My favorite granola bar!
Posted on
My wife and I continually like to try different brands of food, flavors, etc...Granola bars are no exception. Our favorite so far has been the Nature Valley "Sweet & Salty Nut" granola bars w/ Almonds. They are head and shoulders above the competition. And at 160-calories per bar, they aren't overly poor in nutrition.
But what I have failed to realize until the point of typing this review, is that they have other Sweet & Salty combinations. I didn't realize this until I was searching Google for a picture to attach to this review. I came across their "Peanut" and "Cashew" version. I am really looking forward to trying the Cashew style.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a great tasting granola bar. It combines both the salty flavor of the nuts, and the sweet taste of almond butter. It's a perfect balance for the taste buds.
Grade: A+

My current box is nearly empty, so the next one will have to be the Cashew version. Mmmmmmmmm!
Anna Molly on 01/30/2012:
Yum! I've had these before, and they are really delicious.
Churro on 01/30/2012:
I like the original oat and honey which claims to be "100% natural" but can't really get into the 'Sweet & Salty Nut' (which does not claim to be "100% natural) because it contains high fructose and high maltose corn syrup. I make it a point to avoid industrial corn at all costs.

Churro> Good point. I never realized that only some of the Nature Valley boxes say "all natural". Perhaps I will give the Oats & Honey bars you suggested a try.
madconsumer on 01/30/2012:
helpful review!
thank you for posting.

I love these, but I haven't tried the cashew yet. I love cashews! Very munchable review, J4A!

Three Cheers for Cheerios
Posted by
I don't usually buy fruit flavored cereal because of the artificial taste, but when I was picking up my Chocolate Cheerios at the store, I noticed the bright yellow boxes of Banana Nut Cheerios. I wasn't tempted to try it until I saw that the box said "Flavored with Real Bananas and Natural Banana Flavor". So I looked at the ingredients and sure enough, banana puree was listed, along with natural almond flavor. I was sold. Well, at least I was willing to give it a try.
When I opened the box, I immediately noticed the pleasant smell, not artificial at all, so that was a good start. When I tasted it, the first thing that came to mind was banana nut bread. I continued to eat the cereal right out of the box until I realized half of it was already gone! I then poured some in a bowl and added milk. I enjoyed it that way, too. Then I got the idea to add some chocolate Cheerios, and that made it even better! Either way, Banana Nut Cheerios is a winner if you like banana flavor without an artificial taste.
This cereal has 100 calories per 3/4 cup serving, with 9 grams of sugar and 1g total fat. I will continue to buy this mostly for snacking. It is definitely sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth while still being low in calories, fat and sugar.
I hope you'll try Banana Nut Cheerios and enjoy it as much as I did.

Good review Venice. I usually add fresh fruit to cereal, but this sounds like it's worth a try.
Mrs. V on 03/18/2011:
Nice review! I think I'll get some for my hubby. He loves bananas ^_^
Venice09 on 03/18/2011:
It IS worth a try especially when you don't have fruit in the house. There's nothing like fresh fruit, but at least you get the flavor.
I like Honey Nut and Multi-Grain Cheerios, too. Oh, and Frosted Cheerios are also good!
Anonymous on 03/18/2011:
Excellent review! I love cheerios. I love bananas. I'll give these a try.
Anonymous on 03/18/2011:
I have been scared to try these cause I also hate that fake banana flavor. I will have to try these. The cinnamon cheerios are really yummy and my favorite cereal at the moment.
Venice09 on 03/18/2011:
I saw the cinnamon ones. I think it's apple cinnamon. Maybe I'll try those next. I think GM was smart to come up with all these flavors. It makes eating Cheerios more fun.
Anonymous on 03/18/2011:
They are in a yellow box and it's just cinnamon. The box is smaller for some reason.
Venice09 on 03/18/2011:
I don't think I saw those, yaya. I'll have to look again. They sound good, too.
Anonymous on 03/18/2011:
I wonder if it's limited or only in certain areas or stores. But try it if you find it. It's not overly sweet and has just the right amount of cinnamon
Venice09 on 03/18/2011:
Thanks, yaya. I will.

Shopping list... Banana Nut Cheerios!
CrystalSword on 03/18/2011:
I'm a "banana junkie"....they aren't safe in our home!! Will definitely give these a try since Cheerios is also a favorite, so the two together HAVE to be great! Just hope the stores here carry it!
Anonymous on 03/18/2011:
These sound delicious! I love plain ole Cheerios with either a little brown sugar sprinkled on top or fresh fruit like strawberries or peaches.

WOW, this sounds yummy. Thank you Venice, I added them to my Saturday shopping list
Venice09 on 03/18/2011:
I hope no one's disappointed, but it can't hurt to try it once. I really hope you all like it.

I enjoyed this appetizing review!
Venice09 on 03/19/2011:
Thanks, Alain!
ok4now on 03/19/2011:
Sounds like a winner Venice. I'm not a big cereal person but I will definitely try this based on your recommendation.
Venice09 on 03/19/2011:
I eat a lot of cereal, OK, mostly for snacks. It's better than eating cookies but only if you don't finish the box!

Brown Bugs / Weevils In Un-Opened Box Of Cereal
Posted by
I opened a new box of Fiber One, the plastic pouch was air tight, I poured the cereal, added milk, sat down to eat and watch TV, it tasted funny so I looked closer. There were hundreds of little brown bugs floating and swimming in the milk!! I had eaten 3 bites, this pissed me off and I threw it out. If I don't get sick, I'll be more observant before eating! If I do, General Mills will hear from my lawyer! Quality control is not what it used to be.

That's disgusting. I just bought two boxes of Fiber One 80 Calorie. I'll be looking at it very carefully before eating.
Did you check the expiration date? I hope you kept the box so you can call the GM and give them the lot number. I'm sure they'll want to know about this.

Insect filth: Average is 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when 6 100-gram subsamples are examined OR any 1 subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments
Rodent filth: Average is 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams in 6 100-gram subsamples examined OR any 1 subsample contains 3 or more rodent hairs
Insects and insect eggs: 5 or more Drosophila and other fly eggs per 250 ml or 1 or more maggots per 250 ml
Parasites: 3% of the fillets examined contain 1 or more parasites accompanied by pus pockets
Insect filth: Average of 225 insect fragments or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples

Paul Smith on 09/24/2012:
I've been a cook for 21 years in the military. My daughter opened up a box of cheerios and proceeded to have a bowl, only to find bugs in the cereal. Now I've heard of bugs in flour or weevils as there commonly known as but these were like black little curled up millipeds but tinier. I know my food products but not often do you hear of it in cereal in sealed bags. The bugs were dead already so I'm assuming it originated from the plant. I called up General Mills and I was going to send the bag back to them for them to analyze but I guess it wasn't necessary but she did take care of me. I just don't think my daughter is going to eat the cereal anymore. Me being military just for a laugh we would tell the customer don't let anyone else know they might want it too. lol

I've noticed them in General Mills, Raisin Nut Bran.....Which I just ate a bowl a few minutes ago and noticed a little brown bug in my cereal, was disgusted and gave it to the dog. North Eastern Ohio

Fresh Dated Food - Old
Posted by
baking mom
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA -- I love the rolls made by General Mills listed under Pillsbury. Both the Orange Sweet rolls and the Cinnamon rolls are a favorite of my family. I buy them regularity. Today I went to bake some orange sweet rolls and upon opening the container it blew up. The dough was gooey and the icing was running over the dough. I checked the date because I would expect to see that if the product was out dated. The date was October 24, 2009.
I'm enclosing the code msg23 23:254. I hope no one else has this problem.

madconsumer on 09/05/2009:
did you leave them out of the fridge to long before opening? this happens when they are left to get warm.
Ytropious on 09/05/2009:
Warm dough = goo fest. They either thawed heavily before you used them, or you left them out a while back when putting them away.
madconsumer on 09/05/2009:
this reminds me of a story in dallas years ago where a lady thought she had been shot in the head. after her grocery shopping, she loaded her bags into the backseat. a can of biscuits exploded. the can hit her head, and dough stuck in her hair. she felt the dough oozing and thought it was her brains. the poor woman really thought she was going to die. passerby'ers came to her screams, only to discover the stituation. as reported, some busted into laughter to her dismay. they calmed her down and gave comfort. in an interview she gave, she said she thought that was it, but later found it very funny.
Ytropious on 09/05/2009:
I remember that! I read it on snopes I believe. I don't know how you can mistake brains for mushy dough, but I guess since I doubt anyone has felt brains it could be a simple mistake. I always kind of felt brains would have more of a jell-o feel, you know?

Anonymous on 09/05/2009:
If this happened to me, I would just take them back to the store (assuming I had the receipt). If the store wouldn't want to exchange it, then I'd approach General Mills. I don't know why the store wouldn't exchange it, though.
Either way, I would not be in a good mood, since just waiting for those things to cook is already long enough, then you have to add the icing, then you have to wait a little more and good grief I want them now!
Anonymous on 09/05/2009:
mundo, good point! Sometimes things are just messed up when you buy them. Anyway, the store could have left them out of refrigeration (or anyone between)--rather than the op.
BokiBean on 09/05/2009:
Oh, and to the OP I thought this was just one of the perils of using pressurized dough...

Ikea sells really good cinnamon rolls in their little cafe area. They are huge and only cost $1, and it's way easier than trying to make them. I've tried making cinnamon rolls from scratch, and it was a disaster. And I think that the ones you are talking about from Pillsbury don't taste as good as rolls made from scratch.
Anonymous on 09/06/2009:
little, you're right about the ones made from scratch! I took a bread baking class years ago from a German baker. We learned how to make the best cinnamon rolls ever. After hours, they would finally go in the oven. Then they would be gone in about five minutes, lol! Most people just don't have the time to put into these anymore, but they are definitely a treat.

KIA, your right. Any homemade bread product is awesome. My favorite is homemade monkey bread. What's yours?

The last time I was in Mexico, in a village approx 20 miles from Guadalahara, I was amazed to find many of the exact items in the grocery that we have on our shelves here, labeling and all. We are not the only country these companies ship to and I expect it's much more cost effective to print labels in several languages. I think your beef is thinking GM is using another language for the benefit of people in our country. Perhaps so, but they do sell in areas other than America and use the same packaging.

And flipper I'd be in the right to flip you off for that dumb comment you made. You'd be Shocked to know that Many immigrants who migrate to the states actually make an effort to learn the English language, speak it, write it, and USE it better than a lot of Americans.

I bought these in the red in an XL. I am 5'7"150 lb 29 waist, 40 hips with larger thighs, and they fit slightly loose, like I was hoping for. The fabric is slightly stretchy and durable. I wear them for XC riding and downhill, very comfortable for both. Wish they came with a chamois, but I already have a couple so I can live with it.

Taxes » Tax Filing » You Can File Your Return Without 1099 Forms
If you received interest or dividend income, sold a stock or worked as an independent contractor, you'll get some version of the Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 to help you complete your tax return.
As with W-2 wage statements, 1099 forms usually must be distributed to recipients by the end of January. If Jan. 31 falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the deadline shifts to the next business day.
If you don't receive an expected Form 1099 in early February, contact the issuer. Perhaps the payer has an incorrect or incomplete address for you. Alert the issuer of the changes and ask for a reissued statement.
Even if they tell you it's in the mail, ask for a duplicate.
If mid-February comes and goes without arrival of either the original or duplicate statement, call the IRS at (800) 829-1040 for help in getting this information.
But you don't necessarily have to wait for the statements to file your return. You generally don't have to send in the actual 1099 forms with your return. They are just issued so you'll know how much to report, with copies going to the IRS so return processors can double-check your entries. As long as you have the correct information, you can put it on your tax form without having the statement in hand.
The easiest way to get this missing data is to call the employer, bank or investment company and ask for your income information over the phone. In some cases, the amounts that would be on a 1099 are readily available from documents you already have.
For example, your bank may put a summary of the interest paid during the year on your account's December or January statement. Many financial companies make the interest figure available through customer service phone lines or websites. And most investment firms include the year's Form 1099 cumulative amounts as part of quarterly dividend statements.
If your missing 1099 does finally show up, don't discard it because you got the information elsewhere and already filed your return. Check the form to ensure the amount it contains is the same as what you reported. If there is any discrepancy, call the issuer to reconcile the differences.
When the late-arriving data are correct and what you filed is not, you'll need to file an amended return Form 1040X. If you don't, expect a call from the IRS because the agency will use the final 1099 as its basis for reviewing your return for accuracy.
Below is a table of various 1099 forms. Don't be concerned if the interest statements from separate financial institutions don't look alike. The IRS doesn't care what format the issuer uses. It just wants the income and tax information.
NOTE: The Social Security and railroad benefits statements are not IRS documents. Those 1099s are issued by the Social Security Administration and the federal Railroad Retirement Board.

My husband has been complaining about knee pain for the past few weeks. He's been riding his bike quite a lot and that's what has probably set off the knee pain I would say. He knows my what response will generally be to any complaints about knee pain – stretch your quads! and so he has been – stretching his quads I mean!
Quads in case you're not familiar with the muscles in your legs or the abbreviation are referring to the quadriceps muscles which are the four big muscles that make up the bulk on the front of the thigh. When they get overly tight, they can cause knee pain that often begins with a feeling of tightness in the knee. There may be clicking or a grinding feeling. A feeling that something just isn't right in the knee and eventually pain. Sometimes the pain comes on straight away. Stretching the quads will usually help to relieve this problem and it will definitely help to prevent it so always make sure you stretch after exercise.
But sometimes stretching isn't enough. I've experienced this myself over the years probably because I have a tendency to forget to stretch after exercise – or to just miss certain muscle groups – particularly my quads! They just seem like a hassle for me to stretch for some reason and I'm often just too lazy and put them off then forget about them, if I'm honest. Then gradually I feel one or both knees tightening up.
Massaging the quads can help release them and to correct the knee pain. It's really simple! It doesn't have to take a long time and it can be done at home.
Even simpler is a soft tissue technique which I use on myself, I've used on many clients over the years and I just used on my husband. The knee pain and tightness can be gone in seconds! I'll try to describe how it's performed and I've added a video below showing the technique.
Have the person sit with the leg out straight, but relaxed. Take hold of the knee cap with the tips of your fingers of one hand (I am right handed and so use my right hand). The fingers are kind of hooked (as though you were making a claw shape I guess) and grabbing the top of the knee cap – in other words the edge closest to the body (or proximal edge if you have any medical training).
If you imagine that you are picking up a tennis ball with your finger tips – your hand and fingers are in that shape – so the palm of your hand is not touching the knee at all, but instead is above the knee cap and your fingers are quite close together (more so than if it was an actual ball).
With the other hand, wrap the inside edge of the thumb and the pointer finger around the fingers of the first hand – so it's kind of cupped around the fingers that have hold of the knee cap.
Then have the person who's knee you are releasing (or yourself if it's your own knee) take a deep breath and as they breath out (slow gradual breath out), place a downward pressure towards the foot with the second hand as though trying to (gently!) push the knee cap down toward the foot (toward the distal end of the limb).
What is actually happening is you are stretching the quad muscles and lengthening them. You may feel a creaking feeling as the muscle lengthens and the knee cap moves a little. A second breath can be taken and the stretch continued.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are a strong person – be gentle!! We want the knee cap left attached to the leg! There should be no pain. Go gently. The release can be repeated if you don't have it quite right.
This is a simple, quick release that will give immediate relief if done correctly. Give it a try and if you're not sure that you've got it right take another look at the video.

Forks Over Knives is a 2011 American documentary film directed by American independent filmmaker Lee Fulkerson that advocates a low-fat whole-food, plant-based diet as a means of combating a number of diseases. The film was created and executive produced by Brian Wendel and produced by John Corry. The DVD of Forks Over Knives was released on August 30, 2011.[1]
Through an examination of the careers of American physician Caldwell Esselstyn and professor of nutritional biochemistry T. Colin Campbell, Forks Over Knives suggests that "most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods." [2] It also provides an overview of the 20-year China–Cornell–Oxford Project that led to Professor Campbell's findings, outlined in his book, The China Study (2005) in which he suggests that coronary artery disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer can be linked to the Western diet of processed and animal-based foods (including all dairy products).[2]
With regard to describing the nutritional approach as a "whole foods plant-based" rather than "vegan" one in the film, Director Lee Fulkerson, in an interview with Canada's National Post, said, "Veganism just means anything that doesn't have animal-based products in it. But you can still eat highly processed foods that are vegan," citing potato chips and french fries as examples. "You want to use minimally processed things."[3]

Critical response[edit]
As of 16 September 2014[update], on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Forks Over Knives received a rating of 61% (23 Fresh, 15 Rotten), based upon 37 reviews.[4] On Metacritic, the film had an average score of 57 out of 100, based on 18 reviews, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[5]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three out of four stars and states: "here is a film that could save your life." He also suggests that "Forks Over Knives is not subtle. It plays as if it had been made for doctors to see in medical school."[6] Loren King of The Boston Globe gave the film three out of four stars and suggests that, "what An Inconvenient Truth did for global warming, Lee Fulkerson's persuasive documentary does for a vegan diet".[7] Carrie Rickey of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film three out of four stars and describes it as "an earnest and fact-filled work of food evangelism." [8]
Sean O'Connell of The Washington Post gave the film two out of four stars and argues that it is "an interesting and informative health lecture that's sandwiched into a dry, repetitive documentary" and said that "it's desperately in need of charisma, humor or personality to balance the steady stream of scientific facts we're asked to absorb".[9] Rex Reed of The New York Observer gave the film 2/4 and argues that "I'm sure there is much to be learned from Forks Over Knives (the title means a healthy diet should be consumed with a fork rather than diverging from this path, which could lead to the knife or scalpel)."[10] Corey Hall of the Metro Times gave the film a "C" and states that "while it's impossible to dispute the basic premise that eating more vegetables is good for you, Forks adopts a staunch anti-meat and -dairy stance that leaves the door open for criticism."[11]

More reviews by SilentPerfection
Only been using this 2 weeks but im already in love! Mine is a combo of rice bran oil, grapeseed oil, aloe juice, borax, and beeswax. Being disabled and sick all the time I cant keep up with a "typical" hygiene routine and my face pays for it. Even in the time I have been using it my redness is reuced and the flaking around my nose and mouth is gone!
I think next batch I am going to separate some to whip in some salicylic acid into. I usually need more exfoliating and such around my cycle and that may be the boost it needs to deal with my monthly cysts.

I have to use the OCM every night to make sure that all of my sunscreen comes off and prevent break outs. Even when using my clarisonic it feels like I haven't removed it all. I like OCM and it's been great for my skin but it's messy and runny. I started looking into cold cream since it's basicly the same thing and I won't have to worry about leaking bottles when I travel or spills in the bath. Ponds apparently lost their minds and changed their formula to skin irritation in a jar so I had to pass on that and couldn't find a commercial alternative that resembles the old formula. I did come across Deborah's Homemade Cold Cream recipe online (listed below by a previous poster) and love how easy it was to make and the fact that you can customize by subbing whatever oils and wax that works best for your skin. I bought some mineral oil and had candelilla wax on hand and whipped this up in less than 15 minutes. This wax is harder than beeswax though so I cut the amount to 1 heaping Tbsp and the texture came out perfect. I store it in a small clear tupperware container in the fridge. As for the cleaning process, for my combo skin the best routine I've found is after massaging this in well I wipe as much off as possible with a tissue and then wipe down with one of those cheap cotton flour sack cloths after soaking it in hot water. They have just the right texture for gentle exfoliation and are gentle enough to use around my eyes. They are also nice and big and cost about $1 at Walmart. Then do a quick wash with Dr. Bronner or a similar castille soap with cool water. This gets off all of my waterproof mascara, make up and sunscreen without stripping my skin or stinging my eyes and just enough moisture is left behind so that I don't need another moisturizer. I've also found this to be very versatile, it makes a great over night moisturizer for elbows and feet, add a little brown sugar or sea salt for a face or body scrub and I've found that it works better than regular cream or gel for shaving my legs and leaves them nice and soft.
Mineral Oil is not the greenest option but I decided to use it because after researching, despite it's bad rep, it's listed as one of the least reactive oils you can use on your skin. It doesn't make me break out and I can find it for $2 a bottle at my local drug store. I usually use plant based oils like argan and passion fruit because they provide nice nutrients but didn't want to waste a 1/2 cup of expensive oils on what could have amounted to a failed experiment. Now that I know this works so well I'll have to give them a try but I'm happy with this more classic version and you really can't beat the price. All of the ingredients when purchased cost less than a jar of Ponds and probably comes out to pocket change per batch. Add in the fact that it takes less time to make than it would to to go the store and buy a jar and you really can't go wrong with this.

I've been making my own cold cream for a couple years now, and using it regularly (as my main cleanser) since this spring when I switched to a hypoallergenic facial sunscreen that simply laughs at soap and water.
I make the version that you will find if you Google "Cold cream recipe beauty bottle", with the exception of using light olive oil instead of mineral oil, and rosewater instead of distilled water for a beautiful scent.
Because it has no preservatives, I'm careful to prepare it using scrupulously clean utensils, put it in a freshly scrubbed jar, and I keep it in the fridge; a batch lasts 2 weeks minimum, but after that I start getting nervous about bacteria and chuck what's left. I take the cream out of the jar each night with a clean spoon instead of my grubby mitts. (You can freeze part of the batch, by the way; it doesn't get solid, but it probably keeps longer).
I had to tinker with the oil selection. Initially I used some rice bran oil and found myself getting small bumps and just not very nice skin. When I switched to light olive oil (there's always lots around because I buy at in bulk at Costco) my skin became smooth and glowing again. I do follow with salicylic acid acne lotion because I'm acne-prone, but the cold cream in no way increases my tendency to break out. I massage generously with it to remove sunscreen and makeup, wipe with cotton rounds and then follow with a gentle handmade soap like Chagrin Valley honey butter soap.
Anyway! The cold cream removes my sunscreen and makeup like a dream, my skin is soft and clear, and it's dirt cheap. I sometimes think about just grabbing a jar of Ponds and skipping the (minimal) trouble of mixing mine up, but then I remember the formula change and decline to be disappointed.

I have started making my own cold cream, using this recipe:
1/4 teaspoon borax
1/4 cup distilled water
1/2 cup mineral oil, or another oil that is liquid at room temperature (Almond is nice)
1/2 ounce (by weight) grated beeswax**(see below)
Dissolve the borax in the water in a (one cup) glass measuring cup. Set aside.
Dump together the oil and beeswax in a larger (2-cup) glass measuring cup.
Heat the oil/beeswax mix in a microwave until the beeswax is melted in and the mixture is clear.
Heat the borax/water mix in a microwave for a minute - almost to boiling.
Slowly pour the borax/water mixture into the oil/beeswax mixture, using a stick blender to mix as you pour. Now beat well with the stick blender until the mix is glossy white and thickened up some.
Pour the (hot) cold cream into an 8-ounce jar with a lid.
Let it cool to room temperature.
NOTE: If you don't have a stick blender you can beat the cold cream with a whisk or in a regular blender, but the cleanup will be much more difficult. By using glass measuring cups and a stick blender you will be able to simply wipe most of the excess off with paper towels, then wash in hot soapy water. Cleaning plastic measuring cups, and a whisk or (worse yet) a blender of this wax-containing product is difficult and a pain in the neck.
I apply it, leave it on for a few minutes (while brushing my teeth) and then wipe it off with a tissue. You can also wash it off with a cloth and warm water.
It causes my sensitive skin zilch reactions, and leaves it soft and happy. It also does not make me break-out, which most things do! If you have sensitive skin, this is worth trying (and if it does not work for you, you can always use it as a moisturiser for hands/feet etc).
I use a mix of avocado/apricot kernel/sweet almond oil, but you could just use one oil. All clear oils that are liquid at room temperature will work fine, although apparently some people who made this with extra virgin olive oil found it too heavy. I estimate a batch which lasts me 2 months costs around $3.50.
Edited to add: this was too heavy for me in the end. I now just do OCM with hemp oil- which works brilliantly.

This is so easy to make!
100 grams of almond oil (or any other vegetable oil preferred. 2 or more oils can be combined.)
75 grams of Rosewater
16 grams of Beeswax
(1 or 2 drops of essential oil of rose for fragrance. Optional.)
Pour the oil into a bowl and add the beeswax. Put the bowl in a kettle of water and heat it up slowly until the beeswax melts and mixes with the oil, which happens at about 70°C. (This way of heating the oil-beeswax is called bain-marie or water-bath.) Remove from the the heat and remove the bowl from the kettle of water.
Pour the rosewater directly into another kettle and heat it up to about 70°C. Do not boil.
Pour the rosewater s-l-o-w-l-y into the oil-beeswax and stir continuously until the mix is at room temperature. (Optional: Add essential oil here.) Continue to stir until cool. (An electric mixer is excellent, as it cools the mixture much faster. If you don't stir until the mixture cools completely, it will separate when refrigerated.)
Pour in a jar and refrigerate.
This cold cream keeps for 3 months in the fridge. Scoop out a week's ration at a time and put it in a separate jar is you wish. There is no need to refrigerate this smaller amount if used within a week-10 days.
I find that a mix of 50% almond oil, 50% jojoba oil works best for my dry, sensitive skin. It gives me just enough moisture without becoming too heavy.
I use this Cold Cream to remove makeup, which it does better than any makeup remover I've ever used. It even takes off stubborn mineral foundation. I just smooth it on, massage for a minute or so, then remove using a couple of damp cotton pads. I don't rinse with water afterwards.
I also use it as moisturizer, now in winter in conjunction with Nivea creme to seal in the moisture. For my hair, I use it as a hair cream. A pea or two is perfect for my shoulder length, curly and coarse hair. It gives me soft and shiny curls without any hold, which is what I prefer, since my hair is quite stiff by itself.
This cold cream has saved my skin and hair this very cold and dry winter. It's really an all-in-one product for skin and hair care!

Santa Monica's industrial corridor has just seen yet another hi-tech/entertainment company move in and renovate an older building into an inspiring office. Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio, Inc and Andy Waisler renewed a 17,000 square-foot, 1940s warehouse into a stunning creative space for a well-known International animation studio. Urban Studio focused on sustainability and conservation throughout the renovation process as a way to preserve the original character of the warehouse.
The 70-year old structure was preserved through Urban Studio's design, and includes the original bowstring trusses, the brick façade, and the concrete floors. Much of the rest of the design maintains flexible spaces with an open floor plan, with one exception: the cube in the middle of the room. As if a centerpiece to Urban Studio's design, a wood clad cube seems to float aimlessly in the room due to a small black band at the base which secures it to the foundation. This cube holds the animation studio's screening, editing, and IT rooms. The flexibility of the space continues upstairs to a mezzanine level where a conference room overlooks the cube.
The clean and warm design imparted by the Urban Studio design team provides a wonderful space in which the employees can work. Two large sliding doors open the space to the outdoor garden that sits adjacent to the warehouse, allowing for nature to flood into the space at any given moment. Small polished details and clean renovation techniques have helped to save an aging warehouse and re-urbanize more of Los Angeles.

The Supreme Court has upheld the right of local officials to open town council meetings with prayer, ruling that this does not violate the Constitution even if the prayers routinely stress Christianity.
The court said in a 5-4 decision Monday that the content of the prayers is not critical as long as officials make a good-faith effort at inclusion.
The ruling was a victory for the town of Greece, N.Y., outside of Rochester.
"The prayer opportunity in this case must be evaluated against the backdrop of historical practice," the majority wrote in its opinion. "As a practice that has long endured, legislative prayer has become part of our heritage and tradition, part of our expressive idiom, similar to the Pledge of Allegiance, inaugural prayer, or the recitation of 'God save the United States and this honorable Court' at the opening of this Court's sessions."

Barry University
- 0May 19, '09 by LegacyJSHi everyone
I am a little confused and hope you can help me. I was thinking about applying to Barry's Accelerated program. I looked at their site and all the info however it says no repeats, well i had a c in one of my science courses and retook it and received an A. At the time i originally took this course i was not planning on majoring in Nursing so i did bare minimum but it seems its coming back to hunt me. So my question is since i have a repeat should i just forget about Barry? or do you know of anyone who has gotten in with a repeat? Also the only classes that are required in order to apply are the science courses since i already have a BS? thanks for any and all info you may provide.
- 2May 20, '09 by GCoro002Hi there,
I have recently been accepted to their accelerated program for their upcoming Spring Term. I remember when I met with one of the admission's counselors that she told me they wouldn't accept repeats for sciences courses and would consider repeats for other courses that have nothing to do with the nursing program. For example, if you had a D in government, they would probably overlook that. In your case, you didn't fail the science course. You should consider speaking with one of the admission's counselors because there might still be a chance that you can get in. You also have to think about the other science courses you have taken. If you did really well in the other courses, maybe it won't matter. For instance, I had all A's in my science course with the exception of Bio where I got a C...
I think you should just give them a call and see what they say.
- 1May 29, '09 by jmi0886You can repeat the class as long as you did not fail it the first time. I am starting this Fall and I had the same issue I was worried about. Good luck!!
- 0May 31, '09 by jmh02sHi all:
I spoke to an admissions advisor at Barry the other day, hoping to get into their January accelerated program. I was very disappointed to hear that I didn't have a chance of getting in for January, since I still had a few pre-reqs left to do (A&P II, biochem, & microbiology) & would be too much of a "liability" to accept, since they wouldn't be able to determine how I'd fare in the actual nursing program. Did any of you have similar experiences?? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what were your GPA's to get accepted into the program? Thanks for all of your help!
- 0May 31, '09 by jmi0886Hey Jenn,
I was accepted for this Fall with a 3.4 overall and like a 3.8 in my sciences. This was my second time applying because i did not get into the program the year before because i was still enrolled in a lot of my pre-reqs. Since your doing the accelerated it might be a little more competitive. Good luck !
- 0Jul 29, '09 by AsiraI think they look at your overall GPA, but with a stronger look into your sciences. I had a 3.6 GPA all around with a 3.9ish in the sciences and I was accepted into their accelerated for Spring '10. It couldn't hurt to go and talk to an adviser anyways, considering you technically didn't retake the course because you failed, only to raise your GPA. :]
- Monica
PS. Nice to see some people here who I may be seeing around come January.
- 0Jul 31, '09 by jmh02sBarry has a continuous, rolling application timeline; however, they are already full for the January session (alternates included), so the next session you'll be able to apply for would be the Fall session. I'm applying for their Accelerated program, and I know for that program they look at your overall GPA (it needs to be above 3.0, but more like a 3.3 and above to be competitive), but focus more on your science classes when considering your application (such as A&P 1&2, Chemistry, etc). I'm not sure how they evaluate applications for the Basic BSN program, but I'd assume it's in a similar fashion. Good luck!

Preview: Outfest 2011
By Eddie Shapiro
Do you think sex is needed to sell a gay film?
Ludwinski: It does seem like it's sort of expected.
Gonzalez: I think it's in our society. Sex sells in general -- gay or not. In our film, it's summer, it's hot' although I guess the director made it that way so we would be naked a lot!
Brocka: It certainly gets more attention if you are flipping through a festival guide and see a hot shirtless guy. The Eating Out films in particular are basically American Pie for gay people, so I want to see people having sex and all of the hijinks that lead to the weird situations. So I have to have sex in it.
This question is for the actors. In this day and age, do you think that playing gay is still something to think twice about?
Ludwinski: Oh yes. I was very nervous about taking the role. These gay movies -- some are quite good -- but they still can have a stigma around them. Mine takes such a racy angle, and that was scary. But ultimately, it's such a great part. And being the lead in a feature film was an awesome experience, so it's not like I was gonna say 'No.'
What about being an out actor. Has that been an issue for you?
Ludwinski: I have been instructed many times not to talk about my personal life, so I don't. But it is outrageous that anyone of alternative sexuality can't in this day and age, when we ostensibly don't care -- but we still don't want our leading actors to be gay. We don't mind having gay people around but we want them in certain roles.
Gonzalez: I think it's ironic that the majority of the people in power in Hollywood are gay executives and they're the ones not allowing the actors to come out. But my personal opinion on the whole thing is that it's my job to convince you as actor that I am that person on the screen, and the more you know about my personal life, the harder it is to do that. I was reading an article with Matt Damon, and he said, 'If I reveal to you that I am a father of three, at home every day having breakfast and coloring with my kids, are you going to believe that I am jumping from window to window killing people? No, it's going to break the illusion.'

CBS 2 - Search Results
Part 2: Survivor Winner's Journey In CA
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA/TEMECULA, CA (CBS2/FOX28) - When Cedar Rapids, Iowa Survivor winner, DeniseStapley, first met Brandon Federowicz from Buffalo, New York on her Facebook fan page she had no idea he was using social media to learn how to communicate better as a person with Autism. She also didn't know, that their online interaction would lead to friendship and together they'd end up being teammates in an event called Reality Rally. It's an event that, for them, was about everything other than the competition.
Brandon signed up to run in his dad, John's, honor. John passed away last October after a five and a half month battle with leukemia. He came to race with Denise, his reality star hero and friend.
"It gives the platform to really try and make a difference," Denise said about participating in the rally.
Denise and Brandon were joined on their team by Brandon's cousin, Lisa Howell, and his mother, Charlene Federowicz.
"He was a really good guy, he was funny and he loved his family very much," Lisa said amid tears as she described her Uncle John and prepared to race for him.
"And if he was alive today, he would have been here with us!" Charlene added about her husband.
While Autism makes it hard sometimes for Brandon to communicate, the rally helped serve as his platform for him to honor and love his father.
"Yes, I am happy for the race," Bradon said.
Gillian Larson, a former Survivor contestant, is the creator of the race. Gillian tried for eight years to get on Survivor, when she did, she was voted off week two. That gave her plenty of time to think about what Survivor was supposed to mean to her. In the end, she organized the race. It raises money for Michelle's Place, a breast cancer charity in Temecula, California. Reality stars and fans are paired up to participate in the "Amazing Race Style Race" that takes place throughout the streets of Old Town Temecula. All who participate, are required to make a donation. For Denise, being at the race with Brandon and his family, was humbling.
"There is always that motivation, you know, that's the reason that I got the honor of participating, you know, it's unfortunately because his dad died," Denise said.
Gillian added that she found Denise and Brandon's story inspiring. She saw their participation in the rally as the perfect way to move forward after a tragic event.
"It is not what happens to you in life, it's how you deal with it that determines the path of the rest of your life," She said.
Reality Rally involves 11 challenges in Old Town Temecula. The entire event can last up to four hours! It includes everything from tasks involving basic math, to mechanical bull riding to acting and walking on a hanging bridge.
"He did it all. He did it all! It was like watching him jump hurdle after hurdle after hurdle. He just excelled," Charlene said of Brandon with pride.
Then, in the final challenge, Brandon had to climb a rock wall blindfolded with Denise as his guide. While the challenge took Brandon quite some time, he kept going, working his way toward a bell at the top.
"We don't give up, Federowicz's don't give up!" Charlene said.
"Watching him get to the top of the wall was the best thing!" Lisa added.
It was a moment that captured the attention of onlookers. Denise and Brandon's team would be the very last to finish.
"We had gathered an audience; I don't know who everyone else was that was standing to watch us get him to the top, and everybody cheered. That's just awesome!" Denise said.
"This is a message to everybody out there, that even if you're a little different from the ordinary, that you're still an amazing human person, being with love and a heart. So we should reach out to everybody," Gillian added.
It was a rally that brought hearts together and helped Brandon's family, with the assistance of Denise, find joy in celebrating John's life.
"Even though we came in last, because save the best for last, spirits are still up, because of the reason why we're here," Charlene said after crossing the finish line.
"I think he was so proud of me!" Brandon said of his dad.
"He might have chuckled a few times, but I believe he was proud!" Charlene said.
In the final part of our three part series airing on Thursday night, Sadie Hughes shares the purpose behind the rally and how it further unites Denise and Brandon. That's Thursday night on FOX28/CBS2.

Celebrating St. Joan of Arc's birthday, New Orleans' French heritage and Twelfth Night, the Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc walking parade is styled as a medieval saint procession and festival, "set" in Joan's time in 1400s France. It's a short, family-friendly parade — quirky, whimsical and sometimes spiritual. The public is invited to watch the parade and join us at the end of the parade (7-7:30ish) at Washington Artillery Park for the crowning of the king and our first king cake of the 2015 Carnival season. The krewe will have some king cake to share but parade goers are encouraged to bring their own king cake to share and perhaps some picnic wine or pick up a hot drink from one of the coffee shops next to Washington Artillery Park.
The Phunny Phorty Phellows annual Streetcar Ride along the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar Line to Herarld the Arrival of Carnival 2015.
The costumed and masked krewe assemble on Twelfth Night, Tuesday, January 6th at the Willow Street Car Barn at 6:30pm and depart at 7pm sharp. Of course the Storyville Stompers Brass Band ride with us.
All are invited to attend the merriment and see the PPP off, and possibly recieve a Phunny Phorty Phellows Phavor.
The PPP is an historic Mardi Gras organization that first took to the streets 1878 through 1898. They were known for their satirical parades and today¹s krewe members' costumes often reflect topical themes. The group was revived in 1981. One Carnival historian has referred to the organization as the "Dessert of Carnival."
Honi soit qui mal y pense
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men."
The Battle of New Orleans was not, as many people believe, fought in one day. Rather the battle at Chalmette represented the culmination of a lengthy Gulf campaign involving at least 10 battles, some of which the British won. Join historian Ron Chapman as he explores evidence suggesting that, had they won the war, Great Britain intended to give the territory acquired in the Louisiana Purchase back to Spain.
Chapman is a history professor at Nunez Community College and a recipient of the Spirit of 1812 Award from the National Society United States Daughters of 1812. A popular speaker on Louisiana history, he also writes a weekly column for the The St. Bernard Voice.
The annual Blush Ball is the signature event of the iconic Pussyfooters – 100-plus members strong, all women over 30, parading in trademark pink plumage and corsets in nearly 50 parades, fundraisers and special events year round.
