His hit song "Ice Ice Baby" put him at the top of the charts, but he soon faltered. He was accused of being a fraud because of false statements about his past, and he was forced to share royalties with a rapper who claimed he co-wrote "Ice Ice Baby."
In a fragile state, Vanilla Ice wrote a suicide note and ingested massive amounts of drugs and alcohol. He survived, and went on to find more success in a second career as a reality show star.

Jenson Button has warned that entering Formula One too early can "kill a career" for a young driver.
Just days after Toro Rosso announced that 19-year-old Russian driver Daniil Kvyat would replace Daniel Ricciardo next season, Button has spoken of his own start in Formula One.
The McLaren driver was a mere 20-year-old when he entered Formula One with Williams and looking back admits that if he could have waited a year or two he would have.
"For me when I arrived in 2000, I was nowhere near ready for Formula 1. I had to take the opportunity - I had to - because you never know if it'll come again," Button said.
"So you're in a very difficult position when you're that young because you're told you have to take it - and you have to.
"But if I had the option to race for two more years and know I would get into a Formula 1 car after that, I would have taken that option."
And although the Brit went onto win the 2009 Drivers' Championship title with Brawn GP, he says he almost was not around long enough to do so.
"It almost destroyed my career to go so early into Formula 1. As soon as I had a car that wasn't competitive, I found it very difficult to set it up.
"For the young kids that are coming in, it's tough because we have such a big regulation change in 2014: you've got to really understand the KERS system and the power torque of the engine is very different.
"You've got to do so much work out of the car before you get in; it's not like every other formula. Every other formula doesn't have drive-by-wire and all of that, so it's a very different way of racing.
"You've got several hundred people that depend on you and listen to you and your comments about the car to develop it.
"In a small F3 team, you've got eight guys or ten guys that might tweak it here and there, but it's very, very different."
Kvyat, though, won't be the only teenager entering F1 next season as Sauber are set to race 18-year-old Sergio Sirokin.
"The best thing for a young driver, I personally feel, is to have a good career in lower formulae and spend time at a Formula 1 team, experiencing what a driver will go through on a race weekend - because he's going to get a massive shock when he goes to Melbourne," Button added.
"He might be great and none of us will be talking about this again. And hopefully he will, for his sake.
"But it can also kill a career."

Handball is a fascinating game played throughout five continents by over 180 countries and 19 million people all ages, globe-wide. Its most popular indoor version has been part of the Summer Olympics program since 1972 with numerous highly contested national, continental, inter-continental and world events including Olympic Games and World Championships.
Beach Handball is a relatively new "kid on the block" as the game and its first official rules were officially recognized by the IHF in 1994. However, the sport has been growing exponentially ever since. It will be featured during 2013 World Games and has chances to debut, as a separate event, in the 2020 or 2024 Olympic Games. The IHF and other continental federations are actively promoting both, the grass-roots program and international competitions, at all levels with some players specializing in beach handball, while others crossing-over from/to indoor game.
Mini Handball is a unique version of the game for young kids and youth in which they learn by playing, enjoy time together, engage in healthy fitness activities, establish some basic technical and tactical competencies in low-competitive environment. It is more than a miniature version of the adult game. It is a true sport philosophy and a great gateway for all children to become and stay physically active, practice teamwork, make friends, acquire multi-level transferable skills, and have tons of fun!
Street Handball is the newest addition to handball offerings. It was introduced in 1997 in Denmark. It was invented and promoted by famous players and coaches like, Lasse Boesen, Ole B. Andersen, and Torben Sorensen. This game takes to the streets and parks, drops all barriers, and allows participants of all ages and ability levels to enjoy handball in its purest, back-yard fashion with minimal rules and equipment requirements.
There is also another derivate of street handball called "one-goal handball" that uses similar rules but is played using a single goal where players switch after scoring a goal or making a turnover. It is one of the EHF's alternative handball games that promotes mass, inexpensive participation, and enjoyment of the sport for all and almost everywhere:

How The Media Portrays Catholicism - What a Bunch O' Loons...
How many stories about the Catholic Church are there today? They could have covered the religious freedom issues, the Legion/Regnum Christi issues, etc.
Instead the cover Katie Holmes and this:
BTW - I am NOT saying that Mary appearing in a tree is impossible. I am saying it is highly unlikely. If you want to know more about Marian apparition - here are 10 things you ought to know.
5 comments:
- True Texan said...
Sadly, the role of the media has become not one of informing public opinion, but of shaping it. Since the recent stand taken by our bishops against the inroads on religious freedom by our current administration, I have noticed the media taking a much more negative slant against the Church. The tactic being used here is to belittle and dismiss by ridicule, which is much easier than actually dealing with the issues.
As a Catholic from the pews, I feel a strong appreciation at our bishops' stand against infringement freedom and Pope Benedict's insistence on orthodoxy. The reason I became Catholic is because the church doesn't change with the times, it allows the times to change and remains the same.
This too shall pass. The Church has always been persecuted and always will be. Christ promised us that. How we respond from age to age indicates our willingness to carry the cross of our Lord.
- Jason said...
Mary actually appears in places like Fatima and Lourdes and people just yawn; but someone can see her in tree bark or peanut butter? Whoa, stop the presses!!!
Beyond frustrating. But we encourage it when Catholics show up to this nonsense.
- Cindy Willmot said...
Yes, the media does want the world to think that Catholics are a bunch of loons and Satan intentionally attacks our Blessed Mother because this is the only way he can win. However, the sad part is the faithful. They are suffering such an incredibly loss of faith in the United States that they are grasping at all kinds of straws. What is needed is a priest or bishop to start telling them who Our Blessed Mother really is and why she is not visiting us in this tree....Immaculate Heart of Mary, ora pro nobis!
- Gina said...
Yes, we Catholics *are* crazy, if we are true to our faith. There is so much more to the Catholic Faith than Madonnas on trees, but the fact that these people, evidently mostly Spanish speakers, have such childlike faith and devotion actually speaks very well of them. I am sure their love and prayers to His Mother are more pleasing to Christ than our supercilious judgement of their belief. God bless them. May we grow in our Faith until we are as ignorant and loving as these people.
- Brian Gill said...
I agree with True Texan: This looks like a none-too-subtle case of ridicule. I don't know if it's intentional or not: American culture has a deep and strong tradition of anti-Catholicism.
I've posted about media bias and assumptions fairly often, including:
"'Nazi Pope,' Urban Legends, Academic Standards, and the News"
(April 17, 2012)
"Fulton Sheen, Bias, and the Catholic Church"
(March 28, 2012)

Copenhagen is rich in history. The Danish capital was officially founded in 1167 by Bishop Absalon, but research suggest that the location was inhabited already in the late Viking age. Copenhagen was a busy and strategically important merchant city throughout the medieval period where it controlled much of the lucrative trade and traffic to and from the Baltic Sea.

Excavations in and around Ribe have recovered numerous unique archaeological remnants from this period.

The Vikings were more than simply a raiding and pillaging people. They had highly developed social, religious and commercial structures and were just as adept at farming as raiding. Through on-going archaeological research, we're uncovering more and more about the lives behind the myths. Re-discovered jewellery, handicrafts, weapons, clothes and long-ships all help fill the gaps in our knowledge of the Norsemen. Here's a guide to experiences in Denmark where you can learn more about the Viking people and their ways.

When you consider the time and place in which my mother grew up, the home in which she was raised, and the influence of Aunt Alice who principally raised her, it is perhaps easy to understand that my mother may have been like many of her generation, who attach less importance to objects than many people do in this day and age. When the children were given gifts which they might have kept as keepsakes, such as the rosary beads Laurence Kettle brought for them from Rome, my mother's grand-aunt Alice would not allow the children to keep them. Sometimes Alice would give away such items to other people, whom she felt would truly value such gifts or make better use of them; other times, these things simply vanished.
There were some items my mother seemed to treasure, prayer books, rosary beads, and the like. Occasionally Mom would tell me stories which involved special gifts she had received when she was a young woman, and I would ask her if she still had any of them. There were a couple she had kept, but the rest were long gone. At times it appeared as though she did not lament their loss, something which seemed odd to me, given that I viewed keepsakes as treasures because of the memories they hold.
I believed I understood the way in which my mother viewed keepsakes, and then there was a day last summer, a few weeks after my mom died, when we were cleaning out her home. We found things which undid any assumptions I may have held about what Mom kept and what she threw away.
On a warm Thursday morning, I use a small kitchen ladder to reach to the top of the cupboard, to draw down the old box. I unlace the worn white ribbon which holds the box together, and lift the lid. As I draw back the layers of tissue paper, the sight of a small white dress within the folds of the paper catches me completely off guard. It literally takes my breath away, and I begin to cry. It is the dress I wore for my first holy communion.
A little further down inside that old square box, I draw out another piece enveloped in still more layers of delicate paper. It is the silken under-dress of the little outfit. Time has yellowed it, but the lace which edges the hem is still intact, and all of it remains so soft and lovely. Further, I uncover the sheer long chiffon sleeves which buttoned unto the short sleeves of the dress, so that my arms would be covered during the ceremony. The last piece cocooned inside the paper is the veil.
As I unwrap each piece I lay them one beside the other across my mother's bed. The silver embroidery on the bodice of the dress sparkles in the morning light, as does the silver thread which subtly adorns the chiffon skirt. Each part is deeply wrinkled from years of living inside that box.
Memories come rushing forward so fast as to knock me off my feet, and suddenly I am that little seven year old girl again, marching in procession up the aisle with my mother and my father on either side of me, sitting in the church and noticing how very tall the priest and the altar servers seem to be. Outside of the church after the ceremony an elderly nun leans down to congratulate me. Her old fashioned wimple seems to square her face like a picture frame. I remember proudly showing her the gold and silver communion medal, sent to me from Ireland by my Uncle Gerard.
As I sit there on my mother's bed, I ask myself why it is that the presence of this little white dress wounds me so deeply? What is it that I have invested in the memories lying here before me? Am I hurt to know that Mom kept the dress hidden from me, or more likely am I weeping because it seems as though my mother treasured something that I once treasured too?
As I was thinking all of these thoughts, it occurred to me that a part of the outfit was missing, the little tiara wrapped in tiny white flowers which held the veil in place. Then, I remembered that I had been allowed to adorn the head of one of my dress up dolls with it, and now it is long gone. Suddenly it occurs to me that my mother did not hide the communion dress from me; she preserved it for me.
This little white dress is something which deeply connects me to my mother. I believe my mom knew I would be the one to find that silver and white hatbox. Now she is gone, so I cannot tell Mom how much it means to me to know she did not give it away, and how very grateful I am that she kept it for me. Still, I feel certain that somehow she knows.
|On the day of my first communion, in
the treasured dress, on the steps
of the church.

My tongue is dragging the floor over your teacups pairing! Speaking of watercolor, after completing day 2 of my all-day05days-in-a-row watercolor workshop, I have decided I lack the stamina to be a true watercolorist. Have to get up very early, no time for my walk or yoga, work all day, whew! I don't know how you do it!ReplyDelete

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

We know any changes to SOFA won't pass in Parliament. We also know that
the idea is to have at a min 10k troops remain behind under some sort of
protection plan for foreigners. There is also a mechanism that is under
discussion that doesn't require parliamentary approval. What would that
entail? Can such a move be challenged legally? Of course there is always
the protests and attacks route to oppose it. Several months ago Mullen
said that the Iraqis had weeks to decide whether they wanted U.S. forces
to stay behind. But what is the absolute latest date by which there has to
be a decision?

Baghdad resolvable in the near future, or will the United States be

immediate rise in Iranian regional influence? What levers does Iran have

Iraq's self-imposed deadline passes without decision on U.S. troops
Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi political leaders were unable to meet a
self-imposed deadline this weekend to decide whether to request U.S.
troops stay beyond a planned end-of-the-year withdrawal, lawmakers told
The deadline imposed by President Jalal Talabani passed over the weekend
with lawmakers divided over how or even whether to request an extension,
raising questions about when Iraq may ask and whether it will be too
late to turn around withdrawing troops.
"The country is almost paralyzed because of this decision whether Iraq
will decide to keep some American troops after 2011 or not," said
Kurdish lawmaker Mahmoud Othman, a close political ally of Talabani.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said months ago that the White House would
need to know Iraq's decision by August.
Talabani's office declined a CNN request for comment. Al-Maliki's office
referred questions to Talabani.
During the meeting at Talabani's Baghdad office, the representatives
said they needed more time to consult party members, Othman said. He was
briefed on the outcome of the meeting by his party, the Kurdish bloc.
But an official in the office of Sunni Vice President Taha al-Hashami
told CNN political leaders decided to postpone the meeting "until
further notice" because there are still disagreements over a possible
request to extend the stay of U.S. troops.
The disagreement extends beyond the closed door meeting.
Shiite lawmaker Hassan al-Sineid told Iraqiya state TV Sunday that U.S.
troops should leave as planned.
"Let me tell you something, whether the Iraqi army is able or unable to
protect Iraq's borders from external aggression, we shouldn't agree to
keep some American troops after 2011," said al-Sineid, a member of
al-Maliki's political party.
Radical anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose Sadrist political
party is closely aligned with al-Maliki, has vowed to escalate armed
resistance if the U.S. military does not leave as scheduled, a move that
could destabilize the country should the Mehdi Army repeat the bloody
battles it waged against American and Iraqi forces during the height of
The Kurdish party, which represents Iraq's Kurdish territory, is pushing
to keep U.S. troops, saying it wants some American troops to stay "for
the benefit of the two countries."
On the streets of Baghdad, Iraqis appeared as divided as their political
"I don't want to see American troops after 2011," said 33-year-old
Qassim al-Shammari, a businessman.
He challenged Iraqi lawmakers to broadcast a meeting and make public
their decision.
But Habeeb Forqan, a 25-year-old government employee, said he wanted
U.S. troops to stay for another few years "until the Iraqi army is ready
to protect the country."
"Every few weeks the Iraqi politicians give a new deadline to make a
decision. It is a joke," he said.
"This issue affects our lives, it affects our future. They should decide
The failed weekend meeting comes nearly two weeks after newly appointed
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta urged Iraq's government to make a
decision during a trip to Baghdad.
A U.S.-Iraqi security pact signed in 2008 requires U.S. troops to leave
the country by the end of the year.
While the U.S. military says it is not aware of any deadline imposed by
either the Iraq or U.S. governments, it has pushed the Iraqis for a
"We have consistently said it becomes less feasible to support a new
request once we begin reposturing our troops and as we continue
transitioning bases and redeploying our equipment," Army Maj. Gen.
Jeffrey Buchanan, the top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, told CNN in
an e-mail interview Sunday.
The decision about whether to grant any request to extend the stay of
U.S. troops in Iraq beyond Jan. 1, 2012, will be made by President
Barack Obama.
The debate comes amid an increase in attacks against the roughly 46,000
American troops still in Iraq.
Fourteen U.S. soldiers were killed in combat-related incidents in June,
the largest loss of life among American troops since 2008, according to
CNN figures.
There also has been a spike in the number of attacks against civilians
and Iraqi security forces, with more than 270 people killed in June,
authorities said.
The U.S. military has said the Shiite-militias -- Kataib Hezbollah,
Asaib al Haq, and the Promise Day Brigade -- are using the bombings to
try to take credit for driving American forces out of the country.

Music Department Plans Two Holiday Season Concerts
Collegium Musicum to Perform Dec. 5 and Annual Winter Holiday Concert Slated for Dec. 8
November 25, 2013
Members of the College-Community Chorus are featured at WC's Spring Concert.
Wilmington College's Collegium Musicum, Wilmington College Chorale and College-Community Chorus will perform in concert during the final week of the semester.
Collegium Musicum, an early music performance ensemble, will present its semiannual, noon hour mini-concert Dec. 5, at 11:30 a.m., in Harcum Art Gallery, while the Chorale and College-Community Chorus will be featured at the annual Winter Holiday Concert Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m., in Hugh G. Heiland Theatre.
Both concerts are free of charge.
The Collegium, under the direction of Elizabeth Haskins, will present a program titled "Celebrate with Song and Dance" that includes instrumental arrangements of 16th century Italian and French dances, a Dutch song, a piece by Henry VIII of England and Christmas carols from Germany and Austria.
Since the Thursday concert benefits the Clinton County Homeless Shelter, audience members are encouraged to bring donations of canned goods, cleaning supplies, paper products and baby care items. A light lunch will be available.
The Sunday Winter Holiday Concert will open with music by the College-Community Chorus, which Haskins also conducts.
Its program, "A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten," will honor the late English composer in the year of his 100th birthday anniversary. The work, published in 1943, is an engaging setting of Medieval English and Latin carol texts originally written for treble voices and harp.
The chorus will sing an arrangement for mixed chorus, soloists and harp. Harpist Genie Ghiergartner not only acts as an accompanist for the ensemble and soloists but also plays a solo harp interlude within the larger work.
The Wilmington College Chorale, directed by Tim Carpenter, will present a set of pieces looking at the holiday season from different perspectives, including sacred selections from both Christian and Jewish traditions, and secular pieces of winter and the holiday season.
Selections will include the new motet, "O Magnum Mysterium," by Swedish composer Ivo Antongnini, in addition to Alfred Burt's timeless "Some Children See Him" and a new choral setting of "Jingle Bells" based on Barbra Streisand's version of that tune.
Rachel Kramer will provide piano accompaniment.

Central falls short in ACAC semi-finals
Adams Central got off to a slow start and then came on with a major surge in the ACAC semifinals on Thursday. But the Jets couldn't overcome the deficit they had fallen into as the local squad succumbed to Woodlan, 15-25, 25-23 and 23-25.
"We would get down a little, then we had to keep fighting back to get into the game," said Adams Central head coach Ashley Beard. "Ultimately, we didn't quite overtake Woodlan. I am proud of the way the girls worked hard to fight back."
One of the Jets' biggest woes all night was the killer instinct of Woodlan sophomore Tori Bontrager, who was relentless in getting to the ball and pounding it into the AC defense.
"She's got a good line ...

- A real miracle product! Review by ar, Richmond, VA
Price Value Quality
This is the product i've been searching for since i was 12 years old! Two different dermatologists have told me there was "nothing to do" for my bumpy arms. I've been uncomfortable wearing sleeveless shirts and dresses for years- Finally I decided to do my own research, and came across the dermadoctor website. The KP Duty product smoothed my skin within 24 HOURS! This is not an exaggeration-- It must be used EVERY DAY though, so some commitment must be made because it is not a cheap product. For me though, it is well worth it!! All the females in my family have this skin problem- and now we all use KP Duty!
- An excellent product Review by T.S. , Michigan
Price Value Quality
I've been using KP Duty for three weeks now and I love it. My skin has never felt so smooth. The bumpy texture on my thighs is smoothing out and my little brown bumps are disappearing. It absorbs without leaving a strong smell, greasy feel or appearance. No other product I've used can compare to KP Duty. This one actually works! Keep up the great work Dr. Kunin!
- Miracle in a Tube Review by N.M.L, Ozark, Al
Price Value Quality
I bought KP Duty about a year ago and used it twice a day everyday. by the time the tube was empty my KP on my arms were completely gone. after i completely used every last bit of lotion that there was my kp stayed gone for a couple months. it just started coming back last christmas and i ordered more a couple days ago and got it in the mail yesterday. after just using 2 times yesterday i woke up this morning and i could tell that my skin was already getting better. i will never be with out this product again.
- It is all good Review by AK, MI
Price Value Quality
I thought this product was pretty good. Probably the best that I have used yet. I dont think it works as much of a miracle as others may claim, but it does the job pretty good.
- nice texture Review by Los Angeles, CA USA
Price Value Quality
I really liked the texture of this lotion. Within the first few weeks i noticed my skin getting DRAMATICALLY smoother...however, the redness was still there. I combined the usage of Glytone's Keratosis Pilaris Kit body wash...and used this lotion immediately after my shower or bath and after 3 days, most of the red bumps cleared and my skin was super soft too! i've already purchased 6 bottles of this lotion and will continue to buy more. The only bad thing i have to say is that it's quite pricey..for such a little bit. i go through about 1 bottle every 2-3weeks
- Have Faith! Review by AT, Sand Diego, CA
Price Value Quality
I ordered 3 tubes of the KP Duty after reading the reviews on this site. That was over $100 so I was worried about it not working. After 3 weeks I hadnt seen a great improvment so I was a bit discouraged but its now been 2 momths applying in AM & PM and KP duty has worked wonders! Redness and bumps are all but gone. Nothing I have ever used has worked this well! I even sent my brother one of my tubes and he loves it too! KP may not work fast for everyone but keep the faith--the eventual results will be worth it.
- KP duty is pretty good Review by eas, rahway, nj
Price Value Quality
The whole family enjoys this product. It does a great job on unsightly KP. I am starting to really like Dermadoctor products.
- Immediate Results Review by TM, Phoenix, AZ
Price Value Quality
The little bumps on the back of my arms disappeared in a matter of days, and my legs are wonderfully smooth! Best of all, it doesn't have the offensive smell like other AHA lotions I've used in the past. It would be nice if it was offered in a larger size?
- Wonderful, but too expensive Review by SVH, Atlanta, GA USA
Price Value Quality
This is a wonderful, light lotion and is the only treatment that has improved my KP, but $36 for a 4 oz tube is far more than I can afford to pay. I would buy this stuff in bulk if it were 1/3 the price!
- One of a Kind Review by A.R., Corona, NY
Price Value Quality
Hi, I just purchased this product about two weeks ago, and I see a significant difference from before and after I used the cream. I have gone to a number of dermatology doctors since the of 15 and they have all given me the same nasty cream to use on my arms, sticky with a strong smell. In the summer I couldn't wear tank tops without someone asking me if I had a rash on my arms. I saw your ad in shape magazine and wanted to try the cream after two weeks, My arms are no longer red. My skin has cleared up almost completely. I strongly recommend this cream if you have "chicken skin" it's non sticky and it doesn't smell... Thank you dermadoctor for this "miracle" product!!!!!!!

Explosive drama occurs on the group's trip to historic London. From Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London, Emily and Sean share the romance of the city and Shakespearian theatre will never be the same once eight men on a group date invade the Bard's birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, to perform classic scenes from Romeo and Juliet. However, the after party of the group date turns
from going to a pub for a brew into a brawl when Emily discovers that one of the men has made a disrespectful comment about her daughter, Ricki. Not only does Emily confront the offender, but she finds none of the other men support her and ends up making some stunning decisions. Next, Jef and Emily have a proper English tea, but decide to ditch their stern etiquette teacher and escape to a
local pub. Trying to put the drama about her daughter aside, she takes Jef to one of the most romantic spots in the city - the London Eye, a gigantic Ferris wheel on the banks of the Thames River.

Buy Smart Guide: Fuel-Saving Cars
Their fuel-saving secrets: Hybrids (Toyota Prius Hybrid, Lexus CT 200h Hybrid, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid) use both gas engines and electric motors. Small gas-fueled cars (Hyundai Elantra) rely on light weight plus aerodynamic designs and efficient engines. Energy-dense diesel fuel (Volkswagen Jetta TDI) boosts mpg.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
1. High-Mpg Pick
2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid
$24,280 base
$29,131 as tested
Gas Savings:*
$1,452 per year
MPG (city/highway/combined):
51/48/50 mpg
Driver Controls:
User-friendly, accurate voice recognition. Feedback from steering-wheel controls helpfully appears on dashboard.
Interior Comfort:
Not that roomy. Installing a car seat took some effort. Its trunk is adequate, made larger by a folding rear seat.
Eco Displays:
A braking/acceleration graphic helps tame bad habits. Display located on center console takes getting used to.
Safety Notes:
Aerodynamic body shape inhibits visibility through rear windows; an optional backup camera can help.
Bottom Line (Why we love it):
Good performance with optimal gas mileage (bettered only by an electric model; see slide #8) for city driving in particular. Also great for road warriors, to reduce trips to the pump.
* Based on gas costs at press time and compared with average 22.5 mpg for a 2010 vehicle

RICHARD ROEPER: Winner: Romney -- He took control of the debate in the first 10 minutes and seemed to gain confidence as the night went on, while the president came across as dour and disengaged.
Article Extras
Updated: October 3, 2012 11:26PM
Winner: Romney
He took control of the debate in the first 10 minutes and seemed to gain confidence as the night went on, while the president came across as dour and disengaged.
Biggest flub of the night: Why, oh why, did President Obama bring up Donald Trump, he of the buffoonish conspiracy theories about the president's birthplace? Obama's attempt at a humorous reference to the Donald only served to remind us the president pays far too much attention to what people say about him. Why give the guy the time of day?
The knock-out punch: I thought Romney was the clear winner by a decision, but neither candidate scored the proverbial knock-out punch. The only participant who took multiple standing eight-counts was esteemed moderator Jim Lehrer, who failed to set the tone early by holding the candidates to their allotted time. Time and again, Lehrer allowed Romney and Obama to steamroll him.
Which candidate looked like he would rather be anywhere else: The president. Romney seemed more energized, focused and on point. Obama was surprisingly flat, even when telling overly familiar anecdotes about his grandmother.
Winner: Obama
More specific. Romney recycled sound bites from his stump speeches.
Best example: Obama cites the Cleveland Clinic.
Best zinger: "If you're 54 or 55, you might want to listen."
Worst flub of the night: Obama saying he and Romney basically have the same position on Social Security.
The words I got sick of hearing: Romney's memorized lists: "No. 1…No. 2 … No. 5 … zzzz."
The cringe moment: Romney: "Higher-income folks are doing just fine in this economy."
The most ridiculous non-answer: Romney on Medicare. Sidsteps Paul Ryan's beliefs that in theory he believes in
Winner: Romney
He provided crisp, focused answers and was aggressive but respectful to the president. Romney achieved his debate goal of spotlighting where Obama misrepresented his policy positions.
Best new look at an old issue: In talking about tax benefits to the oil and gas industries, Romney noted that Obama has given in one year what oil and gas would get over 50 years at the current rate. Romney referred to the failure of the solar company Solyndra and quipped: "You don't just pick the winners and losers, you pick the losers."
Which candidate looked the most presidential: Both looked presidential, which means Romney elevated his status with this debate. Obama wasn't helped at times by looking impatient at some of Romney's answers.
Close to a cringe moment: Obama tended to filibuster at times, going over the two-minute limit for opening comments. "I had five seconds left before you interrupted me," Obama chastised moderator Jim Lehrer at one point.
Winner: Romney
Romney kept jabbing away and was able to put President Obama on the defensive on health care and tax breaks.
The shining moment: Romney's high-wage earners will do fine whether you are president or I am president. Romney was able to set an aggressive tone early on and kept at it.
Worst flub of the night: Obama's: "I had five seconds before you interrupted" in response to Jim Lehrer's attempt to cut him off. Never a good idea to cut off the moderator.
The phrase I got sick of hearing: Bill Clinton did blah blah blah. Even Romney evoked the name of the former president to push his Medicare plan.
The cringe moment: Every time Obama flashed a grin or said "right," or shook his head in agreement when Romney was talking. What kind of debate strategy is that? Oh wait, Obama pulling on his nostril — on TV. It's a nervous habit that I thought he had gotten over by now.
The most ridiculous non-answer: Romney's "I like Big Bird. I like you, too." Really?

Obagi At-A-Glance
Strengths:Selection of good water-soluble cleansers; some effective skin-lightening and tretinoin products.
Weaknesses: Expensive; some products available only via prescription, which can be inconvenient; disappointing anti-acne products; moisturizers should contain more state-of-the-art ingredients.
Dermatologist Zein E. Obagi is behind this line, which claims to be your skin's key to transformation. Choosing to focus on the skin issues that plague many aging adults (chiefly, skin discolorations from sun damage and other sources and wrinkles), Obagi offers a mixed bag of cosmetic and prescription products sold only through authorized physicians, plastic surgeons, and accredited medical spas. That exclusivity may increase this line's cache with consumers, but let me assure you that most of what's offered isn't all that exceptional—and what's available by prescription can be prescribed in other forms by any dermatologist, so you don't need to seek one that retails Obagi's products. The highlights of this line are actually the prescription products. Several options with 4% hydroquinone are available as well as two products with tretinoin. There is a significant amount of research demonstrating that 4% hydroquinone, especially when combined with tretinoin, has a high success rate for persons dealing with stubborn skin discolorations or the skin condition melasma (Sources: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2007, pages 36–39; Cutis, January 2005, pages 57–62, and March 2006, pages 177–184).
The skin-care products Obagi sells to support the prescription-only options are either standard or below-average formulas that are easily replaced by less expensive options from other lines. Beware: This is a line whose proponents are adamant about the products being used as a system, so expect pressure to purchase an entire routine rather than cherry-pick what you really need. Savvy shoppers will find some viable options from Obagi, including a very gentle, fragrance-free sunscreen for someone with sensitive skin.
One more point: Obagi is also "known" for his Blue Peel. This is a standard trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel that has been performed by dermatologists and plastic surgeons for years; Obagi simply instructs the practitioner to mix the TCA with a blue-tinted base. TCA is used for peeling the face, neck, hands, and other exposed areas of the body. It causes fewer pigmentation problems than other doctor-only peels such as phenol, and is considered excellent for "spot" peeling specific areas. It also can be used for medium or light peeling, depending on the concentration and method of application. AHA and BHA peels are considered light peels, and are often done in a series of six. TCA peels are best for fine lines and can be somewhat more effective on deeper wrinkling, but they are performed only once every couple of years. Many of the dermatologists we spoke to believe that a TCA peel is a viable option for many skin types, despite consumers' fascination with AHA peels.
For more information about Obagi, call (800) 636-7546 or visit www.obagi.com.

Q:Can you layer this atop the guv'ner deodorant for a more feminine scent AND to lighten the guv'ner's dark tint on pits?Asked on 9/16/2013 by Winnie

A:You are welcome to layer the scents if you like to see if you are happy with the results!Answered on 12/12/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:You can but not to get the feminine scent you may be looking for. I would
try the solid tint bar with a dash of body powder of your choice. I live
in Phoenix and sweat easily and the solid deodorant works wonders without
staining your shirts.
Hope it helps!Answered on 9/16/2013 by Anonymous
