75th Anniversary Historical Review
The Messenger Opened The Book
"Quickening." Swiftly, inerrantly, the messenger came, spurred on by the thought:
"I shall send a quickening to my people," said God. "Without my Life, their lives are passive. Without my vision, their eyes are sightless. Quicken them."
So the messenger of the dream came. But it was not long before he returned, bewildered, wondering.
"I find no man whim I can touch," he said. "Some are filled, but not with Thee. Some are weary, but not for Thee. Many are satisfied – but not in Thee!"
And then the Spirit, all-knowing, all-wise, spoke.
"Look for a hungry heart, a yearning, searching, crying heart. Give him the quickening and the vision. He will know how to sanctify them to the glory of his God."
The messenger of the dream opened the Book of remembrance and read:
Albert B. Simpson; born Prince Edward Island, December 15, 1843, offered on the alter of missions by a missionary saint, John Geddie; raised before an open Bible by faithful parents, Jane and James; brought to the dust at the foot of the cross during his fourteenth year; had the light of that cross break forth in all its truth within his soul several years later; given an urgency for his own education, and perseverance to obtain it; used fully the gift of intellect God granted him, by producing fine scholarship ordained to the ministry in 1861 and entrusted with his first pastorate, Knox Church, at Hamilton, Ontario; his next pastorate given at Chestnut Street Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where the first faint light of the vision began to glow in the city-wide evangelistic meetings; led again to the 13th Street Presbyterian Church in New York, in November, 1879, that his soul might know finally that fine buildings, a comfortable salary, and a conventional parish were not part of the growing, glimmering vision.
The messenger closed the Book, and nodded. He found the man, A. B. Simpson, on his knees, pleading for sinners, seeing millions for whom no man cared, the world's millions cursed and beaten by their master, sin. The messenger had found a man upon whom the agony of the Son of God could be placed, a man who would not break under the burden, but would return it to the alter of heaven, where God Almighty, not by might, but by His Spirit would consume the burden.
Albert B. Simpson was not meritorious of the vision; he was chosen to fulfill it. This has been the special privilege of all those whose steps followed his then, in this dream. They were chosen, chosen by God, and ordained of God.
Thus the Vision Grew
For such a vision the quickening had to be given. Finally, joyously, the messenger had found a hungry heart, so willing to grasp and believe and retain the precious truth of the privilege of a body united to God, that it possessed release not only from the power of sin, but release from the effects of disease and sickness.
Daily, the Spirit hovered. And daily in the streets of New York, in the services held in the evenings, from street-corners and individual homes, men and women came forth to the light of the Gospel, quickening from the old life of death and evil.
Hungry minds searched the Word, and declared what they saw and heard and interceded for those they met. Weary minds were brought to rest in His peace. Sick bodies became vibrant once more with life flowing from the Giver of Life. The Lord Jesus Christ became their only message. The Lord of Calvary, Savior; the Lord of Glory, Sanctifier; the Lord of Might, Healer; the Lord of Sabbath, coming again. Watching as hundreds heard this message and as hundreds were transformed by its power, the messenger worshipped, giving glory and honor to the Creator. The Father was being glorified in the Son. Many from among these were to share His glory. For having seen Jesus' compassion and yearning for "lost sheep" came upon them, and they too were chosen.
Thus the vision grew. Dr. Simpson recognizing, perhaps prophetically, the need for a missionary training school, had written of this in May, 1880, in an editorial in The Gospel in All Lands. Men and women were ready to go with the message of salvation, but they must be trained. Dr. Simpson believed firmly that the ministers of God must have not only spiritual depth and discernment, but practical training and wisdom.
Out of his own vision and through the willingness of the new converts to learn, Bible classes were organized and held. The location was first the stage of a theatre, the 23rd St. Theatre at Eighth Ave., in New York City. Surroundings were humble, pupils were small in number, books were meager. But the Spirit of the Lord was present, and He sanctified all to His service.
Little by little the effort grew. In 1883, formal organization gave the school the name Missionary Training College for Home and Foreign Missionaries and Evangelists. October first of that same year the school now located at 448 Eight Avenue, began its academic year with more than forty students. Their zeal was rewarded, and their dedication tested. Among the graduates of a small class in 1884, five sailed as pioneer missionaries to Africa.
Africa, Congo – the port of Cabinda, and the date was February 4, 1885. The Messrs, Condit, Gerrish, Quagle, Jensen, and one more brother, landed, and advised not to begin work at this port, pushed on into the interior. Privation, unsuspected odds, laboring in the face of the whims and vagaries of native chieftains,--this was dedication tried. John Condit's grave was the first of a long number to lie under the stark, pitiless African sun, but it did not lie alone for long. Faith does not see defeat, and others followed.
Palestine, Jerusalem – and still intrepid students went forth. Miss Lucy Dunn sailed in February of 1890, to labor alone for a year in Hebron. She was followed by Mr. and Mrs. Cruikshank and Mr. and Mrs. Murray. Other students, Miss Elizabeth Brown, and the Misses Parson, Giles, and Harris followed to bolster the work.
India, Bombay – the Gujerati and Marathi fields, and again vision and zeal saw the growth of a church which by 1900 numbered close to 1,000 souls, a number of chapels and fourteen stations.
Lives Given Ungrudgingly
China—West China and Tibet. Lives were given ungrudgingly. Minds and hearts wearied as they faced the barrier of customs and language. Spirits so undaunted that Mrs. Henry Cassidy, mother of small children, whose husband died after contracting smallpox from his labors of preaching to the Chinese in steerage, requested that she be sent to China, and taking the little ones with her, taught school until she herself acquired the fluency for witnessing. Swiftly following her, the Misses Annie Moore, and Ella Funk, and Miss Stowel sailed from San Francisco October 30, 1889.
And there was South America, the "neglected continent," to whose indifferent millions students had pledged themselves. And Japan, and the Islands of the sea – still from the halls of the missionary college came forth men and women chosen to deliver His message.
By 1890, the school had settled at 690 Eighth Ave. in a building specifically constructed for its work, and in 1892 correspondence courses were being offered. Again, the name was changed, this time to The New York Training Institute. But God had granted a vision which extended from New York City into all the world, and growth demanded expansion.
Although New York City provided unlimited opportunities for the exercise of Christian service which was so vital in the training of Institute students, there were many distractions to intensive study and a wholesome Christian environment. Further reasons for the move were stated in an early spring issue of The Christian and Missionary Alliance Weekly, March 3, 1897. Dr. Simpson wrote, "Another object is to secure commodious buildings for our large and increasing training institutes for which the room now available is entirely inadequate. To secure the accommodations needed at present in New York City for our students would cost at least a quarter of a million dollars. We can secure the same accommodations in the country for one sixth of that sum and at the same time have a more secluded and suitable place in every way for our work with ample grounds for the relaxation of the students."
Thus it was that in the fall of 1896, Dr. Simpson was led to purchase twenty-eight acres of land in South Nyack, N.Y., with a view that this would become a permanent home for a Christian college community. This beautifully situated area is to be found on South mountain, looking toward Hook Mountain to the north, and overlooking the expanse of the Hudson river to the east and south. The property was purchased in two sections: sixteen acres from the Rev. Ross Taylor of Nyack, and twelve acres from Charles H. Woerz of the brewing firm of Beadleston and Woerz. Mr. Taylor's agreement, states the New York Evening Journal, September 28, 1896, included also his newly-built handsome stone house, "one of the most substantial best constructed … and attractive places in this region," the contract being drawn up for the sum of $25,000. This stone house (known by thousands as Berachah Hall) was to be complemented by a college building, an orphanage, and a large auditorium, or tabernacle, to accommodate the famous missionary conventions, one of which was held that very August to commemorate the union of the two societies, The Christian Alliance and The International Missionary Alliance. It was planned also that cottages would be built upon the hillside to be occupied by those who belonged to and were working with the Alliance.
The Alliance leaders desired that this enterprise should to be excessively costly. Funds came in from many sources, some sacrificial, some substantial. On Monday October 19, 1896, the Nyack Evening Journal noted that, "Through his phenomenal ability to move persons by the power of his eloquence to contribute to his treasury, Dr. Simpson raised $226,000 at two meetings which he recently addressed. One of these was at Old Orchard, last August, where his auditors gave their watches, jewelry and pianos to swell the fund, and $102,324 was realized.
"At Carnegie Hall, on Sunday Oct 11, Dr. Simpson broke his record by securing $125,000. There was no doubt, therefore, that the reverend Doctor will successfully carry out his plans to create this great religious resort on the banks of the Hudson."
With all things in readiness, it was planned to start work on the erection of the college building as soon as weather permitted. On March 22, 1897, the Nyack Evening Journal wrote, "The Alliance people are to be congratulated upon securing such a handsome location for the carrying on of their praiseworthy work, and the people of this town certainly are to be congratulated upon the bright outlook now presented."
Mr. Leeming, the architect, had full plans drawn up and waiting. Upon the advice of Charles McElroy as carpenter and builder, the ground for the new building was broken on Tuesday, April 6, 1897. Blauvelt and Garrison, local artisans, were contracted for the masonry. As the work progressed, it was decided that Saturday, April 17, 1897 should be set aside for the laying of the cornerstone. Dr. Simpson made plans to charter two special eight-coach trains on the Northern Railroad carrying approximately 300 persons each, and with those coming on regular trains, the number of visitors was expected to total nearly one thousand.Continue to Part Two

The Washington Post on the silence of most Democratic presidential candidates about religion. In a story called "A Spiritual Struggle for Democrats," the Post cites public opinion polls showing that voters "want to hear more about faith from their national leaders," and proceeds to speculate about why the leading Democrats seem unable to satisfy this yearning. Based on interviews with the candidates, the Post embraces the easy non-answer that most Democratic candidates "are uncomfortable discussing their faith as publicly as Bush does." The Post goes on to note that Bush is "relentlessly courting" conservative white Evangelicals, "those Christians who, among other things, see abortion and homosexuality as going against the Bible." At the same time, the Post suggests that Bush has mastered the art of talking about religion without offending non-Evangelical voters.
So the Post's explanation is essentially this — the Democrats are too intellectually and/or morally superior to stoop to cheap religious talk, whereas Bush has mastered such talk to the point that he can energize his right-wing base, satisfy the desire of more mainstream voters to hear about spirituality, and not appear too fanatical.
The Post never identifies the real reason why none of the top Democratic contenders is talking about his faith — such talk is a massive turn-off for the Democratic base. This isn't speculation. I happened to catch pollster Frank Luntz the other night on Chris Matthews' show. He had organized a focus group of Democratic voters for a recent presidential debate. Members of the group registered real-time reactions to the statements of the candidates, enabling Luntz to evaluate the degree of approval for every thought uttered. A graphic displayed the reactions in the form of a line that reflected the overall popularity of whatever was being said at the moment. During Wesley Clark's presentation, he made the mistake of talking about his spirituality. The line plummeted. I have been involved in this sort of exercise as a lawyer preparing for trial. Rarely have I seen a more dramatically negative result.
Core Democrats, then, simply don't want to hear about religion. But, by a margin of about 2 to 1, Americans do. That's the real "spiritual struggle for Democrats." If the Post had been willing to talk candidly about the Democratic base, it wouldn't have missed the story.

On Saturday night, the Warriors just barely escaped a trap game against the NBA's worst team. If the Warriors give the same effort in Charlotte, they're destined for a loss Monday evening.
The 2012-13 Warriors are dramatically improved, but they're not yet good enough to turn it on late in the game and walk away with a guaranteed win. A few difference bounces of the ball or calls on Saturday, and we'd all be bemoaning how the Warriors dropped to the level of their competition. Ideally, against beatable opponents like the Wizards and Bobcats, the Warriors should push the tempo early and build an early lead — allowing them to rest their starters. That's particularly key on a long road trip like this one when the tough games are at the back end.
Will the Warriors step up their play in Stephen Curry's return home? Or will they settle again for too many jumpers and be forced to scramble in the fourth quarter to secure a victory? Whatever happens, drop your comments below.

The postcard reads: "Dear Mrs. Stevens, We arrived quite safe at Whitwick & are enjoying ourselves very much. I have seen Mother & Father and they are quite well, I hope you are. Give my love to Mr. Stevens & yourself. It is much quieter here than in Leicester, the air is much fresher. We have been out every night so far & we are going to church tonight, with best love to you all from Milly." The postmark show that it was sent from Whitwick A on August 6th 1906, to Mrs. Stevens, 74 Montague Road, Clarendon Park, Leicester.
First let's look at the addressee, Mrs Stevens. John Stevens (born c1842), of Belton in Rutland, married Sarah Ann Jelley (born c1848), born in Burton Overy, in Leicester in 1867, thus elevating her to the exalted position of Mrs Stevens and freeing her from a rather silly name. They started their married life in Leicester. In 1871 they lived at 2 Bethel Court, Black Friars with their daughter Sarah Jane, who sadly died at the end of the year aged just two. She was the only child to be born alive to John and Sarah Ann. By 1881 they were living at 28 Cosby Street in St Margaret's. In 1881 John and Sarah lived alone at 28 Cosby Street in St. Margaret's, Leicester. John's occupation was 'Grocery' and Sarah's as 'fancy hand', which is not the disreputable trade it sounds like! In 1891 John and Sarah Ann had moved to Montague Road – number 26, though as the road had only just been built a couple of years previously and may not have been completed (I need to check), it may have been renumbered later. Because John and Sarah Ann spent at least 20 years living at the address on our postcard, 74 Montague Road. In 1901 and 1911 – as with 1891 – they had a boarder, William Henry Thorp, a joiner. That's 30 years of playing gooseberry. John was a domestic coachman, and I would love to know for whom…maybe for one of the grander houses in Clarendon Park or Stoneygate. Sarah died aged 67 in 1915
Now, as to "Milly", the author of the postcard…I have looked into various possibilities. Could she have been a sister of John or Sarah Ann? Neither set of their parents seems to have been alive in 1906 so her reference to "Mother and Father" precludes that. I can't find any obvious links to either the Jelleys or the Stevens but as always, a simple solution has been staring me in the face, in the form of a Millicent Emily Jelly living at 20 Montague Road in the 1901 census. There is absolutely no proof, nor any clue to a relationship, but it does seem more than a coincidence. Millicent and Jell(e)y are two names that few people have attempted to put together (very wisely, I feel. Though in searching I did find a baptism for Kelly Jelly, which amounts to child abuse in my view), and to be living in the same road is enough to satisfy me, in a strictly non-professional way of course.
As to Milly's remarks, whomever she may have been….she was obviously enjoying her holiday in sunny Whitwick (near Coalville) and who can blame her? Out every night and church on Sunday. The air must have been noticeably fresher, away from the factories and the smog of coal fires in close terraced houses. Though why she chose to commemorate with a postcard of Glasgow is anyone's guess. If it was Milly Jelley then she would have been 14, just old enough to have started work, possibly as a tailoring machinist as she was in 1911. She went on to marry Albert Hambly in 1922.
I have a small collection of postcards to Clarendon Park. I find them just as interesting as postcards of Clarendon Park. I hope you agree. Regards, Elizabeth.

BAYFIELD The double bonus buried the Wolverines.
The No. 2-ranked Centauri Falcons scored 11 fourth-quarter points from the foul line to hold off a near comeback by the Bayfield High School girls basketball team and win 59-53 on Friday night at BHS.
Although the Falcons, ranked second in Class 3A by The Denver Post, hit just 55 percent of their final-frame free throws, the barrage of early double-bonus opportunities added too much to a hill of other little miscues that proved too high to climb for the Wolverines, who still played inspired basketball to hang with a really good ball team, head coach Ronnie Posey said.
Centauris Tori Fringer scored four of her game-leading 18 points on free throws in the final quarter, and Taylor Wilson knocked down six freebies as part of her 17 to stuff the Bayfield comeback and keep the Falcons perfect in the Intermountain League.
Thats tough when youre giving up two shots, Posey said.
There are things we can count that will make a difference.
But the Wolverines fixed many of those things after a first half that included 22 Bayfield turnovers in the face of a full-court Centauri press.
We didnt come out as hot as we should have, said Destini McGhehey.
Just stupid errors.
Bayfield trailed 36-24 at the halfway mark, just two points short of their largest deficit of the evening.
Micaela Knickerbocker led the rally attempt herself, directing the Wolverines defense to tighten up and give the offense opportunities to cut into the Falcons lead.
Just played hard nosed, Posey said.
Wilson, who scored nine first-quarter points on three consecutive 3-pointers, disappeared under the pressure and four fouls in the third quarter.
Then, we held her pretty well in check, Posey said.
On offense, too, Knickerbocker set the example, converting steals and turning fast breaks into easy layups. Knickerbocker led the Wolverines with 17 points on the night
Shes a quarterback, Posey said. She understands the game well.
McGhehey followed her lead, even putting in some wild runs through the paint to finish with seven points to help the Wolverines win the third quarter and pull within six points at 38-46. Haley Clarke and Chanel McCloskey each scored eight, more than half of those points on free throws as the Wolverines shot 77 percent from the line.
Asked which of his players stood out in the attempted comeback, Posey said Can you list 10 girls?
Theres not a let up with this team. We dont feel like we have to hide anybody, Posey said, nodding to his bench as putting forth good effort.
After a run of a double-bonus free throws opened back up a 10-point gap in the fourth quarter, the Wolverines closed within five on a McCloskey 3-pointer with just more than a minute to play, but the stalling Falcons let the Bayfield girls no closer.
Besides the fact that we lost, it was a great ending, Knickerbocker said. I dont know if youd call it a booster, but it definitely encouraged us a little bit.
Bayfield (7-6 overall, 1-2 IML) plays Alamosa at 1:30 p.m. today at BHS.

Colorado Symphony Orchestra music director Andrew Litton visited "Take Note" with Susan Gatschet Reese to preview their weekend performances of the Gershwin opera Porgy & Bess.
"Had (George Gershwin) lived, I am absolutely positive that he would have been our greatest opera composer ever," Litton told Gatschet Reese. In the early 90s Litton edited "the best parts" for an orchestral suite, and the Gershwin family approved. Duain Wolfe directs the Colorado Symphony Chorus. Soloists are Janice Chandler Eteme, Karen Slack, Howard Haskin and Gordon Hawkins.
Susan and Andrew spent a little bit of time during the interview discussing how he conducts from the piano (getting his players to have "a jazz-like sense of ensemble"), the future of Boettcher Concert Hall ("a holding pattern"), and the essential work of building audiences for jazz and classical music.
The feature closes with Oscar Peterson's "I Wants to Stay Here (I Loves You Porgy)," from the CD Oscar Peterson Plays Porgy & Bess.

It is a fun and challenging block-sliding game. Easy to learn, but hard to master.
The object of the game is to clear the board by removing groups of blocks of the same color.
The more blocks you clear in a single move, the higher your score and the further you can progress in the game.

Carp is so terrible he is starting. McQuistan is so terrible he is starting. You guys sit around singing praises of players who are as mediocre as some you bash simply b/c you like them.
Hurd is a perfect example of a fine player, stuck in a bad place and while I have never been impressed by anything he does on the field -- I don't think he sucks. I just think he has a role -- 3rd WR and ST. That is his limit.
Carp and McQuistan are the same -- adequate guys who in the long run won't cost much and basically fill a need well enough. Kosier to me is much the same -- not great but good enough. Fasano -- same thing -- good enough for what they needed but fannies run him out b/c he is not the next Kellen Winslow. Lousaka Polite, all Pro FB, but he sucked so we needed to waste a 6th on Deon Anderson.
You will never get All-Pro production from every player on the field and sometimes adequate athletes who ware smart and do their assignments perfectly are better than the star.
Then you have fannies sweat players like Bigg Davis and frankly I have seen him toasted so often as to be embarrassing but he gets love because he looks great in sweat pants and in the weight room. Loving up Martellus but he is not a difference maker yet and makes tons of mistakes.
Polite, Fasano, Carpenter, McQuistan, Proctor were all good enough for what they were needed for but ....... player movement for the sake of plaeyr movement.

We excited to share another great blog by special guest author Suzanne Rowan Kelleher from MiniTime.com, the family trip-planning site that makes traveling with kids easier. As a go-to travel expert, Suzanne has appeared on national TV and radio programs including CNN, ABC News Now and NBC News. She is married with three kids.
Early in the New Year is the perfect time to start thinking about your next family vacation. Admittedly, the least fun part of trip-planning is figuring out how you're going to pay for it. But coming up with some strategies and sticking to them is the best way to make sure 2013 includes some fun time away with the kids, whether you're heading to Kansas City or Niagara Falls.
Saving is a valuable life lesson, so don't hesitate to involve your children. "The most important thing kids need to learn about managing money is how to make choices, which comes up all the time in planning a family vacation," says Janet Bodnar, who writes the Money Smart Kids column at Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
Here are a few 5 strategies for financing your next family getaway:
Make it a team effort. Start brainstorming with your kids about simple ways to save here and there to meet your goal. Hold a garage sale. Collect your loose change in a vacation jar. Cut back on how often your family orders in and dines out. As you track your progress, point out those valuable lessons. "Small amounts really do add up over time. Having patience really can pay off," says Bodnar.
Turn on auto pilot. "The very best way to save money is to take it off the top before you even see it," says Bodnar, who suggests setting up an automatic transfer into a savings account earmarked for your vacation. A $150-a-month contribution adds up to $1,800 in a year!
Figure in your paycheck. Do your employee benefits include paid vacation days? If so, you don't need to save up 100 percent of your vacation's price tag, says Bodnar, since you can finance part of your spend with your paycheck. "Whatever you would have spent at home for food and recreation during the same period can be put toward your vacation budget," she explains. So if your family of four typically spends $250 on groceries and $80 on recreation and entertainment in a week, that's $330 you won't have to save for your weeklong getaway.
Devise a pay-off plan. If you're only able to sock away half of what your vacation will cost, Bodnar says it's vital to pay off the remainder within six months of returning home. "It's so important not to get in over your head," she says. "For most people, six months is a manageable amount of time."

Our Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer exhibition has been swinging since Elvis' 75th birthday back in 2010. Enthusiasm for this exhibition, comprised of 56 black-and-white images taken by the acclaimed photographer Alfred Wertheimer, has never wanned. In fact, the buzz about Elvis has become something of a frenzy at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond.
A few weeks after throwing an incredible Elvis birthday gig attended by nearly 2,000 people, the museum hosted a screening of "Elvis '56," a 1987 documentary film narrated by Levon Helm, the Arkansas-born drummer-singer for "The Band." It was the first time I had seen the movie in full, but within the first four minutes, I was struck by two things: One was that Helm was the perfect interpreter of Elvis' story. With iconic hits like "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and "The Weight," he clearly understood the soul of Southern music and the culture that gave birth to it.
The other thing was that the viewers weren't just watching the clips, they were responding to the film. When Elvis sang, they came to life. He danced, and they were exuberant. Elvis was their hero. They cheered when the narrator recited John Lennon's words "Before Elvis, there was nothing." And when the girls in the original 1956 footage screamed, there were collective murmurs of understanding as if the crowd too remembered getting all worked up. When Elvis swung his hips aggressively, provocatively, in one performance, they felt the power of that pelvis, even now. In this YouTube-age of anything goes, that was as surprise.
With every seat in the auditorium occupied by a fan, it almost felt like we were back at the Mosque Theater (Richmond, VA) on June 30, 1956. Here, the most memorable images in the exhibition were shot; here, the girls hung on window ledges trying to catch Elvis' eye during rehearsal, and here, Elvis stole away for a steamy, toungue-touching kiss in a back stairwell.
Some 56 years later, Alfred Wertheimer recalled that the fans screamed, "We want Elvis! We want Elvis!" I could hear echoes of those words again in the auditorium. It was truly the closest many of us would get to seeing Elvis live!
Special thanks to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for their fantastic programming in conjunction with "Elvis at 21, Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer." For more on the exhibition and discussions with other fans, visit the show on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Hey guys
I know this is a very unsupported platform now but I recently acquired an hx4700, flashed to wm5. I have successfully got the Win CE port to work in it running from a 2Gb SD card. (scummvm engine files are on the card itself, not on the pocket pc, so I should have all of the base memory free... I hope)
Some games run just fine (Amazon Queen, The Dig) but some (Loom and Broken Sword 2) fail with Assertion errors.
I read in some previous posts that Fingolfin suggested assertion errors are due to memory issues. Fair comment. However even when running the scummvm3 file, I still cannot get BS2 to run.
A shame really, I would liketo play this game on the road, any ideas or am I doomed to buying a more modern device to take with me
edit: sorry, forgot to mention that I downloaded the latest version of the CE port from the scummvm website, version 1.4.0
: update :
Seems to be the sound files causing issues, too large. If anybody stil reading this thread, I will try on my other hx4700 using WinCE 2003 SE to see if it is the o/s hogging resources or just plain lack of memory.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney plans to attend three debates before the Thanksgiving holidays.
Romney's campaign said Friday that he will participate in a Nov. 22 debate in Washington hosted by the Heritage Foundation. He's also set to attend a debate in South Carolina on Nov. 12, as well as next week's debate in Michigan Nov. 9.
Romney spokeswoman Gail Gitcho says the campaign is still deciding about future debates, including one scheduled in Arizona for Nov. 30. The campaign has also not decided whether to attend a Nov. 19 forum hosted by a socially conservative group in Iowa.
Romney was in Washington Friday speaking to the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, a tea party-allied group.

He's currently worse than replacement level (-0.1 WAR) and not exactly inspiring confidence in his late-inning appearances. It's curious as to why that is.
League has always had a good fastball, in terms of velocity. When I heard Steve Lyons say on the broadcast the other day (paraphrase), "League doesn't have the velocity to miss up," I was stumped. Yes, I recognize it's Lyons and he says about 45 dumb things per game, and I thought this was no exception. This was a guy who averaged 95.2 MPH on his fastball last season -- good for 19th-best in the majors.
Through nine appearances this season, he's averaging 93.8 MPH on his fastball. Not exactly Ted Lilly, but also curious as to why he's throwing his fastball 1.4 MPH slower than last season.
League is throwing his fastball at a 61.2 percent clip -- more than 5 percent less than last season (66.7 percent). He's seen his split-finger fastball percentage rise by almost 4 percent and his slider percentage rise by nearly 2 percent. That pretty much makes up the difference, but I'm wondering why League is going to his off-speed stuff more frequently early on this season.
League has struggled in recent outings, giving up runs in three of his last four appearances. He blew a save on Wednesday and gave up a home run to Mets' first baseman Ike Davis on Thursday. Luckily, the Dodgers had a two-run lead heading into the ninth.
Something different from League's last five seasons is he's getting less swings at pitches outside the strike zone. He's been above-average in that respect, but this season, he's getting just 23.7 percent swings outside the zone. The league-average is 29 percent. League doesn't get a lot of strikeouts, so getting swings on pitches outside the zone is paramount. That also comes when his sinker is working well. So far, it hasn't worked well.
This will probably be a moot point (to a certain extent) later in the season. Kenley Jansen is the best reliever the Dodgers have (by a wide margin). The fact he isn't closing right now is both good and bad. It allows Don Mattingly to use Jansen in the eighth inning and -- on rare occasions -- in the seventh inning, when the outcome of the game could still be in the balance. But if the game is in the balance in the ninth inning, League will be the go-to guy, regardless of the situation.
League's not a particularly good strikeout pitcher. He averaged 9.2 K/9 in 2009, which is not the norm. He's never averaged better than 6.8 K/9, which he did last season. This year, he's struck out just three hitters in nine innings (3.0 K/9).
At least he isn't walking anyone. League's allowed just one walk so far this season.
League will, hopefully, get better as the season progresses. Even the Dodgers probably can't (even though they can) afford the luxury that is a $7.5 million setup man.

Franklin, TN
Drawing and painting have always been a part of my life, but it wasn't until my sophomore year in college that I was encouraged to pursue an art career. Before I graduated, I was married and soon became a stay-at-home Mom. Once the children were in school, I went back to work but not in the art field – product sales, real estate sales, office management and campus ministry. Even though I created paintings and pen and ink drawings over the years, I was not able to pursue an art career full-time until recently. Now that I am a Grandmother, I have the freedom to paint and draw again!
Among my commissioned commercial works are drawings of Historic Yellow Springs in Chester Springs, PA. used in their publications, brochures and newsletters; and a drawing of The Village of Laurel Run in Fayetteville, PA used in their marketing materials, cards and newsletters. I've also been commissioned to do personal residences in both PA and TN. My artwork is currently on display at the Tennessee Art League in Nashville, TN.
Please visit my other website – www.janetlking.com. I hope you will enjoy what you see! I give all the credit and glory to God for the ability to put down on paper the beauty that I see! Let me know if I can create a custom painting or pen & ink drawing for you.

'Star Trek Into Darkness': Pine, Quinto on film's real-world parallels

"Star Trek" has always been about more than a spaceship crew hurtling through the cosmos — over the decades, the sci-fi series in all its forms has tackled earthly issues such as race, gender and the Vietnam War.
When it comes to shining a spotlight on contemporary conflicts, the film and television franchise's newest entry, the movie "Star Trek Into Darkness," is no exception.
Directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof and Roberto Orci, "Into Darkness," which opens May 17, sees the return of Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine), Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the USS Enterprise crew, as they face a new villain, John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch).
As with so much in the fictional worlds Abrams creates ("Lost," "Super 8"), many details around the movie have been cloaked in mystery, including the true identity of Cumberbatch's character. But on a breezy afternoon in March, on the roof of a Hollywood photo studio, Pine and Quinto shared insight into John Harrison — and the movie's present-day parallels.
"This film is about earthbound terror," said Pine, speaking weeks before the real-life bombing at the Boston Marathon. "It's about terrorism, about issues we as human beings in 2013 deal with every day, about the exploitation of fear to take advantage of a population, about physical violence and destruction but also psychological manipulation. John Harrison is a terrorist in the mold of those we've become accustomed to in this day and age."
Much of the humanity in Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" origins movie, which was the 11th film in the franchise, came from the rivalry and ultimately the friendship that developed between reckless young Kirk and analytical young Spock.
The new film from Paramount Pictures is rich with action — Kirk and Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban) race through fields of scarlet foliage, a Starfleet ship rises from the ocean, Spock descends into an erupting volcano.
"You can't even imagine how elaborate this set was," Quinto said of the volcano scene, for which he wore a cumbersome suit. "Lava rocks, smoke, fire machines, sparks. I had to communicate with a speaker inside my helmet…. It was meditative in a way. I got real quiet and real still."
But apart from the action, the movie is again rooted in its well-defined characters, Quinto noted.
"In this movie, Kirk really needs to learn how to be a captain, not just sit in the captain's chair, and Spock needs to learn how to be a friend, not just be accountable and reliable and responsible," Quinto said. "In the first movie, it was about all of us coming together, unifying to defeat an enemy. This movie is more about the way an enemy splits us apart. We have to divide in order to conquer in this film."
In conversation, Pine and Quinto share an easy affinity — when Pine noted that they had been able to avoid being typecast despite playing such memorable characters, Quinto raised his eyebrows. "This from the guy who doesn't have to wear pointy ears," he said.
Over the years, Pine and Quinto's off-screen friendship has helped them establish an on-screen rapport — the two met before they were cast in "Star Trek," at an event writer-producer Norman Lear organized to showcase his copy of the Declaration of Independence.
"I remember feeling, as I got to know Chris more, so impressed by his intelligence, which isn't always the case with such a traditional leading man," Quinto said. "I remember being pleasantly, not surprised, but …"
"You thought I was just a dumb blond," Pine interrupted. "Actually, I have many more Spockian qualities than I do Kirkian qualities. We were two peas in a pod," he said of Quinto, "in that we think about things way more than we should. We analyze."

I know it's crazy in today's game to think of a service school player as a potential Heisman finalist but could it happen this year. Dobbs is probably the most hyped Navy QB since Roger Staubach. Last year he had a prolific passing year for Navy standards with 1031 yards passing and 6 TD's. Rushing he had 1192 yards, and 26 TD's. The thing to look at is the fact that it isn't crazy to believe that Navy can run the table. They have no ranked opponents this year. Notre Dame, today against Maryland, and Wake are their toughest opponents. Last year they beat Notre Dame @ Notre Dame. Obviously he's hurt by the fact that he isn't an NFL prospect and that the option offense is though to be a gimmick, but IMO if you can lead the country in rushing perennially even when the defense knows it's coming, that's no gimmick. I just think it'd be nice to see a guy who plays for a service school becoming a Heisman finalist. He has a chance this year to have monster numbers and lead his team to at least a 10 win season. IMO if he can get around 1500 yards passing, 10 TD's and 1500 yards rushing and around 20-30 TD's, he should be right up there in Heisman balloting.
No announcement yet.

Dobbs is a great kid and I know a ton of Midshipman that are friends with him and say he is a great guy.
With that said, I don't think so it could happen. He doesn't put up enough passing yards for a quarterback to get votes. Also, with no ranked opponants, it looks like a weak schedule in a gimmick offense.
If they run the table some people could start some noise about it. I can see them inviting him to New York just for show, but it won't happen.
Thanks to The Dynasty for the sig
As much as I too would love to see it happen, it just won't. No matter how productive he is, he'll never get the national attention, exposure and press needed to be a Heisman contender in today's college football. He is an exceptional player but being the most outstanding player in college football is no longer the sole criteria for awarding the Heisman. With all that being said, I really hope I am proven wrong. Hopefully his production so impressive, that the voters can't just look past it.
This is what the Maxwell award is essentially for... the real MVP/Most Productive Player in college football.
When Antwan Randel El put up insane numbers, this is what he won, since Indiana went like 6-6 or whatever it was.
I could be wrong, but I think Seneca Wallace won this too.
I'm pretty sure every Maxwell winner was a Heisman finalist as well.

His only chance is if Navy goes undefeated/wins 10 or 11 games.
Why cant he be viewed like a versatile running back?
that essentially what he is, except instead of catching passes hes throwing them.Originally posted by Thumper/JBCX/BixbyOrton will never be in the same class as the Drew Brees or the Peyton Mannings or the Tom Bradys of the world. Kevin Kolb has the potential to be that kind of player.

Not if the Navy offense plays like this. The fumbles are just inexcusible.
Thanks to The Dynasty for the sig
Yeah if Dobbs wants to be a Heisman candidate he has to play huge in games like this and against Wake and Notre Dame. Because against some of their cupcakes Dobbs will have monster games. If they lose this game though candidacy over.

We are making this change because we are using the tagline: "Stuff we love."
This is NOT a Mexican brand. No use of cliched Mexican icons.

Hi, I found my durango at an local chevy lot back in 08 when I was just browsing. When I first saw it, it was love at first site as it was extremly clean and I loved the two-tone paint. I went back the next day and traded the crappy expedition I had for 1month in for it and new it was the right choice right away.
While this is a daily driver she doesnt get many miles added on her in an yr, its alot less then the adverage DD. While not kept under a cover or in a garage she is kept in the best condition I can do and I think it pays off! The whole car apperance wise is atleast 9.5 out of a 10.
I honestly think she has saved our life or serious injury as when we were rear ended by an mustang at 60+ mph which slammed us into a pt cruiser we came out with minimal injury and the car did not look like it was just rear ended unlike the mustang looked like it was involved in a head on crash.
It also has had minimal problems with it other then the tie rod needs to be replaced which is an common problem. With 67k miles on the clock I think that is pretty good.
She also moves out pretty good to when you need it as 300lbs of torque and awd creates an fun ride. will most defintly hold its own against the adverage car.
Thanks for reading about Brandy!

Q. Please settle a debate with my husband: Television mounted over the fireplace, yes or no?
Q. Please settle a debate with my husband: Television mounted over the fireplace, yes or no?
A. I'm not a fan of this trend. They are usually mounted way too high for comfortable viewing, especially when seated. It may be comfortable to watch a television over a fireplace when the fireplace is low. Ideally your TV should be at eye level for comfortable viewing unless you want your home to feel like a sports bar.
Don't force this placement if there is a better location. Sometimes over the fireplace makes no sense, and yet people see the trend and go for it. Consider a tilted TV mount to position and tilt for comfortable viewing.
There are many factors to consider when having multiple focal points. The fireplace and TV are two. A beautiful view is another. It is best to orient seating toward the focal points. Just because the builder placed the cable TV outlet in a particular spot on the wall does not mean it is the best placement for it. Space planning is important for a comfortable, functioning space.
If creating a home gym area, by all means hang the TV high for comfortable viewing while on exercise equipment.
Q. Are certain trim colors on the outside of a house known to impact a potential buyer's first impression more than other colors? What trim color do you recommend for a light gray home?
A. If selling, now is not the time to experiment and make a bold statement unless it is a Victorian-style painted-lady house.
A few years ago I did a staging consult for a house that was pink with yellow trim. I didn't even walk through the door, and that was No. 1 on my priority list. The house is now white with black trim.
For selling, the home should look well-maintained, and color should make sense. There are many factors to consider when selecting exterior trim colors: Architectural style, location and existing color of exterior.
A light gray will work best with a classic color scheme: white trim and black shutters. Denise Incorvaia of Gervic Paint suggests a black front door, too. Black is classic, but I would also consider red for good luck, especially when selling. A red door symbolizes welcome and good luck.

Beltran homers twice in St. Louis rout
St. Louis, MO – Carlos Beltran homered twice and Lance Lynn pitched seven strong innings to power the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Lynn (4-0), who entered Friday with a nine-inning scoreless streak, gave up his only run on a sixth-inning sacrifice fly from Pedro Alvarez. That scored Garrett Jones, who led off with a double. The right-hander allowed only one other hit, a single from Starling Marte to lead off the game.
"I've gotten into a little bit of a groove here," Lynn said. "It's good to be staying in that groove. I was able to get my fastball early and mix in offspeed pitches. That's what you have to do, keep them off balance, but also know who you are and challenge them with a fastball."
Allen Craig and Beltran each drove in three runs in St. Louis' fourth consecutive win.
Lynn, who had three walks and nine strikeouts, has a nine-game winning streak dating back to last year. His last regular season defeat came Sept. 7, against Milwaukee in relief.
Matt Carpenter and Beltran homered to start the game against Jonathan Sanchez, (0-3), who was ejected later in the first inning along with Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle.
The ejections came after Sanchez pegged Craig in the helmet with a pitch. Hurdle was ejected for arguing, and Jeanmar Gomez pitched the ensuing 4 1/3 innings.
"I have every belief he's trying to pitch in hard," Hurdle said of Sanchez. "He missed his spots over the plate so he's trying to push the hitter back and he clips him. Tim (Timmons) didn't see it that way."
Pirates hitting coach Jay Bell was ejected in the fifth inning by Timmons for arguing. That came after Marte was hit for the second time by Lynn.
The Pirates, who totaled just five hits, had a three-game winning streak broken and lost for just the second time in eight contests.
Carpenter homered to center to start the bottom of the first, and then batting right-handed, Beltran homered to left field.
Craig singled in Matt Holliday in the third and Beltran went deep with Carpenter aboard in the fifth for his sixth homer of the year.
The Cardinals tacked on four runs in the eighth after the Pirates wasted a bases-loaded chance in the top half. Pete Kozma and Holliday each had RBI base hits, and Craig added a two-run single, all off Vin Mazzaro.
Game Notes
The Cardinals placed first baseman Matt Adams on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a strained right oblique. The move is retroactive to April 22, while the team also purchased the contract of infielder Jermaine Curtis from Triple-A Memphis to fill the roster spot ... Lynn is 23-8 in his first 31 career decisions ... Beltran homered from both sides of the plate for the 10th time in his career.

The Wild Traveler
The Wild Traveler is radio show aired on WCTR which is can be heard in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The radio show is hosted by James Pedeaston. The show is syndicated on 9 other stations, none of which are heard in any other GTA game.
The show talks about Pedeaston's 'exotic' travles through third-world countries, and occasionally (and accidentally) reads out of his 'travel log', which usually contains Pedeaston's desires to have sexual relations with young children. His pedophillia disgusts his listeners so much that, occasionally, no one calls in to his show. His favourite memory seems to be a relationship with a boy named Avrindar in Sri Lanka. He also reads a history when he paid some rupees to be with a boy in green that sometimes looks like a girl, a reference to Link, from The Legend of Zelda. His show appears to be so reviled by his listeners that at one point, the few calls which he receives are not supportive. For example, a caller tells him to stop droning on about other countries and focus on talking about where he lives. At one point he received a phone call from a suicidal man in Verdant Bluffs who wanted to go to hell. Pedeaston replies with "Me too! Buy me a refrigerator magnet when you get there".
Pedeaston was being investagated by the FBI in 1992, and is arrested in 2003 in Bali for sexual misconduct.

Lamprey River Elementary addition not in mix for 2014By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
July 12. 2013 8:40PM
RAYMOND — The School Board voted Wednesday night not to move forward with a bond proposal in March 2014 for an addition to the Lamprey River Elementary School.
Board members spent nearly two hours discussing whether to go ahead with a reduced project that would have added classrooms to replace the portable units that house about 10 classrooms.
Although board members expressed concern for the safety of students traveling back and forth between the detached portables and the main school building during the day, some felt those concerns could be addressed without a full addition to the school.
The Lamprey River Elementary School Building Committee has been working since October 2011 on a proposal to deal with space and security concerns at the elementary school.
They paid Bonnette, Page and Stone of Laconia about $25,000 to develop a conceptual design for renovating and adding onto the school, before learning a town ordinance regarding the Lamprey River floodplain would make any project there difficult, if not impossible.
The committee then spent about $3,000 looking at alternatives for a new school building elsewhere, but found the costs to be too high.
And then the state Legislature voted in a new biennial budget last month that does not include any funding for school building aid, leading the committee to scale back plans to only address the classroom needs of the school in the hope that local taxpayers would agree to pay the bill.
And that is what they presented the school board with Wednesday. But to come up with the design and move forward with a bond proposal, Bonnette, Page and Stone requested another $25,000 for the work.
Board members voted down a motion to move forward with the bond by a vote of 2-2-1, with Stephen Reardon abstaining.
"I am not in favor of this without any state reimbursement and the economy still being the way it is. You're shooting your foot … why can't we just try to look at better ways so that in two years we're ready to go when state funding could be back up and running," board member Tina Thomas said.
Board member Daniel Chouinard said he did not feel comfortable moving ahead with the expenditure because he did not feel he had enough information. Reardon agreed.
"What is challenging me and I think some of the other board members is we just don't feel we have the necessary information to vote up or down on a bond tonight," Reardon said.
Board member Kelly Lehman said she felt the board needed to present something to voters in March to address the safety concerns.
It is unclear what happens now.
Building committee chairman Alec O'Meara said if the board is no longer interested in a long-term solution, then the committee's charge is no longer valid.
Resident and building committee member Jack Barnes asked selectmen to come up with something to address the safety issues of the portables."I think we owe it to the parents and the kids to fix that stupid situation down there with those portable schools we have at the elementary school," Barnes said.

Before choosing an insurance package, it is important for you to know what types of insurance. Well, essentially insurance is divided into three categories, namely general insurance, life insurance and loss insurance. However, it is still common so those three types of insurance then are developed to some types to facilitate you and the company to provide insurance package that suits your needs.
5 Types Of Insurance
The insurance company made a policy of insurance grouped in accordance with the focus and the risk. They provide a measure of uniformity in the type of risks covered by the policy, which in turn, it allows the insurance company to anticipate potential losses and set premiums accordingly. The most common forms of types of insurance policy are;
Life insurance
Life insurance provides some financial benefits to the person designated for the death of the insured. Some insurance companies provide payment only after the death of the insured and others may allow the insured to claim the funds before his death.
Health Insurance
Health insurance is an insurance product that specifically addresses the health problems caused by an illness and treatment processes to bear on the members of the insurance.
Vehicle insurance
The most popular vehicle insurance is car insurance. For example, this insurance is for an injury to other persons or for damage to others' vehicles caused by the insured vehicle.
Home and property insurance
Home insurance is to protect homeowners from the losses associated with their home while personal property insurance is to protect against loss of, or damage to, certain items of the property including by fire.
Education insurance
Education insurance is a smart solution to ensure a better in the future. The cost of the premium that is to be paid by the participants of the insurance depends on the type of education that will be obtained later.
Those are the most common types of insurance that you should understand since each of them has different terms and conditions including the premium that you should pay. It is advised to learn more about each type of insurance.

The last item in the box: A white chrysanthemum. (Jay West)Link
Jay West is a guest writer on Hero Complex with a focus on toys, collectibles and fan culture.
While being caught up with work at my computer last week, a friend accepted a Fed Ex package for me at my door. My friend, knowing that I'm a collector of movie-related collectibles, asked if I'd ordered some kind of vintage, movie tie-in lunchbox. I understood the question when I saw the battered metal box with the creaking hinged top. There was a letter inside with this message:
Dear Jay West,
We invite you to inspect these artifacts from Alcatraz. Over the next few months, we will be looking to you, and your audience, to help us uncover the mysteries of the island. Should your careful examination of the contents of this box lead you to any new discoveries, we urge you to share with your community. More of the story and further instructions are forthcoming. We hope you choose to participate!
Inside there was also a large Alcatraz prison key, a ripped-out newspaper article about the closing of the prison in 1963 and a tourist map of the grounds. I also pulled out a ripped portion of two entries in an "Inmates of Alcatraz" book and an eerie, child-like handwritten message on postcard. There was a modern artifact — a lenticular postcard with changing imagery of a cell block in 1960 (with inmates) to a vacated cell block of latter date (no inmates) and a torn magazine page with a critic's review of "Inmates of Alcatraz," a book by Dr. Diego Soto (with Jorge Garcia of "Lost" fame pictured as Soto). In the review, certain letters had been circled and they spelled out "Legends of Alcatraz."
Ah, and there was one last thing in the box: a white chrysanthemum.
So, of course, back at the computer I typed in "LegendsofAlcatraz.com" — I was taken to a page displaying (at the time) a countdown clock for the premiere to "Alcatraz." It's all part of an already-intriguing alternate reality game (ARG), which involves players via problem solving and active participation so as to lead to content reveals of the mythos behind a project, and encourages interaction with the storyline itself — the likes of which have been done in recent years for "Tron: Legacy" and "Real Steel." The website for the new J.J. Abrams show later depicted an image of an antiquated typewriter, with a typed paper stating a call to action for players of the ARG:
ALCATRAZ. The most notorious federal penitentiary this country has ever known. Its history runs far and deep, as do the stories, the rumors, and the LEGENDS. Now it's your turn to roam the cell blocks that so many have claimed to be haunted, to dig through its dark past, and unlock its many secrets. Over the upcoming weeks, you will be challenged to examine Alcatraz in its past and present form. You will be tasked to solve perplexing anomalies and crack the many puzzles that surround this most infamous rock. The search will lead some of you to seek out clues in city streets, and may even bring those who dare to the island itself.
Let us know in the comments section what you've discovered locked up in the "Alcatraz" ARG…

For each gene, the percentage of the variance of the normalized log-expression values that is explained by the (log-transformed) total spike-in counts, the sex or age of the mouse, or the tissue of origin is calculated. Each curve corresponds to one factor and represents the distribution of percentages across all genes.
Nonetheless, we demonstrate how to account for uninteresting technical factors by using sex as an example. We set up a design matrix with the sex of the animal as the explanatory factor for each cell. This ensures that any sex-specific changes in expression will be modelled in our downstream analyses. We do not block on the tissue of origin, despite the fact that it explains more of the variance than sex in Figure 20 . This is because the tissue factor is likely to be associated with genuine differences between cell types, so including it in the model might regress out interesting biological effects.
Other relevant factors include the chip or plate on which the cells were processed and the batch in which the libraries were sequenced. Blocking on these factors may be necessary to account for batch effects that are often observed in scRNA-seq data (
90s Denim Skirt Sales Up to 50 Tommy Hilfiger 9YzJid
; Tung et al. , 2016 ).
We identify HVGs that may be involved in driving population heterogeneity. This is done by fitting a trend to the technical variances for the spike-in transcripts. We then compute the biological component of the variance for each endogenous gene by subtracting the fitted value of the trend from the total variance.
Figure 21 suggests that the trend is fitted accurately to the technical variances. Errors in fitting are negligible due to the precision of the variance estimates in a large dataset containing thousands of cells. The technical and total variances are also much smaller than those in the HSC dataset. This is due to the use of UMIs which reduces the noise caused by variable PCR amplification. Furthermore, the spike-in trend is consistently lower than the variances of the endogenous genes. This reflects the heterogeneity in gene expression across cells of different types. It also means the previous strategy of fitting a trend to the endogenous variances would not be appropriate here (or necessary, given the quality of the spike-in trend).
The red line represents the mean-dependent trend in the technical variance of the spike-in transcripts (also highlighted as red points).
HVGs are identified as genes with large positive biological components. These are saved to file for future reference. Note that some of the p-values are reported as zero due to numerical imprecision.
If you run a dev script again, you will see that hash number has been updated in both files.
This issue is known and there is even a stack overflow question about it:
After trying a lot of plugins that claim they solve this problem I have finally came to two types of solution:
with just
extract plugin. This was one of the solutions to the
. This appears to be a conflict with webpack 4.3 which introduced a
variable of its . In conjunction, use this plugin:
Now if you make changes to your main.scss file and run dev script, only a new style.css should be generated with a new hash.const WebpackMd5Hash = require('webpack-md5-hash'); style.[hash].css new WebpackMd5Hash()
Now lets test our .js files. Now both files change hash.
There might also be some conflicts still, so
now lets try
Modal Scarf Peacock by VIDA VIDA H8OD0D4En
The Mini CSS plugin is meant to replace extract-text plugin and provide you with better future compatibility.
I have restructured my webpack file to compile style.css with /mini-css-extract-plugin and it works for me./mini-css-extract-plugin and it works for me. // const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin'); const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin"); { test: /\.scss$/, use: [ 'style-loader', MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, 'css-loader', 'sass-loader'] } // new ExtractTextPlugin( // {filename: 'style.[hash].css', disable: false, allChunks: true } // ), new MiniCssExtractPlugin({ filename: 'style.[contenthash].css', }),
As Nikolay Volkov pointed out, 'style-loader' might not be necessary anymore since MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader does the same. Though it might be true I would still recommend to leave it for the fallback.MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader does the same.
To have out output .css polished, we can add PostCSS on top.
PostCSS provides you with autoprefixer, cssnano and other nice and handy stuff. I will show what I am using on a daily basis. We will need postcss-loader. We will also install autoprefixer as we will need it later.

Samples of cinchona bark, Quinquina Route Equateur, prepared Paris, France, 1930-1931
Quinine is the component of cinchona bark which was used to treat and prevent malaria. Besides being used to treat malaria, cinchona bark was also a pain and fever reliever. Quinine is extracted by a complex chemical process. There are many species of the plant. This sample is from Quinquina Route Equateur. The sample was prepared by F Laurent, a pharmacist, at H Salle, a chemist and druggist shop, in Paris, France, in 1930-1931.

LOS ANGELES -- Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman have strong opinions about the demise of "Smash," the highly anticipated but ultimately much-maligned musical TV series about the making of Broadway musicals.
But, to borrow from one of the duo's lyrics, they'd rather just smile and look back.
Not that there's been much time for reflection.
A month after the final "Smash" episode aired on NBC in late May, the Tony-winning Shaiman and Wittman ("Hairspray") added a new hit to their list of credits. They supplied songs to the stage adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved 1964 children's book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The musical opened in London to such strong ticket demand that the show's run was extended by six months, to the end of May 2014.
Then Shaiman and Wittman received more good news: a creative Emmy nomination for one of their "Smash" songs, the ballad "Hang the Moon."
"(It's great) that Scott and I get to represent 'Smash' with this nomination, because it is now no longer," Shaiman said, adding, "(but) there were millions of people who really were enjoying the show, or, certainly, certain parts of the show."
"Hang the Moon" imagines a musical meeting of Marilyn Monroe with her estranged mother, who expresses regret over leaving her daughter alone so often during childhood.
"We knew that Marilyn's mom was a film cutter," Shaiman recalled. "So, we had this great concept where she said, 'If I could only re-edit our lives.'"
Sitting at a piano in his Hollywood Hills recording studio, Shaiman sang the opening verse:
"If our lives were a movie/I'd know what to do/I'd write every scene with my heart/An RKO picture that stars me and you/And this time I'd learn my part."
Shaiman said he grew to learn that "Smash" suffered from having too many cooks in the kitchen.
"And too many chefs all loved it," he continued, soon to be cut off by the ringing of a phone.
"That's them, calling, saying, 'Stop talking about us!'" Shaiman joked.
As for "Charlie," Wittman confirmed the musical is bound for Broadway, but its arrival will be delayed until director Sam Mendes completes the next James Bond movie.
The biggest challenge for the songwriters was meeting the expectations of fans who worship previous takes on the novel, such as the 1971 and 2005 film adaptations.
Fortunately, Shaiman said, the original Dahl text is "so full of wild, great, extravagant and emotional ideas, that musicalizing the book was actually a walk in the park."
Shaiman predicted he and Wittman won't be walking away with an Emmy, given unusually stiff competition in the original-song category this year.
But little matter. If nothing else, "Hang the Moon" will always serve as the duo's pitch-perfect love letter to a smash that just wasn't meant to be.
Shaiman played and sang it out:
"As the final reel ends/We might both shed a tear/For the ending is coming up soon/But as the screen fades to black/We can smile and look back/And for you, darling, I'll hang the moon."
