These Republicans Who Voted To Cut Food Stamps Personally Received Large Farm Subsidies
House Republicans who voted for a $39 billion, ten-year cut to food stamps in a narrow 217–210 vote include several who have personally benefited from large farm subsidies. The piece names Stephen Fincher, whose family farm took in about $3.5 million from 1999 to 2012 even as he quoted the Bible on those unwilling to work not eating, along with Vicky Hartzler (over $800,000), Kristi Noem (an estimated $503,751 attributed to her, from a ranch that got $3.4 million), and Marlin Stutzman (nearly $200,000). It frames this as hypocrisy, includes Stutzman's defense of the cuts as closing loopholes and enforcing work requirements, and notes Obama's veto threat.

Magnific Popup: Responsive jQuery Lightbox Plugin
This is the project page for Magnific Popup, a jQuery/Zepto lightbox and dialog plugin built around speed and a good experience on any device. Its maintainer now marks it deprecated, with only critical or security fixes to come, and points users to the native `<dialog>` element for basic modals and to his PhotoSwipe library for advanced galleries. The page demos the plugin's uses (single images, galleries, zoom, video/map, forms, Ajax, modal and error popups, CSS-animated dialogs) and argues for its design: a tiny modular core of about 3KB gzipped, content sized with CSS rather than JS options, CSS3 transitions, retina support, a conditional mobile fallback, and DOM reuse. It also covers browser support back to IE7/8, the MIT license, and how to report bugs.

Grafico javascript charting library
Grafico is a JavaScript charting library built on Raphaël and Prototype.js, a fork of Alex Young's Ico developed by Kilian Valkhof at Wakoopa. It aims for clean graphs in the spirit of Stephen Few and Edward Tufte, with automatic range selection, hover values, mean lines, and image watermarks, and it covers line, area, stream, bar (stacked and horizontal) charts plus sparkline variants. It was tested on IE6+, Firefox 3+, Chrome, and Safari 4, with Opera slow and prone to hover problems, and it's MIT-licensed on GitHub with contributor credits for the minifier, stream graphs, and stacked bars.
OJ - Unified Templating
This is the landing page for oj.js (CSJS), a JavaScript library that builds websites from view objects instead of separate HTML, CSS, and JS files, with one templating approach covering all three. It comes with built-in Backbone support (two-way binding for models and collections), a set of ready-made components like List, Table, Button, and form elements, and a growing set of plugins such as VimeoVideo and AceEditor. It can manipulate the DOM in the browser or generate HTML and CSS on the server, though Node server-side support is still marked as in progress. Worth keeping as an example of the "everything in JavaScript" templating alternative to markup-based frameworks.
CLNDR.js
CLNDR is a jQuery plugin that skips generating calendar markup. You hand it an Underscore.js template (or a custom render function for another templating language), and it supplies the data to build the calendar: a days array forming the full grid, month and year, weekday labels, row count, and any events already sorted into the right days, plus an eventsThisMonth list. This page is the project's documentation, with example templates, automatic next/previous/today button binding, click and month-change callbacks, and a full options list (weekOffset, startWithMonth, adjacent-month behavior, extras). It also covers the instance methods for navigating months and years and for setting or adding events at runtime.
10 Paradoxical Traits Of Creative People | Fast Company | Business + Innovation
Drawing on psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's book *Creativity*, a study of 91 eminent people, this piece argues that creative people are defined by complexity, holding opposite traits at once. It runs through ten of these pairings, such as high energy and rest, playfulness and discipline, extroversion and introversion, humility and pride, rebellion and conservatism, and passion and objectivity, with quotes and examples like Uccello pacing all night over perspective. The writer, who wonders whether they are an artist or an entrepreneur, concludes that there is no formula for creativity, only resourcefulness, enjoyment of the process itself, and the courage not to give up.
KnpLabs/snappy · GitHub
Snappy is the README for a PHP library that wraps wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage to generate PDFs, thumbnails, or snapshots from a URL or HTML string on OSX, Linux, and Windows. It's a thin wrapper, so you need to install wkhtmltox 0.12.x separately, and many issues turn out to be wkhtmltox problems already covered in the FAQ. Framework integrations exist for Symfony, Laravel, and Zend, and it installs with `composer require knplabs/knp-snappy`. The notable section is a security warning that `--enable-local-file-access` can expose local files or allow remote code execution with untrusted HTML or JavaScript, with advice to avoid it, sanitize input, sandbox the process, or switch to WeasyPrint, Prince, or Puppeteer.
The main element | HTML5 Doctor
HTML5 Doctor's guide to the newly standardised `<main>` element, which maps ARIA's "main" landmark role into HTML so screen readers can find where a page's primary content starts. It traces how Steve Faulkner's research got it accepted in 2012, then covers the rules (one per page, not inside article, aside, footer, header or nav, and no effect on the document outline). It also gives practical steps: set it to display:block, add a createElement shim for old IE, and swap it in for the usual content div, with before-and-after markup from their own site. It notes that the WHATWG version is a meaningless styling hook, recommends the W3C semantics, and reports early support in Firefox 21 and Chrome 26.
Why cards are the future of the web | Inside Intercom
What was saved looks like a blog index page from Fin (the AI customer service agent) rather than a single article, so there is no one argument to summarise. The headline item, dated Sep 9, 2026 and written by Maia Bridi, announces a 2026 AI Sentiment Report based on a survey of over 1,000 end users about how they feel about interacting with AI agents, how capable they think the agents are, and how much they trust them. The rest of the listing is mostly Fin product and practice posts from June to August 2026: Evals and Releases for testing the agent before and after launch, conversation design, a new-product-introduction process, measuring customer experience as AI scales, and making the case for giving an agent system access. It also includes a startup tech stack roundup, a piece on handling failures, an "open Agent platform" announcement, and news that Salesforce signed an agreement to acquire Fin. If you meant to keep the sentiment report itself, the findings aren't in this capture, so you'd need to save that post's own page.
Get-Fit Guy : What to Eat Before and After Exercising :: Quick and Dirty Tips ™
What was saved appears to be an index page from Kevin Don's Get-Fit Guy blog rather than a single article, listing truncated previews of several posts: one on how trust shapes fitness outcomes (and, he says, other pursuits too), one asking whether bone broth is a real health food or a wellness fad, one urging proactivity over New Year's resolution hype, and one on staying motivated to reach fitness goals. Only the opening lines of each post are visible, so none of the arguments are developed here. If you wanted the trust piece or the bone broth evidence discussion specifically, you'd need to go back and open the individual post.
favico.js - Make a use of your favicon
This is the demo and documentation page for Favico.js, a small JavaScript library that draws animated badges (like unread counts) onto a page's favicon. It shows code samples for each animation (slide, fade, pop, popFade, none), plus badge position, shape, colors and custom icon fonts like FontAwesome. It also covers turning an image, an HTML5 video, or a live webcam stream into the favicon, followed by a table of options and defaults (bgColor `#d00`, textColor `#fff`, type circle, position down, animation slide). The page ends with Bower install instructions, links to alternatives (Tinycon, Notify Better, favicon.js), a short roadmap, and a dual GPL/MIT license note.
How the NSA snoop-proofs its Macs | Macworld
A walkthrough that updates the NSA's 2010 two-page "Hardening Tips for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard" pamphlet for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, noting which tips still work, which have moved or broken, and how much usability each one costs. The practical core is to use a standard account instead of an admin one for daily use, turn on automatic updates, FileVault 2 (with a written-down recovery key not stored with Apple), Gatekeeper and the firewall, and disable guest login, password hints, and Apple ID password reset. The riskier measures, like disabling setuid binaries, unneeded services, and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, are flagged as likely to break things, with updated commands and a few extra suggestions such as a firmware password via Recovery, pf instead of ipfw, and Chrome's sandboxed Flash.

Nearly 700 acres of Louisville parkland to open Friday - wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather & Sports
Nearly 700 acres of the Parklands of Floyds Fork in eastern Louisville, roughly the size of Central Park and larger than Cherokee Park, open to the public on a Friday in 2013, finishing about 40 percent of the project. The opening covers the stretch between Shelbyville and Taylorsville roads and about 7 miles of the planned 20-mile Louisville Loop Trail section. Parks director Scott Martin says the nonprofit behind it has raised over $120 million and expects to complete the remaining parks by 2015, designed around projected long-term growth in eastern Jefferson County. Visitors quoted, Becky and Monie Matthews, praise it as well developed and a boost for that end of the county.
