Kauai dairy farm plans to start with fewer cows
KOLOA, Kauai — Plans for a Kauai dairy farm are being modified in response to odor and other environmental concerns.
Hawaii Dairy Farms has modified its application to the state Department of Health, with plans for starting on a smaller scale with 650 to 699 cows, backers announced Friday. A phased approach will demonstrate how a grass-fed dairy is different than the traditional feedlot model, said Kyle Datta, general partner of investor Ulupono Initiative.
This means it's going to take longer to get to a full-scale operation of up to 2,000 cows. Ninety percent of Hawaii's milk comes from the mainland and Ulupono is eager to change that.
"Our commitment is to develop a sustainable farming operation in cooperation with the regulators to produce fresh, local milk for families across the state at prices everyone can afford," Datta said.
Even though the farm was never expected to begin with up to 2,000 cows, Datta said it's important to show the community the farm will practice responsible agriculture. "The community gets experience with that and then you expand further," he said.
The proposed farm design is a zero-discharge approach that includes environmental protections that exceed regulatory compliance, Datta said. Those elements include an effluent pond with increased storage capacity, an additional emergency containment berm and spillway, periodic water quality monitoring and expanded setbacks.
"We know some members of the community are concerned about the cow manure and there have been many issues raised based on fears," he said. "In fact, in pastoral systems, cow manure from dairies and ranches is broken down by biological organisms and turns into nutrients that feed the grass and create rich organic soil."
Meanwhile, a recent lawsuit by the owner of a Kauai report seeks to stop the dairy. Development should stop until developers prove it won't negatively affect the surrounding environment, said the lawsuit by Kawailoa Development, which owns Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa and the Poipu Bay Golf Course.
Attorneys for the farm are reviewing the lawsuit and will respond soon, Datta said.
Pending permits, construction is expected to begin next year, with milk production beginning in 2016.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Luis is 28 years old. He lives with his spouse, and he works in trade, selling belts and buckles on a wholesale and retail basis. Since he was a child, this activity has been his greatest skill, for which he has an impressive aptitude. Previously, Luis operated his business outside of an important shopping center in the south of the city, but he was relocated by the local state and he is now set up in a place designated to gather together the mobile vendors. He works from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. from Monday through Sunday, without resting. The competition in this field is intense, but they respect and support each other, and he works with a dedication to service which attracts his customers. His Kiva loan is the first financing he is undertaking with the Mario Santo Domingo, and he will use it to buy belts, buckles, and men's and women's accessories. He is taking advantage of the fact that the season is approaching in which families celebrate Mother's Day, Father's Day and Secretaries' Day, and during this season demand grows and sales increase. This will make his investment successful, and he will be able to increase his working capital slightly and serve his loyal customers. His most significant dream is to be able to have his own home and expand his microenterprise, and for that reason, he is exerting himself without stopping, so that his family will have the well-being he dreams of.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - North Park Uptown
by Salazar
Review: My vegan partner and I went there tonight, SO excited that a new vegan restaurant had opened in San Diego. Soon after we ordered we realized they were showing videos of horrific animal abuse on two huge wall mounted TVs. I'm talking cutting up live cattle, and other stuff I won't mention. It was surreal!! We jumped up and told the staff we couldn't bear to watch the images. They were apologetic, and one worker said "We don't usually have this video on at this time" whatever that means! Anyway, we took our food to go. I'm sorry to say it wasn't very good. Perhaps after the restaurant has been opened longer the food quality will improve. The workers were nice and insisted on giving us free dessert to make up for our horror, so I won't comment on the dessert's quality. On the other hand, the restaurant staff seemed really friendly and seemed genuinely apologetic for the offense we took at having gruesome animal abuse videos playing as we dined, though also a little surprised that we were offended. The restrooms and dining area looked very clean. It was beyond bizarre--how could the operators of a vegan restaurant possibly think that its patrons want to watch graphic scenes of animal abuse while they eat?

The Justice Reinvestment for Aboriginal Young People Campaign
Since 2012 ANTaR NSW has been working with a range of organisations to increase awareness and education in relation to the over representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people in the justice system in NSW.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Young People make up approximately 2.5% of the population of NSW but are approximately 50% of the incarcerated juvenile population and are 28 times more likely to receive a custodial sentence than non-Indigenous young people.
The Justice Reinvestment Campaign seeks to encourage the NSW Government to adopt a 'justice reinvestment' approach to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people at risk of entering the justice system.
ANTaR NSW is working as part of a collective of organisations in NSW to support the Campaign:
The Campaign is:
*Addressing the shameful over representation of Aboriginal young people in custody in NSW
*Seeking to create alternative pathways for Aboriginal young people and to build safer communities
*Supported by key organisations and individuals
*Calling on the NSW government to implement a justice reinvestment policy to address this over-representation as a matter of urgency

Capoeira and security: the view from upside-down. By Zoë Marriage
Through an account of capoeira, the Brazilian dance-fight-game, we uncover two simultaneous stories of security: first, the gradual monopolisation of violence by the state; second, a somatic, lyrical representation of a history of violence, oppression and liberation. Continue reading

What would you do if someone kicked you a meia lua de frente? Depending on where or from whom did you learn different esquivas will come to your mind. Some might even think about a more combative approach with a cabeçada or a rasteira as an 'answer' to that kick. Which one would be 'the right one' then? Is there such an absolute answer? I don't think so, for me most things in Capoeira are circumstantial, thus depending upon many variables. I was tell my students, however, that on a basic level, 'if it saved your face of a kick or your butt from a rasteira, you must have done something right regardless of how clumsy or elegant your movement was'.

Great fun!
About the Ticket Supplier: The Little Theatre of AlexandriaFounded in 1934, The Little Theatre of Alexandria began as a small play-reading group in Old Town Alexandria under the Presidency of Miss Mary Lindsey. Full productions ensued, and in 1939 the group bought a rickety former blacksmith's shop located in Ramsey Alley, between Lee and Fairfax streets, for rehearsal space and construction of sets and costumes. Since 1934, the theatre has mounted over 300 productions.
Today, LTA is the oldest award-winning theater in the Washington metro area and one of only a few community theaters in the country with its own building and an ambitious 7-show season. Proud of their rich heritage, LTA is excited about its future. They may be a little theater, but their expectations are gigantic.

Benefit is one of my absolute favourites for cosmetics, Benefit High Beam is part of my daily make-up routine and who doesn't drink Diet Coke? so accepted gladly the invitation to go along to the Benefit & Diet Coke 'Get Glam' evening last night.
Diet Coke is setting up a whole host of fashionable collaborations, You may remember that I judged the Diet Coke & ASOS competition late last year.
The evening started with drinking special edition cans of Diet coke – which if you buy, will allow you £5 off purchases made on www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk, and a presentation by Benefit Head MUA, Lisa Potter-Dixon. Lisa highlighted the individual styles of the three fictional Diet Coke girls (the dolls shown in the second to last photo above).
These looks included a Romance Look, a Fashionista Look and a Rock Chick Look. Lisa also told us a funny little story about the beginning of Benetint. Apparently a stripper wanted a stain to put on her nipples every night – now I have a whole new purpose for my bottle.
We could then choose one of the looks to have a mini make-over, I chose the Rock chick look. A the end of the evening we walked away with the finest goody bag I have every laid my hands on. Although it was a rather heavy walk back to the tube, I didn't mind, because inside I found Benetint, Posietint, Cha Cha tint, They're Real mascara, The Pore fessional, Gina, Lee lee and Bella fragrances and of course special edition cans of Diet Coke.

Wow you get invitied to all the best gigs!! Mind you I am patiently waiting for a top from Jarlo that I have ordered after finding out about them via you. x
I would love to go along to something like this, that goody bag looks brilliant x
Oh Benefit is my favourite, especially Benetint! That sounds like a really fab event!
I'll never look at Benetint in the same way again!!
Wow! That looks like so much fun! I bet it was a blast! I probably would have picked the Rocker Chick look, too! Although, the Romantic Look does remind me a lot of my ideal everyday makeup. Love the dolls they used too, how adorable!

Assay-ready screening plates seeded with high purity hESC-derived human cell populations
The directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to high purity cell populations provides tremendous promise for drug discovery. Drug screening involves application of hundreds of thousands of novel drug candidates, one at a time, into a single plastic well containing a cell population, in order to identify one drug that has a beneficial effect on the cell population. This field is severely limited by a lack of high purity human cells to use in the screens. To date, drug candidates are tested on non-human cells, or immortalized human cell lines that have extremely little similarity to a normal human cell. This leads to errors in the identification of candidate drugs, which in turn leads to an immense wastage of money, time and resources, as well as an increased risk to humans participating in the first human tests of the candidate drug. Thus, differentiated human cells in high purity would provide ideal alternatives to the use of non-human cells or immortalized human cell lines for drug discovery, allowing highly relevant human data collection early in the screening process. We have developed a method to generate one human spinal cord cell type, motor neuron progenitors (MNPs), in large quantity (billions per week) and extremely high-purity (>98%) from hESCs. Motor neurons are lost in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), spinal muscular atrophy, spinal cord injury, polio, and many other spinal cord diseases. Furthermore, we have seeded these high purity cells into 2 different models of conventional drug screening plates, containing either 96 or 384 wells, and validated a shipping system to ensure domestic or overseas shipment in a format that is ready to use. We have also developed methods to generate hESC-derived brain neuron cells and heart cells in large quantity (billions per week) and extremely high-purity (>98%), but we have not yet put these cells into drug screening wells. The overall goal of this program is to expand and optimize our 96 and 384 well drug screening programs to enable screening of millions of candidate drugs by the broader research and pharmaceutical communities. AIM 1 will optimize cell survival in the wells, consistency of the product, shipping, and quality control oversight for the application of MNPs to drug screening plates. AIM 2 will apply high purity human brain neuron cells to drug screening plates, then optimize as in AIM 1. AIM 3 will apply high purity human heart cells to drug screening plates, then optimize as in AIM 1. Ours is the first practical example of drug screening plates seeded with high purity human cells derived from any stem cell type. The optimization of this approach will provide an enabling hESC-based technology that will drastically decrease the hit to lead cycle time of drug discovery while providing a more relevant human safety profile.
The proposed research will benefit California by preserving and strengthening the State's position as a leader in the field of stem cell therapeutics. Through the passage of Proposition 71 and subsequent establishment of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the voters of California have identified stem cell research as a key area of focus for the state, with anticipated positive impacts including the creation of biotechnology jobs, attraction of leading researchers to California universities, creation of valuable intellectual property, and advancement of therapeutics beneficial to California residents. Our screening plate technology represents the first hESC-based drug discovery technology to have been commercialized in the world. Thus, this approach is the first to validate the State's support of stem cell research and its application. This program has already led to job creation, tax revenue and other financial and reputation benefits; its advancement will lead to more. Additionally, hundreds of California-based companies and academic laboratories stand to benefit from this product if its development is successful.

Somatotropin—also known as human growth hormone (HGH) or simply as growth hormone (GH)—is a polypeptide produced by somatotrope cells in the pituitary gland. It supports skeletal growth in children and adolescents, and plays a role in metabolism, body composition, muscle growth and tissue repair in adults. In addition to the somatotropin naturally produced by the body, a synthetic form of HGH called somatropin is available with a doctor's prescription. Certain health and bodybuilding supplements may also help increase somatotropin production through natural ingredients known as HGH releasers. Many of these ingredients can be found in the proprietary-blend formulas of Somatropinne HGH, Growth Factor Plus, HGH 30,000 Nanograms, A-MAX 50, and HGF MAX, among others.
Children and adolescents require somatotropin for proper growth and development; those with an HGH deficiency may require somatropin injections to achieve normal height. In adults, somatotropin helps maintain healthy tissues and organs. It can also increase bone density, muscle mass, and protein synthesis as well as decrease body fat and improve exercise capacity. Because HGH production naturally declines with age, some adults take somatotropin-boosting supplements to enhance their athletic performance and combat the physical signs of aging.
For most individuals, the primary source of somatotropin is the body's endogenous production by the somatotropic cells of the pituitary gland. The body produces its highest levels of somatotropin during childhood and adolescence; these levels significantly decline when the individual reaches full adult height. Scientists have also developed a synthetic form of somatotropin known as somatropin or somatrem, using E. coli or mammalian cells to create therapeutic proteins in a laboratory setting. Somatropin is chemically identical to the somatotropin that is produced by the pituitary gland and administered by subcutaneous injection. It is a regulated substance, which means it can only be legally prescribed for FDA-approved uses.
Since somatropin injections are not legally available to healthy adults, those seeking the benefits of somatotropin may opt to take natural supplements that are designed to boost the body's own HGH production. Certain amino acids are recognized as natural HGH releasers—including GABA, arginine, ornithine, glutamine, lysine, tyrosine and glycine—so dietary supplements containing these ingredients may help increase somatotropin levels.
The pituitary gland's secretion of somatotropin supports bodily growth and development throughout childhood and adolescence, so the most common reason for prescribing somatropin is to treat children and teens with HGH deficiency or specific medical conditions. FDA-approved pediatric uses of somatropin include idiopathic growth hormone deficiency, Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, chronic renal insufficiency, short stature homeobox-containing gene (SHOX) deficiency, and idiopathic short stature.
Although HGH levels naturally decline with age, somatotropin continues to play a role throughout adulthood—helping to regulate metabolism and protein synthesis and promoting organ, tissue and bone health. Somatropin may be legally prescribed to adults who have severe HGH deficiency, which normally occurs due to a pituitary adenoma (tumor) or adenoma-related surgery or radiation treatments. It is also sometimes prescribed to prevent or minimize wasting in AIDS patients.
Somatropin injections can improve bone density, muscle mass and exercise capacity in adults with HGH deficiency, and they can produce similar outcomes in healthy adults. As a result, some bodybuilders and athletes take somatropin to enhance their athletic performance and physique. However, it should be noted that somatropin cannot legally be prescribed for such purposes. Furthermore, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), International Olympic Committee and numerous sports organizations have banned the use of HGH injections among athletes.
Given the potential repercussions associated with illegal somatropin injections, many bodybuilders, athletes and aging adults have starting taking natural HGH supplements to help the body increase its own somatotropin production. Proponents of somatotropin-boosting supplements report that these natural HGH releasers have helped them develop lean muscle, improve their strength and endurance, and recover from intense workouts and injuries more quickly. They also credit HGH supplements with enhancing their body composition and slowing the visible signs of aging.
Individuals considering HGH injections should be aware of somatropin side effects and interactions. Some users have experienced an allergic reaction, with symptoms such as itching or rashes, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat. Other possible side effects include headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, fluid retention, swelling of the hands or feet, muscle stiffness or pain, and burning, tingling or numbness in the skin. Somatropin may increase the risk of developing diabetes, cancer or pancreatitis, and it can cause dislocation of the hipbone that results in limping or knee/hip pain. Interactions have been recorded when somatropin is used with estrogen hormone replacement or glucocorticoids (such as prednisone or hydrocortisone), and somatropin can cause adverse effects in patients with diabetes, scoliosis, kidney disease and certain other medical conditions.
Somatotropin-boosting HGH supplements tend to have fewer and less severe side effects than somatropin injections; however, the side effects and interactions will vary depending on the supplement's ingredients.
More detailed safety information on somatropin side effects, interactions and precautions can be found on the Mayo Clinic website. For natural somatotropin-boosting supplements, refer to the relevant ingredient articles on HGH.com to learn about potential side effects and interactions. As with any medication or health supplement, it is best to consult your physician before using somatropin injections or natural HGH supplements.
Researchers have conducted numerous studies on both the natural and synthetic forms of somatotropin. Visit the PubMed site sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore the latest somatotropin research and somatropin studies. For research on specific ingredients that have been shown to boost somatotropin levels, refer to the corresponding ingredient articles on the HGH.com blog.
You will discover there is a wealth of information on at HGH.com. We recently posted this related blog post on HGH/somatotropin: Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Benefits, Uses, Side Effects and Functions.

There are times when we all need that extra push, a reason to keep going or a kick-start as we begin our journey to achieve a new goal. We've been on the prowl for some great bodybuilding motivation to keep you going or to help you begin anew. What we found was some video encouragement. We discovered the best bodybuilders of 2015, one of the most talked about bodybuilding rivalries around, and six secrets to success for both bodybuilding and life. We also put together a special Bodybuilding Motivation Pinterest board with loads of pins to get you pumped.
Let's take a look at a few of the top contenders for 2015. You can see how they workout with such determination and dedicate their lives to be the best bodybuilders in the world. They do whatever it takes to be at the top and lead the way in the world of bodybuilding. Who motivates you to try harder and dig deep, so that you will join the incredible bodybuilders on this list?
Branch Warren "Quadrasaurus" Roelly Winklaar "The Beast" Kai Greene "The Predator" Hidetada Yamagishi "The Dragon" Victor Martinez "The Dominican Dominator" Dennis Wolf "The Big Bad Wolf" Phil Heath "The Gift"
How can you achieve more? What are the secrets to success? From his bodybuilding career to his stint with establishing an income with real estate to his success as a Hollywood actor to his time as a politician, Arnold Schwarzeneggar has had many notable successes in life. Schwarzeneggar shares his rules to success in life during his 2009 USC commencement speech. These six rules can be applied to your gym training, your bodybuilding efforts, at your job, with your family, for your favorite hobby or just in your everyday life.
Trust Yourself Break the Rules Don't be Afraid to Fail Don't Listen to the Naysayers Work Your Butt off Give Back
Over the past few years a rivalry has brewed between Phil Heath and Kai Greene. The Predator and The Gift go muscle to muscle in many competitions. Year after year, they've battled for the prestigious bodybuilding title of Mr. Olympia. And year after year, Phil Heath has won the title. Kai Greene has continued to get bigger and better. He doesn't give up and works harder to give it another try. Their special rivalry really came to a head during a rather intense Mr. Olympia 2014 press conference with some serious smack talk. Again, Phil Heath took home the title. Now, we just have to wait with anticipation until the Mr. Olympia 2015 competition to find out who will be the victor.

Wowz Sony does not let any bushes grow over it!
Hmm... i wonder if not updating will help... Something like Custom FW would be needed to play the new games...

Tavenui, you're the man I completely agree with you. People want to see this cracked for different reasons, some of which have more than one. I too don't see the point of limiting a console capable of so much more, other than that it's just good business. Think about the possibilities of a fully unlocked and unlimited PS3 Farm.
Yes, farms exist now, but the PS3s on those farms are still limited. I honestly don't really know what exactly could be accomplished with an unlimited capability farm, so if someone would please comment it would be much appreciated. Besides, all the needed reason should be "Free as in Freedom."
We have to respect the business model put forth by Sony, but we should still be allowed the freedom in respect to that. I guess it never goes hand in hand though?
Meh ... I just got lost in the third key to encrypt a key that ecrypted a key ... well I actually don't know.
But if they need to make such a security "plan", I just think the devs are in the right direction ... the whole PS3 Hack thing is!

"Don't look at it as exercise — instead, play games and have a ton of fun! The main thing is just to get outside every day and do something you think is fun. You can play sports like soccer, basketball, or badminton. You can play games like freeze tag or ride a bike or do running races with your friends or family. You can go on hikes with your family or go swimming or paddling. Do lots of different things, and again, focus on having fun, and doing it often." – Leo Babauta
You're a parent, so you don't have time to exercise, right? I can relate. But moving our bodies is a basic part of self-care. We can't talk about nurturing ourselves without figuring out a way to get physical.
We all feel a lot more energetic when we move and stretch. It changes the chemistry of our bodies so we're happier, more relaxed, and we burn more fat. We not only look better, we feel better -- and so we "act" better as parents. Exercise is the best stress reducer there is, after deep breathing and getting enough sleep. What more incentive do you need?
If you can motivate yourself to go out running, or to the gym, and you can leave the kids with your partner or trade off with a friend, you've got it covered. But if you're like the rest of us, you need to find fun ways to be active while you're WITH your children. Luckily, you have children to be active with, so you have a head start!
Kids love it when you play physically with them. It's a terrific way to add some connection and fun back into a relationship that too often deteriorates into correction and conflict. You don't need to tell your kids this exercising is for you -- they'll assume it's special family time! And if your child is spending too much time staring at screens, this is the best way to get her up and moving.
The secret is setting aside the time. Even ten minutes a day outside together is a great start during the week. On the weekend, you can plan an outing. Before you know it, you'll have worked up to 20 minutes daily, with an hour on weekend days. Sure, you'll skip some days. But if that's more exercise than you're getting now, read on.
Simply put your "Let's Get Physical" time on the calendar. Then, choose a fun activity that requires physical exertion. When you find something you love doing, do more of it. Soon you'll have a whole repertoire of family physical activity that makes you happy.
For instance:
For outings:
When you're working:
You won't believe how much ten minutes of movement daily will lift your mood. And when we feel good, it has an almost magical effect on our children. We have a lighter touch, and a sense of humor. We don't get triggered as easily. All of which makes our kids happier and more cooperative.
You're also getting your child hooked on an active lifestyle, which is a great counter-balance to all that screen-time in our lives. Kids who are physically active into the preteen and teen years are 75% less likely to be overweight when they're grown.
If you do this every single day, you'll all start looking forward to it. Way to nurture yourself and your child at the same time!

Church Lobbying Effective in NJ Same-Sex Marriage Debate
Colbert, Chuck, National Catholic Reporter
TRENTON, N.J. Even before the final vote tally, backers of a same-sex marriage bill in the New Jersey Senate knew it would fall short, cosponsor Sen. Loretta Weingberg, D-Teaneck, said following the Jan. 7 vote.
The bill needed 21 votes to pass; it garnered only 14, with a lone Republican supporter. Twenty senators voted against the measure, including six Democrats.
Key to the defeat of the measure, opponents and supporters agreed, was the lobbying effort mounted by the Catholic church.
"[The bishops] were critical," said Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak, D-Union, a Catholic and a lead sponsor of the bill. "They defeated it," he added. "The bishops lobbied lawmakers directly, getting people to make phone calls, send e-mails, arrange meetings with legislators. It was the most intensive lobbying by the Catholic church that I have ever seen."
For months the New Jersey bishops and their lobbying arm, the New Jersey Catholic Conference, spoke out against the same-sex marriage legislation--from the pulpit, in press releases, in statehouse testimony, and through more than 150,000 signatories on a petition against the measure.
The bishops also designated Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009, as a "day of prayer for the vocation and sacrament of marriage," saying that "society faces serious challenges" from proposed same-sex marriage legislation "that would change the definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman."
But the battle is not yet over, as gay marriage advocates vowed to fight on in state court.
"We're not waiting out the term of any new administration to bring equality to same-sex couples," Steven Goldstein, chairperson of the pro-gay marriage advocacy group Garden State Equality, told reporters following the vote. Goldstein was referring to incoming Republican Gov.-elect Chris Christie, who was to take office Jan. 19. Christie has made clear he opposes same-sex marriage and will "not sign a bill if it came to my desk."
In 2006, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled unanimously that same-sex couples must be treated equally under the state constitution. …

I know this may be a sensitive topic, but I could really use some good insight and support with this one . . .
I lost twins in January due to a cord accident and now have some health issues as a result. I am a believer, and was before this, but I find myself struggling with why . . . why did God take my babies? Why does God allow miscarriages, stillbirths, and deaths of babies/children to happen?
I believe my babies are very fortunate -- born directly into the hands of God, spending eternity in heaven without every having to deal with the pains and tribulations of live on earth, but I can't help but feel frustrated, sad, and empty since they are not with me.

24 and 50mm compatiblitiy questions
Hi guys,
I am trying to find out which 24mm and 50mm little primes are FX lenses. How do i tell?
And are they a waste of time on a d800 iq wise?
Im looking for something very small and light for the d800. I already have the 14`24 24`70 70`200 which is why something light would be cool to have. I would prefer 24mm but 50 1.4 sound interesting too.

Luang Prabang Future. These four girls were finishing school as I walk by. I asked them to pose by pointing the camera on them. One run away, but the 3 were ready. I quickly took this photo. The next was just few seconds later, but did not have the spontaneity. The Pionyr motto : Always Ready proven right again!!! ;-)
I was also a member of communist youth movement Pionyr, and still know the oath by heart after more then 50 years! ;-)

These Disney Princess Were Absolutely Terrible Role Models
The Princesses in Disney films are some of the most popular characters in the world. Little girls everywhere have at one time or another wanted to grow up to be one of the princesses, from singing songs with cute forest animals to marrying Prince Charming while wearing their amazing wedding gown. Snow White, Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella and the rest are considered role models, but has any one taken the time to look behind the dough eyes and catchy songs? Could it be that these adored characters are nothing more than anti-feminist propaganda? This list will show some reasons that you might not want your little girl to grow up to be a Disney Princess.
The Disney Princesses used in this list are the current lineup of "official" Disney princesses. Other Disney heroines like Alice (Alice in Wonderland), Princess Kida (Atlantis: The Lost Empire), Nala (The Lion King), etc. have not been reviewed, so please do not feel slighted because Megara or Esmeralda did not make the list and you believe they are worse role models than those present.
And just in case you think it couldn't get any worse, check out Ranker's list of Racist Disney Cartoons.

City Planner: Weekend Edition (10/21-22)
David Sedaris @ Orpheum
class=img_thumbleft>Fromtoday's A-List
: "Besides the hilariousness of David Sedaris, I can't think of anything in the cultural world that my four parents, sundry friends, and all my cousins (Republicans and Democrats alike) agree on. He's a point of American consensus free of a 'point,' so naturally there's a backlash. But even if you suspect that the memoirist and public radio commentator has been blessed with unusually good material in his too-weird-for-sitcom family (and judging from his sister,Strangers with Candy
star Amy Sedaris, he has), there's a real art to his gliding irritability. His version of real people, even himself, can't be the whole story, yet he rarely seems to fudge for anything but a focused laugh (he reaches for those punch lines). Sedaris enjoys his own smallness and discomfort without celebrating it. Like a quieter, literary version of Larry David inCurb Your Enthusiasm
, he's a man of the people--just on his own, very specific terms.

I want to control Network manager from the command-line. This worked well enough in Ubuntu 10.04 (with cnetworkmanager, nmcli is another possible choice).
Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 however, a D-Bus exception is raised when I attempt to activate a connection from within a SSH terminal:
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.PermissionDenied: Not authorized to control networking.
It may have to do with /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf; where else to look for a clue ?
