Tide Cheer All Wisk I'm thinking Tide? Answer: Wisk was launched in 1956 as the first liquid laundry detergent. The brand was widely known for its successful "Ring Around The Collar" campaign introduced in 1968, spotlighting sometimes-difficult to treat stains that appeared on shirt collars, and the product's ability to help fight them. The campaign received significant criticism decades later for being misogynist, with the implication that it was the fault of wives for letting their husbands leave home with dirty collars. After company changes, the slogan was changed to "science of stain fighting" in 2010.

Its either 12 or 13?? Answer: A game of bowling consists of 10 frames, in which a bowler has two chances per frame to knock down all ten pins. The highest possible score in a single game is 300, achieved by bowling 12 strikes in a row in a single game: one strike in each of the first nine frames, and three more in the tenth frame. Because a strike counts as ten pins plus any pinfall in the next two balls, 30 points are possible in a given frame. Bowling's perfect score, a 300 game, represents 12 strikes in a row--a total of 120 pins knocked down.

Brian Epstein Lou Pearlman Colonel Tom Parker Billy Martin I believe that would be Colonel Tom Parker!! Answer: The portly, cigar-chomping Colonel Tom Parker controlled Elvis’ career for two decades, helping him achieve enormous success while at the same time taking commissions of as much as 50 percent of the entertainer’s earnings and drawing criticism that he was holding Elvis back creatively. A number of sources have suggested that Elvis’ manager, Colonel Parker, turned down lucrative offers for the singer to perform abroad because Parker was an illegal immigrant and feared he wouldn’t be allowed back into the U.S. if he traveled overseas. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Members phkrause Posted January 9, 2017 Author Members Posted January 9, 2017 19 hours ago, phkrause said: What Was Special About Presley's First Hit Song "Heartbreak Hotel?" Presley released his version of this song in 1956 with his band, the Blue Moon Boys. The pianist on the song was Floyd Cramer and guitarist was Chet Atkins, both of whom went on to have lucrative careers of their own. "Heartbreak Hotel" was special because it was only the second song in Billboard history to reach the top of the three Billboard charts. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: How Much Did Presley Pay for Graceland Mansion? Elvis purchased Graceland Mansion in 1957 for about $102,000 from Ruth Brown Moore, after making a $1,000 deposit. Situated on 13.7 acres, the house has 23 rooms, including the famous Polynesian-designed jungle room. As part of a larger farm owned by S.E. Toof and family, the home was named after a member of the family named Grace and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has the distinction of being the second most frequently visited house in the country, after the White House. The home operates as a museum, with tours of the home and estate grounds, including the burial places of Elvis, his mother and father, Vernon and Gladys Presley, his grandmother, Minnie Mae, and a memorial cenotaph to his twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley, who died at birth. By May 2016, over 20 million people had visited the home of the "King." 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Why Did Elvis Never Do a World Tour? The King of Rock and Roll was famous throughout the world for many years but only traveled outside the country once to entertain. Three concerts were given in Canada in 1957 during a three-day tour. The reason might have had to do with Col. Tom Parker, Presley's manager. Years later, it was discovered that Col. Parker's real name was Andreas van Kuijk. He had been born in Breda, Netherlands. After arriving in the United States, he had taken the name Tom Parker from the man who had interviewed him for the Army. Allegedly, Parker was most likely in the country illegally. This explains why Parker did not accompany Presley to Canada, since he never obtained a passport. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: What Are Elvis Presley's Accomplishments and His Legacy? With a grand total of over one billion records sold worldwide over the years, Presley holds the number two spot for records sold, just behind The Beatles. With 33 movies and three concert specials on television, Presley was widely known both through his music and on the screen. He was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1971 at the young age of 36 and won three Grammys out of 14 nominations. Although Presley passed away in 1977, there are still over 400 active Elvis Presley fan clubs in existence around the world, passing on his legacy of great rock and roll.

Peanut butter and banana Peanut butter and pickles Peanut butter and fried egg Peanut butter and bologna Never heard of it!! Answer: The peanut butter and banana sandwich has been referred to as a favorite of Elvis Presley who was renowned for his food cravings. The peanut butter and banana sandwich, sometimes referred to as an Elvis sandwich or simply the Elvis, consists of toasted bread slices with peanut butter, sliced or mashed banana. Books on Elvis Presley's favorite foods and culinary tastes, as well as other published reports on his taste for peanut butter and banana sandwiches with or without bacon, have made the sandwich widely associated with Presley.

Richard M. Nixon Lyndon B. Johnson John F. Kennedy Dwight D. Eisenhower Nixon Answer: Although it was President John F. Kennedy who set the nation on the course to the moon, it was Nixon who was in office during the first manned lunar landing. Stainless steel commemorative plaques were attached to the ladders on the descent stages of the United States Apollo Lunar Modules flown on lunar landing missions to be left permanently on the lunar surface. All of the plaques bear facsimiles of the participating astronauts' signatures. The first (Apollo 11) and last (Apollo 17) plaques bear a facsimile of the signature of Richard Nixon, President of the United States during the landings.

Members phkrause Posted January 10, 2017 Author Members Posted January 10, 2017 21 hours ago, phkrause said: Nixon Participated in Three Historic Firsts. What Were They? Nixon participated in the first televised presidential debate, was the first U.S. president to visit China when it was not officially recognized by the United States, and was the first sitting U.S. president and Vice President to visit the Soviet Union. The debate was thought to be the key to Kennedy winning the election instead of Nixon; the visit to China resulted in China being formally recognized by the United States, Taiwan being kicked out of the United Nations, and a greater acceptance of acupuncture in the United States. During the advance visit in 1971 by a team of U.S. dignitaries and press, one of the reporters, James B. Reston, fell ill with appendicitis. To soothe post-operative pain, the Chinese doctors used acupuncture, which was not nearly as well-known in the United States then as it is now. This incident, which would not have happened had Nixon not planned to visit China, was what really brought acupuncture to U.S. attention. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: What Four Effects Did Nixon Have on Popular Culture? Despite his image as a fairly stern, conservative politician, Nixon left a heck of a mark on popular culture. Most of these were unintentional; his infamous "I am not a crook" line became so well known that it has made appearances in animated TV series such as Futurama, as one example. Another unintentional mark was the gift of a first name to Bart Simpson's friend, Milhouse. Nixon was also part of the odd meeting with Elvis Presley in December 1970, during which Elvis presented the president with a gun as a gift. However, Nixon did purposefully participate in one of the major pop culture memes of his tenure: an appearance on Laugh-In in 1968. He delivered one of the show's signature lines in such an odd -- but calculated -- manner that it became a memorable event and likely helped him get re-elected. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: What Was Nixon Not Cut Out For? Nixon's life story reads like that of a genius polymath; he excelled at music, won a grant to Harvard (although he couldn't attend due to family obligations), was near the top of his law school class, was accepted to the FBI (his position was eliminated before he could start the job), and appeared as both a vice-presidential and presidential candidate multiple times. However, the one thing he couldn't do was run a business. Nixon tried his hand at running a citrus business in the 1930s, making orange juice and selling the frozen juice. The business failed, mainly because of the fact that they were trying to freeze pure juice instead of concentrate. However, Nixon definitely did what he could to help the company, even taking on cutting and juicing tasks himself. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: What Act Made Nixon Look Like a Winner After He Lost the California Gubernatorial Election? One act that stood out during the 1992 campaign was then-candidate Bill Clinton's appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, playing the saxophone. However, that wasn't the first time a politician got musical on a talk show to improve his image. Nixon had Bill beat by almost 30 years, appearing on The Jack Paar Show in 1963 and playing a song that he (Nixon) had written.

Acropolis means 'high city' in Greek. Although there are many other acropoleis in Greece, the significance of the Acropolis of Athens is such that it is commonly known as "The Acropolis" without qualification.
