It's no wonder: as the most popular fiction genre in the United States for the past three decades, there are more opportunities in romantic fiction than ever before.What's unique about the romance genre is that it is a very specialized industry. There are standards for plot, characterization, novel length, and even formatting that are required before most literary agents or publishers will even consider turning your manuscript into a published novel. Most readers know exactly what they expect from a romance novel, and you have to meet these expectations in order to succeed.This course will take you through everything you need to know to write the kind of romance novel that gets noticed. From creating a hero and heroine that sizzle to understanding point-of-view and knowing where to go for more resources, you'll get access to insider information on making the most out of your manuscript.

CA 65 DOM 2009? What to do.... Help?
The CA is good until December of the 8th year following manufacture. So yours should expire in December of 2017 If that's enough time for you, maybe it's enough that you got the bargain.
But there are other considerations, too. Was the CA 65 even being made in 2009? I thought it started production in 2010. Are you sure you got a CA 65 and not an original CA, with a 50 lb FF weight limit? If it's a CA 50, is that acceptable to you? If you have a tall, slender child it's probably plenty (a skinny kid will outgrow the CA by height around 50 lbs anyway) but if you have a heavier kid you may really want the extra 15 lbs of FF capacity.
If it is a CA 65, does it have plastic strap covers over the harness? Those were discontinued in 2011, along with some design changes that made them unnecessary. Those strap covers are a comfort problem for some kids, and they also tend to get entangled in the adjustment mechanism when adjusting the harness height and tightness. I found it annoying enough that I actually sent my 2010 model CA 65 back to Safety 1st for a refund (and bought a newer one when it came on sale). I was told that the covers were discontinued because they had so many problems with them.
ERFing Gluten-Free Sheep-Farming CPST Mom to 2 adult boys, 2 little daughters (Aug '10, Dec '14)
If it says CA 65 on the outside of the box, it should be a CA 65.
Does it actually have a date of manufacture sticker on the outside of the box? Or does it say something like "Copyright 2009"?
Where did you buy it from?
ERFing Gluten-Free Sheep-Farming CPST Mom to 2 adult boys, 2 little daughters (Aug '10, Dec '14)
Is your Grandma techy enough to take a picture of it and send it to you?
I'm sorry I don't still have a CA box to look at, but I actually don't recall it having a DOM on the outside of the box. And "2009 Dorel Juvenile Group" sounds a lot like the copyright date for the box.
ERFing Gluten-Free Sheep-Farming CPST Mom to 2 adult boys, 2 little daughters (Aug '10, Dec '14)
Yeah, a DOM should have at least a Month with it. sounds like a "copyright 2009 Dorel" type date. Let's hope your dOM is newer :)
I can't remember if I've seem DOM's on the outside of boxes before (don't own any dorel seats myself). But Evenflo and Graco and Britax do have stickers on the outside with DOM's if I recall correctly, so there might be one there.
DS#1 - February '08 & DS#2 - March '10
I know Britax and Diono seats do. The old Sunshine Kids ones didn't, I don't think. I had a long back-and-forth with Dorel though when they kept sending me the WRONG Complete Air to replace the one I sent back to them (and then eventually gave up and issued me a refund instead so I bought from Amazon)... if I recall correctly, I think I had to actually open each box to see what the DOM was on the seats they sent me. But that was a year ago and my memory's a bit fuzzy.
ERFing Gluten-Free Sheep-Farming CPST Mom to 2 adult boys, 2 little daughters (Aug '10, Dec '14)
glad you figured it out!
Yes, Mama, Graco boxes do have the DOM on the front of the box too.

Inadequate sun protection in early childhood centres could be
putting children at risk of skin cancer later in life, new
University of Otago research shows.
Published yesterday in the New Zealand Medical Journal, the
study of New Zealand centres, conducted by Wellington campus
researchers, found sun protection policies were in place but
were frequently inadequate or not enforced.
Lead researcher Mary Duignan said centres often allowed
children to wear caps, which did not offer enough protection,
or did not properly oversee sunscreen use.
''We also found there was inconsistent role-modelling, such
as staff not wearing hats while outside.''
Ms Duignan said there was a lack of sun protection
monitoring/regulatory requirements for early childhood
centres and staff lacked access to information about the
The prolonged latency period for cancer meant it took a long
time to learn whether prevention programmes were effective.
However, the evidence suggested they were effective, because
excessive childhood ultraviolet radiation exposure increased
melanoma risk later in life.
Increasing resources to centres for sun protection would
produce long-term savings in costs related to skin cancer,
she said.

Healthy advice: 'Eat this, not that'
Published: Friday, February 18, 2011 at 6:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 18, 2011 at 6:19 a.m.
Edy's All Natural Smoothie Strawberry Banana bars sound pretty healthy, right? So do Ritz Whole Wheat crackers and Newman's Own Tomato & Basil sauce.
Ideas to help you eat healthy, cut calories
- Draw an imaginary X on your plate. One-quarter each should be protein and whole grain sources; the other half should be fruits and vegetables. The more different colors of food on your plate, the better.
- Check the servings per container or serving size to estimate total calories on a product's nutritional label. Even a small bag or container can have four to six servings.
- Look at the percentages of daily values for saturated fats, trans fat and sodium. Compare products and select ones with the lowest percentages. Most people should limit sodium to 1,500 milligrams a day.
- Select foods with higher percentages of fiber. Three grams or more is considered an excellent fiber source; 35 grams are recommended per day. Good sources are legumes, beans, fruits and vegetables.
- Examine the food label ingredient list, which lists items in order of their prominence in the food. Avoid foods with enriched wheat flour or sugar as the first ingredients.
Source: Margie Fougeron, registered dietitian, The Care Group, a member of St. Vincent Medical Group in Indianapolis
But each product has a flaw.
The Edy's bar has a "staggering 21 ingredients," the Ritz crackers' main ingredient is nutrient-stripped enriched flour, and Newman's sauce has nearly twice the sugar as some other brands, says the 2011 edition of "Eat This, Not That!"
Making good food choices at grocery stores and restaurants can be tough. But making simple swaps, watching a few key nutrients - saturated fats, sodium, fiber and sugar - and cutting back on certain ingredients and portion sizes can go a long way toward creating a good diet. Even if you don't make the optimal choice every time, better options exist that aren't gut-busting, high-sugar, high-fat and low-fiber choices.
That's the premise behind the popular "Eat This, Not That!" series of books written by David Zinczenko, Men's Health magazine editor-in-chief, with Matt Goulding, New York Times best-selling food author.
The books, with 7.5 million copies in print, focus on swaps at restaurants and groceries for meals at home, for kids' meals and for drinks. They also highlight topics such as 350-calorie meals, 50 best supermarket foods and the worst foods in American restaurants.
Topping the worst restaurant meals in the 2011 book? The Cheesecake Factory's bistro shrimp pasta with a whopping 2,727 calories, 78 grams of saturated fat and 1,737 milligrams of sodium.
Better choices at lots of restaurants are pointed out that can save hundreds of calories along with fat grams, sodium and sugar.
"We get so much health advice on how to eat 100 percent perfect," said Clint Carter, contributing editor to the "Eat This, Not That" series, published by Rodale Inc. "Most people approach food as an all-or-nothing transaction - either you're going to eat good or eat bad. That's not really the case."
Eating at a restaurant, even at fast-food places, Carter said, doesn't mean you have to load up on high-calorie and high-fat food. "You can make smart decisions. It doesn't have to completely derail your diet. And if you want to eat a TV dinner, it isn't dietary suicide."
A case in point from the 2011 book: Instead of eating Au Bon Pain's sausage, egg and cheddar on asiago bagel (810 calories, 46 grams of fat, 1,340 milligrams of sodium), try the bacon and egg melt on ciabatta (470 calories, 23 grams of fat and 980 milligrams of sodium).
While the fat and sodium content of the melt is lower than many of the other choices recommended in the book, it's higher than what most dietitians would say is healthy. Yet it's the better of those two options.
"It's a nice visual way to see what's better for you," said Angie Scheetz, wellness coordinator and registered dietitian for the National Institute for Fitness and Sport. "But the best option is to stay home and cook something healthier. The more fresh, whole foods you can eat, the better."
Still, many people eat out multiple times a week, buy processed foods, don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, and consume too many high-sugar and high-fat (saturated) foods. The so-called SoFAS - solid fats and added sugars - in the average American diet amount to 35 percent of total calories.
"If you're making swaps and better choices, then it just becomes a habit, and that's going to promote weight loss and better weight management long-term," said registered dietitian Margie Fougeron with The Care Group, a member of St. Vincent Medical Group in Indianapolis.
Making those changes is better than yo-yo dieting or following fad diets, she added.
So, what are some easy food swaps or diet tweaks?
Look for key words on menus. Baked, broiled, roasted, steamed or grilled foods usually have fewer calories than fried, battered, crispy, marinated or stuffed foods. Ask for salad dressings on the side, and inquire about the sauces and oils used to cook foods. Request that cooks go easy on oil. At home, try spice rubs on meat or fish. Make pan sauces for meat. Use fresh salsa as a condiment.
Cut back on high-sugar foods. This includes sodas and fruit drinks, and foods with added sugar. On packaged foods, Fougeron cautions people to read the ingredient listing and avoid products that list added sugars first.
People need to realize, she said, that natural sugars found in fruit, milk and grains aren't separated from the harmful added sugars on the nutritional label showing the total grams. Only by checking the ingredient list can you see if the added sugars are high.
Drinks such as Crystal Light or Minute Maid Light or sugar-free versions of coffee beverages will save calories, said Scheetz. But she warned that some fat-free food products will dump in sugar to make them taste better, so she often advises to go with the "light" version.
Pay attention to portion size.
Eating large portions is the No. 1 way people add "invisible" calories to their diets, said Sara Blackburn, clinical associate professor in Indiana University's Department of Nutrition and Dietetics.
For example, the standard portion size for pasta is a half cup, while most people will eat 4 cups, she said. Similarly, people tend to eat much more than the 5 ounces of meat - the size of a deck of cards - most should have daily.
Swap seafood and other lean protein sources, such as beans, in place of some meat. Fougeron agrees with these new U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommendations and notes that it's good to adjust recipes, such as chili and tacos, to include more lean ground turkey or beans.
While these swaps and tweaks are helpful, dietitians recognize that people can sometimes lapse into bad habits, falling prey to big restaurant portions and misleading food package labeling.
While some are willing to count calories, not everyone wants to do that.
"Instead of counting calories all day, you need to be more in touch with how you actually feel," said Alyse Levine, a nationally known, Los Angeles-based registered dietitian who advises Lance Armstrong's Livestrong.com initiative.
Mindful eating, when you eat slowly, pay attention to how you feel and not get distracted will help you realize when you are satisfied, so you won't eat until you're stuffed, Levine said.
"Have that pause moment," she said. "Take a deep breath and ask yourself, 'Am I even still hungry?' "
So how much and what kinds of foods do you really need?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's My Pyramid website, www.mypyramid.gov, has a daily food plan that allows you to plug in your age, weight, height and activity level. Then it tells you how many calories you should consume to maintain (or lose weight) and the quantity of food that you need from each food group. Here are recommendations for an average female and male.
Female: @Age 45, 5 foot, 4 inches, 135 pounds, 30 to 60 minutes of moderate/vigorous exercise daily.
- Calories: 2,000 daily.
- Grains: 6 ounces (at least half whole grains).
- Vegetables: 2-1/2 cups.
- Fruits: 2 cups.
- Milk/dairy: 3 cups.
- Meats/beans: 5-1/2 ounces.
- Oils/discretionary calories: Aim for 6 teaspoons of oil; limit extra fats, sugars to 265 calories.
Male: @Age 45, 5 foot, 10 inches; 165 pounds, 30 to 60 minutes of moderate/vigorous exercise daily.
- Calories: 2,600.
- Grains: 9 ounces (at least half whole grains).
- Vegetables: 3-1/2 cups.
- Fruits: 2 cups.
- Milk/dairy: 3 cups.
- Meats/beans: 6-1/2 ounces.
- Oils/discretionary calories: Aim for 8 teaspoons of oil; limit extra fats and sugars to 410 calories.
Note: If physical activity is less than 30 minutes daily, the woman should consume 1,800 calories; the man, 2,400. If activity is more than 60 minutes, the woman should have 2,200 calories; the man, 3,000.

text: I am running Twenty Ten and since they updated it there are image resizing issues. It will not allow me to manually resize. It says it does but the image always reverts back to original size no matter what the sizing editor says. The only way to now adjust image size is to manually resize every image and then upload.....but you can't do this with url images. It's an onerous process when you have hundreds of posts. Any way to fix this bug. It only started in last week or so......you must've switched something when you updated it :(

Color me shocked.
It's always charming to read news reports of men flashing underaged girls and see the inevitable detail of the baby seat in the flasher's car.
Who needs The Jerry Springer Show when we have Slog?
Has anyone checked to see if that guy is mentally retarded or something? Might be worth looking into.
hey, you'd be inappropriately horny, too, if your lady had locked herself in the bathroom for three years...
Wonderful title, David.
Hm. Did he actually "expose" himself, or did the neighbors just see him when he took a leak against the side of his house? Just asking -- I'd think he'd be seriously off the habit of using the toilet after all these years.
@7 - That's an interesting thought. Or, maybe he was taking a dump outside since his toilet seat went to the hospital with his girlfriend?
Michael Strangeways, the woman was stuck on a toilet seat, but he visited her. Depending on how tall each of them were, he could easily get enough of a certain type of action...
But still I find it hard to imagine that a man with "normal" hetero inclinations would be fine with no access to pussy for two years. This story is hardly surprising.
@7, you would make a terrific public defender.
Hey, Smokey back here taking a shit!
There's a good joke to be made about homeschooling here, but I am not up to the task.

2013 Dodge Durango R/T

Not too long ago, Chevrolet got itself into some trouble by throwing the SS badge on just about everything it produced, so I've always been a little hesitant about the seemingly excessive use of the R/T nameplate on Dodge vehicles. For the 2013 model year, practically every model in Dodge's lineup has an R/T trim level from the Avenger all the way up to the Durango. Although the R/T name used to signified models made for road and track, I doubt anyone would be delusional enough to assume the Durango – and some of the other models wearing this badge – are suited for any sort of track duty.
Still, when this 2013 Dodge Durango R/T rolled up for me to drive for the week, I couldn't help but take in its big, mean and imposing stance. Sure, if I had my choice of buying any of the Dodge R/T products, the Charger and Challenger would be my top picks for sure, but it's easy to say that the Durango would be a close third – far above the R/T versions of the Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.

- Not that the current Durango was a bad-looking SUV to begin with, but the R/T package gives it more aggressive styling thanks to a monochromatic look. With the removal of just about all the chrome that comes on a Durango, this tester even looked good in what would normally be a boring shade of silver thanks to the body-colored front fascia, smoked headlights, 20-inch wheels and the sporty-looking rear fascia with dual exhaust outlets.
- The styling might be there to back up the badge, but there is no extra power under the hood of the R/T. In possibly one of the best moves Dodge made with this particular model, the only engine offered is the 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The 360-horsepower, 390 pound-feet of torque engine feels adequate perfectly for this 5,331-pound utility. This is the only model of the Durango lineup that comes standard with the six-speed automatic transmission, too.
- Fuel economy is about what you'd expect from a V8-powered SUV weighing as much as the Durango does, with EPA estimates of 13 miles per gallon in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. During my week with the R/T, this tester returned 15.5 mpg.
- The Hemi is equipped with cylinder deactivation, which feels clunky at times when it switches from V8 to V4 power, with an ever-so-slight delay when the cylinders reengage once again. The only bypass for the system is just to be sure that you're right foot stays planted whenever possible.
- Chrysler says the Durango R/T comes with a sport suspension, but aside from the bigger standard wheels, I felt no difference between this and any other Durango I've driven in the past. If you're really looking for a sporty, family-sized (three-row) SUV, you're probably going to want to check out the new Explorer Sport.
- The best part of the Durango R/T might be its exhaust system. Yes, the dual pipes poking through the rear fascia give it an aftermarket look, but it's the exhaust note that makes the R/T thrilling. Dodge gave the Durango R/T unique mufflers, pipes and resonators for a deep, throaty note, which makes the package a little more distinctive.
- Similar to the exterior styling, the R/T's interior has a sportier look and feel with plenty of red accents on the standard black leather throughout the cabin. This particular model came with the center-row captain seats limiting the overall seating capacity to just six, but it made accessing the third-row seat much easier. Not surprisingly, as the innovator of third-row seating for non-fullsize SUVs, the Durango's rearmost accommodations are spacious enough for two adults and can also fold completely flat quickly and easily.
- The R/T trim level sits just under the Citadel as the top Durango model, and as such, it isn't a cheap SUV. Starting at $35,995 in base form, this all-wheel-drive 2013 Durango R/T was optioned up quite impressively, bringing with it a hefty as-tested price of $45,360.
- What you get for that high price, though, is plenty of optional goodies including leather-wrapped door panels, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, adaptive cruise control and Chrysler's Uconnect navigation system. This test vehicle may very well have been completely fully loaded, and while it'd be a hard financial pill to swallow, it's certainly easy enough to option rivals to the same level.
- Yes, the third-gen Durango is no longer body on frame, but proving that it hasn't completely lost touch with its SUV roots, the Durango is still rear-wheel drive in base form, even though it's now competing against a newer breed of three-row utilities like the Chevy Traverse, Nissan Pathfinder and the Ford Explorer. Unlike its corporate cousin, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Durango is not offered with a multi-mode off-road system, but it did handle itself quite well while driving on the loose sand of a northeast Florida beach.

Global optimization process can often be divided into two subprocesses: exploration and exploitation. The tradeoff between exploration and exploitation (T:Er&Ei) is crucial in search and optimization, having a great effect on global optimization performance, e.g., accuracy and convergence speed of optimization algorithms. In this paper, definitions of exploration and exploitation are first given based on information correlation among samplings. Then, some general indicators of optimization hardness are presented to characterize problem difficulties. By analyzing a typical contraction-based three-stage optimization process, optimal contraction theorem is presented to show that T:Er&Ei depends on the optimization hardness of problems to be optimized. T:Er&Ei will gradually lean toward exploration as optimization hardness increases. In the case of great optimization hardness, exploration-dominated optimizers outperform exploitation-dominated optimizers. In particular, random sampling will become an outstanding optimizer when optimization hardness reaches a certain degree. Besides, the optimal number of contraction stages increases with optimization hardness. In an optimal contraction way, the whole sampling cost is evenly distributed in all contraction stages, and each contraction takes the same contracting ratio. Furthermore, the characterization of optimization hardness is discussed in detail. The experiments with several typical global optimization algorithms used to optimize three groups of test problems validate the correctness of the conclusions made by T:Er&Ei analysis.

Doctors gave the 45-year-old twins lethal injections after
they had had a cup of coffee together and said goodbye to
each other, a spokesman at the UZ Brussel hospital said.
"It's not simply that they were deaf and blind that they were
granted the right to euthanasia. It is that they could no
longer bear being unable to hear or see the other," he said.
Belgium is one of few countries where euthanasia is legal.
A patient must be an adult, capable of making a judgment, and
the wish to die must be voluntary, overwhelming and repeated.
The patient must also be suffering persistent and unbearable
mental or physical pain beyond medical help.
In addition, the condition must be serious and incurable, and
have been brought on by illness or injury.
"Unbearable suffering can be mental as well as physical," the
hospital spokesman said. "The brothers were inseparable. They
lived together and had the same job."
He said the brothers died on December 14 and that their
family supported their wishes.
Belgium legalised euthanasia in 2002 and the number of cases
has risen every year since. In 2011, 1,133 were granted the
right to die, of which 86 percent were at least 60 years old
and 72 percent suffering from cancer.
The Netherlands and Luxembourg have both decriminalised
euthanasia. Switzerland allows assisted suicide if the person
concerned takes an active role.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
My heart goes out to the deaf twins who could not bear to
live without being able to see each other when blindness took
away what made life worth living for them. And I applaud the
humane courage of the Belgian system that respected their
sincere lifelong opinion of what made their lives worth
In too many jurisdictions the "ethical" side holds all the
power of defining what quality of life means for other,
suffering, people and this leaves people to suffer but allows
people who have not walked a metre let alone a mile in their
shoes, feeling smug about their recommendations of pain
relief, counsellors and so forth, which would have been a
whole lot of no-use-at-all to those twins, just the same as
many other people who end their lives in misery thanks to the
lofty so-called principles of comfortable other folk.

WASHINGTON (April 20, 2014) Biofuels made from the leftovers of harvested corn plants are worse in the short term for global warming than gasoline, according to government-funded research published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
The study challenges the Obama administration's conclusions that biofuels are a much cleaner oil alternative and will help fight climate change.
The biofuels industry and Obama administration both criticized the findings as flawed.
Corn residue is one of the most promising ways to make cellulosic biofuels.
Biofuels have struggled to reach the volumes required by law.
The administration and biofuel supporters claim biofuels are better for the environment than are gasoline and corn ethanol.
A 2007 law requires that they release 60 percent less carbon than gas to qualify as renewable fuel.

A Mequon family is safe after police and firefighters evacuated them from their home after several people fell ill with symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning Monday.
According to a news release from Mequon Police, police and firefighter personnel were dispatched to a home in the 11100 block of Lake Shore Lane after a person had fallen in the residence.
When they arrived, it was determined that there were four individuals in the residence that were experiencing the symptoms of possible carbon monoxide exposure. The homeowner said the heating system had been turned on earlier in the day for the first time this season.
Mequon ambulance along with mutual aid assistance from the North Shore Fire Department and Thiensville ambulance transported five adult patients to Milwaukee area to Milwaukee area hospitals for treatment.
The incident is under investigation by the Mequon Police and Fire Departments.

Kanye West and D'Angelo shine at BET awards
The latest Kanye West single and R&B artist D'Angelo both made appearances at last night's BET awards. The annual event, which began in 2001, was held in Los Angeles and hosted by Samuel L Jackson. D'Angelo, who has avoided TV appearances since the release of his last album in 2000, performed a medley of his hit single 'How Does It Feel' and new song 'Sugar Daddy', which is taken from his upcoming album.
Performances were also given by Chris Brown, and West's group G.O.O.D. music, who joined him for performances of upcoming single 'New God Flow' as well as 'Mercy' and 'Cold'.
West and Jay-Z were awarded best group for The Throne and Beyonce grabbed the best female artist award, while Nicky Minaj won best female hip-hop artist. During the awards, tribute performances were also made for both Donna Summers and Whitney Houston.
It's also worth watching the moment when Kanye West had his speech interrupted by Jay-Z...

In pursuit of that holy grail, executives and writers have apparently scoured the noticeboard at the local job centre. As a result, in the coming months we are about to clock on for series about removal men (Carlton's Moving Story), dustbinmen (Common as Muck from the BBC), lifeboatmen (BBC Wales's The Lifeboat), oil riggers (the BBC's Roughnecks), nannies (an as yet untitled drama from the BBC) and, starting tonight, customs-and-excise men (The Knock from LWT) - yes, really.
Is there any job they wouldn't make a drama out of, then? 'I'd never do my job - a TV exec would be death,' laughs Nick Elliott, managing director at LWT Programmes Ltd. Powell takes up the theme: 'The old list of 'don'ts' still applies - the media and showbiz. Drop the Dead Donkey was the exception.'
The escapist, American shoulder-pads series are a thing of the past, and the key is to find a job that strikes a chord with Joe and Josephine Public. 'The ones that never work are jobs beyond the ken of ordinary people in ordinary towns,' Elliott asserts, 'where they just don't have fashion designers or ad agencies. The series that work feature a job every town has - doctors, lawyers, policemen. The important thing is accessibility to a broad audience. For instance, headhunting is impossible to do successfully - it's a job that's just not in a world that ordinary people know. You pay the price for looking too thoroughly through the Yellow Pages for new jobs. The Life and Times of a Mortuary Attendant? I don't think so.'
Commissioning editors prefer to stick with the devils they know. 'No self-respecting scheduler is without a series about policemen or doctors,' Powell avers. 'These are the building-blocks of popular drama and exist in every country - quite right too.'
It is the stark black-and-whiteness of these jobs that appeals. Michael Wearing, head of series and serials at the BBC, points out that 'Life and death always help; you can't live without life and death. All the police and hospital dramas have that in the mix.' Elliott stresses that 'Doctors and policemen are the good guys. In those dramas, there's a good and a bad. There isn't that moral dilemma or warmth in headhunting or accountancy.'
The danger is that writers endlessly re-heat a successful recipe. Wearing receives about 100 drama proposals a week - many of which are Casualty Revisited or The Bill 2. 'You have to try to come at it with an attitude that the audience perceives as fresh,' Powell declares. 'That's why Cracker was so brilliant. I love Dr Finlay, too. As long as there's a range, it's nice to have those old friends around.'
Ultimately, though, perhaps it doesn't matter what the jobs are, so long as the characters are attractive; never mind the profession, feel the characterisation. 'The job's not the critical thing,' Powell says. 'It's merely people's lives in a working environment. People can see their own lives in those characters. Lovejoy was about antiques, but it wasn't about antiques - it was about a great rogueish character.' Coming soon - Lovejoy: the Oil Rig Years?
A full list of the jobs on which TV series have been based would occupy the entire Review. But here is a fair selection, which deliberately excludes policemen, firemen, doctors and nurses.
ACCOUNTANT: LWT's Nick Elliott asserts that 'A successful popular drama about accountants - or, for that matter, estate agents or insurance brokers - would be difficult.' A look at the ledger of TV history confirms that the closest we ever came was The Squirrels (ITV, 1974-76), set in the accounts department of a TV-rental firm.
ADMAN: Elliott says he often turns down proposals for series about admen. On the evidence of the sitcom Watch this Space (BBC, 1980) - starring Christopher Biggins, Liza Goddard and one Gillian Taylforth - he is right to do so. Campaign (BBC, 1988), with the RSC's Penny Downie delicious in the leading role of the harassed hotshot, at least brought satire to the account.
AGONY AUNT: Maureen Lipman solved everyone's problems except - surprise] - her own in LWT's Agony (1979-81). A good idea, and a great theme, couldn't stop her column hitting the spike.
ANTIQUES DEALER: Arthur Daley spawned a generation of loveable spivs - such as Del Boy Trotter in Only Fools and Horses (BBC, 1981 onwards) and Lovejoy (BBC, 1986 onwards), which Carlton's Jonathan Powell describes as 'Minder meets The Antiques Roadshow'. Never the Twain (ITV, 1981-91), a portrayal of the straighter end of the antiques trade, teamed the substantial talents (and girths) of Donald Sinden and Windsor Davies to decidedly non-humorous effect.
ASTROLOGIST: Crystal-ball gazers could have predicted the relative failure of dramatisations of their trade. In Zodiac (ITV, 1974), Anouska Hempel was an astrologist helping police with their enquiries. Moon and Son (BBC, 1992), with Millicent Martin, was similarly doomed.
AUCTIONEER: Elliott says he would never bid for a series set in an auction house. Under the Hammer (ITV, 1994) bore him out. Despite a script by John Mortimer and a cast headed by Richard Wilson, it was not a very desirable lot.
BARMAN: All the soaps feature a barman, but none rivals Sam (Ted Danson), star of Cheers (C4, 1983-93, and still repeating). Was there ever a workplace romance to equal that of Sam and Diane? Yes - that of Sam and Rebecca, which had an extra frisson because she was his boss.
BANK MANAGER: Boring in real life, boring on telly, if Joint Account (BBC, 1989-90) with Hannah Gordon is anything to go by.
BRICKIE: Cowboys (ITV, 1980) with Roy Kinnear and On the House (ITV, 1970-71) with John Junkin may be long-forgotten, but memories of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (ITV, 1983-86) live on. Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais's tale of itinerant Geordie builders (the actors had to undergo two weeks' training in bricklaying) was one of the most successful work-based dramas ever.
BUS DRIVER / CONDUCTOR / INSPECTOR: The Reg Varney vehicle On the Buses (LWT, 1970-75) proved that you can wait years for a good series about buses to come along - and still it doesn't appear. However, if you wait a very long time, it may become a cult.
BUSKER: One of the more ludicrous jobs ever to be dramatised, in Kindly Leave the Kerb (ITV, 1971). All together now: 'How many years must a show run for / Before you call it a hit?'
CABBIE: Taxi (BBC, 1980-82), an American import with Danny De Vito, drove at a comic pace never likely to be matched by the more recent Full Stretch (ITV, 1993) and Rides (BBC, 1992-93).
CHAUFFEUR: Predictable class-clash comedy propelled Home James (ITV, 1987-90), in which Jim Davidson made little pretence of acting.
CIVIL SERVANT: The only play to feature the profession in the title - The Naked Civil Servant (ITV, 1975) - was, of course, not about the job at all. The brilliantly named If It Moves, File It (BBC, 1970) and the brilliantly written Yes, Minister / Yes, Prime Minister (BBC, 1980-85, see under 'MP') were. Sir Humphrey has become a byword for civil-service slipperiness.
CLERGYMAN: Virtually all telly-clergy have been played by Derek Nimmo - cf, All Gas and Gaiters (BBC, 1966-70) and Oh Brother (BBC, 1968-70). Kenneth More (Father Brown, ITV, 1974) and Tom Bosley (Father Dowling Investigates, ITV, 1991 onwards) have manifested a devotion to holy sleuthing, while Richard Briers (All in Good Faith, ITV, 1985-86), Arthur Lowe (Bless Me Father, ITV, 1978-81), and Leslie Phillips and Donald Sinden (Our Man at St Mark's, ITV, 1963- 66) have also donned a dog-collar with varying degrees of conviction. Perhaps the most implausible of all was Richard Chamberlain as the smouldering Cardinal in The Thorn Birds (BBC, 1984).
DENTIST: Perhaps because of the bad image created by the feature films Marathon Man and Little Shop of Horrors, dentists have never had the same TV appeal as doctors. Although written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, Roots (ITV, 1981) was only funny to those under the influence of laughing-gas.
DJ: DJs have never been much fun on TV. Remember The Kit Curran Radio Show (ITV, 1984) with Denis Lawson? Exactly.
DOMESTIC STAFF: It's not only American audiences that lap up pictures of the British class system framed in the traditional stately home. George and the Dragon (ITV, 1966-68), Upstairs, Downstairs (ITV, 1970-75), The Duchess of Duke Street (BBC, 1976-77), Jeeves and Wooster (ITV, 1990-93), and You Rang M'Lord (BBC, 1990-93) have all fought the most genteel of class wars. The forthcoming House of Windsor (ITV) - a Royal below-stairs offering - should please frock-coat fetishists.
DRESSMAKER: Never mind the scripts, feel the costumes - viz, The Rag Trade (BBC, 1961-63; ITV, 1977-78) and House of Eliot (BBC, 1991-94).
DUSTBINMAN: Proof positive that if you think hard enough, you can dramatise any job. Jack Rosenthal - something of a specialist in job progs - dumped The Dustbinmen (ITV, 1969-70) on our doorsteps. It wasn't all rubbish. Now the BBC is doing the rounds with Common as Muck this autumn. Wearing reveals that it will be 'about recalcitrant waste-disposal people being rationalised; they're going through the same Birtian trauma as every other institution.'
FOOTBALLER: Dramatised sport tends to have an Eldorado effect on the ratings. 'It hardly ever works,' Elliott asserts. 'Horse-racing, which I love, I wouldn't touch (witness that old nag, Trainer). The exception is The Manageress (C4, 1989- 90), which worked because it was more about a woman in a man's world than sport.' The Gary Lineker-inspired All in the Game (ITV, 1993) was swiftly kicked into touch.
GAMESHOW HOST: Always a good opportunity for actors to go really over the top, meaning everything most sincerely. Consider Donald Churchill in Goodnight and God Bless (ITV, 1983), Rik Mayall in one of the Rik Mayall Presents series (ITV, 1993), and Chris Barrie in the forthcoming White Goods (ITV). Perhaps the most entertaining, though, was the Viz character Roger Mellie (C4, 1993).
HAIRDRESSER: Salon selectives include the likeable Desmonds (C4, 1989 onwards) and the dislikeable Split Ends (ITV, 1989).
HEADHUNTER: Headhunters (BBC, 1994), in which James Fox battled with the morality of executive recruitment and a very feeble script, is a contender for worst workplace drama - an impressive achievement in a competitive market.
HOLIDAY-CAMP WORKER: In addition to Hi- De-Hi (BBC, 1980-88), David Croft has been responsible for some of the best ensemble sitcoms, all with a work setting: Dad's Army (BBC, 1968- 77), It Ain't Half Hot Mum (BBC, 1973-81), You Rang M'Lord (all with Jimmy Perry), and Are You Being Served? (BBC, 1974-84, see Show People, page 31). With Jonathan Lynn, he also wrote 'Allo, 'Allo (1984-91), but we'll let that pass.
HOTELIER: Hotels have housed both the sublime - Fawlty Towers (BBC, 1975 & 1979) - and the ridiculous - Room Service (ITV, 1979), Hotel (ITV, 1983) and Westbeach (BBC, 1993).
INVESTMENT MANAGER: The stripy shirts and telephone-number salaries of Capital City (ITV, 1989-90) captured the late-Eighties Zeitgeist, but it was pretty silly.
JOURNALIST: 'Writers are always proposing journalists - we tend to turn them down,' says Powell. Elliott agrees: 'Journalists are the kiss of death. They and politicians and accountants come pretty low in people's esteem.' By common consent, only Lou Grant (BBC, 1977-81) and Drop the Dead Donkey (C4, 1991 onwards) have ever really grabbed the headlines.
LAWYER: TV has sold us more briefs than M & S. Excluding Rumpole of the Bailey (ITV, 1978-93), the best of an over-priced bunch have been American - Perry Mason (BBC, 1957-65) and LA Law (ITV, 1987 onwards).
LAVATORY ATTENDANT: In for a Penny (ITV, 1972) - possible subtitle: The Chain Gang - was never flush with success.
LIFEGUARD: It has been suggested that people only tune in to Baywatch (ITV, 1990 onwards) to see all those young actors and actresses larking about in swimsuits. In fact, of course, we watch to find out about lifesaving.
MILKMAN: Bottle Boys (ITV, 1984) with Robin Askwith is a never-remembered early-Eighties ITV sitcom. Another unreturned empty.
MOTELIER: Noele Gordon in Crossroads (ITV, 1964-88), of course. Twenty thousand actors and actresses passed through her portals in the show's 24-year run. The tacky sets, duff scripts and unreliable acting inspired Victoria Wood's glorious parody, Acorn Antiques.
MP: Yes, Minister (BBC, 1980-85) and The New Statesman (ITV, 1986 onwards) are the best parliamentary programmes - because they treat the job as a complete joke. No Job for a Lady (ITV, 1990-91), with Penelope Keith as a Labour MP, was voted out.
NANNY: Nanny (BBC, 1981-83) with Wendy Craig is to be followed later this year by an as yet unnamed series about 'the nanny mafia', as Wearing calls it. 'There is a range of possibilities as girls from all over the world are sent into this little crucible of middle-class England.' Will the BBC be left holding the baby?
NUNS: Body and Soul (ITV, 1993) was just the latest in a long line of novice ratings-grabbers.
PEST CONTROLLER: Mr Digby, Darling (ITV, 1969-71) was a sitcom set in the Rid-O-Rat pesticide company. It was soon put down.
PR: Absolutely Fabulous (BBC, 1993 onwards) contradicted Jonathan Powell's rule about showbiz and the media. And it was funny - for one series, at least.
REMOVAL MAN: Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper played the removal men from hell in It's Your Move (ITV, 1981). Now Jack Rosenthal has created Moving Story for Carlton. 'As you might say, all human life is here,' Powell claims. 'As with Casualty, they meet all different types in the course of their work . . . They philosophise and observe the rich tapestry of human nature.' Personally, I wouldn't let removal men anywhere near my rich tapestry.
RAG'N'BONE MAN: Steptoe and Son (BBC, 1964-73). Need I say more? Yes: Sandford and Son, its American spin-off.
SALVATION ARMY CAPTAIN: Dick Sharples' Hallelujah (ITV, 1983-84) starred the inevitable Thora Hird and her best Alan Bennett vowels.
SECURITY GUARD: Nightingales (C4, 1992 onwards) with Robert Lindsay and David Threlfall, and Plaza Patrol (ITV, 1991) with Cannon and Ball, tended to mirror the job a little too accurately: long stretches where nothing happened.
SHOP ASSISTANT / KEEPER: Shops provide a backdrop for a cornucopia of characters (look at their importance in soaps - so wickedly sent up in Acorn Antiques, and its spin-off, The Mall). Many of the series, however, operated under the philosophy of 'pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap': Are You Being Served? (see Show People, opposite), Harpers West One (ITV, 1961-63), Open All Hours (BBC, 1978-91), Tripper's Day (ITV, 1984).
SHIPPING WORKER: Shipping series have often foundered: cf, Howards' Way (BBC, 1985-90), and, most notably, Triangle (BBC, 1981) - ratings-wise, it was of the Bermuda variety. Wearing recalls it as one of the worst job dramas: 'I don't know if running a ferry qualifies as a bizarre occupation, but the result was certainly bizarre.' One scene sticks in the mind: Kate O'Mara lying on deck trying to get a tan in the teeth of a gale.
SOLDIER: A surprising number of classics have marched out of the parade-ground - from The Phil Silvers Show (BBC, 1955-58) and The Army Game (ITV, 1957-62), to Dad's Army (BBC, 1968- 77), M*A*S*H (BBC, 1972-84) and It Ain't Half Hot, Mum (BBC, 1973-81).
TEACHER: 'A lot of schoolteacher dramas come in every summer holiday,' confides Jonathan Powell. 'We have a special rejection letter for them.' With a couple of exceptions - Please Sir] with John Alderton (ITV, 1968-71) from the state sector, To Serve Them All My Days with John Duttine (BBC, 1980-81) among public schools - the best have tended to be aimed at children. Top of the class: Grange Hill (BBC, 1978 onwards).
THEATRICAL AGENT: Frank Stubbs Promotes (ITV, 1993), The Ten Percenters (ITV, from 18 Apr) and Very Big, Very Soon (ITV, 1991) all have the look of Minder by the back door.
TRAVEL AGENT: Viewers are demanding a one- way ticket for Men of the World (BBC, 1994).
TRUCKER: From Gerald Glaister, who brought you Howards' Way and Trainer (BBC, 1991-93), came The Brothers (BBC, 1972-73), a series on road haulage, again featuring the luckless Kate O'Mara. And Bob Hoskins played an illiterate lorry-driver in On the Move (BBC, 1976).
UNDERTAKER: You've gotta laugh, haven't you? Thora Hird starred in In Loving Memory (ITV, 1969, 1979-86), a series that proved that in the midst of death, there are few laughs. A grave undertaking, and about as funny as a funeral.
VET: The perfect job for a TV drama - a bit of doctoring, and 'aaahh-factor' animals - as in All Creatures Great and Small (BBC, 1971, 1979-90).
AND FINALLY . . . May I propose a TV drama about a calling that has never been done before: poaching. Feel free to steal the idea.

In 1987 he warned his clients to cash out before Black Monday on Wall Street. He made them handsome profits by forecasting the burst in the Japanese Bubble in 1990. He correctly predicted the collapse in US gaming stocks in 1993; and he foresaw the Asia-Pacific financial crisis of 1997/98 and the resulting global volatility.

I'm only using the localization part of the plugin and it works very well, the site becomes faster and consumes less memory.
All images had their permalink changed permanently and all images are now broken. Removing the plugin had no affect. Complete restore required.
I've deployed three WP sites on the rather new MediaTemple Premium WordPress service. It's been great so far and seems to be a better deal than the competing services like WPEngine and all, but they do a lot of custom caching so they disabled access to optimization plugins like Super Cache or W3 Total Cache.
One of the sites I'm managing has many images and photo galleries, so I wanted to move all that to a CDN, like MaxCDN. This plugin is pretty much the only one that truly works and supports WP 4.0. Also, two of the sites I was talking about are localized, so the option to use a faster translation is great! Bonus points for mentioning useful plugins, like the Debug Bar. I am a web developer by trade, but I don't interact with WordPress or PHP at all, so those were very helpful.
This is probably how plugins should be written: it does just a couple of things (localization improvements, image handling improvements and adds CDN support), but it does them well. Five stars.
Broke my images on my site when I tried to uninstall it. Now Every last image is showing {{wppp//}} in the url field for the image and renders as not found. Frustrating.
I logged this before but I do not see it, so here it is again.
What is the difference between FRONTEND and BACKEND please?
Excellent Plugin! I hope that you will continue to support it for a (very) long time. I am too with the bunch that don't understand all the potential of this plugin, but it surely helps. Thank you very much.
Although I didn't really understand all features and options, I give it 5 stars because it is very promising and will certainly be of great help for people running multilingual sites.
I'm not sure I understand all this plugin makes but if you use a non-english version of WP, give it a try: your admin will be faster.
Awesome! I was looking for ways to reduce the memory consumption of my sites, and your plugin has reduced on average 20mb in a BuddyPress site with plugins and add-ons for BuddyPress, and 25MB on a site with just a few caching plugins, SEO, among other.
PS: I liked the option of remove the translation of the dashboard

I've been given an early Christmas Present:
Permission to step out of the development cycle to reorganize and document our application.
I have complete freedom to restructure, refactor, and set up any amount of infrastructure I see fit.
If you had carte blanche, what's your "perfect" .NET development environment?
About the application:
VB.NET client-server application. (Windows Forms front end, ASPX Webservices back end)
Currently using Visual Studio and SQL Server 2003 and... Visual SourceSafe.
I'd like to have some combination of:
* Better versioning. (leaning towards Subversion)
* Wiki or other system for bug tracking and documentation. (leaning towards Trac with Subversion)
* Simplified build process and daily builds (Visual Build? CruiseControl.NET?)
* Version control for the SQL Server database
* Upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 (or 2008)?
... for a small team of 5 or so developers
