3 Wishes

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.

She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.

The frog said to her, 'If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.'

 

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, 'Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!'

 

The woman said, 'That's okay.'

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, 'You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to'.

 

The woman replied, 'That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me.'

So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!

 

 

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.

The frog said, 'That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.'

 

The woman said, 'That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine.'

So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

 

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, 'I'd like a mild heart attack.'

 

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them.

Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good.

 

Male readers: Please scroll down.

Papaya leaves juice a natural cure for dengue

"While the authorities across India continue to battle increasing number of dengue fever, which has no known vaccine, papaya leaves juice has been found to be helpful in combating the fever.

According to a message received from Dr Sumedha Bajaj of Bombay Hospital, two tablespoon full of papaya leaves juice once a day works wonders for the dengue affected persons.

Dr Bajaj quotes an instance of a patient suffering with dengue fever whose platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after three days in hospital and water had started to fill up her lung making it difficult for her to breathe.

Doctors had given up saying that there was no cure for dengue and the body’s immune system needed to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle.

It was then that papaya leaves juice came to her rescue. The very next day of having taken the juice that platelet count showed an upward trend and her fever subsided. With the continuous feeding of papaya leaf juice she recovered in three days.

Dr Bajaj says, just clean two pieces of only the leafy part, no stem or sap, and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. One leaf gives one tablespoon juice. The juice need not be boiled or cooked or rinsed with water, or it will loose its strength. Although, the juice is very bitter, it needs to be swallowed as it is and it works, says Dr Bajaj.

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins University

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

  • WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

    a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells . Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very sma ll amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it w h i te in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

    b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

    c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

    d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes t o no urish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

    e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more e nzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer ce lls to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

Jokes / Blagues

Difference
Q : What's the difference between biology and sociology ?
A : When the baby looks like his dad, it is biology. When the baby looks like the neighbour, then it is sociology.

Emploi
Deux licenciés d'Alstom discutent :
- T'as pas l'air en forme. Qu'est-ce qui t'arrive ?
- Tu te souviens quand je travaillais à Vires, je me suis fait virer.
- Oui. Et alors ?
- Après, j'ai bossé à Limoges et je me suis fais limoger…
- Euh, oui…
- J'ai travaillé à Lourdes et je me suis fait lourder.
- Et c'est pour ça que tu t'en fais ?
- C'est-à-dire qu'on vient de me proposer un boulot à Castres. J'hésite un peu…

Faites-vous plaisir !
Vous adorez sentir le contact avec des corps inconnus, les secousses des corps qui suent, les positions inconfortables, assis comme debout ? Vous aimez aussi entrer par l'arrière, par l'avant, monter et descendre, entrer froid et sortir chaud ? Vous aimez ça ? Alors, prenez le bus !

Congratulations
A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card ; it said : Rest in Peace.
The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said :
- Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this : somewhere there is a funeral taking place today and they have flowers with a note saying " Congratulations on your new location ".

Mind your own business
Un fermier trouve son cheval malade. Il fait venir le vétérinaire. Ce dernier lui dit que le cheval est infecté par un virus et qu'il va prescrire un remède. Si le remède n'a pas agi dans les trois jours, il faudra abattre le cheval pour éviter d'infecter les autres animaux. Le cochon de la ferme, qui a tout entendu, va trouver le cheval et lui dit :
- Fais un effort, lève-toi !
Mais le cheval est trop malade. Le deuxième jour, même chose, le cochon dit au cheval :
- Fais un effort, lève-toi !
Mais le cheval est encore trop malade. Le troisième jour, le cochon dit :
- Fais un effort, lève-toi, sinon ils vont t'abattre aujourd'hui.
Le remède n'a toujours pas fait d'effet, mais, dans un dernier sursaut, grâce aux conseils du cochon, le cheval arrive à se lever devant le fermier et le vétérinaire. Le fermier, tout content, dit :
- Pour fêter l'événement, on va tuer le cochon.
Moralité : ne te mêle jamais de ce qui ne te regarde pas…

Info télé
Un blond et son ami regardent les infos de midi. L'écran montre un homme désespéré s'aprêtant à se jeter dans le vide.
- Je te parie qu'il va le faire, dit l'ami.
- Et moi, je crois qu'il ne va pas le faire, répondit le blond.
L'homme se jette et s'écrase au sol. Le blond remet l'argent à son ami.
- Je ne peux pas prendre ton argent parceque j'ai triché. J'avais déjà vu cette info à dix heures.
- Mais non ! Tu gardes l'argent parce que moi aussi j'ai triché, retorqua le blond. Comme toi, j'ai regardé cette info à dix heures, mais je me suis dit que cet idiot n'allait quand même pas faire la même bêtise une deuxième fois !

Like a woman
On a Trans-Atlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die !"
Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on Earth to be memorable ! No one has ever made me really feel like a woman ! Well I've had it ! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a woman ??"
Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says. He was gorgeous. Tall, built with long flowing black hair and jet black eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. No one moves.
The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation as the strange man approaches. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her and extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers : "Iron this."

One Download Manager for Everything

So, you are still looking for that one download manager which can take care of everything and yet be free of charge!  A while back this idea would have been far-fetched but not now!  GetRight and others brought us incredible experience and change the way we downloaded by providing resuming capabilities, a feature which is de facto in all managers these days.  But their main drawback was their price!

But fear not since Free Download Manager (FDM) has paved its way into the DM Arena.  It provides all features a user can ever need and the best part is that its free and compatible with Firefox.  Though it does have a browser monitoring feature, I would recommend using it together with the Flashgot extension for Firefox, and you'll see how your life changes.  The best thing about FDM is that it can also manage Rapidshare links directly.  So, if you have a premium account, you can paste the link in FDM and give it your RS account user name and password and it will take care of the rest.

I've been using it for over a year now and never once did I have to turn back.  I am more than pleased with it.

Why are you guys just listening to me, go try it for yourself...

Intelligent!

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and
one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they
decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going
 to fall. They weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a
 very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the
 rope,because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her
 husband and kids, or for men in general, and was used to always making
sacrifices with little in return. As soon as she finished her speech, all the
men started clapping their hands.......

Browse the web safer with Opera

During the past few years, we have seen and witnessed the emergence of so many web browsers, all focusing on security since perpetrators breached into Microsoft's flagship web browser, the most popular Internet Explorer.

Many of us have since bowed to Mozilla Foundation's Firefox. For sure, Firefox and its plethora of addons is a must for any surfer and tech-aholic.  But we have other choices as, and in this case here, a better choice to Firefox.

Opera for some unknown reasons has seen itself fall from zenith for no reason.  I believe Internet Explorer reached out to people in such tremendous force that Opera was in no time in the dark, for Opera was amongst the first generation of web browsers.  It has been out there much before any modern browser and has been in constant development.  The last few years have seen Opera rising in fame again.  Let us not forget that Opera introduced tab-browsing.

I have been using it since now  6 years and I have nothing to complain about.  I just don't know why web designers don't use Opera's powerful features and make their web sites compatible with it.  Opera has a huge collection of built plug-ins and its easy to add more.

New features are always on-coming in new releases of Opera; there's always something new to play with at some point in time with Opera.  The newest version comes with the "speed dial" idea which allows a user to quickly select a favourite website he or she has set.  This is a real time saver.  You could just put all your favourite search engines and community sites and they would all be just one click away.

Opera is also very easy to expand with the widgets.  Thousands and thousands of people work on developing the widgets and  you can have anything you want. A particular one I like is the Sudoku widget - nice thing to play around with waiting for that download to be over.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you can embed and play games in Opera while you are browsing.

I see no reasons why you shouldn't give it a try. Its packed with features, loaded with options, fast in dealing with downloads, its a time-saver, its faster and its OPERA.  A well-deserved name and reputation to live up to.

The last scent of the Harry Potter Soup…


Back in 1997, the Harry Potter concept was new, thrilling, entertaining and addictive at the same time. The magic of J.K. Rowling was working out on all Muggles. We just couldn't have enough of it and kept on waiting, more than impatiently, when the next book would eventually come out. We had to know what happens to Potter and his two closest friends. I was quite young myself in those days and willingly let myself drown in the fantasy of the Wizarding World. Throughout these past 10 years, experiencing Harry has been more than a thirst-quenching experience and I ought to say that Rowling has an immense imagination and loads of stuff which none of us would ever know – her own little secrets and facts about her characters and their wizarding environment.

I just grabbed and finished my long-awaited copy of the seventh and final installment of franchise and I believe its an awesome read. You have no time to think. The way it has been written is spectacularly blissful and coherent. Though you would want to grab a dictionary to check up on those words you have never seen before, but just the idea of leaving the text is painful and as such you would want to continue and forget about those un-understandable words. We can all do without them. Harry is far more important than a couple of high-sounding syllables. Though many of us would have expected a particular ending considering the facts mentioned in the 5th Book. Things don't turn out that way, fortunately (or unfortunately!).

And l have this strange feeling that ideas may have been copied from somewhere else. Being a big-time science-fiction addicted lover, it wasn't hard for me to morph in to the context in which some scenes in the book were set.

// SPOILER WARNING … DON'T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HATE SPOILERS AND DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE STORYLINE … YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED \\

Let's take for example some scenes in the forest, they oddly resemble those in lord of the rings. And the elves!!? Well, I would attribute the proper literary-belonging of elves as the magnificent beings created by J.R.R Tolkien. Many have speculated that Rowling has tarnished and dirtied without hesitation the marvelous creation of Tolkien's work and I completely agree with them. Being much more of a Tolkien fan, I do support this ideology. But the way she has used these creatures and made them into her own is more revolting I believe. Anyway, this is out of context.

The scene which many of us might have recollected as belonging to one of first scenes of the "The Matrix Revolutions" is after the "death" of Harry! After indeed getting shot by the killing curse (Avada Kedavra), Harry is sent to a sort of place like a station between the real and imaginary worlds, just like Neo being sent to the station after stopping those sentinels. And the similarity between both scenes is that they both take place in a train station!!!

Well, I was amazed by the way the story ends. I daresay I hadn't expected that ending at all. The end was good, but Rowling has left many questions unanswered! Let's give it a shot…

  1. What's happens to Harry after the last battle?
  2. What becomes of Harry? What's his job? Did he manage to become an Auror or not?
  3. What did Harry do the years following the downfall of Voldemort?
  4. What of the Wizarding community's reactions to Snape's doings and allegiance?
  5. Who takes control of Hogwarts, in the sense that who becomes Headmaster or Headmistress?
  6. What's the Wizarding World upto after all the events of the Battle of Hogwarts?
  7. What of the Weasley family? Nothing much is mentioned about them? What happens to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley?

There are many other questions as well, pertaining to the staff of Hogwarts like McGonagall, Sprout, Flitwick and the rest. Nothing is said about them though they have been important characters since the very first book.


I am disappointed as I was supposing the author would answer these questions but nonetheless I was very intrigued and taken by the book. Its one heavenly read not to miss for anything…Muggles, tighten your seat bells and prepare yourselves for the last of the Harry Potter Magic…Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows…A definite read. Marvelous work Mrs. Rowling, History shall remember you forever…Harry has been indeed etched in the hearts of many.


Cheers and farewell.

Safari on Windows

Ah! Here comes another web browser for the Windows platform and its from no other firm than Microsoft sworn rival Apple.  Apple has launched a public beta of its most famous Safari browser for the windows environment. As soon as I got hint of this from the BBC news technology section, I checked it out for myself.

The software is a sleek and elegant masterpiece, well-crafted to fit the needs of the web browser.  It is not as bulky as Firefox and starts in a split second, so fast you don't even realise it. And when I say fast, I mean faster than any other application that lurks in your PC. It renders web pages quickly and effortlessly, though for now you might have some troubles viewing some pages, but that wasn't much of a problem for me.  It opened all my pages flawlessly.  If its doing so good in beta, I can just wonder what the final release will be like.

You have the option to download most used plug-ins when you request to get the package from the apple web site.  Only the most needed plug-ins are available, such adobe flash, adobe reader, java and so on.

I am myself only starting to use it and I more than very happy with it.  I am sure it will become one of my browsers of choice in a few days time, due to its simplicity and ease of use.

Check out :


Want to know the reason behind Apple launching Safari for Windows... view it on BBC News.

Its definitely worth a try...

Family Problems

Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation.

One of them kept complaining of family problems.

Finally the other man said:

"You think you have family problems? Listen to my situation.

A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown up daughter.
We got married and I got myself a step-daughter.
Later, my father married my step-daughter.
That made my step daughter my step-mother.
And my father became my step-son.

Also my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law.
Much later the daughter of my wife, my step-mother, had a son.
This boy was my half brother because he was my father's son.
But he was also the son of my wife's daughter which made him my wife's grand-son.

That made me the grandfather of my half brother.

This was nothing until my wife and I had a son.
Now the half sister of my son, my step-mother, is also his grandmother.
This makes my father the brother-in-law of my child,
whose step-sister is my father's wife.


I am my step-mother's brother-in-law,
my wife is her own child's aunt,
my son is my father's nephew and
I am my OWN GRAND FATHER!!!!!!!!!!


And you think you have FAMILY PROBLEMS !!!!!!!!!

Yahoo! Photos shutting down

I have just received an email from Multiply telling me about the option to transfer my Yahoo! photos. i was quite perplexed by this! Why in the hell would I want to transfer my Yahoo! Photos?! I am not a regular user of Multiply and I can't even remember the last time I logged in there, it's been ages and eons ago.

Making a quick search on Google, I got the answer to my question. Yahoo! Photos is shutting down its photo service and concentrating more on Flickr. By the Fall of this year, it should close down. Yahoo! Photos subscribers are encouraged to shift their photos to other photo sharing services such as Flickr, Kodak Gallery, Photobucket and Shutterfly. Or they can download their photos, one by one as Yahoo! does not support more-than-one transfer at a time! The option of ordering a CD archive of your photos is also available.

This is a real pain after having spent so many years hosting my photos on Yahoo! Photos. And the options and tools it provided were just perfect. I went through some of the other providers and they are not as handy as Y!P is when it comes to uploading photos, you have to upload them manually one by one. Only Kodak Gallery I know has an uploading tool, which can be integrated with Mozilla Firefox.

Check out your options now, so that when the time for the transition comes, you know where to go with your photos!

Check out CNET's reviews of Photo Sharing Services.


You can also sign-in to your Yahoo! Photos account to learn more about the issue.
