Comments on Progressive Enhancement with CSS
70 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
At Concordia University in Montreal, we actually used to do this (separate the style sheets as you described). In the end, we found it very cumbersome especially with so many sites to work on at any given time.
For example, when we have to style, say, a div. We'd have to edit color.css to change the color of the div, then open type.css to change the font, etc. Things got worse for us when we had to throw in unique homepage styles. Then say, for some reason we had text in a background graphic (not lately, but we used to), then some workers got confused where to find the style.
What we do (now, until I can figure out a better way), is simply organize the stylesheet into sections with a table of contents at the top, e.g., head, body, sidebar sections. We share a common.css with all the websites (to save bandwidth as it would be stored in the browser's cache), and each has a custom.css to modify any styles. IE5,6, and 7 stylesheets are added on top of that, then finally, print.css.
Just my two cents of course.
We also have options on our pages at the university to change the layout (including font-size). It got really cumbersome to separate those into type, color, etc.
I'm not really in favour of adding multiple style sheets for the simple reason that it becomes very difficult to track them down when you are editing the page. I have found that I spend more time trying to work out what styles are doing and where they located.
I agree with Rommil, I prefer to have a table of contents at the top of the page and break up the style sheet into sections.
To date I have not found the perfect solution for laying out my styles but thats a work in progress. It is also only very recently that I have started to add browser specific styles as previously it was all about getting it looking the same in all browsers, after all thats what the client wants.
I think having 6+ stylesheets is great and all but the biggest downside for it is you have more and more server requests. Why not organize your stylesheet in a logical manner like I've done on my own website? - http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/
As others have mentioned before, separating css files like this is hell. You're not splitting up 1500 lines of css across 3 files, you're creating 3 files with 1500 lines of code each. This is hell to maintain.
As for the ':', they can have a function, depending on the context they are used in. It might be good to leave them out of a form, but for a caption/detail structure they are definitely needed when both caption and detail are separated by spans.
Not a big fan of this article, which is pretty basic, lacks focus and preaches the wrong things.
Just another great inspirational piece. Again, I have learned some new tools to do what I want to do in a better way.
Some of the ideas in this article I was using already, but this is well thought out solution. I will once again sharpen my skills using A List Apart.
Thanks Aaron!
I agree with Aaron and actually implemented something similar on "a project":http://www.cue-the-sun.com/ato/list.html "I worked on":http://www.cue-the-sun.com/ato/add.html "a few years ago":http://www.cue-the-sun.com/ato/view.html.
It certainly can become cumbersome, but I think if you're strict about breaking up the declarations into different files based on the properties as Aaron mentions, then it's a logical deduction that if you're changing font, colour, or other properties, there is an appropriate file for those declarations and so all you have to look for is the id or class handle that calls it.
If elements have clearly identifiable classes and ids, tracking them down is very easy. This system also forces you to think about how to make the CSS robust and reusable, which introduces its own efficiencies.
I think it's naïve to think that the media type only requires different layout styles (as shown in your stylesheet diagram). For instance, I usually specify a serif font (TNR/Georgia) for printed pages because it's more readable in that format. I'm considering this approach:
* style.css (includes everything needed)
* print.css, screen.css, and other media types: all included from style.css via @media (as shown in this article): These contain all styles unique to the media type
* layout.css, type.css, forms.css, etc: Common styles that work for all media types: Imported from the media types (minor duplication of filenames)
Of course, such a complex structure (like the one in this article) should be compiled down to one stylesheet per media type, plus a common one for common styles included for all media types, minimizing HTTP requests.
Anyway, great article; it definitely got me thinking!
I get separating out the style sheets, though I don't fragment them as much as Aaron does in the article. I've found myself going with a single master style sheet - which I minimize if necessary, one for any IE bugfixes, then a print style sheet. I haven't had any client ask for supporting any browser "lower" than IE6, so accounting for Communicator 4's acceptance of @import doesn't factor in at all.
I found the idea of using CSS to render the colons after form labels a gem. I struggled with that thought just last week. From a screen reader perspective, Aaron's idea makes good sense.
Progressive enhancement - the yin to graceful degradation's yang. Good stuff to generate conversations.
I found useful to use separate stylesheets for both IE6 and IE7, but I don't think further fragmentation is a good idea. With type.css, layout.css, color.css you'll end up with 3 times more selectors than if you use only 1 file. If you want to define style of a particular element you have to write definitions on 3 places in 3 files. Also debugging is harder.
Here's how I organize my file (note this is all in one file)
I. Table Of Contents
II. CSS Variables
1. Reset
2. Headings
3. Anchors
4. Form Elements
5. General Classes
6. Template & Layout
7. Print
8. Handheld
9. Aural
10. CSS Diagnostics - http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/tech/thread.asp?pid=17
I agree with most commenters.
Unfortunately this is not a workable solutions in a lot of cases. Changing a single website module/feature/widget requires you to open 3 CSS files. Considering that you're making additional HTTP requests as well makes me think one nicely ordered stylesheet with a table of contents does the job a lot better.
I like this method it's very handy if you want to organize your code. I use it also in my CSS Frameworks, but there is one serious problem -> "HTTP Requests". There are N.1 problem for the page speed. I think that is great to divide the CSS code in logical parts but in the end you should merge into one for the screen,one for the print .. Also compress if you can!
1.) To split complex stylesheets into reusable modules and to @import {...} them within a central stylesheet is nothing new. For example, the CSS framework "YAML":http://www.yaml.de/en/ uses this method since more than 3 years now.
2.) There's a big problem with your recommendation to put _@import {...}_ rules into _ @media {...}_ rules, e.g.:
_@media screen { @import 'screen.css'; }_
This leads to *invalid* CSS code. The CSS 2.1 specification tells us in "chapter 6.3":http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#at-import
bq. The '@import' rule allows users to import style rules from other style sheets. Any @import rules must precede all other rules (except the @charset rule, if present).
Therefore, if I would follow your example, e.g. Firefox would show a website without any styles. The W3C validator also has problems with your recommendation and outputs error messages.
So, I don't think this is a best practice.
So I dont know why you use this example as a good idea to use?
Can you elaborate on that?
Nice article to read got me thinking.
hello, it's 2008… anyone talking about netscape 4 is just retarded. and for ie6, try conditional comments. this article is the gayest of the gay
On a tiny site with little to style, this many sheets might work. But once you get large enough to care about things like bandwidth and server utilization, having that many style sheets on each page is overwhelming.
However, the principle is sound, and I've used a very condensed version of it in my current enterprise position, which is comprised of three style sheets only. One core sheet. One for IE 6 or 7. One unique to each property that overrides some core styles.
Maintenance wise, it's at the point where I only have to perform modifications to the core sheet, and the IE sheets as needed.
I really would like to see people think for themselves more. You don't have to do *exactly* what's suggested. As a Designer (nay, as a human!), it's up to you to determine the right level of graininess for optimum maintenance.
It's almost 2009- F Netscape and IE5. As far as multiple stylesheet files, I do try to break them down sometimes depending on the complexity of the site, but usually just into one layout/reset file, and the other a type/color file. Cutting down on http requests is usually my main priority when structuring css. And @import? I threw that away years ago.
This technique doesn't take performance into consideration at all. Perhaps using multiple style sheets for development is OK if it suits that developer, but honestly why does this matter with firebug telling you exactly where to find the styles in the style-sheet?
Something should be said about using conditional comments to add extra special 'ie6' and 'ie7' classes and keeping everything in one style-sheet so that it performs much quicker.
Separating style sheets is an inherently good idea, because a large site can easily have 1000+ lines of code, even _without_ print or cross-browser styles. The scrollbar and even Ctrl+F can become your enemy, as may other people working on the same project.
But I have to say, I have no love for the separation into type/colour/layout, because these three are intrinsically linked, and you'll end up having all three open at all times anyway, moreso because their distinction isn't always as clear. Colour, for example is both a property of type and of layout, so who could agree on the proper separation of css?
What we do at my place is make a main.css with the complete set of CSS for generic parts and layout for the entire site. Separate CSS files are created per functionality "module", such as the news section in its entirety, or an online document search interface, or your google maps page.
Functionalty is always easily separable from the rest of the site, and we apply this concept in all code, from css to js to the ASP on the server end.
I toy with the idea of separating main.css into common things like formstyles, user messages etc., and the unique layout of the site at hand, but that's missing the point, which is to _make maintenance easy_. Once that goal has been reached, further "optimization" leads to over-engineered solutions that can only, excuse the term, suck hard.
On another note, I frowned when I saw mention of Netscape4 and IE5/Mac. I doubt it's practical to give these browsers more than just a casual though on a lost evening, let alone _support_ them with coding techniques. Both browsers do not exist anymore, and devising ways of supporting them, I think, is a waste of resources. In fact, the lowest browser we support here is IE6. We would love to drop that one as well, but alas.
For heavy lifting, I'm in favour of conditional comments, but otherwise, I've never needed more CSS trickery than the well-known _ and * bugs in IE.
I agree with everyone who commented that editing multiple stylesheets after the fact is hell. I personally divide my styles into five sections in a single stylesheet: reset, base elements, universal classes, specific IDs/layout, page-specific overrides. Makes overriding a style extremely straight-forward, too, which hasn't been mentioned yet. Changing styles isn't always what you need to do.
It's also worth noting that putting @import in your stylesheet, aside from increasing HTTP requests, has an additional downside in IE: IE doesn't cache any stylesheet that's two layers out. So if you link to main.css, and then have an @import in man.css to screen.css, IE won't cache screen.css. This won't matter for most small sites, but in environments where you need to watch your server load and bandwidth it will bite you.
This is good general programming practice (being modular), but creating so many separate style sheets really increases your HTTP request and can significantly damage the load time of you site. From an optimization stand point it's just more efficient to lump all your CSS into 1 file (same with your javascript, if you can).
A firefox addon was referenced "edit css sidebar" however I cannot seem to find it. The only add on I found has not been updated in quite some time and does not appear to work in ff3. What addon do you use regularly?
Matt Tucker: Look for "Web Developer Toolbar" - it should have what you need and should work in FF3.
As for the article, I tend to agree with everyone else: less CSS files are better for the sake of HTTP requests. We (my company) had a significant difference in load speed and therefore conversion when we grouped our CSS and Javascript stuff.
We have been working tirelessly to separate form and content for years- and yet this article is encouraging the use of CSS that embeds content directly within the stylesheet!
label:after {
content: ":";
From a standards based approach how is this remotely acceptable and when exactly did punctuation become merely a "visual cue"?
I was tremendously disappointed by this article. When Fx2, Fx3, Fx3.1, Opera 9.6, IE6, IE7, IE8, Safari, Chrome, iPhone, and Android are all about to share the stage, I was eager to read about progressive enhancement techniques from the Web-capable handhelds to the judicious use of previously unsafe CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 properties where now applicable.
Boy was I wrong! Instead, a litany of hacks to hide CSS for NN4(!) and IE5 Mac, praise for conditional comments as if we haven't already been using them for years, and some seemingly pointless examples of giving different styles to IE7 and IE6 as if for fun. Why? We're barely two months from 2009.
This article feels like it was written in late 2005 with sloppy mentions of IE7 hastily added prior to submission.
I still look forward to an article on progressive enhancement relating to the current state of the Web.
I've tried separating stylesheets into separate files for layout, colors and text and found that it works great on a small scale.
Throw in conditional styles for IE versions and things get a little more complicated. Most of the rules aimed at IE x.x are related to layout so maintenance only becomes an issue on redesigns. But still, it's something to consider.
Scale things up to the point where thousands of pages call up to 6 files, and suddenly you're taking a hit in performance and facing increased bandwidth. Even with caching, you're still going to see a slower load on the visitor's first visit to the site. And since first impressions are lasting ones, I want to make sure that first page loads as quickly as possible. Maybe just keeping it simple is the best way to go.
Great article it's a larger scale of something I've currently been doing.
I work on sites smaller then 1500 + lines so my idea was to organize everything in 3 rows.
- First row being layout
- Second row is text
- Third row is borders backgrounds
See the example below:
#id_name {
width:100px; height:auto; margin:0; padding:0;
color:red; font-size:1.3em; text-align:center;
border:solid 1px green; background:white;
Within each row everything is organized consistently. For example the first row is always width then height then margin then padding.
The reason I started doing this was to reduce the amount of lines that one class or id would take up, and more importantly so i could always find what i was looking for in each class or id quicker.
So the text box didn't render my example how I expected it do so here it is again. Sorry.
width:100px; height:auto: margin:0 10px; padding:20px 0;
color:red; font-size:1.3em; text-align:center;
border:solid 1px green; background:white;
Wow, I guess this thing doesn't like my returns. Last try at it.
width:100px; height:auto: margin:0 10px; padding:20px 0; (——NEWLINE——) color:red; font-size:1.3em; text-align:center; (——————NEWLINE——————) border:solid 1px green; background:white;
Sorry guys. I've successfully made myself look like an idiot.
I agree with many of the above. You should limit the number of http-requests.
If I want to split the css in multiple files, I usually create a main.css.php file, which sends itself with a text/css header. This file includes the other css files server side.
This may not be a good idea in every situation, but has been helpful for me on several occasions.
I'd like a CSS Style editor that databases my style choices and automagically generates CSS files and (x)html linkages (separated and conditionally commented as needed) based on the current state of known browser quirks and failings.
Define your three-letter-acronyms please. Thanks for the answer, Aaron, but you could expand your acronyms. It's late and I'm not able to expand them in my head, hurting your intended clarity:
I was very happy and interested into the first part, now part 2 was for me, like others above a bit of a shock. ^-^ I actually cannot and do not want to think about anything before IE6.
I work for social network, so backwards compatibility is absolutely necessary. But we decided to draw a clear line (the bottom is IE 6).
I personally prefer to use 2 to 3 stylesheets (main for screen and print!, IE 6 and if necessary IE7). I used to split stylesheets in colors / backgrounds, typo and layout, but ended up with 1000 lines each, that was not main table.
The idea of using a table of contents is great, and when I will get myself deeper into mobile development (thanx for the links!!) more extra sheets might be interesting.
But I believe the less the better.
Different stylesheets like you describe is not easy to maintain. All that switching between files when changing the properties of an object. I've tried it ones. Never again.
I'm in favour of a table of contents at the top and only one well organized stylesheet. Only for cms admin pages and for print I do you use different stylesheets.

Colons have been stylistic elements and a "visual cue" since their inception in modern typography, and are not part of content. Putting them in CSS is entirely correct and acceptable. The same goes for periods, capitals, semicolons, quotes, dashes, italics-for-emphasis, large size for headers etc.
In this context, an equivalent alternative to the semicolon, as an example, would be a little extra padding on the right and a small background image to indicate the connection between the label and the field.
I agree that the distinction can get a little hard to enforce, because without all the visual cues we put in text, the content would be very hard to read, and thus it's odd to not lock them inside the text as though they were content. But here we talk about colons on a label; not colons in a sentence, and taking advantage of CSS is recommendable.
@William Jeffery
Come, now, Mr. Jeffery! Continuing your logic, the spaces between words themselves are merely "visual cues," not "content." After all, Mayan, Olmec, Aramaic, Coptic, Hebrew, Classical Greek, and Phoenician were written for centuries without them. Let's strip these newfangled presentational elements from the true content, wrap every word in its proper span tag, and let the user agents use pseudoclasses to render the visual cues to the wusses who visit our Web pages, if and only if their browsers prove them worthy!
I misspelled your name, Mr Jeffery. My apologies.
I don't think you can support all kinds of browsers and devices if you have a common markup for all. But it can be used in conjunction with the XUL i suppose. So that you always have your data in xml format and it will be common item. Then you can seperate the browsers/devices into groups and create different markups for each group. And at last for each group you can apply progressive enhancement.
In the above comment the name of the technology is called XSL, not XUL. I'm sorry for the mistake.
@Willem Jeffery - I agree with Jon Zuck: colons, periods, capitals, semicolons, quotes and dashes aren't stylistic elements, they're punctuation. However, I don't have a problem with the CSS content example that Aaron's used, because a label / input pairing isn't really a sentence, so it's debatable whether the colon would be considered 'content' or not. (You'd also need to be mindful of labels that are actually questions which would need to end with a question mark rather than a colon.)
Re: editing CSS with the webdev edit CSS pane - does anyone else do this? I imagine it'd be a bit of a chore but maybe that's because I've got used to using programs that autocomplete lines when you type a few characters.
It is "interesting"? that this article completely ignores performance and maintainability, and yet these are critical to modern, professional web development.
I respect ALA too much to go into any further detail - instead I do offer an article that would clarify these concerns.
@Aaron - Using a CDN to compensate for the additional http requests doesn't make sense to me. The network does nothing to reduce the amount of requests. It just adds another DNS lookup into the mix and adds cost to the project for no reason. If I'm not mistaken, the point of a CDN is to have the files served from a location closer to the client.
However, if you merge the CSS files into a single file that is served compressed (as mentioned on earlier comments) you mitigate the performance issues in one swoop.
Having worked on several social networking sites, the shear number of HTTP requests is our biggest enemy. I've settled on a modular based approach. Many social networking pages have similar "boxes" of content or modules. We have one common.css file which contains styles used by multiple modules, and then each module gets its own style sheet.
Say several pages list forum topics and have a comment box (like a profile page). It makes sense to have a comments.css and a forums.css file. This greatly reduces the amount of CSS I need to write and maintain, with the additional benefit that simpler pages do not need all the CSS overhead that more complex pages do.
The average page then loads the common file, probably one or two module files, a common print file, and then IE-only style sheets.
Now if only we could target JavaScript for specific media types…
I really like the idea of fragmenting styles. It's tough, though, to decide if the fragmentation should be by topic (fonts, colors, etc.) or by DOM location (header, footer, sidebar, etc.); or by media type, as addressed by this article. The problem, though, is that each new fragment would require another HTTP request. Efficient HTTP caching makes this a moot point for successive requests, but a slow first page load may influence whether successive requests are made (maybe the visitor deems the site too slow and hits the back button).
YSlow preaches the reduction of HTTP requests, suggesting that maybe we should have just one CSS and one JS file for the site, and serve it via CDN. This seems to preclude CSS fragmentation… but not really.
Rails developers have the option of using "SASS":http://lab.hamptoncatlin.com/play/with/sass (packaged with "Haml":http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com ) to generate Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets. Styles can be managed in fragmented files (as many as you wish), and compiled into one compressed CSS file—and by "compressed" I mean compacted (one line per selector) or compressed (entire stylesheet on one line).
A clever author could use one stylesheet per media type with virtually no repetition (keeping the fragmented files DRY, folowing the Rails Way). Really, the possibilities with SASS are endless: it even supports color math!
First, I think some are overreacting to Gustavson's casual mention of NN4 and IE5. My own feeling is that if you want to accomodate user agents going that far back, stick to Quirks+HTML3 but let's give the author points for being thorough and move on… OK?
What I liked about the article was it's tone with regards to the need to accomodate IE6 and IE7 as a given, as something which simply must be done at this point in time, period. Just a fact of life.
To some this is completely obvious; a no-brainer. But in other forums, I've run into designers and developers who I find are, frankly, near-delusional about this. (IMHO) There's two memes worming their way through the technosphere:
1) An inflated sense of the installed user base for FireFox - to the point where IE is talked about as if it no longer mattered because "it's days are numbered".
2) The belief that there is a magic button that can (and will!) be pushed soon whereby all the remaining IE users (poor saps) will suddenly find themselves using FireFox 3, or Opera 9.6 or Safari for Windows.
Now, whether these ideas turn into sites which no longer look good or behave well with IE6 (or even 7) remains to be seen.
But IE6 has an installed user base of, at a very conservative guess, what, a hundred million users?
Their numbers will dwindle but it will still be some years before we can design confidently without taking IE6 into account. IE7, even longer. No matter how hard Microsoft pushes an upgrade to IE8.
And in the meantime, conditional comments or their equivalents will be the order of the day.
I agree with Jens Meiert, performance and maintainability needs more digging. Will this fit with 80 million PVs?
@"Richard Fink":http://www.alistapart.com/comments/progressiveenhancementwithcss?page=5#49
I don´t think it will take that much longer for IE7 to disappear, than it will take IE6. IE8 installs on the same platforms as IE7 and has the version switch. This makes switching from IE7 to IE8 pretty easy, not like switching from IE6 to IE7. I can even imagine that for that reason IE7 will again have a smaller market share than IE6 in the end. Certainly hope not though.
I agree with a lot of commenters here that splitting all your stylesheets into colour, type and layout is unhelpful. The suggestion that the print styles for any of these three will relate to the screen styles is pretty unimaginative too - on most of my sites, there is very little correlation between type (sans serif for screen, serif for print), colour (may use light-on-dark for screen, not for print - may use background colours on screen, often doesn't work in print) and layout (print sheet removes most layout styles, and removes some elements completely!).
No, where multiple stylesheets come into their own is when you have a site with a set of generic styles across all pages, but with a different colour scheme for different sections. That is exactly what ALA does! Each edition has a different colour scheme, which keeps all the colours in a separate stylesheet so they don't clog up the main one.
When CSS can recognise user-defined variables, this may become redundant, or at least less useful, but in the meantime, it's a very good use for multiple stylesheets.
I think the article title was a little misleading, I (like others) expected more e.g. bit's and bobs from CSS3 (and browser extensions) e.g. multiple background images, css gradients, css transforms, @font-face, css tables etc, etc, (with IE 6 as a baseline browser).
Having used third party software that utilises multiple stylesheets I have to agree with most of the comments:
1. It's a maintenance nightmare… 8+ stylesheets!!
2. It will slow down the initial load of the site
3. A CDN is used to serve content based on the (network) proximity of the user requesting the resource - the fewer the network hops to the server the quicker the response time.
There is an "alternative":http://blog.niccai.com/post/51688182/maintainable-css-using-ie-specific-css-selectors (better?) way of using conditional comments to target specific versions of IE without having to result to multiple stylesheets.
There are lies, dam lies, and statistics but… I've access to the log stats of a (non-technical) public facing website and over the last 12 months there has been 1 visitor using IE5(Mac) and none using Netscape 4… I wouldn't spend anytime designing for those browsers…
This might be worth a look for writing maintainable css "CSS Systems":http://natbat.net/2008/Sep/28/css-systems/
Just my 2p.
recent articles have been below par in quality. I think even Sixrevisions and Smashing magazines are getting a lot better. This article really does sounds like it was written in 2005. IE 5.5? Netscape? Which world are we living in? Splitting css into so many files is a maintenance nightmare that I am glad to do without. I use 1 stylesheet and if a page is complicated, I use another style sheet for a specific page when working with sites with more than 30 templates.
I only hope the next articles are of a better standard.
I'm really surprised to read this article in _2008_ from somebody as experienced as Aaron. Everybody is trying to _reduce_ HTTP requests these days, and we all know that @import is the *worst, slowest way* to add more stylesheets. Kids, don't try this at home — you will hurt the web!
Apart from the maintenance nightmare it's simply superfluous to create extra stylesheets for print, not to mention handheld styles. Usually my print stylesheets just involve setting a few elements to display:none and fixing a few colors and widths. That can be perfectly done in one stylesheets with the @media print rule:
@media print { #stuff-that-doesnt-get-printed { display: none } }
This all sounds really awesome in theory. We are all about separating content and style, so why not break up the styles into logical units as well?
But in practice I don't know how good this is…
Has anyone come up with actual metrics on whether it's better to have everything in one css file (large initial size, but only one http request) versus broken up (small individual sizes, but multiple http requests) in terms of bandwidth, and perhaps page loading? If multiple http requests causes the bigger hit, then in many cases the separation is a weakness.
Also, initially it seems good to break everything up into different chunks of style. Typography, layout, color, etc. But, as has been mentioned this can make maintenance, and especially development, hell. Currently, if I want to change an element, or there is a bug with an element, I can go directly to that element's style definition and play with all of its properties in one place. Using this method, I would have to jump around between files searching for the right places.
Also, with page loading, what if one stylesheet hangs when its being downloaded. So the user might see a giant red colored eyesore for a while until the next stylesheet jumps in and fixes it. With one stylesheet, it may take a bit longer for the page to completely load, but for the most part each element receives all of its styles at once.
IE7 ships with Vista. That's the big problem. Every new computer with Vista = 1 new IE7 user.
If the results of Microsoft's efforts at pushing out IE7 to IE6 users - as a "critical update", no less - is any guide, efforts at pushing out IE8 will come nowhere near eradication. We'll be dealing with IE7 for many years.
BTW, Microsoft publishes a schedule of product lifecycles listing when they will drop support (exclusive of security updates) for different products.
IE6 on Windows XP gets shelved in late Spring 2010.
I'm barely learning C++ and Objective C, would you guys have a recomendation for a book to learn about HTML, XHTML, and CSS? I've seen too many and I can't figure out how to separate the good one from the average ones. Thank you guys.
I always have problems getting conditional statements to work, so I actually use a very lightweight snippet of php code to call seperate stylesheets for IE and firefox. Check it out on my website in the header section. http://www.shockforcestudio.com
As much as I hate when it's time to apple+tab over to IE6 and 7 from firefox and hit refresh, I must admit that the 2 browsers help to point out a lot of problems with my CSS that sometimes FF/Safari etc. "ignore" and "appear" to render correctly anyway. I find that making small adjustments to my CSS to fix IE6 and 7 issues cause no problems in FF/Safari renders and am embarrassingly grateful that my foes (IE6 and 7) pointed those things out to me. Usually, the fixes make sense too. I very rarely even need to make a separate style for IE6 and 7, thanks especially to standards-compliant ways of invoking has-layout and clearing floats. The last site I made has an IE stylesheet for ONE element, the "behavior" element for PNG support in IE. My continuing inspiration is found in the fact that even the most elite CSS designers today are still abusing CSS because it wasn't intended to do what we've made it do at all. Floating for layout? Although necessary for us now, DIVs were intended to stack one on top of the other. So, in exaggeration, we're all just hacking our way to the coming days of CSS3 table support, but thank you W3C for current CSS 2.1 spec.
Have a look at a "new book from sitepoint titled Everything You Know About CSS is Wrong":http://www.sitepoint.com/books/csswrong1/ .
In contrast to the parts of this article you're dissapointed with, you'll appreciate "the book's":http://www.sitepoint.com/books/csswrong1/ _drive toward the future_ in regards to preparing for new CSS and Browsers and what to do about older browsers, _rather than discussing support for NN5 and IE older than 6_.
"I very rarely even need to make a separate style*sheet* for IE6 and 7…"
"This is a nifty trick for getting IE5/Mac to ignore a stylesheet."
It may seem nifty but it makes the code brittle and easily broken. It means that everyone who ever works on this code must recognize all the tricks you are using so they don't break them.
I don't call that nifty ... I call that hard to maintain.
To have the cake and eat it.
(i build sites based on PHP, but similar prospects exist for other methods, such as SASS for ruby…)
Write yourself a simple "css compiler", let it concatenate (and minify) your many, many css files into one block and return that to the browser.
I now have simply a css link tag with an href like:
the PHP spits out a condensed result of loading those files in turn (vars.php allows me to define global values such as "$ugly_red='#faa'" and then use those values throughout my other css files. (parameterised CSS is good - should have been in the spec all along)
When production time comes along, I just load that css url into the browser as is, and copy/paste the result into "site.css" and change the value in the link tag of the template to remove the time spent by PHP producing my css.
Best of both worlds: single http request, minified css code, and I get to work on small, reusable, maintainable and understandale CSS
As a bonus I also get to parameterise my CSS when I want to as well.
The (very basic) 'compiler' I use is here - "http://pastebin.com/f4ea23657":http://pastebin.com/f4ea23657
Its probably bug-ridden, and its VITAL that you don't put such a script onto a public server (it only gets used on the dev server that lives under my desk and isn't externally routable ...)
I agree with a lot of posters that this is a bit too much. Here's my full blog post about the matter: http://tr.im/10u1
In my current position I work on a site that has many dynamic pages. I would find it too timely to maintain the site wide and page specific CSS in this manner (i just prototyped a page to test). This seems as though it is geared for a small / static site.
We load a few different CSS files (I don't think load times from different CSS files causing multiple requests is a problem), which are usually a global.css, a portal specific CSS file, and then a page specific CSS file. I prefer to have my CSS rules in one place, because this removes the chance that you may have identical mistakes hidden throughout your 2k lines of CSS. Keep it simple, keep it fresh.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the article as well as the discussion that has followed.
I would like to respond to some of the comments with relation to actually having multiple style sheets. I think a good technique or tip, is to create one style sheet when in development of the site. Only after the CSS design is complete should you break it up. I think this process with help designers better structure their markup and make it not as cumbersome as first thought.
Using a CDN to compensate for the additional HTTP requests doesn't make sense to me.so i want to apply this on the <href="http://www.justcrapsdice.com">craps dice</a> site.The network does nothing to reduce the amount of requests. It just adds another DNS look up into the mix and adds cost to the project for no reason. If I'm not mistaken, the point of a CDN is to have the files served from a location closer to the client.Say several pages list forum topics and have a comment box (like a profile page). It makes sense to have a comments.css and a forums.css file. This greatly reduces the amount of CSS I need to write and maintain, with the additional benefit that simpler pages do not need all the CSS overhead that more complex pages do.I agree with Jens Meiert, performance and maintainability needs more digging.I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well.

I generally try to optimize my website css using gzip or defalte methods. These methods are for Apache Server versions.
You can simply create ".htaccess" file and modify accordingly. This will speed up your css and website as well when it get loads.

Is the following paragraph acceptable? Please check it for me. Thanks!
Actually, a magazine which is scheduled to be issued this month had already been done two or three months ahead. If there is breaking news that is urgent to make the readers know about it, the editorial staff will use the latest event instead of one of the previous articles. And, so do the CD-ROMs. It takes tremendous collective efforts and costs a big amount to finish publishing a magazine or making a CD-ROM.

Kid seems remarkably enlightened under the circumstances, mate. If it was me getting my head kicked in at kindegarten everyday I'd be less interested in gazing into your eyes, seeking your spiritual heart or trusting your faith and more focussed on the bloody boxing lessons frankly - or at least on you loaning me a sock with a cue ball in it.
This idealised child is as unconvincing as your idealised view of Jesus, the Bible and faith itself - and has as little basis in reality.
[chuckling heartily] "...loaning me a sock with a cue ball in it" speaks to me, windar. I too had a violent streak at one time. Certainly you appreciate the courage and resourcefulness of such a choice. One who is willing to fearlessly address the challenges of life is to be praised. I just hope you wouldn't hit him in the head.
[quote author="windar"]From Websters;
Faith : Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.
Good point, windar. But a belief without logical proof or material evidence can still be completely logical.
I hesitated before reading End of Faith because I didn't want my views and understandings skewed by someone else's thoughts. I am very comfortable with my beliefs and need no further convincing about religion and its reasons to exist or not.
I am comfortable with my beliefs as well. Today. I was also when I considered myself a Christian, a Zen aficionado and an agnostic. Things change. Experience and dealing with adversity is mind expanding and can change perceptions.
I get confused when someone compares the bible with a factual book like a dictionary. The bible is not an account of history or of humanity or its struggles with survival, it's based on superstition and unproven supposed accounts of incredible acts of nature. I wonder what sort of account we would be reading in your bible if the earth would have gone through a very active volcanic era…
Apparently you expect me to defend the Bible and have missed my earlier commentary about its relevance. It is no more "my" Bible than it is yours. Please do not confuse faith in God with the belief that the Bible is the unerring word of God. They are completely different. My use of the dictionary as a comparison was to argue that, as with the Bible, it simply represents the knowledge of a point in time by whoever wrote it. One has only to review a dictionary from the 1800's to understand that.
Don't you hate that science god…err guy?
In my mind, science and religion are not only not incompatible, they are essential to each other. Science deals with facts; religion is concerned only with values. Science purifies religion. Without values, science is undependable.
From "The Commanding Self" by Idries Shah
"The major difference between Sufis and 'believers' is that belief is conviction, certainty without proof, while Sufi knowledge is factual. This is often disputed by theologians because they regularly confuse knowledge with belief. This is easy to demonstrate. If I know that it is ten past ten in the morning, or that there is a fly on the wall, it is absolutely unnecessary, lunatic, even, to describe this as a belief. On the other hand, the people who believe that something is true do not know it in anything like the same way. Why? Because if they knew it as a positive, objective fact they would not manifest any emotion about it: neither would they be so keen to make others believe. All human experience shows that it is only things about which there is doubt which are believed in this characteristic manner. Facts, true ones, are not subject to either emotion or proselytization. The theologically-centered people, then, are not wrong or deluded, they are feebly informed as to the difference between, say, 'I know that this is a pencil', and 'I know that there are spiritual beings, because I have felt that it is true.'" (p.245)
"Displacement activity, sometimes called 'exchange symptoms', forms a most important part of human behavior. As an example, people who claim that they have no interest in metaphysics are often over-reacting against just such a curiosity. On the other hand, people who fevently claim that they are deeply concerned about such things are seldom in the right state to profit from them. Their excitement is used as a means of preventing them from going further. Their anxiety paralyses them: but this may well be inwardly intentional. You can see this, on a very ordinary level, when you look at agitated believers in all sorts of cults and systems. Because they 'have belief' they do not believe in learning. They use belief, in fact, to prevent learning. This is partly because the urgent 'desire to learn' is a low-level, emotional activity, a form of pleasurable agitation, a displacement. 'Believers', too, hold onto beliefs and do not allow them to be modified easily, certainly not by experience, because they really seek a systematic formula to make themselves feel stable. The space in their minds is there for system, not for truth. It is such people who imagine that there has been a great change in them when they merely exchange one belief-system for another. Then are not believers in the sense understood by a genuine belief-system, merely temporarily stabilised." (p.250)

Agencies Release Annual CRA Asset-Size Threshold Adjustments for Small and Intermediate Small Institutions
WASHINGTON--The federal bank regulatory agencies today announced the annual adjustment to the asset-size thresholds used to define small bank, small savings association, intermediate small bank, and intermediate small savings association under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations.
The annual adjustments are required by the CRA rules. Financial institutions are evaluated under different CRA examination procedures based upon their asset-size classification. Those meeting the small and intermediate small asset-size threshold are not subject to the reporting requirements applicable to large banks and savings associations.
Annual adjustments to these asset-size thresholds are based on the change in the average of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for urban wage earners and clerical workers, not seasonally adjusted, for each 12-month period ending in November, with rounding to the nearest million.

Everyone knows the trick of using the hosts file to redirect one hostname to another. It's a bit of a sledgehammer, but sometimes it's amazingly useful.
Take, for example, a system that consists of multiple websites, web services and scheduled tasks. I don't need to run the entire system locally; I don't need the resource overhead, nor the overhead of keeping it up to date. So I have a remote development environment (maintained by continuous integration) that the website I'm developing locally can consume.
And the hosts file trick allows me to occasionally work disconnected from this environment, hosting everything locally, and without changing the shared config (and accidentally checking it in and spoiling things for everyone).
I like this, but it leaves me without a database.
My connection strings refer to a named server. Perhaps the host file trick could still work here, but I've only got SQL Server Express installed under a named instance. Which, as far as I can tell, means I have to change my connection strings from "Server=dbhost;…" to "Server=.\SQLEXPRESS;…". And whoops, I've just checked that in and broken the whole dev environment.
SQL Server aliases to the rescue!
Fire up SQL Server Configuration Manager and expand the "SQL Native Client 10.0 Configuration" node. Right click on Aliases and select "New Alias…". Set the alias name to the server name value used in the connection string (for "Server=dbhost;…" use "dbhost"). Set the protocol to "Named Pipes" and enter ".\SQLEXPRESS" in the server field (the pipe name gets automatically populated).
And that's it. You can now connect to your SQLEXPRESS named instance without changing your connection strings.
One thing to be aware of – if you're on a 64 bit machine, the steps above have just set up an alias for 64 bit programmes only, which (probably) includes your IIS based website. You need to set up another alias for 32 bit applications by doing exactly the same thing under the "SQL Native Client 10.0 Configuration (32-bit)" node. Once you do this, you can connect to the server "dbhost" from SQL Server Management Studio.
In fact, there's just one last thing to be aware of – I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm not a SQL Server guy, so I don't know if this is old news, or the normal, well known way of doing things, and I definitely don't know what this is doing under the covers. But it's working, and it's helpful, and I'm going to use it.
Now to figure out how to mock Windows authentication…

It began in January, when Portland General Electric (PGE) made a big announcement: the major Oregon utility, partial owner and sole operator of the Boardman Coal Plant, proposed a possible timeline for phasing out reliance on Boardman. That was the good news: after months of work on the part of climate activists, PGE had finally acknowledged the risks of associated with their coal-fired coal plant. The bad news? The soonest transition date proposed by PGE fell woefully short of what's needed to protect Oregon's environment, our economy, and ratepayers being subjected to the risks of coal dependency. Under PGE's proposed "2020 Plan," the Boardman Plant would remain open for a minimum of ten more years.
Media outlets in the Northwest were a-flurry with the news that PGE wanted to decommission its coal plant. Laudatory news articles and editorials poured in, the vast majority framing the issue as one of the PGE responding to public concerns by doing the right thing for the environment. Unfortunately, few stories in the mainstream media probed deeply into the validity of claims PGE made to justify their preferred timetable. Most news sources accepted PGE's arguments at face value, never asking the essential question of whether a private utility that answers to Wall Street investors should be trusted to essentially regulate itself.

The Half Day Diet Plan by Nate Miyaki is evoking a lot of interest among people in the fitness industry as well as those who are struggling to get rid of stubborn fat. But, does it really work? We decided to do this unbiased review so that you can understand the facts and myths surrounding this diet and decide if it�s the right one for you.
This diet is very different from anything that you may have seen or tried before and that�s why it is important to understand it fully before arriving at any conclusions or opinions.
The Background:
Nate Miyaki wanted to create a diet plan that is easy to adopt and works for everyone without exceptions. That is a tough ask for any diet and it was by no means easy. It took more than 15 years of research, experimentation, a lot of testing and continuous improvements before the Half Day Diet Plan was finally ready in its present shape. It is demonstrated to work for people irrespective of their current weight, fitness levels, body composition or genetic background. There is absolutely no reason why it should not work for you.
The name of the plan is slightly misleading because it may give the impression that you have to avoid eating for half a day and make drastic cuts to your daily food intake. However, that is not the case. The plan requires you to go on a low-carb diet for half of your day and allows you to eat all your favorite foods at night as long as you keep yourself within your daily calorie limit. You don�t have to make any big �sacrifices� when it comes to eating.
The cornerstones of The Half Day Diet Plan:
Besides being easy to implement, the strength of this diet comes from the strong scientific foundation that it is based on. It is built on a set of solid scientific and practical considerations, which ensures good results and makes it suitable for everyone.
1. Macro-optimization:
Our body needs many nutrients for its survival, growth and metabolism. Of these, the three main nutrients (macronutrients) are carbohydrates (carbs), proteins and fats. We need these in sizable portions compared to micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. Controlling the intake of these macronutrients is the key to any diet plan, but there is a catch. The amount and proportions of macronutrients vary from one person to another.
Nate makes it easy for you to find your ideal macronutrient intake by giving you many predefined templates. You have to just choose a template that matches your body and lifestyle. Your template gives you the optimum amounts of different types of foods that you should consume and the best time to eat them. This will allow your body to burn the maximum amount of fat.
2. Flexibility:
One thing that you will like about this diet is its flexibility. Inflexibility is the chief reason why so many people find it difficult to stick to diets. Unlike other diets, the Half Day Diet Plan can be customized to suit your routine and lifestyle. This makes it easy to adhere to your diet even when you have limited food options or if you hate eating some foods. You can simply customize the diet to suit your food preferences, routine, lifestyle and the compulsions of your work environment.
3. Ability to evolve with your changing body and its requirements:
As you lose weight, you will find that the template that you started with no longer fits you. With this diet, you simply switch from one template to another as your body requirements change. This evolution is another reason why this diet works so well when others fail. It can be continuously adapted to your changing body and lifestyle profiles. This also makes it easy to maintain your gains and retain the benefits after you have achieved your target weight.
Bonus products:
Currently, the Half Day Diet comes with several bonus products that help you solve common hurdles encountered while dieting.
1. The Restaurant and Fast Food Survival Guide:
One big hurdle when you diet is the problem of managing your food intake when you are forced to eat at a restaurant. Sometimes it becomes unavoidable like when you have a meeting over lunch at work or when you have to take your friends or family to a restaurant for dinner. This short eBook will help you stay as close to your diet as possible when you go out to eat. It gives you general tips for selecting the right types of foods at restaurants. It also includes a restaurant by restaurant lunch and dinner guide to make things easier.
2. The Happy Hour Handbook:
This book tells you how to enjoy your occasional drinking sessions without ruining your progress. No, it does not allow you to binge. It does have a few tips on preparing for a social drinking session and a secret solution to tackle hangovers.
3. The Holiday Fat Loss Manual:
You don�t want to be dieting when everyone else if feasting during a festival or on a weekend party. Do you? This 17-page eBook will help you survive those days when controlling what you eat can be very difficult. You can feast occasionally without gaining weight.
4. The Flat Belly Platinum Club Membership:
You get 30 days complimentary membership to this premium area, which gives you access to several resources and content that will help you get back into shape. The membership will give you access to meal plans, recipes, Q & A as well as exercise videos, inner game, shape up accelerators and the virtual nutritionist software. You will also have access to the community to ask questions and discuss.
Advantages of the Half Day Diet Plan:
- You get a weight loss plan that really works, is easy to follow, adapts to your lifestyle and evolves as you progress. It can change your life.
- Gives you access to great content.
- The user interface is well designed and easy to use.
- Everything has a scientific backing with references.
- You get real life examples of users who have followed Nate�s plan and benefited from it.
- The case studies contain examples of people having a very different body and lifestyle profiles.
- Comes with a variety of meal plans to suit people of different levels of physical activity.
- Gives you many bonus products, which make the package even more attractive and value for money.
- There is a money back guarantee for 60 days.
We didn�t notice any significant disadvantage. However, it is important to know that a lot depends on you. For good results, you have to make changes to your lifestyle and eating habits. This is not some �miracle� weight loss product that requires no effort from your side. You need discipline and commitment to benefit from it.
The other thing is that this is available only as a digital product. You won�t get any physical books. So, you must have access to your computer or a device that you can view it on or print your own hard copies.
The final verdict:
Nate�s Half Day Diet Plan is a very scientific and proven method to lose weight that works for both men and women. It is easy to follow and delivers quick results without any rebound weight gain. Burning fat without going on a starvation diet or doing backbreaking work out routines is now a reality.
For the first time, we are seeing a diet that allows you to eat the foods that you love every day, indulge occasionally and relax your diet on weekends. Several scientific studies have proved its effectiveness and there are many success stories for additional confirmation. Hundreds of Nate�s clients from his San Francisco coaching practice have benefited from this diet.
Nate has really worked hard to create a weight loss system that is very practical for ordinary people. Most diets require people to deprive themselves of all the foods that they love and this makes it impossible for anyone to stay on them for long. At best, they produce a temporary weight loss that quickly rebounds when the person starts eating normally. There are no such problems with the Half Day Diet because you are not depriving yourself of anything. You are just controlling the timing and the quantity of your food intake. Unlike most other diets, occasional indulgences don�t make you feel guilty or reverse your progress.
Overall, it�s a good diet to be on and is very effective, but in the rare event that you don�t find it useful, you have the option of getting your money back for 60 days after the purchase. So there is absolutely no risk involved in buying it.

On Healthcare and Modern Medicine
I do, however, wish that this country (USA) had a more humane and less barbaric approach to the needs of its citizens though, with respect to health care. I definitely believe we're individually responsible to maintain to the best of our abilities our bodies - so people who drink and smoke and eat to excess and abuse their organism and then expect the state to fix them up at its expense are assholes. But there should be some universal access to both preventative medicine and acute care. That seems to me like a fundamental human right. I'm not talking about the right to have massively-expensive end-of-life surgeries that prolong one's bed-ridden existence by three months at the cost of three-hundred-thousand dollars. Rather, I'm talking about being able to go to the doctor when you have a sore throat and you need antibiotics because you have an infection.
The fact that we have so many millions of Americans who are hard-working and yet uninsured is profoundly disturbing. What incentive, especially in a stagnant, depressed, or contracting economy, does business/capital have to offer health care benefits as an incentive to labor when there's a surplus of workers throttling each other to secure a position? None, of course. And should it even be the business of business to insure the health of its workers? I don't think so. Whatever the best way forward is, it's not what we have right now.

Ahhh haha, we'll see about that (to the Anon who took the time to come here, read, and comment). Cheers.ReplyDelete
sore throat is not a lot of fun its just uncomfortable and difficult to swallow.ReplyDelete
usually, i would take the Nim Jiom Cough Syrup (www.geocities.jp/ninjiom_hong_kong/index_e.htm ) which has a thick consistency formulation. it coats the throat and includes herbs that are particularly good for that application.
i hope it works on you as well.
Thanks, Jane. I'll look into the product you suggest...and have already looked into ECHO ;)ReplyDelete

An observation of 3 of each:
I hear: the whippoorwills outside, Nonny & Poppy's old mantle clock ticking, the creaks & moans of the house.
I feel: the smooth hospital blanket under my toosh, soft carpet underfoot, the lovely Rose Garden pendant Linda gave me resting on my heart.
I smell: lily of the valley, pistachio nuts and peaches.
I taste: peaches, cinnamon and honey.
I see: tons of Norwegian literature, family pictures and a very old stamp collection.

Dan Grossman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 68 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
W3 ROI is new service which tracks the results (clicks, sales, ROI) of your online advertising. It can tell you which of your Google AdWords ads performs best, how many sales you've gotten from the banner you bought on LogoPond, and how many people clicked on your SitePoint Marketplace listing.
Design a logo for this new site. Since there is no existing site or branding, everything is up in the air. You can use any font, capitalization or spacing ("W3ROI" vs "w3 ROI"), any color scheme, etc.
Here is a screenshot of the application for some inspiration:.
The logo will sit at the top left of the application as usual. It doesn't need to be a specific size, I just left some whitespace to illustrate the position. You can even work against a dark or gradient background if you can adjust the header of the site to match..
Yes the primary color of the site is blue (#0066CC) now, but I could just as easily change it to green or black or something that better matches the logo.
- Pretty much anything goes. Sorry there aren't more requirements.
- Some kind of icon/image next to the name would be useful, but not required. BuySellAds.com does fine with just text in their logo.
- Rasterized and source file for the finished logo in case I need to change something later
- Nothing that would scare off a small business owner.

Below are the remarks of Joe Biden as prepared for delivery at the Democratic National Convention.
By Joe Biden
Beau, I love you. I am so proud of you. Proud of the son you are. Proud of the father you've become. And I'm so proud of my son Hunter, my daughter Ashley, and my wife Jill, the only one who leaves me breathless and speechless at the same time.
It is an honor to share this stage tonight with President Clinton. And last night, it was moving to watch Hillary, one of the great leaders of our party, a woman who has made history and will continue to make history: my colleague and my friend, Senator Hillary Clinton.
And I am honored to represent our first state-my state-Delaware.
Since I've never been called a man of few words, let me say this as simply as I can: Yes. Yes, I accept your nomination to run and serve alongside our next President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.
Let me make this pledge to you right here and now. For every American who is trying to do the right thing, for all those people in government who are honoring their pledge to uphold the law and respect our Constitution, no longer will the eight most dreaded words in the English language be: "The vice president's office is on the phone."
Barack Obama and I took very different journeys to this destination, but we share a common story. Mine began in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and then Wilmington, Delaware. With a dad who fell on hard economic times, but who always told me: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up. Get up."
I wish that my dad was here tonight, but I am so grateful that my mom, Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden, is here. You know, she taught her children-all the children who flocked to our house-that you are defined by your sense of honor, and you are redeemed by your loyalty. She believes bravery lives in every heart and her expectation is that it will be summoned.

Thank you so much. Four years ago, you gave me the honor of fighting our fight. I was proud to stand with you then, and I am proud to stand with you now, to help elect Barack Obama as President of the United States.
In 2004, we came so close to victory. We are even closer now, and let me tell you, this time we're going to win. Today, the call for change is more powerful than ever, and with more seats in Congress, with more people with more passion engaged in our politics, and with a President Obama, we stand on the brink of the greatest opportunity of our generation to move this country forward.
The stakes could not be higher, because we do know what a McCain administration would look like: just like the past, just like George Bush. And this country can't afford a third Bush term. Just think: John McCain voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time. Ninety percent of George Bush is just more than we can take.
Never in modern history has an administration squandered American power so recklessly. Never has strategy been so replaced by ideology. Never has extremism so crowded out common sense and fundamental American values. Never has short-term partisan politics so depleted the strength of America's bipartisan foreign policy.
George Bush, with John McCain at his side, promised to spread freedom but delivered the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time. They misread the threat and misled the country. Instead of freedom, it's Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban and dictators everywhere that are on the march. North Korea has more bombs, and Iran is defiantly chasing one.
Below are the remarks as prepared for delivery of former Virginia governor Mark Warner at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 25, 2008:
By Sen. Mark Warner,
My fellow Democrats. My fellow Americans. The most important contest of our generation has begun.
Not the campaign for the presidency. Not the campaign for Congress. But the race for the future. And I believe from the bottom of my heart with the right vision, the right leadership, and the energy and creativity of the American people, there is no nation that we can't out hustle or out compete. And no American need be left out or left behind.
Yes, the race for the future is on, and it won't be won if only some Americans are in the running. It won't be won with yesterday's ideas and yesterday's divisions. And it won't be won with a president who is stuck in the past.
We need a president who understands the world today, the future we seek, and the change we need. We need Barack Obama as the next president of the United States.
Now - I have a unique perspective on this race for the future. Like many of you, I was the first in my family to graduate from college. It was made possible by supportive parents, good public schools, and since my folks didn't have the resources, thank goodness for the student loan program.
After I graduated law school, it didn't take long to realize that America really wouldn't miss me as a lawyer. So I started a business. My first company failed in six weeks. My next one was much more successful. It failed in six months.
And then, a buddy of mine told me that there was this new idea. This thing called "car telephones" ... "cell phones." Friends told me: "Warner get a real job... No one's going to want a phone in the car." But I saw a different future. And with luck and a lot of hard work, I got in on the ground floor of the cell phone industry.
As you might imagine, for Barack, running for president is nothing compared to that first game of basketball with my brother Craig.
I can't tell you how much it means to have Craig and my mom here tonight. Like Craig, I can feel my dad looking down on us, just as I've felt his presence in every grace-filled moment of my life.
At six-foot-six, I've often felt like Craig was looking down on me too - literally. But the truth is, both when we were kids and today, he wasn't looking down on me - he was watching over me.
And he's been there for me every step of the way since that clear February day 19 months ago, when - with little more than our faith in each other and a hunger for change - we joined my husband, Barack Obama, on the improbable journey that's brought us to this moment.
But each of us also comes here tonight by way of our own improbable journey.
I come here tonight as a sister, blessed with a brother who is my mentor, my protector and my lifelong friend.
I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president.
I come here as a Mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world - they're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future - and all our children's future - is my stake in this election.
And I come here as a daughter - raised on the South Side of Chicago by a father who was a blue collar city worker, and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me. My mother's love has always been a sustaining force for our family, and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity, her compassion, and her intelligence reflected in my own daughters.
Speech at Democratic convention by former U.S. Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa
As a Republican, I stand before you with deep respect for the history and traditions of my political party. But it is clear to all Americans that something is out of kilter in our great republic. In less than a decade America's political and economic standing in the world has been diminished. Our nation's extraordinary leadership in so many areas is simply not reflected in the partisan bickering and ideological politics of Washington. Seldom has the case for an inspiring new political ethic been more compelling. And seldom has an emerging leader so matched the needs of the moment.
The platform of this transformative figure is a call for change. The change Barack Obama is advocating is far more than a break with today's politics. It is a clarion call for renewal rooted in time-tested American values that tap Republican, as well as Democratic traditions.
Perspective is difficult to bring to events of the day, but in sweeping terms, there have been four great debates in our history to which both parties have contributed. The first debate, led by Thomas Jefferson, the first Democrat to be elected president, centered on the question of whether a country could be established, based on The Rights of Man.
The second debate, led by Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican to be elected president, was about definitions—whether The Rights of Man applied to individuals who were neither pale nor male. It took almost two centuries of struggle, hallmarked by a civil war, the suffrage and abolitionist movements, the Harlem renaissance and a courageous civil rights leadership to bring meaning to the values embedded in the Declaration of Independence.
Below are the remarks of Hillary Clinton as prepared for delivery at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 26, 2008:
I am honored to be here tonight. A proud mother. A proud Democrat. A proud American. And a proud supporter of Barack Obama.
My friends, it is time to take back the country we love.
Whether you voted for me, or voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose. We are on the same team, and none of us can sit on the sidelines.
This is a fight for the future. And it's a fight we must win.
I haven't spent the past 35 years in the trenches advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women's rights at home and around the world . . . to see another Republican in the White House squander the promise of our country and the hopes of our people.
And you haven't worked so hard over the last 18 months, or endured the last eight years, to suffer through more failed leadership.
No way. No how. No McCain.
Barack Obama is my candidate. And he must be our President.
Tonight we need to remember what a Presidential election is really about. When the polls have closed, and the ads are finally off the air, it comes down to you -- the American people, your lives, and your children's futures.
For me, it's been a privilege to meet you in your homes, your workplaces, and your communities. Your stories reminded me everyday that America's greatness is bound up in the lives of the American people -- your hard work, your devotion to duty, your love for your children, and your determination to keep going, often in the face of enormous obstacles.
You taught me so much, you made me laugh, and . . . you even made me cry. You allowed me to become part of your lives. And you became part of mine.
I read and was deeply troubled by the article recently published in the Addison Independent headlined "Schools consider 'Pledge.' More specifically, I take offense at any citizen who likens the "…Pledge to a blind oath of loyalty."
I am grateful for Art Remick's letter about the Pledge of Allegiance published in your May 15th edition of the Independent. I have been uncomfortable with the Pledge of Allegiance and the way it is used in schools for years, and Mr. Remick's comparison to the Oath of Allegiance for Naturalized Citizens has helped me understand why.

August 2009-Dr. Fu receives award to support his lymphoma research
Story contributed by the Lymphoma Research Foundation
| New ways to attack an aggressive and incurable type of lymphoma will be studied at UNMC with the help of a $300,000 grant from the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF).
Kai Fu, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of pathology and microbiology, has received the grant — called the 2009 Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc./Lymphoma Research Foundation Clinical Investigator Career Development Award — to support his mantle cell lymphoma research. This substantial investment by the Lymphoma Research Foundation is indicative of the group's high esteem for Dr. Fu's work, said Tom Rosenquist, Ph.D., vice chancellor for research at UNMC.
"I know that, with his innovative research approach and high level of energy, the investment will pay dividends in new, improved therapy for patients with mantle cell lymphoma," he said.
Lymphoma — the most common type of blood cancer — is broadly categorized into Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). According to the World Health Organization, there are six types of HL and more than 61 types of NHL.
Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare B-cell NHL that is very aggressive. It accounts for 6 percent of all new diagnoses of NHL — or about 3,000 new cases per year in the United States.
The disease:
It is characterized by over expression of the gene called cyclin D1 due to a chromosomal translocation.
A subset of mantle cell lymphoma also shows higher levels of a group of small RNA molecules, called miR-17~92.
Dr. Fu and his colleagues have found that this higher expression correlates directly with poorer patient survival. These findings indicate that higher miR-17~92 expression induces abnormal activation of a pathway in tumor cells that leads to increased resistance to standard chemotherapy.
This recent award will help Dr. Fu conduct a pre-clinical study to determine whether suppression of miR-17~92 will improve the effect of chemotherapy. His study may lead to a novel approach to treat MCL patients.
"Dr. Fu's elegant proposal explores a new avenue for understanding MCL and identifying potential therapeutic targets," said Michael Williams, M.D., director of the University of Virginia's Hematologic Malignancy Program and chairman of the LRF's Mantle Cell Consortium, of which Dr. Fu also is a member. "We are delighted that Dr. Fu has chosen MCL as the focus of his Clinical Career Development Project."

A research team lead by Tulane University biologist John J. Schenk has discovered a previously unknown flowering plant in a remote corner of the Grand Canyon.
"The tropics are considered a biodiversity hotspot containing many undiscovered species," says Schenk. "However, there are many species left to be discovered even in our own backyards."
For several years Schenk and fellow researchers have been searching for new plant species in the vast maze of channels and ravines that make up the Grand Canyon of Arizona. The team's discovery is described in a recent article by Schenk and his colleagues, Wendy Hodgson and Larry Hufford, in Brittonia, a journal devoted to systematic biology.
"The Grand Canyon is biologically important with numerous species that have locally evolved within the highly dissected canyon," says Schenk. "Many plant species there have narrow distributions and occur only in very specific habitats. The obvious challenge to conducting fieldwork in the canyon is the rugged terrain."
The newly discovered plant has white to light yellow flowers that bloom from May through November. It is a shrubby perennial herb with a taproot adapted to finding moisture in the loose, rocky soils of the canyon's arid landscape. The discoverers named it Mentzelia canyonensis after the Grand Canyon, the only place it is known to exist.
"With more time in the field coupled with more tools such as molecular DNA technologies, we can only expect to increase the number of new species," says Hodgson.
"As threats to plant communities increase due to urbanization, habitat alteration, and climate change, describing Earth's biodiversity is increasingly imperative before these species are lost to extinction and gone forever," says Schenk. "Many of the new species to be discovered are likely to be cryptic, very localized and rare."

EXCLUSIVEThe law has come down hard on the guys who allegedly pillaged the Paul Walker crash scene ... they've been charged with 3 crimes.
18-year-old Jameson Witty was caught on video stealing the T-top roof of the Porsche right off the tow truck ... and, as if that wasn't enough of a smoking gun ... he then bragged about the heist by posting pics of the stolen wreckage on Instagram.
The L.A. County District Attorney has just charged Witty and his alleged accomplice, Anthony Janow, with felony grand theft, along with 2 misdemeanors -- destroying evidence and resisting, obstructing and delaying a peace officer.
If convicted, the 2 men face up to 4 years and 6 months behind bars.

Last week we tackled the logistics and heartache of replacing the original hardwood floors as part of our ongoing beach cottage renovation project. This week we're on to doors. This house has a LOT of doors. Let's break it down: there are the glass doors leading out to the porch, carriage doors on the garage, the front door, and all of the inside doors. Guess what? They almost all need replacing.
Let's start with the interior doors. There are a few original 1901 doors remaining so the goal is to find additional doors that match as closely as possible. This is not an easy task, but we are up for it! Out of necessity, some of the configurations have changed. For instance, some sliding doors will become pocket doors, and some will become French doors, etc.
Original doors and original hinges
Moving on to the exterior, the garage is an authentic four-door carriage garage. I had found beautiful antique carriage doors in Harborside, Maine at Architectural Antiquities and designed the exterior of the house around them. However, when I went up to Maine to purchase them only one of the three pairs remained – talk about heartbreak! Now we need replacement carriage doors as well.
Original carriage doors
Next up on our replacement door agenda are the breakaway doors. Breakaway doors are a functional necessity for any home on the water. In the event of a hurricane or other calamity, the breakaway doors allow water to run right through the bottom of the house. The water pressure forces the doors open and the water flows through, leaving the house unscathed (theoretically). We are having our breakaway doors made of lattice, which is more authentic to our circa 1900 cottage.
Finally, we are on the lookout for an authentic front door. If anyone reading this has the lowdown on good sources for antique doors, please speak out and share your information with this weary (yet hopeful) mad renovator. Because nothing ruins a house faster than the wrong door!
The front door before the lift.

DrDeb necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Seity Insight, Inc
I am an independent consultant expanding my business internationally with a specific focus on a method called Social/Organization Network Analysis (SNA/ONA). This method is virtually unknown in the business world today (only 5% saturated).
I have a background in data network engineering and business management, a doctorate degree in Organizational Psychology (workplace behavior), and a specialty in trust (my dissertation topic was trust) - all components important and used in SNA/ONA.
I am looking to stand out with my skills and background and be among the first to apply this method in organizations looking for innovative solutions and ideas to improve the workplace and bottom line results.
This IS NOT social media or social networking using social media. This is a method that analyzes how people interact and form relationships in the workplace - it is how the work reallly gets done. It identifies the causes of issues rather than only address the symptoms. I focus on analyzing the results to show the culture of an organization and where trust plays a role. It also identifies the key influencers based on objective data.
Decision makers in innovative companies of 25 people or more in any industry. I am perfectly suited for companies going through mergers and acquisitions, any type of major change or organization restructuring, companies looking to increase innovation, or anyone having cultural, communication, leadership development or employee satisfaction issues.
I am looking for a logo to represent my company 'Seity Insight, Inc'. I am expanding my name from 'Seity, Inc' and changing my website, colors, logo, tagline as well. You can visit http://www.seity.com to see what I am changing from but that look will change very soon.
The colors I am going to use: Green as a foundation with brown and blue (dark brown/chocolate and cornflower blue/blue gray). So the green would closer to a soft green rather than a lime green, perhaps dark spring green or dartmouth green. See this website for the interpretation of these colors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_color
I would like ideas using something similar to a map that I produce for clients. See example in attached file. (logo draft.pptx)
I am also open to something creative using my company name/meaning also. Seity means: uniqueness, the ultimate expression of one thing or idea.
Think about the following:
1. Professional - to appeal to corporate clients
2. Elegant but not to conservative or boring
3. I like illustrations(but not required) - not clip art
4. Creative and unique ideas are welcome
Here are some examples I like:
1. http://www.syspac.com/
2. http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/40832
Here are some examples to avoid:
1. http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_US/us/index.htm
2. http://www.ey.com/
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Also PDF, SVG and EPS formats.

Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as 'Slaughterhouse-Five' and 'Cat's Cradle,' died Wednesday. He was 84.
Vonnegut, who often marveled that he had lived so long despite his lifelong smoking habit, had suffered brain injuries after a fall at his Manhattan home weeks ago, said his wife, photographer Jill Krementz.
The author of at least 19 novels, many of them best-sellers, as well as dozens of short stories, essays and plays, Vonnegut relished the role of a social critic. He lectured regularly, exhorting audiences to think for themselves and delighting in barbed commentary against the institutions he felt were dehumanizing people.
'I will say anything to be funny, often in the most horrible situations,' Vonnegut, whose watery, heavy-lidded eyes and unruly hair made him seem to be in existential pain, once told a gathering of psychiatrists.
A self-described religious skeptic and freethinking humanist, Vonnegut used protagonists such as Billy Pilgrim and Eliot Rosewater as transparent vehicles for his points of view. He also filled his novels with satirical commentary and even drawings that were only loosely connected to the plot. In 'Slaughterhouse-Five,' he drew a headstone with the epitaph: 'Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt.'

Appearing on "Face the Nation" last Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sounded a familiar theme about the threat of Iran's nuclear program. "They're edging up to the red line," he said, adding that he feared that Iran might cross this metaphorical point of no return "within a few weeks."
Mr. Netanyahu has used the image of the "red line" before, most famously last September in an address to the U.N. General Assembly, when he drew a red line across a cartoonish picture of a bomb, indicating that Iran should not be allowed to amass enough weapons-grade material for an atomic bomb.
Mr. Netanyahu's favored phrase is surely more vivid than the idiom it replaces, the proverbial "line in the sand." And "red line" has special resonance in Israel, in both English and Hebrew. As Shoshana Kordova of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz points out, the "kav adom" (red line) at the Sea of Galilee represents the level below which its vital freshwater supply runs dangerously low.
But "red line" also has a long history in Israel as a foreign-policy metaphor. In 1975, Foreign Minister Yigal Allon said that Washington "has managed to draw a red line which all the Arab countries know they must not cross—that America is not going to sacrifice Israel for the sake of Arab support." Then-prime minister Yitzhak Rabin used the phrase to refer to the line past which the Syrian army should not be allowed to cross after its 1976 occupation of Lebanon.
In English usage, the history of the expression can be traced back to the courageous stand by a red-coated Scottish regiment at the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War, immortalized by Rudyard Kipling as "the thin red line of 'eroes." James Jones used "The Thin Red Line" as the title of his 1962 novel about a World War II battle in which American troops similarly held the line.
For car-racing enthusiasts, the "red line" on a tachometer, a gauge measuring revolutions per minute, indicates an engine's maximum safe limit. The 1965 movie "Red Line 7000," starring a young James Caan as a stock-car racer, alludes to the 7,000-rpm limit of many automobile engines. The "maximum engine speed" meaning of "red line" was noted as early as 1956 in "The United States Air Force Dictionary," and its use among pilots and drivers alike probably did much to help extend it into the more figurative meaning of a limit past which safety can no longer be guaranteed.
Though "red line" sounds bolder than "line in the sand," its rhetorical power is often undercut by messy geopolitics. President Barack Obama warned last year that the use of chemical weapons by Syria's Assad regime would constitute "a red line" for his administration, but in May Sen. John McCain said the line was "apparently written in disappearing ink."

The atheists' spirit bomb would be greater because the mind of an atheist is calmer, more rational and zeroed into the ki.
Thus, the dragon balls would be eventually owned by the righteous Goku and his secular friends.
yeah all the incarnation stuff in the games are craaaazy
there's so many little sub secret tricks in DBZ.
actually a challenging game, hard on the fingers, kids dig it
it's the first of it's kind game-wise...
Can't wait to try the PS3 versions
Then every battle would look like this.
In all my years of life THAT is the greatest thing i have ever come across. I applaud you sir.
It would be a whole lot cooler than it is now. : )
