I'm very certain. And it is equally sure that the heat will play better as well. Later 5 consecutive playoff victories the 1st four against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals the pattern is too familiar to ignore The Heat muddled through the 1st half and trailed, 44-43. The Mavericks led 51-43 early in the 3rd quarter. They were still within 4 points, 77-73, with 3:58 to play .All the Mavericks have to do is tweak a few things. Nowitzki won’t shoot that poorly again. Dallas won’t give up 16 offensive rebounds again. The Mavericks didn't become a thirty-seven per cent. They didn't know they were so close and yet so far? Heat is playing with such confidence, such arrogance as the comfort that you can see how it will end. When you plug up one hole against this team, another one crops up. LeBron James (twenty-four points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists), Chris Bosh (19 points, 9 rebounds) and Dwyane Wade (22 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists) combined for the all the Heat’s 16 points in the 1st quarter.

Miami coach Erik Spoelstra called timeout, and heat have countered with a 8-2 run to cut the Mavs' lead to 53-51. It was only a matter of time.

Monaco Grand Prix

Monaco Grand Prix: Friday is the day of the limitation in Monaco, without action on the track and paddock almost empty. Well, not quite. Today it has become a sort of Cannes Film Festival Part II. Cannes ended last week, but I heard today that Leonardo DiCaprio is somewhere here in Monaco. Kim Kardashian, socialite and actress, and the New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries was also around, and today we also had the Spanish model Esther Canadas completely suck all the attention of television cameras and photographers outside the mobile home McLaren Mercedes in the arm of Jenson Button.Down at the Monaco yacht club I turned up for a goodbye party for Paddy McNally, a man behind the scenes in Formula One who set up the corporate hospitality company called the Paddock Club, and who also dealt with the company that sells the track-side advertising at the Grand Prix. McNally is retiring, and at his party were various old friends and colleagues, including Bernie Ecclestone, the F1 promoter. Alain Prost was there as well, as was his son Nicolas, who will race in the Le Mans 24 Hours race in two weeks. At the Ferrari media center motor home, Stefano Domenicali, the team director, spoke to the media in a well attended press conference in which most of the questions were centered on the restructuring of the team after the release of Aldo Costa as technical director. Domenicali did not really say anything more than what the plan, except that he decided to Costa should be replaced now as the new technical team would have been enough time to plan next year's car from scratch, so to speak. The track was a bit 'of activities, F1, but the GP2 Series, which was an accident alright, and when Romain Grosjean was able to rise above the grid to fourth place! Here in Monaco, this is a feat. But he also made a stop by late.

Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now: 10 years ago, Apocalypse Now Redux was released the extended version with all that otherwise could only work on a DVD extra, allows the dinner scene beautifully with the French colonialists static. Now the film has been rereleased in a De‑Redux form, the original theatrical edition, without the credits. There seems hardly anything left to say about Francis Coppola's remarkable epic from 1979, based on Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but it is still an extraordinary experience in the cinema: pre-CGI craziness and spectacle. Every time I watch it, I wonder about a conversation that might have taken place earlier Robert Duvall's Lt Col Kilgore takes Martin Sheen's Willard on his ride-along for the "Wagner helicopter attack" scene. Would you explain that a large number of attack helicopters would take on a psychotic gun-emptive strike disproportionate Vietcong suspect in the center of a farming community Or just the pleasure of announcing that they would kill a group of civilians R'n'R? And the revelation of real fire stations at the end of the scene means that Kilgore is strangely justifies a film to be seen on the big screen.

UFC 130 Fight Card

Recently News UFC 130 Fight Card: You think it was a mistake under the U.S. Marine Brian weekend at Memorial Day celebrations tonight (May 28, 2011) at UFC 130: "Rampage vs. Hamill" pay-per-view? Well, it was not. So coy that Dana White can be when asked this question, it was a strategic decision to position "All American" on the fight card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. But Stan is not only here, because he served our country for nearly a decade, it is there because he just hit the iron-chinned Chris Leben few months ago and he knocks on the door leading to elite means. Stands in his way is a Japanese import, will return to the UFC for his first fight inside the Octagon since dropped consecutive home games in 2006 that was mentioned earlier Leben and "talented" Alan Belcher. Sure, he has collected an incredible record of 11-1 after his release, he won the tournament in 2007 and the average Strikeforce middleweight championship Sengoku (who has never lost). But he did not take that playground within eight sides. There is as real as it gets at least the court of public opinion. That's where he'll try to pick up where he left off, only this time, with much much better results. Star-divide Brian Stann, despite just five years as a professional in mixed martial arts competition, has accomplished more than most. He's a former WEC light heavyweight champion and one of only two men to ever stop Chris Leben by way of strikes. The other? Anderson Silva. Rather, the commitment to hold. Other than that, you can easily trade in a fighter, an American hero, which is larger than life, and it is best to find the guardian of liberty. Ironically, it was this very fact that almost prevented him from competing this evening. UFC was initially linked to Wanderlei Silva in his next opponent, but the Brazilian was not interested in playing the heel, as it was, and did not want to fracture of his fans (if any), eliminating the image of American prestige. Above all, Memorial Day weekend. While the Stann tried to downplay his position, he understood and accepted the honor for his position, as might be undesirable. Until Jorge Santiago came. When UFC matchmaker Joe Silva, came to call with the news that he would remain Stann May 28 fight card, pay-per-view, against a very strong middle class, it does not matter who he was. Enter "Sandman. Santiago had gone outdoors and then still be used for promotion, he had no discretion in return. There will be no" tune-up fight, was thrown from the wolves and he did not want it any other way. When all is said and done today, UFC 130, only one of these two men take a step forward towards elite 185 Pound Division, the title shot looming over the horizon.

Target Pedro, Lionel Messi and David Villa deserved victory secured the magicians of Catalonia after England international Wayne Rooney had raised hopes of large, well-taken first half of the draw. Star electrifying performance was a team of Messi, the Argentine striker, master of 23 years, whose superb effort saw him 54 minutes as Ruud van Nistelrooy has a record of 12 goals in one Champions League campaign.It also took Messi's tally for the season to an astonishing 56 goals in 62 games for club and country, and propelled Barcelona towards their fourth victory in club football's most prestigious competition. Sir Alex Ferguson's United had been determined to avoid a repeat of the 2009 final in Rome, where Pep Guardiola's side had struck early before going on to clinch a 2-0 win at the Stadio Olimpico. Yet despite a bright opening United were ultimately handed a defeat that was just as emphatic as their loss two years ago, with the Spanish champions revelling in the wide open spaces of Wembley. United, lining up in an aggressive 4-4-2 formation, had harried Barcelona relentlessly in the early exchanges as they sought to prevent the Catalans from settling into their flowing passing rhythm. But it was not long before Barcelona found their feet and United were to spend much of the opening half an hour, and the match, firmly on the back foot Villa shot wide after being picked out by Messi on the edge of the area and moments later Pedro went close after Xavi and Gerard Pique combined menacingly. A race jinking by sounding the alarm that sounds in the Messi Manchester United striker defend a beautiful pass from Pedro only U.S. skipper Nemanja Vidic to slide with a vital block. United Vidic had to thank for another great piece of defending from Serbia after the judge denied his bright face Messi. But on 27 minutes, the relentless pressure of Barcelona finally reaps the reward. An exquisite pass from Xavi struck the outside of the boot and winger Pedro chose cool off his shot beyond Van der Sar. At that time, Ferguson must have feared a repeat of Rome. But the main United was able to find an equalizer within seven minutes. Rooney combined with Michael Carrick goes wide on the right before racing towards goal. Another one-two with Ryan Giggs, looking dangerously close to offside and Rooney were in the room. The England international took his time, and swept a curling shot beyond Victor Valdes to round off a nice gesture. The goal clearly shaken Barcelona, ​​but the Catalans were soon threatening again. Messi went on a race in full swing and chose Villa, but then only failed to control the return pass from his teammate and breathed United. United started the second half positively, but again in Barcelona were quickly on top of the light was flashing again. A fine save from Van der Sar denied Dani Alves after Brazil was played by Andres Iniesta before leaving Vidic Messi shot followed.

Blackbeard

Blackbeard: Black Beard facial hair wasn't the only thing that the infamous pirate was great. Archaeologists on Friday recovered one of 3 giant pieces you plan to use a bandit of the eighteenth century high seas in his ship the Queen Anne's Revenge. 11-feet, four inches for a long time has been pulled from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina. The researchers hoped to bring the ship's other two anchors, but they are closed on board the sunken ship.The Queen Anne's Revenge was 1st discovered underwater in 1996. Historians believe the ship was originally a French slave vessel before Blackbeard captured it. It is a very important element i.e. above the wreck, "said Mark Wilde-Ramsing, project manager for the recovery, the Wilmington Star News." When we remove this, let's see what's underneath. 5 months later the sinking, the days of Blackbeard's piracy ended when he was assassinated in 1718 by the Royal Navy at Ocracoke inlet. Blackbeard's murderers adorned the bow of his boat with his head cut off, according to a website dedicated to the archaeological project.

Blue Angels

Blue Angels: Commander Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron, the command issued by the commander of Naval Air Training May twenty-seven. Commander Dave Koss requested that Admiral Bill Sizemore release him from his command later weaker than normal to move the team's last performance in Lynchburg Regional Air appearance May 22. Deep personal regret that I've divided my command now, I voluntarily leave the largest air demonstration team, "said Koss." I made a maneuver that was too low minimum altitudes. The cause this team is so successful, brings thrills to millions of fans across U.S.A., and represents the United States Navy so superbly, is because of the absolute commitment to safety and perfection by every member of the team. I'm honored to have been a part of this organization, and I look forward to watching its success in the future. This maneuver, combined with other instances of not meeting the airborne standard that makes the Blue Angels the exceptional organization that it is, led to my decision to step down. I've the utmost respect for the Sailors and Marines of the Blue Angels organization and all that they embody.  Koss will be replaced by former Blue Angels official "command, Captain Greg McWherter, for the duration of the season, this requires the cancellation of performances by the Blue Angels" under Airfest Rockford June 4 to 5, and June Evansville Freedom Festival Air Show 11-12. The Blue Angels in Pensacola remain for further training and practical demonstration air show. Any change can plan the future of the team will be announced at a later date. "Blue Angels" We regret any inconvenience and look forward to representing the Navy and the Marine Corps service members serving around the world.

Will Smith

Will Smith: Thank the gods of show by Jerry Seinfeld. In the midst of "Super Size This" atmosphere "Oprah Pop Spectacular", his homage to comic Winfrey explained why his interaction with artists often rubbed me the wrong way.During a hilarious riff on her daily shows as training sessions for husbands like me, who can always use more training, he said that male guests on 'Oprah' actually learned to answer questions and listen. For deadly Oprahfied sincerity, no one can top Tom Hanks. In the pre-Oprah Eighties he burst on the scene as a frolicking comic in TV's "Bosom Buddies" and a feather-light romantic lead in "Splash." In the post-Oprah Nineties and 00s he became increasingly earnest and often dull on-screen, and increasingly sappy off-screen. As one of Oprah's farewell hosts, you could believe in his pride and happiness and sadness and still regret that he wore his heart on his sleeve, his cuff, and his collar. His real emoting looked like mugging. Seinfeld made a brilliant joke out of Oprah's insistent kind of sincerity her view that her sofa was a hot seat for "the truth." Her demand for tell-all honesty made a lot of actors lose their playfulness and wit and edge or just go overboard. Is it any wonder that Tom Cruise jumped the couch on "Oprah?" These days it's a relief to see him revert to being a toothy variation on an old-time action hero. Not everyone succumbed to Oprah-itis during her final shows. Like Seinfeld, Will Smith didn't forget that show-biz artists express their authenticity through entertainment. Smith showed you could be full of heart without losing style and panache. Jamie Foxx dazzled the audience with his electrifying performance of "Isn't She Lovely?" The yearning faces and outstretched arms of the females in the audience proved that he convinced each woman in the gigantic stadium (and probably at home, too) that he was singing just to her. It's got to think, when oh when has Foxx never get another role equal to his Oscar-winning Ray Charles "Ray" (2004) Kristin Chenoweth displayed extraordinary power and control when he sang the "good", while hundreds of scholarships Morehouse College for students from Oprah, the procession moved touching and inspiring for the stage. Our culture post-Oprah, we put the accent too great interpreters of the 'real'. Chenoweth, like Seinfeld, Smith and Foxx has proven to be what really makes them real is their art.

Gil Scott -Heron

Gil Scott -Heron: The artist died Friday of influence in a hospital in New York, reports suggested. The artist was born in Chicago, known as the godfather of rap a term he detested his spoken word with music launch. Others also referred to him as the "black Bob Dylan", but he preferred to call himself a bluesologist. Gil Scott-Heron's most famous songs include The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, a fierce protest poem he set to music in 1970. His work was often, but not always, powerfully political, standing up as the voice of black America and addressing issues like racism, poverty, and social injustice. He was one of the first artists to address apartheid in his music. He has recorded more than a dozen albums and his work has been colored by their own experiences of family breakdown, alcoholism and addiction to heroin. He spent time in jail for drug possession and was HIV positive, and frankly addresses their problems in some of their songs.Gil Scott -Heron

Tiki Barber

Tiki Barber: In a boneheaded move to compete with any of his other boneheaded moves, the former Giants star Tiki Barber running back had a alike incredibly unwise hisself and Anne Frank in an interview newest Sports Illustrated. In it he discussed the consequences of its new relationship with Traci Johnson, and moving into a house of representatives, where he said they were hiding out in his attic. "Lep’s Jewish, and it was like a reverse Anne Frank thing," he said. Of course, only the most dedicated of Anne Frank scholars knows that Frank was hiding out from Nazis because she too had dumped her eight-months-pregnant wife for a 23-year-old former NBC intern. Here's the entire excerpt the quote comes from MSNBC sounds bemusedly horrified: "Yowza Not so certain about the smarts, however." The Post calls it "despicable," and credits him with his "gift for saying exactly the wrong thing almost all time he opens his mouth." Deadspin asks the actually tough questions though: "who are the reverse Nazis?" (History buffs know them as the cuddly, fun-loving Sizan army.   Barber and Johnson went into hiding in the attic of Lepselter’s home in New Jersey. “Lep’s Jewish,” says Barber, “and it was like a reverse Anne Frank thing.” (Here is Barber writ small: It has humor and spirit to make an allusion Anne Frank and naive to look like an adulterer himself trying to escape the gossip columnists to a Holocaust victim) Back in March, later the scandal been broken He had lost his job NBC has been isolated from the birth of her baby, and was pursued by the fitness bike chain wheel sport; Barber has declared plans to unretire the NFL. He attributes his new girlfriend with him inspiration to start playing again, Johnson added: "It was hard for him to be any motivation to get dressed and do something productive with his life instead of sitting at home with the puppies.”One wonders if Anne Frank had so many problems getting motivated when she was just sitting in her cap playing with her puppies.

Paul Rand to allow multiple proposals amendment to be introduced for voting, even to make it more difficult for authorities to obtain records of purchases of firearms (LAT, the Washington Post, AFP, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, CBS / AP).

Also yesterday the House of Representatives adopted a bill of 690 million defense spending despite a veto threat from the White House because of many laws, admitting one that would limit the ability of Obama to try detainees Guantanamo to the America or to transfer them abroad, and another that updates the post-9/11 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF), and allow the President to target "related groups" al-Qaeda and the Taliban are not involved in 9 / 11 attacks (AFP, AP, Politico, LAT, National Journal). A statement from the White House urged limits on transfers of detainees, "a dangerous and unprecedented challenge for executive review"

Air France 447

Today News Air France 447: France's investigation of air accidents Agency has published an updated report on what happened aboard Air France Flight 447, which crashed into the Atlantic 2 years. As described here, the plan stalled at 38,000 feet which means that slowed to the point wherever the wings are no longer sufficient lift generated by the aircraft to continue in the air and then dropped to 10,000 feet per minute the Atlantic. (To see this, consider a plane with forty degrees nose down halfway almost vertical falling down, without a lot of air moving over the wings. Planes cannot fly like that. All the way down, the pilots tried to regain control of the aircraft, but failed. The plane continued in a stall despite having all its engines operating normally at full thrust. The report makes it clear that at least one of the plane's speed indicators failed when the plane was flying normally, and when it did, the auto-pilot cut out. The co-pilot then took over manual control of the plane and based on the report shows that inevitably ruined two stall warning sounds immediately shows that the speed of the aircraft became dangerously slow. More specifically, the 2nd the pilot pulled the nose, causing a rise, causing its speed to reduce the eleven seconds after, not a rapid, co-pilot pushed the nose a bit, but apparently not sufficient. The aircraft continued to gain altitude quickly.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day: Memorial Day will be observed by the vast majority of Americans lighting barbecues, hunting for bargains and mayhap fly a flag on the lawn. But for several immigrants who were sworn in as citizens of these America will be a solemn event much more that we pause to honor those killed in the line of duty to protect this precious most ideals, freedom. Immigrants have forever played a role in defending U.S.A. and its core values. It was Friedrich von Steuben, a Prussian general, who drilled the Continentals, and while everybody knows French nobleman Lafayette's contribution, few know of fellow Frenchman Louis Duportail, a military engineer who helped Washington build key fortifications. Polish nobleman Casimir Pulaski is reputed to have saved the life of Washington on the battlefield, only to lose his own life battling the British in Georgia. Yet, these are only a few examples retrieved from American history. Having grown up in a foreign nation, the first-generation American citizens have a single point and powerful compared to observe Memorial Day. There is nothing here that we take for granted. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was, for many immigrants, a distant dream secretly read in books or in whispered conversations. Whole regiments of Irishmen fought to preserve the Union during the Civil War, fighting 69 in New York State is the most legendary, but an approximated 40,000 Irish immigrants put on the blue uniform to take up arms for freedom.Memorial Day

Jika Si Dia Jauh Lebih Muda...?

Meski wanita lebih cepat menempuh kedewasaan, tak sedikit pria matang di usia yg jauh lebih muda. Jika mereka adl pilihan anda, bagaimana menyiasati percintaan lancar tanpa halangan usia?
1. Adaptasi Kebiasaannya
Setiap hubungan pasti ada kebiasaan2 yg membuat anda atau pasangan kesal. Kompromikan saja jadwal bertemu dg hobi masing2, misal minggu ini anda mengikuti kegiatannya, minggu depan sebaliknya. Lain halnya jika kebiasaan pasangan tergolong merugikan, jangan mau dibutakan cinta, tapi selalu melihat dari sisi objektif. Sekarang coba pikirkan, yakinkah anda akan sanggup dan kuat menerima kebiasaan menjengkelkan si Dia seumur hidup anda? Jika ya, maka lanjutkan hubungan anda. Jika tidak, lebih baik pikirkan lagi kelanjutannya, jangan sampai hubungan yg anda jalani dg keseriusan berbuntut hanya membuang2 waktu berharga anda.

2. Komitmen
Komitmen perlu dibina sejak awal memulai hubungan, artinya anda berdua sama2 sadar dalam kedewasaan u/ saling membuka diri, mengerti akan perbedaan umur dan jangan lupa u/ tidak saling memaksakan kehendak.

3. Jebakan Finansial
Dalam umur anda yg telah matang mungkin anda sudah mendapat jabatan dan mapan. Jgn lupa bila pasangan lebih muda, bisa saja dia belum mencapai taraf seperti anda. Biasanya ini menjadi pertengkaran hebat, entah pasangan minder atau anda yg dominan. Jangan melihat kemampuan finansial saja. Lihat apakah pasangan orang yg bertanggung jawab terhadap anda dan keluarga dan lihat meski kekuatan finansialnya dibawah anda, apakah ia berjuang agar hidupnya lebih baik? jika iya, itulah pria sejati karena usaha dan kemauan keras adl wujud nyata dari nilai tanggung jawab yg didasari dg kedewasaan.

4. Dewasa itu pilihan, Tua itu pasti
Perbedaan umur dimana anda lebih tua dari pasangan belum tentu membuat anda paling dewasa dlm hubungan. tak sedikit wanita yg umurnya matang justru childish. Pastikan si dia bisa mengayomi dan dapat mengubah hal2 negatif dalam diri anda menjadi hal positif.

5. Menghadapi Keluarganya
Yg biasanya menjadi kendala berpacaran dg pria lebih muda adl restu keluarga besar. Namun jgn keburu pesimis. Bila keluarga pasangan terlalu mengecam, sebaiknya persiapkan diri. Tunjukkan nilai2 kesopanan dan tata krama sesuai tradisi budaya. Bersabar dan perkuat mental karena segala sesuatu yg berakhir baik memerlukan proses.

6. Mengenal sahabatnya
Dihadapkan dg sahabat yg lebih muda? Awalnya mungkin anda akan sulit berbaur dg baik, alhasil pertemuan bersama sahabatnya hanya bersifat basa basi agar si dia merasa dihargai. Solusinya, bicarakan secara santai dg pasangan. Tanyakan karakter masing2 sahabatnya, sehingga anda tau celahnya. Anda tak perlu berteman akrab atau masuk kelingkungan mereka, cukup saling mengenal sehingga obrolan di kemudian hari tidak terkesan basa basi.

Lima Alasan Jangan Musuhi Kopi

Secangkir kopi

VIVAnews - Bagi pencinta kopi, minuman ini adalah pendongkrak energi. Tak mengherankan jika mereka bisa minum lebih dari satu cangkir kopi sehari.
Jika Anda mengetahui cara minum kopi yang baik dan bisa mengendalikan asupan kopi setiap harinya, minuman ini memang bisa memberikan dampak positif bagi tubuh. Antara lain:
1. Melindungi jantung.
Peminum kopi yang mengonsumsi 1-2 cangkir kopi hitam per hari memiliki risiko terkena stroke lebih rendah dibandingkan mereka yang tidak minum kopi. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya antioksidan yang terkandung dalam kopi.
Kopi memiliki antioksidan lebih banyak dibandingkan blueberry. Antioksidan yang terkandung di dalamnya membantu menahan efek buruk dari peradangan pada arteri. Sesaat setelah meminumnya, kopi meningkatkan tekanan pada darah dan denyut jantung. Namun setelah beberapa lama, kopi justru menurunkan tekanan darah, karena antioksidan pada kopi mengaktifkan asam nitrat pada tubuh sehingga terjadi pelebaran pembuluh darah.
2. Mencegah diebetes
Antioksidan kopi, khususnya asam klorogenat dan guinides, memainkan peranan untuk meningkatkan sel tubuh terhadap insulin yang membantu mengatur gula darah. Faktanya, orang yang minum kopi setiap harinya memiliki risiko lebih rendah terkena 2 tipe diabetes, menurut beberapa penelitian.
3. Menjaga kesehatan hati
Kopi juga bisa meminimalkan risiko munculnya sirosis dan penyakit hati lainnya. Satu analisa dari sembilan penelitian menemukan bahwa kopi bisa menurunkan risiko kanker hari sebanyak 43%. Hal ini karena peran antioksidan dan kafein di dalamnya.
4. Meningkatkan kekuatan otak
Minum kopi secara teratur juga dapat membantu mengurangi risiko demensia dan Alzheimer, sama halnya seperti Parkinson. Antioksidan yang terkandung di dalam kopi menangkal kerusakan sel otak dan membantu jaringan saraf untuk bekerja lebih maksimal sehingga otak bekerja lebih baik.
5. Membantu menghilangkan sakit kepala
Penelitian membuktikan, 200 miligram kafein dapat membantu menghilangkan sakit kepala, termasuk migrain. Walaupun begitu belum ada penelitian yang membuktikan bagaimana cara kafein menghilangkan sakit kepala, namun para peneliti meyakini bahwa kafein meningkatkan aktivitas sel otak yang mengakibatkan pembuluh darah di sekitarnya menegang.
"Penegangan pembuluh darah ini membantu menghilangkan tekanan yang mengakibatkan rasa sakit," ujar Robert Shapiro, M.D., Ph.D., profesor saraf dan Director the Headache Clinic dari Universitas Vermont Medical School, seperti dikutip oleh laman Yahoo! Shine.
Namun, di balik kenikmatannya, kopi menyimpan efek negatif bagi mereka yang tidak mengetahui cara minum kopi yang baik. Minum kopi berlebihan bisa menimbulkan dampak buruk, antara lain, meningkatnya kadar kolesterol jahat dan trigliserida yang akan membuat darah lebih pekat.
Selain itu, kopi akan sangat berbahaya bagi penderita tekanan darah tinggi, karena kafein dapat meningkatkan tekanan darah secara tiba-tiba. Bagi wanita hamil, kopi dapat meningkatkan risiko kematian pada bayi. Kopi pun mengakibatkan tulang keropos. Bagi penderita maag, kopi adalah musuh besar yang harus dihindari karena kafein meningkatkan produksi asam lambung. Kopi pun membuat gelisah, insomnia, dan tremor (tangan bergetar).
Untuk dapat menghindari efek negatif pada kopi, pilih racikan kopi tanpa tambahan gula dan susu, serta mengurangi dosis kopi yang Anda minum setiap harinya. Selain itu, pilih juga jenis kopi yang tanpa kafein. Dan agar 'racun' dalam kopi bisa diminimalisasi, jangan lupa untuk selalu konsumsi 2 gelas air putih untuk setiap satu cangkir kopi yang Anda minum.

Adakah Racun Dalam Dirimu?

Dahulu kala di China ada seorang gadis bernama Lili. ia baru menikah dan tinggal di rumah mertua. Mereka tidak cocok tinggal serumah karena perbedaan karakter. Lili sangat tidak suka pada mertuanya. Mereka selalu berdebat dan bertengkar. Lili tidak suka pada adat kuno China yg mengharuskan ia harus selalu menundukkan kepala u/ menghormati dan  menaati mertua.

Semua kemarahan dan ketidakbahagiaan dalam rumah itu menyebabkan kesedihan yg mendalam pada hati suami Lili yg sederhana. akhirnya Lili tidak tahan lagi dan berniat melakukan sesuatu. Ia menjumpai seorang teman ayahnya, seorang sinshe yg bernama Wang yg punya toko obat china. Ia menceritakan semua situasinya dan minta dibuatkan racun u/ mertuanya.

Sinshe Wang berpikir keras sejenak kemudian berkata: "Lili, saya mau membantumu tapi kamu harus mendengarkan saya dan menaati saran saya."
Lili: "Baik, saya akan menaati semua yg bapak katakan"
Sinshe Wang masuk dan kembali dengan sebungkus ramuan: "Kamu tidak bisa memakai racun yg mematikan seketika krn akan membuat orang curiga. Jadi saya memberi kamu ramuan beberapa jenis tanaman obat yg secara perlahan akan menjadi racun di tubuhnya. Setiap hari sediakan makanan enak dan masukan sedikit ramuan obat ini. Lalu supaya tak ada yg curiga saat dia mati, kamu harus bersikap bersahabat dgnya, jangan berdebat dan taati semua kehendaknya, perlakukan dia seperti ratu."
Lili sangat senang. Ia berterima kasih pada sinshe dan pulang buru2 u/ melaksanakan niat membunuh mertuanya.

Minggu demi minggu, bulan berganti bulan, Lili melayani mertuanya dengan makanan enak2. Ia belajar mengendalikan amarahnya, menaati perintah ibu mertuanya dan memperlakukan seperti ibu kandung sendiri. Setelah enam bulan berlalu, suasana di dalam rumah berubah drastis. Lili sudah mampu mengendalikan amarah sehingga ia menemukan dirinya tidak lagi sering marah2/kesal. ia tak pernah berdebat dg mertuanya. Selama enam bulan terakhir ibu mertuanya lebih ramah padanya. Sikap sang ibu mertua terhadap lili telah berubah dan mulai mencintai Lili seperti anak sendiri. Ia menceritakan pada kawan2 dan familinya bahwa Lili adl menantu yg paling baik. Lili dan ibu mertuanya saling memperlakukakn satu sama lain seperti layaknya seorang ibu dan anak sesungguhnya.

Suami Lili sangat bahagia menyaksikan semua yg terjadi. Suatu hari Lili menjumpai Sinshe Wang dan minta bantuannya sekali lagi.
Lili: "Pak Wang, tolong saya mencegah supaya racun yg saya berikan kepada ibu mertua saya jangan sampai membunuhnya. Ia telah berubah menjadi ibu yg begitu baik sehingga saya sangat mencintainya seperti ibu saya sendiri. saya tak mau ia mati karena racun yg saya berikan."
Sinshe Wang tersenyum dan mengangguk2:"Lili, tidak ada yg perlu kamu khawatirkan. Saya tak pernah memberimu racun. Ramuan yg saya berikan padamu hanya ramuan penguat badan u/ menjaga kesehatan beliau. Satu2nya racun yg ada adl yg terdapat dalam pikiranmu sendiri dan dalam sikapmu terhadapnya. Tetapi semua telah disapu bersih dengan cinta yg kamu berikan padanya"

Sadarkah anda bahwa sebagaimana anda memperlakukan orang lain maka demikianlah persis bagaimana mereka akan memperlakukan anda? ada pepatah China kuno berkata"Orang yg mencintai orang lain akan dicintai juga sebagai balasannya..."

Elizabeth Smart: Breaking News about elizabeth smart in this article. Elizabeth Smart finally got his chance on Wednesday to face the street preacher convicted of maintaining captive and raped by several months when she was only 14 years. Now twenty three, she stood tall in the courtroom stoic, with an even voice and a might Brian David Mitchell obviously lacked. It took her about 30 seconds. I do not have much to say. I know what you did, "said Smart, who wears a houndstooth checked skirt, jacket and ivory beads.I know that you know that what you did was wrong. You did it with full knowledge. but I have a wonderful life now and no matter what you do, you will never affect me again. Mitchell, frail and skinny with a long, peppery white beard, sang hymns softly and closed his hollow eyes, just as he did throughout his trial, just as he would moments later as the judge gave him two life sentences without parole. That did not stop Smart from looking right at him and coolly speaking her piece. You took away nine months of my life that can never be returned. You will be responsible for these actions, either in this life or the next, and I hope you're ready when the time comes. "When the judge asked if he had anything to say, Mitchell, whose hands and feet bound, kept right on singing His strange behavior changed once during the hearing. As he was sentenced, sang louder. Mitchell's sentencing closed a major legal chapter in the heartbreaking ordeal that stalled for years after he was declared mentally ill and unfit to stand trial in state court. A federal jury in December unanimously convicted the 57 year-old of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines for sex. Outside the courtroom, a smiling Smart, now a music student at Brigham Young University, told reporters that the conviction "is the end of a long chapter and the beginning of a beautiful chapter of me." She said she wants to work with crime victims and others to provide support to the cause of missing children. Elizabeth Smart

Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett: American Idol final was the music in a whole new level Wednesday nighttime. In what some called "Country Idol competition, there was many to euphony, pushing the appearance to 2 hours a year earlier, and most had a singular number that can't be replicated. And it was not all country music either. Highlights had to include Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez performing together, Tim McGraw and Scotty McCreery and Beyonce. All different, yet musically so talented that working on stage, they perfectly commanded it. In what was to be poles apart, the harder of the 2 sides of the other segments would be the Judas Priest performance from Gladys Night. Neither appeared to think they were close, but it was a bit strange in the Nokia Theater. With stars that litter the stage, it is not surprising that the last performance was none other than Steven Tyler, American Idol judge and singer of Aerosmith. Take a look at all the shows on American Idol tonight and decide on your favorites.

Jacob Lusk travel entertainment factor with Love Me Tonight "concludes with mariachi horns and Casey Abrams mugs his way through Delilah, Jones then introduced it is not uncommon.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Sexually Transmitted Diseases: The transmission of venereal or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is very vulnerable to happen on a porn star that frequently change partners and most don't practice safe sex. How do porn stars prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases? 2 porn stars Dylan Ryan and Danny Wylde had just begun to work together for a movie in Los Angeles. Previously, they had a private meeting that was a little uncomfortable in a talk of an hour trying to get to know. When working with new partners, I'm a little nervous because I don't know if I like, interested or not interested in me. It's kind of a position in which the 1st, "said Ryan. There is some anxiety about a porn star when new peers. Or sometimes on the location (filming), earlier beginning they have to show the results of the tests on paper,” said Wylde. The STDs (sexually transmitted disease) test is a good idea for anyone who's sex with a new partner, even if you are not a porn star. I think it really works,” said Dr. Craig Strafford, director of clinical research at the Holzer Clinic in Gallipolis, According Sixto Pacheco, president and CEO of Talent Testing Service, which performs the STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) tests for adult film stars, porn stars are routinely tested for HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhea. In addition, some players chose to test additional panels such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis. One thing that usually worries them is getting a sexually transmitted disease from their new colleagues, so both have been tested for STDs at least once a month. Earlier you ‘work’; you should see the test results of others.  Ryan and Wylde said they had a routine STD test (STDs) when working together. Ryan said that in eight years as an adult film star, who has about five professional sexual partners in a month, he had never suffered from sexually transmitted diseases. Ryan admitted when interacting sexually with men outside of work she always uses condoms. But unlike Ryan, Wylde says about once a year he has to see the doctor with a case of chlamydia or gonorrhea. Although the STD testing is not easy, this will lower the risk of STD infection. Combining the use of condoms and regular STD testing will be better. Although Wylde said he was not too worried about HIV, because he only had sex with women (heterosexual), but he knew he was still at least a little risk. There are risks in many jobs that professional athletes are also at risk. When you start a new relationship, many people want to know what diseases they have to be tested. It is a very common question, men and women, "said Stafford. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the American Social Health Association has a list of sexually transmitted diseases should be tested if someone has sex for the first time. HIV testing is included as very complicated because there is probably a negative result when samples were taken too soon after a person has HIV. That's because most people do not produce enough antibodies to be detected until about a month after infection. Some people take three months or many to be able to detect antibodies. I think this (STD testing) at any time. It's the greatest risk in this area and I think that's one thing that reassures me. Consolation is that the folks who worked with me were very strong and practice safe sex, because what they do is live, "says Ryan. Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Elsewhere, "Jeff," insisted a mask to hide it appears, and "Bentley", clarified that he would rather compete for the feelings of Emily Maynard. This year's 'Bachelorette' Ashley Hebert began her quest for love shortly later Maynard came back the engagement ring that she received from Womack final year.  Later meeting the twenty-five contestants, Hebert aired her reservations to host Chris Harrison, saying, "I'm very concerned that some of the guys aren't coming on here for me or the possibility of falling in love.

Preakness 2011

Saturday marks the 136th Preakness Stakes activity, half the jewel of horse racing Triple Crown. Animal Kingdom was shocked by 21-1 in the Kentucky Derby, but the handicapper, he wrote, a competitor at the top, and the 2nd choice overall. It can still acquire in Baltimore, and headed for the Belmont race the next great hope? Racing in Maryland is about. Preakness has practically become meaningful only in the nation full-day thoroughbred tradition. Yet over the past decade, has become a key competitive Preakness 3 Triple Crown event. While Derby has produced a number of winners who have gone on to achieve much more (James, Mine, Bird, Super Saver), Preakness has produced many champions, who have Rachel Alexandra, Curl, Afleet Alex, Bernardini, and the lucky lookin. Lately, the Preakness has not been producing flukes. While Nehro’s Derby performance flatters that race, I still see neither as likely to show the required improvement to compete here Flashpoint was an impressive winner of the 7f Hutcheson Stakes earlier this year, and will be a pace factor, but doesn’t seem capable of carrying them the full 1 3/16 Norman Asborjson is the local horse, and Maryland trainees often crack the bottom part of the exotics. The New Guns: There was a time when running in the Derby was a key factor to winning the Preakness, and while I still think that there’s some merit to that, Bernardini & Rachel Alexandra are recent examples that it can be done without the Derby experience. 9 of this year’s 14 Preakness contenders enter the fray without a Derby start. Dance City and Sway Away both enter off the Arkansas Derby, finishing 3rd and 4th, respectively Based on his last two New Tork races, he’s at least playable the same cannot be said of King Congie (poor dirt form), Isn’t He Perfect (overmatched), and Concealed Identity (huge step up in class). Any of those three hitting the board would surprise me, but would certainly juice up the payouts Astrology is an intriguing contender. The Steve Asmussen trainee got going late this year due to injury problems, but has finished second in both his 2011 starts. Draws the rail, and if can make an easy lead, could be a major factor the most promising newbie is Mr. Commons. The lightly-raced colt has been training marvelously so marvelously that he caused John Sheriffs, who trained no less a superstar than Zenyatta, to exclaim, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a horse come out of a work as well as he did.” Eligible for a big improvement, I think he’s a dangerous long shot. The Derby Boys: In labeling Animal Kingdom a top contender in this spot two weeks ago, I said that he would “offer fantastic value at the betting window.” That he did. The same can’t be said for the Preakness, where he’ll likely be 3-1 or less. Still a top contender no doubt, but without much value Shackle ford figures to run a similar race to his Derby, which means he’ll make the pace. Without much speed to contend him, he held on for 4th in Louisville. With a more serious pace to run at, he is serious threat to wear the black-eyed susans Beaten Derby favorite Dialed In should also benefit from a more honest pace. Jockey Julian Leperoux waited forever to make his move in the Derby, and indeed ran a blstering final half-mile but still finished 8th. Every possible factor points to the colt continuing to improve, as well as facing a much more advantageous pace scenario. A lot more speed here probably means a fade job Midnight Interlude finished a disappointing 16th in the Derby, but is back for more. Trainer Bob Baffert says the race took nothing out of him; perhaps the Santa Anita Derby winner just needed Derby prep Mucho Macho Man rallied for third at Churchill Downs, and has every look of a horse peaking at the right time.
