The Friends of Jesus Excerpt
Once Mary Magdalene was known for her sin. After meeting Jesus, who healed her and invited her to follow Him, she was recognized for her deep devotion to Him. In the Holman Christian Standard Bible, the word devote describes God's own affection (see Deut. 7:7; 10:15), encouragement to follow God with one's whole heart (see 1 Kings 8:61; Matt. 6:24), those who committed themselves to good (see … [Read more...]
How Do We Pray God's Word?
How do we learn to pray God's Word? Simply put, praying God's Word means speaking His language. It means talking to Him using His words. Don't waste time looking for a "formula" or "right" way to pray God's Word back to Him. This process comes from what is in your heart and on your mind. To get you started on this road, I will share my approach. Whenever you read your Bible, watch for passages … [Read more...]

If a DOM Element is removed, are its listeners removed from memory too?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Modern browsers
Plain JavaScript
If a DOM element which is removed is reference-free (no references pointing to it) then yes - the element itself is picked up by the garbage collector as well as any event handlers/listeners associated with it.
However; if there are references that still point to said element, the element and its event listeners are retained in memory.
It would be fair to assume that the relevant methods in jQuery (such as
However, this isn't true; the jQuery library actually has an internal method (which is undocumented and in theory could be changed at any time) called
Older browsers
Older browsers - specifically older versions of IE - are known to have memory leak issues due to event listeners keeping hold of references to the elements they were attached to.
If you want a more in-depth explanation of the causes, patterns and solutions used to fix legacy IE version memory leaks, I fully recommend you read this MSDN article on Understanding and Solving Internet Explorer Leak Patterns.
A few more articles relevant to this:
Manually removing the listeners yourself would probably be a good habit to get into in this case (only if the memory is that vital to your application and you are actually targeting such browsers).
regarding jQuery:
Reference: http://api.jquery.com/remove/
jQuery v1.8.2
apparently jQuery uses
According to this : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Node.removeChild ,
ie event listeners might get removed, but
Note that I have to press "force GC" icon twice due to a bug in Chrome DevTools. My previous gif was misleading because of that.
Don't hesitate to watch heap to see memory leaks in event handlers keeping a reference to the element with a closure and the element keeping a reference to the event handler.
Garbage collector do not like circular references.
Usual memory leak case: admit an object has a ref to an element. That element has a ref to the handler. And the handler has a ref to the object. The object has refs to a lot of other objects. This object was part of a collection you think you have thrown away by unreferencing it from your collection. => the whole object and all it refers will remain in memory till page exit. => you have to think about a complete killing method for your object class or trust a mvc framework for example.
Moreover, don't hesitate to use the Retaining tree part of Chrome dev tools.
Yes, the garbage collector will remove them as well. Might not always be the case with legacy browsers though.
Just extending other answers...
Delegated events handlers will not be removed upon element removal.

Vegas puppy shop arson suspect gets $310,000 bail
This image provided by the Clark County Detention Center shows Kirk Bills, who has been accused of trying to burn a pet shop where 27 puppies were rescued last month. Bills has been returned in custody to Las Vegas to face arson and other charges, authorities said Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014. (AP Photo/Clark County Detention Center)
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A judge said Friday [auth] she was troubled by a jailhouse recording of a phone call between a fledgling professional boxer arrested in Indiana and a Las Vegas pet shop owner who are together accused of torching a store where firefighters rescued 27 puppies.
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Janiece Marshall set bail at $310,000 for Kirk Bills, after a prosecutor identified Bills as the man seen on security video setting the Jan. 27 fire, and said the phone call sounded like Bills asking co-defendant Gloria Eun Hye Lee if she implicated him.
"Why are they looking for me, girl?" Bills asked Lee, according to a transcript the judge read aloud in court. "They chased me."
In court, Bills stood silently in shackles while prosecutor Shanon Clowers said she believed Bills was asking Lee in the phone call whether she "snitched" on him.
Clowers added that Bills crashed Lee's vehicle on the way to Crown Point, Ind., where he was arrested on Feb. 7 by a fugitive task force including FBI agents from Chicago.
Defense attorney Roger Bailey said he thought the call reflected Bills' bewilderment at being sought by authorities and said Bills had planned his trip to the Chicago area before losing his professional boxing debut Jan. 24 in Indio, Calif.
Bailey also disputed Clowers' claim that Bills was clearly identified on store security video as the man pouring liquid from gasoline cans around puppy cages and then setting the liquid aflame while Lee collects files inside her Prince and Princes pet store.
"All you can see is a sweatshirt and a hoodie," Bailey said.
The video hasn't been made public, but may be shown during Bills' preliminary hearing March 10 on 31 felony and misdemeanor charges including arson, conspiracy, burglary and attempted animal cruelty.
Bailey spoke outside court with Bills' wife, whom he said gave birth to a baby daughter on Tuesday, and said it wasn't clear if Bills could post bail.
Lee also is being held on $310,000 bail. She pleaded not guilty in state court on Monday to the same 31 charges, and a judge scheduled her trial for July 7.
Prosecutors have said that if Bills is ordered to stand trial in state court, the two cases could be merged.
Separately, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson took steps Friday to free up the puppies for adoption.
He made public a letter sent Thursday, giving the Prince and Princess pet store owners until Sunday to invoke an ownership claim over the dogs.
The letter also says that if they want the puppies, store owners Lee and Donald Thompson are on the hook for boarding fees and medical costs that could total more than $10,000.
Lawyers for Lee and the store didn't immediately respond to messages about the letter.
Wolfson credited the Lied Animal Shelter and non-profit Animal Foundation in Las Vegas with taking care of the puppies since the fire.
"While I know the puppies are safe and well cared for at the shelter," the district attorney said, "I think we can all agree that the shelter is not an ideal long-term home for them."
Animal rights advocate Gina Griesen said she knew several people willing to adopt the animals.

Salesmen don't strip search you in the back of their van with a cam-corder running either.
There are many differences between cops and salesmen.
There are fewer differences between this ad, and a weak ad however.
"I don't know Butchie instead"
Doin' it for the points
They give cash bonuses for salesman of the week. But not medals of honor. I prefer money.
It only gets worse.
I have to say the day they give a sales man a gun...
David Byrne
Nice art direction. Probably not award winning, but good book work.
i dont like an ad that make others way to make money for living look bad.
especially from cops.

p.s: at least salesmen have their right to mark up the price.

Essay - Alzheimer's Disease Introduction Alzheimer's Disease Has Developed into a Major...
Alzheimer's Disease
***** disease has developed into a major health concern for the elderly population throughout the world. This degenerative brain disorder was first described by Alois Alzheimer in 1907. Today Alzheimer's is one of ***** most prevalent forms of ***** d*****orders contributing to as much as 50 to 70 % of all reported c*****es of dementia. Over the years the study of early onset Alzheimer's disease (pre-senile AD) has kind of overshadowed the study of late ***** Alzheimer in elderly group. However the ***** statistics indicate an increasing susceptibility of the older *****. Approximately 5% of the population above 65 years of age and around 20% ***** the people above 85 years of age are affected by *****'s disease. Hence what ***** previously ignored as an inevitable old ***** symptom (senile dementia) is now being properly recognized as an illness. ***** new perspective of AD has resulted in a drastic*****y altered understand*****g and ***** approach towards diagnosis and treatment. Let us study the disease in a little detail by analyzing the *****s and the etiology along with the diagnostic approaches and ***** currently available treatment methods. In the process we will also briefly discuss some o*****r common ***** ***** dementia and how AD can be differentiated from them.
The Alzheimer's *****
***** is a progressive, degenerative, and irreversible brain ***** that stifles the n*****mal cognitive and functional abilities of the ***** person. There is a gradual deterioration of the mental faculties, which may ultimately lead to total dysfunction of the brain resulting in ***** death of the patient. In general the progress ***** the d*****ease is very slow and steady and this presents considerable difficulty in early identification of ***** disease. ***** in some patients there is a sudden and rapid decline in brain function leading to death in a few *****. Since the human ***** is very adaptive the onset of Alzheimer's disease may not be obvious ***** it is only when as much as 80% of the brain cells are damaged symptoms ***** conspicuous. [Bennett, 63]
The main cause for the ***** is the destruction ***** the brain cells particularly in the cortex region. In the first stage of ***** dise*****e the ***** in the cerebral cortex that is associated with memory is affected. Then as the dise*****e progresses other regions in the cerebral cortex ***** undergo progressive deterioration ***** to total impairment of functional and cognitive *****. Though as ***** any other ********** of dementia syndrome ***** loss is one of the chief and ********** problems the effect ***** ***** d*****ease extends to much more than memory loss and in ***** of the cases ***** is a tot*****l crippling of ***** brain functions thereby affecting the individuals ability to re***** and respond appropriately to the outside world.
Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease
As discussed above Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a wide variety of ***** from memory loss or amnesia, language difficulties, Dyspraxia or ***** in perform*****g complex tasks to depression and other *****s ***** psychotic

Celebrity Spoonerisms
A "spoonerism"is a type of wordplay that flip-flops the initial sounds of two words. In this game, host Ophira Eisenberg makes spoonerisms out of famous names, leading to some unusual turns of phrase. For example, if we said, "An actor best known for playing Luke Skywalker becomes a warning that a warm-blooded animal is approaching," the answer would be, Mark Hamill turns into "Hark, Mammal!" Spoon on!

Reviews for Landon Pediatric Foundation
7 people found this review helpful
Dr. Chris Landon and his staff assist many families with children who need medical care. All receive excellent care. Many of the children are extremely ill and receive specialist care from doctors who visit from tertiary medical centers in Los Angeles. The doctors travel so the sick children and their families do not. The center also serves insured families. The care is excellent so many families are drawn to Landon Pediatric Center, not because of need, but because of the care.

During the first two decades of the nineteenth century, the picture book came into its own in England, a period of extraordinary fertility in children's book publishing dubbed "the dawn of levity" by F. J. Harvey Darton, even though it coincided with the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). The protracted war with the French cast its shadow over English children's books nevertheless, although detecting its presence can be as subtle an exercise as in Jane Austen's novels.
Of course there were overtly militaristic children's books such as the school book New Geographical Grammar (1811), in which its author John Evans described preparations supposedly being made in French port towns for the invasion of England. Stirring accounts of martial valor designed to instill the seeds of patriotism and to inspire the desire for military service could be found in The Naval Heroes of Great Britain: or, Accounts of the Lives and Actions of the Distinguished Admirals and Commanders who have Contributed to Confer on Great Britain the Empire of the Ocean (1806).
But there are other books published then which bear out the truth of the Duke of Wellington's sorrowful observation that the only thing as sad as a battle lost is a battle won. I can't remember when I began to notice pictures of disabled veterans in Regency children's books, but I only started to jot down all the references. They drive home the realization that the sight of an old soldier with a cork or wooden leg must have been in England must have been a common one after Waterloo. Only an high-born officer like Henry Paget, second earl of Uxbridge could afford a sophisticated prosthetic device to replace a limb shattered on the battlefield.
Some disabled veterans scraped together a living performing on the streets of London. Billy Waters, an American-born freed slave, who fought in the British forces during the American War of Independence, became something of a local celebrity. This is one of three pictures of Billy Waters I have found in Cotsen–the other two are in The Cries of London Drawn from Life (1823) and a book of London cries lacking a title page published ca.1821 by J. Bysh.Pictures of amputees may be more common in children's books issued by the Quaker firm of the Dartons and they may be an indication of pacifist tendencies. This one from My Real Friend is unusual for showing quite graphically the daily accidental humiliations to which an amputee had to endure. The passage the picture accompanies follows.
Perhaps the most unusual sighting of a disabled veteran I've found so far is the frontispiece by R. Stennett for Parlour Amusements; or A New Book of Games and Forfeits (ca. 1820). It shows a group of children playing the game of "Old Soldier" which is described inside. One person is supposed to impersonate the impoverished veteran and notice how the boy has improvised a wooden leg from a pair of bellows. The verse rules are followed with a model dialog between imaginary players to show how the process of questions and answers ought to play out.
The game of "Old Soldier," which also goes by the name of "Here Comes an Old Soldier from Botany Bay," was played for almost a century in the English-speaking world. Halliwell-Phillipps included it in Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales (1849) under the title "The Poor Soldier." The second edition of Cassell's Book of In-door Amusements, Card Games, and Fireside Fun described it as old in 1882, but didn't speculate as to its probable age. The 1901 volume of the Pennsylvania School Journal recommended "The Game of the Poor, Old Soldier" as an amusing one for small children in 1901, as did Grace Lee Davidson's 1916 Games and Parties for Children.
This appearance in Parlour Amusements seems to be the earliest recorded and perhaps it is a relic of the Napoleonic Wars. The larger question is to consider what exactly such a game tells us about attitudes towards the disabled veteran during the nineteenth century. Here he seems to be treated simply as a character type that offers a good opportunity for dress up, rather than as a brave soul whose broken body deserves respect as a symbol of patriotic service to his country. Whatever its meaning, the frontispiece of Parlour Amusements, along with the other illustrations shown here, offers a surprising glimpse into the impact of war on civilians.

|They've looked terrific in preseason, but then they should because they've made the fewest changes of any team in the league. Injuries have waylaid them the last two years, but maybe that's because this is a fragile team.

|Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, Carmelo Anthony and Nene give the Nuggets one of the NBA's most talented, athletic frontlines. Nuggets need Camby to play at least 75 games. It will be interesting to see how Karl mixes backcourt of Andre Miller, Earl Boykins and Earl Watson.

|The Nuggets still haven't addressed a big hole at the two, but if they keep playing the way they did last spring under George Karl, they should be the clear favorites in the Northwest this season.

Marcus Camby
Player Efficiency Rating
vs. NBA Avg.: +3.08
Camby had one of his healthiest seasons ever and has had the best two-year run in his career by missing "only" 26 games. The Nuggets will have their fingers crossed for three in a row, but the odds don't seem to be in their favor. Even last season, Camby missed games with a stunning variety of ailments: a strained left hamstring, a bruised tailbone, bronchitis, a back strain, a sprained left ankle, a strained right hamstring, a sprained right ankle and a right hip contusion. OK, I made up two of those, but the rest all are true.The Nuggets pumped Camby as a Defensive Player of the year candidate, but that was a stretch for two reasons. First, of course, are the aforementioned absences. Second, he didn't play that hard under coach Jeff Bzdelik. He often missed rotations and block-outs and didn't pick up his intensity until Karl took over. From that point on, he was brilliant, but it was only half a season. Camby averaged nearly four blocks a game after the All-Star break and dominated on the boards with 14.3 rebounds per 40 minutes in that same time period. Offensively, Camby can finish around the rim but also loves to shoot jumpers from the foul line. He has increasingly relied on that in recent seasons and has forayed into the paint less frequently, resulting in a low rate of free throws and a correspondingly poor shooting percentage. However, he's one of the best passing big men in basketball and is great at entering the ball on high-low plays. He also has a low Turnover Ratio, so his overall offensive game is fairly effective despite the low TS percentage. Camby is 31 and had never played in more than 63 games in a season before the past two campaigns. One can take that as a sign that he's healthier than ever, or as a sign that he's overdue, but one thing's for certain: His health will be the biggest determinant to Denver's success in 2005-06.
-- Nuggets player profiles from John Hollinger's "Pro Basketball Forecast: 2005-06," available at Amazon.com and Potomac Books.
We asked SportsNation which two Karl should play together. We've received more than 6,500 votes so far, and here's what fans are saying:
Which guard tandem is best?
62.4% Earl Boykins and Andre Miller
29.7% Andre Miller and Earl Watson
7.9% Earl Boykins and Earl Watson
Legs on Nuggets: I'm officially buying into the George Karl hype. Remember, the man took over in mid season and the Nuggets had the best record in the league after the All-Star break. A tough first-round loss to the Spurs notwithstanding, Denver should rise to the top of the division with Karl around for an entire season.
The biggest beneficiary of Karl's tutelage will be Carmelo Anthony. After the coaching change, Melo went from being a one dimensional, inconsistent scorer to a much more efficient offensive player and a better team defender.
Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby, Andre Miller, and the return of 3-point threat Voshon Lenard round out a very solid starting five.
Earl Watson (from Memphis) and Earl Boykins will give the Nuggets some serious speed and scoring off the bench. Look for the Nuggets to enjoy a Rocky Mountain high and a ride into the second round.
Tim Legler, ESPN Insider
George Karl
Experience: 17 years
Reg. season record: 736-505
Playoff record: 60-71
Coach's profile
With a 32-8 record after taking over in midseason, George Karl proved to be the best replacement coach in NBA history.
The Nuggets helped themselves with the addition of Earl Watson and a healthy Voshon Lenard.
If Karl can convince his guys to accept sharing minutes they have a shot at winning 60 games.
Jim O'Brien, ESPN Insider
The Nuggets struck out in their efforts to sign a free-agent shooting guard over the summer, so they made an interesting decision: They used their full midlevel exception on point guard Earl Watson, even though point guard was already their strongest position.
The former Grizzly certainly is a valuable player -- he's perhaps the best defensive point guard in the game -- and his ability to push the ball upcourt will help a running team like the Nuggets. However, Denver already has Andre Miller and Earl Boykins, both of whom are at least as good as Watson.
The Nuggets' approach was to procure an asset (Watson was the best free agent remaining) so that if an opportunity for a trade comes up, they'll be able to pull the trigger.
In the meantime, the team thinks it can find minutes for all three by pairing two of them in a small backcourt lineup. This is especially true at home, where the Nuggets can push the pace even further and take advantage of Denver's high altitude.
Since Karl frequently used the alignment of Miller and Boykins to end games last year and had success with it, adding Watson is a logical extension of the strategy.
Sleeper: Voshon Lenard would like to forget about last season. This sharpshooter has been a consistent 3-point threat who scores in double digits for eight years. Fantasy owners might forget about him, since he only played in three games, but he's a good bet for 150 3s and 14 points per game.
Bust: Earl Boykins was a fine fantasy pickup last season, when he averaged 12.4 points. But the Nuggets don't figure to need Boykins as much. With Lenard back, Andre Miller will play less two-guard. Also, Earl Watson was brought in and could steal a lot of Boykins' minutes. Watch Denver's rotation before drafting Boykins at all.

Actress Jennifer Aniston is engaged to screenwriter and actor Justin Theroux, her rep confirmed, Sunday, August 12.
shawn: It's clear Hillary's deep connections and corruptions got her off the hook with Benghazi and her crimes against the country. It's also clear the Clintons' influence and intimidation tactics cleared them of Whitewater. Seems the Clintons have an answer for every crime they commit and never have to face the music, no matter how many Americans die over their actions. We'll almost certainly see massive voter fraud in November which Hillary will also skirt responsibility for. Meanwhile her supporters ignore her corruption and incompetence and just blindly vote Democrat. She'll take us to $30 trillion in debt in 4 years and keep our borders wide open while continuing to disarm law abiding citizens who simply want to defend themselves against the terror threats THEY are bringing in by the 1000's. I'm shocked the Democratic party has grown this ignorant. ?My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know? the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn?t do that and I?m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that?s a major accomplishment.? This woman has done NOTHING respectable as SOS and has filled her career with deceit and scandals. How can a person who can't even responsibly manage an email account run the country? You people are #$%$ nuts!

Last year for Halloween I was Bip the Clown, a famous creation of the then recently passed master of mime, Marcel Marceau. I thought it would be good to go an entire day without talking, yet it seemed to arouse violent annoyance in as many people as liked it.
Mime has its roots in ancient Greece but most conventions of modern mime were developed by the Bohemian mime, Jean-Gaspard Deburau, who adapted aspects of the commedia dell'arte for nineteenth century French actors. His most famous character was Pierrot, the moonstruck, dumb romantic in white face and poofy threads. He was portrayed in Marcel Carné's Les Enfants du Paradis.
In the 1920s, Étienne Decroux created a highly original take on mime, focusing on statuary poses, a technique known as corporeal mime.


text: Yeah yeah, this is slightly later than I promised it. Anyway, congrats to the village. I'll just kind of go through a bit about the set up, then go player by player in talking about what they did or what happened to them. Link to the forum here: http://shaym.in/mafia/anocymous/index.php Set Up: So we saw what happens when the mafia gets really unlucky and hits the hider on night 1. It allows for the hider to come out and state his target without risking losing a mislynch. The hider is a bit of a risky role, but it was the only role to be able to conclusively clear anyone. I actually quite like the role. It was just unfortunate that the mafia felt as though the player with said role was the best night 1 kill target. The detective/psychologist is interesting for a few reasons. First, the detective/psychologist can lie about his role name without any repercussions, because he is the only player in the game that knows with any certainty whether a detective or a psychologist exists. Second, it gives the village another decent, but generally not overpowering information role. Third, it forces the mafia to decide whether to vary up who is performing the kills or to stack it on one user. The detective is clearly the better role of the two, but the psychologist is useful for situations like what happened with Hulk Hogan. The tracker works somewhat in conjunction with the detective/psych as I mentioned before. It's a pretty simple to understand information role, and is the only information role capable of confirming other power roles. The numbers are pretty fair; the mafia can work to earn 1 less mis-lynch through good play and having the hider target them, or by thinking well about who would be the most town-like member that the hider would risk hiding behind. Meanwhile, the hider can do just the opposite for the village and appear town enough to be killed and avoid death. It would take 4 mis-lynches normally for the mafia to win, which is doable, and can get 3 with some luck with a hider death, which is much more likely than a hider avoiding death. Getting mislynches on days 1 and 2 usually isn't too hard, and getting one more is fairly easy as well. Getting the 4th takes a bit more work, but is certainly fair. In terms of power roles, I think that my removing the potential for a vigilante somewhat hurt the mafia's ability to disprove detective/psych evidence and to counter-claim vigilante, but I think that it was worth doing this to remove that element of risk to relying so heavily on strong vigilante play. The power roles weren't extravagantly strong outside of possibly the hider, as the other two roles were only successful in one guilty, and that happened from a lack of counter-claiming. The tracker is not too hard to counter-claim, but in this game, the mafia chose not to do so. I think that counter-claiming the tracker would have potentially been very strong play and could force the village to lose one of their better power roles as the game goes on. The tracker checks counter-claiming the other two roles, and counter-claiming hider is essentially suicide and makes the mafia lose much more potential of having a double kill night. I think that having too many more PRs would have been detrimental and like the amount that were present. In terms of how the set up played out, I already mentioned the unfortunate hider kill setting up all 3 PRs being alive with a confirmed hider target clear. The day 1 mislynch wasn't too surprising. The day 2 lynch was salvageable for the mafia, coming down to deadline antics. The tracker + psych on Hulk Hogan, as well as all of the PR clears could have been avoided by a counter-claim on the tracker. However, the ideal person to do this would have been Hulk Hogan (lurking to a degree makes sense with a PR, wasnt particularly scummy d1 and wasn't on the village mislynch, Borat under suspicion, Roosevelt not playing like a PR and wants to live as long as possible). This didn't end up happening though, and led to one guilty through the combination of the tracker and psych. From there, the PRs mostly just functioned as clears. Player-by-Player: More Cowbell - Albert Einstein, Villager, Lynched Day 1 MC did seem pretty scummy for most of day 1. He was trying to contribute though and I think it's just sort of his style that seems a bit scummy at times (I thought he was the last mafia for a good period of time in the last mafia game). His last couple of posts were pretty obv-town though. His inexperience and slight scumminess was exploited by Roosevelt and led to his pushing of the lynch. Then, 4 villagers jumped off of the Borat lynch when he was at L-1 or 2 very quickly to finish him. I didn't get the chance to talk to him too much during the game to see his thoughts since he didn't come on IRC too much, but he definitely was trying to contribute. Tunnel visioned a bit on Ron Burgundy/UncleSam because he was the one attacking him, but eventually did see Borat as scummy, so he couldn't have been too bad with his reads. shinyskarmory - Borat, Mafia Grunt, Lynched Day 2 Didn't play too great for the most part, but played okay enough to squeak out of one lynch and almost out of two. I felt as though he probably should have been lynched day 1, but from talking with a good number of players, they felt as though "Borat is too obvious." Didn't implicate any of his teammates, which certainly helped quite a bit. His interactions with some other players like Yosemite Sam seemed to make some people think that there was a scumteam there, but I didn't really see the buddying and doubt shinyskarmory did it intentionally, if at all. shinyskarmory's day 2 started off pretty well, in my opinion. However, his play deteriorated throughout the day, leading to the horrible attempt to stealth lynch to save himself. I think he thought too poorly of his play and felt a stealth was the only way to save himself, but I disagree; he played well enough that a Rollie Fingers lynch or a Friedrich Nietzsche lynch were both perfectly viable. He just needed to say something like "better him than me; I'm town." Instead, he failstealths with 2 minutes before deadline and dies. Helps dispel fears of Nietzsche being mafia and slightly clears Rollie Fingers through doing this, but is helped later on by Yosemite Sam's denial of this and his eventual death and town flip, keeping Rollie Fingers as a viable lynch target to the end. Empoof - Burt Reynolds, Villager, Killed Night 2 Empoof had work a lot of the time, so he couldn't dedicate huge amounts of time to playing, but he did genuinely put in an effort into reading the posts and keeping up with the thread. I think that at first he was a bit nervous about posting his thoughts since he felt as though his reads wouldn't be right, but I prodded him to the point that he realized that he needed to be saying stuff. That said, his reads were pretty good; he had Hulk Hogan and Borat read as mafia for most of his time alive. His lynch on Albert Einstein isn't too surprising, since Einstein hadn't played too great and that he probably hadn't spent as much time analyzing the recent posts of Einstein. Still, an unfortunate decision that brought with it some suspicion. His posts were sporadic, but distinctly average. He didn't really do much scumhunting, but shared his thoughts when he could. Looked a bit scummy in the process, to the point of being the unanimous choice for Dali/Spiffy's hide target. Still, definitely tried and didn't do poorly enough to be mislynched. Spiffy - Salvador Dali, Hider, Killed Night 2 Spiffy was unanimously thought to be the most clean villager coming out of Day 1 from virtually all eyes. His reads weren't perfect, but he was one of 4 villagers to still be voting for Borat at the end of Day 1, so he certainly had that read correct. Put in effort to try to prod players into activity, like with Hulk Hogan. I'm not remotely surprised the mafia tried to kill him Day 1. He actually wanted to idle his night action Night 1 though, since he didn't think he would be the target. However, after some thought and the realization that a mafia kill on him would not succeed at all (he thought it would be redirected to who he hid behind), he decided to hide behind Mario, a pretty obvious villager and safe choice. I don't think clearing Mario made any difference since I don't think Agape would have ever been mislynched after his Day 1, but Spiffy's lack of dying Night 1 was huge for the village, letting him openly force the mafia into killing Burt Reynolds instead of the tracker. His Day 2 was quite good as well, actively using his vote to pressure players, and even had his end of the day vote on Theodore Roosevelt, another mafian. Overall great play. Altair/Aura_Guardian - Hulk Hogan, Mafia Grunt, Lynched Day 3 Altair's post in the Smogon thread seemed to be the scummiest thing he did. I had 3 people come up and tell me that they wanted to lynch whomever Altair was, all because of that post. Altair wasn't the most active, but I felt as though he was the least scummy mafia member by a good margin. Tried to act town and seemed to succeed at that; most of the suspicion against him seemed to be on Day 1 and only really for his activity level. Day 2, Aura Guardian came in and did a pretty good job as well. I think Aura Guardian was a bit more scummy than Altair (some of his large Day 2 posts were a bit scummy, although no one picked up on that), but was town enough that Ron Burgundy/UncleSam felt that it was much more likely that they would get a clean out of Hulk Hogan than a guilty - and not just because of the statistical probability. When Day 3 rolled around, he knew his fate was sealed and tried to waste the village's time and get an early lynch. While he did not manage to self-hammer, he did manage to convince Agape to hammer him, ending a lot of discussion. Unfortunate that night actions managed to get him, but since he nor anyone else counter-claimed any power roles, it was to be expected at some level. UncleSam - Ron Burgundy, Tracker, Killed Night 3 I did everything randomly in this game, from the sign ups, to the aliases, to the roles, except for one thing. UncleSam wanted a power role to the point of being unwilling to play without one, so I gave him the tracker. His early Day 1 was pretty bad, honestly. I'm not surprised by that though, since UncleSam is the kind of player that wants some sort of evidence to be used against other players, whether that be night results, or the actions of someone dead. So he played badly enough that he felt as though he had to reveal that he was a power role. I think the mafia made a mistake in thinking that UncleSam could have been the hider; I think he would have outright claimed hider if he were the hider, since he wouldn't exactly be under threat of dying because of how scummy he had looked. Still, after that claim, he played pretty well, putting needed pressure on Borat and almost having him lynched. When Day 2 rolled around, he seemed to seize a lot of control of the game, really dictating the flow and the argumentation of both Day 2 and Day 3. It's hard to argue against how he did, with 2 mafians dead. Made the correct calls in his role usage. Didn't read Hogan correctly, but read him correctly enough that his target Night 1 was based on "I don't think he is mafia, but if he is mafia, he is probably the player who would do the kill." Then saw that he could definitively clear/out Hogan by targeting him again. Kept pressure on Borat Day 2 when a lot of players wanted to let off of him. For day 3, he was certain it was either Yosemite Sam or Theodore Roosevelt. It's unsurprising that those were the next two players lynched. Paperblade - Yosemite Sam, Villager, Lynched Day 4 Paperblade was ok this game. He wasn't super time invested into this game because of a few other games he was in, but he still put in time to developing reads. This may be wrong, but I don't think he ever really took the early suspicion on him seriously and felt he could play out of it. However, most people had made up their minds about suspicions by Day 3ish, so his lynching wasn't too surprising. Did put in effort at the end to try to get the vote off of him and to voice his suspicions of Rollie Fingers before dying. Was overall hurt by thinking too much about his reads on Borat and Friedrich Nietzsche and consequently not having the best voting pattern to support his cleanliness. If the players alive on Day 4 outside of Agape were more active, he may have been able to swing the lynch off of him. However, due to misreading Borat's vote as not simply a stealth but as "not me," he may have led the village to the equally wrong path of lynching Rollie Fingers. Agape - Mario, Villager, Killed Night 4 Agape was a very…interesting player. He was never afraid to hold an unpopular opinion, voicing doubt on UncleSam's claim throughout Day 1 to the point of being willing to lynch it. Was active all throughout the game except for the very beginning, but established himself very early as an obvious villager who would suspect anyone who suspected him. While this caused some problems with keeping his vote on Ron Burgundy and is not generally a good way to find mafia, the way he played made for a very clear target for Spiffy to hide behind: unlikely to be killed, very likely town. Seemed to think that Roosevelt was mafia for quite a while, although he did allow for Yosemite Sam to be lynched instead. Still, a pretty good game. Blue_Tornado – Theodore Roosevelt, Mafia Grunt, Lynched Day 5 B_T did an excellent job as mafia, and being the last mafian to die definitely speaks to that. He was very vocal through the beginning of the game and was not afraid to push his false reads. Blue Tornado really single-handedly had More Cowbell lynched on Day 1 through his play. Of course, he dirtied his hands a bit in trying to not press his teammates, but the way that he did it made it so that the game was still salvageable for him up until the end. Initially, Blue_Tornado wanted to go under the radar as some meh player and just spam Victini pictures, but once it became clear that people could tell that he was a capable player, he started contributing a bit more evidence in his posts. Outside of his obvious "being wrong on his reads," he had a few scummy posts in day 1, but his Day 2 was pretty good. However, once both his partners died, it became increasingly obvious who the last mafia was. Still, he managed to avoid the lynch one day and probably could have had a Rollie Fingers mislynch fairly easily on Day 5 with a bit more luck or activity. However, lynching one of Alex Louis Armstrong or Friedrich Nietzsche would have been difficult. Still, B_T knew to keep bringing up his early Nietzsche suspicions to keep him as a potential lynch target. However, his play and everyone's inactivity caught up to him in the end and he was lynched. Gronkasaurus Rex – Rollie Fingers, Villager, Survived I think of Gronkasaurus Rex as the village equivalent of Blue Tornado in some respects: long posts, fairly decent logic behind them, but ended up almost always being wrong. Gronkasaurus Rex was active up until the last couple of days, when no one was active. Still, did a good bit of scumhunting and tried to help out the village a ton with his reads on potential scum teams. He was another of the villagers who at the last minute switched from Borat to Albert Einstein on Day 1, which is unfortunate. Still, he definitely put in a good deal of time trying to pressure players and expressing his reads. It's just a shame he usually ended up being wrong, from the Einstein lynch to Nietzsche suspicions to the Yosemite Sam lynch. It's always nice to see new faces in Smogon mafias, and he certainly showed he knows how to play. Eagle4/idiotfrommars/citro/idiotfrommars – Dr. Fu Manchu, Psychologist, Survived Eagle4 was the first to correctly identify all 3 mafia members (with some hints), and he did so about 5 hours after being subbed out, so good on him. His play in game wasn't remarkable, but it was active and not particularly scummy. His reads were ok; he suspected Nietzsche, Yosemite Sam, and Roosevelt upon being subbed out, which make sense. He panicked a bit when he received a vote on Day 2 and immediately claimed, which I don't think he needed to panic about. He probably was going to want to claim anyway, but beyond that he was generally a reasonably townie Villager with pretty good activity and ok reads. IFM…lol. He RNG'ed his last vote (he excluded Armstrong as a possibility at least), didn't reads days 1 or 2, and made me very frustrated. He had decent reasons for being inactive, but I really wish he would have been active; he PMed me within 3 minutes of saying "all players have received roles" saying that he wanted in. Citro was only Dr. Fu Manchu for 20 minutes, but he is the reason that they got the guilty on Hulk Hogan. He wasn't too sold on wanting to play, and when IFM logged onto IRC 3 minutes after deadline trying to send an action (which would have psyched Ron Burgundy instead <_<), he let IFM take his spot back since IFM wanted it. Thebritishexcadrill/Crux/Walrein – Alex Louis Armstrong, Villager, Survived When I looked at my randomized pool, I was worried about how active TBE would be, since he only had 4 posts and I knew nothing about him. However, I never had to worry about that, because he never opened his role PM, so I subbed in Crux. Crux established early that he was a pretty smart person, but didn't really know what to do with regards to NOC. Most of his posts, while limited in number, were usually focused on some smaller issues and thoughts that he knew he could contribute to, although as time went on he did start to get a bit more into it. However, he had a bit of a family emergency Day 2, so Walrein subbed in. Walrein was really inactive, admitting that he did not read any of Day 1 and most of Day 2. Still, he tried, sort of. He was busy with hosting Diplomacy, so that cut into a good bit of his time. He ended up voting for Rollie Fingers on the last day, so he didn't have great reads. Still, read enough to realize that Quagsires was pro-town and was unlikely to vote him if it came down to it. Quagsires - Friedrich Nietzsche, Villager, Survived Quagsires didn't ever seem to be wrong in his votes, except he suspected Yosemite Sam, and for a short period of time voted for Ron Burgundy. Nietzsche played fairly well, establishing through his votes that he was pro-town. His posts weren't particularly scummy (although B_T tried to spin them that way), but they weren't exactly super townie either. He seemed to recognize all 3 mafia as being suspicious, although he didn't necessarily think they were the most suspicious. He did a little bit of scumhunting, a little bit of stating his opinion. His posts ended up being pretty helpful, and he ended up being one of the people most thought of as being clean as the game went on. He ended up being the deciding vote in the end, so good on him for choosing right between two people he viewed as a bit suspicious. Awards: Best Post: Agape's first post in Day 4 It's amazing, you need to read it. Honorary Mention: Quagsires' ;/ ;/ Best Move: citro targeting Hulk Hogan Led to a guilty on someone who was statistically less likely to be mafia and meant Ron Burgundy's night action wasn't wasted. Game could have been very different without a guilty on Hogan helping to point at Roosevelt being mafia. Worst Move: Mafia not killing Ron Burgundy It's understandable why they didn't, since he was reasonably suspicious and they didn't want to risk a hider kill, but it clearly hurt the mafia big time, and I think that UncleSam would have claimed hider if he were hider. Most Obvious Townie: Spiffy Easy choice; he was so obvious that the mafia felt that they had to get rid of him. Very helpful posts, active, and had pretty good reads. Least Obvious Scum: Altair/Aura_Guardian Went under the radar for quite a while; people noted "hey he is under the radar" but most didn't truly suspect him. I thought most of his posts were pretty pro-town. a_g stepped in and did a good job, too. Mafia MVP: Blue_Tornado Led his team, led a mislynch, almost helped avoid the Borat lynch Day 2, avoided being lynched Day 4. Village MVP: UncleSam Led the village Day 2 and 3, had Borat's number, thought of how to get the Hogan clear/guilty. Decent enough end of Day 1, even though his early Day 1 wasn't too great. His dying words of "Lynch Yosemite Sam and then Teddy" ended up being followed to a T even after his death. I had a good time hosting this game; I hope that people enjoyed playing or watching! I'll open up the other forums to viewing later tonight.

Hey folks!
I have implemented the responsive theme onto my website which can be found here:
I have an issue though with the javascript menu that comes up when you scale down the site to mobile size. It just doesn't appear at all? Does anyone have any idea why that is? I would think this is something in the header.php file, but I did a file compare of the child theme and the parent theme and there are subtle differences, but I would swap the changes out to make them in sync and still no result. other than display issues with the menu items.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

John Key, anxious to position himself on the side of the
angels, has reiterated the phrase "Nobody owns water" many
times in the past few weeks. The New Zealand public, stunned
at the apparently absurd Maori conceit that water can be
"owned", has subsequently echoed and re-echoed that phrase
through all our media outlets.
But how true is Mr Key's assertion?
In fact, there is already within our legal system a judgement
awarding a property right over the water in one of our major
hydro lakes to one of the energy companies up for partial
Lake Tekapo, nestled among tussocky hills and snowy
mountains, has beautiful turquoise water - and the High Court
ruled in 2005 that Meridian Energy has what is tantamount to
a property right over all that water. This decision was based
on the existence of Meridian Energy's permit to generate with
more water than is captured by the lake in a typical year.
Meridian, of course, is still owned by us, the taxpayers. So,
if we still own Meridian, we still own the lake at one
Under these circumstances, it doesn't seem so important that
Meridian got our lake water for nothing. We, the New Zealand
public, want electricity, and losing water in Lake Tekapo for
that benefit is a hard but maybe pragmatic trade-off.
If, however, we partially sell Meridian and Genesis (the
current "owner" of Lake Tekapo after its transfer from
Meridian in 2011), who will "own" Lake Tekapo's water?
Who will "own" the rain and snow which falls in our alps, and
the glacial meltwater that runs into the lake?
When we granted Meridian ownership of the water, gratis, did
we ever imagine what was then unquestionably for the benefit
of the public could, one day, become just another source of
revenue for private shareholders?
I don't think we did.
I am old enough to remember a different era. My parents loved
the rolling, tawny expanses of the Mackenzie Country, and
visited it often to enjoy its clear air and three beautiful
lakes, each with its own colour and character.
Seeing the hydro-electric developments boring their way
inexorably across their favourite landscape was very painful
and, latterly, their visits stopped. They recognised the
nation's need for electricity, however, and no doubt paid
more than their fair share for the dams through the
substantial taxes the comfortably off paid in those days:
public sacrifice for public good was a principle they
understood and believed in.
Nowadays, however, we dance to a different tune, and water is
being commercialised. Having given much of the control of our
hydro lakes and rivers to our energy companies, without
charge, for the "national good", how much leverage will
remain to maintain the values of our rivers and lakes after
their partial sale?
Nobody talks about "rivers" and "lakes" - they are simply
"water" or "resource" in the national discussion.
While we still own our energy companies, under the SOE Act
there remains a clause that can require them to act in the
public good.
But once partially sold under the Mixed Ownership Model Act,
we surrender that authority and the companies will operate
for the greater economic benefit of their shareholders.
Suddenly, it is obvious that ownership and use of water is a
fundamental debate we have never had as a nation. One of the
first questions we should be discussing is what exactly
"ownership" means, and then, perhaps, to what extent permits
to use become degrees of ownership.
For example, the status an activity enjoys under the RMA
provides different levels of security to the consent holder.
The knock-on effect of an activity being classed as
"controlled" rather than "discretionary" can be to almost
guarantee use for that activity in perpetuity.
Meridian, for example, is seeking just such a changed
classification to its water use permits in the Waitaki. For
all practical purposes, how different is this from a property
A further overlay is the facility under the same Act to trade
water. An irrigator, having secured a permit to use free
water, can later sell that right directly to another
irrigator, thereby deriving wealth from the transaction and
denying public opportunity to reconsider its use or its
return to river or lake. Isn't there a degree of ownership in
that situation as well?
And how do Maori ideas of ownership vary from those of
As I understand it, ownership of a water body to Maori
implies both the authority and a duty to care, kaitiakitanga,
rather than an exclusive right for personal gain, like the
European concept. It is a holistic rather than a reductionist
approach, a world view that might restore some dignity to our
rivers and lakes, helping to protect them from
commodification and overexploitation.
One thing is for sure: the water ownership genie will not go
back in the bottle. With luck, the recent recommendation of
the Waitangi Tribunal might buy us sufficient time to start
to fashion our own, uniquely Aotearoa New Zealand solution.
Let's hope that we can all take part in the debate. It would
take time and respect, patience and goodwill, but if we were
to confront that challenge and succeed, we would have an
achievement to feel proud of as a nation, real kotahitanga.
If, however, by prematurely part-privatising our energy
assets we are cheated of this opportunity, we risk again
confusing money for wealth and becoming a significantly
poorer nation, in so many ways.

I'm developing a mode for Emacs, and everytime I switch to its buffer, viper gets turned on. I've modified viper-mode to trace where viper-mode is being called, and surprisingly set-viper-state-in-major-mode is called by running the viper-post-command-hooks, set to nil. Any idea of what is going on?
EDIT: For the benefit of all beings, here is what I found out: as instructed by Trey, I started emacs with -Q and manually loaded both viper and my package. As I could reproduce the bug, the problem was on one of these packages. After line-by-line filtering, I discovered that the innoquous-looking (kill-all-local-variables) was causing the problem.

Let's face it: For a lot of us, this hasn't been an easy year. Economic times continue to be the most challenging I have seen since I was a young girl in eastern Pennsylvania during the Depression. And where do we look for inspiration in these dark days? To our legislators? Though tens of millions of Americans remain uninsured, they seem unable to do anything about it except snipe and squabble. To our financial leaders? Last spring, Bernard Madoff pled guilty to wiping out billions of dollars worth of hopes and dreams. To our idols? The golf cleats of Tiger Woods, who appeared to be the epitome of grace and precision while playing the most frustrating game ever invented, turned out to contain feet of clay. No wonder many of have a sour taste in our mouths just as we try to summon some modicum of holiday cheer.
On a more personal level, several sad events have darkened the waning days of the year for me and mine. My husband's identical twin recently died, and for him the pain is uniquely intimate, like the loss of a limb. At around the same time, my daughter-in-law lost her mother after a month-long hospital ordeal, abruptly altering the lives of her and my son; overnight she became the guardian of her own father as he slowly fades into the tragic twilight of Alzheimer's. As for me, I lost the last two of my remaining siblings over the past two months. I feel like Ishmael; only I have survived to tell our family's tale. But mostly I just feel sad.
At times like these, the hurlyburly of the holidays can seem like an imposition. But it can also provide welcome distraction: To keep my heart from aching, I'm baking.
The Cookie Factory
Making Christmas cookies has been a labor of love for me virtually all my life. When I was a little girl, my siblings and I helped my mom roll out the dough, cut out the shapes, and apply the frosting and colored sugars. Then when I became a mom myself, I had small helpers of my own for a time.
But in recent years, I have had only one assistant — my husband, whose role in the Cookie Factory used to consist solely of consuming its product. And an extra step has been added to the process: packaging the cookies carefully and mailing them to my sons in time for Christmas. Yet still the labor of love goes on — and as I perform it, memories of other helping hands, in other kitchens, seem to fill the air along with the heavenly fragrance of freshly baked holiday treats.
And as I bake, I know that in other kitchens around the world, similar traditions are being carried out. I know because my readers tell me so: A mom in Schaller, Iowa, who shares her grandmother's secret for keeping her roasted turkey moist and golden (a thin white dishtowel, buttered and draped over the breast); a man in Phoenix who says he would trade today for the holidays he remembers in a minute; a woman writing all the way from China, who says my Thanksgiving column reminded her of sharing food and family warmth at Chinese New Year.
Light in the darkness
I guess certain things are universal, even among religions. As winter comes and the days grow short, Christians like me festoon our homes and Christmas trees with cheerful lights that pierce the darkness and evoke a wondrous star that once heralded a momentous event in the humblest of settings. Jews light menorahs, reflecting a flame that miraculously burned without oil; African-Americans light kinaras to honor their roots; Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs observe Diwali, the festival of lights; Muslims celebrate the joys of family and give to the poor at Eid al-Adha. Though the details differ, the essential message remains much the same: Peace on Earth. Good will toward men.
As I write, it is the shortest, darkest day of the year. But I know that now, little by little, the days will grow longer and brighter again. The light of hope rekindles in my heart as the aroma of freshly baked cookies fills the air, along with a familiar melody, one bearing tidings of comfort and joy.
For the cookies:
- 1 lb. margarine or butter (Kitty uses half of each)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 6 tsps. vanilla flavoring (real or imitation)
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps. baking powder
For the icing:
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup lukewarm milk
- 2 tsps. vanilla flavoring (real or imitation)
- Colored sugars
Baking Directions:
For the cookie dough, thoroughly blend the 1 lb. margarine or butter and the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in vanilla. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together, then beat them into the mixture, 1 1/2 cups at a time. You'll need bread hooks (or a strong arm) for the final cup and a half of flour, because the dough will be quite thick by then.Divide the dough into thirds. Wrap each in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 or 2 hours. (In a freezer bag, the dough can also be kept in the freezer for several months, then thawed and used as if freshly made.)Using a floured rolling pin and a well-floured pastry cloth or board, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch in thickness.Cut cookies out with cookie cutters.Lay cookies out on nonstick cookie sheets. Bake at 425° F until lightly tinged with brown at the edges, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Keep an eye on them! When done, remove from cookie sheet and let cool.For the icing, mix the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, lukewarm milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla flavoring and beat until creamy, adding the milk gradually until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.Frost a few cookies at a time. Sprinkle colored sugars on top while the icing is still moist.Lay the cookies out until the icing dries. Place in sealed containers, where they will keep for several weeks.

Despite their messy split, Usher says he has no regrets about marrying his ex-wife, Tameka Foster.
The singer explains how he lives his life to the fullest in the September issue of O Magazine (on newsstands now), and describes getting married at the age of 28 as his "best mistake."
"Most people probably think I regret it because I ended up getting divorced, but it helped me learn that sometimes I think I know more than I actually do," says Usher, now 35.
The R&B star and stylist tied the knot in 2007 but broke up two years later.
Now, family is more important than ever for the former Voice coach.
He told the magazine that one of his favorite traditions with relatives is reunions, or what he calls "red-cup celebrations."
"Everybody's hanging out on the lawn, drinking out of those plastic cups, eating fried chicken and dancing to loud old-school music," Usher says. "Sometimes the simpler the celebration, the better."
