New Printable Coupons for Idahoan Potatoes and Ronzoni Pasta

By Cindy Robinson 10/7/10
There are two coupons available for Idahoan Potatoes! If you head over to Facebook and “like” Idahoan Potatoes, you can find a high value $1.00 off printable coupon on their coupon tab. Purchase at stores like Wal-Mart or Target, you will likely get this item for free or very close to it!
The second coupon, .75¢ off three pouches, can be found on their website. While this one isn’t the best deal out there, it can be helpful when stocking up during a sale!
I’m not a huge fan of instant potatoes myself, but I have found the flavored varieties to be a great dry goods staple to have on hand. I enjoy mixing up recipes and trying to new things. Often when I make mashed potatoes, I will add a small amount of a flavored instant potato mix like Idahoans’ Roasted Garlic which adds a nice hint of flavor without being overwhelming (and the kids like it too).
Ronzoni Pasta also has a Facebook coupon available when you “like” them here. It’s $1.00 off of any box of their Healthy Harvest line. Again, finding a good grocery store sale or stopping by Wal-Mart or Target to pick up this pasta will give you a great deal or possibly free pasta! Please let us know if you find a great sale on Ronzoni.
Ronzoni Pasta also has two different coupons available via their website here, $1.00 off two boxes.

David Bowie Releases Station to Station for a New Generation
Posted in Concert, Music Review on October 3, 2010

Out now from Virgin/EMI is the 1976 David Bowie album Station to Station newly remastered along with the previously unreleased fan favorite, a live Bowie performance from Nassau Coliseum in 1976. Available are the fantastic Special Edition ( 3 CD and digital download) and limited Deluxe Edition (5 CD + DVD Audio + 3 LP) packages of the album & live performance packaged with glossy color booklets, postcards & replica fan club items.
Do the songs stand the test of time? His voice is rich and songs like Life on Mars, Rebel Rebel and Changes sound as incredible now as they did thirty years ago.
The mixing & sound quality of the live performance is well done, enhancing Bowie’s vocals while minimizing the crowd noise allowing the songs to shine through.
All that this remastered edition is missing is some live DVD footage. It would have been fabulous to see some archival footage from the 70’s showing off Bowie’s visionary style.
David Bowie 2004
And alas, listening to his smooth crooning on a live recording only makes the Bowie fan sorely miss seeing his live performances with diminished hope that Bowie will ever tour again, or do more than a handful of shows in select cities.
David Bowie has confirmed that he is at work on a new book. Word of the book recently leaked and the 63-year-old has since confirmed some details through his official website.
“We still don’t want to give too much away just yet, suffice to say that David Bowie has been working on a book entitled Bowie: Object,” was the official statement on Bowie’s site.
The statement continued on to say the book “is a collection of pieces from the Bowie archive, wherein, for the first time, fans and all those interested in popular culture will have the opportunity to understand more about the Bowie creative process and his impact on modern popular music.”
The publication will be available in several different colors, making the book a striking object in itself. A release date is yet to be confirmed but Bowie fans will surely be looking forward to any works the artist is planning to release in the near future!
Iron Man 2 Now Available on DVD & Blu-Ray
Posted in DVD/Blu-Ray Review, On The Red Carpet, Photography on September 28, 2010
Paramount Pictures & Marvel Entertainment’s Iron Man 2 starring Robert Downey Jr is out on DVD and Blu-Ray today! Look for an alternate beginning to the film and nearly three hours of bonus features.

Follow up to Marvel’s 2008 smash hit Iron Man, the sequel also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson , Don Cheadle and Sam Rockwell. The sequel wasn’t quite as great as the first film, feeling a bit choppy in places but there’s no denying that Robert Downey Jr put on a stellar performance with his usual sarcastic wit & charm. Mickey Rourke’s brief appearance as Whiplash was strong.
Iron Man 2 picks up six months after the end of the first movie, where Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) has used his Iron Man armor to bring about a negotiated peace treaty between the major super powers of the world, and his immense popularity with the general public is only furthered when he fulfills his father’s dream by opening the “Stark Expo”, to showcase all the latest inventions that will benefit the world. Stark is, however, still vilified by the United States government, and Senator Stern (Gary Shandling) in particular, who demands that he hand his armor technology over for military application. Stark refuses, publicly shaming rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) in the process by highlighting his own failed attempts at recreating the technology. All is not well in Stark’s life, however: he has discovered that the palladium in the arc reactor keeping shrapnel from penetrating his heart has begun to poison his body, slowly killing him, and all attempts to find a substitute element have failed. Slowly going off the rails as a consequence of what he believes to be his impending death, he appoints his former personal assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) CEO of Stark Industries, replacing her with Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson).
Robert Downey Jr premieres Iron Man 2 in Hollywood
We’ll next see Iron Man and Scarlett Johansson’s character, Natasha Romanoff (the Black Widow) in the upcoming Joss Whedon directed Marvel mastermind, the Avengers due out in 2012.

Patricia Glassop, mother of late INXS singer Michael Hutchence dies
by Cindy Robinson
Patricia Glassop, the mother of late INXS singer Michael Hutchence has died at the age of 84 in her Queensland, Australia home.
Patricia Glassop
“She looked beautiful, and I was happy to have been there for her,” Hutchence’s brother posted online yesterday morning. “Thank you for all your kind words and wishes. Sincerely, Rhett Hutchence.”
The Hutchence family has long been in turmoil since Michael Hutchence died in November of 1997 with ongoing court battles over his estate, and his only child, daughter Tiger Lily who now resides with Bob Geldof.
Mrs Glassop’s death comes as a another legal battle looms over the rights to the image and songs of Michael Hutchence – a legal battle that names the five surviving INXS band members against a trust company called Chardonnay Investments.
The company has not revealed who is behind the trust but reports suggest that Tiger Lily is the beneficiary.
Chardonnay is suing the band members, their manager, a US lawyer as well as a number of INXS-related companies.
