Hollywood

Film Terbaru - Pattinson, who stars in the Twilight film franchise as the vampire Edward Cullen, said: "I always think there must be more. I get angry, because I think I'm missing out." The 23 year-old is already a keen songwriter and musician and has ambitions to release an album in the future. However, his heavy filming commitments mean that he hasn't had the time to focus on a musical career.

Film Pattinson, who is in a relationship with Kristen Stewart, his 19 year-old Twilight costar, said: "I haven't been able to do my music for ages. I can't concentrate on two things at once. I don't even listen to music when I'm working on a movie."

The actor grew up in the London suburb of Barnes. His mother, Clare, worked for a modelling agency, while his father, Richard, is a vintage-car dealer.

He is the youngest of three children; Elizabeth, a musician, is 26, and Victoria, who works in advertising, is 31. He attended Tower House prep school and then the Harrodian School.

"I never really did much acting back then," he says. "But one day my dad and I were in a restaurant and he saw this bunch of pretty girls and he asked them where they had been. They said that they went to this drama club, so he said we’d better go down to this drama club, too."

Nokia Handphone

Harga Nokia C3 - T-Mobile and 3 UK's joint venture network sharing firm, Mobile Broadband Network Limited (MBNL), has awarded a £400m 3G mobile broadband upgrade contract to Nokia Siemens Networks.

Nokia C3 - MBNL has said that the deal would put 98 per cent of the UK population in range of the company's shared mobile broadband infrastructure.

The deal should boost T-Mobile and 3 UK's capacity to service the growth in mobile data use.

MBNL managing director Graham Payne said: “Smartphone and mobile laptop data traffic growth in the UK has been unprecedented, and there is every sign it will continue to grow as fast going forward."

Emin Gurdenli, T-Mobile UK technical director, added: "as high-speed mobile broadband becomes increasingly adopted for fast, simple internet access wherever you are, network performance becomes an increasingly important competitive differentiator."

In addition, having a UK network reach of close to 100 per cent could mean the mobile operators are well positioned to help deliver the Digital Britain universal service commitment (USC).

That commitment aims to get a minimum speed of 2Mbit/s download bandwidth to everybody in the UK by 2012. However, the solutions on offer currently mean the last 10 per cent of users, based in rural areas, are not able to access broadband at this speed.

T-Mobile said its 3G network upgrade to high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) was completed earlier this year, which gives a theoretical download speed of 7.2 Mbit/s.

However, that headline speed is unlikely to be achieved in practice due to the user's distance from the nearest mobile base station and the 'cell size' – the number users connecting to the same base station.

T-Mobile is rolling out a faster version of mobile broadband in the US - evolved high speed packet access (HSPA+), giving a theoretical download speed of 21Mbit/s.

An upgrade of its UK network to that specification could see it being able to surpass Digital Britain's USC of a minimum 2Mbit/s download speed.

Whether the two mobile operators would get contracts to participate in the USC will depend on Broadband Delivery UK's (BDUK) chief executive Adrian Kamellard. BDUK is the body responsible for deploying the government’s Universal Service Commitment and Next Generation Fund.

It has two strategy objectives outlined on the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) web site:

1. To drive the USC of 2Mbit/s to every household by 2012, using funds raised by the Digital Switchover Fund.
2. Manage the spend of the £1bn Next Generation Fund to deliver Next Generation Broadband to 90 per cent of the country by 2017.

In January 2009 the Republic of Ireland announced its scheme for national broadband provision, with mobile operator 3 tasked with connecting the last 10 per cent of Ireland’s population to the internet by September 2010.

MBNL was set up in December 2007 to combine T-Mobile and 3 UK's 3G access network, including mobile masts and infrastructure connecting each mobile operator's core backhaul networks.

Recipes

Burgers - Broad bean tips are not something you will find down the supermarket. Or frankly, in any shop at all. They are, for once, the spring treasure for those who grow their own. Their flavour is something of a cross between that of a mild broad bean and young spinach leaves. Broad bean tips are removed as part of the growing cycle in order to make the plants less attractive to black fly, and in doing so you also help the pods to fatten up. One for the gardeners. Serves two

6 spring onions

3 cloves garlic

a little olive oil

5 or 6 large sprigs flat-leaf parsley

150g chestnut or small button mushrooms

4 handfuls broad bean tips

Trim the spring onions then roughly chop them. Peel and finely chop the cloves of garlic.

Resep - Warm a little olive oil in a shallow pan and cook the spring onions and garlic over a moderate heat till soft and pale gold in colour. Chop the flat-leaf parsley and stir in. Halve or quarter the mushrooms then add to the pan, stirring them with the spring onions and garlic and let them cook till thoroughly golden.

Rinse the broad bean tips to remove any soil or aphids. I find this easiest by swirling them in a deep bowl of iced cold water. Shake them gently dry then add to the pan.

Remove as soon as they start to wilt and darken slightly in colour. Serve immediately, while all is hot and sizzling.

World Cup 2010

Jadwal Piala Dunia 2010 - The vice-president of the Japan Football Association Junji Ogura has told Goal.com that while coach Takeshi Okada may be aiming for a last four finish at the 2010 World Cup, Ogura himself will be satisfied with a place in the second round.

Goal.com caught up with Ogura, also a member of FIFA’s Executive Committee, in Osaka after last week’s friendly defeat at the hands of Serbia.

“If we pass the first round then I am very happy,” Ogura told Goal.com. “To go to the last 16 will be great. In 2006, we were eliminated at the first round.”

Okada’s stated goal of a semi-final finish has been discussed at length both inside and outside Japan but Ogura is happy for a lofty ambition.

“The coach’s point of view is that he has given a target for the players. In 2002, Korea were at home but became the fourth team, Japan, if you take goal difference into account finished as number nine. So if Korea can become number four then Japan also have the chance to become number four."

Poor results at home in 2010 have led to coach Okada coming in for some fierce criticism in the Japanese media.
Japan take on Cameroon, Netherlands and Denmark in Group E in South Africa.

Are Meat Free Mondays

Vegetarians Recipes - Pro and anti meat-eaters will continue to argue about whether everyone giving up some meat, or all meat, would actually help to reduce carbon emissions, preserve the ozone layer, etc. More research is needed to prove the case either way.

Vegetarian -While that debate rages on, it is still apparently the case that about a third of us in the UK eat a roast every Sunday. Many people then use up the leftovers by making something such as a shepherd’s pie, curry or bolognese on the Monday.

“Meat Free Monday” is the catchy name of a campaign launched by the McCartney family. In fact, Stella has designed some branded T-shirts for GapKids which went into London stores last week, so no doubt more parents will soon be facing similar pressure from their offspring to follow suit. The trouble is that leftover meat from the Sunday roast is often quite low in fat, rich in protein and a good source of iron, which many women in this country lack in their diet. Too little iron can lead to tiredness, poor concentration and raised stress levels — so you could argue that wasting this meat would be “anti-green” in itself.

If you want to encourage your daughter’s enthusiasm for preserving the environment, perhaps you and she could designate another day as “meat-free”. This shouldn’t be too hard, as the average family in Britain eats lean red meat three to four times a week.

If people swapped processed meat products such as burgers, sausages and meat pies — which tend to be high in saturated fats, total fats, salt and calories any day of the week — for something such as a cashew nut stir-fry, I daresay their health would benefit.

Even so, many vegetarian options are less than ideal from a nutritional point of view. A vegetarian lasagne may not use meat but it still has a rich béchamel sauce, Cheddar cheese and egg pasta, bringing in about 450 calories and 20g of fat per serving. A “healthy eating” standard lasagne (ie, with meat) has only 332 calories and 10g of fat for the same 400g serving. A vegetarian toad in the hole has more than 500 calories and 19g of fat per serving, and a Linda McCartney deep country vegetarian pie 412 calories and 24g of fat per serving.

I am not knocking vegetarian food, but the same rules for healthy eating apply whether your diet is vegetarian or omnivorous: go very carefully on oils, cheese, cream and all full-fat dairy products (and their vegetarian alternatives), avoid pastry-clad and fried food if possible, cook from scratch whenever you can, watch your portion sizes (especially of nuts and seeds) and aim to consume at least five pieces of fruit or vegetables a day.

Branstad has most to lose in debate ‎

Contoh Pidato - The Republicans running for governor have been busy setting the stage for Wednesday's debate in Sioux City, the first of three televised meetings for the candidates. Former Gov. Terry Branstad, the front-runner in early polls and fundraising, has the most to lose. He knows the other candidates will work to keep him on the defensive. They'll want the debate to be about the least attractive aspects of his 16-year record as governor: the tax increases, the budget sleight-of-hand, the legalization of gambling.

Naskah Pidato - Branstad signaled Monday, however, that he wants the debate to be about the future. He unveiled details of his plan to create 200,000 new jobs in Iowa over the next five years. His plan calls for gradually reducing commercial property taxes and cutting corporate income-tax rates in half.

He also launched two new television ads, both built around the theme that he is tested and ready to respond to Iowa's needs. They'll start inoculating Branstad against his opponents' message that re-electing him will send Iowa backward to some dark age in history.

Branstad's gambit puts him in the driver's seat on an issue that has been one of his strengths in the past. Bob Vander Plaats and Rod Roberts will have to respond with ideas of their own. They'll one-up Branstad and offer more aggressive tax cuts. Otherwise, it will look like they're the ones who can't take their eyes off the rear-view mirror.

The former governor is not much of an orator and debate rules such as timed answers aren't kind to his usual speaking style. He may overcompensate by memorizing too many canned answers and end up looking stiff and remote. Still, his debate experience over many campaigns will make it tough to shake him off message.

Vander Plaats is on his home turf in this debate, but he has the rockiest ground to cover of the three candidates. He has to knock Branstad off his pedestal and make the debate about why Iowans don't want a rerun.

This is a job that makes bomb disposal look like a great career for someone with hypertension. If Vander Plaats goes too easy on Branstad, the most passionate of his conservative base will be disgusted. But if he's too aggressive, he'll risk looking angry and desperate. Vander Plaats is a stronger public speaker than Branstad, and his passion helps him on the stump. In a debate, though, he may look more like a televangelist than a governor. It's a gamble he'll have to take if he hopes to gain ground.

Vander Plaats also was working Monday to erase at least one of his potential negatives going into the debate. He made it clear in an interview that he will not run as an independent or third-party candidate in the general election if he fails to win the GOP nomination.

"I am a Republican," he said. "I have no interest, no desire and no motivation to run as a third-party candidate."

Roberts, as the least-known of the candidates, benefits just by being on stage with the other two. This is his golden chance to introduce himself to Iowans and make a case for why he's the GOP's best hope to beat Gov. Chet Culver, a Democrat.

Roberts has tried to position himself as the "nice" guy, the one who will keep his feet out of the mud. He'll let the other two bash each other's brains out and just stand back and look reasonable. That may handcuff him a bit as he works to distinguish himself in the debate. He can't afford to turn into wallpaper - cheerful, reliable and all but invisible.

PIDATO MEGAWATI ‎

Contoh Pidato - Ketua Umum PDIP Megawati Soekarnoputri dijadwalkan menyampaikan pidato politik selama 42 menit dalam pembukaan kongres partai yang bakal berlangsung di Denpasar, Bali, awal April 2010. "Sedikit bocoran, pidato itu berbicara mengenai cara Megawati memahami serta konsistensinya, karena itulah kekuatan PDIP dan Megawati," kata Sekjen PDIP Pramono Anung usai Pertemuan DPD se-Indonesia di Jakarta, Rabu (31/3).

Naskah Pidato - Pramono juga memberikan bocoran mengenai struktur organisasi DPP PDIP yang kemungkinan besar mengalami perubahan dan ini dibahas dalam kongres nanti. DPP mengusulkan adanya penambahan struktur dari yang ada saat ini sebanyak 27 struktur menjadi 33 struktur.

Contoh Teks Pidato - Sikap politik PDIP akan termaktub dalam pidato Ketua Umum Megawati Soekarnoputri pada saat pembukaan Kongres III di Bali 6 April mendatang. Pidato tersebut berdurasi 42 menit.

"Sikap politik akan terbaca di dalam pidato ketua umum pada saat pembukan sepanjang 42 menit. Semua itu akan dielaborasi dalam sikap olitik yang dirumuskan oleh Komisi Sikap Politik," ujar Sekertaris Jenderal PDIP Pramono Anung di rumah Megawati, Jl Teuku Umar, Menteng, Jakarta Pusat, Rabu (31/3/2010).

Pramono sedikit memberikan bocoran isi pidato Megawati tersebut. Pidato tersebut, kata dia, harus dipahami sebagai sebuah pernyataan tentang konsistensi.

"Memahami Megawati itu memahami kekonsistenan, itulah yang menjadi kekuatan PDIP dan Ibu Mega," katanya.

Mengenai isi pembicaraan dengan para DPD se-Indonesia, Pramono mengatakan, pembicaran tersebut hanya seputar hal-hal yang menyangkut dengan pembukaan materi dan keseluruhan teknis Kongres.

"Kongres PDIP itu beda dengan partai lain, karena berasal dari bawah. Sebenarnya sudah pasti ketahuan siapa yang menjadi ketua umum. Dari 490 cabang di 33 provinisi, hanya empat cabang yang mendukung Mas Guruh (Guruh Soekarnoputra-red). Seluruhnya mendukung Megawati," jelasnya.

Sementara itu, Ketua Dewan Pertimbangan Pusat Taufiq Kiemas yang juga hadir dalam pertemuan menyampaikan kepada seluruh pengurus untuk selalu mensosialisasikan ideologi Pancasila ke seluruh jajarannya.

julia Perez Mau Jadi Bupati Pacitan

Julia Perez Calon Bupati Pacitan - Partai Hati Nurani Rakyat (Hanura) agaknya mulai menanggapi keinginan artis seksi Julia Perez (Jupe) yang akan maju pilkada di Kabupaten Pacitan. Bahkan, Jupe akan menjadi tamu istimewa dalam Musda ke-1 DPD Partai Hanura Jatim yang dilaksanakan di Hotel Novotel Surabaya pada 3-4 April mendatang.

Julia Perez kan ingin maju di Pilkada Pacitan, jadi biar kenal dengan petinggi partai maka dia termasuk orang yang akan kami undang,” kata Sudjatmiko, Ketua Tim Pilkada yang juga Wakil Ketua DPD Hanura Jatim, Senin (29/3).

Selain mengundang Jupe, Hanura Jatim juga mengundang Emilia Contessa yang kini mencalonkan bupati Banyuwangi serta calon bupati lainnya. Pembukaan Musda dilakukan oleh Ketua Umum Wiranto.

Satu lagi artis yang dikabarkan bakal memasuki kursi kekuasaan dalam wilayah pemerintahan Jawa Timur, Yuli Rachmawati atau yang sering dikenal dengan nama Julia Perez (30) pun mengklaim telah mendapat dukungan koalisi 8 partai.

Sebelumnya pernah dikabarkan pula selain pemain film "Hantu Jamu Gendhong" itu pencipta lagu Maia Estianty dicalonkan sebagai Wakil Walikota Surabaya, Jawa Timur sedangkan pedangdut Inul Daratista pun juga disebut-sebut bakal maju dalam persaingan calon Bupati Malang, Jawa Timur. Dalam pengakuannya masing-masing pun membantah dengan berbagai alasan seperti mantan istri Ahmad Dhani, belum siap karena masih fokus di kariernya sebagai pemilik label rekaman Le Moesiek dan bisnis outsourching-nya (lembaga penyalur tenaga kerja-red) sedangkan istri Adam Suseno beralasan masalah pendidikannya yang hanya tamatan sekolah menengah pertama.

Artis sensasional ini malahan sudah dikabarkan berani merogoh uang sakunya hingga 20M karena berambisi ingin menguasai wilayah Pacitan, Jawa Timur sebagai Bupati. Namun ketika ditemui saat acara di salah satu cafe di semarang Jupe membantah, "gila.. uang darimana tuch gedhe banget, 10M bentuknya kaya apa aja aku belum bisa ngebayangin," kelakarnya.

"Kalau masalah politik terus terang aku tidak begitu tau banget walaupun kita tau kan politik memang bagian dari hidup kita tapi sepertinya aku belum layaklah. Kalau bicara tentang bola saya bisa.hahaha.." ucapnya serius tapi santai.

Saya Tak Akan Bisa Seperti Maradona

Jadwal Siaran Langsung Piala Dunia 2010 - Lionel Messi disebut-sebut sebagai titisan dan bahkan melebihi kemampuan Diego Maradona. Padahal secara pribadi pemain Barcelona itu merasa dirinya tak akan pernah bisa menjadi seperti sang legenda.

Jadwal Piala Dunia 2010 “Meski jutaan tahun dilalui, saya tak akan pernah bisa mendekati Maradona. Dana tak berusaha mendekati dia. Dialah yang terbaik sepanjang masa,” seru Messi seperti dikutip dari AS.
Meski sudah berkali-kali disebut sebagai titisan terbaik Maradona, belakangan Messi juga dianggap melebihi kemampuan pria yang kini melatih timnas Argentina itu.

Adalah performanya yang mencetak dua hat-trick dalam selang sepekan yang membuat namanya kembali disanjung tinggi media Spanyol.
“Saya disama-samakan dengan Maradona, (tapi) saya punya kisah cerita sendiri dan mendapatkan kisah itu setelah meraih prestasi tertentu,” pungkas pemain terbaik dunia 2009 itu.

Afgan Siapkan Album dan Film

Film Indonesia - Hadir sebagai pendatang baru di belantika musik Indonesia pada 2008, Afgan Syah Reza kini telah masuk jajaran solois pria paling diperhitungkan. Menanjaknya karir pria yang belum genap berusia 21 tahun itu ditandai dengan sejumlah prestasi yang membuat namanya makin melambung.

Film Indonesia Terbaru - Mulai memenangi ajang MTV Indonesia Awards 2008 untuk kategori Most Favorite Male Artist, menyabet predikat Penyanyi Solo Pria Terbaik pada AMI Award 2009, ditahbiskan sebagai Artis Lelaki Terbaik dalam ajang Anugerah Planet Muzik 2009, dan terakhir menyabet predikat Penyanyi Solo Terdahsyat dalam ajang Dahsyat Awards pada Februari lalu. Atas pengakuan itu, Afgan bangga. Namun, itu belum cukup membuatnya puas. ''Saya harus terus berkembang,'' ujar cowok berkacamata tersebut.

Afgan begitu menikmati dunia menyanyi yang digeluti sekarang. Namun, diakuinya, menjadi solois, apalagi pria, tidak gampang di tengah persaingan dengan band-band yang menjamur. Meski demikian, Afgan tetap percaya eksistensinya bisa berlangsung lama.

"Yang penting kepedulian pada materi lagu dan tidak terjebak pada idealisme," kata pengagum Chrisye tersebut. "Satu hal lagi, maintaining penggemar juga sangat penting. Tanpa mereka, eksistensi seorang penyanyi nggak bakal ada," ujar Afgan yang mengorganisasi penggemarnya melalui pelbagai jejaring sosial tersebut.

Meneguhkan komitmen sebagai penyanyi, Afgan kini sibuk merancang peluncuran album keduanya bertajuk The One yang akan rilis pekan depan. "Makanya, belakangan ini nervous banget. Aku ingin launching ini berjalan sempurna," ungkapnya.

Afgan makin gugup karena dalam waktu hampir bersamaan, film perdananya, Cinta 2 Hati juga bakal diluncurkan. Film remaja tersebut dibintanginya bersama Olivia Jansen, Tika Putri, dan Deddy Mizwar. ''Sampai sekarang belum melihat filmnya. Baru trailer-nya. Tapi, saya sudah senang,'' ujarnya.

Selain menjajal akting, Afgan kini mencoba-coba berbisnis. Dalam waktu dekat, dia meluncurkan sekaligus dua label baju produksi sendiri. ''Sekarang sedang tahap produksi,'' ujar Afgan.

Teacher of Drummer’s World

There are a lot of drum instructors out there. So, how can you make sure that you are hiring a certified teacher professional and not some random guy who knows how to thump a beat? Here are some essential tips on what to look out for when you employ a drum teacher.

There are master drum instructors and then unskilled drum teachers so carefully determine the best of the best teacher. You can ask for credentials and diplomas to ensure his or her credentials. A perfect drum teacher would be one who has a diploma in Music Education and with ABRSM certifications as well.

But it is still nice to be vigilant. Certified or not, these are only pieces of paper one can show. And there are instructors who have no experience teaching young youngsters or a particular genre. Carefully select the one that fits the student’s age or musical genre.

There are those drum teachers who are referred to as “cowboys”. These types of drum teachers are commonly inexperienced or are not qualified to be drum instructors. A very good example of a cowboy would be a drummer for a rock band.

Unskilled drum teachers are also unsuitable in some basic drum knowledge. Observe some of their drumming techniques. Commonly have very poor understanding of drumming basics such as stick techniques and will usually only teach beats in the 4/4 time. Some do not know how to teach proper coordination, wrist movement, thumb and finger grips and pedal work and no musical theory knowledge and cannot even properly tune a drum.

A basic knowledge of the drums is very important to drummers. So a professional drum teacher must be able to answer simple questions such as "I'm done with the stock cymbals that came with my sons' first set, what should we buy him now?" As a matter of fact, a very good drum instructor does not only focus on one genre but can teach a multitude of other music styles such as jazz, funk, reggae, odd time (unusual time signatures), Latin, fusion, marching and others.

It will still be good to search more as much as you can about the drum teacher, because your potential to become expert depends on them.

LPG Car Performance Issues

It is believed by many car owners and consumers that if they decide to convert their car to run on LPG fuel this will lower the cars performance – this is untrue and in fact if there is any change in performance it will be negligible and most drivers would be unlikely to detect the difference.

If car owners decide to convert their vehicles to run on LPG they will find that power outputs from their cars engine will be slightly reduced than when the car is running on petrol. This slight decrease in power output from the cars engine will mean that top speeds and acceleration times will be reduced but the reduction will be of such a slight margin that as stated before it is unlikely that drivers will be able to notice any drop in their cars performance.

Car owners should be aware that to make sure their vehicles performance is not affected by the conversion process, LPG kits should only be installed by qualified mechanics in approved installation centres that can be found all across the country.

Cium Bibir Manis Jennifer, Sunan Enak Juga

Video Jennifer Dunn Ciuman sedang banyak dicari orang di dunia maya ini. Ciuman yang cukup hot itu memang tidak berlangsung lama, karena terjadi dalam sel tahanan. Kedekatan antara bintang FTV Jenifer Dunn dan kuasa hukum muda yang mendampinginya, Sunan Kalijaga, SH, semakin menunjukkan titik terang saja. Keduanya pun berani mengumbar kemesraan sebelum sidang berlangsung di Pengadilan Negeri (PN) Jakarta Barat (Jakbar), Kamis (11/2/2010).

Jenifer Dunn dan Sunan, yang sudah beristri dan memiliki dua orang anak, terlihat saling berciuman bibir ketika Sunan menghampiri Jenifer yang tengah berada di balik jeruji besi, sebelum sidang dimulai.

Menanggapi hal itu, Jenifer mengaku apa yang dilakukannya itu adalah sesuatu yang wajar. "Kayaknya ciuman itu wajar, kalau lagi berhubungan," aku Jenifer seusai sidang di PN Jakbar. Secara tegas, ia juga mengaku bahwa ia sedang terpanah asmara Sunan. Menurut dia, sosok Sunan yang bijaksana telah membuat hatinya luluh. "Dia bijaksana, dia perhatian sama aku. Dia benar-benar perhatian penuh dan men-support aku, akhirnya aku merasa sayang sama dia," ungkap Jenifer.

Terkait kapasitas Sunan yang menjadi kuasa hukumnya dalam kasus dugaan kepemilikan tujuh pil ekstasi, Jeje (sapaan akrab Jenifer) mengaku tak perlu memikirkan biaya yang harus dibayarkan untuk jasa Sunan. "Saya membayar dengan cinta saja," tutup Jenifer.

Film Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan Tak Layak Tayang

Film Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan telah gagal tayang karena memang film tersebut tak pantas serta tak layak untuk bisa ditayangkan di bioskop - bioskop di negeri ini. Dengan adanya adegan setengah telanjang yang ditampilkan Andi Soraya, yang memang sudah tak malu lagi beradegan buka - bukaan serta telanjang di blantika perfilman tanah arir kita ini.

Jika kita bandingkan Film Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan ini, dengan Film Suster Keramas yang dibintangi Rin Sakuragi, film ini lebih vulgar serta lebih seronok, padahal Rin Sakuragi merupakan salah satu bintang film porno Jepangyang sudah malang melintang di dunia adegan ranjang. Memang kesintalan Rin Sakuragi tak bisa ditandingi oleh kemolekan Andi Soraya yang sudah janda serta beranak dua yang tubuhnya sudah agak me;lorot tidak seindah tubuh Rin Sakuragi .

Namun penampilan yang seronok serta sangat vulgar dari Andi Soraya di Film Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan yangtelah menyebabkan film ini tak bisa tayang. Kita harapkan tidak ada lagi film yang sepetrti ini, yang dibuat produser kita untuk sekedar meraih keuntungan tanpa memperhatikan faktor - faktor yang lainnya.

Opiate Detox’ attracts celebrities to Palm Beach

Oscar Nominations 2010|Oscar Nomination Predictions For 2010 - People from various walks of life such as business executives, professional athletes, celebrities, politicians, and even the armed forces and the religious world are flocking to Palm Beach from different parts of the globe, and not necessarily to enjoy the spectacular beaches, but rather to save their lives. They are coming to break harmful dependencies to a variety of addictive substances-- medical conditions which until recently were considered taboo to such people.

Oscar Nominations 2010 - Recently substance abuse and its treatment have risen in the consciousness of society. With recent television shows such as A&E’s Intervention, a general acceptance of substance abuse as a medical not moral issue is developing. Couple this with the recent liberal trends in dispensing opiate pain medications and anti-anxiety medications results in a trend of sorts. According to the most recent nationwide survey conducted in the United States by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), an estimated 6.3 million persons, or 2.7 percent of the population age 12 and older had used prescription psychotherapeutic medications non-medically in the month prior to being surveyed. This includes 4.7 million using pain relievers, 1.8 million using tranquilizers, 1.2 million using stimulants, and 0.3 million using sedatives. The problem is on the rise. According to this survey carried out in 2003, the increase in rates of addiction to prescription medication is significant when compared to previous survey results.

Substance abuse providers are seeing a new profile of patients; that of apparently normal professionals often successful in all other aspects of their lives. Dr Mark G. Agresti, Vice Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia Hospital explains that most of today’s addicts are hooked on prescription medication—pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants and sedatives—not illegal drugs purchased on a street corner somewhere.

James Bevell, Director of Admissions for Poinciana, at Palm Beach, a facility that treats patients presenting with this profile, explains that these programs are adapted specifically for high functioning, motivated people who need individual attention and guidance. “Patients can free themselves from chemical addictions and continue with their lives”, he says.

Bevell states that ‘Executive Detox’ is an emerging service being provided to this new patient demographic.

“Many people who have been otherwise successful in their lives yet find themselves addicted had found their choices limited and unacceptable when seeking treatment. In years past the only alternatives were psychiatric hospitals or free standing substance abuse hospitals. They used to find themselves thrown into a system which was often overburdened and understaffed. Some found themselves misunderstood, misdiagnosed and mistreated. These patients could not tolerate the treatment and therefore went largely untreated,” he says.

According to Bevell, the concept includes an important component of luxury and confidentiality.

“Even though Poinciana is a hospital-based program, patients are discretely separated from regular hospital patients and other clinical facilities. At this center, they are offered exclusive concierge services for patients and family members. Upon request, they are even provided a private escort to accompany the patient to the facility”, he says.

The creators of the plan promise that this method allows patients, while under the supervision and care of a medical team of experts in addiction, to withdraw in comfort from substance dependency as they continue to work or study. They add that this method is different from other treatment programs because it is individually modified for each patient, taking into consideration not only their medical history, but also their personal issues as well. It is a holistic, bio-psychosocial approach.

“This is not cookie-cutter medicine. It is a program created to suit the needs of the individual—one patient at a time,” Dr. Agresti clarifies.

Dr. David J. Stern, an internist who practices in West Palm Beach, explains the general procedure as follows: “Patient arrives for assessment and medical examination by a Board Certified physician and substance dependency specialist. Then he/she is diagnosed and treated according to his/her specific needs. Patient receives a regimen of safe and effective medications, such as Buprenorphine, that promptly eliminate symptoms of withdrawal, including anxiety, sleeplessness as well as debilitating aches and pains normally associated with detoxification.”

Throughout course of treatment, patient's physical and psychological progress is monitored daily by a team of addiction specialists. Bevell adds, “This safe and carefully controlled program may allow patients to return to their daily schedules within 2 or 3 days, and is a much safer alternative to the Rapid Detox Programs being offered.”

After detox, patient returns home, to work or to his or her studies. Although consideration of further treatment options is recommended, hospitalization or confinement to a rehab facility is not strictly necessary.

According to the initiators of this new curative method, recurrence rates are minimal, and that is important because recurrence is the greatest obstacle detoxification treatments have encountered so far.

The new methodology is even applied, with some variations, for conquering addiction to Methadone, a drug used in treating addictions.

Dr. Agresti explains: “Treatment for Methadone is different than our standard treatment for conventional opiate dependency. Methadone poses additional problems and the course of treatment is longer. But the good news is we can help. Here's how it works. Utilizing a medical protocol called Rapid Receptor TransitionTM (RRT), the doctor will safely and comfortably switch your medications, monitoring your progress daily. After 7 days, when Methadone is out of your system you will be switched over to Buprenorphine. You may return home. Where you can follow up with an outpatient provider who will wean you off the Buprenorphine over the next 4 to 6 weeks. You may go back to work, your studies, or daily chores immediately. You will have energy. You will no longer crave Methadone or opiates.”

Don't Take My Baby!

Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan - There is one very specific type of movie that I just can't watch because I get too upset. I call it a "Don't Take My Baby" movie.

I'm sure you're familiar with this type of movie. The most common plot line is: Couple finds out they can't have baby and adopts. Couple loves baby very much and experience great joy until baby's birth parents challenge adoption and try to get baby back.

Other variations include:

* Gay partner dies and court won't allow non-biological parent to keep the baby.

* Parents find out baby was switched at birth and isn't theirs.

* Mother has been looking for missing baby for years, and refuses to believe baby is dead. Mother finds baby, but baby has a new life and doesn't remember mother.

* Father loves baby dearly, mother goes to jail, father learns baby isn't really his and loses custody.

Film Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan - The plot possibilities for "Don't Take My Baby" movies are endless. These movies are often, but not always, played on the Lifetime network. (Otherwise known in pop culture as "Lifetime Movies.") However, these plots can also be easily adopted on network dramas, although they usually aren't as emotional.

The problem with "Don't Take My Baby" movies is that I can't handle them emotionally. I don't even have a baby yet, but somehow the concept of having one's baby taken away has driven me to hysterics ever since I can remember.

I fully realize that there is an element here that sounds absolutely crazy and you may be wondering why I chose to make this a topic for the newsletter. Well, believe it or not, this does relate to adult ADD and here's how: adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) tend to be extremely emotionally sensitive. We often lose it emotionally over sad movies, sappy commercials, or distressing news stories.

Sure, "Don't Take My Baby" movies are always meant to be tearjerkers. But most people can have themselves a good cry and get over it. Adults with ADD are often slower to bounce back.

Because we have a high level of empathy and compassion, we can take on the pain of others (real or scripted) to such a high degree that it sends us down a path of extreme emotional disturbance and spiraling negative thoughts. This, in turn, leads to more stress and the potential to become overwhelmed.

And, as I always say, the more stressed out and overwhelmed you are, the harder it is to manage your ADD.

In order to avoid this scenario, we have to protect ourselves with some solid boundaries. For example, I no longer let myself watch "Don't Take My Baby" movies. I also won't watch documentaries about genocide, sick children, or people with terminal illnesses. I simply can't handle it and I know that watching these things is guaranteed to send me down a bad path.

You may find that in order to keep from falling into the trap of extreme emotions, you need to:

* Avoid watching the news.

* Make certain types of movies or shows off-limits.

* Steer clear of certain topics of conversation.

And when all else fails and you find yourself empathizing just a little too much, try to:

Remember that everyone has their challenges in life. You don't need to take on someone else's in addition to your own.

Talk out how you feel. Journal about it if you have no one that you can talk to in the moment.

Explore what it is about someone else's situation that hits you hard enough to be upsetting. Does it trigger a sadness in you that you haven't yet dealt with?

Draw a line between "pity" and "empathy." Having compassion and being able to imagine yourself in another's shoes is very different--and much more helpful and productive--than feeling sorry for them or taking on their pain.

Most importantly, remember that you can't effectively care for others until you care for yourself. And this sometimes means avoiding "emotional traps" on television or in the movies.

So the next time you're flipping the channels and happen upon a "Don't Take My Baby" movie, think of me bawling my eyes out over a poorly-written and badly-acted movie. Then change the channel.

F Sebagai Tersangka Pembobolan ATM

Skimmer ATM - Tim penyidik Mabes Polri menetapkan orang berinisial F sebagai tersangka pembobolan rekening nasabah melalui mesin Anjungan Tunai Mandiri (ATM) pada sejumlah bank nasional.

"F sudah ditetapkan tersangka dan terkait kasus pembobolan di Bali," kata Kepala Badan Reserse Kriminal (Kabareskrim), Komisaris Jenderal Ito Sumardi di Mabes Polri, Jakarta Selatan, Jumat.

Ito menuturkan F merupakan `pemain` pembobolan ATM yang sudah lama beroperasi dan diduga kuat terkait kasus pencurian sejumlah rekening nasabah bank di Denpasar, Bali, beberapa waktu lalu.

Sementara itu, Direktur II Ekonomi Khusus Bareskrim sekaligus ketua tim penyelidikan, Brigjen Pol. Radja Erizman menuturkan polisi sudah mengamankan F di Jakarta.

Erizman menjelaskan F terkait pembobolan ATM di Bali karena modus operandinya sama sehingga terindikasi dalam sindikat yang sama.

Selain menahan F, penyidik juga mengamankan uang tunai sebesar Rp23 juta, komputer, beberapa jenis kartu ATM dan perangkat "skimmer".

Skimmer adalah alat perekam data kartu ATM magnetik secara ilegal untuk menggandakan kartu ATM, lengkap beserta kamera yang berfungsi mencuri kode rahasia pengguna kartu penarikan uang tunai.

Erizman menambahkan jaringan yang tergabung dengan sindikat F diduga kuat pernah ditangkap sebelumnya pada kasus yang sama
