| Can this shiny lip gloss slim your hips?
Rub on a lip gloss and lose weight. Sip a berry drink and look younger. Down some iced tea and burn calories. If only it were that simple. “Always on the lips … never on the hips," promise ads for the new "Fuze Slenderize Guilt free" lip gloss. Marketed by Too Faced Cosmetics, the flavored lip gloss claims it can suppress your appetite with the same mix of minerals and ingredients found in Coca-Cola's Fuze energy fruit drinks. As Americans continue to struggle with weight loss, marketers are getting more outlandish with their quick-fix diet claims. At least with Fuze, a blend of the minerals chromium and L-carnitine, along a hydroxycitric acide extract called Super Citrimax, the calorie conscious had to drink a full bottle of the beverage to get the promised hunger-easing metabolism boost.

Pride of Place
Sayyeda Zeinab came to Egypt in the year 61 after Hijra (AH, equivalent to the year 680 on the Julian calendar) after her brother, Sayyedna Al-Hussein, was murdered in the battle of Karbalaa by the legions of the new Umayyad Caliph Al-Yazid I. She died and was buried in Cairo, where an entire district was named in her honor. To this day, the Mosque of Sayyeda Zeinab is a popular destination for Egyptians, poor and rich, in need of succor. Sayyeda Zeinab's journey to Egypt showed the Prophet's other grandchildren and relatives that Egypt would be a safe haven for them in times of need. She had brought her nephews and nieces with her, the sons and daughters of her deceased brothers Al-Hussein and Al-Hassan, and their descendants are those who live among us today as Al-Ashraaf. At turns feared and persecuted by those in power because of the boundless love and respect the family attracts from the masses, there are now some 70,000 officially recognized families in Egypt who can trace their lineage back to the Prophet and his descendants.

Stretching the tournament scheduled across the calendar and should make a less rigorous life for anglers who fish both the BASS and FLW tours. Some anglers who have stuck strictly with BASS may also compete on the FLW tour. The late February or March date for the Classic should put anglers on better fishing opportunities than the late-summer dates have. In this time slot, the Classic will take place prior to the start of the regular tournament season. Most likely the Classic sites will be in warm-weather areas. BASS has not announced the location of the 2006 Classic, but this year's event will be in Pittsburgh. .
