When you're talking about two composers of such stature, I don't know how to say one is better or more memorable than the other. I think it's safe to say that Bach has tended to be viewed as the more important of the two, but part of that may be a bias that doesn't value the operatic and choral writing of Handel to the same degree as the instrumental works of Bach. Now, I would agree that Bach's Brandenburg concertos are far and away more interesting works than the concerti grossi of Handel (though these are also delightful works); but Bach never wrote an Opera, and I doubt he could have rivaled Handel's mastery of that field.
Another area to consider is that of influence on later composers. Obviously both were tremendously influential, but I think Bach scores higher on this count for two reasons: 1) his sons who became influential composers in the next era and directly influenced Haydn and Mozart, and 2) his impact on composition technique in the area of counterpoint. As skilled as Handel was, his strength (in my opinion) was in his command of the Baroque melodic style; once the Baroque era had passed, his influence was more limited than that of Bach, whose counterpoint technique translates across many styles and continues to be relevant down to the present.
But again, both are giants of Western music and blessings to my life and many others. It's like asking which of my children I like best! I would love to hear other opinions on this.

How do you lose love handels on her body?
Loseing your love handels is simple ladies. Without dieting (well dieting would help much more) you can do this excercise anywhere. You stand up straight, and with whatever side you want to start on right or left. You extend your arm out and bring it close to you as if you were trying to show someone your muscles. Then at the same time you lift up your knee and bring down your elbow (without moveing it from your upper side) you meet both of them in the middle. Then you keep doing them, and watch the love handels melt away :)
