'Avatar' Filem Yang Hampir Sempurna Dan Wajib Ditonton!

PLOT cerita bermula pada tahun 2154. Bekas anggota marin Amerika, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) yang lumpuh kakinya akibat perang terpilih dalam program Avatar, program pembuatan makhluk yang mirip dengan suku Na'vi.

Jake terdesak mengikuti program avatar kerana program ini memungkin dia berjalan lagi. Justru, Jake menjalani operasi dihantar menjadi avatar agar menyerupai makhluk penghuni Pandora.


Jake perlu berubah menjadi avatar, kerana suku Na’vi, makhluk hidup yang mirip dan memiliki kemampuan seperti manusia. Namun kehidupan kaum Na'vi masih primitif dan tak suka manusia masuki planetnya.

Maka diciptakanlah avatar. Avatar ini ibarat sebuah robot, yang dikendalikan melalui transformasi otak manusia dan dialihkan ke avatar pilihannya.

Jake terpilih menjadi sukarelawan pengendali avatar. Dengan menggunakan avatar saudara kembarnya, Thomas Sully yang sudah terkorban, Jake terpilih untuk misi mempelajari dunia Pandora.
Bagi Jake, inilah saatnya memulai kehidupan baru. Dengan avatar yang dikendalikannya, Jake kembali menjadi dirinya, lelaki sejati tanpa dibatasi kelemahan fisiknya.

Avatar Jake dikirim ke Planet Pandora, tempat suku Na'vi tinggal, untuk mendapatkan mineral Unobtainium yang amat berharga bagi manusia. Inilah alasan utama kenapa manusia ingin menakluki Pandora.

Sebuah program dibentuk dan sukarelawan dikumpulkan. Tujuannya untuk mengenal lebih dekat negeri Pandora yang kaya raya. Namun, tidak mudah bagi manusia memasuki dunia Pandora kerana susuk tubuh manusia tidak diterima oleh golongan Na'vi sebagai penduduk Pandora.


Jake akhirnya menuju Pandora, planet subur yang wilayahnya terbagi kepada dua bahagian - bahagian indah dan satu lagi sangat menakutkan. Sesampainya di sana, Jack tergamam melihat keindahan dan juga bahaya yang boleh mendatang maut bila-bila saja.

Tapi misi Jake menjadi sukar apabila dia jatuh cinta dengan Neytiri, anak perempuan Raja Omaticaya, yang mengajar Jake berbagai kepakaran memburu dan kehidupan bangsa Na'vi.

Kerana cinta pada Neytiri juga, Jake tersepit di antara cinta atau misi menyelamatkan bumi?
Jake belajar berbagai macam hal yang menakjubkan dari kebudayaan bangsa Na'vi dan kemahiran berlawan ala kaum Na'vi di hutan pandora.

Semakin lama Jake bergaul dengan puak Na’vi, semakin dalam cinta Jack pada Neytiri dan kaumnya.
Rasa cinta itu lah yang membuat Jake tersepit di antara dua pilihan: memenuhi tuntutan misi menyelamatkan bumi atau cintanya terhadap Neytiri dan mempertahankan suku Na’vi.

Pengarah James Cameron mempunyai daya kreatif dan imaginasi yang luar biasa. Setelah filem Titanic yang layak berada dalam kelompok filem lagenda itu, Cameron sekali lagi kembali dengan filem 'Avatar', sebuah karya masterpiece.

Negeri Pandora, sebuah negeri yang indah dan tidak terbayangkan oleh akal biasa. Di sinilah keluar biasaan imaginasi James Cameron memacu terus filem 'Avatar.'


Uniknya, puak Na'vi bukan kelompok manusia biasa. Mereka merupakan cantuman antara manusia dan kucing: berekor panjang, kuping runcing, tetapi tak berbulu dan kulit mereka berwarna biru. Ketinggian mereka lebih tinggi dari manusia.

Jake benar-benar menemui dunia baru yang indah dan eksotis di dunia Pandora.

Penjelajahan Jake di negeri Pandora adalah titik tolak mengagumkan bagi penonton. James Cameron amat bijaksana kerana berjaya membuat penonton terpesona. Bukan mudah untuk membuat penonton terpaku selama 2 jam. Durasi yang panjang bagi sebuah filem Inggeris.

Karya unggul ini mendatangkan kepuasan dari berbagai sudut. Pesona menonton 'Avatar' seperti kita sendiri berjaya menjejaki dunia indah Pandora yang penuh eksotik.

Bukan saja alam Pandora itu baru bagi Jake tapi amat luar biasa bagi para penonton juga. Hebat dan sungguh mengagumkan!

Setiap adegan terasa begitu indah, tanpa batas. Perjalanan Jake seolah-olah perjalanan penonton juga. Adegan demi adegan penuh debaran, keterujaan dan kekaguman terutama ketika melihat Jake terjun dari jurang, berpacu menunggangi Banshee, burung naga yang mempunyai kekuatan kuda liar yang luar biasa, sehingga pertarungan dengan binatang buas di Pandora yang rupanya dasyat dan tidak tergambarkan.

Aksi, drama dan geraf emosi yang dibawa Cameron dalam filem ini cukup dengan rempah ratusnya. Begitu juga dengan elemen cinta yang diselitkan dan diwarnai begitu manis sekali.

Dan di akhir cerita, Jake terpaksa membuat pilihan untuk memilih dunia baru sebagai avatar, atau menjadi manusia sejati?

Pilihan yang sulit bagi Jake tetapi terbukti happy ending ini yang dimahukan penonton.

Pelakon: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore

Sure-fire sex foods


Think you know what foods turn someone on? Do you keep a pantry full of love potions and shop for a list of foods for love which are supposedly sure to work?

Check out this list of alleged natural aphrodisiacs and see if you can tell the love potions from the love poisons.

Oysters
Oysters are a favourite among erotic foods and research now shows this shellfish to be a rich source of zinc – a mineral required for the production of testosterone. Not only the hormone behind the male sex drive, testosterone is believed to stimulate the female libido as well.

Chillies
A chilli's heat comes from "capsaicin," a chemical that stimulates our nerve endings, raising our pulse and making us sweat. Some researchers believe that eating hot foods also triggers the release of endorphins, body chemicals that gives us a natural high that is conducive to love-making.

Chocolate
In addition to the sensuous texture of melted chocolate, this quintessential lovers' gift contains a stimulant called phenylethylamine, considered by some researchers as the "love chemical" as it gives you a feeling of wellbeing and excitement that is very similar to the endorphins giving us a natural high.

Wild yam
Wild yam has a traditional use as an aphrodisiac and chemical analysis shows that it contains chemicals that can increase sensitivity in the genitals. It also has a reputation for inducing erotic dreams, when drunk at bedtime, although it has not been proven in clinical trials.

Ginkgo
Ginkgo is commonly used for age-related memory loss, but some have had success using it to treat sexual dysfunction; possibly by stimulating the release of nitric oxide, widening blood vessels of the genitals and erectile tissue. Ginkgo shouldn't be taken with blood-thinning drugs or by people with heart disease.

Asparagus
Many foods thought to be aphrodisiacs were considered so because of their phallic shape. Asparagus however, has more than suggestive form. It is rich in vitamin E, a vitamin considered to stimulate production of our sex hormones and may be essential for a healthy sex life.

Banana
Due not only to its shape, but also its creamy, lush texture, some studies show its enzyme bromelain enhances male performance.

Caviar
It is high in zinc, which stimulates the formation of testosterone, maintaining male functionality.

Spanish fly
One of the most notorious of the modern love potions, Spanish Fly is actually quite dangerous. Made from the dried body of a special beetle, it irritates the urinary tract, sending a rush of blood to the genitals.

Champagne
Viewed as the "drink of love," moderate quantities lower inhibitions and cause a warm glow in the body.

Figs
Seasonal crops were celebrated by ancient Greeks in a frenzied copulation ritual.

Yohimbine
Yohimbine, extracted from Yohimbine bark, can facilitate erections by stimulating the nervous system and increasing blood flow to the penis. But it is not for everyone. Common side effects include increased heart rate, raised blood

Woman 'dies' for four minutes during childbirth

Tracy Hermanstorfer kisses her newborn son, Coltyn.
Tracy Hermanstorfer kisses her newborn son, Coltyn.
Mike Hermanstorfer was clutching his pregnant wife's hand in a Colorado hospital on Christmas Eve when she stopped breathing, her life apparently slipping away.

Then he cradled his newborn son's limp body seconds after a medical team delivered the baby by Cesarean section.
Minutes later he saw his son show signs of life in his arms under the feverish attention of doctors, and soon he learned his wife had inexplicably started breathing again.

"My legs went out from underneath me," Hermanstorfer said Tuesday. "I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me."

Hermanstorfer's wife, Tracy, went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during labor on Thursday, said Dr. Stephanie Martin, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where the Hermanstorfers had gone for the birth of their son.

"She had no signs of life. No heartbeat, no blood pressure, she wasn't breathing," said Martin, who had rushed to Hermanstorfer's room to help. "The baby was, it was basically limp, with a very slow heart rate."

After their miraculous recovery, both mother and the baby, named Coltyn, appear healthy with no signs of problems, Martin said.

She said she cannot explain the mother's cardiac arrest or the recovery.

"We did a thorough evaluation and can't find anything that explains why this happened," she said.
Mike Hermanstorfer credits "the hand of God."

"We are both believers ... but this right here, even a nonbeliever - you explain to me how this happened. There is no other explanation," he said.

Asked about divine intervention, Martin said, "Wherever I can get the help, I'll take it."

Tracy Hermanstorfer, 33, was getting prepped for childbirth at the hospital Thursday morning and her 37-year-old husband was by her side when she began to feel sleepy and laid back in her bed.

"She literally stopped breathing and her heart stopped," her husband said. Pandemonium erupted as doctors and nurses tried to revive her with chest compressions and a breathing tube, but nothing worked.

"I was holding her hand when we realized she was gone," Hermanstorfer said. "My entire life just rolled out."

Doctors told him, "We're going to take your son out now. We have been unable to revive her and we're going to take your son out," he recalled.

After the Cesarean section, some of the team rushed his wife to the operating room while the others attended to Coltyn.

"They hand him to me, he's absolutely lifeless," Hermanstorfer said. The doctors went to work on Coltyn as Hermanstorfer held him, and soon he began to breath.

"His life began in my hands," Hermanstorfer said. "That's a feeling like none other. Life actually began in the palm of my hands."

Martin said Tracy Hermanstorfer's pulse returned even before she was wheeled out of the room and into surgery. She estimates Hermanstorfer had no heartbeat for about four minutes.

Hermanstorfer remembers getting sleepy and closing her eyes in her hospital bed, then awakening in the intensive care unit.

Friends have asked if she saw a light or had other experiences described by others who have survived near-death experiences, but she didn't.

"I just felt like I was asleep," she said.

When doctors told her what happened, "I'm like, 'Holy cow, was it that bad? Wow."'

The Hermanstorfers returned Monday to their home in Security, just outside Colorado Springs, south of Denver.

Both Mike and Tracy Hermanstorfer worry that she might have a recurrence. Martin said she can't offer the Hermanstorfers much advice because she doesn't know what caused the original problem.

On Tuesday, the couple celebrated a delayed Christmas with their 3-year-old son Kanyen and Tracy Hermanstorfer's 11-year-old son, Austin, from her previous marriage.

She plans to tell Coltyn about his birth when he's old enough to understand.

"I'll tell him everything ... that he's my miracle baby. That he had a tough time coming into this world, that he's my miracle baby and he's still here with us," she said.

She said Austin is worried and confused but the experience is improving his already-close relationship with Mike Hermanstorfer, his stepfather.

Kanyen doesn't understand much except that doctors had to work on his mom in the hospital, she said. His reaction was, "OK, we got the baby, let's go home now." - AP

"Saya bukan ditangkap kerana dadah." - Qi (blogger boy)

Gosip yang mengatakan Qi atau Qushairi Razali yang lebih dikenali menerusi rancangan 'Destinasi Bajet' dan siri 'Blogger Boy' di 8TV, turut sama ditahan polis dalam serbuan di Rootz Club bersama² dengan Awal Ashaari & Scha, adalah benar.

"Saya bukan ditangkap kerana dadah. Saya juga tidak mengambil dadah dan tidak dimasukkan ke dalam penjara seperti yang didakwa," ujar Qi, yang juga adik Shahrin Blackrose.

Qi mengaku ditahan polis dan menjalani ujian air kencing dan kemudian dia dibebaskan. Apabila ditanya apakah keputusan ujian air kecing tersebut. Adakah positif atau negatif. Ini jawab Qi,

"Sebelum saya beri apa-apa komen, lebih baik kita tunggu surat daripada pihak polis. Apa yang saya boleh katakan, saya tidak mengambil apa-apa ubat selain ubat doktor," jelasnya lagi.

Qi menegaskan cerita dia positif dadah tersebar disebabkan oleh salah faham. Dia ke pusat hiburan itu untuk meraikan Hari Jadi rakannya yang baru datang dari United Kingdom. Sambut hari jadi jugak, sama cam Scha.

"Saya baru sampai dalam 10 minit di pusat hiburan itu iaitu dalam pukul 2.45 pagi. Apabila serbuan dibuat, saya tidak membantah selepas diminta membuat ujian air kencing.

"Dalam masa yang sama, saya turut merasa risau juga kerana tidak tahu apa yang akan berlaku selepas ini," ceritanya.

"Saya rasa perkara ini sensitif dan tak nak beritahu lebih-lebih sebab ia boleh memberikan kesan kepada keseluruhan karier saya. Saya berjanji akan ceritakan apa yang berlaku sebenarnya nanti," beritahunya lagi dalam nada tenang.

Antara kesamaan dalam cerita Qi dan Scha, diorang datang ke situ tuk menyambut hari jadi kawan mereka. Dan aku juga baru tau, rupanya Qi tu adik kepada Shahrin Backrose dan (bekas) adik ipar Ida Nerina.

'I am Kelantan Sultan's second wife'

Sultan of Kelantan
KUALA LUMPUR: One of the two women brought into the royal suite at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore is the second wife of the Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Ismail Petra, it has been revealed.

A source close to the Kelantan palace confirmed this morning that the Sultan's second wife and her personal assistant had visited the ailing ruler.

The clarification quells suggestions of hanky-panky as a bodyguard of the Kelantan Raja Perempuan, Mohd Fadzli Awang, had alleged in his police report that the unknown women were sneaked into the ward after the video surveillance camera was covered with newspaper.

He had claimed that a bodyguard had brought the women before leaving the royal suite.

Mohd Fadzli had claimed that the same guard had returned with two men, one believed to be a Malaysian police inspector. The guard and the police officer, he had claimed in his report, waited outside the ward.

“The parties concerned then left the ward about two hours later. It is unknown what their intention was by coming to the ward at that hour,” he had claimed.

Mohd Fadzli Awang had also said the Sultan’s third son, Tengku  Temenggong Tengku Muhammad Fakhry, had ordered him to lodge a report for police to investigate and take appropriate action against the intruders.

The clarification on the women's status came after a Press statement, allegedly from the Sultan's second wife, was circulated via e-mail to the media, including The Malay Mail, this morning.

In the statement, accompanied by copies of the marriage certificate and marriage card, the sender claiming to be the Sultan's second wife claimed that she had decided to clear the air after allegations of hanky-panky had surfaced from her visit.

The email sender, known as Elia Suhana Ahmad, claimed that only a handful were privy about the marriage between her and Sultan Ismail.

She claimed that her wedding had been witnessed by family members as well as Kelantan's State officials on Dec 23, 2007. A picture of her, the Sultan and an elderly couple also accompanied her email.

Elia claimed that the earlier reports had taken a negative slant and she was obliged to clarify the issue to ensure that the Kelantan monarch would not be mocked and the role of the police not misunderstood.

It had been reported that a royal guard had allegedly brought in two unknown women at 4.20am on Oct 8.

It had also been reported that some 20 royal guards, allegedly police personnel, had also besieged the ward and insulted the Raja Perempuan Kelantan, Tengku Anis Tengku Abdul Hamid.

lt was learnt that personal security officers of the Raja Perempuan had lodged five reports of alleged misconduct by Kelantan police personnel between October and November at the hospital.

Kelantan police chief SAC 1 Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi had declined comment since the police report was lodged in Singapore.

Gemballa’s Stormtrooper inspired Ferrari Enzo


German tuner Gemballa, which is famous for its work on Porsches, has dabbled into the world of molesting Ferraris – and they aimed for the best. This Enzo you see here is called the Gemballa MIG-U1 (sounds more like a Russian fighter jet) which should be a privately-commissioned one-off model favoured by the mega rich when a standard supercar (even if it’s the Enzo) is not exclusive enough.

Details of the MIG-U1 flows out from the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group, a conglomerate that runs several automotive companies, among other businesses from their HQ in Dubai. They claim the Enzo has a brand new exhaust system, freshly sculptured rear bumper and wing, new side sills, and fierce front bumper. As with Gemballa’s Porsches, the MIG-U1 comes with a roof-mounted air intake. Interior mods include quilted upholstery, dual-tone floor mats, and a LCD screen.
If I was a Stormtrooper, I’d gather my mates to petition Darth Vader to make this the official company car!

Tanda taubat diterima Allah


1-bagi hamba-hamba yang bertaubat itu bila merasakan di dalam dirinya masih ada dosa-dosa yang masih beum terhakis.

2- hatinya lebih tenteram dan suka mendekati orang-orang yang soleh dari mendekati mereka-mereka yang fasik

3- bila ia merasakan di dalam dirinya telah hilang perasaan gembira,sebaliknya sentiasa datang perasaan sedih kerana takutkan azab allah

4-sungguhpun sedikit rezeki yang ia dapat di dunia ini namun ia tetap melihat banyak,tetapi walaupun banyak amalan untuk akhirat yang telah di kerjakannya namun ia tetap merasa sedikit

5-bila ia melihat pada dirinya yang sentiasa sibuk dengan menunaikan kewajipan terhadap allah sebaliknya sedikitpun ia tidak sibuk menguruskan rezekinya yang telah di jamin oleh allah

6-bila ia melihat pada dirinya yang sentiasa menjaga lidah dan ucapannya,sering bertafakur dan selalu berada di dalam keadaan sedih dan menyesal wasssalam…
