Too FarMarch 31, 2005
You know the dogma has gone too far when…
Here's a code sample from someone who obviously misunderstands the fact that "it's okay to use tables for tabular data", and probably spent more time than was necessary coming up with the CSS to make this work:

My Schedule

Event #1
(location)>/span>
May 15, 2005
Event #2
(location)
May 16, 2005
Too bad that someone was me. The CSS that made this work ended up looking like this:
.pseudotable li {
padding-left: 66%;
position: relative;
.pseudotable strong {
width: 33%;
display: block;
.pseudotable .event {
display: block;
width: 29%;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
.pseudotable .location {
display: block;
width: 53px;
position: absolute;
left: 33%;
A misguided waste of time, for sure. You'd think the class name "pseudotable" should have tipped me off that maybe I was going about it the wrong way… and I coded this only last month, too. Here's the much more sane data table I ended up with:

My Schedule

Event #1
(location)
May 15, 2005
Event #2
(location)
May 16, 2005
About the same weight, markup-wise, but compare the resulting CSS:
table {
border: none;
td {
width: 33%;
td.location {
width: 53px;
That's a few hours of my life I'll never see back. Gosh.
as a few commenters have rightly pointed out, there's more that can and should be done with a data table like this one. You could go as far as something like the following if you're so inclined:

My Schedule

Locations

And there are even more elements and attributes to explore, like
colgroup, and
CSS even saved my marriage! And I don't even have a wife :D
Good thoughts.
Yeah, it's definitely right to use a table when appropriate. And it's always important to be on the lookout for unforeseen advantages to a particular approach.
For example (sorry to css-d folks who've already seen this), even though a calendar is best done with a table, when you use a list, you get a neat rollover property for free: http://uwmike.com/layout/calendar/ie5.php
This reminds me of the hCalendar microformat ( http://developers.technorati.com/wiki/hCalendar ) , which seems to use very similar HTML to your first 'pseuodtable' example.
At least you didn't waste as much time as I did…
Hey, we learn from our mistakes, right? :)
I appreciate your transparency. Helps make for an environment where people can share their blunders (all of mine are on my web site now filed under 'achievements') :-P
Ouch. I've done the same thing too.
"Important write-up."
no it's not. People confuse CSS and tables so much it is just sad.
Not that it's a major issue but you could use css's:
border-spacing: 0;
instead of html's
"Not that it's a major issue but you could use css's: border-spacing: 0; instead of html's cellpadding="0""
I was wondering if that would come up. You can, but you probably shouldn't yet.
Key words: Not supported by IE.
Not to slight Mike Purvis, but I did manage to take his example and translate it over to a table-based layout for the calendar and still have the mouseover divs show as they did for the ordered-list.
Strangely, I probably would have tried with lists…
Charles Martin: The advantage of the list (with the rollovers) is that on a non-css agent, it unravels into a clean agenda. Whereas the table has huge blobs of text in the cells, so it would be unusable on a phone… Also, the list-based calendar would lend itself better to a style-switcher for different formats, if you're into that.
But yeah, the table<->css issue is not always as clear-cut as it looks.
I did the exact same thing a year or so back. I was using a PHPNuke CMS and building my own CSS-layout theme for it. I was very much in the "tables are the devil" mindset that you describe and while I was very pleased with having torn apart PHPNuke's default table layout, half a dozen pages listing tabular summaries were suddenly in lists…
Worse still, each "column" in my list had a blatent separator (paranthesese, square brakets, a hypen or two, maybe a colon). About a week or two later I looked at it, saw how silly it was and went to much effort to swap it back.
I think this is the kind of lesson that comes to all of us who live standards. Maybe it's important to vary the kinds of bleeding edge techniques we use (tableless layout was once that, of course). I'm convinced that spending so much time working only to destroy
s gave me some kind of CSS tunnel vision.
This same kind of "whoops, too far" could so easily happen with the newly beloved 'creative license' we have for definition lists too. I've sat with a colleague at work working out the XHTML structure for his Blog's sidebar and we've watched the slow trainwreck of slowly but surely transforming the entire navigation structure into a nest of
s. We paused for a moment to survey the wreckage.
"Nah", we said.
Mike, very good point. I very rarely consider a non-CSS view of the page and it does degrade quite nicely. Hrm… now I'm considering this format more than the table just for that reason. I just wanted to see if there was some specific advantage visually and functionally between them. Not really, but your version is much better from a style-less perspective. Much to learn, much to learn.
Hmm, that information looks more like a definition list? - with more information such as "date" in the definition title, which could be hidden in the CSS. However, this adds a lot more unrequired content. But, surely if it's tabular data it should have table headers? That span the columns?
Am I the only one who can never get table styles to look the same in every browser? I usually prefer to lay tabular data out with spans and CSS in spite of the extra styles required. At least I'm in control that way, instead of the mysterious workings of  borders and spacing.
I still see nothing wrong with tables, even for normal page layouts, etc. Of course, I see that all that slicing in Imageready and stuff cannot be made worse, but normal "header, content, sidebar, footer" cells don't hurt at all.
I falled prey once to designing a calendar using HTML lists and CSS to mimic a table-like layout. It wasn't until I finished it that I realized the whole absurdity of it all.
Same can be said for data organized in a tabular way - there's no use in reinventing the wheel. That's what HTML tables are for.
Rest assured, lesson learned.
Although the structure still looks a little bare for a data table.
Your little problem reminded me of a web app that my company payed for. The programmers who developed it utilized about 200 different stylesheets and didn't use one table for any data. My buddy is pulling his hair trying to even attempt adjustments to it. I feel for him, he got handed crap.
You know after reading 3 books on Accessibility, I think the misunderstanding out there is that you can't use tables at all, no matter if it's for data or layout.
This simply isn't true. Sure pure CSS layouts help to alieviate some of the "Functional and Situational Limitations" addressed in Accessibility and help bring a finer separation to presentation and structure, but it is also not the end all answer. Tables are still ok, as long as they are done CORRECTLY, making sure Layout tables linearize correctly for semantics and document understandability or that Data tables are marked up correctly so that data still makes sense and is associated with the correct headers when read or displayed linearly. But in the end of course it truly depends on who your target audience is and on what types of devices you want them to be able to access your site on. This is where pure CSS layouts have an advantage/but still some disadvantage.
Of course that leads to another problem, Usability. Sure you can design 1 site to be viewable on a 21 inch monitor as well as a 5 inch PDA, but is it usable? Most likely not, all that data and info being squeezed into a smaller, less viewable screen is sure to bring about many usability and accessibility problems (refer back to "Situational Limitations").
I like this post. It's time for the CSS zealotry to ease up, for the web standards folks to take a collective deep breath, and for everyone to consider what the right code for the job is rather than what the "fashionable" approach is.
Dave, I'm sure no one would hold that against you. I once remodeled an entire kitchen using nothing but CSS. It looked great, but there are easier/more appropriate ways.
Important write-up.
I guess the 'web-standards-drive' shouldn't have used the phrase "table-less" but something like "inline-style-less" or "minimal-styling". As you also have people putting all their style inline - all the time - and then proclame with a straight face that they "get" webstandards. Oh well.
But don't worry Dave, this code doesn't mean your already gone dement, think of it as a "senior-moment". (Quick Canadian old folks joke my 2nd cousin twice removed told me)
My addictive personality has gotten me into similiar crunches. Lately, I've been working a 12-step program to break my intense desire to use CSS for everything.
What is this, CSS Confessional? ;)
We all have our moments when we get a little carried away. Sometimes we just need to get back to the basics. :)
Chalk that up to practice, not that you need practice…how about, if you can do it, you might as well.
<sigh> Idiot!
(no, not a slight towards Dave… just think based on that last line in his post that he'd just recently seen "Napoleon Dynamite")
Isn't "event" the header of the row? Isn't the STRONG element presentational this way?
After having done the entire CSS for the Symphony UI, I've learnt a thing or two about tables and CSS (doing them the semantic/accessible thead, tfoot, tbody way of course). You might find it helpful to know that you can get rid of that ugly cellspacing attribute and instead use:
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
Keep the markup free from stylistic information, since that's our whole purpose with using CSS right?
By the way, the technique I mentioned above does work in IE6 and IE5.x, as it's the intended way CSS handles this situation. I think.
I used similar thing once - h3 and span as two column table.
Why didn't you try the display: table-*; properties? They work in everything by IE, so it would have at least reduced your CSS. However, you're right the whole attempt was a waste of time.
It's really just the opposite of mixing the presentation layer with the structure and semantics layer. The semantics belongs with the structure, not with the presentation where you tried to put it.
Tables as well as lists are presentational elements. Yes, I am serious about this. But what drives my sick and twisted mind to such a statement?
Well, it´s pretty easy. When you think of a list, you always imagine one column with an arbitrary amount of rows. Of course you can use CSS to position every item differently and way out of context but in the end, a list is a bunch of rows. Nothing more, nothing less.
What about tables? If you take a look at them, they are nothing else but a bunch of side-by-side lists. You could also say they are two-dimensional lists because the semantics apply to both axis, although the meaning is different for each case.
Now what if we had an element called "set"? Or "enum"? Or "collection"? All of those have no dimensional limitation implied nor are they strictly associated to a specific presentation. Every set or enum or collection could contain an arbitrary amount of subsets or sub-enums or sub-collections.
Now you might ask: But what about the semantics? Well, you don´t gain any but you don´t lose any either. A table row is a row and no machine is able to tell you what the data actually means. Same applies for table headers or footers. A parser will know which head and foot belong to which column, but they still cannot tell anything about the actual meaning. So be free to add a header to a set or maybe a set description and you have the same possibilities without the separation into different elements. If you still aren´t convinced, ask yourself following question: Why don´t I simply define a one-column-table instead of a list?
So what am I trying to say anyway? Don´t use list and tables? But what to use instead of?
Well, nothing. Keep it as it is. Why? Because there is no alternative. The whole point is to explain why I think that there is a huge gap and misconseption in (X)HTML about sets and collections as well as the public understanding of presentation. Further, I have no idea how one could present a four-dimensional set and above, but this still doesn't mean I cannot define one. Just think about arrays in programing languages.
For a while I searched for a way to present forms without tables, lining up labels and inputs with all kinds of floats and spans. Then I had a Dave "what the heck am I doing" moment, kicked my own butt, and went back to using 2 column tables for forms.
Since then I've lost 35 pounds, my salary doubled to 700k per annum and and beautiful women throw themselves at me constantly.
See, tables aren't so bad in the right context. I have to go now, I'm in the middle of a bike race.
(I bet nobody gets that.)
To all those people above saying things like "I usually prefer to lay tabular data out with spans and CSS": TABLES ARE FOR TABULAR DATA. That's why it's called tabular! Semantics, accessibility, etc, etc.
And I'm sure you meant to close those  elements in your example with 	 and not 	.
For accessibility why don't you consider the following:
- summary attribute on table
- a thead tag with a row of th's (you can hide this from visual browsers if you need to by moving it off the screen with CSS, so screen readers can still read it out)
- stick some scope's in the th's of scope="col" and for those events, make that first td have a scope of row.
That way your table will be semantically more useful. I think jaws will soon be supporting some of this. Even if it doesn't, it is all about future compatibility, right?
If you and other prominent people don't do it, no one will, and screen readers won't support it…!
Hey I'm surprised the CSS nazi's didn't get you for that one!
I like your openness - a lot of people would've just swept that under the carpet.
Following your example we should all ask ourselves daily:
"Does the way I am coding this provide a real benefit or am I doing it this way just because I can".
Trouble is developers get bored easily and we do stuff for the challenge sometimes, even if it provides little towards the real goals of the project!
I am one of the CSS Nazi's that Stuart mentioned.
Don't worry Dave, we are definitely coming to get you…
Ahh Dave, no April Fools fun? Sure you could throw something together and surpise us all?
Very fun.
Semantically speaking your

Would you also not want to assign a class to the cell that have dates that you are ing? It just seems strange that you have Event,Location and strong.
Regarding the border-spacing thing,
Is border-spacing: 0px; not equivalent to border-collapse: collapse;, which DOES work in IE?
*upon actually looking at the spec* Okay, not totally equivalent, but almost certainly acceptable?
BTW, for the people going schizo about the cellspacing attribute… when was the last time you made a table with cellspacing != 0?
Oh, ok. So if all your tables have cellspacing=0, and attribute is kosher even under the latest and greatest XHTML doctype (with whipped on top!), then no big deal, eh?
Dave, I am a big believer of not using tables.. why must you use them? They are awfully dreadful in the first place and they tend to screw everything up.
Sorry for the loss of useful hours, I find myself coding many things just to later see the delete button being clicked.
Curious Dave, what exactly made you think that a list was the solution initially? Was it just that you didn't 'think' at the time or was there actually a 'reason' why you walked the list path instead of the table one?
Re Tom's
"For a while I searched for a way to present forms without tables, lining up labels and inputs with all kinds of floats and spans. Then I had a Dave "what the heck am I doing" moment, kicked my own butt, and went back to using 2 column tables for forms."
Forms are not tabular data, thus should not be written as tables. Very nice, functional, valid forms can be designed with simple, straightforward CSS. Example: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/practicalcss/ (scroll down to "FORM(s) and Function").
That ALA article is terribly outdated.

I think putting putting forms in tables is much better then that example.
Sam Ghods:
Check out Cameron Adams' form styling wizardry:
No tables there, and he demonstrates the advantages of it.
One day CSS will have typographic grids, so that we can again have layouts up to the creative standards we had with tables.
I'm not saying tables were a good thing for layout, but the grid structure they provided *was*. I've read so many hacks and workarounds to get CSS and semantic markup to produce layouts that would be simple if an underlying grid was available. Setting guidelines and grid-points in a stylesheet would be straightforward and should help free us from the hell of float-itis.
All we need is CSS 6
Most bizarre example of table aversion I've come across was my online phone-bill [a certain UK cellphone company].
Hundreds of lines of data, [time, date, duration, cost etc for each call] all of it tabular, all of it assembled to look like a table with CSS [divs, spans and the weirdest class names]. Unreadable if you changed the font size even slightly.
Apart from that, a real tour de force.
Interesting issue, of course - nowadays some people think that tables must never be used. Together with the "divitis" and "spanitis" (whatever) phenomena, this is one of the new problems we face.
One other thing I want to throw into this debate is the situation where you want an entire row of a table to be clickable. This can be accomplished with a splash of Javascript, of course, but sometimes a list can be an elegant solution.
The issue becomes even more muddled when you start dealing with a table that has only two columns, since that's starting into definition-list territory. I have an example that I started out doing with a table, and then ultimately switched to a list, for the sake of row-highlight and row-clickability.

Minimum Pricing on Alcohol
7 comments:
- Phil M said...
The politicians have been talking about this for a couple of years up here (Scotland). In some cases it's a good idea (especially alcopops, which are directed at the youth market) but as usual will penalise the normal, well behaved members of society. It would be far more useful to enforce the existing laws, drunk and disorderly, try to stop premises serving the really drunk.
Then we also have this nonsense of stopping the display of tobacco products. Even more bull to protect society from itself

It's got to be a cash-grab. Higher prices mean more tax. No-one can seriously think adding pennies will make a difference...can they?

I do think they need to put an end to cheap booze and alco pops. I work in a supermarket that sells huge bottles of cider at silly prices, and it sells, often to kids who send someone older in to buy it. Booze needs to be prohibitively expensive, or done away with altogether!

One of the problems we see in our local town center are young people (18-25) who get stupidly drunk at home and then head to a nightclub already smashed. The fights and pavement pizza are often happening before the clubs open when the bouncers refuse entry.
The reason they do this (more than people did 20 years ago) is that pubs are now taxed so highly (and have other red-tape costs) that few people can afford to have their pre-club drinks in pubs. This means that instead of teenagers drinking beer under the watchful eye of a landlord they get smashed on supermarket vodka at home.
Making supermarket vodka slightly more expensive isn't the answer. They have tried this in norway/sweden etc and it not only means that people import booze but they distil evil stuff in their sheds that makes them go blind.
It would make MUCH more sense to remove the tax that you pay on beer in pubs. This would encourage sensible drinking in a mixed, social environment. Teenagers are much less likely to go crazy if surrounded by older drinkers.

A wonderful, at times coherent, rant! Seriously, I admire your passion!
The problem is that political parties of all colours want more than anything to be in power and so are chasing the middle swing voters who decide elections. Therefore all parties are virtually indistinguishable these days. Minimum pricing is probably originally a labour policy but it is a populist one and the Tories would not miss out on a good old chance to "dog whistle" to the middle ground.
Minimum pricing? Meh. It isn't going to affect anything I drink, apart from the fact that pubs, etc. will find it as an excuse to raise prices. It won't, as you rightly point out, stop the White Lightning drinkers either. But it will show how the Tories are tough on drunkenness and tough on the causes of drunkenness - and stop, for a while anyway, middle voters slipping away to labour.

Phil, the problem here is that it's more legislation that isn't required if the laws we have are enforced - a bit like Leveson really. Whether alcopops or malt whisky - if you're not allowed to drink alcohol you're not allowed to drink alcohol. It's precisely the kind of social engineering the Conservatives criticised when Labour was in power.
It usually is a cash grab, Jez, but with a conscience salve of 'but we're doing good!'
Shaun, they pretend to serve the people by bowing to pressure from lobbyists and charities they themselves pay.
Where do you stop legislating for the lowest common denominator, Larry? Perhaps we should have minimum pricing on fat, sugar, the price of a car, sports equipment... Take away people's responsibility and you make them more irresponsible.
Quite right robann - prime example of unintended consequences. But the people who push for minimum pricing as one step on the road to banning alcohol completely, because bansturbators never stop, are probably quite glad about that.
Paul, it seems a great way to shoot yourself in the foot with the middle swing voters, since many of them probably go for the 3 for 2 at Tescos.
And of course, let's not forget: the amount people drink has been steadily on the decline anyway. We don't need this legislation. What we need is a government getting a proper grip on finances and encouraging businesses to make money. This is the opposite: both killing trade and increasing bureaucracy.

I know, I know it's a physical possibility that actual blood can be oozing out from Nyan cat because if the body is made up of a pop tart, that means the face, legs, and tail, have to be made up of the same concept. Anyways, I hope you guys have fun as and be sure to let me know if this is exactly how you pictured a zombie version of Nyan cat.

Zalman ZM-VE200 portable virtual Rom drive
It's an external HDD! It's an optical drive! It's ISO heaven!
Geek Treat of the Week Zalman's external hard drive case is a bit different from most. Yes, it works like a standard drive case - slip in a 2.5in hard drive or SSD, and hook up the extra storage to your computer over USB 2.0 or eSata - the ZM-VE200 supports both.
It's a nice-looking unit too, though - again - that's not uncommon. Ditto the small LCD that gives you a drive status readout.
An attractive external drive case
No, the trick up the ZM-VE200's aluminium sleve is an optical storage mode that allows the host to mount it as a CD or DVD.
Quite a bit of software - operating systems in particular, but also utilities that need to boot their own OS to run - is delivered in the form of ISOs. These are images intended to be burned to an optical disc.
Now, if you're a netbook user, you may not have an optical drive, certainly not a built-in unit. Even if you do, or your notebook has one, you'll want to re-create a new disc with every update.
USB 2.0 and eSata connections are supported
Burning takes time too, either because you select a low speed to avoid the risk of creating a coaster - a dead disc - or you go a at max speed and churn through blanks DVDs until you get one that passes the verification test.
The ZM-VE200 lets you store all your ISOs in one place, and adding a new one is just a matter of copying it over into its
_iso folder when it's in HDD mode.
The case has a jogdial on the left side. Press it up while you connect the drive and the unit will start up in ODD mode. You then use the dial to flip through the list of ISOs on the drive, pushing the wheel in to select the one you want. It then mounts on your desktop, or is ready for you to boot your machine from.
Flip the jogdial to select your chosen ISO
You can't really do it on the fly - selecting the right ISO from a long list will take you longer than the average Bios bootloader allows you. So select the right one, then restart your machine and you'll get it on the boot list.
I was soon starting my Asus netbook in Jolicloud, Ubuntu - and a range of other ISO-stored operating systems I downloaded to try. And not a singled DVD was required. Or multiple USB sticks.
Incidentally, out of the box, the firmware requires an NTFS-formatted drive to be inserted, but Zalman has separate firmwire that supports FAT32 and ExFat. Until you can make the change, using a PC, the ZM-VE200's not too useful for Mac users.
Drive data
There are flaws: it doesn't remember your ISO choice after the power's cut. And there's no way to reverse your choice other than powering down and re-selecting.
Still, it provides a way of shuffling multiple ISOs in an easy way, and is only £33 before you add your storage - so you can pick as much or as little as you require. ®

Hood, an outside hitter, led the Judges in kills this season, averaging 3.60 kills per set, third in the UAA. She also finished third on the squad with a .198 hitting percentage. Hood, who started 31 of 32 matches this season, reached double figures in kills 26 times and had four 20-kill performances. Hood led the Judges in kills 29 times and recorded two double-doubles – Sept. 12 at Endicott College (15 kills, 12 digs) and Oct. 20 at Smith (15 kills, 11 digs). She was named to the All-Tournament team at the 2012 Hall of Fame Invitational at Smith and Mount Holyoke on Oct. 19-20. Hood's 3.42 kills-per-set average over her first two seasons currently ranks third on Brandeis's all-time list, while her 3.60 average this season is fifth in school history.
Bernaiche, a libero, was Brandeis's top defensive player in 2012, averaging 4.85 digs per set, ranking her sixth in the UAA. A skilled server, Bernaiche also tied for the Judges' lead with 33 service aces, with her 0.28 aces per set ranking 17th in the UAA. Bernaiche earned on All-Tournament accolade this season, at the Western Connecticut State University Invitational that opened the campaign on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. She led Brandeis in digs in every match but three this season, reaching double figures in 30 of 32 matches and 20 or more digs 12 times. Bernaiche's 528 digs this season are currently the second-highest total in school history, while her 4.85 digs-per-set for this season and 4.58 career average currently top the Judges' career list.
In head coach Michelle Kim's ninth season at the helm, the Brandeis volleyball team ended its regular season with a 19-13 record, 1-8 and seventh place in the UAA. They doubled their win total from 2011 and reached the postseason for the first time since 2009, earning the top seed in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) New England Division III tournament. They will host 12-12 Albertus Magnus College in a quarterfinal match on Friday, Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m., a match postponed from Nov. 7 because of inclement weather. The semifinals and finals will be hosted at the site of the highest remaining seed on Saturday, Nov. 10. If Brandeis advances, the semifinals will be played at 10 a.m. and noon, with the finals to follow at 2 p.m.
Hood is a 2011 graduate of Albuquerque Academy. She is the daughter of James and Jacqueline Hood, Albuquerque, N.M.
Bernaiche is a 2011 graduate of Southington High School. She is the daughter of Joseph and Jennifer Bernaiche, Plantsville, Conn.

Fossil Ridge captures High Plains Hockey League championship
Kudos to the Fossil Ridge High School boys hockey team, 2011 Tier I champions of the High Plains Hockey League. The SaberCats, who include DU-bound forward Tyler Pham, defeated Chaparral 4-0 in Sunday's championship game at the Apex Center Ice Arena in Arvada.
Fossil Ridge went 10-4-1 and finished fourth in the regular season before going 3-0 in the playoffs, including a 5-3 upset of defending league champion and No. 1-seeded Arapahoe in the semifinals on Saturday. Pham didn't score in the last two games but finished with nine goals and 13 points in just five games.
The HPHL is the spring club-hockey league that allows triple-A players with college and pro dreams to play for their schools after their regular seasons, and pound for pound, the Tier 1 division is superior to the hockey being sanctioned by the Colorado High School Activities Association. The HPHL also offers Tier II and Tier III divisions. ThunderRidge won the girls' Tier 1 crown.

Image maps are images that have several links geographically mapped onto it.
For example, an image map of a photograph of the Beatles might enable you to click on Ringo and receive a page describing his drumming abilities. Click on George, and receive a file about how Eric Clapton stole Patti Boyd. One thing to remember about image maps is that they are a purely visual form of navigation, so if your visitor isn't loading the images, they'll never know where to click. For this reason, you should always include text links under the images as an alternative way to navigate.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Yet another Linux success story; From the article:
The Philippine government's official weather service, PAGASA, has replaced its SGI supercomputer with a clustered Debian Linux system that can process information vital to protection against typhoons, floods, droughts, tsunamis and other wild weather conditions at a fraction of the cost.
The cluster includes eight PCs running as a single node, connected via a gigabit switch, each with dual 64-bit Intel Xeon processors running the Debian Linux OS.

Jeff Bridich sees no point in predicting when Rockies will turn corner
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — One of the biggest questions I had coming into spring training was this: What, exactly, is the Rockies' overall plan under general manager Jeff Bridich, who's now entering his second season?
We've seen them stock the bullpen with some good relievers who will take them through the next two seasons. We've seen them acquire a lot of young, powerful arms that could pay dividends somewhere down the road.
But what about right here, right now? I'm on the record as saying I don't see this team being competitive in the National League West until 2017 — at the earliest.
Monday, at the annual Cactus League media day, the subject of the Rockies' blueprint became a major topic of discussion. I'm working on that topic for a future story, but I thought this response from Bridich was interesting.
Asked why he has not publicly stated when be believes the Rockies might actually have a window of opportunity to begin winning, Bridich replied:
"What's the point? Why limit ourselves? So if I were to come out and say something that's pleasing to the ear of you, or a fan here or a fan there, and I say, 'We're not going to win for X.' So what? What's the point of doing that?
It's about people. It's about process. And it's about how well can we do that together. If a lot of that or most of that comes together for us this year, wonderful. Why say something where it's got to happen X number of months and years in the future, where really a lot of good things can happen this year. I just don't see the point."
Here is my translation: I believe Bridich and company believe they have a much more realistic chance to win next year or the year after. However, he has a lot more faith that good things can happen in 2016 than the rest of us do.

Bhat was raised on a sheep farm in New Jersey by her parents, who were both artists. She ventured to New York at the age of 18 to study art.
"I always knew I wanted to come to New York," Bhat said.
With in-home and on-site lessons in printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpting and more, Bhat said Private Picassos is willing to "tailor to students," meaning the private classes are flexible with content and schedule.
"We customize to each client," she said.
Her students range in age from as young as 18 months to adults, but she says her average client is in the age range of two to eight years old.
"I love working with kids," Bhat said.
She says young children are more likely to be creative and explore, and do not worry about making mistakes and being wrong or right.
"Older kids put pressure on themselves," she explained.
Bhat said her art school teaches lessons that will help in other aspects of life as well.
"It's a great outlet," she explained. "It helps them become stronger adults."
Bhat says the best thing about her art school is the self-confidence it gives her students.
"My favorite moment is when my students are quietly working," she said about getting them "in the zone."

The majority of so-called Internet experts are saying smartphones will beat out traditional forms of payment by the decade's end. Is our culture moving toward that behavior?
Do you already use your smartphone to make daily purchases instead of cash, debit, or credit cards? If so, you're on your way to contributing to the study that believes by 2020, mobile payment will make all other payment methods obsolete.
Seeking the opinions of 1,021 "Internet experts and other Internet users," the findings come from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project and Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center. This research concluded that 21 percent of smartphone users say they already use their smartphones to pay the bill and two out of three respondents believe people will begin migrating toward the method by the decade's end. The survey considers Near Field Communication (NFC) such as the Google Wallet technology and the Square mobile card reader as forms of mobile payment.
"By 2020, most people will have embraced and fully adopted the use of smart-device swiping for purchases they make, nearly eliminating the need for cash or credit cards. People will come to trust and rely on personal hardware and software for handling monetary transactions over the Internet and in stores. Cash and credit cards will have mostly disappeared from many of the transactions that occur in advanced countries," the survey statement said. About 65 percent of people agreed, though 33 percent noted they do not trust devices using NFC because it will not allow people to physically swipe or enter their information in for maximum safety and reliability. With the recentGoogle Wallet hack, it's not surprising why.
The rise of mobile payments is definitely attributed to more smartphones being made and sold, slowing easing out the old days of app-less devices. Paying with a device you already use for everything else consolidates all your belonging in one place so you don't have to carry around a bunch of items in the future to serve various purposes.
"There is nothing more imaginary than a monetary system," survey respondent and Harvard University professor Susan Crawford wrote. "The idea that we solemnly hand around printed slips of paper in exchange for food and water shows just how trusting and fond of patterned behavior we human beings are."
Still, with one third of correspondents still wary of mobile payments overtaking past patterns, there are still some security fears floating about the idea. Especially with NFC devices which can access your personal information through just several taps, perhaps people are not ready to make the complete move toward a smartphone domination. Losing your wallet is traumatic enough, but losing a phone which has your bank accounts and the rest of your life in would be a bigger devastation.
What about you? Would you prefer to use your smartphone as the new way to pay, or do you prefer to stick with cash and cards?

Tropical bully Irene is strafing the Eastern Seaboard with semi-predictable consequences. But let's be honest, it's not gonna be pretty. Palm trees (resident where ladies like Irene typically vacation) are built to sway in the breeze and bend in the wind. But the oaks of the mid-Atlantic and North... well, they slam through the center of your house.
As residents prepare for the storm it's the typical stuff flooding the mind: get batteries, flashlights, plywood, water, ice, prophylactics ... things one needs ahead of and during the storm. Often people don't look to the other side -- when the wind is gone but so is the power and other services we rely on.
There are several resources to look to for help: FEMA, where you can find an aggregation of services like ready.gov and disaster assistance.gov and of course the official storm updates.
But entrepreneurs are providing their own menu of options. Services lke Zaarly and TaskRabbit, Localmind, Goshi and Grabio all provide a similar twist on using your smartphone to query the ether for assistance of some kind or another. All cool. And what about when it's an urgent need (like after a hurricane)? This is when you need reliability in someone right away -- and right nearby.
A startup nearly out of the gates called Urgnt.ly is seeking to do just that. (Disclosure: I am an advisor to Urgnt.ly). The company is teaming up with service providers and contractors to pair people with urgent needs with those who can meet them. Pipe burst and you need it fixed now? Ping Urgnt.ly through the iPhone / Android app, Web, Twitter or text and providers in a certain geo-radius will have an opportunity to respond and swing by. Lots of plumbers have some downtime between gigs and would love your business -- for them it's serendipity.
Granted, in the aftermath of a storm it's likely the competition for assistance, Q&A, contractors and service providers will be steep. I'm sure Zaarly will be ripe with people messaging "my kingdom for a pizza and cold beer, delivered..." Localminders will be asking for updates and what's happening here and there. Twitter will be Twitter.
It doesn't take a hurricane or natural disaster to know people will flock to mobile technology to commune and find help. That's been proved. Question now is whether regular people and established companies are ready to respond to all those cries for help with plumbing disasters, leaky roofs and ... pizzas.
Calling all Hyperlocals: The first and only conference to focus on the business of hyperlocal services is coming soon. Details here.

Fracking in California takes less water
In Pennsylvania, the controversial practice of fracking can consume 4.5 million gallons of water per well, the liquid pumped deep underground to crack rocks that contain natural gas.
In parts of Texas, fracking a well often takes 6 million gallons.
But in California, where fracking is starting to spread, the average amount of water involved is just 164,000 gallons, according to industry data.
Hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, has triggered a boom in energy production across the United States and sparked a fierce public debate that revolves around water. Critics say fracking can ruin drinking water supplies when badly built wells allow chemicals used in the process to seep into aquifers. The disposal wells that take used fracking water and bury it far beneath the earth's surface can trigger earthquakes.
And in arid Western states, the sheer volume of water that fracking requires alarms farmers and environmentalists alike.
"Here in California, as much as people worry about contamination, water supply and induced seismicity are at the front of people's minds," said Damon Nagami, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council environmental group. "The lack of data on these issues is freaking people out."
Less water used in California
But so far, fracking in California appears to take far less water than it does elsewhere.
At the request of state regulators, some of the companies fracking here have started posting information about their wells on FracFocus.org, a website created by the oil and gas industry to allay public fears about the practice. The site contains information on 364 fracked wells in the Golden State, most of them in the southern San Joaquin Valley. (For comparison, FracFocus lists 1,940 fracked wells in Pennsylvania - ground zero of the fracking boom.)
The average amount of water used in California wells has been 164,000 gallons, according to the Western States Petroleum Association, an oil industry lobbying group that compiled a spreadsheet of the California data. Some fracked wells here require significantly more - 300,000 gallons and up - while others consume substantially less. A cluster of fracked wells near Sutter Buttes in the Sacramento Valley used between 10,000 gallons and 35,000 gallons apiece.
An Olympic-size swimming pool contains about 660,000 gallons of water. A golf course typically uses around 300,000 gallons per day.
"We're talking about pretty small-scale operations relative to what we've seen in the rest of the country," said Tupper Hull, the petroleum association's spokesman.
Why the difference? Geology.
In much of the United States, fracking has been combined with horizontal drilling to unlock natural gas or oil within shale rock. Imagine drilling straight down for 5,000 or 6,000 feet, then taking a right turn. Water is pumped into the well at high pressure, mixed with sand and a small amount of chemicals (usually about 1 percent of the mix). The pressure cracks the shale, and the sand props those cracks open, allowing oil or gas to escape.
In California, most fracking has involved vertical wells. Vertical wells have less pipe length than horizontal wells of equal depth, because they don't veer off sideways at the bottom. They therefore require less water for fracking.
So far, horizontal wells don't appear to work well in the state's Monterey Shale formation, estimated by the federal government to be the country's largest oil shale deposit. The rock layers are too tilted and folded by relentless seismic pressure to lend themselves to horizontal wells.
"California has been folded and faulted quite a bit," said Tim Kustic, head of the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources, which oversees drilling. "Depending on where you are, the same formation can be deep in one spot and outcropping on the surface 100 miles away. If it's tilting, horizontal may not be the best way to go."
Oil, not gas, the goal
In addition, most fracking in California is for oil, not natural gas. And the oil typically resides in rock formations that contain large amounts of brackish water, Kustic said. Since the pores within the rock are already full of liquid, drillers don't need to add much to increase the pressure.
"You contrast that with shale gas - the reservoir is quite dry," he said.
The amount of water pumped into a fracked well does not appear to have a direct link to the risk of contaminating drinking water supplies. Most of the cases of tainted water blamed on fracking have involved chemicals and methane migrating along the exterior of poorly constructed wells - a problem that can happen whether the well has been fracked or not.
Although the use of fracking appears to be growing in California, it hasn't taken off the way it did in Pennsylvania, Texas and North Dakota. The Monterey Shale is estimated to hold up to 15.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil, giving companies a powerful incentive to keep drilling. The country uses about 19 million barrels per day.
The amount of water needed for fracking could grow if the practice becomes widespread, or if horizontal drilling proves more useful here than it has to date. At this point, however, the amount of water involved appears relatively small.
"What folks are trying to figure out in California, particularly with the Monterey Shale, is what technology is best to use to harness that resource - and that's still going on," said Rock Zierman, chief executive officer of the California Independent Petroleum Association.

text: Men's Lacrosse 3/18/2016 5:47:36 AM RECAP: Cannons win second straight 16-12 against Lizards After a three game stretch of road games ended last week with a win over Charlotte, the now 3-5 Boston Cannons returned home to face off with the 3-5 New York Lizards. With playoff berths for both teams just slightly out of reach, the showdown between the two squads in Boston Saturday represented more than just another tally in the win column. The Lizards got off to a quick start notching two goals in the first quarter to jump out to an early lead. Goals by Mark Matthews and David Earl gave the Lizards the 2-0 advantage, but a solid performance at the faceoff "X" by Chris Eck was able to slow down New York's potent attack. The Cannons were able to respond with highlight reel goals by Mike Stone and rookie Cam Flint to cut down the Lizard's lead and fought back to end the first quarter with a 4-3 deficit. The matchup between Eck and opposing faceoff specialist Greg Gurelian proved to be pivotal, and early on in the game it was clear that the battle for possession would ultimately determine the outcome of the game. It did, Eck was able to collect 17 of the 30 draws taken, barely an advantage over Gurelian who currently ranks first in MLL in faceoff percentage. Boston began the second quarter with a strong offensive presence. Matt Poskay led the quarter's scoring with a right handed goal 4:31 into the period, and then again two minutes later on a man-up opportunity to take a 5-4 lead. Paul Rabil was then able to extend the Cannon's lead to two off of a split dodge that beat Lizards's goaltender Drew Adams. Rob Pannell then responded for New York scoring an unassisted goal, but the lead was brought back to two as Rabil put another high to low shot past Adams with 1:20 remaining in the half. After capturing the lead towards the end of the first half, Boston never looked back. The Lizards were never able to tie the game after the intermission, and despite high quality performances by attackmen Pannell and Matthews, New York was never able to solve the puzzle that was Cannon's goaltender Jordan Burke. Burke, who had not lived up to his superb play of the previous two years to this point in 2013, returned to his best form stopping 16 of 27 Lizard shots on cage. 9:49 into the third quarter Poskay netted his third goal of the evening giving the Cannons a comfortable lead at five goals. The perennial All-Star and Cannon legend was chosen as the player of the game, and finished the evening with a game-high five goals. Boston's offense was led by all the usual suspects with Rabil, Poskay, and Kevin Buchannan all tallying five points, however, it was high caliber play by the Cannons' corps of rookies that stood out. UMASS product Will Manny led the way for the young guns with five points, with Flint and Scott Ratliff also making appearances on the score sheet. The Lizards were led offensively by Pannell and Max Seibald, each of whom racked up five points in the contest. Despite their best efforts and a handful of highlight reel goals, poorly times turnovers in crucial spots, and inability to convert on late-game man up situations, proved to be the factor that prevented this game from being close in the end. The Cannons will travel to Ohio next Saturday to face-off with the Machine at 7 P.M. ET on ESPN3. The Lizards return to New York State, but travel to take on the Rochester Rattlers Sunday afternoon at 3 P.M. ET, a game which can be viewed nationally on CBS Sports Network. Game Notes: • John Tucker's record as Boston head coach is now 2-0 • Lizards head-to-head winning streak with Boston was snapped, New York had won the previous four contests. • The showdown between the top two faceoff men in the league went to Eck, a surprise considering the success of Gurenlian so far in 2013. • Rabil is now three points away from tying the all-time Cannons' points record. • Will Manny and Cam Flint had their first break-out performances as members of the Cannons (7 totals points). • Max Seibald took sole possession of sixth place on the Lizards all-time scoring list.

Fortem | Dang Vo & Yen Vy Vo
La bouteille Fortem se distingue par son capuchon unique qui consiste en un morceau de tuyauterie en cuivre. Il attire immédiatement l'attention des consommateurs et évoque la masculinité. Sur la même note, le nom de la marque Fortem signifie «fort» en latin. Créé à partir des lettres "f" et "t", le logo simplement gras reflète non seulement l'aspect viril, mais aussi les formes de la tuyauterie.
I never go in the luxury design in my school themes. I often find that it is most of the time based on excess and therefore unsustainable. Nevertheless, I asked my students this year to find an object and transform it into luxury. The object could be anything that is opposite of luxury. The design would be the bridge between the unusual material of the object and the product. Together, the visual images and choice of material should portrait a complete personality of the product.
Fortem bottle stands out with its unique cap, a piece of copper piping. The cap instantly grabs the consummers' attention and provokes masculinity. On the same note, the brand name Fortem means "strong" in Latin. Created from the "f" and "t", the clean and bold logo type reflects not only the manly look and feel but also the fluidity of the piping.

Time to Re-Joyce
The title says it all. How can you not even consider any act of rejoicing for the pure fact that Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Matt Joyce is not only off to a great start in 2012, but has gotten more than a fighting chance to show his stuff against left and right-handed pitchers this season. I understand the post-2012 thinking of Rays skipper Joe Maddon of Joyce wade into the Rays hitting pool slowly, but the guy has proven he doesn't need a platoon partner. I mean what else does the guy have to do to get a full-time gig? It is time to finally throw Joyce into the deep end of the shark tank and see if he can dog paddle or swim like a cow-nosed ray.
Coming into the 2012 season Joyce was riding the accolades of his first All-Star selection, playing in 142 games during the season, and posting up some impressive number during his first season of Maddon loosing up the reins. So far in 2012 Joyce has posted up a .308 average with 7 extra base hits, including a current streak of going 8-for-20 over his last 5 games with 3 HR, 3 RBI and has scored 8 runs. Joyce has hit safely in 8 of his last 9 games batting .375 during this span. Unfortunately so far in 2012, Joyce has seen a bit of struggles against left-handers who have tried to expand the outside corner of the strike zone on him, but Joyce has pushed up a .222 average with a solo HR and 3 RBI.
That might not get a resounding vocal of support from Maddon, but considering Joyce has only had 18 at bats against lefties this season, Maddon might still be playing the odds with Joyce. But seriously, hasn't Joyce over the last few weeks proven he can stand tall in the box against hurlers from either side of the rubber? Why go back to the old Maddon mindset of putting Joyce on the pine when Joyce might be finally adjusting to the outside pitch offering and getting into a groove mentally of knowing what is in store for him during plate appearances against southpaws. Why not let Joyce mature and get some valuable plate time proving he is an all-around hitter, not just someone who can blast one against righties.
Of course a lot of this early 2012 success has also been on the heels of the Rays not having a legitimate tag-team partner to interweave with Joyce after Rays CF B J Upton went down even before the 2012 season after a Spring Training game collision with LF Desmond Jennings. Sure maybe Joyce has not posted up amazing numbers to get his name scribbled in daily against left-handers yet, but the guy is learning with each step in the box, and sooner or later he will find that rhythm and bat cadence that will produce the run scoring opportunities and boast his confidence at the same time.
Going to be interesting especially on Sunday to see if Maddon goes against his old judgment concerning Joyce and gives him a day on the pine against struggling Twins leftie Francisco Liriano. You would think this might be the perfect test for Joyce going against a hurler that has posted a 11.91 ERA and has given up at least 5 earned runs in his 3 2012 starts.
Still when you hit .290 against right-handers with 16 HR and 60 RBI during the 2011 season then mirror image that with a glaring contrast of a .219 average with 3 HR and 15 RBI against lefties, it makes a decision to bench you statistically solid. But if you look deeper at the splits, Joyce got 370 chances against righties while he only went to the plate 92 times against southpaws last season.
Before Joyce sent a pitch into the Rogers Centre seats in the top of the 7th inning against Toronto Blue Jays southpaw ace Ricky Romero during the Rays April 17th loss, Joyce has been feast or famine with round-trippers against his leftie foes. In 2011, Joyce got all 3 of his Home Runs against left-handers in a span of 13 at bats, and before his blast in Toronto, these were Joyce's only Home Runs ever hit against lefties in his career.
Seems to me possibly Joyce is starting to find his moments against southpaws, possibly figuring out a wise and honest approach to putting bat on ball and producing results in his starts against the type of pitchers who used to "own him". Since Maddon is a purveyor of the statistical elements, hopefully the recent actions by Joyce in the batters box will give Maddon the hope and confidence that Joyce can handle any pitcher, any time, in any situation and prove once and for all he is another valuable weapon in the Rays hitting arsenal no matter who is on the hill.

My day started off nice enough. Tushar let me sleep in late and had made tea and breakfast (omelet and toast) for me. I do not prefer to eat out much and especially not in a restaurant which serves American and Italian fare on the same menu. We usually do a restaurant lunch only two or three times a year for a couple of reasons. I prefer homemade food to restaurant food for the same reason I prefer home baked cookies to store bought. Since it is usually for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary we prefer to go to a nice eating joint run by a chef or a family instead of a chain restaurant like Chili's.
Today was an exception since we had to go to the shops and decided to go to a nearby mall which also has a Chili's restaurant. Usually, it is not our choice of restaurant for any occasion but we had a couple of gift certificates our friendly pest control guy had given us. We shopped around for a while before we went in to eat. Before leaving the house I had googled "Eat this not that at Chili's" and there was not much to choose from their decadent but grossly unhealthy menu. The Men's Health Magazine which has conducted the survey of hundreds of restaurants around the country, had given the Chili's menu a D grade in terms of serving healthy fair but recommended 'Guiltless Grilled Chicken burger' and 'Chicken Fajita Pita' as a means of "survival strategy".
The food, I have to say, was at best, mediocre. Tushar's burger was "ok" and the side of steamed broccoli was bland. My grilled chicken fajita had sautéed onions and bell peppers smothered in oil and the pita was soft and crumbly. The only redeeming feature of the meal was the dessert but even with the two of us sharing it became too sweet by the time we were almost done with it. With 1150 cal in the cake topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce, it is little wonder we left the restaurant feeling full and heavy. As the day progressed the feeling soon turned to lethargy and an intense thirst (high sodium). By evening I was drinking water like a fish. The two of us had not felt hungry by the time this piece was written (it is nearly midnight) and we had lunch at about 2 in the afternoon.
I shudder to think how we would be feeling if we had gone with one of the more decadent menu choices. A lesson learnt at the expense of our stomachs.

Colorado ballot proposal would limit concealed handguns on campuses
UPDATE: Read the related story in the Denver Post.
Coloradans can expect to vote in November on ballot measures dealing with guns, including a proposal that would limit concealed handguns on Colorado campuses.
Because of a state Supreme Court ruling, Colorado is one of only two states with no legal restrictions on concealed carry permit holders carrying their handguns on public college campuses. The proposed ballot measure seeks to overturn that.
A bill banning concealed carry permits on campus died in the 2013 legislature during heated debate on a package of gun-control legislation. In both the House and the Senate, two Democrat lawmakers were skewered for their remarks about the bill, which helped doom it.
At 1:30 p.m. this afternoon at the Secretary of State's office, there will be a hearing to set the title of the ballot measure, a formality and one in a series of steps that must be taken before anyone proposing a ballot measure can gather signatures and attempt to put an issue on the ballot.
Other proposed ballot measures seek to overturn some of the gun restrictions passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature in 2013.

19 February 2014 – United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Helen Clark wrapped up a two day visit to the occupied Palestinian territories today which focused on development priorities there and how UNDP could support them.
During her visit, Helen Clark met with Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and other senior ministers to discuss their development priorities, with UNDP staff, and with Palestinian civil society organizations.
She also visited UNDP projects, including one that assists female entrepreneurs, a water system project in Gaza, and a cultural tourism project near Jericho.
Water Project in the Gaza Strip
95% of the water extracted in Gaza is unsuitable for human consumption, forcing the majority of the population to purchase desalinated water. This is a result of the water table's sustainable yield being over extracted, putting its future viability at risk. Compounding this issue, the sewage network has collapsed, leading to widespread discharge of sewage in the area which has contaminated the aquifer.
To help address this issue, Helen Clark inaugurated a new UNDP-supported water system that creates new water networks and supply services to ensure good quality water is available for a local neighborhood. This project, supported by Japan, will improve the quality of life and health conditions of Gaza's residents
UNDP has completed more than 200 water supply and sanitation projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Projects ranged from strengthening water and sanitation authorities to the construction of water supply and distribution networks, storage reservoirs and house connections.
UNDP's Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People, also known as PAPP, derives its mandate from the UN General Assembly Resolution 33/147 of 20 December 1978. UNDP was requested "to improve the economic and social conditions of the Palestinian people by identifying their social and economic needs and by establishing concrete projects to that end".
