I'm having problems in understanding the following sentence:
"Nicholas Woodsworth takes issue with Rumpole of the Baley and clears the Costa Brava of being over-run by the English criminal cases".
I know that Rupole of the Baley is a character from an English series (a barrister). I've seen in the dictionary that the meaning of "takes issue with" is "disagree". But I can't understand the sentence yet. Would someone help me?

After the upgrade to 10.8.0, whenever I do a
sudo, I always get this message:
dyld: DYLD_ environment variables being ignored because main executable (/usr/bin/sudo) is setuid or setgid
I have checked my
.zshrc all I could think of, and I don't see anything related to the
DYLD_ environment.
After googling for hours, I tried to put these two lines in my
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
But the annoying message still appears.
I go to a guest account and did a
sudo but didnt' get this message. So I guess I have some custom library installed... But I don't know how to debug this.

Our sweet girl woke up May 22nd a 5 year old. With turning 5 she made a lot of really important decisions. She wanted shoes that tied so she could learn. She asked to take the training wheels off of her bike (and she has actually ridden it w/ no training wheels too!). She said she was going to quite sucking her thumb and she has shown a strong effort with that too. She said she no longer wanted to wear a pull up at night, and has had 2 successful nights! Our girl is growing up! She graduates pre-school today. She is thrilled to be going to kindergarten. She loves to go by her new school. I can't promise a tearless night tonight. She makes my heart swell. I mean I can feel it literally swell! She is so full of innocence and I am terrified. I know she is surrounded by people who love her and build her up. I know God is watching out for her all of her days but I still worry. What would be a mother without worry!
I love you BellaRose. You are my precious child and such a good good person! Thank you for being exactly who you are. I am sorry if my words are not always filled with love because you deserve nothing less. You made me a mother and I am learning as much as you are. My heart if forever yours!

As from 1 July 2004 the filing fees in our Courts have increased a great deal. We believe they are far too high. The schedules you can access through the links below may not have yet been changed by the Ministry. The cost of filing proceedings in the High Court has increased from $900 to $1100 but there are much higher increases in other areas.
The cost of filing a set of proceedings in the District Court has jumped from $60 to $140.
We will update the schedules as the new information comes to hand.
Below is a schedule of the filing fees necessary to pay whenever you file a document in the Court.
[Effective from 1 July 2004]
This notice is intended as a guide only, if uncertain you should refer to the relevant statutes and regulations.
Fees can only be waived upon application [Fee waiver application] on one of two grounds only. These are either:
· Payment of the fee would cause undue financial hardship [Reg. 6 (3) High Court Fees Regs. 2001]; or
· The proceeding is intended to determine a question of law that is of significant public interest [Reg. 6 (4) High Court Fees Regs. 20 .....The first part of this topic has been displayed free of charge. Join up for $45 to have access to this and all other topics!

Not really a fair cop — read Morgen's post yesterday for essential context — but the White House wants to push both the "Romney is more conservative than Barry Goldwater" message and the "Romney stands for nothing" message this fall, no matter how incoherent that might be. So here's O taking an easy shot at the latter.
Asked about Romney's comments from earlier this morning belittling how difficult the decision to go after bin Laden may have been, the president said "As far as my personal role and what other folks would do, I'd just recommend that everybody take a look at people's previous statements in terms of whether they thought it was appropriate to go into Pakistan and take out bin Laden. I assume that people meant what they said when they said it. That's been at least my practice."
The president was alluding to Romney's 2007 comments about bin Laden that "it's not worth moving heaven and earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person." The Obama campaign last Friday released a web ad suggestion that this sentence suggests he would not have been willing to take the risk and order Navy SEALs to cross into Pakistan and infiltrate bin Laden's Abbotabad compound…
The Romney campaign argues that his 2007 comments about "not moving heaven and earth" to get bin Laden are being unfairly twisted by the president, that the full context indicates that he was saying the war against the extremist Islamist movement was bigger than just one man – not that he wouldn't go after that one man. According to the Associated Press's Liz Sidoti, Romney said capturing bin Laden would made the U.S. safer by only "a small percentage" resulting in "a very insignificant increase in safety" since someone else would take bin Laden's place. Romney supported a broader strategy against.
I explained in the last post why Romney (and Jimmy Carter) would have given the order to go grab Bin Laden given the state of Pakistani treachery circa 2011, so go read that if you haven't. All I'll add here is that I'm surprised Obama's passing on an opportunity to tout his broader record on counterterrorism for a cheap knock on Romney the flip-flopper. Romney's point in context is that the war on terror is bigger than one man. Indeed, O could say, which is why over the past four years he's ramped up drone strikes in Pakistan, resulting in the near-collapse of "core Al Qaeda." WaPo reported within the past week that not only has the drone campaign been extended to Yemen, Obama's given Petraeus and the CIA authority to fire without first confirming the identity of whom they're firing at. Why forfeit an excuse to talk about all that? "Bin Laden week" at the White House should be an occasion to tout broader progress against AQ, not syrupy reminiscences about who said what to whom in the situation room once they got the news about "Geronimo." By making it purely about OBL, he's risking minimizing his own accomplishment in the minds of low-information voters.
Exit question via the Washington Free Beacon's Andrew Stiles: When O says "I assume that people meant what they said when they said it," does that also apply to the various nonsense he spouted on the trail in 2008? Opposing the mandate, ridding his administration of lobbyists, civilian trials for terrorists, etc etc. Back before he tore up the War Powers Act, he was a pretty peace-minded guy, you know. See Peter Kirsanow's post at the Corner for more examples.
Update: Lefty Josh Marshall says the White House chatter about Bin Laden is less a matter of politics than meta-politics:
But as I first argued back in 2004, national political campaigns are only loosely about 'issues' as news obsessives construe them. Contemporary American campaigns are much more meta-battles over power, masculinity and dominance, what I once called "bitch-slap politics." Not pretty perhaps but you'll never understand campaigns without understanding things through this prism. And that's very much what's happening with the Obama campaign's latest fusillade against Mitt Romney. This isn't simply – maybe not even mainly — about the actual decision to risk so much to kill bin Laden. It's a dance to – let's not run away from what it really is – unman Romney in his contest with the president.
People don't expect Democrats to make such brash moves on national security politics. It's been a very long time since a Democratic president has been in a position to do it. Its aforementioned obviousness aside, it's garnered a collective gasp from the pundit class. It was a smack right across the face of Mitt Romney right as he's making a reasonably successful reintroduction of himself to the American people.

Hello, Vaedoris:
Yes, you are 100% correct! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Most speakers here in the States have thrown in the towel! That is, they now consider "It is me" to be correct. When I say
"most speakers," I include those very well-educated people who give advice on "good" English!
As they say, language is a very democratic matter. The people really do rule. I understand, for example, that some countries
have passed laws limiting the number of English words that are allowed. Of course, the people simply ignore the laws and use
English words that please them.
I am an old man, so I continue to follow the rule: "It is I." But most people say "It is me" because (a) they do not want
people to think that they are "putting on airs" (= I am better educated than you) or (b) they actually think that using "me"
is correct!
And even when "It is I" was considered correct and used by some people, it was often a social hazard. Could you imagine
what a tough, macho (American) football player would sound like if he said, "It is I"! Why, people would whisper that he
must be a sissy.
A few people want to use "It is I," but social pressure is too strong for them to resist. For example, this very old man has
the courage to say "It is I," but even I do not have the courage to say/write: "Everyone must bring his book." I, too, have
fallen in line and mouth the horrible: bring their book/ his or her book. I am retired, but employed people would find their
jobs in jeopardy if they did not fall in line.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College men's basketball team (4-3, 1-1 PBC) put up the most points of their young season Saturday, defeating Francis Marion University (4-2, 0-1 PBC) 94-82 in the Centennial Center.
The Bobcats put five players in double figures, as every Bobcat that played reached the scoring column. Senior guard Nate Hamilton (Snellville, Ga.) led the way with 23 points, hitting five threes, his second 20-point game this season.
Junior Aaron Robinson (Lawrenceville, Ga.) had a career-high 14 points with six assists, while senior Scott Ferguson (Roswell, Ga.) nabbed a 12-point 12-rebound double-double.
Ferguson has double-digit scoring in five straight games and now owns a pair of double-dips on the season. Senior Quin Bivins (Macon, Ga.) and junior Royal Thomas (LaGrange, Ga.) chipped in with 10 points each.
Never trailing, the Bobcats started off hot, compiling a quick 7-0 lead over the first two minutes. Georgia College never looked back from there, stretching the lead out as high as 23 and keeping the advantage at double-digits from the 11:53 mark in the first half.
The potent Francis Marion offense, leading NCAA Division II in scoring at 119.2 points per game coming in, was held to 82. Reserve Storm Clonch had team-bests with 14 points and nine rebounds, aided by 13 each from Evrik Gary and Dustin Jones.
Georgia College out-shot the Patriots 57 percent (29-51) to 40 percent (32-80) from the floor, including a 50 percent (12-24) to 22 percent (7-32) from long range.
The Bobcats are back in action Friday, Dec. 28 at 5:30 p.m., kicking off the Bearcat Holiday Classic at Lander University against Lenoir-Rhyne University.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Backing Up
HTTP Loopback Connections Disabled
- Also known as Endless Ping.
- This usually happens before the second Scheduled Cron in your backup is run. You can see the number of times "Scheduled Cron" is mentioned in the Advanced Logs shown on the backup page to see if this is the case.
- If your Server Information page reports that HTTP Loopback Connections are disabled or the following occurs (see below), you need to either enable HTTP Loopback Connections or enter the WordPress Alternate Cron setting in your wp-config.php file. This is caused if your host is blocking loopback connections within their firewall. You will need to request that your host change this (this is very standard to have this available), enable the alternate cron method in your wp-config.php (as Solution below - often the only solution for those in a shared environment), or move to a new host.
- If your backup progress (as detailed in the Advanced Details area) consistently never progresses beyond this point except for the continuous "pings":
Backing up with BackupBuddy v2.1.8... 20:35:15: Setting greedy script limits. 20:35:15: Set memory limit to 256M. Previous value < 256M. 20:35:15: Finished greedy script limits. 20:35:15: Full backup mode. 20:35:15: Performing pre-backup procedures. 20:35:15: Backup serial: pyisomo736 20:35:15: Creating import data file. 20:35:15: Finished creating import data file. 20:35:15: Finished pre-backup procedures. 20:35:15: Scheduling Cron for pyisomo736. 1307910918|ping 1307910922|ping 1307910926|ping
- Solution:
- Add define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true); to your wp-config.php
- Open your wp-config.php in a text editor. This file is located in the root of your site.
- Add the line somewhere between the first ( <?php ) and last line of the file (but before the line that says /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */)
define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true);
- Deactivate all other plugins and see if it works then, if so then make sure you don't have a plugin that may apply a maintenance mode
- This is because maintenance mode plugins rarely, if ever, take into account WordPress scheduling crons
- Add define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true); to your wp-config.php

- Related threads with same/similar solutions:
Compatibility Mode
- If your server does not support command line Zip then BackupBuddy will fall back into a compatibility mode to help aid you in creating a backup. This mode is significantly slower and less reliable. It is not intended for persistent use and is provided to aid you in backing up in poor hosting environments, for instance to move to another host.
- Directory exclusion is not available in this mode. Even existing backups will be backed up, resulting in rapidly growing backup file sizes.
- If you are running on a Windows server you will need to install the Windows zip.exe executable (we do not provide support for setting this up, though the readme.txt in the file does help).
- Solutions:
- If you are running CentOS on a VPS or similar type of server then running the command
yum install zipas root will install the zip package and any dependencies. This may also apply to other environments using rpm packages and the yum package manager front-end. The yum manager can also be used to query installed packages and update packages, etc. If you have any issues with this then please consult your host support for additional assistance.
- If you are operating a Media Temple DV server then please make sure you have the Developer Tools installed as this contains the package necessary to provide zip capability.
- If your server is configured to disable access to the PHP exec() function and if you have access to configure your server then remove any blocking of the PHP exec() function in php.ini and configure permissions to allow running the Linux command line function `zip`.
- If your server is operating in safe_mode then either turn safe_mode off (if you can) or make sure that the safe_mode_exec_dir configuration parameter includes the directory which contains the `zip` command (please consult your host support for this information)
- Ask your host to enable access to the Linux command line Zip command via PHP's exec() function.
- Example message to send to your host:
- If you are running CentOS on a VPS or similar type of server then running the command
Dear Sir/Madam, I am attempting to use the highly popular WordPress backup software, BackupBuddy by PluginBuddy.com. BackupBuddy requires the ability to use the Linux command line Zip command via PHP's exec() function. BackupBuddy is reporting that it is unable to access this functionality on my server hosting environment. Please enable this functionality for me so that I may use this backup solution in combination with your hosting. These are commonly available features of many popular hosting providers such as HostGator.com so it is not unreasonable to request it nor is it a security risk IF it is properly configured. Please verify access to the following features: 1) PHP's exec() function. 2) Permission to run Linux's `zip` command. 3) The directory containing the `zip` command is included in the PATH environment variable available to the process executing the command passed to the exec() function Thank you for your time and consideration.
- Also possible that even though that zip via exec() is enable it still may not work if host does not have zip's path location currently as a part of PATH (or the path is not one of the "well known" locations that more recent versions of BackupBuddy with search). The below code is an example of how to add the directory of the zip executable to PATH after you ask your host where it is being kept and whether this is the correct way to do it on their servers or if not what is the preferred way (please note the colon that precedes the path being added):
putenv( "PATH=" . getenv( 'PATH' ) . ":directory zip exe is" );
- The line has to be added anywhere in the wp-config.php file after the first line ( <?php ) but at least before the line that says /* That's all, stop editing! Happy Blogging */
- If all of the above are either impossible or unsuccessful and you absolutely must have the native zip command capability then you only option is to move your site to an alternative server or host that provides this capability.
- Also possible that even though that zip via exec() is enable it still may not work if host does not have zip's path location currently as a part of PATH (or the path is not one of the "well known" locations that more recent versions of BackupBuddy with search). The below code is an example of how to add the directory of the zip executable to PATH after you ask your host where it is being kept and whether this is the correct way to do it on their servers or if not what is the preferred way (please note the colon that precedes the path being added):
Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /www/wp-content/plugins/backupbuddy/lib/zip/zip.php on line ###
- exec() is disabled somewhere in PHP configuration. Ask the host to correct this or use cPanel to edit PHP settings to enable it if possible. See 'Fallback to Compatibility Mode' above.
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in /www/wp-content/plugins/backupbuddy/backupbuddy.php on line 1673
Godaddy Related
- The bottom tier of Godaddy hosting services are known for not being able to complete backups within the maximum PHP runtime configured on their servers (usually 30 seconds), causing backups to fail.
- Solutions:
- Choose another quality hosting provider such as Hostgator.com (recommended)
- Upgrade to a higher tier of Godaddy hosting (not recommended as even better Godaddy servers are poor performers)
.htaccess 404 / Addhandler Warning
- Some hosts use a line at the top of the .htaccess file in the root of the site to configure some server settings such as enabling PHP support for that site. When used on a host that does not need this it can break PHP or other functionality. When migrating to a new site this can break the migration process. This often causes URLs to give 404 Not Found errors after migrating/restoring.
- Solution:
- Remove the Addhandler line from the .htaccess file before backup or open the backup ZIP archive and remove the line within the file within the ZIP.
Backup marked as bad
- Backups are verified by verifying the following criteria:
- The ZIP file is not corrupt and is openable.
- The database (.sql) file exists.
- The wp-config.php file.
- The backupbuddy_dat.php file.
- Potential causes:
- The backup timed out and did not complete within the PHP maximum runtime (usually 30 seconds)
- Solution: Reduce the backup size by deleting files or excluding one or more directories. You may use the `Server Information` page's Directory Size browser to find large directories/files.
- Your hosting account does not have enough free space available.
- You may have the backupbuddy_temp directory excluded.
- The backup timed out and did not complete within the PHP maximum runtime (usually 30 seconds)
Database backup succeeds, full fails
- This is almost exclusively due any single step of the backup process not completing within the maximum PHP runtime (usually 30 seconds).
- If you are in compatibility mode then backups are significantly slower and less likely to complete in time.
- Solution:
- Ask your host to enable command line ZIP via exec() if you are in compatibility mode.
- Reduce the size of your backups by deleting files or excluding large directories.
Directories not being excluded
- Directories are not excluded if BackupBuddy is being forced to fall into compatibility mode. This is expected behaviour. This happens if command line Zip is unavailable via the PHP exec() function.
- Solutions:
- Contact your host and ask them if they can enable command line ZIP via exec() if using Linux. For Windows servers a zip.exe file is available by downloading it from the `Getting Started` page of BackupBuddy when running on a Windows host.
- Continue using compatibility mode. If you do this you will not be able to exclude directories, including the backups directory. Because of this even backups will be backed up. We recommend not storing any backups locally in this case as your backup file sizes will increase exponentially.
Tempory files in directories/root
- BackupBuddy creates several temporary files within the directory `/wp-content/uploads/backupbuddy_temp/` while generating a backup. Some of these may remain temporarily after backups complete though most are cleaned up immeditately. BackupBuddy will automatically clean up any remaining temporary files within 12 hours. This is an automated process.
- While in compatibility mode large sites can create temporary .gz files in the site root. Sometimes these may be left behind and require manual cleanup at this time. This is uncommon and is a result of not having command line ZIP via exec() available. Ask your host to enable this.
- Solution:
- Wait ~12 hours or delete the file(s) manually.
Backups Time Out / Marked as Bad
- Backup file size is too large so it takes too many resources or too much time to finish so the process is killed.
- The maximum PHP runtime is typically 30 seconds so backups must finish within this time period.
- Try reducing backup size, excluding directories, disabling compression to speed up zip file generation, or getting host to enable native zip compression if not already enabled.
- Backup completed but backup ZIP is incomplete / bad: exec() shares the maximum allowed memory usage with PHP. If this memory limit is met the exec() / proc() will be killed and return to PHP. The symptoms of this are a bad / incomplete ZIP file despite the backup fully completing successfully. Try increasing `memory_limit` to a larger size.
Zip File Creation Dies at 2GB
- The limit of some file systems on a 32bit server can create a file is 2GB.
- Ask host to user a better file system that allows for the creation and handling of files bigger than 2GB.
- Large File Systems (LFS) don't technically have limits on how big they can support, they are designed to expand.
- Ask host to user a better file system that allows for the creation and handling of files bigger than 2GB.
Zip File Creation Dies at ~4GB
- On a 32bit server the limit for Zip Archive is about 4GB.
- Ask host to upgrade to 64bit.
- Host may be able to use better configurations or software for the server to up this while staying on 32bit though I am unsure
Remote Transfers Fail
- Login credentials are wrong. Test them to be sure that they have not changed. This is exceedingly common.
- The path entered is incorrect or the directory has not been created. BackupBuddy requires the path/bucket to already exist in some cases.
- Some hosts block outgoing connections. Try another remote destination if possible. Most remote destinations transfer over the HTTP port 80.
- Amazon S3: port 80
- Dropbox: port 80
- Rackspace Cloud: port 80
- FTP: port 21 (unless overridden)
- Email: port 25 (if using external mail server)
Scheduled Events Fail to Trigger
- The scheduled date is wrong and has not passed.
- Not enough visitors are visiting to trigger the schedule. Someone must visit any page on the WordPress site on or after the scheduled time for the event to occur. If no one visits during the time-frame then the event may be missed or occur at an unscheduled time.
- Can force a cron job to run in Cpanel by adding this line of code to a cron job if really need to:
wget -q -O - http://DOMAIN/wp-cron.php 2&>1 /dev/null
- Can force a cron job to run in Cpanel by adding this line of code to a cron job if really need to:
- The backup is failing. Test manual backups.
Files not being sent remotely
- Files may fail remote sending for two possible reasons:
- Files are too large to be transferred during the alotted PHP maximum runtime (usually 30 seconds). This is defined by your host.
- Your host's firewall is blocking outgoing HTTP connections / transfers.
- The backup itself isn't completing - verify that they work manually.
- Solutions:
- Reduce backup file size by deleting files or excluding directories.
- Contact your host to increase PHP's maximum allowed runtime.
- Contact your host to unblock their firewall to allow outgoing HTTP connections.

Backup failure running function `` in email
- Usually due to sending remote backups/databases failed due to permissions/path if ftp.
- If sending the files by email, then files are probably too large for email(typically up to 10mb by email allowed by most places)
Endless Ping on second Scheduling Cron
- Database may be too large, lot of times this would be the wp_posts table.
- See if can lower size of database. The database size may be too big for your site/host/server to handle properly.
- Use Server Info inside BackupBuddy ( BackupBuddy --> Server Info. ) to check where the most disk space is being used.
- Increase available runtime. Your server may be timing out too quickly or having other issues related to not being allowed enough time to run scripts or specific commands.
- What revision retention policy do you operate on the posts? It may be that you have a lot of revisions stored in the database that you could safely remove. The WordPress Codex gives some information on controlling revisions (http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Post_Revisions) but I don't think this acts retrospectively so you might need to find a method to prune any revisions you currently have.
- Many plugins tend to leave a lot of data behind even after they have been de-activated and deleted in WordPress. This can result in very large BackupBuddy backups.
- Example: A famous example of this is Statpress, which has been publicly known to leave massive amounts of data behind in the WordPress database tables even after the plugin was deactivated and deleted.
- Solutions:
- Use Server Info inside BackupBuddy ( BackupBuddy --> Server Info. ) to check where the most disk space is being used in different WordPress database tables.
- Another way to see if such plugins may be affecting and causing your Backup to fail is to look through the database and see where the most db space is being used. If any table with a lot of data exists and is related to a plugin you no longer use, you can drop or empty that table with something like phpMyAdmin.
- Also, if you have a "maintenance mode" plugin active, this can cause endless pinging as well. Deactivating this plugin solved the problem for some users.
- Make full Database backup with BackupBuddy before making any Database changes. :D

Fatal Error: Call to undefined function home_url()
- Full error will be Fatal Error: Call to undefined function home_url() in /wp-content/plugins/backupbuddy/classes/backup.php on line x
- BackupBuddy requires at least WordPress version 3.0, make sure you don't have an older version of WordPress.
Parse Error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in .../backupbuddy.php on line xxx
- Usually will come up during activation of BackupBuddy
- Make sure you are using PHP5 and not PHP4.
- If you are installing by downloading BackupBuddy, unzipping, and then using FTP the directory in the site plugins directory sometimes the configuration of the FTP transfer mode can cause issues. You can try deleting the existing plugin files with the plugin admin and then install through WordPress admin by going through Plugins -> Add New -> Upload -> and use the backupbuddy.zip file. Be sure to do this with a copy of backupbuddy.zip that has not been unzipped.
Backed up files link shows 404 error
- This error is shown when you click on the generated backed up files. There is no error shown on the Backup page or in the logs, yet clicking the backup links show a 404 error or result in you not being able to download them because the files don't exist. This could be caused by several things. Mainly, this has been known to be caused by the following:
- There is an Archive limit set on the BackupBuddy --> Settings page. If this is being exceeded, the extra archives will be deleted. Try setting this to something higher.
- Set the total size limit ( max file size ) to a higher setting.
- See if any other plugin may be causing the issue. Disable other plugins and try starting the backup process again.
- Make sure you have the necessary permissions to the downloads folder where the file is being saved.
- Make sure the Advanced Log file in BackupBuddy is not showing any errors. If it is, post on the forums so that the error can be looked at.
- Other threads with solutions listed above:
Change backups folder/file permissions or verify it is writable
BackupBuddy needs the backups folder in your wp-content/uploads directory on your site to be writable so that BackupBuddy can easily create and modify backup and related files in that directory. If those permissions are not setup properly, either automatically or manually, you'll run into the "Unable to create backup storage directory" or similar errors.
- To verify and change any file or folder permissions:
- Easily and quickly learn what permissions are and how to change them in the official WordPress File Permissions page
- Ask your host to verify or do it for you.
- Make sure your backups folder directory in wp-content/uploads is set to 755 (permission).
- Make sure your wp-content/uploads folder and everything under/in it is set to 755 also (called recursive permissions OR changing permissions recursively).
- Support thread with detailed info
Big backup files with both "Force Compatibility Mode" and PHP exec() function enabled
- If PHP exec() function is enabled on your server AND you have "Force Compatibility Mode" setting enabled, you may run into backup file size issues. The compatibility mode does NOT support folder exclusions, and thus your backups may be very big.
- Solution:
- If your server has PHP exec() enabled, go into BackupBuddy --> Settings and disable "Force Compatibility Mode" option.

Dropbox Backups Not Arriving
Sometimes, backups sent to Dropbox never arrive (meaning they never show up) in Dropbox.
- Possible reasons:
- Due to the Dropbox API limits, each backup file has to be loaded into your server's memory and then sent to Dropbox. Dropbox requires PHP oAuth. Because of that, your server may run out of the required memory to do other things at the same time. When your server does not have enough memory to do multiple things at once, it may take longer than usual to complete each task, and the Dropbox process may take longer than the allowed time in PHP maximum_execution_time. This will simply result in the Dropbox process to time out and cancel. Since the limitation is because Dropbox requires PHP oAuth, there is no current workaround other than more memory.
- Your server or site has file transfer or PHP script processing limits which is resulting in the transfer not finishing.
- Your Dropbox connection settings are wrong.
- Your server may not have enough memory to perform this transfer.
- Your backup is around or larger than 300mb. Dropbox has a 300mb file size limitation when uploading files online via a file.
- Solutions to try:
- Make sure your Dropbox connection settings are right.
- Delete your current Dropbox connection and then re-create the Dropbox connection. See if that works.
- Most important and basic thing to try: wait 10 to 15 minutes for the backup to arrive before giving up. Dropbox uploads can be slow due to Dropbox itself. Dropbox has been known to show files even 30 minutes after a backup file was sent.
- Ask your host to increase the PHP maximum_execution_time. This is usually 30 seconds. Try increasing it to something much higher temporarily to see if that makes any difference.
- Ask your host if your server can get more allotted memory.
- Ask your host to enable PHP error logging to a file that you can access.
- What this does is create an entry, in a txt file on your server that your host can tell you the location of, every time there is a PHP related error or warning. When DropBox times out, this file can most probably give you an exact error message that you can tell your host to address or fix.
- Try sending a smaller backup file OR simply a database backup file to Dropbox. You can also use the Exclude option to exclude folders and files you do not need or to test things. See if such smaller files arrive. If they do, your issue is definitely with the larger file sizes.
- Try excluding certain folders from the backups via BackupBuddy --> Settings and then see if the smaller-than-before backup files get to Dropbox.

Database SQL (MySql) file inside full backups
In full backups, the actual database is backed up also. To find this file, look for the following folder in your backup file after you have extracted/unzipped the backup zip file:
The NAMEOFBACKUP part in the above link will be the exact same as the last set of characters, after the date, in your backup file name.
For example, if your backup file name is:
then the folder inside a full backup where your database file is saved is
BackupBuddy Tab Missing in WordPress
- If the BackupBuddy Tab is missing in your WordPress Admin area, there could be a few reasons for it:
- MULTISITES: If you are activating BackupBuddy on a single site inside a Multisite instead of using the NETWORK ACTIVATE option, BackupBuddy options will be hidden on purpose for security reasons. You must use Network NETWORK ACTIVATE instead.
- Try disabling other plugins which may be causing a conflict OR not allowing BackupBuddy tab to show up in WordPress admin area, even if direct links to such areas work.

Step 3 in import results in importbuddy.php file being downloaded when "Next Step" is clicked
This problem happens because the .htaccess file being imported conflicts with the way your new host/server/site, where you are importing to, runs and processes php files.
- To fix it, try any of the following (keep going through the steps till you solve the problem - the Second step below should solve the problem completely)
- First, make sure you have the latest version of BackupBuddy's importbuddy.php (found in the latest BackupBuddy version OR latest download link available on the BackupBuddy main Backup page.)
- Second, read this exact issue explained in detail on PluginBuddy http://pluginbuddy.com/site-migration-heaven-one/ That has detailed steps on how to solve this.
- Third, AFTER you encounter the problem, since the importbuddy.php file already has extracted the files:
- Rename the .htaccess file in the newly extracted folder/area to anything like .htaccess_backup
- Restart the import process again.
- This time, in the Advanced Tab, select the option to "Skip File Unzip", since the files have already been extracted.
- After the site has been restored, go into your Settings --> Permalinks area to simply save that page, without making any changes. That will recreate the necessary .htaccess file again for the newly imported file.
- Make sure all file, folder and any other permissions are set properly before and after the backup and restore.
- This is probably the SAME as the other issue of Importbuddy showing actual file contents instead of the next step
You should now be able to pass Step 3 without any issues.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /.../importbuddy.php on line 7974 (or any line)
This error usually means that your site/server, where you are importing to, is running PHP4. BackupBuddy and importbuddy.php require at least PHP5 to function properly.
- It's usually easily fixable:
- Make sure you are using PHP5 and not PHP4.
- Change your PHP settings yourself to run PHP5.
- Ask your host to make sure you're running PHP5.

Extraction of zip files (unzipping) does not work
Sometimes your host or site setup may prevent importbuddy.php from extracting (unzipping) the backup file.
Here are 2 manual solutions, one via FTP and one via cPanel, on unzipping the files manually and then continuing the importbuddy.php process. Try either of the following:
- http://pluginbuddy.com/restoring-an-unzipped-backup-with-backupbuddy/
- http://pluginbuddy.com/tutorials/unzip-backup-zip-file-in-cpanel/
IMPORTANT: Make sure you choose "Skip zip file extraction", under the "Advanced Configuration Options" tab on Step 1, to tell importbuddy.php to SKIP the extraction process. The import should work fine then while skipping the extraction process.
Old importbuddy overwriting on unzip
- Possible Symptoms:
- importbuddy behaves differently or stops functioning properly after the extraction step.
- Weird errors are seen after the extraction step.
- The importbuddy version at the bottom of importbuddy changes after the extraction step.
- Error: "Error! The unzip process reported success but the backup data file, backupbuddy_dat.php was not found in the extracted files. The unzip process either failed (most likely) or the zip file is not a proper BackupBuddy backup."
- Error 9003.
- Possible Solutions:
- Open the backup ZIP and delete the importbuddy.php file within it.
- Replace the importbuddy.php on your server after the extraction step but before moving forward further.
After import: The source site is now redirecting to the destination site (or vice versa):
- This occurs if the new database settings were not entered during Step 4 of importbuddy.php. Because of this, both sites are now sharing the same database so one of them (usually source) is redirecting to the other (usually destination). importbuddy.php needs to be re-run inputting the source URL on Step 4 and using the source database settings. This will reconfigure the source database to use its proper URL. Next importbuddy.php needs to be run again inputting the destination URL on Step 4 with the NEW database settings for the new database. This way both sites will have their own database for their respective URLs.
- importbuddy no longer overwrites existing WordPress databases by default so this issue is not as common as it used to be.
After import: WordPress Error: `You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page`
One or more of your database table prefixes did not get changed during migration. A fix is available here: http://www.tech-evangelist.com/2010/02/06/wordpress-error-sufficient-permissions/
Cannot Log-in and Keep Getting Redirected Back to Log-In Page
The migration completed successfully and the site is browse-able but when you try to log in you keep getting redirected back to the log-in page and the URL looks something like this:
This is a common WordPress related issue and not a result of BackupBuddy backup or restore/import. It is easily fixable, though, and happens mainly because of some plugin or custom edit somewhere in WordPress causing WordPress to keep redirecting to a specific url for admin login.
- Solutions (try any of these to see if they work - make a backup of everything Or keep you BackupBuddy backup in case something goes wrong or you want to undo some changes you make below):
- Edit W3 Total Cache settings to fix this, if you are using or have used W3 Total Cache. Please check in your wp-config.php for a line such as this:
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.domain.com'); // Added by W3 Total CacheIn order to be able to log-in please either delete the line; or comment out the line; or change the string 'www.domain.com' to false - note that false is not enclosed by quotes, e.g.,:
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', false); // Added by W3 Total CacheYou will now be able to log-in and can then attend to updating this definition as required by your new site configuration. To read more about COOKIE_DOMAIN please visit: WordPress Codex - Cooke Domain
- Make sure your wp-config.php files does NOT have any hard-coded SITE or WordPress URI that may be causing this issue.
- Make sure there is no duplicate .htaccess file.
- Make sure the existing .htaccess file does not contain anything related to the Site or WordPress URL that is causing the redirect.
- Make sure the wp_options table does not have any OLD url's which were NOT updated prior to the move.
- Make sure you use the latest versions of BackupBuddy and importbuddy.php (even try importbuddy.php beta to see if that makes a difference)
- Disable conflicting/all plugins by renaming the folder names of the individual plugins to something different.
- Edit W3 Total Cache settings to fix this, if you are using or have used W3 Total Cache. Please check in your wp-config.php for a line such as this:

Blank OR strange homepage/frontpage BUT admin area works perfectly
This usually happens when there is an existing and unwanted index.html, default.html or some other server default file already in the root of WordPress directory of your new restore/migrated site.
- Solution:
- Make sure your .htaccess file is not causing the issue.
- Make sure you delete any extra index.html, default.html or any other server default file that is already in the root of the WordPress directory of your newly restored/migrated site.
- Make sure your WordPress's index.php file is correct. If not, you can always download the latest version from WordPress.org and use the index.php file from that download (with any changes you may have made to the existing index.php file) to replace the index.php already present in your site.
- Make sure your theme's index.php and other theme files contents and permissions are correct.
- Make sure your theme settings in the WordPress admin section are correct.
- Make sure the home URL got updated in the database.
- Can also use RepairBuddy to verify home URL.

Where can I get the latest BETA of importbuddy.php?
Starting with version 2.2.14, BackupBuddy now also includes a way to download the latest BETA version of importbuddy.php which will have the latest bleeding edge features. The link is in your BackupBuddy admin area.
- To download the latest BETA version of importbuddy.php
- Click the BackupBuddy tab OR the downward arrow in front of it to expand it.
- Click the Backup & Restore link under that tab.
- Look at the 3 images on that page, specifically the right most image called "Restore/Migrate."
- Right under it will be a link text "Try the latest " - that is your download link.
- Click that link to download the latest BETA version of importbuddy.php to your computer.
- Upload and use that file anywhere you want to restore/migrate your BackupBuddy backups.
- Here is the image of your BackupBuddy --> Backup & Restore area, where the latest BETA importbuddy.php download link is:
Links (permalinks) return 404 errors
- The .htaccess file was not configured properly or was not writable so importbuddy didn't update it.
- To fix log in to the admin dashboard and navigate to: Settings -> Permalinks and click 'Save Changes'.
- To manually fix, edit the .htaccess file in a text editor following the format on the .htaccess page.
- If getting this after a migration in which it redirected you to home page during the migration's step 5
- Cause: .htaccess file is causing redirections
- Solution:
- 1) Redo import and stop after Step 2 (file extraction)
- 2) After step 2 delete the .htaccess file in the root of the site
- 3) Continue the import to completion
- 4) Regenerate the .htaccess file in WordPress by going to Settings -> Permalinks -> and click to "Save Changes"
500 Server Errors:
- .htaccess (click for details) file is causing URLs to be redirected improperly or is malformed. Sometimes the front end simply won't load.
- Regnerating the .htaccess file can solve. To do this login to your admin dashboard and go to Settings -> Permalinks -> and click the "Save Changes" button.
- Note: You don't have to actually make any changes on the page to regenerate the .htaccess in this manner by clicking to "Save Changes".
- Regnerating the .htaccess file can solve. To do this login to your admin dashboard and go to Settings -> Permalinks -> and click the "Save Changes" button.
- PHP is not functioning or enabled for the site. Check with basic phpinfo().
- A 404 error is occurring but the server is not set up correctly to return a 404. Do sanity check with .htm file.
- Manually edit the .htaccess file in a text editor following the format on the .htaccess page.
- Delete or manually remove your OLD .htaccess file from the extracted folders after it passes the step of extracting files, from the backup file (and then zip it again) OR before you do a backup.
- Edit your OLD .htaccess file to be basic without any extra comments that may be interfering on the new server.
- Make sure your new OR old .htaccess does NOT have any directive that is resulting in any website file, including the index, to be blocked.
- See `.htaccess being overwritten on unzip` below if it happens on Step 2 of import.
- Ask your host to look at the .htaccess file and to fix any errors with it, OR to delete the EXISTING AND/OR GENERATED .htaccess file OR to generate a new .htaccess file for you.

.htaccess being overwritten on unzip
- Symptoms:
- PHP stops properly functions in importbuddy.php after the extraction step.
- Weird errors are seen after the extraction step.
- Solution:
- Open the backup ZIP and delete the .htaccess file within it, can be done before migrating.
- Can also delete the .htaccess file in directory after step 2
- Open the backup ZIP and delete the .htaccess file within it, can be done before migrating.
The backup zip file is not found
- The zip file has been renamed to a non-BackupBuddy format.
- The zip file permissions are wrong. Ex: Not readable.
- The zip file is not in the same directory as importbuddy.php.
- The zip file has not finished uploading or was interrupted in transit. If BackupBuddy was used to send it try manually uploading.
backupbuddy_dat.php OR db_1.sql was not found after extraction
- You may be using an older version of importbuddy.php not compatible with your backup version. Try upgrading your importbuddy.php to the version in the latest BackupBuddy.
- You may have renamed your backup ZIP file. BackupBuddy depends on the naming format to determine where some data in the backup ZIP is stored. Rename your backup back to its original name.
- Your backup may be corrupt. Try manually unzipping to verify it extracts properly.
SQL error near WH
- It is because the table does not have a mysql primary key or unique index
- If you have Gravity Forms and the problem is in _rg_form_meta then upgrade Gravity Forms to version 1.6+
Restoring database times out
- You can try reducing the size of that database.
- Checking for extra large tables you don't need (such as deleted plugins leaving data behind).
- What revision retention policy do you operate on the posts? It may be that you have a lot of revisions stored in the database that you could safely remove. The WordPress Codex gives some information on controlling revisions (http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Post_Revisions) but I don't think this acts retrospectively so you might need to find a method to prune any revisions you currently have.
- Seeing if host will increase memory limit and runtime can help as well.
Extracting ZIP times out / hangs
- Unzipping was not able to complete due to the unzipping process taking longer than the maximum PHP allowed runtime (usually 30 seconds).
- Solutions:
- Manual Unzip Process:
- Manually extract the ZIP file on your computer then upload the files to the server.
- Restart the importbuddy.php Import process, selecting `Skip Zip Extraction` from the advanced options slide-down.
- Or ask your host to increase the maximum PHP runtime beyond its current limit.
- Manual Unzip Process:
Defined URL in wp-config.php
- Symptoms:
- URL does not appear to update after migration.
- Links 404 after migration and you verified that you entered the correct URL to migrate to.
- Links can also redirect to old site at the defined URL, though usually they 404
- Cannot update url's in the admin area. Such fields are usually disabled, as WordPress disallows their editing if the home URL is in the wp-config.php file
URLs redirecting to old site
- Verify that you properly entered the old and new URLs of your site during the importbuddy.php Import Process.
- Solution:
- Re-run importbuddy.php entering the correct URLs.
- Also make sure import is finishing correctly, may be timing out without realizing it.
URL needs manually updated
- Note that this does not update serialized data. In short, some plugins, such as PluginBuddy plugins may not have internal URLs updated. This is more of a last-choice solution.
- SQL to update URL in posts manually:
update wp_posts set post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://OLD_URL', 'http://NEW_URL');
- Command line zip test to check if exec is enabled and zip can create a file. Download: Media:Zip_test.zip
The unzip process reported success but the backup data file...
"Error! The unzip process reported success but the backup data file, backupbuddy_dat.php was not found in the extracted files. The unzip process either failed (most likely) or the zip file is not a proper BackupBuddy backup."
- Most common cause: See [1]
- The backup did not finish extracting (timed out).
- Verify the backup is not damaged.
Importbuddy.php shows ACTUAL file contents instead of the next step
There is one report that on Step 4, importbuddy.php started showing the actual importbuddy.php file contents. The reason for this was that the EXTRACTED .htaccess file from the OLD server/site was causing the issue.
This is VERY similar OR the same as Step 3 downloading importbuddy.php file issue which also contains possible reasons and solutions.
- Solutions
- Check your .htaccess file on the OLD server/site and fix any issues with it. THEN do the backup.
- After Step 3 has finished, and BEFORE proceeding to Step 4 (or any such step where this problem happens), open a new window OR your FTP program, go and find the EXTRACTED .htaccess file, EDIT it to remove any UNWANTED directives, and then switch back to the importbuddy.php window to continue onto the next step.
- On the OLD site, ALSO try saving your Permalinks again in WordPress --> Permalinks . Simply click "Save" on that page and then do a backup and retry the import/restore/migration.
- Thanks to our customer Chris Malone for finding the issue and finding a solution right away too.
- As mentioned above, this is VERY similar OR the same as Step 3 downloading importbuddy.php file issue which also contains possible reasons and solutions.

Fed Chairman Bernanke told congress today:
'Gold isn't money'
But Bernanke's predecessor - former Fed chair Alan Greenspan - disagrees.
As I noted in 2009:
Professor Emeritus of Mathematics Antal Fekete has argued for years that gold is the ultimate - and only - safe haven when things really hit the fan.
For example, in 2007 Fekete wrote:The grand old man of the New York Federal Reserve bank's gold department, the last Mohican, John Exter explained the devolution of money (not his term) using the model of an inverted pyramid, delicately balanced on its apex at the bottom consisting of pure gold. The pyramid has many other layers of asset classes graded according to safety, from the safest and least prolific at bottom to the least safe and most prolific asset layer, electronic dollar credits on top. (When Exter developed his model, electronic dollars had not yet existed; he talked about FR deposits.) In between you find, in decreasing order of safety, as you pass from the lower to the higher layer: silver, FR notes, T-bills, T-bonds, agency paper, other loans and liabilities denominated in dollars. In times of financial crisis people scramble downwards in the pyramid trying to get to the next and nearest safer and less prolific layer underneath. But down there the pyramid gets narrower. There is not enough of the safer and less prolific kind of assets to accommodate all who want to "devolve". Devolution is also called "flight toDarryl Schoon makes the same argument.

Are Exeter, Fekete and Schoon right?
I don't know. But Alan Greenspan just lent some support to the theory.
Gold prices that jumped above $1,000 an ounce this week are signaling that investors are buying metals to hedge against declines in currencies, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said.
The gains are "strictly a monetary phenomenon," Greenspan said today at an investment conference in New York. Rising prices of precious metals and other commodities are "an indication of a very early stage of an endeavor to move away from paper currencies," he said...
"What is fascinating is the extent to which gold still holds reign over the financial system as the ultimate source of payment," Greenspan said.
In other words, Greenspan is saying that investors are moving out of the second-to-lowest step on the pyramid (currencies and government bonds) and into the lowest step (gold).
Greenspan is also verifying what goldbugs like Exeter, Fekete and Schoon have been claiming: that "the barbarous relic" still holds an important place in the modern investor's psyche.
Moreover, as I reported last year:
Alan Greenspan told the Council of Foreign Relations last week:Fiat money has no place to go but gold.
Greenspan also said that supply and demand explanations treating gold like other commodities "simply don't pan out."
Greenspan also spoke of how, during World War II, the Allies going into North Africa found gold was insisted on in the payment of bribes, and said:If all currencies are moving up or down together, the question is: relative to what? Gold is the canary in the coal mine. It signals problems with respect to currency markets. Central banks should pay attention to it.
As I pointed out last month:
Utah has declared gold and silver to be legal tender - with the value of the coin determined by the weight of precious metal it contains
As the New York Times notes:The law is the first of its kind in the United States. Several other states, including Minnesota, Idaho and Georgia, have considered similar laws.
World Bank president Robert Zoellick noted last year:Although textbooks may view gold as the old money, markets are using gold as an alternative monetary asset today.
Moreover, as FT reported last year:
Intercontinental Exchange, the US futures exchange group, has followed rival CME Group by allowing its European clearing house to accept gold bullion as collateral for transactions.
Zero Hedge notes:
JP Morgan Accepts Gold Bullion As Collateral.
And Phoenix Capital Research argues that central banks are themselves loading up on gold because they know that the entire fiat money scam will soon collapse.

Nearly every week for the past decade, someone has written to me to ask for career advice. Except for those messages that went to my spam box, I've answered every one. I do it because I too have been in that wandering state, unsure of what's next. People helped me then, and now I want to keep the karma chain going.
I also help for selfish reasons. Because I like meeting young people with fresh ideas and following their progress; it's a narrative that I get to observe and enjoy in bits and pieces. A few of the people I've spoken with have written books, some have started companies, we've hired a couple, and many have succeeded in other fields like law, fashion, and architecture.
What has struck me recently, though, is how sharply and suddenly my spiel to aspiring food writers has changed. Five years ago, I would take people through what I thought were the best steps toward getting hired at the limited number of food publications, and/or putting themselves in the best position to write books. This usually involved suggesting they go to cooking school, or, better yet, work in restaurants. Then I offered a few tips for getting a foot in the door at a newspaper food section like the L.A. Times or national magazine like Saveur or Gourmet (getting a face-to-face informational interview so an editor will remember you; getting clips not in your local paper but the smaller publications, like Edible or Gastronomica, that these editors read; structuring a pitch letter so it will catch an editor's attention; sending editors something you've baked – everyone's a sucker for a home-baked good) – I let them know it would be a difficult road but encouraged them to dive in.
About 2 years ago, I stopped giving this advice: I can no longer responsibly recommend that you drop everything to try to become a food writer. Except for a very small group of people (some of whom are clinging to jobs at magazines that pay more than the magazines' business models can actually afford), it's nearly impossible to make a living as a food writer, and I think it's only going to get worse.
If I weren't working on Food52, I would not be a full-time writer because, even as an experienced journalist and best-selling author, I would not be able to pay my bills. Just 10 years ago, food writers with staff jobs were able to earn $80,000 to $150,000 a year, and freelancers were regularly paid $2 a word; today, these jobs barely exist. Advertising revenues, already on a steady decline, plummeted online. Online, $35,000 to $60,000 a year and $.25 to $.75 a word is more like it. New publications simply can't pay very well, if at all. Just ask our writers.
And the real problem with these figures is that they're static – you don't start at $40,000 and work your way up to $80,000. You either happily stay at $40,000, or leave and let the next young, bright writer take your spot. This $40,000 also comes with many fewer perks – no expense accounts and little travel budget. In 1998, the New York Times sent me to France for two weeks to find some stories. Today, this would be unimaginable.
So what happens now if someone comes to me wanting to become a writer? I don't totally crush their dreams. I just step on them a bit -- before trying to help the aspirant re-imagine his or her future in a whole new way.
Start a blog, pitch magazines, go after a book contract, I say, but instead of relying on writing as your bread and butter – and instead of torturing yourself with the rejection and struggle for respectable payment that this will entail -- look to other interests in the food industry. We're in a moment of great change. There's never been more opportunity to make a difference, to shift the way we think about buying and eating food, to create something new, to start a business. This is what you should be doing.
Don't feel glum; this new era is actually better. Everyone who can write well is now welcome to. At the time I got started in the 1990s, I was considering becoming a bread baker, but you couldn't get anyone to hire you as a writer if you worked "in the field." There was widespread snobbery toward non-professional writers, and an assumption that it would be a conflict of interest – or just too much self-interest -- for a chef to write about cooking or a farmer about raising chickens.
The observers kept out the doers, a system that never really made sense. Now people want to hear from the doers. Gabrielle Hamilton, the chef at Prune, is a sought-after writer with a best-selling memoir; David Chang, founder of the Momofuku empire, has launched his own hit magazine, Lucky Peach; and Tamar Adler, a cook and csa director, has written "An Everlasting Meal."
Blogs changed this exclusionary system, both for the better and the worse. While they gave an exciting new platform to those formerly shut out of gatekeeper publications like Food & Wine, The New York Times and Gourmet, they also created a new, more democratic but competitive arena in which, ultimately, most would fail. The best blogs would grow into their own self-sustaining brands, and the rest would be left to struggle and starve, or subsist as an unpaid hobby. The brand-achievers, the talented writers and photographers behind SmittenKitchen, The Pioneer Woman, and Simply Recipes are able to make more money than I would have dreamed of earning when I was a staff writer at the New York Times (then considered the pinnacle of food writing jobs). They are earning this money in part because they began before the huge growth spurt in blogging, but mostly because they've successfully built a committed and large audience that advertisers are willing to pay to reach -- and they should be lauded for both their prescience and business smarts.
Blogs also turned content into an inexpensive commodity, which spread ad dollars thinner and put even more downward pressure on writers' pay.
You can aim to become one of these brands, but the journey will be unpredictable. Better to see writing as part of a more personally-crafted career that will allow you to pursue an array of interests -- and a career that you will need to treat in an entrepreneurial way, inventing and reinventing what you do along the way. Your lifestyle may still not be that lavish, but it will at least be yours to shape. You will have the chance to have a much more varied and engaging career; I wish mine had begun this way.
And so, if you want my advice, here's what I would do if I just graduated from college and wanted to become a food writer:
1. Right away: get your hands dirty, in as many places as possible. Skip journalism and cooking school. Instead, use that money to support yourself while you do mostly low-paying food jobs. Wash dishes in a restaurant. Work on a farm. Get a job in a food factory. Assist a commercial fisherman. Intern at a start-up (I know the perfect place for you…). Volunteer at a co-op.
2. Broaden your skills so you can control your destiny. Take a photography class. Learn to edit video. Study HTML and CSS. If you're entrepreneurial, go to business school.
3. Never eat the same meal twice. If you want to be knowledgeable about food, you need to experience it yourself.
4. Later on, try to work at a place that's making change, where you get to become expert in some area of our food system. (See Stone Barns, Five Acre Farms, Randwiches, Real Time Farms)
5. Create a blog and write about what you do.
6. Start your own venture. An online service for pantry staples a la Diapers.com. Start a network of small slaughterhouses (there's a need). Create a solution for distributing the goods of small farmers beyond farmers markets.
7. Last but sort of least: write articles or a book on the side.

Commercial banks underwrite bonds, and make markets in currency, interest rates, and credit-related securities, but today large commercial banks usually have an investment bank arm .In Fort Smith, commercial banking is seen as distinct from retail banking, which involves the provision of financial services direct to consumers.
In Fort Smith, the most important activity of a commercial bank is to assemble deposits from the public. If the rate of interest is higher, the public is motivated to deposit more funds with the bank. A financial institution that provides services such as accepting deposits and giving business loans is a commercial bank in Fort Smith.

Gov. Rick Scott has made his opposition to tuition hikes for college students well-known in the last several months. He has repeatedly said that he worries that the cost of a college education is getting too high in the Sunshine State.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) � Gov. Rick Scott has made his opposition to tuition hikes for college students well-known in the last several months. He has repeatedly said that he worries that the cost of a college education is getting too high in the Sunshine State.
"This is a tax, it's a tax on students, it's a tax on families," Scott told reporters earlier this week.
But Scott's opposition has done little to dissuade the Florida House from proposing a 6-percent tuition hike.
House Speaker Will Weatherford on Thursday strongly defended the move, which would generate an estimated $37 million for the state's 12 public universities.
"Our students and our parents are spending as much money on their cellphones a year as they are paying for tuition," Weatherford said.
Weatherford, who made his remarks before the Florida Board of Governors, also said that the state's overall tuition rate for university students remains among the lowest in the country. The board is the appointed panel that oversees the university system.
Florida charges undergraduate students an average in-state rate of $6,232 a year � which ranks about 41st in the nation, according to data compiled by the State University System of Florida.
"We think to just take tuition off the table and ignore the fact that we are ranked so low...is not right," Weatherford said.
The difference over tuition is yet another flash point in a building tug-of-war between Weatherford and Scott. The Republican governor last week was critical of a campaign finance bill pushed by the speaker. Weatherford, meanwhile, has questioned Scott's desire to give teachers a $2,500 pay raise.
The Wesley Chapel Republican responded sarcastically when asked about Scott's opposition to tuition hikes.
"Is that right? He's not for tuition increases?" he said.
The Florida Senate has not recommended any tuition increases in its proposed budget. Weatherford said the House was not fixated on a 6 percent amount and said the final figure was "negotiable." The House and Senate have until early May to pass a new state budget and send it to Scott.
Florida has a complicated system for setting tuition rates. The Legislature can order across-the-board tuition increases and the Board of Governors can approve increases requested by individual universities. State law limits the increases to a combined 15 percent annually.
Last year Scott vetoed a bill that would have permitted the state's top two research schools, the University of Florida and Florida State University, to exceed that current cap.
As legislators have cut state spending in recent years, the universities have responded by raising tuition. Last year lawmakers cut university budgets by $300 million.
University presidents pledged last December that they would not seek a tuition increase this year if legislators restored the 2012 cut and agreed to spend $118 million more in state money on the 12 schools.
University of Florida Bernie Machen said that the initial budget proposals rolled out by the House and Senate would allow the schools to keep that promise. The House and Senate budgets would increase state dollars to universities between $143 million and $198 million. The budgets even include extra money for both UF and FSU.
"If that holds, we're fine," Machen said.

It's a great rural-urban partnership - I'm helping them reduce waste in the landfills and they spread it for me free so the economics work. The best part is that this gives me uniformity in the vineyard which translates into uniformity in fruit quality."
