second, it's more interesting that's it a portable generator that's 'fun' to energize. I'm not too concerned about car windows in places that actually use kerosene lamps to light their homes.

the revolts and demonstrations, and even murdering of journalists, continues to get very little attention in the US media. Despite blogs, social media and video sharing sites being part of the vehicle of dissent. I wonder if mass media feel

thanx for the overview. Sounds like this falls into the same groups as LABJS and ControlJS to some degree. I don't really agree that putting the script tag in the head is a simple example. The tornado web docs, talk about loading script tag
