High Noon is a 1952 American Western film produced by Stanley Kramer from a screenplay by Carl Foreman, directed by Fred Zinnemann, and starring Gary Cooper. The plot, depicted in real time, centers around a town marshal who is torn between his sense of duty and love for his new bride and who must face a gang of killers alone. 

Though mired in controversy with political overtones at the time of its release, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won four (Actor, Editing, Music-Score, and Music-Song) as well as four Golden Globe Awards (Actor, Supporting Actress, Score, and Cinematography-Black and White). The award-winning score was written by Russian-born composer Dimitri Tiomkin. The song was sung by Frankie Laine.

Dear Readers:

I use this handy household tip and it really works!

Mix Dish Soap with Just One Other Ingredient and Your Shower Will Be Spotless

Article from TIP HERO website

http://tiphero.com/2-ingredient-shower-cleaner/?ref=wn

The shower is a difficult place to clean. Mostly because it continues to get grimy no matter what you do. Oftentimes, we’ll let soap scum and other shower stains sit and sit, whether it’s because of a lack of time or a lack of drive to clean! Whatever the reason, shower stains that linger are very difficult to get out. Well, don’t worry about the shape of your shower, because the Queen of Clean has a brilliant shower cleaner that will work on any tough shower stains! 

This miracle cleaner only requires two ingredients, both of which are easy to come by – you probably have them under your kitchen sink right now! But when these two cleaning products are mixed together, they create a super-cleaning product that will make your shower sparkle like new.

Whether you have tile, fiberglass, or faux marble in your shower, this DIY cleaning product can get the job done. Here’s what you’ll need to get on your way to a gloriously clean shower:

Materials

• 1 cup Dawn dishwasher soap
• 1 cup heated vinegar
• Funnel
• Spray bottle
• Sponge

Instructions

1. Heat up your vinegar in the microwave or on the stove; it should only be warm to the touch, not scalding hot.
2. Use a funnel to get both ingredients into your spray bottle.
3. Roll the spray bottle around to combine the two ingredients.
4. To use, spray a heavy coat of the mixture onto your shower wall. Use the scrubbing side of a sponge to gently rub the mixture in.
5. Leave this spray to sit on your shower walls for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, wash each wall one at a time with cold water.

If you’re going to wash your shower floor, too (which might not be a bad idea), make sure you clean this part last. The reason why is pretty straight forward: this is a soap mixture, which means the ground is going to get slippery. And we don’t want you to slip and fall in the shower!

When making your miracle shower cleaner, make sure of two things:

1. The vinegar should not be too hot when you’re heating it up! You don’t want it to be boiling or even get too hot that you can’t comfortably put a finger in the liquid. You’re simply heating it up.
2. Do not shake the bottle to combine the two ingredients. Shaking the bottle will cause suds (remember, there’s dish soap in there) which is what we DO NOT want. Just roll the bottle in your hands to combine the mixture.

If you’ve been struggling to find the perfect thing to rid your shower of soap scum or hard water stains, give this easy miracle mixture a try.

This is such a simple, inexpensive way to get your shower seriously clean! And believe us, after letting this miracle cleaner soak on your shower walls, your shower WILL be seriously clean.

ARTICLE - "14 UNEXPECTED ITEMS THAT CONTAIN TOXINS LIKE BPA"

14 Hidden Sources of Toxins in Plastics That You’re Exposing Yourself to Every Day

Article from the TIP HERO website

http://tiphero.com/hidden-sources-of-toxins/

 Whether you choose to jump on the plastic-free-lifestyle bandwagon or not, you’re probably coming into contact with BPA and other toxic chemicals on a daily basis in places that might surprise you.

Wondering just what BPA is exactly? It stands for “bisphenol A” which is a chemical commonly used in plastic and other products. It has been reported to be an endocrine disruptor and possibly also raise blood pressure. It can cause such problems as infertility, low sperm count, early puberty, asthma and even breast cancer.

BPA has been shown to transfer to food and drinks that are stored in products that contain this chemical. While you may already be avoiding plastic food containers and plastic water bottles, there are many more products that contain BPA.

1.    Canned Goods

BPA is often used in the lining of canned food. It may be present in very high amounts due to the high heat involved in the sterilization process. The best idea is to skip canned food altogether and choose fresh or frozen food instead.

2.    Receipts

Any receipt printed on thermal paper may be lined with BPA. If a receipt contains BPA and it’s recycled with other paper products, it can contaminate those paper products as well. The safest choice is to skip the receipt.

3.    Coffee Pots

BPA can be found in many coffee pots, and this is of particular concern because of the high heat involved since heat can make the problem of BPA leaching into food and drinks even worse.

4.    Soda Cans

Many soda cans have BPA in the lining. This is just one more reason to stop drinking soda.

5.    Paper Cups

We don’t often think of paper as a source of BPA. Many plastic cups are lined with BPA, but many paper cups are too. It’s always a better option to drink out of a reusable mug.

6.    CDs and DVDs

Although a small source of BPA, this is a good reason to ditch the CD or DVD library for digital versions.

7.    Dental Sealants

 If your dentist recommends sealants, be sure to ask for BPA-free ones.  

8.    Toothbrushes

Many toothbrushes are plastic. Be sure to choose one that’s BPA-free.

9.    Toothpaste Tubes

Toothpaste often comes in a plastic tube, and these tubes may contain BPA as well which can leach into the toothpaste inside.

10. Baby Formula

Powdered baby formula often comes in cans that may contain BPA in the lining. If breastfeeding isn’t an option, look for baby formula that’s not packaged in a can.

11. Plastic wrap

It’s always a better idea to use parchment paper or a reusable container with a lid that doesn’t contain BPA, like a glass or metal container. We love mason jars.

12. Egg Cartons

Skip eggs packaged in polystyrene containers and buy the ones in cardboard cartons instead.

13. Carryout Containers at Restaurants

The plastic or polystyrene containers many restaurants use for you to bring home your leftovers may contain BPA. It’s a good idea to bring your own reusable glass or metal container if you think you’re going to want to bring home leftovers.

14. Plastic Toys

We know babies and young children put everything in their mouths including their toys. The plastic used to make many kids’ toys may contain BPA, so it’s better to buy toys made out of wood, cloth and other non-plastic materials.

While this is not an exhaustive list, we hope it helps you see the variety of products that have hidden toxins inside. Which item on this list did you find the most surprising?
