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.

four
by blackgoldfish
Today, my baby, you turn four. When did this happen? Was it not just yesterday that I had to put you inside my coat to keep you warm? Now look at you! Almost as tall as your sister with just as much spunk. Happy Birthday my punkin.
What four is looking like so far:
You pronounce your Rs as if you lived in Boston your whole life- A feather is a featheh.
You sing from dawn to dusk- singsong monologues of your life.
You eat a peanut butter sandwich every single day.
You wake up hungry and must immediately eat a granola bar or your world collapses.
You love coffee
Your favorite color is blue
You swing so high that I have to hold in my own concern because I see how much you need to do it.
When you get mad, I suggest people step away, as you get a bit ferocious.
You will brush my hair four an hour straight, and therefore I'll not ever cut it.
You like to get your back lightly scratched, just like Mama.
Happy Birthday, my sweet girl. Every day with you is a treasure and a surprise. I love you.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU - Sharenator.org Original
by Spone
This is my favorite 4chan meme. I've spent half of my boring day in the office looking for the best rage threads and made this collection. I'd love to credit authors but most of them seem to be... anonymous. I found some of these on 4chan, some on sites like digg, reddit, some on google (and it wasn't easy to find something with unknown number of F's and U's in the file name), etc. These are the best of them in one place. Enjoy!

Use WordPress As a CMS: Plugins, The Bare Minimum
by mozkart
How to use WordPress as a CMS is a popular question. Especially when you want to quickly throw up what is sometimes called “The Brochure Site”. Yep, that hoary throwback to Web 1.0, the static site. You’re going to template the site in PHP anyway, right? Why not just use WordPress and give your client the option of updating their content, while a million or so developers are working behind the scenes to make sure the code powering your site is the best it can be? Not a tough choice.
Besides, no one said it had to be completely static, did they? Here’s the rundown on a few plugins, the bare minimum you’ll need, that’ll turn a simple static site into a blazing fast dynamic one, with easily managed content, that you’ll love to use.

La casa editrice Guanda pubblica L'amore, un'estate di William Trevor
by ebyweb
'L'amore, un'estate' (Love and Summer) di William Trevor, pubblicato in Italia dalla Casa Editrice Guanda, racconta delle tragiche conseguenze e la vergogna di una famiglia per l'onore perduto di una donna. L'autore, 81 anni, con la sua prosa ricca di sfumature, raffigura una società soggiogata dalla condanna implacabile della Chiesa sull'immoralità sessuale. Trevor racconta la città fittizia di Rathmoye con la precisione di una fotografia, offrendo un ritratto dei suoi abitanti, sottile e pittorico.

The Freebase community is creating the definitive open database of people, places, and things. # How is Freebase different from Wikipedia? From Google Base? Wikipedia and Freebase both appeal to people who love to use and organize information, but the difference lies in the type of information covered, and the way it's organized. Wikipedia arranges...

old sayings
by blackgoldfish
Don't panic.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
The smallest deed is better than the biggest intention.
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
The only reason you die is because you live.
Take the chance while you still have the choice.
The only thing you truly own is your time.
Be brave enough to live creatively.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Always begin with an end in mind.
The eyes believe themselves; the ears believe other people.
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.
Pick a path with heart.
Take a chance in the near future.
Change your luck today.
Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother.
Let the spirit of adventure set the tone.
Dare to dream, hope, believe, seek, feel, find, and love.
Be mischievous and you will not be lonesome.
Originality overcomes everything.
Good luck is the result of good planning.

HTML5 Validator Needs Updating. from Maykel Loomans on 2009-10-20 (www-validator@w3.org from October 2009)
by night.kame
Ever since the HTML5 footer has been redefined I have changed the markup of http://www.miekd.com/
At the current stage, the validator has still not been updated to
match this spec change. I am aware of the giant draft/beta sticker on
the validator, but I would really love to have an up-to-date validator.
Encore un qui n'a rien compris à HTML 5, mwahahahaha.
