...arrangement of Nothing Compares 2 U. But it's the first disc - full of unreleased tracks, covers and a few new songs - that's the revelation. O'Connor has never sounded like a little girl, but she manages innocence on Love Hurts, while her version of the Abba powder-puff Chiquitita raises the song to something approaching beauty.

Obesity statistics be damned! Oh, sure, your children can huff and puff as they vigorously pedal a Razor USA three-wheeler or push along the popular scooter to school. Or they can cruise down the sidewalk in style, powered by an electric motor attached to this year's models.

"I was never a cream puff, but I hadn't exercised in 10 years and wanted more muscle tone," says the former teacher. After nine months of five or more workouts a week, Manring saw huge gains in strength. Now she gets respectful glances from buff young body builders as she leg-presses 400 lbs. and knocks out 100 full-body push-ups. "I never could have done that when I was younger," she says. "It's wonderful...
...greens in the saag paneer, and litchi juice in the margaritas. Indika's self-taught chef-owner, Anita Jaisinghani, 41, worked most recently at Cafe Annie, one of Houston's best-known restaurants. She knows when to keep things simple (a meltingly tender lamb shank) and when to experiment (puff pastry crowned with palm sugar and almonds). "I wanted to Americanize the food slightly," she says, "but just to improve...
