He was renowned as the ultimate competitor as a player and watching his team fail to compete as a coach is hard. Parramatta coach Ricky Stuart found it hard coming to terms with the fact his team conceded 40 points two weeks in a row, lamenting the high toll of individual errors he says are proving costly.
The NRL strugglers succumbed to their 10th straight loss after going down to the Sea Eagles 40-6 at home, but Stuart believes the match could have been more of a contest if it wasn't for player errors.
The Eels matched Manly in the early stages of the game with a more creative style of play than in previous games, but couldn't cross the line for 70 minutes when the result was already decided. On two occasions in the first half, they came close to scoring only to allow Manly to score two tries on the resulting sets.
''Our efforts were there but some individual errors compounded into a whole weight of possession going Manly's way and you can't afford to do that with the type of team they've got,'' Stuart said. ''It should've at least been six-all at half-time, we could've been ahead at half-time.''
Parramatta thought they had drawn level midway through the first half when they scored near the right touchline only for the referee to deny them a try in order to award them a penalty due to an earlier infringement in the play-the-ball.
Matt Keating was pushed while playing the ball and Stuart was fuming that not only was his team denied the right to play the advantage, but also the assailant was not punished with 10 minutes in the sin bin.
''Why wasn't he sent to the bin? The bloke who pushed Keating at the play-the-ball, why wasn't he sent to the bin, because it was going to be a try for all money,'' Stuart said. ''It happened to us against the Cowboys when JT [Johnathan Thurston] laid all over Jarryd Hayne, wouldn't let him play the ball but he didn't get sent to the bin. But, over the last three or four weeks, I've seen two or three players sent to the bin. You've just got to hope that it's your lucky night.''
Meanwhile, there's a mantra that a title is built from a tough defence and it was little surprise to see Manly coach Geoff Toovey praising his team's efforts without the ball despite scoring seven tries. ''More pleased with our defence tonight, they threw a lot at us particularly early. Bit disappointed that they snuck over for a try at the end but I think overall our defence was the most pleasing thing,'' Toovey said.
Manly stay third for at least another week and have firmed as potential challengers for the title this season. While Toovey was coy about his club's chances of toppling the Rabbitohs and Roosters, he believes the stability of his squad has provided a healthy backbone for the finals.
''It makes a hell of a difference when you've got a consistent team. Week-in, week-out, they get to work those combinations … that's what we've had over the last month so touch wood that it continues.''

NON-urgent appointments and operations at the Royal Bolton Hospital are set to be cancelled after doctors said they would stage a 24-hour walkout.
Medics will take industrial action on Thursday, June 21, in protest at the Government's controversial pension reforms.
The British Medical Association said it was taking action "very reluctantly" but attacked the Government for going back on a deal on pensions agreed four years ago.
The move followed a big vote in favour of action by doctors.
The BMA said doctors will see anyone who is ill, or who believes they are ill, on the day of action, but will not do paperwork.
Heather Edwards, head of communications at the Royal Bolton, said: "The results of the BMA ballot have only just been announced and we will now look at the local implications.
We will issue information to patients once that is clearer."
GP bosses also stressed people who needed emergency care would be treated.
A Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group spokesman said: "Our first priority is to understand how many GP surgeries in Bolton will be affected, so we can consider the potential impact.
"However, patients should be reassured that anyone requiring urgent or emergency care will not be turned away, and we will be asking surgeries to ensure they have extra capacity in the days following June 21 to see patients who cannot be seen during the industrial action."
Doctors say they feel "let down" by the Government's refusal to budge on pension changes.
Dr Hamish Meldrum, the BMA's chairman of council, said: "This clear mandate for action reflects just how let down doctors feel by the Government's unwillingness to find a fairer approach to the latest pension changes.
"Non-urgent work will be postponed and, although this will be disruptive to the NHS, doctors will ensure patient safety is protected. All urgent and emergency care will be provided and we will work closely with managers so that anyone whose care is going to be affected can be given as much notice as possible."

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

"Useful and pleasant"
Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate.

"Life changing..."
The Antidote is a series of journeys among people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life.

Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

New York (AFP) Dec 29, 2011
Amazon said Thursday that it sold more than one million Kindles a week in December with the new Kindle Fire tablet computer its top-selling item.
"2011 was the best holiday ever for the Kindle family as customers purchased millions of Kindle Fires and millions of Kindle e-readers," the Seattle-based online retail giant said in a statement.
Amazon said the Kindle Fire has been the "number one best-selling, most gifted, and most wished for product" on Amazon.com since it went on sale 13 weeks ago.
Besides the Kindle Fire, Amazon offers a range of Kindle electronic book readers.
Amazon said it sold "well over" one million Kindle devices per week in December with the Kindle Touch and basic Kindle taking the top two spots after the Fire.
Amazon said the Kindle is its best-selling item in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain in addition to the United States.
The company said "gifting" of Kindle books between November 25 and Christmas Day rose 175 percent compared to the holiday period last year with Christmas Day the biggest day ever for Kindle book downloads.
Despite the rosy sales numbers for the gadgets, Amazon shares were trading lower on Wall Street on Thursday after Goldman Sachs said in a research note that the online titan may fall short of fourth-quarter earnings expectations.
Goldman Sachs noted that according to industry tracker comScore, US online spending for the first 56 days of the November-December holiday season rose 15 percent over the same period last year to $35.3 billion.
"On average, Amazon's year-over-year sales growth in the fourth quarter has outpaced holiday season eCommerce by 23 points," Goldman Sachs said.
"As such, the comScore data released today would imply top line growth of 38 percent year-over-year to $17.87 billion, slightly below current consensus of $18.19 billion, up 40 percent year-over-year," it said.
Amazon shares were down 1.49 percent at $171.30 at mid-day on Wall Street.
The Kindle Fire costs $199, less than half the price of the cheapest iPad from tablet market leader Apple.
It has a seven-inch (17.78-centimeter) screen, smaller than the iPad's 9.7 inches, connects to the Web using Wi-Fi and is powered by Google's Android software.
It does not have a camera or the 3G connectivity featured on other tablets but it gives buyers easy access to Amazon's online store, which sells books, music, movies, television shows, games and other content.

Rihanna Concert Ends Early Due to Stage Fire (VIDEO)
A video posted on YouTube shows a fire burning at the top of the stage at the American Airlines Center, with some sparks falling toward the floor. Concertgoers had to be evacuated. After the show, the pop star posted several messages on Twitter following the incident.
"DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I'm so (mad), I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!"
Fans were forced to leave the venue, even though her set was cut short. According to Idolator, "Rihanna performed a fair amount of her hits at the show in Big D — including "Only Girl (In The World)," "S&M," "Shut Up And Drive" and "Disturbia" — before the mishap. But unfortunately, there were still a handful of her staples she didn't get to, such as "Umbrella," "What's My Name," "Rude Boy" and "SOS.""
No word on what exactly went wrong, but Rihanna assured fans that her other concert dates would be on schedule. Although some fans have already asked for refunds, it's thought that the "S&M" star will return at the next available date to do the show from scratch.

Slipstream in the Tour
The 2008 Tour de France will have two American teams. Slipstream Chipolte was added to the 20 team roster. However, it was confirmed that Astana will not be invited.
Slipstream's entrance comes as a surprise to me. I thought with this past week's poor performance at Paris-Nice the US squad would be out of consideration. ASO likes the team's anti-doping policy and thinks they could animate the race. French team Agruibel and Great Britain's Barloworld got the other two invites. It's great to see Barloworld back in the mix after a great tour last year. Soler won the King of the Mountains and a mountain stage. While Robbie Hunter grabbed a technical sprinting stage. I think the Agruibel decision is questionable. Mercardo grabbed a stage two years ago, but other then that the squad has been lack luster. They were included this season because they signed Christoph Moreau the French National Champion. I'd like to see Tinkoff Credit Systems get the nod. They have a great attacking squad. They lit up the Giro last year and deserve a shot at the tour. They animate races and with the addition of Loddo they have a decent sprinter.

Feared Rider Poll Ends in a Tie
Thanks to ya'll who voted. This year's pre-season Most Feared Riders are Scott Herzig and Josh Tack each taking 30% of the vote. Kiefer Hahn took 13%, Brad Morgan 10%, Frank Gonzalez 6%, Matt Seeley 6%, and Ben Parsons 1%. We'll run the poll again mid-season and then post season.

Missoula Training Race
Next Saturday is the unofficial kick off for the Montana Road Season. The Montana Junior Cycling Federation is hosting back to back race weekends. Starting this Saturday the 22nd, racing will begin @12. The race starts at the Clinton exit. Registration will be from 10-11 at Missoula Bicycle Works. The first Saturday will be 32 miles (4 laps), and the second Saturday will be 40 miles (4 laps). This is a great event for first time racers. If you are curious about racing you should definetly come out. MT Cross will provide full race reports for each category (to the best of my knowledge :)). Hope to see everyone out.
This week's poll has been interesting. Scotty Herzig is holding a good lead with 30% of the votes, but Josh Tack is making a late surge with 23% of the votes. Kiefer Hahn, Matt Seeley, and Brad Morgan all have 11% of the votes and Frank Gonzalez has 7%. I think the poll is accurate. Scott is a great rider and has consistently performed at a high level year after year. I was surprised to see my teamate jtack get some votes this late in the poll. Maybe it was the brief show of his climbing ability in Saturday's group ride?? Another thing I noticed was that the top riders are all from different teams. GAS, MT Velo, NRO, and FVV all have dudes in the top 5. That should provide for good racing this season. Thanks everyone for voting. One more day left. Keep your eyes open for this week's poll.

About Drakkcon
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote:Original post by Codeka I would say it's because class names are for more than just registering your own class. There's also the "well-known" class names such as "BUTTON", "EDIT", "LISTBOX", etc. They need to be strings so that you can refer to them in external files (like dialog templates). That's my guess anyway. Yeah, I guess you're right, that's a good reason for their existence.
Drakkcon posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingIt seems at odds with the rest of the API. Pretty much everything is based on handles like HWND and HMODULE, so I would expect that RegisterClass(Ex) would return an HCLASS. The ATOM behaves like a handle, but I still have to generate a string in my win32 wrapper. When I wasn't using a wrapper and was just using the naked SDK I usually ended up just using global constants anyway. So does anyone know?
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingAlright cool, and each code unit in UTF-8 is a byte so I can be like: stream.write(str.data(), str.size()); and it'll work right. Thanks everyone, for your help. Edit: and by work right I mean it will copy the entire buffer through the stream without clipping it off if there are multi-byte characters.
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote: The short of it is: Unicode in C++ is a mess. size() and length() will get you the number of code units in the string, not the number of code points. This is because neither std::string nor std::wstring know which encoding is being used. Oh, so size() and length() are the length of the buffer? Awesome, that's what I was hoping (although I can see how it would suck if you actually wanted to iterate over each character). Quote: I typically go with the old stand by of ofstream << string, but maybe that is just me. Does this work with binary streams? If so I will use it. Thanks a lot both of you!
Drakkcon posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI'm using std::string in my project, and I have selected "Unicode" as my character set in visual studio, which I assume means UTF-8. Now, I want to just be able to do this: stream.write(string.data(), string.size()); But looking at documentation about string has made me uneasy, since every reference I have found states that size() is the same as length() and gives you the number of characters in the string. However, in the case of most strings containing non-ascii characters, the size of the buffer is different from the number of characters. How do I get the size of the actual buffer? If there is no way, how does one save a unicode string to a file in c++?
Drakkcon replied to emccaughan's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingOh, check this out too: Buzz Machines
Drakkcon replied to emccaughan's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI was having a similar problem as you, basically I ended up having to synthesize on my own! Yes, MIDI only describes synthesizer instructions, and requires a synth be present to hear anything. Windows has a default (kind of crappy) synth that works okay for what I use it for (listening to video game music), but Linux does not come with one by default and the user will have to map a soundfont and do a bunch of other stuff. The windows synthesizer is just a big .dll that gets loaded if you need it, and it's proprietary. As you mentioned, soundfonts are big. Basically, you need to synthesize your own music. I used the SDL api, which just gives you a big audio buffer for you to write in. Start with the simple geometric waves, the easiest is a square wave, to generate a square wave, you do something like this: //this is one second of sound unsigned char* soundbuf = new char[22050]; //assume 8-bit 22,050 samples per second unsigned frequency = 400; //400 times per second, 400hz unsigned distance = 22050 / (frequency * 2); //Half the width of the wave cycle unsigned minPos = 100; //the difference between min and max is the amplitude unsigned maxPos = 200; //which determines how loud it is, use the full range //at your own risk for (int i =0; i < 22050; i++) { for (int j = i, k = i + distance; j < k; j++, i++) soundbuf[i] = minPos; for (int j = i, k = i + distance; j < k; j++, i++) soundbuf[i] = maxPos; } //now play the square wave playSoundBuf(soundbuf); //not any API that I know of, but you get the idea Sawtooth wave and triangle wave are the other basic geometric waves. You create complicated instruments through various processes, but the easiest is probably subtractive synthesis: ' Wikipedia Article on Subtractive Synthesis Which basically involves starting with a geometric wave and running low-pass filters over it until it sounds right. If you want to play two notes at the same time, add the waves together and divide by two to correct for the increased volume. Basically you average them. This is all a lot of fun, and you can do really cool things that most game programmers don't know how to do, like make your own file format where instruments are stored as basic waves with filters applied and the actual notes are just instructions to play certain instruments at different frequencies. Edit: Oh yeah, you mentioned languages. Anything that gives you a sound buffer! So pretty much any platform that supports DirectX or SDL. [Edited by - Drakkcon on August 30, 2009 2:10:05 PM]
Drakkcon replied to boolean's topic in GDNet LoungeThat's heartbreaking! It's like your good friend just gave you up, let you down, and just ran away from it all. I hope no one else ever deserts you like this again boolean.
Drakkcon replied to dean nolan's topic in GDNet LoungeDo you mean this? It actually looks quite nice from the screen shots (as an editing tool).
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote: The idea with events is to help with MVC separation. Your button doesn't need to know how to do the task that's associated with it; it only needs know that it controls some object, and to tell that object "hey, I've been clicked!" The object does the rest. In simple systems, you can get away with just having the button call one of the owner's methods. In more complicated systems, this inhibits reuse (in particular, you eventually need a similar looking button to "drive" different kinds of objects in the Model). So for a while you can get away with some kind of signal-and-slot system, or function pointers, or something. But eventually you generally refactor to events. (I'm actually in the middle of refactoring something of that sort to a more event-like system at work. Though it's in Python, so "function pointer" is rather replaced with the moral equivalent.) It avoids having the button need to know about what it's talking to., or even about its conceptual owner. It only needs to know how to construct events and put them in the queue (or perhaps send them to a global Facade object for the model, which handles dispatch). I think I understand what you are saying here, but it's difficult for me to grasp because I have never worked on a large system before. One thing that seems appealing to me is to avoid using a global event manager, instead using an event manager for each subsystem that requires the use of events. I can think of three systems that should use events: input, gui, and game. It makes sense to me for keyboard input to be controlled by events (although I have no idea how you would handle "holding a key down"), gui programming is known for event programming, and many games are scripted with events in mind. But does this defeat the purpose of using an event system? If each subsystem only needs to communicate with itself and some logic (model?) would that defeat the purpose of using events instead of, say, callbacks? Quote: I only wish I were a tenth that organized :( Oh, well. Personally, I have always wondered how people have the motivation to keep project pages and journals going. Quote: First try really hard to put the whole "manager" concept out of your head, TBH. Just create the objects. Do any management that seems to be *necessary*, *when* the need is proven. Okay, this sounds good. I'll just use a manager when it's time instead of designing for it from the beginning.
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote: (EDIT: Careful of order of initialization! And if you have a cyclic dependency, you'll have to use pointers, because references must be initialized, and there's a chicken-and-egg problem with the initialization.) Ooo, I didn't even think of that. Thanks for warning me, I'll try to avoid that. It seems similar to the circular reference problem with shared_ptrs (except dealing with initialization and not freeing). Quote: But you should consider, for each pair of subsystems, if they really need to talk to each other like that. Consider, for example: instead of talking to a SoundManager, construct a Sound object. The Sound object can register itself with a Manager if needed (or simply play with static data of the class), but the calling code needn't know that Manager (or static data) exists. This is how we get object-oriented ;) This is a flaw in my current project right now. The way I originally envisioned it, I would create the individual parts of my engine like middleware (they don't talk to each other), and then create an event system. The components would not be aware of the event system so I would wrap them with manager classes that would expose methods allowing me to create, destroy, and perform special actions with objects, referenced with a string and using std::map. These managers would raise events whenever you did any of these things. This seems like a pretty clunky system now that I look at it (especially the name-based lookup). I'm not really sure how I would do such a thing now. I guess you'd have to make each class event-aware, but then how would you tie in 3rd-party libraries to your engine? I was reading the book "Game Coding Complete" and Mike McShaffrey recommends strongly that you do event based programming, but I really don't see what the benefits are. Anyway thanks for all your advice on my code, and also advice you've given to me in the past. Do you have a website for all the coding you do? They say "don't read source code" but I get the feeling that reading yours would be pretty educational =)
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote: Er, how exactly is that? Do you just create a local Game instance in main() or something? Yes, actually: int main(int, char**) { Game game; game.Run(); return 0; }
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingQuote: that is being handed out to any thing that wishes to use the event dispatcher, or am I confused? No, it's only being handed out to that specific VideoSystem instance.
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingAlso, thanks for your help everyone, specifically SiCrane, ToohrVyk, and mossmoss. Sorry again for the miscommunication that confused everyone into thinking that I have a list of references stored in an STL container.
Drakkcon replied to Drakkcon's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThe class VideoSystem: class VideoSystem { private: const EventDispatcher& dispatcher; public: VideoSystem(const EventDispatcher& dispatcher) : dispatcher(dispatcher) { dispatcher.RaiseEvent(VideoSystemCreatedEvent()); } }; Will not be stored in an STL container.

Beth Howland passed away December 31st of last year, but her death was not announced until yesterday, in keeping with the wishes of her family.
She played Amy in the original Broadway production of Sondheim's "Company", and had a slew of other roles. Ms. Howland was perhaps most famous as Vera on "Alice".
Unlike many actors, Ms. Howland had never worked as a waitress. "But I just kept sitting around coffee shops and watching how it's done, and now I can carry four dinners," she told Knight Newspapers.
I kind of wonder if she was typecast after "Alice": the obit says she worked "sporadically".
She had small guest roles on "Eight Is Enough," "Little House on the Prairie," "Murder, She Wrote," "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" and "The Tick."
She and the actress Jennifer Warren were the executive producers of the documentary "You Don't Have to Die," about a 6-year-old boy's successful battle against cancer. It won an Academy Award in 1989 for best short-subject documentary.
(Wouldn't "After Alice" be a great idea for a new TV series? Linda Lavin is still alive: she could have taken over the diner from Mel. Polly Holliday is still alive, too: she could be working the counter, and then you cast someone to play Vera's daughter, who works as a waitress…Hollywood types, you know where to reach me.)
The AV Club is reporting the passing of Burt Kwouk, who sounds like a very cool and interesting guy. He was in three Bond films, but is perhaps best known as Cato in the Peter Sellers "Pink Panther" movies. (Edited to add: NYT obit.)
"They were always a lot of fun because after a while I got to know Cato quite well and I liked Cato because he never argued with me and he never borrowed money from me. I liked playing Cato quite a lot," he said of the role in a 2011 interview with the BBC.
Not exactly obits, but worth noting in my opnion: both Bubba Smith and Dave Mirra have been diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Letting out a journalistic "Ha-ha!" a la Nelson Muntz, the Washington Post ran an article sure to remind disspirited conservative voters in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia of what might have been if former Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) had been able to run a 2008 presidential campaign and unite the Republican Party:
RICHMOND -- As Virginia voters prepare to go to the polls Tuesday to help choose the Republican nominee for president, state and national party leaders are left wondering: What if former senator George Allen had never uttered the word "macaca"?
After years of preparing for a 2008 presidential run, including trips to Iowa and New Hampshire and formation of a national network of donors, Allen's use of the word on Aug. 11, 2006, changed the landscape of the GOP nominating contest.
"The most important word uttered in the Republican presidential primary has not been terrorism or taxes, not faith or family, " GOP strategist Dan Schnur wrote recently in the Los Angeles Times. "Rather it was macaca."
Post staff writer Tim Craig's 29-paragraph article was placed below the fold on the Metro section front page as part of the Post's coverage of the upcoming February 12 "Potomac Primary" for Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
Since Allen's favored candidate, Fred Thompson, is out of the running, there's little reason to spend precious ink beating the dead horse that is Macaca-gate. Unless, of course, the aim is to twist the knife into conservatives in general and Allen in particular.

ValueClick Shuffles CEO
Online advertising firm
said late Wednesday that it has named John Giuliani as its new President and CEO, replacing former CEO James R. Zarley. Zarley becomes Executive Chairman of ValueClick's board of directors. No reason for the change was given by the company, and ValueClick said there would be no change to either Mr. Giuliani's or Mr. Zarley's compensation as part of the move. Zarley served as CEO of valueClick from 1999 to May of 2007, chairman between May of 2007 to April 2010, and then back to CEO and President since April of 2010. Giuliani has been ValueClick's COO since April, and prior to that was at Dotomi.

CDC is uniquely positioned within NOAA's emerging climate services. Through its diverse research in climate diagnostics and analyses, CDC is an extensive user of new and enhanced climate forecasts and products. Participation in the NOAA-CIRES western water regional integrated science assessment project engages CDC in research to identify gaps between climate information and societal needs, and to develop decision support services that make climate information and products more useful. Finally, as an experimental provider of climate services, CDC is developing the infrastructure and expertise to provide improved access to climate and weather products for use by the scientific research community and less traditional users.
CDC will continue to develop experimental research products that meet the needs of both the scientific research community and less tradition users of climate information and forecasts. To ensure improved regular and systematic communication of needed climate information, CDC will work to formalize partnerships within NOAA and outside of NOAA. Within NOAA, enhanced interactions with OAR (e.g., GFDL and ETL), NESDIS (WRCC and NCDC) and NWS (NCEP/CPC and RFCs) will ensure the development of experimental climate monitoring and forecast products that can be used by, and then transferred to, operational distribution centers. As climate science matures, there is a greater awareness in society of the importance of climate, and the emerging role for climate information in decision-making related to energy, forest fires, air quality and human health, and water resources management. Although these are national issues, there is a growing recognition that providing an improved scientific basis for public planning and policy decisions will require regionally specific climate information and products designed to meet local, state, and regional interests. In collaboration with WRCC, CDC will continue to expand the links between fundamental climate research and regional applications to society-relevant problems, including the timely and routine transfer of data, products, and information to current and future user communities. Enhanced partnerships between CDC and university-based regional climate assessment activities, as well as identified stakeholders in the West, will be essential to accelerate the increased flow of climate information to support decisions. In-house research at CDC will continue to work directly with active, or potential, users of climate information to improve the understanding and usefulness of climate information while identifying areas for research to develop new and improved experimental climate products. In addition, CDC research will be expanded to identify the possible impacts of climate variability on public health and to develop climate products that better forecast and monitor potential public health crises.

KeKe Palmer Wanted to be Light Skinned!
"When I was like 5 years old I used to pray to have light skin because I would always hear how pretty that little light skin girl was, or I would hear I was pretty 'to be dark skinned.' It wasn't until I was 13 that I really learned to appreciate my skin color and know that I was beautiful," she said.
