This book is not about JavaScript design patterns or implementing an object-oriented paradigm with JavaScript code. It was not written to distinguish the good features of the JavaScript language from the bad. It is not meant to be a complete reference guide. It is not targeted at people new to programming or those completely new to JavaScript. Nor is this a cookbook of JavaScript recipes. Those books have been written.
It was my intention to write a book to give the reader an accurate JavaScript worldview through an examination of native JavaScript objects and supporting nuances: complex values, primitive values, scope, inheritance, the head object, etc. I intend this book to be a short and digestible summary of the ECMA-262, Edition 3 specification, focused on the nature of objects in JavaScript.
If you are a designer or developer who has only used JavaScript under the mantle of libraries (such as jQuery, Prototype, etc), it is my hope that the material in this book will transform you from a JavaScript library user into a JavaScript developer.
David Walsh (davidwalsh.name) says:
"Many authors write in a way to reinforce that they're the smartest guy in the room. What people like them don't understand is that eager-to-learn developers have already bought the book: they trust that you're the expert, so you don't have to use advanced verbiage to look intelligent. Cody skips that ego-centric exercise, explaining JavaScript concepts in Layman's terms." (source)
Michael Woloszynowicz (www.w2lessons.com) says:
"JS Enlightenment does a good job of presenting often confusing concepts in a clear and simple manner that would make future reading more effective and increase the depth of learning. It achieves a good deal of its clarity through a copious use of well documented examples that are simple to understand but provide a great deal of insight into the language. For those already familiar with JavaScript, there's still a lot of value to be had from this book and will serve as an excellent reference if something should slip your mind." (source)
Aaron Gustafson (aaron-gustafson.com/) says:
"Most of us old-timers learned JavaScript by reading other people's code and through blind experimentation, so we missed out on a lot of the fundamentals. In this book, Cody does an amazing job walking through the ECMA spec, detailing the intricacies of the JavaScript language. It made me love JavaScript even more than I already did." (source)
Mason Stewart says:
"Been meaning to say this for a while: @codylindley's JavaScript Enlightenment book is heavy-duty, next-level awesome. Definitely a 必殺æâ€Â»Ã¦â€™Æ'!" (source)
Justin says:
"I read it and loved it! Your book is what finally got me to fully understand in inheritance, prototypes, constructor functions and object objects … whew! Thanks for writing it." (source)
Dan Wellman (danwellman.co.uk) says:
"The danger of self-teaching yourself a programming language is that there will inevitably be gaps in your knowledge that you simply aren't aware of, which can mean that powerful features of the language are beyond your manipulation. This is the kind of book that you need in order to fill those gaps." (source)
David Hayden (davidhayden.me) says:
"It walks you from the very basics and along the way clearly points out parts of the language where most beginners will be confused, where there are seemingly inconsistencies in what you would expect, pitfalls to avoid, and techniques on how JavaScript Libraries often overcome glitches in the language." (source)
mark87dotcom from twitter says:
"JavaScript Enlightenment is so helpful for me. Thanks for writing a book about programming that I don't want to burn."
Alex Young (alexyoung.org) from DailyJS.com says:
"In fact, I really couldn't find anything missing. If you've ever wondered why JSLint is complaining about something, the root cause is likely to be explained somewhere in this book" ... "one of the most interesting books on JavaScript this year" (source)
Elijah Manor (elijahmanor.com) says:
"The book is able to fit in a ton of information in less than 150 pages! I highly recommend this book." (source)
Ben Nadel (bennadel.com) says:
"In short, Lindley finds just about every nook and cranny related to Objects in JavaScript and shines a light on it." (source)
Ryan Allen says:
"I bought this book when it came out, and I gotta say, it's the most thorough and pragmatic reference of JavaScript I've ever seen! Amazing! Great work!" (source)
Jeffery Way (jeffrey-way.com) says:
"Its a breath of fresh air. I'm not aware of any other JavaScript books that focus exclusively on this subject. It's a nice way to drill the concepts into your head."
Michael P says:
An excerpt from the book (chapter 6) can be found on net.tutsplus.com as an article entitled, 'Fully Understanding the this Keyword'.
First, I must admit that I wrote this book for myself. Truth be told, I crafted this material so I could drink my own Kool-Aid and always remember what it tastes like. In other words, I wanted a reference written in my own words used to jog my memory as needed. Additionally:
This book is targeted at two types of people. The first is an advanced beginner or intermediate JavaScript developer who wishes to solidify his or her understanding of the language through an in-depth look at JavaScript objects. The second type is JavaScript library veteran who is ready to look behind the curtain. This book is not ideal for newbies to programming, JavaScript libraries, or JavaScript itself.
In this book, I focus on version 1.5 of JavaScript (equivalent to ECMA-262 Edition 3) because it is the most widely implemented version of JavaScript to date. The next version of this book will certainly be geared towards the up-and-coming ECMA-262 Edition 5.

Texas Slav & German Boutique...texasslavgerman.com
Texas Slav & German Boutique is a web-based company specializing in novelties and gifts. All products are either made in Slavic countries and/or Germany or they are promoting the previously mentioned. Examples of gifts will include: traditional gifts such as christmas ornaments, clocks, flags, pottery, barware; non-traditional gifts such as baltic amber jewelry/collectibles, edgy tshirts, jerseys, jackets, art. Products will be added and changed based upon demand. We would like the logo to represent the company's personality as more progressive and youthful in an effort to capture the younger audience. We would like the logo to be unique enough to also be used on company tshirts as well...not a boring white tshirt but something with focus on the 20-40something crowd (ie fitted, soft vintage tshirts). Please keep the colors on design to a maximum of 3 colors with 1-2 colors being preferred. The logo may possibly be used on a banner when attending heritage festivals.
People with German and Slavic (Polish, Czech, Russian) heritage with emphasis on the Texas market. Strongly wanting to capture the younger generation (20s-40's) in addition to the older generation. This younger generation has grandparents or parents native to Germany or Slavic countries. This younger group is proud of their heritage but don't often wear tshirts/caps/jewelry demonstrating their pride due to lack of style being offered in those items. Our company intends to change this. Texas Slav & German Boutique will offer these items. It will be a true one-stop shop to find items for this group of consumers as well as items for parents and grandparents who are natives of these countries and may want items of a more traditional form.
maximum of 3 colors...1-2 preferred. I would like the company name and website to be included. the company name is long thus i know it will take some creativity to accomplish this. i'm okay with the website being much smaller if neccessary.
company name: Texas Slav & German Boutique
Website: texasslavgerman.com
somehow i envision some type of folk object being included though represented with an edge. (ie. an accordion). this is not required though by any means. i welcome the full creativity of all to show me what you envision.

Actors Amanda Seyfried and James Franco made light of reports they were dating by teaming up to create homemade T-shirts daubed with the faces of their rumored lovers.
The "Dear John" star was said to have been romancing Franco earlier this year after multiple photos of them leaving one another's home surfaced online.
But the couple is just friends and Seyfried reveals they recently got together at her New York City apartment for a funky art project.
She tells InStyle magazine, "I have a T-shirt maker in my crafts room, so we did this T-shirt thing together. He was like, 'You draw a few people I've been linked to in the press, and I'll draw people you've been linked to, then we'll put them on T-shirts.' I was like, 'Sure, I have a couple (of) hours tonight, let's do it.'"
The 27-year-old, who has previously been spotted out with movie hunks Josh Hartnett and Ryan Phillippe, admits Franco had no shortage of men to draw.
She continues, "(He drew) Josh and Ryan and Dominic Cooper. And himself, because we had been linked. It's hilarious. And I just started drawing, and we made the T-shirts. I did these caricatures, and they looked awful. And his were so good. I don't know where they are now. I haven't seen them since, but he said he wants to display them."

Jerry Sandusky attempts to discredit witness from prison
(CNN) — Jerry Sandusky is a pedophile and was rightfully convicted, filmmaker John Ziegler said.
Yet he came out in Sandusky's defense in interview with CNN's Piers Morgan late Monday, disparaging witness testimony that led to that conviction.
The A.M. radio talk show host recently released controversial interviews he conducted with the former Penn State assistant coach.
Sandusky will probably be incarcerated for the rest of his life for child sex abuse convictions, but he has had his say outside the prison walls in these recorded phone conversations, which Ziegler partially posted on the Internet.
In the audio clips, Sandusky attempted to discredit an eyewitness in the case against him and downplayed what head coach Joe Paterno may have known about his activities.
It was harmless fun
Sandusky recalled in one anecdote trading swats with an undressed boy who was showering near him, but mentioned no sexual acts. He depicted it as mutual amusement for both the boy and him.
"He would get the last smack," Sandusky said, "and then I would chase him, like, and I ran him into a wall …"
Ziegler combined Sandusky's account with what he called evidence corroborating it.
In this case, Sandusky did not recall the presence at the incident of a key witness who testified against him. "I never saw Mike McQueary. I don't know if the young man saw him," Sandusky told Ziegler.
McQueary, another former Penn State assistant coach, had testified during the trial that he walked in on Sandusky raping a child in the showers at a school facility.
Sandusky scoffed at the testimony.
"I don't understand how anybody would have walked into that locker room from where he was and heard sounds associated that was sex going on," Sandusky told Ziegler with a laugh.
Ziegler then held up a paper to Morgan, allegedly a statement from the victim in Sandusky's narrative, saying that nothing happened. McQueary was lying, the filmmaker suggested, because prosecutors encouraged him to.
Still, Ziegler said he believes Sandusky committed abuse — with the horseplay behavior he described. The conviction on actual sexual acts was a "rush to judgment" in Ziegler's eyes.
During the trial eight young men gave testimony about Sandusky groping them in the car, soaping them in the shower and sexually assaulting them on a basement waterbed.
Ziegler fighting for JoePa
Ziegler, a native of Pennsylvania and a former Philadelphia sportscaster, is fighting in the name of Joe Paterno.
"Joe Paterno's dying wish was — 'just find out what the truth was,'" Ziegler insisted. "No one has done that for Joe Paterno."
Talking with Sandusky was "the only way to do that," he said. Sandusky, who refused to take the stand in his own case, spoke eagerly to him for three and a half hours, according to Ziegler.
Paterno's family has objected to the recording's release.
"The Paterno family would prefer to remain silent on this matter," the family's attorney Wick Sollers said, "but they feel it is important to make it clear that they had no role in obtaining or releasing this recording. Moreover, they believe that any attempt to use this recording as a defense of Joe Paterno is misguided and inappropriate."
The family advised the public to inform themselves via the website Paterno.com and reports from official legal and law enforcement sources.
But on their website, they have defended the iconic late head coach's reputation, saying the allegations that he knew of the danger Sandusky posed are overblown.
A man on a mission
Ziegler is passionate about his mission, and he has confidence in his opinion. Those appear to be defining qualities, whenever he tackles an issue.
He fights for the reputation of Sarah Palin and is a decided Tiger Woods fan. He goes after the Republican establishment for being too liberal or serving their own pocketbooks, and at times opts publicly against Republicans, preferring Libertarian alternatives. He regularly lambasts the media.
His list of favorite topics can be found on his website.
The sex abuse scandal has tarnished the Penn State sports program's celebrated reputation and wiped out part the impressive record racked up by the Nittany Lions under Paterno from the annals of football history.
Last July, the NCAA fined Penn State University $60 million. It also stripped 14 seasons of football victories from the late head coach. The university demolished a memorial statue depicting Paterno in a visionary pose leading a past team to victory.
Paterno died on January 22, 2012, of cancer while the wounds to his legacy were still bleeding.
Ziegler asserts that the Penn State football legend, who made a deep mark on the American sport for over six decades, did not cover up for his abusive former assistant coach.
In his documentary project titled "The Framing of Joe Paterno," he is working hard to acquit 'JoePa."
"Jerry Sandusky had his day in court. Joe Paterno never did," Ziegler said. "This is all about Joe Paterno's alleged culpability, which I don't believe the facts back up. I think he was railroaded."
During his at times heated appearance on Piers Morgan, Ziegler accused Morgan of having defamed Paterno on his show. Morgan asked him to calm down.
Ziegler partly blames the media for Paterno's fall.
He asked Sandusky what he thought his late boss knew about him.
"If he absolutely thought I was (a pedophile), I'd say no," Sandusky said. "If he had a suspicion, I don't know the answer to that."
Who the interview hurt
Penn State, which has alleged that Paterno knew what danger Sandosky posed, objected to the release of Ziegler's interview.
"Jerry Sandusky's statements today continue to open wounds for his victims, and the victims of child sexual abuse everywhere. We have tremendous respect for the men who came forward to tell their stories publicly," said Penn State spokesman David La Torre.
Paterno's family shared the sentiment.
"The release of the audio recording of Jerry Sandusky is a sad and unfortunate development," the family lawyer said in a statement. "Releasing a recording at this time, nearly a year after he was found guilty on 45 counts, is transparently self-serving and yet another insult to the victims and anyone who cares about the truth in this tragic story."
Sandusky was sentenced in October to 30 to 60 years in prison for abusing 10 boys during a 15-year period.
On February 21, he filed an appeal against his conviction and sentence with the Pennsylvania Superior Court, according to court records.

A Reflection on the Neyuheruke 300th Commemoration
by Samantha Sheffield, ECU Public History major
As a people we tend to have very short attention-spans. We have the ability to be very passionate and make great social changes: women's lib, civil rights movement, etc. But after we think that it's over when something has been achieved- we move on. Society cares for the ills of another for but a brief time. The work that historians take on is to keep the issues alive in the public eye; keep the archives secure and well-cared for and to educate, educate, educate! People cannot care unless they see a reason and purpose to it. We, as an Introduction to Public History, took on a part of this task by working on the 300th Anniversary Project for the Tuscarora War and more specifically the fall of the Tuscarora Fort Neyuheruke.
The Tuscarora Nation has its roots in the eastern part of North Carolina. But if you ask most North Carolinians to name a Carolina Indian they would say Cherokee nine times out of ten. When pressed for something they know about the Cherokee of North Carolina they say the Trail of Tears. The Tuscarora had their own version of this as they marched from North Carolina to upstate New York. They too were ousted from their lands by a foreign force. In 1713, English Colonel John Barnwell led a force of 527 to attack the Tuscarora stronghold at Fort Neyuheruke. They were successful in defeating the Tuscarora who suffered catastrophic losses and were forced to move from their ancestral homeland to join the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy over 600 miles away. They are a people who lost everything but who continued on. Even today the peoples of the Tuscarora Nation who still face many challenges are a warm people who have a remarkable outlook. While they might well be understandably bitter and cynical about all that has befallen them over hundreds of years of American history they have an extremely optimistic and positive outlook. They work together everyday to achieve their goals. They have a saying that you can break a single arrow in half, but when you have many arrows together you cannot break them in half. This is shown on the US Minted Sacagawea Dollar coin.
The Tuscarora were asked by the Federal Government if they would like to provide an image for the back of some of the new dollar coins – much like the late-state quarter collections. They complied and submitted a drawing of a bundle of arrows wrapped with a wampum as their central image symbolizing the unbreakable nature of the Tuscarora. They also included the name they call themselves, the Haudenosaunee, as well as the words the 'Great Law of Peace.' This historic agreement within the Five Nations was used as a guideline for our own Constitution.
The 300th Anniversary in March of 2013 will be an effort to show the people of Eastern North Carolina some of the rich history in the area where they live. But more importantly, with the arrival of a large Tuscarora delegation from the New York reservation to partake in the event it will be authentic. Here is a chance for people to support a culture that has struggled but has ultimately survived. During the commemoration people will be exposed to the cultural practices of the Tuscarora during many of the events. Especially the dedication of the monument. The Tuscarora Monument is a joint effort to make sure that the Tuscarora War and the Fort of Neyuheruke do not get brushed aside in the history of North Carolina.
The most important thing I have taken away from this semester's work is that education is the most important thing. There are two sides to every story. Yes, the Tuscarora were attacked by an English Colonel with a force of 527 but only 33 were other white settlers and the other 495 were other Native Americans. They justified this as protecting themselves from Tuscarora raiding parties. But this does not take away from the devastating losses the Tuscarora suffered. But a historian has a duty to give the whole story even if it is not the easiest to portray. Accuracy and fidelity to the past is the goal.

Every four years, the September energy of a new school year coincides with political intensity leading up to national elections. Influenced by this moment and last night's opening of The Living Years, we're drumming up conversation about art and global change. Educators—we're inviting you to share your insights into this topic by mining ArtsConnectEd.
Through the month of September, educators participating in Asking Art (details here) will receive one complimentary gallery pass for two adults. To participate, begin at ArtsConnectEd's Art Finder. Ponder these questions from any angle—economic, political, environmental, societal, informational, technological, etc.:
When you think of global change, what artwork comes to mind?
How are artists making art that investigates our complex world and offers ways to reflect on globalism?
We believe that exercises such as this "asking art" prompt can help us as educators teach a generation of informed global citizens. Educators, join us in this conversational exploration.

Sen. John McCain said his former rival has "done well" in his first five months in the White House -- so far.
On CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday, the former presidential candidate said President Barack Obama has achieved his legislative goals and therefore has done well -- but he hasn't been able to garner bipartisan support.
"I think he's done well," McCain said in an interview. "I think he has been -- if you want to look at a legislative scorecard, he has achieved literally every one of his legislative accomplishments. Unfortunately, it's by picking off a couple of Republicans. It's not been bipartisan."
McCain criticized the president for planning to close Guantanamo Bay without figuring out where the detainees held at the facility will be transferred.
"I don't want them in Arizona either," he said.
The Arizona Republican said Obama should get tough on Iran and speak out in support of those protesting the recent election. McCain said the president's remarks yesterday were "far stronger" than past statements.
"This is a human rights issue," McCain said. "This is an issue -- whether people can voice disagreement without being killed in the streets. America's position in the world is one of moral leadership. ... We have to be on the right side of history."

I'm back again this week to continue with how to get started in pro wrestling, and I'll take a look at some of the differences I've noticed between Canadians and Americans living in Nashville. I hope you all enjoyed the first column. Here we go.
Alright, last week I told you the first two things you need to do to get started; now we'll cover once you're started, and how to keep rolling and be successful.
You've gotten trained and hit the gym and have started working shows. If it's in your first two years in the business, you'd better be putting up and tearing down the ring. I don't care how big or talented you are, or think you are, if you want the respect of the other guys, you better put in your time doing the crappy jobs. The wrestling business is all about respect. Respect for the past, the boys and the business and, if you don't work to earn the respect of your peers, you'll never succeed.
That's not to say there aren't exceptions, but this is for the general consensus. The guys who leave early and get in late -- the ring crew -- deserve a lot more credit than they get because it sucks. Period. I did it for two and a half years, for almost 500 shows, and it gave me a healthy respect for the other stuff that is required to put on wrestling shows. Always volunteer to help even if you're not on the crew, just a little -- that stuff gets noticed.
Now you're working getting experience in front of crowds (no matter how big or small) and (probably not) making a little money. You're in the locker room and are thinking 'hmm, my match is over, now what?' Watch the other matches. You can learn from the other guys on the card, what works and what doesn't. See how the crowd reacts to each move, gesture or phrase and see what you can do to come up with your own stuff. If you need ideas, ask some of the other guys on the card or one of the veterans. Always be working towards getting better. Stars like The Rock, Austin, Flair, Hunter, etc., are always coming up with new stuff to remain fresh. The guys who don't, become stagnant and fade away. And keep your eyes open for things around you that you can use. Phrases, gimmicks, or moves can be found almost anywhere. The most common of which are movies and TV. But don't limit yourself to those. There's always something to learn from obscure places. I know a guy with a great metal music inspired gimmick that is worth money. My Team Canada partner "Showtime" Eric Young was just telling me about an idea he has for a gimmick that if TNA lets him run with it will make mad money and be over like Grover. And Jimmy Hart gave me a great idea for an addition to my own gimmick that if given a chance will be both humorous and profitable.
So now you are getting comfortable with your character and getting wrestling experience but it's not enough. What next? Contacts. This business is all about who you know, not what you know. It sucks, but it's the truth. The guys who have been places and wrestled names are the ones who have the numbers and friends you need. If you want to get booked somewhere, meet someone who's there. Earn their respect and after awhile, ask for some help. Be it passing a tape (more on tapes later) or getting a phone number or email addy. And if someone gets you in somewhere, be on your best behavior, because it's not only you that you are representing in that situation. (From experience, trust me.) 'Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir,' is the phrase you need to remember. Until you've made your name, you are always replaceable and expendable. Work hard and you'll earn your spot and be brought back regularly. It's all kind of common sense but unfortunately common sense is anything but common.
That's enough of that for this week; on to some observances and plugs. I am currently watching the Super Bowl with Cassidy Riley (www.cassidyriley.com), Showtime and Bob Ryder, and some things are readily apparent to both Show and I. Americans as a whole are so ridiculously supportive of sports that it makes me cry for Canadian sports. They get more people to high school football and basketball games than Canada gets for CFL or NHL games. I don't understand why Canadians aren't more supportive. You would think that we would all be glad to see Canadian athletes succeeding and want to see more but we lose team after team due to lack of attendance. God, I miss the Winnipeg Jets! But on the Canadian upside, healthcare REALLY kicks ass!! My bills after the September stabbing topped $21,000 US. Thank god for travel insurance! I can't even imagine what Sabu's (get well soon) bills are, since he spent 10 times longer in hospital than I did. By the way if you want to see an amazing DVD check out the Sabu benefit DVD. Really a great show for a great guy.
Well, enough for today, my new website www.johnnydevine.net should be up now but if it's not, you can still get to the old one at www.geocities.com/hotshotdevine. Feel free to email me thoughts, questions or concerns at email@example.com.
And make sure you check out TNA's next big PPV on Sunday, February 13, Against All Odds. TNA heavyweight champ Jeff Jarrett takes on Kevin Nash, AMW puts the tag straps on the line against Kid Kash and Lance Hoyt, AJ Styles takes on Christopher Daniels in a 30-minute Iron Man match for the X division title (I'm really looking forward to this one). These are just some of the matches, you can find the rest at www.tnawrestling.com. Stay Hot everyone and see you next week.
EDITOR'S NOTE: "Hotshot" Johnny Devine's column will run on Saturdays on SLAM! Wrestling. Be sure to visit each week! For more on Devine's career, see his biography in our Canadian Hall of Fame.

This is the type of badge worn by employees of Raytheon Manufacturing Company's secret plant in Greenfield, Massachusetts, during World War II (WWII). This badge was worn by Constance Olszewski of Montague, Massachusetts, who worked at the plant as a teenager during the summer of 1945. The Raytheon Company produced the bases for miniature radio tubes and electronic circuit boards that were used in "proximity fuzes" during the war. Historians agree that WWII was ultimately won on the home front. America's ability to produce massive materials required to fight a global war enabled the Allies to grind the enemy into submission.

One of the most beloved and ancient uses of incense is to purify and bless a person or place. It is a good idea to do the following ceremony every year in your home - traditionally in the first part of February, or after your spring cleaning. It is also a good way to clear a new home of unwanted "Old Stuff" and negative energy. Doing it as a family can bring everyones intentions of future happiness together, releasing any old patterns or presences.

Everton and Liverpool last met in late October, when the teams produced an eventful 2-2 draw at Goodison Park That result left Everton in fifth place, 8 places ahead of their cross-park rivals. Looking ahead, I wrote that "there's a good chance [the two teams] will be close together in the Table when the Derby is played at Liverpool in early May."
Sure enough, with the Derby set for Sunday, Everton now sits in sixth place, one spot (and 5 points) ahead of Liverpool.
Sixth place in the Premier League is usually good enough to qualify a team for European competition. But this year, due to a complicated set of circumstances, it will not be. And Everton's chances of nipping Tottenham Hotspur for fifth place are quite slim.
To have any chance at all, we must win the Derby. But that's a tall order. Everton haven't won at Liverpool for more than 13 years.
A draw would go a long way towards enabling us to finish ahead of Liverpool — a big deal for Everton. But The Shite, who have nothing to play for except avoiding the embarrassment of finishing behind us for a second straight season, will be determined to take all three points.
Sylvain Distin, our fine central defender, has added fuel to the fire by tweeting that he feels sad for Liverpool fans for having so little to cheer about his year. Distin's dreadful mistake in last year's FA Cup semi-final sparked a comeback that saw Liverpool through to the final. His aggressive tweet apparently was a response to stick he's been receiving from Liverpool fans on the internet.
Stuff like this helps make the Derby what it is.
Seventh place, or even sixth, does represent a sad season for a team with Liverpool's tradition, aspirations, and spending level. However, Liverpool has played brilliantly at times, and their goal difference is superior to that of Everton and Tottenham. Which, I suppose, makes their unsatisfactory position in the Table all the more frustrating.
Everton is nearly at full strength for the match. Liverpool will be without super-star Luis Suarez. He received a 10 game ban for biting a Chelsea defender two weeks ago. But Liverpool responded by drubbing Newcastle United 6-0 last week, at Newcastle, without Suarez.
I'll update this post with the result, or else write a full post about the match, depending on the outcome.
UPDATE: The Derby produced a 0-0 draw in what the match announcer aptly described as "underwhelming fare." The only quality on display came from Liverpool's great captain Steven Gerrard and our two center backs, Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin.
Distin nearly got his revenge against the Shite fans who have been taunting him. He headed home a set piece, but the goal was disallowed due to a dubious call against Big Vic Anichebe.
But Everton certainly did not deserve a victory today; we barely deserved the draw. At the end of a long season, we seem to have run out of ideas.
And our fine manager David Moyes may have run out of patience. The word is that he may well leave what he once described as "The People's Club" for a team that can provide him with more resources.

MACON, Ga. – For the second week in a row, Lipscomb women's basketball player Ashley Southern has received an Atlantic Sun weekly honor for her stellar play on the hardwood.
Southern was named A-Sun Newcomer of the Week on Monday for her performance Saturday against Northern Kentucky, just one week after claiming the distinction of Player of the Week.
It is Southern's third Newcomer of the Week honor of her career.
The Tuscumbia, Ala., native poured in 27 points against the Norse, just one week removed from a career-high 29-point effort.
It was Southern's eighth 20-plus point performance of the season and the second time in back-to-back games.
The redshirt sophomore also collected 10 rebounds for her A-Sun leading 19th double-double. She is now just three double-doubles shy of breaking the A-Sun's single-season record of 21.
It was Southern's 10th double-double in league play.
The 6-foot-1 forward upped her season scoring average to 16 per game while also adding 11.6 boards.
The Lady Bisons return to the court Thursday Feb. 27 for a 6:05 p.m. tip in Ft. Myers against Florida Gulf Coast.

The President addressed the guests and spoke about the efforts of terrorists to divide Australia and Indonesia through bombings such as the Bali disaster. This aim of the terrorists, in his opinion, has not become reality, and in fact has lead to closer links between Australia and Indonesia. The efforts of Australians throughout all the disasters Indonesia has had to endure, both natural and man made, is much appreciated by Indonesians, and Indonesians are inviting even closer links between the two countries in the future.
The President's words were met with a warm reception from those who attended the celebration and were reiterated during Malcolm Turnbull's response.

Cheapster Windows Phone 7 application
I am about to launch a Windows Phone 7 application and need a good background image for the application to help promote and improve the user experience. I work for myself and not a large company so I have complete control over what is chosen. I am a developer by day for a large company but do mobile development on my spare time with the hopes of starting my own business soon.
This application is targeting users on the new Windows Phone 7 platform. This application will be launch in the first 1000 apps on the platform so it will have VERY large exposure when the phones are Launched on November 11th in the US and October in Europe. The application itself targets users who like daily deal sites like woot.com, 1saleaday.com and other daily deal sites.
I would like a 1024 x 800 PNG file format. I think the design should be light in color so it does not overpower the foreground images and text and should be something related to daily deals or sale signs. Feel free to interpret what the content should be but it should be something that attracts attention as a stand alone image as well as a background. The application's name is CHEAPSTER but you do not necessarily need to include that in the image. I am attaching a few screen shots of different sections of the app for reference.

Charles Harold McIntyre September. 18, 1917 to August 6, 2012
Charles Harold McIntyre passed away at home August 6, 2012 after a brief illness. Born September 18, 1917 in Long Beach, California Charles spent most of his young life in Santa Ana and graduated from Santa Ana High School. He attended Stanford University and was on the boxing team, winning the Golden Gloves Championship before his graduation in 1939. He met his true love Robin Rule at Stanford. They met again in Santa Barbara after both had graduated and Charles had begun working for Republic Supply Company of California. They married in 1941. At the beginning of WW II Charles enlisted in the Navy and was selected to attend Harvard Graduate School, after which he served in the Pacific as supply officer on the ship General Mann. After the war Charles returned to Republic Supply Company and worked there for 41 years, eventually serving as its president and CEO, and then assisting in its transition to a part of Fluor Corporation.
Charles was an avid golfer and member of Big Canyon Country Club where he spent time with his "Sweet 16" golfing friends. He was pleased to have shot 2 "Holes in One" in his life, and golfed at many of the world's finest courses. He loved his wood-carving class at Oasis and made each family member a special memento. He was a member of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and a long time volunteer for S OS Soup Kitchen. His cheerful smile and happy attitude will be missed by all.
He leaves his wife of 72 years Robin, 2 daughters Vicki (Mrs. Tom Nordquist) of Seattle; Bonnie (Mrs. Gerald McClellan) of Newport Beach; 4 grandchildren, Heather and Ryan Nordquist, Amy McClellan FitzGibbon, Scott McClellan, and 3 great-grandchildren, Paige, James, and Patrick FitzGibbon.

The Fall of Man
A humankind abandoned in its earliest formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to its survival.
- Maria Montessori, M.D.
Holding in mind the well-known and well-worn issue of Charles Darwin's first opus, The Origin of Species, based on genetic mutation, selectivity, and survival of the fittest of those mutations, we will here consider his equally great second, ignored, and almost unknown work, The Descent of Man. In this second work, representing the later and more mature half of Darwin's life, he shows how humankind arose through the "higher agencies" of love and altruism. Selectivity and survival, being foundational, are retained, but in service of this higher and more complex life-form.
The issue of this higher evolutionary cycle found in The Descent of Man (hereafter referred to as "Darwin II") lies with nurturing, which instinct gives rise to, fosters, and allows love and altruism. This aspect of Darwin's life-work, as clearly articulated by David Loye's excellent little volume, Darwin's Lost Theory of Love, has been grievously ignored. Consider some of Darwin's essays and interests of this later period, such as "Selectivity in Relation to Sex and Expressions of the Emotions in Man and Animal," and his interest in the work of Ernest Haeckel, Lamarck, and Goethe.
And how does one account for such ignored sentiments found in Darwin II as, ". . . aiding the weak to survive . . . the instinct of sympathy, the noblest part of our nature . . ."? Where now a species of tooth and claw, and why have such negative myths been accepted while ignoring the deeper, more spiritually inclined aspects of Darwin's genius?
Nurturing proves to be not only the way by which this human species arose out of its animal ancestry; it proves to be the only way by which we evolved creatures can then be fully developed, from conception to maturity. Nurturing is the staff and stuff of human life, the one indispensable necessity, yet now having become so rare.
Our most ancient origins, as found in The Origin of Species (hereafter, "Darwin I"), can be graphically traced in the parade of skulls preceding us. We were announced quite visibly, so to speak, some brief forty to fifty thousand years ago, by the appearance of a brain case with an abnormally large area directly behind the orbit of the eyes, in the frontal-most part of our skull. (Observe the striking difference of profiles of the earlier Neanderthal and later Cro-Magnon, assumed to be the first fully human creature.) This bulging forehead houses a prefrontal cortex setting us off quite markedly from all our forebears. This particular neural grouping constitutes the high point of evolution to date, a large addition to the threefold structure found in the heads of our nearest evolutionary kin, such as the Neanderthals.
Darwin II attributes this addition to the nurturing of love and altruism.
Nurturing both gave rise to, and is the combined effect of, love and altruism -- which in this book we will come to understand as a typical "mirroring" or "strange loop" effect. Whatever its roots, nurturing sustained us for millennia and what should have been human life thereafter, with the sky the limit to what such a system could do.
Paradise Lost
Somewhere along the way, however, nurturing was compromised. It was diluted and adulterated to the point of being sidetracked, insignificant to the point that it finally lost out to survival concerns, to varying extent and in different climes and times. Today, nurturing, as needed by our species and the Earth, has all but disappeared. Pockets of nurturing remained, even into the mid-twentieth century, in a few remote and isolated human groups. The societies they depict offer us critically needed models to study and examples to emulate, if we are to recoup our loss of this major evolutionary tool, as nurturing proves to be.
Mirror to Mirror
Which Reflection Comes First?
Which Reflection Comes First?
The reason such an evolutionary setback as loss of nurturing became near-permanent wherever it occurred, is simple, ironic, and can happen rapidly. A prime example is Jane Goodall's account of a rogue ape, victim of a failure of nurturing, who upset the social structure of his whole ape-troop. In the case of our unnurtured humankind, and in spite of our vastly superior brain, we were caught up in a deluge of self-inflicted disasters of every description, multiplying at every level, that followed on the heels of our nurturing failure.
The irony is that the intensity of our crisis and its near-permanent status thereafter arises from, and can be attributed to, our very "superior brain." It takes some extraordinary brilliance and creativity to make the incredible mess we have made on this good Earth.
Precisely as Maria Montessori warns, we were so immediately absorbed in surviving the results of our own reactive patterns -- brought on by failure of nurturing -- that we had no time, energy, or interest to reflect on how or what happened, or was happening, to us. This is our condition today, where such loss and projection onto others "out there" of the causes of such loss, have been replicated age by age. Our survival concerns have greatly expanded and changed with the times, since the sharper this new intellect of ours, the deeper our crisis.
And we are getting correspondingly smarter intellectually while less intelligent. Intellect, a head-based operation incorporating ever more complex variations and applications, each needing further explications and qualifications, has become separated from intelligence -- the automatic and natural state of the heart that brings coherence.
A counterfeit is a duplication of an original, from crude resemblance to those so nearly exact as to defy all but the trained observer. But no matter how apparently perfect the counterfeit is, minor, near-insignificant differences are always present, and will eventually bring ever greater problems in application. Meanwhile, the most minor miss in the fit multiplies into a major one through continual use.
To grind on this a bit, failure to nurture expresses in such a myriad of constantly branching critical problems that all objectivity suggesting a possible cause is lost in the mounting dysfunction. This leaves us aware only of the dysfunction, which by then is considered natural, or "the human condition." I spelled this out in the chapter, "Time Bomb in the Delivery Room," in my 1977 book, Magical Child. This effort did nothing to counter the effects of that delivery room, or time bomb, years down the road, culture being the power it is.
The importance and significance of nurturing as a survival response has, on its loss, brought in its place a mass of cultural counterfeits of nurturing. These counterfeits are "head-based" intellectual conclusions bringing roughly approximate solutions for the missing intelligence; consequently, the inevitable problems inherent in counterfeits eventually appear and absorb our attention. Origins are forgotten. And, though these counterfeits continually betray us, we are constantly seduced by them because of our fundamental needs for nurturing, with which these counterfeits have some vague resonance. Virtual reality, in its myriad of current expressions such as television, computers, and electronic stimuli of endless variety, has almost completely replaced reality as the state of live, direct biological awareness and experience as developed over millennia.
Caught up in trying to make these counterfeits work, such attempts sustain and increase the counterfeit incentives and their power. And those counterfeits, products of our ever-new and ever-sharper intellect, can border on genius itself, although always causing problems at some point, spinning our webs of error and production of counterfeits ever tighter.
Even if these counterfeit structures are analyzed and brought to light, such analyses can only be interpreted through our cultural mind-set. This mind-set automatically counters any possible conflict to itself by its own cultural counterfeit of the analysis itself. This is a largely nonconscious response on our part, simply our mind-set interpreting the information -- as it must, in order to maintain itself. We, with a sigh of relief, thankfully accept our culture's counterfeit as the obvious solution for us, thus nullifying any threat of change to the culture or to our mind-set, while locking us into ever deeper disaster. In just such ways, culture is a self-sustaining field-effect with our rationale at its service.
Continually lost in making corrections in our counterfeit world, we cannot regain that benevolence-driven mind-set, which was and is our greatest survival asset and most important feature of being human. In our compulsion to right a fundamentally flawed logical worldview, we lose our connections with and ability to open to the intelligence called for -- which is heart-based, not head-based. Long repetitive usage of a flawed logical approach can change brain organization to the point we can become neurally insufficient to the task of seeing the errors in our preoccupation with our counterfeits. Losing access to intelligence, we are left with plenty of "smarts" to maintain the counterfeits, none for opening to the intelligence that could reveal them for what they are.
Our razor-sharp intellect can create and build atom bombs and destroy the very atmosphere of our Earth, but the basic intelligence needed to grasp this fundamental problem of loss of nurturing is gained only by brain-heart development itself. And brain-heart development is a major thrust of the nurturing function itself, which is, in turn, dependent on brain-heart development. In this reciprocal and recursive movement, we find a "strange loop" in which nurturing and brain-heart give rise to each other.
Nurturing should have opened ever-new evolutionary pathways -- and still could. Instead, we have locked into a survival mode, which is now considered to be not just the norm, but the "human condition" and/or "human nature." Around and through our automatic survival response we invent an incredibly complex and nonviable environment we must then attend with our whole being, both to survive in such an environment individually, and to maintain that very counterfeit environment itself, whose loss is sensed as a major threat to that worldview we share as our cultural basis, trapping ourselves at every turn.
The failure to nurture results in serious brain-mind alterations, such that any moral-ethical persuasions concerning nurturing become useless, since not really heard. We can hear only that for which we have a receptive capacity. We have had love preached to us for at least two thousand years with virtually no appreciable decrease in violence nor increase in love. Only the state of love can hear that with which it is resonant. This is a classic double bind, a Catch-22. An alternate approach -- one I have long promoted -- is a straight biological-neurological one that arises from a Darwin II position. In such an approach, the starting point lies in grasping the fourfold nature of our "evolutionary" brain.
History of Our Internal Civil War
One of the earliest neuroscientists to realize that this complex brain structure of ours had evolved out of and from earlier creatures was Paul MacLean, more than half a century ago. MacLean paved the way for our discovery that we have within our skull not one, but four distinct and essentially separate, interactive neural systems, developed over four distinct evolutionary periods. Through the appropriate integration, possible only through nurturing, these four neural systems cooperate as an integrated function in alignment with the heart. Should this fourfold integration fail, we become not only a seriously split system, but brain's intimate connection with heart is seriously compromised -- resulting in the aforementioned "human condition."
Split between these basic evolutionary drives, and largely isolated from the intelligence of the heart, we do indeed end up at war with ourselves, individually and socially, each of us with self, split between the intelligence of the heart and a fragmented brain-mind. Self, identified with mind-brain, locks into its most primary survival systems, with culture and its violence reigning supreme.

That's so cool! Can you imagine you just happen to look up/over and see Miura and his assistants looking at you?
I did: Katars with blades that also fire as projectiles.
Notice the two familiar black droplet shapes.Now the detailed close up of it being split in half. No droplets.
I just can't imagine a way for the mask to appear split apart in the panels we've seen and not have at least some remaining black marks. Am I reading too much into this or what?
Otherwise, the implication of the droplets not being there are difficult to make sense of.
Here's my crazy theory: The mask was a punishment that Rakshas' clan made him wear as an outward sign of his shame, kind of like a scarlet letter or something. Maybe what Silat said about a taboo was in reference to that, he was surprised that Rakshas was still abiding by that punishment by wearing the mask, even now. Maybe when the mask was broken, especially by the hand of the clan's current leader, it broke some kind of curse that had been placed upon it which caused the markings to disappear.
Wow that is pretty bonkers. I feel like if it were going to be something that elaborate, there would have been more attention drawn to the fact that they had disappeared.
The mask was a punishment that Rakshas' clan made him wear as an outward sign of his shame, kind of like a scarlet letter or something.
But I'm still not convinced that it wasn't merely an oversight by Miura to not include those markings (it's sure a strange thing to overlook, though. The mask design is very distinctive). Otherwise, the implication of the droplets not being there is difficult to make sense of. Perhaps it's one of the things he'll revise when it's collected in volume form.
By the way, approximately how many episodes away are we from Vol 38?
Between 3-4 more episodes before it can be bound. I expect Vol 38 by March in Japan. December in the US.
Something grabbed my attention in regards to his old mask though. Here's a shot of it from this episode prior to Silat cutting it in half. Notice the two familiar black droplet shapes. Now the detailed close up of it being split in half. No droplets.Normally I'd say the droplets were left out because there wasn't enough room for detail or the figure was far away, but they are absent from scenes where the mask is either in full clear view or at a distance where they would be somewhat visible.Am I reading too much into this or what?
First post. Hello to everyone! (And excuse my bad english)
About Daiba i think is not so unlikely that he will join Rickert Erica and the Bakiraka.
In volume 31 he states that his wish is to fund a magic empire, which is hardly what Griffith also desire, since magic users can move slightly outside causality. Now in Falconia he seems to have lost all his hopes, and probably if Griffith were to find out that a so powerful wizard lives in his capital, the old man's life would also be in danger. Peraphs having found those new allies will restore his hopes to realize his goal.
Also could it be that this "great magic empire" that he desire is a foreshadowing of the ending. Peraphs at the end the use of magic and the comunication with spirits will be spread all over the world, and humanity will have the true means to resolve all the bad things that happens, instead to rely to the Idea of Evil that they created ( if it's still canon).

This document describes the policy of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) with respect to availability and patenting of human genomic DNA sequence produced under grants funded as a result of RFA HG-95-005. In conformity with the existing spirit and philosophy of the Human Genome Project (HGP) and in response to the recommendations of advisors and the expressed wishes of the community, NHGRI seeks to make DNA sequence information available as rapidly and freely as possible.
The HGP is an international research effort, begun in 1990, which has the scientific goals of generating maps of the human genome [1] and producing the complete sequence of the human DNA by the year 2005. The project was undertaken in the U.S. following the advice of several scientific committees that emphasized its importance in creating a resource that "will facilitate research in biochemistry, physiology and medicine"[2], "have a major impact on health care and disease prevention" [2] and provide "enormous scientific and technological advances ... having both basic and commercial applications" [3]. At the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) was founded to implement the HGP.
The HGP has progressed rapidly, even beyond optimistic expectations. The initial mapping goals are nearly completed and recent improvements in DNA sequencing technology and capacity have led many scientists, including NHGRI advisors, to conclude that complete sequencing of human genomic DNA should begin. Early in 1995, NHGRI issued RFA HG-95-005 to solicit grant applications for pilot projects to test strategies that can potentially scale up to sequence the human genome. The applications received in response to the RFA were peer reviewed in the fall of 1995 and approved by the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR) in January 1996. A set of grants will be funded by April 1996.
At the inception of the HGP, the planners emphasized that, in order to reap the maximum benefit from the HGP, human DNA sequence should be freely available in the public domain. The NIH Ad Hoc Program Advisory Committee on Complex Genomes stated that "Distribution of and free access to the databases (containing the sequence data) must be fully encouraged. Thus, the data must be in the public domain, and the redistribution of the data should remain free of royalties."[3] Similarly, the National Research Council stated: "... access to all sequences and material generated by these publicly funded projects should and even must be made freely available ..."[2]. Most recently, an international group of scientists, from both the public and private sectors, who are already involved in genomic DNA sequencing, passed a unanimous resolution that "all human genomic DNA sequence information, generated by centers funded for large-scale human sequencing, should be freely available and in the public domain in order to encourage research and development and to maximize its benefit to society"[4].
There are very strong scientific arguments that human genomic DNA sequence should be freely available and in the public domain:
It is therefore NHGRI s intent that human genomic DNA sequence data, generated by the projects funded under RFA HG-95-005, should be released as rapidly as possible and placed in the public domain where it will be freely available. In order to implement this policy, NHGRI will require that grantees under RFA HG-95-005 adopt a policy of rapid release of data to public databases. This policy will be made a condition of the award.
In NHGRI s opinion, raw human genomic DNA sequence, in the absence of additional demonstrated biological information, lacks demonstrated specific utility and therefore is an inappropriate material for patent filing. NIH is concerned that patent applications on large blocks of primary human genomic DNA sequence could have a chilling effect on the development of future inventions of useful products. Companies are not likely to pursue projects where they believe it is unlikely that effective patent protection will be available. Patents on large blocks of primary sequence will make it difficult to protect the fruit of subsequent inventions resulting from real creative effort. However, according to the Bayh-Dole Act, the grantees have the right to elect to retain title to subject inventions and are free to choose to apply for patents should additional biological experiments reveal convincing evidence for utility. The grantees are reminded that the grantee institution is required to disclose each subject invention to the Federal Agency providing research funds within two months after the inventor discloses it in writing to grantee institution personnel responsible for patent matters. NHGRI will monitor grantee activity in this area to learn whether or not attempts are being made to patent large blocks of primary human genomic DNA sequence.
During this pilot period, NHGRI will be soliciting opinions and collecting evidence from the broad scientific and commercial sectors to allow an evaluation of whether the approach described above is sufficient to ensure that sequence generated by these grants is maximally useful to the research and commercial sectors. If not, NIH will consider a determination of exceptional circumstance to restrict or eliminate the right of parties, under future grants, to elect to retain title.
