Tsunami




Human beings just trying to, but God decides. Many events are beyond the human mind today as a result of the disaster or human activity itself. This proves the Lord gave a warning to the creatures of the earth in order to maintain balance in life. In other words we must maintain and preserve the contents of this earth, maintaining good relations between the creatures of the earth, man and God

We still remember the Tsunami incident in 2004. Where is the worst affected are in Aceh. Banda Aceh is the capital of Aceh province today, the building destroyed by an earthquake measuring 8.9 Righter scale. Followed by a tsunami. The sea rose kedaratan and destroyed all the contents of the city, both in Banda Aceh and surrounding areas.

Humans finally realized with the greedy behavior, not satisfied what he had accomplished. Just think of the interests of the world and forget the final goal, namely the Hereafter.

But behind all that, we are grateful that God has reminded us of his will power. In other words, as time went on humans also think of what he had done, whether in accordance with good cause or not.

Supplements and Vitamins

In everyday life we need a healthy mind. to support it, it would be better than breakfast, we can consume supplements or vitamins. So that our activities can be going according to plan.

Many types of supplements or vitamins that we can consume our activities for smooth day-to-day. RutinBioflavonoid (Vit C) KFaktor factor JFaktor
PTyrosinaseAscorbinogenAscorbic Acid
When we consume only the ascorbic acid our bodies will look for
Other partners such as listed above reply in our body tissues to
can take advantage of what we consume. But when our bodies
not have enough reserves the ascorbic acid will be thrown out of
body so that the practical benefits that you gain will decrease.

Comparison between the use of multi-vitamins & minerals compared with
pharmaceutical drugs

You could say almost not be compared because each has
purpose of using different but if we compare them side by side
effect, well clear that the use of pharmaceutical drugs has a more 'tangible
side effect 'compared to the multi-vitamins & minerals.

For long-term use is a multi-vitamin & mineral can be dangerous.

I hope the reader is able to answer them after reading the writing
above. During use is still within the recommended dose will usually be
safe, unless we consume in MEGA doses, but not necessarily effective
if partner requisite to be processed together is not present
in your body.

Except for the category of vitamins A, D, E, K. This vitamin is categorized
'fat soluble' that is stored in the body and unlike other vitamins
influent category 'water soluble' so that the excess will be excreted through
urine. But if you do not take Mega dosage and still within the limits
recommendations, you do not need to worry.

If for pharmaceutical drugs, you can check their own benefits and side
effect of each drug on-line or to a store that sells books
book drug list (MIM's, etc.)

For a discussion of Fe (iron) is not included in the category of vitamins
but falls into the category of minerals. This Fe can not be less or more because
if not you will get symptoms of anemia, but if more would spoil
heart. So everything is there in size. and Fe supplements were not common
consumed except for pregnant women or those who are anemic.

For vitamin E which has the effect of blood dilution, of course if you want the
consumption together with blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin, Coumadin, etc.
have to be careful so that your blood does not become too watery which then
increase the risk of bleeding is difficult to stop but for a normal
the use of vitamin E ebesar 200 to 400 IU, I've never heard of lead
trouble. Especially if it is consumed yg yg vitamin E alpha d abortion
Tocopherol ... toss-absorbed, about 50% of.

Hopefully this info can get rid of the existing concerns. Actually
there is one recipe that will make us always had protection and not
oscillate. This is one I wrote to do in each section

Prices also vary from the racket of cheap to expensive, but do not forget this phrase, "prices will not lie." Although it does not apply to barang2 second.

Roddick One Away From Title


The BNP Paribas Open had long been a blemish on Andy Roddick’s impressive North American resume. The World No. 8 had played in 14 different North American ATP World tournaments during his career and reached the final in each of them – with the exception of Indian Wells and the now-defunct Scottsdale event.

After three semi-final finishes, the top American finally went one better at the year’s first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tennis tournament, defeating World No. 7 Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 on Saturday afternoon to be among the last two players standing on the final Sunday.

“This is probably the only real big tournament in North America that I haven't won, so I definitely would love to win it,” said the 27 year old, who has won four titles in seven finals at the three other ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events on North American soil.

Roddick and Soderling had each entered the semi-final match without dropping a set at the 2010 BNP Paribas Open, and the American needed just one break of serve to take the opening set. He went up an early service break in the second, only to see Soderling come back to win six of the final seven games.

Despite his surge to close the second set, Soderling admitted afterwards: “I felt I was still waiting for my best tennis. We played two sets and the conditions were a little bit tough. I felt that I was playing a little bit better at the end of the second set, but then he broke me. It wasn't the greatest match, but I tried everything. He came up with some good shots at the end.”

The third set began in similar fashion to the second, with Soderling erasing his opponent’s 2-0 lead, but Roddick grabbed the winning break in the sixth game before proceeding to close out the match on serve.

“I knew I was returning real well, so I thought this might be the rare occasion where that would be the thing that won it for me,” said Roddick. “I think ultimately the fact that I put a lot of pressure on his service games ended up helping. I normally don't need two breaks to win a set, but today I did.”

With Ivan Ljubicic prevailing in a third-set tie-break against defending champion Rafael Nadal earlier in the day, it marked the first time since 1984 that both semi-final matches had gone to three sets.

Roddick, who leads the 31-year-old Croatian 7-3 in the head-to-head series, said about his opponent’s performance against Nadal: “He did a great job of serving big points today. It seemed like he came up with a big serve every time. It felt like Rafa was controlling the rallies once he got back to neutral, but he was having trouble getting it back to neutral. It's gonna be a challenge to do that also for me. It's just gonna be a matter of who can convert their chances.”

Roddick is attempting to become the first American male to win the BNP Paribas Open title since Andre Agassi defeated Pete Sampras in the 2001 final. His coach, Larry Stefanki, also captured the title in nearby La Quinta in February 1985 (d. Pate).

The Austin, Texas, improves to a circuit-best 20-3 mark following Saturday’s win. Roddick will be contesting his third final of the season, after winning in Brisbane (d. Stepanek) and finishing runner-up in San Jose (l. to Verdasco). Of Roddick’s 28 tour-level titles, 18 have come in North America.


Lopez-Nadal Upset Top Seeds To Take Doubles Title


Rafael Nadal helped ease the disappointment of losing in the singles semi-finals earlier on Saturday (falling to Ivan Ljubicic) by teaming with fellow Spaniard Marc Lopez to take the BNP Paribas Open doubles championship.

A wild card team into this ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event, Lopez-Nadal dropped just one set en route to their second title together, in their first-round upset of No. 3 seeds Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes.

In Saturday's final they defeated No. 1 seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic, 7-6(8), 6-3. Both teams dropped serve once in the first set but Lopez-Nadal didn't offer their higher-ranked opponents a single break point in the second set, securing the title in one hour, 35 minutes.

"For me it's a pleasure to play with Marc," said Nadal. "He's a very close friend of mine, and we do really well. After losing important singles, the victory in doubles makes me happy. Always is nice to win a tournament.

"We never thought about winning the tournament here, so we're very happy for that. We enjoying a lot playing together."

Coincidentally, Lopez-Nadal beat the Canadian-Serbian duo to win their first title as a team, in Doha in 2009. Nestor and Zimonjic were also runners-up in Indian Wells in 2007, although Nestor won this event four times with Mark Knowles.

This is Nadal's sixth ATP World Tour doubles title and second at Masters 1000 level (also Monte Carlo in 2008 with Tommy Robredo). Lopez has won both of his career doubles titles with Nadal; the compatriots were playing as a team for only the fifth time.

"It's an amazing week and my second time here," said Lopez. "It's a pleasure to play with Rafa; he's my friend. I always play Challengers so this is very big for me. It's unbelievable. Every match is important and beating [Nestor-Zimonjic] for the second time is great."

Lopez-Nadal split the first prize of $198,400 (each earn 1000 ATP Doubles Ranking points) while runners-up Nestor-Zimonjic share $96,820 (and each receive 600 points).
