Per @bdoms suggestion of being explicit on variable declarations.

Article @bdoms referenced: http://benalman.com/news/2012/05/multiple-var-statements-javascript/

I also had the ingenious idea of pushing this to airBnB (by accident), and we got some nice feedback from a couple of their engineers as well: airbnb#143

@doomspork @GabKlein @amdtech @jmacadam @jcarouth feel free to debate if you want. I am neutral on this one.

- Use one `var` declaration for multiple variables and declare each variable on a newline.
- Use `var` declaration for each new variable. This prevents us to have to worry about formatting and is more explicit.

Might want to revisit this sentence: "This prevents us to have to worry about formatting and is more explicit"

Should this example also be changed to match the new style above?
