CSS is almost certainly one of the best developments in web design since the first graphical web browsers were adopted on a wide scale. Where tables created clunky, slow-loading pages, CSS created much more streamlined and usable web pages. Plus, CSS has allowed designers to achieve a number of different styles that used to only be possible with images.
One of the best parts of CSS is that it's so simple once you know the basics. Where tables used to make incredibly complex and sometimes impossible-to-decipher code, CSS keeps things clean and simple. Add a few comments to keep everything organized and it becomes an absolute dream to work with.
Below are 50 fresh CSS tricks, techniques and tutorials that will help you to improve the quality of your next web design. Be sure to check out our previous article: 53 CSS-Techniques You Couldn't Live Without.

1. Security and Performance
While CSS is often thought of as merely a styling language, there are ways you can use it to add security to your site. There are also ways you can optimize your CSS to improve page load times. Both are discussed below.
Make your pages load faster by combining and compressing javascript and css files
Informal testing showed that a group of JavaScript files were reduced from 168Kb (and 1905 ms to transfer) to 37Kb (and 400 ms). There wasn't any data available for the effect it had on CSS files, but I'd guess it's probably pretty similar.
The Definitive Post on Gzipping Your CSS
This post covers the best and most recent methods for using GZIP to compress your CSS. It currently covers two different methods, both equally effective. One involves adding a bit of PHP to your CSS file (and renaming the file with a PHP extension instead of CSS) while the other method involves using the same PHP code with some additions but in a separate file.
Clickjane.css: A CSS User Style Sheet to Help Detect and Avoid Clickjacking Attacks
This post covers how to use clickjane.css to prevent clickjacking, a class of security vulnerabilities kind of like phishing scams and more formally referred to as user interface redressing. It's cross-browser compatible but, admittedly, probably only covers a small range of potential clickjacking vulnerabilities. It's still a good place to start, though.
5 Step Style Sheet Weight Loss Program
This post shows five different ways to trim the size of your style sheets. Techniques range from learning how to group selectors to using CSS shorthand. Each technique is thoroughly explained and includes related resources.
2. Page Layout
This is what CSS was built for. The options are almost endless, especially as CSS3 becomes the new standard.
Aligning Inline Images with the Vertical-Align Property
The default vertical alignment for inline images in text sometimes looks not-so-great. This tutorial shows you how to better align inline images with your site's type. It goes over the different types of vertical alignment and what they mean in relation to type.
CSS Centering
This post includes instructions for centering liquid layouts with CSS. It's very simple and straight-forward and works in virtually all browsers. Basically, it just uses left and right margins combined with some additional code to make it cross-browser compatible.
Making Your Footer Stay Put with CSS
Keeping footers at the bottom of your pages can be a real hassle with CSS, depending on how the rest of your page is set up. This tutorial shows exactly how to keep your footer where it should be—below the rest of your content! It's a very thorough post, with complete, step-by-step instructions.
Vertical Centering with CSS
This post covers five excellent ways to center your content vertically. It includes the good and bad for each method along with complete instructions for implementing them. The methods range from using divs that act like tables to using absolute positions.
Handy Tips for Creating a Print CSS Stylesheet
This post is filled with great tips for creating better print stylesheets. It includes instructions for everything from including link destinations after the link text to splitting comments onto a new page. Pick and choose from the techniques offered or copy the whole stylesheet.
Fluid Images
Fluid layouts are great. They generally look and function just fine until you start introducing fixed-width elements within them—like images. This post shows how to make your images fluid, too. And it works for most embedded video. And while the basic technique includes just one CSS property, there is a workaround necessary to make it work on Windows machines.
Flexible Equal Height Columns
This tutorial shows how to create completely versatile equal height columns using valid and semantic markup. It's cross-browser compatible and works with both fixed, fluid, and even elastic designs. It's a very complete tutorial but not at all complicated.
CSS Columns with Borders
This is a technique for creating equal-height columns with CSS that have borders. It uses a series of nested divs to achieve the effect instead of images. The end result is fantastic.
Creating a Polaroid Photo Viewer with CSS3 and jQuery
The photo gallery created with this technique is absolutely awesome. The HTML and CSS aren't super-complicated, and everything is explained really well. While CSS3 isn't supported by every browser, this does appear to degrade gracefully, making it perfectly fine to use as long as you don't mind some visitors not getting the full effect.
A Killer Collection of Global CSS Reset Styles
An incredibly complete collection of global resets, this post covers pretty much every reset you could possibly need. Some are short and sweet, consisting of only a couple of properties, while others are very complete and reset everything you might consider resetting.
Making Module Layout Systems
This tutorial gives complete instructions for creating modular layout systems using CSS. This makes it practical to use different grid-based divs as needed for individual content elements. The end result provides tons of flexibility for dealing with everything from images to text while keeping everything uniform and balanced.
Multiple Backgrounds (CSS3)
This tutorial shows how to implement multiple backgrounds using CSS3. It's currently only supported by Safari, but the tutorial includes tricks to make it work in non-supported browsers. Currently, it doesn't validate, but once the CSS3 standard is completed it's likely it will.
CSS3 Multiple Columns
Here's a tutorial for creating multi-column layouts with CSS3. The CSS is pretty simple and straight-forward, much easier than most current solutions to multi-column layouts. Unfortunately, this only works with Firefox, Safari and Chrome at the moment.
Smart Columns with CSS and jQuery
This tutorial shows how to create smart columns inside liquid layouts using a combination of CSS and jQuery. Basically, it fits as many columns into the base column size as possible and then distributes any leftover white space among the columns there. A very elegant solution if you want to allow for a variable number of columns without ending up with a bunch of leftover white space in your design.
CSS Hack for Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer
This tutorial shows how to apply different style sheets based on the browser your visitors are using (at least in IE5-8, Google Chrome, and Safari 1-4). A very valuable technique if you want to use styles only supported in certain browsers without making your site look bad in unsupported browsers.
3. Menu and Navigation Customizations
Menu and navigation styles can really set your site apart if done well. Just remember, menus need to remain usable and functional no matter how they look.
Overlap That Menu!
Have you ever wanted to create menu items that overlap? This relatively-simple tutorial shows you how to do just that using unique classes for your menu items. It also tells how to reorder the navigation items using the z-index. It's a nice effect that isn't difficult to achieve.
Super Awesome Buttons with CSS3 and RGBA
With a little CSS3 magic, you can created a scalable set of sexy buttons with nearly half the CSS it would have taken with hex colors. Give it a go in your next project and see how it can help add that extra polish you want without huge impact on your code.
Custom Buttons 3.0
This page shows a variety of rounded-corner (1px radius) buttons that don't use images (other than for the optional background gradient). Just look at the source code for the page to see how it's done.
Centered Tabs with CSS
This tutorial provides an alternative to the sliding doors method of creating tabs in CSS that allows tabs to be centered instead of only right- or left-aligned. It's a multi-step tutorial but isn't complicated.
Styling the Button Element with CSS Sliding Doors
An updated tutorial on sliding doors buttons that now includes creating them with CSS image sprites. It's also been simplified to work with a single block of CSS in all the major browsers (including IE 6-8). The markup is simple and straight-forward and the end result is perfect.
Styling Buttons to Look Like Links
Sometimes you have to use a button (like with forms), but realize your design would look so much better with just a simple text link. This tutorial gives a complete overview of how to make your buttons look like text links using CSS.
Simple, Scalable CSS Based Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs can be a great addition to your site's navigation and can really improve your site's usability. This tutorial shows you how to create breadcrumbs with CSS. The code used is simple (the HTML portion is just an unordered list) and there are only six CSS styles defined.
Recreating the Button
This article covers how to make a button that look very similar to regular HTML input buttons but can handle multiple types of interaction (like dropdowns or toggle functions). These buttons were originally developed at Google and are skinnable with just a few lines of CSS. The buttons created are entirely CSS-based, including the gradient background.
List of 10+ Usability-Conscious Link Styles
This page offers a good overview of different effects you can use for links, including color and underline, backgrounds, and animations. It's a good starting place if you're trying to figure out exactly how your links should look and act to make them more user-friendly.
Create Vimeo-Like Top Navigation
Here's a tutorial to create a drop-down top navigation bar similar to the one Vimeo.com uses. It's all done with images, CSS and HTML and isn't particularly difficult, though it is a bit complex. It's explained really well, with images illustrating the structure and very well-written CSS.
Beautifully Horizontal Centered Menus/Tabs/List
4. Typography
Here are a few tutorials and tricks for creating advanced typographic styles using CSS. There's everything from line-wrap functions to faux anti-aliasing to adding gradients and shadows.
Wrapping Text Inside Pre Tags
This tutorial shows how to wrap text within pre html tags. It's useful for displaying code on your site, especially when lines of code are quite long and end up breaking your site's layout (especially in IE). It's a relatively simple and there are a few different options presented.
Make Cool and Clever Text Effects with CSS Text-Shadow
Creating text effects without the use of images is a big advantage in terms of both file size and the time required for maintenance. This tutorial shows how to take advantage of the text-shadow property in CSS to style your text. While this effect doesn't work in IE, it does in most other browsers. And it looks incredibly cool if done well (I'm a big fan of the "milky text" example).
Safari's Text-Shadowing Anti-Aliasing CSS Hack
This tutorial shows how to use the text-shadow CSS property to create an anti-aliasing effect on your text. It only works in browsers that support text-shadow (so not IE), but the look is pretty awesome. It can definitely make text more readable, just don't overdo it or you end up with text that's blurry.
Safari's Text-Shadowing Anti-Aliasing CSS Hack Revision
This is a revised version of the technique above to create a slightly different anti-aliasing effect, especially useful for light text on dark backgrounds. It uses an extremely transparent black background to force Safari to render the text more legibly.
Snazzy Pullquotes for Your Blog
If you have a blog or other site that's text-heavy, using pull quotes to highlight important bits can look really awesome while also making your content more scannable. This tutorial shows how to format those pull quotes with CSS. It shows how to create both left and right aligned pull quotes while also preserving your regular blockquote style.
Codename Rainbows
Here's a technique for creating two-color gradients for text using a combination of JavaScript and CSS. It also works to apply shadows and highlights to text. The possibilities for the use of this technique are pretty endless. Of course, this is also one of those things where a little bit goes a long way (ie, limit gradients to your headers, titles, and other text you want to stand out—not your site's body copy).
Build Better CSS Font Stacks
This article gives some great guidelines for creating better CSS font stacks. It includes information on the most common font stacks currently used and then goes on to cover Tuck's Definitive Font Stacks and Ford's Better Font Stacks. It's a great resource when you're determining a site's typography, with the information presented in a very scannable, well-organized format.
CSS3 Embedding a Font Face
Here's a great tutorial on how to embed fonts using CSS3. While it's still not widely supported, this technique makes it much easier to embed special fonts into a site without having to resort to images.
CSS Gradient Text Effect
This little trick makes it easy to create gradient text by applying a 1 pixel gradient PNG to it. It's a quick and easy way to create gradient text pretty much anywhere on your site. There's even a fix to make it work in IE6 included.
5. Other Cool Techniques, Tips, and Tricks
Below are a ton of other techniques and tricks you can use to really make your CSS stand out.
3D Cube Using CSS Transformations
Nine Ways to Obfuscate E-mail addresses compared

Forms Markup and CSS – Revisited
Here is a CSS template for form styling. The markup of the form is based on the Accessible Forms Markup from Derek Featherstone. The template is semantically correct, flexible and accessible.
iPhone CSS
A very short and simple tutorial on how to make certain elements of you CSS render differently on the iPhone. It's surprisingly simple and easy to implement.
Improving Your Process: Faster Front End Development
While this post offers plenty of information on things other than CSS, it also offers some great advice for improving your efficiency with CSS: mainly, write your CSS in blocks. This technique is usually done progressively as you get used to coding in this manner. The steps are simple, though, and it's sure to make you a much faster designer.
Image-Free CSS Tooltip Pointers – A Use for Polygonal CSS?
This tutorial explains how to create triangles (to be used for pointers) using CSS, without the need for any images. The end result is great, though it only works for single-color images. The CSS used is incredibly simple while still being really versatile. You can create a triangle of almost any size using just a single div.
How I Implemented My Cookie-Based Switcher
While not strictly a CSS trick, this post shows how to create a cookie-based CSS theme switcher for WordPress. It allows users to choose to use a different theme when they visit the blog while allowing new users to see a nice, simple, easy-to-read theme that puts the primary focus on the content.
CSS Swap Hover Effect
This great technique will replace any image with another image when you hover over it. The tutorial shows it applied to a portfolio site, but the possibilities are endless. It's very slick and cross-browser compatible (though IE6 does require a bit of a workaround, as usual).
CSS Stacked Bar Graphs
Here's a tutorial for creating stacked bar graphs using CSS and some images. It's a pretty in-depth process, but the result looks fantastic.
Changing HTML Images on Hover / A Quick CSS Trick
10 Properties that Were Impossible to Implement in IE6

10 Challenging But Awesome CSS Techniques
Sometimes the coolest things just take a bit more effort.

Techniques include pull quotes, dynamic variables, and style changes based on the time of day or even the weather, among other awesome examples.

Catherine Mulholland, a historian whose biography of her grandfather William Mulholland sought to correct the image of the man who was sometimes vilified for his central role in bringing water to Southern California, died of natural causes Wednesday at her Camarillo home. She was 88 and had been in decline for several months, her family said.
Mulholland was one of the last two grandchildren of the rugged Irish immigrant who oversaw the construction of the 230-mile aqueduct that carries water from the Owens Valley to Los Angeles. It is one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century and a continuing source of controversy for the water wars it provoked.
In high school, a teacher suggested that Mulholland read what historian Carey McWilliams and other writers had said about her grandfather. She was "sobered and perplexed" by their accounts, which cast him as one of the "exploitative overlords" of Southern California.
Probing forgotten records and family memories of a past that she said haunted her for years, she wrote "William Mulholland and the Rise of Los Angeles" (2000) to provide what she believed was a fairer, more nuanced view of the family patriarch, a ditch tender who rose to chief of what is now the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
William Mulholland, she said, had been "falsely accused of conspiring with vested interests in the San Fernando Valley in building the aqueduct." She portrayed him as a "pragmatic progressive" who was driven by a vision of public works for the greatest public good.
Securing the region's water future with the 1913 opening of the aqueduct made him such a hero that local leaders named a road after him — Mulholland Drive, which runs along the crest of the Santa Monica Mountains.
He was not beloved in other parts of the state, where farmers and other residents believed they had been swindled out of a precious resource.
The water engineer's career ended in infamy when another of his projects, the St. Francis Dam northeast of Castaic, collapsed in 1928, killing more than 400 people in the worst manmade disaster in California's history. Although the cause of the collapse was not clear, he accepted the blame and died a dispirited and silent man several years later.
History was not kind to him in the ensuring decades. From historians such as McWilliams to the 1974 film "Chinatown," he was portrayed as a figure ensnared in a conspiracy to steal water from the hapless residents of Owens Valley. The movie was loosely based on actual events but became so widely accepted as fact that strangers meeting his granddaughter would react by calling her "Mrs. Mulwray." In the film, Hollis Mulwray was the water department's chief engineer.
She conceived the book after moving back to the San Fernando Valley from the Bay Area in the late 1970s after an absence of several decades initiated in part out of a desire to distance herself from a complicated family history.
Born in Los Angeles on April 8, 1923, she grew up on the 600-acre Mulholland family ranch in the west San Fernando Valley with mother, Addie, the daughter of Calabasas homesteaders, and father, Perry, who was William's oldest son. She said her parents' desire for the best education made her an academic vagabond. She attended at least three different elementary schools before going to North Hollywood Junior High School and Marlborough School for Girls. She graduated from Canoga Park High School in 1940.
Writing in The Times in 1999, she said that when she left home to attend UC Berkeley she "welcomed the anonymity of a place where my name had no particular significance."
She had a bohemian urge for experiences at odds with her background. During a break from college to recover from an illness, she moved back to Los Angeles and convinced her parents to let her study musical improvisation with Lloyd Reese, a master jazz teacher. Reese's connections led her to a lifelong friendship with Charles Mingus, who was destined to become a legendary bassist and composer.
Under their tutelage, Mulholland explored the jazz haunts of Central Avenue and came to understand the racial restrictions of the time. She had long conversations about life and music with Mingus, who was black, but their talks usually took place "on the streets of East Los Angeles in the front seat of my mother's car (the only place we felt an interracial pair could safely talk without being rousted by a cop)," she recalled in 1999.
An English major, she earned a bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley in 1945 and a master's from Columbia University in 1947. She returned to Berkeley for postgraduate work and became friends with some of the era's leading avant-garde poets and writers, including Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. She had a brief romance with San Francisco Renaissance poet Jack Spicer before marrying Gerard T. Hurley, an English professor, in 1949.
She and Hurley divorced in 1976. She is survived by three children: William, of Richmond, Calif.; James, of Pensacola, Fla.; and a daughter, Catherine Hawkins, of Pebble Beach, Calif.
In the mid-1950s she wrote a play about her early years, "A Wedding in the Valley," which won a Phelan Award for artistic work by Californians.
After the divorce, Mulholland moved back to Southern California and discovered that the "quaint little western villages" that had made up the San Fernando Valley of her childhood had been paved over and "uglified." A Kmart occupied the land where her home had stood. The loss of personal landmarks — ironically, because of development made possible by her grandfather's importation of water from the north — impelled Mulholland to become a historian.
She told the history of her mother's family in her first book, "Calabasas Girls" (1976). Next she chronicled the rise of Owensmouth, the dusty town that grew into Canoga Park, in "The Owensmouth Baby: The Making of a San Fernando Valley Town" (1987).
When Mulholland decided to tackle her grandfather's story, she knew critics would question her objectivity. The story was one "with which in a sense I have lived all my life and which even now may be disbelieved," she wrote, "so fixed in some minds is the certainty of what transpired that nothing would alter their opinion. "
Reviews were mixed. Ben Ehrenreich, writing in L.A. Weekly, said "William Mulholland and the Rise of Los Angeles" offered "few deep insights into either of its subjects, but rather expends most of its energy laboriously, and at times disingenuously, refuting the various conspiracy theories surrounding the city's purchase of Owens Valley land and the construction of the Los Angeles aqueduct."
Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Jonathan Kirsch said the book told "a saga of truly heroic proportions … with both grace and grandeur," while the New York Times called it an "even-toned biography" drawn from extensive sources, which included the water chief's personal office files.
"She was an excellent historian," said Abraham Hoffman, a Los Angeles Valley College professor who has written about the water wars between Owens Valley and Los Angeles. "Some people … anticipated that she was going to do some whitewash of her grandfather. She did warts and all. The level of her research went far beyond what anyone else had done on the topic."
Some of the most poignant moments in her account came during her description of the St. Francis Dam disaster and aftermath. The flood raged for 54 miles through Ventura County agricultural communities, ending when it reached the Pacific Ocean. The official death toll was 450, but historians suspected that the number was much higher because hundreds of migrant workers may have been uncounted.
At the time authorities believed the dam broke because it had been built on the San Francisquito fault. Today, experts say the probable cause was a prehistoric landslide that could not have been detected with the limited knowledge of geology in the 1920s.
When the senior Mulholland learned of the collapse, his granddaughter later reported, the first words he uttered were, "Please, God, don't let people be killed." During testimony at one of the hearings on the disaster, he sobbed and said he envied the dead.
Mulholland was only 5 when the dam broke, but she remembered how the accident drained her grandfather's spirit.
She also remembered an incident from a vacation some time later, when her father ran over a water hydrant with the family car, causing a gusher. He ran for help, leaving his father alone beside the shooting stream.
"Only the excitement and confusion of the scene registered on me then," Mulholland wrote, "but now, years later, the memory of that old man who had been one of the world's leading hydraulic engineers standing helpless by a broken water pipe outside a tourist cabin in the desert strikes me as one of those consummately ironic moments when the gods play their Olympian jokes and laugh in heartless derision at us mere mortals." He died in 1935 after a stroke.
Mulholland, who lived in Chatsworth for many years before moving to Camarillo in 2007, spent her last decades writing and lecturing about her grandfather. She was active on the board of Los Angeles Water and Power Associates, which promotes public education about water issues.

Greece received a small number of Avro 504 K trainers after World War 1. They were used to train pilots in Dekeleia during the Asia Minor campaign. The photo above shows a damaged plane belonging to the Naval Aviation Service (taken near Dekeleia airport in 1920; from the collection of P. Tsekas). The colours are not certain, but I chose clear doped linen, which is the most probable as the Greeks hadn't started using the silver colour yet.
In 1925, the Greeks ordered six of the newest variant, the Avro 504 N/O, as part of a very large modernisation programme. The 504 N had a number of design modifications, with most important the use of the much stronger Armstrong-Siddeley Lynx engine. It also had new, modified ailerons, no top centre section of the top wing, two 18 gal. fuel tanks below the top wing instead of one on top of the top wing, as well as a new undercarriage.
The naval version, 504 O, was different in that a vertical stabiliser was added, and of course it had floats.
The text below is from a contemporary British publication describing the strengthening of the Greek Naval Air Force during the late 1920s:
"The Director of the Greek Air Force at the Ministry of Marine, Captain Demestichas, during 1925 submitted to the Superior Council of Marine a long report, with suggestions for the reorganisation of the Naval Air Force.
Capt. Demestichas, as a justification of his views, recalls that practically all the countries, without excluding those neighbouring Greece, have for some time past considered the exceptional importance of aviation, as they are of the opinion that a powerful Air Force constitutes the best weapon for the defence of the country and is at the same time an efficient means to ensure the necessary mastery to the naval forces and the communications on sea.
A powerful airforce, Capt. Demestichas declares, will render important services, the principal being: to supply the first information regarding the enemy; to attempt the destruction of his naval forces and to attack the enemy fleet in its own base. For the whole duration of the war, the Air Force shall keep a constant watch on all the seas, chase and attack the submarines and the enemy ships; it will continually send wireless messages to the chiefs of the naval units during combats; it will discover the places where the enemy has put mines, so that the Greek ships may protect themselves against the danger; it will put up aerial fights against the enemy attacking, in conjunction with the Army Air Force, the means of communications and the military units; it will conduct the long-distance bombing by the big naval units; it will supply information regarding the movements of the enemy; it will facilitate the action of friendly ships by means of smoke bombs during the day and with illuminating bombs at night; Lastly, it will defend the country against aerial attacks by the enemy which, if not prevented, would have a disastrous effect on the morale of the inhabitants.
In order to achieve the above aims, it is essential to have aircraft of high speed and great manoeuvrability, so as to chase and destroy the enemy machines. It is also necessary to have aircraft for reconnaissance and for carrying out raids into the enemy's territory, and also heavy bombing machines and of long range, suitable in addition to be used for night work.
At the end of his report, Capt. Demestichas suggests the acquisition on the part of the Greek Government of 15-18 scout machines, 15-18 fighting and reconnaissance aircraft, 3 twin-engined machines for heavy bombing at long distance, 12 heavy bombing machines and 12 torpedo-carriers. He also suggests the purchase of 12 school machines for training purposes.
In this connection, it may be stated that 12 school machines have already been ordered, six of which are of the Avro "Lynx" type, which arrived in Greece at the end of April, 1925.
The purchase of all these machines demands a sum of about £400,000, and Capt. Demestichas suggests that these expenses should be entered in the balance-sheet of the Ministry of the Marine for the next two financial years.
The report, which has been considered by the Superior Council of Marine, was entirely approved and was communicated to the Ministry of Marine, to the Prime Minister and the Council of National Defence.
By special law published in 1925, a Greek Air Force Fund was endowed with a large amount of valuable property in Athens and other parts of Greece. Also, the Fund was authorised to collect voluntary contributions from all Greeks at home and abroad. By this organisation it was hoped that the Fund would collect sufficient finance to obviate the necessity of burdening the Budget with any special expense for the provision of an efficient Air Force.
According to recent information, the Municipality of Salonika has contributed sufficient money for the purchase of twenty-five aeroplanes, Kavala, the famous Macedonian tobacco town, has offered ten aircraft, and other Greek towns have offered smaller numbers. The result of the Fund would appear to be satisfactory.
The chief Naval Air Station is at Phaleron Bay, with an additional Seaplane Base at Suda Bay, Crete, and the machines used up to the point of re-organisation were D.H.9s (240 h.p. "Puma" engines) for reconnaissance purposes and Sopwith "Camels" for pursuit purposes.
A number of Naval officers have been sent abroad for training, and from these will be selected the training staff for the new reorganised service..."

Everyone can get involved! In a large congregation like Church of the Servant, people can feel lost in the crowd. Getting involved in areas like Bible studies, classes, or other ministry areas can quickly downsize this large church into a close community.
Part of Church of the Servant's mission is to make disciples
of Jesus Christ by facilitating opportunities for connection
and relationship with local, state, national, and international communities and by encouraging the sharing of our time, talents, gifts, prayers, and witness.
We believe people grow best when they are connected through relationships with others. From small groups and classes to volunteer opportunities and special events, Church of the Servant offers multiple ways to connect.

DENVER, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Officials in Colorado said they will stop charging anyone 21 or older for possessing small amounts of marijuana in light of a voter-passed referendum.
Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey and City Attorney Doug Friednash said Thursday they would stop pressing charges and would review pending cases a day after Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett announced he would dismiss pending cases that involved less than an ounce of pot, The Denver Post reported.
About 70 cases in Denver would apply to the new state constitutional amendment and would be candidates for dismissal. Cases involving other charges or individuals under the age of 21 would still be prosecuted, Denver District Attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough said.
Amendment 64, which allows the "personal use and regulation of marijuana" for adults 21 and over and allows adults to grow up to six marijuana plants in their homes, passed with 66 percent support in Denver and 54 percent statewide. It will go into effect 30 days after votes from the Nov. 6 election are certified.

Matt Williams necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 331 diseños de 56 diseñadores freelance.
Unison Limited
We need a design for a corporate logo for this innovative company whose primary role is to deliver accommodation/living solutions for the personnel of large corporations in the mining and resource industries. We do this by using established, recognised and respected partners who specialise in a particular technical area of expertise. Their main clients are mining companies, who need to accommodate large numbers of workers in miner's camps. However, Unison will expand into other areas so the logo can't be specific to this one sector or Industry.
Unison can manage all the requirements a company needs to set up a mining camp: i.e. it's a one-stop shop for design, manufacture, construction and finance of a client's project. The unique proposition of this company is that Unison's significant manufacturing capacity can be tailored to each client's needs is unparalleled in the region. There isn't any other company providing a service such as this. Separate companies that Unison represents within its business alliance cover the following services:
• Architecture and interior design
• Engineering
• Manufacturing of steel-framed modular housing
• Structured finance
Major international mining and resource industry clients (senior manager, purchasing managers), property developers, large international engineering and project management firms.
The unique proposition of this company is that a client can chose all the services, or they can decide to use only one or two of the services. Unison can tailor a contract package to suite any project and client. Plus, the significant manufacturing capacity that can be tailored to each client's needs is unparalleled in the region. There isn't any other company providing a service such as this.
Through this logo we would like to symbolise the bringing together all of the global experience of our partner companies and our major industry clients (hence the name Unison). Please feel free to explore all options - we would love to see your ideas.
The design must be strong, reliable, easily recognisable, simple, and more masculine than feminine. Some words used to describe Unison are:
1. Bringing expertise together
2. Confident
3. Simple to understand and easy to engage with
4. Well regarded
5. Experienced
6. Strong
7. Innovative
8. Connected
9. One of a kind
10. Flexible
11. Reliable – history of delivery
12. A leader not a follower
13. Good quality for value
The logo will need to be used on letterhead, and promotional material such as hats, T Shirts, work safety clothing, banners, pens etc.
The corporate font is Book Antiqua (11pt for general text). We are not suggesting using this font in the logo, just that the font used should be complementary.
Please note that regarding colours for the logo: no pastels or fluorescents, plus it must be able to be reproduced in black and white (if required). Since the logo needs to work on many mediums and products it can't be too intricate, and shouldn't use too many colours (2-3 max or 2 plus black/grey). The logo needs to work well in both landscape and portrait scenarios. We want to look at both the options of 'a symbol and typography' and just 'stylised typography' – whatever you feel is appropriate. Please avoid typography in all lower case.

Lloyd's Register: Lloyd's Register Thailand [ Change ]
+66 2 367 5594
This week, 30 March, voting on the draft of ISO 45001 began. ISO 45001 sets the requirements for an occupational health and safety management system and is currently being developed by ISO project committee ISO/PC 283.
ISO 45001 is currently at the committee draft stage of development, which is the third stage in the standards development process but the first consultation phase. During this stage, the countries (ISO members) that have chosen to participate in the development of the new standard have two months to comment on the draft.
ISO 45001 will replace OHSAS 18001 which was first published in 1999 to meet the need of organisations where no international health and safety standard existed. It is expected that the final version of ISO 45001 will be available in October 2016 although this timeline is subject to change.
You can find out more about the development of ISO 45001 on the ISO website.

I think they'll make an All-Stars over any other team in that season, unless they pick the winners like one of the teams in the first All Stars.
Bill and Cathi are personal favs, I wouldn't bring back Andi/Tommy because I don't want utter domination Nana has to be a lock such a fun team. Long hair don't care have UB definitely.Would love to see Pwinnie back (doubt it) and Joey/Meghan may be a lock for ratings.
I don't think Trexi will make it unless nearly every other team from TAR21 F6 declines.
I don't know how Pam & Winnie are all-star material. They weren't that entertaining, and plus they had a flat edit.

Theresa Caputo Live!
Star of TLC's Long Island Medium
UCF Arena – Friday, February 8th
Tickets go on-sale Friday, December 21st at 10am
Theresa Caputo, psychic medium and star of the hit TLC show, Long Island Medium, will be appearing live at the UCF Arena on Friday, February 8th at 7pm. Theresa will give interactive readings to audience members throughout the show and will also share personal stories about her life and her unique gifts. Tickets go on-sale Friday, December 21st at 10am and can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com, 1.800.745.300, or in person at the UCF Arena Ticket Office. Tickets start at $39.75 plus applicable service fees. A limited number of VIP tickets are available including a post-show meet and greet. Purchasing a ticket does not guarantee a reading.
Long Island Medium began its third season on TLC in September, following Theresa's life as a typical
Island wife and mom, except for one distinct difference…her
ability to communicate with the dead. Since she cannot "turn off" this gift, messages
can come through at any time and the local car mechanic, manicurist or cashier
at the bagel shop may find themselves receiving a spontaneous reading from
Theresa as she goes about her daily life. The show also covers how Theresa copes
with the special challenges that her unique abilities create for her husband of
22 years, Larry, and her two children, aged 17 and 21.
Theresa has been a practicing medium for 10 years and is a certified medium with the Forever-Family Foundation, an organization dedicated to connecting science with the afterlife. She helps individuals find closure by connecting them with their departed loved ones. For Theresa, this is not just her job... this is her life.
Kevin Yee is the author of numerous independent Disney books, including the popular Walt Disney World Earbook series and Walt Disney World Hidden History.

There are a lot of regular comedy shows here in Philadelphia, and in our new feature ShowFile (it's a profile of a show!) we are going to make sure you know a little bit about what is out there for you to enjoy. Our first Shofile is on Rant-O-Wheel, an improvised storytelling show held at Philly Improv Theater at 7:00PM on the first Wednesday of their two-week runs. We asked host Jaime Fountaine some questions about the show.
WITOUT: How long have you been doing Rant-O-Wheel?
Jaime Fountaine: The first Rant-O-Wheel show was held in August 2009, at The Dive, during my Second Stories show. We'd put one on every few months or so, until July of last year, when Greg Maughan gave me the opportunity to do a monthly show at PHIT.
WO: What gave you the idea for the show?
JF: My friend Steve Martinez told me about a game he used to play when he was hanging out with some anarchists (he's from California). They had a giant wicker wheel into which they'd woven slips of paper with various ideas and issues relating to social justice. You'd spin the wheel and then rant on the topic it had chosen for you. We thought if you shifted it from social change to storytelling, it could be a lot of fun.
WO: Explain the format of the show.
JF: At the beginning of every show, right after I make sure everyone knows what a noun is, I fill up the wheel with audience suggested words. Each contestant spins the wheel three times, and has five minutes to make up a story that includes all three of their words. The only rule is that you can't use all three words in rapid succession and then expect to talk for another four-and-a-half minutes. Other than that, anything is fair game.
WO:Do you have any favorite moments from your time hosting the show (any especially memorable stories, or surprise guests?)
JF: One the most surprising performers was a man that volunteered under the name "Douche #7" who, instead of telling a story, warbled an off-pitch version of "I Can't Live (If Living is Without You)". Then he disappeared into the night.
It usually helps when shows take on themes, whether it's because I've put one in place (like when Steve moved to Baltimore), because the audience has agreed on a certain theme through their noun suggestions, or because of some other factor, like the time the show turned into a hotbed of awkward sexual oversharing that just kept snowballing.
There have been a lot of great stories to come out of the show, although I think my favorite is still the story that grew out of Steve and I trying to finish half a wheel of words by ourselves and turned into the story of how we, the illegitimate children of an itinerant Native American brush salesmen, came to find each other in a desert.
WO: What are the elements that make up a good Rant-O-Wheel story?
JF: Confidence, whether or not you're faking it, is key. If you believe that you can sell a story about scalpings, vacuum cleaner repair, and Walla Walla, Washington, the audience is much more likely to go along with you. Some people find it easier to go up there with the framework of a real-life experience or an existing story (like The Little Mermaidor Blood Meridian), but it's not necessary. It can also help to be a little, but not overly drunk. It helps with bravado.
WO: What is it about comedic storytelling that you love? What about it is different from other types of comedy?
JF: I'm a writer more than I'm a comedian. Even when I'm doing comedy, it's more a character telling a story than straightforward jokes. I'm a lot more interested in the backstory than I am the set-up and punchline, laying down an entire universe for the audience, and then trying to convince them to live in it for five minutes. Some people can do that with jokes, which I admire, but I need the space to sprawl out.
The Rant-O-Wheel format is especially exciting, because it's about beating the limitations of a few words and a few minutes. It's not exactly the stuff of OuLiPo, but it's in a similar spirit – that a lot of fascinating things can still come out of a very controlled environment.
Since the show really depends on audience participation, the show is audience-driven in a very different way than a lot of other comedy shows. They don't just set the tone; they're the impetus for the entertainment. Everyone is responsible.

BERKELEY, Calif. -
The No. 15 Gauchos (7-10, 0-1) dropped both matches of the day at the Northern California Water Polo Tournament by falling to top-ranked UCLA 8-3 and UC Davis 6-5 on Saturday in Berkeley, Calif.
In the first match of the day, UCSB faced off against the Bruins and found itself in an early hole. UCLA outscored the Gauchos 4-1 in the first quarter and upped its lead to 5-2 at halftime. In the third quarter, the Bruins laid on the defense by shutting out the Gauchos, while scoring two goals for themselves. Entering the fourth quarter the score read 7-2 in favor of the top-ranked squad. Both teams exchanged notches in the fourth, and UCLA went on to defeat UCSB by a count of 8-3. Sophomore Robbie Bauer, freshman Danny Natalizio, and senior Ramiro Saldain each netted a goal for the Gauchos. Sophomore goalkeeper Rick Wright tallied seven saves between the pipes for UCSB.
UCSB battled UC Davis in the second match of the day. This time it was UCSB who would jump out to the early lead by scoring the only goal of the first quarter. The second quarter proved different for the Gauchos when Davis posted three unanswered goals to take a 3-1 halftime lead. The two teams exchanged goals in the third quarter, so the Aggies took a two goal advantage into the final quarter. UCSB did manage to tally three goals in the final period, but it also gave up two and the Gauchos were edged 6-5. Miles Price found the back of the net twice in the match, while Natalizio, Coulson Lantz, and Saldain each tallied one goal. The goal was the second for Natalizio and Saldain on the tournament. Wright posted 12 saves in goal for the Gauchos.
UCSB will continue tournament action tomorrow when it takes on UC Santa Cruz at 8 a.m. in Miramonte High School's Bill Brown Aquatics Center.

We are pleased to explain you, the meaning of the different types of meals
served in tapa's bars in Barcelona, as follows:
*Tapas:* This is the general name for small dishes of food that are served
to be shared. They can vary widely and cover anything from a bowl of
almonds or olives to a plate of grilled prawns.**
*Raciones:* On menus you will often see the dishes marked with two separate
prices – one for tapas and one for raciones. This will simply be the same
dish, but a bigger portion of it – ideal for when you're really hungry!
*Pinchos.* This is a concept that originates from the Basque region of
Spain. Pinchos are like mouth sized tapas – always served on top of pieces
of bread. They are also sometimes called 'Montaditos'.
*Platos Combinados:* This is the name often given to what we might call
'meat and two veg' – an entire meal on a plate. However, it sometimes also
relates to tapas. Plato Combinado is a larger plate containing a variety
of the tapas that are on offer.

According to Florida statutes, a sexual offender is a person convicted of (or who has pled no contest or guilty to) a sex offense involving a minor and who is released on or after October 1, 1997 from the sanction (e.g., fine, incarceration, probation, etc.) imposed as a result of the offense. Offenses include, but aren't limited to, child pornography, sexual performance by a child under 18 and procuring a person under 18 for purposes of prostitution. Consult the Florida statutes for a complete listing of offenses.
A predator designation requires that a person be convicted of a first-degree felony sex crime, or two second-degree felony sex crimes (with offenses, convictions or release from court sanctions occurring within 10 years) and which occurred after October 1, 1993. In addition, the court must issue a written order finding for predator status.
Florida law requires sexual offenders and sexual predators to register their address with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement or the local sheriff's office. Details on registration requirements are available at FDLE's web site; a searchable database of predators and offenders residing in Florida is also available at the FDLE site.

stage II laryngeal cancer
(... luh-RIN-jee-ul KAN-ser)
Stage II depends on where the cancer started. If it started in the supraglottis, then cancer is in more than one area of the supraglottis or surrounding tissue. If it started in the glottis, then cancer has spread to the supraglottis and/or the subglottis, and/or the vocal cords cannot move normally. If it started in the subglottis, then cancer has spread to one or both vocal cords, which may not move normally.
