9 Best Blows Landed by Obama in Presidential Debate

It's not often one gets to see President Barack Obama in pugilistic form. However competitive the guy may be -- and, by all accounts, he is quite -- he's not a person who enjoys direct confrontation.
In a face-to-face showdown, Obama's apparent discomfort can induce a level of detachment that seems to border on dissociation, as seen in his first debate face-off with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Denver earlier this month. But in last night's battle between the two presidential contenders at Hofstra University in New York, Obama was fully present, even if his unease occasionally revealed itself, puncturing Romney's armor of jovial smugness through a combination of rehearsed rejoinders, on-the-spot quips and deft deflections of Romney's attacks. And on one subject where Obama was vulnerable -- the administration's response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the president skillfully used a misstatement by Romney to knock the Republican off his game.
Aside from his penchant for, just as pundits are about to write him off, performing well, Obama wasn't faced with the surprise he walked into in Denver, when Romney famously reset his Etch-a-Sketch to dial up an entirely new set of positions, on issues ranging from immigration to taxes from those he had been peddling over the course the campaign, or sought to obscure his right-wing stance on abortion with qualifying language.
With the Democratic base demanding some fight from the president, Obama didn't disappoint. Here are the nine best rhetorical blows he landed on the Republican candidate.
1. Terror in the Rose Garden. It wasn't the first punch Obama threw (we'll get to that), but it's the one you'll be hearing most about today -- the one in which Romney threw down a bad fact and got himself badly snagged on it.
Ever since the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that left the American ambassador and three consulate staff dead, the administration has struggled to communicate with the public just exactly what happened on September 11, 2012, when the consulate came under attack by heavily armed men. But it's a hand that Romney has consistently overplayed, and he did so again at Hofstra.
Republicans sought to politicize the tragedy from the moment it happened: Romney issued a statement on the day of the incident that falsely accused the administration of "sympathiz[ing] with those who waged the attacks," and called a press conference the next day to make the same charge. That played badly for Romney, but by the following weekend, the administration flubbed its own response when U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice sounded a bit too definitive when, while making the rounds of the Sunday morning talk shows, she said the administration, based on its best information, was viewing the attack as a mob response to a crude anti-Islam video posted by an American filmmaker on YouTube. Questions also arose about the level of security at the consulate, renewing Republicans' criticism of the administration.
During a discussion of the Libya attack, Romney said, "There were many days that passed before we knew whether this was a spontaneous demonstration, or actually whether it was a terrorist attack."
Obama begged to differ. From the debate transcript:
The day after the attack, governor, I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people in the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened. That this was an act of terror and I also said that we're going to hunt down those who committed this crime.
And then a few days later, I was there greeting the caskets coming into Andrews Air Force Base and grieving with the families.
And the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the secretary of state, our U.N. Ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we've lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. That's not what we do. That's not what I do as president, that's not what I do as commander in chief.

Of Titans and Titanium [short] Jack and PitchOf Titans and Titanium [short] Jack and PitchFor the lovely Janusbouu, for being my favorite artist And for my wife, whatever you're doing when you read this, you're always in my heart. Always.Of Titans and Titanium [the short story] Jack Frost and Pitch BlackI'll be yoursThere isn't much to their relationship when it first began. It's threatening, if anything else—at least, just in the beginning. There is the occasional glance, but mostly just snide remarks and ignored snarls, seeping hatred, some taunting Nightmares, but then Pitch delves down into his pit and disappeared for days on end. Jack doesn't mind those days of utter silence, they remind him of the days before he was a Guardian—when everything was just fun.Pitch is ever eager to ignore Jack, regardless of how closely they are housed. North warns Jack of this, but the Frost spirit knew Pitch was weak and wouldn't be crawling out of his h
Monsoon [one] Jack Frost and Pitch BlackMonsoon [one]The KissJack stared out at the barren wasteland of snow and ice and winter's coldness. His heart ached and felt so much more numbness than it had despite the snow. He thought of the friends he could have had, the time they could have shared together; him, Tooth, North, Bunnymund; the Yeti's, the Elves, even if he'd chosen differently, Pitch, perhaps.He laughed inwardly at the thought. Chosen differently? The grey skinned man smiling down at him from his dungeon of darkness, full of shadows and Nightmares, where Jack would undoubtedly stay, since the children would fear him, and the Guardian would hate him. He thought of the way the elegant man moved, his shadow carrying him across rooms and worlds like the wind carried Jack. He thought of Pitch's eyes, the golden-grey of haunted hatred.Jack frowned. He wondered what it would have been like to be feared. The children would hate him, he thought again. Of course they would. His frown deepe
Monsoon [epilogue] Jack Frost and Pitch BlackMonsoon [epilogue]Freedom"Has anyone seen Jack lately?" Bunnymund asked from behind his hand of cards. He smirked up at his opponent, who sneered back deviously. The Easter Bunny throws down a royal flush, a cocky smile puffing up his bunny cheeks. Sandy gapes at the hand and slammed his head against the table in defeat. He throws his cards in the air and saunters off to pout by himself.Bunnymund sputtered. "Awh come on, Sandy! Don't be such a spoil-sport!" The Pooka calls after Sanderson, laughing despite his friend's poor attitude.Sandy waves his hand behind him, disregarding the rabbit's taunts. He always sucked at poker anyways. Bunnymund clicks his tongue at the spirit, turning his attention to North and Tooth who were having an animated, jolly conversation.No one answered his question, so he repeated it again; "Has anyone see Jack lately?"North turns his attention to the six foot creature and thinks for a m
Monsoon [four] Jack Frost and Pitch BlackMonsoon [four]PassionThe darkness crawled across them like a blanket; their bare bodies warm, sweating, hard and breathless. The air was thick and musky, heavy with heat and desire.Though through the darkness, ice crept steadily outward from the source, extending and consuming everything in its path in a thick, pure layer of lush, beautiful snow.A disembodies moan echoed from somewhere amidst the shroud of darkness, filling the Nightmare Kingdom with cries of lusty aspirations. Slick, grey skin moved easily over alabaster flesh; lovely red and purple marks marred both men's bodies—some the result of fingertips clutching too hard or too deep, others from teeth just barely managing not to break skin. Lips were tugged, sucked and bitten red until nothing but gasps of need and want could be heard.Pitch remained between Jack's slender thighs, hips rocking against bare, boney protrusions rhythmically—pleasantly. Hissing and moaning bec
Monsoon [two] Jack Frost and Pitch BlackMonsoon [two]Remember"It must be your fear they smell."Pitch took off, skidding and sliding across slippery ice and down muddy banks to get away from the Nightmares. He was frightened, but it was worth it, if only to see Frost once more. He pushed the thought away as the Nightmares caught up to him, dragging him down, down, down. His last happy thought, he didn't want them to take it from him, so maybe if he cast it away now, he could call upon it if he really needed it—if he really needed to feel Jack once more.Jack watched longingly, a piece of his heart falling away into the darkness that Pitch was plunged into, followed closely by the creatures of haunted dreams. He knew Pitch would have to overcome his own fear before he would be seen again. For now, children's dreams were safe and far from the reaches of the Boogeyman.The Guardian's cheered happily—their mission had been a success, they had gotten rid of Pitch Black, for now
Monsoon [three] Jack Frost and Pitch BlackMonsoon [three]DrowningHis lips were fire against Jack's icy nape—a groan escaped the boy's freed lips, giving Pitch enough fire to continue back up to the Winter's jaw. His hands felt like molten lava against Jack's bare stomach, leaving red, hot trails of desire whatever and wherever they felt like conquering.Jack groaned softly as Pitch's tongue slid back against his own—Jack didn't fight; he didn't feel the need to. Pitch grinned against Jack's lips, his hands clutching at the fabric of Jack's tattered sweatshirt as he once more claimed the Winter's lips with bruising force. Pitch's grey skinned arms reached around Jack's waist and clutched him to his chest tightly.Jack wrapped his arms around Pitch's neck, panting softly as he planted one, two, three softer kisses on the older man's lips before pulling away ever so slowly. Pitch almost felt rejected before realizing th
Pitch's return ch.1Chapter 1Jack Frost was walking alone in the woods, or at least that's what he believed. Not to far away Pitch laughed to himself. "So vulnerable. It's as if you want to be captured." Jack continued walking, completely oblivious to his stalker, do to that fact he was exhausted. Suddenly he heard a strange noise behind him. The guardian turned around, only to have a sharp object fly into his right arm."Gaah!" He shouted in surprise, quickly pulling the object out. It was a sharp arrowhead made of black sand. "Pitch," the boy mumbled as his vision blurred. He stumbled and hit the ground, his eyes refusing to stay open. The last thing he saw was Pitch walking towards him, a devious smile on his face.When Jack woke all he could see was darkness. He tried to move, but realized he was trapped in vines of black sand. The guardian tried to break free, but the sand held him fast."Awake so soon?" Jack's eyes finally adjusted to the dark, and he glared at the figure approachi
Let's have fun Pitch : IOh hey there, I bet you folks never thought that fear and fun could get along so well that they could fall in love with each other. Oh come on you know who I'm talking about.The scene within the Boogeyman's underground hideout shows Pitch, the Nightmare King forming black sand sculptures. He motioned his hands slowly in forming each spike, curve and swirl when all of a sudden
"BOO!!" Jack Frost the guardian of Fun popped behind him.Pitch startled to his bones and instantly lost grip of his sculpture formation. The sculpture collapsed onto both Jack and Pitch leaving them buried by heap of black sand."JACK FROST!" Pitch popped up to the surface."Here!" Jack jumped up laughing."How many times must I tell you not to interrupt me when I'm doing something and what're you even doing here?" Pitch babbled while dusting his black robe."But you were doing it so slow, I got bored" said Jack "You were like doing that all day and got me wondering, when was the last time you did something fun
Pitch's return ch.2Chapter 2"Jack? Jack? Wake up Jack." Jack's white eyes opened with a slight surprise. He quickly jumped up from his place on the bed, and wrapped his arms around Pitch's neck. The Boogeyman unprepared for the boy's hug immediately lost his balance and fell off the bed. Seeing Jack still clung to him, Pitch laughed. "I can see you're affectionate.""Yeah." The Nightmare King stood up, but the frost elf refused to let go. Not minding Jack's sentiment, he simply held the guardian as he headed out of the lair. The two headed out into the cold night, where a small army of nightmares awaited for them.Although it pained him to do so, Pitch removed the boy from his person and placed him upon a nightmare. The Boogeyman placed himself behind jack, just in case worse came to worse, he'd easily be able to grab the frost elf's neck and return him to an obedient state. "Jack be prepared to hold on.""Okay." The nightmares took to the sky and they headed towards the nearest neighbo
Pitch's return ch.3Chapter 3Jack struggled to break out, but when one is tossed in a sac there is often much confusion, not to mention the fact he couldn't see anything. Suddenly he hit the ground and before he could even think of escaping, the yetis' grabbed him and tied him to a tree in the warren."LET ME GO!! LET ME GO!" Jack screamed. A thick layer of ice traveled up the tree and onto the ropes, but was of no help in freeing the boy. The frost elf's breathing became heavier as he glared angrily at the ground."What did Pitch do to him?" Tooth asked, horrified by Jack's obvious hatred for them."Some sort of spell," Bunnymund stated stepping closer. He grabbed the guardian's chin, lifting up his head, despite Jack's cold stare. "There's strange markings all over his neck." Without warning Bunny's paw was frozen over. "Cranky!" He said jumping back. A sly smirk appeared on Jack's face. "Oh just wait 'till I get my hands on Pitch, I'll-""DON'T TOUCH HIM," the boy shouted.Sandy turne
Pitch's return ch.6Chapter 6Pitch walked over to his nightmares, readying them for the takeover he had so longed for. "Jack," the Nightmare King called. Jack Frost flew over to Pitch, a smile on his face. The Boogeyman grabbed the boy's chin and kissed him. "Jack, would you do me a favor?" Pitch said gesturing to the nightmares. Jack flew to the ground and covered the nightmares in a light layer of frost. The Nightmare King laughed viciously. "Excellent."The two headed for the town of Burgess, Pitch in desperate need to first take down the children that defeated him before. Once they arrived, the pair stood on a sand cloud high above the city. The black sand and frost went out in all directions, turning all the children's dreams to nightmares. Jack smiled up at Pitch, glad to see the Boogeyman was so pleased with how everything was going."Jack," Pitch began, "I need you to fly towards the other side of town. There isn't enough ice on the nightmares." Jack nodded his head and flew in t
The Road Not Taken END CHAPTER - ROTG Black x Ice"When we do this we have to act fast. Jack is always watching the globe for lights."They were all in the Warren at the moment preparing for Easter. Even Pitch was painting a few, although they were a little dark in color to actually send out. Bunny hopped by and inspected them, shaking his head. Honestly, he was back to his old self. He was larger than life again, and Pitch assumed it just had to do with his own self confidence being restored."I've got some faith I can put up a fight, mate." Bunny said from his spot where he was painting eggs.Pitch looked off away from where the rest of the Guardians were doing their own thing to prepare for easter. He had a feeling of dread in his stomach. It really ircked him to be helping those he fought not too long ago, but the balance was tipped. As much as he hates to admit it, fear did mostly belong in the shadows. Not taking over the world.Jack had gone too far, actually physically hurting children. Technically, he was the only one whose s
The Road Not Taken - ROTG Black x Ice"Alright. I'm in.""Excuse me?"Here they were. The Nightmare King, and the Winter. Since the battle for the lights of the children, Pitch has kept a keen eye on Jack. He was a neutral party, and not to mention apparently extremely strong. However, it came as little surprise since dark and cold were easily put together, yes? He even made mention to that kind of power when they created the black-sand glacier mere moments ago.But when Pitch offered him a spot as a partner, he never expected the other to agree. Jack let his offensive stance drop ever so slowly, and Pitch had his arms up in a gesture, but were now frozen as he stared wide-eyed at the boy. This went on for so long, that Jack pulled his hood up over his head and looked away."Really?" Pitch blurted out again, mainly to himself than to the other."Yeah, because, you know.." he shook his stick. "..your right. They'll never trust me, and children will never believe in me. Why should I take a chance with their judgement when yo
Pitch's return ch.10Chapter 10Jack found his eyes opening slowly; he hadn't realized it but the boy had fallen asleep in Pitch's arms. The Nightmare King smiled, as Jack rubbed his eyes. "You dozed off.""I guess so. Sorry." Jack sat up and he suddenly realized there was strange light coming from outside Pitch's lair. They were the Northern Lights. "Pitch how long have those lights been out there?"The boogeyman shrugged his shoulders. "About fifteen minutes.""Shit," Jack shouted as he jumped out of bed and grabbed his staff. "Why didn't you tell me?! It'll take me another five minutes to get there!" The frost elf went to leave, when he suddenly felt his hood grabbed, and was lifted off the ground so that he and Pitch met eye to eye. "Put me down! I gotta go!""Why should I?" Pitch asked, his face showing slight irritation. "You're going to go and see the Guardians, there's not much in it for me, now is there?""I can't just stop being a Guardian!" Jack replied, getting annoyed. "It doe
Pitch's return ch.11Chapter 11"Pitch? Pitch?" Called Jack, as he entered the dark lair."Over here," a voice echoed far away.Jack walked further, trying to locate the Nightmare King. "Pitch where are you?""Over here. Just follow the sound of my voice." Jack continued to walk towards the boogeyman's voice, wondering what was going on. "That's it, just a little closer Jack." The boy finally arrived at the voice's location, but it spoke no more."P-pitch?" Something moved in the darkness, and Jack pointed his glowing staff at the creature; it was Pitch tied up and gagged. "Pitch!" Jack dropped to his knees, and untied the rag around his mouth."RUN!" Pitch screamed. Jack was about to ask what he meant, when suddenly the guardian was lifted off his feet and pinned against a wall. He looked up to see something that looked like Pitch, only it wasn't Pitch. The thing's body was black and made of sand, and his eyes were bright red."What have we here?" The monster asked. "Such an innocent litt
Gravity of Devils [two] Jack Frost and Pitch BlackGravity of Devils [two]StayA few months passed, maybe even an entire year before they met again. Jack needed his space, and the Boogeyman gave it to him—after all, he had made children believe in the Boogeyman again, and Pitch felt he owed the boy that much at least.Pitch never properly thanked him either. He could remember the day perfectly! How Jack had appeared before the children who could see him and told them stories of the hideous Boogeyman who haunted their dreams and closets and hid under their beds till morning.Those children believed in the Boogeyman then, and their fears fueled the Boogeyman's return to power temporarily, giving him enough juice to send out at least a few Nightmares to other children—and his power crept back into the darkness, into his very blood and through his veins—and his reign became supreme once more.And even now, as Pitch stared up at the flurry of ice and the volley of snow balls being pitched to and fro wh

Intercept is a special program for Outward Bound. This course is designed to serve youth aged 16-20 and their families by helping them address behaviors such as unhealthy risk-taking, low motivation, defiance or poor school performance. Courses are presented as metaphors for the transition from childhood to adulthood and designed to help teens connect their desire for more freedom with the reality that they must take on additional responsibility.
Course Description
This 28-day canoeing expedition is for struggling teens ages 16-20. Throughout the course students will be introduced to the joys and challenges of expeditionary canoe travel, camp craft and group dynamics while traveling on the unique river systems of central Florida that head out to the Intercostal Waterway on the Atlantic Ocean.
This Intercept Course is broken down into three components: a wilderness expedition, debrief and Parent/Student seminar. Together these components focus on teamwork, communication, leadership skills and helping our students practice making positive decisions, finding new strength/self-esteem and working to find new directions and to create a path to a brighter future.
Courses are highly structured with explicit wilderness, communication and leadership skills progression. It is not a therapeutic program and cannot accommodate students with certain psychiatric conditions, significant struggles with chemical dependency or those with a history of violent behavior.
Parent/Guardian Seminar
The Parent/Guardian Seminar lasts for two days and is at the end of the course. At least one parent or guardian is required to attend the seminar. First, instructors meet with family members to talk about each student's experience. Then, after students rejoin their families, instructors work with family groups to facilitate the transfer of "trail" learning to the home environment.
About Solo
A two-day solo provides an important break from the rigors of the expedition. With sufficient food and equipment, students will spend time alone at an assigned campsite to rest, reflect, and practice the camp-craft skills they have been learning throughout the course. Our instructors will choose the solo site for the crew. It will offer as much solitude as possible, but will be within hearing distance of the other group members for safety. The group will not travel during this time and the instructors will check on each participant occasionally. This Solo will last 38-48 hours.
About Intercept Instructors
Typical Outward Bound Intercept instructors are adventurous people with a breadth of life experiences, including broad knowledge of outdoor activities, group facilitation skills and a passion for working with struggling youth and young adults. Many of our instructors are Outward Bound alumni and are required to participate in our 12-day At-Risk New Staff Training which focuses on tools, techniques and theories for working with the Intercept student population. Instructors are also certified in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention through the Crisis Prevention Institute, and have been trained in Reality Therapy/Choice Theory and Motivational Interviewing.
During an Intercept course the ratio of instructors to students is, at maximum, 1:5 and there are at least two instructors per course. Often times we have three staff and a maximum of 11 students. The groups of instructors are generally co-ed, unless it is a student group of a single gender.
A Voluntary Commitment
Outward Bound does not expect students to be highly motivated to embark on an Intercept program. We are not, however, an incarceration program. We require that all students agree to participate and require that they follow our rules. Outward Bound works hard to encourage full participation from all individuals, so while we make every attempt to keep motivation high, if students are not willing to complete the program or are determined to leave course, we will not keep them against their will.
*North Carolina Outward Bound School cannot accept age waivers for Intercept courses. Due to the maturity level as well as general size, we have found that in the past students are not as successful in age groups outside of their own.
To apply for this course click the apply button next to the course dates that work for you. The non-refundable application fee of $125 is due at the time of application. For full fee schedule and process,click here. Course tuitions listed do not include our application fee or transportation fee.

The driver of a box truck was fortunate to escape serious injury when the truck crashed and overturned on Interstate 85 Thursday morning.
The crash happened in the southbound lanes of the interstate just before 8 a.m., according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.
The truck had flipped onto the driver's side, trapping the driver for a short time.
Rescue crews from both Rowan and Davidson County responded. Within minutes the driver was able to climb from the cab. He appeared to have cuts and scrapes to his right arm and was treated by Rowan County EMS.
The interstate slowed to a stop while crews worked to remove the truck from the roadway.
The right three lanes were closed and reopened around noon.
At this time the North Carolina State Highway Patrol has not released details of the accident.

In November, millions of Americans spent hours waiting in long lines in order to exercise their right to vote.
Voting rights have been under attack in state legislatures across the country for more than a decade and there are no signs of it letting up in 2013. Indeed 2013 could be a year that sets back voting rights more than all of the attacks of the past decade combined.

Brazil will be the first South American country to host the Summer Olympics which will be held in 2016, but first the country set their sites on building the world's tallest LEGO tower, a record previously held by Chile. The community of Sao Paulo constructed their 500,000 piece LEGO tower last weekend which rose to a height of 102 feet-three inches. School groups, families both kids and adults, joined in the team effort assembling the independent LEGO bricks that were stacked on top of each other eventually using a crane.

I want this in my classroom!!!
The true strength in our classroom lies in the collaboration of learners, not in the knowledge of one expert. (Krissy Venosdale)
technology rocks. seriously.: Worry About Yourself
Wrong message! Our students need to worry about eachother and be empathetic. Not selfish and only worried about their own wellbeing. Breaks my heart that so many teachers are more worried about students not annoying them with tattle taleing, than teaching their students how to turn that worry about others into worry about making sure others are okay.
There is a definite difference between "reporting" (being empathetic, etc) and "tattling". This sign is a shout out to all the times one wants to get another in trouble out of spite. It happens. Don't pretend like it doesn't. Completely agree with you, but there are so many shades of "empathy" -- this one is for the extreme opposite end. //end rant.

" Brand: Superdrug / Type: Nail Polish Remover / Subcategory: Conditioner "
I have tried a few different nail polish removers from the cheap ones which leave your nails incredibly dry and the more expensive ones which are super nourishing. Although this one isn't the most conditioning of all of them, it certainly strikes a good balance between conditioner and price. This one was around £1.50 when I bought it in my local Superdrug, with their standard nail polish remover being slightly cheaper and I think they had another which was slightly more expensive. I can't remember what it had in it though to justify the extra 30p!
It comes in a tall slim screw top bottle which looks slightly bigger than the leading brands such as Cutex. You must be careful of the screw top lid, I found that with mine the lid leaked slightly so just try and keep it upright as much as possible. A good thing about the bottle is that it has quite a wide neck part, which means that you can dip cotton buds straight into it, which is a bit easier than trying to pour it onto the bud itself. This is good if you're a bit heavy handed like me and have a tendency to spill things.
The smell of the product is like all other nail polish removers - horrible. It certainly isn't one of the worst smelling removers, but at the same time it certainly isn't the best. To be honest you don't really buy these types of products for the smell, and it doesn't detract from the overall score. It's a very good remover and does well with removing the darker colours without leaving too much behind. I've also tried using it with some glitter nail polish and it does really well with removing that as well - I usually find these slightly more difficult to remove and this does a brilliant job with it. The product also does a brilliant job with keeping my nails in good condition - some cheaper polishes leave them dry and brittle but this does the complete opposite. I think for the money that you're paying for this, it does an absolutely brilliant job on all accounts!
I recently popped into superdrug to buy some nail polish remover.
I found there was a range stocked on their shelves with a choice of 3-4 other ones.
I bought this one priced between at £1.09
The nail polish remover comes in a long 250ml bottle.
It has minimal packaging design but then again, I really don't need it to look flash.
The bottle includes everything you need to know - directions for use and safety advice.
The bottle also has the tag 100% happiness which means if you are not happy with it, they will give you a full refund and 25% off your next own brand purchase. This shows that they are confident in the quality of their product and I have to say I cant fault it.
The bottle has a white screw top lid which is easily opened. On opening the bottle you will notice the strong chemically smell that is the usual kind for nail polish removers. To apply the product I just tipped it onto some cotton wool pads and rubbed it over my finger nails.
The liquid is quite thin and I found I did not need to apply much for it to remove the nail polish.
I found it to remove the nail polish effortlessly and quickly. I only had to go over it twice on some nails and all traces of the nail polish were removed. I wasn't sure how it would leave my nails after the product had been applied and thought it may dry them out.. but my nails were left soft and smooth and did look clean.
Nail polish remover is highly flammable so you should be careful with it and keep it out of reach from polished or painted surfaces.
I give the product 5 stars and would purchase it again as it did what it was meant to, did not cost much and there's plenty in there that it will last me quite a while!
Thanks for reading.

I dont normally shop at Superdrug, I tend to prefer Boots but I needed some nail polish remover and Superdrug was closer to me than Boots was so I popped in there instead.
This nail polish remover retails for around £1.40, which is great as I dont like to spend alot on nail polish remover - id rather spend more on the nail polish! The product itself comes in a clear tall and thin rounded botte with a screw off cap. The liquid is a clear purply-pink colour, its smells jst as all nail varnish removers do - no very pleasent, and very chemically!
It does the trick, removing my nail polish without having to scrub at my nails like I have with some other cheap brands. It works best applying to a cotton wool pad than brushing over your nails, you dont need much. Some nail polishs I have had to soak my cotton wool pads and use about 5 just to get my varnish off my nails, but this is not the case with this one. I use one pad for each hand.
It leaves my nails looking nice and clean and my cuticales soft, and its doesnt take long or much rubbing to get the nail varnish off, even round the edges. I would recommend this nail varnish to everyone, there's no need to buy a more expensive branded one as this works just fine and is available in all superdrug stores.
As I like to paint my nails regularly it is essential that I always have a bottle of nail polish remover to hand. My nail polish remover of choice is Superdrug's own as it is cheap and cheerful and gets the job done.
The product itself comes in a long see through bottle which allows you to see all of the purple liquid and just how much of it you have got left. The ingredients list and instructions are printed clearly on the back of the bottle but I think this is pretty self explanatory. What I really like about this packaging is the lid, this may seem strange but it is extremely secure. The lid screws on tightly and has the added feature of a fixing on the inside which the bottle opening fits into to prevent spillages. This is perfect if you need to take this product with you travelling.
Using the product is simple, you literally need to pour some of the liquid onto cotton wool and away you go.
The bottle opening is a good size so that you can place a cotton ball or pad on the top, tip it and not get nail polish remover everywhere. I use cotton wool pads and they completely cover the opening with more to spare.
There is nothing particularly special about the scent of this product; it smells like any other nail polish remover.
The liquid absorbs easily into the cotton wool, when I have been desperate to use this and have not had any cotton wool spare I have used tissue and it absorbs easily into that as well.
When you are ready to remove your nail polish the product works well to achieve this. I have found it to be effective on the majority of nail polishes; however, some of the darker polishes may need a bit of an extra rub. It does the job to remove all traces of nail polishes and leaves my nails looking lovely and healthy.
This product is formulated with glycerine which has conditioning qualities. I can't say I have noticed that my nails look any more conditioned when using this product but my nails are generally quite healthy and conditioned anyway.
As well as doing its job perfectly this product also lasts absolutely ages! I actually cannot remember when I purchased the bottle that I have now and I've still got about a fifth left. Therefore I think it is very economical considering the price.
For a 250ml bottle you will pay £1.09 in Superdrug stores, for what in my eyes is an essential this is a bargain.
In case you could not tell I highly recommend this product, it's cheap and affordable and is a quality product. 5 stars!

I don't normally use Superdrug, but there was a huge queue in Boots, and I really needed to get some nail varnish remover, as I was walking around with seriously chipped nails! The nail polish remover was on special offer, it was buy one get one half price, so it worked out about £3 for two of these bottles.
The nail varnish remover itself is purple and clear. It comes in a tall, thin, round bottle- also purple. The lid is a round screw on and off lid. It is easy to remove and put back on and is nice and secure so it doesn't worry me too much about leakages (although not too sure I would package it in a suitcase full of clothes without putting it in a plastic bag for safety!) The nail varnish remover has that familiar chemically type smell, but I think something a little more floral has been added to take the edge off of it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but maybe it is a chamomile scent.
The nail polish remover works best when applied to cotton wool and then rubbed softy onto the nail. Compared to other nail varnish removers you only need an average amount to get the varnish off. The edges are a bit trickier and may need fresh liquid, but this is no different to other removers.
The remover does take off the top layer of shine on your nails, but all in all it leaves them in good condition. My nails were looking really good after use.
This is a good, effective nail polish remover, at a reasonable price. I would well recommend it.
During winter and summer months, I always try to find the time to paint my finger and toe nails. Due to an abundance of clothes I am constantly changing the colours, a big favourite of mine at the moment being pillar box red. Hence I constantly need to remove nail varnish. The Superdrug nail polish remover promises to remove nail polish whilst conditioning the nail underneath and at a bargain price how good is it?
The Packaging ~
Superdrug nail polish remover with conditioner comes in a translucent circular bottle and contains 250ml of light purple liquid inside. The bottle is easy to use being that it has a screw top cap, which means the liquid can literally be poured onto a cotton wool pad in the required quantity. The bottle also being circular fits neatly alongside other bottles whilst standing.
The Product ~
The purple remover is of the usual thin consistency and smells rather strongly of the alcohol/ chemical content that gives nail varnish the heave ho. This product can be applied to the nail both by soaking into a cotton wool pad or by soaking into tissue, however from experience the cotton wool option usually lasts longer and seems to cover more distance than the comparatively feeble tissue.
In Application ~
Upon soaking the remover into the chosen material the product can literally be wiped over the nail to remove colour, or for darker colours can be left to sit over the nail before rubbing. It can also be soaked onto cotton buds to enable the hard to reach areas to be removed i.e. the edges of the finger nail. This is also a useful method when painting the nails to mop up those occasional smudges.
My Experience ~
Due to the frequency that I apply and remove nail varnish I needed a product that was good value and that took off the most stubborn of nail colours. This product ticks both boxes. It is priced in Superdrug at around the £1.09 mark and I can testify that it does effectively remove 99% of nail colours. The only exception to this rule is very dark or bright red nail varnishes which do leave a hint of the colour behind even after soaking with polish remover. I am told that it is best to use an undercoat to prevent this happening and will be doing so in the future.
The product promises to condition the nail, and upon removal I have found no damage to the original nail and the nail is left shiny after treatment.
To surmise, this is a great product at a very reasonable price which is easily as good as the leading brand. Therefore I have scored it 5 stars.
Thank-you for reading my review.

I have only just begun to take a pride in having long nails as I have bitten my nails since as long as I can remember and over the past six months I have found that i have now borken the habit and can grow them to a nice length and file, shape and paint them.
I bought this Superdrug Nail Polish Remover With Conditioner
for £1.09 when I was last in town and it has done the job of taking off the nail polish quite well.
It helps to keep the nails in good condition and can be used on the fingers and toe nails as I like to paint them the same colour when i'm having a pamper day or on a nice warm day when I can wear my open toe sandles and dress.
The bottle is a nice purple plastic and the liquid inside is a purple colour too it does smell a little so don't get it very near your nose and keep away from the eyes and from small children getting their hands on it.
I like to use this on a cotton wool ball as you can get a little amount on and rub it gently over the nail to remove the polish. It does remove quickly without too much scrubbing over and over again. You can see it being left on the cotton wool balls as you use them.
For the price this is very good value and the bottle lasts a long time as you only need a little of the liquid to remove the polish. it doesn't strengthen the nails but I find that it does remove well so I am happy to recommend this to you. It removes quickly and my nails are dry and clean when i have used it so that I can think about filing them shaping them and putting on a different colour.
It's not often you find a cheap brand that does a good job like the more expensive brands and in this day and age if it works well, then why pay more than you can afford for something with a label name on it.
I have never really stuck with any particular brand of nail polish remover before... but this is the one that I have consistantly bought the past three times in a row. Not only is is cost - effective, but the 'conditioning' in the remover itself, I believe has truley worked.
We all know that manual labour is hard on our nails, and can sometimes lead to thinning, layering, chipping and breaking. (ARGH!) As you probably do, I tend to cover up my nail flaws with nail varnish, and only have to face the brutal truth when I remove the paint. However, I have definitely noticed a drastic change in the condition of my nails after removing the polish, now that I use superdrugs own brand!
I'm not sure about the science behind it all, so i couldn't tell you why it does what it does, but it works, and that is all that matters!
I always have atleast two coats of nailvarnish on, and it can get quite thick, so in regards to scrubbing your nails til their raw to get it off, this is not the case, which is an obvious plus. Just have your cotton wool ready and and you're nail varnish will be off in minutes.
the only flaw I can think of is the smell... but that's just because I HATE the smell of nail varnish remover! Don't we all?
I recently ran out of nail polish remover, and as I don't have one brand, I thought I would try the Superdrug own brand, which had conditioning qualities in the remover, which I thought would be beneficial to my nails, and also quickly remove the nail polish.
The nail polish remover is in a screw top, clear plastic bottle, which contains 250ml of the nail polish remover. The nail polish liquid is a light purple colour, which looks nice, but has very little appeal to customers as the way it looks doesn't effect how well the product works. The bottle has a black label on, which it has the Superdrug logo and some basic information on the product, such as, the conditioning properties the nail polish remover has.
Application of the nail polish remover is a very easy process, for smaller areas, use a cotton bud dipped into the bottle and rub over area of nail polish to remove. For the whole nail, I find using a cotton pad is easier, and I just tip a small amount of the nail polish remover on the pad, and rub over nail. Although it is difficult to control how much the cotton pad has, but easier and quicker to use. The smell of the nail polish remover is the same as any other, a strong chemical like smell, which you can't avoid, but if you really hate the smell I would avoid the bottled liquid and maybe try nail polish remover pads, which means the smell wouldn't be as strong.
The effects of using the Superdrug nail polish remover, was that my nail polish was removed very easily, although in some places, such as the sides on my nails, meant I had to rub abit harder to remove all the nail polish. But for most of the nails, it just took one movement of rubbing to remove most of the nail polish of the nail, which was a positive as I didn't want to be scrubbing and chipping the nail polish off, and the both hands took no more then 5 minutes to get all the nail polish off. Because of the Glycerin, in the nail polish remover it was claimed that the nail polish remover had conditioning properties to it, which I faintly noticed, as my nails did feel better, but I wasn't sure if that was because for the nail polish remover or because my nail are breathing after the nail polish being removed. The effects of the conditioning didn't last that long, so I'm assuming it wasn't because of the effects in the nail polish remover.
Even though the conditioning effect wasn't obvious, I would still highly recommend the Superdrug Nail polish remover with Conditioner, as it is a really effective nail polish remover, and quickly and easily removes nail polish and also the amount in the 250ml bottle lasts a very long time, which is really good value for money!
Superdrug Nail Polish Remover with Conditioner is only available at Superdrug stores and online, and only cots £1.09, which is a great price for the product, a must have!
I have a variety of different nail varnish removers, from pads to liquids and I do think that this one is a good one out there.
The product --> It comes in no fancy packaging but thats fine because it does the job perfectly well. It is in a clear plastic bottle with black writing on it. The remover itself is a light purple. It does the job very quickly and easy. I soak cotton wool and then apply to my nails for about a minute and find that it just lifts off really well after that. It contains glycerin, which is how the formula is so conditioning. It is 250ml.
The cost --> It is £1.09, and really does last for months! It is a great budget buy and it also conditions too.
It smells quite strong but I am yet to fine one that isnt too overpowering - this is just the trait of all nail varnish removers out there.
I don't have too much else to comment on this product - other than it is fab to have, cheap to buy and really does condition and offer healthy clean nails!
The price is £1.09 for 250ml.
Going on the amount you get I do think that this is reasonable especially when you think about how long nail polish remover will last the average person.
The nail varnish remover comes in a round bottle which is see through so you can see the liquid inside.
The colour of the nail varnish is a very nice lilac colour and makes the bottle look quite girly, the lid is also see through and the twist of type.
Over the bottle is 2 stickers which tell us information about the remover.
Overall, for £1.09 I didn't expect much to go into the packaging, its very average looking and nothing special.
'This nail polish remover with acetone removes all traces of even the most stubborn nail polishes quickly and effectively. Formulated with glycerin, known for its moisturising properties, to help prevent your nails from drying out.'
After having my blue nail varnish on for a few weeks, without it coming off and me repainting it, I decided it was time for a change! I had no nail varnish remover so asked my OH to go out and get me one and this is what he returned with. It sounded perfect, the varnish is probably the most stubborn ever after being gone over for weeks on end, my nails are also very dry and brittle so a product that wouldn't dry these out any more than they already were sounded great.
When opening up the bottle you get a huge whiff of the polish remover, its absolutely foul and makes me feel like I have a headache, but once the liquid is on the pad the smell is no longer noticeable, maybe a little but not as strong as it was.
The liquid is quite watery, doesn't feel greasy whilst going on to your nails, feels quite refreshing and light, I do have lots of cuts and marks around my nails though because I have a habbit of biting them until they are really sore, the liquid really stung but I guess that's my fault, not the products, so what I am saying is if you are like me and bite and pick, this will hurt..but I'm sure all on the market will since they all do the same thing...?
Anyway, did the varnish come of? well it didn't come of quickly, it took a lot of pressure down onto my nails and scrubbing up and down for it to come off, I guess though this was because of all the varnish build up, still it was nice to be left with my 'natural' nails and no longer a bold blue, I have now painted them a lovely nude colour, I made a mistake whilst doing this and I found that a simple wipe with the cotton and the nude colour came of a lot easier than the blue so it must just of been quite tough to get of because of the amount of time it had been on.
Great product and worth the price, highly recommend!
I've actually used this particular nail varnish remover for years as it is so cheap at under £1 for a large 250ml bottle. They also stock Superdrugs own acetone free version which is about 20p more expensive but I never bother with that one.
It comes in a slightly frosted white plastic bottle with a screw top lid. You can clearly see the liquid inside which is of a light purple colour. The consistency is almost water like and the funnel area where you tip it out isn't too large. I have had problems with other nail polish removers the funnel bit being too big and then resulted in me pouring out loads and stripping the varnish off my dining room table! Not good! The lids on my last 2 bottles have somehow broke so i have to be careful and make sure I don't throw it into my makeup box. I tend to use cotton wool pads with this rather than balls as I find it is a lot easier. Whats great about this remover as you do not need to scrub at the nail to get the varnish off, just hold for a few seconds and wipe. The smell isn't overpowering like some, it still smells but no where near as bad as others. I'm not entirely sure about the conditioning in the remover but then again i always moisturize my hands after taking the polish off. It's also not greasy at all which I hate in removers. I would definitely recommend using this as it is such a bargain and works just as well as any other brand out there.
The think I hate most in life, is when I go to re-paint my nails and I have no nail varnish remover left! So I recently went out and brought myself three bottles of Superdrug's own brand remover.
*About the product*
This product is designed to remove nail varnish quickly and easily. Superdrug's nail varnish remover also has a conditioner in it, it is specially formulated with Glycerin which, apparently, is known for it's conditioning qualities.
The nail varnish remover is priced at 99p for a 250ml bottle, not bad at all!
The nail varnish remover is shown in the picture above. The bottle is clear and holds a purple liquid remover. There is a black 'superdrug nail varnish remover' label on the front of the bottle. The back of the bottle has a little paragraph about the product and a directions to use section.
*Directions for use*
It is recommended that you use cotton wool, soaked in the varnish remover, and wipe gently from the bottom of the nail to the tip to remove the nail varnish. Depending on the brand of nail varnish that you use, you may need to repeat this more than once in order to completely remove the product.
I always find that nail varnish remover doesn't remove the product that I have on. I always use Barry M nail varnish and have recently read that this varnish can stain your nails. I found that the Superdrug nail varnish remover was very effective and took off all of the colour on my nails, including the staining, very quickly. Also, the conditioning ingredient seemed to work and my nails did not feel dried out and rough after using it.
I ran out of nail varnish remover the other day and therefore went to add some to my weekly online shop. However, for some reason there wasnt any on the website even though I know they stock it as I have bought it from there numerous times before.
Therefore, when I was next in my local town I decided to pop into Superdrug to pick some up. I was only after a cheap version, really trying to watch the pennies at the moment! So when I spotted this for just 99p I picked it straight up. There is also an acetone free version which costs about 20p more (I think!).
The bottle is just like the one shown in the picture above. The bottle is see through and the product inside is a light purple colour. The bottle tells me I can use this on my hands and feet and it also points out that it is a conditioning nail polish remover, therefore meaning my nails should stay in better condition!
The bottle size is 250ml and it will last 36 months once open. Nail varnish remover always lasts me forever despite using it at least 3 times a week, this is because you use so little of it. Therefore for 99p this is a bargain in my opinion as usually a bottle this size lasts me well over 6 months.
So to use the polish remover you simply squirt a bit onto cotton wool and then wipe it over your nail. I like to use cotton wool pads simply because they tear less easily and I find it quicker and easier. Pouring the remover is easy, the bottle neck is quite small meaning it is easy to control how much you pour out.
Wiping the remover over my nail I was pleased to see how quickly it was removing all traces of nail polish. I didnt particularly have to rub the nail and it slid off really easily. I use one cotton wool pad per hand and this will remove all traces regardless of colour. It also removes glitter polishes really well which is a relief as I have found these difficult to remove in the past. It works quickly and is easy to use, it takes less than a minute to remove all of your nail varnish.
The smell isnt too bad. Often with nail polish removers I need to open the window to allow a breeze through my house but this one is not a problem and nobody has complained about the smell (which they usually do!).
I have also noticed my nails are in better condition since using this, they used to peel and break easily but I have not had any of this since using this (touch wood)!
Therefore I think this is a great product for a brilliant price, I will continue to use this and buy more when my bottle finally runs out.
When shopping for nail varnish remover I always go to Superdrug. I use their Nail Polish Remover with conditioner. Apart from being an excellent product it is also a really good price, 99P for a 250ml bottle, although I have noticed that it's half price on the Superdrug website at the moment. I always have my nails painted so I get through quite a lot of remover and this one doesn't break the bank.
The Nail Remover Polish comes in a tall plastic bottle with a clear screw top lid. It just has Superdrugs logo and Nail Polish Remover written on the front and on the back it has a list of ingredients, the instructions and some hazard warnings. These are pretty standard for remover, such as keep away from your eyes and children.
The liquid is a pale purple colour, and has the really strong chemical smell of most nail varnish removers. This particular one is not acetone free but it does contain Glycerin, known for it's conditioning qualities which I think really does help to prevent my nails drying out and getting brittle.
When taking your nail varnish off this product works really well. It removes the colour quickly and effectively. If I have been wearing a particularly strong colour I do find you need to use a couple of applications to remove all the stain the varnish has left. Also If I have been wearing the same colour on my toe nails for a couple of weeks and have several layers built up then I find soaking a cotton wool pad in the remover and laying it on the nail for a moment will help to remove the varnish quicker than just the usual rubbing.
All in all this is a good, reasonably priced item, and although nail varnish remover is quite a harsh chemical this one does have a conditioner in it. If you are buying remover I would defiantly recommend giving this one a try.

The Detroit Lions underachieved to put it nicely in 2012. They had a lot of players facing free agency this summer and defensive back Chris Houston thinks that affected their locker room and on-field chemistry. Usually the notion is that players headed into free agency perform exceptionally well to try and earn a new contract, Houston disagrees.
"It left a bad taste, but you can see the chemistry is so much better now," Houston said, via Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News. "A lot of guys were working for themselves last year. We got a lot of young guys now and they listen, no big egos or nothing. It's going to be a much better year."
The Lions have been forced to use multiple safeties, this also led to a lack of chemistry according to Houston.
"I probably played with 20 different safeties since I've been here, five or six just last year," said Houston. "There was no camaraderie, no communication. We'd get a safety off the street and he'd try to learn everything in the playbook in a week. We got a lot of bigger guys now, speed guys. When you got set pieces and they understand each other, you can play fast and gamble and make more plays, like in 2011."

Seaside elementary school students are helping protect threatened Western Snowy Plovers. Their drawings were posted along Seaside Beach to alert beach-goers that Seaside Beach's dunes are fragile and vital habitats for snowy plovers.
Reginald Sebolino, a student at Martin Luther King Elementary School, did this drawing of snowy plovers to mark dunes at Seaside Beach where fragile nesting habitats are.
The Pacific Coast population of the Western Snowy Plover is federally listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
Student David Diaz Chavez did this drawing of snowy plovers.
Martin Luther King Elementary School students Chelsea Robles and Brendan Garcia drew this cute plover chick.
Plovers lay eggs and raise their tiny, fuzzy chicks out in the open, alongside volleyball games, beach blankets, and surfers.
Yet most beach-goers have never seen one.
Biologists monitor the entire population of roughly 375 Western Snowy Plovers nesting around the Monterey Bay.
On August 8, 2013, biologists from Point Blue Conservation Science and the Monterey Bay Aquarium will release three captive-reared Western Snowy Plovers at Moss Landing State Beach.
The three birds represent an opportunity to increase the population of this threatened bird species.
In 2013, Western Snowy Plovers are producing the lowest numbers of offspring in 30 years of study, making clear the importance of this captive breeding program.
Biologists from Point Blue Conservation Science (Point Blue, formerly PRBO Conservation Science) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium work together each year to release captive raised plovers into the wild.
Victoria Garcia of Martin Luther King Elementary School did this artwork of plovers and their nest.
Student Monteleah drew these plovers.
Carlos Cabrera of Martin Luther King Elementary School did this great drawing.
Artist Jocelynne Salazar is a student at Del Rey Woods Elementary School.
Laura Hannah Blesh of Martin Luther King Elementary School did this drawing.
"This tiny sparrow-sized shorebird struggles to survive on our beaches – dodging people, dogs, and now will have to grapple with the effects of climate change, including shrinking beach habitat from sea-level rise and wave scouring from strong storms," Point Blue Waterbird Ecologist Kriss Neuman said.
