Bug fixes

I’ve been using Boxcar for a few months for managing any notifications that come through on my iPhone and iPad, and have enjoyed it immensely. Keeping track of notifications on iOS is a dismal process, and Boxcar corrects that.

With this update, we’re wondering how you’ll be integrating the new features into your usage patterns?

طلب بخشش به سبک بچه زرنگ ها

2010-05-09T00:07:00.002-07:00

کودکی به مامانش گفت، من واسه تولدم دوچرخه می خوام. بابی پسر خیلی شری بود. همیشه اذیت می کرد. مامانش بهش گفت آیا حقته که این دوچرخه رو برات بگیریم واسه تولدت؟بابی گفت، آره. مامانش بهش گفت، برو تو اتاق خودت و یه نامه برای خدا بنویس و ازش بخواه به خاطر کارای خوبی که انجام دادی بهت یه دوچرخه بده

نامه شماره یک

سلام خدای عزیز

اسم من بابی هست. من یک پسر خیلی خوبی بودم و حالا ازت می خوام که یه دوچرخه بهم بدی.
دوستار تو بابی

بابی کمی فکر کرد و دید که این نامه چون دروغه کارساز نیست و دوچرخه ای گیرش نمی یاد. برا همین نامه رو پاره کرد.

نامه شماره دو

سلام خدا
اسم من بابیه و من همیشه سعی کردم که پسر خوبی باشم. لطفاً واسه تولدم یه دوچرخه بهم بده.
بابی

اما بابی یه کمی فکر کرد و دید که این نامه هم جواب نمی ده واسه همین پارش کرد.

نامه شماره سه

سلام خدا
اسم من بابی هست. درسته که من بچه خوبی نبودم ولی اگه واسه تولدم یه دوچرخه بهم بدی قول می دم که بچه خوبی باشم.
بابی

بابی کمی فکر کرد و با خودش گفت که شاید این نامه هم جواب نده. واسه همین پارش کرد. تو فکر فرو رفت. رفت به مامانش گفت که می خوام برم کلیسا. مامانش دید که کلکش کار ساز بوده، بهش گفت خوب برو ولی قبل از شام خونه باش.

بابی رفت کلیسا. یکمی نشست وقتی دید هیچ کسی اونجا نیست، پرید و مجسمه مادر مقدس رو کش رفت ( دزديد ) و از کلیسا فرار کرد.

بعدش مستقیم رفت تو اتاقش و نامه جدیدش رو نوشت.

نامه شماره چهار

سلام خدا
مامانت پیش منه. اگه می خواییش واسه تولدم یه دوچرخه بهم بده.
بابی

Perception

Two women are chatting in an office.
Woman 1: I had sex last night, did you?
Woman 2: Yes.
Woman 1: Was it good?
Woman 2: No, it was a disaster...my husband came home, ate his dinner in three minutes, got on top of me, finished having sex in five minutes, rolled over and fell asleep in two minutes. How was yours?
Woman 1: Oh it was amazing! My husband came home and took me out to a romantic dinner. After dinner we walked for an hour. When we came home he lit the candles around the house and we had an hour of foreplay. We then had an hour long session of fantastic sex and afterwards talked for an hour. It was like a fairytale!

At the same time, their husbands are talking at work.
Husband 1: You wanted sex last night, how was it?
Husband 2: Great. I came home, dinner was on the table, and I ate, had sex with my wife and fell asleep. It was great! What about you?
Husband 1: It was horrible. I came home, there's no dinner because they cut the electricity because I hadn't paid the bill; so I had to take my wife out to dinner which was so expensive that I didn't have money left for a cab. We had to walk home which took an hour - and when we got home remember there was no electricity so I had to light candles all over the house! I was so angry that I couldn't get it up for an hour and then I couldn't climax for another hour. After I finally did, I was so aggravated that I couldn't fall asleep and my wife was jabbering away for another hour!

همه چيز درباره خیار

2010-03-01T11:18:00.006-08:00

1. دارای ویتامینهایی است که روزانه ما بدن نیازداریم. مانند میتامینهای ب یک ، دو، سه، پنج، شش، سید فولیک، ویتامین سی، کلسیم، آهن، منیزیم، فسفر و پتاسیم و روی

2. اگر بعد از ظهر خسته هستی بجای اینکه نوشیدنیهای کافیئن دار بنوشی یک خیار بخور.آنها دارای ویتامینهای بی و هیدروکربور هستند که شما را سرحال آورده و چند ساعت نگهمیدارد.

3. اگر آینه حمام بخار میکند آنرا به آینه بمالید تا از بخار کردن جلو گیری کند.

4. اگر حشرات و حیوانات باغچه شما را نابود میکنند یک بشقاب آلومینیومی خیار لایه لایه برش خورده را بگذارید تا همه آنها را فرار دهد.

مواد خیار با آلومینیوم ترکیب شده و بویی را ایجاد میکند که همه حشرات و... را فراری میدهد. ولی انسان آنرا حس نمیکند..

5. اگر روی پوست خود ناهمواری دارید و میخواهیدکه از شر آن قبل از رفتن به استخر خلاص شوید خیار برش خورده را به آن محل ها روی پوست خود بمالید. مواد فتوشیمیایی خیار باعث میشود که کلوژنهای پوست جمع شود و چاله چوله ها از بین بروند. روی چروکها نیز بسیار موثر است.

12. اگر یک روش سبز برای تمیز کردن وسایل استیل میخواهید، با خیار آنها را تمیز کنید.

13. اگر در حال نوشتن اشتباه کردید از آن میتوانید بعنوان پا ک کن (از قسمت بیرونی آن) استفاده کنید.

هفت ‌اشتباه باور نكردنی درباره خواب‌

2010-03-01T10:50:00.001-08:00

1 - خواب؛ هر چه بیشتر، بهتر: كاش همین‌طور بود! ولی مطالعات نشان می‌دهد احتمال مرگ زودرس در آنهایی كه بیش از8 ‌ساعت در شبانه‌روز می‌خوابند،بیشتر است. ‌

2 - خوش به حال فلانی، هنوز سرش به بالش نرسیده،خوابش می‌برد! ‌اتفاقا این نشان می‌‌دهد كه فلانی‌،خواب خوبی ندارد.این كه آدم هنوز سرش به بالش نرسیده خوابش ‌ببرد، یكی از نشانه‌های خواب‌آلودگی است كه باید تحت بررسی قرار بگیرد.مدت زمانی كه طول می‌كشد ‌تا خوابمان ببرد،نباید كمتر از 5 دقیقه یا بیشتر از30 دقیقه باشد.پزشكان،مقادیر كمتر و بیشتر از ‌این محدوده را غیرطبیعی می‌دانند.
‌

3 - چقدر كم می‌خوابی! همه آدم‌ها حداقل به 8 ساعت خواب شبانه احتیاج دارند! ‌هیچ عدد قطعی و واحدی وجود ندارد كه بشود روی آن قسم خورد.میزان نیاز به خواب در افراد مختلف، ‌متفاوت است.به خودتان رجوع كنید، اگر حس می‌كنید كه هر روز بعدازظهر خسته و خواب‌آلود ‌می‌شوید، بدانید كه احتمالا الگوی خواب‌تان غلط است.‌

4 - چقدر زیاد می‌خوابی، نخبه‌ها فقط روزی 3،‌ 4 ساعت می‌خوابند! ‌شاید مارگارت تاچر و بیل كلینتون و چند نفر از مشاهیر هالیوودی جزء نخستین كسانی باشند كه رسانه‌های ‌غربی،درباره كم‌ خوابیدن آنها زیاد حرف زدند.اما واقعیت این است كه از نظر پزشكان، این قبیل افراد ‌معمولا عملكرد بهتری نسبت به سایرین ندارند. كم‌خوابی،سلامت شما را تهدید می‌‌كند و ‌تمركزتان را پایین می‌آورد. كم‌خوابی حتی می‌تواند بیمارتان كند و به سیستم ایمنی‌ شما آسیب ‌بزند.

‌5- من خوابم خوب است؛ فقط شب‌ها چند بار از خواب می‌پرم! ‌به چنین خوابی نمی‌گویند خواب خوب. خوابی خوب است كه تداوم مناسبی داشته باشد.بیدار شدن مكرر ‌در حین خواب از علائم شایع اختلال خواب است و بیشتر آنهایی كه شب‌ها بیش از یك بار از ‌خواب می‌پرند، به نوعی اختلال خواب دچارند.

6- كم‌‌خوابی فقط یك چاره دارد؛ قرص خواب! ‌‌ تاثیر داروهای خواب‌آور، كوتاه‌ مدت است و كم‌كم بدن به دارو عادت می‌كند و دیرتر به آن جواب می‌دهد. از ‌طرفی،اگر بدن به دارو عادت ‌كند؛ قطع آن اوضاع را بدتر می‌كند. پس برای درمان قطعی، فقط باید به پزشك ‌مراجعه كرد تا علت اصلی بی‌‌خوابی شناخته و درمان شود.

‌7- كم‌‌خوابی از آن دردهایی است كه چاره ندارد‌ و باید با آن ساخت! ‌اما توصیه‌های دیگری هم هست كه می‌تواند اوضاع خواب‌تان را رو به ‌راه كند: ‌پرهیز از نوشیدن چای،قهوه، نوشابه وخوردن شكلات در ساعات نزدیك به خواب. خودداری از مصرف غذاهای سنگین و كشیدن سیگار در ساعات نزدیك به خواب.‌رعایت نظم خواب؛ خوابیدن در یك ساعت ثابت، اختصاص دادن اتاق خواب به خوابیدن و اجتناب از كارهای ‌دیگری مثل تماشای تلویزیون و كار در آن اتاق ‌‌و بالاخره این كه اگر بیش از نیم ساعت در رختخواب ماندید و خوابتان نبرد و احساس خواب‌آلودگی هم ‌نكردید، باید از اتاق خواب خارج شوید وتا وقتی احساس خواب‌آلودگی نكرده‌اید،به رختخواب برنگردید.‌

Microsoft Killing Free XP Support Next Week

2009-04-07T12:44:00.001-07:00

Microsoft will drop free support for handful of aging products next week, including consumer versions of Windows XP and Office 2003.
On April 14, the Redmond giant ends "mainstream" support for Office 2003 in addition to Windows XP Home and Professional. This means the software will no longer include no-charge incident support, warranty claims, design changes, and bug fixes not related to security.
After next week, consumer XP and Office 2003 will be put into an "extended support" phase, which means customers will need to pay for Microsoft assistance on a per-incident, per hour, or alternative basis.
Security updates will still be provided for free for Office 2003 and XP Home and Professional until August 4, 2014. After that, the software is retired and users are on their own.
Customers can still get non-security critical fixes if they've enrolled in Microsoft's Extended Hot fix Support program. However, they must purchase the Hot fix agreement within 90 days of mainstream support ending - so it's rather late for that now.
On April 14, Microsoft is also "retiring" Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, meaning it will no longer provide support for the release. In other words, time to upgrade to SP2.
Upcoming kill dates
A complete list of Microsoft product-life cycles is available here, but we'll parse out some of the big upcoming support deadlines for your convenience.
Office 2000: Mainstream support ended in 2004. Extended support ends July 14, 2009.
Windows 2000 Server: Mainstream support ended in 2005. Extended support ends July 13, 2010.
Office 2007: Mainstream support ends April 10, 2012. Extended support ends April 11, 2017.
Windows Vista Home Basic, Premium, and Ultimate: Mainstream support ends April 10, 2012. Extended Support doesn't yet have a deadline.
Windows Vista Business: Mainstream support ends April 2012. Extended support ends April 11, 2017.

درسهايي براي زندگي

2008-05-26T23:59:00.002-07:00

اعتماد سازي سالها بطول مي انجامد، اما ممكن است در عرض چند ثانيه از ميان برود.
در اين دنيا اهميت ندارد كه چه چيزهايي داريد، بلكه اين مهم است كه چه كسي را در زندگي خود داريد.
هنگامي كه خود را با ديگران مقايسه ميكنيد در واقع ارزش وجودي خود را زير سوال ميبريد. ما همگي افرادي بي همتا و منحصر بفرد ميباشيم.
شما ميتوانيد كاري را در يك لحظه انجام دهيد كه تا پايان عمر موجب پشيماني و اندوه شما گردد.
براي رسيدن به شخص آرماني و ايده آل خودتان به روندي مادام العمر نياز است.
با بهره گيري از فرصتهاست كه ما شجاعت را مي آموزيم.
يا بايد رفتار و نگرش خود را كنترل كنيد و يا آنكه تحت فرمان رفتار خود در خواهيد آمد.
ما نسبت به كرده خود مسئول ميباشيم، صرفنظر از اينكه چگونه آن را توجيه كنيم.
هر چقدر هم كه آغاز يك رابطه پر حرارت و عاشقانه باشد، علاقه و احساسات آتشين فرو خواهد نشست و بهتر است چيز ديگري جاي آن را بگيرد.
قهرمانان افرادي هستند كه عملي را كه ميبايست انجام پذيرد را انجام مي دهند، صرفنظر از پيامدهاي آن.
پول ابزاري نامناسب براي امتياز دهي ميباشد.
ميزان كمال و پختگي به نوع تجارب و ميزان درس گيري شما از آن تجارب بستگي دارد و نه به ميزان سن شما.
اين با خارج گشتن از محدوده آسايش است كه ما رشد ميكنيم.
هر مقدار هم كه دوست شما خوب باشد، بر خي اوقات احساسات شما را جريحه دار خواهد كرد، و شما بايد وي را مورد بخشش قرار دهيد.
اين تنها كافي نيست كه ديگران را مورد بخشش قرار دهيد، برخي اوقات شما خودتان را هم بايد ببخشيد.
هر اندازه هم كه قلب شما شكسته شده باشد، جهان براي اندوه شما از حركت نخواهد ايستاد.
پيشينه و شرايط شما قطعا در آنچه كه هستيد تاثير گذار بوده اند، اما شما در شكل گيري شخصيت آينده خود مسئول ميباشيد.
دو فرد ممكن است به يك چيز واحد و كاملا يكسان نگاه كنند و چيزهايي كاملا متفاوت ببينند.
كيفيت ارتباط برقرار كردن شما تعيين كننده كيفيت زندگي شما خواهد بود.
شما قادر هستيد به هر چه كه ميخواهيد برسيد، بشرط آنكه ايمان داشته باشيد كه استحقاق آن را داريد و وقت، انرژي و ذهن خود را وقف آن كنيد.
شما مي بايد اهداف خود را بر اساس خواسته هاي خود تعيين كنيد، و نه خواسته هاي ديگران.
زندگي در گذشته و آينده از زندگي امروز شما ميكاهد.
اگر تناسب اندام خود را حفظ نكنيد در دراز مدت تاوان آن را خواهيد پرداخت.
در هر كجا از عرصه زندگي كه شما براي آن انرژي صرف نميكنيد، زيان خواهد ديد.
شما قادر نميباشيد ديگران را وادار كنيد تا شما را دوست داشته باشند، تنها كاري كه ميتوانيد انجام دهيد آنست كه فردي دوست داشتني گرديد.
اگر شما از انتظارات و نيازهاي خود به ديگران چيزي نگوييد، تنها چيزهايي را كه آنها حدس ميزنند شما به آن نياز داريد را در اختيارتان قرار خواهند داد. و اين ممكن است با خواسته هاي شما بسيار متفاوت باشد.

راز بی اخلاقی مسلمانان

2008-05-23T21:17:00.000-07:00

در بغداد هرروز بسیار خبرها می رسید از دزدی , قتل و تجاوز به زنان در بلاد مسلمانان که همه از جانب مسلمانان بود. روزی خواجه نصیر الدین مرا گفت می دانی از بهر چیست که جماعت مسلمان از هر جماعت دیگر بیشتر گنه می کنند با آنکه دین خود را بسیار اخلاقی و بزرگمنش می دانند؟

من بدو گفتم : بزرگوارا همانا من شاگرد توام و بسیار شادمان خواهم شد اگر ندانسته ای را بدانم.
خواجه نصیر الدین فرمود :ای شیخ تو کوششها در دین مبین کرده ای و اصول اخلاق محمد که سلام خدا بر او باد را می دانی. و همانا محمد و جانشینانش بسیار از اخلاق گفته اند و از بامداد که مومن از خواب بر می خیزد تا هنگامی که شبانگاه با بانویش همبستر می شود , راه بر او شناسانده شده است .اما چه سری است که هیچ کدام از ایشان ذره ای بر اخلاق نیستند و بی اخلاق ترین مردمانند وآنکه اخلاق دارد نه از مسلمانی اش که از وجدان بیدار او است. من بسیار سفرها کرده ام و از شرق تا غرب عالم و دینها و آیینها دیده ام . از "غوتمه ( بودا ) "در خاورزمین تا "مانی ایرانی" در باختر زمین که همانا پیروانشان چه نیکو می زیند و هرگز بر دشمنی و عداوت نیستند . آنها هرگز چون مسلمانان در اخلاقشان فرع و اصل نیست و تنها بنیان اخلاق را خودشناسی می دانند و معتقدند آنکه خود بشناسد وجدان خود را بیدار کرده و نیازی به جزئیات اخلاقی همچون مسلمانان ندارد. اما عیب اخلاق مسلمانی چیست ای شیخ؟
در اخلاق مسلمانی هر گاه به تو فرمانی می دهند , آن فرمان " اما " و " اگر " دارد. در اسلام تو را می گویند

دروغ نگو ... اما دروغ به دشمنان اسلام را باکی نیست
غیبت مکن ... اما غیبت انسان بدکار را باکی نیست
قتل مکن ... اما قتل نامسلمان را باکی نیست
تجاوز مکن ... اما تجاوز به نامسلمان را باکی نیست
و این " اماها " مسلمانان را گمراه کرده و هر مسلمانی به گمان خود دیگری را نابکار و نامسلمان می داند و اجازه هر پستی را به خود می دهد و خدا را نیز از خود راضی و شادمان می بیند
و راز نابخردی و پستی مسلمانان در همین است ای شیخ کسلان

Friendship

2007-09-21T00:04:00.000-07:00

Do you know “How friendship breaks?”
Both friends will think the other is busy and will NOT contact.
Thinking it may be disturbing. As Time Passes, both will think let the other contact. After that each will think why I should contact first?
Here your love will be converted to hate. Finally, without contact the memory becomes weak and they will forget each other. So, keep in touch with all your friends.
I don't want to be one of this kind, so here I am writing this note to everyone to say Hello.

Charles Schultz Philosophy

2007-09-20T23:55:00.000-07:00

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read it straight through and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.It's already tomorrow in Australia.

ردای پدر علم جهان

2007-08-22T11:46:00.000-07:00

یك نمونه دیگر از ارزشهای ایرانی كه خود ما آنرا نمی شناسیم رداي فارغ التحصيلي است. لابد تا به حال شما هم دیده اید وقتی یك دانشجو در دانشگاههای خارج می خواهد مدرك دكترای خود را بگیرد، یك لباس بلند مشكی به تن او می كنند و یك كلاه چهارگوش كه از یك گوشه آن یك منگوله آویزان است بر سر او می گذارند و بعد او لوح فارغ التحصیلی را می خواند. هنگامي كه از ما سوال مي شود كه این لباس و كلاه چیست؟ پاسخ مي دهیم این لباس شیطونك است كه اینها تنشان می كنند! اما هنگامي كه از يك اروپایی یا ژاپنی و یا حتی آمریكایی سوال شود این لباس چیست كه شما تن فارغ التحصیلانتان می كنید؟ می گویند ما به احترام «آوی سنت» (پور سینا) پدر علم جهان این لباس را به صورت نمادین می پوشیم. آنها به احترام «آوی سنت» كه همان «ابن سینا»ی ماست كه لباس بلند رداگونه می پوشیده، این لباس را تن دانشمندان خود می كنند. آن كلاه هم نشانه همان دستار است (کمی فانتزی شده) و منگوله آن نمادی از گوشه دستار خراسانی كه ما ایرانی ها در قدیم از گوشه دستار آویزان می كردیم و به دوش می انداختیم. در اروپا و آمریكا علامت یك آدم برجسته و دانش آموخته را لباس و كلاه ابن سینا می گذارند، ولی ما خودمان نمی دانیم. باورتان می شود؟!

Stop Dirt in Its Tracks

2007-08-17T10:20:00.000-07:00

Did you know that over 95% of all dirt found in your house comes from outside? Soil, dust, pollen, air pollution and many other sources get into your house and cause an endless cycle of cleaning, dusting and vacuuming. If it seems that you're continually losing this battle to the elements why not do something proactive? We suggest you enlist the following three lines of defense!
First:
Keep the outside of your house as clean as possible. Does it not make sense to keep as much dirt as you can in the great outdoors before it enters your house? We can achieve this quite easily by keeping the areas near any entrances free of sand, dirt, small rocks and debris which is easily tracked into your house. By sweeping and cleaning your sidewalks, driveway, patio, porch, etc., on a regular basis, you will prevent a lot of indoor 'after the fact' cleaning.
Second:
Use entrance mats. Did you know that a good quality entrance mat can capture as much as a pound of dirt per square foot? This is much easier to remove from a mat than when it is spread through out your house. Use as many large, good quality, mats as possible, both indoors and outside. Also, clean them often and thoroughly.
Third:
Capture the dirt completely on the first effort. What this means is to use tools and procedures that collect and don't just scatter dust and dirt. High filtration vacuum bags, treated dusters and dust mops, clean rags, clean wash water, clean wet mops: all these will make your cleaning more effective and longer lasting. Stopping dirt in its tracks is easier if you use the three lines of defense!

قوانين مورفي

2007-07-29T19:41:00.000-07:00

يادآوري قوانين مورفي تسکين دهنده بدبياري ها و بدشانسي هاست. قانون مورفي در سال 1949 در پايگاه نيروي هوايي ادوارز شکل گرفت. مورفي مهندس هوافضا بود که روي يک پروژه کار مي کرد. در يکي از سخت ترين آزمايشهاي پروژه يک تکنسين خنگ تمام سيم ها را برعکس وصل کرد و آزمايش خراب شد. مورفي درباره اين تکنسين گفت: "اگه يه راه براي خراب کردن چيزي وجود داشته باشه او همون يه راه رو پيدا مي کنه" و اين اولين قانون مورفي بود. در ابتدا در فرهنگ فني مهندسين رواج پيدا کرد و بعد به فرهنگ عامه راه پيدا کرد. بعداً قوانين ديگري هم بعد از کسب رتبه لازم از بنياد مورفي در زمره قوانين اصلي قرار گرفتند .

حالا قوانين مورفي و قوانين استنباط شده از آن
- اگر در توده يا کپه اي به دنبال چيزي بگردي، چيز مورد نظر حتما در ته قرار دارد .
- هيچ کاري آن طور که به نظر مي رسد ساده نيست .
- وقتي در ترافيک گير کرده اي لايني که تو در آن هستي ديرتر راه مي افتد .
- هر کاري بيش از آنچه فکرش را مي کني دو برابر آنچه بايد وقت مي برد. مگر اينکه آن کار ساده به نظر برسد که در آن صورت سه برابر وقت مي گيرد .
- هر چيزي که بتواند خراب شود خراب مي شود آن هم در بدترين زمان ممکن .
- اگر چيزي را مقاوم در برابر حماقت احمق ها بسازي احمق باهوش تري پيدا مي شود و کارت را خراب مي کند .
- در صورتي که شانس انجام درست يک کار پنجاه پنجاه باشد احتمال غلط انجام دادن آن نود درصد است .
- وسايل نقليه اعم از اتوبوس، قطار، هواپيما و... هميشه ديرتر از موعد حرکت مي کنند مگر آن که شما دير برسيد. در اين صورت درست سر وقت رفته اند .
- اگر به نظر مي رسد همه چيزها خوب پيش مي روند حتما چيزي را از قلم انداخته اي .
- احتمال بد پيش رفتن کارها نسبت مستقيم با اهميت آنها دارد .
- هر وقت خودت را براي انجام دادن کاري آماده کرده اي ناچار مي شوي اول کار ديگري را انجام دهي .
- اشياي قيمتي اگر سقوط کنند به مکان هاي غيرقابل دسترس مثل کانال آب يا دستگاه زباله خرد کن (آن هم در حالي که روشن است) مي افتند .
- مادر هميشه راه بهتري براي انجام کارتان پيشنهاد مي کند البته بعد از اينکه کار را به سختي انجام داده باشيد .
- هر چه بيشتر سعي کنيد چيزي را از مادرتان پنهان کنيد او بيشتر به وب کم شبيه مي شود .
- 80% امتحانات پايان ترم براساس کلاسي است که در آن غايب بوده اي .
- وقتي قبل از امتحانات نکات را مرور مي کني مهمترين شان ناخوانا ترينشان است .

قوانين عاشقانه ي مورفي
- همه خوب ها تصاحب شده اند ، اگر تصاحب نشده باشند حتما دليلي دارد .
- هر چه شخص مذکور بهتر و مناسب تر باشد، فاصله اش از تو بيشتر است .
- شعور ضربدر زيبايي ضربدر در دسترس بودن مساوي عددي ثابت است. که اين عدد هميشه صفر است .
- ميزان عشق ديگران نسبت به تو نسبت عکس دارد با ميزان علاقه تو به آنها .
- چيزهايي که يک زن را بيش از هر چيز به مردي جذب مي کند همانهايي اند که چند سال بعد بيشترين تنفر را از آنها خواهد داشت .
- زيبائي يك زن صفتي متناقض با معصوميت اوست .

فلسفه مورفي : " لبخند بزن... فردا روز بدتريه "

و اما سرنوشت خود آقاي مورفي
يه شب تو يه بزرگراه سوخت ماشين آقاي مورفي تموم مي شه. اون شب تو بزرگراه ترافيک بوده و ماشين ها با سرعت مورچه مي رفتن. آقاي مورفي هم مي زنه بقل که بقيه رو با تاکسي بره . همينجوري ريلکس کنار بزرگراه واستاده بوده که يهو ماشين يه توريست انگليسي که داشته خلاف جهت مي اومده تپٌي مي زنه بهش و مي ميره.اتفاقا اون روز لباسش هم سفيد بوده . حالا فکر کن !!!!.... با يه لباس سفيد کنار يه بزرگراه شلوغ واستاده باشي. بعد يه گاگولي در جهت مخالف بياد بهت بزنه و بميري . احتمالا موقع جون دادن اين جمله ي معروفش روي لبش بوده

"اگه يه راه براي خراب کردن چيزي وجود داشته باشه او همون يه راه رو پيدا مي کنه

The Bank Account of Life

2007-06-29T15:22:00.000-07:00

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every “evening” deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Each of us has such a “bank”. Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the “tomorrow.” You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!

The clock is running. Make the most of today:
To realize the value of ONE YEAR:
-Ask a student who failed a grade
To realize the value of ONE MONTH:
-Ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby
To realize the value of ONE WEEK:
-Ask the editor of a weekly newspaper
To realize the value of ONE HOUR:
-Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE:
-Ask a person who missed the train
To realize the value of ONE SECOND:
-Ask a person who just avoided an accident
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND:
-Ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called…the Present! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear. They share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us.

Happy Birthday

2007-05-09T00:24:00.000-07:00

Yes, happy birthday to me and to everyone who was born on this day.
So far, nobody told me and I know it's not their fault. These days everybody have their own problems and I don't blame people around me.
Anyways, Today is my birthday and I become more mature and old, so I have to leave my bad days and bad experiences aside and look for the better days that will come in my life, soon.

Be Confidence

2007-01-08T12:03:00.000-08:00

If you don't figure out what you're good at and what's important to you, you will never be able to sell yourself.

2006-11-11T20:39:00.000-08:00

There's a way to say "NO", without saying no!

Did You Know That...!?!

2006-02-07T14:34:00.000-08:00

Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart are real weak and most susceptible?
Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?
Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are?
I love you, Sorry and Help me.
Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?
Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?
Did you know that those who dress in black are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?
Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?
Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?
Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?
Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.
But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself, if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned, and you know that you can help, you'll see that it will be returned in two-fold.

Important Notice

2006-01-27T13:56:00.000-08:00

A stock clerk was sent to clean up a storeroom in Maui, Hawaii. When he got back, he was complaining that the storeroom was really filthy and that he had noticed dried mouse or rat droppings in some areas. A couple of days later, he started to feel like he was coming down with stomach flu, complained of sore joints and headaches, and began to vomit. He went to bed and never really got up again. Within two days he was severely ill and weak. His blood sugar count was down to 66, and his face and eyeballs were yellow. He was rushed to the emergency at Pali-Momi, where he was diagnosed to be suffering from massive organ failure. He died shortly before midnight. No one would have made the connection between his job and his death, had it not been for a doctor who specifically asked if he had been in a warehouse or exposed to dried rat or mouse droppings at any time. They said there is a virus (much likes the Hanta virus) that lives in dried rat and mouse droppings. Once dried, these droppings are like dust and can easily be breathed in or ingested if a person does not wear protective gear or fails to wash face and hands thoroughly.
An autopsy was performed on the clerk to verify the doctor's suspicions. This is why it is extremely important to ALWAYS carefully rinse off the tops of canned sodas or foods, and to wipe off pasta packaging, cereal boxes, and so on. Almost everything you buy in a supermarket was stored in a warehouse at one time or another, and stores themselves often have rodents.
Most of us remember to wash vegetables and fruits, but never think of boxes and cans. The ugly truth is, even the most modern, upper-class, super store has rats and mice. And their warehouse most assuredly does!
Whenever you buy any canned soft drink, please make sure that you wash the top with running water and soap or, if that is not available, drink with a straw.
The investigation of soda cans by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta discovered that the tops of soda cans can be encrusted with dried rat's urine, which is so toxic it can be lethal. Canned drinks and other foodstuffs are stored in warehouses and containers that are usually infested with Rodents, and then they get transported to retail outlets without being properly cleaned.

7. Men are like Department Stores…Their clothes are always 1/2 off.
8. Men are like Government Bonds…They take so long to mature.
9. Men are like Mascara…They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
10. Men are like Popcorn…They satisfy you, but only for a little while.
11. Men are like Snowstorms…You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.
12. Men are like Lava Lamps…Fun to look at, but not very bright.
13. Men are like Parking Spots…All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

Now tell this to all the remarkable women you know, as well as to any understanding good-natured, fun kind of guys you might be lucky enough to know!!!

Technical Support

2005-02-07T21:47:00.000-08:00

Dear Technical Support:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity.
Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.
I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0.

Please help!
Thanks,
A Troubled User.

10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

2004-09-03T13:40:00.000-07:00

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar Consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head Covered While Sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working Your Brain During Illness.
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in Stimulating Thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

(Take Care of Your Brain!)
Thanks.

An E-mail from God

2004-09-03T13:30:00.000-07:00

Message: Memo from GOD
To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: THE BOSS
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something For God To Do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful! things that are present in your life now. If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should -- you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should -- you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should -- you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should -- your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should -- you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should -- you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should -- you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!
Should -- you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!!
