My second published article for Eurogamer has hit at last! Go, enjoy!
What is the future that you see, scared male gamer?
Is it an apocalypse? Are you there, huddled amongst the ruins? A fire weakly crackling at your feet, your faces lit by the light of a PS Vita, struggling in vain to eek out the last few moments of battery life before the wandering bands of feminists descend upon you to tear you from this mortal coil for your crime of gaming?
Are you afraid that the scary skeletons of social justice are going to take away your precious games? Because if so, let me tell you that your fear is fucking nonsense.
Let me lay out a couple of basic facts. Firstly, feminism is a movement aimed at getting equal treatment for all genders. It is not about denigrating men, it is not about promoting women above men, it is about giving equality to all. Men benefit from feminism greatly as it works towards taking away the stigma attached to things associated with women. When a man is insulted for not liking sports, when a man is ridiculed by other men about being sexually assaulted, when a man is insulted about not conforming to societies views of men it is a result of misogyny. It is a hatred of what is considered "feminine" and not "masculine", it is a result of the inherent sexism running throughout our society. That is not to belittle the men insulted, but to point out that feminism erases those stigmas, feminism helps those men and ALL men by making the world a better, more equal place for everyone.
Secondly, no feminist is trying to take away your games. Applying basic critical analysis on a game, in Anita Sarkeesian's case from a feminist viewpoint, is not trying to destroy games. Hell it's not even controversial. It's an obvious, easily viewable fact that women and people of colour aren't well represented in games, to deny it is literally just denying reality. All that feminists want is for people to be better represented, for games to have a wider, more informed viewpoint, which can only lead to deeper, more interesting stories and characters.
Thirdly, female developers and critics are already gamers. They love games, they're making careers out of loving games, they're as keen for games to continue to exist as anyone CAN be, they are not enemies!
There is no terrible endgame to this. Games will continue and, if they embrace feminism, they'll be better than ever before. Your identity will not be sacrificed; you'll be the same person you ever were. So why are there so many men out there willing to send violent rape and death threats, even terrorist threats, to women in order to "defend" their games? If you're truly not misogynistic, if you don't hate women, what is there to fear?
There is nothing.
Now Gamergate is, purportedly, a consumer movement that thinks games journalism is subject to corruption. Not from big publishers, not from proven sources, but from small indies and, especially, women. Despite the proclamations to the contrary this is an easy conclusion to come to. Gamergate began with an ex-boyfriend posting claims that his ex-girlfriend, independent developer Zoe Quinn, had slept with some other men, at least one of whom was a games journalist. This ignited a campaign against her, with some people saying she did it to get favourable coverage for her game, which was entirely disproved. She was subject to threats of assault, rape and murder, there were some who organised together to discuss how to attack more efficiently, some in those chats discussed how great it would be if she killed herself. Gradually the narrative shifted from attacking her to suggesting that games journalism was corrupt thanks to friendly relationships between writers in this enthusiast press and small indie devs.
Of course it's hard to find that corruption. It's easier to uncover corruption by large publisher who hold sway over the access to games that writers have, but that's not what is being talked about. When I asked gamergate supporters directly what they wanted they said they wanted all possible relationships between writers and devs exposed. This was then instantly, without prompting, followed up with an attempt to paint Zoe Quinn as dishonest using her retweeting some of the hate she was being sent as evidence, because previously she'd said she wanted the whole ordeal to go away. The instant connection to Quinn, along with the continued harassment of female devs and writers and the origins of the movement paint a much more obvious picture, one society shows in abundance, and that is the fear of female sexuality. Women are routinely shamed and attacked over expressing their sexuality, the most common and obvious double standard being that a man with many sexual partners is seen favourably and a woman doing the same is a "slut" and a "whore. Even the most hated men in the industry, such as Bobby Kotick, don't get the level of vitriol and campaigning that many, many women have had to endure. Zoe Quinn's sex life is not a public matter, it never was, and it never will be for any women in the industry, the reactions to it are all too familiar.
Gamergate has picked up some followers who believe there is a real problem in games journalism and while it's clear the corruption at the core of gamergate is false, there could be merit to looking at genuine ethical concerns. Gamergate is not how to do it, it is a movement born of hate and is using the moderate supporters to hide the insidious and awful actions at its centre. Even it's most vocal supporters can't provide any real issue that doesn't rely on lies and sexism. If you want to look at corruption then create a new group, a group actually focused on that, not one that exists in mire of feculence
I've been struggling to articulate my thoughts on this. The actions of the men involved are so horrific, so disgusting and yet so fucking typical that keeping calm while writing this has been a genuine challenge. But here is a final thought:
If you have sent these threats, if you have thought "Well she deserved it", if you offer support or feel that this harassment is at all justified then please, please, go fuck yourself.
I really can't stand the weird instant disdain that a lot of gaming culture has for sports titles. They're still seen as outsider titles, popular primarily with people who aren't "real gamers" which is, of course, horseshit. They're as valid as anything else and have been a part of the gaming landscape from the very beginning, considering Pong was a simple abstraction of tennis. It's especially horseshit when you look at the kind of culture that's built up around MOBAs and Fighting Games, which contains the same style of secret vocabularies and insider knowledge, only gamers seem to do this in a much more exclusionary and aggressive manner than any sports fans I've met.
But in my life I've been a somewhat typical geek. Team sports have held little-to-no importance to me, either in playing or following and, as such, I've had little experience of their games beyond the more "arcade" style titles such as Sega Soccer Slam. It also means that I know nothing beyond the absolute basics of most sports, so it put me in a strange position when trying to pick a game to get into. FIFA was where I had the most knowledge, simply due to the omnipresent nature of football in the UK, its damp musk hovering over the nation at all times, but that's also the reason I actively cannot stand it, so that game was out of the question. Madden was where I had the least knowledge, the sport appeared to me as a sweaty puzzle of meat and I'd not ever looked into solving it and didn't feel an inclination to. This left NBA 2K as the game where I had a very basic knowledge of the sport, but found some appeal in music culture and a vague sense that my interest could build.
So I picked up NBA 2K13, probably the highest regarded sports title in history when it was released, and settled in to play. First creating my custom player:
Then I headed straight into the rookie showcase match of the career mode, thinking it would be a good place to start.
It turns out I was wrong because, unfortunately, I am the worst NBA 2K player in the history of the world. My basic knowledge of the sport is as follows: Ball go bouncy to one end, no holdy the ball while running, throw ball in hole in air before angry beep tells you that you are a bad person for not throwing the ball. This, it turns out, is not sufficient to play the game. Rather than doing anything useful Lord of the Skeleton Horde meandered about the court, waved his hands, jumped to swipe at invisible bees and sometimes collapsed for no reason I understood. His rating plummeted as he completely ignored the man he was supposed to be covering who lead The Stars to a 92 point victory.
So I quit and went in search of a tutorial mode. After fumbling about in the menus for a little while I discovered it and proceeded to run through all 101 moves it wanted to teach me. This tutorial was, in procedure, fantastic. It had an excellent controller diagram that showed you exactly how things had to be done; it was quick, responsive and extremely thorough. Sadly I was still too stupid to actually get a lot out of it because while I now knew what buttons to press I had no idea where or when to do it, and thanks to the inherent vocabulary fans already know some words were still utter gibberish to me. Not that I blame the game for this, their audience is people who already know and enjoy basketball, not the brainless arse that I am.
So imbued with this knowledge of buttons, sticks, triggers and bumpers I restarted my career. This time I tried to cover the guy the game was BLATANTLY POINTING AT, which I had somehow not noticed the first time round, and it went a little better. We still lost miserably to The Stars but not quite so stunningly and I occasionally score points myself! There was one moment where I lost track of my guy and had him resolutely running into the stands but I'm chalking that up to colour blindness because I can.
Next came the pre-draft interviews! The draft is something I had heard about more as a concept in a non-wartime sense, mostly from social media friends, and I knew it had something to do with picking rookies for new teams. I hadn't expected to actually play through interviews, which handily simulated the bluffing I was being forced to do. I gave milquetoast answers to questions I barely understood to scouts from teams I only knew existed thanks to renting NBA Jam for my Mega Drive. I must have said something right to the Boston Celtics since they drafted Lord of the Skeleton Horde as the 21st pick.
That's as far as my journey into NBA 2K13 has gone so far. I'm determined to keep at it, but right now I'm still terrible enough that I'm surprised my player wasn't dribbling entirely with his arse. What will become of me and Lord of the Skeleton Horde? Find out next time!
Gabriel Knight 1 is being remade, a 20th anniversary celebration of a highly-regarded adventure game. Its creator, Jane Jensen, is at the helm and her new studio seems to be doing a good job of bringing the old pixel art to life in 3D.
Sadly, according to Jensen, she's keeping the gameplay identical. That, I feel, is a hell of a lost opportunity and a blockade to her desire to see the franchise resurrected.
I've been a big fan of adventure games throughout my life starting with my early experiences of Monkey Island and The 7th Guest. I understand the love for the genre and the fervour it creates in fans who feel frustrated that it fell out of favour as a top-budget endeavour. Still, I also understand the frustrations that those classic adventure games bring out. Good stories and characters were often locked behind absurd puzzles and inane invisible triggers, forcing players to twist their minds to the fragmented, distorted logic the designers employed. Even the best games, those that had clever-but-tough puzzles, often fell prey to cheap bottlenecks or poor communication. This issue was most famously discussed on the long-dead site Old Man Murray in this article written by Erik Wolpaw and Chet Faliszeck where they chronicled one of the worst puzzles in, suitably enough for this piece, Gabriel Knight 3.
There was a lot of bluster in the late '90s and early '00s about the death of adventure games. It was overblown and needlessly dramatic talk because the genre never died; it was just forced to evolve. Budgets shrank and the focus shifted, but the games stayed, and they improved. Arguably the end of the golden era of adventure games was the release of Tim Schafer's Grim Fandango; a sweeping, ingenious tale of corruption in the afterlife influenced by the Mexican celebration of Dia De Muertos. This hit the shelves at the end of 1998 and while Lucasarts had one final adventure up its sleeve it was, unfortunately, the disappointing Escape from Monkey Island. It was around then that people declared the genre dead and many people believed this was the case until fairly recently. Truthfully, it was only a few years, in 2001, before the release of the first part of one of the best adventure game series of all time, the original Gameboy Advance Japanese release of the first Phoenix Wright title. Granted it wasn't until 2005 that the game was officially released in English for the Nintendo DS, but the genre was still out there and supported by a huge company, in this case: Capcom.
Over the course of the first three titles Phoenix Wright fixed some issues with the genre, while bolstering the strengths it already had. You play the titular Phoenix Wright, a defence attorney who must defend a variety of people against murder charges while discovering the truth in each individual case and an overarching story in each game. It focuses on interviews and interrogations of a wide range of interesting and hilarious characters, as well as investigating locations to look for evidence. The game relies, mostly, on simple logic and spotting contradictions in testimony and proving it with evidence. It's not perfect, suffering from issues of needing to hit unknown triggers while out investigating and the most pressing issue, knowing what you want to prove but not which piece of evidence the game expects, which can get you penalised. Despite this Phoenix Wright took huge steps towards taking the frustration out of adventure gaming, solving puzzles relied on logic you could understand, and while situations were often surprisingly complex you could see and figure out what was occurring. The mental gymnastics and psychic powers that were needed to solve older games weren't present.
Other series have arisen, taking a variety of approaches. Another that is iconic to the DS is Professor Layton, games that separated the puzzles nearly entirely from their setting, making it a strange cross between a puzzle compendium and a regular book that rarely interacted but seemed to resonate with audience in a compelling way. LA Noire took a Phoenix Wright-like approach, only a lot more guided and forced, but again its solutions weren't impossible to predict (though the need to always kill people on the side quests felt utterly bizarre). Amanita Design released Samorost 1+2 and Machinarium, strange games of exploration and interaction that were often abstract but were much better at communicating information to players, making them much more understandable.
So, back to Gabriel Knight. I have, just this week, played through the original title in its CD-ROM fully-voiced incarnation and enjoyed it quite a lot. The story and the way it was told through gradual investigation was engaging and interesting; talking to characters and gathering information and conversation topics felt natural and believable. The research that clearly went into Voodoo and its history made the plot genuinely fascinating at times and the passion for interesting belief systems came through strongly. Sadly these strengths and hooks were often fighting back against the inclusion of bizarre and frustrating puzzles that block your way with annoying regularity.
One that stuck in my mind happened fairly early in the game. You need the services of an artist at one point but he's not interested in helping so here's what you do: first you have to leave, then walk back into the scene and wait for the picture he's working on to blow away and land behind a fence where he can't reach it. Gabriel also can't reach it so you have to get a $20 book token from his store, give it to a hotdog vendor so he'll give you ONE dog, which you can then give to a tap-dancing child who will reach through the fence, grab the picture and allow you to take it to the artist who will finally agree to help you. Some elements of this puzzle are fine and make sense; others are unnecessary steps that are just odd. You could eliminate the hotdog vendor entirely and just have Gabriel ask the kid for a much more straightforward approach that didn't feel so silly.
Throughout the game there are moments like this or worse. It's far from the most heinous offender, especially in the Sierra catalogue, but they are bad enough to be frustrating in the middle of an engaging and interesting game. Now, twenty years later, the game is being remade and none of these issues are going to change. I'm sure the more die-hard fans of the original will be happy to hear its gameplay will remain identical; but ignoring the developments in the genre and the possibilities that exist for remaking the game in a less frustrating manner means its audience will be limited. Many people will run afoul of poor choices and frustrating design, likely giving up on the game, then where will the audience be for the mooted fourth title?
I'm sure people would see this as me calling for the game to be "dumbed down" but that isn't what I want. I want the game to actually make sense to the player, not just to the designers or people who already know the answers. You can make a tough puzzle without resorting to awkward leaps of logic or obscure connections and it's those puzzles that feel the most satisfying. It's a souring experience when you either look up a puzzle or stumble upon the solution by brute force and are left with the answer-less question of "How the hell was I supposed to know that?"
I wish Jane Jensen and her studio well with the remake, truly I hope they are successful, but at the same time I feel this kind of remake, especially when the original is still easily available (and artistically still good to look at and listen to, it's just the limitations of the time) doesn't add much to the package. It wastes an opportunity for tweaks to give the same story to a wider audience, in a smoother way, which is a shame.
I recently played through Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs and I found it a captivating experience. While certainly different to the original it was a focused and disturbing game that portrayed a driven story of very dark and interesting ideas. I wanted to know a little more about and the man behind the story very generously agreed to answer some of my questions! These questions and answers are very much a post-mortem so if you've yet to play the game, and want to experience the mystery as intended, it's best not to read this yet!
Otherwise read on and enjoy!
1) The first Amnesia title owed a clear inspirational debt to H.P. Lovecraft, a favourite of games developers, while A Machine for Pigs seemed to keep some elements of that it had a different feel. I felt the story and visuals were reminiscent of Clive Barker, particularly his work in the Books of Blood and The Hellbound Heart/Hellraiser were they an inspiration? What other works inspired your horror exploration in AMFP?
Dan: Barker wasn't specifically – haven't read books of blood for years! I'm quite a big steampunk fan, so there's a lot of that in there. Specifically G W Dahlquist's Glass Books of the Dream Eaters trilogy, plus Lavie Tidhar and Stephen Hunt mainly. Hide Me Among The Graves by Tim Howard was quite influential as well.
Today's feature is a guest post written by our very own site architect, Conjawa, an avid adventure game fan she wanted to put out her top ten titles. Clicking on the art will take you to a place to buy the game, unfortunately some are not easily available.
10: Space Quest VI
The only Sierra-developed game to make the cut. While I did enjoy some of their other games (most notably Torin's Passage and some installments of the King's Quest series) the writing of your typical Sierra game is pretty lacking, many puzzles are tedious or impossible to solve, and you can die. While Space Quest 6 doesn't solve any of these issues, not by a long shot, it is a vast improvement when combined with the humor this makes all the difference. True to Space Quest tradition, the narrator is snarky and never hides how much he dislikes Roger. The puzzles, while still occasionally tedious, are much easier to get through. Plus the settings you visit in 6 are a hoot, from Polysorbet to inside Stella's body.
9. Night of the Rabbit
I was first introduced to Daedelic from playing the Deponia series. With the dissolution of Lucasarts the nostalgia for point-and-clicks games really kicked in and I stumbled onto Deponia. While scoring major points for being a visual delight (and 2d animation to boot) it was really lacking in the story and character department (re: DIE RUFUS, DIE!!) Still, the art was incentive enough to give Night of the Rabbit a chance and I was pleasantly surprised. Besides the bonus of the main character, Jeremiah, not being painfully obnoxious, the art style lends itself very well to the fairytale-esque story. The puzzles can be a bit tedious at times, but thankfully we live in an age where hints are readily available.
8. Myst
Myst was a visual treat that you never really forget. My dad and I joined forces to explore the island and solve some pretty well-crafted puzzles (save for the underground train system… that was a pain.) The fact information is kept to a minimum is a real credit to how well Myst was crafted – it isn't overly complicated so that people automatically get frustrated and quit right away (unlike Riven.) Right off the bat you have no idea what's going on, which can be a gamble, however, the developers overcame that with the world they created. That alongside the simple game play that provides an experience that's challenging, but not impossible to complete, made it a memorable game.
7. Fate of Atlantis
The adventure of Indiana Jones was my first point-and-click. Having revisited it recently, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it still holds up. The story keeps true to the spirit of Indy, especially compared to some more modern interpretations like, say, The Crystal Skull. The highlight for me was the multiple story paths that cleverly integrated different elements into the gameplay –an approach that Lucasarts surprisingly chose not to try again. Some of the puzzles are dull and rely on picking up tools you've already used, but beyond that there isn't much to complain about.
6. The Neverhood
Save for the damn 30 screen-long wall of exposition, this is a solid game. Major kudos goes to the art design – the claymation was an awesome touch that gave the game a very distinct look while still making the game play smooth. The world being slightly off from the get-go with absolutely no hints about the plot definitely compels you to explore the sucker. Augmented with the soundtrack by Terry S. Taylor the Neverhood was one strange, but fun, game to play.


text: Rapid Reality, developer of The Chronicle, has dumped the Kaneva Engine and is in the process of porting everything to the Aura Game Engine. They expect a three month port cycle, which will delay the beta that was nearly upon us at the time of this decision. The Chronicle's beta is now targeted at January or early February, with an estimated launch date of March 1. As a result of the delays, the organization has offered to refund any pre-orders. This is kind, but I think anyone who pre-orders a first-product (especially an MMORPG) from a new company has some pretty substantial wedding tackle, so, I doubt those who pre-ordered will take Rapid Reality up on this offer. They can wait a couple more months. I'll be keeping an eye on this virgin world as it progresses for a couple reasons: 1. They're going through some big changes and have made some considerable claims. 2. I have a sneaky suspicion that Rapid Reality is... ah, I'll let you decide for yourself. |

Our experience in Jen's cottage was wonderful. The cottage was adorable, secluded, and had wonderful decorative touches and attention to detail. The kitchen was stocked with all the supplies we needed to make omelets in the morning, and we really enjoyed using the bike's Jen provided to bike down to Cooper's beach. Everything was clean and we had all we needed for an amazing stay. Although we didn't get to meet Jen in person because she wasn't feeling well, we made out nicely. I would definitely recommend this cottage.
Raquel2016-01-19T00:00:00ZOur experience with Jennifer's cottage was great! Jennifer was a gracious host and kept the place beyond what was advertised. The cottage was well stocked, the kitchen was full - including a Keurig that made delicious coffee. Beach towels, chairs, and supplies were readily available. They even had bikes, although we had brought our own. The washer and dryer were an added bonus for the beach day. The location makes the place worth it; it's next to Southampton town center, and is 1 mile away from two different beaches. It's also right next to the Southampton train station and S92 bus.
Steve2014-07-09T00:00:00ZMy husband and I had a great stay at the cottage with our 11 month old daughter! It was the perfect location for walking to town, a quick drive to the beach and daily excursions. The cottage was exactly as pictured. Everything was extremely clean and very nicely furnished. Jen provided a high chair for us when we told her we were bringing a baby and was very friendly and available for questions (while giving us space and privacy). We would love to come back soon!
Emily2015-06-29T00:00:00ZThis was SUCH an amazing experience for someone like myself who is a self described vacation snob. Jen's touches throughout the cottage were impeccable.. It was ridiculously clean, well decorated, high-end and completely comfortable. It was the perfect space for a couple looking to get away! She also thought of EVERYTHING-- his / her shampoo, nice items in pantry for cooking accessories, coffee, beach accessories and more. It was so thoughtful and we felt like we were staying with family more than a complete stranger. The location is also unbelievable. We had a car but we never used it! We could walk to town and bike to the beach. The bikes also came equipped with racks for beach chairs and baskets for us to tote some beach snacks. We were completely in awe of how perfect our stay was. Book quick as she is clearly famous for her accommodations and it's books up fast! We'll definitely be back!
Erin2016-06-20T00:00:00ZLovely cottage - clean, provided linens/towels, fridge, and clear instructions with welcome packet. Location was very close (walkable) to Main Street and about 1 mile from the closest beach. We only wish the weather had been less rainy the weekend we were in town! Highly recommended for 2 people; 3 might be a bit of a squeeze. The skylights in the living room and bedroom were also a nice touch. Many thanks to Jen for being a wonderful host. Hope to come back again!
Laura2015-06-25T00:00:00ZWhile my family travels quite frequently, this was our very first experience with Airbnb, and it was a great first experience. The property was immaculate and the location was excellent. It's in close proximity (in walking distance) to the town center and near the beaches (actually two beaches are nearby). The cottage has everything you need; you could literally just bring yourself and your clothes.
Sakari2016-04-02T00:00:00ZWonderful cottage, well-maintained in a great location. Jen provided everything we needed and also provided great recommendations on beaches, restaurants, and other area attractions. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!
Fahd2016-07-25T00:00:00ZThe place was just as it is pictured. We had a really lovely stay. Jen provided a clean and quiet place to stay. The space is beautiful and has everything you could need. Her cottage is easily walkable from the train and town.

The house was wonderful - lots of rooms and beds and bathrooms - and was great for a weekend with two families with little children. Great kitchen and dining area for meals and so close to town and train so really easy to get around. It was a perfect stay!

ChristopherThis is house is close to downtown Southampton and the train station. Everything you need is pretty much walking distance. The house is clean, has enough space for about 8 adults and the backyard is beautiful. The kids really enjoyed playing soccer while the adults enjoyed the deck with a nice BBQ. Jim was very helpful. Communication with Jim was always quick and detailed. We really enjoyed our stay!
Mabelle2017-02-23T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay! Walking distance to town, comfortable and cozy! Communication was easy, check in and booking was a breeze. Would definitely stay again!

Overall the four of us enjoyed our stay at Brian's house. We spent most of our time outside the house during the days we stayed, but the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were spotless. However, I would suggest to Brian that he insert an airconditioning unit on the bottom floor as well as in the other rooms on the top floor since it was steamy and hot during the nights we stayed. Otherwise, it's a perfect place to stay during the spring and fall seasons with quick access to great restaurants and shops in the vicinity.
Michael2016-08-21T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed our stay in Southampton. Brian's house is in a convenient location, has everything you need, and is a great place to relax, enjoy the beach, and explore the Hamptons. Brian is a fantastic host and couldn't have made the check-in/out process easier. If you're looking for a weekend out of the city this is the perfect place to unwind.
Amy2016-08-15T00:00:00ZBrian's place was a perfect spot for the weekend. Great location near Southampton village and beaches. The house had a great feel, yard, and games! Brian was also quick to respond with our questions, even about the art in his house. I'd love to go back.
William2016-08-09T00:00:00ZGreat place! Convenient location close to town! Everything you need (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication was quick and easy.

Tims place was absolutely fantastic. Recently stylishly renovated the attention to detail was amazing- it is probably the best airbnb I have ever stayed in and my husband and I cannot wait to return in summer. Thanks Tim!
Melissa2017-02-20T00:00:00ZTim's place was great and he was an excellent host. We would love to come back in the summer to check out the pool!
Peter2017-03-05T00:00:00ZWe travel fairly frequently, and often use AirBNB when we do. Despite the locale, sometimes our weekends away just don't end up being as relaxing as we had hoped, for various reasons. This was definitely not the case with this beautiful house in Southampton and our wonderful host, Tim. The house was exactly as described, brand-new, with all the amenities that we look for when we travel. I like to cook when vacationing and I was pleasantly surprised to find a kitchen generously stocked with all of the pots, pans, cutlery and dinnerware to make some great food with either on the five-burner on the kitchen or with the grill out back. The saltwater pool was something I had never experienced and an amazing alternative to the chlorine based ones I'm used to. Overall I'd say that if you're looking for a great house in a great location, central to the beach, wineries and great bars, cafes and restaurants, then you need look no further than this property. We had no problems during our visit but Tim was always very responsive to any questions that we had. A great experience which we definitely plan on repeating soon!
Yana2016-09-19T00:00:00ZThis was an amazing house and made for a super weekend away from the city for us from start to finish. The house is super clean and perfectly situated for some pure rest and relaxation. The local deer in the yard make the experience that much more special. Tim is an excellent host and took care of all our needs at any time of the day. I would recommend this house anytime and we definitely plan to return.
Gaurang2016-10-12T00:00:00ZI like to thank Tim for accommodating us so last minute. Thanks to his immediate response, we were able to get out of another house that did not have air conditioning during a heatwave. The house is absolutely beautiful. It has a clean and airy look and feel to it, the rooms are very charming, and the bathroom shower was a hit. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space and pool. It was so nice that we found ourselves spending more time in the house than we anticipated. I would defiantly stay again. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY FAMILY STAYCATION A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!!
Jacqueline2016-09-02T00:00:00ZThe host was very kind and responsive. The house was exactly as displayed online. We hope to visit again soon!
Maddy2016-08-21T00:00:00ZThis place was so cozy, clean and peaceful. Couldn't have wish for better place to spend a few days after Christmas and relax. Tim was very helpful and responsive. Lovely place where I will definitely go back!
Laurie2017-01-03T00:00:00ZThe perfect location and the perfect house. Tim is a super host and we loved every minute staying at this amazing house.

Elana2017-01-05T00:00:00ZCute place, and lovely sheets. It ended up being further away from the town than I had expected. and was tough for me to get around (Uber is really expensive in SH, cabs are cheaper, but make sure you have cash). The room was clean and cute.

Jennifer did everything she could think of to make me feel welcome during my stay. She invited me over to their terrace one evening for a glass of wine. We had a friendly chat and she offered suggestions about different places to see in the area. She offered the use of their bikes and kayaks and this was very convenient. Jennifer even transported the kayak to the lake herself and she showed me on a map how to navigate the roads by bike. Their cozy house in is a very quiet section of Southampton. The room is spacious, clean and simple. The deck off the room is lovely as is the backyard. They have an adorable friendly cat who roams around the property.
Mary2014-09-11T00:00:00ZVery nice place, we really enjoyed our stay.
Steffen2012-08-29T00:00:00ZJennifer was a very hospitable host who could easily transition into the hotel buisness if that is what she wanted to do. The cental air conditioning was well appreciated during the hot month of July and there is a very convenient refrigerator in the room which can make ice.
Ken2012-07-18T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay in Jennifer's home. Jennifer and her children were really warm and made us feel right at home. On our first night, we arrived late and they waited up for us to make sure we arrived safely, which was very thoughtful. The room was lovely, neat and clean. It had a private entrance and lovely deck we could use without disturbing the family. The room was also stocked with a mini fridge with milk and juice and there was a basket of individual cereal boxes, oatmeal packages, coffee and a coffeemaker which was great for breakfast. The house is only a few miles from the ocean and close to town, so we could easily to get the beach or restaurants in town. We brought our bikes on the trip and one of the bikes got a flat tire after the bike shop had closed. Jennifer was kind enough to not only pick us up, but let us put our bikes in her car and drive us back to the house. This was completely unexpected and unnecessary, but goes to show how wonderful of a host she is. We would not hesitate to stay at her beautiful home again!
Fariha2014-09-04T00:00:00ZJennifer was a great host! She was attentive and accomodating and communication was excellent. When we arrived it was SO hot, but our room was pleasantly cool with central AC, and there was a fridge to put our wine and snacks into. Jennifer and her son helped us put her kayaks on my car, then showed us a great spot to paddle around. When we came back Jennifer's daughter insisted we try the outdoor shower and I am so glad I did. It was private and a unique experience. The room was quiet and looked just as expected. A great little get away!
Ann2012-07-21T00:00:00ZI had a wonderfull time with Jennifer, a very gracious host. The room was very attractive..bed was comfortable. I loved having a separate entrance to come and go. Nice basket of goodies on the dining table for me....tea, cofee ,oatmeal, cookies. Wish I had had more time to enjoy the kayak on the lake...maybe next time. I am very interested in finding the time to come and stay again. Suzanne
suzanne2012-07-25T00:00:00ZThis was a great place for the weekend in the Hampton's. Jenn is a great person and host. Her place gave us the ability to go everywhere in area, and we really loved it. It was extremely comfortable, cozy, and clean. Everything you needed was there, and we loved her cat Oliver.
Michael2014-08-13T00:00:00ZCutest room with patio and whimsical backyard. Perfect location - right in the middle of everything! Jennifer went above and beyond to make our stay a wonderful experience. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay in the Hamptons and for such a terrific price.

Ani2016-07-14T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely night at Dave and Carol's beautiful home. Thank you!
Kerry2016-09-11T00:00:00ZDave and Carol were amazing hosts, going out of their way to make us feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. They provided recommendations on things to do while we were there i.e. restaurants, beaches etc. The place is better than the pictures--the pool was a great way to start the day and the hot tub a relaxing way to finish it. The apartment had everything you need and was very clean. We live in NYC so we don't have a car, but that wasn't a problem. Town and the train station are close by and Cooper's Beach, which was amazing, is a short ride away too. You can bike or Uber places easily. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a great time and we'd recommend Dave and Carol's. We definitely would come back,too!
Julia2016-08-21T00:00:00ZCarol and Dave's place is pure relaxation. The pool is beautiful and exactly the reason we booked a quick getaway from the city's summer heat. Carol and Dave welcomed us with local information and a run down of the amenities. Carol is a recent retiree that wants you to enjoy the many improvements they have made to their home. Dave is super friendly local and a great conversationalist. Even lighting up some charcoal so we could BBQ our dinner. While the price is on par with the Hampton area, it is steep. The local no thrills no frills hotel / motel is $650 a night! Therefore, in comparison, you are getting more bang for your buck.
Jeruschka 2016-07-28T00:00:00ZAll good
steven2016-08-08T00:00:00ZExcellent hosts! Dave and Carol are so warm, welcoming, and friendly. The apartment is newly renovated, clean, and spacious. They also have a gorgeous pool, hot tub, and outdoor shower. Great place and would certainly recommend it!
Purvi2016-07-26T00:00:00ZDave and Carol made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Hey we're warm and friendly to my entire family, especially my little daughter who followed Dave around asking him 1000 questions about anything she could think of.
Elizabeth2016-08-16T00:00:00ZHad a fantastic time. The pool is awesome and the hot tub is the best I've ever been in. Convenient to town and the rest of the Hamptons. Dave and Carol were extremely helpful and nice. Great trip

Beautiful home and lovely host!
Lauren2016-08-18T00:00:00ZIn my humble opinion, this beautiful apartment far surpassed even the nicest Southampton hotel. In the weeks leading up to our stay, B was responsive and enthusiastic to help with any questions we had – she even received the wedding welcome box that was delivered by the bride and groom (whose wedding we were attending) and placed it in the apt to welcome us. Sparkling clean, the most comfortable bed with an extra feather duvet for when the evening chill fell, beautiful light through the skylight, fully equipped kitchen (which included complementary snacks), a robust selection of toiletries, wonderful shower head with excellent water pressure, fast wifi, cable tv in the bedroom and living room….I could go on. The neighborhood was quiet (so we slept very well), and had fast access to downtown Southampton (everything was very easy to get to). I could not be more satisfied with the location, quality of accommodations or level of customer service we received. I am a very happy customer.
Hannah2016-10-10T00:00:00ZThe apartment was lovely. Plenty of space for 2 and beautifully decorated. Our hosts were great and left no detail unaddressed. They gave us a stocked frig and various sundries in the bathroom. My only suggestion might be a few more towels but that's a minor thing. I recommend this apartment but note the street is a bit busy and you need to drive to the beaches as I would not recommend biking from there. But a really positive experience.
Joyce2016-06-29T00:00:00ZRoomy, clean, very comfy, and well stocked apartment near town. Very gracious host. We went apple picking in Water Mill and came back and baked an apple pie in the convection oven. The cupboards were well stocked and Charlie even brought us the flour and lemon we forgot.
Monica2016-10-05T00:00:00ZGreat hosts and a beautiful apartment! Excellent location and everything needed for an escape from the city. Would not hesitate to stay again!
Igor2015-11-25T00:00:00ZAfter a false start due to car trouble, my girlfriend and I (and our Maltipoo Nala) made it to Southampton and B's Cute apartment. The apartment is filled with great natural light and well laid out. We really felt like we had made it to the Hamptons with the beachy feel. A bottle of wine was waiting for us as well as some sweet treats. Finally we were able to relax!! We chilled out on the couch and enjoyed our wine before going out to dinner, and returned to find our dog-friend cuddled up watching benji on digital cable.. And B even left us coffee and pancake mix for the morning. All around friendly, nice space, and relaxing. BONUS: We got engaged the next day in Montauk!!
Jay2015-10-08T00:00:00ZThis place was awesome! Large 1 bedroom with lots of Windows/skylight, full bathroom, full kitchen, and dining room table, huge couch with TV. Really comfortable. Everything you could need is provided - food, beverages, coffee, snacks, and even welcome beers! There is also plenty of towel and sheets provided and a blow up mattress. We had a great time exploring the Hamptons and this was a perfect launching point. Only a few minutes to town. Host was very friendly and accommodating. Very impressed.
Conner2016-09-08T00:00:00ZWe absolutely loved our stay at B's place! From the moment we arrived to the time we left, the experience was beyond our expectations. The location was perfect for us as our reason for visiting was only a few miles up the street. The apartment itself was extremely comfortable and adorable. We had everything we needed. We hope that we'll be able to return to B's place year after year!

Anne's home was spacious, comfortable and clean and suited our two families well. It had everything we needed and made our visit much more relaxing than having to stay at a hotel in Riverhead and drive to Southampton every day. The smaller children in our group were happy to be near the town park and the adults liked the proximity to everything else. Ultimately, it felt like being at our second home for the vacation instead of away at a hotel.

The place had everything I needed for short stay, perfect location (very close to the train station as well as being at a center point, close to all the shops and restaurants) and super clean. The hotel has its own restaurant if you want to stay in. Breakfast was included which I loved it. The stuff was very helpful and kind. I would definitely come back!

This was our first Airbnb experience and it was phenomenal! The home was exactly as advertised. The photos were extremely accurate and depicted the home and location to a tee. Before arrival, we received a very detailed email from Marty which was very helpful in its instructions. I was also able to correspond with Marty beforehand in order to help my packing process, finding out the items that were already at the house. When we arrived, we felt immediately at home. She had everything we needed all ready for us in every room of the house...complete amenities in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms. It's truly like we were at our home away from home. We have a toddler, and Marty already had all of the big child items we needed and that typically make traveling with a child bulky and complicated. But in this case, we didn't have to take any of those items because they were already there!! Pack n play, potty, stroller, high chair, toys, kid chairs, etc... As a mom wanting a bit of relaxation, these are the things that matter a lot! The home itself is beautiful, clean and extremely well maintained. The location couldn't have been more peaceful with direct access to the water right from the back yard. It was also very convenient to drive to the beach, the Parrish Museum and nearby towns. I would absolutely recommend anyone stay here if they are looking to relax and unplug by the water. That's what we did most of the time...just float on the water and relax in the beautiful back yard. This home is truly conducive to unplugging. We would love to rent this listing again in the future. Thank you, Marty, for a fabulous experience!
Carolina2016-07-23T00:00:00ZOur group had a lovely fall weekend at Marty's house! The kitchen is perfectly set up for cooking, the backyard was the perfect spot for a bonfire, a sunset, and in the mornings, a cup of coffee on the patio. We brought 2 dogs with us, and Marty was very accommodating. We paid an additional $50 for cleaning due to the dogs, which was fine with us! The house is well decorated and clean. If your group is prone to gather around a table or a kitchen and chat, this is a great spot for you. We made great use of the kitchen table for cards, group meals, etc.
Kate2016-10-30T00:00:00ZWonderful house and great location. Marty's home is super clean, quiet and peaceful! Couldn't ask for a better AirBnB experience!
Jacqueline2015-11-28T00:00:00ZEverything was wonderful....awesome location..very clean . I will return and recommend this house to anyone looking for a getaway in South Hampton...The house also is close to Sag Harbor and Shelter Island for a little adventure during the day .
Joanna2016-02-29T00:00:00ZMarty was a great host and was very responsive even during the weekend when we stayed. We had a few questions over the weekend and she responded very quickly to help us. The house is really nice and clean. The best part was the view of the lake. It was so pretty waking up to that in the morning.
Gloria2016-05-27T00:00:00ZThis house was so charming, adorable, and well-kept! Marty was so easy to communicate with, professional, and provided all of the information we needed for a great weekend! Thank you Marty!!! :)
Merissa2016-05-10T00:00:00ZMarty's cottage could not be in a lovelier setting -- it was the ideal backdrop for a relaxing long Thanksgiving weekend with family, secluded and quiet, but still within easy reach of civilization (as well as plenty of great hiking). Our group enjoyed cooking a ton in the well provisioned kitchen, and the baby had a ball doing her own "cooking" with the play kitchen. We had a wonderful stay and would love to return in summertime to spend more time outside and on the water.
Winnie2016-11-28T00:00:00ZMarty's house was gorgeous -- and perfect for our party of 8! My friends and I were looking for a relaxing weekend retreat and this place really exceeded all of our expectations. The lake is absolutely beautiful, and there's so much to explore on kayak (we would definitely recommend taking them out for a sunrise or sunset kayaking trip if you get the chance). Inside the house, the furnishings are gorgeous, the kitchen has all of the supplies you could possibly need, and everything is very clean. This was my first time staying at an Airbnb, and Marty made sure the process was stress-free and simple. She was always available via call or text if anything came up, and made sure we had all of the information we needed in advance of our arrival. We definitely enjoyed our stay at Marty's, and would definitely visit again if we had the chance!

Our family had a great time. The house is very conveniently located, close to shopping and restaurants in Southampton and to the other towns. The home is spacious, with comfortable living areas and bedrooms. The master suite is particularly expansive with a separate sitting room and two bathrooms. The home is in excellent condition and well-kept. We enjoyed family meals with the open kitchen and large dining table. Isaac was very responsive to messages. We look forward to visiting again.
Edward2016-12-25T00:00:00ZThe home itself is incredible. It's very spacious, the kitchen is huge and well equipped with many pots and pans for cooking as well as plenty of dishware. The rooms all have their own bathroom which is a very big plus. We stayed at the house in the off season so it was a bit quieter which was actually very nice. The location was great, within a mile to the beach and less than that to town. We didn't have a car, but uber was easily accessible throughout our trip. Isaac was very responsive and accommodating. There was even a bottle of wine for us upon arrival which was great. I would definitely stay at this home again.
suzy2016-10-04T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at Isaac's beautiful house. It has a great layout allowing for lots of privacy and space for everyone. Very close to the town of Southampton and to the ocean. Isaac was great about checking in and making sure everyone was enjoying themselves as well as very quick to respond to my texts. He is a great host! I would highly recommend Southampton Serenity. It's the perfect getaway.
LUIS2016-04-04T00:00:00ZThe house is great! Great location, big, comfortable house. Nice pool area. I definitely recommend this house for someone looking to relax in the Hamptons where you can walk to Southampton village and the beach.

The Cozy Room in the Hamptons was lovely for a little get-away. We were able walk into town and eat at great restaurants + window shop, we spent a day exploring Montauk, and we really enjoyed our ultra comfortable room.

We had a wonderful time at Danny's grilling and relaxing by the pool. The house is clean and spacious, conveniently located and a quick drive to the beach. Danny is the most gracious and generous host, making sure we were comfortable at all times and provided many valuable tips around Southampton. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Danny's and would definitely go back!
Shireen2016-09-08T00:00:00ZDanny was a great host. Nice room and little touches like freshly brewed coffee, breakfast and welcome bag made the stay even nice. Definitely recommend.
Kyler2016-10-10T00:00:00ZDanny's resort was super! The house is cozy and clean. Danny himself is great host! I had a great experience stay at his place. I would love to come back again anytime soon just to stay in his house and hosted by Danny!
Hendra2016-07-11T00:00:00ZThe house and the garden are amazing, beautifully decorated, clean and tidy. Danny was very kind and helpful, gave me plenty tips about the Hamptons and came to pick me up at the train station when I arrived. Breakfasts were delicious, freshly grounded coffee and organic food. The two dogs are very cute and friendly.
Geraldine2016-06-26T00:00:00ZDanny's house is located in a woody, quiet area. Car is a must, but it is only a short drive to beaches, parks and towns. The room is large, tidy and clean. So is the bathroom. Danny is a very friendly and generous host. He provides a delicious breakfast. Danny really helped me to make the most out of my 2 days on Long Island, with great recommendations and directions to local beaches, parks and restaurants. I would highly recommend a stay at Danny's place.
Ann-Charlotte2016-09-28T00:00:00ZDanny was an amazing host...the house was comfy and the amenities were awesome.
Marie2016-08-08T00:00:00ZWe booked a room for Memorial Day weekend, the host was very gracious and welcoming. He made us feel very comfortable and gave us many recommendations of places to try while exploring the hamptons. The house is lovely, bedrooms are on the top floor and mattress was very comfy. The host also provided continental breakfast in the mornings. Overall, it was a great experience and highly recommend staying there if your interested in going to the south hamptons!
Rosie2016-06-13T00:00:00ZDanny was a great host who accommodated us with every detail considered and taken care of. We will certainly go back to stay there not only we like the area but found a very nice place to stay!

Some external applications can be used by individual instructors without integrating them with Canvas. An instructor can add a web link to their Canvas course. When students click on the link, they leave Canvas and go to the web page for that tool. For apps that only benefit a few instructors, this model is usually sufficient.
Some external applications can benefit a large number of instructors, so that it makes sense to setup the app with an LTI (learning technology integration) connection to Canvas. Most external apps that are added to Canvas become available to the whole University and impact the entire system. This is why each request to add an external app is carefully evaluated to determine if it provides significant value and improves the quality of teaching and learning, while maintaining security, reliability, and system performance.
Instructors and course designers, if you would like to request an external application that will benefit many users at CSU, see the steps below.
To make a request for an external application into Canvas, on behalf of your college/area:
*Note: We are in the process of reviewing the criteria used to evaluate an external app / LTI request. At this time, please use the request form above and we may ask you for some additional information for your request. We will have an updated request form available in early spring 2017.
The Canvas leadership team will evaluate each request individually.
External applications can impact other areas at CSU that will need to be included in the assessment, such as the Library, CoTL, IAC, Security, Bookstore, etc.
Please allow 60 days for the full evaluation and analysis process.

what do you guys use? id like one that went well with a white macbook. i will mostly be using it for recording lectures and other school related affairs. i was thinking about something along the lines of a palm life drive. not sure though. id like to have 802.11b wireless and bluetooth. thanks. im considering this one:http://www.palm.com/us/products/mobilemanagers/lifedrive/specs.epl but would like other suggestions as well =)
Are you seriously suggesting that your criteria for a PDA is that it 'match my white Macbook'? What do you plan on doing with it? What OS do you prefer? We need more info before we can help.
Tungsten C is a fast Highres Palm pilot with Builtin wifi and keyboard and it's way cheaper than lifedrive.
Life Drive is too bulky If you are going to carry it in your pocket it's too bulky. If you just want to organize your life and have some recording capabilities, your decision is based on your budget. About the OS I positevely like the Palm OS, it's very easy to use and reliable, check here a taste of all the software available: http://www.palmgear.com/ http://www.handango.com/ In my particular opinion the LifeDrive is too bulky, it have a nice memory size 4Gb, and many features, but you can do all that with your macbook. You can consider other Palm models that you can use 2Gb or 1Gb SD card to have a good amount of memory, also remember you can always sync. For the price and the size I would prefer the Treo Smartphone 700p. If you want to add the wifi just buy an SD accesory that allows you to connect it, verify the availability of this accessory, for the some model the PalmOne WIFI card is available. http://www.palm.com/us/support/accessories/wifi_card.html I would recommend you the Palm TX instead of the Life Drive if you can live without the recording feature. Here you have a sample of the accessories you can get, also there you can check accessories for all the other models. http://www.mobileplanet.com/accessory.asp?code=126867&atype=LISTALL I have been using a Tre90 since 2002 and it still works for me with my personal and professional tasks. However I don't have the wireless capability, soon I will replace it with a TX when I also buy my new Intel Mac. The usage you are going to give it is the key for your decision. If you are only going to just record, better get a mic for your ipod. Is your cellphone capable of recording voice? The 700p gives you many more features for a similar Life Drive price. Have fun with your new Palm. ________ headshops
Yeah, here's a vote for the Treo 700p. Don't know if you need the phone capability, but it's definitely nice to have them all in one. I have the Treo 600 - no Bluetooth or WiFi - but I still love it. Curious to see how the new Treo 680 - the ones that FINALLY got rid of the antenna - are going to be on Verizon's network when they come around. If you don't need a phone/palm, get something with the Palm OS, so easy to navigate.
I've heard bad things about the LifeDrive. Constantly needs to be reset and it's slow due to the hard drive instead of the flash memory. People say the TX outperforms the LifeDrive, which is what I plan to get. However, the TX doesn't have a microphone. There aren't any signs that Palm is releasing a new PDA this year, unfortunately.
Personally I'd prefer a Palm since there are so many apps available. I don't know much about PocketPCs, but Dell Axims seem to be pretty popular. Check out the HP iPAQs as well if you want to go that route.

The stamp duty in the UK has led to 89 per cent of people in the country not having to pay the tax on houses priced below £250,000 in the last few years. Latest figures from HSBC have shown that almost 9 out of ten first-time buyers have gained an advantage from the stamp duty holiday over the last two years, with only 11 per cent opting for homes above the threshold. And with the stamp duty holiday set to end on March 24th, more people are now looking to take advantage of the break. Peter Dockar, head of mortgages at HSBC, said: "We have seen a 20 per cent increase in approvals for first-time buyer loans in the first six weeks of the year as they rush to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday. Earlier in the week, the Council of Mortgage Lenders said that there had been seven per cent more mortgages approved for first-time buyers in December compared to November.

You have done a wonderful job with the picture of Robert R. Bryants military stone/plaque in the National Memorial Cemetery in Arizona. I was wondering if you would allow me to post your picture on Ancestry.com for our family tree. Of course you would get the credit for the photograph. And if you want me to use a more complete name for your credit just let me know. I really hope you will allow me to use your picture. Thanks, and looking forward to your response.

I would like to ask if you would please transfer management of Raymond's find-a-grave (626973) to me. He is my first cousin (once removed). His father's find-a-grave number is 170224101. I have not yet found the grave for his mother, Nellie, but I'm sure it's in the Phoenix area.
I am wondering if you might know how to get a name "fixed". The last name should actually be Erickson.

Bicente Ochoa
Dear D. & J. Altman,
I am researching my paternal grandfather's WWI army unit, Company B, 355th Infantry, 89th Division. According to the History and Roster of the 355th Infantry, Bicente Ochoa was a member of this unit.
I'm not sure where I'm going with my project, but I'm hoping to eventually publish something. When I do, would it be permissible to use your photograph of the grave of Bicente Ochoa (Find A Grave Memorial# 3990995)?
Thank you!

Of late do you notice some new development milestones in your little one? Does your baby try to grasp things and hold on to them?
As a new mom, it is overwhelming to see your baby cross new milestones of growth and development! Have you heard of the pincer grasp? Your baby may be opening his fists and grasping his toys better or even picking his first bite. Are you excited already about one of your baby's first signs of independence? Read on to know more!
What Is The Meaning Of A Pincer Grasp?
A pincer grasp (1) is a kind of finger hold that your baby will start developing between the age of nine and twelve months. In the pincer grasp, your baby will use the pointer finger and the thumb to squeeze together an object before grasping and picking it up.
Reaching The Pincer Grasp Age:
Your baby already has grasping reflexes from the time of birth. Your baby will react to any sudden or loud noise by grasping his fists. These are the first grasping reflexes of your baby.
Grasping an object with the entire fist will make it difficult for your baby to pick up an object. By the ninth or tenth month, your baby will start understanding how to pick up a thing. He will start bringing his index finger and thumb together in an effort to form a strong grip.
[ Read: Physical Development In Early Childhood ]
When Will My Baby Use The Pincer Grasp?
By the time your baby reaches the sixth or seventh month, he will show a noticeable interest in trying to reach out and grasp. At this age, your baby will start getting ready to practice the pincer grasp. He may use the tips of his fingers to try and hold an object. By the time your baby reaches the ninth or tenth month, he may be able to pick up small objects by holding them between his index finger and thumb. By the time your baby turns one, he will start enjoying and practicing a lot of pincer grasping.
What Will My Baby Do While Using The Pincer Grasp?
The first thing your baby will do when he starts mastering the act of pincer grasp is put everything in his mouth! If you think it is difficult to keep things out of your baby's reach so that he does not put it in his mouth, you will now be facing a Herculean task.
Once your baby starts using the pincer grasp, he will also be in a position to feed himself better. Now your baby will be able to hold a small cereal and place it in his mouth. You can give your baby healthy finger foods like carrots and cereals, now that he can grasp solids food and eat them.
[ Read: Help Baby Learn To Roll Over ]
How Can I Encourage My Baby To Master The Pincer Grip?
As with any other developmental milestone, it is important to remember that all babies grow and develop at their individual pace. While most babies will start developing the pincer grasp near nine months of age, some babies may also reach the milestone after their first birthday. There is no need to worry if your baby is reaching other milestones, at a comfortable pace.
Here are a few activities that can encourage your baby to use the pincer grip:
- Encourage your baby to look at objects in a book and point at them.
- You can also let your baby play with soft dough and make holes in them with his fingers.
- Get toys that your baby can squeeze, push or pull apart. It will encourage your baby to try and hold objects using a fine grip. It will also strengthen the tiny muscles in your baby's hand.
- You can also give your baby a big non-toxic crayon and encourage him to scribble.
As your baby starts trying out the pincer grasp, it means he is ready for some more exploration. He will now want to hold and check out objects. It will aid your baby's learning process. It is also the time when your baby will start feeling more independent, especially if you allow him to eat on his own.
If you have a baby at home, tell us when did he start trying the pincer grasp? Did you use any particular activity to encourage your baby grasp better? What were the special precautions or steps you took to ensure your baby had enough chances to practice the same? Share your experiences in the comments section below to help other moms.

Meet Rob Rob Clarke Investment Executive, Digital Activation DAY TO DAY I work closely with MG OMD's client teams, planning and buying digital media, and negotiating the very best deals for our clients.

Meet Jen Jen Anderson Designer DAY TO DAY I work as a designer in our New Business and Marketing team, making sure that our pitch and marketing visuals are as strong as the content, both inside and out of the agency. JOURNEY I have worked as a designer in fields from Fashion and PR to Education and Real Estate before starting in my current position at MG OMD, the most varied and exciting role that I have worked in thus far. THE MG OMD EXPERIENCE It's such a friendly environment. Everyone is here to create great work and you can feel a true buzz throughout the agency because of that. FAVOURITE PLACE IN LONDON It's so difficult to pick one! Columbia Road Flower Market in the spring has a lovely buzz about it with such a variety of Londoners and tourists alike taking in the atmosphere. I don't think there's really anywhere else in London quite like it.
