The pair enters a nearby dressing room, and Ellen briefly hikes up her skirt and blouse to show DiGeronimo the body parts that so disturb her. She points to her thighs and then she grabs her abdomen. He tells her, "You see when you pinch the fat that some of it is thinner and some of it is fatter; liposuction will reduce those areas. But we have to leave some fat there."
"Why?" she asks.
He laughs but doesn't offer any lectures about the necessity for a minimum amount of body fat for, say, survival or menstruation. Instead he reassures her that it's needed for proportion's sake. "And if you do lose some weight, you'll look even better," he tells the woman who considers herself a recovering anorexic.
"I used to be perfect without this," she grouses, touching her stomach.
When they return to DiGeronimo's office, she presses him about a more extreme operation, a "tummy tuck," but he tells her, "You'll do fine with liposuction." He then bluntly describes the harsh realities of the procedure: "What it takes are some puncture sites, small little incisions that I insert a little tube in, in an area that doesn't show too much. The operation itself takes under two hours, and you'll have some puncture sites after the operation that are black and blue for a month or even two."
Despite his description of the procedure, she's eager to go ahead. But because she's still doctor-shopping, she doesn't commit to a specific date during this visit. Ultimately she selects a Broward physician, Dr. Melvin Propis, because, as she later explains, DiGeronimo "was kind of limited in what he wanted to do." Propis, she adds, has agreed to do liposuction, a breast lift, and a chin implant. Ellen observes, "Whether it's necessary or not isn't the point. I want the optimal look."
It is somehow fitting that in Miami, a place where people often come to start their lives over, they also choose to stake out new ground in yet another frontier: their own bodies. Body parts, like so much else here, are considered malleable and transitory. In DiGeronimo's office, he and his staff encourage the view that the body can be easily altered (although they also disclose the pain and risks that may be involved in surgery, such as infections and cardiac arrest). The idea of the changeable self is most effectively promoted in a little room in which DiGeronimo shows patients computerized images of themselves.
For Alice, the before-and-after photos are just part of her efforts to determine if the doctor can make the precise improvements she wants. At first glance, when she's talking to the doctor in his office, it's hard to see what -- if anything -- about herself she wants to change. Dressed in a trim business outfit, she's a strikingly pretty woman. But something troubles her. "I want a small nose," she says, running her finger over a modest bump on her nose. "It's really the bone in here that bothers me."
"That can be filed down," DiGeronimo tells her.
"I was also thinking of a chin implant," she adds, believing it would help make her nose look even smaller. "You're not really a candidate for that," he says after a moment's deliberation. Then, with an almost jaunty air, he adds, "Let's go down to have a computer profile. Just tell me how much you want to take off."
They pass through a door -- ringed by a horseshoe-shape display of gold-colored metal leaves and a Roman numeral -- and enter a room with a camera, TV monitor, and photo printer. He has her pose for a side shot of her face, freezes it on the right side of the screen, then sits down with a white electronic sketch pad and begins moving around what looks like an oversize pencil. "Let's work on your nose," he says. On the left side of the screen, a little pointer starts moving back and forth, erasing the bump. "We want to smooth off the bone by filing it down," he remarks, almost as if it could be done that simply in the operating room.
"It still looks big," she complains.
"You want me to make it shorter?" he asks, as the nose changes shape again.
"I'd like it to go up a little on the end," she adds.
With that, DiGeronimo also takes a front photo of her, and, at her request, makes her nose look thinner. She goes over to a machine, presses a button, and watches as Polaroids of her old and new selves emerge. She studies the pictures carefully. "I think it looks a lot better," she concludes.
Ultimately the doctor will make clear to her -- as he does with all his patients -- that he can achieve only a close approximation of the look in the photos. But for now, he lets the pictures subtly sell her on his services: The new, improved Alice seems to be within her reach at the press of a button.
Alice is no stranger to cosmetic surgery. Now 30 years old, she had her breasts "augmented" nine years ago, and has been hungering to have a nose job for about four years. She isn't fazed by the higher-than-average costs cited by DiGeronimo's office -- $4475, including follow-up supplies and drugs -- or the views of her boyfriend, friends, and family. "People around me think I'm crazy to have it done," she notes. But now she has the Polaroids that show her how she can be remade, spurring her toward the operating room and the promise of a renovated self. "It's a vain thing," Alice admits. "It's all about appearances."

How to integrate SAP Back-end systems with MQ Series?
Thanks & Regards
Ravi shankar B
Halo experts,
I have a similar requirement..
Via message control, is it possible to create and send an XML file?
.....that is to create a message automatically on invoice creation.
Using SAP XI we can connect SAP system to MQ series. JMS adapter in XI can be used to connect MQ series. Based on requirement, XI to SAP system connections shoul be chosen.
Find the link below
The link talks about sonic MQ but it is relevant for IBM MQ also
you have multiple ways...
As stated via XI and JMS provider
Via ALE and JCO => create the xml message and put to MQ
Via ALE and MQ-Link for R3 (in idoc format)
The question is really how much are you willing to spend on it...
Hi Brandelik,
could you indicate me where I can find some documentation?
Best Regards,
We have had good results by using the MQ Series JMS Driver loaded into PI. Here are links to the information you will need to get going...
JMS Adapter FAQ
XI / JMS Powerpoint
Using Content Conversion Module to get MQ Message format in and out of XML.
Using JMS Adapter filter to allow multiple message types per queue
Hi Aaron,
thanks for your answer: but can I use MQ Series without XI/PI ?
To do it without SAP's integration tool you would rely mainly on IBM's Webshpere integration capabilities. You would probably use IBM's own adapter on the Websphere side to communicate directly to the SAP business system using the methods it knows how to communicate with namely IDOCS or BAPI. I don't know for sure because we went the PI/XI route. You may find more help from a forum hosted by IBM because this forum is not always active.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Have a look at the heaviest thing in the universe (really)!
By Marshall Connolly (Catholic Online)
August 17th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Question: What's the heaviest thing in the universe? Answer: SPT-CLJ2344-4243, and it weighs about 2.5 quadrillion times the mass of our sun. And it doesn't look like this heavyweight will be shedding any pounds in the near future. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - If you're still trying to get our head around that figure, don't bother because the figures are quite literally astronomical. Conversely, it should make you feel a little less guilty about the last time you skipped the gym.
What we're really talking about is a galaxy cluster, a grouping of galaxies that astronomers say may be the most massive yet observed. And because SPT-CLJ2344-4243 makes for a mouthful of a name, they have dubbed it the Phoenix Cluster, based on its relative location in the constellation Phoenix. Astronomers now know the universe has structure, much like a young man's first attempt at making mashed potatoes. It's lumpy! This unevenness however, is part of the genius to the universe's design. The universe as we know it could not exist if not for the lumpiness. Each lump is characterized by clusters of galaxies. Clusters are groups of galaxies that are mutually bound by gravity, distinct from other clusters. Our Milky Way galaxy is just one galaxy in a cluster of its own, and this is true for most galaxies - they can be grouped into clusters. Our address is in the Local Group of the Virgo Supercluster. The Phoenix Cluster was first discovered in 2010 at a distance of 5.7 billion light-years. The number of stars in its central galaxy exceeds 3 trillion and researchers claim to be observing stars forming at the rate of 740 or more per year in that one galaxy alone. By comparison, the Milky Way is believed to contain no more than 200 billion stars and creates one, maybe two new stars each year. The cluster's central galaxy is itself just one galaxy of thousands spanning a distance of 7.3 million light years across, possibly making it the largest group of objects bound by common gravity in the universe. Researchers care about these objects because they provide critical insights into how the universe was formed. They also give us a better understanding of how stars are formed and what processes promote rapid star formation. The answers to these questions both satiate our natural curiosity and provide clues to how physical processes work on Earth. The techniques used to evaluate and measure the various features of the cluster also enable us to detect and assess various conditions right here on Earth. In other words, the science isn't entirely esoteric, there is a practical side to the research. Scientists hope to continue studying the Phoenix Cluster in the hopes of making more refined measurements. As their understanding increases, so too does their knowledge of the universe and what physical processes were set in motion to form it. In the meantime, don't feel so bad about that extra treat you enjoyed over the weekend, for no matter what you'll never weigh as much as SPT-CLJ2344-4243.

The day of âArafah and the fast thereon is the ninth day of the month of Dhuâl-Hijjah, which is defined for each country according to their sighting of the new moon of Dhuâl-Hijjah. So it may be on Thursday for the people of Makkah, and for others it may be on Wednesday or Saturday. It is not essential to follow the people of Makkah when there are differences in the sighting of the new moon. This is the most correct of the scholarly views, that each country has its own sighting when there is a difference concerning that.
If the Muslims in britain have sighted the new moon, then the Muslims in that country should follow their sighting, otherwise they should follow the sighting of the country closest to them. See the answer to question no. 40720.
There is a great deal of virtue in offering supplication (duâaaâ) on the day of âArafah, because of the hadeeth of âAbd-Allah ibn âAmr ibn al-âAas (may Allah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: âThe best of supplication is supplication of the day of Arafat, and the best of what I and the Prophets before me said is: Laa ilaaha illa Allah wahdahu, laa shareeka lah, lahuâl-mulk wa lahuâl-hamd wa huwa âala kulli shayâin qadeer (There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, to Him be praise, and He has power over all things).â
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3585) and classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1536.
Does this virtue apply only to those who are in âArafat, or does it include other places too?
Concerning that there is a difference of opinion among the scholars, which has been discussed previously in the answer to question no. 70782
According to the opinion that it includes other countries and places too, the same may be said concerning it as is said above. So each person should offer supplication on the ninth day of Dhuâl-Hijjah, according to the sighting of the new moon in his country, even if the pilgrims stood in âArafat on the previous day or will do so on the following day.
And Allah knows best.

Never before has Bollywood seen a star who can garner collections beyond `100 crore just for being on screen. If a producer can get Salman Khan to sign on the dotted line, he doesn't need to bother with the storyline, the rest of the cast, exotic locations..., the film is guaranteed to be a hit.
Right from his Maine Pyaar Kiya days, Salman's popularity had soared and once he went bare-chested in the song O O Jane Jana, there was no looking back. "Yes, it happened by chance. Thanks to Sohail for making me go shirtless! My designer had stitched the shirt extra tight and the buttons would not close and Sohail said, 'You look sexy... let's shoot you like this'," says Salman.
There have been a few films that have not done well and the superstar says that he has learnt his lesson. "I remember Veer, a script written by me for the first time, could not attract my fans. I learnt my lesson from this film and have decided to keep the final cut of the film within my premise. Reducing the length of Veer was a Herculean task for me as director Anil Sharma refused to budge."
The Khans are now planning a third edition of Dabangg after the successes of the first two editions of the film. "Yes, Dabangg has become a brand now, but there was a lot of criticism before its release. My friends too felt it's a rural, rustic film and nothing much would come of this cop Pandey. Before the script reached me, it had been rejected by various producers for over two years. However, the film turned out to be a bumper success.
The sequel too has fared well and we are now planning D3. I feel it is my duty to keep my fans happy. And as long as I can give what they want I will be the happiest actor on earth.
"I am not proud about being popular but yes I am proud about giving my fans their worth. Also I feel that a Hindi film has to be made according to the pulse of the audiences.
After Amitabh Bachchan in KBC, Salman too has been a superstar on TV with Dus ka Dum and Bigg Boss. "TV brings stars into your bed room. It also helps every actor exist and satisfy his/her passion of acting. There are many talented actors on the small screen. I like Bigg Boss and I decided to host it again."
At a recent awards ceremony, Salman danced with TV actors who could not believe their luck. The star, who was lauded for his easy-going attitude with juniors, says, "I become snooty only when someone tries to throw his/her weight unnecessarily."
The TV stars were happy to dance with me but I must say I was equally happy to be on stage dancing with them. Moreover, (with a wink) I was paid to dance with them."
He says that his father, Salim Khan, helps him stay grounded. "My father is my biggest strength. He tells me to listen to my heart."
Salman has also been instrumental in setting up or resurrecting the career of many, from Govinda in Partner, Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg to a guest appearance in Son of Sardaar and helping Suniel Shetty's daughter launch her career. "There is no harm in giving a chance to upcoming talent. I could see the potential in Sonakshi… She is a big hit because she is talented. Govinda too has come the hard way; the character suited him in Partner and so David (Dhawan) opted for him. Yes! Ajay too is my friend and I was asked to do a cameo and I accepted. We are all a family in this industry." However, Salman's off-screen relationships have taken up many more pages of gossip magazines than his good deeds. "I have been quite open about my relationships. I would unhesitatingly answer all queries but the media always painted me in a different light. My name got linked sometimes even before I could declare my love for the lady… the media would print it before I could do so, resulting in my ideas going fatt."
The media had earlier given me the 'bad boy' tag; it makes no difference to me, I am what I am, though I would liked to be called simply 'Salman.'"

The emotional intelligence construct has been introduced in recent years to the field of educational psychology. However, very little research has evaluated the extent to which it shapes the roles played by pupils in school contexts. Some previous studies have shown that meta-mood about one's own emotions, perceived emotional intelligence (PEI), can distinguish students involved in bullying from those not involved. This study tries develops this area of knowledge by specifically focusing on cyberbullying situations where bullying is mediated by the use of information and communication technologies. Participants were 5759 adolescent students from Andalucia (South of Spain). The results show that PEI can discriminate between the roles young people play in traditional bullying but not for cyberbullying. These results are discussed according to possible differences in emotional management across bullying and cyberbullying.

Debi Berndt, Author
I Believe
Your ideal partner is looking for someone just like YOU - there is nothing to change, only learn to accept who you really are! -Debi Berndt
About Me
I am the author of the bestselling new book, LET LOVE IN: OPEN YOUR HEART & MIND TO ATTRACT YOUR IDEAL PARTNER (Wiley 2010) nominated by About.com for BEST DATING BOOK IN 2010! I am the co-founder of Creative Love(r) with my partner, Dr. Roberto Maldonado, psychologist and relationship and Jungian specialist.
I've been around block in love as well as in the media. My work has been featured by ABC News, ABC Radio Network, FOX News, NBC News, COSMOPOLITAN, NATURAL HEALTH, PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, COMPLETE WOMAN, PLAYBOY RADIO and many more media outlets. I am also a highly-trained certified clinical hypnotherapist and certified life coach and instructor at the International Academy of Jungian Spiritual Psychology.
I have helped thousands of single men and woman across the world find true love with by creating Conscious Chemistry (tm) with the person who is meant for the true you.. Visit my Love Advice Blog and get a free downloadable Why You Are Single Video Series at CreativeLove.com I live in Santa Monica, CA with the love of my life, Robert, and my business partner. Who knew that after 40, I could find a man this smart, sexy and wonderful. I know you can too!
The Reason I Became A Helping Professional
I wasn't always a dating expert. Just like Thomas Edison had to try a thousand times before he discovered the light bulb, I had to suffer over a thousand heartaches before I finally got my love life on track and met my wonderful life partner. My search for love has lead me down a path to help others increase confidence, discover their passion and get their mind in the right place to attract the love they deserve. I started this work in 2000 and have been helping people ever since to discover their own inner beauty and gifts so that they can attract what they are worthy of in life.
I approach my work as a partner in your quest for love from the standpoint of someone who has been out there and knows how hard it is. I know the heartache, the depression, the feeling left out, the infatuations with Mr. Wrongs and the meaningless flings that I convinced myself would turn into something more. I've been there and it can be extremely frustrating and lonely being single. You see, you have all the knowledge already at this point. You know what you need to do, you just need to find a way to love yourself unconditionally.
You are not broken or need to be fixed. All you have to do is realize that and relationships will be much easier for you. Our Creative Love Process uses a unique three-part process including my ground-breaking advanced visualizations. It helps you retrain your thinking which leads to the actions and feelings that drive your experience. By discovering how wonderful you are on the inside, you will soon emulate that image out into the world.
My program is developed by psychologist Dr. Roberto Maldonado using the latest research in social neuroscience, western psychology and eastern philosophy. Much of our program is based on the work of Carl Jung and the individuation process.
You don't have to fix yourself or play dating games. No more games, no rules of conduct, just simply stepping into your power as an amazing person. No matter what happened in the past, in this moment you can be the wonderful you.

Let Love In Book Review - It works!
This book really says it all. It gets right into our subconscious minds and changes our old patterns. I've also been a client of Debra's and have been doing private hypnosis sessions, which I love. I feel so much better than when I first started. I just finished the book, even though I have had it for over a month, one reason is that I wanted to really do the exercises and take it all in. Therefore, I am finally feeling good and men are finally recognizing my worth and I am also recognizing my worth. I am finally attracting respectful, nice, honest and ATTRACTIVE men. Things are finally kicking in thanks to Debra and her book "Let Love In"...Because I am ready to give and receive LOVE! Thank you Debra!!!
-LC, Philadelphia, PA
Best investment of my life
Debra's book and our sessions have been one of the best investments I have made in myself. Through the work we have been doing together the past five months, I have made more progress than I had in years of therapy. I am very thankful and grateful to Debra for helping me to find my one true love - MYSELF! And, because of the love and confidence I feel for myself, I have met a very special man that could be the "one"!
-F. Pennachio, Queens, NY
You changed my life
Debra has helped me to change the course of my life in a most miraculous way... we're all responsible for our choices and ultimately our lives but receiving assistance as we travel our journey is not only beneficial but sometimes very necessary. Debra helped to create an awareness in my spirit, which allowed the process of healing and spiritual growth to be accelerated, which then took me to places in life that I never could have imagined. Everything became new again and I was able to take the risks that I otherwise may not have had the courage to take. I feel like a brand new creature with an amazing life that I created and Debra showed me how to do that. Thanks so much Deb... I love you :)"

My attractor vibes have changed
"I have listened for a month and have for the first time in my life realized and visualized what it is I want in a partner. It's funny over the last few weeks, past boyfriends have been calling me out of nowhere and people in the grocery store at at events have been more apt come up to me and start a conversation. I think my attractor vibes are finally on the right frequency. I feel as if I am ready to attract my perfect mate. Thanks so much." -L.C. Los Angeles, CA

text: Open Invitation is first and foremost a love story. It's the tale of a marriage elevated and erotically charged by a chance encounter with a couple over dinner who play in the alternative lifestyle. The movie follows the arc of how a couple moves from a predictable and happy life to one filled with adventure, phenomenal sex and, most importantly, open communication about their desires. Open Invitation has been called one of the best couples films of all time, using great on-location footage, subtle acting and well-crafted dialog to build some of the most believable and compelling sex scenes ever filmed. In addition to career-defining performances that earned the film 13 AVN nominations (including best film, best actress/actor, best girl/girl, and best orgy), Open Invitation intersects with an actual swingers' party for the final scene. 127 real swingers got busy with the stars and each other to create a visually stunning cinematic milestone in adult film history. Open Invitation redefines the standard for feature film in the industry.Starring Gia Dimarco, India Summer, Jessie Cox, Lorelei Lee, Seda, Skylar Price, Tara Lynn Foxx, Tia Ling, James Deen, Mark Davis, Mickey Mod, and Wolf Hudson. Directed by Ilana Rothman.

1. The R-3 project is aimed at citizens who deal with selective collection of recycled materials, such as aluminum recipients, cardboard boxes, etc. The aforementioned collection concerns individuals who belong to an under privileged social class, either from organized cooperative groups or not (that is, autonomous), whose activity represents an important social role and, in some countries, a significant participation in economical indexes regarding such collecting, mostly in what aluminum and cardboard are concerned.
2. Main features of the vehicle:
-Use of a 26" bicycle (rear wheel, frame and handle bar) joined to a collecting container (78,5 x 39,5 x 27,5 inches / L x W x H), presenting easiness to connect and reverse to bike mode;
-Use of recycled and ecological materials in the container structure (cf. - fairing in polyurethane resin based plant, reinforced with natural fibers);
-Loading capacity estimated in 237 gallons (900 liters). Container divided in chambers specified for storage of aluminum and cardboard, etc.;
-Equipped with aluminum can crusher;
-Other accessories: dynamo headlights; personal items storage compartment;
3. Project aims:
-Improve the working conditions for the autonomous collectors;
-Valorization of these professionals' community services;
-Aggregate new concepts for use and materials concerning the selective collection of recycled materials;
-Make evident and promote recycling, either in its collecting or in diffusing its practice, before the challenges imposed by the emergent global need to mobilize efforts in order to save the planet.

Some time ago I was invited to an E.L.F event but was unable to attend. Rosa of DancingHotdogs.com was able to go in my stead, below is her Latinalicious recap of E.L.F's tips and tricks!
Eyes Lips Face (E.L.F), known for their affordable luxury, held a Summer Beauty Boost Event at the American Laser Center. There were speakers on health, beauty and fashion. Here are some highlights of the tips that I learned!
Achelle Dunaway, Creative Director of E.L.F, gave us tips as to how to rejuvenate ourselves without having to go under the knife. Not only are the prices great at E.L.F but their Natural Mineral Makeup is 100% all natural. If you buy the Beauty Boost Kit, 100% of the proceeds go to The Bottomless Closet, a nonprofit organization that gives women hope for a better future.
Below are a few of Achelle's top ten trends & tips:
· Bronzer: Using bronzer is the perfect makeup item to help transition you from Winter into Summer. Create a great bronzed glow by dusting color on the hollows of your cheek, around the hairline, under the jaw, along the neck and the décolletage.
· Matte red lips: Bright lips are all the rage. Red is the perfect color for a night out! Remember to keep the rest of your makeup natural and subtle as to not compete with the dramatic red lip.
· Glitter Eyes: To enhance and open the eyes pick a glittery liquid eyeliner.
*Products mentioned can be bought online at Eyes Lips Face for a combined amount of $12 – a bargain!
The American Laser Center does laser hair removals,microdermabrasion, velashape and many more treatments that help you look young and vibrant. However, keep in mind that you have to do your part to maintain it. A good healthy diet and exercise is the only way you can achieve that. Tanya Zuckerbrot, author of The F-Factor Diet, gave us tips as to what we need for a healthy diet. Instead of taking away food and starving ourselves, she tells us to eat fiber. In her book, she gives a meal plan of how to eat as well as recipes to include "fiber-rich foods".
Charles Peter, a personal massage therapist and body-worker, explained that the most important part of working out is letting your body rest afterwards. If you work out 7 days a week, then your body is being pushed over the limit. He suggests working out 3-5 times a week for about an hour.
After getting tips on how to have great makeup, hair and body, Derek from DerekLovesShopping.com gave us 10 shopping tips and his favorite secret shopping spot: Becan's Closet. He claimed its the place to go for the best deals. Below are some of his shopping tips:
· June, July: Country cute is the new city fabulous! Big skirts, daisy dukes and gingham make even Ma and Pa Kettle feel right at home in the big city.
· Keep It Clean: Snow White is keeping it basic this year. The white button down is not just for office anymore.
· What's Your Platform? This spring you will be reaching new heights!!! The platforms have gotten so high you won't need a step stool 'til fall!!!
Overall I had a great time and met some great people, a quick shout out to Joey at PinkSith.com (it was nice meeting you!) Thanks to Ms. Latina, I was able to go to the amazing event. As you can tell, there was so much information!
Follow me on twitter @RosaDancing
Disclosure: I was invited to go to the E.L.F event through Ms. Latina where they gave complimentary gifts to attendees. All thoughts and opinions of products and services are my own .
Thank you Rosa for a wonderful writeup! It sounds like it was an amazing event. I also love the fact that E.L.F donates 100% of the proceed from its Beauty Boost Kit to The Bottomless Closet. The Bottomless Closet is an amazing organization that helps disadvantaged New York City women become self-sufficient by providing business attire, interview preparation, professional development, financial management and more. Please take a moment and check them out.

Ultiboost Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Ultiboost is a product line from Swisse that claims to reduce appetite and help dieters achieve the weight loss they've always wanted. According to the official website, the supplement contains a quality ingredient to reduce hunger. That quality ingredient is Slimaluma or caralluma fimbriata. There is also a significant dose of riboflavin in the mix, but riboflavin is not the ingredient in Ultiboost that will reduce hunger. Caralluma fimbriata has some clinical support, but diet supplement companies have to do a little clinical research before formulating supplement that work; something Swisse clearly forgot.
List of Ingredients
- Riboflavin
- Caralluma Fimbriata
Product Features
We did a little research into caralluma fimbriata and found some very interesting statistics and clinical studies. Most studies suggest a dose of caralluma fimbriata of 1,000 mg per day for a minimum of 60 days for optimal effect. Other studies on rat models have suggested up to 100 mg of caralluma fimbriata per kg of body weight – that equates to much more than 1,000 mg. Ultiboost packs 500 mg into one dose and though it is suggested you take the supplement twice a day, but the company doesn't bother to list any clinical studies supporting the main ingredient, just the trademarked name for the brand of caralluma fimbriata used in Ultiboost.
Another problem with the supplement is the number of tablets per bottle. Customers will pay $32 per 30-count bottle. If the dieter takes the recommended dose of two per day, that bottle will last just two weeks. That means they have to pay $64 per month or more than $180 for a three-month trial of the supplement.
There is no mention of a money-back guarantee or a trial period the dieter can use to evaluate effect. Clinically significant changes in diet and appetite were not noted in just two weeks, but the Ultiboost company expects dieters to order without a safety net if the product does not work and without the proper dose or number of pills to give the supplement a good run.
- All ingredients in Ultiboost are listed on the official website.
- The supplement contains a clinically-proven ingredient.
- One bottle of Ultiboost contains just two weeks of the supplement.
- There is less than the clinically proven amount of caralluma fimbriata in each pill.
- The product will cost more than $180 to give it a three-month trial.
- It can take two months or longer to realize the full potential of caralluma fimbriata.
We love clinically proven ingredients, but not all companies that offer supplement with these ingredients are completely honest with consumers. Ultiboost contains a clinically tested and supported ingredient, but there is not enough of that ingredient in the formula. Gas is proven to run your car, but if you do not put enough gas in the car it will not take you where you want to go – that is what dieters can expect from Ultiboost.

Did you hear? More smartphones than PCs were sold in 2011. To add insult to injury, PCs as counted here includes tablets, which now make up 15% of PC sales.
Among the analysts covering application development, we've have had a lot of discussion lately on the development practice known as "Mobile First". The recent conversations centered largely around this article on Forbes concerning the development of ESPN's video applications, and their own use of the Mobile First concept. Opinions among the analysts vary on the subject. Any practice with "first" in its title is rightfully suspect, because on the surface, it implies a universal best practice or silver bullet with no context on what is actually occurring inside an organization. But on a closer look, this is a pretty common-sense approach to designing web applications.
Luke Wroblewski coined the term in this post, and has now written a book by the same name, which I finished a few days ago. Some takeaways:
- The mobile explosion is in the books. It's likely that in the near future, you'll have more potential mobile users than desktop users. Why would you want to alienate them?
- Designing for mobile imposes constraints. Constraint is a good thing for the user experience, because it forces you to evaluate the value and priority of your use cases.
- The new capabilities for mobile (geolocation, touch, phone integration, cameras, accelerometers) can support new and innovative use cases. You can't take advantage of them if you start with desktop use cases. (Of course, you can't easily adapt the resulting application for the desktop, either.)
- Content is more important than navigation on mobile. It needs to feature even more prominently. Navigation has to be streamlined, expected UI behaviors need to be obvious, and actions should be highly contextual.
- Progressive enhancement — scaling a web app's layout and features to suit the accessing device — can be an effective way to adapt an application to multiple platforms.
When a team sets out to build the client side of a web application, they have to start somewhere. Historically, that meant building for the desktop, and later adapting the application with new templates to server a mobile-friendly interface. This approach rarely delivered positive results, in part because the use cases for the application were created for the desktop. You've seen these in the wild when you land on a web site with a mobile phone: They're easier to read and use, but don't offer much by way of value or even enable the features you want to access. Great mobile web applications are designed specifically for mobile. How well those results can be adapted for non-mobile devices is debatable, and depends largely on the type of application and mobile features that were used.
It's worth noting that the concept is finding its way into specific implementations for application development frameworks. Some are using the jQuery mobile libraries to enable easier progressive enhancement. More on that another time.
To be clear, we're talking about web applications here. You might think, "well we're doing native app development, so this doesn't apply." However, if you have a web site (and you probably do — check on it, at least), you have a web application. If you have a URL that can be accessed from a mobile web browser, then that URL is getting shared via emails, IMs, tweets, and other sites. Are mobile users who follow that URL getting a positive impression of your brand? Your chances at "yes" are far better if you designed the app specifically for mobile, whether you tackle it first or not.

You can't mandate your own authority online. You can't demand that people trust you without giving them good reason to grant you that trust. The Post-Dispatch, like other news outlets, assumed that the mere invitation to discourse was enough—and it assumed that the Post-Dispatch imprimatur would be enough to entice readers to participate in a lackluster feature. But fiat authority will only take you so far. It'll take you to where most papers are today, with sites that people visit out of habit more than any real volition. That's not authority. That's indifference.
Real authority, I think, comes from acknowledging that your community members come bearing gifts, and engaging with those gifts in good faith. When members do become invested in a community, it is usually because the community takes its members seriously enough to make it worth the investment.
The extent to which media outlets are attuned to the communities they serve is of paramount importance in determining their authority and credibility in those communities. As Internet journalism evolves, these outlets must rethink the role they have traditionally played in dominating and defining their communities. The legacy media need to stop treating their online audience like an audience, and to start treating them instead like members of a community: less like listeners to a talk show, and more like friends talking. To do otherwise is to court mistrust, scorn, and eventual irrelevance. As one Post-Dispatch commenter wrote regarding the Greenbaum affair: "Kurt - it's 2009. It's no longer about you, your paper, and so-called journalism principles. We readers, viewers and listeners - it's about us. WE'RE your judge and jury. Period."

Before the season began, they were coming off an 80-81 season with optimism that Gio Gonzalez, Edwin Jackson and eventually Bryce Harper were going to raise the team to a competitive level for the first time since Montreal. Not to mention that the team's ace Stephen Strasburg was, barring another setback, going to pitch for them all year after returning from Tommy John surgery and pitching just five games at the back end of the 2011 season.
Reasonably assuming that his young team wouldn't be able to make a playoff run in a division that included the Phillies, Braves and newly-stacked Marlins, GM Mike Rizzo made it clear that Strasburg would not pitch an entire season. After all, he was and is a huge piece of the future of the franchise and was just coming back from major surgery.
It was a good idea at the time.
But now here we are on August 13, and the Nationals have the best record in Baseball. Atlanta trails by 4 1/2 and the mighty Phillies and Marlins rest at the bottom of the division under the Mets and ten games under .500. Since Rizzo's team is right in the thick of it, you would think that he would rescind his vow to shut Strasburg down in the middle of the season, right?
Wrong. Strasburg is at 133 innings this year, and it's very unlikely that the team will let him go over 180 before making him sit out the rest of the season. And I mean all of the rest of the season–the stretch run and the playoffs.
"There is no magic number," Rizzo said of Strasburg's innings back in July. "It will be the eye test. [Manager Davey Johnson] won't decide and ownership won't decide. It will be the general manager, and that's me. …
"When we signed Stephen I made a promise to him and to his parents that I would take care of him and that's what we are going to do. I told them we would always do what's best for him. This is a kid who has never pitched more than 123 innings in a year.
"We are looking at not only competing for the playoffs this season, but also in '13, '14, '15 and beyond. Stephen is a big part of those plans and I will not do anything that could potentially harm him down the road. …
"When it happens, Stephen will not pitch again until spring training," he said a month ago, apparently still sticking to his guns. "We tried something similar with [Jordan Zimmermann] last year and he just could not get going again. We won't make the same mistake."
I can appreciate preserving a commodity like Strasburg in a lost season or even a very good, fringe-playoff rebuilding season. But what Rizzo is saying to the fans, players, staff and anyone involved with this team is that he doesn't care about this year. He's willing to completely give up on the first winning season that team has had since moving to DC in hopes that another opportunity like this will come along every year for the next few years.
I don't want to see the Nats go down after having a spectacular year following several joke seasons in a row, especially if the reason is that their GM is being bullheaded. But I'd like him to get a taste of just how stupid a decision this would be and to learn that playoff spots in Major League Baseball, even after being diluted by Bud Selig, should never be taken for granted.
If he doesn't care enough to let his ace pitch in the most important games of the year, he doesn't deserve to win. And it's a shame everyone else in the organization has to suffer for it.
The bullpen did it.
Everything was cruising along just fine after an expected disaster inning from Lance Lynn in the first, with the Cardinals putting up seven to make it 7-4 heading into the eighth.
With three lefties coming up, Marc Rzepczynski was brought in and utterly failed, walking two of those lefties before Mitchell Boggs came in and got two outs before giving up a game-tying bomb to one Erik Kratz.
Extras ensued; and in the eleventh, a leadoff double by that same Erik Kratz made the end look inevitable until he was killed on a fielder's choice on his way to third. Brian Schneider moved Jimmy Rollins up to second on a groundout; after which Rollins stole third with Juan Pierre up.
Barret Browning, who blew the game a couple nights ago, had Pierre down to two strikes when he grounded one to Rafael Furcal, who made a valiant effort to get the out at first. but even Furcal's cannon couldn't beat out Pierre's speed, and the Phils walked off on an infield hit.
Oh, and the Pirates won after the Padres blew a 5-0 lead. But you knew that already.
> Yadier Molina sat today. Mike Matheny had this to say:
"He's all beat up. He's still a little sore from the elbow and the hand today. He's just so tough, and we've been riding him. He gets so much respect from the guys in this clubhouse. … He's been grinding through for us, and he just needs today."
> Lance Berkman on the possibility of coming back:
"I've tried not to think that far ahead, but whenever you get to a certain age and begin to play year to year, you almost have to. At some point it ends for everyone, no matter what. A guy like Jim Thome is trying to play forever. But he's not going to. No matter what, at some point you're going to have a last game or a last day. I'd by lying if I said I didn't contemplate that."
> I wonder if Lance would do better if he pitched a simulated inning before each game or something. He seems to settle down just fine after the first inning (38% of his earned runs come in the first), so maybe get whoever's not starting on a given day and have them hit against him in BP before the game to loosen him up?
> Giving your players occasional days off is essential in a long season, but why did David Freese and Yadier Molina get theirs on the same day? Look at how the starting lineup takes a dive halfway through:
CF: Jon Jay
3B: Matt Carpenter
LF: Matt Holliday
RF: Carlos Beltran
1B: Allen Craig
2B: Daniel Descaso
CR: Tony Cruz
SS: Rafael Furcal
SP: Lance Lynn
I'd like to see M-Carp hit in the two-slot in the future as opposed to Craig, but at Descalso's expense, not Freese's.
> Former head of Cardinals player development and now-Houston GM Jeff Luhnow said of Tyler Greene,
"He's got all five tools. And those are the type of guys you want to take a chance on to give them more time. … I think he's the type of guy that can really turn it around given a second chance."
> After giving up three first-inning runs today, Lynn's first-frame ERA has risen to 8.22.
> Ryan Howard lifetime against the Cards: .360, 17 homers and 53 RBI in 48 games.
> Jay and Carpenter went 7-11 with five RBI and three runs combined.
> Cruz has started 18 games this year. Yadi has started 96.
> Ryan Ludwick has gone full dark side on us, hitting his 21st homerun this year for the Reds.
> After last night's start, Shelby Miller has gone 29 2/3 with 31 strikeouts and zero walks.
Our hero is hitting .043 (1-23) in his last six games. This might help explain why:
Just like his old team is doing now, Albert Pujols' new team has a mediocre record despite having over a dozen freaking assassins on the same team.
"We just need to continue to push and realize we are a good ball club," Pujols told the LA Times. "Everyone has to go through this to be a championship ballclub because when a tough situation comes, how do you handle it?
"We have a bunch of veteran guys who know what baseball is. Staying positive, that's the main thing—not hanging your head. The young guys feel it, and that's a beautiful thing."
I don't know what he's looking at, but neither the Angels or Cardinals can be described as beautiful things at this point.
> These were being given away at the Cardinals' single-A park last night.
> This happened at today's game in Philadelphia because where else would this happen.
> Rangers fans are trending in a disturbing pattern. This from October:
And this from yesterday:

ProMedica Embarks on Progressive "Take a Stand" Wellness Journey
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TOLEDO, OH -- (Marketwire) -- 12/14/12 -- To help protect employees from the adverse health effects of long periods of sitting, ProMedica has launched their "Take a Stand" wellness program. Formally rolled out in October and November, the program encourages ProMedica employees to break up their sedentary work routines using a combination of standing, stretching and ergonomics.
Core to its "Take a Stand" program is the implementation of 425 Ergotron WorkFit Sit-Stand Workstations. Distributed over a three month period to employees whose computing-intensive positions require extended sitting during the day, the WorkFit Sit-Stand Workstations enable employees to effortlessly alternate between a seated or standing position, as their bodies require while they worked.
In a 12-week study, conducted in Fall 2011, 26 ProMedica employees, who spend a majority of their workday sitting, were given sit-stand workstations and asked to stand at least one hour a day. Through pre- and post-surveys, ProMedica examined a variety of areas including participants ability to focus at the end of the day, weight changes, pain, energy level and job satisfaction. At the end of the study, 85 percent of participants said that they would recommend the workstation to others. Ritzler shared the results of the study in an Ergotron-sponsored Webinar that can be accessed online on Juststand.org in the Videos section or via YouTube.
"We were familiar with the studies being done on the impact standing has on a variety of health factors so it wasn't surprising that at the end of the study we saw improvements in every area we were evaluating," said Laura Ritzler, co-director ProMedica Wellness. "What really surprised us, and was statistically most significant, was the level to which body discomfort decreased and mental focus increased. In fact, only a couple of days into the study, I was getting emails from participants sharing how dramatically their pain had subsided." To help protect employees without a sit-stand workstation against the adverse effects of sitting and influence more movement, ProMedica is implementing an education component to the program which includes instructional videos that teach stretching exercises as well as how to ergonomically set up their workstations and chairs. Beyond that, executives and managers have been enlisted to lead by example by encouraging standing during meetings and setting calendar reminders to stretch.
"The entire management team, including the CEO, is advocating standing more throughout the day," said Ritzler. "Not only does our CEO have his own WorkFit workstation, he is vocal in encouraging employees to stand and shares his passion with community and business leaders to evaluate it for their own employees as well." The "Take a Stand" program is just one of the company's efforts to promote employee wellness which earned ProMedica recognition from the American Heart Association as a Platinum-Level Start! Fit-Friendly Company.
