4.0 out of 5 stars Makes CSS "Click"
I had picked up several other CSS books that were basically CSS Language References. I got the impression that CSS was basically a more complicated way to accomplish what "font" and similar tags already did. Who needs that? Turns out, I was doing CSS all wrong and just making my life harder.
This book, however, was the first book I read that really showed how CSS is...

This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
While there are some useful concepts in here, they are usually completely glossed over or refer you elsewhere with a link to someone elses web site.
The first 2 chapters are especially frustrating. There are so many errors i found myself actually shouting out loud. He makes statements without backing them up (I thought this was going to be an oppinionated book by a master in his field). The sidebars and captions are so unhelpful and seem to refer to diagrams and screenshots that are not even there (figures 2.4 and 2.5 are identical with different descriptions and captions).
I thought - ok this is a terribly inconsistent error-laden book and the technical reviewers are obviously not really paying any attention here... but it will be ok because the errata will correct it all online ... WRONG!!! All the errata serves to do is correct minor typos (spaces that should be removed in urls etc) and doesn't address any of the technical errors in the book. Mine is the reprinted 2003 version so they had a second chance but clearly didn't use it.
The css code used is incredibly inconsistent, and he makes changes to it from one step to the next, often without a mention as to why.
listing 4.17 (partial)
.sidecol {
padding: 0 22px 0 22px3%;
where does the 3% come from? clearly a typo - but in the errata it reinforces this typo. The code that you can download is correct but what confidence can you have when the errata is wrong.
I am reading this book to learn something - i'm not going to use the code for every example because some of it is too simplistic and I dont need to, but when the book is incorrect it just slows you down so much.
Just simply frustrating. This might seem like a simplistic example, and it is. You may be saying - see past it, it's only a typo. But they are everywhere and it's just maddening. He clearly knows his stuff, I just don't necessarily think he writes about it in a good way.
1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written and confusing,
David Powers (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
I bought this book because of Christopher Schmitt's high reputation, and because I'd heard so many positive reports about it. Christopher Schmitt does have a good sense of design, and he uses CSS in an imaginative way, but he's no writer or teacher. The book would be more aptly renamed "Random Thoughts about Web Design". The first two chapters burble on about design principles - important issues, but others have written about the subject far more cogently. Then a chapter about style rules that is likely to confuse the hell out of anyone not already well-versed in CSS. After a few designs, you're then plunged into the mysteries of handling PNG and SVG with CSS. (Yes, those graphics formats that are not supported by the vast majority of browsers in current use.) And where are the basic rules about creating borders, styling text, and other useful things? In an appendix, that's where. Unless Christopher Schmitt can get a better editor to knock some sense of coherence into his thoughts, he should stick to design, and stay well clear of writing. Sorry, this is one of the worst computer books I've read in a long time.
4.0 out of 5 stars Makes CSS "Click",
Jim McMullen (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
I had picked up several other CSS books that were basically CSS Language References. I got the impression that CSS was basically a more complicated way to accomplish what "font" and similar tags already did. Who needs that? Turns out, I was doing CSS all wrong and just making my life harder.
This book, however, was the first book I read that really showed how CSS is supposed to be done to make your web design life easier. In the middle of reading this book, it suddenly "clicked" in my head... Mr. Schmitt shows how you can take a plain vanilla page with no formatting whatsoever and turn it into a beautiful layout and design using CSS -- and then reformat it with a few keystrokes. The most valuable parts of the book are the ones in which he demonstrates how to mark up various portions of a page using structural div tags, and then format those portions with CSS style sheets. And there are pages and pages of samples at the end of the book that basically show you how duplicate things you see in printed brochures and ads.
I've read some of the negative comments from other reviewers, and in my opinion, what they are complaining about is CSS itself -- this stuff is really HARD to learn to do well! But this book is a very good place to begin. It's not the only book you'll need on the subject, but it'll train you to think of CSS in the right way and get you ready to use those CSS language reference books effectively.
Get this book first.
5.0 out of 5 stars The ideal choice for visual designers,
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
I'm a graphic designer and have gathered some solid background in web design through the years.
The moment I saw Christopher's tutorial "Web Page Reconstruction with CSS" [the website] on Digital Web Magazine mentioning the upcoming book, I immediately knew that this was the book for me.
It turned out to be an eye-opening experience starting with the structured content and moving towards the "styled" end result purely with the implementation of css. I have looked at several other books on css and while many of them provided valuable in-depth knowledge none of them created a spark for me like "Designing CSS Web Pages" did. Like no other author Christopher shows in simple examples how CSS can be used to actually work on the look of pages, accompanied by the underlying code. That makes it the perfect companion for the visual designers out there.
Even the so-called appendix has a lot to offer: the 50 formatting exercises show you how to create variations of a headline followed by a paragraph: headlines separated by various line styles, headlines left-, right- and centre-aligned, headlines residing in their own, coloured box tucked into the text block, headlines spiced up by background images... you name it!
For those that have a basic background the book opens up a bunch of new possibilities - it really is that good.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Place to Start,
Darren H. "D Hood" (SOUTHFIELD, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
As a person with 8 years of web design experience, I know all too well that things are constantly changing. The vast majority of those years were spent creating table-based layouts. I needed something to jump start me and help me make the switch from table-based to CSS layouts. This book served as the perfect tool.
In reading other reviews, where people complained about errors, I didn't run into this problem. I guess that's because of the way I use books. I simply took the code that Mr. Schmitt has in the book, downloaded the great examples on the book's site, and played with the code enough to gain a solid understanding of the principles that he presented.
Coupling the book's topics with other info readily available on the web and via CSS mailing lists, creating sites with CSS has been (for the most part) a pain-free experience.
My advice? I definitely recommend this book. Just take it with a grain of salt (like any other book or product) and do all you can to get the most out of it. The author definitely knows his stuff, so overall, you can't go wrong.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Design Reference (not CSS language reference),
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
First, let me point out that this book is NOT a language/syntax reference for CSS. There are many other (mostly larger) books and web resources that cover the technical details of CSS.
With that said, I found this book to be an excellent design resource. As W3C standards become increasingly accepted, one of the key tasks for web designers is to master separation of content from presentation. XHTML, XML, XSL and CSS are all key components in the effort to streamline web code by separating the "what" from the "how-its-viewed." Designing CSS Web Pages is an excellent primer on how to retool your designs using a more sophisticated approach.
The CSS examples presented in the book are simple, but effective. As a programmer, I spend most of my time worrying about data, not how it looks. The examples helped me quickly transform a project from a boring HTML table-layout into a professional-level presentation. Schmitt's examples demonstrate how to achieve many common effects such as multi-column layouts, layering and a myriad of formatting examples for text. Further, the examples are practical and approachable for most people. Many programming tutorials start with simple examples then proceed to advanced cases without covering the middle. While the exercises in Schmitt's book aren't in laid out as a tutorial, they do demonstrate aspects of CSS that most people will actually use when creating CSS-styled web projects. I found them neither too simple, nor too extravagant (CSS can create some interesting effects). This book focuses on real, practical results.
Finally, the extra sections on non-web CSS usage were interesting, and in the case of the printed examples, quite useful, as found I was able to eliminate some code by simply having CSS create my printer-formatted pages (easier for the user, too). In addition, the interviews with various people involved in the web standards and design community helps highlight the effort to make development on the Internet as consistent and efficient as possible,
Overall, I found this book to be a great companion as I reworked my projects to use CSS. Again, you will want to refer to a complete language reference when writing your CSS code, but I would recommend Designing CSS Web Pages as a style reference for anyone creating new web pages in the proper, content-separated manner.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a good book, but not for everyone.,
Shashank Tripathi (Gadabout) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
In terms of quality, I'd rate this book as high as anything from Glasshaus, most prominently "Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation".
This book covers a lot of the same ground as the Glasshaus title but I found it particularly useful due to its slightly more graphic design bent. The code samples in the book are not merely basic utility layouts (2 columns, 3 columns, vertical centering etc), but more aesthetically 'designed' examples of using CSS -- a feature clearly missing in a lot of books aimed at the 'web developer' community. I'd venture to say I am not one of those to get so enamoured with the technology itself that they fail to see it as a handy means to an end. I really value Schmitt's efforts in this sense.
There are many CSS techniques in the W3C specifications that are poorly, inconsistently, or not supported at all, in even the latest browsers. As a practising designer, and not just an academic, Christopher is only too happy to point out the limitations of browsers and explains some of the many pitfalls that await the unwary if you try to push the envelope too far.
The projects, again downloadable from the publisher's Web site, focus on publishing - in business, personal and 'underground' styles. The typography is a lot fancier than any other book I've seen and the attention to detail, even for 'web' typography, is highly commendable.
An earlier review on this website said this book is not well technically edited. I am not sure why that was said, but I work with Opera 6 (and 7 beta), Mozilla 0.9 and above, netscape 6 and above and IE 4 and above. All samples I have tried have impressed me.
In sum, if you want to separate your content from design and give your 'styles' some, er, style, AND if you are fairly familiar with the basic CSS lingo (i.e., you dont need to know box models or glish but should understand what a link rel is), then this is probably a very useful book for you. If you are looking for a very basic introduction to CSS, I'd strongly recommend the Glasshaus book. If you are serious about your work, get both.
4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and Easy to Understand,
Art lover "painter_lady" (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
Unlike some of the recent reviewers of this book, I found Christopher Schmitt's book very enjoyable and easy to read. I like the way he takes a completely unstyled page and shows you how to take each section and give it some "pizazz." His method's are logical and his results are nice to look at, without being overdone.
People who are heavily into "slicing and dicing" graphics and creating complex table structures may have a hard time with this book, because it puts the *content* first, not the visual effects. But, the future of the living web needs us to get out of that mode and to start thinking about communication of ideas and written content. Schmitt's book does a good job of presenting the information and the appendices in the back of the book are a great resource, too.
My only "quibble" with the book is the large section on SVG which really isn't too helpful, at least not yet. However, before reading this book, I only had a dim idea of what SVG even meant, so I did learn something and will be looking for the advancement of this graphics format in the future.
You will also need to read other books on this topic. My recommendations are for Eric Meyer's books (all of them, but especially "Eric Meyer on CSS") and if you use Dreamweaver MX, Project Seven has a wonderful eBook,"Foundations," that is terrific for putting CSS to work while teaching you best practices of working with Dreamweaver.
2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written and edited book,
Mike Yearling (Granville, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
I was drawn to this book because of a line that appeared inside the front cover: 'Designing CSS Web Pages came about because the material available for web builders to use CSS always seemed to be knee-deep in geek speak that produced only superficial design enhancements." I have neither the time nor interest to purchase those 1200 page doorstops, so I bought this book in the hopes that it would impart the essence of CSS quickly and clearly, focusing on the practical over the theoretical.
Well, I ended up returning the book to the bookstore because it was so poorly written and edited. The author's knowledge is clearly advanced, but I needed to read each page six or seven times to grasp even the simplest concepts. Clearly he's lived in the trenches and has a lot of nice advice to help us all avoid common problems, but I rarely understood what he was saying! Then he'd move on so quickly.
For example, he'd have this to say about Cascading guidelines:
"Cascade Guideline #1: in the media type (screen, printer, and so on), look for all the declarations for an element and property. The style is rendered if the selector and element match."
Huh? And that's all he would say about that. No example and no clarification of brand new terms (what's a "selector"). And the number of typos throughout the book are too numerous to mention.
(Epilogue: I sent this review to New Riders and they bent over backwards to restore my confidence in them. They immediately sent me a free copy of Eric Meyer's new book on CSS which was wonderful. I was very impressed with the way they handled it.)
1.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to Read,
Chad Harrington "Chad Harrington" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing CSS Web Pages (Paperback)
This book is the worst-edited technical book I have read in a very long time. It was painful to read. Here are a few of the issues:
- Using new terms / jargon before explaining them (if they get explained at all)
- Awkward sentences & paragraphs; difficult to follow
- Misspellings (not many, but enough to notice)
- Poor organization; the haphazard flow confused me multiple times.
I read a large quantity of technical literature each month. I have come to expect a certain level of professionalism from major publishers. New Riders should be ashamed of itself for letting such shoddy editing out their door. I don't particularly blame the author; he seems to be an expert on the subject, not an accomplished writer. It is the publisher's responsibility to handle the issues that make this book nearly unreadable.
This book did acquaint me with CSS, and the author does a good job of advocacy. I am converted to the CSS doctrine. Unfortunately, now I have to go buy another book (from a more established publisher) in order to use CSS.

• A haunted house is set for 4-9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 29, and Saturday, Oct. 30, and 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 31, at Highlands University's Hewett Hall on National Avenue between 11th and 12th streets. Admission is $3. Organizers said it will be child safe and family friendly.
Upon reading Mr. Rico Giron's platform for running for San Miguel County sheriff, I felt compelled to write this letter endorsing him and also to ask San Miguel County residents to do the same.
In August, while I was at Highlands University taking pictures at a town hall meeting with the New Mexico Department of Higher Education, I saw my old buddy, longtime Highlands University Recruiting Director Gil Gonzales. He stopped and asked me if I could set up a meeting with him and some of our officials here at Luna Community College about a 2 plus 2 initiative.
A Mora County sheriff's transport officer was found Monday driving drunk in an unmarked sheriff's car on Interstate 25, state police said.
Ramon Montoya, 28, of Sapello, was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated.
His blood-alcohol level was reported at .30, more than three times the state's presumed level of intoxication.
Montoya, who started in July, is on unpaid leave from the Sheriff's Department pending an internal investigation. He is an uncommissioned officer who transports inmates.
Conni Reichert, director of Allied Health Sciences at Luna Community College, has taught hundreds of students throughout her years as a nursing instructor.
Reichert, a native of Iowa, started her career at Luna in 1999 as a part-time nursing instructor following a self-directed tour of New Mexico with her husband Steve.
"We love this area," Reichert said. "I wanted to teach nursing. We also found that Las Vegas had a rich post-secondary education infrastructure for our children."
Las Vegas resident Robert Jones isn't shy about saying that he grows marijuana plants in his house. His cancer qualifies him as a legal user.
But that apparently doesn't matter to San Miguel County's housing voucher program — known as Section 8.
On Oct. 12, the program's executive director, Gilbert Almanza, informed Jones that he would no longer be getting the Section 8 benefit, effective Nov. 30.
The city of Las Vegas is encouraging children to trick-or-treat on Sunday after all.
Last week, the mayor said the city would ask that kids go trick-or-treating on Saturday.
But he said the city had a "change of heart" after protests.
"City Hall was bombarded with calls. People said they wanted Sunday. I hadn't heard nice comments about Saturday," the mayor said.
Old Town merchants are still inviting trick-or-treaters to go to their area Friday afternoon.
Patricia Crespin, who calls Las Vegas home, is set to appear on stage for the upcoming "Bless Me, Ultima" show.
Crespin is part of award-winning Vortex Theatre's performance of Rudolfo Anaya's book- turned-into-play. The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Highlands University's historic Ilfeld Auditorium.
Retired educator Mel Root is facing state Rep. Richard Vigil, D-Ribera, in the District 70 House race.
Vigil, a bus contractor, has represented the district since 1999 and beat the Republican Root with 70 percent of the vote two years ago.
The heavily Democratic district covers much of San Miguel County, including most of Las Vegas, and a small portion of Torrance County.
West Las Vegas has designs on the regular-season District 2-3A volleyball title.
Robertson is looking to play spoiler.

Maternal Health and HIV: Global Priorities for Research and Action
January 13, 2014 // 12:00pm — 4:00pm
Despite the fact that with proper interventions, the likelihood of mother-to-child transmission of HIV is less than five percent, expectant mothers with HIV or AIDS often face intense stigma and marginalization from health care providers around the world. As a result, in some areas, the mortality rate for mothers with HIV is five times greater than the rate for non-infected women

Risk and Resilience: Sudan's Livelihoods Challenge
November 13, 2013 // 8:55am — 11:00am
Sudan's pastoralists gained infamy during the conflict in Darfur last decade, when outsiders described the violence as a result of competition between climate-stressed, semi-nomadic herders and sedentary farmers. But Sudan's pastoralists may not be as fragile as previously thought and could even hold the key to survival for similar groups in Africa, said a panel of experts at the Wilson Center on November 13.

Impacting the Future: Luvuyo Mandela's Perspective
October 16, 2013 // 11:00am — 12:30pm
Luvuyo Mandela, Social Entrepreneur, delivered a keynote address on South Africa's story of struggle, hope, trial & error, and lessons learned. While South Africa has come a long way from the days of apartheid and oppression, and possesses a promising future, this generation feels the pressure to be a beacon of democracy, peace, and inclusion on the continent and for the world. Theirs is a task to maintain the positive momentum that will move the country forward. The youth are key to bringing this future to fruition and through active and engaged citizenship South Africa's promise can be realized.
The Demographic Dividend: Economic Growth With Changing Age Structures
October 15, 2013 // 12:00pm — 2:00pm
In the latter half of last century, Thailand and other East Asian countries successfully capitalized on shifts in their age structures to gain a boost in economic productivity, a phenomenon known as the demographic dividend. Today, despite the hitherto sluggish pace of Africa's demographic transition, scholars and politicians remain hopeful that similar changes on the continent may lead to faster development in coming decades.

Smoke Free Bryan Park Plan Comes Under Fire From CouncilA Salem City Councilman is raising concerns about a South Central Illinois Health Coalition's proposal to make Bryan Memorial Park smoke free. Lindy Payne with the Marion County Health Department came before the Salem City Council Monday night to make the request. Councilman David Black had concerns.
"The idea that you're outside and have open air--I don't see how thats harmful unless you're sitting right next to them. I don't like government intervening in everything--they want to recognize the majority, but they don't want to recognize the minority" Black said.
Payne agreed to return with a scaled back request.
"Our focus is not the whole park in general, rather the places that children are playing. Parents bring their children tot he park to have the fresh air and not be exposed to secondhand smoke" Payne said.
Payne will be visiting all governmental bodies in Marion and Clinton Counties in an attempt to make more outside public areas smoke free. The multi-county South Central Illinois Health Coalition has obtained a state grant for the project. The group is also working on coordinated school health, worksite wellness, complete streets and baby friendly hospitals.

Catholic Memorial High School in Waukesha announced Tuesday that it intends to participate in the new statewide voucher program this fall. The school will look to offer state-funded seats to roughly 10 freshmen and sophomore students who otherwise could not afford to attend the private school.
In order to be eligible for the program, however, the school will need to be among the top 25 voucher application-recipients in the state from Aug. 1 to 9, which is how the Department of Public Instruction will determine which schools are selected to participate in the fall.
"It looks like it's going to be hard to get," Catholic Memorial President Father Paul Hartmann said. "We may or may not make the cut this first year."
Statewide, total voucher student enrollment outside of Milwaukee and Racine counties is capped at 500 students this year. Also, in any public school district, no more than 1% of total enrollment can leave and opt for a state-funded private education.
Each of the 25 selected schools will take on a minimum of 10 voucher students, and Hartmann said Catholic Memorial would likely only accept vouchers near that minimum number due to the relatively small size of the school and short time to prepare before the fall.
Each year, Catholic Memorial High School enrolls about 700 total students. Any voucher students the school may potentially enroll this year would be added in addition spots already filled or available, Hartmann said.
For families within Catholic Memorial's supporting parishes, tuition next year for one student costs $9,450 with discounts for each successive, concurrently attending child. For other Wisconsin families, tuition costs $10,550 with similar discounts for additional children. Vouchers would allow children from families in Waukesha earning 185% of the federal poverty limit or less, or no more than $43,752 for a family of four, to attend the school at the state's expense.
Earlier this month, the Journal Sentinel reported that more than 130 schools across the state are planning on applying for the program this year, including some that have begun marketing campaigns aimed at drawing in additional students.
Hartmann said Catholic Memorial had not budgeted to carry out an extensive marketing campaign and that most outreach will be done through local parishes.
Across the state, public school officials, including state Superintendent Tony Evers have decried the voucher system, saying it takes tax money away from public schools and funnels it into private schools that aren't held accountable to taxpayers.
"I would guess we may lose some students to CMH," Waukesha Superintendent Todd Gray said. "The statewide cap is 500 for this next year, so I'm estimating there will be a fairly large amount of students statewide that will be vying for a voucher and end up on a waiting list."

Todd Mitchell: A worldly view of basketball
In Their Words is a weekly feature appearing Sundays in The Blade's sports section. Blade sports writer Donald Emmons recently talked with St. Francis de Sales graduate Todd Mitchell about life and basketball.
Todd Mitchell knows his place in history when it comes to high school basketball in Toledo.
He and his close friend, Jim Jackson, led their respective high school teams to state championships. Mitchell, a 1984 graduate, reminds Jackson that it was St. Francis - not Macomber - that brought the first boys state basketball championship trophy back to Toledo.
Mitchell, in his junior year, stood front and center for coach Val Glinka as the Knights marched to the 1983 Class AAA state crown.
Mitchell went on to a stellar college career at Purdue in which he helped lead the Boilermakers to back-to-back Big Ten championships (1987 and 1988). He averaged 13.7 points while shooting 54.1 percent over four years at Purdue. He was drafted by Denver in the second round (43rd pick overall) of the 1988 NBA draft. The Nuggets cut him before the season began, but Mitchell had stints playing in Miami, San Antonio and Orlando.
But most of his professional career was spent overseas. He was based in Italy for three years, Greece for three years, and France and Israel for a year each before he was forced to retire after suffering a life-threatening blood clot.
Mitchell has returned to Toledo and works as a pharmaceutical sales representative. He also spends time in the summer with Jackson and Dennis Hopson running their basketball camp held at the University of Toledo.
"I THOUGHT WE had a good team [at St. Francis]. As we started to gel early on we played Bowsher and lost by one point, which ended up being our only loss of the year against Dennis [Hopson] on some kind of freakish play. I think that really got us focused and we finished 27-1. We ended up being No. 5 in the nation in the USA Today Top 25.
"I think that team was a model of what kind of pieces you need in order to win championships. When I see the San Antonio Spurs win a championship, the same pieces that they have are the same pieces that we had when we won, but obviously on a smaller scale.
"You have guys who really want to do the dirty work. Leaders on the court like Shawn Reid. He was a great leader and defender. Then we had a guy, Roy Ware, who could just flat-out shoot the ball. Then, myself, an interior player who could play defense and block shots and score. Then we had guys who could fill in and do their jobs."
"I NARROWED [my college choices] to five schools - Purdue, UCLA, Kentucky, Syracuse and North Carolina. I liked Ohio State, but Dennis [Hopson] had went to Ohio State the year before and we played the same position. I didn't want to fight my friend for playing time. He wanted me to come there and called me every day, but like I said, I didn't want to fight him for the same minutes.
"The decision that ended up bringing me to Purdue was they had won the Big Ten championship the year before when nobody thought they could win with probably second-tier players. I also thought it was a great place to get a great education and coach [Gene Keady] graduated his players, and my parents thought that was big.
"I originally had committed to UCLA verbally, but as I mulled it over a little more it was just too far. At that time, cable wasn't what it is now. My parents maybe would have only been able to see me play once or twice a year.
"To be able to go to Purdue, it was far enough away for me to be independent but my parents could still drive to home games, as well as they could catch the Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State games when we were on the road."
"MY FIRST START ever [at Purdue] was when I was a freshman and it was in Bloomington [Ind., at Indiana University]. Coach put me in the starting lineup that morning in the shoot-around and I was as nervous as could be. It turned out to be the [Bob Knight] chair-throwing game. It's funny because I get to re-experience the short shorts every year because they replay the chair game all the time."
"PLAYING FOR KEADY, no question, was tough. He reminded me a lot of my father, and I think that's why my father liked him when he came to the house to visit.
"I think that experience really taught me a lot about the fundamentals of the game because coach was big into that and what it takes to win championships and how to prepare. A lot of times we beat teams just because we were more prepared.
"Over those years, for example, like Michigan, we beat them on a consistent basis although they had superior talent. In fact, in those days they had [NBA-bound players] Gary Grant, Rumeal Robinson, Roy Tarpley, Terry Mills and Loy Vaught."
"THAT [NBA DRAFT] was a real nervous time for me and I ended up going to Denver. That was the first time in my life that in basketball somebody told me I wasn't good enough and I ended up getting cut. That brought a whole new perspective to basketball - a different side of the game.
"But it made me continue to work and I got an opportunity to play with the Heat after that. To have an opportunity to be considered one of the best athletes in the world - whether you're there for a year or 10 years - is a great opportunity to have made it to that level. I can always say I had an opportunity to do that.
"Would I have liked to have played 10 years, 11 years? Sure. But that wasn't meant to be.
"The one thing that I can say is I played against the best that I think ever played. Larry Bird was still playing. Magic Johnson was still playing. Michael Jordan was at his peak. I had a chance to play against those guys."
"I THOUGHT I'D GO [overseas] for a year and play and get my stock up. One year turned into eight years. I've had a chance to see probably everyplace you could see in Europe. I got a chance to see how other people live. The changes in Warsaw from when I went there in '91 and when I went back there in '98 are like night and day.
"They were all great places, but as we see what Tel Aviv and Israel look like now it was so different back then. It was a great place to live [in the early 1990s] and it was probably the most Americanized city that I played in. The city itself was basically like New York, but in the Mediterranean. If you could imagine New York located in Miami."
"WE, AS AMERICANS, are really perceived as being overbearing in a lot of ways by people in other countries. A lot of times we're perceived as, 'It's our way or the highway.' In my opinion, the Iraq war is just another example of 'our way or the highway.'
"We think we know what's best for them, but who knows what the best for them is? Democracy is great for us. It's worked well, but who are we to say that it's going to work the same way for somebody else?"
"I WAS IN FRANCE and had a pulmonary embolism. I was warming up before a game and just passed out. I could've died. I was in a Paris hospital for 13 days to dissolve the clot with blood thinners.
"When I came back to the states the doctors said I would be on blood thinners after that and it would probably be best that I retire. That's when it kind of hit me that there's going to be another phase in my life and I would have to switch gears."

Originally written on The Sports Bank | Last updated 12/3/11
Derick Brassard, last season's 1st line center for the Columbus Blue Jackets and the former overall number six pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, has been a 'healthy scratch' – a common NHL term for being benched – seven of his previous ten team's contests until his being inserted into the lineup, last night. While Brassards's performance has been extremely disappointing, to peg his struggles as one of the primary reasons for the Blue Jackets disastrous start is simply not accurate. In short, where do you start? In Friday's Columbus Dispatch, Aaron Portzline reported the following. In short, Brassard's agent, Allan Walsh, feels that his client is being singled out as the fall guy for the Blue Jackets ills by head coach Scott Arniel. Now if you think that Walsh's comments are the result of an overbearing agent coddling his client, I offer you the following: Does this stalemate ring a bell? At the beginning of last season, former Blue Jackets defenseman Mike Commodore was the bel...

Pay for Loan Operations Specialists in the United States is very modest at just $39K annually. Career length is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. Most Loan Operations Specialists like their work and job satisfaction is high. Most Loan Operations Specialists survey respondents are women (71 percent). Most enjoy medical while a strong majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to the greater part. The data in this summary comes from the PayScale salary survey.

Survey results suggest that Loan Operations Specialists use a fairly large toolkit of professional skills. Most notably, facility with Consumer Loans, Commercial Loans, and Loan Processing are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 39 percent, 36 percent, and 5 percent, respectively. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Auditing and General Ledger Accounting. Loan Documents and Loan Processing are correlating skills — those who know the former usually know the latter.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Loan Operations Specialists, level of experience appears to be a somewhat less important part of the salary calculation — more experience does not correlate to noticeably higher pay. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $33K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $38K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $40K. As Loan Operations Specialists reach more than two decades on the job, compensation remains commensurate with experience; the average pay in this group is $45K.

WOW!!! This is our 3rd Solstice class ship and they keep getting better. Plenty of room everywhere. Never felt crowded. Indoor adult only pool is a big plus. The only thing i didn't like was that they didn't have a hot glass show like they do on the Solstice. Instead it was replaced with another pay to eat restaurant that never had more then 5 people at it. Otherwise what a great ship.
Couldn't have been nicer. Everyone wanted to do everything they could to help. The best i have ever seen.
Wonderful food all around. From the buffet to the main dining room. Nothing but the best.
We had an obstructed view balcony room on the 6th deck. The room was fine. No issues. However the balcony view was a little more obstructed them I had thought it would've been. Not a huge deal since I did expect some obstruction. More However I was a little surprised how much the life boats obstructed the view. For the price I would stay in the same room again.
SanJaun - so so, not much to do
St. Maarten - GREAT PORT. Tons to do and great beach right off the pier.
St. Kitts - Very nice. Quiet beaches just a few miles away. Lots to do.
No problems here. Easy as can be.
Highly recommend Celebrity Cruises to everyone looking for a great cruise and the Celebrity Reflection will not disappoint. Less

For many, there are two time periods; life before 911 and life after 911.
For those of us old enough to remember, they are entirely two different worlds.
Heightened alert, intense scrutiny and much trepidation followed in the wake of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center more than a decade ago.
During World War II, that same fear surrounded many Japanese-Americans who were rounded up and put into internment camps.
Fast forward more than a half century later, many Muslim-Americans are feeling a similar pain of scrutiny from law enforcement and government officials in the years since September 11th, 2001.
Now, controversy is brewing around the New York City Police Department, a week after an Associated Press investigation reported the NYPD to be monitoring dozens of Muslim student groups at universities and colleges on the Northeast.
Muslim leaders are calling the surveillance unconstitutional and want the New York Attorney General to investigate reports of secret surveillance of Muslim communities by the New York City Police Department.
The NYPD surveillance was conducted with the help of seasoned CIA officers where intelligence investigators visited websites, blogs and forums of Muslim student associations at the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers University in New Brunswick and 13 other colleges in the Northeast, including Yale in Connecticut.
Yale University President Richard Levin called such surveillance, "antithetical to the values" of Yale and to the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Muslim student associations at several New Jersey universities have signed a letter in solidarity protesting the surveillance calling it unwarranted while the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Rutgers University officials have also pushed for an investigation.
Police say they were interested in the Muslim student group at Rutgers as far back as 2009, when undercover NYPD officers had a safe house in an apartment not too far from campus. The operation was uncovered when a building superintendent stumbled upon the safe house and, believing it was a terrorist cell, called a police emergency dispatcher.
Student groups were of particular interest to the NYPD because they attract young Muslim men terrorist groups frequently target to recruit.

Originally written on NY Rangers Blog | Last updated 2/28/13
The New York Rangers (9-8-2) used the returns of Michael Del Zotto, Ryan McDonagh and Rick Nash to defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning (9-10-1) in dominant fashion at MSG Thursday night 4-1 and end a four game losing streak. For a full box score of tonight's game, head over to Yahoo! Sports. - To me, by far the most complete effort of the season in terms of everyone contributing in their own ways and playing to their roles. They also never stopped generating offense—an aspect that's been lacking all season long. - None of the returning players from injury looked like they missed a beat. At all, which is remarkable to even think about. And none looked better than Rick Nash, who notched a career high 12 shots on net and made an immediate impact. A sick goal to reward his effort, as well. - Carl Hagelin continues to impress. When you think of important players to the team's success, you have to start adding Hagelin to the conversation. If he's using his legs to create havoc on t...

I have 1500 total, size NB through 3. Most I bought myself over this past sumer with coupons, and a couple of boxes came from my shower. I averaged 12 cent per diaper on the ones I bought myself. I only know because I decided to start a spreadsheet - part to keep track of how many dipes I have of each size (don't want to buy too many) and part to track my savings. It's been fun and it challenges me to hold out for the best deal. Afterall, I don't want to see my 12 cent average go up!
OMG You girls! 'i am so jelous... you all have so many. wow
i have no diapers yet- i actually forgot i need diapers :( wow! and i have 2 kids haha! how did i forgot? man!!
i am going on amazon to buy some right now :)

Got another 18 colourful ones since, just no photo of the new bigger stash yet :P
Left - OSFMs (one size fits most)
Center - SIO (snap in one) mediums + 18 of these that arrived later
Right - SIO smalls
I'm so proud that I got almost all the SIOs second hand via eBay and FB groups! Most likely I'll re-sell the good ones again and save more money and on the environment.

Cant make someone or something responsible for you happiness" (Kids and family exempt) It has to come from within you!"..It is what it is
I'd say I'm a honest, respectful, ambitious, open minded, funny- a (Nerd @ times) I love the out doors, love working out,(IM NOT A MEAT HEAD) lol Cocky yet Humbled....My Perception of an Ideal Relationship: Complete and utter comfort. I can be myself around you without feeling judged. You can sit in your room working while I do other things and I'm entirely content. I only have eyes for you, you only have eyes for me and we communicate this verbally, physically and often. Down and dirty sex and warm and comforting cuddling are ever present (Im A Leo). Fights are rare and when we do get into it, we don't stop talking until we've reached some sort of peace. Unparalleled companionship, unprecedented generosity and unconditional love grant us the foundation for a lasting long-term relationship.What I've Learned from Past Relationships: Communication is KEY!!! Flossing is important. Laughing is essential. Perfection is IMPOSSIBLE Better to be single than to be in a bad relationship. If it's worth it, I'll work for it; if it's not, I won't. Don't say anything you'll regret because you can't take it back. Finally, you must expose yourself emotionally -- it's the only way to reap love's greatest rewards.If youd like to know more Say hi. I didnt reveal a lot about my Self for you to read on purpose. Rather we chat, talk, engage in conversation to get to know each other instead of us reading through a long page in this section about each other. Also, just because someone looks like a good match on paper, doesnt necessarily translate in reality

Pirates 7, Diamondbacks 1
PHOENIX (AP)—Ty Wigginton got a big hit—and delivered one as well—for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Wigginton homered for the first time as a member of the Pirates and scored another run on a massive collision at the plate to lead Pittsburgh to its fourth straight win, 7-1 over the reeling Arizona Diamondbacks.
Wigginton extended the lead to 3-0 in the fourth, drawing a walk from reliever Lance Cormier and then bowling over catcher Koyie Hill on Jose Castillo's double into the right-field corner.
Wigginton lowered his shoulder and drove his head into Hill's jaw, knocking off both the catcher's helmet and mitt. But he missed the plate as the ball sailed untouched to the backstop. Wigginton quickly stood, took two quick steps to touch home and walked to the dugout with blood streaming down the back of his head behind his right ear.
"It's part of the game," said Wigginton, who was 2-for-4 after entering the game 6-for-45 since coming to Pittsburgh from the New York Mets before the trading deadline.
"He was blocking the plate and I felt it was the best way to score and get us another run," he said. "It's too bad he had to go and get injured."
Hill finished the inning, tagging Castillo to end a 5-2-5-2 rundown for the first out, but left before the top of the fifth—and X-rays revealed a broken right ankle. He'll be re-evaluated Wednesday.
"It was bang-bang," Hill said. "The ball was right there and he came in hard and did his job. I was all over the plate. He really had no other place to go. I was trying to help my team out. He was trying to help his team out. And you got two guys playing hard, and they ran into each other."
Wigginton remained in the game and drove in a run during the Pirates' three-run fifth that gave Pittsburgh a 6-0 lead. Tike Redman also had an RBI single in the inning, extending his career-best hitting streak to 11 games.
The Pirates took a 2-0 lead in the second when Craig Wilson led off with a homer into the balcony overhanging the center-field wall, and Wigginton hit his first with the Pirates three batters later.
Ryan Vogelsong (4-9) scattered six hits over seven innings for the Pirates, who won for the eighth time in 10 games. He allowed one run and struck out four in his longest outing since May 8 against Los Angeles, a span of 11 starts and 16 appearances.
"I was just trying to get ahead and make them put the ball in play," Vogelsong said. "The defense played well behind me. They hit the ball hard but they were able to suck them up."
Luis Terrero hit his first major league homer for the Diamondbacks, who lost their sixth straight at home and have dropped 16 of 17 overall. Arizona is 7-35 under interim manager Al Pedrique.
Stephen Randolph (2-3) pitched three innings in his first major league start for Arizona after 89 straight relief appearances. He allowed two runs on four hits, struck out three and walked three.
"It was fair at best," Randolph said, grading his start. "I got deep in some counts, left some balls over the plate and put our team in a hole early."
Terrero's homer in the fifth off Vogelsong made it 6-1.
Rob Mackowiak hit a pinch-hit RBI triple in the eighth for the Pirates.
After the game, Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon announced Kip Wells' scheduled start Wednesday would be delayed for precautionary reasons. Wells experienced some discomfort after throwing on the side earlier in the week, and will throw another sideline session Wednesday. Highly touted prospect John Van Benschoten will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville before the game and will start against the Diamondbacks. … The Pirates are 31-19 since losing 21 of 25 from May 30 to June 25. … Pedrique let Randolph bat leading off the third, then pulled him after the inning. Pedrique said before the game Randolph would be on a 65-pitch limit and the left-hander needed 64 pitches—33 strikes—to get through his three innings. … Randolph became the club-record 11th different starter for Arizona this season.
