Choose the Best Assistant for Brushing Your Teeth

A good quality toothbrush is an essential and irreplaceable instrument for maintaining proper oral hygiene. In our times, toothbrush is a first necessity both for children and adults, but sometimes one can get confused when trying to decide what type of toothbrush could be the best. Frequently, people tend to choose the brush of the shape and color they like, the brush that is affordable, or the one of the most advertised brand. However, making a decision about the most effective toothbrush requires a very considered approach and some basic knowledge.
Every toothbrush has a handle and a working part – a head with bristles. Nowadays, an assortment of toothbrushes of different shapes and sizes of the head, hardness and length of the bristles, sizes and shapes of the handle, are offered in our market of dental care products. The head of the toothbrush can be straight or angled. For many decades, only natural material was used for the bristles, but recently it was proven that synthetic fibers (such as nylon, derlon, nerlon, polyurethane, etc.) are better for the most effective brushing as these materials are less sensitive to moisture and do not get broken easily.
It is possible to classify manual toothbrushes according to the hardness of the bristles as the following:

• Hard toothbrushes can be used only by those people whose teeth and gums are in a very good condition. These toothbrushes can do the most powerful massage of your gums.
• Medium toothbrushes can be used by the majority of people, especially by those who have never had any problem like bleeding gums.
• Soft toothbrushes can be used by children, pregnant women, as well as by the people who have periodontal disease, diabetes or other health problems.
• Extra soft toothbrushes can be used by people with serious dental problems.

Tips for choosing the best toothbrush:

• First of all, it is necessary to find a toothbrush with the head of proper size. Large toothbrushes can not access all the areas in your mouth, that is why you should prefer the brushes with smaller heads (around 1 inch in length and 1/2 inch in width).
• Another way to select the toothbrush of a good size is to be sure that its head does not cover more than three of your teeth.
• The best decision is to get a toothbrush with synthetic bristles since this material creates the least favorable environment for dangerous dental bacteria to develop.
• Choose a toothbrush with the head of rounded shape; otherwise, the brush can damage your gums.
• Hardness of the bristles must be selected taking into account the specifics of your teeth and gums.
• Choose a toothbrush with long and wide handle plated with rubber or other material for a firm and comfortable grasp.

Keep your toothbrush in an upright position in a safe and well-ventilated place. Do not put it into any case or holder, better keep it in a cup or use a special toothbrush protector. Do not forget to replace your toothbrush after two or three months of usage, when the bristles started looking worn out or when you recovered after any type of mouth infection. Also, you can sanitize your toothbrush once a week by placing it in hydrogen peroxide or in your dishwasher that runs at a temperature over 120 degrees (use dishwasher soap, not a liquid detergent).

20 Most Popular Myths about Dentistry

It seems like everything is known about the rules and recommendations on how to take care about our teeth effectively. However, day after day new versions of good old principles of dental care appear here and there. As a result, many people still remain confused about the basics of brushing, flossing, whitening and other dental care procedures. Check out the most popular dental myths and related comments of dental specialists.
MYTH: Brushing my teeth several times a day harms the enamel.
TRUTH: This is partially true. Usually, it is enough to brush your teeth two times a day, but if you have an opportunity to brush your teeth more frequently (for example, after every meal), use a soft or extra soft toothbrush.
MYTH: Expensive toothpastes are always better than cheap ones.
TRUTH: It is not always true, and some moderately expensive toothpastes can be very effective. Ask your dentist about the toothpastes that can be good for your particular dental situation.
MYTH: Using a sugarless chewing gum with xylitol after meal can replace brushing and have the same effect.
TRUTH: Not really, but if you can not brush your teeth after every meal, you can use a sugarless chewing gum to clean your teeth and refresh your breath. Do not chew it for more than 10 minutes.
MYTH: I must not brush my teeth if my gums bleed.
TRUTH: Bleeding gums is a sign to see your dentist. However, if you can not do this as soon as possible, you can brush your teeth with a soft or extra soft toothbrush.
MYTH: Placing a tablet of aspirin beside my aching tooth can ease the pain.
TRUTH: Aspirin does not work effectively for relieving toothache. Besides, it damages soft tissues in you mouth. Therefore, it is better to use natural analgesics, such as clover oil or tea tree oil.
MYTH: There is no need in seeing dentist if there is no visible problem with my teeth.
TRUTH: You must see your dentist twice a year, no matter in what condition your teeth are at the moment. Sometimes, only a dentist can see possible problem, and it is always better to start treatment on the earliest stages.
MYTH: If tooth enamel is white, the tooth must be considered healthy.
TRUTH: This is absolutely not true! A tooth can look healthy and white, but, at the same time, it can have cavities, problems with the root or other abnormalities that require treatment.
MYTH: After a decayed tooth is treated, there will be no more decaying there.
TRUTH: There is no guarantee for this. After the treatment, every tooth must be properly cared about: regularly brushed, flossed and so on.
MYTH: It is better to treat a decaying tooth rather then opt for removing it.
TRUTH: Before making a decision whether to continue treatment or remove an aching tooth you have to consult a qualified dental professional and, possibly, ask for the opinion of several specialists. Sometimes, even totally decayed tooth can be restored, and, at the same time, there are situations when even a healthy looking tooth must be extracted.
MYTH: It is better to remove wisdom teeth because they usually cause problems.
TRUTH: Do not extract your wisdom teeth until you have started having real problems with them.
MYTH: Good dental health can be inherited.
TRUTH: Such factor as inheritance plays minor role for good dental health of people. The main rules are to maintain proper oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly.
MYTH: Eating a lot of chocolate brings to tooth decay.
TRUTH: No, it does not, but if you do not brush your teeth or at least rinse your mouth every time after eating chocolate, you are at much higher risk to get tooth decay.
MYTH: Eating too hot or too cold meals can harm my teeth.
TRUTH: Only regular eating too hot or too cold meals can be harmful for your teeth and dental nerves.
MYTH: Using toothpicks after meals can widen the gaps between my teeth.
TRUTH: Using usual toothpicks can not have such effects, but you must be very careful when using toothpicks because they can damage the gums and other soft tissues in your mouth.
MYTH: Teeth whitening is harmful as it can damage the enamel.
TRUTH: Modern methods of teeth whitening, including laser teeth whitening or Air Flow technique, have minimal harmful effects. Nevertheless, one must remember that teeth whitening can not be recommended for many people, especially for those who has sensitive teeth, problematic enamel, underdeveloped tooth tissues, as well as for pregnant and nursing women.
MYTH: After any bleaching procedure teeth do not remain shining white for long time.
TRUTH: In average, the effect can last for about a year or so, but after every following bleaching procedure the duration of the effects usually decreases.
MYTH: It is not harmful to whiten your teeth with usual sodium bicarbonate.
TRUTH: It is, actually, very harmful, because sodium bicarbonate we use for baking has very strong abrasive effects. If you want to whiten your teeth in an easy way, use special whitening toothpastes with bicarbonate. Such toothpastes contain much smaller particles of bicarbonate and they do not damage teeth that much.
MYTH: There is no need in taking care about the teeth of my baby because in some years they are going to fall out.
TRUTH: This is absolutely wrong from a variety of perspectives. First of all, if you do not take care about premature teeth, they may fall out before the time and cause problems with bite or improper development of your child’s permanent teeth. Besides, it is necessary to start educating your children to maintain good dental and oral hygiene since early childhood.
MYTH: It is necessary to avoid dental procedures during pregnancy.
TRUTH: Regular dental treatment must not be avoided by pregnant women, but there is a number of procedures, such as X-rays or surgical dental procedures, which must be postponed for pregnant women.
MYTH: Any type of dental treatment is very painful.
TRUTH: Not anymore. Advanced dental technologies allow making dental treatment not painful by using anesthetic agents.

Tips for Developing Smart Eating Habits Ensuring Your Oral Health

As an important supplement for usual procedures of oral hygiene, effective dental care requires developing healthy eating habits. Unfortunately, the realities of our life and such social factors as our age, socio-economic status, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, housing and so on, impact our eating habits a lot. Besides, such phenomena as advertising and social trends influence our eating habits, too. For instance, many people eat Chinese food because it is considered to be trendy.
However, nowadays, social influences started affecting our eating behavior to a great extent. For example, we often have no time for cooking healthy homemade meals and choose to eat in fast food restaurants or have snacks, which seriously harm our teeth and digestive system. In addition, modern young people live their life at night like owls, and this makes them eat and drink very late. Is it a healthy eating habit? Certainly not! That is why, unfortunately, the majority of eating habits of modern youth can hardly meet the requirements of healthy nutrition strategies and dietary recommendations.
It is especially important to educate your children for healthy eating habits and make them watch what they eat in order to take care about their teeth and gums. Childhood and adolescence are the most important times in everyone’s life from the perspectives of formation of human body and human psychology. That is why all good healthy habits must be established since early childhood, and all parents have to monitor closely eating behaviors of their children and be concerned about their dental and overall health.
Tips for developing good eating habits as important elements of dental care:

• Try to decrease consumption of the foods and drinks with high content of sugar and acids, such as candies, chocolate, jams, various juicy deserts, lemons, and so on.
• Try to decrease consumption of carbonated drinks as they are harmful for your teeth.
• Avoid chewing hard foods, as well as cracking with your teeth such foods as nuts, dry beans, etc.
• Avoid eating snacks between your daily meals as snacking considerably increases your risks to get tooth decay.
• If you can not give up snacking, eat some fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Avoid binge eating and junk food.
• If you suffer an eating disorder, learn how to protect your teeth in every particular situation.
• Try to enrich your daily diet with fresh vegetables, berries, bread and cereals, cheese, milk and yogurt, meat, fish, mushrooms and other foods with proteins and xylitol.
• Finally, make it a habit to rinse your mouth with a mouthwash or drinking water after every meal or snack.

After you have started observing these simple recommendations, it will not take a lot of time for you to notice the improvements of your oral and general health. Eating the foods enriched with vitamins and proteins, as well as balanced and regular nutrition must become essential elements of your daily dental care. In addition, healthy eating behavior will help you to decrease the risks of obesity, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even cancer. Stick to these simple principles of eating and your excellent health will be the best reward for all your efforts.

Poor Dental Care Increases The Risks Of Heart Attack In Older Women

American specialists recently published the findings of their new study suggesting that regular dental check-ups and proper dental care can substantially decrease the risks of heart disease and other serious heart problems in women above 55. The research was carried out by a groups of American dental specialists who thoroughly reviewed medical records of over 7 thousand senior Americans (aged 45-88). The information used for this study had been collected for nine years.
According to a recent issue of Health Economics magazine, the researchers are convinced that there are obvious connections between proper dental care and lower risks of heart disease. It was known before that such dental problem as gum disease and other dental infections may trigger heart disease. After analyzing the data of the large amount of people, American dental specialists came up with the conclusion that those ladies who visit their dental specialists once per six months and take a proper dental care have almost 35% lower risks of serious heart problems like stroke and heart disease.
The leaders and supporters of the scientific group were pretty much impressed and enthused by the findings of the study. According to Dr. Maria Emanuel Ryan, a professor at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, this research “confirms the findings of some of the studies conducted in the insurance industry, which suggest that the medical costs for cardiac care and diabetes are reduced in patients who have regular dental visits.” Dr. Stephen Brown, West Virginia University, commented on the study as the following: “We think the findings reflect differences in how men and women develop cardiovascular disease.”
It is necessary to mention that this study has not shown that proper dental care, regular brushing, flossing and visiting dentist can improve heart health of modern older women by decreasing the risks of stroke and heart disease. Also, there was no evidence found that regular dental check-ups and dental care can have the same effects on older men. However, there’s no doubt that dental care is extremely beneficial at any age, and the present findings can definitely help in making it even more effective for all of us.

Android Tweetdeck and Meebo App

This holiday season you finally received the Android device you have been waiting for. You might be wondering which apps to download. Considering the wide variety that the Android Market offers, deciding which apps to download first could be a daunting task. Many Android device owners will use them for productivity. It's safe to say, however, that many others will use them for social purposes as well. With that said, here are a couple of social apps that you should look into getting for your Android device right off the bat.Tweetdeck


If you cannot be separated from your Twitter account for long, Tweetdeck is the perfect app for you.  For starters, Tweetdeck is not limited to Twitter. It allows you to integrate your Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, and Foursquare accounts into a single, streamlined app for your social networking needs. Rather than having to sign into each of your accounts separately, Tweetdeck allows you to sign into and sync all of your accounts at once with a single password. So that you do not confuse accounts across the various sites, the app displays icons to help you differentiate between friends and items from Facebook, Twitter, and the other two supported sites.
Tweetdeck offers plenty of customization in terms of its sound and look as well. You can customize the frequency in which you receive updates, and choose between different sounds, vibrations, and lighting for each of your displayed columns. If you are looking for a specific friend or contact to send a message to, the app displays them all in an integrated, concise list for quick access. You also get live Geo data where you can track the locations of your friends' tweets, their check-ins, and more. Tweetdeck's integration of different sites, its customization tools, and ease of use make it a great first app to download in the social networking arena.
Meebo
Social networks like Facebook and Twitter have taken the online world by storm, but they are not the only methods of communication that exist. Instant messaging is still going strong, and if you are like many people, you probably have various IM accounts spread across different messaging providers. Rather than being prehistoric and using a separate client per account, why not integrate them all into one easy to use platform? It makes sense to do so, and with the Meebo app for Android, you can do it easily.
Meebo is a free download that lets you access your various instant messaging accounts with a simple log-in. Adding accounts to Meebo is simple, and once finished, it will integrate them all into a streamlined interface that helps you view and chat will all of your online contacts. You won't have to worry about missing any important messages, because Meebo tracks history and stays connected no matter where you are. For more sensible organization, the app also keeps your recent conversations at the top of your buddy list in case you need to chat with that recent contact in a hurry. Meebo's easy setup and integration make it another solid choice that you should consider as a social app download for your Android device.

”Mouse”, tak Sekadar Pelengkap Komputer bagi para pengguna komputer tentu sudah mengenal benda bernama mouse. Perangkat keras yang satu ini memang wajib dimiliki. Walaupun sebuah komputer masih bisa dijalankan tanpanya, bisa dibayangkan betapa repotnya para pengguna komputer untuk mengoperasikan sistem secara cepat dan normal.

Sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh Stanford Research Institute pada 1963, kemudahan mengoperasikan komputer makin nyata dengan hadirnya mouse.


Evolusi mouse pun berkembang seiring kemajuan zaman. Kini, mouse tak hanya "klik" kiri dan "klik" kanan. Berbagai fitur tambahan disematkan demi kepentingan pasar. Berbagai vendor terkemuka pun berlomba mengembangkan teknologinya demi menggaet konsumen.

Rancang bentuknya memang didesain khusus untuk penderita Parkinson dan artisis.Pengguna cukup menggerakkan tangannya seperti ketika ia berjabat tangan dengan orang lain. Dua klik dan scroll wheel pun tersedia. Cuma, letaknya bukan di samping, melainkan di bagian bawah. Cara menggerakkan kursornya sama seperti mouse konvensional. Desainer AirO2bic telah menggelar riset selama dua bulan. Hasilnya, mouse ini membantu penderita Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), penyakit penyempitan saraf medianus di sekitar pergelangan tangan yang muncul karena aktivitas berlebih. Dengan rajin-rajin menggunakan mouse ini, gejala umum penyakit yang muncul karena aktivitas berlebih itu bakal berkurang.

Dentists Blame Financial Stresses For Increased Occurrence Of Bruxism

Have you ever thought that such thing as financial crises can cause you not only being no able to cover up your dental care expenses, but cause other physical problems for your pearly whites? In what way, you may ask. Dental specialists from the Irish Dental Association (IDA) can tell you how: when you are stressed out by your financial problems, when you see that you can buy less and less goods for the money you are receiving, you tend to literally grinding your teeth and wearing your teeth up.
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is quite a common dental problem nowadays which affects dental health of quite a lot of people. The IDA specialists say that in their country, which suffered a very serious impact by the international financial crisis for the last couple of years, every every one of five persons in Ireland grinds the teeth at night. If you wake up in the morning with a terrible headache, jaw aches, mouth or ear pains, you can have this problem as well. Usually, bruxism is linked to various health conditions and factors like severe depression, anxiety, prolonged stresses, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine abuse, and so on. More factors contributing to teeth grinding embrace recreational drug use, including ecstasy and cocaine.
“Stress and drug use are a dangerous combination at the best of times, but people often do not realise the effect this can have on their dental health. If people are suffering from any of the symptoms outlined above, then not only should they see their medical doctor, but they should also visit their dentist for a check-up as soon as possible as bruxism can cause long-term damage,” says Doctor Dermot Canavan of the IDA. Dr. Canavan stresses out on the problem and asks all modern people to pay more attention to unconscious behaviors of theirs and their partners. Fortunately, such problem as teeth grinding can be prevented and solved by using several techniques like special mouth guards or splints.

Jamur Tahi Sapi (Jamur Tlethong)

Jamur ini bukanlah jenis jamur yang biasa kita makan, melainkan jamur yang dapat menimbulkan halusinasi. Sebagian besar jamur halusinogenik tergolong dalam genus Psilocybin. Berdasarkan etimologi, psilocybin berasal dari bahasa Yunani, psilo yang artinya botak, dan cybe yang artinya kepala. Penamaan ini dibuat karena beragam varietas mushroom yang tergolong dalam genus psilocybe memiliki satu kesamaan pada bentuk kepalanya. Sejarah. Dahulu kala, jamur ini digunakan sebagai sumber inspirasi kesenian batu pada zaman prasejarah di Afrika Utara. Beberapa lukisan batu mesolitik telah diidentifikasi oleh Giorgio Samorini sebagai perwujudan ketuhanan atau ritual (shaman) dari penggunaan mushroom tersebut. Spesies halusinogenik dari psilocybin mushroom juga telah lama digunakan oleh penduduk asli Mesoamerika dalam pertemuan agama, ritual ketuhanan, dan penyembuhan dari masa pre-Columbia hingga saat ini.
Saat ini, mushroom sering disalahgunakan, khususnya oleh para remaja dengan tujuan non-medis agar dapat mengubah suasana hati (mood), mengubah persepsi diri dan atau dunia sekeliling, memperoleh sensasi dan pengalaman “baru” dan “romantis” serta untuk meningkatkan kemampuan fungsi spesifik di bidang sosial dan seksual.
JAMUR biasanya bisa dimakan atau layak konsumsi meski ada juga yang beracun. Nah kalo jamur yang satu ini layak komsumsi atau beracun yah? Buat yang suka bepergian ke pantai, pasti ngeh deh dengan jamur satu ini.
Magic mushroom dapat tumbuh di dalam iklim mana pun, di pegunungan maupun di pinggir pantai. Tempatnya tumbuh mungkin akan sangat menjijikkan bagi sebagian besar orang, di kotoran sapi atau di kotoran banteng. Akan tetapi, tempatnya tumbuh itu tidak membuat jamur tersebut kehilangan penggemar.
Penggemar magic mushroom biasanya akan menunjuk Pantai Pangandaran sebagai tempat jamur ajaib terbaik karena di sana ada banteng liar. Kabarnya, jamur yang tumbuh di kotoran banteng memiliki efek yang lebih dahsyat dibandingkan dengan jamur yang tumbuh di kotoran sapi peternakan.
Jamur itu digunakan dengan cara dimasak terlebih dahulu atau dijadikan jus. Para penggemar magic mushroom biasanya lebih menyukai mencampur jamur itu dengan telur, lalu dimasak menjadi omelet atau dadar telur.
Sebagian lagi lebih suka mencampurnya ke dalam mi instan atau dibuat menjadi jus. Akan tetapi, ada yang lebih ekstrem yaitu memakan jamur itu mentah-mentah sesaat setelah dipetik dari kotoran sapi.
Sesaat setelah memakan jamur itu, orang akan mulai berhalusinasi, mengalami euforia (senang yang berlebihan), atau sebaliknya mengalami kesedihan yang berlebihan. Indra perasa, terutama kulit dan lidah akan menjadi lebih sensitif. Saat dalam pengaruh jamur, penggunanya menjadi lebih individual atau asyik dengan dunianya sendiri.
Keseluruhan efek jamur itu akan terasa selama empat sampai delapan jam. Walau berhalusinasi, penggunanya masih sadar. Yang menjadi persoalan, dia akan sulit mengontrol pikiran dan imajinasinya. Setelah efek jamur habis, penggunanya akan merasa sangat lelah.
Di Indonesia, informasi mengenai dampak yang bisa ditimbulkan oleh magic mushroom bagi kesehatan masih sangat minim. Walaupun sebenarnya Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB) melalui International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) sudah mengeluarkan kajian tentang magic mushroom itu.
Menurut kajian INCB, magic mushroom tidak termasuk di dalam benda atau bahan narkotik yang berada di bawah kontrol Konvensi Obat Psikotropika tahun 1971. Konvensi PBB itu telah diratifikasi oleh banyak negara untuk dijadikan dasar hukum dalam penindakan terhadap penjual narkotik.
Disebutkan, efek yang terasa oleh pengguna sama dengan efek jika menggunakan obat psikotropika seperti LSD karena memiliki kandungan kimia yang sama, yaitu psilocin dan psilocybin. Akan tetapi, kandungan kimia di dalam tubuh akan cepat hilang dan hanya akan terdeteksi dalam kurun waktu tiga hari hingga seminggu.
Karena dampaknya yang dianggap rendah, magic mushroom dinyatakan legal di Eropa. Namun demikian, Inggris dan Amerika Serikat menyatakan magic mushroom sebagai benda ilegal jika telah diolah menjadi barang lain.
Di Indonesia, Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN) memiliki pendapat yang berlainan dengan pendapat INCB maupun komisi kesehatan Uni Eropa. Berbeda dengan INCB yang menggolongkan magic mushroom ke dalam benda atau bahan psikotropika, di Indonesia, magic mushroom digolongkan ke dalam zat adiktif.
Perbedaan ini menjadi sangat krusial karena penggolongan benda berbahaya pada dasarnya disesuaikan dengan efek yang ditimbulkannya. BNN mengelompokkan magic mushroom bersama dengan alkohol, rokok, dan obat-obatan yang menyebabkan kecanduan. Dengan kata lain, jamur itu dipandang sebagai barang yang bisa membuat kecanduan. Padahal, berdasarkan kajian INCB, magic mushroom nyaris tidak mungkin menyebabkan kecanduan.
Duh jadi bingung nih, jadinya legal atau illegal yah? Daripada bingung mending hindarin aja deh, lagian tetep ada kok ada efek psikotropikanya. Pastinya enggak baik buat tubuh .
Efek sampingnya
Lembaga Nasional Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja, cabang dari Pusat Kendali Penyakit (CDC), menilai bahwa psilocybin kurang beracun dibanding aspirin dan kafein. Psilocybin juga tidak mengakibatkan ketagihan karena bukan termasuk golongan psychoactive, melainkan psychedelic. Efek intoksikasi dari mushroom yang mengandung psilocybin berlangsung antara dua sampai tujuh jam tergantung dari dosis pemakaian, metode penggunaan, dan metabolisme perorangan.
Umumnya, onset dari magic mushroom di dalam tubuh berkisar antara 10-40 menit ketika dikunyah dan dibiarkan di mulut hingga larut, dan berkisar antara 20-60 menit ketika ditelan dalam keadaan lambung kosong. Sedangkan tubuh akan kembali normal setelah 6-8 jam.
Beberapa efek yang khas dari magic mushroom:
Distorsi visual, seolah-olah dinding bernafas dan terjadi pergerakan pada pola yang tenang (khususnya pola garis-garis, kompleks, dan geometris). Pepohonan dan alam raya terlihat seperti mengeluarkan kobaran api atau pusaran air.
Senyum dan tawa yang tidak bisa dikontrol
Terurainya objek yang jauh menjadi garis pembentuknya
Sensitivitas yang meningkat saat menyentuh (khususnya menyentuh benda dengan tekstur yang menarik perhatian dan memiliki politur atau lapisan penutup)
Sensitivitas yang meningkat untuk mengecap, merasakan tekstur dan temperatur yang ada di dalam mulut
Pendengaran menjadi lebih sensitif (mendengarkan musik seperti baru pertama kali mendengarnya)
Halusinasi pendengaran (seolah mendengar suara dengan pitch yang tinggi pada latar belakang, suara logam yang bergema seperti berada dalam terowongan metalik, atau suara patahan)
Perasaan cahaya terang di sekitar yang ekstrim
Tampak visualisasi saat mata tertutup
Perasaan seperti ditekan gaya kinetik yang sangat kuat
Berbicara yang tak tentu arah, kesulitan dalam fokus untuk menjelaskan suatu hal
Lebih gampangnya, dapat dikatakan bahwa penggunaan mushroom memiliki beberapa efek yang cenderung bersifat positif yakni pemikiran yang dalam, kreatif dan filosofis; ide mudah mengalir; hal-hal atau tugas yang membosankan menjadi lebih menyenangkan dan lucu; perasaan mendapat ilham; pengalaman spiritual yang mengubah hidup; dan keingintahuan yang mendalam.
Mengenai distorsi, selain distorsi ruang, pengguna magic mushroom juga akan mengalami perubahan persepsi terhadap waktu. Waktu terasa berlalu dengan sangat lambat, menit terasa seperti jam. Sehingga gangguan pada pengguna mushroom meliputi area empat dimensi, panjang kali lebar kali tinggi kali waktu, atau lebih sederhananya dimensi ruang dan waktu.
Penting !!!
Jangan pernah mencoba tanpa informed consent, maksudnya bila Anda ingin mencoba, Anda harus mengetahui dasar ilmunya, untuk apa, dan bagaimana resikonya. Anda harus dalam keadaan sadar penuh untuk membuat keputusan
Jangan pernah mencoba magic mushroom sendirian, karena dapat menyebabkan paranoid. Magic mushroom akan mengeluarkan semua yang ada di hati Anda. Bila lagi senang luapan euphoria. Bila lagi sedih luapan depresi dan kesedihan. Anda bisa saja melihat wajah Anda sendiri di cermin seperti setan atau bahkan yang paling parah Anda bisa melakukan percobaan bunuh diri. So be careful!!!
Be responsible for what you’ve done

jamur dari kotoran kerbau

Apa itu Jamur taik kerbau? Jamur ini merupakan satu jenis jamur yang bisa bikin orang dalam kondisi trence, biasa di sebut juga sebagai jamur penghayal (hallucinogenic mushroom)

Jamur ini berasal dari trah Jamur tryptamine, yang berarti mengandung zat psylocibine atau zat sejenis alkaloid (nitrogen yang ditemukan di alam).



Psilocybe/psylocibine: berasal dari bahasa yunani psilos dan kube yang berarti kepala gundul. Dimana dapat terlihat dari tampilan eksotis berbagai jamur ini yang berpayung gundul di sertai motif polka dot di sekelilingnya.

Psilocybin dan temannya psilocin keduanya mengandung alkaloid. Patut digaris bawahi, pada sekitar pertengahan 70-an di Amerika dengan Green Peace-nya yang mengumandangkan era kebebasan berekspresi ala psychedelic, telah menyepakati penggunaan akhiran –ine pada berbagai jenis psikotropika yang mengandung zat alkaloid, contohnya morphine, heroine, caffeine, amphetamine. Psilocybin dan psilocin pun ‘seharusnya’ juga di beri nama psilocibine dan psilocine, namun sampai saat ini belum lo, entah kenapa.

Jamur Penghayal (hallucinogenic mushroom) sendiri di tengarai sudah eksis dari jaman baheula, dan digunakan seiring perkembangan kebudayaan dan spiritual manusia.

Dalam sebuah penelitian misalnya, di sebuah goa tepatnya di sahara, gambar jamur penghayal terpampang di dinding goa tersebut. Sedangkan penelitian lain menemukan bahwa para dukun di Siberia diketahui menggunakan salah satu jenis dari jamur penghayal sebagai media untuk membuka pintu masuk ke dunia maya yang menghubungkan mereka dengan sang pencipta (You know what, it’s Grazy you know!).

Singkat definisi mengenai Cow shit mushroom as known as Jamur taik kerbau merupakan sejenis jamur yang tumbuh dan hidup diatas permukaan kotoran hewan pemamah biak macam sapi, kerbau, dan lain sejenisnya (gatau kalo kambing, belom pernah denger jamur taik kambing). Seperti juga jenis jamur Psilocybin lainnya yang berkepala gundul dan bermotif polkadot, jamur taik kerbau ini warnanya putih dan berbau tajam, sama persis bau nya dengan tempat tinggal mereka. Taik kebo.

Dan perlu diketahui “actually the death ‘shrooms generally don’t grow in cow pies. It’s pretty easy to tell what’s what. Just make sure they all bruise blue”, akan tetapi jangan gegabah dengan langsung memakannya mentah-mentah, karena di tengarai ada beberapa jamur dan parasit lain yang ikut tumbuh di jamur taik kerbau ini, dan di duga mengandung racun yang diindikasikan dapat mematikan. Cuci dan masak lah terlebih dahulu, baru di campur ke bahan makanan yang telah di sediakan sebagai penambah nafsu makan, met berwisata kuliner sob. Enjoy it!

Jamurnya diambil dari kotoran kerbau yang udah kering banget. Tumbuhnya ga mesti, emang jarang dan susah banget ketemunya kalo ga musim kemarau panjang, itupun juga kalau jamurnya ada. Jamur ini nggak beracun (selama ini siih.., ga tau besok2 hi..hi), hanya bikin kita menjadi ‘sesuatu’… mungkin istilahnya aja kita pake ‘bikin teler’ tapi benernya nggak juga, pokoknya ‘sesuatu’ yang aneh dan ya
mantaf...

Dari pengalaman teman yang telah mencicipi, jamur ini waktuitu disajikan dengan telur
dimasak seperti omlet
lalu dimakan seperti biasa. tak lama setelah makan, efek nya lebih dari ganja.katanya efek 10 kali lipat dari ganja liat muka orang ga tau kenapa mau ketawa aja

Inside a custom computer.

Though a PC comes in many different forms, a typical personal computer consists of a case or chassis in a tower shape (desktop) and the following parts:


The motherboard is the main component inside the case. It is a large rectangular board with integrated circuitry that connects the rest of the parts of the computer including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others) as well as any peripherals connected via the ports or the expansion slots. Computer Hardware course is very important for the future because they are now essential in business.

Components directly attached to the motherboard include:

* The central processing unit (CPU) performs most of the calculations which enable a computer to function, and is sometimes referred to as the "brain" of the computer. It is usually cooled by a heat sink and fan.
* The chip set mediates communication between the CPU and the other components of the system, including main memory.
* RAM Stores all running processes (applications) and the current running OS. RAM Stands for Random Access Memory
* The BIOS includes boot firmware and power management. The Basic Input Output System tasks are handled by operating system drivers.
* Internal Buses connect the CPU to various internal components and to expansion cards for graphics and sound.
o Current
+ The north bridge memory controller, for RAM and PCI Express
# PCI Express, for expansion cards such as graphics and physics processors, and high-end network interfaces
+ PCI, for other expansion cards
+ SATA, for disk drives
o Obsolete
+ ATA (superseded by SATA)
+ AGP (superseded by PCI Express)
+ VLB VESA Local Bus (superseded by AGP)
+ ISA (expansion card slot format obsolete in PCs, but still used in industrial computers)
* External Bus Controllers support ports for external peripherals. These ports may be controlled directly by the south bridge I/O controller or based on expansion cards attached to the motherboard through the PCI bus.
Power supply
Main article: Power supply unit (computer)

A power supply unit (PSU) is the component that supplies power to the other components in a computer. More specifically, a power supply unit is typically designed to convert general-purpose alternating current (AC) electric power from the mains (100-127V in North America, parts of South America, Japan, and Taiwan; 220-240V in most of the rest of the world) to usable low-voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer. Some power supplies have a switch to change between 230 V and 115 V. Other models have automatic sensors that switch input voltage automatically, or are able to accept any voltage between those limits.
[edit] Video display controller
Main article: Graphics card

Produces the output for the computer monitor. This will either be built into the motherboard or attached in its own separate slot (PCI, PCI-E, PCI-E 2.0, or AGP), in the form of a graphics card..
