Are you tired of sales? Did Black Friday and Cyborg Monday beat your wallet to a penniless pulp? Well, TOO BAD. Games will continue going on sale from now until the end of time, and somewhere in between, you will cast off your mortal coil poor and probably alone. I apologize. That was too much. Sales just get me super amped up about mortality, is all. Anyway, the Humble Jumbo Bundle is composed of six games and tons of DLC. Standouts include Natural Selection 2, Sanctum 2, and Orcs Must Die! 2. Details below.

Natural Selection 2 Needs Cash, Asks The Crowd
By Craig Pearson on August 30th, 2013.
I started writing this story just to point out that Natural Selection 2 is going to have a free weekend over the next few days, and that if you hadn't yet bought it then you should take a look. It's a really good indie multiplayer shooter that managed to overshadow Aliens: Colonial Marines in every possible way, and they've just updated it with loads of new content. There's new weapons, female player models, better tutorials, and more. There's a trailer for that below. But there's also a trailer for a new crowd-funding scheme as well. Unknown Worlds has released free updates for the game since it's been launched, but as the game's returns diminish they need cash to continue working on it full-time. The latest free update cost them $550,000. Their hope? That a tiered donation and reward system will recoup some of that expenditure.
UPDATE: Unknown Worlds have responded to some of my concerns. They're at PAX and recorded a video. I've embedded it below.
Hoo-rah: Natural Selection 2 Adding Female Marines
By Nathan Grayson on July 4th, 2013.
In Natural Selection 2, you can play as just about anything. Gigantic pairs of teeth with tiny feet attached, mutant god elephants, space pterodactyls, scythe-armed devil wraiths, and, you know, men. But not human women. At least, not yet. Thankfully, that's all about to change, as Unknown Worlds has unveiled a female marine design that's, well, pretty freaking great. Better late than never, I suppose. So hurrah! Details after the break.
Natural Caution: The Perils Of Cheap Game Keys
By Alec Meer on March 8th, 2013.
Here's a cautionary tale, and a stark reminder that digital goods are still the World Wide Wild West. While a majority of PC games these days seem to ultimately involve a Steam key (which is itself an understandably controversial state of affairs), ownership of one of those keys can be sold by any number of third parties. So we see online stores both reputable and troublesome striving to offer downloads for less than a direct Steam activation, less than each other and, most commonly, less than the frequently outrageously inflated official pricing in some territories. Such was (and presumably is) the case for Natural Selection 2. Revealed developer Unknown Worlds yesterday, "Recently, a batch of 1,341 NS2 Steam keys were purchased using stolen credit cards. These keys were then offered for sale by various resellers. The owners of said cards disputed the transactions, and thankfully received their money back."
Thankfully for them, but less thankfully for a) Unknown Worlds and b) the people who had bought the keys.
Gorge Yourself: Natural Selection 2 Free Expansion
By Adam Smith on February 28th, 2013.
When you look at RPS, wherever you might be, RPS looks back at you. We're a lot like The Void in that way. Fear not, however, for our uncanny glare should not intimidate you. Usually we simply squint through the screen and ponder what it is about our words and faces that attracts the most handsome readers of all. I can't confirm whether or not Natural Selection 2 developers Unknown Worlds watch players of their game battling one another in the people vs aliens team-based shooter, but they are evidently pleased with their lovely playerbase because today they are releasing the Gorgeous expansion for free. "It includes Railguns, Gorge Tunnels, Descent, and quite a few fun surprises."
Let's Share Some RPS Community Video Antics
By Jim Rossignol on February 18th, 2013.
There are quite a few communities bustling away in the General Sociability forum, and some of those have produced of videos of their antics. I've embedded just a few of those below. There are many more, and I am sure others still I haven't seen.
Are you doing video stuff with the RPS community? Link your work/play in the comments!

Wot I Think: Natural Selection 2
By Jim Rossignol on November 23rd, 2012.
Natural Selection 2's intense multiplayer sci-fi corridor-combat has given me odd dreams. I am not sure why that's relevant, but I wanted to mention it.
Unknown Worlds' long-awaited sequel (since 2002!) to the original hybrid mega-mod has been out for a while now, and I've been snapping my giant, slavering jaws on the live servers during that time. I believe this means I am ready to send you an encoded transmission that tells you wot I think.

Of Close Calls And Crazy People
How Natural Selection 2 Was Saved (And Made) By Fans
By Nathan Grayson on November 3rd, 2012.
Natural Selection 2 is out. You can buy it right now. Given that it's actually possible both purchase and play (!) a great many games, that might not seem like such a huge deal to you. But make no mistake: Unknown Worlds' RTS/FPS buildy-chompy-shooty hybrid could've easily died on the vine. And it nearly did – over and over and over, for pretty much the entirety of its development cycle. Fortunately, the NS2 team has always had a secret weapon on its side: a community that is – by most definitions of the word – completely and rather terrifyingly insane. This is their story.
Natural Selection 2 Jumps Its Own Gun
By Alec Meer on October 30th, 2012.
Imagine all the things you could do with seven hours. You could have a somewhat unsatisfying sleep. You could go on a plane flight that wouldn't quite get you to America. You could complete Dishonored fifteen times. You could clean up your Goddamn house.
One thing you don't have to do with seven hours is spend them impatiently waiting for Natural Selection 2, which after years of development has had its release date moved forward ever so slightly.

Selected For October 31st: Natural Selection 2
By Jim Rossignol on October 10th, 2012.
Unknown Worlds have sent word that their hybird FPS/RTS Natural Selection 2 will finally be released on October 31st. Natural Selection 2 is a sequel to the famed and enormously popular Half-Life mod, which was one of the most ambitious attempts to shake up the "Fortress" formula, introducing a top-down commander to bring a tactical-oversight aspect to the usual team-based combat. It was also, brilliantly, asymmetrical, with space marine types fighting a varied team of aliens. Natural Selection 2 is a complete rebuild of that concept, and frankly it looks astonishing. I can't wait to get stuck in to the finished game. Trailer belooooow.

Natural Selection 2 Selects October Launch Date, Naturally
By Nathan Grayson on September 6th, 2012.
True fact: natural selection, the "survival of the fittest" cornerstone of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, was named after Unknown Worlds' Natural Selection 2. Yes, that's right: Natural Selection 2 has been in development since the mid-1800s. Check a history book. It's the truth. But now, after generations of tweaking and perfecting its particular brand of asymmetrical aliens vs marines blasting/teeth-gnashing, the developer's ready to unleash its promising creation on our lowly, non-immortal forms. What exactly will you get, though? Let's find out.

Brad's afternoon edition. Click here to read his morning edition.
* I'll sum up road conditions in Omaha on Wednesday morning in a nutshell: at the Henry Doorly Zoo, the polar bears looked out at our streets and got homesick.
* Snow removal on side streets is going slow. I have an idea: mobilize every candidate for mayor, hand him or her a shovel, and we can get this done by nightfall.
* I wouldn't say some roads in Omaha were in bad shape for the Wednesday morning commute, but I saw two snowy owls nesting in the middle of Farnam Street.
* "Hansel & Gretel: Vampire Hunters" is the no. 1 movie at the box office. There's a chance I'll go to a theater showing this film. Say, if my car breaks down in freezing weather, and the theater is the only shelter for 30 miles. And even then, probably not.
* A new tour has been announced by the group The Who. Or, as people under 30 call 'em, "The What?"
* In Grand Junction, Colo., a loyal dog stayed by his owner's side after the man fell through ice on a river. Contrast that with the man's cat who rifled through his pockets, grabbed the car keys and pigged out on all the treats in the glove compartment.
* Ray Lewis has been linked to use of a banned compound found in deer antlers. After hearing this, Lance Armstrong leapt to his feet shouting, "Deer antlers? I knew I missed one."
* The parents of John and Jim Harbaugh, Jack and Jackie, have been married 51 years. The family coaching pedigree is now so obvious that Jackie just received an offer to lead the Arizona Cardinals.
* AJ McCarron's girlfriend is covering the Super Bowl for "Inside Edition." Considering how many people go to "Inside Edition" for their Super Bowl news, they may as well hire Manti Te'o's girlfriend.
* NU got a commitment from offensive tackle Matt Finnin of the College of Dupage (Ill.), whose 6 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 330 pounds. At the College of Dupage, he doubles as the arts and sciences building.
* Experts are trying to determine why the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Omaha didn't draw as well as the U.S. Swim Trials, or, as Omahans called the latter, "that fireworks show beside water."
* Ashley Wagner won first place at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships despite falling twice. I'd like to clear up some confusion. There is no official "Triple toe loop to your back side" skating move.
* In soccer, the U.S and Canada just tied 0-0. OK, now I'm really ready for the Super Bowl.

How to Add a Retention Strap to Your Water Bottle |
Submitted by: Tip Hero 03/13/2012 2:34 PM |
Carrying a water bottle around is great way to save money, especially if you're out and about all day and get thirsty. However, it can easy to lose your water bottle cap if you carry around a bottle like this: All you need to keep track of the lid is a simple retention strap that you can make out of paracord (found easily online). To do this project, you'll need to know how to tie a double fisherman's knot and a bowline, so check out the tutorials to help you out if you need!

Added August 01, 2013
As you get older, you may have an interest to start wearing makeup. While you think you're old enough, your parents may have different opinions for when you can start. If you can prove to your parents that you can use makeup to accentuate your natural beauty, they will be more apt to let you wear it regularly. So prove to them that you know how to wear it! With a little practice and creativity ground in the basics, you'll achieve the look your parents will approve. And don't be afraid to ask your mom for help. You might discover something fun to do together!
Here's the key: You want to accentuate your features instead of looking made-up. Less is more. You don't want to appear like you've spent hours applying layers of makeup. Plus, minimizing the amount of makeup applied is better for your skin in the long run.
At your age, you don't need a lot of foundation, or any at all. You want to even out your skin tone and cover up any blemishes. Consider using a tinted moisturizer, which is a lighter formula and has the benefit of moisture. In order to cover up your blemishes, lightly dab concealer on the specific areas needed. Blend it by lightly brushing outwards. Let it dry and then set it with a cotton swab dipped in loose powder.
When using blush on your cheek area, go for a natural, sun-kissed look. Lightly brush blush over the "apples" of your cheeks (to find your "apples," just smile!) and finish with lighter coverage on the bridge of your nose and your forehead.
For now, start with a little bit of eye shadow. Select a medium shade that can work well for an everyday look. To apply eye shadow, brush the color from your lash line up to the crease in your eye to cover your entire lid.
A little mascara to darken your lashes is a great way to call attention to your eyes. Have pretty blue eyes? Frame them with a dark brown mascara. Dark eyes? Opt for a slightly darker mascara shade.
Opt for a fresh look by applying lip gloss. It's light and looks natural while adding a shimmery glow. Skip the heavy or bright lipstick.
Check with your parents for any guidelines you need to follow. When they see you have enhanced your look with little makeup, they will be happy to allow you to apply it everyday.

CyHi Da Prynce, Thurz, Project Pat & More Rock DJBooth's ATL Indie Fest Stage
Filed Under: Exclusives, Featured, Concerts, by JRTheWriter on Aug 08, 2011
Atlanta, Ga. -- While the South has produced some of the most prominent emcees of the past few years, nowhere seems more like a goldmine than the Mecca of the south, Atlanta. As hundreds of Hip-Hop lovers and artists came together for DJBooth's stage at the ATL Indie Hip-Hop Fest, the DJ set the tempo early playing some of that classic Outkast to get the southern spirit in the atmosphere.
As the rain started failing outside, more people ran into the building to hear some of the A's exciting upcomers like Jarren Benton, The Dreamer (from Hollyweerd), a planking Grip Playaz, and many more. Whether people were "cooking" to Jarren Benton's "Justin Bieber," dancing to a dubstep remixed version of Grip's "Jockin," or getting heavy to west coaster Thurz' "Los Angeles," there wasn't one dull moment for the assembled Hip-Hop enthusiasts.
As the night went on, Jackie Chain kept the crowd "Rollin" as he set up the stage for some other southerner's to rep their states. One of the hypest was Project Pat, as he put some south in our mouths with classics like, "Chicken Head," "Raised in the Projects," and many more. While other artists rocked the basement of the club like Sean Falyon and J*Davey, the crowd gave great "Southern Hospitality" as the windy city wind blew in emcee GLC. After performing his classics, the tavern had finally reached its capacity, as Cyhi The Prynce took the stage for the final performance. As a reoccurring member of the Indie Fest, Cyhi gave encouraging words to all the fellow artists, saying he was once in the same position they were and in - now he's traveling the world with Ye. After a monstrous set, you realized that the South is putting their mark on Hip-Hop with not just talent, but with all the support and dedication the fans and artists have for one another. Our sincere thanks to all of the fans and artists who showed up to rock with DJBooth.

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
Player Piano Rolls
maddog finds out that copyright prevents preserving paper player piano rolls.
Some people know that I collect automated musical instruments: player pianos, player organs, nickelodeons, and other mechanisms that use a roll of paper to control the playing of the instrument. This was a natural outcome of my fascination of controlling a piece of hardware with "logic" and "software" and my love of music. I have even developed a talk about how free software is like a player piano, and have given this talk several times, complete with illustrations and music played from my piano collection.
Many years ago, I joined the Automatic Musical Instrument Collector's Association (AMICA) [1], and I receive their publications. This month's edition talked about how Yamaha is using Linux in their automated grand pianos to control the automation. These Yamaha Disklavier Mark IV pianos provide an amazing array of features and the ability to download music software updates from the Internet [2].
Pogue's article reminded me of the Marshall & Ogletree Opus 1 organ installed at Trinity Church in New York City. Designed to replace Trinity's real pipe organ, which was destroyed during the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001, the Opus 1 uses 10 Linux PCs to drive 74 channels of sound with between 150 and 500 watts of power for each channel. It even has a "hot stand-by" PC to take over in case the hardware fails on any of the 10 PCs. On their website, the Opus 1 designers say that a certain popular desktop operating system was too unstable for anything as important as an organ recital, which is why they chose Linux. Of course, this instrument is also connected to the Internet and can download new voices or be monitored during an organ concert. You can read more about the instrument and its capabilities online [3].
Last month was the first time, however, that I got to attend a local chapter of the AMICA. In a lot of cases, one of the downsides of collecting the older paper-driven instruments is that the paper, which is sometimes made with an acid-based wash, is falling apart, and some of the members are trying desperately to preserve this old music by copying the rolls or by capturing the information into MIDI files or MPEG-3 files. These people then put these files – songs recorded on rolls by companies that have long gone out of business – up on the Internet for others to share. I decided I had a lot of songs in my collection that I could put on the Internet for people to hear the sound of my instruments playing. As a free software person and a follower of the issues around copyright, I would use a melody that was long out of copyright, such as "Greensleeves." But something in the back of my mind began to nag me, so I contacted a company that still manufactures player piano rolls and asked to talk to their legal department.
I explained to the man who answered the phone what I wanted to do and that I could be sure to use a song that was an ancient melody that had to be out of copyright by now, and I only wanted to do a few songs, perhaps "Greensleeves" and a ragtime melody that used a mechanism in my piano called the "mandolin." The man replied that Greensleeves was out of copyright, but that the artist's rendition of my Greensleeves roll might not be. He said that the rendition of Greensleeves had been put onto a roll of paper, and that too included a copyright, so other player piano roll manufacturers would not just buy the roll, copy it, and sell it to other player piano owners.
Then the man mentioned the "Phonorecord" copyright act, which to me has always been as clear as mud and also made this issue of rescuing an ancient song cut into rapidly decomposing paper even foggier.
We ended up agreeing that if I made an MP3 recording of less than 30 seconds off an old roll from a company that was completely out of business, kept it completely for my own use and locked up so no one else could hear it, that I probably would not be sued. I thanked him for his time.
Of course, now I have stopped singing "Greensleeves," even when alone in the shower.

Human Resources: Benefits
HR Home | Equity and Diversity | Payroll Office | Employment | Compensation | Benefits | Training | Resources | Forms | Contact Us | Site Map |
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985 is a Federal law that requires most employers sponsoring Health Care plans to offer employees and their dependents the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage under the employer's plan in instances where coverage under the plan might otherwise end.
If you are a BGSU employee covered by the University's Health Care Program, you have a right to choose continued coverage if you lose your health coverage because of a change in your classification or termination of employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct).
If you are the spouse of an employee covered by the Health Care Program, you have a right to choose continued coverage for yourself if you lose health coverage under the Program due to the following qualifying events:
The death of your spouse;
A termination of your spouse's employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct) or reduction in your spouse's hours of employment;
Divorce or legal separation from your spouse; or
Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare.
In the case of a dependent child of an employee covered by the Health Care Program, he/she has the right to continuation of coverage if coverage under the Program is lost for any of the following reasons:
The death of an employee-parent;
The termination of parent's employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct) or reduction in a parent's hours of employment;
Parent's divorce or legal separation;
A parent becomes entitled to Medicare; or
The dependent ceases to qualify for coverage as a "dependent child."
Under the law, you or a family member have the responsibility to inform BGSU of a divorce, legal separation or a child losing dependent status under the plan within 60 days of the event happening. If notice is not received within that 60-day period, your dependent will not be entitled to choose continuation of coverage.
When BGSU is notified of one of these events, you will be notified in writing that you have the right to choose continuation coverage. You have 60 days to choose or reject continuation coverage and then an additional 45 days to pay your first premium. It is your responsibility to notify the Benefits Office and provide a current address. You have 60 days from the later of:
The date you would lose coverage; or
The date you receive notice from BGSU of your continuation coverage rights because of one of the events described above.
If you do not choose to continue coverage, your health coverage ends.
If you choose continuation of coverage, BGSU is required to give you coverage which, as of the coverage is provided, is identical to the coverage provided under the Plan to similarly situated employees or family members. You may elect to maintain continuation coverage for three years unless you lose your medical coverage because of termination of employment or reduction in hours. In that case, the required continuation coverage period is 18 months. If during that 18-month period, another event takes place that would also entitle your spouse or dependent child to continuation coverage, the coverage may be extended to a total of 36 months from the original qualifying event. This provision applies to a dependent other than a spouse or child who became covered after continuation coverage became effective. Your spouse or dependent child can elect to continue the coverage for 36 months from the date of the qualifying event due to your becoming entitled to Medicare.
If you or your covered dependent are disabled, as defined under Social Security law, at the time of your termination of employment or reduction in hours, and you provide notice of this finding to the Benefits Office within 18 months of your termination of employment or reduction in hours, you may extend the continuation coverage to a total of 29 months. The additional 11 months of continuation coverage will, however, be at a higher contribution. In no case will any period of continuation coverage be more than 36 months. The law, however, also provides that your continuation coverage may be terminated before the end of the continuation period (i.e., 18, 29, or 36 months) for any of the following reasons:
BGSU no longer provides health coverage to any of its employees;
The contribution for your continuation coverage is not paid in a timely fashion;
You become covered under another plan, unless the new plan excludes coverage for a pre-existing condition which you, your spouse or dependent child has;
You become entitled to Medicare; or
Your disability ends if the disability occurred while covered under COBRA.
You do not have to show that you are in good health to choose continuation coverage. You will, however, have to pay the full contribution amount for your continuation coverage. The contribution for the additional 11 months of coverage, if you are found disabled under the Social Security law, will be 150% of the regular continuation contribution. You have a grace period of at least 45 days to pay any retroactive contribution for the period from the date continuation coverage starts to the date you chose continuation coverage; and you have a grace period of at least 30 days to pay any subsequent premiums.
Please complete the COBRA Notification Form to identify where the COBRA information should be sent. If you have further questions, the Benefits Office has more information on continuing your coverage through COBRA after your benefits under the Plan ends.

Terry Ryan and Ron Gardenhire are patient men.
For more than two years, they've waited for Kyle Lohse to live up to what he did down the stretch in 2003.
It's increasingly difficult to believe it now, but it's true. In August and September of 2003 — in the one real pennant race the Twins experienced during their run of divisional titles — Lohse went 8-2 with a 3.67 ERA, striking out 37 men while walking just 15.
That winter the Twins let Kenny Rogers walk and dealt away Eric Milton — and still felt confident in their starting pitching, because they had Johan Santana and Lohse ready to take over the front of the rotation.
Santana did so; Lohse did not.
At best, Lohse has been a mediocre, if well-paid, back-of-the-rotation innings-eater. Right now, he's worse.
Friday's gopher-ball parade left Lohse with a 9.71 ERA for the season. His batting average allowed is .346. That's two points higher than Ted Williams' lifetime average. He's walked almost as many as he's struck out.
As a fan of the Twins and student of the game, I've pulled the plug. I've declared a personal Kyle Lohse boycott. I will no longer journey to the Dome for a Lohse start.
I've done this before. Last year it was Joe Mays. In 2003, Rick Reed. In both cases, each was out of the rotation within a week or so.
Ryan and Gardenhire have their limits also, and history suggests their limits are fairly close to mine.
Logic suggests that their patience will continue.
Why would they stick with him?
The answer may lie in a different question: If the Twins pull Lohse from the rotation this week, what do they do with him?
He would be an awfully pricey long reliever. And as such, he's not likely to fetch much in a trade.
At some point this season, the Twins will insert Francisco Liriano into the rotation. They'd prefer that it be later than sooner, both to protect his arm and to limit his eventual value in arbitration.
The Twins probably could have traded Lohse during the winter, but chose not to. Remember, at the end of the 2005 season Brad Radke had a bad shoulder. Carlos Silva had knee surgery. Santana was held out of his last start with an injury. The Twins rotation literally limped through the final two weeks.
Ryan, Gardy and company hung on to Lohse probably as much as insurance as because of the promise of 2003. They clearly didn't want to open the season with two rookies in the starting rotation, and keeping Lohse meant having four established starters. That's important to their vision of a contending team.
But 30 games into the season, this team is far from a contender. Another month or so of this sloppy play, and Ryan's going to have to start exploding the roster — shipping out veterans and bringing in kids.
When that day comes, Lohse is a prime candidate to go — if he has any value. That value won't be there if he's bounced from the rotation.
Of course, if he keeps making the rest of the league hit like Ted Williams, he won't have any trade value in the rotation either.

118 thoughts on "Advice from a Mom to Her Daughter"
aubiebobie says:
I have a daughter and these pieces of advice really resonate with me. So excited to share the wisdom.
Sarah Bryden-Brown says:
I will share these with my daughter over a slow cooked pot of lamb shanks and lentils to make up for canceling her facebook page and banning her from going to Halloween as a gangster.
Anonymous says:
Loved this! So simple but so brilliant. Will share this with my daughter. Thank you!
Katy Bowman says:
I loved this, it's beautiful and full of wonderful lessons, but I have to admit that it irks me a little that this is framed as a list of lessons for daughters (I realize that this is where the author got the idea for the list, and it really is a wonderful idea – I'm not criticizing that or the contents). These are certainly things that I would want to share with my daughter, but I think they would be important to share with my son as well (and I will).
Stephanie Statham says:
This is beautiful and important. Thank you for sharing this.
Andrea Zimmerman says:
This is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Rosana says:
So beautiful it made me cry. That is advice that any parent should hope to give their kid regardless of the gender.
And those are the words of a human being that has sucked in all the wisdom that only growing up can provide. -
Anna says:
This was beautiful. Not just touching and important advice for a child, but for all of us! If we followed even a handful of these, the world would be an even lovelier place. (I especially liked 18)
Beth Duschatko Sabol says:
I loved all of these & agree that I need to make sure I do these things too. It is so important that our daughters know it's OK to be strong, opinionated and smart. I want my girls to know that people will disappoint you, your heart will get broken- but if you keep on moving, things will get better. Let people surprise you & they just may…
Ruth Johnson Valiante says:
My advise: Learning what it means to BE a good friend is much more valuable than learning how to attract a host of friends through life. The friendships you develop by BEING a true friend will last forever.
Amanda Strama says:
I will teach my daughter to be strong and self-sufficient…But I will also teach her to trust and confide, to be loyal and trustworthy. I will teach her love and sweetness, alongside of sass and righteousness. I will teach her to sit like a lady, and climb a tree like a tom-girl. I will teach her to cook and make her way in the world. I will teach her how to be a wife and mother. I will teach all of these things, but the real beauty is what she will teach me…
Karen Turner says:
I teach my daughter respect, respect for herself, respect for her family and friends but also that her friends return the respect for her.
B Smith says:
Don't let what others think of you, bother you (or at least try not to let it bother you). Especially in high school, when you go to your reunions and you see just how awesome you were and how awesome you are doing now, you will know it just did not matter. It's what YOU think of you that really matters.
Emily Gagiu Arturo says:
I just want her to be happy. Sometimes the knowledge you pick up along the way as you grow older tends to bog you down, makes you lose sleep, and makes you worry, but "make the best of what you've got", or, as I like to say it plain and simple: be happy; it's a lot easier than you think
Carrie Beth Cotton says:
I will be telling my daughter that no matter where she comes from or what trials she goes through, she will always be able to make her dreams come true as long as she is willing to do the work!
Lea Davis Roark says:
this is gorgeous–really gorgeous! i'd like to think i'm trying to teach my little girls these things already. it's hard, though, isn't it? sometimes you're just trying to get backpacks unpacked, dinner on the table, baths done….
i would add two things. learn to see and feel joy from nature around you. sense and appreciate the way the sun warms the grass and makes it smell so good…the way that butterfly just flew past you…the way the birds can perch on that wire above you. let that fill you with joy. those are tiny gifts.
also…read, read, read! it helps develop your sense of empathy, which is essential to being kind to others without losing your self.
Whitney Archer says:
My advice is live big! whitney dot archer at gmail dot com
Sarah Adams says:
If you make it a habit to say, "Oh, well" when things don't go as planned, we are better able to keep a good perspective on the small things that won't matter, and continue forward. Embrace mistakes with grace, as part of the learning process, instead of beating ourselves down when we fail to meet the mark of perfection.
Krystal Lee says:
loved this article on 23 things, and I plan to purchase the book for myself (having a baby girl in January) and a friend (having a baby girl in February) I agree with the "live on your own" advice, at least for a little while, as it really helped me get to know myself better and what I want out of life!
Laura Diaz Abellan says:
Love the article. I'd tell my daughters to be independent and to love themselves. L
Sarah Olivier Isenberg says:
Great advice! My best advice so far to my daughter is "sometimes being responsible is not so much fun."
Karen Moden says:
So beautiful! I hope to teach my girls to believe in and stay true to themselves.
Avery Haycock Pince says:
This is so amazingly wonderful. I tell my daughter and son (and myself, and friends) that you can't love someone else without loving yourself first.
Ira Khaykin says:
This is greater than great and really motherly, but such earthful & wise advice! I agree with so many. Some, of the advise given, I have experienced from others over this past year. Than some I also noticed as the negatives & positivs in my grown self. Sadly in reality of life I at times was thought gullible, or silt, or naive. Having read that, I learned that I have character, values, and nit to doubt that I have morals or good qualities to my self that are more important than a highly payable profession which I don't have, or money. I saw that it covered advice where I did make mistakes in my own life. This is so wonderful of a book. I even experienced the after affects of other people who have touched my life, in similar ways she us explaing to her daughter. This is quite moving! There should be a book for sisters of this sort – one that relates on getting along & understanding not all are created equal, but… I posted onFB page the rest of why and for whom I'd Ike to win this book. I have an infant son, but my sisters daughter is a out to turn 1. I think this would make a meaningful gift to mysister & eventually will benefit my niece. For now she'll be getting toys & scarf she can touch. My sister & I had a rough year due toast life changing hard event in my life & a different opinion on it's resolution. May this will serve as a mending stepping stone & will even help her to understand me a bit better. Thank you! I hope I have a chance:).
Anne Daigler says:
est advice? Treat others as you would be treated, or love all others – there's so much to appreciate and learn from others. My mom taught me so much about love and compassion, and I can only hope I can relay those teachings to my daughter as well.
starrayhill says:
Be strong, you can be anything you want to be, just believe in yourself!
Melanie Rodeffer says:
My little sweetheart, you will always be a part of our family but there will come a day when you will have your own family. The one constant will be you. Remember to stay strong and follow YOUR path. The rest will fall in line.
Tawn K. Makela says:
Great read! My advice: It's always better to learn from someone else's mistakes than your own, so listen before you leap. And if you decide to take the leap anyway, do it without regrets. Our choices make us who we are.
Roberta Garro says:
Best advices ever, some of them are simple they're almost magical
Greetings from Costa Rica -
Maribel Hannigan says:
Great book! My advice to my daughters: Learn to sew. Even if it's just a button or a hem, the ability to sew will come in handy throughout your life.
Erica Saxon Coker says:
The world is at your fingertips! Travel, see places, meet people. Don't let fear of the unknown keep you from traveling outside your comfort zone, or area.
This book is priceless. Now, one for boys please -

I think more than anything I want my daughters to know themselves and serve others. I think we learn about who we are by serving and caring for others. I want them to be compassionate and realize how blessed they have been and to show others the blessings that can come from love and kindness.

Melanie Shovelski says:
Don't worry beyond the walls of your home
Meghan 'Lynch' Olsonoski says:
Best advice I can give to my daughter: Never feel embarassed about being smart. It is a gift. Don't ever let anyone put you down because you're smart, and don't hide your intelligence or abilities just to "fit in" with certain people.
Attia Zaidi says:
my advice for my daughter-know your own self and let everyone come to know the real you, not the 'you' that you think they want you to be. those who are worth it, will love you for you and your authenticity .
Lauren Schwabish says:
Keep a book to jot down little ideas, no matter if silly or grandiose. Don't worry about how often to write nor how formal the words should be. Keep it somewhere practical, like the kitchen or the bathroom. It's a great way to get to know yourself and track the special tidbits that can otherwise get lost in the craziness of life.
Natalia Rose says:
When it is right, it feels right – there are no ifs, buts or excepts
Rosanne says:
Just received my copy of the book in the mail yesterday and I love it as much as I thought I would.
I always tell my kids that everyone makes mistakes. It is what you do about the mistake that makes the difference. And, that includes giving others a chance to own up to and fix their mistakes as well. -
Frances J Chelf says:
I really enjoyed reading these. Something that I can share with my little girl. She's 11 months old.

Advice to my daughter is you are Perfectly and Wonderfully made…God makes no mistakes.
Jennifer Diamond Doll says:
I thought this was so cute! I can't wait to meet my daughter in Dec. 2010!! Only 2 more months preggo! I hope to raise her to be her own person and to be strong and stand up for what is right!
mamamama says:
By best advice to choose your battles, find something positive in everyday you are alive, and try to be accepting of others.
Paige Roberts Wolsey says:
Your kids feed off of your mood. If you want your kid to relax and be happy you have to do the same. I found if I responded with anger I got it right back
Tonya Lynn Bridges says:
Take lots of pictures – It helps to remember the otherwise unmemorable times
Sarah Benton Burke says:
When I ran my first marathon last weekend, someone told me to high five a kid every mile… to make sure I was having fun along the way. I think that's actually a pretty good strategy for life too- high five a kid, smile at a stranger, send a letter to your grandmother or tickle your husband as he walks by. Don't get caught up in life and forget to enjoy living.
Anonymous says:
Keep your child like wonder. If you're 72 with a face full of wrinkles but you can be in total awe over an ice cream cone, everyone will forgot your years on earth..especially you.
Mindee Mills Haas says:
I love this one, because as a full time professional and mother to a toddler, its quite difficult: Be where you are.
Try not to think about where you need to go next or wherever you just came from. This is more difficult than it sounds, but work at it. Its important for your head to be present in the place where your body is.
Anonymous says:
This book looks great! I always told my kids, a wonderful saying from the "Bambi" movie: "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all". Words to live by!
nataliejo92 says:
Don't wait till your rich to have kids, or you may never have them. Don't wait till timing is just right, or you may never have them. When your heart is ready- just go for it and have lots of fun going for it
Alex Jenner says:
I love the Prudent Baby blog! My best piece of advice for my daughter: Don't do something you're not comfortable with just to impress a boy. Learned that one the hard way!
jennchristensen81 says:
my advice to my daughter is that you can't love anyone else until you truly love yourself. find out who you really are and only then will you know who the right man is when he comes along.
This book is amazing! You've done a really great job. -
Eli Poist says:
This advice while great for a girl is equally useful for a boy. My favorite advice on parenting actually came from my son. "Mama, wait for me and listen." He is always busy investigating the world around him or looking at something new. I am usually trying to get us from point a to point b in a relatively normal amount of time. He reminds me this is a unique point in time to wait and listen. When I do I'm always amazed with his insight.
Danielle Smith says:
I look forward to sharing a quote from Steve Jobs with our little girl… "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."
For me, my "great work" turned out to be motherhood.
MDV112 says:
Wow is all I have to say! I love this! I don't know that there's much I can add to it, but I guess I'd tell her to be herself, to sing and dance whenever she feels like it, to express herself and not keep anything in.
Dahlea says:
Your family does not always end up being the one you were born to.
Karen says:
My advice: never say, "I can't do it." If there is something you want to do, you will find a way. If not, it must not be that important.
Danielle Hale Boyer says:
This is one of my favorite quotes: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss
I want my children to be who they want to be instead of trying to impress people and trying to be accepted. Those that really matter will like you for who you are! -
Courtney McMahan Parks says:
When I taught 1st grade, I would tell my students, "You don't have to be best friends, but you have to be friendly." I think this is true in adult lives too.
Rani Shah says:
My mama always told my brother and I in her lovely Indian accent, always have goals, and strive hard to get them…if it changes, it's ok, but never stop reaching-that is the best part of the journey!
Liz Gieseke Mouse says:
Advice from my Grandmother that I'll remembered to share with my two little daughters: "Two is polite." Good manners are never old fashioned.
Kim says:
Say "Yes" whenever possible…there are plenty of times when you have to say "No"!
Marissa A. Henry says:
I will tell my daughter that she can do anything! She can set amazing goals and reach them!
Multitaskmumma says:
This really made me think about what I wanted to teach my daughter and letters I had intended to write her over the years. She's 6 months old now and I already have so much to tell her! This is a great starting point!

Be excited in others. It is so easy to find our worlds narrow down to our own small problems and concerns. I find that when I pay attention and invest in the joy and excitement of others my life expands and fills beyond my greatest expectations.

I love living with you and your father; I also cherish the years I spent living alone. You shouldn't go from being someone's daughter to someone's wife to someone's mother without first being someone yourself. Living alone will allow you to discover who you are when no one is watching, what you need to get through a day, and ultimately that you are a capable, independent woman.
I even gave my husband (then boyfriend) the same advice before I would marry him.

I always tell my kids to not worry about what we are doing later, or what they have to get done, just enjoy your day. As parents we struggle as well but sometimes it's more important to leave the dirty house for a day to be present with the kids. Laundry will wait, but kids grow up more every day!

Wow these are fantastic points! I love the advice. I especially like #14 because you can tell when someone is only being polite and waiting for you to finish, only to talk about themselves.

Thanks for the list!

Nov 7 2012 by Nick Hilton, Birkenhead News
TRANMERE have begun the search to find a replacement for the hottest marksman in League One
Jake Cassidy, the teenage striker with 10 goals to his name already this season, will be going back to Wolverhampton Wanderers when his current loan term with Rovers comes to an end at the turn of the year.
Wolves are keen to see for themselves if Cassidy can be effective at Championship level after developing impressively as a front man in the early months of the season at Prenton Park.
Tranmere manager Ronnie Moore has been told that should Wolves decide Cassidy would be best served by another spell out on loan, then he will be given first refusal on the player. Arrangements for a second loan spell with Rovers could be put in place before the close of the January transfer window.
However, Moore says he must plan for the possibility that Cassidy will be asked to stay at Molineux and won't be available in the second half of Tranmere's League One campaign.
Moore said: "Jake is due to go back to Molineux in early January because Wolves want to have a look at him, to see if he can progress with them. If they decide to let him out on loan again, we will have the first option on him.
"Wolves will be having a look at him, probably for a fortnight. If they want to keep him then we have to go fishing to find another striker. By the time Christmas comes Jake might have scored 15 goals for us, so replacing a player like that will be very difficult.
"It's going to be down to David Philpotts, the chief scout here, the staff and myself to try and find a replacement. We've got to be looking now. We can't wait until January.
"Jake has said to me that he does not want to go back and be on the bench for Wolves, or play reserve team football down there and I'm sure Wolves would not do that."
Moore said he believed Cassidy would benefit from returning to Prenton Park for the second half of the season. "By the time he finished the season with us, Jake is not going to be far off being a really good Championship player," Moore said.
Wolves have told Tranmere they cannot use Cassidy in FA Cup ties. Sheffield Wednesday made the same stipulation over midfielder Liam Palmer, whose loan to Rovers is also due to end in early January.
However, Middlesbrough are prepared to allow centre-back Ben Gibson, whose loan also runs until early January, to play in the FA Cup.
Tranmere are to make a second attempt to play their first round tie at Braintree Town next Tuesday (November 13) after the original fixture on Sunday was called off because of waterlogging to the pitch at Cressing Road.
The postponement won't be as expensive as at first feared. The rearranged game will be televised live by ITV4, so the clubs won't lose out on a broadcast fee worth just under £64,000.
Rovers return to League One action with two away fixtures this week, at Hartlepool United on Wednesday (7.45pm) and Oldham Athletic on Saturday (3pm).
Jake Jervis, a striker on loan from Birmingham City, could be in line for a return to action at Hartlepool after missing two games through injury. He was unavailable for the Braintree game because Birmingham did not want him to be cup tied. However, another loan striker, Nathan Eccleston, is back with parent club Blackpool for treatment to a hamstring strain.
The injury may keep Ecclestone out of action for between two to four weeks. The 21-year-old has played just one game for Tranmere, the 1-1 draw with Preston.
Ecclestone may not play another game for Tranmere before his loan runs out but the League One team will still be liable to pay the player's wages for the full month.
Moore said: "Even if Nathan is back in Blackpool under treatment, we still have to pay the bill. It does nothing to help the budget."

On November 6th, North Kingstown voters will decide on four amendments to the town charter. As a member of this yearãs charter revision commission, let me explain the rationale for these changes. The first question deals with limiting the terms of appointed members of boards, commissions and committees to 12 consecutive years, after which the citizen would have to take two years off before being reappointed. However, if the person has special qualifications the town council may reappoint him or her by unanimous vote. For example, this might apply to the planning board or audit committee.

On Tuesday, voters will head to the polls to cast their ballots in this yearãs presidential election. In addition to selecting a round of political leaders, they will have the opportunity to voice their opinion on several state and town issues. North Kingstown voters have four local questions that concern amendments to the North Kingstown Home Rule Charter following the seven state questions on their ballot. One local question accompanies the state measures on the Exeter ballot.

Rhode Islandãs 2nd Congressional District finds incumbent James R. Langevin facing off against his Republican challenger, Michael Riley, founder of a Rhode Island-based investment firm.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ã Novemberãs ballot for Town Council is veritable proof of Democracy in action with a slate of fourteen candidates vying for a seat on the five-member council. The cast of characters includes only three incumbents, all having served multiple terms in office. Council President, Elizabeth (Liz) Dolan (R.), seeking her fourth term at the helm, previously served on the Townãs Planning and Charter Review commissions. An endorsed candidate, Dolan is a member of the Rhode Island Federation of Republican Women (RIFRW).

Exeterãs emergency preparedness Stefan Coutoulakis is crediting the lessons of Tropical Storm Irene with his communityãs willingness to thoroughly prepare for Hurricane Sandy. ãThere was heightened awareness,ã he says. ãIrene brought it to light. Nobody knew how to prepare or what to be aware of.ã For this storm, as Coutoulakis constantly updated residents of Sandyãs approach and directed them to the availability of local services, residents seemed to follow his recommendations.
A North Kingstown Department of Public Works employee narrowly escaped serious injury when the vehicle heãd driven to the scene of a downed tree was crushed by another falling tree. A Jamestown woman, who couldnãt reach a neighborhood near Mackerel Cove because police had the road blocked, drove as far as she could and parked. When she returned she found that surging water had crossed the road, sweeping her car into Sheffield Cove.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, one question remains in communities up and down the east coast: How bad is the damage? In this week's Standard-Times, we bring you an in-depth look at the local impact of the storm which, while severe, left both North Kingstown and Exeter in relatively good shape. In addition, we have wall-to-wall coverage of Tuesday's election, complete with full 'Meet the Candidate' profiles in all the major, contested races.

Found December 14, 2012 on
Fox Sports West:
WASHINGTON Pau Gasol will not play tonight against the Washington Wizards, missing his seventh consecutive game because of knee tendinitis.
The Lakers are 1-5 without Gasol, who is averaging 12.6 points and shooting 42.
Gasol hasn't talked to reporters in several days, briefly telling The Times on Tuesday that his ailing knees remain "an enigma."
The Lakers (9-14) have lost six of their last seven games, including a 116-107 defeat Thursday at New York.
Washington (3-16) hasn't done much damage this season, though the Wizards beat Miami earlier this month.
The Lakers lost to a similarly bad Cleveland team Tuesday, 100-94.
They complete a four-game trip Sunday at Philadelphia. Gasol's status is questionable at best for that game.
Itching for Nash
Now more than ever, the eyes of Lakers followers turn to Steve Nash.
He missed his 21st game Thursday but offered a ray of hope in a wildly overcast season.
He said he would "hopefully" start practicing next week.
"I'm definitely getting better," said Nash, who started running and progressively increased his shooting workouts. "If I continue to improve and there's no setbacks, then I should be able to practice next week."
Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni was optimistic enough to say there were "flickers at the end of the tunnel."
"We're getting closer," he said.
The Lakers have three games next week: Sunday at Philadelphia, Tuesday at home against Charlotte and Dec. 22 at Golden State. Nash has said all along he would need a practice or two to get a feel for the game he has missed since being kneed in the leg by Portland guard Damian Lillard on Oct. 31.
It was unclear whether the Lakers would practice Monday after flying home late Sunday from Philadelphia. After Tuesday's game, however, there are three possible days of practice before they play Golden State.
Nash has been sidelined because of a fracture in his lower left leg.
Losers of six of their last seven, the Lakers could use him sooner rather than later.
"We're treading water," Nash said, adding that the Lakers were "losing ground."
He notices the stagnant nature of the offense, not to mention the rampant turnovers, but doesn't want to take credit before even checking into a game.
"If I come back and we take off, by no means am I the savior," he said.
Nash hasn't missed this many games in a row since sitting out 22 in 1999 because of an ankle injury.

Picture quality
11 of 11 from See the Toshiba 32C120U (pictures)
I was frankly surprised how good the Toshiba's picture looked for a TV this inexpensive. Its black levels were the deepest among cheap 32-inch TVs we've tested, beating out those of the former champ, Samsung's EH4000, by a substantial margin. Its color accuracy is flat-out poor, however, so the Samsung is still our overall choice in this category. That said, the Toshiba earns the same 6 in Picture Quality we awarded the Samsung, largely on the strength of its other picture-quality virtues like shadow detail and bright-room performance.
