‘The Help’ Notches Three Acting Wins at SAG Awards

Brace yourselves, folks. We may be headed to a mind-numbingly predictable awards season capper when the Academy Awards rolls into town next month.
As far as tonight’s SAG Awards are concerned, it can be summed up in one sentence: Everybody you thought would win, won. From Christopher Plummer and Octavia Spencer firmly in control of the supporting actor categories to Jean Dujardin and Viola Davis leading the way in the best actor and actress categories. And while The Help claimed the best ensemble prize, rest assured that if there was a best picture award, The Artist would most likely walk away with the award, much like it did Saturday night at the Director’s Guild Awards.

Health Benefits of Your Apartment Washer & Dryer

jodimott — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:35:30 +0000

Everyone has some sort of method to conquer the season’s cold/flu. Some rely on Vitamin C and old-fashioned remedies. Others, get the more alternative flu shot. What residents of South Wind Apartments can now utilize is the brand-new laundry facility to eliminate the onset of some of these cold/flu symptoms.

Believe it or not, but one of those classic tactics to ridding your household of germs and other harmful things is with the use of a washer & dryer. Simply washing bed linens in hot water once a week can eliminate some of the germ carrying bacteria and dust mites that build up on our bedding, leading to sickness. Loads should be done in hot-hot water (at least 120 degrees) to achieve your weekly cleanse.

If you’re a pet owner, you may want to wash them up to two or three times a week. We all know that pets can track in dirt and pet dander and if they down in your bed at night!

– ehow.com

Fortunately, South Wind Apartments come with washer and dryer connections so having machines in your apartment is easy, making your extra laundry even easier! If you’re interested in having a washer and dryer in your apartment, talk to someone on the apartment community management team for assistance.

Don’t Forget: We also have our new on-site laundry facility that is open to residents for use! Bring your own detergent/powder and your washer card to be able to do your loads in the community!

Review from RottenTomatoes.com

Movie: Arthur Christmas

Plot Summary: The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas, an Aardman production for Sony Pictures Animation, at last reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child’s question: ‘So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?’ The answer: Santa’s exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic – a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns. — (C) Sony Pictures

Rating: PG

Critics Score: 92

Audiences Score: 82

Reviews: Aardman Animations broadens their humor a bit for Arthur Christmas, a clever and earnest holiday film with surprising emotional strength.

One of our memories during the Holiday, is sitting in front of an open fire and sipping on hot tea with the family. Though we may not get to do much of that in our apartment space, “World Cup of Tea” in Franklin TN is a close satisfaction to enjoying warm tea in a relaxing environment.

When's The Last Time You Had a Tea Party?

World Cup of Tea provides a cultural invitation to Franklin through all things tea. There’s so much captured in each cup, and owner Rosemary Staggs wants all around town to share that notion. A tea house isn’t something you see in every community, so you can expect World Cup of Tea, to be very personal and quality service to visitors.

Check them out for yourself during their Holiday Tea Luncheon–running throughout the month of December! During the Luncheon, you and your family/friends can enjoy a menu of:

Sparkling Drink

Amuse Bouche

Appetizer Bread

Choice of: Aunt Cecil’s Chicken Salad Sandwich, Hot Roast Beef Sandwich, Spinach Sandwich

Your choice of dessert

Choice of two teas, hot or cold

Aside from the holiday luncheon you can also enjoy boxed lunches, as well as ongoing dessert teas, where you can an afternoon of “tea and crumpets”…

Whenever you go, be sure to RSVP or make a reservation, 224-9778 or visit them at 9200 Carothers Pkwy here in Franklin. They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10AM-5PM!
