dumbly simple debug output ... Just replace VARIABLENAME with the name (without the $) of the variable (probably an array) you want to see the contents of
// Begin Debug Output
echo "Debug Output for VARIABLENAME:<br><pre>";
var_dump($VARIABLENAME);
echo "</pre><br>End of debug output.";
// End Debug Output

Rake task to switch sites that Pow serves
# This is for instances where a single Rails app serves multiple domains.
# That is, http://domainA.com and http://domainB.com are both served by the same Rails app.
# When launching these manually, I specify which site I want to see by passing a site variable:
# site=domainB ruby script/server
# This gist allows site switching via a rake task:
# rake pow[SITENAME]
# If no '[SITENAME]' is provided, then it defaults to the 'domainA' site

Watch the Rails log for just Rendered or Completed lines (useful for optimization work)
tail -f log/development.log | grep 'Rendered\|Completed'
