Air Supply will bring back that '80s feel

Advertiser Staff and News Services

We've realized the best part of love isn't really the thinnest slice, and does, indeed, count for much. But we'll still probably show up for '80s Australian soft-rock duo Air Supply's Nov. 14 concert at Blaisdell Arena anyway. Why? The tunes, dude. After all, what Gen-Xer can forget slow-dancin' to "Lost In Love," "Every Woman In The World," "All Out Of Love" and the mouthful that is "Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)?" Not us.

As a bonus to all the feel-good vibes the Supply is sure to, uh, supply, the show is a benefit for the Dominican Sisters' ministries efforts to build an elder-care facility on O'ahu's North Shore. Whoa! Tickets are $45 to $65. Call 526-4400 or go online to www.ticketmaster.com.

Yogurt contest will help feed the hungry

Want some help to feed the hungry? A $10,000 donation to the charity of your choice is top prize in a contest sponsored by Dannon Yogurt with America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest hunger-relief organization.

Now in its second year, the contest picks a winner from volunteers at local food pantries, soup kitchens and hunger-relief agencies. Winners are chosen from those who submit a 500-word essay (see www.dannon.com for details). Runners-up win $1,000 for charity. The contest deadline is Oct. 17.

What's in the middle doesn't really count

Why do a spell check?

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Amzanig, huh?

At last, a solution to those Kleenex burns

Recently discovered in an aisle at Longs Drugs: ChapStick for your nose.

The product is meant to treat and prevent that nasty red "Kleenex burn" you get around your nose from blowing and wiping, blowing and wiping during the worst of a cold or allergy.

The packaging for the ChapStick Moisturizing Nose Soother says the product contains aloe and vitamin E, but is mostly petroleum jelly.

The concept is not new. Glam girls in the know have been using regular ChapStick or lip gloss on their feet to prevent blisters from strappy sandals. Yet another reason not to borrow from a friend's makeup bag.
