Breast Enlargement Implant Dangers

3% suffer leakage within three years causing a deflated implant

Occasionally, breast implants may break or leak. The saline fill is salt water and will be absorbed by the body without ill effects. Older implants with silicone gel can leak also. If this occurs, one of two things may occur. If breakage of the implant shell that has a contracture scar around it, then it may not feel like anything has happed. If the shell breaks and there is not a contracture scar, then leakage into the surrounding tissue results in a sensation that the implant is deflating. The leaking gel may collect in the breast and a new scar may form around it. In other cases gel can migrate through the lymphatic system to another area of the body. Breaks may require a second operation and replacement of the leaking implant. If the gel has migrated it may not be possible to remove all of the silicone gel. This silicone gel is the what some say is related to the initiation of connective tissue disorders.

One study they reviewed showed that 63.6% of breast implants which had been in place for between one and 25 years had ruptured or were leaking. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/33450.stm)

For silicone gel and saline-filled implants, some causes of rupture or deflation include : damage by surgical instruments during surgery, overfilling or underfilling of the implant with saline solution (specific only to saline-filled breast implants), capsular contracture ,closed capsulotomy , stresses such as trauma or intense physical manipulation ,excessive compression during mammographic imaging, placement through umbilical incision ,site injury to the breast, normal aging of the implant ,unknown/unexplained reasons.

Nail Fungus Infections: A General Overview –Part 1Are you thinking you might have an infection of the nails? It is possible. But don’t conclude until you are done reading these series on the general overview of nail fungus infections. In these series, you’ll learn what nail fungus infection is, what causes it, its cure and treatment and preventive measures. Nail fungus also referred to as Onychomycosis is caused by tiny fungus organisms that can be easily contracted anywhere. If you’ve got it, be rest assured that you are not the only person having this same dilemma as estimates have shown that over two million people in Canada have it while over 10 million people have it in the United States.Nail fungus infections are really hard to spot earlier on. They only become obvious when they are fully established under the nails. Then they appear as a yellow spot which gradually spreads until it infects all parts of the nail and further spreads to all the other toe and finger nails. It is very easy for the fungus to survive in the nails because it is a very habitable environment for it to grow in. This is because most people wear covered and shoes that are not aerated. As they grow in warm moist dark environment, which sure provides the optimum breeding condition for them.Please note that nail fungus infections are infectious and can spread from one person to the other. The ways you can contact them from other people is when you share the same bathrooms as in public shower stalls, locker rooms and bathrooms. These places are usually moist and people who have them can walk around barefooted. The fungus which gets deposited on the floor as they walk around gets picked up by those who did not have them previously just by walking across the floor. It is also contractible from nail files and emery boards. It is the reason it is not good hygiene practice to share your nail files with other people as you can never tell what they carry on their nails particularly when it isn’t obvious yet. It is also advisable that you not walk around in bare foot in public bathrooms, shower stalls and locker rooms. Get a flip flop that you can wear when you are going to places like that. However, if it is late and you are sure you have already contacted it, you might want to start treating immediately.For more information visit: website click here http://ping.fm/TkEZs

How to Pick a Movie Download Site

2010-12-15T00:14:00.000+07:00

Heard of movie downloading? Course you have-hasn’t everyone? The problem is, few people know exactly how it works, or how to find the right movie download site. If you are sick of paying in exorbitant prices for theater admission, or expensive movie club prices; you need to get into movie downloading. With this in mind, ensure you approach the home theater experience correctly. To avoid bad quality movies, movie restrictions, and high movie download prices-here’s how to pick the right movie download site.

There are a number of things that you should expect from a movie download site, as there are hundreds of movie download sites out there, offering less than the perfect at home theater experience. That doesn’t mean you need to pay a fortune for one time or lesser quality viewing, because you don’t and you shouldn’t have to. Here’s what you should expect from your movie download site:

* No P2P or file sharing is involved ever, they are a 100% legal movie provider.
* Unlimited Viewing: The download site that you choose for watching your movies at home or from your laptop should offer unlimited viewing-meaning no restrictions on which movies you watch, when, or how often. FullMovies.com offers their full movie title inventory for unlimited viewing, and for the life of the viewer. Once you download a movie from FullMovies.com, it’s yours to watch forever.
* Instantaneous Downloads: In a digital movie download site, you should also expect that your downloads do not take a long time. FullMovies.com offers instantaneous downloads to watch as soon as you download..which takes a matter of seconds.
* Full Movie Downloads: Moreover, when you choose a movie download site, you need to ensure that what you are downloading is the full movie version. Many download sites offer you downloads for free or membership rates, but make you download the media content in sections-making your movie download experience inconvenient to say the least. FullMovies.com offers full movie downloads in seconds time with good quality.

In summation, you need full movie downloads, do it in a 100% legal way, unrestricted and lifetime access, quality movie content, all available on your computer or tv-instantly. The only available answer: FullMovies.com.

The Linus Pauling Institute of Oregon State University reports that Resveratrol has been found to improve cardiovascular performance(1)and is known to be a metal chelator, which prevents the absorption of copper (copper deficiency is a potential cause of heart failure). Reservatrol's high antioxidant properties may also help maintain the heart's oxygen supply, prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries and stop the constriction of blood vessels. According to the Mayo Clinic, Resveratrol has also been found to neutralize "bad" LDL cholesterol while increasing "good" HDL cholesterols, dramatically lowering the risk of artery blockage and heart attacks(2).

Cancer Prevention

A close second to Heart Disease as a leading cause of death, Cancer is speculated to be the number-one cause of death worldwide by 2010. However, in a series of studies reviewed by the National Institute of Health, leading researchers found that Resveratrol inhibits the growth of many types of cancer cells, including leukemia, skin and prostate cancers, and reduces the incidence of tumors(3). As a natural selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), Resveratrol has the potential to act as an alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapy, which is known to increase the risk of breast cancer(4).

Resveratrol has also been found to reduce the activation of NF kappa B, a protein produced by a compromised immune system that can affect the growth of cancer cells(5).

Weight Loss

These days, more people than not are fighting the battle of the bulge. One of the body's responses to dieting is to activate the SiRT1 gene, which breaks down stored fat and increases energy levels. A study done at the University of Wisconsin found Resveratrol to have the same effect on SiRT1 without the dramatic calorie cuts(6). Including Resveratrol as a supplement to a healthy food plan may promote weight loss without sacrificing the foods you enjoy. Weight loss and calorie restriction have also been proven as the most effective anti-aging regimen, meaning that those who take Resveratrol may look fitter and feel younger.

Lowered Blood Sugar

According to the American Diabetes Association, 7.8% of Americans have Diabetes, a dysfunction in regulating blood sugar levels. Many others suffer from hypo- or hyperglycemia, both of which also involve irregular blood sugar. A new study suggests that the Resveratrol can affect the enzymes involved in regulating glucose (blood sugar), and may be a key factor in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels(7). The same study also found that Resveratrol was able to normalize the level of enzymes in liver and kidney tissues that were lowered as a result of Diabetes. Scientists at the Peninsula Medical School in England also discovered that Resveratrol offers protection to blood vessels against cellular damage as the result of high glucose levels associated with Diabetes(8). Researchers are confident that Resveratrol has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of Diabetes in years to come.

Boosted Immune System

International medical guru Dr. Mehmet Oz encourages his followers to include Resveratrol as a part of their daily regimen, due to its ability to slow down aging of the immune system. A healthy immune system offers protection from a variety of diseases and infections, resulting in increased energy and a longer, happier life.

Extended Life Span

Since 2003, the Extended Life Foundation has conducted research on the effects of Resveratrol on life extension and disease prevention. From the beginning, Resveratrol was found to extend the life span of certain cells up to 70% and the results have been constant to date(9). Its ability to mimic the effects of calorie restriction, to boost the immune system and prevent a variety of diseases are all indicators that Resveratrol may do much to increase life span and quality of life.

Nah, sekarang saya sedang mengupdate blog dengan rada aneh.
Hal tanaman buah belimbing yang tidak mau berbuah. Awalnya saya iseng membuang kotoran kura-kura bersama airnya (brazilian turtle) ke tanaman belimbing yang ada di taman yang berukuran 30 cm setiap hari. Setelah seminggu kemudian tanaman tersebut mengalami kemajuan dengan tumbuhnya bunga cikal berbuah. Wah senangnya diriku karena sebelumnya sering dikasih pupuk kandang,pupuk buah tidak juga berbuah.
Selanjutnya seringkali saya membuang air kotoran kura-kura ke seluruh tanaman yang kurang subur menurut pengamatan.
Nah para pembaca, bisa mengambil manfaat dari blog ini.

Teladan Pejuang yang Sabar

2009-08-08T12:33:00.002+07:00

Para imam Ahlulbait as adalah manusia-manusia pilihan. Mereka dipilih oleh Allah Swt untuk membimbing masyarakat secara benar dan menjadi contoh yang paling unggul dalam mencapai derajat kemanusiaan dan kemuliaan akhlak.

Ibrahim bin Abbas mengatakan, “Aku tidak pernah mendengar Abal Hasan (Imam Ali) Ar-Ridha as mengatakan sesuatu yang merusak kehormatan seseorang, juga tidak pernah memotong pembicaraan seseorang hingga orang itu menuntaskannya, dan tidak pernah menolak permintaan seseorang tatkala mampu membantunya. Beliau tidak pernah menjulurkan kakinya ke tengah majelis. Aku tidak pernah melihatnya meludah, tidak pernah terbahak-bahak ketika tertawa, karena tawanya adalah senyum. Di waktu-waktu senggang, beliau menghamparkan suprah dan duduk bersama para pembantu, mulai dari penjaga pintu sampai pejabat pemerintah. Dan barangsiapa yang mengaku pernah melihat keluhuran budi pekerti seseorang seperti beliau pada masanya, maka janganlah engkau percaya.”

Hari Lahir

Imam Ali Ridha as lahir pada 11 Dzulqaidah 148 H di Madinah. Ayah beliau adalah Imam Musa Kazhim as, dan ibunya seorang perempuan mukmin nan saleh bernama Najmah. Imam Ali Ridha menghabiskan masa kanak-kanaknya di sisi sang ayah.

Imam Musa as berwasiat dan memberi isyarat kepada sahabat-sahabatnya mengenai keimamahan putranya, Ali Ridha.

Ali bin Yaqthin berkata, “Pernah aku bersama Abdus Saleh (salah satu gelar Imam Musa Kazhim), tiba-tiba datang Ali Ridha as. Lalu beliau (Imam Musa) berkata, ‘Wahai Ali bin Yaqthin, dialah penghulu anak-anakku.”

Hisyam menambahkan, “Sesungguhnya aku (Imam Musa Kazhim) beritakan kepadamu bahwa dia adalah Imam setelahku.”

Demikian pula salah seorang sahabatnya pernah bertanya tentang imam sepeninggalnya, maka Imam Musa as memberi isyarat kepada anaknya Ali Ridha sambil berkata, “Dialah Imam (pemimpin) setelahku.”

Pada masa itu, situasi amat mengkhawatirkan sehingga Imam Musa as berwasiat kepada para sahabatnya agar merahasiakan keimamahan putranya, Ali Ridha as.

Budi Pekerti yang Agung

Seorang laki-laki menyertai Imam Ridha dalam perjalanannya ke Khurasan. Imam mengajaknya duduk dalam sebuah jamuan makan. Beliau mengumpulkan para tuan dan budak untuk menyiapkan makanan dan duduk bersama. Orang itu lalu berkata, “Wahai putra Rasulullah, apakah engkau mengumpulkan mereka (tuan dan budak) dalam satu jamuan makan?”

“Sesungguhnya Allah Swt Esa, dan manusia lahir dari satu bapak dan satu ibu. Mereka berbeda-beda dalam amal perbuatan,” demikian jawab Imam as.

Salah seorang dari mereka berkata, “Demi Allah, tidak ada yang lebih mulia di muka bumi ini selain engkau, wahai Abal Hasan (panggilan Imam Ridha)!”

Imam menjawab, “Ketakwaanlah yang memuliakan mereka, wahai saudaraku!”

Salah seorang bersumpah dan berkata, “Demi Allah, engkau adalah sebaik-baik manusia.”

Imam menjawabnya, “Janganlah engkau bersumpah seperti itu sebab orang yang lebih baik daripadaku adalah yang lebih bertakwa kepada Allah. Demi Allah, Zat yang menorehkan ayat ini, Kami ciptakan kalian bersuku-suku dan berbangsa-bangsa untuk saling mengenal. Sesungguhnya orang yang paling mulia di antara kamu adalah orang yang paling bertakwa.”

Pernah suatu saat, Imam Ali Ridha as berbincang-bincang dengan masyarakat. Mereka bertanya tentang masalah-masalah hukum. Tiba-tiba masuk seorang warga Khurasan dan berkata, “Salam atasmu wahai putra Rasulullah! Aku adalah seorang pengagummu dan pecinta ayahmu serta para datukmu. Aku baru saja kembali dari haji dan aku kehilangan nafkah hidupku. Tak satu pun tersisa lagi padaku. Jika engkau sudi membantuku sampai di negeriku, sungguh besar nikmat Allah atasku, dan bila aku telah sampai, aku akan menginfakkan jumlah uang yang kauberikan kepadaku atas namamu karena aku tidak berhak menerima infak.”

Dengan nada lembut, Imam Ridha as berkata kepadanya, “Duduklah, semoga Allah mengasihanimu!”

Kemudian Imam melanjutkan perbincangannya dengan masyarakat sampai mereka bubar. Setelah itu, Imam bangkit dari duduknya dan masuk ke kamar. Tak lama kemudian, beliau mengeluarkan tangannya dari balik pintu sambil berkata, “Mana orang Khurasan itu?”

Orang Khurasan itu mendekat dan Imam berkata, “Ini dua ratus dinar, pergunakanlah untuk perjalananmu dan janganlah engkau menafkahkan hartamu atas nama kami.”

Orang Khurasan itu mengambilnya dengan penuh rasa syukur lalu meninggalkan Imam as.

Setelah itu, Imam keluar dari kamar. Salah seorang sahabat bertanya, “Kenapa engkau menyembunyikan wajahmu dari balik pintu wahai putra Rasulullah?”

Imam berkata, “Agar aku tidak melihat kehinaan pada raut wajah orang yang meminta. Tidakkah kau mendengar Rasulullah saw bersabda, ‘Berbuat baik dengan sembunyi-sembunyi akan memenuhi 70 kali haji, dan orang yang terang-terangan dalam berbuat jahat sungguh terhina, dan orang yang sembunyi dalam melakukannya akan diampuni.’”

Jangan Merasa Bangga!

Ahmad Bizanthi adalah salah seorang ulama terkemuka dan seringkali melakukan korespondensi dengan Imam Ali Ridha. Kemudian, ia mengakui kebenaran kedudukan Ali Ridha sebagai imam.

Bizanthi pernah menceritakan pengalamannya sebagai berikut:

Imam Ridha as memintaku datang menjumpainya dengan mengirimkan keledai kepadaku sebagai kendaraan. Sesampainya di sana, kami duduk dalam sebuah diskusi. Hingga tiba waktu ‘Isya, kami melaksanakan salat. Seusai salat, Imam meminta kepadaku untuk bermalam.

Aku menjawab, “Tidak, demi jiwaku yang menjadi tebusanmu, aku tidak membawa mantel (selimut) dan pakaian.”

Beliau berkata kepadaku, “Allah akan melewatkan malammu dalam keadaaan sehat dan kami akan tidur di atap rumah.”

Sementara Imam turun, aku berkata kepada diriku sendiri, “Sungguh aku telah mendapatkan kemulian dari Imam yang tidak kutemukan dari orang lain. Sungguh dulu aku telah tertipu oleh setan.”

Di waktu subuh, Imam membangunkanku sambil memegang tanganku. Kepadaku, beliau berkata, “Suatu hari, Amirul Mukminin Ali bin Abi Thalib as menengok Sa’sa’ah bin Sauhan yang tengah sakit. Ketika dia hendak bangun, Amirul Mukminin berkata kepadanya, “Wahai Sa’sa’ah, janganlah engkau merasa bangga terhadap saudara-saudaramu hanya karena aku menjengukmu.”

Seakan-akan Imam membaca apa yang terlintas dalam pikiran Bizanthi hingga menasehatinya dan mengingatkannya.

Nasihat untuk Saudara

Zaid adalah saudara Imam Ali Ridha as. Dia melakukan pemberontakan di kota Basrah dan membakari rumah orang-orang Abbasiyah, sehingga dia digelari dengan “Sang Api”.

Khalifah Makmun segera mengirim pasukan besar dan terjadilah pertempuran sengit. Di sana, Zaid menyerah dan meminta damai. Namun, akhirnya ia tertangkap dan dipenjara.

Makmun memutuskan untuk mengirimkan Zaid kepada Imam. Imam as tidak setuju dengan perbuatan saudaranya yang membakar rumah dan merampas harta benda rakyat tanpa hak.

Kepada saudaranya, Imam as berkata, “Duhai Zaid, apa yang membuat engkau tertipu hingga engkau menumpahkan darah dan merampok? Apakah kau tertipu oleh perkataan orang-orang Kufah, bahwa Fatimah as telah disucikan rahimnya sehingga Allah mengharamkan anak keturunannya dari api neraka? Celakalah kau Zaid! Sesungguhnya yang dimaksudkan Rasulullah saw dari perkataan itu bukanlah aku, bukan pula kau, tetapi Hasan dan Husain.

“Demi Allah, sesungguhnya keselamatan dari api neraka itu tidak akan didapati kecuali dengan ketaatan kepada Allah Swt. Apakah engkau mengira akan masuk surga dengan tetap bermaksiat kepada Allah? Kalau begitu, kau lebih besar daripada Allah dan daripada ayahmu, Musa bin Ja’far as!”

Zaid berkata, “Bukankah aku saudaramu?”

Imam menjawab, “Ya, kau saudaraku selama kau taat kepada Allah. Bagaimana Nabi Nuh as memohon, ‘Tuhanku, sesungguhnya anakku dari keluargaku dan janjimu pasti nyata dan engkau Maha Pengasih.’”

“Dan bagaimana Allah membalasnya, ‘Wahai Nuh! Sesungguhnya dia bukanlah dari keluargamu, karena dia bukan perbuatan saleh.’”

“Demi Allah wahai Zaid! Tidak seorang pun akan mendapatkan kedudukan di sisi Allah kecuali dengan ketaatan kepada-Nya.”

Di Naisyabur

Naisyabur merupakan salah satu kota tua dan pusat ilmu pengetahuan, lalu runtuh dan hancur ketika penyerangan bangsa Mongol.

Iring-iringan kafilah Imam Ali Ridha as dijemput oleh masyarakat di sana dengan penuh suka cita, sementara ratusan ulama dan pelajar berdiri paling depan.

Para ulama dan ahli hadis berkumpul di sekitar para pengiring Imam, sedang di tangan mereka buku dan alat tulis. Mereka menunggu Imam meriwayatkan hadis-hadis dari kakeknya Rasulullah saw, sampai-sampai di antara mereka ada yang memegang tali kekang tunggangan Imam dan berkata, “Demi kebenaran ayahmu yang suci, riwayatkanlah kepada kami hadis sehingga kami dapat mendapatkan ilmu darimu.”

Imam as berkata, “Aku mendengar ayahku Musa bin Ja’far mengatakan, ‘Aku mendengar Ayahku Ja’far bin Muhammad mengatakan, ‘Aku mendengar ayahku Muhammad bin Ali mengatakan, ‘Aku mendengar ayahku Ali bin Husain mengatakan, ‘Aku mendengar ayahku Husain bin Ali mengatakan, ‘Aku mendengar ayahku Ali bin Abi Thalib mengatakan, ‘Aku mendengar Rasulullah saw bersabda, ‘Aku mendengar Jibril berkata, ‘Aku mendengar Allah berfirman, ‘Kalimat La Ilaha illallah (tidak ada tuhan selain Allah) adalah bentengku, barangsiapa yang masuk ke dalam bentengku, niscaya ia terbebas dari azabku.’”

Hadis ini terkenal dengan Hadis Silsilah Dzahabiyyah (Untaian Emas). Sebanyak dua ribu perawi mencatat hadis ini.

Imam Ali Ridha as meninggalkan Naisyabur pada waktu pagi. Di tengah perjalanan, masuklah waktu zuhur. Imam as meminta air untuk berwudhu tetapi para pengikutnya sulit mendapatkan air.

Imam menggali tanah. Tiba-tiba muncul mata air. Beliau berwudhu bersama orang-orang yang menyertainya. Hingga sekarang ini, mata air itu masih mengalir.

Imam Ridha as dan rombongan tiba di Sina Abad dan beliau menyandarkan punggungnya ke salah satu batu besar di gunung itu. Masyarakat di sana adalah pengrajin kuali dan periuk untuk keperluan masak. Imam memohon kepada Allah untuk memberkahi mereka dan meminta untuk dibuatkan periuk.

Imam as masuk ke rumah Hamid bin Qahthaba Thaie dan masuk ke kubah yang di dalamnya terdapat kuburan Harun ar-Rasyid. Di samping kuburan itu, beliau menuliskan sesuatu lalu berkata, “Ini adalah tanahku, dan di sinilah aku akan dikuburkan. Allah akan menjadikannya tempat ziarah bagi pengikutku. Demi Allah, barangsiapa yang menziarahiku, maka wajib baginya ampunan dan rahmat Allah melalui syafa’at kami, Ahlulbait.”

Kemudian, beliau melakukan salat dua rakaat dan sujud yang lama sambil bertasbih 500 kali.

Di Moro

Sampailah Imam Ali Ridha as di Moro. Makmun berusaha menampakkan rasa hormat dengan cara menyambut beliau dan mengadakan pesta penyambutan. Dia mengharapkan Imam supaya sudi menduduki kursi khalifah. Akan tetapi, Imam menolaknya.

Imam Ali Ridha as tahu benar akan maksud yang disembunyikan oleh Makmun. Dia telah membunuh saudaranya sendiri, Muhammad Amin, lantaran haus kekuasan dan kekhalifahan. Lalu, bagaimana mungkin dia mau turun tahta.

Makmun berusaha menarik simpati masyarakat dengan menampakkan kecintaannya kepada Ahlulbait. Dia menetapkan kewajiban menaati Imam sebagai calon penggantinya walaupun dengan cara-cara paksa.

Di hadapan permintaan Makmun yang penuh dengan pemaksaan dan bahkan ancaman, akhirnya Imam Ridha as menerima untuk dijadikan penggantinya kelak dengan syarat, bahwa Makmun tidak ikut campur dalam urusan-urusan pemerintahan.

Segera kepingan-kepingan uang dicetak dengan nama Imam, dan Makmun membiarkan masyarakat memakai pakaian hitam sebagai lambang orang-orang Abbasiyah dan memakai pakaian hijau sebagai lambang orang-orang Alawiyah (keturunan Imam Ali bin Abi Thalib as).

Lebih daripada itu, Makmun bahkan menikahkan anak perempuannya dengan Imam Ridha as dan menikahkan anak perempuannya yang lain dengan putra beliau, yaitu Muhammad Jawad as.

Shalat Id

Imam Ali Ridha as dibaiat sebagai calon pengganti khalifah pada 5 Ramadhan 201. Setelah 25 hari, tibalah hari pertama dari bulan Syawal, yaitu Hari Raya Idul Fitri. Satu hari sebelumnya, Makmun memerintahkan Imam Ridha as untuk menjadi imam Salat Id.

Imam keberatan. Namun, Makmun bersikeras atas keputusannya, dan mengirim utusan untuk memata-matai gerak-gerik Imam.

Imam as menerima dengan satu syarat, yaitu melakukan Salat Id sesuai dengan ajaran Rasulullah saw dan Amirul Mukminin Ali bin Abi Thalib as.

Makmun menyetujui syarat itu dan memerintahkan tentaranya untuk bersiap-siap menjemput Imam esok pagi.

Masyarakat berkerumun di jalan-jalan dan di atap-atap rumah, sementara pasukan berbaris sambil menunggu Imam as keluar.

Matahari terbit menampakkan garis emas berkilauan dan menyelimuti bumi dengan panas dan cahayanya.

Imam Ali Ridha as mandi dan memakai pakaian serta serban putih sambil membiarkan salah satu ujungnya jatuh di depan dadanya dan ujung lainnya di antara kedua bahunya. Beliau memakai wewangian dan memegang tongkat. Beliau memerintahkan orang-orang terdekatnya serta para pembantunya untuk melakukan hal yang sama. Dan, Imam pun keluar bersama mereka tanpa alas kaki.

Beberapa langkah kemudian, Imam Ridha as mengangkat suaranya sambil mengumandangkan takbir; Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Imam muncul dari dalam rumah, sedangkan pasukan istana serta komandannya melihat Imam dan bersama kelompok besar berjalan di samping kuda-kuda mereka. Mereka pun hanyut dan segera turun dari kuda, lalu melepaskan sepatu-sepatu mereka dan ikut berjalan mengiringi Imam as dengan kaki telanjang.

Imam bertakbir di pintu gerbang. Masyarakat juga ikut bertakbir sehingga gema takbir membahana ke seluruh penjuru kota. Mereka keluar dari rumahnya masing-masing dan tumpah-ruah ke jalan-jalan.

Berkali-kali masyarakat menghadiri Shalat Id yang dilaksanakan dengan penuh kemegahan dan kemewahan yang jauh daripada makna takbir. Namun, kali ini mereka menyaksikan hari raya besar yang penuh dengan semangat Islam yang pernah dibawa oleh Nabi saw, dan kini dihidupkan kembali oleh cucunya, Imam Ali Ridha as.

Mata-mata yang mengintai pergerakan Imam dan masyarakat segera melaporkan hasil pengawasannya kepada Makmun. Dia malah khawatir terhadap dampak yang akan muncul apabila Imam melanjutkan perjalanannya untuk melaksanakan Shalat Ied dan menyampaikan khotbah.

Makmun segera mengutus seseorang untuk menemui Imam Ali Ridha as, yang masih dalam perjalanan. Kepada Imam, ia menyampaikan pesan secara lisan, “Sungguh kami telah membuatmu kepayahan wahai putra Rasulullah. Kami senang bila Anda istirahat. Untuk itu, kembalilah!”

Imam as pun kembali sementara masyarakat bertanya-tanya. Sungguh mereka telah terpesona oleh sosok beliau yang mengingatkan mereka akan kerendahan hati ayah dan kakeknya.

Tujuan Makmun

Tak seorang pun yang mengingkari kelicikan dan muslihat Makmun dalam politik, sebagaimana yang dia lakukan di balik penetapannya atas Imam Ali Ridha as sebagai pengganti kekhalifahannya. Tentu, ada maksud-maksud tertentu yang disembunyikan Makmun, di antaranya adalah:

Mengharapkan dukungan orang-orang Alawiyah yang ingin membalas dendam kepada pemerintahan Abbasiyah (Makmun pada saat itu tengah berkonflik dengan anggota keluarga Abbasiah lainnya) dan bertekad melakukan berbagai pemberontakan dan kerusuhan.
Merangkul orang-orang Alawiyah dengan cara melibatkan mereka dalam pemerintahan agar masyarakat mengetahui, bahwa pemberontakan yang mereka lakukan hanya karena menginginkan kekuasaan dan kesenangan, bahwa mereka tidak ingin menegakkan keadilan, tetapi tujuan mereka adalah untuk memperoleh harta kekayaan.
Makmun berusaha mengumpulkan tokoh-tokoh Alawiyah di ibu kota negara lalu melakukan penangkapan atas mereka, satu persatu, seperti yang kemudian terjadi terhadap Imam Ali Ridha as.

Tentunya, Imam as mengetahui seluruh tipu-daya Makmun dan berusaha menggagalkannya dalam banyak kesempatan. Ini terlihat dari sikap beliau, seperti dalam diskusi dengan para pemuka agama, Salat Id, dan syarat beliau atas Makmun agar tidak ikut campur dalam urusan negara dan politik.

Da’bal al-Khuza’i

Pada masa itu, syair mendapat perhatian khusus dan penghargaan yang tinggi. Syair juga biasa ditempatkan pada surat-surat kabar untuk menyebarluaskan berita, seruan, ataupun maksud-maksud politik. Penguasa memberi dukungan dan imbalan yang besar untuk mengukuhkan pemerintahan mereka.

Sebagian penyair menolak bujukan pemerintah dan tetap teguh dalam mempertahankan kebenaran, sekalipun dalam keadaan serba kurang dan tertindas, sebagaimana yang dilakukan oleh pujangga Da’bal al-Khuza’i.

Sejarah mencatat pertemuan Da’bal dengan Imam Ali Ridha. Abu Shlat al-Harawi meriwayatkan, “Da’bal menjumpai Imam Ali Ridha as di Moro dan berkata, ‘Wahai putra Rasulullah, aku telah membuat syair dan aku berjanji kepada diriku sendiri untuk tidak membacakan kepada seseorang sebelum engkau mendengarkannya.’”

Imam as menyambutnya dan mengucapkan banyak terima kasih lalu mempersilakannya untuk menyenandungkan syair itu. Di antara bait-bait syair Da’bal ialah:

Kediaman-kediaman manusia suci

kini telah sunyi dari pengunjung

Rumah wahyu tidak lagi

dituruni kabar-kabar langit

Pusara di Kufah dan

yang lainnya di Thaibah (Baqi’),

Pula yang di Fakh (Karbala)

senantiasa tercurah salawatku

Dan pusara di Baghdad,

milik jiwa yang suci

Tercurahkan rahmat Sang Pengasih

dalam ruang-ruang kedamaian.

Imam lalu menyambutnya,

Pusara di Thusi betapa besar

Dera nestapa yang menimpanya

Da’bal dengan penuh keheranan bertanya, “Aku tidak pernah tahu, siapakah pemilik pusara itu?”

“Itulah pusaraku wahai Da’bal!” jawab Imam as.

Sang penyair melanjutkan senandung syairnya yang menyisipkan penderitaan dan musibah yang terus menerus menimpa Ahlulbait. Imam as menangis. Air matanya berderai menghangatkan pipinya.

Imam memberikan 100 dinar sebagai hadiah kepada Da’bal. Namun, Da’bal merasa berat menerimanya dan meminta dari beliau sehelai kain untuk mendapatkan berkah darinya. Imam menghadiahkan jubah dari bulu yang ditenun sebagai tambahan dari uang 100 dinar.

Da’bal memohon diri. Dalam perjalanan pulang, ia dan kafilahnya dihadang oleh segerombolan perampok.Seluruh harta benda mereka dirampas. Sambil duduk membagi hasil rampasan, salah seorang perampok melantunkan satu bait puisi:

Aku melihat mereka membagi-bagi harta rampasan.

Di tangan mereka harta rampasan dari emas

Mendengar bait itu, Da’bal bertanya kepada perampok tersebut, “Siapa yang membuat puisi tadi?”

“Ini puisi Da’bal,” jawab perampok itu.

“Akulah Da’bal,” kata Da’bal memperkenalkan diri.

Para perampok itu pun segera mengembalikan harta-harta kafilah yang bersamanya dengan penuh hormat serta meminta maaf kepada mereka.

Da’bal dan kafilahnya melanjutkan perjalanan sampai di kota Qum. Di sana, sebagian masyarakat berebut ingin menukar baju Imam dengan seribu dinar, namun Da’bal menolaknya. Di tengah itu, datanglah sekelompok pemuda dari luar kota Qum menginginkan sepotong (secarik) dari pakaian Imam untuk tabaruk dengan imbalan 1000 Dinar. Maka, Da’bal pun merelakannya.

Ketika sampai di rumahnya, Da’bal mendapati istrinya menderita sakit di bagian matanya. Ia memeriksakannya, dari satu tabib ke tabib yang lain. Namun, mereka semua mengatakan, “Sudah tidak ada gunanya kamu berobat, karena istrimu akan menderita kebutaan.”

Da’bal merasa sedih sekali. Tiba-tiba ia teringat potongan baju Imam, kemudian dia melilitkannya di mata sang istri dari awal malam hingga esok harinya. Tatkala istri Da’bal terjaga, ia tidak merasakan sakit sedikit pun berkat karamah Imam Ali Ridha as.

Hari Kesyahidan

Setelah Makmun merasa jenuh dan putus asa membujuk Imam Ali Ridha as dengan kekuasaan, sementara Imam tetap teguh dan bersih dari kepentingan dunia, Makmun pun senantiasa mencari-cari kesempatan untuk membunuh Imam.

Di Baghdad, orang-orang Abbasiyah mengumumkan pembangkangan Makmun. Lalu mereka membaiat orang-orang kaya sebagai khalifah pengganti Makmun, karena khawatir akan berpindahnya kekuasaan dan kekhalifahan ke tangan orang-orang Alawiyah.

Untuk menarik simpati mereka di Baghdad dan tetap mengakuinya sebagai khalifah, Makmun merencanakan pembunuhan terhadap Imam. Dia bubuhkan racun ganas di minuman.

Imam as meninggal karena racun itu dan kembali ke haribaan Allah dalam keadaan syahid dan teraniaya.

Imam Ali Ridha as syahid pada 203 H dan dimakamkan di kota Thusi (Masyhad-Iran).

Sementara itu, Makmun menampakkan dirinya sedih di hadapan masyarakat dengan tujuan menepis kecurigaan dan tuduhan mereka terhadapnya. Dia pun ikut serta mengantarkan jenazah suci Imam as dan berjalan tanpa alas kaki sambil menangis.

Semoga wiladah agung Imam Ali bin Musa Ridha pada menjadi hari bahagia buat kita semua.[irm/telagahikmah]

"Hukum tidak mengenal kekerabatan"

Ummu salamah adalah salah seorang istri nabi muh saw. Ia memiliki banyak budak wanita yang melakukan pencurian. Ia ditangkap dan dibawa ke hadapan rasulullah.Ummu salamah memohon agar budaknya dimaafkan (mengingat hubungan kekerabatan yang ada,ia mengharap agar tangan budak itu tidak dipotong).

Rasulullah bersabda kepada ummu salamah: "Hai Ummu Salamah, ini adalah salah satu hukum dari hukum-hukum Allah dan tidak dapatdigagalkan." Kemudian rasulullah memerintahkan tangan budak wanita itu dipotong lantaran telah mencuri.

Kindle DX Features

Advanced Design

Sleek & Trim

Kindle DX is as thin as most magazines. Just over a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle DX fits perfectly in your hands.

Beautiful Large Display

Kindle DX's large display is ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Kindle DX's display is two and a half times the size of the Kindle display. Whether you're reading the latest bestseller or a financial report, text and images are amazingly sharp on the 9.7" screen.

Auto-Rotating Screen

By simply turning the device, you can immediately see full-width landscape views of maps, graphs, tables and Web pages.

Built-In PDF Reader

Unload the loose documents from your briefcase or backpack, and put them all on Kindle DX. From neighborhood newsletters to financial statements to case studies and product manuals--you can take them all with you on Kindle DX. Native PDF support allows you to carry and read all of your personal and professional documents on the go. With Amazon's Whispernet service, you can send your documents directly to your Kindle DX and read them anytime, anywhere.

5-Way Controller

Kindle DX has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words.

Simple to Use, No Computer Required

Kindle DX is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required.

Long Battery Life

Long Battery Life - Read for Days Without Recharging

With Kindle DX's long battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.

Charge via USB

Kindle DX supports wall charging via the included Kindle DX power adapter, and charging from your computer via the included USB 2.0 cable. Kindle DX fully charges in approximately 4 hours.

Wireless Access with Whispernet

Fast 3G Network - Get Books in Under 60 Seconds

Whispernet utilizes Amazon's optimized technology plus Sprint's national high-speed (3G) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike Wi-Fi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot. Download times can vary based on wireless coverage strength and file size.

National Wireless Coverage

Kindle DX's national coverage includes cities and areas in all 50 states, enabling wireless downloads of books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Check our wireless coverage map for availability.

No Wireless Bills

No monthly wireless bills, data plans, or commitments. Amazon pays for Kindle DX's wireless connectivity so you won't see a wireless bill. There is no wireless setup--you are ready to shop, purchase and read right out of the box. See Wireless Terms and Conditions.

Carry Your Library in a Profile As Thin As a Magazine

Holds Up To 3,500 Books

The ultimate travel companion, Kindle DX is as thin as a magazine and holds up to 3,500 books, newspapers, magazines, and documents. No longer pick and choose which books fit in your carry-on. Now you can always have your personal and professional libraries with you.

Automatic Library Backup: Download Your Books Anytime for Free

A copy of every book you purchased from the Kindle Store is backed up online at Amazon.com in case you ever need to download it again. You can wirelessly re-download books for free anytime. This allows you to make room for new titles on your Kindle DX, knowing that Amazon is storing your personal library of Kindle books. We even back up your last page read and annotations, so you'll never lose those, either. Think of it as a bookshelf in your attic--even though you don't see it, you know your books are there.

Enhanced Reading

Paper-Like Screen

Utilizing the latest in electronic-ink display technology, Kindle DX provides a crisp black-and-white 9.7-inch diagonal screen with the same appearance and readability of printed paper. Sharp and natural with no glare or backlight, reading on Kindle DX is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Those who see it for the first time always do a double-take. The screen works using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically. And unlike a laptop or smart phone, Kindle DX never gets warm so you can comfortably read as long as you like.

Sharp Display of Images and Photos

Kindle DX's high-resolution screen boasts 16 shades of gray, so images and photos are sharp and clear.

Full Image Zoom

Whether you prefer reading in portrait or landscape mode, images and photos display crisply on Kindle DX and can be zoomed to the full size of the 9.7" screen.

Read in Sunlight With No Glare

Kindle DX's screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic displays. As a result, Kindle DX can be read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room.

Adjustable Text Size

Kindle DX has six adjustable font sizes to suit your reading preference. You can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Now every book in your library can be large print.

Read-to-Me Feature

Kindle DX can read to you. With its Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle DX can read books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers out loud to you, unless the book's rights holder made the feature unavailable. You can switch back and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically saved. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free. You can speed up or slow down the reading speeds or choose a male or female voice. In the middle of a great book or article but have to jump in the car? Simply turn on Text-to-Speech and listen on the go.

Enhanced Newspaper Reading Experience

With Kindle DX's large display, reading newspapers is more enjoyable than ever. The 5-way controller lets you quickly flip between articles, making it fast and easy to browse and read the morning paper. Want to remember the article you just read? Clip and save entire articles for later reading with a single click.

Bookmarks and Annotations

By using the QWERTY keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your notes. Using the 5-way controller, you can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use. You'll never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because Kindle DX remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.

Personal Document Service Via Whispernet

Kindle DX makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to print. Each Kindle has a unique and customizable e-mail address. You can set your unique email address on your Manage Your Kindle page. This allows you and your approved contacts to e-mail Word, PDF documents, and pictures wirelessly to your Kindle for a small fee--see details. Kindle supports wireless delivery of unprotected Microsoft Word, PDF, HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files. In addition, DOCX conversion is supported as an experimental feature.

If you would like to download your personal documents for free, or if you are not in a wireless area, you can send attachments to "name"@free.kindle.com to be converted and e-mailed to your computer at the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account login. You can then transfer the document to your Kindle using your USB connection. For example, if your Kindle email address is Jay@Kindle.com, send your attachments to Jay@free.kindle.com.

Built-in Dictionary With Instant Lookup

Never get caught without a dictionary. Kindle DX includes The New Oxford American Dictionary with over 250,000 entries and definitions, so you can seamlessly look up the definitions of words without interrupting your reading. Come across a word you don't know? Simply move the cursor to it and the definition will automatically display at the bottom of the screen. Never fear a sesquipedalian word again--simply look it up and keep reading.

Wireless Access to Wikipedia

Kindle DX also includes free built-in access to the world's most exhaustive and up-to-date encyclopedia--Wikipedia.org. With Kindle DX in hand, looking up people, places, events and more has never been easier. It gives whole new meaning to the phrase walking encyclopedia.

Kindle DX makes it easy to search within a book, across your library, in the Kindle Store, or even the Web. To use the Search feature, simply type in a word or phrase you're looking for, and Kindle DX finds every instance in your book or across your Kindle library. Looking for the first reference of a character in your book? Simply type in the name and search. You can extend your search to the Kindle Store to find related titles you may be interested in. Explore even further by searching Wikipedia and the Web.

Whispersync

Have more than one Kindle? Our Whispersync technology allows you to seamlessly switch back and forth between your Kindle devices and iPhone while keeping your reading location synchronized--now you can read a few pages on your iPhone or Kindle and pick up right where you left off on your Kindle DX.

Own an iPhone?

The iPhone is a perfect companion for your Kindle. To read Kindle books on your iPhone or iPod touch, simply download our free Kindle for iPhone application. Just like all Kindle devices, Kindle for iPhone includes Amazon's Whispersync technology so you can easily switch back and forth between your Kindle and iPhone.

Audiobooks

With Kindle DX, you are able to download and enjoy more than 60,000 audio titles from Audible.com, including bestselling audio books, radio programs, audio newspapers and magazines. Due to their file size, audiobooks are downloaded to your PC over your existing Internet connection and then transferred to Kindle DX using the included USB 2.0 cable. Listen via Kindle DX's speakers or plug in your headphones for private listening.

Waduk Bantaran berdiri di Cipinang Cempedak

2009-05-16T01:07:00.003+07:00

Sedang dibangunnya waduk bantaran sepanjang kurang lebih satu kilometer di daerah cipinang cempedak. Kita teringat peristiwa jebolnya waduk situgintung ciputat yang memakan korban jiwa dikarenakan kejadian Alam yang tiba-tiba. Dimohon kepada pihak pengembang pembangunan waduk dan pihak-pihak terkait tersebut agar telaten dan jujur (trasnparan) dengan penuh keikhlasan dan tanggung jawab di dalam membangun waduk dengan memakan biaya yang tidak sedikit. Pekerjaan proyek ini sedang berjalan, bahkan pinggiran waduk dimanfaatkan warga sekitar untuk memancing ikan yang katanya ada bermacam ikan seperti gabus, mujair,dll. Lihatlah foto-foto yang di ambil hari jum'at jam 15:15 di sekitar waduk tersebut.

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Weighing under 5 pounds, the ultra-portable Toshiba Satellite U405-S2915 notebook PC packs in an extraordinary amount of power and productivity into its elegant, compact package. The 13.3-inch widescreen display offers TruBrite technology for optimal image clarity and a 1280 x 800 resolution for extra desktop working space and a widescreen aspect ratio for watching letterboxed movies. A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD's bezel lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. The integrated webcam does more than just video chats. It includes Toshiba Face Recognition capabilities--the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to log onto your laptop. Just show your face to the webcam--no keeping track of hard-to-remember passwords and no unnecessary typing. And if you're using one laptop for several users--say for the whole family or for a small business--Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles with one simple look.

It's powered by the 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 processor, which boosts speed, reduces power requirements, and saves on battery life. It also offers a fast 800 MHz front-side bus speed and 2 MB L2 cache. It also includes Intel's 5100AGN wireless LAN, which will connect to draft 802.11n routers and offers compatibility with 802.11a/b/g networks as well.

Other features include a 320 GB hard drive, 4 GB of installed RAM (8 GB maximum), Bluetooth connectivity, dual-layer DVD±RW drive that also burns CDs, Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics with up to 1750 MB of shared video RAM, combo USB/eSATA port, 5-in-1 memory card reader, and pre-installed 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1 operating system. Additionally, this Toshiba notebook is RoHS-compatible, effectively reducing the environmental impact by restricting the use of lead, mercury and certain other hazardous substances.

Brilliant Fusion Finish
An advanced Toshiba notebook should be more than just a way to make mobile life easier. It should be a reflection of you, too. And this laptop offers the gorgeous new high-gloss Fusion finish with striking Horizon design pattern. It features a smooth, shiny palm rest and a recessed touchpad to that gives your notebook both a more streamlined look and more comfort when you're clicking. Separate multimedia buttons let you launch your favorite entertainment right away as well as control playback--letting you start, pause, fast-forward and rewind almost with feather-touch operation.

The Basics

Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed, fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
With two computational execution cores in a single processor, it provides greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:
- Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
- Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
- Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
- Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.
Hard Drive: The large 320 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive (5400 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 4 GB of installed RAM (PC6400, 2 x 2 GB) helps boost the amount of available video RAM that's shared with this notebook's video card. It also offers a fast 800 MHz speed. This notebook has an 8 GB maximum RAM capacity. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive: The dual-layer Labelflash DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 6x for both DVD±R DL, 8x for both single-layer DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.
With the Labelflash functionality, you can burn high-resolution, high-contrast pictures on the label side of DVD discs using the same laser used for data recording. Enjoy transparency and high-quality not found in traditional printable media. All you need is a Labelflash DVD disc to start labeling without a printer.
Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 85-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. It also offers a launch button for the Express CD/DVD media player and control buttons (play, stop, next, previous) as well as a volume control dial.

Screen, Video & Audio
This Toshiba Satellite has a 13.3-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels (native 720p for high-definition viewing). It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, which uses shared video memory (up to 1750 MB allocated from the system memory). This graphics card is built with Intel Clear Video technology, which delivers clearer, more detailed images by eliminating many of the jagged edges and video artifacts seen when viewing interlaced content and features powerful color control to ensure videos are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out.

This notebook also features an integrated audio card and two Harman Kardon stereo speakers.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated quad-mode Intel Wireless 5100AGN Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). The Bluetooth connectivity (version 2.1 + EDR) enables you to communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones.

With USB Sleep-and-Charge support, you can use your Satellite M305 to charge your favorite portable electronic devices, even when the laptop is asleep. If you use a smartphone, you can just plug it in, power up and go without having to worry that you've got enough charge. It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (though no PCMCIA card slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. Here's the full list of connection options:

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players (including 1 eSATA/USB combo port)
1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
1 ExpressCard 54/34 slot
Video out: VGA
1 headphone jack (with SPDIF digital output for 5.1-channel surround sound)
1 microphone jack
RJ-45 port for 10/100 Ethernet connection
56K modem port (V.90)
