The Tao of Dana: listening to people’s problems
The Tao of Dana: listening to people’s problems
âI have to be there for them.â Thats the common way its phrased when you openup your ears to the multitude of problems people in your life wish to unload upon you. You know what? Listening to problems does not help them get solved. In fact, it does a big disservice to the people you are âlistening…
My goodness, the internet seems to be brimming with awesome tales of interspecies friendship lately. We love it! So without further ado, hereâs another one for you:
In the beginning of May a Canadian wolf named Jacob and a grey she-wolf named Lopa became parents in Vladivostok, Russia. Unfortunately Lopa rejected her five cubs. People tried feeding the cubs with special milk, but four of them didnât survive. That left one little female in need of care. People tried unsuccessfully to pair her with a sheepdog, but the dog responded aggressively and things began to look very grim for the frail little cub.
Fortunately a local Dalmatian named Ryba, aged 8, showed some interest in the cub.The wolf cub, now named Rapunzel, tried to suckle from the motherly Dalmation, which seemed impossible since Ryba has never had pups of her own. Nevertheless, somehow Ryba began to suckle her little charge. Ryba takes good care of her little adopted daughter, sleeps beside her, licks the cub clean, massages her stomach, and doesnât let strangers come close.
When wolf cubs first open their eyes they imprint on whatever they see. On May 18th Rapunzel finally opened her eyes to see Ryba, which officially maked Ryba her new mother. AwwâŠ

The Best Photo of a Naked Guy at a Phillies Game Youâve Ever Seen
I mean, what else can you do but give kudos to Associated Press photographer Jeff Roberson for framing this photo in just about the only acceptable way to make a naked guy on a baseball field seem like a total badass – The700Level
And Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports tells the story like a goddamn David Anspaugh film
One row in front of Grundstrom sat Jackson Dement, a precocious 7-year-old redhead who had come to see baseball. Instead, he saw a naked dude, something that on the street connotes horror and psychological scars and yet at a stadium is charming, an act of civil disobedience in which everybody but one can participate without penalty.
Collin Grundstrom, streaker, will pay in dollars and shame, his search-engine purity forever ruined for an act of loyalty, bravery and nudity.
Jackson Dement, fan, declared to his mom, Kellee: âThis was the best game ever.â
