Remember to back up your site and your database prior to upgrading.Even though your web host probably has backups of its server, It can take a while to get them.

We live in a world where technological advances are mind blowing and increasing at break neck speed. But a world where we still solve our differences by hurling chunks of metal at each other.

The solutions for a better tomorrow will not be with those who hoard the abundance of the earth, but with those who share it with other.

Most Precious Gift?

My friend Sherry Cosmos asked a question on Facebook, “Do you know the greatest gift?” As I read through the beautiful responses including Love, the unconditional love of a child, life, friends and family, etc I pondered. Yes, all these are beautiful. The one thing that was missing was time. Our most limited and most precious gift. Read more at ramartijr.wordpress.com

Peace- It starts inside each of us. When we blame others, we place our power in their hands. When we take personal responsibility, we rightfully claim our own power.How will you reclaim your strength this holiday season?

Between 1981 and 2007 25 million people have died from Aids. Today there are an estimated 33 million people living with this disease making it one of the worst epidemics in history.
We have come far in slowing the spread in many countries, but we have a long way to go toward eradicating this terrible disease.,

Economy: We Must Understand Before We Can Fix

The Us Government can not and should not be run like a business. Businesses, States and individuals operate under the system while the federal government keeps things in balance. Many of the problems in our economy stem from the fact that people managing it are operating on underlying assumptions that are wrong. Forcing the gov't to operate like a business is like forcing a referee in a game to play by the same rules as the players.

You can learn more about how the money supply works in a book called "The Seven Deadly Innocent Frauds of Economic Policy" written by Warren Mosler. In this book, Mr Mosler explains how things work in a way that will open the eyes of the people actually making policy and effectively negates the arguments of opposing ideas in Washington by challenging the foundations they are built upon.

U.S. pays as Prudential invests troop death benefits

After a service member dies in combat - including the more than 4,000 who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan - the Department of Veterans Affairs sends Prudential the full amount of each family's life insurance coverage, usually $400,000. Read more at www.washingtonpost.com
