- brandy3

Product Description: Aaron Greene  an aspiring music executive, who has 72 hrs. to deliver the wild rock legend, Aldous Snow from London to Los Angeles for a comeback concert. In order to keep his job Aaron must navigate a minefield of mayhem and debauchery to get Snow to the world-famous Greek theatre on time! 

**** First of all let me say this movie is not child friendly, not even tween friendly. There is a lot of talk about drugs, lots of sex and the F word is used in every other sentence.   I didn’t really think this movie was all that funny, there are a lot of funny parts, but the movie overall wasn’t that funny.  It was hard to understand what Russell Brand is saying half the time in the movie.   I think it’s definitely a movie worth seeing, it’s just not as funny as everyone says.

Retail:$ 34.98 but you can find on Amazon for $22.99

Release date: September 28, 2010

Running Time: 110 minutes

Ghirardelli created  Luxe Milk to honor milk chocolate lovers looking for the ultimate chocolate experience.  The silky and sumptuous formulation uses 100% All Natural ingredients.

They have 4 delicious flavors:

  • Luxe Milk Almond – Toasted almonds contribute a clean, crisp taste to complement and enhance the flavors of the creamy-sweet milk chocolate base.
  • Luxe Milk – This bar delivers the ultimate premium milk chocolate experience – pure, all-natural milk chocolate with a velvety texture that melts smoothly in your mouth.
  • Luxe Milk Hazelnut – Lavished throughout this bar, all-natural deep- roasted hazelnuts add crunch and a distinctive, sophisticated flavor.
  • LUXE MILK Toffee – This all natural, rich and creamy milk chocolate made from the finest cocoa beans is perfectly matched with buttery,crunchy toffee bits.

****I was able to try the New Luxe Milk Crisp, and I have to say it was very good. Although I don’t think its as good as the original, I actually think it was a little to chocolatey if thats possible. Milk chocolate has always tasted wierd to me. My kids loved it though, they said it was very crispy and delicious.

Retail: $2.29 for a bar

Stop MRSA Now

- brandy3

Skin infections like MRSA, which spread through skin to skin contact as well as contact with equipment and shared items, are the cause of 56 percent of all outbreaks of infectious diseases in competitive sports in the U.S. – but simple steps parents can take can help prevent the spread.  MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a potentially life-threatening antibiotic resistant Staph bacteria that has increasingly been found in community and youth sports settings.

 The Stop MRSA Now Coalition in partnership with The Clorox Company and www.SwapMeSports.com,  has teamed up with professional basketball star Grant Hill to launch Equip them Well, a program to help teach families and sports teams about practical MRSA prevention steps, such as washing hands and disinfecting equipment with a bleach solution.  Like so many others who have been affected by the threat of MRSA, Hill understands the importance of prevention, both in the locker room and on the court.

The Equip Them Well program was created to help stop the spread of MRSA from youth sports equipment.  Paents who disinfect and donate old sports equipment through www.stopMRSANow.org will be entered into a contest for a chance to fly to PHX for a Suns game and meet Grant Hill.

Here are some steps can help prevent MRSA

  • Scrub up – Wash hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand rub sanitizer.  
  • Wipe it down – Use a disinfecting bleach solution to wipe down and disinfect hard surfaces. (1 tablespoon of disinfecting bleach diluted in 1 gallon of water or as directed on label)
  • Cover your cuts – Keep any nicks or wounds covered with a clean, dry bandage until healed.
  • Keep to yourself – Do not share personal items, like towels or razors, that come into contact with bare skin.
  • Use a barrier – Keep a towel or clothing between skin and shared equipment.
  • Don’t play dirty – Wash children’s athletic clothing after each use, using the warmest wash recommended and adding bleach when appropriate.
