Honda Fit Sport
Honda’s smallest and cheapest car may be one of its best. It’s fun to drive, reliable and, for its size, very
roomy. Then there’s the fuel economy: The Fit’s mileage has been all over the map. Press gently on the
gas pedal around town and set the cruise control to 60 mph on the freeway and the results are
surprisingly Prius-like. But try to keep up with the rest of the manic traffic flow in Los Angeles and fuel
economy can dip into the high 20’s. That happens more often than not because the Fit has to use all of
its 109 hp to merge onto the freeway. The swing in mileage from our best tankful to our worst was
nearly 16 mpg—more than any other long-term test car in recent memory.

Nonetheless, over the past 9000-plus miles, the Fit has been nearly bulletproof. Our only repair was the
replacement of warped front brake rotors—the result of a frisky afternoon of canyon carving. We
simply overheated the brakes and failed to cool them down properly. It was clearly our fault, yet the
Honda dealership still replaced them under warranty.

Treating Burns
You can get burned by heat and fire, radiation, sunlight, electricity or chemicals. There are three degrees of burns:
 First-degree burns are red and painful. They swell a little. They turn white when you press on the skin.
The skin over the burn may peel off after 1 or 2 days.
 Thicker burns, called second-degree burns, have blisters and are painful. The skin is very red or
splotchy, and it may swell a lot.
 Third-degree burns cause damage to all layers of the skin. The burned skin looks white or charred.
These burns may cause little or no pain because the nerves in the skin are damaged.
How long does it take for burns to heal?
 First-degree burns usually heal in 3 to 6 days.
 Second-degree burns usually heal in 2 to 3 weeks.
 Third-degree burns usually take a very long time to heal.
How are burns treated?
The treatment depends on what kind of burn you have. If a first- or second-degree burn covers an area larger than
2 to 3 inches in diameter, or is on your face, hands, feet or genitals, you should see a doctor right away. Thirddegree burns require emergency medical attention.
Do not put butter, oil, ice or ice water on burns. This can cause more damage to the skin.
First-degree burn
Soak the burn in cool water. Then treat it with a skin care product like aloe vera cream or an antibiotic ointment.
To protect the burned area, you can put a dry gauze bandage over the burn. Take an over-the-counter pain
reliever, such as acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol), ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin) or
naproxen (brand name: Aleve), to help with the pain.
Second-degree burn
Soak the burn in cool water for 15 minutes. If the burned area is small, put cool, clean, wet cloths on the burn for
a few minutes every day. Then put on an antibiotic cream, or other creams or ointments prescribed by your
doctor. Cover the burn with a dry nonstick dressing (for example, Telfa) held in place with gauze or tape. Check
with your doctor's office to make sure you are up-to-date on tetanus shots.
Change the dressing every day. First, wash your hands with soap and water. Then gently wash the burn and put
antibiotic ointment on it. If the burn area is small, a dressing may not be needed during the day. Check the burn
every day for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling or pus. If you see any of these signs, see
your doctor right away. To prevent infection, avoid breaking any blisters that form.
Burned skin itches as it heals. Keep your fingernails cut short and don't scratch the burned skin. The burned area
will be sensitive to sunlight for up to one year.
Third-degree burn
For third-degree burns, go to the hospital right away. Don't take off any clothing that is stuck to the burn. Don't
soak the burn in water or apply any ointment. You can cover the burn with a sterile bandage or clean cloth until
you receive medical assistance.

Fish Massage
Where it's done L&N Nails and Tanning, 1411 B Merritt Blvd., Dundalk, 410-282-9211.
How it's done When John Ho brought tiny garra rufa fish to nibble the dead skin off clients' feet
at his Alexandria, Virginia, salon, he found it was a tough sell. Then, he let customers stick their
hands in a tank of fish to test it out. Soon, they were willing to dip their toes in a basin full of the
fish. The procedure originated in Turkey as a full-body exfoliation to treat skin conditions in the
1800s. Ho decided to use the garra rufa fish just on feet. Now, he has brought the fish to the
L&N Nails and Tanning Salon in Dundalk for Baltimoreans to try. As long as you have no
abrasions or open wounds, you can spend 15 to 30 minutes in a fish foot bath and follow the
treatment with a traditional pedicure.
What it costs $35 for 15 minutes, $40 for 20 minutes, $50 for 30 minutes of fish nibbling; a
traditional pedicure is extra.
Does it work? Carolyn White, 61, who was visiting from Alamogordo, New Mexico, heard
about Diane Sawyer getting a fish pedicure on Good Morning America and wanted to give it a
try. "It kind of feels like little shocks—in a good way. It's very strange because even though [the
fish are] on your feet, you can kind of feel it all the way up your leg." She expected the fish to
spend most of their time on the hard skin on her big toe, but they surprised her by spending most
of their time nibbling under her ankles.
