Reviews for Kicklighter Resource Center Inc
Kicklighter Academy answered my call for quality childcare, an enriching environment, caring teachers, and of course, reasonable rates. This facility opened up my eyes and reinstated my trust in others. You want long-term care, security-coded doors and cameras, wide-open privacy fenced playground, age appropriate curriculum and classrooms, no wait lists, off the beaten path and still in the center of town; this proud parent encourages you to just take a tour. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself. It is located on Seawright Drive , off Eisenhower across from National Guard Armory. My daughter is now 4 years and has blossomed due to this school. If you want to escape the childcare woes, you owe it to yourself to give your child truly the best! Look no further than Kicklighter Academy .

Getting into the debugger doesn't really tell you which toplevel it actually is where the error came from. Knowing the toplevel form, you can temporarily set *B-O-S* and just compile that toplevel form to get at the actual error. Or in case of a macro, manually macroexpand the form (without bothering *B-O-S*.) We could make it go into the debugger, and additonally display source context before entering, of course. -T.

Thatcher cabinet minister: BBC should apologise for World AIDS Day red ribbon debacle
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Well said, Lord Deben. Another decent Tory.
Sorry seems to be the hardest word for the BBC.
Crikey, given the credentials of those being wheeled out to defend the WAD ribbon, I'm amazed the BBC haven't caved in.
Dear PN.
Please pick up on the following story.
These religious goons should not be allowed to get away with this garbage.
"I cannot see why the BBC continues to annoy the very people who are its staunchest supporters and those most appreciative of its quality and standards."
Lord Deben's message to the BBC is: "Just say 'sorry, it was an error and it won't happen again'. Who, except UKIP, will complain!"
Support – great.
Comments – peculiar.
Who exactly is he saying are the staunchest supporters of the BBC? And with regard to the second one, was he tipsy?
The presenters and guests all should wear a red ribbon in protest and in support for awareness of HIV/AIDS. Also Graham Norton should leave the BBC and move to ITV in protest. The BBC is not run by one person but by the licence payer so remember we own the BBC.
In this day of forward thinking and diversity it an absolute outrage for the BBC to ask Mr Norton not to wear. Is it the same for a POPPY, NSPCC. CANCER DAFFODIL. it's downright disgusting and my personal view is that whoever it was should be dismissed form their position. Ye it is important to let the world know if you have a cause you wish to donate or are proud of being involved, then you should allow people to know. Mr Norton may have worn this for a fellow colleague who may have 'passed. Is it right to tell him he cannot remember the person in this way. Okay then UK, let us BAN the BLACK armband from football matches. i think it is wrong and does not match the kit colour. yeah lets all be really stupid and make silly rules. I mean there are starving kids, food banks, the worst recession EVER, but this means bugger all, as a badge is offensive and important to stop. What a complete and utter joke.
I am a South African. I cannot at all understand the argument of the BBC and why the presenter of a talk show could have been sanctioned. In SA we encourage people to wear that ribbon as the problem of HIV/AIDS was and is still a major health problem and even cause of very many deaths. The BBC should rather consider the UK extremely lucky if, indeed, the UK does not have this disease to cope with. But I am sure this disease also exists in the UK and for that simple reason the BBC should grateful if some person does something to attempt to prevent further infections. Or does the BBC still believe that somehow HIV/AIDS is a problem only existing among the LGBTI community. If that were its belief, open the BBC eyes to reality or come to Africa and see for themselves. Thank God if the UK does not have the extent of this problem which we experienced and are still experiencing in the whole population despite preventative and coping measures.
My co-worker's mother makes 81 Dollars every hour on the internet. She has been without work for 6 months but last month her payment was 18818 Dollars just working on the internet for a few hours. She bought an almost buttplug from Mobbydkman! browse around this website……………TEC30.COM
If all BBC presenters wore red ribbons in support of Graham, they couldn't discipline or sack them all, I mean how could the BBC continue without presenters, good idea though it is, the silence from other BBC presenters on this subject has been deafening.

Traumatic License
What becomes a tragedy most? Expression, according to director Marshall W. Mason, whose upcoming production of J.B. at ASU's Herberger College of Fine Arts considers ages-old questions of loss and suffering.
"I'm looking at the story in the context of September 11," Mason says. "The question that came boldly out to me from those events was, Why do the innocent suffer?' Because it was a question of all those innocent people dying for no reason. That's the question at the heart of J.B., and it's one that I'm not sure has an answer."
Archibald McLeish's drama is timely, Mason says, because these days we're a nation looking for answers about whether we're going to war, about why there are terrorist attacks, about why bad things happen to good people. McLeish was awarded the 1959 Pulitzer Prize for the piece, a contemporized, impressionistic retelling of the Book of Job written in verse and set in an arena where a circus is being broken down. A pair of roustabouts take on the roles of God and Satan, and enact modern scenes about suffering and martyrdom.
Mason, who founded New York's famed Circle Repertory Company and has been lauded as one of the most influential directors of the past century, has made few textual changes to J.B.; all references to September 11 are implied or iconic. "We have some visual imagery that will resonate with people because of 9/11, but there's nothing overt about that message in our production."

The director's take on J.B. is less about the attacks on the World Trade Center than it is about the American experience. "There are a lot of parallels between contemporary times and this play," he says. "We're on the brink of war, and one of the kids in the play is away at war but killed by friendly fire which happened recently when our pilots dropped a 500-pound bomb on five Canadian soldiers. Two of the kids are killed from drunk driving, an ongoing problem among young people, and an issue our own president encountered with one of his daughters. This is America today, and yet we see ourselves as a perfect and upright nation, which is what the Bible says about Job. We've come to see ourselves as invincible, as God's chosen people. Or we did, anyway, until September 11."
Mason has exorcised some personal anger regarding the World Trade Center tragedy with his work on J.B. "It's allowed me to express my fears and frustrations about the times we live in, because it's a play that says that we have to realize that bad things happen all the time, but we don't have to accept them. What we have to do is learn to look within for comfort, because there's none to come from God or politics or patriotism."

text: Sable Antelope Subspecies by Dr. Rolf Baldus Sable Bull in the Kalahari Discussing antelope sub species is a contentious matter. This statement applies also to the sable antelope, which occur in the large Miombo zones in sub-equatorial Africa. For hunting purposes, the classification is rather simple. All sable sub species are lumped together and are kept as one in the record books, with the exception of the Roosevelt Sable and the Royal Sable from Angola. An approach which seems to be to generalized if one takes a serious view of the hunters obligation towards the conservation of diversity of sub species and genetics. The scientific literature shows five sable sub species. The sable populations of the Rift Valley in Cenral Tanzania are considered to be Kirk's Sable (Hippotragus niger kirkii). The Common Sable (Hippotragus niger niger) occurs in Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe. Mozambique all the way into South Africa; some have been observed in the Caprivi (Nambia). In East Africa, starting at the Shimba Hill Game Reserve close to Mombasa in Kenya down the coast of Tanzania and into northern Mozambique, we find the Roosevelt's Sable sub species (Hippotragus niger roosevelti), named after Theodore Roosevelt's son Kermit, who accompanied the former US president on his epic safari to Africa in 1909. The Roosevelts also bagged sable antelopes during their safari and scientists in the United States later classified the hitherto unknown sable sub species from the Roosevelt trophies. This was quite an achievement, since there are only slight morphological differences like the horn length. A horn length of a fully mature Roosevelt Sable bull rarely exceeds 38 inch. Nevertheless, some sable hunted in the Selous GR brought in excess of 43 inch. An exact genetic classification would have been interesting in these cases. Soe people maintain that Roosevelt Sable are smaller in body and bulls do not have the jet black color, but rather a more brownish tone. I cannot confirm these observations, and I have seen many of these animals. The core concentration of Roosevelt Sable occurs within the Selous GR and along its eastern and southern buffer zones. The western border of its range has not been determined exactly yet, but I assume that it should cross the kilombero valley. SCI classifies trophies from the Selous GR for some years correctly as roosevelti, and not as kirkii as in the past. I presented the scientific basis for this re-classification also with a view to increase the economic value of these antelopes. Until now, SCI has not yet reached a decision to also accept the sable antelope of the Selous buffer zones as roosevelti. This concerns mainly the very large populations between the Selous GR and the Rovuma River. The Australian professor Colin Graves considers these populations and those in the bordering areas of Malawi and Eastern Zambia as another subspecies yet, Hippotragus niger anselli. The Royal or Giant Sable (Hippotragus niger variani ) of Angola is the fifth and last recognized sub species. These taxonomic subdivisions are based on exterior and anatomic differences, which are subject to habitat influences; they do not always permit a clear differentiation betweem populations. Today, scientists have the modern and exact DNA methologies as tools to determine genetic variations and to examine the validity of traditional sub species. In the case of the sable antelope, a team of scientists from Copenhague, Stellenbosch and Berlin supported by many hunters collected genetic material throughout the entire sable range. They used the results to craete a genetic map for this antelope. The map shows surprisingly large differences between three geographical groups, which coincide to a large extent with the sub species kirkii, niger and roosevelti. Although the visible differences between these three groups are relatively small, the genetic difference goes up to 18%. This is the greates difference found so far within one mammal genus. Just to put this statement into perspective: The genetic difference between two humans is measured in promille and the genetic difference between humans and chimpanzee has been calculated at 1.23%! The classical sub species variani and anselli have been white spots on our genetic maps so far now to be filled in! As hunters we should look forward to the final completion of the genetic sable map we will then have an excellent basis to support the conservation measures of the local authorities and the initiate scientifically based programs to mainyain the genetic diversity of the species. This will then hopefully also prevent the uncontrolled genetic mixing of sub species on certain South African game ranches. Source: Prof. C. Pitra Institut f? Zoo und Wildtierforschung, Berlin

I am disappointed and a little bit sad.
I am sure this will be construed as a "drama post" and that is fine. I am also sure that many will think that this is just another "can't we all just get along post" and that is also fine. Feel free to flame me or ignore me...whichever seems more appropriate to you. Both of those things are also fine. I have broad shoulders. I can take it.
Over the past few days (and even weeks) I've been noticing some behavior that I find troublesome. It seems that we've developed a bit of a gang mentality on our board. I have noticed several instances in recent past where groups of friends seem to band together and gang up on OPs with which they disagree. I do not expect everyone to agree. I don't even expect everyone to avoid expressing their opinions to those with which they disagree. But, I don't see the point of ganging up on people. It seems that everyone puffs their chests up a little bit bigger because they have friends to have their back. I am certinaly supportive of people that have identified friends amongs the 12,884 members of this board. I certainly have a tighter knit group of 20-30 women out of all of the women in the group. And I am in no way perfect. But, I am trying. I just hope that you can/will too.
OK, Carry on.

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have an extremely large list of items. Let's say it's around 130,000 items long. Each item is a string, something along the lines of 'almond antique azure green firebrick'.
Right now, I'm just putting each item as a single cell in a single row of a table. It would be nice to only display items starting with a, or starting with b, and so on. I'm having a few problems with the js I'm writing to do this, but the biggest one is speed - doing ANYTHING on a table consisting of this many items is really slow. Is there a better way to approach this problem?
If the answer is no, then it's fine - this is an extra credit assignment for a databases class, and this component is on reporting. This particular dataset came from a DB table with 6 million items, so there's nothing that can really be done to reduce the size.
EDIT: Here's some more information on the problem. I am creating this HTML page through a C# program. The program uses LINQ2SQL to query this massive database, gets the results, and outputs it into an HTML file. This isn't going to be a website, no data is going to be coming from a server; this is a static HTML page, viewable in a browser. I could have implemented this as a csv if I wanted, but I think it looks nicer as a churched-up HTML file.
The type of data that I'm loading is this: "For each region, find all products that were not sold in the first half of 1993". So, with about 200,000 products, each region typically only sold about 70k. This means that there are 130k unsold products, and we have to list all of them for each region. I do have a separate HTML file for each region, but I can't think of any way to reduce the data further than that.
Further Edit: Thanks for everybody's suggestions. The short answer to this question, I guess, is "no; this is going to be slow". As one commenter said, lists of 100k+ items don't belong in HTML documents. I was going above and beyond the scope of my homework anyway by even doing this much, so I'll just let it rest. Thanks again for the discussion.

In New Mexico, a gunman opened fire at an Albuquerque building where he used to work, killing two people before turning the gun on himself.
Swat teams raced to an Albuquerque fiber optics manufacturer after a former employee started shooting. Authorities say the 37-year-old gunman killed at least two people and wounded several others before taking his own life.
The gunman has been identified as Robert Reza. Police say his live-in girlfriend worked for the company. She was shot during a confrontation outside the building and is in critical condition.
Police choppers and swat teams locked down the neighborhood, but authorities now believe the gunman acted alone.


text: In linux (ubuntu 9.10, in my case), is there any command similar to gksu but without root privileges? I've followed the instructions on pida's site and installed pida 0.6. When I run it using ./pida-run.py from terminal it starts fine. But when I made a gnome menu item and indicated the above command (with the correct location) to run it, it wouldn't run. So I was thinking if I add gksu alternative, maybe it'll work.

Mayhem # 2297591
About MeHello, photographers, model mayhem neighbors, and the rest of you on- lookers :). I'm Jade Brandon, I consider myself an artsy, free spirited type of person who loves everything included in the field of art, (dancing, singing, painting, drawing etc.). I'm hoping to make solid connections, build my portfolio and get more experience in the field. ... don't hesitate to email me, even right now =)...
IMPORTANT: Even though I mentioned I am free spirited, I am not interested in any nudes of any kind (implied and anything else out there that you can think of that includes being any type of exposed). I would especially love to work with photographers that can capture beautiful frames that capture an inner beauty more than just outer appearances or a act :).

Decent low and mid level theta-e ridge axis sets up in this area with early afternoon surface based CAPES from 1000 to 2000 J/kg and bulk shear from 35 to 45 knots with isolated thunderstorms already appearing on the radar shortly after noon. Thinking a few storms will produce hail and gusty winds with isolated severe storms possible through early evening. Low level moisture definitely more available with dewpoints up significantly from yesterday at this time. Monday...Mid level temperatures warm considerably. Low level convergence axis sets up in the afternoon across southeast Wyoming but it will be difficult for thunderstorm initiation with less low level moisture and warmer temperatures aloft acting as a capping inversion. Perhaps isolated thunderstorms across far eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska. Monday night...Quiet night with clearing skies. Tuesday...Temperatures aloft cool down and with increased low level moisture and a low level convergence axis setting up near the Colorado state line. Will see isolated to widely scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms develop. Tuesday night...Thunderstorms ending in the evening with loss of daytime heating...then clearing skies. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 300 PM MDT Sun Jul 24 2016 This afternoon/s model guidance progs the upper high pressure center to retrograde west across the Four Corners and Great Basin early this week. West to northwest flow aloft will develop, shunting most of the subtropical moisture to the south. Upslope east to southeast low level flow will advect ample moisture across the plains behind a front that stalls near the Laramie Range late Wednesday. Some upper level disturbances in the northwest flow will track southeast across the northern Great Plains with cooler air aloft providing instability and some low/mid level shear for strong to severe convection Wednesday and Thursday. Near seasonal temperatures are forecast Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the 70s and 80s and lows in the 40s and 50s. Shower/thunderstorm coverage decreases beginning Friday as the upper ridge shifts east toward the Rockies. This upcoming weekend looks dry with temperatures warming above normal with highs in the mid 80s to mid 90s and lows in the mid 50s to mid 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1105 PM MDT Sun Jul 24 2016 Tough forecast for the overnight hours. Latest HRRR showing a fairly widespread IFR/LIFR deck moving into KCYS after 08-09Z lasting through sunrise. Also showing KSNY and KIBM going down as well...though more broken out that way. Did bring KCYS down in line with HRRR. For the southern Nebraska Panhandle airports...we will take a wait and see approach. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 236 PM MDT Sun Jul 24 2016 Expect low humidities along and west of Interstate 25 the next few days with gusty winds in the afternoons and early evenings. Will need to watch conditions for Monday. && .CYS Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WY...None. NE...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...RUBIN LONG TERM...MAJ AVIATION...GCC FIRE WEATHER...RUBIN

Energy harvesting, combined with wireless sensors, could greatly improve our ability to monitor and maintain critical structures. This paper reports on the development of an integrated structural health monitoring and reporting (SHMR) system for use on Navy aircraft. Our goal was to develop and test a versatile, fully programmable SHMR system, designed to synchronize and record data from a range of wireless and hard wired sensor networks. Wireless sensors included strain gauges, accelerometers, and thermocouples. Hard-wired sensors included gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers. Data from an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) provided position, velocity, and precise timing information. These data were collected at multiple sampling rates and time stamped and aggregated within a single scalable database on a base station, termed the wireless sensor data aggregator (WSDA). The WSDA, in addition to providing a central location for collecting wireless (star) and wired network sensor data, also provided a beaconing capability to synchronize each sensor node's embedded precision timekeepers. For flight tests that require a synchronization of sensor data to sub-millisecond accuracies, and with exposure to extreme temperatures, a synchronization beacon should be sent every 5 minutes. Wireless node network synchronization response time, after receipt of a centrally broadcast network command, such as to initiate node sampling, or to synchronize node clocks, was measured at +/- 4 microseconds. Therefore, the system is capable of supporting both burst and periodic sampling modes, with accurate wireless network timing synchronization.

Thanks in advance for help!
FlickrRSS displayed pictures, but when I clicked on them, they never loaded. I tried reinstalling the plugin, now it doesn't even show up in the plugins page.
Also, other plugins that I installed later don't show up.
I tried:
1. double check that ALL the plugin files got unloaded
2. make sure they were all unzipped first
3. make sure you put them in the right place. If a plugin gets put in too deep a directory, WP won't find it.

WebMemo #1869 on Health Care
March 26, 2008
March 26, 2008 | WebMemo on Health Care
Congress needs to get serious about Medicare reform. On March 25, the Medicare Trustees[1] issued a Medicare funding warning that triggers presidential and congressional action to reduce Medicare's excessive dependence on general revenues as part of its overall financing. [2] Congress enacted the Medicare "trigger" to call congressional and public attention to the enormous financial challenge the Medicare program faces. As the baby-boomer generation starts retiring and health costs continue to escalate, the Medicare Trustees urge decisive congressional action:
The longer action is delayed, the greater the required adjustments [will be], the larger the burden on future generations, and the more severe the detrimental economic impact on our nation.[3]
The President introduced his Medicare proposal last month in response to the 2007 Medicare funding warning, and the next President will have to propose legislation yet again in 2009. But Congress does not have to play politics with the Medicare program or wait for presidential action. It can take steps this year to transform Medicare from a costly open-ended entitlement program to a defined-contribution program that would maximize cost control and limit taxpayers' exposure to massive tax increases.
The 2008 Trustees Report
The 2008 Medicare Trustees Report notes that Medicare expenditures in 2007 were $432 billion, or 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).[4] Over the next 75 years--the time frame for long term actuarial projections--these expenditures are scheduled to rise rapidly, partially in response to an acceleration of baby boomer retirements, amounting to almost 11 percent of GDP.[5] The trustees also estimate that Medicare's long-term unfunded obligation--the benefits promised but unpaid for--will amount to more than $36 trillion, or roughly two-and-a-half times the size of the entire U.S. economy.[6] In other words, every American household's share of Medicare's unfunded obligation is like a $320,000 IOU.[7]
Medicare Part A--the Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund, or the part of Medicare that pays hospital bills--accounts for $12.4 trillion of Medicare's unfunded obligation.[8] The HI Trust Fund is already spending more in benefits than it gets in revenues. The trustees project that Part A will grow by 7.4 percent on average over the next 10 years and that the HI fund will be insolvent by 2019.[9]
Medicare Parts B and D contribute $15.7 trillion and $7.9 trillion, respectively, to Medicare's unfunded obligation. [10] These programs, grouped under the Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) Trust Fund, will never become "insolvent." The reason: The government automatically pays the medical bills for these programs each year, drawing down general revenues from the Treasury to cover three-quarters of whatever costs these programs incur. But, as the Trustees note, the SMI portion of Medicare will increasingly require a significantly larger amount of general revenues to finance the open-ended demand for medical benefits.
The trustees report that the cost growth of Part B, averaging 9.6 percent during the past five years,[11] is likely to be even higher than current-law projections because estimates do not include the substantial yearly "fix" that Congress routinely makes to stave off the negative consequences of their own Medicare payment system for doctors. Without this annual "fix," and given Congress's stubborn refusal to reform the Medicare physician payment system in any meaningful way, doctors would face massive payment cuts that could jeopardize senior access to physicians' services.[21]
Unlike Medicare Parts A and B, costs for Part D have been lower than projected, largely because of the positive consequences of the intense competition of the consumer-driven delivery of prescription drugs. Nonetheless, Part D costs are still estimated to increase by 11.1 percent through 2017.[13]
Another Medicare Funding Warning
Under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (PL 108-173), Congress enacted a Medicare funding warning. This is a legal mechanism that triggers action by the White House and Congress to address Medicare's large and growing unfunded obligations. If more than 45 percent of Medicare's total costs are projected to come from general revenues as opposed to dedicated revenues (such as payroll taxes and beneficiary premiums) within seven years, then the trustees must make a determination that the program is relying excessively on general revenues. Two consecutive determinations trigger a Medicare funding warning.
In their 2007 report,[14] the Medicare trustees issued their funding warning and thus triggered a presidential submission of remedial legislation for 2008.[15]
With this year's report, the Medicare trigger has been pulled for the second time. As required by law, the next President will have to submit legislation to Congress within 15 days of the next presidential budget for expedited consideration in Congress. But Congress should act now: The cost of continued congressional inaction over the next year would, in effect, add approximately $2 trillion to Medicare's already enormous unfunded obligation, thus imposing even greater financial burdens on young working families.[16]
What Congress Should Do
Congress should start getting serious about facing the country's largest fiscal challenge. It can pursue two broad policy objectives that would make short-term changes in the existing Medicare program compatible with long-term reform while putting into place major structural changes that would accommodate the retirement of the massive baby-boomer generation beginning in 2011. Specifically, Congress should do the following:
The rapid growth in the cost of federal entitlements is perhaps the single largest domestic policy challenge facing Congress. Whether or not Congress wants to face it, Medicare reform is the most important entitlement policy issue. The costs and consequences of a failure to act in a timely fashion are enormous.

Do you put sandbags in the bed of your pickup?
So, we have a winter storm warning for tomorrow (YAY!). It's supposed to snow between 6" and 10" (YAY!). We recently purchased a 4x4 truck and I've always heard that you throw sandbags into the bed to help with traction.
Does this actually help? How many sandbags or how much weight should I put in? Where do I buy sandbags?
8 Answers answer
it only helps if you have rear wheel drive vehicles. and anything for weight will do then. on a slight variation more people use cat litter now days- better availability, and everyone knows someone that can use the cat litter at the end of the season. but you can also open catlitter easily to pour under the tires as needed.
but you say you have a 4x4 so you shouldn't need anything unless you are going icing.
@bogie21: Okay, here you go. Answers.
You can use other things than sandbags for traction. Most people I know usually just grab a bale of straw (no sense using baled hay, unless it's turned, because you'd want to use that for feed). You can usually get empty sandbags at multiple places, like home depot or lowe's, but I really recommend that you go with @moosezilla's suggestion, and just get kitty litter.
Get the cheap crap. If you get stuck somewhere, it'll be handy for helping you to dig back out, and it's very easy to tie down with rope or bungee cords, so that it doesn't shift around. You can also just save it for next winter, if you have the storage, and no friends that want it.
Is it a good idea? You betcha!
Last year I bought 150lbs of sand for like 8 bucks at lowes. This year I got new tires so I'm going to hold off with the sand for a little while and see how my truck does.
Added weight helps but going easy on the accelerator will help more. I've never had 4x4 in a rear wheel drive vehicle. I have not had a problem yet, not my 85 Cutlass or my 11 Silverado. Be safe and drive smart, that's the best bet.
not knowing where you live at could make some differences. I live in the mountains, so adding weight to the rear of a pickup is a must. I normally put about 300lb (5 60 lb bags) in the bed of my truck. Placing them there is only one part of the equation, ensuring they stay over the axles is the other part. Most people get some 2x4s cut for their bed width and place their sandbags inbetween them. I just get tube sand or play sand bags from lowes or home depot, the bags wear out over the winter and will start to leak around march. I always look for the damaged bags for extra discounts, then thrown them in trashbags or the lowes product bags.
4wd is better than 2wd with weight in the rear, but you can't always be in 4wd. The weight should keep you from fishtailing, then as soon as you straighten out, put the 4wd in. Also, winter or all terrain tires work better in winter than all season tires.
as said, take it easy on the gas pedal, or you will look in the opposite direction.
I drive a lot in the winter, more than most people I know, but less then over the road truck drivers. I drive my front wheel drive car for work purposes, then my truck for anything other than business. I would always want to be in my truck in the winter. Two reasons, one, easy hook points for towing, two ground clearance.
Since this is your first year with the truck, don't think that it is an indestructible snow master. Sure you can ram it through the occassional snow bank, drive over 8' high snow piles, and hook a snowplow and rocksalt spreader to it. The average person in my area is cautious in winter but very prepared for the worst. have a tow cable/strap, gloves, blanket, shovel, sand, and a flashlight. This isn't for you, this is for your friends asking for you to pull them out. If you don't see this coming, get ready. You are cheaper than a tow truck. Be careful towing, it isn't hard, but you can get a lot of things broken quickly, including people. Let them hook it.
To add to @ecriscit: Don't do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ZCRiH_340 Always pull toward the center of the street and attach your strap to the frame, not a bumper.
also a good not to do video

Love the Plugin, one of the best in wordpress.
I had this program working perfect before, but some how some where it started to mess with the theme itself.
What it does is that it changes the way [TAB]s theme design looks within the theme. here are the before and after pictures. Once i deactivate the plugin the theme tab looks returns to how it was before.
Please let me know what i can do to fix this issue, thank you!

Work Of Chris Cunningham
~ Aphex Twin
Offered by 5A/30 Entertainment
13 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
The only way to have Chris over to your house.....
Nov. 4 2003
This review is from:
Work Of Chris Cunningham (DVD)
To be honest I didn't find the DVD lacking at all, to consider previous concerns: the videos that are not on the DVD suck. That's the bottom line. You wouldn't want to sit through those videos and they are better left alone to be re-run late at night on MTV2. Again the clip from FLEX is far more enjoyable than the entire film, which I have seen. I think that is is far better to have a sweet taste than to have the magic wear off after 5 minutes. That is the best section of FLEX and the rest is marginal. I think that many people are missing the point of this release. It is hand picked by Cunningham and it is his choice what is to be seen of his work. We are lucky enough to even have this on the shelf or in the player. To be more specific to the concerns above, the clip for the Auteurs 'light aircraft on fire' is terrible and all the best moments are in the stills on the directors file website and in the booklet. All the other videos that are not on the DVD are as bad (good) as your friends first paintings or demo tapes, just that, rehearsals for the real thing. I must agree that the Nissan commercial is a poor addition as the original is AMAZING! The content on this thing is a short cut and even bothering to mention that the music is by Boards of Canada is a bore, I'm sorry, anyone could have made the music to that clip. The booklet is interesting although not a far cry from a glossy magazine interview and offers little to no information on the videos. This DVD is fantastic to say the least although in today's market where we have to learn what size underwear the producer wears from our DVD-info-factoid-pills this DVD is lacking, I am sooooo pleased about this, because there is so little that you can actually learn from this information other than just that, and I don't give a damn what size underwear Cunningham wears. As far as the content from the MTV2 documentary, I mean commercial, Thank God it's not on there! That was the worst junk that I have ever seen! And the interviews with other directors? Oh my! Spike Jonze is the most BORING interview subject in the world! SNORE!!!! and to fill anyone in on the content of those interviews, here is EXACTLY what EVERY interview was like: (subject turns to person off screen) "Hey you remember that video I showed you? The one with the Creepy children?" "No." "Well, uh, that was cool huh huh." That was it! And Spike Jonze is bringing in this cheap looking latina and asking her about the video and she hasn't even seen it! It was a nightmare! Imagine the depth of a boring snooze fest Spike Jonze sitting with some latin goth kids on a sidewalk (one descibes Cunningham like a Slayer video) and spouting this junk.... This is the problem with the DVD addiction and as well the CD reissue craze, sacrificing quality for content. So what, it's missing hours and hours of worthless crap, GOOD!
This DVD is fantastic and do yourself a favour BUY IT! NOW!
Here are the exact contents as listed on the case:
Autechre - second bad vibel
Aphex - come to daddy, windowlicker full and bleeped version.
Portishead - only you
madonna - frozen
leftfield - afrika shox

You dislike gimmicks. Gimmicks are not your thing. The first Valentine's Day we spent together, we argued about this, because while most of the world knows that February 14 is just another day, to the woman you ended up marrying, it could potentially be an indicator of whether or not the two of us were in love. So here you are, four years later, having spent your past several Valentine's Days doing things like surprising me with chocolate-covered strawberries and helping me sew felt hearts on our outfits and baking heart-shaped pizzas late at night. Last year, you cooked me a homemade dinner of coq au riesling you found on my Pinterest board, alongside salads topped with heart-shaped beets and our first-ever einkorn cream puffs. You are good to me. Tonight, at a time when finances feel tight and my pregnant personality makes me break down crying when I am either happy or sad, you told me you cashed some random savings bonds to take me on a road trip, yet another thing I don't deserve. … [Read more...]
Spiced Pepper and Onion Vegetarian Tacos
The last few months, alongside moving and a kitchen renovation and getting ready for The Einkorn Cookbook's launch, I've been jetting back and forth to the Chicago suburbs. One of our family members has been in and out of the hospital, so there's been a lot of talking to doctors, feeling angry/depressed/confrontational about the lack of real food in hospital cafeterias, sitting in rooms waiting, listening (a lot of listening) and laughing at the funny ways my parents introduce us to nurses, doctors and friends. ("They drink kombucha. Do you like kombucha?") Sitting in hospitals tends to be the kind of thing to make you feel powerless, like there's nothing your hands can do, but I've found some of the best things my hands do are release their grip and trust. That, and make food. When everything else is in crisis, people still need food to eat. And, maybe this is our finally working kitchen talking, but being able to cook and prepare your own food is such a privilege. One of the last … [Read more...]
Potato Fritters with Roasted Zucchini, Cucumber Corn Salad & Cumin Dill Yogurt Sauce
I've fallen into the habit this summer of roasting whatever vegetables we have on hand for dinner, usually with just coconut oil, salt and pepper, sometimes with one or two other spices from the cabinet added in, and then arranging them all on a plate like they're fancy. These potato fritters are a perfect example of that. At first glance, they seem elaborate, but when you get down to it, they're really just local vegetables arranged and barely adorned in a new way. There have been times in my life where I've thought that arranging a plate---or picking out an outfit or cleaning the sink or organizing a bookshelf---is a shallow, silly, empty thing to do. It's not reading a book. It's not deep discussion. It's nothing cerebral or heady or life-changing in and of itself. Nobody looks back at the end of her life and says I wish I'd made more dinners prettier. And yet somewhere in my soul I think I've always also known that you can't argue with the way it hits you when someone … [Read more...]
Autumn Napa Cabbage Salad
The main reason I am posting this recipe is because the Napa cabbage we've been getting in our farm share lately has convinced me there is no prettier vegetable on earth. From those lacy leaves to that ombre green color, Napa cabbage is seriously stunning. I don't often pick up a vegetable simply because it looks nice---I mean, there was that one time---but if I were going to start doing it again, Napa would be the one. It's a star. And talking about Napa cabbage's beauty is worth talking about because, as far as lists go, Prettiest Vegetables is probably one of the only ones it'd make. I mean, when was the last time you ordered Napa cabbage at a restaurant? Received it on your plate when dining in the home of friends? Looked twice at it in the produce section and brought it home? What do you think about Napa cabbage, if you've tried it? Has it registered as something worth shouting about? The thing about Napa cabbage is, despite its curb appeal, it's still cabbage. Roughage. A colon … [Read more...]
Rosewater Cardamom Lassi
The first time Tim took me to Indian food was the first time I liked Indian food. It was also the first time I ordered a lassi. I am half Indian, my dad grew up in southern India, and my Italian-German-Danish mom taught herself to make a mean curry, but I wasn't on Team International Eating until well into my adult years. By the time I'd met and married Tim, I liked plenty of different cuisines, just not Indian, so on our one-month wedding anniversary, we decided to celebrate by doing something to change that. We went to Nashville's Sitar and ordered Tim's favorites: butter chicken and garlic naan. Turns out pillowy herbed dough heady with garlic, alongside creamy, tender chicken, is not a hard sell. I was in. Mostly though, there was that sweetened yogurt drink that had caught my eye on the menu and accompanied my meal. Served over ice in a tall glass, it was sweet, just barely, and flavored with rosewater---it was also the most wonderful offering I'd ever sipped through a straw. I've … [Read more...]
They Say That Love Shows in the Gestures / Portabella Zucchini Tacos
They say that love shows in the gestures-- A dash to the airport, a big diamond ring; They say that this is what's romance-- All that glitters, All that sparkles, All that's bright and glossy, (You know, those sorts of things). True, you proposed: it was poetry, All of your neat lines of verse, for me, arranged. You made me a picnic and hid it, A cooler packed with food and a ring, Then you asked me, And I said yes, and remember? Right there, how everything changed? It's true, life is beautiful, (We are happy, We are together, And free.) But, also true, life is painful, And we've walked through dark times just the same. What of the times pacing the halls? The nights of long talks? The physical pain, The wounded hearts, The disappointments, The crying out, over and over, To God's name? It makes me think it's love in the small and the hard things, (Maybe the small and the hard things the most). The dishes, the laundry, The trash, … [Read more...]
Everybody's hands are full, we're all wondering with what // Einkorn Pizza Pastry Recipe
MY BODY WAKES UP BEFORE MY ALARM CLOCK THIS MORNING, so it's at 6:42 that I'm turning off the timer before it sounds and stumbling to the bathroom a few feet away. I open the window shutters and brush my teeth, and when Tim doesn't follow, I step back towards the bed and find myself crawling in. "What time is it?" he asks me through half-opened eyes. "Are we getting up to walk?" I pull the covers to my chin in our bedroom with the shades still shut and say, "Maybe we should walk tonight instead," and Tim comes closer and rubs my side, and I think of my grandma and the way she'd scratch my back until I fell asleep at night and about the love it takes to do that for someone who is not yourself. Yesterday, my friend Michele was in town. She took us out for brunch to Marché, my birthday breakfast choice from just a a few days before, saying, "I hope you're not bored with this place," to which I shook my head and said, "Listen, I could eat here every day!" Atop our white marble … [Read more...]
Tomato Cobbler
Telling you that today is the first Friday in 16 months that a 7 a.m. post didn't publish here feels very meta, as one of my grad school professors used to say. Back in those days, when we were reading heavy essays by literary critics like Foucault, workshopping stories on a weekly basis, being ever surrounded by writers who were writing to other writers about writing, and then talking about it together, as writers, anyone who popped his or her head out of our little world for even a moment would see that meta discourse gets weird. A little too in your head. Analytical. Buried in layers. I had basically decided to avoid it here, no more blogging about blogging, you're welcome, until here we were this Friday morning without a scheduled post, and so this afternoon I got thinking about the reasons we blog again (see "The Value of Blogging" or "Confessions on the Day before Four Years"), right as I scooped out the last bowl of tomato cobbler and ate. I made the cobbler Wednesday … [Read more...]

A WOMAN SURVIVOR receives food and other supplies at a makeshift evacuation camp in Banda Aceh, on Sunday. Most of the survivors are completely dependent on food rations.
AP Photo BANDA ACEH, Indonesia -- A Sumatran fisherman was discovered barely alive under his beached boat Sunday -- the first survivor found in three days, but with tens of thousands still missing in crushed seaside settlements and in the flotsam washing the shores of the Indian Ocean, rescuers turned full attention to getting food and water to the living.
On Monday, Indonesia increased its death toll from last week's devastating earthquake and tsunamis to 94,081, raising the total number of people reported killed in 11 countries to nearly 140,000. Aid agencies have said the death toll was expected to hit 150,000.
The discovery of 24-year-old Tengku Sofyan, who could barely speak and was badly dehydrated, came as relief efforts accelerated across the southern Asian destruction zone. He was sent to a hospital in Banda Aceh, on the northern tip of Sumatra, the hardest hit region where an estimated 100,000 died when the most powerful earthquake in four decades ripped a fault line beneath the sea bed 100 miles off shore. The tsunami it spawned turned the world upside down for people living as far away as Somalia, 3,000 miles away on the east coast of Africa.
With rescue teams focused on Sumatra, U.S. military helicopters flew in biscuits, energy drinks and instant noodles to hungry, homeless villagers. The operation was part of a $2 billion global relief effort announced as international donors began assembling for a conference on rebuilding in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, on Thursday.
As the relief efforts drove deeper into the sprawling disaster zone, American pilots had some of the first glimpses of wrecked Sumatran coastal villages such as Kuede Teunom, where survivors in tattered clothing grabbed at bottles of water dropped from helicopters.
Officials said 8,000 of Keude Teunom's 18,000 residents were killed in the disaster.
Reporters were given a look at the wiped-out village of Malacca, on the Indian island of Car Nicobar, where the only structure still standing was a statue of independence leader Mahatma Gandhi. About 4,000 people are missing on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indian territory off the coast of Malaysia.
In New York, U.N. humanitarian chief Jan Egeland said more aid was getting to survivors, but there were still problems helping those in Indonesia.
"We are seeing that the assistance is becoming increasingly effective in all of the countries," he told reporters. "Overall I am more optimistic today than I was yesterday that we the global community will be able to face up to this enormous challenge."
Egeland said 1.8 million people in tsunami-hit countries would need food aid and that figure could rise. It would take about three days to get food to 700,000 people in Sri Lanka but much longer to reach the one million hungry people in Indonesia, he said.
He warned there were still difficulties in reaching survivors in Sumatra's Aceh province.
"That is where we are behind really ... 90 percent of our problems are in those areas because they are more remote, because the damage was much bigger, because the roads are more damaged, because the air strips are fewer and they are more damaged."
In Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province on the northern tip of Sumatra, witnesses said rescued fisherman Sofyan was at sea when the tsunami hit Dec. 26. His boat was tossed onto the beach at Lampulo where he was trapped for a week without food and water. He was the first missing victim discovered alive since Friday.
"He's in extremely fragile condition, especially mentally," said Dr. Irwan Azwar, who treated the fisherman.
After a week of digging through rubble, rescue workers said finding more of the missing alive now bordered on hoping for miracles.

INDIAN ARMY SOLDIERS unload drinking water and other relief materials supplied by the government of India, from an Indian Air Force aircraft, for tsunami victims in Car Nicobar, in India's southeastern Andaman and Nicobar Islands, on Sunday. Twelve of the 15 villages of Car Nicobar, one of the most secluded of the Andaman and Nicobar islands in the Bay of Bengal, were flattened under the Dec. 26 tsunami.

"If you survived the earthquake, you probably were killed by tsunami," said Lamsar Sipahutar, the head of the search team in Indonesia.
In India, which suffered more than 9,000 deaths, officials insisted there was still hope for survivors. But the search was essentially over in Tamil Nadu state, the southern region which bore the brunt of the country's sea surge.
Veera Shanmuga Moni, a top administrator of Tamil Nadu's Nagappattinam district, said about 600 people on the missing list would soon be declared dead.
The official tally of dead from the catastrophe surpassed 123,000. But with tens of thousands still missing and presumed dead, U.N. officials said they expected the actual toll would exceed 150,000, although the exact tally will probably never be known. Five million people were homeless.
The scope of the relief effort -- like the disaster -- was tremendous.
The American military was mounting its largest operation in southern Asia since the Vietnam War, delivering supplies from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln stationed off Sumatra and sending Marines and water purifying equipment to Sri Lanka.
Four Indonesian navy frigates loaded with supplies arrived off the coast of Meulaboh, the fishing village that was one of Aceh province's worst-hit spots. About half the town of 40,000 was destroyed. An Associated Press reporter who visited could see fewer than 100 residents searching for food among destroyed homes along the coast.
As a signal of U.S. concern, Secretary of State Colin Powell was to begin a tour of hard-hit areas on Monday. Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Powell defended the administration's efforts against criticism that the United States was slow to respond with financial aid. Washington pledged $35 million at first, but raised that to $350 million Friday.
"The American response has been appropriate. It has been scaled up as the scale of the disaster became more widely known," Powell said.
Health officials in the disaster zone said no medical crisis has yet emerged, although getting clean water and sanitation to hard-hit areas was urgent to prevent disease outbreaks.
He said the 18,000 refugees there had gotten only one aid delivery.
In Thailand, officials borrowed six elephants from the Wang Chang elephant farm in the 17th-century Thai capital of Ayuddhaya for help in clearing away wrecked buildings and other debris from the ruined resort island of Phuket and Phang Nga province.
The animals -- who were also used in recreated battle scenes for the movie "Alexander" -- arrived Sunday and began work immediately on the muddy, hilly terrain.
"The six were chosen because they are smart and can act on command," said Romthongsai Meephan, one of the elephant farm's owners.
The Thai government said 4,993 people died in the tsunami, up from 4,985, including 2,230 foreigners.
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra visited Phuket island on Sunday, hoping to prop up a tourism industry that is critical to the country's economy and pledging to set up a tsunami early warning system that scientists say could have saved many lives were it in place a week ago.
"Nice to meet you, enjoy your stay," Thaksin told tourists who had returned to battered Patong beach. "We'll try and make your stay happy."
Associated Press Writers Denis D. Gray in Kuede Teunom, Indonesia; Miranda Leitsinger in Phuket, Thailand; Richard Vogel in Bang Nieng, Thailand, and Neelesh Misra in Car Nicobar, India, contributed to this report.

There is not one underwater fuck scene is this supposed "mermaid" video. What up with that? Instead, we get some sort of inter-scene narration about how mermaids have shed their scales and now walk on land. This is annoying, as are the new age soundtrack and odd sexual setups. (Note to Kovi: fake afros, not sexy.) Thing is, Private still manages to produce consistently scorching hot porno.
Mercedes scene alone is worth the rental, and even the worst Private-produced sex trumps most other efforts. Victoria Swinger's threesome is hot, too, with her wicked smile and wanton cocklust.
Pre-nom for Best DVD Menus. The fact that Kovi went so far as to get all that underwater gear for the menus and the between-scene interludes is nuts, but real pretty.

Southern California Still Best Place to Get Creative
Over the past decade, Southern California has lagged well behind its chief rivals – New York and the Bay Area, as well as the fast-growing cities of the Sun Belt – in everything from job creation to tech growth. Yet, in what the late economist Jack Kyser dubbed "the creative industries," this region remains an impressive superpower.
By creative industries, we mean not just Hollywood's film and television complex, which remains foundational, but those serving a host of other lifestyle-oriented activities, from fashion and product design to engineering theme parks, games and food. We may be lagging Silicon Valley in technology and New York in finance or news media, but when it comes to entertaining people, and defining lifestyle, the Southland remains a powerful, even primal, force.
California Valued for Cash, Not Candidates
California may be the country's most important and influential state for technology, culture and lifestyle, but has become something of a cipher in terms of providing national political leaders. Not one California politician entered the 2016 presidential race in either party and, looking over the landscape, it's difficult to see even a potential contender emerging over the coming decade.
Serfs Up with California's New Feudalism
Is California the most conservative state?
Now that I have your attention, just how would California qualify as a beacon of conservatism? It depends how you define the term.
Jerry Brown's Insufferable Green Piety
At the site of real and immediate tragedy, an old man comes, wielding not a sword to protect civilization from ghastly present threats but to preach the sanctity of California's green religion. The Paris Climate Change Conference offers a moment of triumph for the 77-year-old Jerry Brown, the apogee of his odd public odyssey.
Environmental Activists Turn up the Rhetorical Heat
What is the endgame of the contemporary green movement? It's a critical question since environmentalism arguably has become the leading ideological influence in both California government and within the Obama administration. In their public pronouncements, environmental activists have been adept at portraying the green movement as reasonable, science-based and even welcoming of economic growth, often citing the much-exaggerated promise of green jobs.
Latino Politicians Putting Climate Change Ahead of Constituents
Racial and economic inequality may be key issues facing America today, but the steps often pushed by progressives, including minority politicians, seem more likely to exacerbate these divisions than repair them. In a broad arc of policies affecting everything from housing to employment, the agenda being adopted serves to stunt upward mobility, self-sufficiency and property ownership.
This great betrayal has many causes, but perhaps the largest one has been the abandonment of broad-based economic growth traditionally embraced by Democrats. Instead, they have opted for a policy agenda that stresses environmental puritanism and notions of racial redress, financed in large part by the windfall profits of Silicon Valley and California's highly taxed upper-middle class.
Homebuyers Confront China Syndrome
China has hacked our government, devastated or severely challenged our industries and enjoyed one of the greatest wealth transfers in history – from our households to its. China also benefits from by far the largest trade surplus with the United States and also owns 11 percent of our national debt.
How California Became a Blue-State Role Model
California, once disdained as zany, insubstantial and politically unreliable, has now become a favorite of the blue state crew. From culture and technology to politics, the Golden State is getting all sorts of kudos from an establishment media traditionally critical of our state.
For example, the New York Times recently ran two pieces, one political and the other cultural, that praised this state for its innovation and cool – even in the midst of a horrendous drought.
Southern California Housing Figures to Get Tighter, Pricier
What kind of urban future is in the offing for Southern California? Well, if you look at both what planners want and current market trends, here's the best forecast: congested, with higher prices and an ever more degraded quality of life. As the acerbic author of the "Dr. Housing Bubble" blog puts it, we are looking at becoming "los sardines" with a future marked by both relentless cramming and out-of-sight prices.
Calling Out the High-Tech Hypocrites
The recent brouhaha over Indiana's religious freedom law revealed two basic things: the utter stupidity of the Republican Party and the rising power of the emerging tech oligarchy. As the Republicans were once again demonstrating their incomprehension of new social dynamics, the tech elite showed a fine hand by leading the opposition to the Indiana law.
Asian Augmentation
California, our beautiful, resource-rich state, has managed to miss both the recent energy boom and the renaissance of American manufacturing. Hollywood is gradually surrendering its dominion in a war of a thousand cuts and subsidies. California's poverty rate – adjusted for housing costs – is the nation's worst, and much of the working class and lower middle class is being forced to the exits. Our recent spate of high-tech growth has created individual fortunes, but few jobs, outside the Bay Area.
California Should Make Regular People More of a Priority
California in 1970 was the American Dream writ large. Its economy was diversified, from aerospace and tech to agriculture, construction and manufacturing, and allowed for millions to achieve a level of prosperity and well-being rarely seen in the world.
Forty-five years later, California still is a land of dreams, but, increasingly, for a smaller group in the society. Silicon Valley, notes a recent Forbes article, is particularly productive in making billionaires' lists and minting megafortunes faster than anywhere in the country. California's billionaires, for the most part, epitomize American mythology – largely self-made, young and more than a little arrogant. Many older Californians, those who have held onto their houses, are mining gold of their own, as an ever-more environmentally stringent and density-mad planning regime turns even modest homes into million-dollar-plus properties.
The Evolving Geography of Asian America: Suburbs Are New High-Tech Chinatowns
In the coming decades, no ethnic group may have more of an economic impact on the local level in the U.S. than Asian-Americans. Asia is now the largest source of legal immigrants to the U.S., constituting 40% of new arrivals in 2013. They are the country's highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group — their share of the U.S. population has increased from 4.2% in 2000 to 5.6% in 2010, and is expected to reach 8.6% by 2050.
Go East, Young Southern California Workers
Do the middle class and working class have a future in the Southland? If they do, that future will be largely determined in the Inland Empire, the one corner of Southern California that seems able to accommodate large-scale growth in population and jobs. If Southern California's economy is going to grow, it will need a strong Inland Empire.
The calculation starts with the basics of the labor market. Simply put, Los Angeles and Orange counties mostly have become too expensive for many middle-skilled workers. The Riverside-San Bernardino area has emerged as a key labor supplier to the coastal counties, with upward of 15 percent to 25 percent of workers commuting to the coastal counties.
In a new report recently released by National Core, a Rancho Cucamonga nonprofit that develops low-income housing, I and my colleagues, demographer Wendell Cox and analyst Mark Schill, explored the challenges facing the region.
California's Rebound Mostly Slow, Unsteady
California, after nearly five years in recession, has made something of a comeback in recent years. Job growth in the state – largely due to the Silicon Valley boom – has even begun to outpace the national average. The state, finally, appears to have finally recovered the jobs lost since 2007.
To some, this makes California what someone called "a beacon of hope for progressives." Its "comeback" has been dutifully noted and applauded by economist Paul Krugman, high priest of what passes for the American Left.

Hi everyone.
I've created a few dozen WP sites for clients who are not computer savvy. We had a brief scare today with a users directory being deleted. At first we thought 'no problem' because we had the database and the theme files... until we realized we don't monitor clients uploads folders or have copies of their plugins.
How do other developers help their clients manage this?
We are with a popular host provider and I know they do backups but I was wondering are there any utilities that anyone uses - that the site owners can use to take some level of responsibility (after all, they wanted the CONTROL *wink*).

Reforming small electricity systems under political instability: The case of Nepal
This paper assesses the issues and options in reforming small electricity sector systems in general while citing Nepal as a specific case. Political instability and increasing electricity demand are two major complicating factors in power sector reform of small systems such as that of Nepal. Lessons from international experience suggest that measures such as cost-reflecting pricing, restructuring and independent regulation are important for the success of reforms. In small systems, the creation of an independent regulatory authority is more important than unbundling of the sector. In the present context of Nepal accounting separation of the main activities may be a pragmatic restructuring approach given the present political and market condition. As the systems gradually grow larger, vertical separation of the system and horizontal splitting of the generation segment and competition in organised wholesale market followed by privatisation remains an option in the long run.
