13 Tips Menjaga Kesehatan Mata

ada saat ini hampir seluruh lapisan masyarakat mengenal apa itu computer bahkan anak anak sekalipun sudah sejak dini sudah diperkenalkan dengan komputer. Tanpa disadari bekerja dengan komputer ternyata membawa dampak yang kurang menyehatkan bagi kesehatan mata kita, untuk meminimilisasi hal tersebut berikut tips singkat menjaga mata dari sengatan radiasi komputer.
Tanda-tanda dampak radiasi tersebut biasanya mata sering terasa kabur, mata berkunang-kunang, kepala agak pusing, dan bahkan yang paling menyedihkan adalah adanya rasa mual bagi pemula yang menggunakan komputer.
Berikut salah satu testimoni yang dialami penulis yang berkecipung dalam bidang komputer yang mengatakan bahwa : Akhir akhir ini saya merasa mata ini mulai terasa kabur kalo melihat jauh.padahal dulunya kalo melihat benda jauh masih sangat jelas.mungkin ini salah satu efek dari radiasi komputer.Tapi gak bisa ngeluh juga,soalnya dalam pekerjaan sehari hari saya menuntut harus didepan komputer selama berjam jam.
Saya merasa anda juga pasti mengalami hal yang sama bukan.bahkan ada anak tetangga saya umurnya masih 10 tahun tapi sudah pake kacamata.memprihatinkan sekali kan.makanya kali ini saya akan mencoba untuk membagikan sedikit trik kepada anda semua bagaimana cara merawat mata agar selalu dalam keadaan sehat.Kan sayang kalo masih muda matanya udah empat (pake kacamata).

1. Coba pasang filter pada monitor komputer anda.filter ini berfungsi untuk menahan radiasi agar tidak sampai ke mata.
2. Pilihlah monitor yang berbentuk LCD/plasma.karena monitor ini dipercaya lebih baik daripada monitor yang model lama.Jika anda punya cukup uang,bisa membeli VGA yang bagus agar warna monitor tidak melelahkan mata.
3. Jagalah jarak mata anda dengan monitor komputer.idealnya jarak mata ke komputer adalah 30 cm.
4. Taroklah monitor sejajar dengan mata anda.jangan terlalu rendah dan jangan terlalu tinggi.usahakan saat anda melihat komputer rasanya enak dan nyaman
5. Atur warna pada layar monitor sehingga enak dipandang mata.jangan terlalu terang karena dapat menyebabkan mata anda menjadi silau.juga jangan terlalu gelap,karena akan menyebabkan mata anda bekerja terlalu keras sehingga membuat mata menjadi cepat kering.
6. Atur screen refresh rate menjadi 75 htz..caranya jika anda pakai windows XP klik kanan pada desktop-properties-setting-advanced-monitor-lihat kolom screen refresh rate.atur menjadi 75 htz.
7. Sesering mungkin kedipkan mata.karena dengan kita mengedipkan mata,akan merangsang kelenjar airmata untuk mengeluarkan air mata yang berfungsi membuat mata menjadi basah dan lembab.jika anda jarang mengedipkan mata,maka mata akan menjadi kering.jika dipaksakan terus mata akan menjadi sakit dan akhirnya memerah.bila perlu anda bisa membeli obat tetes mata untuk membuat mata selalu dalam keadaan basah.
8. Anda bisa membeli semacam kacamata yang bisa anda pakai pada saat menggunakan computer.
9. Perhatikan cahaya disekitar ruangan tempat anda menggunakan komputer.usahakan ruangan cukup pasokan cahaya.jangan menggunakan komputer di ruangan yang gelap(tidak cukup cahaya).
10. Setelah penggunaan komputer dalam jangka waktu yang lama,istirahatkan mata minimal 15 menit.anda bisa melihat lihat keluar ruangan untuk menyegarkan mata.usahakan untuk melihat objek yang berwarna hijau seperti pepohonan dan daun daunan.karena menurut para peneliti,warna hijau mampu membuat mata kembali segar.
11. Perbanyak konsumsi makanan yang menandung vitamin A seperti wortel.juga rajinlah untuk memeriksakan mata ke dokter mata untuk mengetahui adanya gangguan pada mata.jika mata benar benar sudah terasa tidak enak,jangan malu untuk menggunakan kacamata.
12. Demikian sedikit tips dari saya.semoga setelah anda menerapkan tips ini dapat membuat kesehatan mata anda lebih terjaga.
13. Mulai sekarang sayangilah mata anda.karena ini merupakan anugrah yang diberikan kepada tuhan..bayangkan jika anda tidak bisa lagi menikmati indahnya alam….(wah tidak bisa dibayangkan)…harta bisa dicari tapi kesehatan tidak bisa dibeli..ingat itu!!!!

“Kissing Disease” Penularan Virus Lewat Ciuman!

Bukan olok-olok kalau memang nyata ada penyakit berjuluk “kissing disease”.
Ini bukan penyakit baru kemarin dulu, sebab sudah lama ada sejak virus penyebabnya ditemukan.
Siapakah dia? Mari kita simak di bawah ini.
Pada sebuah seminar seks di sebuah sekolah, ada seorang siswi bertanya tentang bahaya berciuman. “Bukankah di mulut kita banyak sekali kuman. Apa dengan sering berciuman tidak membahayakan kesehatan, Dok?” Yang lain bertanya begini, “Apakah berciuman tidak menimbulkan penyakit?”
Benar, di rongga mulut bukan sedikit jumlah kuman dan virus hadir setiap saat. Sebagian hidup berdampingan secara damai dengan tubuh kita. Ia bukan mikroorganisme berbahaya dan jasad renik yang perlu ditakuti sebab tidak sampai menimbulkan penyakit, atau bisa menjangkitkan gangguan kesehatan apa pun.
Namun selain jasad renik yang bersahabat, adakalanya rongga mulut disinggahi pula oleh bibit penyakit yang tidak bersahabat. Jika kuman bersahabat, tidak bermasalah kendati saling baku tukar air liur selama berciuman. Namun berbeda halnya dengan kehadiran kuman atau virus yang tidak bersahabat di rongga mulut.
Nah, berciuman dengan pasangan yang mengidap bibit penyakit yang tidak bersahabat inilah yang memunculkan masalah kesehatan, di antaranya “Kissing disease”.
Virus Cytomegalo
“Kissing disease” disebabkan oleh virus cytomegalo. Virus ini sudah lama dikenal.
Infeksi oleh virus ini sering kita dengar menimpa anak dalam kandungan. Jika ibu hamil mengidap virus jenis ini, otak anak yang dikandungnya kemungkinan akan dirusak. Anak lahir cacat akibat kerusakan otak yang berat. Itu sebab setiap ibu hamil dianjurkan melakukan pemeriksaan darah TORCH, kependekan dari empat penyakit, yakni Toxoplasma, Rubella atau campak Jerman, Cytomegalo virus sendiri, dan Herpes. Keempat penyakit ini bisa bermasalah jika menyerang ibu hamil.
Jika dari pemeriksaan TORCH ada yang positif, ibu perlu disembuhkan dulu dari penyakit yang bisa mengganggu anak yang akan dikandungnya. Baru setelah sembuh dari penyakit itu ibu bisa hamil dengan aman. Jika tidak, selain kemungkinan gugur, anak mati dalam kandungan, atau lahir cacat.
Selain menimpa anak dalam kandungan, infeksi virus cytomegalo tak jarang menyerang usia dewasa. Infeksi bisa ringan saja, bahkan orang tidak tahu kalau mengidap virus ini. Tidak heran kalau ibu hamil yang kelihatannya sehat-sehat saja, kedapatan pemeriksaan darah cytomegalo-nya positif.
Virus cytomegalo sekerabat dengan virus herpes yang bersifat laten pada tubuh manusia. Ia menyukai untuk tinggal di kelenjar liur, muncul di air seni, lendir leher rahim, sperma, ait susu ibu, dan darah. Maka penularan virus ini selain lewat berciuman, dapat pula melalui
transplantasi organ, donor darah, atau persalinan, dan oral seks tentu saja. Hampir sebagian besar orang dewasa pernah disinggahi virus ini. Umumnya ketika masih usia remaja.
Di Amerika virus ini banyak menyerang remaja putri usia 14-16 tahun, dan remaja putra usia 16-18 tahun, atau rata-rata pada usia antara 15-25 tahun-an. Mengapa? Kemungkinan pada usia ini remaja mulai aktif melakukan kegiatan berciuman antar teman kencan.
Gejala “Kissing Disease” tak ubahnya serangan flu, dengan demam, radang tenggorokan, badan letih, dan pegal linu. Bedanya, pada penyakit oleh virus cytomegalo ini hati dan limpa umumnya membengkak, dan serangan yang menyerupai flu ini berlangsung lebih lama, mungkin sampai dua minggu-an.
“Kissing disease” kadang disebut juga penyakit “mononucleosis”. Penyakit ini bisa disembuhkan dengan obat antivirus.
Empat Virus Lain
Selain virus cytomegalo, ada 4 jenis virus lain yang berpotensi ditularkan lewat berciuman, yakni virus Epstein-Barr, virus Herpes-6, virus Hepatitis, dan virus HIV penular AIDS sendiri, serta parasit toxoplasma.
Sama halnya dengan virus cytomegalo, keempat virus inipun sering hadir tanpa keluhan dan gejala, namun tetap bisa menular lewat ciuman. Tanpa sadar, tanpa terasa, virus berpindah ke pasangan ciuman. Mungkin tanpa memperlihatkan gejala dan keluhan apa-apa, atau bisa jadi hanya serangan demam dadakan yang dianggap flu biasa.
Kita tahu selain virus cytomegalo, virus Herpes dan toxoplasma juga mengancam anak di kandungan jika ibu mengidap penyakit ini sewaktu hamil. Anak dalam kandungan yang ibunya mengidap penyakit-penyakit ini, terancam kelainan jantung, tuli, ukuran kepala sangat besar (hydrocephalus), bentuk-bentuk kecacatan lahir yang mungkin timbul.
Apakah kehadiran virus-virus “Kissing disease” ini bisa sampai mematikan jika hanya menyerang orang dewasa?
Umumnya tidak. Lalu apa yang perlu ditakuti? Mestinya memang tidak ada.
Namun belakangan dicemaskan kalau virus dan kuman tertentu yang beredar dalam darah, juga berpotensi menimbulkan kerusakan pada pembuluh darah koroner. Kita tahu kehadiran jenis kuman dan virus tertentu juga ikut menyokong terbentuknya penyakit jantung koroner. Termasuk peranannya pada kemunculan penyakit keletihan menahun (chronic fatigue syndrome).

AGAR SI KECIL GAMPANG TIDUR

Walau sudah mengantuk, si kecil masih berkeras untuk bermain. Akibatnya bisa ditebak, ia jadi rewel dan kalau tidak puas sedikit saja, amukannya gampang meledak. Barulah setelah merasa lelah, ia tak kuat lagi menahan kantuknya dan tertidur.
Tentu saja, agar tak kurang tidur, orangtua harus tahu bahwa umumnya anak-anak batita memerlukan waktu istirahat sekitar 10 sampai 13 jam setiap hari. Dengan catatan, kata Mira D. Amir, Psi., lamanya waktu istirahat ini berbeda untuk setiap anak. Ada anak yang memerlukan waktu tidur lama, tapi ada juga yang relatif sedikit.

Jadi, apakah menjelang tidurnya si batita rewel atau tidak, orangtua sebaiknya tetap menentukan jam berapa ia sudah harus bersiap masuk kamar dan jam berapa harus bangun esok harinya. Ada yang mematok tidur jam 7 atau jam 8 malam, terserah saja. Namun sebaiknya memang tidak terlalu larut agar di pagi hari si kecil sudah bisa bangun dengan waktu tidur yang cukup.

Selebihnya, untuk menghindari sikap rewel itu, Mira menawarkan kiat-kiat agar si batita bisa tidur dengan mudah:

Menepati Jadwal
Bersikaplah konsisten dengan jadwal tidur yang telah ditetapkan. Jika sudah ditentukan jam 8 malam, usahakan setiap hari anak tidur pada jam tersebut. Jangan biarkan tv atau radio menyala. redupkan lampu kamar atau kalau perlu matikan lampu-lampu di area lainnya dan bimbinglah anak masuk kamar tidur. Pola tidur yang terjadwal akan memudahkan anak untuk tidur. Kecuali jika ada alasan sangat mendesak, sesekali boleh saja anak keluar dari rutinitas tersebut.


Bersih-bersih Sebelum Tidur
Berbeda dengan orang dewasa yang bisa langsung tertidur pulas begitu “mencium” kasur, anak-anak umumnya menginginkan ritual tertentu menjelang tidur. Luangkan beberapa menit untuk melakukan rutinitas seperti menggosok gigi, mengenakan baju tidur, serta mencuci tangan dan kaki. Berhubung anak usia ini masih dalam tahap praoperasional, beri contoh langsung dan biarkan anak mengikutinya. Tanpa contoh konkret, jangan harap kita bisa dengan gampang menyuruhnya melakukan hal-hal tadi. Lakukan semua aktivitas tersebut dengan sikap santai dan suasana gembira.

Mengucapkan Doa
Ada baiknya setelah rutinitas fisik selesai dilakukan, orangtua membangun suasana tenang dengan mengajarkan anak mengucapkan doa-doa pendek. Terangkan secara sederhana makna atau harapan dari doa tersebut.

Mendongeng Sebelum Tidur
Dongeng tak hanya bermanfaat sebagai pengantar tidur anak, tapi juga merangsang perkembangannya. Lewat dongeng, perkembangan verbal, imajinasi, kosakata, sekaligus relasi dengan orangtuanya bisa terjalin dengan baik. Jadi, amat disayangkan jika orangtua melewatkan malam menjelang tidur tanpa mendongeng. Tak perlu mengarang atau membacakan cerita baru setiap malam, tapi cukup dengan mengulang-ulang dongeng kemarin. Ingat, anak usia ini umumnya sangat menikmati pengulangan cerita. Tak lama kemudian biasanya ia akan tertidur.

Ciptakan Tidur yang Menyenangkan
Selain acara ritual di atas, orangtua juga bisa membuat acara tidur sebagai sesuatu yang menyenangkan. Semisal dengan mengucapkan selamat tidur kepada boneka atau mainan kesayangannya, atau malah mengajak bonekanya ikut tidur bersamanya. Atau biarkan anak berceloteh tentang kegiatannya sepanjang hari tadi maupun menyanyikan lagu-lagu kegemarannya saat hendak tidur. Dengan begitu anak bisa mengekspresikan perasaannya dan merasa bahagia.
Sediakan Kamar Sendiri
Alangkah baiknya, jika kondisi memang memungkinkan, anak usia batita tengah atau akhir, mendapat kamar sendiri atau minimal tempat tidur sendiri. Upaya ini bisa memacu anak untuk lebih mandiri sementara ketergantungan pada orangtua bisa diminimalkan.
Semisal ia jadi tertantang untuk belajar menghadapi rasa takutnya atau tidak membangunkan orangtua saat hendak buang air kecil. Orangtua juga jadi lebih mudah untuk membiasakan anak berada dalam kamarnya pada jam-jam tertentu. Sebaliknya, jika belum bisa, jangan pernah paksa anak untuk tidur sendiri. Menurut Mira, hal ini wajar karena anak usia batita belum sepenuhnya bisa berpisah dari orangtuanya. “Jangankan anak batita, di Indonesia anak usia SD pun masih ada yang tidur bareng orangtuanya, kok.”

Ciptakan Rasa Aman dan Nyaman
Orangtua sebaiknya menciptakan rasa aman dan nyaman bagi anak sebelum tidur. Entah dengan memeluk si kecil atau mengusap-usapnya beberapa saat sebelum tidur. Cara itu, selain bisa membuat anak lebih cepat tidur, juga memungkinkan hubungan orangtua dan anak jadi lebih akrab dan hangat. Kalau anak terbangun di malam hari, orangtua harus memberikan rasa aman agar anak bisa tidur kembali.

Atasi Rasa Takut
Banyak anak batita tidak bisa tidur karena benaknya dipenuhi perasaan takut akibat imajinasinya sendiri. Seperti ada harimau yang menungguinya di kolong tempat tidur atau makhluk aneh bertengger di atas lemari. Penjelasan sederhana sekaligus konkret amat diperlukan untuk mengatasi hal ini. Hindari penjelasan yang kelewat rasional.
Jadi, omongan saja bahwa tidak ada harimau dan makhluk aneh di kamarnya tidaklah tepat. Akan lebih baik jika orangtua mengajarkan kepada anak untuk menghadapi ketakutannya. Semisal dengan menyingkap sprei dan memeriksa kolong tempat tidurnya sambil bilang, “Lo, kok harimaunya sudah enggak ada di kolong tempat tidur. Wah dia sudah kabur takut sama Adek.” Dengan begitu, anak terbiasa menghadapi ketakutan yang dialaminya. Orangtua hendaknya juga menunjukkan sikap mampu mengatasi ketakutannya sendiri. Ingat lo, orangtua yang penakut biasanya akan melahirkan anak-anak yang penakut juga. Lagi pula bagaimana mungkin orangtua bisa mengajarkan anaknya mengatasi rasa takut jika ia sendiri tidak mampu mengelola perasaaan cemas atau takut yang berlebihan.

Hindari Aktivitas Fisik yang Menguras Tenaga
Banyak orangtua menyangka setelah lelah si kecil pasti bisa cepat tidur dan langsung terlelap. Padahal yang terjadi mungkin sebaliknya, aktivitas fisik yang berlebihan sebelum tidur malah akan membuat tubuhnya bertambah segar karena peredaran darahnya jadi kian lancar. Bukan mustahil bila semalam suntuk anak malah akan terjaga terus. Kalaupun orangtua ingin menyempatkan waktu untuk membina kebersamaan dengan si kecil sebelum dia tidur, pilihlah aktivitas menyenangkan yang relaks, seperti membaca buku cerita.

Jauhi Segala Bentuk Ketegangan
Ketegangan bisa muncul tanpa disadari jika anak menyaksikan lewat film laga, film horor, dan mendengar musik yang kelewat riang atau ingar-bingar. Dalam kondisi tegang seperti itu manalah mungkin mengharapkan anak mudah memejamkan matanya. Lebih baik putarkan lagu-lagu berirama lembut atau film-film kartun pendek yang adegannya diulang-ulang. Dengan begitu daya konsentrasi yang diperlukan untuk menikmati acara tersebut akan melemah, dan anak jadi mudah disergap rasa kantuk.

Batasi Porsi Tidur Siang
Meski memberi manfaat bagi kesehatan anak, batasi porsi tidur siangnya jangan sampai melebihi 2 jam. Terlalu banyak tidur siang juga bisa membuat anak sulit tidur di malam harinya. Akibatnya, anak malah tidak akan bisa tidur pada jam yang telah dijadwalkan. Imbasnya, esok hari dia akan bangun kesiangan.


Hindari Konsumsi Makanan Padat Menjelang Tidur
Usai mengonsumsi makanan padat, lambung akan bekerja ekstrakeras sehingga kantuk justru tak jadi datang. Lebih baik berikan segelas susu hangat yang bisa membantu mengendurkan otot dan sarafnya sebelum anak menggosok gigi.

BIAR RELAKS MENJELANG TIDUR
Anak batita memerlukan rasa aman dalam tidurnya. Banyak cara ia lakukan sendiri untuk mencapai kondisi tersebut. Baik melalui gerakan fisik maupun nonfisik. Misalnya menggerak-gerakkan kakinya, menggesek-gesekkan tangannya ke muka, memilin rambutnya, “bersenandung”, sampai mendekap benda kesayangannya berupa boneka, bantal, atau selimutnya. Gerakan tadi dilakukannya secara berulang-ulang dan terus-menerus hingga semua anggota tubuhnya merasa relaks. Dengan kondisi relaks, maka rasa kantuk biasanya lebih mudah datang.
Kebiasaan-kebiasaan ini, tidak bisa dikatakan sebagai kebiasaan buruk. Hal tersebut dilakukannya semata-mata agar bisa terlelap. Lain halnya jika kebiasaan itu berupa menggigit atau mengisap jari yang tak cuma muncul menjelang tidur. Selain bisa merusak susunan gigi, kebiasaan ini merupakan indikasi adanya ketegangan atau kecemasan dalam diri anak. Orangtua mesti bisa mengamati mengapa si kecil berbuat demikian.

Yang membuat cewek naksir pada cowok ?

Alasan Wanita Jatuh Cinta
Apa yang membuat wanita tergila-gila pada seorang pria?!? Beberapa akan menjawab, karena tubuhnya yang begitu proporsional sehingga enak dilihat. Dan yang lainnya sepakat karena karena tatapan matanya yang begitu ‘dalam’, atau senyumnya yang begitu menawan….! Apapun alasannya, penampilan fisik memang menjadi salah satu bagian yang bisa meningkatkan daya tarik dan kekuatan seseorang untuk disukai lawan jenisnya.

Deborah Blum, penulis Sex on the Brain : “The Biological differences Between Men and Women”, mengatakan :
Saat ini semakin banyak wanita atau pria yang menginginkan hubungan yang bersifat long term partner. Bukan saja hubungan yang sesaat atau one night stand. Itulah, sebabnya, wanita lebih senang mengamati gaya hidup pasangannya, termasuk kepribadian yang dimiliki pria tersebut, daripada hanya terpaku pada penampilan fisik saja.
Penasaran? Lanjutkan terus mencari tahu, sebenarnya sifat apa yang dimiliki pria sehingga ia begitu memikat di mata anda.

TAMPAK CERDAS
Wanita sangat ‘gemas’ dengan pria yang terlihat cerdas dan menanggapi perbincangan yang terjadi di antara mereka. Apalagi, perbincangan tersebut ‘bukan’ termasuk bahan pembicaraan yang biasa dilakukan pria.
Misalnya, tren olahraga yang disukai wanita saat ini, hits album terbaru favorit wanita, dan lain-lain. Pria akan lebih terlihat seksi ketika dia tahu segala ‘jawaban’ bagi pertanyaan yang Anda ajukan.


TENANG DAN MEYAKINKAN
Satu hal yang berusaha dihilangkan dari diri wanita adalah sifatnya yang terlalu emosional dan sensitif. Itulah sebabnya, wanita cenderung memilih pria yang bisa membuat mereka lebih tenang dan
yakin dengan tindakan yang akan diambilnya. Hebatnya, pria sering tampil yakin, kalau ia selalu ada untuk Anda. Selain itu, pria seperti ini membuat Anda yakin ia akan siap membantu Anda ketika dibutuhkan.

HUMORIS YANG TANPA BEBAN
Pria yang ‘penghibur’ lebih disenangi oleh wanita daripada pria kaku dan otoriter. Terkadang, wanita ingin menemukan orang yang bisa membuat ia tertawa di sela-sela kesibukan pekerjaan yang dihadapinya. Pria harus bisa menemukan celah ini dan belajar membuat jokes yang mampu menyegarkan suasana. “Bagaimana saya tidak jatuh cinta? Ia menceritakan sebuah cerita lucu ketika saya curhat tentang pekerjaan yang menyebalkan. Dan ia mengatakan, kamu lebih manis kalau tertawa…”

MENGERTI SIAPA ANDA
Kalau ini alasan Anda memilihnya, percayalah Anda bukan yang pertama melakukannya. Karena fakta mengatakan bahwa pria terpilih karena sifat pengertian yang berlimpah dalam dirinya.
Wow! Dia mengerti kapan Anda terkena PMS (Gejala-gejala yang muncul saat akan menstruasi, red), sehingga ia rela hari-harinya akan dipenuhi dengan amarah dan emosi yang tidak stabil. Pengertian kalau Anda memilih berkumpul dengan teman-teman lama dan mengatur jadwal baru untuk Anda berdua.
Jadi, kalau wanita memilih pria bukan karena fisiknya, apakah berlaku untuk sebaliknya? Tanyakan saja langsung pada si Dia,kenapa Anda yang terpilih, dan bukan yang lain ! Satu lagi, tak ada salahnya kalau pria pasangan Anda bisa ikut membaca uraian ini….siapa tahu dia jadi lebih paham tentang apa yang Anda mau!
sebagian alasan diatas adalah beberapa alasan mengapa seorang wanita bisa tergila-gila dengan seorang pria.

5 Rahasia Lelaki Tidak Berterus Terang

Hasil polling online yang dilakukan salah satu portal internet menemukan bahwa 42% responden perempuan mengalami kesulitan membuat pasangan mereka terbuka dan mau bicara tentang masalah yang sedang dihadapi.
Para perempuan yang menjadi responden polling ini menyatakan bahwa mereka putus asa dan cenderung mengambil sikap menyalahkan pasangan.
Sama halnya seperti perempuan, laki-laki sebenarnya ingin membicarakan masalah yang sedang mereka hadapi pada pasangan. Namun hal ini tidak mudah bagi mereka. So… pahami rahasia mereka, dan bantu pasangan Anda untuk lebih membuka diri.

Tak tahan ditertawakan/dikritik

Kebanyakan lelaki beranggapan perempuan sangat kritis dan berpikir lebih detail. Akibatnya lelaki khawatir jika berterus terang, ia akan ditertawakan. Lelaki cenderung merasa tertolak dan malu jika mengalami hal ini. Anggapan tentang cara berpikir perempuan yang kritis, cenderung membuat lelaki merasa dirinya akan dihakimi bila bercerita tentang masalahnya. Terlebih lagi bila Anda senantiasa “memandang” pasangan berbeda setelah ia berterus terang.
Solusi: Cara terbaik untuk menghadapi hal ini adalah bersabar dan menahan diri saat menanggapi pasangan. Dengarkan dengan cermat ketika pasangan bercerita. Jangan menghalangi dia mengungkapkan dirinya. Jika Anda melakukan hal ini dengan tulus, pasangan dapat merasakannya. Ia akan terbiasa dan mudah mengungkapkan dirinya pada Anda.

Takut ditinggalkan

Banyak lelaki berpikir, jika ia berterus terang tentang hal yang tidak umum dan cenderung negatif pada pasangan, maka ia akan ditinggalkan.
Solusi : Tunjukkan bahwa Anda percaya padanya, hingga pasangan tidak ragu untuk bercerita tentang berbagai hal pada Anda. Ketika ia meminta pendapat Anda, tawarkanlah sesuatu yang positif. Hindari dorongan untuk memberitahu “hal yang benar” menurut Anda. Sebaliknya, pandanglah masalah tersebut dari sisinya.

Tidak tahu

Lelaki dibesarkan dalam pola pengasuhan yang berbeda dengan perempuan. Mereka diharapkan melindungi perempuan, dan bisa mengatasi berbagai masalah termasuk masalah diri mereka sendiri. Kondisi sejak awal inilah yang membuat lelaki tidak terbiasa untuk berbagi masalah dan membicarakannya secara terbuka dengan perempuan.
Solusi :: Cara terbaik membantu seorang lelaki untuk berbicara terbuka adalah dengan memberikan contoh padanya. Ceritakan berbagai pikiran dan perasaan Anda padanya. Berbagilah cara mengatasi masalah yang pernah dan sedang Anda hadapi .

Perempuan sulit menerima kejujuran

Kebanyakan laki-laki berpendapat perempuan ingin dan perlu dibohongi, karena mereka tidak dapat menerima kejujuran. Terlebih lagi, jika kejujuran yang diungkapkan pasangan berisiko memicu pertengkaran atau perubahan sikap.
Solusi: Pastikan pasangan Anda mendapatkan jaminan bahwa Anda tidak seperti yang dicemaskannya. Keinginan mendengarkan sebuah kejujuran adalah awal sebuah hubungan yang dewasa.
Hal penting yang harus Anda ingat ketika meminta pasangan untuk berterus terang adalah, bahwa Anda akan lebih banyak memberi. Jangan lelah melakukannya, justru cara ini akan membuat pasangan mengembangkan respek pada Anda, bahkan lebih dari yang Anda bayangkan.

Kapan memutuskan untuk menikah ?

Perkawinan merupakan komitmen di antara dua orang yang tidak boleh disalahgunakan. Pastikan Anda menikah untuk alasan yang tepat, bukan untuk alasan yang salah.
Manusia dilahirkan dengan keinginan untuk dicintai dan mencintai. Tetapi, cinta tidak bisa dijadikan satu-satunya alasan untuk menikah. Kedengarannya memang romantis, ya, jika ada pasangan yang memutuskan untuk menikah karena tergila-gila satu sama lain. Tetapi, keberhasilan suatu perkawinan didasarkan pada persahabatan yang kuat yang dibangun oleh masing-masing pasangan. Fondasi yang kuat untuk sebuah perkawinan termasuk kecocokan, kepercayaan, dan komunikasi. 


TIGA PERTANYAAN SEBELUM MENIKAH
Rasanya tak ada salahnya Anda mengajukan tiga pertanyaan berikut pada diri sendiri sebelum memutuskan naik pelaminan.
Pertama: Apakah Anda berdua saling cocok?

Di dalam sebuah perkawinan, definisi kecocokan agak sedikit berbeda dan artinya lebih dari hanya memiliki kesamaan hobi, gemar makanan yang sama, film dan musik yang sama, dan seterusnya. Cocok di dalam sebuah perkawinan adalah memiliki kemampuan beradaptasi untuk berubah.

Kedua: Apakah Anda berdua saling percaya?

Perkawinan tanpa rasa saling percaya bisa ditebak merupakan perkawinan yang akan berakhir dengan perceraian. Memiliki kepercayaan dari pasangan merupakan suatu keharusan di dalam suatu hubungan. Bila ada keragu-raguan satu dan lainnya, berarti tidak ada rasa percaya.

Ketiga: Adakah komunikasi?

Tidak adanya komunikasi dapat menghancurkan suatu hubungan. Orang yang menikah perlu berkomunikasi setiap saat. Berbicara hanya pada saat genting atau tidak berbicara sama sekali hanya menyakiti hubungan tadi. Tidak adanya komunikasi juga membawa pernikahan pada perceraian.

Nah, bila Anda dan pasangan dapat menjawab ketiga pertanyaan di atas secara jujur dan saling memberikan jawaban yang memuaskan satu sama lain, mungkin perkawinan merupakan ide yang baik bagi Anda berdua. Memiliki kecocokan, saling percaya, dan komunikasi di dalam suatu hubungan akan membangun fondasi yang kuat dari hubungan yang diperlukan untuk sebuah perkawinan. Perkawinan di antara dua manusia harus berlangsung hanya bila memiliki ketiga faktor di atas.

PIKIR KEMBALI JIKA…

Rasanya bukan merupakan ide yang baik bila Anda menikah untuk alasan yang salah. Alasan untuk tidak menikah termasuk menikah karena cinta pada pandangan pertama, ketertarikan secara seksual, mengatasi rasa kesepian, sebagai sikap berontak, karena keharusan, tekanan, kehamilan, dan untuk alasan keuangan.
* Cinta pada pandangan pertama
Menikah didasari pada cinta saja merupakan alasan utama untuk tidak menikah. Cinta pada pandangan pertama merupakan perasaan sementara. Hanya cinta saja, bukan merupakan fondasi yang cukup untuk menopang suatu perkawinan. Menikah karena alasan cinta pada pandangan pertama merupakan ide yang buruk, dan menikah karena ketertarikan secara seksual tidak akan bertahan.
* Mengatasi rasa kesepian
Menikah hanya untuk menghindari perasaan kesepian jelas bukan termasuk alasan yang tepat, baik bagi Anda maupun  pasangan. Manusia takut kesepian dan karena itu mereka cenderung melakukan pernikahan untuk menghindarinya. Alasan ini tidak memiliki fondasi yang kuat untuk suatu persahabatan dan perkawinan dan biasanya berakhir dengan ketidakbahagiaan yang mengarah pada perceraian.
* Sikap berontak
Menikah sebagai ungkapan rasa berontak juga  bukan merupakan ide yang baik. Hal ini memperlihatkan sikap mementingkan diri sendiri. Menikah sebagai bentuk pemberontakan hanya akan menyakiti orang yang Anda cintai dan diri sendiri. Pemberontakan di dalam suatu perkawinan dapat memiliki dampak yang negatif pada orang-orang yang terlibat.
Menikah dengan seseorang sebagai pelarian tidak adil bagi pasangannya. Orang yang jatuh cinta sebagai pelarian, cenderung menikahi orang yang salah. Menikah karena alasan sebagai pelarian dapat menyakiti pasangannya yang pada dasarnya memang betul-betul mencintainya.
* Keterpaksaan
Anda tidak boleh merasa terpaksa ataupun memaksa seseorang untuk menikah. Perkawinan semacam ini biasanya berakhir dengan perceraian. Tidak sedikit orang yang menikah karena merasa terpaksa atau merasa bersalah untuk menolaknya. Menikahi seseorang untuk menyenangkan pasangannya bukan merupakan ide yang baik. Mengikuti kehendak orangtua, keluarga, ataupun teman-teman, hanya akan membuat Anda tidak bahagia.
* Status
Menikah untuk menghindari status orangtua tunggal atau perawan tua bukan merupakan ide yang baik. Banyak orang percaya kehamilan dapat mengikat seseorang untuk menikahinya, namun ia tidak menyadari bahwa hal ini merupakan cara yang salah. Memang betul seorang anak memerlukan sosok dua orangtua yang utuh, tetapi bila perceraian dapat dihindari, demikian juga halnya dengan pernikahan yang terpaksa. Perceraian dapat memberikan dampak negatif pada anak-anak.
* Alasan ekonomi
Banyak pria maupun wanita yang menikah karena alasan keuangan, yaitu menikah dengan seseorang agar dapat mengatasi masalah keuangan yang mereka hadapi. Hal ini merupakan alasan yang paling egois untuk menikahi seseorang.

10 reasons why PCs crash you must Know

Fatal error: the system has become unstable or is busy,” it says. “Enter to return to Windows or press Control-Alt-Delete to restart your computer. If you do this you will lose any unsaved information in all open applications.”
You have just been struck by the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Mcft Windows will be familiar with this. What can you do? More importantly, how can you prevent it happening?

1 Hardware conflict

The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device communicates to other devices through an interrupt request channel (IRQ). These are supposed to be unique for each device.
For example, a printer usually connects internally on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device will try to hog a single IRQ for itself.
If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, a crash can happen. The way to check if your computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager.
Often if a device has a problem a yellow ‘!’ appears next to its description in the Device Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be using it.
Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as ‘IRQ holder for PCI steering’. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.
Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is www.driverguide.com. If the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the warranty).
When working inside a computer you should switch it off, unplug the mains lead and touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
To be fair to Mcft, the problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the number of IRQs in future designs.

2 Bad Ram

Ram (random-access memory) problems might bring on the blue screen of death with a message saying Fatal Exception Error. A fatal error indicates a serious hardware problem. Sometimes it may mean a part is damaged and will need replacing.
But a fatal error caused by Ram might be caused by a mismatch of chips. For example, mixing 70-nanosecond (70ns) Ram with 60ns Ram will usually force the computer to run all the Ram at the slower speed. This will often crash the machine if the Ram is overworked.
One way around this problem is to enter the BIOS settings and increase the wait state of the Ram. This can make it more stable. Another way to troubleshoot a suspected Ram problem is to rearrange the Ram chips on the motherboard, or take some of them out. Then try to repeat the circumstances that caused the crash. When handling Ram try not to touch the gold connections, as they can be easily damaged.
Parity error messages also refer to Ram. Modern Ram chips are either parity (ECC) or non parity (non-ECC). It is best not to mix the two types, as this can be a cause of trouble.
EMM386 error messages refer to memory problems but may not be connected to bad Ram. This may be due to free memory problems often linked to old Dos-based programmes.

3 BIOS settings

Every motherboard is supplied with a range of chipset settings that are decided in the factory. A common way to access these settings is to press the F2 or delete button during the first few seconds of a boot-up.
Once inside the BIOS, great care should be taken. It is a good idea to write down on a piece of paper all the settings that appear on the screen. That way, if you change something and the computer becomes more unstable, you will know what settings to revert to.
A common BIOS error concerns the CAS latency. This refers to the Ram. Older EDO (extended data out) Ram has a CAS latency of 3. Newer SDRam has a CAS latency of 2. Setting the wrong figure can cause the Ram to lock up and freeze the computer’s display.
Mcft Windows is better at allocating IRQ numbers than any BIOS. If possible set the IRQ numbers to Auto in the BIOS. This will allow Windows to allocate the IRQ numbers (make sure the BIOS setting for Plug and Play OS is switched to ‘yes’ to allow Windows to do this.).

4 Hard disk drives

After a few weeks, the information on a hard disk drive starts to become piecemeal or fragmented. It is a good idea to defragment the hard disk every week or so, to prevent the disk from causing a screen freeze. Go to
* Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Defragmenter
This will start the procedure. You will be unable to write data to the hard drive (to save it) while the disk is defragmenting, so it is a good idea to schedule the procedure for a period of inactivity using the Task Scheduler.
The Task Scheduler should be one of the small icons on the bottom right of the Windows opening page (the desktop).
Some lockups and screen freezes caused by hard disk problems can be solved by reducing the read-ahead optimisation. This can be adjusted by going to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System Icon-Performance-File System-Hard Disk.
Hard disks will slow down and crash if they are too full. Do some housekeeping on your hard drive every few months and free some space on it. Open the Windows folder on the C drive and find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Deleting the contents (not the folder) can free a lot of space.
Empty the Recycle Bin every week to free more space. Hard disk drives should be scanned every week for errors or bad sectors. Go to
* Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-ScanDisk
Otherwise assign the Task Scheduler to perform this operation at night when the computer is not in use.

5 Fatal OE exceptions and VXD errors

Fatal OE exception errors and VXD errors are often caused by video card problems.
These can often be resolved easily by reducing the resolution of the video display. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-Display-Settings
Here you should slide the screen area bar to the left. Take a look at the colour settings on the left of that window. For most desktops, high colour 16-bit depth is adequate.
If the screen freezes or you experience system lockups it might be due to the video card. Make sure it does not have a hardware conflict. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager
Here, select the + beside Display Adapter. A line of text describing your video card should appear. Select it (make it blue) and press properties. Then select Resources and select each line in the window. Look for a message that says No Conflicts.
If you have video card hardware conflict, you will see it here. Be careful at this point and make a note of everything you do in case you make things worse.
The way to resolve a hardware conflict is to uncheck the Use Automatic Settings box and hit the Change Settings button. You are searching for a setting that will display a No Conflicts message.
Another useful way to resolve video problems is to go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Performance-Graphics
Here you should move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the left. As ever, the most common cause of problems relating to graphics cards is old or faulty drivers (a driver is a small piece of software used by a computer to communicate with a device).
Look up your video card’s manufacturer on the internet and search for the most recent drivers for it.

6 Viruses

Often the first sign of a virus infection is instability. Some viruses erase the boot sector of a hard drive, making it impossible to start. This is why it is a good idea to create a Windows start-up disk. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs
Here, look for the Start Up Disk tab. Virus protection requires constant vigilance.
A virus scanner requires a list of virus signatures in order to be able to identify viruses. These signatures are stored in a DAT file. DAT files should be updated weekly from the website of your antivirus software manufacturer.
An excellent antivirus programme is McAfee VirusScan by Network Associates ( www.nai.com). Another is Norton AntiVirus 2000, made by Symantec ( www.symantec.com).

7 Printers

The action of sending a document to print creates a bigger file, often called a postscript file.
Printers have only a small amount of memory, called a buffer. This can be easily overloaded. Printing a document also uses a considerable amount of CPU power. This will also slow down the computer’s performance.
If the printer is trying to print unusual characters, these might not be recognised, and can crash the computer. Sometimes printers will not recover from a crash because of confusion in the buffer. A good way to clear the buffer is to unplug the printer for ten seconds. Booting up from a powerless state, also called a cold boot, will restore the printer’s default settings and you may be able to carry on.

8 Software

A common cause of computer crash is faulty or badly-installed software. Often the problem can be cured by uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it. Use Norton Uninstall or Uninstall Shield to remove an application from your system properly. This will also remove references to the programme in the System Registry and leaves the way clear for a completely fresh copy.
The System Registry can be corrupted by old references to obsolete software that you thought was uninstalled. Use Reg Cleaner by Jouni Vuorio to clean up the System Registry and remove obsolete entries. It works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Millennium Edition (ME), NT4 and Windows 2000.
Read the instructions and use it carefully so you don’t do permanent damage to the Registry. If the Registry is damaged you will have to reinstall your operating system. Reg Cleaner can be obtained from www.jv16.org
Often a Windows problem can be resolved by entering Safe Mode. This can be done during start-up. When you see the message “Starting Windows” press F4. This should take you into Safe Mode.
Safe Mode loads a minimum of drivers. It allows you to find and fix problems that prevent Windows from loading properly.
Sometimes installing Windows is difficult because of unsuitable BIOS settings. If you keep getting SUWIN error messages (Windows setup) during the Windows installation, then try entering the BIOS and disabling the CPU internal cache. Try to disable the Level 2 (L2) cache if that doesn’t work.
Remember to restore all the BIOS settings back to their former settings following installation.

9 Overheating

Central processing units (CPUs) are usually equipped with fans to keep them cool. If the fan fails or if the CPU gets old it may start to overheat and generate a particular kind of error called a kernel error. This is a common problem in chips that have been overclocked to operate at higher speeds than they are supposed to.
One remedy is to get a bigger better fan and install it on top of the CPU. Specialist cooling fans/heatsinks are available from www.computernerd.com or www.coolit.com
CPU problems can often be fixed by disabling the CPU internal cache in the BIOS. This will make the machine run more slowly, but it should also be more stable.

10 Power supply problems

With all the new construction going on around the country the steady supply of electricity has become disrupted. A power surge or spike can crash a computer as easily as a power cut.
If this has become a nuisance for you then consider buying a uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This will give you a clean power supply when there is electricity, and it will give you a few minutes to perform a controlled shutdown in case of a power cut.
It is a good investment if your data are critical, because a power cut will cause any unsaved data to be lost.

23 Ways To Speed WinXP, Not only Defrag

Since defragging the disk won’t do much to improve Windows XP performance, here are 23 suggestions that will. Each can enhance the performance and reliability of your customers’ PCs. Best of all, most of them will cost you nothing.

1. To decrease a system’s boot time and increase system performance, use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software — the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine — and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA hard drive with 8-MB cache buffer.
2. If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.
3. Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system. If you’re not sure, here’s how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the prompt, type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press the Enter key. This process may take a while; it’s important that the computer be uninterrupted and virus-free. The file system used by the bootable drive will be either FAT32 or NTFS. I highly recommend NTFS for its superior security, reliability, and efficiency with larger disk drives.
4. Disable file indexing. The indexing service extracts information from documents and other files on the hard drive and creates a “searchable keyword index.” As you can imagine, this process can be quite taxing on any system. The idea is that the user can search for a word, phrase, or property inside a document, should they have hundreds or thousands of documents and not know the file name of the document they want. Windows XP’s built-in search functionality can still perform these kinds of searches without the Indexing service. It just takes longer. The OS has to open each file at the time of the request to help find what the user is looking for. Most people never need this feature of search. Those who do are typically in a large corporate environment where thousands of documents are located on at least one server. But if you’re a typical system builder, most of your clients are small and medium businesses. And if your clients have no need for this search feature, I recommend disabling it. Here’s how: First, double-click the My Computer icon. Next, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Uncheck “Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching.” Next, apply changes to “C: subfolders and files,” and click OK. If a warning or error message appears (such as “Access is denied”), click the Ignore All button.
5. Update the PC’s video and motherboard chipset drivers. Also, update and configure the BIOS. For more information on how to configure your BIOS properly, see this article on my site.
6. Empty the Windows Prefetch folder every three months or so. Windows XP can “prefetch” portions of data and applications that are used frequently. This makes processes appear to load faster when called upon by the user. That’s fine. But over time, the prefetch folder may become overloaded with references to files and applications no longer in use. When that happens, Windows XP is wasting time, and slowing system performance, by pre-loading them. Nothing critical is in this folder, and the entire contents are safe to delete.
7. Once a month, run a disk cleanup. Here’s how: Double-click the My Computer icon. Then right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. Click the Disk Cleanup button — it’s just to the right of the Capacity pie graph — and delete all temporary files.
8. In your Device Manager, double-click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers device, and ensure that DMA is enabled for each drive you have connected to the Primary and Secondary controller. Do this by double-clicking on Primary IDE Channel. Then click the Advanced Settings tab. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to “DMA if available” for both Device 0 and Device 1. Then repeat this process with the Secondary IDE Channel.
9. Upgrade the cabling. As hard-drive technology improves, the cabling requirements to achieve these performance boosts have become more stringent. Be sure to use 80-wire Ultra-133 cables on all of your IDE devices with the connectors properly assigned to the matching Master/Slave/Motherboard sockets. A single device must be at the end of the cable; connecting a single drive to the middle connector on a ribbon cable will cause signaling problems. With Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems will prevent the drive from performing at its maximum potential. Also, because these cables inherently support “cable select,” the location of each drive on the cable is important. For these reasons, the cable is designed so drive positioning is explicitly clear.
10. Remove all spyware from the computer. Use free programs such as AdAware by Lavasoft or SpyBot Search & Destroy. Once these programs are installed, be sure to check for and download any updates before starting your search. Anything either program finds can be safely removed. Any free software that requires spyware to run will no longer function once the spyware portion has been removed; if your customer really wants the program even though it contains spyware, simply reinstall it. For more information on removing Spyware visit this Web Pro News page.
11. Remove any unnecessary programs and/or items from Windows Startup routine using the MSCONFIG utility. Here’s how: First, click Start, click Run, type MSCONFIG, and click OK. Click the StartUp tab, then uncheck any items you don’t want to start when Windows starts. Unsure what some items are? Visit the WinTasks Process Library. It contains known system processes, applications, as well as spyware references and explanations. Or quickly identify them by searching for the filenames using Google or another Web search engine.
12. Remove any unnecessary or unused programs from the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel.
13. Turn off any and all unnecessary animations, and disable active desktop. In fact, for optimal performance, turn off all animations. Windows XP offers many different settings in this area. Here’s how to do it: First click on the System icon in the Control Panel. Next, click on the Advanced tab. Select the Settings button located under Performance. Feel free to play around with the options offered here, as nothing you can change will alter the reliability of the computer — only its responsiveness.
14. If your customer is an advanced user who is comfortable editing their registry, try some of the performance registry tweaks offered at Tweak XP.
15. Visit Microsoft’s Windows update site regularly, and download all updates labeled Critical. Download any optional updates at your discretion.
16. Update the customer’s anti-virus software on a weekly, even daily, basis. Make sure they have only one anti-virus software package installed. Mixing anti-virus software is a sure way to spell disaster for performance and reliability.
17. Make sure the customer has fewer than 500 type fonts installed on their computer. The more fonts they have, the slower the system will become. While Windows XP handles fonts much more efficiently than did the previous versions of Windows, too many fonts — that is, anything over 500 — will noticeably tax the system.
18. Do not partition the hard drive. Windows XP’s NTFS file system runs more efficiently on one large partition. The data is no safer on a separate partition, and a reformat is never necessary to reinstall an operating system. The same excuses people offer for using partitions apply to using a folder instead. For example, instead of putting all your data on the D: drive, put it in a folder called “D drive.” You’ll achieve the same organizational benefits that a separate partition offers, but without the degradation in system performance. Also, your free space won’t be limited by the size of the partition; instead, it will be limited by the size of the entire hard drive. This means you won’t need to resize any partitions, ever. That task can be time-consuming and also can result in lost data.
19. Check the system’s RAM to ensure it is operating properly. I recommend using a free program called MemTest86. The download will make a bootable CD or diskette (your choice), which will run 10 extensive tests on the PC’s memory automatically after you boot to the disk you created. Allow all tests to run until at least three passes of the 10 tests are completed. If the program encounters any errors, turn off and unplug the computer, remove a stick of memory (assuming you have more than one), and run the test again. Remember, bad memory cannot be repaired, but only replaced.
20. If the PC has a CD or DVD recorder, check the drive manufacturer’s Web site for updated firmware. In some cases you’ll be able to upgrade the recorder to a faster speed. Best of all, it’s free.
21. Disable unnecessary services. Windows XP loads a lot of services that your customer most likely does not need. To determine which services you can disable for your client, visit the Black Viper site for Windows XP configurations.
22. If you’re sick of a single Windows Explorer window crashing and then taking the rest of your OS down with it, then follow this tip: open My Computer, click on Tools, then Folder Options. Now click on the View tab. Scroll down to “Launch folder windows in a separate process,” and enable this option. You’ll have to reboot your machine for this option to take effect.
23. At least once a year, open the computer’s cases and blow out all the dust and debris. While you’re in there, check that all the fans are turning properly. Also inspect the motherboard capacitors for bulging or leaks. For more information on this leaking-capacitor phenomena, you can read numerous articles on my site. Following any of these suggestions should result in noticeable improvements to the performance and reliability of your customers’ computers. If you still want to defrag a disk, remember that the main benefit will be to make your data more retrievable in the event of a crashed drive.

Bypassing url filter by google translator

Are you being told what you can do by the proxy in you company you work for? Does technology
become disobedient and does not give you what you want but that filter crap? Does it also
block anonymizer.com? Well if theres a will there a way and it is:

Disclamer: I am not responsible for you boss/teacher/professor yelling at you or you getting a
referral, arrested, or getting fired. If you get in trouble I dont. Any information about how
to “BYPASS BASIC URL FILTERS” is for educational purposes only and I DO NOT encourage you to
look at porn or hack while you are susposed to be working. The basic thing is simple: I will
not get in trouble for posting this. This is for you understanding the holes in filters to
make em better and close security holes.

How to do it on the fly:

1. Go to Google.com
2. Type sometinhg you know will have things in other languages. (ex. German)
3. In the results page, look for a link in the listing that says translate page.
—————— How to find tranlate link…________Google |______________|
You search has 2 results
(An english site)
This is a site in english.
www.english.com- 20bytes
(a spanish site) – [Translate page] <— Click here
Esto es un sitio en español.
www.spanishsite.com- 20bytes
4. It would come out to:
http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spanishsite.com&langpair=en%7Ces&hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8
5. Make it look like this: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=
6. Add blocked url to the end.
( results in: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://blocked.site.com)
Note: Always include the “http://” or it will not work.
7. It download the page like it would if there were no filter.

Additional Notes

If you keep the url in your mind, you can tpye it out. I This can also be accessed by language
tools which would be eaiser. This is the way you would do it if you want to show off.
I tested it on a Chaprone filter. And they counld not afford to block it because they would
disable all of google, too. Other search engines might have it, too. I haved not tested it
on other filters. There is really no way to stop this, becuase google is getting the
information and sending it to you, meaning google is a like a proxy server.

A liitle about Spyware

There are a lot of PC users that know little about “Spyware”, “Mal-ware”, “hijackers”, “Dialers” & many more. This will help you avoid pop-ups, spammers and all those baddies.

What is spy-ware?

Spy-ware is Internet jargon for Advertising Supported software (Ad-ware). It is a way for shareware authors to make money from a product, other than by selling it to the users. There are several large media companies that offer them to place banner ads in their products in exchange for a portion of the revenue from banner sales. This way, you don’t have to pay for the software and the developers are still getting paid. If you find the banners annoying, there is usually an option to remove them, by paying the regular licensing fee.
Known spywares
There are thousands out there, new ones are added to the list everyday. But here are a few:
Alexa, Aureate/Radiate, BargainBuddy, ClickTillUWin, Conducent Timesink, Cydoor, Comet Cursor, eZula/KaZaa Toptext, Flashpoint/Flashtrack, Flyswat, Gator, GoHip, Hotbar, ISTbar, Lions Pride Enterprises/Blazing Logic/Trek Blue, Lop (C2Media), Mattel Brodcast, Morpheus, NewDotNet, Realplayer, Songspy, Xupiter, Web3000, WebHancer, Windows Messenger Service.
