INDONESIA'S live cattle restrictions have presented a range of other export opportunities for Australian beef producers according to one of Australia's biggest cattle exporters.
Wellard Rural Exports managing director Steve Meerwald said Indonesia will eventually just be one of many markets in South East Asia and opportunities will continue to grow for producers in northern Australia.
Mr Meerwald said he had noticed a decline in the number of boats bound for overseas ports since Indonesia had tightened their import regulations.
He said last year Wellard put 280,000 cattle in for market but this year he thinks they would send about 120,000 or 130,000 overseas, but even then, he couldn't be certain.
But he said the 350kg limit on Australian live cattle imposed by Indonesia had forced exporters to look to other markets and the model developed in Indonesia could be replicated in a whole range of South East Asian countries.
"The question raised over the last couple of years is should we be complacent about having Indonesia as our primary export market, soaking up about 70-80 per cent of our cattle?" Mr Meerwald said.
"The issue which we thought was going to go away has actually got worse, but it has presented us with opportunities for other markets and it's my belief that in the next 20 years we are going to see a lot of those markets realise their potential."
Mr Meerwald said there were also many other opportunities Wellard was exploring, such as putting cattle on ships and sending them to abattoirs in Australia.
He said once domestic issues were overcome, Wellard could take cattle from Darwin to Townsville or from Broome to Bunbury.
"At the moment, the only outlet other than those export markets is putting cattle on trucks for a couple of days and sending them a long way for slaughter, which is not the smartest thing to do," he said.
"We could do it cheaper than road transport and putting them on boats where they've got feed and water will present a much better return for everybody.
"We know we could do that well, but we've got a few issues to overcome first."
Mr Meerwald said distant markets, such as the Middle East, were also worth considering.
"We've seen a significant growth in the interest in cattle in the Middle East," he said.
"I've seen sheep meat go from somewhere between a third and 50 per cent of the value per tonne liveweight to now actually dearer than the beef market, so they are now looking at beef and the possibility of importing more beef.
"Egypt and Libya can predominately carry cattle that are in excess of 350kg, so there is definitely an outlet there."
But Mr Meerwald said due to Indonesia's rapid population rise, they will eventually have to lift their import restrictions and, "in the not too distant future", Australia will be sending more cattle over there.
"Indonesia is a market of 240 million people but they now have a political imperative that is absolutely not sustainable," he said.
"We will go through some short term pain but I have absolutely no doubt that in the not to distance future, whether it's at 350kg or a variant of that, we will have more cattle going to Indonesia," he said.
Wellard owner Mauro Balzarini was also confident the industry would continue to deliver.
"It may be tough now but we are optimistic," Mr Balzarini said.
"We are reassuring the pastoralists that we are looking at other markets and whatever can't go to Indonesia can go elsewhere.
"Indonesia is a serious situation which won't be resolved quickly; it's very political so it's hard to predict."
Mr Balzarini said everyone had to understand that there was no short term solution, but everyone was working on a solution.
"There is a limit for what we can do, but we are not giving up," he said.

Gone With The Wind
February 18, 2012 by staff
Gone With The Wind, Dar es Salaam. The family of the late Special Seats MP (Chadema), Regia Mtema, will hold an important meeting in the next few days to respond to questions that have emerged since her untimely death in January. The youthful legislator apparently had secret plans that the family knew little about. They now want to find out what they were and possibly bring some of them to fruition.
Ms Mtema died on January 14 in a freak accident in Ruvu, along the Dar es Salaam-Chalinze highway, and was buried four days later. She was 32. The family is preparing to hold special prayers for her at their Kilombero home in early March. Her father, Mr Estelatus Mtema, told The Citizen on Saturday that a clan meeting is also on the cards. The agenda will be to try to check out her plans and dreams and see whether they could take them up.
Top of the list is likely to be the fate of scores of orphans and other disadvantaged children she had taken under her wings soon after her 2010 appointment as special seats MP through the opposition Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema).
Of particular interest will be four youngsters, two boys and two girls, who were living with her at her newly-built home in the Mbezi-Makabe area of Dar es Salaam.Three of them, including one who has a baby, continue to live in the house. The other is still in hospital nursing serious injuries suffered in the accident.
In a recent interview with The Citizen on Saturday, they spoke of the pain of losing their "mother and keeper". On the day the MP died, they had been eagerly awaiting her return because she had promised to reveal her plans for them. As it turned out, she carried those secret plans to the grave.
The children are now living in fear of what the future holds without Ms Mtema, whose love and passion for the underprivileged held out the hope that they could turn their lives around.According to Mr Mtema, the family has since heard from more dependants in other parts of the country. He describes his daughter as a reserved and kind person.
Fondly referred to as Dotto, she had established Kilombero 4 Change (K4C) to help people living in difficult circumstances. "We were not aware of all these," he told The Citizen on Saturday at his residence in Tabata Chang'ombe. "It came to light during her funeral in Ifakara."
The family learnt that Regia was also taking care of 80 children in Kilombero. There were several other beneficiaries of her generosity in Bukoba. "As I told you, our late daughter was reserved and kept many things to herself," Mr Mtema said. "But I'm sure we will pick up from where she left off."
During the March meeting, the clan will deliberate on the legacies and missions of the late MP.
At the Mbezi-Makabe home, three of the "orphans"-Rogers Abdallah, 23, Augenia Kaboko, 22, and Francis Kihaule, 25-detailed how they met Ms Mtema, who took them in as complete strangers. They also recalled the memorable times spent with their benefactor and her plans for them.
When Abdallah expressed his wish to go back to school, he recalls, the MP replied that she would reveal her own plans for each of them the following day. "But it would not be, because she died a few hours later."
The young man, who met Regia in Morogoro when he volunteered as an agent during her election campaigns in 2010, says he was struck by her compassion and love for the less unfortunate. "Had I possessed the powers of nature," Abdallah says, tears welling in his eyes, "I would have prevented the MP from travelling on the fateful day. I have no one to turn to now."
Abadallah had just completed his Form Four studies when they met and was waiting for his national examination results. He did not pass but, as luck would have it, he bumped into the MP during New Year festivities. "She asked me if I wanted to go and stay with her she said she did not mind."
The night before her death, they played cards and everyone in the house was in high spirits. "If I could only turn back the hands of time," he adds, "I would have stopped her from leaving the house that morning."
He was in the accident too but escaped with minor injuries.
Rogers adds that Regia's death was a big blow not only to her family, but to the people she came into contact with. All that her beneficiaries do now is keep their fingers crossed, hoping that life will continue to be kind to them.
Abandoned by her husband, 22-year-old Kaboko had nothing other than her two-year-old son and had to resort to roaming the streets in Tabata Chang'ombe begging for alms.
Ms Kaboko met Ms Mtema when the MP was visiting her parents in Tabata. "A first glance spoke volumes of the compassion she was bestowed with," she says.
After she told her of her ordeal, the MP became sympathetic and took Ms Kaboko in. "Even when she hosted me, Regia promised to do all it would take to help me stand on my own feet," says Ms Kaboko.
She had lived with the MP since November last year and says she felt special sharing the same table with the legislator, whose demise was just too shocking to her. "Regia was a kind hearted woman," she recalls. "She was never too busy to attend to our needs and she would always sit down with us and share life lessons."
According to Ms Kaboko, the late Regia left a big vacuum in her life. "Her death has robbed us of the promise she held out to us and we will surely miss a special person that had breathed a new lease of life into us."
For Kihaule, his dream of becoming a musician may have now died with the MP. He says the MP was always ready to sacrifice her comfort for the sake of the needy. He was abandoned by relatives when his mother passed away and said he was shocked when Regia asked him to join her at Mbezi-Makabe. "She was not just like any other person and there was no politics in Regia's character," he recalls.
He met her in Kilombero and told her of his predicament and Regia agreed to support him on her return from the fateful Morogoro trip. "All our dreams have gone with the wind, we are only now counting on her family's decision I hope they will live up to Regia's legacy."

Despite its structured and somewhat linear approach, 2008's Mirror's Edge offered players a great degree of freedom, allowing them to live out their parkour fantasies without fear of injury or the need for endurance training. But it didn't sell well, so it was a welcome surprise when Catalyst was announced, in spite of rumours that it was in development.
Eight years later, the gaming landscape has changed somewhat and DICE has rejigged the Mirror's Edge formula in response. You still play as Faith, but a younger, fresh out of juvie Faith. Despite her run-in with the law, once she's back on the streets she's ready to run again and links up with some old friends and develops an instant friendly rivalry of sorts with a young up-and-comer. Of course, a job goes awry, and Faith finds herself embroiled in a fight against the city's powerful conglomerate and sees her past come back to haunt her.
The most notable change in Catalyst is the addition of an open world. Rather than being dropped at a starting point and tasked with getting to point B, players have more freedom in how they approach the game. There's a large city to explore, but this approach comes with its own pitfalls.
The open world certainly offers more choice, but more so in how you spend your time rather than your route. You're still navigating rooftops, and buildings are often too far apart for you to make the leap, resulting in familiar routes to story mode events and unlocked safe houses. The presence of safe houses is ominous in its own right; this should be a game about enjoying the traversal of the city, yet like some other open world titles, it's more of a chore after a while. So instead, you can fast travel once you've unlocked a safe house and pretend that the open world doesn't exist.
Aside from simply taking more time to move between story mode missions, the open world offers side quests, player generated and pre-made races, an endless array of collectibles, and a geocaching mode of sorts as players lay down Beat L.E. markers in obscure - or usually all-too obvious - places.
It's in the races where Mirror's Edge Catalyst is actually at its best; it's vintage Mirror's Edge, as you have to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible with a ghost snapping at your heels or leaving you in its wake. You can bookmark races you enjoyed and come back to defend your place on the leaderboard, but the seemingly endless choice of races is a blessing and a curse. While there's plenty of choice and variety, the quality varies drastically and it's less compelling to retry a race to improve your time than it would be with a more limited selection.
Otherwise the world doesn't offer that much of significance. And don't get us started on the NPCs that yell at you to take a delivery and, despite standing around for an eternity, become incredibly time conscious as soon as you take the package.
In saying that, you may find yourself wishing that the world was a little bit emptier as soon as you run into security. Combat was the weakest part of the original title, and despite some new tricks, things haven't improved much. One such trick is the focus shield, which you build by moving fluidly and taking down enemies. While you can run your way out of many situations, there are some combat encounters that are forced upon you. Combine enclosed spaces and the need to keep your focus shield up by moving and some of these encounters turn into a Benny Hill sketch.
Rather than looking at what made Mirror's Edge great and building upon it, Mirror's Edge Catalyst almost tries to emulate what's out there already. You've got an open world; endless collectibles and meaningless side quests - the story outlines that Faith is in debt, but too much to make up by doing these random tasks - combat; and even a skill tree, which is simply baffling. While the tree is quite shallow and limited, crucial skills such as a roll are locked off initially. It doesn't take long to unlock it, which makes it seem like the tree is there because it simply has to be rather than to serve a purpose.
When you hit your stride and you're running free, Mirror's Edge Catalyst is Mirror's Edge at its finest. But a big, vapid open world, poor combat mechanics, and other detractions means that moments like these are few and far between.

Pumpkin Rollout Cookies Revisited
Be the first to review
READY IN: 45mins
Recipe by roos4136
This recipe is an updated version of #76004 on this site. As a result of the comments on this recipe, this reworking turned out to be some of the tastiest cookies I've ever had. Recipe yield is too small!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 177.44 ml butter
- 118.29 ml sugar (preferably turbinado or demerarra)
- 29.58 ml orange zest
- 118.29 ml pumpkin
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 4.92 ml vanilla
- 591.47 ml whole wheat pastry flour
- 1.23 ml salt
- 1.23 ml nutmeg (scant)
- 2.46 ml clove (scant)
- 4.92 ml ground ginger
- 9.85 ml cinnamon
Directions See How It's Made
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Blend in flavorings: orange zest, salt, cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla.
- Incorporate yolk, then flour.
- Divide in two balls, wrap separately and chill at least 1/2 hour.
- Use cookie cutters on dough rolled 1/4 inch thick (thinner for crispy cookies, thicker for chewier).
- Bake 15 minutes at 375-degrees.
- Frost with any icing. For Haloween we used powdered sugar (maybe 3 cups? Sorry, don't know quantity) mixed with cream cheese (2 Tablespoons) flavored with orange zest (1/2 teaspoon) and maple syrup (1/4 cup). Add milk to moisten to proper consistency (just add by the dropful; a little goes a long way and you want the resulting icing thick enough not to run off the cookies). Apply sprinkles to wet frosting so they harden on top.

You know you should exercise regularly to improve your physical health and emotional well-being. But you're too busy. You need to find the right regimen. It will be easier when the kids are in school. Or when they're out of school. The list goes on and on.
Many IT organizations approach IT service management (ITSM) in a similar manner. They know ITSM provides a foundation for improving existing services and reducing costs by standardizing processes such as incident management, change control and asset management. But most IT organizations are already overcommitted and under-resourced. Absent an infrastructure crisis, they will defer ITSM until the budget gets bigger or "things get better." (When will that happen?)

Webber first TV ad targets Martinez's connection to Koch Brothers
May 7th, 2014 | 1 Comment
Alan Webber is airing its first TV ad ahead of the June 3 according to his campaign.
The ad continues a trend in the Democratic primary — that of not talking about any of the other Democratic candidates and instead focusing on Susana Martinez.
Webber criticizes Martinez and attempts to tie Martinez to the Koch Brothers.
"The Martinez administration's rigid devotion to the right-wing agenda of the billionaire Koch brothers is bad for New Mexico," Webber said in a statement while announcing the ad. "We need a Governor who will focus on creating the jobs New Mexicans need and the schools our children deserve."
The ad also mentions that Webber agrees with raising the minimum wage.
The ad will air on broadcast and cable starting today and will air through May 20, according to his campaign.
While the Charles and David Koch aren't well-known, those who do know the name, especially Democrats, tend to have a negative opinion of them. The two are billionaires who fund a variety of conservative and libertarian causes.
Webber is the second Democrat to put an ad on the air ahead of the primary. Lawrence Rael already has an ad on the air.
Webber has already aired a radio ad, which was also critical of Martinez. That ad targeted Martinez over audio leaked to Mother Jones magazine, a politically liberal magazine, from a debate prep session in 2010.
Martinez, who has no opponents in the Republican primary, has already aired two ads. Both were positive spots.
The transcript of the ad:
Webber: The Koch brothers choppered into New Mexico just like this. Out of state billionaires looking to spread their radical agenda here. Susana Martinez may take orders from them. I never will.
I'm Alan Webber. I'll invest in early childhood education. End tax breaks to out of state corporations. And up the minimum wage so folks can actually live on it.
Those are my ideas. I want to hear yours. Because it's time we had a Governor who listened to you, not them.
Martinez spokesman Chris Sanchez:
"Alan Webber's bizarre attack against Governor Martinez lacks any credibility — particularly since he's taken a greater percentage of out-of-state contributions than any other candidate, and it's even stranger that he would attack out-of-state millionaires when he himself is an out-of-state millionaire who is completely out of touch with New Mexicans. All New Mexicans will need to know about Alan Webber's extremism is that he called for $4.50 per gallon mandatory minimum gas prices to force people to drive green cars."

Lens Lust: The Phases
One thing about owning a camera whose nature changes when you change lenses — you start looking at a lot of lenses and imagining what you could do with them. Lens lust is perfectly human and even healthy. A few years ago I really started to appreciate what you might call extreme lenses, the lenses that push the boundaries of what is possible.
I even bought one kinda-extreme lens, and I still covet that lens's even more extreme little brother, a lens made by Canon that cannot be matched on other SLRs because of physics. (The hole on the front of modern Canon cameras is larger, and the size of the hole is one of the things that limits what a lens attached to it can do.) I will own that lens one day.
But after a while, you've seen all the great lenses. You've appreciated the Noctilux and the latest Zeiss offerings, and you've seen that less-than-ten-made gigantic-yet-fast telephoto selling for the price of a modest home. (The perfect portrait lens, if you can get half a mile from your subject.)
Window shopping is about surprise, about finding something new and delightful, and people simply aren't designing new crazy-extreme lenses fast enough. So now when I go hunting for over-the-top, cost-no-object glass, my response is "oh yeah, that one." That doesn't mean I might not linger over the specs, but it's like I'm re-reading a favorite novel.
Then there is the magical day when you discover a whole new category of lenses to lust after. And this time around, a lot of them are pretty cheap. Welcome to the world of vintage glass. If you don't mind undertaking the chore of focussing the camera yourself, a whole new world unfolds.
Although I assume technology has changed the way lens makers go about their craft, Zeiss lenses have been very good for a very long time. Others have been trying to knock Zeiss off their pedestal for a long time as well. Pentax made a serious run at Zeiss and produced some optically excellent lenses with superb build quality, and these days you can find those lenses cheap. And while shopping you can appreciate that the radioactive 8-element 50mm (it has thorium in one lens element) is not as good as the 7-element design that followed, with its expensive-to-manufacture curved interface between two glued elements, but that the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar is maybe a little better than the SMC Tacumar that followed. I expect that I'll have a Pentax in the barn before too much longer.
And then there's Zeiss itself. It was in the wrong half of Germany and at the end of World War Two and the whole damn factory, engineers and all, was carted off to Mother Russia. Some say quality degraded over time, but you can find some very cheap Russian lenses that are actually improvements on the Zeiss designs — improvements made by the Zeiss people themselves.
Which is all to say when you open yourself to vintage glass, not only do you find some pretty spectacular deals, you find some pretty cool stories as well. Learning the histories of some of the seminal lenses in photography is a special lens-lust bonus.
But while they're not making enough crazy-extreme new lenses, they are by definition not making any more historically-iconic or secret old-school super-bargain lenses. Lately, when I've popped over to eBay to type in sexy lens phrases, I see the same list I always do. My fantasy wish list is becoming more stable; there are no new surprises as some oddball piece of glass hits me from out of the blue. I think there are still some discoveries in the vintage realm; some of the "vintage" lenses I drool over have performance comparable to modern lenses, but farther back in time (and cheaper yet) there are lenses that give a different feel to the photos. I picked up one Russian 50mm for pretty much free that falls into that category, and I will be doing a series of self-portraits with it in the near future.
But finding those lenses doesn't provide the same visceral rush. You're not really looking for the gems, the designs that were ahead of their time, you're just choosing out of a bucket because what you want is the "bucket" look.
Are there new horizons? New categories of lenses I haven't discovered yet, that I can drool over and study to learn their nuances? I hope so. There is the category "new lenses that act like old lenses", discussed under the banner "lomography", and while some of them are funky, I haven't found any compelling reason not to just use an old lens instead. In fact, most of lomography is about using crappy old Holgas, pinholes, and plastic lenses, but if you really insist on spending money you can find a funky brass-bodied lens with apertures you slip in through a slot on the side. So… actually, it looks like I've already worked that vein dry.
I suppose it's a sign of maturity, when you've taken a passion to where there are no more surprises, but it's also an indication of why maturity sucks. I guess now I should spend more of my time looking at photographs, rather than lenses. After all, that's how you become a better photographer. But I'm also an engineer, and I'm unapologetic for my fascination with this interface between art and engineering.
And I'm thinking that lens designers need to get off their lazy asses and make more wacky stuff.
Another Reason Mexican Television is Awesome
I'm in a local cantina and on the TV there's some sort of quiz show happening. When the contestants get the answer wrong they get a pie in the face. When they get it right, they get a generous shot of tequila.
"Tequila!" the teammates of the most recent correct answer shouted in unison. Good times.
It Feels Different this Year
I'm a hockey fan, and if you insist that I be more specific I will tell you that I'm a fan of the local NHL franchise, the San Jose Sharks. Almost every year this team makes it to the playoffs. Almost every year they exit early.
Which is mostly just math. Half the teams in the playoffs are eliminated in the first round. By the end of the second round, only four remain. So MOST of the teams that make the playoffs go home early. But you do that too many years in a row, you get a reputation. Even if you go home because of a bizarre bounce in an overtime that shouldn't have happened except the ref blew a call with 33 seconds to go in regulation.
Right now San Jose is skating agains St. Louis in a titan battle of saints in which God must be careful not to take sides. Like Joseph, Louis has earned a reputation for early exits. One of the two will reach the finals.
Three games in, it's pretty easy to see that my team is the better of the two. Nashville took it to San Jose a couple of times in the previous round, but the Sharks answered by playing really good hockey. That good hockey has carried into the semifinal round with the Blues.
The Blues deserve to be here. They are a very good team, and they beat powerhouse Dallas fair and square. They beat the Stars by beating on them, and getting under their skin, and making Dallas do stupid things. They came out against the Sharks with the same strategy — and it failed utterly. A dude friggin' pulled Joe Thornton's beard and the Sharks laughed it off and scored on the power play. The Sharks, under the leadership of captain Joe Pavelski, just don't take the bait.
Last game, Newt Gingrich Ken Hitchcock pulled his bullies and agitators and tried to match the Sharks with speed and skill. For a while, it seemed to be working. But nobody plays Sharks hockey better than the Sharks do.
And there's the thing. Some time around the start of 2016 Joe Thornton started backchecking with energy and the rest of the team stepped up and Burns stopped making stupidly overoptimistic passes and it feels different this year. This isn't a team getting by, it's a team offering both an unstoppable offense and a disciplined defense (3 shutouts in the last 4 playoff games) and exposing no weaknesses to exploit. A team like that can laugh when an agitator on the other side tries to lure them into mistakes. Even people on the East Coast are waking up to what a good team this is.
It feels different this year. The Sharks aren't looking for answers, they aren't looking for the weakness of the other team. They're playing their game, and they're doing it well. It's up to their opponents to solve the Sharks, and so far none has. Man, it's been fun to watch.
It's sports, and anything can happen. I felt confident two years ago when the Sharks went up 3-0 on the Kings only to choke away the playoffs. But this year the Sharks handled the Kings pretty easily, and while Nashville gave them a run for their money the way the Sharks emerged from that series has carried over.
What's different this year? Maybe the most important thing is the C on Pavelski's sweater. But don't forget Wardo, and Donkey, and Jones. Don't forget old man Zubrus making the fourth line a disciplined unit and a legitimate threat. Hertl's lovely slap shot to open the scoring last night is now a rarity; under the new management the Czech kid is expected to be a complete player, not just a sniper but a stout defender and a guy willing to mix it up down near the goal. He has embraced the role and thrives on the chaos around the net. "Now I go to net, get rebound and score. Is better."
The team knows: this is their chance. The older players, Thornton and Marleau in particular, know that time is running out, and this year they're playing like their legacies are on the line. The new kids are hungry, and skilled, but they are inheriting discipline from the old-timers. It really is a joy to watch. At this time they are still six wins from their first championship, but no matter what happens I thank the Sharks for making it different this year.
An Open Letter to the Drivers Sharing the Road with Me on my Ride Home
Let's start with the guy driving the faded red pickup truck, tires caked with mud, a skull wearing a german helmet adorning the back window, mariachi music blasting into the heavy traffic. You know who you are.
Thank you.
You went out of your way to make my journey home safer — not once, but twice, protecting me not only from yourself but from other assholes as well. The world needs more folks like you.
As for the minivan driver and the woman driving the beat-up sedan, I'd like to thank you as well. Also the woman who waved me through the four-way stop.
Toward the end of my ride I realized how out of shape I was when I started hallucinating. I could have sworn the guy who slowed down way before he needed to, specifically to give me a safe space to pass a moving van parked in the bike lane some distance ahead, and who leaned over to make eye contact with me and wave me ahead, a kind and courteous gentleman, was driving a big, shiny, new BMW.
But that's just not possible, is it?
Still, hallucinations aside, it was a good ride home, and I'd like to thank all the courteous drivers out there who made it happen. I hope to see you all again soon.
wp-cli, Where have you been all my life?
WordPress updates can be pretty insecure. FTP was invented back before there was an Internet, and when when no one thought that bad people might be on the same network you're using (why even have a password if you let everyone see it?). Ah, for those naïve and simple times!
Yet even today most of the Web-site-in-a-box products you can get to run on your GoDaddy account use FTP. I control my own server, and you can bet your boots that FTP is turned right the hell off.
It can be a hassle setting WordPress up to allow its update features to work in a very secure fashion, however. I was wrangling rsa certificates when I ran across another solution: rather than push a button on a web page to run an update, log into the server and run a command there. Simple, effective, secure, without file permission fiddling and authorized_keys files.
wp-cli does way more than updates, too. It is a tool I've been pining for for a long time, without even knowing it. Want to install a plugin?
wp plugin install "xyz" and you're done. Back up the ol' database? They have you covered. Welcome to my tool belt, wp-cli!
If you're not afraid to type three commands to update your site, rather than trying to maintain a hole in your security in such a way that only you can use it, then this is a great option for you. Check it out at wp-cli.org.
