Achieve a Glossy Finish, Come Rain or Shine!
Sometimes cake decorating and cupcake design demands a glossy finish to make a fondant element look realistic. There are a number of ways to achieve a sheen with fondant.
Here's a look at the best high shines.
1. Steaming

Treating a cake with a blast of steam serves a dual purpose. It's a great way to remove traces of corn starch or powdered sugar left on fondant after rolling it out – especially useful for dark-colored cakes – but it also gives the cake a glossy finish.
Small items, like cupcake toppers, or setting the dusted color on gum paste flowers, can be held over the steam from a boiling kettle or pan of water. Just be very careful, as the steam can burn! For whole cakes, an electric steamer is needed.
The disadvantages of this method are that too much steam can cause water droplets and drips to appear on the surface of the fondant. In addition, the glossy finish does eventually dry out and the cake will need to be re-steamed to maintain the shine.
2. Shortening

Rubbing a vegetable shortening (such as Crisco or Trex) over the surface of the fondant will produce a very convincing sheen.
Jessica Harris, instructor of Craftsy's Clean & Simple Cake Design class, gave this perfect watering can cake a high shine with an application of shortening.
Jessica says, "I rubbed Crisco all over the outside of the cake and then used a dry paper towel and started lightly buffing that Crisco into the fondant. It gave it a shiny satin-like finish."
Similar to the steaming method, the shortening is eventually absorbed into the fondant and may need to be reapplied before the cake is presented.
3. Egg Whites

The subtle sheen on these pale yellow hypericum berries was achieved by dipping them in egg whites. The egg white coating dries after a few hours to a sheen perfect for natural-looking berries or succulents. Further coats can be applied for a glossier finish. Use pasteurized egg whites from a carton to ensure you meet food safety standards for fondant decorations that may be eaten.
The disadvantages of this method are that the egg whites can drip and pool, so be careful to tap any excess liquid off your decorations before leaving to dry. Do not touch until dry to avoid fingerprints.
4. Corn syrup/alcohol
Photo via Peggy Does Cake
The doll and balloons on this adorable sheet cake have been glazed with a mixture of corn syrup and alcohol that dries to a permanent high gloss. Several coats can be applied to give the highest sheen, which doesn't fade or become sticky, and is perfectly dry to the touch.
The disadvantage of this method is that brush strokes can sometimes be seen, so try to avoid brushing over the same area again once the syrup mixture has started to set. And do not touch until dry to avoid fingerprints.
How to make corn syrup glaze
Step 1:
Mix together equal amounts of corn syrup and clear alcohol. You can use vodka or a grain alcohol, like Everclear. The amount you make depends on how many decorations you need to apply the sheen to. Usually 1 tsp corn syrup mixed with 1 tsp alcohol is sufficient for any small items.
Step 2:
Create the fondant or gum paste element you wish to glaze.
Step 3:
Leave to dry. The length of time this can range from an hour to overnight, depending on the thickness of the glaze. Additional coats can be applied for a super high gloss.
The glaze would be perfect for adding a high sheen to sculpted car cakes, like those possible made in Mike McCarey's new Classic Car, Timeless Techniques Craftsy class.

Wow! What a greatly appreciated tutorial! You really covered all the possibilities of shine for cake projects. Thank you so much!
This is terrific, Lesley. Thank you for listing quite a few alternative methods. Love your writing style…clear and concise. I learned so much.
What can you use instead of corn syrup as its not available in London!
As I don't live in the UK any more it's hard to say. But I know you can buy Karo corn syrup from Amazon.
Tesco do Karo syrup
Tesco sell Karo corn syrup
Thanks, Gill!
Perhaps Lyle's Golden Syrup as that is what I use in place of Corn Syrup.
Ocado do Karo too I now have two purposes for my corn syrup now!
Corn Syrup and Vodka will also make modelling chocolate shine.
Can you please advice what can we use instead of alcohol for kid's cakes?
The reason we use alcohol on cakes is that the alcohol evaporates as the mixture dries. I would not hesitate to use this on a child's cake.
Thanks a lot..this was very useful.
This is a great post, thank you so much. I only knew about the shortening and steaming and was unhappy with how the shine doesn't last. Cannot wait to try the corn syrup/vodka mix on my next project!
In regards to Anshi's question, most of the alcohol should evaporate off if left for a while to dry and it's such a small amount to begin with…
I calculated even without factoring in any alcohol evaporating the above mixture using 5ml of 40% vodka contains 1.58g ethanol which is about 1/9th American standard drink or by even stricter Australian standards 1/6th standard drink. Then when you factor in evaporation if you leave it to dry I hardly think it worth worrying over:-)
hi there lesley thanks for sharing this lovely tips
actually is there a substitute for alcohol as i`m muslim i`m not allowed to use it in foods or drinks
ASA Yasmeen , try equal part of simple sugar syrap and veg.oil
thanx sadia
Thanks Lesley, I knew only the vapor method and tried shortening and even bought some kind of mix for this purpose, now your post arrived and I instantly prepared your Caro syrup and vodka. Now I'm waiting for it to dry on an old fragment of figure that I made from fondant. Thanks again. You're one of the kind!
This is really great! For those like me in the UK, I've heard Tesco do an American product section in store and stock corn syrup!
Peggy the corn syrup, alcohol glaze for gumpaste or fondant is brilliant! I tried it last night for the first time and was so pleased with the outcome. A nice sheen when dry and no tackiness at all. I will never buy confectioners glaze again, it smells awful and always leaves gumpaste items a bit tacky. Thanks so much for sharing.
I will pass that on to Peggy! She and I are always getting mistaken for one another.
Perhaps corn syrup can be diluted with filtered water for those who are not allowed to use alcohol…but the DRY time will likely be quite different…and it may be slightly sticky for longer….and more likely to get fingerprints from handling. I would say ….test it out before you need to do this for an actual cake project and see if it would work for you.
Do you think the corn syrup/alcohol would work on royal icing too? It would be great on cookies.
I have no idea – I guess that's an experiment you'll have to do – I'd love to hear how it turns out!
Awesome tips and love that they're all in one blog!!! Thank you
I don't have time go out and buy plain vodka. Can it be flavored, since it will evaporate anyway?
U r of great help to me.thank u for sharing
I tried the egg white,it did not dry fast
It does for me… make sure you tap a lot of the excess off – that will help it dry quicker.
DRE – I've never tried it, but I'm not sure. The flavoring will be sugar of some type, I'd imagine and that might not dry out so quickly. But for the amount you're using, it's unlikely to be a problem.
Ds is great,Can liquid glucose b used insted of corn syrup cos itsnt avalabl where I stay in Nigeria
Yes it can, Jumoke!
I like the balloon! Will try to make it glanze directly at the weekend
I tried the glaze but it has a tendency to leave patches where the glaze doesn't stick and adding a second coat makes the whole surface bumpy! Any suggestions?
I'm sorry to hear that Hazel! It does definitely work better on small areas than large. Are you trying to cover a large area? Did you wait for the first coat to dry before applying a second? I've not experienced the patchiness that you're talking about. Are you using the corn syrup mixed with alcohol and not water? Try thinning with a little more alcohol so that the oil in the corn syrup doesn't cause the glaze to 'cling.'
Hi: thanks for the info. To apply the corn syrup and vodka method. Should I leave the the cake o flowers to dry first.
Thank you very much
can i use dark corn syrup or MUST it be light cos i noticed it calls for clear vodka too?
info I was looking for this info for my mission.
Can u do the glucose n vodka sheen on a buttercream frosting
Does the corn syrup/ vodka mix also work on modelling chocolate? I'm planning on using this method on the sculpted car cake from Mike McCarey's class and part of the car from that class (front fenders) is covered in modelling chocolate whereas the rest of the exterior is fondant. Thanks!
I used the corn syrup and vodka method on a themed wedding cake that had a tree, blossom and leaves made of gumpaste…absolutely brilliant!! thanks so much for posting this method:)
yes , this works GREAT..made my shoe look like patent leather!

Search our interactive Google map so see all the famous places on this natural paradise teeming with amazing wildlife and sealife. Consider it one of the Caribbean's best kept secrets and not to be confused with the Dominican Republic.
This is the only island where Caribs have survived and they still maintain traditional crafts such as canoe carving. The island offers Morne Trois Pitons National Park which is a UNESCO world heritage site and offers the Boiling Lake (92C) with hot springs. It is recommended to take a guide.

Banwell, Somerset
Banwell, a village and a parish in Somerset. The village stands under Banwell Hill, at the NW extremity of the Mendip range, 4 miles NNW of Axbridge, with a station called Sandford and Banwell, on the Cheddar Valley branch of the G.W.R. A fair is held at it on 18 January, or on the following Monday. A monastery was founded here by some early Saxon king; had for one of its abbots Asserius or Asser, the biographer of King Alfred; was destroyed by the Danes, and afterwards restored, but seems to have given place to an Episcopal palace, and ceased to be monastic long before the dissolution of monasteries. A mineral well in the vicinity expands into a lakelet, drives two mills, and sends off a rivulet to the Bristol Channel near Woodspring priory. The parish contains also the hamlets of Knightcot, East and West Rolston, Towel-head, Westwick and Waywick, Woolfords-hill, and Yarborough. It has a post, money order, and telegraph office. The acreage is 4974; population of the civil parish, 1584; of the ecclesiastical, 1579. On Banwell Hill is an obelisk erected by Bishop Law of Bath and Wells. The manor has belonged, since the time of Edward the Confessor, to the bishops of Bath and Wells. A palace was built on it by Bishop Beckington, but went into neglect. It has been rebuilt and turned into a large house called the Abbey. The old chapel belonging to it has been restored. Two remarkable caverns, discovered in 1824, and which now attract many visitors, occur on the skirts of Banwell Hill; the one, called the Stalactite Cavern, presenting many beautiful specimens of translucent stalactites ; the other, called the Bone Cavern, found to have contained many bones of bears, buffaloes, deer, wolves, foxes, and other animals, mingled with diluvium. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Bath and Wells; gross value, £563 and residence. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Bristol. The church is Later English, and has a richly-carved screen, a finely sculptured stone pulpit, a circular font, and three brasses. There is a Wesleyan chapel.
Old maps of Banwell are available on the old-maps.co.uk site, and a current map is available on the Streetmap.co.uk site.

Leave the pool area as if to go back to your locker. When you're in that big lobby, take the staircase to the right (instead of the left staircase).

Algebra failure rate at Central High School gets a second look
MANCHESTER - Fewer than 10 percent of freshmen failed to pass two semesters of algebra last year, according to new figures presented by district officials Tuesday night.
Concerns about the algebra failure first surfaced at parent meetings last month, after the principal at Central High indicated that a large number of students had failed the course.
These figures - ranging from 137 to close to 200 - were used by the new Hampshire Union Leader to estimate that a quarter to a third of the freshmen classes at each of the high schools failed at least one semester of algebra.
Superintendent Thomas Brennan told the school board's Curriculum and Instruction Committee that the data should have been more closely analyzed before it was released to the media. "I made the mistake of trying to get the information out quickly rather than accurately," he said. "I believe the lesson learned is sometimes you have to say to the media, 'I'll have to get back to you.'"
Assistant Superintendent Michael Tursi, who presented the figures to the subcommittee Tuesday, said his figures were based on a close analysis of the failure rates initially reported by the school principals.
"Once we became aware of what I consider high numbers, Dr. Brennan and I convened with building principals to dig into the origin of those numbers," Tursi said.
Brennan then requested that all three principals report algebra failure numbers to his office.
According to Tursi, an average of 7 percent of freshmen failed two semesters of Algebra Skills at the three high schools, while 3 percent failed Algebra I, the more advanced course.
Tursi said the numbers provided by the principals double-counted students who had failed algebra two semesters. It also included students who weren't incoming freshmen; in other words, higher-year students who had to repeat the courses. Tursi's estimate of a 3 to 7 percent failure rate only included students who failed both semesters of algebra, and it was measured against the total number of incoming freshmen, not the total enrollment in the courses.
The analysis by district officials further found that more than 90 percent of the failures were on account of poor attendance or incomplete assignments, according to Tursi.
Tursi presented the information verbally and did not have a hard copy of the data. He said after the meeting that he didn't have figures for how the algebra failure rate compared to that of other subjects, nor could he say what percentage of students failed one semester of algebra.
Members of the subcommittee did not question the numbers presented by Tursi, but school board member John Avard said it was still concerning that 7 percent of freshmen failed basic algebra. "That's still a large number," he said.
Avard and other members said they wanted to see the examination of math performance expanded to lower grades. "I'd like to see tracking on a global basis," Avard said. "Are students coming from school X? Is there a tributary here that's really causing damage to our river?"
Subcommittee Chairman Sarah Ambrogi said, "Let's put this failure rate in context, and let's also look at this class and ask why 7 percent of freshmen in Algebra Skills are not motivated to come to class."
Parents have raised concerns about the district's math curriculum, particularly Everyday Math, which is taught in the elementary schools. They've also questioned how well math instruction is coordinated from one grade and school to the next - a concern that has also been raised by district officials.
Tursi said these issues still needed to be addressed. "I don't want the conversation about numbers to overshadow the need for teachers to have conversations regarding alignment across grade levels," he said. "One of the benefits the media attention has brought is it highlights the need for our teachers to have a link between the elementary schools, the middle schools, and the high schools."

Automakers facing a 75 mpg CAFE rating by 2030?
There is, somewhere, a "widely backed scientific-community proposal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 80 percent by 2050 from 2000 levels." Based on current realities, the EPA has reckoned that the fleet average for fuel economy would need to more than double from the 2020 target of 35 mpg in about 15 or so years in order to achieve even the minimum standard.
The EPA is looking at a variety of alternative fuel options as a way to make the plan work. Yet we have no idea whether this is being looked at as a serious long term plan, or whether grand pronouncements are being made because it's the thing to do right now. While we freely admit that the world of cars could use some cleaning up, we do wonder... is any other industry going to be on the hook for reducing greenhouse gasses?

Follow Division Street to Willamina
Dec 7, 2012
By Ossie Bladine
Of the News-Register
The Wildwood Hotel has another fine night of music scheduled this Saturday. The Don of Division Street headlines the bill, with Kris Stuart of RootJack as supporting cast.
"The Don" is the moniker for Matt Cadenelli, a Portland drummer-turned-singer-songwriter who "delivers Americana-soaked pop songs with heart, integrity and plenty of wisdom," according to his bio.
Cadenelli recently released his sophomore album, "L'Amourita." The musical styles run the gamut, but I'd liken his sound to a less cynical Neil Young who's been hanging out with the Beatles for a while.
Cadenelli will appear with his full backing band Saturday night. Stuart and Cadenelli had originally planned to do some solo stuff, along with a set together. Then Stuart asked, why waste a good trip to Willamina with just the two of them?
"I told him, 'It's silly to just have us two,'" Stuart told the News-Register. "I said, 'Let's bring the band down."
Stuart's own band, RootJack, has been a frequent visitor to the Wildwood since the venue's inception. In July, the logger-rock group was part of the Wildwood Music Fest, and headlined the entertainment at the Old-Fashioned Fourth of July celebration in "Timbertown U.S.A."
His solo efforts are still a work in progress, Stuart admitted. He said he started last year, purposely not preparing for solo sets and seeing what happened. It's a far different approach from his work with the band, in which he relies on rehearsal and planning, he said.
"That's been fun," he said of his solo work. "Doing that, I've learned some things of what to do and not to do. I'm starting to be more comfortable (with the impromptu approach)."
"It's a real treat" each time he plays the Wildwood, he said. The venue is a welcome change for musicians who play Portland gigs week in and week out.
"We tell everyone what a great experience we have," He said. "It's the hospitality, but it's also where people come to listen. Their attention span is long."
He said Portland gigs can become monotonous, making musicians feel like they are just the next hired entertainers playing the next set. Music becomes an afterthought at many Portland venues, where people go out for the scene, not the music.
Not so at the Wildwood. Stuart said the band always looks for other venues when they drive through Newberg and McMinnville on their way to the West Valley. With Portland inundated with great musicians who often get lost in the mix, it wouldn't take much to build a healthy music scene in Yamhill County.
Saturday's show starts at 9 p.m. Stuart will kick things off, followed by a set by the Don and his band, and then the whole bunch will perform together to cap off the night. For more information, visit Wildwood on Facebook, e-mail email@example.com, or call 503-876-7100.

Not sure I should put this here, but since you are all NorCal peeps I figured I would ask..
Currently I have a Revtek spacer lift (yeah I know). It appears as though the whole drivers side of the truck is sagging. When I go almost to the stop turning left I get a serious rub, but not at all when I go to the right. My first thought was maybe I should start drinkin light beer LOL, but with a buddy in the passenger seat it still does not rub on that side.
Also, the bed seems to be sagging to the driver side as well! I did not see anything totally obvious when looking under it. Anyone know what could be causing it?
Ohh and one final quirk. Depending on the road on 101 it vibrates so hard that it feels like the tires are going to fly off on the right side. Starts at about 55 then mellows at 60-70 and at 75 I swear the passenger seat looks like that Jodie Foster movie "Contact"....

Certainly something is missing. It is not so certain - some doubt has arisen, trust is no longer complete and perfect, love is no more unpolluted. The disciple's question is not coming from his whole being, just out of his head. But still, there was much yet to happen. The child went on growing. As far as age is concerned it seems a growth, but as far as innocence is concerned it is an involution. Both are going side by side: evolution as far as age and body are concerned, and involution as far as innocence, trust and love are concerned.
After Treta humanity fell still more. The stage after Treta is called dwapar. One leg is lost again - now everything is unbalanced. Standing on two legs, how can a table have trust, certainty, security, safety, balance? Fear became the predominant quality rather than love, rather than trust. Insecurity became more prominent than a tremendous feeling of being at home. But things went on growing in one direction: as far as material growth is concerned, there was evolution; in another direction as far as consciousness is concerned, there was a continuous fall.
After Dwapar, the age of two legs, is the age we are living in. It is called kaliyuga, the Age of Darkness. Even the last leg has disappeared. Man is almost in a state of insanity. Instead of innocence, insanity has become our normal state. Everybody is in some way or other psychologically sick.
I am talking about these four ages for a particular reason, because the statement that was made in innocence in the days of the Upanishads has become absolutely incomprehensible to our people, to our contemporaries. Even the people who are the inheritors of the Upanishads are afraid to declare that, "I am God," that, "I am the Absolute" - what to say about others? Others have their own prejudices.
For example, when Christians started translating the Upanishads they were shocked. They could not believe that there are in existence scriptures so tremendously poetic, beautiful, but what they are saying goes against Christianity, against Judaism, against Mohammedanism, even against today's Hinduism. Even the Hindu is not capable today of declaring, "I am God." He has also become impressed and influenced by Christianity to such an extent.
Christian missionaries started condemning the Upanishads because if the Upanishads are right, then what to do with the Bible? The Bible absolutely declares, just as the Koran declares, that there is only one God. If the Upanishads are right then there are as many gods as there are living beings. Some may have come to manifestation, some may be on the way, some may not have started the journey yet but will start finally.
How long can you delay? You can miss one train, you can miss another train, but every moment the train is coming. How long can you go on sitting in the waiting room? And people go on becoming buddhas, and people go on becoming seers and sages, and you are still waiting in the waiting room with your suitcases. How long can you do that? There is a limit when you see that so many people have left already - the whole platform is empty - you will take courage that perhaps it is time to move.

I'm going to get Mexican food with EJR , we hungry! Want some damn fajitas. What the hell you guys been up to?
I have a little time off work, which really means I'll be working, but working from home. Guess I should stop being so damn lazy and do something productive!
First things first, time for me to slut up my page.....
***A bunch of really talented people from Newgrounds(Stamper, RicePirate, Oney,Spazkid, JohnnyUtah, Cosmicdeath, Shadman, PsychicPepples---I am sure there's more!) have gotten together, made love, and created a new website for their flash animations. http://sleepycabin.com/ It's really well put together, and I'm there too. http://sleepycabin.com/ghost/SevenSeizeNG/ But I don't have any sort of connections. I'm not in the cool kids club and I don't get to sit with them at lunch. I'm that socially ackward chick by herself in the corner reading while sadly eating my bologna sandwich.....I didn't get them a pie and they're not speaking to me or letting me come to prom.
****Poxpower has been really busy with his hot supermodel girlfriend, but I like to promote his page whenever I can because aside from Newgrounds, it's one of the best places on the internet. http://www.thepoxbox.com/
******If you haven't gone through Tom's post about NATA submissions, you really need to. There are some awesome things in here you are missing out on! http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1367287
**** WadeFulp has started metal detecting and while you may be thinking, "so?' you really need to go see all the stuff he is finding! I know my yard does not have all of the cool stuff his does! You can follow Wade's adventures in metal detecting here: http://instagram.com/wademetal#
If you get really really really bored, you can follow me on Instagram too, but I am lazy and don't update as much as Wade. And my yard is boring so my photos are pretty boring as well. http://instagram.com/louisamarks11/#

I really have to be in the mood to bake to get it right. I prefer to whip and mix things by hand... as such, my sister is making me mail her ma's mixmaster and every adapter made for it. Weighs in just under 60 pounds, I hope....
I'm making oven fried pork chops right now

I gotta watch, the skins of some odd ball tomatoes can give me IBS, though I haven't had that in quite a while :) I'd rather be eating fresh groundhog lol, the grill seems to be doing okay, despite some regulator issues. Got some box cake... might as well, it's been so cool out.
Also got 3 boiled eggs... I haven't made deviled eggs since Pop passed away, and when I made them for him, well, memories n' shit :\
I baked 4 cakes this week---so much going on and people needed cakes from me!
I love deviled eggs!!!

I usually get bologna when I go food shopping, bleh. If I don't finish it, the cats get a treat. I'm just as likely to make a tuna fish sammich, or french toast, or a BLT (with butter and mayo)
I have been eating BLTs like every single day. I can't remember if I told you in our PM or not, but I have like a BLT addiction right now.
2014-06-22 23:25:43
yeah but bologna sandwiches are the best
I used to make fried bologna sandwiches when I was a kid. I haven't had bologna in forever!

Hmm, ever have authentic salt water taffy? Haven't been to the shore in well over a decade... ah, Monmouth peanut brittle, not that far from me, top notch stuff!
Oh Wade... I know what his mystery items are, that gear looks like it came off of a hay baler, the tip cleaner is for acetylene torch tips. O_O You found that many 4 leaf clovers? I found 2 very small ones growing up (almost wrecked my eyes), but ended up giving them both away, wish I hadn't - that dead rabbit foot was defective |:
I just did have some real salt water taffy! (just got back from Florida) They had a ton.
I am obsessed with Wade's metal instagram page. I love finding old things...and just old things in general. I am obsessed with abandoned buildings and ghost towns and every time he posts on instagram I want to go buy a metal detector. '
I find four leaf clovers constantly. My luck has not gotten any betetr :-(

I'm still pissed the Cincinnati food I sent you never reached you. >:(
2014-05-29 17:53:52
Mexican food with EJR eh? Did not know you two lived in the same area. X3
Mexican food is great.
We don't. But if we did, we'd be getting fajitas! :-)

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Walt Disney Studios' "Frozen" easily debuted at No. 1 on both national home video sales charts the week ending March 23, selling more than three times as many copies as all 19 other titles on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert top 20 sales chart combined.
The year's Oscar winner for animated feature film, "Frozen" earned nearly $400 million at the domestic box office alone, with a global ticket tally of more than $1 billion - only the second animated feature to cross that milestone, after another Disney film, "Toy Story 3." Last week Disney reported first-day disc sales of 3.2 million units, a tally that includes advance orders.
Saving Mr. Banks," about the real-life drama behind the making of "Mary Poppins," debuted at No. 2 after earning $83.2 million in theaters. And the Sony Pictures crime drama "American Hustle," which grossed $149.9 million on the big screen, bowed at No. 3.
But neither film came anywhere close to moving as many discs as "Frozen." "Saving Mr. Banks" sold 6.3% as many discs, while "American Hustle" moved 4.9% as many units.
The troika of new releases pushed "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" out of the No. 1 spot it's held for two weeks. The sequel slipped to No. 4 on both sales charts its third week in stores, with Disney's "Thor: The Dark World" rounding out the top five - moving up two notches from No. 7 on First Alert, but down three slots, from No. 2, on the prior week's Blu-ray Disc sales chart.
"Frozen" generated 50% of its total unit sales from Blu-ray Disc, more than either "Saving Mr. Banks" (42%) or "American Hustle" (49%).
On Home Media Magazine's video rental chart for the week, "American Hustle" debuted at No. 1, bumping "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" to No. 2. "Frozen" bowed at No. 3, while "Thor: The Dark World" and 20th Century Fox's "The Counselor" each slipped a notch to finish the week at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.
Thomas K. Arnold is editorial director of Home Media Magazine.
Top 20 Nielsen VideoScan First Alert chart for week of 3/16/2014:
1. Frozen (new)
2. Saving Mr. Banks (new)

The To Do List may look and feel like an R-rated teen sex comedy in the modern tradition, a la American Pie or Superbad or The Girl Next Door -- and, true to form, it offers gross-out gags and F-bombs aplenty.
But at the center of writer/director Maggie Carey's brave, funny debut film, there's an un-panicked, radically reassuring portrayal of teenage sex.
Set in the summer of 1993, The To Do List follows late-blooming valedictorian Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza) as she attempts to master a full repertoire of sexual proficiencies with interchangeable male classmates. The end game to this plan: losing her virginity to chick-magnet lifeguard Rusty Waters (a delightfully '90s-tastic Scott Porter) before starting her freshman year at Georgetown. Her more experienced best friends (Alia Shawkat and Sarah Steele) counsel her along the way, while her dorky but endearing friend Cameron (Johnny Simmons) quietly pines for her.
What's unusual about The To Do List isn't that Brandy sets her sights on losing her virginity to a gorgeous, kinda-brain-dead older boy; pop culture boasts plenty of young women who initially just want to get the whole awkward rite of passage over with. Instead, what's unusual about Carey's film is that (spoiler alert) Brandy succeeds -- and then moves on. She loses her virginity to a guy who doesn't really know her and definitely doesn't love her, and then she checks off the "Intercourse" box on her eponymous to-do list, packs up her things, and goes to college, un-traumatized and un-stricken by tragic regret.
When it comes to teenage girls losing their virginity on TV and in the movies, a few old storylines tend to get recycled. Most of them have to do with the fear of what could happen if the girl doesn't "save it" for the right moment or the right guy. These fictional teenagers with plans to have sex for the first time often "come to their senses" at the last minute, or get effectively dissuaded by someone older and wiser who advocates waiting for the "right" guy to come along -- the good guy, the One, who's trustworthy and kind and loves her for the right reasons.
My So-Called Life's Angela Chase, for instance, backs out of losing her virginity to her longtime crush, the dopey but sexy Jordan Catalano, because she's simply not ready. Rachel Berry saves herself for Finn on Glee after thinking better of her promise to let bad-boy rival glee-club singer Jesse be her first. On Friday Night Lights, a determined Julie Taylor makes a curfew-conscious appointment to have sex for the first time with her new boyfriend Matt Saracen -- only to get nervous and realize that, like her mother warned her, she's not ready. (Julie and Matt do have sex later -- after it's been firmly established over the course of a season or so that Matt is, indeed, the "right" guy.)
On How I Met Your Mother, Robin Scherbatsky realizes her younger sister Katie has plans to have sex with her obnoxious boyfriend when they visit New York together; she enlists her friends to help talk her out of it, and they succeed. American Beauty and What Women Want feature father figures persuading teenage girls away from having sex for the first time with men who don't love them. In 2002's Crossroads, Britney Spears's valedictorian Lucy reneges at the last minute on a pact to lose her virginity with her high-school lab partner, and instead has sex for the first time with Ben, a sensitive musician who once rescued his sister from their abusive dad.
And what happens to the fictional teenage girl who actually goes through with it, who loses her virginity without waiting for a boy or man who loves her truly, madly, deeply, and honestly?
Very bad things, frequently. Sometimes it's immediate karmic retribution: Marissa Cooper from The O.C. "finally" gives in to her jerky boyfriend of several years only to find out soon afterward that he's been habitually cheating. The Virgin Suicides' Lux Lisbon has sex with the school heartthrob on a football field only to fall asleep afterward, get abandoned, break curfew, and subsequently get put under parent-inflicted house arrest for what's effectively the rest of her life. Sometimes it's pregnancy: Juno of Juno, Mary Cummings of Saved!, and Becky Sproles of Friday Night Lights all find themselves pregnant after their first time. And still other times it's paralyzing regret, like Felicity on Felicity. As a 1999 Entertainment Weekly review put it when describing her post-sex antics: "You could read the guilt-stricken reaction all over Russell's face ... she looked ashen throughout the episode."

text: HomeTagsComings & GoingsEileen Davidson Signs on For The Young and the Restless Return Jillian Bowe June 17, 2014 Comings & Goings, Days of Our Lives, Soap Opera, The Young and The Restless 54 Comments The game of Red Rover between Sony TV soaps The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives over Eileen Davidson has apparently ended. Soap Opera Digest is reporting Davidson has signed on to return to Y&R as Ashley Abbott. In a statement to the magazine, Davidson said: They has been reaching out for quite a while and wondering what I wanted, so the deal we made suits my life very well. I'm really happy. I've put in a lot of years in this medium, which I don't take for granted, so I'm very grateful. While Davidson starts her Y&R storyline in September, fans of the talented, Daytime Emmy-nominated actress will still be able to see her airing in Salem as lethal Kristen Blake DiMera. The actress is slated to stick around on DAYS for a 12-week storyline. 54 Responses Newer Comments » Restless Fan June 17, 2014 I'm happy…scratch that. THRILLED! Eileen is coming back. Of course the writing will have to be there. With these scribes you just gotta pay a visit to your church, light any candle in eyes view, and pray really hard. In any event, I HOPE the writing is good. Eileen is so needed on this show right now. I hope the story is good. Bringing her back and not creating good story would be like Martha Stewart having a dinner party and serving Stouffer's frozen lasagna with salad in a bag. Log in to Reply harlee490 June 17, 2014 MY GOD in heaven…the first look today and I saw this!!!! makes your heart feel awfully warm & fuzzy….Hallelujah!! Log in to Reply Restless Fan June 17, 2014 Fingers crossed Harlee! They got the gold. Question is, do they know what to do with it? Log in to Reply pennywise555 June 17, 2014 I'm thrilled if they pair her with Stitch. I've seen ED on Days and she comes alive with a younger love interest. Ashley's a bore with the older men. Victor is played out, and Tucker was just well…..gross. Log in to Reply Cornfed June 17, 2014 Totally SHOCKED that Jill the biatch would wine and dine a 50-something female, PLUS i'd rather see her on Days, but i love me some Eileen. Too bad the writing sucks on ALL soaps right now! Grrrr Log in to Reply aph1976 June 17, 2014 I knew eventually Eileen Davdson would have to choose between Y&R and DOOL.However Y&R may have made her an offer in terms of what she wanted in terms of her personal life.I think one of the reasons she left DOOL the last time was because they were using her too much.So maybe Y&R will only need her a couple of days a week. Log in to Reply Jefferson7 June 17, 2014 I love Eileen but I'd rather see her as Kristen. Log in to Reply Colby June 17, 2014 Eileen screwed up. Kristen is way better than Ashley. She'll be sorry! Log in to Reply pferrando June 17, 2014 SOOOOO thrilled by this news. And yes, the writing has been spotty these past couple of months. I'm hoping this signals a BUNCH of behind the scenes changes as well. The show needed a HUGE confidence boost. This is a fantastic start. Log in to Reply harlee490 June 17, 2014 P~ I know you have to be as giddy as I am about this news!! YR needs this type of "bring it on home" news… I know some like ED better playing KD and not Ashley but what I said ages ago…ED always will come home to YR regardless…she has a love in her heart for Ashley\YR…facts are facts. Log in to Reply Wrecklesslove June 17, 2014 damn. ED stays employed lol Log in to Reply MrRHS June 17, 2014 Doesn't she!!! LOL!!! When you've got, you've got, and she's definitely got it!! Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon June 17, 2014 I thank God for the casting of a familiar face. Y&R without Ashley is not Y&R for me. Log in to Reply harlee490 June 18, 2014 From your lips to Bill & Jeanne's ears… Log in to Reply stoney07 June 17, 2014 YES GOD!!! Now can we get Ashley and Stitch? To me they have far more chemistry than Victoria and Stitch… And maybe she can pump a little life into Abby as well HAPPY!!! Not to mention I actually watched the past two episodes of Y&R and it was actually pretty decent. Hmm…I won't hold my breath though. Log in to Reply harlee490 June 17, 2014 Yes put a ringer between Stitch\Victoria with Ashley…fireworks! Log in to Reply pferrando June 18, 2014 It has been better since last Tuesday's HORRIBLE show. Log in to Reply Patchworks June 17, 2014 NOOOO!!! I need ED on Days. I will miss Kristen. However, given Y&R's current state, she just may prove to be the jolt to bring it back to life the same way she did on Days last year. It was so good.Days is losing a lot of characters – Sami, EJ, Kristen, Gabi, Nick – I wonder if it's time to be alarmed. Log in to Reply NathanHastingsSr. June 17, 2014 maybe i'll start watching again. Log in to Reply Mets82 June 17, 2014 YIPPPEE!! I'm glad Ashley is coming back. I dont see Ashley with Stitch. I really dont know who she should be with, I'm just glad she's back. Log in to Reply kgdallas June 17, 2014 As much as I absolutely adore Eileen and think she's one of the most talented actresses in daytime, I sort of with she would have signed with Days instead. She's plays evil so deliciously, you can't help but root for her! You see an energy in her you don't see on Y&R. I'm going on 4 months Y&R sober (well… I maybe watch a total of 3-4 scenes a week) LOL, but from what I've read and seen, nothing has improved on the show so I shudder to think what they'll do to my beloved Ashley Abbott. Best of luck to Eileen.. I'll guess we'll see. Log in to Reply kgdallas June 17, 2014 "I sort of wish" is what I meant to say. Oopsie. Sorry peeps, I hate when I notice a typo after already posting a comment. I don't see an "edit" button to make correction Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon June 17, 2014 There's no EDIT button and it's making me crazy. I'm really OCD about my posts. Log in to Reply Cornfed June 17, 2014 This all has to do with the PROPER SCHEDULE AND DEAL that works best for Eileen. It's not even about the work or the role, imo…And she deserves all that she can get. Log in to Reply harlee490 June 17, 2014 ED always comes home to YR. Log in to Reply hey mon June 17, 2014 Oh yeah! She saved DAYS, she will save Y&R. The next posting by Jamey and Luke needs to read, "Y&R shows JFP and Jean P the EXIT door." Log in to Reply harlee490 June 17, 2014 Doing a happy dance right now!!! Log in to Reply bobbyew June 17, 2014 ED, coming home with the rest of the cast will heat up the screen. I am hoping that the writers are being pushed to fix this mess and write from history. Jill is doing everything to keep her ass from being fired. Its not the cast it is the writing. An EP can get all the great Emmy winners or excellent cast members she wants but if the writing ain't right the show won't be TIGHT! Log in to Reply yojoromo4469 June 17, 2014 I am thrilled that Eileen/Ashley is returning. The only thing that would really save the show, would be the removal of DYLDO and JFP. We of course know that is not going to happen. Really too bad though. Myself and many others, are really tired of the Steve Burton show. It wouldn't be so bad if he could only act and didn't just have the one boring expression. The stories are just so unrealistic. Nikki, being his mother is just really dumb and now Paul, his father. Who else will be his relative? Just so totally unbelievable, the way they are inserting him into every story line. Would not mind, if he had even a tenth of Michael Muhney's talent. So sad, to see my one and only soap, go so far downhill. Ratings slowly, but surely sinking, on a weekly basis. Log in to Reply rhythmchyc June 17, 2014 I agree with kgdallas. This show does not know how to write for intelligent women. Ashley will be the next teenybopper Avery or pitiful Victoria if she returns. Then again, with her history of mental illness, she'll be the next Sharon or Chloe. They'll recycle without even bothering to rinse plot particulars off (as they did with Austin/Hilary). I love Eileen, but even if JFP got Liz Taylor to come back from the dead to do a contract role, it wouldn't make a difference because the writing sucks. Log in to Reply yojoromo4469 June 18, 2014 One of the best posts I have seen, and thanks for telling it like it is, about the writing. Log in to Reply ChrisGa June 17, 2014 As much as I love Eileen and Ashley, I fear this regime just isn't capable of writing the material this outrageously talented woman deserves. Frankly, I'd love to see them prove me wrong but with the way things have been going I can't even say I'm cautiously optimistic. I've always said Ashley is as important to this canvas as Victor, Jack, Nikki or Jill but when you're pushing Dylan McAvoy as the "star" of your show you have to strongly question if they can do the character justice. And I just don't think they can. Meanwhile, over at Days, she was inarguably the star of the show for a solid year with some damn good material(and sadly, being slightly overworked as well). I would've loved to have seen them work out a better, long-term work schedule for her over there but I'm sure even in 12 weeks she'll do plenty of wrecking. Log in to Reply Cornfed June 18, 2014 Fantastic post ChrisGa, this about sums it up perfectly! Here's one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet: Y/R, imo, has never been able to pair her with A MALE STAR WITH WHICH SHE HAS SIZZLING CHEMISTRY. (I didn't see the few Stitch scenes she did, so someone may correct me here.) Victor and Ashley never did it for me back in the 80s, i may have been one of the few…never saw much chemistry between them during any decade they were on. Don Diamont and her didn't do it for me either, tho he was looking mighty fine during their time together onscreen. Days, OTOH, always hits a home run for her in the chemistry department, tho obviously ED is aging 10x more gracefully than Drake H., who really does look and act like an old(er) man. Log in to Reply noway June 20, 2014 Maybe they will pair her with the new star of the show. Bwahahahahahahahahaha.
