getting rid of belly fat
I am feeling really encouraged over all with my progress but I am not seeing any reduction in my belly fat. Any suggestions?
Wed. Jun 15, 11:34am
Sorry. . .
All of the evidence I've read, from every reputable source I've come across, from medical doctors to fitness trainers says the diet industry has us duped--there is no way to spot reduce except through liposuction. Each of us loses fat from our body as our own bodies decide. So, there's no diet or exercise that will cause you to lose fat from a particular part of the body. I've heard a little about stress hormones and how they may cause people to store fat around the belly, but I haven't seen anything that convinces me that the new supplements on the market that are supposed to target "stubborn belly fat" are more effective than any of the other supplements out there, and after reading the labels and seeing how much "natural" caffeine and other stimulants are in them, I decided it wasn't worth the health risks to try taking them.
HOWEVER, I have been told by 2 personal trainers and by my yoga instructor that doing lots of core strength and general ab exercises is really helpful not only for our health, but for toning the fascia around those muscles. It can help to tighten and firm up the area so that there's less "sagging." While it's not necessarily a reduction in fat, I'll take the slimmer and firmer appearance anyday!

belly fat
Have you ever read any of the Suzanne Somers weight loss books? It's not really a diet, it's about eliminating bad food (sugar, white stuff etc.), then combining your foods properly for optimal metabolism and fat burning. I notice when I eat right, my belly seems to be one of the first things I notice getting flattter ( not more tone, but that's my fault!) ha, ha..... Anyway, I checked her books out at the library and they were very informative about how are bodies process different kinds of foods and so forth. Really eye opening! I like it because there is no portion control, counting points etc.

Hold your tummy
Tuck your tummy in throughout the day. By holding your stomach in it strengthens your ab muscles and supports your back. I have a horrible "gunt" since having my 10.5lb daughter, and I've noticed a difference in 2 weeks. I just try to stay conscience of it.
My source is 3 personal trainers.

I hold in my belly all day long. 24 hours a day. Young dancing habit I suspect. It totally works. I really have been compared to jlo in my midsection.

great comments thanks
Thursday, June 16, 2005, 3:23 PM
Ive been told that I gain most of my fat in my tummy area because of a condition. I can't think of the name. Can anyone help me out? If you know the condition, is there anything extra that I can do to help lose it? It has to do with an intolerance or something.

Belly Fat Tips
Hey Guys,
Stay away from sugar, white bread ect. I have two children 2.5 and 13 year old and I have notice my tummy shrinking in size with cardio burning fat, keeping my tummy tight through out the day and staying away from pasta's, bread and sugar. I use healthier foods like spinach pasta's, wheat and so fort. Leg lifts for mid section and hard core waist twisters make a difference a really here's a good one lie on your back knees bent and slightly open between keeping legs bent left legs towards chest half way then back this you WILL feel in lower abs area. I am looking forward in proving a lot of people wrong on stubborn tummy fat it is possible just hard work. If I can do it, you can to!

this workout really works
Here are a few sample exercises...I have the entire abs DVD and it is killer. Of course, when is the last time I actually did it? Ha...I think I'll give it a shot tonight because goodness knows I carry most of my weight in my belly.
Thursday, June 23, 2005, 5:52 PM
bumping this, I'd love some tips on this as well. Seems to be the hardest area for me no matter what I do.

South Beach and Belly Fat
An earlier poster mentioned eliminating sugar, white flour, etc. This is the basis of South Beach and I can attest to its ability to help you lose belly fat. Not sure how it works, but it is the first place you lose fat on the program.
Tuesday, October 10, 2006, 4:10 PM
As much as we all want to believe that we can target certain areas we can't. The only way is to lose fat, where ever it comes off it comes off. You can help it along by doing abdominal exercises to strengthen your core muscles. And an fyi for everyone out there sucking in your tummy is working those core muscles. I think people forget that.
Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 2:36 AM
I second working the core muscles. Whenever I do ab work, I reduce my belly fat.
Wednesday, November 15, 2006, 9:02 AM
Ingest a pile of vegetables, stop drinking milk, sugar and bread like other posters have said. But above all focus on adding great healthy plant based fruits and veggies. A diet of addition instead of elimination- (thanks whoever on PT taught me that)

Ab lounge
I have a lot of trouble with my belly fat since I had my daughter. I just got the AB XL lounge from TV. It is so awesome. It also comes with a cardio workout DVD and nutrition books. You can feel the workout straight away.
Wednesday, April 11, 2007, 12:25 PM
I also have a problem with belly fat ! I haven't had kids , but I feel like I have a tummy that looks like I did ! I've lost most of my weight , I have about 10 pounds to go. However , my stomach area has that stretched skin look & a little saggy. I always feel like it bulges out a bit in my jeans. Anyway, I've been doing serious ab workouts & watching what I eat. Hopefully it will have an effect !
Wednesday, April 11, 2007, 5:33 PM
Just how much are we talking about? Dr Oz says women should be under 32", men should be under 36 or is it 35? If you have a really large gut then this is the most dangerous fat to your heart. If you are just a bit flabby then then is another issue. How much more weight would you like to lose and how tall are you? The others are right, exercise can only do so much but it can help some. But if you're stretched out from being very overweight or pregnancy then you may not be able to get rid of it except surgically.
Wednesday, April 11, 2007, 5:55 PM
april 9, 3:40 poster said to cut out milk....
milk= belly fat?
Thursday, April 12, 2007, 1:46 PM
Anything that clogs up or congests the system will help you retain fat. You are what you eat, and milk, dairy etc contain saturated fat. Vegetables do not. It is pretty simple.
Thursday, April 19, 2007, 1:18 PM
From the SparkPeople article entitled, "Common Fitness Blunders:"
Myth #3: Abdominal exercises will help get rid of the fat around your belly.
The key to lowering your body fat is burning calories. The best way to torch calories is through cardio. The core muscles are very important to strengthen but unfortunately you don't burn many calories by working them. Therefore, spending most of your exercise time each workout on abdominal exercises doesn't make sense. You will burn many more calories and lose overall body fat in all areas of your body by working your larger muscle groups… quadriceps, upper back, chest, shoulders and hamstring/buttocks. Riding a bike, running on a treadmill, or doing the elliptical works all of these large muscle groups, but it's also important to add a bit more resistance with strength training exercises.
The link is to a calculator that uses the waist to hip ratio to determine to what extent your waistline may affect your health.

My own personal experience has been that I see a noticeable improvment when I add an ab element to my work out. I generally do 100-150 crunches of varying types. Then stretch.
I also practice holding my stomach in from time to time.
My tummy insn't flat by any means but to me it looks better. So while I won't be sporting a six paxk anytime soon, I look at the ab element as an important and beneficial part of my work out.

2 Cesareans and lots of Sit up pain..
Well I had two c-sections with my little ones, and sit ups hurt like heck. My stomach isnt all that big but could use some firming. I have lost weight, all around because of cardio 5 times a week, and I was sokced when I notice my bulging belly actually looks smaller- I barely did ab work. I will do about 15-20 sit ups a day which is all I can do, cause the scar tissue hurts. But its coming off workign my whole body out.
Monday, April 23, 2007, 5:18 PM
It is not true that simply burning calories will help you lose belly fat. It is mostly true, but certain fats tend to collect around your belly and butt. You need to cut calories, but you also need to cut fat, especially saturated (animal) fat.
Wednesday, August 22, 2007, 10:55 AM
to the 5:18 poster
Be encouraged. I've had 3 sections and finally (it has taken 7 years) I can do sit ups w/o pain. Some of us just take longer to heal.
Wednesday, August 22, 2007, 12:00 PM
I have heard that you should drink at least 8oz of milk? Any feedback?
Wednesday, August 22, 2007, 2:50 PM
milk is over rated. I never drink it, and I've lost a fair bit of weight. That being said, I still have cheese. (And LOTS of red meat and butter. Sat fat doesn't keep me from having a flat stomach).
Now, no, you cannot burn fat from one specific area. However, when someone want's to "lose belly fat" it's often that they just want their stomach to look better. Various things make our stomach look bad- poor posture, untoned muscles, bloat (if you have gas it takes up space, if your digestive system is clogged, it takes up more space), even gravity. Don't forget that most of your internal organs are held in place by the muscles- they're not attached to bone. If your muscles aren't holding everything in place, then they can sag.
So by changing diet and working your core, you can spot reduce in that you can change the appearance of your abs- how much depending on how much excess wieght you have, no, you cannot remove fat from just your abs.
My secret to a flat stomach? No wheat, no corn, no milk and t-tapp.

metabolic syndrome
you might have this or have insulin resistance... people with these conditions tend to store their extra weight around their abdomen, which is unhealthy. You might want to ask your doc for some tests!

Getting Rid of Stomach Fat
If you are looking for information about losing belly fat I would recommend reading the article
Getting Rid of Stomach Fat
. One thing I found particularly interesting was that getting a good night's sleep can help lower the amount of cortisol your body makes, thus reducing the amount of fat that is deposited around the gut area. Sleep... now there's something I can do :)

It's different for different people but at some age, generally in middle age somewhere, you will start putting on fat around your mid section. It's known as "central spreading". It happens. It's normal. You can somewhat reduce the fat there as part of overall weight reduction but you can't specifically loose weight there. The only way to 're-contour' your body is through liposuction. Lots and lots of women in California have liposuction. And love the results.
Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 6:33 PM
I'm from CA and I don't know anyone who has had lipo (well I'm from the Bay Area....maybe you're refering about the LA area lol). I think the best way is through weight training, clean eating, eating foods suggested in the Abs Diet, and cardio.
Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 7:05 PM
Yes, actually it was primarily the Los Angeles area I was thinkign of.

If you can't get rid of your belly fat, the real problem may be that you have Diastasis Recti. It is the separation of your abdominal muscles usually due to pregnancy, but also can happen to athletes and people who lift weights. When the muscles have separated down the middle of your abdomen, you no longer have the core muscle support that holds everything nice and tight. The muscles are slack, allowing your stomach to bulge out.
Most people (including some doctors) don't know anything about it. Most women who have it, just live with the extra belly weight their whole life. They can't get rid of it because it does not go away on it's own, and they do not know the correct exercises. Traditional exercises like sit ups actually make the problem worse. Some women with the means have surgery (a tummy tuck) to take care of it.
There are a few voices out there who say that the correct exercises will close the gap between the muscles and strengthen your core. Julie Tupler wrote a book called 'Lose Your Mummy Tummy'. My friend has diastasis, and gave me the book when we realized after my last pregnancy that I had the problem as well.
Here's how to see if you have it---
1. Lie on your back with your knees bent, and the soles of your feet on the floor.
2. Place one hand behind your head, and the other hand on your abdomen, with your fingertips across your midline—pointing toward your toes— at the level of your belly button.
3. With your abdominal wall relaxed, gently press your fingertips into your abdomen.
4. Roll your head and shoulders off the floor into a "crunch," making sure that your ribcage moves closer to your pelvis.
5. Move your fingertips back and forth across your midline, feeling for the right and left sides of your Rectus Abdominis muscle.
If the muscle is just flat with no valley down the middle, you're fine.
If the muscle is separated and your fingers have sunk into a valley in the middle, you have diastasis recti. I can fit three fingers in my 'valley'.
If you have this problem, I recommend researching it and taking a look at Julie Tupler's website. If you're interested, I started a group here on PeerTrainer and would love some people to join in supporting and keeping each other accountable as we exercise to correct this problem! It's called " Moms with diastasis recti who need to exercise right!
Friday, February 26, 2010, 5:23 PM
If you believe that you might have the condition, consult your physician to receive a diagnosis. Without a medical diagnosis, you could be doing more harm than good to yourself.
Friday, February 26, 2010, 5:32 PM
I can very much recommend buying a hula-hoop for an amazingly fun core workout. You can learn to do tricks and really go to town, or just go round and round in front of the telly. Sit ups never made me giggle; hula does!
Saturday, February 27, 2010, 3:15 PM
I have some friends who do an acrobat show and they use a hula hoop to get in shape and the guys have abs of STEEL. I would love to get one and start working out.
Saturday, February 27, 2010, 4:25 PM
Go for it! But make sure you get a proper one, not a toy one for kids. The hand-taped weighted ones are so easy to use you can hula for hours; the toy ones are so tricky they fall down within seconds! Maybe you could run away and join the circus, too ;)
Sunday, February 28, 2010, 9:56 AM
Apparently ignorance is bliss. There are indeed people who do acrobatic shows and even teach the subject at schools. It's an amazing workout and takes killer abs to do the stunts these people do. There are several acts at Ren Faires all around the country and their talents and skills go back to a time long before America even existed.
I guess it takes skill and coordination to do a real hula hoop. I've never had problems with them falling down, you just have to have skill in your hips to do it.

With the Super Bowl and Sochi Olympics rapidly approaching, gangsters are seeing dollar signs
Wholesale Jerseys 2016
.Sophisticated crime rings are developing pop-up e-marketplaces and sourcing cheap apparel from abroad, readying to profit millions of dollars selling counterfeit goods to unsuspecting deal hunters
Stitched NFL Patch
.More than $17 million worth of Super Bowl 2013 merchandise -- from fake jerseys, hats and jackets to tickets and other souvenirs -- was seized last year, according to U.S. Immigration and Customers Enforcement.
While the NFL has forced the shutdown of more than 2,500 websites offering counterfeit team merchandise
Movie Football
, the federal government arrested a dozen people ahead of this year's Super Bowl and the Sochi Organizing Committee pledged to implement a more effective response to the theft of licensed Olympic gear
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Jersey
, the hill is steep.Without further consumer awareness, defeat is like a large-scale game of whack-a-mole, said David Sugden, an attorney specializing in grey markets at Call & Jensen."Whenever there's demand for anything --whether it is sports memorabilia or airplane parts -- you're going to find there's an effort from dishonest entrepreneurs to sell dishonest products," he said.Brands may succeed in shutting down one
Atlanta Falcons Jersey
, but two more are always waiting in the wings.Traditional crime rings are attracted to the ease of importing apparel over, say, drugs and narcotics, and can quickly develop a website for the sale of illicit merchandise
Baltimore ravens Jersey
. The sites can also be written in such a way that the actual ring leaders are difficult to prosecute.
And it's extremely lucrative
Indianapolis Colts Jersey
. Despite the fact that some of these counterfeited products are indeed far superior to their legitimate counterparts, thieves oftentimes price them in the same ballpark so as to maintain the ruse that the products being purchased are real
Buffalo Bills Jersey
."It allows you to maintain the margins of legitimate goods, making it an extremely attractive business with a very low barrier to entry," said Fred Feldman, chief marketing officer of brand protection firm MarkMonitor
Chicago Bears Jersey
, which works with the NFL.It's also easier to fool a shopper online, whereas consumers tend to be more cautious of a random man selling t-shirts out of the back of his truck in the rear of the stadium parking lot.
"Prior to Internet commerce
Cincinnati Bengals Jersey
, counterfeiters were often outside of stadiums or in flea markets or just on city streets," said Sugden. "That kind of environment suggests to a reasonable consumer that this stuff probably is not authentic."
Of course, some shoppers looking for
Cleveland Browns Jersey
a deal are willing to sacrifice the quality. In fact, a MarkMonitor survey from 2012 found that these deal hunters are 20 times more likely to buy counterfeit than regular consumers.
"Consumers have become more price sensitive and understand that one of the powers of the Internet is to compare and contrast prices to find the best deal
," Feldman said.
With millions of revenue on the line, that has become a nightmare for brand owners.

Plant breeders/geneticists work to improve the quality and performance of existing agricultural and horticultural crops as well as create new varieties.
They aim to develop useful traits, such as disease resistance or drought tolerance, or to improve characteristics such as appearance.
Their role is vital to the agricultural industry as there are constant challenges to meet market requirements, consumer demands and increase and maintain yields in important crops.
Plant geneticists have enhanced the traditional work of crossing existing plants and selecting new strains. Their expertise allows quicker, more accurate work by selecting the plants containing the genes of interest.
Work may be carried out in academic, research and commercial settings, and due to this, individual tasks may vary according to the specialist area and level.
However, in general, tasks can include:
- producing research aims and objectives, and predicting the costing of the work;
- researching methods and techniques for improving plant breeding;
- identifying and selecting plants exhibiting desirable traits, based on natural genetic variation;
- crossing plants to produce new breeding material for field and glasshouse trials;
- analysing and scientifically assessing plant breeding in laboratory and field trials and selecting the best varieties;
- conducting scientific projects, which may be laboratory based, especially in the winter months;
- multiplying up and producing virus-free plants;
- maintaining detailed records throughout the research and development cycle;
- managing, supporting and training technical and field staff;
- keeping up to date in the fast-moving area of science and translating ideas from scientific literature into new approaches to breeding problems;
- monitoring the activities of competitors (in commercial settings) and developing a product market profile;
- responding to enquiries from farmers, agronomists and other professionals;
- writing and presenting work to other scientists and publishing scientific findings;
- liaising with and visiting other scientists, commercial breeders and funding bodies.
Developing a new strain to create a new variety can be time consuming and may take several years. Time is spent selecting plants with the desired attributes and assessing them for yield, disease resistance and end-user quality. The most promising samples then need to be purified and multiplied for entry to official trials.
Genetic engineering can produce significant changes in crop characteristics and value in a single generation and has the potential to make the breeding process quicker and more efficient.
The on-going debate about genetically modified food and crops is likely to have a significant effect on the future of plant breeding in the UK.
- The range of typical starting salaries varies between £16,000 and £22,000.
- With three to five years' experience salaries can reach £22,000 to £25,000.
- Typical salaries at senior levels range between £27,000 and £40,000+.
Pay tends to be higher in the public sector. In the private sector, additional benefits might include a company car and medical insurance. Pay is often performance related.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working hours
The working routine follows a seasonal pattern and shifts are usually quite long with the plants requiring care seven days a week, although some months are less busy than others. Extra hours may sometimes be required depending on the experiments that are being carried out.
What to expect
- Trials are mostly conducted in the field, which may involve working in poor weather conditions. Some researchers, however, are purely laboratory-based. Assessment and data analysis take place in the office.
- Self-employment is not likely. Specialist freelance writing or advisory work may be possible. There may be opportunities for career breaks.
- This is a developing industry that changes quickly. Patience is required due to the time-consuming process but success is rewarding.
- Travel within a working day and overnight absence from home may be occasionally required. This will usually be to meet with other breeders and farmers or to attend trade shows.
- Opportunities to work abroad occasionally arise but these positions commonly require previous overseas experience. The vacancies are usually short term.
A good honours degree is required and relevant subjects include life and medical sciences and agricultural and horticultural sciences. In particular, the following degree subjects are helpful:
- agriculture;
- biology;
- biotechnology;
- botany and plant science;
- crop and plant science;
- genetics;
- horticulture;
- molecular biology.
A postgraduate qualification in a relevant topic can be advantageous.
Entry with a HND is only possible for technical support roles in breeding programmes. It may be possible to work your way up from here to the role of plant breeder/geneticist, if further qualifications are studied for.
Undertaking a relevant undergraduate or postgraduate project or choosing a PhD funded by industry will make you more competitive during the application process. It will also be a way to gain useful contacts that could lead to employment opportunities.
You will need to have:
- enthusiasm, commitment and a strong interest in plants and plant science;
- good problem-solving skills;
- excellent oral and written communication skills;
- the ability to carry out work independently and with patience;
- a flexible approach;
- the ability and stamina to undertake research and long-term projects;
- the skills to manage a busy laboratory;
- strong team-working skills;
- an analytical and investigative mind;
- computer literacy and technical skills, as most laboratories are highly computerised.
Some posts may require a driving licence.
Work experience
Relevant pre-entry experience will increase your chances, e.g. vacation work or a sandwich placement in a plant breeding company/laboratory or agricultural setting. Most companies take students over the summer, especially during harvesting. Posts are usually advertised on individual company websites.
You should research the industry to determine which area you would like to work in. You will need to consider which areas are likely to be most commercially in demand in the future.
Plant breeding is a specialised field, and because of this the number of vacancies is low, but so is the pool of applicants. This means that those with relevant experience (perhaps through a summer job or placement with a plant breeding company), and relevant subjects of study have a reasonable chance of securing a position.
Modern plant breeding is an increasingly sophisticated, high-investment business. The majority of commercial plant breeding takes place within the private sector. Plant breeding work is also carried out in a limited number of research institutes.
Plant breeders are employed in a range of areas including:
- government research agencies;
- commercial plant breeding companies;
- genetic engineering firms;
- seed specialists.
The British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) has more than 50 member organisations made up of research institutes, companies that actively breed in the UK, and breeders' agents who represent varieties from continental breeders in the UK.
Government agricultural research agencies include a number of institutes funded or grant-aided by the:
- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)
- Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
- Scottish Government Rural and Environment Research and Analysis Directorate (RERAD)
The particular research institutes include:
Breeding work in these institutes is funded and undertaken by the commercial firms represented by the BSPB.
In the future, plants could be developed into 'biological factories' to harvest custom proteins and materials such as commercially valuable chemicals, vaccines, drugs, biodegradable plastics and biofuels. This is likely to lead to increased opportunities for employment within a range of biotechnology companies. However, these roles are likely to be slightly different from the role of a plant breeder/geneticist.
Look for job vacancies at:
A list of members, which can be used as a source of contact details for enquiring about student placements or making speculative applications is available via the British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB). Most BSPB members advertise vacancies on their own company website.
Vacancies are sometimes handled by recruitment agencies such as MorePeople.
Get more tips on how to find a job, create a successful CV and cover letter, and prepare for interviews.
Professional development
The necessary scientific training is usually given on the job. Because of the nature of the role, learning the required skills while you work is an essential part of the job, and you will do this with the support of your team and manager.
It is possible to be seconded to a university to study for a further degree, or to carry this out on a part-time basis.
A PhD is considered to be appropriate training for research scientists wanting to achieve more senior positions. In addition to academic institutions, specialist research institutes offer PhD studentships, such as the:
- John Innes Centre
- Rothamsted Research
Some companies offer structured training programmes, which provide the opportunity to gain experience in different areas. More structured training is usually available for research scientists in commercial firms and government-funded research institutes.
This training will include learning and updating skills, techniques and knowledge, often by attending seminars and conferences.
Training increasingly includes short courses that focus on specific 'soft' skills, such as public speaking and time management. In smaller companies, for those with broader-based roles, training may cover practical skills such as tractor or forklift driving.
Management training is often available for managing research teams or for non-science management posts.
Some plant breeders may wish to enhance their training by overseas experience, which might take the form of a period of overseas study, a visit to an overseas breeding organisation or presenting work at an international conference.
Continuing professional development (CPD) is important for plant breeders/geneticists. Attending events and conferences can help, as well as reading industry press and keeping up to date with relevant news. Useful organisations that can aid CPD are:
- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)
- British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB)
- Chartered Institute of Horticulture
- The James Hutton Institute
Career prospects
Promotion to senior research/breeding positions is dependent on ability, performance and experience. Progression will involve increased responsibilities, including supervision, project management and senior management.
In larger companies, an increase in seniority will involve a shift from direct laboratory and field work, to more strategic and budgetary responsibilities, as well as people management.
If you have worked in the public sector, you may want to make a shift to the private sector. Commercial opportunities exist in international companies, specialised seed firms and an increasing number of biotechnology and genetic engineering firms.
Opportunities are also available overseas.
In research councils and institutes, career development means moving through bands from research scientist to senior research scientist.
If you have studied for a PhD relating to plant breeding, it will be possible to go on to take up a post-doctoral position, possibly then moving to a senior research fellowship.
Because many of the plant breeding/development teams are small, there are limited vacancies, meaning that developing your career may not be a quick process and it can be challenging.

After the typical chores, Britta and I set out for a late lunch/early dinner. We sat and talked for a long time over salad, pizza and wine. The meseta is the second of three stages.

Would a red belllied pacu do ok with a tiger oscar in a 75g tank?And also are pacus illegal in any states? :)
I wouldn't be surprised if they were illegal in some states. However, a 75g tank is not suitable for a pacu long-term. These fish get very large (over two feet) and need about 300 gallons minimum as adults.

I miss you like the sun misses the moon, cliché but true. Not many, I believe can fully understand what that means. I never see you. In fact we are perpetually opposite each other. Not only are you not around, you are never around. But how valiant is it of me to call myself the sun? You are the bright star that lightens up my life. You are the optimistic one with their head in the clouds. Can I even call myse,lf the moon. For I could not measure up to the moon's beauty as you can. You outshine the sun Olivia, you are not only planets but stars. You are as powerful as Orion, as fierce as Leo, as cunning as Scorpio. The Milky Way, in its vast array of planets and stars could not do you justice. You are so perfect that the universe bends at your will and all you should want you may have. Yet with all that power, you still will not choose me. You will keep on shining, and I shall continue to dwell in the darkness, the places where your radiant light cannot touch. For I deserve not to feel your warmth, see your light, or be touched by you; the goddess of the sky.

The Panel considers that the food constituent, supplemental folate, which is the subject of the claim, is sufficiently characterised. Increasing maternal folate status by supplemental folate intake is a beneficial physiological effect in the context of reducing the risk of neural tube defects. In weighing the evidence, the Panel took into account that the association between low maternal folate intakes and an increased risk of neural tube defects is well established, and that a recent systematic review showed an effect of maternal folic acid intakes on the risk of neural tube defects. The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has been established between increasing maternal folate status by supplemental folate intake and a reduced risk of neural tube defects. © European Food Safety Authority, 2013 Keywords: Folate, neural tube defects, NTD, health claims Print on demand Number of Pages: 9

Ben Stiller, in full Joaquin Phoenix beard, with Natalie Portman. Stiller keeps the Phoenix gag going. "I just want to retire from being the funny guy," he says. Mild giggles, but too drawn out. Some audience laughs while Stiller is off camera, then in the shot, wandering over to look at clips on the big screen and other parts of the set. "Tropic Thunder" was much funnier, Ben.
Cinematography winner: "Slumdog Millionaire." Anthony Dod Mantle, with what looks like Princess Leia hair gotten loose. Thanks include the academy, wife, ma and pa, brother, sister, Danny Boyle and thousands of people.
Jessica Biel, wrapped in a curtain, gives the technical awards winners their brief moment.
Comedy showcased in short Judd Apatow film with James Franco and Seth Rogen, and jokes about "The Love Guru," "Step Brothers"; laughing at "The Reader"; "Tropic Thunder," "Mamma Mia" -- with a great song by Rogen/Franco; more laughing at "Doubt"; good reaction to Franco kissing scenes in "Milk"; staple-gun bit in "The Wrestler" (you really don't want to see the whole movie sequence) and a special appearance by Janusz Kaminski, Oscar-winning cinematographer.
Best live-action short: "Spielzeugland (Toyland)."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

good place for quality ice cream. standard service with tastes if you want them. good selection of flavors. don't use the drug store parking lot, they don't like it.
I have a favorite ice cream that I don't find at every place. They have it here. I try to visit one of the locations every time I'm passing through Louisville.
I stopped in because it was next to the restaurant I had lunch at, a pleasant surprise because was at the wrong restaurant location and didn't know that Graeter's was there. So, I ate lunch, walked around a shop or two and the block then went for the ice cream.
Like most ice cream shops it could use a little...
I am a ice cream fan! If we are traveling and see a shop selling home made ice cream, we usually stop to sample their product. Frankly, besides great students and football teams, the Penn State creamery has, in my opinion, some of the best tasting ice cream going. We stopped at Graeter's while in Louisville, Ky. hoping that I...
Don't miss a trip to Graeter's at any address in the country! So delicious and many different flavors!
I've never had ice cream that curled my toes and awakened the senses like this did. Each flavor I tested was more incredible than the last and made it nearly impossible to choose. Run, don't walk to try something amazing!
Amazing ice cream. We found a way to go back a second time. Lots of really unique flavors. Not just any ice cream shop.
Great ice cream, and we lucked out on the pint sale for Labor Day!
Mocha Chip, Key Lime Pie, Coconut Alomnd Chocolate!
We were lucky enough to visit Louisville during the summer and have the limited-time peach ice cream. It was the creamiest and yummiest ice cream I've had. It was full of chunks of fresh peach. Delicious. Well worth the 15 minute wait in line.
There's no other ice cream shops in town that my wife would rather I take her! The ice cream is fantastic in this place! Good value for what you get. Great staff. Great ice cream.

We're 24 hours away from a much-anticipated episode of "Lost." Of course, at this point, just about every episode of the show is anticipated, what with this being the antepenultimate edition and all before the show goes dark. As I mentioned in my last post featuring Tuesday night's chat, the identity of the character(s) around which this episode is considered off-limits until an hour before game time, at which point we will discuss things in the chat itself. So please, refrain from talking about specific identities when engaging in the comments below. If you mention him/her/them, I'll delete the comment. We good? Good.
With that in mind, here are five questions that I think we should be asking in anticipation of this week's episode. I have no clue about the specific content of "Across the Sea," nor do I have any spoilerish information about it to which these five questions will be alluding. If you're worried that these five questions might give away the topic of this week's episode, by all means, stop right now. I won't be offended. I only know because someone on my Facebook thread decided it would be AWESOME to announce it a few months ago after news of it came out. Along with the titles of the final two episodes. That was a truly EPIC FAIL day for social media. Anyways, I understand if you want to stop now.
In fact, I'll give you a few more inches of space, lest your eyes wander to the bottom of the page accidentally.
See? I'm thoughtful like that.
I think we're good at this point.
Yup, we're good. Asking away now…
1) Who was the very smart man that figured out to look for where the Island will be, not where it is?
A few weeks back, I hosted a double-feature of "White Rabbit"/"316" during the off-week, and I didn't even address this little bit of info from Eloise Hawking. We'd long assumed it was either Daniel Faraday, Pierre Chang, or even one of the Degroots. But what if a non-scientific, albeit rather brilliant, mind planted the seed into someone else's head in order to either help find a loophole or accelerate the progress of the Island's social experiment?
2) Did Christian Shephard ever get a visit from The Man in Black, Jacob, or both?
Looking back at Christian's pre-Island actions in the Island-verse, you can make a case that he alternately prepared certain players for the Island or tried to steer certain players away from their seemingly inevitable fate. In the sideways world, he made sure Claire got a music box with a song that harkened back to the Island timeline. What did he know about the events to come, and at what point did he start to know it? His appearances pre- and post-death (in addition to the mysterious location of his corpse in two timelines) bespeaks levels of involvement not yet revealed on the show.
3) Why did Charles Widmore start having nightmares?
In "The Shape of Things to Come," Widmore tells Ben that he only started sleeping with a bottle of MacCutcheon whiskey "when the nightmares started." The show never delved further into the specific nature of these nightmares, but personally, I'm rather curious about why they started in the first place. Simple guilt? Seems a bit too easy. In a universe in which influences from the Island extend far beyond mere time and space, I can see a particular source for those vivid, horrid images popping into Charles' head.
4) Why does The Man in Black know so much about the Island's wells?
It's easy to point to any knowledge that Jacob and The Man in Black have about the Island as accumulated information gleaned over the course of a few millennia puttering about over the large, yet limited, landscape. But we still don't know the specific circumstances around the arrival of these two men to the Island (assuming they arrived at all, and weren't merely part of the Island from Day One). With the Island ideally appreciated, not exploited, did the circumstances around the status of these two Island titans start around the time a certain donkey wheel was installed, perhaps by The Man in Black himself?
5) Which came first: the chicken or the Des?
I've used the phrase "it's turtles all the way down" a lot during my Season 6 analysis. But that, I mean that you can argue any point you like almost ad infinitum and come out with something plausible, if potentially incorrect. So, it's a chicken/egg dichotomy. The question at hand: Was Desmond's involvement in the Island saga planned or accidental? If he was the key to Eloise and Charles' long-term plans (born from Daniel's diary, implemented via around-the-world race), then why pick the man whose love for Charles' daughter could be their potential undoing? Is their relationship in and of itself a course correction, something that will always undo the evil that the two former leaders of The Others have in mind? Given all the "Wizard of Oz" references on this show, I'm amazed at how much of this show still revolves around a once cowardly (and Scottish) lion.

Angelina Jolie became the subject of controversy in China, after she labelled film director Ang Lee Taiwanese, not Chinese, inadvertently embroiling herself in complex cross-Strait relations.
The Maleficent actress was asked at a press conference to name her favourite Chinese director, to which she responded with Lee – who created Brokeback Mountain and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"I am not sure if you consider Ang Lee Chinese, he's Taiwanese but he does many Chinese-language films with many Chinese artists and actors, and I think his works and the actors in his films are the ones I am most familiar with and very fond of," she said.
Lee was born in Pingtung, in southern Taiwan, but Jolie's comment angered some Chinese natives who were offended by the implication that Taiwan and China are separate countries.

"By implying that Taiwan and China are two separate countries, in a moment of excitement, a brilliant woman [Jolie] became a stupid laughing stock," said one Chinese Weibo user.
There has been tension between Taiwan and China since 1949, when Nationalists established a rival government on the island after the Chinese civil war.
It has been independent since then, but China still claims sovereignty. Relations have warmed since 2008 when China-friendly President Ma Ying-jeou took office. However, Taiwan is still seen as a breakaway province.
Some internet users called for a boycott of Jolie's films, with one branding those who continue to watch her work as "traitorous". Another commenter called her a "deranged Taiwan independence supporter".
Jolie is currently in London for a four-day conference held with William Hague, which aims to end sexual violence in conflict.Reuse content

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 3.1.1_dev
Component/s: admin
ogs-3.1.1-b11-07_04_2011-aix.zip, Firefox 5 on Windows XP
When a new instance is added to an existing cluster, status for all previously running instances is changed from "running" to "restart required". Adding an instance to a cluster should not require cluster restart. This is specifically problematic, since user cannot look up the reason for restart required messages for instances other than DAS in Admin Console.
Steps to reproduce:
In Admin Console:
1. Create a cluster with one instance, e.g. cl1 with cl1in1, on localhost-domain1 node.
2. Start cluster.
3. Go to cluster cl1, Instances page and click on New.
4. Fill in the instance name, e.g. cl1in2, and click OK. Note that after creation page with instances is displayed and the existing instance, cl1in1, has status "restart required".
The same status is reported by CLI:
/export/sqe/lidia/glassfish3/glassfish/nodes/localhost-domain1/cl1in1/logs % asadmin list-instances
in1 running
cl1in1 running; requires restart
cl1in2 not running
No errors or warnings are present in DAS server.log and the following warning is present in the first clustered instance server.log (cl1in1):
_ThreadName=Thread-9;|Unprocessed event : UnprocessedChangeEvent
, reason = The system-property, OSGI_SHELL_TELNET
_PORT, that is referenced by the Java configuration, was modified, when = 130991
Confirmed the reported behavior.
The root cause of this problem is that the GenericJavaConfigListener assumes that it is receiving SystemProperty change events only for its own system properties. However, it also receives change events for other instances that are added to the configuration. To fix this, it needs to ignore those events.
Changed Summary to better reflect the problem. Also, this is a regression compared with Glassfish 3.1 b43.
The reason why this bug doesn't show up in 3.1 but does show up in 3.1.1 is because there was a mistake in the implement of the fix for issue
GLASSFISH-15987 which was implemented during the 3.1.1 release cycle.
Why fix this issue in 3.1.1?
This is a regression of functionality from a previous release (3.1).
Which is the targeted build of 3.1.1 for this fix?
Build 11
Do regression tests exist for this issue?
Which tests should QA (re)run to verify the fix did not destabilize GlassFish?
Tests related to changing system-properties that are referenced by JVM options.
Fixed in revision 47933 on the trunk
and in revision 47934 on the 3.1.1 branch.

Pancreatic cancer (adenocarcinoma) is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and carries the worst prognosis, with median life expectancy of less than a year. As the disease is diagnosed at a late stage, treatment options are limited. Surgery only modestly improves life expectancy. Pancreatic adenocarcinomas are highly refractile to conventional chemotherapies. Relative to radiation and paclitaxal, gemcitabine is recognized to be the more efficacious drug. The sobering statistic, however, is that gemcitabine only extends patient survival by several months over other therapies. The molecular basis for chemoresistance is likely to be highly complex, as combination therapies with gemcitabine have met with limited success. There is an urgent need to identify methods to enhance sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells to chemotherapy. In preliminary experiments, we conducted a genome-wide siRNA screen to identify genes responsible for gemcitabine sensitivity. We identified a small collection of genes that include the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and various associated interacting and downstream genes. We have validated VDR to be an important determinant of gemcitabine sensitivity in vitro. Using an independent set of VDR siRNAs, gemcitabine sensitization was achieved in two cell lines (Panc1 and BXPC3) as determined by clonogenic survival. VDR is a nuclear hormone receptor that is best known for its ability to regulate genes important for calcium homeostasis and mineralization of bone. However, the activities of VDR are vast and complex as its also known for its anti-proliferative properties and is being tested in combination with cytotoxic agents for cancer treatment. We have found that VDR is required for the formation of DNA damaged foci in cells treated with DNA damaging agents. Chemosensitization of cells lacking VDR may therefore be due to disruption of DNA damage response that promote cell survival. This proposal seeks to extend the recent finding that the natural compound curcumin is a ligand for VDR. The use of curcumin as a chemosensitizer is well documented but its mode of action remains obscure. These observations combined with our preliminary data leads us to propose that curcumin acts via VDR to enhance chemosensitzation of pancreatic cancer cells. Furthermore, as the cytoprotective actions of VDR is known to depend on the context of mutant p53 status, the impact on curcumin induced chemosensitization will also be assessed. Our studies have significant clinical ramifications as a large proportion of pancreatic tumors and cell lines express mutant p53. The status of p53 may dictate whether to treat cancer patients with a vitamin D analog or antagonist and curcumin along with standard chemotherapy.
Preliminary studies identified the vitamin D pathway to play an important role in determining response of pancreatic cancer cell lines to chemotherapy. Curcumin is a bioactive compound that exhibits chemosensitizing activity, although clinical efficacy is moderate at best. We seek to study the molecular mechanisms as to how curcumin and VDR may enhance gemcitabine cell killing as a step towards improving diagnostic and treatment strategies for pancreatic cancer patients.

|Re: Creating splits/tasks at the client
|Fri, 29 Sep 2006 07:20:55 GMT
I please correct me if I'm reading the code incorrectly, but it seems like submitJob puts the submitted job on the jobInitQueue which is immediately dequeued by the JobInitThread and then initTasks() will get the file splits and create Tasks. Thus, it doesn't seem like there is any difference in memory foot print. ben Doug Cutting wrote: > > Right, so JobSubmissionProtocol.submitJob(String jobFile) could be > altered to be submitJob(StringJobFile, Split[]).
