It's hard to resist these polished mirror cakes, which have been adding a touch of glamour to Instagram recently courtesy of Russian baker Olga Noskova.
Creating something of a stir for their flawless design and lush, dense colours, Noskova has captured the imagination of cake lovers all over the world, with her sensational cakes notching her up over 500,000 followers on her Instagram account.
It all began with my love for macarons," she told Bored Panda. "Later I began to devote a lot of time to study confectionery arts. I really wanted to learn how to make European mousse cakes. My mirror glaze is the result of my experience."
The mesmerising effect is practically unrivalled for flash design and vibrant colours, without a single icing imperfection.
For bakers looking to take on the challenge of the mirror effect, this YouTube recipe guide explains how to make the gelatin icing. A recipe idea on Reddit also shows how to achieve the sheen look, with ingredients including gelatin, sugar, condensed milk, water, chocolate and glucose. Not exactly a dieter's dream, but we think you'll agree the results are worth the effort.
Take a look at some of Noskova's inspiring creations below:

House Republicans next week will pass a legislative package aimed at making federal regulations more transparent and less costly to the economy.
The legislation is the GOP's latest attempt to reduce the regulatory red tape they say is stifling job creation. Republicans have said getting Washington out of companies' way is the best way to turn around an economy that still struggles to create jobs more than five years after the Great Recession.
Bills to pare back federal regulations have become the GOP's response to Democratic arguments that Congress should be pushing to extend emergency unemployment benefits and raise the minimum wage. But these bills have mostly gone nowhere in the Senate due to opposition from Senate Democrats.
Nonetheless, GOP leaders next week will bring up the Achieving Less Excess in Regulation and Requiring Transparency (ALERRT) Act, H.R. 2804. The legislation combines four measures proposed by Republicans over the last year.
One piece of the bill, from Rep. George Holding (R-N.C.), would require the head of each federal agency to report each month on rules it is expected to issue, including the reason for the rule and when it will be issued. It would also have to estimate the cost of the rule and its economic impact.
Current law requires the administration to issue reports on regulatory actions twice a year, but Republicans have complained that these reports are rarely on time. Holding said, when he introduced his bill, his language is needed to ensure the government's regulatory plans are transparent to companies.
"In order for our economy to grow and businesses to prosper, we should take steps to ensure that they are given sufficient notice of regulations, and have time to adjust their business practices in anticipation of regulatory changes," Holding said.
Holding's bill was originally called the All Economic Regulations are Transparent (ALERT) Act, but it was rewritten to include three other deregulatory bills.
Another piece of the omnibus bill comes from Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), who proposed the Regulatory Accountability Act in May. His bill would require federal agencies to choose rule-making alternatives that impose the smallest cost on companies.
"If we are to grow our economy and get more Americans back to work, Washington must get out of the way," Goodlatte said. "The Regulatory Accountability Act solves the problem of overreaching and unnecessary regulation by providing greater transparency, cost-benefit analysis of new rules and a more thorough process for high-impact rules."
Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) is also contributing with language aimed at curbing rule-making though "sue-and-settle" litigation, which are rules that are the result of lawsuits and court decisions. Collins and other supporters say those rules are not transparent and are often the result of lawsuits by groups that are seeking regulations at the expense of companies and consumers.
The language would require agencies to publish all information related to these lawsuits and to give all affected parties a chance to review related rules before they're issued.
"Strong reforms are needed to protect communities and businesses against burdensome regulations that circumvent the rule-making process," Collins said. "This legislation sheds light on the regulation through litigation that is crippling small businesses in my district and across the nation."
Finally, the bill includes a proposal from Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) to require agencies to examine how proposed rules would affect the economy and to tailor those rules to have a minimal impact.
"While all businesses have to comply with state and local regulations, federal regulations can impose an even greater burden because most small businesses simply do not have the resources or the time to monitor and participate in the federal regulatory process or dispute new rules," he said.

For a lot of people, getting out of bed in the morning sucks. It's always worth it, though, especially if the waves are good. That few minutes of bleary-eyed, grumpy discomfort only lasts for a short time, and when you get out of the water while the sun is still low in the sky with a pocket full of good waves, the rest of your day is just so much better. Lucky for you, a new app called Wave Alarm will rouse you from your slumber and kick your lazy ass into gear–but only if you live in Australia.
The idea, formed by a lawyer/surfer named Hamish Geddes, was developed into an app by a Newcastle-based company called Mirk. Although it's a little more complicated than simply setting your alarm clock, Wave Alarm has one really good thing going for it: if the waves suck, it won't go off. Using almost 14,000 data streams, the user sets their spot, enters the conditions that would create the waves they want to surf, including swell direction and size and wind, then sets the alarm and goes to sleep. Should everything come together, the alarm goes off. Should everything fall apart, you get to sleep in.
"It works in the background checking the weather throughout the night and then it'll check the weather at your alarm time and if the parameters line-up with what you selected your alarm goes off," Geddes told The Newcastle Herald.
The app launched a few weeks ago, but is still in somewhat of a test-phase. According to the Herald, more than 100 people are using it, and updates to the program are already being made.
Unfortunately, though, the app is only available in Australia. Hopefully, it will soon be available to the rest of the late-risers in the world.

Introduced by Edgar Dale (1946) in his textbook on audiovisual methods in teaching, the Cone of Experience is a visual device meant to summarize Dale' classification system for the varied types of mediated learning experiences. The organizing principle of the Cone was a progression from most concrete experiences (at the bottom of the cone) to most abstract (at the top). The original labels for Dale's ten categories are: Direct, Purposeful Experiences; Contrived Experiences; Dramatic Participation; Demonstrations; Field Trips; Exhibits; Motion Pictures; Radio – Recordings – Still Pictures; Visual Symbols; and Verbal Symbols.
Dale made minor modifications of the visual in the second edition (1954), changing Dramatic Participation to Dramatized Experiences and adding Television. By the third edition of the textbook, Dale (1969) acknowledged the growing popularity of Jerome Bruner's (1966) cognitive psychology concepts by overlaying Bruner's classification system for modes of learning—enactive, iconic, and symbolic—on top of his own categories. This adaptation of his own schema may have been portentous, perhaps giving implied license to others to make other creative adaptations and interpretations, not always to the credit of Dale's original notion.
Dale's textbook in its three editions remained popular for over a quarter century. Inasmuch as the Cone provided the organizing principle for the book, it became ingrained in the thinking of generations of educational technology students and professors who used the textbook. It stimulated many efforts to extend the original idea by developing its implications
for elementary education, secondary education, adult education, corporate training, and even counseling.
As a visible leader in audiovisual education, Dale and his work had a great deal of authority within the field. The Cone may be regarded as the earliest highly influential conceptual schema in the field. Dwyer (1978) in his landmark work on visual learning credits Dale as one of the thinkers who inspired the visual education movement: An explanation for the current widespread use of visualization can be traced back to the 1940s and 1950s when a number of theoretical orientations were identified—specifically the iconicity theory identified by Morris (1946) [and] Dale's (1946) cone of experience… (p. 6)
Dale's own claims for this classification system were modest and qualified. He advised against viewing the categories as "rigid, inflexible divisions (p. 37)." He insisted that the classifications should not be regarded as any sort of "hierarchy or rank order (p. 47)." This addresses one of the most prevalent misconceptions of the Cone—that the progression from concrete to abstract represented a value judgment about concrete over abstract learning activities. Instead, Dale advocated the use of whatever methods or media were appropriate for the learner and the task, acknowledging that words can be a powerful and efficient means of conveying ideas even for the youngest children. If he had a bias regarding media it was toward rich combinations of concrete and abstract experiences: "Abstractions must be combined, if we are to have rich, full, deep, and broad experience and understanding. In brief, we ought to use all the ways of experiencing that we can (p. 48)." Because many of those who referred to the Cone were advocates for specific media or for audiovisual media in general, they had a tendency to selectively emphasize those parts of Dale's work that supported their claims. Thus by the time of the third edition of Audiovisual Methods in Teaching (1969) Dale found it necessary to devote six pages of the chapter on the Cone to "Some Possible Misconceptions (pp. 128-134)." At the core of the misconceptions are the notions that the value of an activity increases with its realism and that the learner's understanding grows by beginning with direct experience and progressing to increasingly abstract activities.
One explanation for the prevalence of other interpretations of the Cone is that Dale did not explicitly draw the distinction between a descriptive construct and a prescriptive theory. He surely intended the Cone to be descriptive—a classification system—and not prescriptive—a road map for lesson planning. He came close to drawing this distinction when he stated in the Summary of his chapter on the Cone: "The cone, of course, is merely an aid to understanding this subject…something to help explain the relationship of the various types of sensory materials…(p. 52)." The key words are "understand" and "explain." These words indicate a descriptive purpose, not a prescriptive one.
On the other hand, Dale himself sometimes fell prey to the urge to extend the descriptive construct to prescriptions, as pointed out by Subramony (in press). References to "uses" or "implications" of the Cone are scattered throughout the various editions of Dale's textbook (Dale 1946, 1954, 1969). An example found in the third edition (1969) states "When properly understood and used, however, the Cone can be a helpful and practical guide (p. 110)." With this sort of ambiguity from the author, it is not surprising that many of his followers attempted to use the Cone as a prescriptive guide to lesson planning.
Origins of the Cone's concepts Ideas parallel to those expressed by Dale in the Cone of Experience appeared in the literature of education prior to 1946. Pau Saettler (1990), the historian of the field of instructional technology, points to Exposition and Illustration in Teaching, published in 1910 by John Adams "which included the following 'order of merit' concerning concreteness: '(1) the real object, for which anything else is a more or less inefficient substitute; (2) a model of the real object; (3) a diagram dealing with some of the aspects of the object; and (4) a mere verbal description of the object.' (p. 140). However, a more direct ancestor of the Cone is probably a diagram presented by Hoban, Hoban, and Zisman (1937).
They made the conceptual breakthrough of constructing a graph in which visual media are arranged along the y axis while the learner's level of development—from the concrete level of thinking to the abstract level of thinking—is arrayed along the x axis. In applying the graph to a particular case, one would locate the learner's current level of conceptual development
(concrete to abstract) then trace up to the slope line and then horizontally over to the visual medium that intersects at the same point. For example, an experienced learner with a highly developed (abstract) knowledge of "jet propulsion" would be expected to be able to learn more about jet propulsion effectively with diagrams and verbal texts.
Hoban, Hoban, and Zisman's categories were: total situation, objects, models, films, stereographs, slides, flat pictures, maps, diagrams, and words. Dale's schema differs mainly in the addition of several classes of media and active learning experiences and the simplification of the schema by showing only y axis—the media, indicating the other dimension (concreteabstract) by the pyramidal shape of the cone. Although Dale's schema appears to be quite derivative of Hoban, Hoban, and Zisman's graph, he does not explicitly acknowledge this source, although he makes several references to their book elsewhere in his textbook.
Misappropriation of the Cone
It is important to discuss what the Cone is not as well as what it is because of a
widespread misrepresentation that has become ubiquitous in recent years. At some point someone conflated Dale's Cone with a spurious chart that purports to show what percentage of information people remember under different learning conditions. As Dwyer points out, the reported percentages are impossible to interpret or verify without specifying at least the method of measurement, the age of the learners, the type of learning task, and the content being remembered (p. 10). Despite the lack of credibility, this
formulation is widely quoted, usually without attribution, and in recent years has become repeatedly conflated with Dale's Cone, with the percentage statements superimposed on the cone, replacing or supplementing Dale's original categories. The examples are too numerous to document here, but are discussed in detail and with citations in Subramony (in press).
In summary, the Cone of Experience is essentially a visual metaphor for the idea that learning activities can be placed in broad categories based on the extent to which they convey the concrete referents of real-life experiences. Although it has sometimes been interpreted as advocating the selection of certain media and methods over others (favoring "realism"), such was
not Dale's stated intent. It has also been interpreted by many as a prescriptive formula for selecting instructional media. Dale's own explanations are nebulous enough to enable a wide variety of interpretations to find support. Finally, there is the contemporary problem of the conflation of the Cone with the "Socony-Vacuum percentages." The fact that the Cone has been taken seriously enough to be used in so many ways testifies to the robustness and attractiveness of Dale's visual metaphor.

Now, why would someone as famous as Tim Curry be here, on the blog of less renown? Because his solo career didn't get the attention it could have, and even a "Best of" CD on A&M was remaindered very quickly. Still known musically for "Rocky Horror," and as an actor, Tim's "straight" albums have been unjustly ignored. I can understand why; he disappointed gays and cultists expecting nothing but campy "Rocky Horror" stuff. His rock style was still too tongue-in-cheek and over-the-top for average rock fans who expected Alice Cooper (very masculine despite the name and make-up) or Mick Jagger (who was clearly hetero despite the"faggot dancing").
Case in point, "All I Really Want," Tim's cover of a classic Joni Mitchell song. With his bombastic trombone-raucous voice, he stomps all over what was originally a cutesy number strummed by an earnest folkie. He sings in italics at times, which makes it a bit campy, BUT…he doesn't stomp in high heels. He also made sure to change some female gender words to male gender in the song.
When I interviewed him, back when the album was new, I asked him if he was deliberately separating himself from his Sweet Transvestite character in "Rocky Horror." Yes, he admitted. He changed "Rip my stockings (in some jukebox dive)" to "bop till I drop"because he very much wanted to present himself as a straight-forward (accent I guess on straight) rocker.
He presented himself as very straight at the interview…not a hint of flamboyance, not even some kind of Mick Jagger or Warren Beatty apricot nylon scarf. He was dressed conservatively in black slacks and a white shirt, with a skinny tie hanging undone around an open collar. As for Bonnie Miss Mitchell (Bon Joni), Tim admitted, "I found a certain sense of self in her songs," and he had a good time changing the phrasing to satirize and reflect it: "All I really really want our love to do, is to bring out the best in ME. And in you, too." Even if the effect is a bit tart and Bette Midler-catty, he still resisted any hint of transgender. "I want to knit you a sweater" becomes "I want a hand up your sweater."
Unfortunately for Mr. Curry, the occasional wry cover version ("Harlem On My Mind" by Irving Berlin), or song reeking of flamboyant costume choices ("Birds of a Feather") went just a bit too far for some straights, which is quite ironic considering that Tim worked with Alice Cooper's producer Dick Wagner. To me, his songs weren't overly fruity, just playful in the same spirit as Jagger's "queer sounding" numbers such as "Miss You," or "When The Whip Comes Down."
All he really, really wanted to do…was to be a rock star…bringing out the best in himself…and entertaining you, too.

Trying to create a top ten anticipated game list 2014 this early in the year would be impossible. There are still a lot of games not even announced yet from major and indie studios alike that will release this year. So consider this a work in progress and subject to change. This list is in no particular order, and I've included links to video trailers for each game that will tell (and show) you far more than I can about each title.
Based on the original Ridley Scott film. Survival horror, not another mindless shooter. This looks VERY promising.
While I'm not a huge shooter fan, when you add mechs, you have my attention. This is Call of Duty crossed with District 9.
The Forest is like Don't Starve crossed with LOST and featuring cannibals! Keep your DayZ and RUST griefing playgrounds. THIS is my idea of a survival game.
Ubisoft is producing a game that looks beautiful, has an interesting female protagonist, and features side-scrolling gameplay mixed with an active battle system that reminds me of Final Fantasy games.
Since I'm not buying a Xbox One just for Halo, it's lucky for me that Bungie's next game is coming to PS4. I love the older Halo titles, and I'm curious to see if lightning will strike twice. I'm also hooked on the setting, the story and the class design I've seen thus far in Destiny.
From what I can tell so far, Deep Down has dungeon exploration and boss fights similar to Dark Souls combined with a modern/near future world story similar to Assassin's Creed.
As soon as I saw the trailer for this game, I was hooked. It even makes companion apps seem sexy. Easily one of my most anticipated titles.
Tesla energy weapons, zeppelins and werewolves. What's not to love? According to the wiki: "The Order: 1886 is set in an alternate history where an old order of knights keep all of the world safe from half bred monsters, who are a combination of animal and man." Count me in!
This just released on Steam, and I have to play it. It has a fantastic art style, a norse-based setting and a dark, mature story line. Oh, and the turn-based combat is icing on the cake. I'll be buying this one soon.
While Episode 1 already released in 2013, I'm counting it as a 2014 game since the other 4 of 5 episodes in the story will release this year. I loved The Walking Dead, and from what I've played so far, The Wolf Among Us may just top it.

Grimms' Fairy Tales
Compare this fairy tale in two languages
The three little men in the wood
There was once a man, whose wife was dead, and a woman, whose husband was dead; and the man had a daughter, and so had the woman. The girls were acquainted with each other, and used to play together sometimes in the woman's house. So the woman said to the man's daughter, "Listen to me, tell your father that I will marry him, and then you shall have milk to wash in every morning and wine to drink, and my daughter shall have water to wash in and water to drink." The girl went home and told her father what the woman had said.
The man said, "What shall I do! Marriage is a joy, and also a torment." At last, as he could come to no conclusion, he took off his boot, and said to his daughter, "Take this boot, it has a hole in the sole; go up with it into the loft, hang it on the big nail and pour water in it. If it holds water, I will once more take to me a wife; if it lets out the water, so will I not."
The girl did as she was told, but the water held the hole together, and the boot was full up to the top. So she went and told her father how it was. And he went up to see with his own eyes, and as there was no mistake about it, he went to the widow and courted her, and then they had the wedding.
The next morning, when the two girls awoke, there stood by the bedside of the man's daughter milk to wash in and wine to drink, and by the bedside of the woman's daughter there stood water to wash in and water to drink. On the second morning there stood water to wash in and water to drink for both of them alike. On the third morning there stood water to wash in and water to drink for the man's daughter, and milk to wash in and wine to drink for the woman's daughter; and so it remained ever after. The woman hated her stepdaughter, and never knew how to treat her badly enough from one day to another. And she was jealous because her stepdaughter was pleasant and pretty, and her real daughter was ugly and hateful.
Once in winter, when it was freezing hard, and snow lay deep on hill and valley, the woman made a frock out of paper, called her stepdaughter, and said, "Here, put on this frock, go out into the wood and fetch me a basket of strawberries; I have a great wish for some."
"Oh dear," said the girl, "there are no strawberries to be found in winter; the ground is frozen, and the snow covers everything. And why should I go in the paper frock? it is so cold out of doors that one's breath is frozen; the wind will blow through it, and the thorns will tear it off my back!"
"How dare you contradict me!" cried the stepmother, "be off, and don't let me see you again till you bring me a basket of strawberries." Then she gave her a little piece of hard bread, and said, "That will do for you to eat during the day," and she thought to herself, "She is sure to be frozen or starved to death out of doors, and I shall never set eyes on her again."
So the girl went obediently, put on the paper frock, and started out with the basket. The snow was lying everywhere, far and wide, and there was not a blade of green to be seen. When she entered the wood she saw a little house with three little men peeping out of it. She wished them good day, and knocked modestly at the door. They called her in, and she came into the room and sat down by the side of the oven to warm herself and eat her breakfast. The little men said, "Give us some of it."
"Willingly," answered she, breaking her little piece of bread in two, and giving them half. They then said, "What are you doing here in the wood this winter time in your little thin frock?"
"Oh," answered she, "I have to get a basket of strawberries, and I must not go home without them." When she had eaten her bread they gave her a broom, and told her to go and sweep the snow away from the back door. When she had gone outside to do it the little men talked among themselves about what they should do for her, as she was so good and pretty, and had shared her bread with them. Then the first one said, "She shall grow prettier every day." The second said, "Each time she speaks a piece of gold shall fall from her mouth." The third said, "A king shall come and take her for his wife."
In the meanwhile the girl was doing as the little men had told her, and had cleared the snow from the back of the little house, and what do you suppose she found? fine ripe strawberries, showing dark red against the snow! Then she joyfully filled her little basket full, thanked the little men, shook hands with them all, and ran home in haste to bring her stepmother the thing she longed for. As she went in and said, "Good evening," a piece of gold fell from her mouth at once. Then she related all that had happened to her in the wood, and at each word that she spoke gold pieces fell out of her mouth, so that soon they were scattered all over the room.
"Just look at her pride and conceit!" cried the stepsister, "throwing money about in this way!" but in her heart she was jealous because of it, and wanted to go too into the wood to fetch strawberries. But the mother said, "No, my dear little daughter, it is too cold, you will be frozen to death." But she left her no peace, so at last the mother gave in, got her a splendid fur coat to put on, and gave her bread and butter and cakes to eat on the way.
The girl went into the wood and walked straight up to the little house. The three little men peeped out again, but she gave them no greeting, and without looking round or taking any notice of them she came stumping into the room, sat herself down by the oven, and began to eat her bread and butter and cakes.
"Give us some of that," cried the little men, but she answered, "I've not enough for myself; how can I give away any?" Now when she had done with her eating, they said, "Here is a broom, go and sweep all clean by the back door."
"Oh, go and do it yourselves," answered she; "I am not your housemaid." But when she saw that they were not going to give her anything, she went out to the door. Then the three little men said among themselves, "What shall we do to her, because she is so unpleasant, and has such a wicked jealous heart, grudging everybody everything?" The first said, "She shall grow uglier every day." The second said, "Each time she speaks a toad shall jump out of her mouth at every word." The third said, "She shall die a miserable death."
The girl was looking outside for strawberries, but as she found none, she went sulkily home. And directly she opened her mouth to tell her mother what had happened to her in the wood a toad sprang out of her mouth at each word, so that every one who came near her was quite disgusted.
The stepmother became more and more set against the man's daughter, whose beauty increased day by day, and her only thought was how to do her some injury. So at last she took a kettle, set it on the fire, and scalded some yarn in it. When it was ready she hung it over the poor girl's shoulder, and gave her an axe, and she was to go to the frozen river and break a hole in the ice, and there to rinse the yarn. She obeyed, and went and hewed a hole in the ice, and as she was about it there came by a splendid coach, in which the King sat. The coach stood still, and the King said, "My child, who art thou, and what art thou doing there?"
She answered, "I am a poor girl, and am rinsing yarn." Then the King felt pity for her, and as he saw that she was very beautiful, he said, "Will you go with me?"
"Oh yes, with all my heart," answered she; and she felt very glad to be out of the way of her mother and sister.
So she stepped into the coach and went off with the King; and when they reached his castle the wedding was celebrated with great splendour, as the little men in the wood had foretold.
At the end of a year the young Queen had a son; and as the stepmother had heard of her great good fortune she came with her daughter to the castle, as if merely to pay the King and Queen a visit. One day, when the King had gone out, and when nobody was about, the bad woman took the Queen by the head, and her daughter took her by the heels, and dragged her out of bed, and threw her out of the window into a stream that flowed beneath it. Then the old woman put her ugly daughter in the bed, and covered her up to her chin.
When the King came back, and wanted to talk to his wife a little, the old woman cried, "Stop, stop! she is sleeping nicely; she must be kept quiet to day." The King dreamt of nothing wrong, and came again the next morning; and as he spoke to his wife, and she answered him, there jumped each time out of her mouth a toad instead of the piece of gold as heretofore. Then he asked why that should be, and the old woman said it was because of her great weakness, and that it would pass away.
But in the night, the boy who slept in the kitchen saw how something in the likeness of a duck swam up the gutter, and said,
"My King, what mak'st thou?
Sleepest thou, or wak'st thou?"
But there was no answer. Then it said,
"What cheer my two guests keep they?"
So the kitchen-boy answered,
"In bed all soundly sleep they."
It asked again,
"And my little baby, how does he?"
And he answered,
"He sleeps in his cradle quietly."
Then the duck took the shape of the Queen and went to the child, and gave him to drink, smoothed his little bed, covered him up again, and then, in the likeness of a duck, swam back down the gutter. In this way she came two nights, and on the third she said to the kitchen-boy, "Go and tell the King to brandish his sword three times over me on the threshold!" Then the kitchen-boy ran and told the King, and he came with his sword and brandished it three times over the duck, and at the third time his wife stood before him living, and hearty, and sound, as she had been before.
The King was greatly rejoiced, but he hid the Queen in a chamber until the Sunday came when the child was to be baptized. And after the baptism he said, "What does that person deserve who drags another out of; bed and throws him in the water?"
And the old woman answered, "No better than to be put into a cask with iron nails in it, and to be rolled in it down the hill into the water." Then said the King, "You have spoken your own sentence;"and he ordered a cask to be fetched, and the old woman and her daughter were put into it, and the top hammered down, and the cask was rolled down the hill into the river.
从前,有个男人死了妻子,有个女人死了丈夫。 这个男人有个女儿,这个女人也有个女儿。 两个小姑娘互相认识,经常一起出去散步。 有一天,她们散完步后一起来到女人的家里,女人对男人的女儿说:"听着,告诉你爸爸,说我愿意嫁给他,从此你天天早晨都能用牛奶洗脸,还能喝上葡萄酒,而我自己的女儿只能用水洗脸,也只能喝清水。"小姑娘回到家中,把女人的话告诉了她爸爸。 男人说:"我该怎么办呢?结婚是喜事,可也会带来痛苦。"他迟迟拿不定主意,最后脱下一只靴子,说:"这只靴子的底上有个洞。你把它拎到阁楼上去,把它挂在一根大钉子上,然后往里面灌些水。要是水没有漏出来,我就再娶个妻子;可要是水漏了出来,我就不娶。"姑娘按她父亲所说的办了。 可是水使得洞胀拢了,靴子里灌满了水也没有漏出来。 她把结果告诉了她父亲,父亲又亲自上来察看,看到情况果然如此,便去向那寡妇求婚,然后举行了婚礼。
第一天早晨,两个姑娘起来后,在男人的女儿的面前果然放着洗脸的牛奶和喝的葡萄酒,而在女人的女儿的面前放着的只有洗脸的清水和喝的清水。 第二天早晨,男人的女儿和女人的女儿的面前都放着洗脸的清水和喝的清水。 到了第三天早晨,男人的女儿的面前放着洗脸用的清水和喝的清水,而女人的女儿的面前却放着洗脸用的牛奶和喝的葡萄酒。 以后天天都是这样。 那女人成了她继女的死敌,对她一天坏似一天,她还万分嫉妒她的继女,因为她的继女美丽可爱,而她自己的女儿又丑又令人讨厌。
冬天到了,一切都冻得像石头一样硬,山顶和山谷都被大雪覆盖着。 一天,女人用纸做了件衣服,把她的继女叫过来,说:"听着,你穿上这件衣服,到森林里去给我采一篮草莓,我很想吃。""天哪!"姑娘说,"冬天怎么会有草莓呢?地上都结了冰,大雪把一切都盖住了,再说,我怎么能穿着这身纸衣服出去呢?外面冷得连呼出的气都能冻起来。风会往这衣服里面吹,荆棘也会把它挂破的。""你敢跟我顶嘴?"继母说,"你快给我去!要是没有采到一篮草莓,你就别想回来!"然后她又给姑娘一小块硬梆梆的面包,说:"这是你一天的口粮,"心里却在想:"你在外面不会冻死也会饿死的,别想再回来烦我。"
姑娘只好顺从地穿上纸衣服,提着篮子走了出去。 外面一片冰天雪地,连一棵绿草都找不到。 她来到森林里后,看到一座小房子,里面有三个小矮人在向外张望。 她向他们问好 ,然后轻轻地敲了敲门。 他们叫"进来",她便走进屋,坐在炉子旁的长凳上烤火,吃她的早饭。 小矮人们说:"也分一点给我们吧。""好的,"她说着便把面包掰成两半,给了他们一半。 他们问:"你大冬天穿着这身薄薄的衣服到森林里来干吗?""唉,"她回答,"我得采一篮草莓,否则我就回不了家了。"等她吃完面包后,他们递给她一把扫帚,说:"去帮我们把后门的雪扫掉吧。"可等她出去后,三个小矮人却商量了起来:"她这么可爱,又把面包分给了我们,我们送她什么好呢?"第一个矮人说:"我送给她的礼物是:她一天比一天更美丽。"第二个矮人说:"我送给她的礼物是:她一开口说话就吐出金子来。"第三个矮人说:"我送给她的礼物是:一个国王娶她当王后。"
姑娘这时正按照他们的吩咐,用扫帚把小屋后面的雪扫掉。 她看到了什么? 雪下面露出了红彤彤的草莓! 她高兴极了,赶紧装了满满一篮子,谢了小矮人,还和他们一一握手道别,然后带着她继母垂涎的东西跑回家去了。 谁知,她进门刚说了声"晚上好",嘴里就掉出来一块金子! 于是,她把自己在森林里遇到的事情讲了出来,而且每讲一句,嘴里就掉出来一块金子,弄得家里很快就堆满了金子。 "瞧她那副德行!"继母的女儿嚷道,"就这样乱扔金子!"她心里嫉妒得要命,也渴望着到森林里去采草莓。 她母亲却说:"不行,我的好女儿,外面太冷了,你会冻死的。"可是她女儿缠着不放,她最后只好让步。 她给女儿缝了件皮袄,硬要她穿上;然后又给她抹了黄油的面包和蛋糕,让她带着路上吃。
这个姑娘进了森林之后,径直向小屋走去。 三个小矮人又在屋里向外张望,可是她根本不和他们打招呼,既不看他们,也不和他们说话,大摇大摆地走进屋,一屁股坐到炉子旁,吃起自己的面包和蛋糕来。 "分一点给我们吧,"小矮人们说;可是她却回答:"这都不够我自己吃的,怎么能分给别人呢?"等她吃完,他们又说:"这里有把扫帚,把后门的雪扫干净。"她回答:"我又不是你们的佣人。"看到他们不会给她任何礼物了,她便自己冲出了屋子。 三个小矮人商量道:"像她这种坏心肠的小懒鬼,又不肯施舍给别人东西,我们该送她什么呢?"第一个矮人说:"我让她长得一天比一天丑!"第二个矮人说:"我让她一开口说话就从嘴里跳出一只癞蛤蟆!"第三个矮人说:"我让她不得好死!"姑娘在屋外找草莓,可一个也找不到,只好气鼓鼓地回家去了。 她开口给母亲讲自己在森林里的遭遇,可是,她每讲一句话,嘴里就跳出来一只癞蛤蟆,把大家都吓坏了。
这一来继母更是气坏了,千方百计地盘算着怎么折磨丈夫的女儿,可是这姑娘却长得一天比一天更美。 终于,继母取出一只锅子,架在火堆上 ,在里面煮线团。 线团煮过之后,她把它捞出来,搭在姑娘的肩膀上,然后又给姑娘一把斧头,让她去结冰的小河,在冰面上凿一个洞,在洞里漂洗线团。 姑娘顺从地来到河边,走到河中央凿冰。 她正凿着,岸上驶来了一辆华丽的马车,里面坐着国王。 马车停了下来,国王问:"姑娘,你是谁?在这里干什么?""我是个可怜的女孩,在这里漂洗线团。"国王很同情她,而且又看到她长得这么美丽,便对她说:"你愿意和我一起走吗?""当然愿意啦。"她回答,因为她非常高兴能离开继母和继母的女儿。 姑娘坐到国王的马车上,和国王一起回到宫中。 他俩立刻就举行了婚礼,正像三个小矮人许诺过的一样。 一年后,年轻的王后生下了一个儿子。 她的继母早已听说她交上了好运,这时也带着亲生女儿来到王宫,假装是来看王后的。 可是看到国王刚出去,而且旁边又没有别人,这坏心肠的女人就抓住王后的头,她的女儿抓住王后的脚,把她从床上抬下来,从窗口把她扔进了外面的大河里。 然后,继母的丑女儿躺在床上,老婆子从头到脚把她盖了起来。 当国王回到房间,想和他的妻子说话的时候,老婆子叫了起来:"嘘,唬,不要打搅她,她现在正在发汗。今天不要打搅她。"国王丝毫没有怀疑,一直等到第二天早晨才过来。 他和妻子说话,谁知她刚开口,嘴里就跳出来一只癞蛤蟆,而不像从前那样掉出金子来。 国王问这是怎么回事,老婆子便说这是发汗发出来的,很快就会好的。 但是当天夜里,王宫里的小帮工看见一只鸭子从下水道里游了出来,而且听见它说:
你是睡着了还是醒着? "
鸭子变成了王后的模样,上去给孩子喂奶,摇着他的小床,给他盖好被子,然后又变成鸭子,从下水道游走了。 她这样一连来了两个晚上,第三天晚上,她对小帮工说:"你去告诉国王,让他带上他的宝剑,站在门槛上,在我的头上挥舞三下。"小帮工赶紧跑去告诉国王,国王提着宝剑来了,在那幽灵的头顶上挥舞了三下。 他刚舞到第三下,她的妻子就站在了他的面前,像以前一样健康强壮。 国王高兴极了,可他仍然把王后藏进密室,等着礼拜天婴儿受洗的日子到来。 洗礼结束之后,他说:"要是有人把别人从床上拖下来,并且扔进河里,这个人该受到什么样的惩罚?"老婆子说:"对这样坏心肠的人,最好的惩罚是把他装进里面插满了钉子的木桶,从山坡上滚到河里去。""那么,"国王说,"你已经为自己做出了判决。"国王命令搬来一只这样的木桶,把老婆子和她的女儿装进去,并且把桶盖钉死,把桶从山坡上滚了下去,一直滚到河心。

I don't know why hackers and cyber criminals are only after Android and Google play. The news of Stagefright virus is still hot, now comes another serious malware threat to Google Play and Android. Here even if you do not download apps from untrusted sources, there is no escape. Ghost Push, a Trojan-style malware has managed to creep into the Google Play and hide itself inside applications. As per report it's supposed to affect 90k Android devices. The malware obtains root access and installs malicious apps and send never ending ads on your device.
This is another blow to Android's rising popularity.

Two Queen Beds
Hotel Close to Downtown San Francisco
Room 109 on our second floor (no elevator available) starts at $168.00* per night and is the perfect fit for guests looking for a hotel on Divisadero Street and desiring a little more space. Two queen beds in this room we call The Lion's Den because of its paintings of a lion and tiger, provide a restful retreat for two or more guests. In the room you'll find a flat screen TV, a spacious private bathroom, and complimentary WiFi Internet access. It also has a wall and door that separate the two beds for added privacy.
"Wow! What an amazing find! After trolling the Internet for a decent place to stay, everything was either booked or super expensive. Now that I have found The Metro Hotel, I will never stay anywhere else while visiting the city. Are the rooms ginormous? No, but it wasn't claustrophobic either. The room had two queen beds and was super clean and modern. The cute little sitting area in the window was awesome, and the windows actually completely opened. Front desk staff was amazingly nice and super helpful. They called cabs, offered recommendations and were able to answer any questions. I can't praise this place enough!"
– Sara, Yelp
*A city tax of 16.25% will be added to room rates. All rates are subject to change without notice based on space/availability.

Pakistan falls to 77th position (The NEWS)
By Mansoor Ahmad
LAHORE: Pakistan has been relegated from 74th to 77th rank in 'ease of doing business' by the World Bank and needs to introduce wide-ranging reforms in enforcement of contracts, employment of workers and payment of taxes in order to improve its ranking.
The World Bank report on Doing Business has rated Singapore as the best place in 'ease of doing business'. Malaysia, ranked 20th, is the top Muslim country in the index which evaluated 181 economies, improving its ranking from 25th position in 2008. Pakistan which was ranked 74th in 2008 is placed at 77th place for 2009.
The World Bank has evaluated these rankings on the basis of official procedures and data gathered from member countries. It does not, for example, examine security, macroeconomic stability, corruption, labour skills of the population, underlying strength of institutions and quality of infrastructure. Continue reading

SexArt – Tina Kay Lure (07.2017)
Gorgeous Tina Kay slips on a thong and satin slip to perform an arousing striptease for Kristof Cale, at the start of Andrej Lupin's erotic celebration "Lure." By the time she's naked, Kristof is practically begging the hot babe with the perfect body to join him in bed. When she does, she slides her hand under the covers to stroke his stiff cock, then fondles it through his shorts before unleashing it. She caresses up and down the thick shaft as she sucks hard on the head, trailing her tongue over it, then sucking it deeper. Tina straddles Kristof and feeds his big cock into her tight, shaved pussy, sliding up and down slowly and deliberately to get maximum penetration on each downward stroke, as he squeezes her peachy ass. Gripping onto the headboard, Tina starts riding faster and faster, gasping as she slams down harder onto Kristof's dick, her beautiful breasts jiggling. Tina spins around into a sixty-nine, jerking and sucking Kristof's cock as he laps voraciously at her sodden pussy; then she impales herself again in reverse cowgirl, bouncing and grinding vigorously. They move into spoons, Tina encouraging her man with her blissful moans, and then into missionary. Tina orgasms noisily as Kristof drives into her over and over, and then fills her stretched-open pussy with his hot cum. The horny lovers shower together, no doubt as the prelude to some more energetic fucking.

An olden but golden video from a French and Saunders episode. The sketch was called 'The Easy Guitar Book Sketch' and featured David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Gary Moore, Mark King and Lemmy
Blog »
On the eve of their Vivid Live 2014 performance at Sydney's iconic Opera House, Midnight Juggernauts had a quick chat with Roland about their new show "Aerials" and how two instruments of the AIRArange, the TR-8 and SYSTEM-1 have fast become centrepieces of the audio/visual spectacular.
Since the release of their debut album, "Dystopia" in 2007, the Midnight Juggernauts have been at the forefront of the Australian electronic music scene and show no signs of slowing down.
Two of Australasia's most exciting young musicians will join forces this July and August for a co-headline tour across the country. Singer-songwriters Melody Pool, hailing from the Hunter Valley, NSW and Marlon Williams originally from Christchurch, NZ will treat audiences to their outstanding individual talents for a run of shows that are certain to captivate audiences everywhere.
Melody has spent the last 12 months touring the World including a sold-out tour of the UK and Europe with The Milk Carton Kids, and also the Americana Music Festival in Nashville. In June Melody will join Gabrielle Aplin on her Heavenly Sounds shows in both Brisbane and Sydney.
Living up to the hype, Williams featured on SBS' Rockwiz last week and has been announced as main support for the First Aid Kit tour in July. He also performed at the Sydney Opera House in April for TEDx Sydney alongside Megan Washington and Lior. 'Strange Things' (released 28 May) is the first single from Williams' debut solo album, due for release in October. Lilting, quirky, beautiful and haunting, 'Strange Things' offers a taste of Williams dark sense of humour, and ability to find magic in the morbid.

TC-Helicon Announces User-Driven Update to VoiceLive 3
Since its launch in January, VoiceLive 3 has quickly proven itself to be an impressive 3-in-1-performance system for vocal processing, guitar FX and phrase looping, but innovation doesn't stop there. Today, TC-Helicon announces a new firmware update based on user comments and artist suggestions – improving several functions, including a wide variety of fixes, tweaks and upgrades. The biggest overall change is to the feel, accuracy and musicality of the onboard looper, which is destined to make a massive difference for live performance.
"Customer feedback over the last few months has been essential in helping us produce this update and we're pleased to offer it. The response to the Beta versions we've posted has been hugely enthusiastic with users reporting vastly improved feel and a more rewarding overall looping experience. We went through 50 internal test versions to get it exactly how we wanted so, especially regarding the looper, it's a real game-changer." says Product Manager, Tom Lang.
New Update Features
• Looper – Timing precision of record, overdub, swap and playback increased for more natural looping.
• Looper – Allow smart sync from any loop to any loop (A used to have to be the master)
• UI – Added Loop Input options for STEP and Switch-3 (watch the video for an explanation of how it works)
User-Driven Improvements
• Looper – Playback position easier to see (larger/wider bar)
• Looper – Added input and sync mode indicators to the looper screen display
• Looper – Improved sensitivity of waveform display (less likely to show no waveforms with lower level input)
• Looper – More accurate tracking of free space available
• Looper – Added warning for no loop space remaining
• Looper – Show warning if user turns off MET in quantize mode (MET on/mute is required for Quantize to work properly)
• UI – Added popup for loop input changes via STEP and Switch-3
• UI – Added current Key/Scale display to Home screen
• UI – Updated USB drive detection
• UI – Reduce Mixer screen timeout duration
• UI – Added "speedbump" detent to any parameter with symmetric values.
*In english* If the parameter goes equal distances one way and the other, like Pan, it'll stop in the middle now. It makes it much easier to get "back to 0".
• UI – Added expression pedal vocal level target
• UI – Store LED now lights when store page is active
How To Get The Firmware
– Download and install VoiceSupport – TC-Helicon's free app for PC/Mac
– Connect VoiceLive 3 to your computer using the supplied USB cable
– Launch VoiceSupport
– After the updates have downloaded, click on the Firmware tab
– Click on the topmost firmware version. It will likely say "New" next to it.
– Allow the update process to complete. DO NOT UNPLUG OR REBOOT YOUR UNIT!
– The device will come back to normal operating status on its own

Joe Bonamassa has announced his Australian tour dates for September 2014. Kicking off in Sydney on September 14, the whirlwind trip will finish up a week later in Perth on September 21, after shows in Adelaide and Melbourne.
To mark the tour announcement, a new Free Song Download from Joe Bonamassa has been made available. Go to www.jbonamassa.com/freemp3 to claim your copy. The new live show will offer two stellar band line-ups with Joe Bonamassa dividing the show in half, offering audiences both a full acoustic and a full electric set. This will be Bonamassa's first time performing a full acoustic set in Australia for local audiences.
The first set will feature Bonamassa alongside the acoustic band from his #1 Billboard acoustic CD/DVD An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House playing an assortment of rare, vintage, organic and unusual instruments alongside performers Gerry O'Connor (fiddle/mandolin), Mats Wester (Swedish keyed fiddle), and Lenny Castro (percussion). Together they will run through an hour of the celebrated signature acoustic performance from Bonamassa's Vienna show, treating the audience to a gorgeously textured unplugged experience. Bonamassa will then shift into electric mode for the second half of the show, which will feature his acclaimed touring band: Carmine Rojas (bass), Tal Bergman (drums), and new touring keyboardist (and fellow Black Country Communion member) Derek Sherinian.
Recent honours for Bonamassa include his first Grammy nomination for Best Blues Album (Seesaw with Beth Hart), his twelfth #1 Billboard Blues Album (Live In Amsterdam, with Beth Hart) – giving him more Billboard Blues #1 albums than any other artist (surpassing even Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton and the great BB King) and his DVD Joe Bonamassa: Live At The Royal Albert Hall, earning platinum status.

In 1995 Serenity, recognized as one of the best dancers in the industry, was approached to choreograph and perform the opening and closing numbers of The Adult Video News Awards Show. This is the premier awards show for the adult industry and is seen by millions worldwide. This event draws press from CNN, ABC, et. to newspapers around the world! Serenity's work was such an overwhelming success, she choreographed and performed the show the next 3 years!
Serenity has performed at 4 major Las Vegas hotels. Every November from 1996-98, The Riviera Hotel and Casino featured Serenity as a guest performer in their world renowned Crazy Girls Review!
In 1996 Serenity went under contract. Determined to make a name for herself in adult video, Serenity negotiated total control over her movie projects from script, talent and Director, to review of the final edit. This commitment to her work didn't go unnoticed. Every Serenity movie released in 1997 received nominations including a Best Actress nomination for her performance in "Crazed". Serenity pulled the script out of a trash heap and took a chance on the dark scenario! "I read the script, loved it and knew the transformation of the character would be a challenging role." Gene Ross, reviewer for Adult Video News, wrote "Serenity delivers an emotional powerful performance!" This marked Jonathan Morgan's introduction into feature films as Serenity asked for him to be the Director. That decision would turn out to make one of the most decorated Director/Actress duos in adult history! Of the 8000 videos released in 1997, 15 were nominated for best video. Serenity's "Crazed" and "Indigo Delta" were 2 of them! Tom Byron won his first best actor award after being cast by Serenity. In September of 1997 at The Nightmoves Adult Awards Show in Tampa, Serenity received Editor's Choice Award for Best Actress.
In May of 1997, Serenity made her first appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Serenity did over 100 print and television interviews for worldwide media exposure. E! Television took notice of Serenity and profiled her on "Sex on the Riviera 97"! This special went on to become the second most watched travel show in E! history! With the success of this special, E! again approached Serenity. This time to be field producer and co-host for the Las Vegas segment of E!'s "Wild on the Strip". This special allowed Serenity to showcase her ease of interviewing, and also her unique way of profiling her hometown of Las Vegas! The "Wild on the Strip" special went on to become the third highest rated travel show!
Serenity's most challenging role came in February 1998. E! Television wanted Serenity to be hostess for a birthday party. Not just any birthday party, but the "King of All Media" Howard Stern's party! Serenity, with just seconds to get interviews during Howard's breaks, easily got the needed footage,interviewing the likes of Melrose Larry Green, Hank the Angry Dwarf and Allison Stern among others! Serenity earned the nickname, "One Take Serenity!"

Television once again featured Serenity, this time as a correspondent, in their new special "Sex on the Riviera 98"! This show is one of the highest rated travel shows in E! history.
One of Serenity's most ambitious projects was "Pornogothic." This vampire tale featured the mainstream special effect makeup talent of Todd Master. Serenity once again had a hand in every aspect of the movie including the casting. At the time, Serenity remarked "I consider this to be my best movie....for now" she said with a smile! History would dictate otherwise for the blonde beauty! "Pornogothic" was featured prominently at the 1998 VSDA Show in July in Las Vegas. There was also a major release party at The Beach in Las Vegas during VSDA for "Pornogothic". Serenity made a special appearance on The Howard Stern Show June 30, giving away a trip to this party. "Pornogothic" went on to be a #1 rental in the country!
Serenity once again went in front of E! Television cameras in late Summer and Fall of 1998 as correspondent for E!'s new specials, "Wild On the Mediterranean", "Wild in Amsterdam", "Wild on the Hawaiian Islands" and "Wild on The Islands"!
In September of 1998, with 20,000 ballots cast at The Exotic Dancer Awards Show in Las Vegas, Serenity was awarded "1998 Adult Film Entertainer of the Year"! A week later with 8000 ballots cast at The 1998 Nightmoves Award Show in Tampa, Serenity won "The 1998 Best Actress Award"!
On October 24,1998, Serenity was the cyber-host of the world's most recognized Holloween Party, The 19th Annual Exotic Erotic Ball! The event was held in front of 20,000 people at The Cow Palace in San Jose and to millions around the world on the Internet!
On Nov. 7,1998 Serenity made her network TV debut on CBS's "Howard Stern Radio Show!" Serenity was on for the entire hour of the Shock Jocks' controversial show! Serenity's correspondent skills also caught the eye of Playboy TV, as Serenity co-hosted and performed for Playboy's Strip Search: Las Vegas. This special aired in November of "98" on Playboy TV.
For many years, Serenity was the Publisher for Deja Vu Showgirls Magazine, writing a monthly column as well as articles and answering reader mail. Serenity also hosted the finals of Deja Vu's $10,000 Showgirl of the Year and $10,000 Deja Vu Pol-ympics competitions numerous times.
1999 was a red hot year for Serenity! Serenity was once again involved in The AVN Award Show! Serenity was hostess for the International seen event held at Ballys in Las Vegas. This show was seen by millions worldwide! Also in January, Serenity became the first adult performer to perform at a political fund-raiser, making a special appearance for Tampa City Council candidate Joe Redner. This performance made international headlines from the national radio show Bob and Tom to Reuters's News Agency! In April, E! once again thrust Serenity in front of the cameras! This time for their "Wild on the Caribbean" special shot in Hedonism, Jamaica! In May, Serenity shot the E! special "Wild on the Riviera 99" covering that year's Cannes Film Festival!
In 1999, Serenity was additionally featured on Bravo, The USA Network and Fox Television. On June 23rd, Serenity appeared on the premier week episode of Comedy Central's new series, "The Man Show"! Serenity was seen once again on "The Man Show" on July 21st! In September 1999, Serenity was a celebrity guest on Los Angeles's Fox 11 program "Good Day LA!"

Signing thousands of autographs at the Axis Group booth and then bringing the Sexpo Convention to a stop with her dance performances as 7000 people watched in awe toward the main stage! Foxtel Arena's "The Hub" profiled the blonde beauty as she gave an insight into the adult industry, even asking some startled Aussies if they wanted to film a movie with her!
Serenity's hard work paid off in January 2000 at the AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas! Serenity was overwhelmingly awarded Best Actress for her role in "Double Feature" which went on to win an unprecedented 10 awards, including Best Comedy! This is the most awards by any one movie in AVN history!
Serenity jumped back in front of the television cameras late Winter 2000 for E!'s "Wild on Park City" and will film E!'s "Wild on Adventure" ,her 21st E! special, in her hometown of Las Vegas! At the January 2001 AVN show, Serenity made adult film history! She became the first actress in the history of the awards show to win Best Actress-Video back-to-back for her work in Wicked's "M... Caught in the Act!" This video also won Best Sex Comedy. The second year in a row for Director Jonathan Morgan and Serenity.
Serenity's appeal and reputation are quickly expanding! She has been approached to be in upcoming mainstream movies and host various television programs! Serenity is also busy with a new endeavor..... as owner of Las Vegas Novelties! The hottest adult novelty company to come along in a long time! With continued award worthy performances, E! specials and more, Serenity has placed herself among the true legends of the adult entertaiment industry!
"Well, there you have it all you wanted to know but were afraid to ask! For all the hardcore and personal stuff not in my official bio, join my brand new website today!" Lustfully,
Serenity is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.

Obagi Tretinoin Cream 0.05%
- Brand: Obagi Medical
- Product Code: 5003943
- Reward Points: 2
- Availability: In Stock
- $102.00
Size: 0.7 oz (20 g)
Give your skin the upper hand with the next tier of Tretinoin treatments. Tretinoin Cream 0.05% is a stronger and more powerful skin rejuvenation regimen. It goes on smooth and lightweight to reduce the appearance and prevalence of acne breakouts, hyper pigmentation, and the effects of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Skin will be softer, calmer and smoother after each use, and your skin will appear more luminous and glowing.
Please Note: Please follow instructions carefully to avoid any harsh skin reactions. The use of Hydroquinone and Retinol is not recommended during pregnancy or in children under the age of 12. It is not known whether topical Hydroquinoine or Retinol affects human milk, so its use is not recommended for nursing mothers. Hydroquinone and Retinol can cause sensitivity, so it is recommended to test a small amount of bleaching cream or gel on the skin and wait 24 hours. Minor redness is expected, but if you experience blistering or an excessive amount of inflammation discontinue use. If no lightening is noted after 2 months of treatment, the medication should also be discontinued.
Regimen: Wash with a mild, non-medicated cleanser. Do not scrub. Allow skin to dry to 20-30 minutes before applying Tretinoin. It is important for skin to be completely dry to minimize irritation. Apply Tretinoin every other night with Obagi NuDerm Blender as directed by a physician. Use only half an inch of cream to spread over the face. Do not oversaturate the skin. Avoid the corners of the nose, mouth, eyes, and open wounds. If excessive peeling or irritation occurs, then reduce use to two nights a week. If redness, swelling, or irritation continues, discontinue use.
Caution: Therapy with Tretenoin may make your skin more susceptible to sunburn and other adverse effects of the sun. Apply a moisturizer with sunscreen every morning after cleansing. Also, try to avoid excessive exposure to wind or cold.
Be Patient: Tretinoin takes time to work deep within your skin. Some discomfort or peeling may occur in early days of treatment. This should subside in 2 to 4 weeks. By 3 to 6 weeks, acne may worsen. This is normal. Continue using Tretinoin and you should notice an improvement in 6 to 12 weeks.
Ingredients: Tretinoin 0.05%, Stearic Acid, Isoprpyl Myristate, Polyoxyl 40 Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, Sorbic Acid, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Purified Water

This version has lots of changes to system configuration, in particular:
- Now only has a 'share' user and group instead of a 'nfs' user and group.
- Above change means this system image should not be used with ZFSguru web-interface versions older than 0.2-beta3.
- the login menu now has a different drawing of borders, which is less pretty but side-effect of system changes.
- not equipped with any services; only the liveCD has built-in services now.

What We Believe
Bethany Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice for the Christian. Romans 10:17; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- God the Father: We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
- Jesus Christ: We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, visible return in power and glory.
- The Holy Spirit: We believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.
We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are born again by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body in which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, composed of born again, immersed believers, spiritually united for the purpose of edification and evangelization.
We believe that the Christian should live for the glory of God and the well-being of his fellow men; that his conduct should be blameless before the world; that he should be a faithful steward of his possessions, and that he should seek to realize for himself and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.
We believe that the Lord has committed two ordinances to the local church–Baptism, which is the immersion of the believer in water into the name of the Triune God, and the Lord's Supper, which is the commemoration of Christ's death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that every human being has direct relationship with God, is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that therefore the Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, and each fulfill its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.
We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperation with one another in a denominational organization; our affiliation being that of Converge Worldwide (formerly the Baptist General Conference). Cooperation in a Conference is voluntary and denominational fellowships on a voluntary, independent basis.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Communion, Baptism or Child Dedication are important components of our church too!

Selected Works
Find a Doctor Tool
After a thorough audit of the Dignity Health's enterprise site, we found an opportunity to optimize the existing Find a Doctor tool experience. Our goal was to deliver an effective search tool that would support our primary user's mission to find a primary care physician or specialist nearby, offer intelligent features that guide the user, and diminish any friction in the experience for ease of use.
We began by identifying user personas who use our Find a Doctor tool and took stock of pain points in the existing experience. We did a competitive analysis with our direct competitors. We brainstormed new features that would align with key decision making needs, such as do they take my insurance, take on new patients, and are within 25 miles of my location. We built user flows, wireframes, and visual designs and brought our ideas together to launch an MVP product. In addition to working directly with Dignity Health's engineering partner, we provided the Dignity Health team and engineers extremely detailed UX/UI specifications streamline our workflow.

Find a Doctor Tool
Health Matters is an Dignity Health initiative to offer valuable information about general wellness, specialty care, practicing care and the power of compassion to patients around the world. I created a newsletter design template that would highlight their Health Matter articles, as well as cross promote their other campaign initiatives that emphasize the importance of compassionate care.

Online Waiting Tool
I worked with the folks at Dignity Health improve the overall quality of the Online Waiting Room experience. We simplified the search tool and offered users default search results based on their location. We added easy one-click appointment bookings that integrates with Dignity Health's InQuicker software. We added visual imagery and educational information that would help users to self-identify which facility is best suited for their medical needs. We upgraded our experience to be mobile responsive. Additionally, we created consistent and strategic campaign messaging across key touch points throughout the enterprise site to market our product launch.

Among Mad People
Techie by day, hip hop dancer by night. Dancing has always been a passion of mine since I was 15 years old.
Finding a rehearsal space is difficult, so I created a platform for artists to list their studio space for rent. Artists from a wide spectrum of creative disciplines (i.e. dancers, painters, photographers, sound engineers) can find art studios for rent to facilitate their creative process. Concourse was featured on Product Hunt and in Adobe Typekit's first commercial introducing Typekit Marketplace. I bartered my way to develop this site (See TodayTomorrow). In doing so, I've gained a wealth of knowledge on how to build an MVP product without funding and without being backed by a PR firm. It's been a hell of a ride so far and an amazing opportunity for me to grow as a designer, leader in my field, and an entrepreneur.
This is a on-going project and I am writing about my process and the what I discovered along the way.

Polymer Mallard
Creative technologist, Matt Kenefick, from Polymer Mallard is changing the way we meet up with our friends. Spend less time planning and more time hanging out. Unlike a planning app, TodayTomorrow only allows you to post events for today and tomorrow. You can casually find out what your friends are up and spontaneously latch on to plans as you like. TodayTomorrow was a special project for me because it was the catalyst to launching Concourse.co, a platform for artists. Matt wanted to create an app and I wanted to build a site. We decided to barter services to get these projects up and running. We were able to launch both projects within a couple months. Win, Win.

Airbnb Guest Onboarding
Airbnb is known for creating a trusted online community marketplace for travelers to discover and book unique accommodations around the world. Airbnb is dedicated to building the best host and guest user interaction model. Airbnb hired us to sift through the guest onboarding flow and explore designs that would improve the host's experience. A host's experience would greatly improve if we prompt guests to divulge more information about themselves. We explored several different interaction models in the sign in, sign up, and request to book flows. These designs were then sent over for A/B testing.Read About Guest On-boarding Process →

Flavor Bible
This project was inspired by The Flavor Bible, a wonderful culinary book written by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg. The Flavor Bible reveals the science behind ingredients, their flavors, and how ingredients are paired. As it turns out, there are only a finite amount of ingredients that can fit within a 400 page book. Arbitrary approached me to concept The Flavor Bible's digital counterpart which could house an infinite amount of ingredients, their flavor profiles, flavor affinities, findings, and anecdotes from professional chefs. My designs facilitate the user's primary goal, to research ingredients and related content. It also focuses on alternative exploratory components that exposes users to new content and content related to their location, time, season, and what's currently happening in the culinary industry.

Right, so didn't exactly follow my plan of trying to blog more since I created this, but let's hope I can put that right now. Anyway...
As I've been discussing this totally mental plan to try and get the OU to let me finish my degree sooner, I thought I might as well explain it. If nothing else, at least I'm getting my ideas down onto paper so that I can think things through.
Basically things have not been going according to plan at work. I've always planned to go and do a Masters course at some point, which if I take my time I should
have started in October 2012. But with work not going well, I need another option. And I'm not going to be in an office doing this forever, right? So I looked into trying to start in October 2011.
However, in order to do this I need to fit in three more courses: one at Level 2 and two at Level 3. I've already signed up for the Level 2 course, AD281, which will start in a few months time.
I've then decided to sign up for these two Level 3 courses: AA300 and A330 (I think!).
So those three courses at 60 credit points each would work out like this...
At 60 points each, it looks a little insane doesn't it? But there would only be an overlap for four months. The rest of the year I would only be doing 120 points at a time, which is what I've been managing anyway right now. And if things with the job don't go according to plan I could have a lot more time to spend on uni work!
Obviously this is a last resort, because it's a bit of a risk with the grades which may well slip a little. But it's worth the risk right? What else am I going to do? If I'm not going to be doing admin in some office forever, I might as well get on with it and push forward. (And if you know me, you know I like a challenge. This is the sort of challenge I like!) A proper job is always going to be the number one choice, but I think this is a brilliant alternative... don't you think?
And look at what I've got to come with my Masters - whether it be in 2011 or 2012! ....
Any opinions - whether here or on Twitter - are quite welcome :)

Shark Cage Diving Safety – Do's & Dont's On The Boat
When it comes to the safety aspect of shark cage diving, this is never overlooked. Shark cage diving safety is naturally extremely important and divers can be certain that African Shark Eco-Charters follows all the necessary safety procedures and regulations.
We comply with a strict set of safety rules and regulations set out by SAMSA (South African Maritime Safety Authority). Before embarking on a shark cage diving trip, a safety briefing is conducted. The location of all safety and emergency equipment is pointed out to the guests. A full medical first aid kit is available on board and our crew are trained to handle emergency situations. This relieves the worry of our guests so that they can relax and enjoy their shark cage diving trip with us.
During the shark cage diving trip, there are a few do's and dont's that guests need to comply with. These include:
- Pay attention and listen carefully to the skipper during the safety talk.
- Take note of where the life jackets and safety equipment are.
- Only 6 persons allowed on the viewing platform at a time.
- Don't walk to the bow (front) of the boat when the boat is "running".
- No smoking.
- No littering in the ocean.
- No touching or poking the sharks with any objects.
- Do not put your hands or arms outside the shark cage.
- Obey the dive master or crew when in the cage at all times.
- No jumping or diving overboard.
- No interfering with any of the marine/wildlife.
- If you feel you need to be sick, please do not get sick in the cabin, but rather over the side of the boat.

Louisiana native Matt Moseley is swimming across Lake Pontchartrain on April 23 to support the Save Our Lake foundation.
Moseley, who lives in Boulder, Colorado also invited friend Coco Robicheaux, the New Orleans bluesman, to ride along. Local riverboat captain Alan Buras will head the support crew.
Moseley has made a name for himself doing these open water swims here out West, including a record-breaking 50-mile swim down the Colorado River a few years back.

Phosphate, Silicate, and Iodine/Iodide Testing Review by Cameron
Product Rating:
I am giving it 5 stars since it is a good test kit.
I purchased this mainly because I have been impressed with the Seachem brand so far and I thought this was a necessary test. After I have learned more (I am new to the hobby) I think I may have jumped the gun a little and purchased this when I didn't need to.
I wish the box was more aquarium friendly like Red Sea and had a hard carrying case. I also wish it would fit back in the box more easily after opening it.
Running the Phosphate, Silicate, and Iodine/Iodide tests is easy. The only odd thing is you have to have DI (not RO) water to create the Iodine/Iodide testing reagent each time you test. This reagent has a shelf life of 4 hours. I have not scientifically tested these tests against controls, and I cannot speak to the accuracy. However, from the stats that the saltwater is suppose to be at after mixing, I believe these tests are accurate.
I will not replace the tests with other brands until I have used them all. I am not sure if I will buy them again or even replacement Phosphate, Silicate, and Iodine/Iodide tests at all.
TLDR; uneccesary for me right now, but good tests. (Posted on 7/21/2016)
