophy based on quality passing, possession and building play through the three-thirds of the pitch.
Unsurprisingly, there is no talk of the long-ball.
Outlining the ingredients of The Future Game to Martin Tyler, Brooking said: "You have to have ten really skilful outfield players.
"You can't have one or two of your outfield players that aren't that good in possession. We have to get the English youngsters at 16 so good that a lot of them are going to come through."
Brooking wants to develop more players who possess the ability to beat an opponent with varied and unique dribbling skills as well as players who are capable of playing in different systems.
The Future Game philosophy has a flexibility to incorporate different playing systems. There is no rigid adherence to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.
Brooking added: "I think you should have the coach decide what the system is, depending on the group of players they've got and the opposition.
"It was interesting when we won the U17s European Championship a couple of years ago, John Peacock [Head Coach] will tell you we played three systems in five matches."
The Future Game reflects many of the styles and approaches demonstrated by high-performing teams at European and world level.
But Brooking is quick to note that it isn't a replica of any particular country's playing philosophy and is underpinned with England's own DNA in which desire, work-rate and competitiveness are continually encouraged.
He added: "I always remember Arsene Wenger saying to me if you lined up eight players from all the big countries, if they were all of the same ability, he'd pick the English ones because of all those English characteristics."
The Future Game is included in all of The FA's coaching courses held at St.George's Park and coaches can purchase products which outline the detail of the philosophy.
Three new Live Coaching Session USB cards, with over seven hours of coaching footage will be launched this week for the official opening of St.George's Park.
To watch Sir Trevor Brooking discussing The Future Game with Martin Tyler click on the video player above.
Taster sessions from The FA's new Future Game Live Coaching Session USB cards which include footage of The FA's National Coaches delivering sessions at St.George's Park are also featured.

Mortgage Payoff Calculator
These loans are usually five to 10 years long and expect borrowers to repay only a fraction of their debt during that time. While they're often easier to qualify for than a traditional 30-year loan, and charge lower interest rates, there's a big catch. When a balloon mortgage ends, borrowers must payoff the remaining balance, usually by refinancing or selling the home.

Of course, it's not all about work time. We all need play time too. Protective follows a generous Paid Time Off model in which vacation time, sick time, and floating holidays are pooled into a single bank of available paid time off. This approach gives employees substantial flexibility in determining how and when to use their compensated hours away from work—the choice is theirs. The ability to borrow time before it is accrued and the opportunity to carry over up to 40 hours of PTO from one year to the next provides even more flexibility. In addition to PTO, Protective observes nine designated holidays per year and provides up to six months of short-term disability leave at no charge for eligible employees.
Protective's LifeWorks Program provides a broad range of products and services designed to help employees balance the demands of work and home. Flex-time, adoption assistance, and scholarships for employees' dependents are just a few of the LifeWorks solutions.

New Housing Then Film SeriesThe mid-twentieth century was an extremely fertile time for architects and developers to shape the course of the post-World War II building boom. They created a widespread acceptance of modern architecture that offered technology-based, affordable, new housing. The architectural pioneers of this era helped to change the perception of the traditional home and responded to new lifestyle parameters that included more leisure time, increased affluence and new transportation initiatives. Encompassing a cross section of work from across the United States, and including many iconic examples from the period, "New Housing Then" gives a post-war perspective on the housing boom—its triumphs as well as pitfalls. Each film in the series documents a particular architect or group and addresses the inspirations and challenges that have made contemporary American housing what it is today. Film screenings will be followed by Q&A architects and filmmakers. |

Lyndon Johnson on Principles & Values | |
If it seemed like voting against LBJ would be a vote against John F. Kennedy, Johnson apparently was fine with that. The Republicans, in effect, were battling two presidents at once: one martyred and one sitting. That meant the GOP needed to run a pitch-perfect campaign. What we got was quite the opposite.
At one point, Lady Bird caught him having sex on a sofa in the Oval Office with one of his secretaries. Johnson became furious at the Secret Service for not warning him. After the incident, which occurred just months after he took office, Johnson ordered the Secret Service to install a buzzer system so that agents stationed in the residence part of the White House could warn him when his wife was approaching. A former Secret Service agent says, "if we saw Lady Bird heading for the elevator or stairs, we were to ring the buzzer."
Asked in a 1987 TV interview about her husband's rumored infidelities, Lady Bird Johnson said, "You have to understand, my husband loved people. All people. And half the people in the world were women."
All of the great presidents used their leadership first to transform the public understanding of national challenges and then to break through impasses made up of congressional blockage, interest-group power, voter cynicism or passivity, and conventional wisdom. In different ways, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, & Johnson found allies, respectively, in the abolitionist movement, the labor movement, and the civil rights movement. Each president grew immensely if office. Each changed the national mood, then the direction of national policy.
About 4 PM each day, the president would go to his bedroom, put on his pajamas, and climb into bed where he stayed for an hour. I cannot certify that he slept or even dozed. All I can verify is that he was in his bedroom.
Usually by 5 PM, the second half of the president's day began. The president would be receiving in his office. There would be off-the-record appointments of congressional leaders or individual congressman and senators, cabinet officials, and sprinkled among these would be on-the-record meetings with whomever the president chose to put on display.
Therefore, the classic Johnson approach was to create a mood & feeling within the legislator that the best interests of the nation and his district (or state) would be served if a particular law was passed.
This was to be the augury of the Johnson style of Congress-treating and Congress-handling. His was the personal approach. Man to man. Phone to ear. Come let us reason together. This is Lyndon Johnson talking. Now, we don't have to be at each other's throat, do we? Your country needs your help and so do I. So it went.
He made the Senate peculiarly his own institution and became the youngest, and at the same time the most effective, floor leader any political party ever had in that body. At the peak of his influence in the Senate, he was struck down by a heart attack that for a time threatened to take him out of politics forever. But he fought back to complete recovery.
In 1960 he hopefully went after the Democratic nomination for President, but Kennedy won the nomination on the 1st ballot. Where that left Johnson no one could tell--for a few hours. Then it was announced that he had accepted the nominee's plea to join him on the ticket as candidate for Vice President.
As a Democrat in a position of leadership, he was convinced the greatest service he could render his party was to guide it into and along the path of moderation. He believed the party had made great strides in regaining much of the respect it had lost because of accusations that it was irresponsible. He wanted to hold these gains and add to them.
"Eventually," he said, "the people will reject any political organization that is ruled by the extremists, either the right or the left. If I can leave any imprint on the Democratic Party, I want it to have the effect of making ours a moderate party, not a party of extremes." He succeeded in making the issue of the 1954 campaign the "politics of responsibility" record of the Democrats in Congress.
"Johnson has distinguished himself as a conscientious composer of differences not only between a Democratic Congress and a Republican Executive but also among factions of Democrats. His leadership has been notable for the smoothness of its functioning, the absence of caviling and obstructionist tactics and the harmony which has been induced within his own traditionally wide-split party."
One of the Washington newspaper writers headed a column, "Everybody Loves Lyndon." That seemed to sum up the situation fairly enough.
I am also a liberal, a conservative, a Texan, a taxpayer, a rancher, a businessman, a consumer, a parent, a voter--and I am all these things in no fixed order.
I bridle at the very casualness with which we have come to ask each other, "What is your political philosophy?" I resent the question most often not because I suspect it of guile and cunning, but for its innocence, the innocence that confuses dogma with philosophy and presumes that the answer can be given in a word or two. Our political philosophies, I have found, are the sum of our life's experience. God made no man so simple or his life so sterile that such experience can be summarized in an adjective.
It is part of my philosophy to regard individuality of political philosophy as a cornerstone of American freedom and, more specifically, as a right expressly implied in our nation's basic law and indispensable to the proper functioning of our system.

Bishop Company was no longer able to find technical support to improve and enhance its outdated e-commerce platform. Confronted with low online sales and a lagging economy, the company knew it was time to take action to revamp its e-commerce platform.
"We weren't able to bring products to market fast enough," says Keith McCormick, President of Bishop Company. "We've long held a position as a market leader in our retail sector, and in order for that to continue, we realized that we had to bring our e-commerce platform up to date."
Bishop Company also wanted to end its reliance on paper processes, in particular expensive catalog production. "We stock over 2,500 different products, so our catalogs were extremely expensive to produce, both in terms of time and money," continues Keith McCormick. "We had to employ a number of staff to take telephone orders. Compared with online sales techniques, it was quite inefficient, but our e-commerce platform wasn't up to the task."
Bishop Company wanted an e-commerce site that could meet the expectations of the younger generation of tech-savvy online shoppers, convince long-time print catalog customers to place their orders online, and reinforce the company's status as an industry leader. In order to achieve this, the company needed to refresh its legacy e-commerce platform to provide its online customers an intuitive, informative, and intelligent shopping experience.
A powerful e-commerce platform
Bishop engaged IBM Premier Business Partner Zobrist to implement eZcommerce, a complete e-commerce solution based on IBM WebSphere Commerce software. "We liked the way that the WebSphere solution empowers business users," says Keith McCormick. "One of our key requirements for the new platform was long-term support and scalability, and Zobrist's offering ticked all those boxes."
Earlier this year, Bishop Company launched the new www.bishco.com website, which has swiftly become a go-to destination for an extensive line of professional arborist and landscaper products. The quick-to-market development capabilities of eZcommerce, combined with its sophisticated marketing and merchandising capabilities, enable Bishop Company to efficiently promote key products and react with greater agility to market trends.
"The new e-commerce site has many new features that we're really excited about," comments Keith McCormick. "There's now an easy-to-access 'compare' box that allows customers to drag and drop the products they're interested in buying. We've also streamlined the checkout process to minimize card abandonment and drive up customer conversion rates."
eZcommerce is highly flexible, allowing Bishop to customize the site according to the needs of different types of customers. Authorized retailers can see the wholesale price for all products once they are logged in. The platform also provides the ability to intelligently showcase the products and special promotions that are most relevant to each customer segment.
"We are very pleased with the work that Zobrist has done. While many contractors wanted to simply build us a website, Zobrist took a whole package approach that provided us with the e-commerce store, access to technical expertise, a marketing plan to boost our online presence, and ongoing 24/7 support," says Keith McCormick. "Their ability to deliver on all of these areas was a major factor in our initial decision to work with them, and is the main reason why we continue our relationship with 24/7 support and maintenance."
Driving business growth
After the implementation of the solution from IBM and Zobrist, Bishop Company has seen how a professional e-commerce website can be a key enabler of business growth.
"Within two months of the new WebSphere platform going live, we saw a 200 percent increase in online sales," says Keith McCormick. "The majority of this custom was from customers who'd only placed telephone orders in the past; they'd simply been waiting for an e-commerce site that was easy to use. The remaining 25 percent of that sales increase was from completely new customers, which definitely demonstrates the potential of a marketing strategy that integrates all aspects of the business."
Today, Bishop Company's 2,500 products are all catalogued online, and the company has full visibility of orders and customer interest. "When I factor in the cost of the staff required to process catalog telephone orders, I anticipate that the e-commerce channel substantial long-term cost savings," says Keith McCormick. "The response to the site redesign has been tremendous, from long-time catalog customers and brand new customers alike. We definitely think we're moving in the right direction."
Planning for the future
Based on the immediate positive impact of the new e-commerce platform, Bishop Company is investigating the possibility of enabling authorized dealers to promote their own branded versions of www.bishco.com as an alternative to turning customers away when an item is not carried in their brick-and-mortar store.
"The site would be branded for each dealer, with sales processed through the bishco.com ecommerce system and commissions issued to the dealer who referred the sale," says Keith McCormick. "With eZcommerce, we're well-positioned to realize this vision, making our extensive product assortment even more widely available and easy to shop for."
Bishop Company remains fully satisfied with its IBM solution. "Now we have the professional e-commerce platform we need to take our business to a new level," concludes Keith McCormick. "Thanks to Zobrist and IBM's investment in Smarter Commerce, we've gained a commerce roadmap that's helping us to increase our profits and ensure that we're well-placed to realize our future goals."

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
But -- more companies bleeding jobs.
Former Republican Minnesota governor -- is says you know what the Obama administration's look at its own record and he's here with us tonight.
So yes -- what do you make of these statements coming out of the white house of that being capital.
Well I think it shows and it's another example of a president any vice president -- don't understand don't respect don't appreciate.
Free enterprise and really don't understand the -- -- the main pathway for people's -- -- is whether they have a job and they're doing things to make it more difficult.
For jobs to be provided in this country they don't get -- they -- don't have a clue they've been government.
You know involved in government their whole life first political activists.
If you go talk to the people who provide jobs in this country they say get the government's burdens lighter not have your -- Obama doesn't understand that never has had a chance it's failing to know governor he'd tried if.
Court we've got Democrats such as Ed Rendell Harold Ford.
And we also have Cory Booker the mayor of Newark basically dialing back on what the White House has been saying about private equity this comes also at a time when the president visited New York City to to accept private equity money from Blackstone in the form of donations.
But that question for our viewers out there tonight is this we've got gross domestic product the growth of the economy flat lining at 2%.
We basically have two things and do voters' minds is it because it DC policies or is it because of a record historic housing credit crack up.
What do you say.
Well the Congressional Budget Office the CBO which is nonpartisan came out with a new report essentially predicting recession.
In 2013 again if we don't change course.
And of course that -- on under President Obama is a collision course with a very bad outcome.
We have 23 million people unemployed or underemployed he's failed in this regard again we've got to get somebody in who understands economy how to get a move and that's Mitt Romney.
You know we've got up polls coming -- where it's a pretty tight horse race there.
You know pretty much neck and neck and you know that disapproval ratings for the president's handling of the economy.
You know what is going up and you know I see the president -- himself into a corner he could say that look I inherited this recession.
Every president votes since FDR can say the same thing and by the way we have at -- basically elected officials have been in public office since the Nixon administration.
It certainly look at Joseph Biden has been around since the Nixon administration Seles Charlie Rangel and it's been that since the -- administration and you know Nancy Pelosi Harry Reid so I don't see how the president gets around.
Running away from his track record won't running away from his own economic record and instead we have this whisper campaign impugning the character -- You know we saw that in 2008 when you know basically the Obama campaign went after Hillary Clinton right -- went negative on her record -- her for disclosures about Bill Clinton's.
Wealth and wealth creation what do you make of the what you see coming forward.
Well as you put your finger on two important things one is the hypocrisy many examples of it but when you criticized private equity and and you go take money from -- on the very night you want your attack.
That's hypocrisy.
And secondly of a lack of leadership real change requires real courageous leadership this is a president who basically tries to -- hands of his failures.
Point back nearly four years to the Bush Administration.
And I would say quit being a hypocrite and quit whining and -- Become a courageous -- where is President Obama on one of the pressing issues of our time how to reform and save our entitlement programs for example you can't find it.
He ducks bobs and weaves and all the tough issues kicks the can down the road we need a president who's got the fortitude in the courage in the experience and executive function.
To -- that's Mitt Romney one last quick -- If you go talk to people who provide jobs in this country from the small entrepreneur -- to the mid size larger.
Companies in this country.
They also -- a little differently but they all basically say.
Either the taxes are too high health care costs are too high energy costs are too high permitting and regulatory costs are too -- -- -- and they say get the government off my back.
And President Obama -- loads on more and more burden more and more discouragement it's the exact wrong prescription for what.
Needs to happen and governor -- turn quickly to what's going on in Wisconsin because we have -- the historic moves happening just today in fact in the recall election with what's going on.
The governor Scott Walker turns out that it looks like the Democrats are not possibly going to win here.
What are the implications here with what's going on Wisconsin.
Well I was with Governor Walker in campaign with -- -- Wisconsin now most of the day yesterday -- with them again tomorrow.
First of -- he did what he said he's gonna do people respect that -- number one number two the reforms work.
People are now seen the sky didn't fall in facts -- money has been same and is being ploughed back into things like reduced property tax bill and he's.
Getting criticized for he's getting criticized for not creating the -- -- 50000 jobs you promised.
Big city so he's not gonna -- -- jobs overnight right.
Right and he's been promised set over his first Germany's net you know not even two years into its first Germany does now have positive job growth.
In Wisconsin so that's headed in the right direction.
You know governor -- should -- by the way just -- policy implication here for a recall.
Should any governor be recalled over policy differences or should elected officials be recalled because of misconduct -- -- -- come down that.
What was the author of the recall law and Minnesota are co author of -- and -- we took the position that you shouldn't be recalled the clean elections like she did something wrong in other -- malfeasance in office.
But that's the beauty of these laboratories of democracy in each state can have their own approach Wisconsin's got their approach but for my personal opinion.
I think recall should be available in -- usual circumstances where somebody's done.
Something particularly wrong misbehavior malfeasance not just because you disagree on a policy save that for the next election alright governor collective thank you semester attacks and -- are really appreciate it.

Welcome home to the grandest of estates, the Fisher-Price Loving Family Dream Dollhouse! With furniture, elegant styling, nine spacious rooms, and four lovely floors, Mom, Dad, Toddler, and Baby will feel right at home. Lift the center tower to reveal a special secret room for teatime, playtime, or whatever your child can dream up! Other special touches include sparkling lights in the chandelier and bathroom sconce, a winding staircase, fun songs, and realistic sounds.
Loving Family Dream Dollhouse, four family figures, sofa, bouncer/high chair, tea table, two chairs, hat, and toy bunny.
The four-floor Loving Family Dream Dollhouse offers plenty of space to play. With nine rooms to choose from, kids can play in the solarium, the winding staircase, or in the hidden playroom. The center tower lifts to reveal additional space to play, and built-in storage space teaches children to clean up after play and to take care of their toys.
Imaginations will come alive as kids create stories with the four included figures. Mom, Dad, Toddler, and Baby are joined by their pet bunny, and kids can make them walk and move and talk in the Loving Family Dream Dollhouse. Baby can play in the high chair/bouncer, while Mom and Dad can relax on the sofa. The house also includes two chairs and a hat. Additional furniture is sold separately.
The doorbell rings, the teapot whistles, and Baby coos in the Loving Family Dream Dollhouse. Sounds like a chiming clock and running water make play even more realistic. Four songs, including a lullaby and the "Tea Party Song," inspire children to sing along. The songs and sounds are loud enough to delight children, but quiet enough that they won't interrupt adults nearby.
When children make up family stories with Mom, Dad, and their kids, they think creatively. Folding and unfolding the house and placing the figures and furniture increases finger dexterity and coordination. And role-playing with the characters helps kids work through real-life situations--especially when paired with playing with a friend and exercising cooperative skills.
The new Loving Family Dream Dollhouse takes dollhouse play to a new level! The dollhouse has an updated design, elegant styling, lights, sounds and music, plus a special surprise that makes this house truly unique. Simply lift the middle roof to reveal a hidden room just for our little girl. Adding to the magic, the dollhouse has lights and sounds! Sparkling lights can be found in the chandelier and bathroom sconce. The house comes with realistic sounds like a doorbell, flushing toilet, and phone ringing. It will also play fun songs like 'Happy Birthday' or a lullaby. The new layout features 9 rooms, a solarium, a winding staircase, and has space for storage. Mom, dad, toddler and baby, a sofa, bouncer and tea set are all included.

This is a beautiful toy. It is well made and just darling. My only issue with this dollhouse is that the rooms are TOO SMALL FOR THE FURNITURE! We bought this for my daughter along with several rooms of furniture. The rooms are so small that one set of furniture doesn't fit in any of the rooms!So she ends up playing with it all over the floor and can barely fit any of the HUGE bulky furniture in the tiny rooms. I think the regular Grand Dollhouse may have a more open floor plan allowing for more furniture to fit. But the Dream house is chopped up into too small of rooms. Really disappointed.I would still recommend it, but buy very few furniture pieces!

Comments about Fisher-Price 1001124 Fisher-Price Loving Family Dream Dollhouse:
We already had a loving family dollhouse that is a couple years old and decided that we would get a second one so each one of our daughters could have their own. It was a great surprise to buy the new one and find that it has new features like working lights and a slighting different set up. Both our girls love Loving Family anything, perfect gift!

My husband and I purchased this house as a 3rd Birthday Gift for our daughter. The price was right and we really like that we can add onto this with furniture in her stocking for Christmas. I do have a few bones to pick about this house however. When we opened the box inside we found a one year old receipt for someones dinner and the body piece for the secret room looked like it had been bent in places to the point the plastic was white but not broken. I would have returned it but my girl was so excited I know that if the house left even for a few minutes she would freak. Disspite this, every piece was in the box and it was very easy to assemble. It went together well and looks great aside from the secret room. All of the lights bells and whistles work and make my girl literally giggle with delight. My girl has played with this house almost every waking moment since her party 4 days ago. HER only complaint is that the Mommy doesn't look like me. She asked me to find her a brown haired mommy. (her words, fix it mommy dolls hair's wrong) The one that comes with the house is blonde like her Aunt. I feel like she thinks I'm missing. I have looked everywhere and I can't find a brunette mom except for with the holiday house. She has brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin just like me. Her hair is even the same to boot but I can't buy her. Can you please help me Fisher Price? I was hoping to add it to her stocking. :(

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent, Working Parent
My daughter received this as a birthday gift and LOVES it, she calls it her castle.It is a great size for a wider age span. My daughter just turned two and it is the perfect size now and will last us a long time. I love the different noises the house makes but I love even more that it doesn't have a million buttons that make noise lol. The accessories that you can get for the dollhouse are adorable. We also got the mini can and a couple of furnishings for rooms. This is a great purchase. Easy to assemble and easy to store.

History - 1986 - Present
Bungy, the word that quickens the pulse and stirs the imagination refers to the challenge and excitement of trusting one's life to a single rubber cord and then throwing one's self off a bridge or platform suspended high above the ground. For jumpers the challenge is to overcome their fears and in triumph be able to say, "I did it!".
AJ Hackett recognised this challenge back in 1986 after seeing a video of jumps performed by "The Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club". That group had performed several jumps in the late seventies as a modern version of a manhood initiation ritual ceremony performed by natives in Vanuatu.
AJ's imagination took over, he teamed up with Chris Sigglekow and started experimenting with latex rubber, climbing equipment and parachute harnesses until satisfied that Bungy could be done predictably whilst still being fun. After much testing they then started jumping from many different bridges through the North Island of new Zealand.
In early 1987 AJ travelled to Europe with friend and fellow speed skier Henry van Ash in pursuit of snow and to find new ways and places to Bungy Jump. The pair jumped higher structures up to 150m and carried out further research on equipment and systems that would enable AJ to make what was to be the first of many "extreme" jumps. In Tignes, a ski station in the Savoie region of France, at an altitude of nearly 3700m, AJ jumped from a gondola and at the bottom of the 1st stretch touched down perfectly in deep snow 91 meters below. The jump went exactly as planned in difficult conditions of extreme cold and wind and proved that the Bungy Cord would still be predictable at -20 degrees.
AJ then moved his sights to a jump, which was to have a strong effect on the lives of many people. AJ made the leap from the Eiffel Tower, Paris in June 1987, gaining worldwide media attention. Very soon after the Eiffel Tower Jump other radical jumps were then orchestrated such as the Statue of Liberty, Auckland Stock Exchange Building, and Helicopter Bungy. People throughout the world now recognise AJ as a person synonymous with challenge, safety, and achievement.
In 1988 AJ began offering for the first time public Bungy Jumping in Ohakune, New Zealand before deciding on Queenstown, New Zealand as the ideal place to establish a base for full time operations, which still continues today.
The company and brand AJ Hackett has since spread throughout the world and diversified into other gravity related experiences, thrilling more than 3.5 million ecstatic customers.
Over a quarter of a century later and AJ is is still very hands on within the operation and sets direction on new sites, products and innovation.

Just because a field was filled in, or nor filled in, it doesn't tell you how much effort went into validating the information that's in those fields.
this is the same thing as mistaking precision (lots of numbers after the decimal) for precision (how accurate those numbers are)
The fact that you can't tell this information from a cert, is one of the major problems with the current CA concept.
Fraudulent certificates in the wild — again
Posted Jan 21, 2013 1:48 UTC (Mon) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
you are mixing up fields filled in, and information validated
No, I'm not. I suspect you read something into what I wrote that I didn't intend, for you to think that. (A weird brain slip may have contributed - I wrote "I couldn't tell from Startssl's certificate" where I meant to say, "from Startssl's web site").
I meant to explore what is the difference between Startssl's free and $60 product. The customer isn't going pay more to have himself scrutinized harder and get the same certificate in the end. The difference therefore must consist, ultimately, in what fields are filled in.
Whether the information in those fields is true, or the certificate authority expended effort to be sure it's true, is a whole different conversation.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 2:13 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
All that matters in there is one other bit set (in what field I don't know), in the BofA cert that says "this is an extended validation cert", which means that the cabal of CA vendors promise that they actually validate who the cert belongs to, and they set the rules that prohibit anyone other than that handful of (I think 5) vendors from issuing any certs that set that "extended validation" bit
The people who buy the extended validation certs do pay a LOT more to have themselves scrutinized more, in exchange the browser puts the green bar when browsing to the site. This gives everyone involved the warm and fuzzies and makes them think that they are more secure.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 9:08 UTC (Mon) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
what fields are filled in do not really matter.
Nonetheless, all the evidence is that having fields filled is in fact what people are buying with Startssl's $60 product. That product is not an EV certificate.
The people who buy the extended validation certs do pay a LOT more to have themselves scrutinized more, in exchange the browser puts the green bar when browsing to the site.
I would say they're paying to have the browser put the green bar up (more specifically, they're paying for an EV certificate). If they failed to be scrutinized more in the process, they wouldn't exactly demand a refund.
I think there probably is value, by the way, in having the Organization field filled in in a non-EV certificate. To the extent that a browser user pays any attention to the certified identity at all, many probably realize that even a non-EV certificate has some verification of the information and give the web site correspondingly higher respect if the name of the organization is vouched for than if only the domain name is.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 9:19 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
umm, the CA organizations don't fill out any of these fields, they are filled out by the org that submits the signing request.
The fact that LWN.net's cert doesn't list an organization doesn't tell you anything other than the fact that the LWN cert request didn't have that information in it when it was submitted to the CA
Posted Jan 21, 2013 16:10 UTC (Mon) by Jonno (subscriber, #49613) [Link]
For example, StartSSL will ignore the metadata in the certificate request, (only using its public key) and instead use the CN (common name) and subjectAlternateName from the web form used to make the request, and O, L, ST, C, emailAddress (organization, location, state, country, email) from the validation they did of you.
For EV certificates, all certificate vendors promise (to the browser vendor) to do this, and additionally to do a slightly more thorough validation than what StartSSL does for normal certificates, but the principle is the same.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 9:51 UTC (Mon) by anselm (subscriber, #2796) [Link]
Actually, there is no »extended validation cert« bit. The way a browser recognises an EV certificate is that it has a list of all the vendors (there's about 25 of them now, not 5) that issue EV certificates, together with a special OID – different for each vendor – that that particular vendor will reference in an EV certificate's Certificate Policies extension field. When a certificate from one of the EV certificate vendors comes in, the browser checks that certificate's CP extension field against the list entry for that vendor, and if there is a match, then the certificate is considered an EV certificate.
This tricky method makes it nearly impossible for vendors outside the cabal – or indeed entities who operate their own internal CAs – to offer certificates that look like EV certificates and are treated by browsers as such. If you want to join the cabal, you essentially need to convince the browser makers (by filing large amounts of expensive paperwork) that you're crossing every t and dotting every i, and they will include your magic OID in their list of EV certificate issuers.

It's a great entertainment piece. It keeps my daughter busy and thinking she's in ponyville! She used it at her birthday party and it was a WOW toy to her friends! She loves the fact that she can wear it and walk around the house while singing. The negative is that there's only four songs from the show. More songs would increase the value and my rating for tus product. Overall, a great great toy for any My Little Pony Friend!!!!!!

they played with it the day we bought it. then it was forgotton... they don't play with it much now. the strap comes off a lot frustrating the girls. the wired mic got tugged on a lot since it is short so not sure how long it would last before breaking. i was disappointed with how quickly the girls got bored with it. for the price, should have prolly bought more pony figures instead so they have more open-ended creative ways to play. on the plus side the music is nice and not annoying to hear repeatedly.

My almost 6 yr old LOVES this! The sound quality is good-surprisingly. The volume control is a great addition compared to others I have seen. My daughter likes the carry strap so it's portable. She has had it a few weeks & I've not had to replace the batteries yet, she uses it every day.

The buttons were very easy for my 3 year old daughter to use. She was using the product by herself within two mins. of receiving it. I love that it can be hooked up to my ipod and it will play. Very cool. The product could be improved by making it smaller. It is a bit bulky for my daughter.

This is an adorable little toy. It's easily carried around and plays songs from My Little Pony at a good volume. The microphone works well and attaches to the side of the karaoke machine so it cannot be misplaced. Very cute gift for any child that likes My Little Pony.
