3 Simple Spring Nail Art Ideas
We visited brilliant nail artist Fleury Rose at Tomahawk Salon in Brooklyn, where she helped us translate the hottest Spring 2012 trends into designs that are super easy to DIY! Read on for a step-by-step guide on how to get a right-off-the-runway manicure.

Next, take a green nail art pen and draw the "leaves" that will connect the yellow dots. To make the leaf shape, Fleury suggests drawing a small polka dot and "flicking" it out with the pen tip into more of a line.

Had these awful things put in a month ago & boy was I sorry I even started with these! I had to get them taken out the next morning because they were killing my scalp & not to mention the lady who put them in did a terrible job! She didn't even do the back bottom half because it was a little short & it looked like a hair curtain hanging over my head! I was so disappointed too cause I couldn't even wear it up if I wanted to & that's what that's things are supposed to do too, look like your own hair! This woman/hairdresser did a terrible job in the first place & ruined my hair even further when she gave me a free color for having spent all that money that I sinfully wasted in the first place! She turned my own hair orangey when my hair was hair was highlightened blond & brown in the first place! Do yourselves a favor, if you are considering having these things done, check check check the hairdresser's work & credentials & ask to see photos of it! I'm sorry I didn't do that! Also grow out your own hair & don't waste your money, I'm sick over $1,000 I threw away!!!

Had Great lengths. Still cringe when I look at the pictures. Went to see Del at Hair Biz Extensions Victoria and never looked back. Way more natural, awesome placement, and they LAST forever. I've now had them for 4 years. Luv!!
I am finding a similar problem with GL extensions as some have already noted. I have been experiencing pieces falling out and assumed that they were slipping. Well to my horror I looked at the last piece that came out to find that the piece did actually rip out my hair at the root. I have no health issues(which they asked me about) and I feel that the weight of the extension is to blame for my hair being literally ripped from the root . I will be going in tomorrow to have them taken out and to asssess the damage and hair loss:(

Here is my Great Lengths Nightmare - I had surgery back in April 2012 and my hair was thick and curly but starting thinning due to telogen effluvium (shock from the surgery) I was meeting my bf for the first time in Sept - I needed luxurious hair! I went to a stylist who is highly recommended as the best extensions expert in Victoria (where I'm from). She is wonderful and I think the world of her. We did two bags of Great Lengths bonded keratin extensions. I repeatedly asked whether this would damage my thinning weak hair - I was told no. In they went and for about three weeks they looked great (they did tangle and were hard to sleep in) but into the third week they started coming out in my hairbrush and in the shower - taking chunks of my own healthy hair. I was meeting my new guy in two more weeks for our first face to face - I panicked and got another bag of hair put in. I was okay while I was with my guy - when I got home they started falling out again! I was losing 5-8 a day and with my own hair attached! I immediately had the hairdresser take them all out. These extensions were only in for about 2 months and my hair is permanently ruined - it will probably never grow past my shoulders again (it used to be mid-breast length). I am so upset that I've lost my beautiful main. Just recently I started wearing clip-ins - they are wonderful as they clip in and you can take them out and are no more harmful than wearing barrettes in your hair. My only beef is that I can't do certain stuff with them and wanted something more permanent. I am seriously thinking of the "tape-ins" and wonder if anyone has had experience with tape-ins? (btw - I kept a lot if my bonded Great Lengths with my own hair attached as a reminder - Never Again - I often show it to people to dissuade the from making the same mistake I made).

reveiws are useful bit I wouldnt let it put you off or be help you decide to have them done. Everyone's lifestyle and own hair is different so there are going to be good and bad reveiws. Just make sure you research the salonist that is applying them rather than the extensions themself. it will make a whole lot of difference to the way they look, feel and last.
My hair is shoulder length and fine and quite wavy and after researching suitable hair extensions i decided to have GL's Remi extensions put in by a reputable london salon.
Pros of GL's with bonds :
They look and feel very natural.
The bonds are not visible even though we can feel them a little. If maintained properly they last up to 6 months dependant on how fast your own hair grows.
They dont take as long to dry as i thought. Combing through can take more effort but all i do is finger dry mine with warm (not hot) air and finish off my fringe with straightners. I keep mine in a loose side pony tail and in the morning i am ready to go , just finger through and i am ready to go
Cons: Can be expensive and my extensions which i hope will last at least 4 months replace a holiday that only lasts 2 weeks, so a 2 week holiday or 4 months lush hair? hmm its a no brainer.
Ok yes you will get the odd one that will fall out but if the salonist is a good one he/she will split them to make them lighter, thus the strands are thinner and not noticeable at all if they do fall out. I actually dont mind a few falling out, i have so much hair i dont know what to do with it
You have to think of the implications of the effect ANY extensions have on your hair but its the price we pay for vanity and overall its been worth it for me so far.
But realistically remove them after 4 months, wear a human hair pony tail clip in for a few months and then have them redone?
I have had mine in for 2 weeks now and have only lost 1 strand, but that any lost can be due to poor brushing?, I think i accidentally stuck too much conditioner too near the bond instead of just the ends. My salonist did say it was normal to loose 1 or 2 but to bring them in when I have my free maintenance appointment.
useful tips:
Make sure you stock up with anti tap water, buy online too , its much cheaper than the salon.
hold the hair in a side pony tail and brush with the correct brush starting at the bottom and working up the length
I will update again in a months time - good luck everyone

Let me start off by saying... Every single stylist will say they use the best quality of hair and give you several reasons why that all sound realistic. I am upset because I have fell for this about 7 times in several cities. Please do your research! I have had extensions for several years, but never was completely satisfied . I had heard about Great Lengths from a coworker, but was very hesitant because to purchase because of the price. I realized I was spending several hundreds of dollars on extensions I did not love and I would often not even wear them down. I have had ultratress tape,satin strands,micro-links, sew in, clip in and several more.
Being a professional I don't have much time to fix my hair so I wanted a low maintenance extension that will look nice without styling.
Great Lengths by far are the best hair extensions I have ever had. There is no way I will ever use any other brand. It feels silky, last long, is durable and looks far better than you could expect. I can wash my hair and without styling and have amazing beach waves. Instead of wasting money over and over on just average extensions trying to change them up I have actually saved money using Great Lengths. This is the first time I can honestly say I am happy with my hair and thankful the search for great extensions is over.
I had these extensions fitted by a reputable salon earlier this year. Yes they looked ok but they did need a lot of attention to stop them from looking like hanging strings. I enjoyed having them but after a few weeks, I was horrified to see thinning patches in places. I checked with the salon that said this was ok and my hair was coping fine, stupidly, I allowed myself to be talked into keeping them in. I also noticed short pieces of hair the length of from my scalp to the bond breaking off and falling to the floor when I brushed my hair, when I asked whether these pieces were breakage, I didn't get a straight answer and I don't feel the salon addressed my concerns properly and that these were in fact, signs of damage. I had them removed at just over three months and I was devastated to see the state of my own hair. It was much thinner, despite the salon telling me this was because I was used to the thickness of the extensions, I know my own hair and I know this wasn't the case. I am now desperately trying to repair the damage, I have thin hair now which has lost all its body and thinning areas. It is going to take a long time to help my hair recover. I cared for the extensions by the book and I feel that this method was too hard on my hair and I shouldn't have had them done and I also should have had them removed much earlier. To anyone having these done I would say to proceed with caution, monitor your hair carefully and if you don't have every confidence in your salon, their ability not only to fit these extensions safely and to answer your questions satisfactorily, don't go ahead or go elsewhere. Or grow your own hair, natural long hair looks far better than some ratty looking extensions ever will.
ETA- to call others that have had real problems with these extensions misinformed, to say that they do not understand the process of how hair grows and sheds, do not check their facts and that their experience of this product pulling out their own hair is ''ridiculous'', is really not helpful. I took great care of these extensions and really wanted them to work but instead, they were far more trouble for me than they were worth and months later I am still trying to repair the damage and waiting for my thinning areas to regrow. Let's hear the good and bad but respect each other's opinions and reviews without implying people are careless, don't know how to take care of the extensions or understand how hair grows.

I have never tried Great Lengths Hair extensions, but I DO wear taped in hair wefts. I would never do a fusion or even micro bead install because they are not great for fine hair. As they grow out, they pull on the root of the hair and if you don't comb really carefully, they will pull your hair out. This would be better for coarser hair types.
If you want to try hair extensions, try taped in extensions, or even glue-ins. Tape is pretty gentle on the hair and if you remove it properly and wait for the remover to work, it does not damage your hair. Also, the wefts allow for more hair to be installed in the hair, so it looks more natural than fusion installs. I have been wearing tape (Supertape) extensions for about 4 years now and I do it myself. My hair has grown back in very healthy from a colouring mishap several years ago. I take them out every month, colour my roots (sometimes highlights as well) and then reinstall after about a week of rest and hair treatments on my natural hair.
This works for me. Thought I would share. If you want more info on this method, try the hairextensions101.com site/forum. Lots of great info there.
My hair has been thinning for the last few years. I panicked and went into a hair system instead of trying extensions first, and have been letting my hair grow back. It was finally long enough for extensions, and I decided to take the plunge and try Great Lengths, since they are the "cadillac of hair extensions". I got them in yesterday by an "expert". They look like straggly strings already and are getting tangled. I can't wait to get them out, and I've had them in for 25 hours!

I had Great Lengths extensions put in and they were horribly attached! In the first day I lost 3 extensions. My natural hair is extremely fine but THICK!! The extensions attached to add length are very thin. You can see all of my natural hair. It looks like I'm wearing a toupee on the top of my head. It's only been 4 days since I got them and I haven't worn my hair down yet because of the thinness. Very disappointed with them!

Christian rock is booming right now, in both the commercial and the creative senses of the word (or perhaps the Word). As former Spin scribe Andrew Beaujon writes in his revealing new book, Body Piercing Saved My Life, the community (if a multibillion-dollar industry can be considered a community) is bigger and more self-reliant than ever, but it's simultaneously making its most meaningful strides yet toward a mainstream crossover: The secular attention earned lately by Christian acts such as Sufjan Stevens and Switchfoot is good news indeed for youth-group members harboring dreams of someday rocking nightclubs, not churches.
This weekend's three-day One Voice festival brings to Six Flags some of the scene's highest-profile artists: former DC Talk member TobyMac, grimacing alt-rockers Third Day, longtime Christian-music heavyweight Steven Curtis Chapman. Much of this music is better than past trespasses would lead you to believe. The genuinely funky pop-rap on TobyMac's 2004 hit Welcome to Diverse City, for example, wouldn't embarrass Snoop Dogg (or Bootsy Collins, who actually makes a guest appearance). And anyone who's trekked to Red Rocks to swoon to Dave Matthews' roots-pop could probably stand the trip to Arlington to hear Waco-based worship star David Crowder. (Other attractions include scrubbed-clean sludge-metallers Pillar and handsome-guy balladeer Jeremy Camp.)
Despite the secular venue (and musical quality), One Voice isn't really about crossover. It's about consolidation of a core; hit Six Flags and you'll hear music about the wisdom of making the choice you've already made. Head to the Cavern on Friday night after Third Day's set, on the other hand, and you might hear something else from two Philly-based indie acts--drifty post-rock guys Saxon Shore and emo-folk troubadour Denison Witmer--for whom Christianity seems like a beginning, not an end. Of course, ambivalence often works better on the page than the stage, which presents Christian rock's real quandary: To take over America the way Christianity itself has, it needs someone capable of expressing uncertainty with some certainty.

G.O.O.D Music affiliate producer S1 recently discussed his work relationship with G-Unit's 50 Cent and how one of their collaborations has stood the test of time to become his latest single.
According to S1, his "My Life" 50 and Eminem collaboration came together roughly two years ago.
"Big ups to my mans Dre Mckenzie and Tony G (A&R for G-Unit Records) for making the connect for me. I met Dre back in 2008 at the iStandard/One Stop Shop and kept a solid relationship with him. I would send him beats every month consistently for a couple years until I heard Fif wanted to buy these 2 beats from me. Remind you that this was back in Fall of 2010. I went to NY and made a visit to Dre at the G-Unit office. Fif was in a meeting in the backroom so Dre took me back to meet him. When Fif saw me, he immediately gets up and leaves the meeting and tells me "I had an APB out on you. You got some HEAT!!!" So we went into his office and he told me the concept of the "My Life" record and spit his verses for me. He was like "This is gonna be HUGE"." (iStandard Producers)
While nothing immediately took off, S1 said Fif kept his name alive and eventually came through on his promise.
"So for the next year or so 50 Cent would mention me in all his interviews about me producing on his album. Through the grapevine I was hearing Eminem hopped on the record then from an Executive at Interscope Records I was told Adam Levine was gonna be on the record. Fast forward through 3 mixtapes and 1 album later, the song stood the test of time and its about to come out now as a single. Nobody but God because its very rare that an artist holds on to a beat for 2 ½ years with the face of music changing so fast these days. Oh I forgot to mention Just Blaze called me out the blue about a year ago. He was in the studio with Fif and they was trying to see which one of my beats to put Eminem on. Fif was saying the beat that is now "My Life" but Just Blaze was trying to talk him into using the other beat that Fif wanted from me. Crazy huh!" (iStandard Producers)
If all goes accordingly, fans will get to hear the duo's new joint effort next week.
50 Cent is enlisting some major star power for his new single. The hip-hop mogul has called on his mentor Eminem and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine for "My Life." The song is slated to hit iTunes on November 27 and a video has already been shot in Detroit with director Rich Lee (Eminem, Nicki Minaj). Originally due this month, 50's fifth album Street King Immortal has been delayed until early 2013. The follow-up to 2009's Before I Self Destruct has spawned the singles "New Day" with Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys and "First Date" featuring Too $hort. (Rap-Up)
50 and Em linked up a few weeks ago to shoot their "My Life" music video in Detroit.
While we patiently wait to hear 50 Cent's new collaboration with Eminem and Adam Levine titled "My Life," new photos from the video which was shot in Detroit have surfaced. No official word yet on when we can expect to hear 50's new single "My Life" or when the video will arrive. But it's exciting to know these two definitely got something coming. Let's hope it lives up to the hype. (Rap Dose)

WHO: Ebola outbreak poses risk to other countries
Friday, August 08, 2014
ANKARA - The World Health Organization said Friday that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa constitutes an "extraordinary event" that poses a health risk to other countries.
"The possible consequences of further international spread are particularly serious in view of the virulence of the virus, the intensive community and health facility transmission patterns, and the weak health systems in the currently affected and most at-risk countries," the World Health Organization's emergency committee on Ebola said after its first meeting Friday.
More than 1,700 people have been infected with the disease in four West African countries -- Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria -- and an estimated 932 people have died since the latest outbreak in June, beginning from Liberia, according to WHO.
In addition, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) declared Thursday that it suspended meetings as part of measures to halt the spread of the virus.
Ebola is a contagious disease for which there is no known treatment or cure and the disease has now spread to Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria.
The WHO has warned the world's heads of state and health ministries that they "should declare a national emergency; personally address the nation to provide information on the situation, and advise on what steps are being taken to address the outbreak and the critical role of the community in ensuring its rapid control. Also provide immediate access to emergency financing to initiate and sustain response operations; and ensure all necessary measures are taken to mobilize and remunerate the necessary health care workforce."
The organization also drew attention to the suspension of international travel to prevent the spread of the virus.
Medical doctors say common symptoms of the tropical fever, which first appeared in 1976 in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, include high fever and headaches, followed by bleeding from openings in the body.

Stray Animals
Stray Animals in Maricopa County
By law all tame strays must be turned in to Maricopa County Animal Care and Control. Please do not contact All About Animals for stray dogs or cats.
If you see a dog out on the road, please call Maricopa County Animal Care and Control at 602-506-PETS. A dog-at-large will be picked up by one of the Animal Care Officers and taken to a County facility. If you have an after-hours emergency, call your local police department.
All stray dogs need to be brought to MCACC so they can seek to return the animal to its home. You can call MCACC at 602-506-PETS and an Animal Control Officer will pick up the dog. You can also visit www.pets911.com. This web site acts as a local lost and found in the Valley. You can search to see if anyone has posted a notice about a lost pet. You can also post a notice saying that you have found a pet.
MCACC does not pick up stray cats unless they have bitten someone. If you have been bitten by a cat, you must report it by calling 602-506-PETS. MCACC will ask you a few questions to find out more about the cat. You can bring a stray, tame cat yourself to the East or West Valley Animal Care Centers.
Once a stray dog or cat enters MCACC, he/she is held for a minimum of 72 hours in the hope of finding the owner. If the dog is wearing a current Maricopa County license (or the cat has an id tag or microchip) MCACC will attempt to contact the owner and hold the animal for up to five days (three days for an expired County license).Once the holding period is up, the animal's health and temperament are evaluated to determine eligibility for adoption. Once an animal is deemed adoptable, there is no set time period that he/she is held for adoption. The time frame is based solely upon the availability of space at MCACC and the continued health and temperament of the animal.
For more detailed information please go to:
Maricopa Animal Care and Control

Fun Food Ideas with Crescent Rolls.
- Beach Chick Feb 27, 2014 11:17 AM
I usually top the Costco Lobster Bisque with the Crescent rolls, which make for a great en croute but looking for some new ideas.
Miniature breakfast quiche cups
Small handpies, like empanadas
Cheese and spinach triangle appetizers
A TON of recipes and ideas at the Pillsbury site
re: MidwesternerTT
If your local store hasn't started stocking it yet, request from your manager Pillsbury's new can of Crescent Roll dough not made up into rolls---comes in a plain rectangle, versatile for many uses.
Also, if you make sweet rolls out of Crescent Roll dough, invest in a bottle of Maple Extract. A few drops added to a little powdered sugar icing make a very professional glaze, all caramel-y looking and nice topped with chopped nuts.
re: Querencia
and use coffee for the liquid in the icing.
A little OT, but on those TUBE pastries anyway. When teaching at an alternative school, a co-worker treated kids to "donuts". She brought in an electric frying pan, oil and lots of tubes of biscuits. The biscuits only hadda swim in hot oil until nice and brown, then kids shook in rown bag of cinnamon/sugar or dusted with powdered sugar. Actually pretty tasty, especially when nice and warm.
My Dad always like pot pies... especially from roast pork, nice rich gravy and left-over veggies. All that mixed together, topped with biscuits and baked off till nice and brown.
Worked with 2 special needs students about a year ago who were in a "food & nutrition" class. Kids were given tube of biscuit dough and all sorts of potential stuffings... meats, cheeses, fruit fillings. They experiments with "sandwich maker" appliances... and had a BALL!!
re: kseiverd
On your OT, I have made (for both my kids and grand kids) "donuts" for years out of tube biscuits. I usually wash out a little medicine cap to cut the "hole" in the middle (then we get the donut holes too). Cinnamon and sugar or drizzle with maple glaze or a normal glaze with sprinkles, etc. They think I am fabulous! Works every time!
You can also make little turnovers using 2 per. Fill with apple or fruit of your choice, then top with another triangle and seal the edges. Tastes great and very flaky.
re: boyzoma
Will you please elaborate on the donuts? Do you deep fry or bake?
re: schrutefarms
I fill a skillet with about 1/2" veg. oil and fry. Once one half is nice and brown, flip over and brown the other side. They puff up so nicely. Hope that helps. Just don't have the oil too hot. About med. to med. high works well. Adjust the temp as necessary.
Do the mini apps at the Pillsbury site under crescent recipes. 8 different kinds, makes a dazzling and not at all difficult show.
I still love this recipe that I learned to make as a kid:
It was one of the winners of the Pillsbury bake-off (in 1974). I make it once a year after Thanksgiving with leftover Turkey
re: stockholm28
My Mom started making these in the 1970s and we all make them still from time to time, just for nostalgia's sake. Mom just called them "Chicken Things" and so do we!
re: rasputina
My spouse's favorite appetizer. No matter how 'fancy' the occasion, he gets pigs. Which everyone else also promptly scarf down. :)
re: rasputina
Our favorite. But we use Nathan's cocktail franks. Never any left.
re: rasputina
A friend showed us a trick: tuck some shredded cheddar cheese into the "blanket" before rolling it up... yum.
re: truman
For me, a brush of mustard inside was the trick.
re: rasputina
Found little salmon sausages at Whole Foods and did this at a holiday party end of last year. They were delicious.
This is one that my sister taught me... Get one of those big Brie wheels (Costco has them), line a round baking dish with part of the crescent dough. Slice the top rind off the Brie. Saute a good handful of pecans in a quarter cup each of butter and brown sugar till the sugar dissolves and the nuts are a little toasty.
Cover the Brie with the nut mixture, then add the rest of the crescent dough to the top and pinch down.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or so till golden. Serve while warm.
re: kitchengardengal
That's one of my favorites. Almond cream rolls are another. I've been making them for 20+ years and I make them quite often. :)
re: kattyeyes
re: kitchengardengal
I do, too, so I'll share the way I do it (just four rolls instead of 8).
4 oz. cream cheese (I use reduced fat Neufchatel–nothing is lost in translation)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
sliced almonds for the tops
1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
cinnamon to sprinkle over the inner cream layer
Egg wash
1 egg white + 1 teaspoon water
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 to 2 teaspoons milk
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, beat cream cheese, almond extract and powdered sugar.
Separate crescents into four rectangles. Use your fingers to seal the dotted line that runs diagonally across each rectangle. Spread each rectangle with a quarter of the cream cheese filling to within a quarter inch of the edges. Sprinkle cinnamon over cream cheese. Starting at the longer side, roll up each rectangle into a long roll of dough. Gently stretch each long roll to approximately 10 inches long. Then coil each roll into a spiral with the seam on the inside. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
In small bowl, whisk together egg white and water, brush over roll. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 17 to 23 minutes.
Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Enjoy your breakfast!
Pics here:
re: kitchengardengal
On the same page, I used to do individual brie and cranberry sauce appetizers wrapped in crescents. It was an Ocean Spray recipe. Really have to get it back into the holiday rotation!
re: kitchengardengal
That sounds good kitchengardengal - but I'm not into sweet (although I love pecans!). I was thinking more along the line of some sauteed mushrooms in butter and a little wine? What do you think?
I like them rolled up with ham and/or turkey and Swiss cheese and a smear of Dijon mustard & then baked.
When I am not feeling well, I'll open the can of crescent rolls, and slice into rounds without unrolling. Bake them as the label directs. Mix some herbs (fresh or dried, depending on what I have) into some softened butter, and spread the butter over the rolls when they come out of the oven and are still warm.
My husband and nephews will destroy these.
I've have slicied them unrolled, as jw615 mentioned above, and then smashing them into regular-size or mini muffin cups, sticking them with a fork many times and filling with...whatever. ground beef, onion/garlic and cheese, tiny-cut leftover chicken with onion/celery/a little mayo, like chicken salad - even tried canned tuna/onion/a little mayo once and it worked. Bake for time mentioned on the tube and you have a fast app or fast dinner.
I like to mix various things in cream cheese and then either use the Crescent Sheets, or just press the Rolls together into one and make pinwheels out of it. Or Turnovers... either really.
Pimento Cheese Spread with pecans works
Blue Cheese Crumbles with walnuts or pecans mixed into cream cheese
Peppadew Peppers diced, mixed into cream cheese
Crumbled White Stilton with Apricots, or Cranberries etc
Goat Cheese crumbles with various fruits and nuts
re: Ariadanz
My Mom does this as well when we come to visit her. She typically does cream cheese mixed with chopped onion, garlic, and crumbled bacon.
I had a friend make mini s'mores with them. Put two small squares of Hershey's chocolate bar and a marshmallow in them before rolling up. I don't remember how long it took to cook but they were a quick chocolate fix!
I haven't made this yet (not my blog), but some variation of this idea is on my to try list for sure.
I do the baked brie in winter. Been making it a lot this winter and still perfecting my technique. Made some for lunch and this time I left an opening on top of the dough and the walnuts toasted nicely. This time I used cherry preserves from TJs and craisins as well as the walnuts.
Once I used brie with mushrooms from wegmans and sauteed mushrooms with a little bit of onion and garlic. Ridiculously good.
re: givemecarbs
Your post is making me hungry and I really don't need anyone to giveme(more)carbs right about now! ;)
re: MamasCooking
When you thaw them, is the texture affected? In other words, would you be able to separate them on the "perforations" into triangles?
re: pinehurst
They were soft and pliable. I put some chips in the center and rolled them up. Are we referring to the same product I wonder? You pry them apart and roll them up? When they are defrosted and soft you can stretch the dough, shape it crimp it etc.I think I used them for home made raspberry pop tarts too.
At summer bonfires we wrap the dough on sticks and cook them over the fire. When puffed and golden they are rolled on a stick butter and then in a dish of cinnamon sugar.
Just last night my son made his own version of empanadas. He made ground beef with taco seasonings, rolled out the dough and cut it into circles. He then added beef to the center along with shredded cheese and sealed the rounds. Baked until lightly brown and served them with sour cream, salsa and sliced avocados
Never been a huge crescent fan personally as I find them a bit sweet. But my husband loves them when I make pockets (two crescents fork sealed) with shredded chicken, chopped spinach, shredded swiss and bacon.
Made 2 big roll ups from the Crescent can with sauté portobello mushrooms, garlic, Serrano chiles and goat cheese and rolled up and baked till golden brown...pinched the ends, so nothing oozed out.
OMG..this was SO good!
Apple dumplings. Pare and core 2 medium apples and cut into quarters. Wrap each apple piece in a Crescent Roll and lay in a not-too-shallow pan or baking dish. Zap in microwave just to melt 1 cup brown sugar, 1 stick butter, and 1 tsp cinnamon and pour this over the dumplings. Then pour in Mountain Dew to cover them. Bake about an hour until tops are crispy. Most of the Mountain Dew disappears into the Crescent Rolls and the rest of it makes a sauce.
re: Querencia
This is amazingly good. I save out the cinnamon and sprinkle it over the top -- pretty that way.

Adjuvant Oxytocin for Preinduction Ripening With a Foley catheter--a Clinical Trial
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The transcervical Foley catheter (TFC) is a proven and effective mode of cervical ripening. It is common practice to use TFC with simultaneous low-dose oxytocin under the assumption that the combination results in a more successful labor induction. Scientific validation of this practice is lacking. We seek to determine if the addition of oxytocin to TFC improves induction success.
Induced Labor
Cervical Ripening
Drug: low dose oxytocin
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Prospective, Randomized Trial of Transcervical Foley Catheter With or Without Oxytocin for Preinduction Cervical Ripening
- Delivery rate (proportion) [ Time Frame: Within 24 hours ]
- vaginal delivery rate [ Time Frame: within 24 hours ]
- use of anesthesia/analgesia [ Time Frame: during induction and labor ]
- overall complication rate (composite)
- duration of induction and labor
|Study Start Date:
|November 2003
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2005
This is a prospective, randomized trial that aims to enroll 200 singleton pregnancies presenting for preinduction ripening. Patients will be randomized to receive either TFC alone (control) or TFC plus low-dose oxytocin (treatment). Providers will not blinded to use of oxytocin and labor was managed according to routine obstetric protocols. This study is powered to detect a 20% difference in the proportion of patients delivered within 24 hours, the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes are related to vaginal delivery rate, duration of induction, complications, and pain management.

Jimmy Dykes From ESPN "UNC Has Just As Good Of A Chance As Kentucky To Cut Down Nets"
Mac Attack 03/06/12: ESPN hoops analyst Jimmy Dykes joined the guys to talk ACC hoops and everything else going on in college basketball as the madness fast approaches
Dykes thinks at some point during March Madness, Carolina and Kentucky will repeat their early December showdown and sparks will fly. He thinks the game will not only be explosive, but will definitely be a deciding factor in who makes it to the National Championship, if not is the national championship game itself.
"Carolina is right there with Kentucky and Syracuse if I had to throw out three teams that are going to cut down the nets in New Orleans…Carolina is one of those teams that has been punched in the nose a couple of times and [keeps coming] back better…they got up better than they were when they went down…I look for teams that are hot, healthy and hungry. Carolina fits all those things right now, but so does Kentucky…Right now those two teams are destined to meet again at some point in the tournament and there will be a lot at stake when they do."
While Dykes doesn't discount Duke from the list of his top in the country, he thinks the cards need to be stacked in their favor with the brackets in order for the Blue Devils to make a big splash in the tournament.
"I didn't learn anything from that [Duke/Carolina] ball game that we didn't already know about Duke…they played to their strengths and if you take those strengths away (three point shooting), they are going to struggle…Duke is never going to be a terrific defensive team…all they have to do is get in the right bracket and [have two good games] and then they are in the Sweet 16…so much of this tournament is dependent on guard play and coaching-and Duke is really good in those two areas! …if they can get in the right bracket and make the right shots…[they can definitely make a run]."
He said west coast teams were rarely featured with the basketball legend schools like Duke, Kentucky and Carolina because of the lack of basketball presence in the west. Dykes feels the typically strong high school players look to other regions of the US to play, and often leave college early to go pro, making it difficult for West Coast teams to grow.
"Some of the elite players out of high school on the west coast have chosen not to stay on that coast…or chosen to leave [college] early…When you think of West Coast basketball…it's not like [there are many strong programs out there]…I don't think basketball is as important out there as it is in other parts of the country."

food & tourists... semi rant... in defense of tourists
- m
- megan Apr 27, 2005 12:51 PM
There is a post on the SF Bay area board about tourists over-running the ferry building in SF
Which got me thinking... While I wish we all could live a genteel life, in our own ivory tower wandering in peace through our local farmer's market, consuming only lovingly prepared local produce and delicious foods that make our foodie hearts melt... (can you hear the birds chirping... as a cool breeze drifts in from the bay???)
but in reality... in order to sustain those markets and ferry's buildings that we love so much, it takes money. plain and simple. money from those who love and appreciate the fruits of organic farming and from those who are just their to have a san francisco experience, get their pictures taken in front of a giant cheese wheel and pick up some tapenade as a souvenir.
We need people from around the world to believe that california is a destination for good food and wine. really not just a source of these things, but a lifestyle to be desired and emulated. Market branding has become a staple of the food tourism of California. it's not just good cheese, it is from the cowgirl creamery. Red wine with dinner? but of course only it is is from the napa valley.
why would you pay $12-15 for a burger and fries? oh well, because it isn't "just" a burger and fries. it is from Taylor's Refresher with zinfandel carmelized onions.
I love that we all live in an area that has so many great restaurants, markets and foods to sample and enjoy. I guess what is boils down to is that I have been a tourist myself and been annoyed by tourists on many occassions. As has everyone... but really if you live in SF, and drive up to the napa valley for the day (and even if you love and appreciate every bite of your french laundry dinner) you are still a tourist! Whether a stylish foodie or a sneaker shod mid-westerner with elastic waistband pants and a camera slung around your neck. we shouldn't bite the hand that helps keeps places we love open.
Believe it or not, there are "stylish foodies" in the Midwest too. But how interesting to hear that there are no sneaker-shod, elastic waistband pants-wearers on your coast. I could have sworn on my trips out there that I saw ... but I guess those people must have been "midwesterners", huh?
re: Kimm
Hmmm...I am on the coast and currently wearing sneakers and elastic waisted pants...Good God, was I born in Wisconsin? Why didn't someone tell me? *lol*
I get what you are saying and I agree...even though it aggravates me to do so...I loathe slow moving looky-loos blocking the aisle when I just need to get my shopping done. Of course I will attempt to look at them with a new perspective. Perhaps it will make me more tolerant. And less cranky.
re: Cyndy
Jeez. I was gonna keep my mouth off of this one, but yunz are making it too easy.
Any time I'm in Cleveland or Pittsburgh, I make it a point to get by the Westside Market or the Strip. I amble and gawk and wish there was something so great in the Bay. I occasionally get nudged aside by some sharp-elbowed shopper cause I'm blocking Steve's Sausages, or whatever. I eat as much as I can, have coffees and pastry, take some noshes home. I rarely drop less than $50, and my brothers and sisters and in-laws always stock up, too. I wear sneakers.
What's my point? No point, I guess, except like others have said, we're all tourists somewhere, be it Maui or Singapore or Nice or Cleveland. We ain't doing any harm, and we're generally pretty happy to be where we are, and we hope the natives don't hate us. Maybe, next time I'm at the Ferry Market, I'll buy some schmo a cup of overpriced coffee.
Sorry, you blew it with the Midwesterner stereotype... I'm married to a guy from Wisconsin who wouldn't be caught dead in anything less than Zegna jeans, Armani or Prada shirt - no cameras slung around necks & Cole Haans on the feet. Actually, most people I've seen in the MW dress the same or better than us in coastal California. You're complaining about being stereotyped as a tourist, then you do the same to others.
re: torta basilica
I'm sure your midwestern relatives would surely put my personal fashion sense to shame... and honestly, I meant it a little tongue in cheek... not all tourists fit that particular bill... (although I really did have a mental picture of my beloved aunt and uncle from indiana in mind when i wrote it).
re: torta basilica
Yeah, let's hear it for gay marriage.
There's an article in todays NY Times on the very same subject.
I'm from NYC, and have joined in the ranting at Christmas time at the tourists (even from the suburbs) who make midtown impassable. My own personal inconvenience aside, though, your point is well taken and applies here. A SUBSTANTIAL portion of our local economy is tourism-based, and I know I wouldn't have so much at my disposal if they weren't subsidizing.
re: dude
The main gist of the NY Times article is that tourists go to the farmers market in San Fran not to spend money, but to "tour" it because it was written up in Fodors. The complaint is that the tourists inevitably cause a crowd, take pictures, eat the free samples and then don't buy anything. That is the problem, not complaining that someone from Sheboygan looks funny but indeeds spends money at the greenmarket.
re: Evan
The market needs locals who actually buy groceries to stay in business. If the crowds of tourists drive the locals away, then the market will die.
It's not the tourists' fault they don't buy groceries, since they're staying in hotels and undoubtedly eating out at our fine restaurants (who also need their business). In that sense, it's nobody's fault -- it's just a potential problem that needs to be dealt with.
re: Evan
Hey....I was in the San Fran area for 3 weeks this Winter (from the east coast) and after visiting the Ferry Bldg. Farmers Market on Saturday morning - Heaven! - I decided to mail ALL of my clothes and camping gear home the Friday before I left so that my 2 checked bags could be filled with my purchases from the Market & China town! My bags included organic broccoli, baby bok choy, asian pears and LOADS of CHEESE - mostly Andante Dairy. We had a mid-Winter feast back home in February!! Oh, and LOTS of wine, too!!!!
re: megan
I just think the stereotype of the Midwest is funny. People seem to forget that the third-largest metro area in the country is in this region. We don't have great produce in Chicago, so, yes, I do drool at the Ferry Market, and probably annoy the people behind me in line at Acme. But our agricultural deficiencies don't necessarily translate into cultural ones.
re: Grace
and really, it was just meant as poking fun at the stereotype of a tourist.. not a jab at the midwest.
you reminded me of when my grandparents from minnesota came to visit when I was a kid.. they were shocked to find that vegetables didn't come wrapped in saran wrap with styrofoam backing here... and they also had never seen or tasted an avocado... other than as reconstituted guacamole. (and they lived in St. Paul at the time!)
the bulk of americans do not live on the west or east coast... and they are all lovely, intelligent, food loving people.
re: megan
I can sure believe about the avocado, but I would bet Grandma and Grandpa did not think all vegetables were wrapped in Saran Wrap. When younger, they were a lot closer to the source than we have ever been. What they did not grow on their own was supplied by farmers driving their trucks slowly through the neighborhoods, calling out their products. When the lady waved, the farmer stopped.
re: Spudlover
I was watching some show about new British cooking yesterday, and about how its image is changing. The host asked the chef how so, and the chef replied something like "we've started to use fresh veggies instead of just canned." I thought that was so funny and shocking, this conversation reminds me of it. However, the chef insisted you had to used canned fruit in syrup for a trifle.
Wow, this is tying into the thread above about low-dessert culture as well!
re: Darlene
and that was my point... we need tourism. not people complaining about crowds.
re: Darlene
Don't sweat it. Heck, I'd rather hang with you with the camera and elastic band pants that with most of the overly pretentious people who live here. A lot of us honestly love the tourists that come here. What fun would it be without someone new always coming into town to see it? SF is a blast, it should be enjoyed so much that you just HAVE to come back.
Well, I wouldn't have said anything until so many started dissing Wisconsin. Just for the record, we are the coolest people on earth, and we live in the coolest place. If you don't believe me, just ask any driver in those long lines of big SUV's that clog our highways from Chicago every Friday night, pulling campers and boat trailers and escaping to paradise.
We love them, because they all bring us money. And their unique and impressive driving skills have earned them a special name here. Some call them FIB's, which stands for Friendly Illinois Brethren, or something like that.
You all can come too, if you bring money. And you will want to live here. Probably have buy some new clothes, though, 'cause from what I have seen on the coasts, we are better dressed. Hey, great idea! Bring the money and buy the clothes here.
re: Spudlover
And just for the record, Wisconsin is a BLUE state.
re: Spudlover
I thought fib stood for f***ing illinois bastards. But yours is much more friendly.
Greetings from a chicagoan who loves WI.
re: Spudlover
Well, maybe I'll stop by when bug season is over and the curds are in bloom. But you can't make me wear one of those Cheese Hats, no matter what!
re: Striver
You have touched on a topic of intense debate and personal feelings in the Dairy State. After many years of testing, researchers have found that upon imbibing enough of some of Wisconsin's other fine products, the hats start to look pretty good. The impulse comes from the same part of the brain that makes you take off your shirt at 20 below, and show off your green and gold painted chest.
The hats do have drawbacks, though. They are hot, and they leave you with the dreaded "cheese hat hair." They won't stay on during the Chicken Dance, and they make it very hard to pick up chicks (unless the chick is wearing one too).
But we would be glad to have you join us. Sit down at our table, pour a few glasses out of our pitcher, and remember, Never Say Never!
re: Spudlover
...which is proof why Wisconsin and all of the Midwest is the greatest area on earth! You hear this guy? Happy and friendly. He WANTS us to come by and say hi, wear the cool cheese hats and dance around. Here in the bay area, we love our snob status, and it's kinda icky. Rock on, Wisconsin!
re: Larry Wayne
Larry, you sound like one of us. After conferring with the Committee, I am pleased to announce you have been awarded the title of Honorary Wisconsinite. Unfortunately, there is currently no prize or stipend associated with the award, but we guarantee you a good time when you come here. Because it's all about attitude, baby, and you got that!
By the way, I do love the Bay area too.
re: Larry Wayne
"Snob status"? I don't know, I think it's kinda more like we live in this giant theme park. And, and, we all want to be recognized as "inside" by the tourists, like those people that play Mickey and Goofy at D***eyland, and have folks take happy pictures with us. Except, most of us are more like the people that sweep up at D***eyland. No picture, no autograph B^(
But seriously, folks, I don't know why tourists come here, but if they didn't, we wouldn't have half the great chowplaces we do now. All Silicon Valley ever spun off chow-wise, was 360 Burrito.
I agree completely. IMHO it is a better tourist destination than Pier 39. I travel to S.F. for fun and for business. I'd rather spend my tourist dollar at Hog Island Oyster Bar than some overpriced chowder joint at Pier 39!
I live in a small urban area in coastal Florida. Lots of tourists down here, and I'm glad they are because we end up with far more good restaurants down here than could be supported by the local population alone.
My rant is pretty much the opposite: you're down here on vacation in an area that bills itself "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village". You could be dining on a beautiful hunk of mahi/ snapper/ pompano/ cobia/ grouper tonight that was swimming in the Gulf this morning. You could get a mahi sandwich that counts as bar food fish of the day here that they'd be fighting over in New York for its quality. And if you don't like seafood, there are a lot of other damn fine dining options.
So why in the world are you sitting at Applebee's, Chili's, O'Charley's, and/or TGI Friday's tonight? Don't you people know any better?
re: BW Jill
Who is this "you"? We're not a bunch of sheep on this site!
re: applehome
Is this a joke? I think he's talking to the tourists, not you/us.
And if anyone is guilty of generalized rants...

3,500 U.S. Troops Set to Leave Iraq in Coming Weeks
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
(AP found on FOX News)
BAGHDAD — About 3,500 American soldiers who were part of last summer's troop "surge" are scheduled to leave Iraq in the coming weeks, the U.S. military said.
The soldiers, part of the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, will redeploy to Fort Benning, Georgia, said a statement released late Monday. The U.S. sent some 30,000 additional troops into Iraq last summer to help stem growing violence.
Those troops, along with the rise of Sunni fighters who allied with the U.S. and began battling al-Qaida and a truce called by a key Shiite militia, were credited with a sharp decrease in violence during the last 10 months.
The soldiers are part of the third of five "surge" brigades scheduled to redeploy. The other two are expected to return to the U.S. by the end of July.
"The continued drawdown of surge brigades demonstrates continued progress in Iraq," Brig. Gen. Dan Allyn said in the statement. "After July, commanders will assess our security posture for about 45 days and determine future force requirements based on these conditions-based assessments."
