Ten Rules for Being Human by Cherie Carter-Scott
by greut
& 2 others
- You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
- You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
- There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
- Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
- Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
- "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
- Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
- What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
- Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
- You will forget all this.
rules for living well
by blackgoldfish
Choose quality over quantity with everything - shoes, friends, food - everything.
Look into alternative forms of medicine.
Take the time to figure out who you really are, what you like and dislike, what you need and don't.
Live within your means and respect every dollar you make.
Cultivate a passion.
Eat Real Food! Stay away from processed and buy local whenever you can.
Refuse to give in to texting.
As hard as it is, acknowledge and work on whatever keeps you from living the life of your dreams.
Refuse to play small or dim your light in order to make others comfortable.
Listen to your body.
Spend part of every day in silence, even if it's ten minutes.
Create a living space that reflects who you are.
Make visual beauty a priority.
Tell people you love them often.
Be true to yourself at all costs.

CSS Tools: Reset CSS
by mozkart
& 1 other
(via)
The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others.
The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. Fill in your preferred colors for the page, links, and so on.
In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness.

Self taught artist, Frank Duval, aka FKDL, is an adept of collage in all its forms since 1997 : art scotch, paintings, murals, street art… In 2006, he creates a family of 20 black voluptuous silhouettes on the walls of Paris, before taking them to New-York, Berlin, London, Barcelona, Turin…
Once they’re adorned with bits from vintage magazines, his figures, with their characteristic colored backgrounds and their happy body language, make FKDL a unique signature in the universe of street art.

Verses for Daily Living
by blackgoldfish
Following the Breath
Breathing in, I calm my body
Breathing out, I smile
Dwelling in the present moment
I know this is a wonderful moment
Breathing in, I know I am breathing in
And breathing, out I know
As the in-breath goes deep
The out-breath grows slow
Breathing in makes me calm
Breathing out brings me ease
With the in breath, I smile
With the out breath, I release
Breathing in, there is only the present moment
Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment
In, Out
Deep, Slow
Calm, Ease
Smile, Release
Present moment, Wonderful moment

Coilhouse
by borsky
"COILHOUSE is a love letter to alternative culture, written in an era when alternative culture no longer exists. And because it no longer exists, we take from yesterday and tomorrow, from the mainstream and from the underground, to construct our own version. We cover art, fashion, technology, music and film to create an alternative culture that we would like to live in, as opposed to the one that’s being sold or handed down to us. The result, in the form of articles, features and interviews, is laid out on our blog and in our print magazine for all to see. "
