this is the cult of Mac.

few days ago my sister who just turned 12 this year asking me something special as her birthday present. you know kid nowadays has demand a lot. i politely asked her what she wants to have,and she said iPad or Apple Macbook Pro would be. OH Mengade Gile (OMG)! what made she thinks like that,technology has greatly influenced everyone you see. well,i'm not very a gadget junkie,but this article has grabbed my attention while i was browsing on that so and so-Ipad. i wanna share something funny about this latest invention from Apple.

tadaaa! 

 I wonder why they didn't come out with good name that makes sense. Opps,i have to sorry first. no offence here,for those who've bought ipad,he/she might be proud of it no matter what,suke hati la kan. i suke canggih,you hado? *em,takpela,it doesn't worth it,anyway,why should i spend my money on that? iPad may looks sophisticated to some people. but there's always have pros and cons in everything. well,nothing's perfect. Anyway here are the top 10 iPad disappointments.

1. The name. iPod may have been cool, but iPad just seems lazy. And it sounds like a sanitary towel.

2. Battery life. "Up to 10 hours" is unlikely to be more than a claim in real-world situations. Turn on wi-fi or 3G and expect to need to charge it twice a day.

3. No keyboard. OK, I know that's sort of the point, but how many people want big-screen portable computing without a real keyboard? Keyboards on notebooks protect the screen, too.

4. No USB ports, and you need to buy a Camera Connection Kit to plug in an SD card to transfer your digital photos from a camera.

5. No camera. That means no video chat or Skype video calling. Some people use such things a lot, I'm reliably informed.

6. The price. The base model without 3G (and hence rather limited on the move) is $499 which will probably actually convert to just under £500 for the UK market. iPods cost more on a like-for-like basis in Europe than the US, and the top spec iPads, at around $850, are going to be pretty expensive compared to the competition if that's the case here.

7. No Adobe Flash support. The supposedly best browsing experience doesn't let you use one of the most popular formats for animation and video on the web.

8. Iffy GPS. There's something called Assisted GPS which relies on Wi-Fi or 3G but there's no built-in GPS receiver.

9. No applications multi-tasking apart from for a few apps that come with the device.

10. The name, again. Oh, and limited operator coverage (currently only on AT&T in the US, no word on UK carriers yet). And the closed application ecosystem. And the likely fragility of the thing. And the potential for the screen to get smeary when you keep touching it. And the fact you will become a target for thieves as early iPod users were. And no high definition video output. And the aspect ratio isn't widescreen. And bright screens are a strain on the eye compared to the digital ink technology of rival e-readers...

And now,here comes the funny part. Apple's iPad emergence has prompted a score of WTFing across the internet, prompting many to ask, "Are there any women on Apple's marketing team?" Answer: Apparently not. (Period.)

From Twitter (for what it's worth, #iTampon is apparently the number three trending topic on the site.

):

tjakabon: "It surfs the web AND stops the bleeding."

Gelatobaby: And you can use the giant QWERTY keyboard to get your period on the #iPad!

CarolBlymire: Is #apple making an iPad for light-flow days? Just wondering...

Trish1981: iPad? Really? All I can say is, I'm sticking with Always, bitches.

tremendousnews: So I can say "That chick is on her iPad" and not be called a pig? Thank you Apple.

melissapierce: iPad has changed "the conversation" from how we use tech in context to how we use tech as Kotex. (who named this thing?)

TwittsMcGee: I haven't heard this many period jokes since I was forced to watch The View last month. #iPad

kathycacace: Okay, just one more. The iPad: protecting your data from embarrassing incidents.

Johnpapa: "64 gig iPad will forever be known as the heavy flow model."

From the comments section of "Period Pieces":

lady_justice: Did the prototype come with a belt?

Lymed: Does the Period Tracker app come free?

fauxfruit: If I order this, will my boyfriend and I have to worry if it comes late?

andBegorrah: If you and your friends all buy one, will they sync up?

boston_nj: Meh. I'll wait until they come out with the iDivaCup

morninggloria: Don't wear white jeans while using an iPad, and especially don't use an iPad in front of your 

crush. You're a teen magazine embarrassing moment waiting to happen.

ms negative the easy-going unicorn: someone needs to make a 'mysterious blue liquid stain on white' wallpaper for this.

LilSpitfire: Later in the year they will be releasing the companion tablet pen, the Ipon.

Vesuvius At Home (I believe in peace, bitch): But what if the cute boys see me shopping for one? What if my dad has to take me??

NellMood: It's so beautiful when an electronics company finally becomes a woman...

Cinnamoncanuck: @NellMood: Aunt Flo will be so happy! Reply

soykatrina: Eh, I prefer the CVS brand. A few bucks less but does the same thing...

vlvtjones: So will iffy Wifi coverage be called iSpotting?

morninggloria: Can I get a scented iPad for when my data feels not-so-fresh?

Mary McCarthyite: Everyone, just try to Stay(free) calm and Poise(d). It's Always nice to see a new product on the market. I Depend on Apple to come up with great ideas. Maybe we're taking this out of Kotex.

Lymed: Somebody give the iPad a Red Bull, because it ain't no good without wings.

Begorrah: Are you there, God? It's me, Marketing.

NellMood: iPads are for 8th graders. I'm waiting for the iTampon, because I prefer to do all my interneting from inside my vagina.

BicSharpie: Hopefully it will help people deal with the 24-hour news cycle.


well,people still buy it.

Mungkin period tak datang lagi. Dah 2 hari tunggu. Ini bermaksud,hormon aku dah tak betul. Mcm mane ni. kesuburan tergendala. Aku masih dara. This is not cool. Distract my mood. Dear uterus,please do your job. Please.

Fruits rule.

When we are hungry - and I mean really hungry - fruit is often the most satisfying food we can eat. Is there anything better than to devour a delicious ripe mango on a hot summer day? Or to bite into a luscious, freshly-picked apple? Or to enjoy a sweet, juicy ripe orange? Is there any man-made dish that can beat the perfection of a fully ripe cherry?

Fruits have been consumed by human beings going as far back in time as we know, whereas grains, legumes and dairy products have only been cultivated for 10,000 years or less, which is just a breath in the life of humanity. Anthropological studies have shown that fruit has been an important part of the human diet for hundreds of thousands of years.

However, we were never told that there was a difference in the times that they must be consumed. It's important to know how and when to eat fruit, especially if losing unwanted fat is an issue.

The truth is:

1. Fruit should not be eaten after meals

2. Fruit should be eaten on an empty stomach.

If eaten the correct way, fruit will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for losing belly fat and other life activities. Nevertheless, if the fruit is intercepted by food on the way to the intestines along with toxins, bloating occur.

Meanwhile, the entire meal rots and ferments, thus turning to acid as soon as the fruit and other digestive juices in the stomach make contact. At this point the meal obviously begins to spoil and remain in the stomach. This acid build-up has resulted in complaints of wanting to burp after fruits like watermelon. Or, having a desire for a trip to the bathroom after eating bananas. None of this would occur if fruit is consumed on an empty stomach.

When we master the correct way of eating fruits, we would then have discovered the secret of effective weight loss, beauty, longevity, health, energy, and overall happiness.

Always keep in mind that if the urge arises to drink fruit juice – take only fresh fruit juice. At all cost avoid the processed type. The same go for cooked fruit, which loses it’s nutrients during the process, with the taste being all that is left. With that said, be aware that eating the actual fruit is always better than drinking the juice. If however, you are going to have some juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful and slowly, allowing it to mix with the saliva before swallowing it.

Fruit consumption is such an important part of our diet when trying to lose stomach fat, that it is at times recommended to go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse the body (just fruits and juices throughout the 3 days). Positive results were reported using these fruits:-

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. It’s Vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit - Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits. They protect the body from cancer-causing, blood-vessel clogging free radicals.

ORANGE: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2 to 4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, as well as lessen the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher: Composed of 92% water, some vitamin C and potassium. It’s also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system, along with lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation, while Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes.

Postcards From Italy

Beirut

The time we had 

Oh,when the wind would blow with rain and snow

Were not all bad

We put our feet just where they had

Had to go

Never to go

The shattered soul

Following close but heavy twice as slow

Were my good times

There were always golden rocks to throw

At those who

Those who admit defeat too late

Those were our times

Those were our times

And i will love to see that day

That day is mine

When she will marry me

Outside with the willow trees

And playing songs in May

What made me so

And i'd love to see that day

The day was mine.

-150515-
i do.

dying to sleep

Please view the video first.

Actually this is the case that i studied in psychology class this morning. It's about: SLEEP DISORDER . Everybody should concern about this matter cuz serious sleep disorder will likely lead to death. So,do not take sleep for granted okay. 

Sleep is one of the human body’s biological rhythms.Humans, like most animals and plants, have biological rhythms, known as circadian rhythms, which are controlled by a biological clock and work on a daily time scale.

These affect body temperature, alertness, appetite, hormone secretion as well as sleep timing. The sleep-wake is a circadian rhythm as it occurs at least once during 24 hours. Within a circadian, a person usually sleeps approximately 8 hours.

Falling asleep and waking up are controlled by a number of chemical changes in the brain and the blood. Foods and medicines that alter the balance of these chemicals also can affect how well we sleep. For example, caffeine, which is found in coffee, tea, colas, and chocolate, can cause insomnia (lack of sleep) and antidepressants, alcohol, and smoking can cause a loss of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Smoking and alcohol also can result in a loss of deep sleep. Both REM and deep sleep are essential parts of the normal sleep cycle.

Why Does the Body Need Sleep?

Sleep is essential for normal immune system function and to maintain the ability to fight disease and sickness. Sleep also is essential for normal nervous system function and the ability to function both physically and mentally. In addition, sleep is essential for learning and for normal, healthy cell growth. A good sleep is important for memory and the ability to think well.

Stages of Sleep

There are 4 stages of sleep that cycle over and over again during a single night's rest: stages 1, 2, 3, 4 and REM (rapid eye movement). Stages 1 through 4 are also known as non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM).  A complete sleep cycle, from the beginning of stage 1 to the end of REM, usually takes about an hour and a half.

Stage 1 is light sleep during which the muscles begin to relax and a person can be easily awakened. 

Stage 2, brain activity slows down and eye movement stops. Stages 3 and 4 comprise deep sleep, during which all eye and muscle movement ceases. It can be difficult to wake a person during deep sleep.

Stage 3 is characterized by very slow brain waves (delta waves), interspersed with small, quick waves.

Stage 4, the brain waves are all delta waves.

It is during deep sleep that some people sleepwalk and children may experience bedwetting. It is during REM sleep that dreams occur. The muscles of the body stiffen, the eyes move, the heart rate increases, breathing becomes more rapid and irregular, and the blood pressure rises.

SLEEP DISORDER

Everyone experiences occasional sleep problems, but getting a good night’s sleep is essential for feeling refreshed and alert during the day. Lack of sleep might make you feel foggy and unable to concentrate, or just a lesser version of your normal self. Sleep problems will eventually disrupt your work, family and personal relationships.

TYPES OF SLEEP PROBLEMS

• Insomnia

Almost everyone will be affected by insomnia at some point during life. Insomnia – a short term or chronic inability to get high quality sleep – is a common sleep problem and can be caused by a variety of things including stress, a change in time zones, an altered sleep schedule or poor bedtime habits. Whether your problem is an occasional sleepless night or a series of them, plenty of solutions exist to help you get better sleep.

The great news is that insomnia doesn’t have to be a permanent problem. In many cases, self help techniques, including improved sleep hygiene, relaxation and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), can alleviate insomnia and promote better health as well as better sleep. Helpguide has two articles devoted to a wide range of insomnia cures and self help tips for improving your sleep.

Medications should be a last resort for insomnia – they do not provide lasting treatment and have numerous possible side effects.

• Sleep apnea

Symptoms of sleep apnea include:Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that can be potentially very serious, and even life-threatening. In sleep apnea, your breathing stops or gets very shallow while you are sleeping. Each pause in breathing typically lasts 10 to 20 seconds or more, and the pauses can occur 20 to 30 times or more an hour. During the episodes of apnea, the sleeper wakes up to breathe again, disrupting sleep, and also suffers from a brief lack of oxygen.

• Frequent gaps in breathing during sleep (apnea)
• Gasping or choking for air to restart breathing, often causing sleeper or partner to wake
• Loud snoring
• Feeling unrefreshed after a night’s sleep and excessive daytime tiredness

The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea. Causes of sleep apnea are generally physical in nature, including excess weight or tissue (sometimes from being overweight or obese), large tonsils or adenoids, nasal congestion or blockage or a unique shaped head, neck or chin.

CPAP, a mechanical device worn while sleeping which provides continuous air pressure to keep the airway open, is the most recommended treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea. CPAP can take some getting used to, but provides effective relief when used correctly.

Self help treatments, like losing weight, elevating the head of the bed or sleeping on your side, can also be effective remedies for mild to moderate sleep apnea. Dental appliances and surgery are also treatment options.

• Snoring

Snoring, which is sometimes confused with sleep apnea, can be a significant obstacle to quality sleep both for yourself and your partner.

Snoring is caused by a narrowing of your airway, either from poor sleep posture, excess weight or physical abnormalities of your throat. A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth breathing and creates the sound of snoring. The snoring noise doesn’t necessarily that the airway is obstructed, as it is in sleep apnea. Snoring may accompany sleep apnea, but not always.

There are many self help remedies and cures for snoring. If you are a mild snorer, sleeping on your side, elevating the head of your bed, or losing weight may stop the snoring. Don’t give up trying to find a solution for your snoring – it will make you and your partner sleep better.

• Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and Periodic Limb Movements in Sleep (PLMS)

Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) is a related condition involving involuntary, rhythmic limb movements, either while asleep or when awake. While most people who have Restless Legs Syndrome also have PLMD, only some people with PLMD also have RLS.Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder causing an almost irresistible urge to move the legs (or arms). The urge to move occurs when resting or lying down and is usually due to uncomfortable, tingly, or creeping sensations in the legs or affected limbs. Movement eases the feelings, but only for a while.

RLS can occur on its own or be related to other medical conditions, such as anemia, kidney disease, pregnancy, thyroid problems, Parkinson’s or alcoholism. RLS may run in families.

Alternative therapies, lifestyle changes, and even nutritional supplements have proven helpful for RLS and PLMD sufferers.

• Narcolepsy

The “sleep attacks” experienced by people with narcolepsy occur even after getting enough sleep at night, and make it difficult for people to live normal lives. Falling asleep during activities like walking, driving or working can have dangerous results.Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that causes extreme sleepiness and may even make a person fall asleep suddenly and without warning. Specific causes of narcolepsy are not known but people with narcolepsy are lacking hypocretin, a brain chemical which regulates sleep and wakefulness.

Symptoms of narcolepsy include:

• Intermittent, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the daytime
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Sudden, short-lived loss of muscle control during emotional situations (cataplexy)

Narcolepsy may be genetic, but it also appears to be influenced by environmental triggers. Treatment requires a combination of medication, behavioral treatments, and counseling.


DIAGNOSE

Self-diagnosis

To determine if you have a sleep disorder, first pay attention to your sleep habits and daily routine. Keeping a record of your sleep patterns will help you and your doctor find the cause of your sleep problems.

A sleep diary, compiled by you and your sleep partner, can highlight lifestyle factors related to sleep disorders, and help your doctor or sleep specialist, if you choose to see one. A sleep diary should record all sleep-related information, including:

• time you went to bed and woke up (total sleep hours)
• quality of your sleep - times that you were awake and activity (e.g., stayed in bed with eyes closed, or got up, had a glass of milk, and meditated)
• types and amount of food, liquids, caffeine, or alcohol you consumed before bed, and times of consumption
• feelings and moods before bed – happiness, sadness, stress, anxiety
• drugs or medications taken, amounts taken, and times of consumption

The details can be important, and a sleep diary might reveal that your pre-bedtime behavior is ruining your chance for a good night’s sleep. For example, after keeping the diary for a week your might notice that more than two alcoholic drinks in the evening disrupts your sleep or that regular exercise helps you sleep better.

Seeing a doctor

 Doctors will consider many things before making a diagnosis including:

• description of symptoms
• age and gender
• psychological and medical history
• sleep diary and sleep questionnaire
• possible medical conditions
• medical tests
• sleep center data

Your doctor will probably suggest behavioral and environmental changes as first steps of your treatment. Regardless of your sleep problem, a consistent sleep routine and improved sleep habits will translate into better sleep over the long term.




VERSE FROM QURAN:

Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. Az- Zumar:42
