Rev. Sylvanus wrote:I have never done anything with mounted archers. Conceptually it sounds cool and might work well. The reason I've never done it is because I play with CP limits (I know not everyone does). A standard archer costs 9 CP. A horse costs 9 CP. So for 18 CP I can have one really mobile ranged unit (though it blows if he dies because the horse is submissive), or I can take two archers with less mobility but double the damage potential per turn. But without CP limits, it might be a fun little force.
The other question I ask myself is what role they would play in the battle? Their mobility would trounce melee infantry, but a screen of archers is already decent at that. Against mounted knights it's risky to move into range because--if you don't kill the horse--the knight will just charge you in response. Against other ranged units, it is on equal footing with a fancy-expensive seat. I think the only way I'd think about taking mounted archers would be if they carried a spear or lance as well so the unit could be a versatility king.
Scratch wrote:The thing that worked in real life with mounted archers was that they were always on the move, and thus hard to hit, I think there's a penalty to-hit if the fig is going faster than 5 inches per turn. So being on a galloping horse is comparable to being 2/3rds in cover. Weather that's worth the extra CP is up to you though.

Gloria and Emilio Estefan's Life Story May Head to Broadway
Gloria and Emilio Estefan are taking their life story to the Great White Way.
The husband and wife team on Tuesday announced that they've teamed up with the Nederlander Organization to try to create a musical based on their lives. Their hope is that it would end up in Broadway.
"We are very excited to share this story, which is based on hope, determination and the belief that with hard work and passion, our dreams can become our reality. Our music has been a true reflection of who we are, where we came from and the journey that has brought us to where we are today," Gloria and Emilio Estefan said in a statement.
The Nederlander Organization will be producing the new show in partnership with Bernie Yuman, who produced and managed Siegfried & Roy's show in Las Vegas. The show is still in its embryonic form and has no writer, director or creative team yet.
The Estefans were both born in Cuba and together became musical luminaries in Spanish and English, winning Grammy Awards and fans across the U.S. with crossover hits like "The Rhythm is Going To Get You," ''Conga" and "Words Get in the Way," in addition to helping the careers of other artists including Shakira, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Jon Secada.
Their lives certainly are the stuff of drama. At age 14, Emilio Estefan fled Fidel Castro's Cuba to Spain and later Miami. He enrolled in night school, working by day in a mailroom, determined to bring his mother and brother here, and he eventually succeeded. He persuaded an uncle to lend him money for an accordion and formed a band, playing traditional Cuban tunes at local fiestas.
Soon, the group added a shy but charismatic singer named Gloria who would steal the heart of Estefan and audiences worldwide as part of the Miami Sound Machine. The couple would go on to have two children and a more than 30-year professional and personal partnership.
The couple launched the Bongos Cuban Cafe chain and are part owners of the Miami Dolphins. Frustrated with the limited attention given to Latin music at the Grammys, they pushed for a separate show dedicated to the broad breadth of Spanish and Portuguese music with the Latin Grammys.
"I am thrilled to collaborate with Gloria and Emilio to see their amazing story come to fruition on the Broadway stage," Jimmy Nederlander, president of the Nederlander Organization, said in a statement. "The Estefans' journey of success, led by raw talent and passion, is captivating as it drove them from relative obscurity to global sensations."

The Town of Niagara Town Board met for nearly three hours Tuesday, with much of the noisiest discussion focused on how subpoenas served on town employees should be handled.
The board also set up a special meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 1. At 6:30 p.m. Supervisor Steve Richards will present the 2014 tentative town budget to the board. At 7 p.m., the board will address two items tabled at this week's meeting - making a SEQR (State Environmental Quality Review) negative declaration for the Fashion Outlets of Niagara expansion and designating the Illusions Cheerleaders as from the town.
The subpoena issue arose over a motion by Councilman Charles Teixeira asking that a policy be established that if any town employee or elected official receives a subpoena and the town itself is not being sued, that person should not consult the town attorney, but seek his own legal representation.
There followed a discussion hedged in by "allegedly" and "hypothetically" with no one admitting on the record that he had received a subpoena.
The state attorney general's office in Buffalo was not able to provide comment before the Tribune went to press. However, various people on the Town Board mentioned a "John Doe" case in the town being handled by that office and an unspecified number of employees receiving subpoenas to testify before a grand jury in Lockport. A grand jury investigates potential criminal conduct and determines whether criminal charges should be brought. Information on a grand jury investigation is not normally made public.
The board finally approved a resolution that allowed the town attorney to give employees advice on the proper proceedings of a subpoena, but if that employee needs personal legal representation, he must hire his own attorney.
Town Attorney Michael Risman said it would not be out of order for him to explain the grand jury process to an employee.
"My advice would be to fully comply with the subpoena and tell the truth. Period," he said.
Councilman Danny Sklarski had argued against Teixiera's original motion saying that the town needed to protect those people receiving subpoenas who are acting in their capacity as a town employee.
He noted that if he was a union member and knew his company wasn't protecting him on company time, he'd be upset. "That's a travesty I will not be part of."
Councilman Rob Clark said he has been called to appear before a grand jury twice and both times legal advice wasn't available. "We don't know exactly what this is about because it says 'John Doe','' he said.
In other matters
•The board approved a request of Allied Waste Services to modify its waste collection days, a move from Tuesdays to Mondays that would affect 10 streets starting Oct. 1. Dave Grenier, Allied general manager, said there will be no reduction in service and that affected customers will be notified. The town also will post the changes on its website.
Grenier said the company has invested in new, covered containers and a front loading operation that will not only improve service, but get the trucks off the streets earlier.
•In regard to the delay of approval of SEQR for Fashion Outlets, Richards said Macerich Niagara, owner of Fashion Outlets, and Benderson Development, owner of the Walmart plaza, had asked for a little more time to negotiate a crossover between the two facilities that would allow customers to travel between the two without going out on Military Road.
Resident Richard Sirianni urged the board to support the mall expansion. "That project is about jobs," he said, adding that the tax revenues generated by the mall would not only be beneficial to town residents, but county residents as well.
Commenting on Teixeira's reservations about safety for the retention pond that is part of the expansion plans, he said, it was needed because of water problems in that area and that there are many such ponds in the county.
•The board decided to become a full member of the Niagara County Sewer District and request that all sewer flow, currently going to Niagara Falls be directed to the county.
Richards said he has been negotiating with the county for two years on the matter because the city cannot handle the sewer flow from the town, which results in flooding of the Belden Center, Richmond Avenue and Veterans Heights areas.
When the town was first sewered, it was under federal funding and before the Niagara County Sewer District was created.
•Richards reported that he was able to assist two different elderly residents of the Belden Center area who had lost water heaters and furnaces during the spring flooding and have been doing without since then. The money came from the town charity fund.
"We all got flooded pretty bad," reported resident Francis Skrypek, noting that he and neighbors had been advised to go to the Niagara Falls meeting regarding state funding relief. He also called the state hotline on the funding and was told nothing could be done. "It's been two months and we haven't heard nothing from anybody," he said.
•A resolution to sell three used town police cars to the National Police Force of Mongolia for $10,000, which is $3,000 more than would have been received on trade in, was tabled until the board's next regular meeting.
Teixiera objected that the vehicles weren't put up for bid and that someone in the U.S. or Town of Niagara might be interested in purchasing them.

As a member of several Cowboys Blogs and subscriber to every online news that has anything to do with The Cowboys, I have seen lots of Chatter this week.
I thought we should open up a dialogue on all these things going on this week with you Starstruckers. It has been too quiet around here the last few days and I love stirring the pot anyway. (I am reserving my opinion on all of this because I think it would be more fun to hear from all of you.)
ROY WILLIAMS DOESN'T THINK HE FITS WITH THIS DEFENSE. According to what he has said to Greg Ellis, Roy isn't sure he belongs in Wade's defense. Roy's keeping to himself, working out early and leaving at 7:30 am, before his teammates arrive at Valley Ranch. Greg appeared on The Michael Irvin Show after this came out. Greg wanted to express he was Roy's friend and didn't mean to cause him harm by publicly speaking about Roy's dilemma. He says he is concerned about Roy and wants everyone to rally around him and support him. I have seen some really nasty things said by fans about Roy this past week. Really nasty.
T.O. IS ON A SITCOM AND ROMO IS SINGING AT A CUBS GAME. Many, many bloggers are griping that these two aren't focused on their football, especially Romo, because they are appearing everywhere, other than at Valley Ranch.
MOOSE SPEAKS OUT ON TANK JOHNSON but GIVES HIS OK ON PACMAN. Daryl Johnston thought the character of Tank Johnson was questionable and spoke out against the hiring of Tank last season. He says Tank wasn't going to lead the Cowboys to a Superbowl, so he wasn't worth the risk. PacMan however is worth the risk, according to Moose who was quoted as saying "In this era of salary cap management, I like the way that they structured his contract," Moose said yesterday at the Cowboys Golf Club. "Now you've just got to keep your fingers crossed that he's learned from what he's done in the past and the support group within the Dallas Cowboys does its job. But it's a tough decision. It's a roll of the dice. You get tempted by talent".
MARION BARBER and KEN HAMLIN STILL NOT SIGNED. Barber isn't working out with the team and I guess he won't until he's signed. Jerry Jones says "Not to worry". Ok Papa John….I mean Jerry, I won't worry if you say so.
The Cowboys gave Barber a one-year tender of $2.56 million, the highest designation for restricted free agents. Hamlin, who was set to be an unrestricted free agent, received a franchise tag of one-year, $4.33 million.
TONY AND JESSICA……ON OR OFF? Can't resist. Gotta get the tabloid blurb in here. Last week there were reports there were wedding bells. This week there have been numerous reports that it's over. They haven't been spotted together this week but they sure have both been spotted apart……hmmmmm.
Ok Starstruckers…………Talk to me!!!

With kisses on the cheek in a gleaming hall of Egypt's intelligence services, leaders of rival Palestinian groups Hamas and Fatah reached an agreement for Hamas to hand over control of the Gaza Strip to the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority.
The deal is just an early step in a longer process that could end a decade-long split that has nearly paralyzed Palestinian political leadership and increased the misery for Gazans in need of jobs and aid.
According to the agreement, the Western-backed Palestinian Authority will resume all governing responsibilities in Gaza no later than Dec. 1.
Attempts at reconciliation in recent years fell apart. If this deal succeeds, the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza will be reunited under one leadership for the first time since the Islamist militant group Hamas wrested control of the territory 10 years ago.
"Our house is one. Our suffering is one. Our fate is one. Our future is one," senior Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri said in televised remarks Thursday after two days of marathon talks mediated by Egypt.
Fatah officials said the two sides agreed that the Palestinian Authority would take over responsibility for Gaza's border crossings no later than Nov. 1 and that full governing responsibilities would be handed over to the Palestinian Authority by the beginning of December.
In 2007, when the two groups could not agree on sharing power, Hamas drove Fatah leaders out of Gaza and wrested control of the seaside territory, leaving Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in control only of parts of the West Bank.
With Hamas in control, conditions in Gaza deteriorated. Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade on the territory, severely restricting Palestinians from leaving the territory and goods from entering. Hamas and Israel fought three wars over the past decade. Unemployment is high, and electricity and clean water are scarce. Hamas has said it hopes that by giving back power to the Palestinian Authority, life in Gaza can improve.
According to the text of the agreement signed by both parties, Egypt mediated the deal in order to "achieve Palestinian unity in order to ... establish an independent Palestinian state" in Gaza and the Israel-occupied West Bank.
Palestinian media reported that the two sides agreed to form a committee to solve, within four months, one very local problem that has dogged previous attempts at reconciliation: what to do about Hamas bureaucrats who will be out of a job when the Palestinian Authority resumes its rule in Gaza. The reports also said the Palestinian Authority would seek to merge Hamas' police officers in Gaza with the Palestinian security services.
But one central issue has yet to be discussed: the fate of Hamas' militant wing and cache of rockets and weapons. Abbas has said he would not take over Gaza until Hamas gave up its weapons. It is unclear whether that unresolved issue will delay Abbas' government's return to Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Facebook that any reconciliation deal must make Hamas disarm and "end its war to destroy Israel." And he said a reconciliation deal makes peace harder to achieve.
The U.S. says it wants the Palestinian Authority to take control of Gaza again. And the Palestinian Authority is hoping that reconciliation will allow the Palestinian territories to have a unified voice to press Israel for an independent state.
And I'm Robert Siegel with a look at a deal that could end a decade of division and political stalemate within the Palestinian leadership. The Islamist militant group Hamas took over the Gaza Strip 10 years ago, but the Palestinian Authority kept control of parts of the West Bank. And that split has contributed to the miserable conditions in Gaza. Today, the two rivals reached a preliminary deal for Hamas to hand Gaza back to the Palestinian Authority.
And NPR's Daniel Estrin has been following this from Jerusalem. Daniel, first, tell us what happened today.
DANIEL ESTRIN, BYLINE: There were marathon talks for two days in Cairo, and then very early this morning the leaders of the two Palestinian groups signed an agreement. And according to that agreement, the Palestinian Authority will take control of Gaza's border crossings no later than November 1, and it will assume full governing responsibilities in Gaza no later than December 1. And leaders from both sides say this is about Palestinian unity. And here's what Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri said in Arabic.
SALEH AL-AROURI: (Speaking Arabic).
ESTRIN: "Our house is one. Our suffering is one. Our fate is one. Our future is one."
SIEGEL: And what exactly is this agreement supposed to achieve?
ESTRIN: Well, the Palestinian hope is that it will end a decade of misery in Gaza, and that it will open Gaza up to the outside world because when Hamas took over 10 years ago, Israel and Egypt imposed a blockade on Gaza. And very few people can leave Gaza. Unemployment is very high. Hamas fought three wars with Israel. And humanitarian conditions in Gaza have become really dire.
So, you know, because the Palestinian Authority is recognized as a legitimate government by the world, Palestinians hope that if the Palestinian Authority is back in control in Gaza, Egypt would open its border crossing with Gaza and Gaza's isolation would end. But there are still a lot of very key issues that the two sides have not yet agreed on. So today's agreement is just one step in what's going to be a very long process.
SIEGEL: But talk about those major issues that divide Hamas and Fatah.
ESTRIN: Well, one issue is a very local one, and that's jobs. Hamas wants its tens of thousands of bureaucrats that run Gaza and that have run Gaza for 10 years to have a source of income when the Palestinian Authority takes over. So that's been one sticking point that has actually made past attempts at reconciliation fail. A major issue is Hamas' weapons and its rockets. The Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, wants Hamas to disarm, and they haven't yet negotiated that point.
SIEGEL: You're in Jerusalem. What's Israel saying about all this?
ESTRIN: Well, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted about this on Facebook. He said, any reconciliation deal must make Hamas disarm and, quote, "end its war to destroy Israel." He said a reconciliation deal makes peace harder to achieve. Now, the U.S. has said it wants the Palestinian Authority to take control of Gaza again. And the Palestinian Authority is hoping that if it unites the Palestinian territories, if it's in control of the West Bank and Gaza, then it will have a unified voice to press Israel for an independent state.
SIEGEL: That's NPR's Daniel Estrin in Jerusalem. Daniel, thank you.
ESTRIN: Thanks, Robert. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

April 30, 2009
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – UMass Boston used six different pitchers to keep the MIT bats at bay while Ryan Walsh paced UMB's attack with four hits, as the Beacons toppled the Engineers, 8-6, at Briggs Field.
MIT (23-12) managed just four hits, a season-low for a club that entered Thursday's action batting .340 as a team. UMass Boston Starter Dave Gambill surrendered one earned run in two innings of work while Alex Simas tossed the next two frames without allowing a run en route to the win. Anthony Lauretto covered the last 1.1 innings to pick up his third save of the season.
The Beacons (17-20) jumped on MIT with four unearned runs in the top of the second. Mark McCormick singled through the right side to drive home two runs, while Walsh plated another run with a double down the left-field line. MIT, which committed four errors during the tilt, surrendered all four runs following a miscue on a ground ball to third.
Kenneth Lin grabbed a run back for the Engineers in the bottom of the second with a single through the left side that scored Steven Nunez. The Cardinal and Gray inched closer in the third after scoring another run despite no hits. Dan Hyatt brought in Park, who had two steals on the day, on a ground out to second.
Ahead 4-2, UMass Boston posted a three-spot in the top of the fourth. Dan Noonan connected on a run-scoring single to center field while Eric Salvador added two runs with a double to right.
After the Beacons scratched together another run in the fifth, MIT responded with two scores of its own to cut into the lead. The Engineers took advanatage of three walks and a wild pitch to get on the board while David Nole singled to right to reduce the lead to 8-4.
MIT tested the Beacons' pitching depth and flirted with the lead after scraping together two more runs in the eighth. With two outs, Lin reached on an error, Brian Doyle walked, and Bryan Macomber singled through the right side. With the bases loaded, Park earned an RBI after getting hit by a pitch. After UMass Boston made a pitching change, a wild pitch enabled Doyle to cross the plate and put two runners in scoring position. Despite the rally, UMass Boston got out of the jam with a ground ball to second base.
The Engineers used five pitchers on Thursday with freshman Chris Hendrix (2-1) taking the loss. After a bumpy 4 ½ innings, Ryne Barry, Torre Swanson, and Creed Mangrum scattered three singles the rest of the way.

Apptivity Monkey
I'd always heard that looking a monkey in the eye is a bad idea, but poking at its belly is probably worse. Of this year's nominees, this one makes me feel the most sick to my stomach.
I want to vote against ALL of these, PLUS the breastfeeding baby doll. Ugh! What is the world coming to?
breastfeeding baby
while i find the breastfeeding baby doll a little, um, odd...at least it's a "realistic play" toy. like a little cooking or cleaning set - or even a baby doll that pees it's diaper after you give it a drink (i had one of those lol). it teaches kids that breastfeeding babies is normal. it's sad that they need a toy to teach them rather than from seeing their moms/aunts/etc breastfeeding, though.
learn to read
It clearly says that the breast feeding part is made up.....duh!
Breastfeeding doll
I don't understand why you are so against the breastfeeding doll. Breastfeeding is arguably more natural (and healthier) than bottle feeding, yet no one balks at baby dolls equipped with bottles. Kids will naturally mimic what they see their parents do, so if mom breastfeeds why not her little girl? She'll probably do it with her other dolls anyway. Unless your hangup is the price tag, in which case I'm with you.
Breastfeeding babydoll
i completely agree, there is nothing more natural than breastfeeding and the fact that some still see it as sexual in nature or wrong to do in public is incredibly sad. I breastfed my first child for almost two years, when she self weaned, and today I often see her playing with her dolls and at times she will be "nursing them.". Do I ask her to stop, no I allow her to play as she feels comfortably doing so. If she asked me for the doll I would be happy to purchase it for her for a special occasion. Sexualized leggos or a toy with an IPhone in it's belly, not so much! Think about it...
Breastfeeding baby doll
It saddens me that even mothers still see breastfeeding as sexual. The doll is very sweet. The halter is very whimsicle, with flowers, not big breasts or nipples even. I was so happy that my son's first exposure to breasts would be of me nursing his sister. After seeing numerous dolls with bottles, it is refreshing that there is a doll that reflects my children's experience.
The article clearly states that the milk from the doll is just a joke. Now the question is really "what is the world coming to" Learn to read before you jump to conclusions people! lol
Butterfly Beauty Shop
I've always appreciated what you do. When it comes to clothing and toys for children, you could say that I'm pretty staunch and picky. I've seen many "square" LEGO figures with eyelashes and red lips so you can tell the females from the males. I examined the LEGO item you have listed at the top. Most women I know these days go to spas and massage parlors on a regular basis (your typical "beauty shop") to get everything from facials and pedicures to entire body waxes done. That's what this little toy looks like. And they wear more clothes than those scary monster barbie dolls, and most Barbies in general that are dressed like prostitutes. I could think of so many other toys that are actually "disgusting" than this little set that has cosmetics and females that aren't wearing mid-driff, slutty shirts.
This is not legos
Passing off a beauty shop dollhouse as "legos" is a cynical exploitation of parents. There are very few blocks actually included, most of the set is prefab pieces such as lipstick stand. How can you take this set and creatively rearrange, rebuild, explore? What, you can join two rooms together? There is no ability or encouragement to build, hence none of the traditional "lego benefits" apply. Lego making claims of such is misleading and reprehensible marketing.
Of all of the adventurous, exciting, mind-expanding sets they could have built - jungle explorer, fairy tale castle, pirate queen - that would allow recombination and creative play, they make a Barbie knock off and stick in a few lego blocks. I think it's pretty disgusting.
Lynne, what are you talking about?
This is absolutely a LEGO set. It has the same build quality of any other LEGO set. The only sets that have more than one option as far as ways to change them around are the CREATOR sets (those have three different things that can be built from one set). Otherwise, all LEGO builds are just like this. There aren't just a few bricks in with a bunch of prefab pieces. I have zero clue what you are talking about. Aside from the lipsticks, everything is made from traditional LEGO pieces.
Not any women I know
I've never been to a spa or massage parlor in my life, and none of my girlfriends have, either. Nor have we ever had facials, pedicures, or body waxes. We are normal women - wives, mothers, homemakers and businesswomen. Yes, those things are common for some women nowadays, but so is hating your body and obsessing over looking "young" and "pretty". There is so much more to a person than looks, and there is so much more to life than shopping. It really, really bothers me (and oh so many others) that shallow "pampering" and frivolous spending on vanity is considered "normal" female behavior.
Every woman I know
Wow, I think you might have gone a little overboard with the stereotype.
I am 29, stay at home mom. I love getting pedicures, manicures, facials and massages. Do I get something every week or even every month? No. Do I spend my life shopping? nope. Unless we are talking about the grocery store, I go shopping vary rarely. Am I shallow? I don't think so. I like to think of myself as a good woman who works hard to make a comfortable home for my family. I keep a clean house and teach my kids manners, we eat dinner together at the table every night. Shallow pampering? I want to keep my person like I keep my house, tidy and neat. I want my feet taken care of, my skin taken care of, and my knotted muscles soothed so that I can be the best mom and wife I am able to be. I want my family to look at me and think "mom's got it together" not "mom really needs a break".
I agree, there are way worse toys that could be put on this list...is this a great toy? Not really....mainly because I don't now how your supposed to play salon when the hair is plastic.....I loved playing beauty salon when I was little, used to put hair bows all in my dad's hair :)
agree, agree, have you seen
agree, agree, have you seen the spa kits for little girls? they are out there.
How is this worse than anything else marketed to girls?
I get that this is a poor excuse for a building toy, but as far as giving the characters gender and being pink and purple and stereotypically girly, this is in line with or better than maybe 80-90% of the rest of toys specifically marketed to girls. Other less expected toys in the series include a seaplane and a speedboat. If I were six I think I'd be all over that seaplane.
Butterfly Beauty Shop
These legos are not a problem. Why can't a child chose to build a beauty shop or why should a girl have an options of colors she likes? There are so many different lego sets targeting so many other interests, superheroes, Star Wars, Ninjas, Cities, Fire/Police, why not something for someone who likes something purple? I think if a child wants to build whatever they want they can. Telling girls they shouldn't have a choice or a say in the matter is limiting them in the way you are suggesting. I believe the picture on the box is a guide, like all the other sets available, kids can make whatever they are inspired to make. There are so many other worse toys.
i loved my "boy color" legos when i was a little girl. i wish they'd stuck with the normal shaped lego people for these kits tho. :(
Friends minifigs
Then you probably haven't seen them yet. They're very cute. The original blocky ones are undeniably ugly and charmless.
On a broader note, it's pretty ridiculous (not to mention demeaning) to think that girls are so "weak-minded" that their choice of profession will be influenced by a Lego set. What is much more likely is that by being drawn into the world of building (which has certainly been the case for my 5 year-old daughter) young women may be more inclined to pursue a career in engineering, science or math. I fail to see how that qualifies Lego Friends as a worst toy of the year.
Drawn into the world of building?
This set was designed to avoid the ability or need for construction and experimentation because girls "didn't like building".
This is the Sunny D of Legos. Sure, it might get kids to like orange juice, but it sure isn't anything like actual fruit juice.
I respectfully disagree. Not sure what your quotation marks are quoting. The Lego Friends kits are quite challenging to put together, even if they're not "marketed" that way. They've got a base, walls, corners, windows, roofs, dividers, vehicles, you name it.
"On a broader note, it's pretty ridiculous (not to mention demeaning) to think that girls are so "weak-minded" that their choice of profession will be influenced by a Lego set."
So you wouldn't have a problem with boys playing with the breastfeeding doll, then, or with dolls in general, or even with this "Lego" set, right?
When I found out I was pregnant with a boy the first toy I bought for him was his own baby doll. I think every child should have a baby doll. And if my son wants to play salon, well Paul Michelle probably played salon too.
Ugly? Charmless?? You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, but frankly I am astounded that anyone could fail to see the charm in a lego person. Nothing speaks to my inner child like a lego figure. And one of the complaints here is that the new figures are markedly feminine-- the old figures could be male or female. It was easy to swap hairpieces and remake them into someone else. You could use your imagination.
In any case, I think the outrage is more that this product is being perceived as perpetuating stereotypes. The implication is not that -girls- are weak-minded and will be influenced by the product, but that -children- are. No, you absolutely don't have to buy it for your little girl, and yes, you could even buy it for your little boy. But it comes down to more than what the child is interested in, because children are still developing their interests and those depend largely on what you put in front of them. Stereotypes do exist, and there will be parents who will buy these for girls who will learn to like their girly toys even more, thereby perpetuating stereotypes. Is that wrong? That's for you to decide. I don't really think so; whatever we get our children will affect the development of their interests in some way. Girly toys aren't a worse choice than anything else. Some people-- including the CCFC-- disagree. I'd like to see less (gender-)polarized advertising. But I don't think this toy is terrible for that. It's untraditional lego, though, and I do find it distasteful.
Also, "being drawn into the world of building." That's a good point. But this product looks to be a lot less building-oriented and more focused on the things girls are 'traditionally' interested in. I think a blank-slate bucket of plain lego blocks and some generous encouragement of the imagination would be more effective at drawing a child into the world of building than this thing. There are enough bricks out there in the world to build anything-- there's no need to go by the instruction booklet. If anything, this line could be seen as painting girls as "weak-minded" by watering down the constructive-- and creative-- processes. That's could be a bit of a stretch though.
I think I understand the CCFC's point but like you, I don't think this is the worst toy of the year. I don't think it's wrong to buy this for your little girl (or boy!) if you think they'll like it. I still don't like the new figures, but that's a matter of taste.
Lego Friends
I have two daughters that love playing with these. They don't want to play with ninja legos or any other action themed set. You might as well put things like Strawberry Shortcake or Carebears on this list for being stereotypical or gender oriented. If my daughters would rather build a Butterfly shop and play with "curvy" girl legos instead of superheroes I intend to let them.
Why do none of the
Why do none of the superheroes, ninjas, cities, fire/police sets have girls in them?
I agree, these options should be open to them, but saying that girls don't want to build so we'll give them a prefab dollhouse and call it legos, is horrid. Girls should have a choice, but all Legos is giving them is lipstick and hairstyles,
There are girls that come
There are girls that come with some of the City sets and one that comes with a Ninjago set. There are also girls that come wi Star a
Wars sets. I'm not crazy about the Friends beauty set either, but I wanted to point out this out. My daughter enjoys playing with my sons Legos as much as he does. She probably likes the "boy" Legos better than the Friends sets she has.
LEGO Friends
You are wrong Lynne! You should look a little closer next time you make a comment. There are many girl figures in the LEGO sets. All the products you mentioned have girls in them. Superheroes, Ninjago AND City. There is even a girl astronaut in one of the sets! The LEGO Friends Butterfly Beauty Shop is only ONE of many LEGO Friends products. I think LEGO have done a great job making sure they don't stereo type girls. Here are some of the other products: 3933 Olivia's Invention Workshop, 3063 Heartlake Flying Club, 3184 Adventure Camper and 3937 Olivia's Speedboat. So what if the bricks are pink! A lot of girls like pink so why not make bricks that are pink! It's about time girls get some fun LEGO sets to build. I have heard that these LEGO Friends sets are selling like crazy so I guess the customers have already made there own opinion about these products.
lego barbie
Yea. Ok. So go ahead and gather up the lego sets geared to boys and then geared to girls and tell me what you find.
Ha ha
Pretty clever article. However, we do have a toy snow-cone maker and it gets a lot of use on hot summer days AND provides some exercise as well! My son and his friends love using it but have to really exert some energy cranking that thing for a small amount of crushed ice. The flavoring isn't a whole lot to give that much sugar either, probably less than a cup of lemonade.
Re: Lego Friends
"your little princess won't need to worry her pretty little head about icky boy things like building" Except, you know, when they build the set.
But that's not what Lego is promoting
Nathan P.
Your point is well-taken that girls will have to put the kit together. But it's interesting -- and troubling -- that Lego isn't mentioning that at all in the marketing. The language we use above comes directly from Lego . There's not a word in there about creativity or building but they actually do say you can use the set to "gossip out on the bench by the scenic fountain." That speaks volumes about what Lego thinks about girls. Josh, CCFC
There are toys more deserving of a TOADY than this Lego set
Although I agree that it is tough to defend Lego's shameful description of the set, I would be much more disturbed if that language was actually on the box. I think that Lego's track record of providing so many constructive, imaginative toy sets warrants a pass for a TOADY nomination. I do believe the bigger issue is their increased branding / joint-markeing of sets, but that can be voted against by simply not buying them. In my opinion Lego represents so much more than this somewhat rare misstep. Half of Mattel's entire toyline is probably more deserving than this nomination.
At the risk of being too long-winded, I would also like to add that my daughter actually was introduced to Legos through the "Friends" theme, but realized very quickly that the "boy" Legos were just as, if not more fun. She also realized that many of the "branded" sets (including the "Friends" theme) offer small, unique parts not conducive to rebuilding. She now requests the creator/ basic brick sets to expand the playability of those sets. Lego has come up with a way to introduce girls to a traditionally boy-centered toy and it is a win-win for my family. Instead of asking for a half-naked Barbie/Brats/Monster High doll for Christmas, my daughter has asked me for Lego Creator sets that allow HER to choose if her "Friends" minifigures are at the salon, in a castle, or on the moon....
Much ado about a beauty salon
Well said, Eugene. My 4-year-old daughter and I (progressive woman who wears makeup maaaaybe twice a year) love the Lego Friends line in addition to the "regular" Legos. Do the critics of the Lego beauty salon know that most beauty shops on the PLANET are small businesses run by women? Salon workers do not exist to perpetuate stereotypes; that's what TV and magazines are for. ;-) P.S. The people who say that the Friends' structures are not challenging have never put them together.
Lego isn't "promoting" anything but versatile creatvity.
There isn't a word in the descriptions of ANY of Lego's sets about creativity or building at that level. It isn't until you get to the Creator sets or the Building Academy sets that they mention it. Lego is synonymous with creative building. That aspect of its playability is assumed just by virtue of the fact that it's Lego. Calm down.
Specifically designed to be simple, not require
You should look up what their goals were for designing this. Their #1 was that girls didn't like building blocks, so they'd make a legos with the need to construct or the ability to redesign. Without, you know, the reason parents buy legos for their kids. It's like creating a math book with only pictures to color in.
Creativity and building is not assumed. It has been specifically removed.
Gossip line
I think the marketing of the Lego Friends set is worse than the product itself. The "gossip out on the bench by the scenic fountain." line makes me sick. We can enjoy dolls and playhouses and even girly salon stuff. There is nothing wrong with that. Josh is right, however, that what is bothersome here is Lego's attitude towards girls.
These just made me sad....
While each of these selections deserves a "TOADY," out of sheer disgust I have to choose the "Laugh and Learn Apptivity Monkey." Fisher-Price's misleading marketing drivel claims that babies as young as 6 months can learn numbers and letters by watching images flash on a screen while an annoying voice accompanied by cutesy music repeats nonsensical phrases. (Of course, it does not explain why 6 month old babies need to "learn" such things in the first place…) We are assured that "babies enjoy their very own apps while protecting mom or dad's iPhone or iTouch" and, perhaps most pathetically, its "durable case is located on the Monkey's stomach and protects your device from baby's dribbles and drool." How sad.
For the first time, I'm an undecided TOADY voter---each of these toys deserves to win. Perhaps next year the TOADYs can expand and offer multiple categories. I'm guessing there'll be more than enough qualified candidates. :-(
Finally Legos for girls
For years, my daughters have loved playing with lego's just like their brother. However, there was never a set designed for girls. Finally, lego started making sets for girls, and my 7 year old loves them. I take offense at the statement that "your little princess won't need to worry her pretty little head about icky boy things like building." This article listed the beauty shop which my daughter already has, and at 6 years old built the entire 220+ piece set herself. For this Christmas she asked for the house which is a 700 piece set with multiple ways to configure the house. The building instructions for that kit are more advanced than some of the ones I've built for my son, and I guarantee she will build the entire thing. These sets are 10x better than some monster high/bratz/novi stars garbage.
Why not nominate violence-themed Legos?
I agree, the nomination of the "girl Legos" is misplaced. As far as gender stereotypes, have you seen some of the violent or macho Lego kits? I assume you have nominated those in years past! My daughter is not a mindless ninny, but she has not a whit of interest in most Lego kits, like Star Wars or tranformers. Why should you dictate her taste? Or criticize a marketer who caters to it with high-quality toys? She loves animals and role playing and I am thinking of getting a Lego Friends set for her for Christmas to go with the other lego sets she already has.
The legos are a poor nominee here - they still encourage building and creativity. Many of the girl-oriented lego sets are more advanced and require a good deal of spatial awareness and aptitude.
This is a toy girls want to play with, that doesn't make it a bad choice - Lego is responding to a trend, not causing it.
Reprehensible lot
As always I have trouble choosing which toy is the worst as each one is more reprehensible than the next. Ultimately, I am choosing Laugh and Learn Apptivity Monkey because of its potential damage to the development of really young children. I am disappointed with Lego for developing "girl" building sets. Granted there is assembly required and fine motor skills practice involved, but there is little left to the imagination, and I worry about encouraging obsessing about looks and "beauty" in young girls.
Close call...
I ended up choosing the monkey mostly because that one is for my son's age group. There are quite a few baby toys that incorporate the iPhone and it makes me wonder if putting a child that young in front of a screen like that is a good idea.
Tough decision...
They were all pretty disturbing. I have to agree with Anne though about the "Apptivity monkey" because it targets children whose brains are making connections that will last a lifetime. Even the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends NO screen time before 2 years of age. But what do you expect? It IS fisher Price the same people who brought us the "Smart Cycle".(Laughable). Having 3 young girls, the Lego's were a close second. Despite my best efforts(no commercial toys, very limited screen time etc) my girls seem to absorb a sassy persona simply by attending school with kids who's families promote similar toys. Bratz are still one of the worst toy lines in existence it's sad how many toy companies are following their lead; turning out 6 year old's who think they are 16 and creating an impossible ideal for young girls to aspire to. It's a cryin' shame! Lego's are one of the best toys ever. So sad to see them take this unfortunate detour...
School is more to blame
I find that your statement above makes it clear that it is your girls attending school with those other children that have taught them undesirable behaviors, not the Lego Friends. We are a homeschooling family, and our exposure to other children is almost exclusively homeschooling families. We rarely see the kids pretend to be sassy, because they are generally unaware of that behavior. When they are exposed to it, generally from kids who attend school, my daughter will tell other children that if that is how they want to play, she will play something else. It is not an acceptable behavior in our children, therefore it is not acceptable TO THEM in their play.
My 9 year-old daughter LOVES her Lego Friends sets. She does not want the beauty shop. Her first was the girl that works with grooming animals. My dear daughter loves animals, and has really enjoyed discovering Lego Friends sets with similar tastes (rabbit hutch, horse w/ trailer). Prior to Lego Friends, our Lego Club was all boys. Even if girls wanted to join in, they liked to build in a different style than the boys. The boys showed no interest in the things the girls would built. Now, almost all of the girls who have a brother in the club are joining Lego Club. They take apart their Friends kits and build entirely new things!
And even though the building kits would appear to limit creativity, I feel like they encourage it by TEACHING the children how to use pieces to make the things that they want to make The youngest mimic and copy the kits, slowly adding their own variations until, eventually they are building things entirely new! Kits have helped my son to develop CONFIDENCE in his ability to create, where he was only disappointed that the things he built previously did not look the way he saw them in his mind.
You know, this is the second year I've voted for the toady awards and once again I'm disappointed that Lego has a nomination. I was a little more understanding last year about the Cars (movie) set, but the Friends Lego has brought a lot of girls into the world of building.
You showed the stereotypical set, but there is a also an inventor's workshop, a vet, and many outdoors sets. They all allow for ample building and creativity. I personally had a lot of fun building the inventor's workshop and will proudly display it in my lab!
Did anyone consider that men may want a set that is not stereotypically male as well? According to my local Lego shop, many men have come in to buy multiple sets of Friends Lego, because there is a color pallette that was previously unavailable. For them it has opened up new possibilities.
Lego Friends
My 6 year old daughter LOVES the LEGO Friends sets. My son and I both like LEGO and we all play together with the Friends sets.
I have an 8 year old that never played with Legos until Lego Friends came out and now we have almost the whole collection. The other sets in the lego friends collection are a vet, horse stable, cafe, house, boat, car, camper plus other things. If anything lego friends brings girls into the world of legos and can expand their horizons to other collections that are available if they enjoy legos. Maybe not all girls want to build gray, red, and blue ninjago fighters and want happy cheerful pink and purple legos.
Lego set is the worst
That Lego set does NOT offer a choice. Girls like building and making things without it having to be prettified - this is the opposite of choice, it's about the NaRROWING of choice for girls, LIMITING them yet again to the idea that looks are all they are important for. It gets my vote.

CNBC Prime's "The Profit" Set for Nationwide Race
New Hampshire Motor Speedway officials announced today that "The Profit," a groundbreaking new television reality series that debuts July 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CNBC, will be the title sponsor of the CNBC Prime's "The Profit" 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday, July 13.
The unique race sponsorship was unveiled today by Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World, who stars in the series.
When Lemonis isn't running Camping World, he goes on the hunt for struggling businesses that are desperate for cash and ripe for a deal. In the past decade, he's successfully turned around over 100 companies. Now he's bringing those skills to CNBC and doing something no one has ever done on TV before … he's putting his own money on the line.
In each episode, Lemonis makes an offer; his cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the profits. And once inside these companies, he'll do almost anything to save the business. Viewers will get to see his personal mantra ring true: "Business success is about the three P's: People, Process and Product."
"Partnering with New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the CNBC Prime's 'The Profit' 200 gives us a unique opportunity to educate NASCAR fans about our new series, which we believe they will find both entertaining and educational," Lemonis explained. "Through Camping World, we are very familiar with the benefits generated by being a NASCAR race sponsor and this is the best possible way for us to spread the word about 'The Profit.'"
"Not only is Marcus a staunch supporter of NASCAR racing, he has a deep passion for helping small businesses not only survive, but thrive in today's economic conditions," Gappens said. "'The Profit' is a fascinating new television concept and we are honored that Marcus and CNBC have chosen the CNBC Prime's 'The Profit' 200 to introduce the program to race fans around the world."
Beginning July 30, "The Profit" will air on Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) on CNBC. Information about the program is available at cnbc.com/the-profit
Kyle Busch has won three of the last four NASCAR Nationwide Series races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and he is among those expected to compete in the CNBC Prime's "The Profit" 200. The field will also include a long list of series regulars such as Regan Smith, Sam Hornish Jr., Justin Allgaier, Elliott Sadler, Austin Dillon and rookie Kyle Larson.
The green flag for the CNBC Prime's "The Profit" 200 is set for 3:30 p.m. on July 13 and will be live on ABC and PRN.
Tickets for the July 13 CNBC Prime's "The Profit" 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race start at just $25 and can be purchased by calling the New Hampshire Motor Speedway ticket hotline at (603) 783-4931 or online at www.nhms.com. Good seats are also still available for the Camping World RV Sales 301 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, July 14.

Kickin' it with Otto Schneider at the Kneippanlage in Maisental, Bad Urach.
What is kneippen you might ask? To be honest, I don't know myself: it happens at the end of a hike and involves wading in a very particular (not to say peculiar) manner in a pool of knee-high, freezing-cold water. It was spectacular. Sebastian Kneipp was definitely onto something.
This was the guy in charge. He instructed me in proper technique. Since it was my first experience with the Kneipp … I asked for a picture. Just to record the moment. I never do that kind of thing, but I decided not to think about it and ask before I could reconsider.

Forgiveness Extends to Holocaustby Gary James '10 • September 27, 2007 Share:
Forgiveness can mean different things to different people. Professor John Roth has exerted a substantial amount of time, energy and thought into probing the nuances of what some consider one of life's most profound virtues.
John K. Roth is the Robert and Carolyn Frederick Distinguished Visiting Professor of Ethics at DePauw University. He shared his insight Sept. 26 into the necessities and difficulties of Forgiveness in his talk, Forgiveness? Reflections on Ethics after the Holocaust.
The main thrust of Roth's lecture centered on the implications presented by the question, "Who needs forgiveness?" The question possesses two possible inflections, Roth said. One questioned the universal need of everyone to be forgiven, and the other questioned the virtue of the act itself. Suspicion about the whether or not everyone needs forgiveness came from the observation that some people inflict more harm than others. Suspicion about the virtue of forgiveness sprung from the concern that the mercy would be seen as a pretext to forgetting or trivializing the action that led to need for the forgiveness in the first place.
"To forgive is an act that can have very different meanings," Roth said. "To forgive means to be merciful, to pardon an offense or an offender, to give up a claim against another individual, to set aside a debt, to relinquish anger or resentment however justifiable those feeling may be, to free a person from the burden of guilt. Thus, forgiveness is what we may call afterward. It has that status partly because of the holocaust and other human catastrophes."
It was through crises like the holocaust and apartheid that Roth explored different ways of thinking about forgiveness.
He began with an anecdote about the context of a lecture about forgiveness he delivered at the Cape Town Holocaust Center in South Africa last year. It corresponded with the media attention surrounding an earlier meeting between Reverend Frank Chikane and Mr. Adriaan Vlok. Vlok was former Police Minister during the Apartheid regime. He was responsible for the deaths of thousands of people and was expected to have been involved in an attempt to poison Chikane in the 1980s. In 2006, Vlok performed the symbolic gesture of washing Chikane's feet.
"The question and answer session was particularly lively that evening," Roth said. "We will see how that discussion plays out tonight. But I think it's safe to say the theme of forgiveness especially when it is explored in relation to events of atrocities –holocaust and apartheid among them- is bound to be vexed and fraught."
Roth surveyed the different ways of approaching the holocaust by examining the different conclusions scholars and holocaust survivors reached when deciding whether or not perpetrators of the holocaust should be forgiven.
Roth opened his inspection with a statement attributed to Primo Levi, an Italian Jew who survived Auschwitz and eventually became a writer:
"I have not forgiven any of the culprits nor am I willing to forgive any one of them unless he has shown with deeds not words and not too long afterwards that he has become conscious of the crimes and errors and is determined to condemn them, [to] uproot them from his conscience and that of others. "
Rudolf Vrba was a Polish Jew who was able to escape Auschwitz. In 1964 his memoirs were published with the title, "I Cannot Forgive." Although the memoir does not address Vrba's ideas about forgiveness, Roth argues the title indicates that forgiveness was on his mind and that he thought it important to reject forgiveness for holocaust perpetrators.
"There is a sense that forgiveness is out of place where the holocaust is concerned," Roth said. "Indeed the holocaust is often judged to be unforgivable."
Simon Wiesenthal was an Austrian Jew who survived the holocaust and spent the rest of his life hunting down Nazi war criminals. In one encounter, he came in contact with Nazi soldier on his death bed, who confessed he had participated in the mass murder of Jews, with the hopes of being forgiven before he died. Instead, Wiesenthal walked out of the room without saying a word, conflicted about what to do.
Auschwitz-survivor Jean Amery thought Wiesenthal's anguish was irrelevant because forgiveness had no place outside of politics, and he refused to forgive criminals. Former Notre Dame President Theodore Hesburgh said his instinct was to forgive because God would forgive. Lawrence Langer felt that the atrocities of the Nazis were unforgivable
African-American scholar Hubert Locke focused on Wiesenthal's silence. Some questions don't have answers, he said. Some answers remove the moral force of the questions. Abraham Joshua Heschel believed no living person could give forgiveness for the 6 million dead at the hand of the Nazis.
Primo Levi understood why Wiesenthal may have been filled with doubts because the issues he was dealt with were not simply "yes" and "no" decisions, Roth said. There was always something to be added to either side.
Roth concluded his lecture by affirming there was no one-size-fits-all approach to forgiveness. Instead he offered six points that could be derived from the considerations of the different perspectives in the Jewish, scholarly, and religious communities. The first was that forgiveness is necessary; the second was that to forgive is dangerous because it can minimize accountability, trivialize suffering, and cause people to forget; the third was to avoid the dangers of forgiveness while reconciling the human need for it by establishing basic conditions for granting forgiveness, such as repentance; the fourth was that forgiveness is a relationship between specific living persons and a living person cannot not forgive on behalf of someone not living; and the fifth was that forgiveness cannot be received through coercion and is gift.
"In their most fundamental sense, our inquires about forgiveness are nothing less than the restoration of a broken human image and the maintenance of any healing we've achieved through forgiveness or in the wake of its impossibility," Roth said. "Reflections about forgiveness are by no means the only path in that direction but the quest to recover and deepen our humanity will be impeded and impoverished unless we continue to ask and respond thoughtfully to versions of the question, "who needs forgiveness?"
"I think when you bring people of this stature and this level of expertise on important matters like the holocaust and challenging issues like forgiveness, I think we are all prodded in our thinking," said Religion Professor Jonathan Baer, who handled the logistics of bringing Mr. Roth to campus. "I think we are pushed to consider at a deeper level things that we might not have thought through so clearly. Personally I find that enormously helpful, and I think it's part of what President White has called part of the ongoing conversation that makes for a liberal arts college that's more dynamic."
"It was a good talk," said Jeff Kessels '10. "It raises questions about self-forgiveness and forgiveness of a community. I can't forgive anyone for sins he or she has committed against another person. I can only forgive what was actually committed against me. I think the topic was very abstract and raised more questions than it did provide answers."

What is narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder. It is a lifelong disease of the central nervous system.
Narcolepsy causes excessive and overwhelming daytime sleepiness, even after getting plenty of nighttime sleep. If you have narcolepsy, you are likely to become drowsy or to fall asleep at inappropriate times and places. These sleep attacks may happen with or without warning.
You may have repeated attacks in a single day. The drowsiness may last a long time. Nighttime sleep may be split up, and you may wake up often.
What causes narcolepsy?The cause of narcolepsy is not known. It involves the body's central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. Narcolepsy is a genetic disorder. It is caused by a deficiency in the production of a brain chemical that helps neurons talk to each other.
What are the symptoms of narcolepsy?
The following are the most common symptoms of narcolepsy. However, people may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). An overwhelming desire to sleep at inappropriate times.
- Cataplexy. A sudden loss of muscle control ranging from slight weakness to total collapse.
- Sleep paralysis. Being unable to talk or move for about one minute when falling asleep or waking up.
- Hypnagogic hallucinations. Vivid and often scary dreams and sounds reported when falling asleep.
Other symptoms include:
- Automatic behavior. Performing routine tasks without conscious awareness of doing so, and often without memory of it.
- Disrupted nighttime sleep and waking up often
You may have other difficulties as you cope with this condition including:
- Feelings of intense fatigue and continual lack of energy
- Depression
- Difficulty in concentrating and memorizing
- Vision (focusing) problems
- Eating binges
- Weak limbs
- Difficulties in handling alcohol
How is narcolepsy diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, lab tests to confirm diagnosis and plan treatment may include:
- Overnight polysomnogram (PSG). A sleep specialist will monitor you during an entire night of sleep.
- Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). This test measures when you fall asleep and how quickly rapid eye movement (REM) sleep occurs.
- Genetic blood test. To test for a genetic mutation often found in people who tend to have narcolepsy.
How is narcolepsy treated?
Specific treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on:
- Your age, overall health, and medical history
- Severity of the disease
- Your tolerance for specific medicines, procedures, or therapies
- Expectations for the course of the disease
- Your opinion or preference
The goal of treatment of narcolepsy is to help you remain as alert as possible during the day. It's also important to reduce times when you lose muscle control. Ideally, this can be done using a minimal amount of medicine.
- Medicines. Central nervous system stimulants are usually prescribed for excessive sleepiness. Antidepressants may help with muscle control.
- Nap therapy. Two or three short naps during the day may help control sleepiness and maintain alertness.
- Proper diet
- Regular exercise
- Behavioral therapy

Blockbuster Using Its Deal With Warner Bros. To Mock Redbox And Netflix
from the getting-desperate? dept
But the Blockbuster deal seemed confusing -- because most consumers wouldn't be following these silly deals and wouldn't understand why a movie had been "released" but wasn't available via their favorite rental service. Apparently, Blockbuster's answer to all this is to mock Netflix and Redbox for not carrying new releases. Seriously. Reader Daylyn sends in the following ad he recently saw that points out that Netflix and Redbox don't carry this movie:

Here's the online front page of the state-run English-language China Daily this afternoon. Welcome to China, Joe Biden! Hey, wasn't that goodwill mission supposed to include a basketball game?
Sure, inter-superpower relations may have decayed to the point where a friendly matchup between the Georgetown Hoyas and the People's Liberation Army Bayi Rockets turned into a Cold War-style foul-fest, which turned into a chippy Big East aggro-display and thence into a benches-emptying full-court battle royal. But that doesn't make it news. The basketball game is nowhere to be seen in the goodwill-tour coverage on the official story feed ("US vice president has noodles for lunch"). Harmonious society prevails.
