Add custom CSS to sprites generated with Compass?

Your solution is good enough, I would do that the same way. Your CSS will be gzipped, so the difference in size would by like 10 bytes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
