Politician Raffles Off a Breast Augmentation to Raise Money!


No, this politician is not in the United States. Gustavo Rojas, who is campaigning to be an alternate in Venezuela's General Assembly is raffling off a boob job at $6 a ticket as a fundraising tool. He claims it's no different than raffling off a TV set.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) would disagree. This society (which I am a proud member of) has ruled that offering plastic surgery services as part of a promotion or raffle is unethical, since it trivializes the serious nature of plastic surgery and may influence people to undergo surgery they may not want or be a good candidate for. I can see the rationale behind this ethical rule, but don't necessarily agree with it.

That being said, there are radio stations which have raffled off free breast augmentations as their "Breast Christmas Ever" promotions using questionable non-ASPS surgeons. Is it really a "prize" to have one of these surgeons operate on you? Sounds more like a punishment to me!

Has Serena Williams Had a Rhinoplasty?



Has tennis great Serena Williams had a rhinoplasty? According to the Daily Mail, Serena underwent surgery for damage from broken glass on July 15th. Did she have a rhinoplasty too?
According to these photos the answer may be yes. Her nose looks thinner and more sleek. The bridge of the nose looks like it may be built up, possibly by a silicone implant. She looks great, nose job or not.

Sports Illustrated recently named her the greatest female tennis player ever. I disagree with this. Steffi Graf is the best female tennis player in the Open era. Had Monica Seles not been stabbed by a crazed fan, she might be number 2. I loved her 'two-fisted' attack!

Membuat RSS Feed Untuk Website Yang Tidak Mendukung Feed


Website standar atau jadul biasanya tanpa dukungan
Rss Feed, ini berbeda jika kita
menggunakan platform blog seperti Blogger, Wodpress dan platform lainya yang
memang sudah terlebih dahulu tertanam sindikasi Rss Feed. Keutamaan Rss Feed
tidak lain adalah sebagai cara termudah agar pembaca (subscriber) feed via online dapat mengetahui
update terbaru pada suatu situs,  selain itu tentu saja peran Rss Feed
sangatlah besar bagi spider search engine agar dapat mengindex semua halaman
Website.


 


Tutorial kali ini saya akan menunjukan bagaimana mudahnya membuat Rss Feed
dengan cepat tanpa harus menggunakan software tertentu atau tanpa harus menulis
baris kode XML yang bikin kita pusing.


 


Tutorial Membuat Feed dengan Goolge Reader:


 


Langkah I:


1. Silahkan kunjungi
Google Reader
, login seperti biasa.


2. Tuju ke Notes







3. Arahkan mouse ke button Note In Reader, lalu drag and drop
button tersebut dengan cara menahan klik dan arahan ke tab bookmark website
rekan (dalam contoh saya menggunakan browser Flock)







 

Link Google reader yang sudah tersimpan dalam Bookmark









4. Sekarang buka website rekan yang ingin ditambahkan RSS Feed, Contoh disini
saya menggunakan
Premium template
.


5. Blok sebagian tulisan yang menurut rekan penting, mulai dari title dan
deskripsi singkat. Lalu klik Note in Reader yang ada dalam Bookmark







6. Akan muncul Dialog Box Google Reader disebelah kanan.


7. Disini silahkan hilangkan tanda Check untuk Add to shared items, Masukan nama Tag utama kedalam Add Tags (contoh: Zoom Premium), dan
pastikan rekan menggunakan tag yang sama untuk setiap halaman yang akan rekan
buat Feednya.




9. Klik tombol Post Items


 


Langkah II:


1. Tuju ke menu Settings, lalu klik Reader Settings








2. Pilih Tab Folder and Tags


3. Akan tampil nama tag yang sudah rekan buat, jangan lupa set feed berwarna
abu-abu (private) ke Public



4. jangan lupa catat / copy alamat linknya.


 


Langkah III:


Langkah membuat feed sudah hampir selesai, sekarang kita membakar link Feed
yang sudah rekan copy tadi dengan
Feedburner. Maaf saya
tidak menjelaskan panjang lebar tentang pendaftara Feedburner, disini saya
anggap rekan sudah mengerti caranya :)


 


Langkah Terakhir:


Agar website langsung support Rss Feed, rekan hanya perlu menambambahkan kode
di bawah ini kedalam website. Letakan diantara Tag
<Head> </Head>


 


<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="
Title website"
href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/
feedburnerID"
/>


 


 


Note: Jika rekan ingin menambahkan Feed untuk halaman yang baru, rekan
dapat dengan mudah mendistribusikannya melalui RSS feed dengan hanya mengulangi
Langkah I

More Heidi Montag- Steri Strips on Her Nose?


She just keeps looking for attention. Radaronline.com has posted several photos of Heidi Montag in Costa Rica, with her face looking oddly normal except for steri strips on her nose. According to a Life and Style press release:
"The last time I didn't wear tape after surgery and my nose changed shape," she explains. "The tape is supposed to keep the swelling down and hold my nose in place the way Dr. Ryan sculpted it. Dr. Ryan always said I was his best, most cautious patient, and I'm not taking any chances now that he's gone. I don't want my face to fall off like Michael Jackson's."
That's not quite true. Some surgeons place steri strips on the nose for months as a way to reduce swelling. I prefer to take them off at one week, because no one wants to walk around with tape on their nose if they can help it. Unless you're Heidi Montag, I suppose, and are looking for any attention you can get!

e-Junkie: Jualan produk online jadi lebih mudah



Anggap saja saat ini kita
sudah membuat sebuah produk yang siap dijual secara online, entah itu mungkin
produk fisik atau digital, bisa
berupa e-Book, Kaos, Video Tutorial atau
Template Premium, namun masih bingung harus
menjualnya menggunakan layanan apa. Mungkin artikel kali ini akan menjawab
pertanyaan rekan semua bagaimana mudahnya menjual produk kita secara online
menggunakan E-Junkie,
tanpa harus ribet menyediakan script khusus untuk situs jualan dan semua produk
yang ingin dijual bisa dilakukan hanya dengan bermodal Blogger saja.


 


Seperti yang kita ketahui, banyak sekali para penyedia layanan Shoping Card
seperti halnya Click Bank, 1ShoppingCart , PayDotCom dll. Namun kali ini
saya hanya menjelaskan menggunakan layanan e-junkie, karena saya sendiri juga
menggunakannya untuk jualan templale di

premium.zoomtemplate.com
. e-junkie sendiri sebenanya bisa dikatakan sebagai
jasa perantara penjualan online karena mereka sudah terintegrasi oleh banyak
layanan pembayaran standar seperti PayPal , PayPal Pro , Google Checkout ,
Authorize.Net , 2CheckOut , ClickBank dan TrialPay.


 


Banyak keunggulan yang ditawarkan e-jankie jika dibandingkan dengan layanan
penyedia shopping card lainya. Walaupun pada intinya semua sama-sama meyediakan fasilitas
Button Buy Now dan Shopping Card. Dengan e-junkie kita dapat dengan mudah
melakukan setup sederhana, menambah produk, mengeditnya dan melakukan copy-paste
kode html button buy dimana saja pada situs kita.


 


Setiap buyer selesai melakukan pembayaran pada salah satu produk yang kita
jual, maka secara otomatis akan dikirim link download langsung ke email pembeli.
Kelebihan lainnya kita juga bisa mengamankan link download tersebut dengan
batasan waktu tertertu, atau hanya berapa kali link tersebut boleh di download,
mingkin ini salah satu cara terbaik untuk mengamankan link download agar tidak
disalahgunakan oleh pembeli yang "nakal". E-junkie juga menyediakan
fasilitas reseller produk (affiliate), jadi siapa saja dapat menjual kembali
produk kita dengan komisi yang sudah kita tentukan sebelumnya.


 


Sayang, layanan e-junkie ini tidak gratis, harga termurah yang mereka berikan
dimulai dari $5/Bulan dengan kapasitas simpan 50BM. tentu saja ini terbilang
sangat murah jika produk yang kita jual memang laku terjual :), Jangan kawatir
untuk pendaftaran tetap gratis kok selama 7 hari untuk kita bisa mencobanya.


 


Mau akses gratis selama 3 bulan?


Tolong jangan langsung daftar, silahkan bawa COUPON CODE =
PAYPALSPECIAL


Saat daftar pertama kali ke layanan
E-Junkie jangan
lupa masukan Coupon Codenya ya biar bisa 3 bulan mencobanya gratis, khan lumayan
(mudahan Coupon Code-nya masih berlaku)

Heidi Montag Wants Her Implants Out!


The drama regarding this silly woman continues on and on. In the recent issue of Life and Style Weekly, Heidi Montag claims that she is looking to South American plastic surgeons to remove her 700 cc Size G breast implants.

According to the article:
"I'm desperate to go back to normal," she confides to Life & Style. "I'm downgrading and going a little smaller, to a D or a double D."
More than nine months after she went under the knife on Nov. 20, Heidi says she is still in severe pain and her body has not gotten used to the over the top boob job. "I have major anxiety about it. I was taking painkillers but they weren't working so I stopped. It hurt either way,"
Besides being unable to hug her four dogs or wear anything but custom-made clothing, "I'm obsessed with fitness but it's impossible to work out with these boobs," she says. "It's heartbreaking. I can't live an everyday life."
And while Heidi tells Life & Style she is currently shopping for a surgeon in South America, she worries that she'll be trapped in this cartoonish body forever after the untimely passing of her confidant Dr. Ryan. "I feel trapped in my own body," Heidi tells Life & Style.
"There's just no fixing it," she says. "Dr. Ryan knows the work he did, he knows everything."

While I am sure Dr. Ryan was a fabulous plastic surgeon, there are thousands of plastic surgeons who can downsize breast implants successfully. Instead of travelling to South America, maybe she should see a plastic surgeon in the States and spend a few bucks on a shrink. Putting in 700cc implants was probably a mistake in the first place. In the past six years I've put implants this size into a small number of people, and none of them had the tiny frame of Heidi Montag.
