"I was very mature and calm and rational," Dakota Fanning says of her six-year-old self. "My mum was calling me from across the playground, so I jumped from the climbing frame and ran over." Dakota had already starred in ER, CSI, Malcolm In The Middle and Ally McBeal. Now her agent was on the line and she had a choice to make: a lead role in a TV series (the short-lived Fighting Fitzgeralds), or to play Sean Penn's daughter in a film called I Am Sam.
She took Penn's offer and beat Haley Joel Osment and Daniel Radcliffe to best young actor at the Critics Choice awards that winter. Orlando Bloom held her in the air so she could reach the microphone. She spoke with total composure for more than two minutes. "I want to thank God for all of the things he has given me," she said, her legs dangling, "and for the best agents in the world."
Dakota is now 20 and about to start her senior year at New York University, where she is majoring in women's studies, with a focus on the portrayal of women in film and culture. "If I'm going to do both, it might be helpful for one to inform the other," she says. She's still working furiously. On top of the dissertation she's writing on Bette Davis – "I'm told we have similar eyes, so I'm drawn to her," she says hesitantly, perhaps realising it sounds a little narcissistic – she has four films released this year. In fact, she's averaged four films a year since starting university, and has another four slated for next year.
Despite spending most of her life making movies, however, she's surprisingly independently minded. "Dakota won't let you do anything for her and she is adamant about that," says Kelly Reichardt, the director of her latest film, Night Moves. "That's very unusual for someone that's been acting for so much of her childhood." Likewise, her "process" is unusual, too. "She didn't want to rehearse before we shot the film," adds Reichardt. "I sent her a whole box of research material outlining who her character was before we started shooting, but she told me she never even opened it. I have no idea how she got the character [as well as] she did, and she didn't like it when I asked her." It must be unusual for a young actor to take that attitude with a director… "Yes it is," agrees Reichardt, who's also directed Meek's Cutoff and Wendy And Lucy. "She is very much her own thing."
Yet Fanning is brilliant in Night Moves as Dena, a trust-fund college girl turned environmental terrorist who – along with Jesse Eisenberg's Josh and Peter Sarsgaard's Harmon – plots to blow up a dam in an Oregon nature reserve. Jesse's Josh remains predictably terse and nervous and Sarsgaard's Harmon fuelled by bravado, but Fanning goes from being an idealistic accomplice to a steely, even cunning, influence. She makes us root for a girl about to commit a reckless crime. And then, after it's done, she makes us feel for her.
"I can understand being a young person and wanting to do something that has immediate effects," she says when asked if she sympathised with her character. "I think my generation is obsessed with instant gratification. We want everything now, now, now. I can understand feeling invincible, and wanting to do radical things because you have that confidence. I'm not going to do anything like that, but I can see where it comes from." So she's not stockpiling ammonium nitrate under her bed? "Can you imagine?" she laughs. "I was thinking when we were filming the scene, 'What if I were actually an environmental activist who had this elaborate plan to blow up a dam, and was just pretending to be an actress?'"
That would be quite an elaborate plan, considering the length and breadth of her career so far. Fanning was born in Conyers, Georgia, and raised as a southern Baptist by her mum Heather Joy, a professional tennis player, and dad, Steve, a minor-league baseball player turned salesman. Dakota play-acted constantly and, when her drama teacher convinced Steve and Heather of their child's ability, the family moved to LA for pilot season. I Am Sam launched her and, by the age of 10, she was sharing the screen with Denzel Washington in Tony Scott's Man On Fire.
A year later, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg came calling with their adaptation of War Of The Worlds. From there, Fanning went straight on to Charlotte's Web, the Hollywood version of the classic children's book. She made her only real mistake with Hounddog, a terribly misjudged southern gothic thriller in which her character is brutally raped. "Fanning's willingness to please appears to have been grossly exploited," wrote Time Out New York. Her parents copped a lot of criticism and the film sparked a national, prurient debate. Despite the outcry, her career never suffered. As a 13-year-old, Fanning was earning more than $4m a year, according to Forbes, and that was before she joined her best friend Kristen Stewart and the then-unheard-of Robert Pattinson on the Twilight series. Fanning now has 55 acting credits to her name, with parts in over 30 feature films. She was educated on film sets, with a teacher travelling everywhere for three-hour-a-day sessions. She's moved seamlessly into more adult roles, and will soon be seen leading the sexually explicit period drama Effie, a film written by and starring Emma Thompson, about the Victorian art critic John Ruskin and his teenage bride Effie Gray. She admits to disliking the fame that defined her childhood. "Being a known person is pretty much all I've known," she says. "I don't remember much of a time when people didn't know who I was. But you grow up and think about things differently, and you realise how strange fame is. If I can achieve it, I don't want anyone to know anything about me."
She's particularly interested in how the star system that worshipped its idols has been replaced by an industry intent on bringing them down. "There was so much mystery in the movies back then," she says of Bette Davis's time. "Some of that mystery has gone. I'm trying to work out what happened. Why do we need to know everything about everyone?"
She sounds earnest but Reichardt confirms that Fanning is actually incredibly down to earth: "As a director, you have to deal with actors' agents a lot, and they're always very, very demanding on behalf of their clients. When the actor actually shows up, you never know what you're going to get, and sometimes the actors are more demanding than their agent. In Dakota's case, she couldn't have been more a part of the film. She stayed in the same motel as the crew, ate the same food. She would put the laundry on. It seems clear that at some point she made a very conscious decision that she wasn't going to separate herself from the small chores and hassles of life, which she could do very easily if she wanted to. And that shows, I think, in her acting."
On the first day of filming, Reichardt shot the film's most dramatic scene, when Fanning, Eisenberg and Sarsgaard place their loaded speedboat at the foot of the dam. The scene took 12 hours to complete in the cold and rain, and Fanning had to hunker down in the metal canoe for the entirety of it. She looks on the edge of tears, but contained, strangely composed. "She was perfect in that scene," Reichardt confirms. "She just knew what to do. She cried after we wrapped the scene, and I immediately felt like I knew her."
When I ask Fanning about this, her voice doesn't waver. "It was a magical experience for me," she says. "Film-making is about being in a canoe at four in the morning in the middle of the lake, with strangers that become your best friends for the shortest time."
Night Moves is in UK cinemas on 29 Aug

Thousands of families were today waking up to a cold and wet Christmas Day after storms caused widespread flooding and power failures across Britain.
Scores of homes have been left under water and tens of thousands will endure a Christmas Day without electricity after torrential rain lashed the country.
The Coastguard rescued 76 people from a caravan park that was flooded by the River Medway at Yalding in Kent last night.
Travellers trying to get home on Christmas Eve also battled treacherous conditions on the roads and suffered major delays as the rail network was brought to its knees.
There was chaos at Gatwick Airport in West Sussex after a power cut at the North Terminal led to cancellations and delays, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. The airport said last night normal service would resume today.
Five people have have also died in the last three days because of the violent weather.
The Coastguard, operating outside its area of jurisdiction, joined Kent Fire and Rescue to rescue people from the Little Venice Caravan and Marina Park in Yalding after rising waters from the River Medway cut them off.
Rescuers checked caravans and helped residents to leave by boat and 4x4 vehicles.
By 8pm the water was chest deep, the Coastguard said, and a helicopter was brought in as a precaution while the last 21 people were led to safety from rising flood waters and listing caravans.
Around 75,000 homes across the UK are still without power, the Energy Networks Association said, and engineers were working through the night to get provision running for Christmas Day.
The Environment Agency (EA) said that by last night 150 properties had been flooded in England, mainly in the south and focused in Surrey and Kent, with numbers expected to rise.
Firefighters in the two counties broke a five-hour nationwide strike last night to help deal with the effects of the storms.
In Surrey residents were evacuated from their homes in Dorking, Leatherhead and Guildford, while more evacuations occurred in Tonbridge, Kent.
Some 40 properties were evacuated in Godalming because of concerns over the height of the River Wey, Surrey Police said, and a rest centre was set up for residents.
In the Mole Valley evacuations took place in Leatherhead and Dorking after the River Mole burst its banks in several areas.
Police said the Flanchford Bridge over the River Mole near Reigate had collapsed, but no one was injured.
A severe flood warning, warning of danger to life, remains in place for the river at Leatherhead and Fetcham in Surrey after it rose to record-breaking levels late last night. Levels are now beginning to fall, the EA said.
Roads were also closed in Guildford and Old Woking in Surrey, police said. Surrey Fire and Rescue said last night that it was dealing with "many rescues" because of the flooding.
The EA this morning had almost 130 flood warnings across England and Wales, mainly in the South East, the South West and the Midlands. A further 226 flood alerts were also in place, with 90 in the South East alone.
The flooding will leave Christmas cancelled for many people. Gary Button, manager of the Old Mill Hotel in Batheaston near Bath, told the BBC he had to cancel more than 50 Christmas dinners after the River Avon flooded the property.
Thousands of people have had their Christmas plans ruined by the storms, and many face the festive period without power.
UK Power Networks said yesterday it would pay for Christmas dinner in local pubs or restaurants for people whose supplies remain cut off, and is appealing for owners in affected areas to come forward if they have room.
Southern Electric restored power to thousands of homes, but said around 19,500 customers would be without power overnight.
Jonny Swift, from Crawley in Sussex, told the BBC: "Power off since 2345 Monday night, been told by UK Power not to expect the power to be back on until Boxing Day at the earliest.
"Not a very Merry Christmas for the family this year but thanks to very kind friends we will have Christmas lunch tomorrow, the Christmas spirit alive and well in West Sussex."
John Townsend, who lives near Haywards Heath in West Sussex, said: "My village has been without power for 24 hours. There was going to be emergency generators but the cables to connect were stolen.
"So metal thieves have ruined our Christmas and it seems we won't have power until Boxing Day."
Flooding on the River Mole affected substations at Gatwick Airport and led to power cuts in parts of the North Terminal, causing 36 flights to be cancelled.
Police had to be called after furious passengers vented their frustrations at lengthy delays, with many stranded and left waiting in terminals for many hours with little information from airlines.
Tim Christie, from Clapham Junction, told the BBC he got home at 1am today, more than 16 hours after his flight was meant to depart.
He said: "Was meant to fly at 8.30am. We had no communication all day from easyJet as to anything that was happening.
"When our flights were finally cancelled we struggle to find any easyJet employees to offer assistance. It really was a disorganised shambles, a disaster from start to finish, we only wanted information and to travel ultimately to Belfast.
"Tonight we are not home with close family and loved ones, but I guess we have our health and life goes on."
An airport spokesman said today there were still power cuts at the North Terminal, causing delays, and that it would be operating a full service on Christmas Day, with all departures from the South Terminal apart from British Airways.
Those travelling home for Christmas yesterday faced chaos on the railways, roads and seaways.
There was major disruption across the rail network as services were delayed and cancelled across the country.
Network Rail said more than 200 trees had come down on lines in 24 hours, and it had to deal with a further 100 major incidents.
On the roads, many major routes were flooded or blocked, with Kent, Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Cornwall among affected counties.
In Dorset fire crews had to rescue 25 people trapped in their cars by flood water.
Fire crews have rescued one adult and three children from a car stuck in floodwater in Podimore, Yeovil in Somerset.
The Port of Dover was also closed for much of Monday night.
Five people have died in the bad weather.
A man whose body was pulled from the fast-flowing River Rothesay in Ambleside, Cumbria on Monday was named as Simon Martindale, 48, of Hest Bank, Lancaster.
A woman died in a river in Gwynedd, North Wales, on Monday, another was killed in a car accident in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and a man died in a crash near Bodmin, Cornwall on Sunday night.
A man also died after being taken to hospital with serious injuries after he jumped into a fast-flowing river to rescue his dog.
Witnesses saw the 46-year-old being swept away after he leapt into the River Lemon in Newton Abbot, Devon, at 11.15am yesterday. The dog managed to escape from the water unharmed.
Winds are expected to ease today, before heavy rain and gales pick up again on Friday.

After months of failed negotiations, the United States Congress saved the nation from the so-called "fiscal cliff" late Tuesday evening as the House of Representatives passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 with a final vote of 257 to 167, averting automatic tax increases and indiscriminate spending cuts.
Current Benefits
One noted benefit of the legislation's passing is the extension of the American Opportunity Tax Credit through 2017.

Asante Samuel must be having himself a good laugh over the current panic in Philadelphia. The Eagles shipped Samuel to the Falcons during the offseason for just a seventh-round pick, which the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane said at the time was due to the cornerback falling out of favor with head coach Any Reid, who reportedly thought Samuel was in "steep decline." Apparently, those words stuck with Samuel, whose Falcons are now 6-0. On Tuesday, the four-time Pro Bowler seemed to jab at Reid on Twitter upon hearing the news that the Eagles fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo. Samuel sent out the following tweets.

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.
He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.
What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africafor centuries until the British ended it.
Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.
It's something Hillary doesn't understand – how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.
Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.
Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.
He is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.
And yet he got elected, not once but twice. Thanks to those that did not think it was important to vote for freedom and those that were willing to give up their freedoms for entitlements.
Remember you don't have to be on a southern plantation to be a slave, if you are dependent on government entitlements you just have a different slave owner.
I love two genres of music, classical and classic rock. One of my favorite classic rock bands is the group Styx and one of my favorite songs of theirs is "Grand Illusion". However, in the case of what we have seen post the 2016 presidential election through the inauguration of President Donald Trump, it appears the progressive socialist left is operating under a grand delusion.
In 2009, the progressive left embarked upon an ideological agenda evidencing a serious delusion and disconnection with America. Instead of focusing on two simple issues, economic growth and national security, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and their acolytes engaged a direction for America that was not rooted in sound policy, but their interpretation of "fairness".
The first case of delusion was to try and make the American people believe that Keynesian economic policy, tax and spend, was still viable. First thing out of the gate was a massive $1 trillion stimulus package that was centered upon what was termed "shovel ready jobs". It was a matter of huge embarrassment when Obama sat on a stage with his economic council stating, "I guess shovel ready was not exactly ready". The fact that Obama did so with a laugh and smirk was a slap in the face of the American taxpayer.
Obama in his eight years focused more on wealth redistribution, you know, we all do better when we "spread the wealth around". Furthermore, Obama made the seminal statement which presented a window into the mindset of the progressive left when he stated, "if you own a business, you didn't build that". There could be no more disrespectful, delusional, assertion directed towards the hard working American and their indomitable entrepreneurial spirit. Obama and his disciples of economic disaster failed to grasp the concept that economic growth emanates not from Washington DC, but rather from the policies that unleash American investment, ingenuity, and innovation…along with production and manufacturing.
Due to his far left intransigent ideology, Obama sought not to get Americans back to work. His design was to expand the welfare nanny state of government dependency. The result of this delusion was our national debt going from $10.67T to $20T. We have exploded our food stamp and poverty rolls, and we have suffered the lowest workforce participation rate in some 40 years.
Second, Obama and the left sought to use effective free market policy to improve the healthcare situation in America. Instead, they believed there was a mandate to do what they had always wanted, push a government-driven healthcare system. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act a.k.a "Obamacare" was nothing more than a domestic wealth redistribution scheme, with some twenty new taxes. It spanned to gamut from increases in capital gains and dividends taxes to creation of an individual and employer mandate tax along with medical device and taxes on health savings accounts.
Obama said that there would be on average $2500 of savings and that you would be able to keep your doctor and insurance. The latter was awarded by Politifact as the "Lie of the Year", 2013, funny, the year after Obama's reelection…and he promised Vladimir Putin more flexibility. The American people in October 2016 did not see savings, they saw massive increases in their health insurance premiums, the result of the delusion of redistribution of healthcare. Obamacare turned out to be nothing more than a huge expansion of Medicaid. It proved unaffordable and did not provide protection for patients, but a segment of people got something for free. A rational policy approach would have meant Obama and his team focused on the real issue, but they overreached. And as Nancy Pelosi said, "we have to pass the bill, in order to find out what was in it", a true example of delusion.
Third, Obama departed the White House trying to have us buy into his delusion by stating that on his watch there had not been a terrorist organization attack. He left still embracing the line that Ft. Hood was the result of "workplace violence", and he commuted the sentence of one who had leaked over 700,000 classified documents – where some had died as a result of HIS nefarious actions.
Obama and the left could never articulate that the non-state, non-uniform unlawful enemy combatants we face on the 21st-century battlefield are Islamic terrorists and jihadists. Obama was more interested in freeing them under the delusion that their being detained in GITMO was an impetus of their hate and a recruiting tool. Instances of Islamic terrorist attacks on our soil were attributed to the lawful ownership of guns by law-abiding Americans. And the left, aided by the complicit liberal progressive media, tried to castigate those who understood this enemy as "islamophobes" – a moniker created by an Islamic organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
I could go on about other critical issues, like a lack of focus on our border security leading to deaths of Americans like Kate Steinle.
The overarching issue is that we are watching the progressive left continue to wrap themselves in their own delusion. This past weekend there were marches focused on women's rights. Where were those voices when Christian and Yazidi girls were being raped and sold as [Blank Post] slaves by ISIS – that group Obama called the JV team, which was not Islamic. If this is about misogyny, where were those voices reference Bill Clinton regularly being welcomed as an "elder statesman" of the Democrat party?
More violence, threats, intimidation, rantings, protests, denigrating, disparaging, and demeaning language from the left will not win folks over to their cause. It will only further distance them from the America that has rejected and repudiated them, the electoral losses of the past eight years is evidence.
The delusion of the progressive left is that they are not conducting a self-analysis or assessment. Their way did not advance economic growth or national security. Albert Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing, and expect different results". Einstein's definition certainly befits the grand delusion of the progressive left.
In May, President Obama told the public schools of America they had to allow students to let males who identify as females to use the restroom of their choice, and vice versa. Christian groups immediately expressed their concerns and several states filed lawsuits against the administration.
Even some feminist groups said the law went too far and would be harmful to women.
Amidst the challenges to the bathroom directive, a Texas judge enforced a nationwide injunction to put a halt to it. An appeals court was expected to hear a request to limit the injunction on Tuesday, but it has been withdrawn by the Trump White House.
The conservative Family Research Council commended the Justice Department's effort to stop the "indefensible edict."
"The writing was on the wall in this case," FRC President Tony Perkins said in a statement on Monday. "The Obama administration went way beyond the limits of its constitutional and statutory authority to rewrite laws legally adopted by Congress. The federal government has no authority to strip parents and local school districts of the right to provide a safe learning environment for children by forcing them to adopt controversial shower and bathroom policies."

Only about 40 minutes worth of content and...
The author made the same points over and over again. If another section of the text referenced an idea he brought up already, he just wrote about it again. Sometimes using the same phrasing, like he didn't realize he'd already covered it. This book was a bit basic for me. The fundamentals are good for anyone, but it's not entirely practical in its methods of earning money via blogging. And the shameless self-promotion got old really fast.
Instruction/education - you win some, you lose some.
He read slowly, almost like he was milking it. He was very clear and articulate, just painfully slow. And when you read a URL, you really don't need to read, "H, T, T, P, colon, slash, slash"
If the reviews are in a Q & A for format, there should really be distinctions between fiction and non-fiction.

Canadians are praying for climate justice every hour of the COP21 climate change talks in Paris.
What do we pray for? We pray for Canadian leadership to act with boldness, compassion, and fairness at the Paris negotiations. We pray that international leaders will agree on international emissions reductions targets that will limit climate change. We pray for an international agreement that will meaningfully help developing nations and island states anticipate and adapt to climate change. We pray for those across Canada and the world who are, and will be, displaced from their homes, exposed to violence, and threatened by hunger because of climate change.
Climate change presents us with a moral challenge that calls upon the spiritual resources and action of all of our faithful communities. ~Joe Gunn, Executive Director of CPJ
What's expected of you? Pray however you are comfortable. An hour of Prayers for COP21 in Paris can be offered by one person in their bedroom, a family around a candle in the living room, a congregation gathered in a sanctuary, or a group of friends going for a walk in the park -- it's up to you!
Together we pray for climate justice.
The prayer chain is filled! But please join us in prayer from wherever you are, and know that you are in the company of faithful Christians across the nation!

CPJ has compiled an package of Prayers for COP21 in Paris worship resources that can be used as part of Sunday services in the lead-up to Paris, and in particular, on Sunday, November 29, 2015 (the first Sunday of Advent and the eve of the Paris negotiations). Materials also support worship, learning, action, and engagement on climate change. All are centered on responding to God's call to faithfully support the flourishing of creation.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 671395
RFE: Support for FreeIPA v2 in authconfig
Last modified: 2011-09-08 04:36:46 EDT
Description of problem:
Fedora 15 will have a new feature, FreeIPA v2. Support for this centralized identity and authentication server will need to be added to authconfig to make it simple to configure.
Unlike FreeIPA v1 or other standard LDAP servers, FreeIPA v2 setup will require invoking the ipa-join command to set up a host principal for the machine to connect to the server.
Can you please specify what the authconfig should do in more detail here?

- About
Poison was the weapon of choice for murderesses during the nineteenth century, with arsenic implicated in nearly a third of all criminal cases in Victorian Britain. It is not surprising, then, that the story of Rosamund, mistress of Henry II of England, resonated with artists and poets during this period. According to legend, Henry created a secret garden for Rosamund, accessible only by a maze on his property at Oxfordshire. The garden was discovered by the king's wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, who then poisoned Rosamund. Here, Hughes uses deadly foxgloves to symbolise the unfolding narrative.—text from Fashion Detective (May 2014)

Poor guy, I was just reminded of a fml story where a girl "playfully" pushed her boyfriend off the boat and the ring he was going to propose with got lost into the lake.
Hahaha, I assume they were a couple. Cute. I like the sounds. Hum, did she not like the whistling... LOL and she didn't share the fooood hahaha.
uhh confused
it seems alot of other people are to not to be mean or anything why did you just put in words instead of symbols also why was the part where they were in the car and she ask did you lock the door (at least thats what i think she was asking) important to the story but anyways why was she mad i mean (i think) she was preparing there lunch on the boat and he was just going to fish so she throws him overboard wtf ill give you a 5 and a 7 it was good animation just you should use words not symbols ^_^
tell me again?
I'm sorry, but I have no idea what just happened. The guy didn't lock the house so they go fishing and the girl smacks him because why?
I thought your backgrounds were nice, but the characters didn't match the rest of your style. Also, that overused sound got annoying.
^^ ^^ ^^
This is cooler than the other one! Way to go!
Thats good..but..
i dont really get it.

Little Arches is not bad. Not great but not bad. Poor to fair furniture, NO INTERNET as she claims, (it just doesn't work so plan accordingly). It's an average fair home, no thrills, not fancy but clean and its main attraction is it is literally a 2 min walk to a gorgeous beach. It is very moldy and smells like mildew though so beware if you have allergies. One thing I HIGHLY recommend if renting at Little Arches is to BARGAIN the price down. EVERYTHING here is horrifically over priced, Im talking 5 star prices but 1 to 2 star food and 1 to 2 star accommodations. And I am from LA and NYC so I am used to paying a lot, but here we have been paying more then we would pay in Los Angeles for crap food. (Tonight we went to a local bar and had two tapas and one glass of wine, our bill was $50 US dollars and the tapas were literally store bought pita chips and hummus and tomatoes). At Little Arches we rented the studio villa for $1200 for a week from December 17 to December 26th after doing some bargaining. It is very strange though because I called around to a lot of the other hotels and they all claimed to be fully fully booked and either had no accommidations or did for astronomical amounts, yet the island is completely a ghost town. There are very few other people around, which makes for a lovely secluded vacation if that what you are looking for that, but a super boring if you are not. Harbour Island restaurant's are very very pricy so unless you don't mind or plan to not eat at them I would recommend going else where or bringing your own food. The average price point is $30-50 per plate. My boyfriend and I average meals are about $100 a night and we are vegetarians and light eaters and not big drinkers so $100 a meal for two is on the lower end due to the way we eat. The people here are very friendly and approachable. They are very nice to tourist. It is kind of sad though because there is very little info-structure here and the locals are very poor. The grocery stores have no produce and only out dated boxed or canned foods so if you plan to eat in it will be tuff if you like fresh non expired food. My over all assessment of Harbour Island it that it is just too expensive for what you get. Though the people are lovely and the beach is gorgeous but for the money they charge tourist here there are many other places you can go to and get way more for your buck. I assume its a ghost town because tourist have found out and refuse to pay these prices for what they are getting. Anyway rethink coming here.

Hi - excellent location of the apartment and plenty of room combined with the city just outside the front door. Thanks the days spent there :-)
Great location ! Only a few steps from the heart of Prague. Parking space is very expensive in the close parkings !! 50 Euro a day is normal.... We didn't have contact with 'Michael'. A young girl came to welcome us and give us the keys. We had to wait a half an hour because the appartment was not ready. It had to be cleaned up and beds had to be made. It seems this is not the first time this happens..... Nevertheless we could recommend it to everybody !!!!!! 9/10. Some minor details are negative : is on the first floor + no elevator (we had a disabled person with us !), wooden floor makes A LOT of noice, no extra information like leaflets, few towels,...
We have had a very good time in the apartment in Praque. It is centrally located, about 30 meters from the central squate! The apartmentis very spacious and we had plenty of room for 6 people.
We didn,t see Michael.
Karolina is very nice and arranged transportation from the airport and back.when we arrived see was not happy with the price and went to negotiate with the driver. She managed this well because she had made a special price with the company. Thank you Karolina, many regards from Riena and the other 5 lady' s
The host, Michael, was very easy to get in touch with and answered any questions we had within a few hours. He even arranged for a carservice to and from the airport at a reasoneble price.
When we arrived there was a nice lady, Gabriella, there to greet us. She was most welcoming and had brochures and a map ready for us. The apartement was clean, tidy and much larger than the pictuures. We didn't do any cooking, but there seemed to be enough equipment fto do the basics.The apartment is VERY central, so it made it easy for us to make the most of our short stay.
On the negative side,we had to go through each others rooms to get to the bathroom/kitchen/livingroom, and the fridge was a bit small. There were only 3 of us and we only had water and breakfast stuff, so it was ok, but if we had been a family or a larger group it might have been a problem.
Mycket centralt boende. Lätt in och utcheckning. Michael ordnade taxi transport både från och till flygplatsen. Lägenheten stor och rymlig dock inte så modern, men vi tvekar inte att rekommendera boendet.
Roger & Jeanette från Sverige
Appartement très bien situé au coeur de la vieille ville. A mon arrivée vers 18h, personne pour nous accueillir. Appartement pas prêt, les lits n'étaient pas faits, le ménage non plus. Le ménage n'a pas été fait et il n'avait pas été fait depuis bien longtemps. Salle de bain rudimentaire avec pommeau de douche entartré..entre autre. Pas de lumière dans les toilettes alors que ça avait été signalé.Pas d'accés direct dans les chambres. Passage obligé dans toutes les chambres pour accéder à la dernière..¨Canapés et chaises tâchés ne donnant pas envie de s'y installer....Pas vraiment recommandable

Very Nice appartement near center of Praag.
A lot of space.
We were five and the apartment was perfect for us because it was pretty big. We could see that it had been restored recently so it was very comfortable.
I would suggest it to any group of people going to Prague!
Michael, the owner, is very kind and helped us in any moment.
We had a great stay in Michaels apartment! Perfect location, close to the center and all sights, close Supermarket and most delicious Restaurance Stoleti right at the corner (honestly! go there!). All we needed was available and we loved especially the balcony. The beds and sheets where very comfortable and kitchen equipment was just fine.
The only wish I have for our next visit is, that some minor repairs are done like some broken kitchen doors, out of order dishwasher and a bit torn sofa fabric cover.
Nevertheless this is a great apartment I can suggest to everyone who comes to Prag and want to be super central located, but not inside the party zone!

Swizz Beatz Addresses Cheating Rumors With Fitness Model [Photo]
Rumors began swirling around when producer Swizz Beatz started liking photos on fitness model Lita Lewis page. At one point, Swizz told Lita to "check her DMs" which caused the rumors to spin out of control. Media outlets began accusing him of cheating on his beautiful wife and singer Alicia Keys.
To put an end to the accusations, Swizz posted the DM's himself along with the following statement:
It was very clear that he contacted Lita solely to have her link up with his wife.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In medium skillet, melt butter. Add bread crumbs and paprika and cook until butter is absorbed and bread crumbs are slightly brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Spoon 2 to 3 teaspoons of bread crumb filling into each oyster shell. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange filled oysters on a baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes, until heated oysters are just cooked.

For my personally, I am the kind of person who does like
I learned wearing a hydrating moisturizer at least 35 SPF
Apply a primer to your face right after moisturizer this is
For me, I really like Estee Lauders Clear Difference
I found that using blotting paper is extremely important. It
I can't stress this enough, everyone should be wearing waterproof mascara, eyeliners and cream based eye-shadows. These last longer on the face and don't smudge or streak all over the face. So far I love L'Oreal mascaras, eyeliner and eyeshadows. Found them the most easy to work with and longevity on the face.
Lastly wash your face morning and night with a proper skin
I would love to learn about more summer makeup tips from
|Less is better on Jun 23, 2014 @ 02:56 am
During the summer I find it is better to use either a lot less makeup or at least something a little lighter. Your eye shadow and mascara can be the same but if you use foundation you need to use something very light, not heavy or greasy. Generally in the summer we tend to get a bit of natural tan which in turn give our face a natural glow. A bit of highlighter and blush and that is all you should need.
|Tips on Jul 08, 2014 @ 05:30 pm
Long lasting Blush (Cream Blushes) rub your pointer finger over the blush, blot it on the back of your hand, then gently tap onto the fullest part of your cheeks. Tip: Blend fast since it sets quickly.
Joise Maran - cheek gelee (contains coconut water to hydrate for up to 14 hours)
Maybelline - Bouncy (lightweight formula)
Make up Forever - HD Blush (silk-like texture)
e.l.f cosmetics - HD Blush (Vitamin E-rich formula nourishes the cheeks)
BB Cream (instead of Foundation) rub a small dab between your hands, then spread it all over skin as if you're putting on face cream. For more coverage use some powder to set the foundation or leave it as is some people also just dab a bit more on troubled areas like the under eye area or dark spots. (A little goes a long way!)
Bb creams (Practically a tinted moisturizer) usually offer an all in one moisturizer, anti-anger, and sunscreen. Also they have less wax than reg. foundations which also means less chance of a melting face.
Garnier - Skin BB Cream
Too faced - Tinted beauty balm
Missha M - Perfect Cover BB cream
(Any) Etude House - BB creams
Bronzer (If you want that natural glow and tan look)
e.l.f - mineral glow
Hard candy - so baked bronzer
Smashbox - bronzer lights
-Long lasting eye liner
-Water proof smudge proof mascara
-Eye shadow shimmery warm tones are perfect for the summer and make you look more natural and subtle rather than dark tones which are preferably for night outs.
-Lips since natural is the look i like putting on a tinted balm or you can spice up your look with a lipstick that offers a vibrant floral or orangey red tone.
Always put on a setting spray after putting on your make-up
it helps keep your make-up on longer so you wont have to do touch up every so often.
|to keep your eyeliner from running on Jul 14, 2014 @ 10:24 pm
apply the same colour eyeshadow over top to set the liner and help it stay in place all day without committing to the three day wear of 'waterproof' varieties.

The property was perfect for our needs, clean, comfortable and spacious. The only things that were a slight issue was that the WiFi didn't work, which over Xmas was a little disappointing as we couldn't skype family overseas and there was no communication on when rubbish day collection day was which would have been helpful. Apart those very small things, the place was fantastic and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Auckland.
Great location for what I required! Perfect little getaway, although a little noisy with them living upstairs (just the walking around), but this wasnt really a problem for me as they were not moving around when I needed to sleep.
* solve problems.The property itself was fine and spacious.The shared laundry was not usable, as the hosts' laundry was spread out all over the floor, in the basin and in the machines. My mother in law then proceeded to wash either at our house or in the bathroom.The sheets had stains and all in all, there was just no love or welcoming touch present, which is a shame, since they expected more for that price. Proximity to our house was the seller for us, but wouldn't book it again. A real shame.

Josh Hoekstra and the Gamification of Education
Josh's class chose the "most courageous Americans" and competed in a tournament where students presented and voted on Americans who embodied their definition of courage. The method was a success and is being incorporated by educators across the country in all kinds of classes. We caught up with Josh recently about the impact Teach with Tournaments is having on education.
Teach.com: How did you come up with integrating the excitement of March Madness into the classroom? What was your inspiration? How did you conceptualize a vision that allowed students to become active participants in their own educations?
Josh Hoekstra: The inspiration for my "2012 Most Courageous American Tournament" (now part of my overall teaching method, Teach with Tournaments) was a conversation with some of my 10th-grade male students concerning the March Madness basketball tournament. These young guys were so excited when they were looking at the tournament brackets and match-ups. They were going through each game debating back and forth. I wanted to see that much energy, enthusiasm and competitiveness in my classroom.
I came up with the idea of putting some of the most courageous Americans we studied in a 64 person bracket and run a tournament to determine who students thought was the most courageous American in history. The students had come up with their own personal definition of courage during the first week of school and wrote it on the inside of their notebooks. They could also change their definition as the year went on.
Did you have any idea how personally your students would connect with these people? What is it about that personal connection that stimulates a love for learning, and how does Teach with Tournaments target that?
I truly believe that when kids make a personal connection to history, the desire to learn comes naturally. When kids see the men and women who made our country what it is today struggle with everyday problems, fears, disappointments — even tragic loss— they begin to relate to them. I had a pretty good idea that Teach with Tournaments would enhance their interest in history because it would allow them to dive into the personal details of the people they researched. I had a student come to class stunned that Abraham Lincoln lost his mother at age 8 and had to personally construct her casket. She remarked, "Can you imagine whittling the pegs to your mother's casket as an 8 year-old??" Now, when she studies Lincoln in broader terms, she'll have a deeper respect for the man, not just the president.
And teaching with tournaments can be used across the curriculum. Imagine: Most Impactful American Tournament; Greatest Scientific Discovery Tournament; Biggest Blunder in Military History Tournament. The options are endless! The bottom line is when the kids are competing and have a personal investment, they will take learning to a new level.
How come students have such a difficult time with U.S. history in particular?
Students struggle with history simply because they have not been exposed to the personal side of history. What's interesting about a series of dates and facts they have no connection to? We as educators and parents have an obligation to "bring it alive" through reading, professional dialogue and sharing ideas. There is so much excellent material out there; we just need to bring it to our kids. A U.S. history teacher cannot "hook" students by using one textbook for everything he/she does in class. Educators need to be armed with different material. Keep it fresh!
What has the response been like from educators? Many teachers across the country are teaching with tournaments, and you've been speaking a lot about it. How are you raising visibility for innovative teaching?
In terms of getting it out to the public, I was so blessed to have been a scheduled guest on the Bill Bennett Morning Show on three occasions as well as being featured on CNN.com. I also produced a book and eBook on how to run this concept in your classroom and at home. I speak to large groups of professionals and educators on how to run this concept specific to their individual needs.
Where do you see this going, and what kind of a role do you want it to have in reshaping history education in America?
I want any teacher looking to inject energy and life into learning to adopt this concept. This idea can be used across the curriculum but is really effective in teaching history. There are so many ways to use this. Imagine a tournament related to the Civil War where the kids are researching/debating/voting on the most effective general of the war. An educator in New Jersey is running a tournament to determine the most effective abolitionist of the Antebellum era. Also, a gentleman from Texas is going to use this idea to teach his unit on Texas History.So many options!
Is there any story that stands out to you or any student presentation that moved you in a particular way?
As I told CNN, I won't forget the desperate plea of a young woman who became deeply connected to Tom Burnett (one of the heroes of Flight 93) as he was eliminated in the first round by eventual Tournament winner Michael Murphy. In an emotional plea she said, "Mr. Hoekstra... he can't be eliminated --- don't these people understand what he did?"
During the final vote, a young man who faced personal challenges made a compelling argument in front of his classmates on behalf of Michael Murphy. He acknowledged the valor displayed by Michael Murphy, but he explained that his reason for voting was that in 8th-grade Murphy stuck up for a special needs student at school. This young man made a personal connection that never would have been possible without Teach with Tournaments.
While embracing technology and streamlining programs may be a good start for most American colleges to offset the rising costs of higher education, Fort Hays State in western Kansas has taken a more aggressive approach: By outsourcing courses and some faculty to two Chinese universities, the public university is bringing their U.S. bachelor's degree to about 3,500 Chinese students. In Fall, 2000, Fort Hays began offering courses in mainland China to 40 students. Today, they are serving about 3,500 students at Sias International University and Shenyang Normal University. The course offerings can lead to a Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership, Bachelor of Science in In…

text: Centre will act as a catalyst for social and environmental change TORONTO, Nov. 8, 2012 /CNW/ - RBC today announced a historic, $1 million, five-year commitment to support the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing. With this donation, RBC becomes a founding partner of the Centre, launched in late 2011 to increase awareness of social finance and direct new capital and talent to tackle social and environmental problems in Canada . RBC's donation will help the Centre become the leadership hub on impact in investing for Canada. With the donation, RBC will fund educational and advisory programs for investors, financial advisors, social enterprises, as well as the development of models, tools, products, research and services to create and measure positive social and environmental impact. "RBC is proud to be a founding partner of the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing, and we are confident that with this donation, the Centre will strengthen our collective ability to mobilize private capital toward the public good," said Gordon M. Nixon, president and CEO, RBC. "The Centre will become the 'go-to' resource for social finance in Canada, creating a collaborative platform for private, community and government sectors to develop products, services, talent and public policy." "MaRS is proud to recognize RBC as a founding member of the Centre for Impact Investing," said Ilse Treurnicht, CEO, MaRS,. "Their support, and Gord Nixon's leadership, speaks to the momentum that is building around the impact investing agenda. The talent and capabilities that RBC brings to the table will strengthen the Centre's capacity to build a robust investment hub." Today's donation complements the RBC social finance initiative, a $20 million commitment to help ignite social and environmental change through investment activity. This commitment includes the $10 million RBC Generator, a pool of RBC capital designed to finance enterprises addressing social and environmental challenges and a $10 million investment of RBC Foundation assets into socially responsible investment funds. The RBC Generator will provide financing for enterprises that address clean water, energy efficiency, or employment opportunities for youth or disadvantaged groups. The RBC social finance initiative builds on the company's strong and longstanding reputation for leadership and innovation in finance, business, corporate citizenship and public policy. One of Canada's leading corporate citizens, RBC contributed more than $98 million to charitable causes worldwide in 2011. "My hope is that others in the business community will make similar commitments to help create positive social and environmental change," added Nixon.
