Which Ice Cream Packs Flavor, Least Fat?
Everyone has a food they hate. But nobody -- at least nobody I've ever met -- hates ice cream. It may not be your very favorite dessert. It may be something you haven't eaten in years, but you don't hate it.
According to the International Dairy Foods Association, the average American consumes 21.2 quarts of ice cream per year, for a total of 1.6 billion gallons. The favorite flavor, as it has been as long as such statistics are kept, is vanilla, with 26 percent of the market.

Dons enjoy Good Liffe late on
AFC Wimbledon skipper Jason Goodliffe is hoping he can lift his strike rate in a bid to chase down Ryman League Premier Division leaders Chelmsford City. The 33-year-old centre back bundled in an injury-time winner to hand the Dons a 2-1 triumph over Margate on Tuesday - moments after lashing a close range volley well wide. It put Wimbledon's play-off hunt back on track after Saturday's disappointing defeat at Heybridge Swifts by the same score. But Goodliffe has not given up hope of claiming the title, warning his team mates of the mistakes they have made in the past. "I've been short on goals this year, but that is my third and hopefully it will be the catalyst for a few more by the end of the season," he said. "It is all about getting as many points as we can to keep the pressure on Chelmsford, so if they have a bit of a blip we are ready to move on them.
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.

Unwrap something sweet this season
Nutrition: "I stick to whole wheat everything, stay away from refined sugars and I read the label on everything. When I eat something, I ask myself, `What can my body use from this?' if the answer is nothing ... I just don't put it in my mouth. Oh, and I eat all day... little bits all day. The body is like a stove, if you want to keep the fire burning calories all day, keep it going." What drives you: "Dancing is my all- time favourite way to work out. It's such a release. You get to be creative and expressive and energetic, and in striptease, even sexy. You sure can't get all that from a treadmill." .
Tending to cycling's emergencies
Slipstream's team doctor Prentice Steffen received his first race emergency call of the season early this year while at the Tour of Qatar. In the fifth stage, the team's lead-out train went down when Swede Magnus Backstedt clipped a wheel in the final kilometre and fell, taking down his team-mates Chris Sutton and Julian Dean. Steffen, who was in the second caravan car, was on the scene quickly, and was able to make sure the riders received the proper care. With his riders on the tarmac in agony, Steffen swiftly put the skills he's honed during his years of emergency medicine practice. "In part, it proved why it's good to have a team doctor at the race. If I hadn't been there, he'd have been hauled off to some local hospital and who knows how long it would have been before he was treated," Steffen said.
