Great story! Welcome to DWT!
My family mocks me too, they love WDW but not nearly as much as I do. What's so funny about a checklist of must-sees right?
I think you'll fit right in.
For my first post ever I thought I would share with you lovely people why WDW really is The Happiest Place on Earth (as if you needed a reason!).
This past October I got to take my little sister (age 32) for her first trip to the Magic Kingdom. She was a bit frightened to go with me as I wish I could live in the Castle and she often gets tired of my bright, princess-y blathering on about how great WDW is. Well... we joined our older step-sister, her husband, and our niece (age 7) for her first trip as well. We all arrived at different times and I forced all of them to go with me the first night to see SpectroMagic. It was their first Disney experience and what a great start to a trip that only gets better!
The next day I took them back to MK so they could see it in the day light. While they were getting a wheelchair for my sister (she had broken her ankle) I told them I was going to pick up our Not so Scary tickets. I went by myself to the Town Hall to get them. I walked up to the counter and started talking to the CM who was getting my tickets. Of course I was just being my usual self and for some reason the CM stopped in mid conversation and told me he had something else for me. He went behind the counter and got a pin for me. It says, "Honorary Citizen of Walt Disney World", among other things. I was thrilled! I put my pin on and pranced out into the street. Of course my family mocked me a smidgen but then, here comes The Mayor! I had not gotten to meet him before so of course I now have a great photo of myself wearing my pin, with The Mayor. Needless to say, the rest of the trip I was on cloud 9 and then when Cast Members would welcome me to the family I just wanted to hug them. Other CM's told me they had never seen a pin like that before. So, I am not sure if it is new just for this year or not but I can't imagine a better experience for someone so in love with the Disney Magic as me. I hope my little (and long) story brings a tear of nostalgia to your eyes and your willingness to share your greatest dreams come true with me too. Until next trip...

Welcome to the site!
Nice story to read first thing in the morning. You will have to enlighten us more on how the family reacted to things.
It's a Disney thing. If you understood, your only question would be "can I go?"

Welcome to the fam...
Wonderful story. And i must agree with Tink, i don't know what's so funny about a check-list of must do's, nor do i see what's so weird about being excited to see all the character's out and all the wonderful sites to see.. And...And...And..And.....
April 23rd, oh yeah it's gonna be ON!

Well Austin, the day has finally come! On January 1st, 2015 the city's new hands free law took effect, and now the use of all handheld devices is prohibited while driving a car or a bike. That's right, bikes too, you one-handed cyclists shouting at SIRI over the noise of the wind. And trucks. Of course you joggers and skateboarders are still free to text all you want for now, God save us all.
Chesapeake (VA) police officer, Barrett Ring, claims that he can come up behind cars, open his vent and smell burnt marijuana coming from the car in front of him.
Well it's been a while, but it took humor to break me out of the blog doldrums I was in. Cheers to humor, we don't get enough of that in this business. Don't get me wrong, criminal lawyers do have a sense of humor. But it's most often kept in the professional circles, much as I imagine paramedics, firefighters, or morticians joke amongst themselves. In professions where things often don't end pleasantly, finding the lighter side of things can make it easier to keep plugging along. What else you gonna do?
After a long absence from writing, I finally found a current event significant enough to sit down and blog about, and it's not Obamacare. Like a lot of other people, for a while I ended up making the best use of my liberal arts degree (Psych/Soc) by waiting tables and bartending. I was lucky enough to end up in my current career, where trying to understand the minds of people plays a large part of my daily activities, particularly in jury trials.
I got a phone call from an out-of-Stater last week about our old blog post- the Austin Bar DWI list from 2010. While talking, I realized that we had neglected to post (or see, lol) the list from 2011. Not that there's that much difference, but we do have an appearance from Antone's as well as the Yellow Rose. As before, it has more to do with the area and time you're driving than any other factor. If you're driving home from happy hour at the Dog & Duck Pub at 5 p.m., you're a lot less likely to get arrested than leaving Oilcan's at 3 a.m. Here's the top 20 Austin DWI arrest bars for 2011, according to Fox Austin
Every time I meet with a new client on a DWI case, I am reminded of all the different things I think people should know about DWI, and what they actually know. The State spends a great deal of money to give you the impression that you have no rights or choices when you are suspected of DWI. In reality, every citizen still maintains valuable rights vital to the defense of a DWI charge. Beyond rights, there are a number of things everyone should commit to memory in case they are ever charged with DWI. Think this doesn't apply to you? Even if you drink responsibly, drive, and get pulled over, more likely than not you will be arrested. Whether the charge sticks is another question, and the following simple rules can go a long way toward making sure it doesn't. With that in mind, I offer the following top 10 dos and don'ts for DWI cases in Texas:
For years, I have privately held a theory about how I think people choose a lawyer to represent them in a criminal case or DWI. It's not flattering, but it is what it is... I think it's like choosing a dentist. You don't really want to have to go, but you can't ignore it, so what do you do? You pick one and you go see them, and if they don't completely turn you off, you go ahead and hire them because you're clueless and they seem smart enough (and you don't want to have to see another one). The thought just kills me, but I still go to that same dentist and I have no idea if his work is great or awful, but I think he's all right. Just like lawyers, they're all expensive so how do you know if you should pay a premium or is a cheaper one just as good? Here's my perspective, for what it's worth. I'm not going bargain hunting when I look for a dentist, or an electrician, or a babysitter, or anything Important. A criminal charge is just not something you can afford to skimp on, not in this job market, in this age of electronic data, and certainly not if you have plans for your future. If you are charged, you should look for a trial lawyer, even if you don't even think you would go to a jury trial yourself.
I KNEW it!! Here they come again with their shiny needles, the better to stick you with! Well, I can't say it's any surprise. I mean, APD does so many no refusal weekends (or blood warrants, as others say) that it's like keeping up with your relatives' birthdays. Let's see, New Year's, Super Bowl weekend, so now Mardi Gras. Interesting that Valentine's Day is still sacred, I suppose they don't expect a lot of people driving around drunk. So drink up, lonely people, you own Valentine's!
Well just as regular as the rodeo in this state, and on February 25, 2012, it's time again for the coordinated Texas Warrant Roundup! For those of you who take care of all your business, good for you- the rest of you should really look up the info on your traffic tickets. And clear up that old bond forfeiture and check for county warrants too. Get squared up with your child support payments, or your driver license surcharges. Because the roundup is coming for you. I foresee a lot of scurrying, and a lot of laying low. Just remember that those guys sometimes come EARLY in the morning before last night has fully worn off! And whatever you do, don't be drawing any any attention to yourself out in public!

Ladakh, open to tourism only since 1974, is a land of high passes, bounded by the Karakoram and the mighty Himalayas. The Indus with its tributaries acts is the lifeline for Ladakh's scanty population.
Ladakh covers an area of 97,000 sq kms, and has an average elevation of 3,500 m. It is often called 'Little Tibet', because of its topographical and cultural similarities with neighbouring Tibet. In the early days, Ladakh played an important role being strategically placed at the crossroads of important trade routes to Central Asia. This now remains in the past, with China having sealed off the borders of Tibet and Central Asia.
The rugged, arid Ladakh mountain-scape has been the subject of many a photographer and destination of world-class mountaineers. Its brackish lakes at high altitudes, picturesque peaks, charming mountain villages, expansive meadows, wildlife, monasteries, rich heritage, awesome physical features, and remoteness sets it apart from other favourite holiday hot-spot.
Ladakh provides great opportunities for adventure sports such as river rafting, trekking, mountaineering and mountain biking. Adventure tourism has contributed in a big way to Ladakh's economy.
Ladakhis are sweet natured, hard working and fun loving people marking every occasion with festivities. There are a number of Monastic festivals held through out the year, whose dates are decided according to the Tibetan calendar. During summer, most villages hold colourful archery festivals and contests, while most of the religious and scio-cultural events are held during the winter.
The Ladakhis are largely dependent on cattle. They comprise a predominantly Buddhist population with the only exceptions of Kargil and the Suru Valley which is inhabited by Shia Muslims and share cultural similarities with Baltistan, now in Pakistan.
The main languages spoken are Ladakhi, Purik, Tibetan and English. Being in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, it is generally dry, with hot and dry temperatures during summers, and cold and dry during winters. Its winter season is long with temperatures dropping to minus zero, and summer, warm with cool nights. Temperatures of -60 have been recorded in Drass.
The best time to visit Ladakh is between May and October.
The ancient land of India portrays a landscape of vibrant cultural heritage and spiritual mysticism. This particular section invites you to lose yourself in a journey through the fascinating lanes of the country, which reflect its numerous national traits, such as art, national identity elements, cultural extravaganza, and so on. Living up to its name, this section houses information on all the elements that go on to shape this splendid nation called India, and is an enlightenment zone for anyone who wants to know all about this spiritual country.
There are many ways to reach Ladakh. Some brave souls do it by motorcycle. There are even more noble spirits, who manage it by cycling. I cannot say much about these, apart from that it will provide excellent opportunity for photography, whatever may be the hardships.

The full name of Wendel Clark is Wendel L. Clark. He was born on 25th of October in the year 1966. Wendel used to play ice hockey for the Canadian national team of ice hockey. He was included in the team of Toronto Maple Leafs which is the part of the National Hockey League. Wendel became the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs in the year 1991. He captained this particular team till the season of 1994. He played his best while he was the captain of this team. His fans gave him the nick name of Captain Crunch. Wendel played the particular game with very special technique which was a combination of physical and mind game. This particular technique helped him to gain the nick name of Captain Crunch. His style of playing ice hockey was very unique and innovative.
Since childhood Wendel Clark was very attracted towards the game of ice hockey. He played the particular game in high school and university level. He played in the position of the defenseman in the particular game. It is said when this particular player was on the field of ice hockey, he really gave a very tough competition to the opposition. In his career of ice hockey many legendary shots came from his hockey stick. In many occasions, he helped to pull his particular team to the finals and win the championship. He also played a vital role in the national team of ice hockey of Canada. Some people said that Wendel Clark played the role of the pillar in the particular team for which he performed.
Some people say that Wendel did not have the particular figure which was required for the game of hockey. Despite of having this body feature, he gave very strong competition to the opponent hockey players. In the early days of his hockey career, he really gave a tight competition to the opponent players. In many cases he succeeded in making his team proud which helped him to find a permanent place in the particular team. Wendel have a family attachment in this particular sport. Many of his cousins were included in this particular sport of ice hockey and in most cases he had to fight against his family members in order to win the game. Wendel Clark has a great record in order to stop the strong contenders on the field. But, as he grew older, he started to loose control on the particular sport of ice hockey. Another factor that became the barrier in his ice hockey career was multiple injuries. The frequent injuries did not allow him to stay as a permanent member in the team. His form became very inconsistent.

I never get many comments on environmental issues and sometimes I wonder why? I don't believe people don't care--really how can people not care?
I think sometimes people feel they can't make a difference, so why bother? But they CAN make a difference, everyone can.
I think sometimes they think they aren't educated enough to argue/discuss the issues. Do you understand that the Earth is warming up because people don't treat energy like a precious resource? That is all you need to know. Treat energy like prime rib. Make the most out of every last bite :) Or like good gin :)
It can be depressing, but life is too short to get depressed. We can't always afford to make big changes, but investigate environmental options when you have to change something--from a lightbulb to a car. Even investigate the companies you buy from, even your grocery store. See what they are doing for the environment. It is your right and my childrens' right to do so.
Recycle, Re-use, Conserve. And question.
We can all do it. I'm far from perfect, but I try everyday to be better.
World Resources Institute is a great website and NOT depressing. These people are actually achieving things.
And for the Americans, here is a Great article that is positive and powerful.

Orbital hybridization is a theory for modeling the shapes of atomic bonding orbitals and predicting molecular geometries. Orbital Hybridization is an integral part of valence bond theory, and attempts to explain how bonded atoms adhere to the VSEPR theory. Hybrid orbitals result from linearly combining the wave equations of atomic orbitals (s, p, and d) of similar energies Orbital hybridization accurately predicts bond energies for localized bonds of the main group elements, but fails when transition metals are involved.
As mentioned above, orbital hybridization is used to justify how molecules obtain their observed shapes. VSEPR theory correctly predicts the shape of many molecules, like methane, but does not address how atomic orbitals overlap to produce these structures; this is what orbital hybridization does.
To understand orbital hybridization, we need to to visualize an atom's orbitals in both the unbonded and bonded states. We will use carbon in methane as an example; thus our first step is to analyze carbon in its unbonded state. We begin by creating a valid lewis dot structure based on the electronic configuration, 1s22s22p2. We can see that carbon has four valence electrons. We draw a simple diagram (figure 1) of an unhybridized carbon by listing each valence orbital seperately, and filling them according to the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule, and Pauli exclusion principle. We will also draw out a diagram of the orbitals in carbon's unhybridized state (figure 2). Notice that the only orbitals available for bonding in the unhybridized state are the 2px, 2py, and 2pz orbitals.
Now we will look at carbon as it exists in methane.
There are many types of hybridizations, and all result from combining wave equations of orbitals of similar energies. We will discuss spx, and spdx hybridization by first examining carbon's hybridization in several molecules, and then looking at a coordinated sulfur. We begin by examining the orbitals and electronic configuartion of an unhybridized atom.
Let's look at carbon in CO2. Drawing out the lewis dot structure, we see that carbon has two sigma bonds, and two pi bonds. This implies that carbon has two 2p orbitals available for pi bonding, and two hybrid orbitals available for the sigma bonds. This configuration is called the sp hybridization, and results from taking one P orbital and combining it with the S orbital. Since two atomic orbitals went into it, we need to get two hybrid orbitals out of it, and there are two sp orbitals in the sp hybridiziation. The new valence electron diagram for carbon has two hybridized orbitals whose energies are higher than the 2s, but still lower than the 2p.
Now we are going to explore the sp2 hybridization, which results from taking two p orbitals and combining them with the s orbital. This leaves one p orbital available for a pi bond, and this is the configuration of carbon in a ketone. As always, we begin with the lewis dot structure and see that carbon now has three sigma bonds, and one pi bond. Since we need three hybridized orbitals for the sigma bonds, and one p orbital for the pi bond, we take two P orbitals and combine them with the S to form three sp2 orbitals. The new valence electron diagram for carbon has three degenerate 2sp2 orbitals whose energies are higher than the S, but lower than the P. Note that sp2 orbitals are a relatively higher energy than sp orbitals.
The last hybridization for carbon is SP3. As you may have noticed, the label of the hybridization tells us everything we need to know about the valence electron configuration: since all the p orbitals have combined with the s orbital, we have four hybrid orbitals, which means there are no p orbitals for pi bonds, hence carbon is limited to four sigma bonds in this configuration, and this is the hybridization of carbon in any alkane. Drawing out the diagram for the valence electrons, we see that there are four degenerate hybrid orbitals.
Now that we know why we hybridize orbitals, we will look at how the shapes and energies of these orbitals is determined. As mentioned above, hybrid orbitals are mathematically defined by linearly combining the wave equations of the orbitals involved. In sp, we combine the s orbital wave equation with one of the p orbital's. The sp2 and sp3 are simply the other two p orbitals mixed in. Intuitively, we can see that the hybrid orbitals are degenerate, but we will discuss the energies later.
The relative enregies of orbitals is mentioned several times above, but lets take a closer look at it now. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created, nor destroyed. That means, when we combine atomic orbital wave equations to create hybrid orbitals, we need make sure that the energies of both orbitals is acccounted for. This is the reason why an sp orbital is above the s, but below the sp2, which is below the sp3, which is lower than the p. The diagram to the right shows the orbitals' relative energies. Note that the hybridized orbitals are between the s and p energies, but never equal to them.

Taking Charge of Muslim Women's Health
In Light of October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By Sarah Jukaku
As Muslims we know that modesty, both outward and inward, is an important part of our religion. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Every faith has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty." (Malik) But what does this mean when it comes to our interactions with our doctors? And what impact might it be having on our health?
Many of us have had discussions with Muslim friends and colleagues about uncomfortable experiences at the doctor, or about the Islamic rulings regarding certain behaviors related to medical care in Islam. For me, these discussions sparked an interest in how interpretations of modesty may influence a Muslim woman's health behaviors. For my thesis in Sociology, I created a 96-question survey and asked over 250 Muslim women on MSA and mosque mailing lists across the Midwest about their attitudes toward modesty, religion, health attitudes and behaviors. Specifically, I focused on attitudes and behaviors related to sexual health and exercise.
Although some similar work has been done in this area, the few studies conducted had a small number of respondents, all of whom had immigrated to the US. In my work, I was interested in studying how religiosity affects modesty on a population level and how this may be influencing health behaviors and attitudes, especially for non-immigrant Muslim women.
First, I used my survey to assess if the personal beliefs and medical encounters regarding modesty that were experienced by my friends and I were felt by the majority. Although only God can be the judge of what is in a person's heart, in conducting this research I was forced to come up with a quantitative method to measure the survey respondents' religiosity and modesty. I found that women who fell in the highest modesty category were significantly more likely to indicate that if they felt uncomfortable during a medical exam, it was for religious reasons over anything else.
Furthermore, they were more likely to report preferences for providers who were female and Muslim, which is likely based in the opinion of the majority of Islamic scholars on this issue. Many of the women in the highest modesty group also reported feeling bothered if they requested a female physician at a visit to the doctor and received a male one instead, with many of them further indicating that they would not continue the exam with a male physician.
Finally, the results of the study also suggested that more modest women were more likely to report that they felt uncomfortable in co-ed exercise facilities, and that they felt that their interpretations of modesty made it more difficult for them to work out and stay in shape.
Although the results of my study may seem like common sense to a Muslim audience, to a non-Muslim audience these results are surprising. Many of my colleagues and professors were shocked that the majority of the women that I surveyed were highly educated, had health insurance, and were mostly born in the US. Because many Americans are unaware of the preferences of the average Muslim female patient, it is important that this information be made available to the health care community. I hope that this study will spark further research in the area, including comparative studies between Muslim and non-Muslim women's health behaviors to assess if the above results really are unique to Muslimahs. Furthermore, from the results of my study related to health attitudes and awareness, it seemed that there was some confusion about the importance of certain health behaviors and the Islamic rulings surrounding how to go about doing them, with culture as well as exposure to health and/or Islamic education likely to have been involved in influencing some of these responses.
Therefore, it is important that we as a community have a forum where our leaders can educate women in the community on Islamic rulings related to health, advising us on what to do in medical situations that Muslims in the west commonly find themselves in. Furthermore, it may also be valuable to have a discussion as a community about whether or not we should allow our young women to attend sexual health education courses in school so that they can be educated on healthy behaviors. Alternatively it may also be helpful for the Muslim community itself to offer courses in areas such as these—perhaps in the safe mother-daughter format that many churches offer—so that young people can feel that they have someone to talk to about sensitive issues such as these.
Finally, another important finding in my study was that most of the women did not exercise regularly. Many of us know that our body is an amanah (trust) given to us by God and that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ took part and excelled in activities such as wrestling and archery, and it is therefore imperative that leaders in our community discuss the importance of physical fitness, helping Muslim women to find opportunities to stay active in environments that are in sync with Islamic rulings.

Thanks for this good article. I am very happy that Suhaib Webb is helping the community tackle these important real-world issues, while other scholars are not willing or able. Allah knows best.
JazakAllah for these great findings. May Allah bless you for your efforts.Ameen:)
Thank you very much, and Mashallah especially in the united states i see many responses to studies like these, from websites, webinars and actual seminars, like practimate and "like a garment" and many more Mashallah, its amazing! May Allah bless all the people who had part on making these teachings available to the bewildered Muslim community
MashAllah, this is a very interesting article.
JazakilAllah kheir for this study. It's something I am very interested as well. I think the idea of a Masjid environment in which to teach changes experienced through puberty and sexual health for Muslim women and men would be an awesome alternative to the way sexual education is presented in schools and on college campuses.
It's awesome to see more studies coming forth about healthcare/ wellness needs of Muslims, especially from educated Muslim's themselves who have more of a cultural and religious understanding of the background.JazakilAllah kheir for the article! Hope to see more inshaAllah.
Nice one

What do our online students say about Benedictine University online?
"I wanted a school with a good reputation. I enjoyed all the classes and I did pick up stuff from every one of the classes that I use now throughout my daily activities."
David Hagerman
Online MBA Graduate 2008"I've been working in information technology for about 20 years at the same company and had finished my undergraduate degree in finance and had thought about going to a master's program. I had looked at a lot of master of business administration type of degrees and found that they were really not addressing what I think was a big issue at our company and I think in business and that's really the human side of business. So, I had looked at a number of schools in the area and came across Benedictine. The M.S.M.O.B. program completely changed the way I look at my organization.
It's the human side of everything that you think about. Because everything is organization in the way the world works."

We use an HDMI cable to connect our laptop to our plasma TV. We have streamed movies(from netflix and websites) and use the TV as a monitor for our laptop occasionally. Everything worked good.
Now when we connect the TV and laptop, the TV screen has a mostly green tint. The picture on the TV when not connected to the laptop is fine and so is the laptop monitor when used alone. I know my husband did adjust the TV picture settings recently and I wonder if that did it. But again the picture itself on our plasma is fine when viewing cable TV. I've tried adjusting the TV tint to no avail. Or do I need to play around more with the laptop settings? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks for any info. |

Since HDMI uses digital RGB or YUV signals over three separate conductors to carry the video information, a break in one of those conductors within the HDMI cable can cause problems like you describe. First thing is to try another HDMI cable. If the problem is still there, do you have another laptop, or another HDMI source, to try on your display using the original cable? Do you have another display with HDMI input that your can connect your laptop to, again using the original cable? The picture settings menus usually only affect the individual input that you have set them to. I'd say chances are the cable since it sounds like it gets a little more flexing from connecting/disconnecting to your laptop. |
Thanks for your input. I did check the cable connection, and a pin was bent. I straightened it and everything looks good now. |

The wet weather could bring along with it the possibility of power outages. But there are some simple steps you can take to prepare for this type of situation. PG&E recommends having battery-operated flashlights and radios with fresh batteries ready. Also, listen for updates on storm conditions and power outages.
If you have a telephone system that requires electricity to work, such as a cordless phone or answering machine, plan for alternate communication. PG&E suggests having a cell phone or pager ready. Other recommendations including freezing plastic containers filled with water to make blocks of ice that can be placed in your refrigerator/freezer during an outage to prevent foods from spoiling.

Al Dah to Fight in US Next
October 27, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
United Arab Emirates welterweight boxer Eisa Al Dah, also known as The Arabian Warrior, is scheduled to fight his tenth bout against as yet unconfirmed opposition on December 16 in Tampa, Florida after an invite to the USA International Boxing Championship sanctioned by the International Boxing Council (IBC).
The 32-year-old Emirati (seven wins, three losses, from nine fights, four by knock-out) has been training in the United States for the past two months with British WBA Super and IBF World Light Welterweight Champion Amir Khan. Khan fights Lamont Peterson at the Walter E Washington Convention Centre in Washington DC on December 10 to defend his titles.
Al Dah, who will fly back into the UAE on Monday before returning stateside for early November for the big fight, is hoping his famous sparring partner will enable him to reach higher competency over eight and six rounds, instead of his current four round ability.
The two-time Arab, six-time UAE and three-time West European champion, will be busy stoking support for his fight when he arrives back here this week as he looks to raise the profile of the sport in this region. Local training sessions will be taking place at Bel Rematha Sports Centre.
Having first beaten Larry Foster in 2007 via technical knock-out (TKO) in the first round at Shaikh Rashid Hall, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Al Dah went on to beat David Love by first round stoppage in 2008 at the same venue.
Al Dah also beat Karl Taylor on points at Newport Leisure Centre in Wales that same year before losing to Alfredo Valdes by second round TKO in Polanco, Mexico in 2009. Three more wins followed in the form of two points decisions either side of a second round KO against Wayne Downing and Steve Cooper in Wales, plus Matt Seawright in Knightsbridge, London [listed chronologically] all in 2009.
However, it proved to be too much in a split decision loss awarded to Anthony Woods in Florida 2010. Al Dah made up for it in front of a home crowd at the Trade Centre with a third round KO of Ignasi Caballero this February. He now seeks his first career win in the Americas, [US and Mexico] where he's previously sustained his sole losses.
Amir Khan Knocks Out Judah
July 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Amir Khan used his advantages of speed, height, and youth earlier this week and dominate his elder challenger, Zab Judah, to further unify the junior welterweight division of boxing. Khan knocked out Judah with a hard right hand in the fifth round Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the process, he added Judah's IBF junior welterweight title to his own WBA title Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
Khan, age 24, definitely looked more spritely than the 33 year old Judah. After landing punches early and often, Khan finally struck Judah in the mid-section in the fifth round. Judah fell to his knees and tried to indicate to the referee that he had a received a blow below the belt. But the referee was not buying it, and he counted Judah out, to give Khan the knockout. And replays clearly showed that the final blow was indeed a clean one.
"Zab is a great fighter, but he was a little awkward," Khan said to reporters afterward. "I knew he was getting hurt and moving away and ducking. I kept hitting him right on the face and the shot that took him down hit him right on the belt. If it had gone another few rounds, I would have knocked him out with a clean shot. I saw I was hurting him and it was only a matter of time."
Judah, with 41 wins, 7 losses, and 28 knockouts, and his promoter Kathy Duva, did not agree with the decision. "It was a low blow," Judah said. "I was trying to get myself together [when I was down] and that was self defense there [going down]. He jabbed my cup. It was an uppercut and it lifted the belt and that really hurt. The punch was clearly below his belt.
Khan (26-1, 18 KOs) was leading by a 40-36 shutout on all three scorecards at the time of the knockout. "I think my speed overwhelmed him along with my power," Khan said. "I built it up from the beginning and took my time. I could've gone with the plan to knock him out sooner, but I wanted to work my way up. I'm No. 1 in the division. Now I will go back and see who my team is going to line up for me next."
Khan was supposed to face WBC and WBO titleholder Timothy Bradley Jr., but Bradley turned down the fight despite a 50-50 offer from Khan that would have paid him possibly as much as $1.8 million. "If Bradley didn't want to fight then, he probably doesn't want to fight him now after seeing what he just did to Zab Judah," Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer told ESPN.
Bradley, for his part, still sounds uninterested. "He's not ready for the 'Storm,'" Bradley said after the fight, referring to his nickname "Desert Storm." "I'm not impressed," Bradley continued. "I know the comments that are going to be made about this, but I'm not stressing over what everyone else is saying. When we do get in the ring everyone will see who the best 140-pounder in the world is."
Under the terms of his deal with HBO, Khan is required to fight again in December, once again in the United States. "We'll see who will be available," Schaefer said. "It might be the winner of [the Aug. 27] Robert Guerrero-Marcos Maidana fight. It might be Erik Morales. But I really don't think Bradley wants to have anything to do with Amir Khan. It was a great performance. The combinations, what a talented fighter. One more fight at 140 and then in the spring move up to 147 and go get one of the big boys."
NBA and NHL Draft Results

In last week's National Hockey League draft, the Ottawa Senators selected Iranian-Swedish center Mika Zibanejad with the number six selection in the first round. Senators General Manager Bryan Murray told the Ottawa Citizen that Zibanejad will get every opportunity to make the parent club this very next season. Zibanejad is currently taking part in Ottawa's annual developmental camp.
The National Basketball Association draft was also held last week. Turkish center Enes Kanter went very high in the first round, as he was selected by the Utah Jazz with the third selection overall despite numerous rumors that had him going with Minnesota's number two selection. Kanter will join fellow Turkish center Mehmet Okur in Utah. Later in the first round, Morehead State University power forward Kenneth Faried was taken with the number 22 pick by the Denver Nuggets.
Hedo Turkoglu and the Magic Fight Back
April 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Things were looking dismal for Hidayat "Hedo" Turkoglu and his Orlando Magic team after they lost 88-85 to the Atlanta Hawks in game 4 of their NBA Eastern Conference first round series, giving Atlanta a 3-1 series lead. Shooting guard Jason Richardson of Orlando and center Zaza Pachulia of Atlanta were suspended for game 4 due to their semi-brawl in game 3. So, leading up to Sunday's game, Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy wanted small forward Hedo Turkoglu to take more open shots. However, Turkoglo was only able to muster six points, six rebounds, and two assists on an abysmal two for twelve shooting.
But things turned around in game five in Orlando, Florida. The Magic throttled the Hawks 101-76. Turkoglu contributed with nine points, two rebounds, and three assists. And that was even more points than their best player, as center Dwight Howard only had eight points and eight rebounds. But it was a collective team effort that now takes the series to Atlanta for game six. The Chicago Bulls await the winner of this series after finishing off the Indiana Pacers in five games.
Amir Khan Retains Title Belt
April 21, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan retained his WBA light welterweight title by a technical decision on Saturday against challenger Paul McCloskey in Manchester, England. The fight was stopped by the referee in the sixth round because of a nasty cut over McCloskey's left eye. The ending was somewhat controversial, as referee Luiz Pabon deemed that the cut was a result of an accidental clash of heads. He summoned ringside doctor Phil Sahu, who believed McCloskey couldn't continue with blood seeping into his eye and impairing his vision. McCloskey was livid as Pabon sent the fight to the judges for a decision. And all three judges not only had Khan leading 60-54 in the 6th round, but they also had Khan the victor in each of the first five rounds, giving Khan the technical decision.
After the fight, McCloskey's camp was adamant that the fight should not have been stopped and that he was deserving of an immediate rematch. While Khan's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, was somewhat sympathetic to McCloskey's sentiments, he was firm in stating that Khan would be moving on to other challengers in the immediate future. In fact, even before this fight, word had been circulating that a unification bout with WBO and WBC title holder Timothy Bradley had already been penciled in for July 23rd of this year in Las Vegas. With the win, Khan improved to 25-1 with 17 knockouts.
Rasheed Wallace the Lone Muslim Remaining in NBA Playoffs
May 6, 2010 by TMO · 2 Comments
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
And then there was one.
A handful of Muslim players had brought their teams to the National Basketball Association playoffs. But, Nazr Muhammad and DeSagana Diop could not get their Charlotte Bobcats out of the first round. And while Mehmet Okur's Utah Jazz team is still alive, battling the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round, Okur himself is out for the remainder of the playoffs due an Achilles tendon injury incurred in the first round. So, Rasheed Wallace now stands alone as the only Muslim still playing.
Rasheed Wallace is in his first year with the Boston Celtics, but he has achieved success at every step of his career. The 6 foot 11 inch Wallace had spent the previous 5 ½ seasons with the Detroit Pistons, having led them to an NBA title in 2004 and an NBA runner-up spot in 2005. Prior to that, he starred for the Portland Trailblazers, and took them to the Western Conference finals in 1999 and 2000. He has been a four time NBA all star. And, in college, he led the University of North Carolina to the Final Four in his sophomore season.
Wallace and the Celtics currently have their hands full with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the playoffs. But, Rasheed has seen all situations at this point in his illustrious career. There is no reason not to expect continued success.

Henry David Thoreau knew Cape Cod well, once writing that "A man may stand there and put all America behind him." Today, part of the Cape has been designated Cape Cod National Seashore. Appropriately enough, the legislation to create this remarkable site was signed into law by President John F. Kennedy, who also knew and loved the area.

HHS: How did you link up with Oddisee?
Trek Life:We met through a mutual friend named brub.Oddisee was on tour with J-Live and they were out here in LA at the House of Blues. About five or six years ago, Oddisee asked brub, Rhettmatic and some others about west coast emcees that he could work with and we were introduced. After talking about the game and music and touring and everything associated with it, we pretty much agreed on everything about how to go about things. So it started right there.
HHS:Can you talk a little about the album? I know it's very personal to you.
Trek Life: Yeah, it is. The title of the album is Everything Changed Nothing. I have a two year old daughter who means the world to me. The first album, Price I've Paid was more about becoming an adult, the pressures of adulthood and having to become an adult even when you want to be young. But with Everything Changed Nothing, it was different. I was sitting there with my daughter who was probably 6 months old at the time and I was just thinking about how no matter how much she meant to me, the outside world hadn't really changed at all. There were still people out there being foolish, bill collectors were still calling people, I had to still work and I really just had to live. So I just ran with that concept about life in general about how you can give a person everything and nothing about them will change. The concept gave from my little girl and I documented everything about my life on the record. The record is very direct and a lot of it is like therapy for me.
HHS: Is it hard to do that as an artist, to put yourself out there and let listeners get into your personal life?
Trek Life: It is, but it's getting easier for me. It was very difficult at first because there's a lot of weakness when you start to do that. Honestly, I always admired artists who could put it all down on paper. If you look at Kanye West, he talks about his entire life, even his flaws. That'll be the next stage of my writing, being able to put my flaws down without feeling that the next emcee is going to dis me with it. It took a while to get to that point.
HHS: Listening to the album you don't have the typical "west coast sound". Is that what you're going for or do you want to be viewed as a west coast emcee.
Trek Life: Yes and No. It's strange because there's a part of the west coast that continues to go unrecognized. If you look at The Pharcyde, Freestyle Fellowship and Dilated Peoples, they represent the existence of the regular, everyday, L.A. person. We tend to get either the most street perspective or the most Hollywood perspective. In between that, there are thousands of thousands of people that our music represents. So it becomes more for a city person. So a person in DC can relate, a person in New York can relate, a person in Germany can relate because they are just average people that do everyday things like skating, clowning around and talking to women. So I just like to keep that perspective of Los Angeles and if it becomes a global thing thing that's a bonus. But I always like to present that there's a less glamorous and less violent part of L.A.
HHS: Right, groups like P.U.T.S and Dilated and artists like MURS are able to rep where they are from without necessarily having to talk about street shit.
Trek Life: You get a city perspective about L.A., but now you're hearing more of the suburban perspective, more people from the outskirts, more people from the Valley and the 9-0-9 because they have a voice now.
HHS: How about touring? Whats your schedule for that as the album makes it way out there?
Trek Life: Oddisee and I always do Europe in February and March. We've been doing that for 4 years. We'll probably do New York and Atlanta in October, but the main tour is always in February and March.
HHS: What do you want people to take from the album?
Trek Life: That it's okay to be a father and an emcee. It's okay to be vulnerable and an emcee. It's okay to put your experiences on paper. I want people that disagree with me to know that it's okay. It's okay to give your personal perspective and not necessarily have to embellish. I want people to also feel comfortable in writing down their own experiences and challenging my experiences.
HHS: How about collabos? You obviously got down with Oddisee for this, but are there any artists that you're looking to work with?
Trek Life: Umm, rhyme-wise, I've worked with people that I want to work want with. I definitely want to work with yU, he's one of my favorites artists out right now. I'm a big fan of Fashawn and the energy that he brings. But otherwise it's just production. My man J.Bizness, I want to constantly do records with him. I'm finishing this up this project with Babu.But the dream producer work with at this point I want to definitely work with is 14-kt.
HHS:Beyond this new album are there other projects that you're working on?
Trek Life: I'll be doing a JB3P, a three song EP that J.Bizness produces that he's been putting up every month. I'll be doing one of those in November. I'm working on a project with Babu tentatively titled Fire Outside. We're looking at early next year for that one.
HHS: Any last words?
Trek Life: Of course shout out to Oddisee and J.Bizness. Without them, I pretty much would have been done with this. And to anybody that listens. Listen, get your perspective, like it, love it, hate it. If you don't like it, I'm not upset, just realize that it was 100% genuine.

Program Overview
The Explore Program is an intensive five-week French language bursary program which takes place during the spring or summer sessions at various institutions across Canada. It is designed to help you discover another region of Canada, meet new people, and exchange ideas while improving your knowledge of French.
It should be noted that knowing French is very beneficial in Canada as it opens up job opportunities that may not be accessible otherwise. For example, several job placements in the Canadian government require knowledge of French and being bilingual is often listed as an asset on job descriptions.
Program duration:The program runs for five (5) weeks during the spring or summer session:
- Spring: May – June
- Summer: June-July or July-August
The program takes place at several institutions across Canada, specifically in Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Minimum requirements
- You must be a Canadian citizen OR Permanent Resident of Canada to be eligible for the $2,200 bursary. International students may apply but will be responsible for paying the full program costs to the host institution (please contact the ISC if you are an interested international student).
- You must be a student in grade 11 or higher.
- You must be a full-time student for at least one semester of the year you apply in.
- If you are graduating before the summer, you are still eligible to apply for the program, but will not be eligible to earn transfer credits.
Transfer Credit eligibility
It is possible to receive transfer credit if you:
- Attend one of the Explore degree-granting institutions which is ALSO a university (not college).
- Are eligible to receive a conversational French credit. You are allowed a maximum of 1.0 FCE in conversational French at each year level, including conversational credits taken at U of T. For example: If you took FREA17H3 (Conversational French I) before participating in a first-year level Explore program, you would only be considered for an additional 0.5 FCE in Conversational French at the A-level, even if the Explore program is the equivalent of 1.0 FCE.
- Have a copy of your official final transcript sent directly from the host institution to the Office of the Registrar for assessment. Transcripts issued directly to you are invalid and cannot be used.
NOTE: Your French level will be determined by the Program Supervisor of the French Department at UTSC.
Deadline and Applications
First choose which institution you want to go to for the program, then complete and print the on-line application. Note that you will have to register on the website to access the application. Attach a photocopy of your birth certificate OR proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status. Send this application package to the Program Coordinator in your home province by the end of February.
NOTE: you are required to provide a photocopy of your SIN card to the host institution to which you are accepted.
Selection for the program
A computer database randomly selects students for the program. Most students will be placed at their first choice institution, but once that institution's capacity is reached, a drawn student may be placed at another institution. People who are not drawn will be automatically placed on the waiting list.
Please note that your placement is final, except in extreme circumstances.
Results of your application
In in early April, you will receive a letter from the provincial coordinator indicating your status in the program (whether you are accepted or waitlisted). If you are waitlisted, be patient as spots can open up if a candidate decides to drop out.
If you are accepted you will also receive an acceptance package from your host institution by email around the same time. You are expected to complete and submit the acceptance package (including the transfer credit procedure below, if you want to apply for credit during the program) within two weeks (10 days) to reply or risk losing the bursary to students on the waitlist.
*no acceptance package is received from U of T*
Transfer credit procedure
- Go online and print and fill out the Letter of Permission package (LoP). Consult Prof. C. Beauquis, Supervisor of Study Elsewhere for French (room HW423, email@example.com) for advice about choosing courses of an appropriate level and that most closely correspond to the curriculum at the University of Toronto.
There are three levels of difficulty: • Beginner • Medium • Advanced - Return the signed LOP and application package to Admissions and Recruitment in AA128 with the required $25 LoP fee. Course descriptions are required with your completed application, but if you cannot get them, then you must hand in the course descriptions after returning from the program.
REMEMBER: You must complete and submit the acceptance package (after completing the transfer credit process, if applicable) back to the host university within 2 weeks (10 days) of receiving it. If the application is not submitted within this time frame, your spot will be given to someone else on the waitlist
Costs and Bursary
There is no application fee, however if accepted, you are expected to pay a $$250 non-refundable registration fee and a deposit (amount of the deposit varies by institution) to your host institution. If you are applying for transfer credits to UTSC, you will need to pay the $25 LoP fee.
Your host institution is given a bursary worth $2,200 which covers your costs for tuition fees for the course, instructional materials, meals and accommodation.
You are responsible for your transportation to and from the host institution, as well as spending money.
Applying as a non-bursary student (*option for International students)
Some of the institutions offer their courses to non-bursary students. If you are an international student and would like to participate in the Explore program, you may still apply but will have to pay for your own course materials, accommodation, meals and tuition (approximately $2200-$3000).
The host institution is responsible for providing you with accommodation, usually in student residence on campus or with a home stay family whose members speak French. You are not allowed to change your accommodations during the stay. You will be told exactly where you will stay prior to the start of your course by the host institution.
Placement tests
At the beginning of the program, you will be given a placement evaluation. This will help the host institution organize students by level of proficiency. It is important to do your best on the placement test, because if you are placed in a lower level than the level assigned by U of T Scarborough, you may not be able to receive a transfer credit. This is especially true if the level that you are placed in covers repeat material that you have already studied. A final evaluation will be administered by the instructor to see how much you have improved over the course of the program.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of participating in the Explore Program?
The Explore Program will allow you to improve and practice your French in a francophone environment. You will also get to see and discover another culture in Canada.
Where do I submit the completed Application?
- The initial application for consideration must be sent to the relevant provincial coordinator before the February deadline.
- Once you have received the acceptance package, it can be submitted it in person to Admissions and Recruitment in AA128
If I'm a first-time applicant, do I have a higher chance of being selected?
Priority is given to first-time applicants. If you have applied in a previous year but were not selected to participate in the Explore Program, you are still considered as a first-time applicant.
Do I have to stay in the accommodation provided by the Explore program?
Yes. Staying in a student residence or with a home stay family allows for a better immersion experience. The cost for accommodation is covered by the bursary.

Tsunami updates in Lincoln County on March 11
Latest Tsunami updates
Updates are still coming in from the Central Coast. Yet, early word is, the best case scenario seems to be playing out in that region.
Visit www.lincolncountytoday.com for more up-to-date information.
8:22 am - ALL Lincoln County schools are closed today.
12:06 pm - Red Cross shelters are open throughout coastal towns.
1:25 pm - TSUNAMI WARNING STILL IN EFFECT
The Lincoln County Emergency Operations Center continues to be activated and is providing this update at 1:25 pm…
Please, "Stay Off the Beach!" We continue to experience wave surges in the Depoe Bay area, and elsewhere. Until we receive the "all clear" announcement from NOAA the tsunami warning is still in effect.
Sometime before noon, Depoe Bay harbor experienced a wave surge that lifted one boat onto a dock, damaging the dock. Depoe Bay Coast Guard is monitoring the boats and docks with pumps on standby for bilge pumping if needed. No other damage has been reported.
Lincoln County Emergency Services is acting on information provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service. We are still uncertain about when the tsunami warning will be lifted. As a result, all people who are in tsunami inundation zones should remain evacuated to a minimum height of 50 feet above sea level.
A tsunami event contains a series of waves for a period of hours following the initial wave. As a result we are advising that citizens please wait for final word from authorities before returning to areas below 50 feet until an "all clear" has been announced.
Citizens are advised to monitor local news sources for further updates on the tsunami warning information.
Citizens are also reminded not to proceed to the beaches and not to panic.
Do not call 911 unless a true emergency exists. Lincoln County Schools are closed.
To reach Lincoln County Public Information Officer, Casey Miller: 541-265-0211 firstname.lastname@example.com
2:05 pm - TSUNAMI WARNING HAS BEEN LIFTED. LOCAL AUTHORITIES PREFER PEOPLE NOT BE ON BEACHES FOR THE TIME BEING.
Repeated sets of tsunami waves have begun gently coming ashore on the Central Coast. The pattern is very high tide then the water retreats to very low tide. High tide, low tide, high tide, low tide. Although it's more of a water slide, back and forth, there are reports that the tsunamis are bashing the California coast, including Crescent City and Santa Cruz. Many pleasure boats have been lost in the swirling waters. Three Depoe Bay boats survived a Tsunami that sent ocean water swirling inside the world's smallest habor, sending one boat up onto Port Dock one, cutting it in two.
Fire rescue personnel are warning people to STAY OFF THE BEACHES BECAUSE TSUNAMI CURRENTS COME IN VERY FAST leaving visitors no where to go but to their graves.
There were 144 people sheltered last night at Newport Middle School, 300 at Taft High School and 150 at Crestview Heights School in Waldport.
A message from Newport Mayor Mark McConnnell reportrf that Newport's sister city Mombetsu on the northern side of the north island of Hokkaido Japan are all doing well. The report is that the quake is the biggest in Japan's history. Much of eastern japan has been damaged. 4.4 million residents of Tohoku are without power. Public transportation is down, including in Tokyo.
Click the link for information from the American Red Cross about the earthquake and Tsunami in Japan.
Inquiries concerning U.S. citizens living or traveling in Japan should be referred to the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Citizens Services at 1-888-407-4747 or 202 647-5225.
For inquiries about relatives living in Japan who are not US citizens, encourage the members of your community to keep calling or to try contacting other family members who live in the region. Even though communication networks overloaded right now, the situation may change and access to mobile networks and the internet may improve.

"Bare Light" is that odd peach-colored, faux-flesh color that cosmetics manufacturers think is actually the color of a significant population of the world, but I digress. It'd probably work for most LLLs and MMMs since this is an illuminating lotion and not a foundation (I am a LLL-MMM/AAB by the way). There are also tiny gold sparkles in this that are only visible up-close. A squirt of this mixed with your foundation (be warned: it will lighten the shade somewhat) or daily moisturizer will help subtly spruce up your complexion. The oily should perhaps stay away (or go with the powder version) as this gives a dewy look that may look greasy on some. Personally, I only use it on my cheeks and around my eyes and avoid the T-zone area altogether (I have combination skin). Makes me look bright and healthy, somehow. Feels a little greasy upon first application but doesn't make me oilier than usual. Does not rub off and the color doesn't do strange things after a few hours.
I do despise the packaging (an unholy combination of squeeze tube and pump that is just so unwieldy and messy) with all my soul, but I can deal with it. There's also a fairly strong fragrance that is not entirely unpleasant, but eerily familiar. I've been going slightly batty trying to figure out what it is--I'll update when I figure that out. It's not cheap at almost 12 USD, but you do get scads of product. Overall, this is a rather nice product and I would repurchase.
continued >>
My oily skin tends to shine on its own right, no matter what I try to do with it... But for the heck of it, I thought I'd try this highlighter powder, having never tried anything like this before. I was surprised to find out that my face can shine in a nice way! I brush it on my cheekbones, temples, sometimes also the bridge of my nose and on my chin. Makes my just-applied powdered foundation look so much softer and sheerer. The colour is great too, I'm a PPP/LLL with cool undertones and it looks very subtle. I might get another pot in Natural Light, for variety. Not that this is ever going to run out!
Me: Olive NC30
You get a ton of product for a good price. I use it on the bridge of my nose and cheeks, and sometimes sweep across my lid to brighten my eyes. Love the wonderful smell also. I'd definately repurchase but I don't think I'll ever run out! continued >>
I have the powder version of this, and it is just amazing!!!!!!! It is the best highlighter I have ever used. I usually dust this over my face after I've finished applying all my makeup, and it just gives me such a lovely healthy glow! This is such a staple, I am so pleased I found this. There really isn't any need to try higher end brands, this stuff rocks!

Seriously, what's not to love about this? It has spf, it makes ur skin look fab, and it's not as expensive as chanel illuminators. it's one of those excellent drugstore finds. I do wish that the pump wasn't on the bottom...and was on the top instead.....But other than that, it's perfect! I use warm light when I get tanned...and I wear this under foundation or alone. When I wear this, I get craploads of compliments.... where would I be without this?
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this stuff, and use it everywhere: brow bone, cheekbones, inside corner of the eyes, collarbone, I've even used it on my lips with clear gloss over it! It smells great, comes in a nice hard tube (no breaking!), and one tube lasts ages! A staple, especially for summer.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a great luminizer. I mix 1 part this to 2 parts diorskin fluide foundation, and my face get the perfect amount of dewy-ness. I actually prefer this to my Becca SSP in pearl! You can use this over cheekbones as well to give a nice glow (although I tend to use powders and highbeam for that) It's also very cheap and will last very long because you only need a little bit each time. The shade warm light is also great to use.
Wow - I must be paying too much for my cosmetics. I find this to be a great, inexpensive highlighter. I use across the bridge of my nose, around my eyes and on top of cheekbones, and up to my temples for a nice, bright, shimmer; mostly, for night. The shimmer looks pinkish to me, on my skin, and is brightening but not glittery-looking. I typically use the included brush so that I don't get shimmer on my regular powder brush... and I, personally, like the brush and packaging generally. One lippie taken off because sometimes I suspect this product of triggering breakouts -- I'll update if I can narrow down that suspicion.
I received this in a swap recently and WOW - I can't believe how much I like this stuff based on just one day of owning/using it. It gives the perfect amount of glow that is easy for you to manipulate, depending on how much you want to use. It has slight gold undertones and definitely achieves the dewy look. Definitely subtle and light. The packaging kind of bothers me, though. Way too bulky to be carried in a makeup purse. I like this stuff - I would buy if I ever run out.

The addition of richly flavored dried mushrooms and whole-grain bulgur in this meatloaf increases the vitamins and minerals and decreases the saturated fat. The loaf is free-form, rather than baked in a loaf pan, which means more delicious, browned crust. This recipe is large enough to feed a big group or, even better, have leftovers for a cold sandwich the next day.

- 1 cup(s) dried mushrooms, such as shiitake, porcini, or chanterelle
- 1 cup(s) bulgur (see Ingredient Note)
- 1 cup(s) boiling water
- 2 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 stalk(s) celery, chopped
- 2 clove(s) garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon(s) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 can(s) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 cup(s) nonfat evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup(s) ketchup
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 1/2 pound(s) 90%-lean ground beef
- 1 cup(s) fine dry breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup(s) chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- Place mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with warm water; let stand for 30 minutes. Combine bulgur with the boiling water in another small bowl and let soak until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the liquid; trim stems and coarsely chop caps.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat and add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cook for 3 minutes, scraping the pan well as the mixture becomes sticky. Add tomatoes, evaporated milk, and ketchup; stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture is very thick, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Whisk egg and egg whites in a large bowl. Add beef, breadcrumbs, the soaked bulgur, the mushrooms, and the tomato mixture. Stir in parsley, thyme, and salt. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands.
- Mound the meatloaf mixture into a free-form loaf on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips & Techniques
Note: Bulgur is made by parboiling, drying and coarsely grinding or cracking wheat berries. Don't confuse bulgur with cracked wheat, which is simply that cracked wheat. Since the parboiling step is skipped, cracked wheat must be cooked for up to an hour whereas bulgur simply needs a quick soak in hot water for most uses. Look for it in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets, near other grains, or online at kalustyans.com.
