Men grow beards for Ohio contest honoring president
Ray Blinn, 60, is growing his very first beard for the contest.
"Too bad they don't have the scruffy, mountain-man category, because that's probably going to be what I look like," Blinn said.
There will not only be a prize for the best resemblance to Hayes, but also others in categories including longest, neatest and most unusual beards. .
Johnson wins second Daytona 500 pole as Hendrick team rolls on
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - The Hendrick Motorsports juggernaut just keeps on rolling. Reigning NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson won his second Daytona 500 pole less than 24 hours after new Hendrick teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. took the checkered flag in the non-points Budweiser Shootout. Michael Waltrip, embarrassed last year at Daytona when his then-new team was caught in the post-qualifying inspection using an illegal fuel additive in his Toyota, also had a great run Sunday, taking the outside pole. Only the top two qualifiers locked in starting positions for next week's 50th running of the Daytona 500. Asked if this makes him the favorite to win the 500, Johnson said, "We have to wait until we get out in the draft and see how these cars work.
6 things your dermatologist never told you
Think chocolate is causing your acne? Do you let a cut “dry out" so it will heal faster? Be prepared to be surprised as Dr. Debra Wattenberg reveals six things your dermatologist may not have told you ... but should have. Chocolate doesn't cause acne, but milk might
There are very few studies showing the association between food and acne. People think that the greasy foods — like chocolate, pizza and fried foods — somehow clog their pores and the oils get secreted onto their skin. In fact, acne is caused by the gland getting clogged by skin cells and bacteria. Recent studies have shown the possible link between milk and other dairy products with the development of acne. It is thought that hormones and other bioactive molecules may stimulate the glands causing acne. I usually recommend limiting but not eliminating dairy.
Chirally Correct Cosmeceuticals
Sircuit Skin products have made a name for themselves among the Hollywood A-list set thanks to a novel formulation approach known as Chiral technology. Derived from the Greek word "chir," which means "hand," the technology refers to a mirror image phenomenon frequently found in nature (e.g., human hands, eyes and feet are identically opposite, mirror images of each other). Sircuit’s full product line is built on a "Chirally Correct" molecule theory and are promised to pair perfectly with the skin’s cells to produce "only the positive effects of each ingredient or nutrient, while virtually eliminating any adverse reactions," thus restoring purity and alignment to the skin on a molecular and cellular level. When a product is "Chirally Correct," it implies that it contains only the molecules with the ability to give the desired results, according to Michael Wolfgeher, president of the Los Angeles, CA-based company, who cited vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid, as an example.
Interview: MST3K folks at it again with 'Cinematic Titanic'
I guess I didn't realize that. J.: Yeah, so I think everyone started saying, "what are we gonna do to preserve this mark of passing?" PN:Uh huh. J.: ... and those discussions formed into this, really. PN: What are the prospects for bringing back a broadcast presentation? Has that even been discussed at all? J.: We don't have a locked-in-concrete business plan. We're open to all sorts of things, but we're all really enjoying being our own bosses and ... F: The TV business is much different now than it was... the idea of doing a two-hour show isn't as viable today as it was 20 years ago. J.: One of the things that made Mystery Science thrive in its early years was that we were doing it in Minnesota, and all the network executives were in New York.
Two roads, one story: Chaos
He said the traffic police was ready to work out a solution with the college authorities. On its part, the traffic police can only focus on regulating the traffic inflow and every effort is being made in this regard, he added. Shopkeepers in the area suggest that the college should use its back gate during peak hours to make sure that commuters taking the main road are not put to unnecessary inconvenience. The proposal to make the road one way also fizzled out because students of the college were against it. The rickshaws can be parked at a relatively open space and the students should be asked to walk some distance, said one of the shopkeepers. Principal Neelam Kamra, however, declined to comment saying she was busy in meetings. Elaborate plans, however, are afoot to control traffic situation, says the SSP.
