Alangkah Lucunya Negeri Ini - Film Tax credit financing for film, animation, and digital media productions continues to be a sought after financing by Canadian entrepreneurs.

Canadian entrepreneurs are fortunate in that a number of recent changes have been made to enhance the overall viability of Film and Television tax credits in Canada.

Using Ontario as an example in March 2010 the government enacted legislation that increased Ontario Computer Animation credits. Therefore financing of such projects simply brings in additional capital. As an example labour expenditures which are qualified and vetted increase to 100% for arms length employees who don't have incorporation status – for example 'freelancers'.

In the animation and visual effects area there was a government focus to remove the requirement that effects had to ' primarily ' be completed with digital technologies.

How can these film tax, TV tax credits, and digital media credits be financed. Financing these tax credits is a very boutique business in Canada. Entrepreneurs and their advisors are cautioned and advised to work with credible, experienced specialists in this niche financing area.

The film tax credit financing (as well as animation, TV, etc) is essentially a bridge loan when your production entity has a financing need. . The amount financed can be a combination of federal and provincial claims, and it generally recommended that the total value of our claim be in the 200, 00.00$ range, which would be a combination of both the federal and provincial portions of your credit.

We meet with many firms who also have needs for other types of financing, which would include separate SR ED (SR&ED) tax credits, equipment financing, etc. It would sometime make prudent sense to consider a financing that satisfied the complete needs of the company or production.

The hottest new sectors of tax credit financing are the popular animation, virtual reality and of course gaming areas of consumer entertainment.

Naturally to be able to finance a claim our tax credit must be reviewed and processed by the appropriate tax credit office, for example the Ontario ' OMDC ' tax credits & Financing Programs Dept '.

In our work with clients we advise that it typically takes 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer to finance a tax credit. This process should not be daunting for the entrepreneur or your production company, as it mirrors any other financing business might undertake- for example an application form, due diligence, legal documentation of the financing, etc.

We would point out though that the main emphasis on the financeability of your claim is the actual tax credit itself, as in many cases the product has not 'gone to market 'so to speak.

Financing your film, multimedia, and TV tax credits is a great way to access bridge capital and allow our entity to immediately access funds, as opposed to waiting for funds until post production and commercialization.

Talk to a film tax credit financing expert and you are on the way to a unique method of financing your productions.

Point Blank Download - Now we see thousands of people playing online games such as tetris, ping pong, mario bros, super mario etc for free but despite its history dating back to 1970s, for most people online gaming began with the explosion of Internet in 1993 and with the advent of Doom and Warcraft sometime in 1994 or 1995. This got further boost with publishers starting to add Internet connectivity to computer games in 1994-95.

Point Blank - The media, in fact, have themselves been ignorant about online games history. As far as they are concerned, online gaming just coincidentally happened when their advertisers started producing Internet-capable games. But it isn’t so…

Early Years of development

In early 1950’s a college student created a game much like Tic-Tac-Toe for a class project to be played on dinosaur computers of those days complete with cathode ray tubes for the screen display. The 1960’s had MIT students programming a game called “Space war” that could be played with two people over a primitive network. The late 1960’s brought the first “real” video games like table tennis and shooter games.

The 70s – the game begins

Serious online gaming began with the first interactive online game called ADVENT. In fact networked gaming got conceptualized with ADVENT. Networked gaming had users playing against each other within an online fantasy world. The first networked game was called Mazewar, a game which involved networked players traveling through a maze and attempting to kill one another.

Next came the interpersonal interaction in a multi-player environment. The first such game was called DUNGEN. DUNGEN had players competing against one another to complete a series of quests. DUNGEN provided with new settings and players each time the user logged on.

The late 1970’s saw the start of video game craze with more and more households getting computer savvy. As a natural corollary, people started writing their own games for the home computers. These programming hobbyists traded and sold these home-grown games in local markets.

Other changes in the 1970’s were home gaming consoles which used game cartridges. That meant the people could collect games cartridges for one base unit instead of having bulky game console systems.

The 80s – some pause before the storm

1980’s saw growing craze for the video and computer game craze, but online gaming wasn’t on the horizon yet. New games with better sound and graphics were introduced and gained popularity. Pole Position and Pac-man were two that achieved big popularity. It was during 1980’s when Nintendo introduced its first gaming system.

The 90s – revolution begins

The 1990’s saw the phenomenal growth in both popularity and technology mostly because of the rise of 3-D and multimedia.

Myst, the intellectual adventure game introduced gaming on the CD-ROM format. Fancier 3-D graphics hardware made FPS (first person shooter) games such as Quake possible.

The late 1990’s saw the exponential growth of the Internet, MUDs (multi-user dungeons) which made online games wildly popular. New and improved graphical interfaces had people all over the world playing against each other not only in FPS games but also in real time strategy games (RTS games) as well as third person games like Grand Theft Auto.

This was also the period when websites started offering online games such as tetris, ping pong, mario bros, super Mario, and other free online flash games and non-flash based games free for playing after registering with them. This really pushed online gaming into the popular psyche.

The 21st Century – world is just a playground

Early years of the 21st century were dominated by the DVD-CD-ROM. It has changed the way online games are played. The latest gaming systems such as Sony’s play station and Microsoft’s X-box have networking capabilities to enable people play with each other in real time from all over the world. Exponentially growing broadband internet services have made playing these online games possible in true sense of the word.

The only drawback to the constantly evolving technology for online games is that what you buy today might become obsolete by the next year. Luckily, for the serious gamers, the resale industry for these online games is huge. This resale industry is just another element to the ever-changing history of online game.

In fact, he has written in his blog that will come to Jakarta. "I" m going to Jakarta today! "He wrote in the blog.

That most scenes in the movie kidnap dilakoni Ozawa Miyabi. Entire scenes involving him in Japan. Another scene that made Ozawa just calling to confirm booking a ticket to Jakarta. Final scene, he gives an invitation to the lottery winners are described in an apartment in Jakarta.

However, Ozawa was wrong to give the invitation. Invitation should be given to fans at the apartment number six. But, he actually gave to Kevin (Nicky Tirta), Ben (Hardi Fadillah), and Aan (Farish Nahdi) in apartment number nine. Because it is too hard to close the door, door number 9 is attached upside down to six.

Later, more film tells the story of Kevin, Ben, and Aan. They are a big fan of Ozawa. Knowing his idol stars going to Jakarta, they want to see up close. All three went to the airport.

Apparently, many fans who waited there, carrying posters. That's where there was chaos. There was a lady from Taiwan who want to vacation in Jakarta. From afar, his face was like Miyabi.

By Kevin, Ben, and Aan, Mie Bie Yao finally put into a car and taken away. Yao Bie Mie who finally played a lot here, not the Miyabi aka Maria Ozawa.

Estimation of the people has been exaggerated," said Ody Mulya Hidayat as a filmmaker after the film screenings at FX Plaza Sudirman, Thursday (6 / 5).

Then, what makes him so adamant in his film invites Miyabi play "To the extent he's bringing his team to shoot in Japan. In fact, in terms of story, the film comedy genre is not too strong.

"Of course the big name Miyabi. Filming we are currently receding. The audience fell. By taking Miyabi who already have big names, hopes to increase audience interest longer to come to the cinema," he explained.

Hasil UN 2010

2010-04-25T09:17:00.000-07:00

Hasil UN 2010 - Kepala Dinas Pendidikan Sulbar Jamil Barambangi optimistis tingkat kelulusan ujian nasional (UN) di Sulbar bisa mencapai 95 persen.Menurut Jamil, Selasa (20/4/2010) siang tadi, dengan matangnya persiapan sekolah-sekolah yang ada di seluruh Sulbar menjelang UN, ia yakin tingkat kelulusan tahun ini meningkat dibanding tahun-tahun sebelumnya.

Ujian Nasional - Rencana pengumuman kelulusan untuk tingkat SMA dan sederajat adalah pada tanggal 24 April nanti, makanya, kata Jamil disinilah nanti dilihat seberapa besar target yang bisa dicapai.

Sedangkan pada 5 Mei dijadwalkan pengulangan ujian bagi siswa yang tidak lulus UN.
Yang memeriksa jawaban hasil UN adalah UNM. Lalu setelah itu diserahkan ke depdiknas untuk dilakukan skoring dan di sinilah ditentukan kelulusan.

Sebanyak 60 siswa SMP/MTs yang tercatat sebagai peserta ujian nasional (UN) tahun 2010 dipastikan tidak lulus. Pasalnya, setelah mangkir pada UN utama yang dimulai akhir Maret lalu, 60 siswa itu kembali mangkir dalam kesempatan UN susulan yang mulai dilaksanakan awal pekan ini.

"Secara otomatis yang absen lagi pada UN susulan ini tidak akan lulus. Meskipun pengumuman hasil UN belum keluar, tapi ada soal ujian yang tidak dikerjakan secara otomatis mereka gugur," ujar Kepala Dinas Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Drs Bambang Aryawan MM yang dimintai konfirmasi melalui Kabid Pendidikan Menengah Drs Basuki Budi Raharjo, Selasa (6/4).

Lebih lanjut dijelaskan Basuki, pada hari pertama UN utama beberapa waktu lalu ada 79 siswa yang tidak hadir. Mereka masih diberikan kesempatan dengan mengikuti UN susulan. Tapi pada pelaksanaan hari pertama, Senin (5/4) kemarin hanya 19 siswa yang hadir. "Selebihnya absen tanpa keterangan," katanya.

Untuk hari kedua UN utama yang tidak hadir 81 siswa. Hari ini dilaksanakan UN susulan hari kedua. Hingga berita ini diturunkan, rekapitulasi kehadirian peserta belum masuk ke panitian ujian. Sedangkan hari ketiga UN utama yang tidak hadir 79 siswa.

Basuki memastikan, seluruh siswa reguler yang tidak mengikuti UN utama telah ikut UN susulan. 60 siswa yang tidak hadir pada UN susulan itu sebagian besar adalah siswa SMP terbuka dan siswa tahun lalu yang tidak lulus.

"Memang tidak mudah untuk meminta siswa SMP terbuka ikut ujian. Sedangkan siswa yang tahun lalu tidak lulus, oleh sekolahnya didaftarkan lagi sebagai peserta. Sebagian ada yang enggan ujian karena sudah bekerja dan sebagian sudah ikut ujian kejar paket. Nama mereka masih muncul karena tidak mengundurkan diri dari daftar peserta UN tahun 2010," paparnya.

Pada bagian lain Basuki mengungkapkan, pengumuman hasil UN yang keluar sebagai daftar kolektif hasil ujian nasional (DKHUN) pada 7 Mei mendatang. Peserta yang tidak lulus diberikan kesempatan lagi mengikuti UN ulangan yang digelar seminggu setelah pengumuman. "Hasil UN ulangan akan diumumkan selambat-lambatnya 12 Juni," katanya.

Diterangkan Basuki, UN bukan satu-satunya penentu kelulusan siswa, tapi hanya merupakan salah satu indikator lain. "Memang semua siswa harus lulus UN dengan nilai rata-rata minimal 4,25," katanya.

Namun, sambungnya, ada faktor lain yang menjadi pertimbangan sekolah dalam memutuskan lulus tidaknya siswa. Yakni harus memiliki nilai baik untuk seluruh mata pelajaran yang diujikan lewat ujian sekolah. Antara lain agama dan ahlak, pendidikan jasmani dan olahraga, serta mata pelajaran lain. "Jadi pelajaran agama juga menentukan kelulusan seorang siswa," tandasnya.

Mobile Phones

2010-04-20T21:45:00.000-07:00

Nokia X6 - T-Mobile Cell Phones has been an absolute beast when it comes to hitting all the markets for advertising. They pay an annual salary of $20 million to Catherine Zeta Jones for her commercials. She is a strong spokesperson but she is not the only one. The combination of Charles Barkley and Dwayne Wade is also there. The combo is certainly predictable being that they are both NBA basketball stars, though one is from the previous decade and the other is a current baller. However the two teaming up with T-Mobile is not such an obvious choice. But it works. In fact, both these ad campaigns are successful for different reasons, but both make T-Mobile Cell Phones a big timer in the industry.

Hp Nokia - Catherine Zeta Jones brings sex appeal to each and every campaign she touches. The best part of her appeal is the great array of people who are intrigued by her. The older men and younger men are both attracted to her. But women find her sophisticated and strong, too. She can really hit on a number of demographics. But no, she is not simply standing around in a bikini with T-Mobile Unlocked Cell Phones in her hands. Her commercials are in fact informative, which is a nice change to some advertising out there. But the information coupled with her seductive smile as well as the great features on some of the T-Mobile Cell Phones makes it a powerful campaign.

The Dwayne Wade and Charles Barkley commercials are definitely less informative but have a comedic quality to them that is undeniable. Well, pretty much anything Charles Barkley says is funny and if he's getting defensive or taken out of his comfort zone, then even better. Dwayne Wade on the other hand is just a straight up slick dude who oozes down to earth celebrity and incredible work ethic. But together, clowning on each other, and trying to break into the others Fave-Five, is at least amusing. They single-handedly made the Fave-Five a must have on T-Mobile Cell Phones. Not unlike Dwayne Wade single handedly taking down the Dallas Mavericks in the 2006 NBA Finals, but that's another story altogether.

Either way, both campaigns have different ways of reaching the same goal. And both seem very successful. They've indeed unlocked cell phones marketing secrets. While there is now way to see sales numbers before and after these ad campaigns I'd say that if both are still running after a few years on the air, then they must be somewhat effective. And in today's society, most people agree you need a cell phone, so what's wrong with getting one that fits you, even if you were nudged in that direction by an advertisement?

Contoh Naskah Pidato Bahasa Inggris - On Saturday, April 17, the new season of Doctor Who will begin on BBC America, and the American fans of the long-running science fiction show will get their first gander at the 11th actor to play the Timelord from Gallifrey, Matt Smith.

Contoh Naskah Pidato -For those who've never seen a single episode and know nothing about the show, The Doctor is an immortal who travels through time and space in his spaceship, the TARDIS, which looks a lot like a British police box on the outside, ending up in all sorts of dire predicaments. The series debuted on BBC in 1963 with William Hartnell in the lead role, and since then the show has been kept alive by a series of actors, allowing it to achieve a Guinness World Record as the longest running science fiction show on television. The coolest thing about the show in recent years is that BBC America has been releasing the new episodes in the States much closer to their UK counterpart, so the growing American fanbase hasn't had to wait for a year or more to see them, which used to be the case.

The news last year that 27-year-old Matt Smith would be taking over for the popular David Tennant was met with some skepticism due to his youthful looks, but then head writer Steven Moffat decided to shake things up further, promising to bring in a new TARDIS and taking out some of the old standbys like the Doctor's ever-present Sonic Screwdriver. Smith's Doctor would also be joined by his newest cute companion, Amy Pond, played by Karen Gillan.

Earlier this week, ComingSoon.net got on the phone with Moffat to talk about some of the changes and how they came about.

ComingSoon.net: I'm very excited about the new season. We're a week behind the UK as you probably know and I haven't seen anything yet unfortunately having missed it at WonderCon for various reasons. I know you've been a fan of "Doctor Who" and been involved with it so closely over the last couple of years. I understand the decision came out of casting a new "Doctor" but I understand you're changing a lot more than that, so why was now the time to do a reboot?
Steven Moffat: As David was leaving and you're going to have a big monumental change, then you think why not just go for it and change everything? We had to have a brand new cast and have a brand new companion at the same time, and it was just more exciting and more challenging to redo the lot. Also, if you know "Doctor Who," it's part of the DNA of the show that he does that. They just periodically throw everything out and just start again. That's one of the reasons he sort of never gets old, because he never is old. He's always quite recent. It almost is an opportunity for new members of the audience to come on board, because they think, "Well, this is a version I'll watch. This will be my Doctor." Chapter One is always the most exciting chapter of a book in a way, isn't it? Because it's the beginning and suddenly, you can go back and do it all again and I'd say that's what keeps this very, very old show very, very young.

CS: With David Tennant and the last few specials with him taking on the Master, you really hit a high watermark for the series in many ways, so is it hard starting again and do you have to start at a lower point so you can build up to something that big again?

Moffat: You haven't seen our first one yet. No, I think we manage fine with that. You know, the great thing with "Doctor Who" is it's always the end of the world. That's just another day at the office. I don't think you'll find it any more lacking in size or scale. I'm very very happy with what they're saying and that's fine, but the truth is, the big dilemma in the adventures the Doctor faces are just the means by which we know him. He's the exciting element rather than the big crisis. It's not so much what's ending the world and how the Doctor is gonna stop it. In our first episode, we have a Doctor freshly-regenerated with no time to recover and his TARDIS is wrecked, and he's just written off his screwdriver, and he's got 20 minutes to save the entire planet and he's stuck in a tiny, little village, and it's a real terrible first night for him.

CS: With that in mind, is it hard to maintain that kind of pace for an entire season or are you setting it up so you have some high points and some places where he can mellow out a little bit? What's the season gonna be like in general?

Moffat: Well, I mean, I think the arc of the Doctor is to hit as many high notes as you can really. It has to be something quite high-octane and the first six episodes, it's going like a train, and then Episode 7 is our first chance to catch breath, and then in the ninth episode, we have something a little bit gentler, I kind of think that if you want as many high points as possible, why not? It's that kind of a show. I mean, I always think every scene in "Doctor Who"--and this always been the case since the very early days of the show-- every "Doctor Who" kinda ended on an ominous cliff hanger. For eight-year-old watching that, they're not gonna put up with just people chatting.

CS: Right, so Matt's the 11th Doctor now. When people first saw his picture, many thought "Oh, he's really young," but in fact, he's 27, which isn't that young. What was it about him that made him the right person to replace David who had become so popular, especially here in the States?

Moffat: Well, this is a question that nobody really asks once they see him, and you won't either. Once you see him in action, you'll see what makes him the right guy. The age thing is irrelevant. In fact, as we were entering the casting process, I was more inclined to go a little bit older, like maybe mid-40's, for the Doctor. On the very first day, Matt came in, third person through the door, and he just got it. He just got it in spades. He just understood how he could play that part. It's hard to define what that is, maybe even slightly destructive to define what that is, but he just had the playfulness and the fun of the naughtiness. He's handsome, but he's handsome in a rather strange way. He's got cartoon hair and the mannerisms of a fussy old, nutty professor, but the body of a hot young fella. You know, how can that not be cast as the Doctor? And nobody else came close (Laughs) in just embodying the part. I swear, he's been a huge hit in Britain already. When you see him you'll think, "Oh, he is, of course. Well, yes." Casting Matt is honestly the biggest no-brainer of this whole process.

Moffat: Back in the day when William Hartnell was Doctor Who, I'm guessing the idea to have the Doctor regenerate was partially them needing a new actor to continue the show. At this point, how much of changing the Doctor is done creatively and how much is done just because an actor's contract has run out or he wants to move on? And how does it work creatively when you need to get a new Doctor?

Moffat: Well, I mean, it's just a challenge every single time you do it. It's not something you think, "Oh my god, we've gotta get a new star for this incredibly big show." Every single time I'm sure—I've only been included once--but every single time production teams have faced that challenge, it's probably seemed impossible. I mean, it is impossible until the second it becomes incredibly easy, because you see someone sitting across the room from you that's the right guy. It must have seemed impossible to replace Jon Pertwee and then in walked Tom Baker. That's what happens. It's impossible anyone could ever play James Bond except Sean Connery, isn't it? Except all the other James Bonds were also great. You just have that and there's always gonna be someone. You just have to find them.

CS: Is the biggest challenge as a writer to find them or to find a way to write for them that makes them a little different from the last one? Or does that stuff just work itself out?

Moffat: To be honest, I'm really using what is really quite essential and important (and that's that) he's the same man. There aren't eleven Doctors, there's one Doctor with eleven faces. So in a way, the purest way of writing the new doctor is simply to write the doctor as obviously and clearly as you can, and let the new actor embody that part different. Then as you start to get to know that new performance, then you start to tailor it to that actor, but you do that sort of unconsciously. You don't make conscious decisions. You just say like, "Well, he looks funny when he does that, or he sounds funny when he does this," and you go in those directions. The part on the paper doesn't look that different on the page. I was looking at some of the old Tom Baker scripts the other day. You know, we could give those scripts to Matt, and it would be fine. I would just come out very different, because Matt's a very different actor than Tom Baker, but it'd be fine. The Doctor Who's the Doctor, that's the most important thing.

CS: How hard is it for Matt to kind of create his own identity, because obviously when you have ten actors before you, you kind of want to continue that flow of the character, but also give it your own thing?

Moffat: Well, I think you should ask Matt that question, but I mean, you get the script and you play the ass off of it is the answer. He does it his own way. There's never any question of impersonating anyone or trying to be the same as the others. We also told him make it quite eccentric. I remember I said to him, "If you're gonna do this part, make it your own star vehicle. Make it you. Don't turn yourself into the Doctor, turn the Doctor into you." When an actor grabs a part and really makes it their own, what they do is they make it a vehicle for themselves. That's what Matt's done, he's turned the Doctor into him.

CS: Now you've written so many episodes yourself, do you have a preference as far as modern London, period London, or outer space otherworld? I mean, obviously you've done all of them at this point. What's your personal preference?

Moffat: (Laughs) Well, we are slightly limited by the fact that we shoot on planet earth, and we don't have the biggest budget in the world. (laughs) So we do tend to do a lot on earth for our stories, and that's inevitable and proper. If you look at the history of "Doctor Who," generally speaking he's quite humancentric. Even if you're on another planet, he tends to involve human beings. If it's nothing but lizard people than I think you start to lose track of the plot a bit. My personal preference is, if I only had one, and that's to tell great stories. It doesn't matter who plays the role, it's just gotta be a great story.

CS: As far as the budget, when you write something how limited are you when your ideas when you know you only have a certain amount you can use? Do you try to do a certain amount of shows on earth to save up budget to do something bigger on another planet later on? How does that work exactly?

Moffat: Yeah, we do. If we have a really strong idea for an episode, the point is if you're doing a lower-budget episode. I mean "Blink, which was a very successful episode was not a big budget at all. If you have a strong idea for an episode that isn't gonna break the bank, then you think, "Well, all right, that's gonna help us do the finale this year where we'll need a little bit more bang and flash." So yeah, you do that. I mean every show does that. That's not unique or special, that's just the normal economics of television.

CS: I wanted to ask about Neil Gaiman because that's just awesome to hear he's going to write a couple episodes. What was involved with getting him aboard? How much leeway is he gonna have to bring his own sensibilities to his episodes?

Moffat: Well, he really clearly wanted to write one, so we met up. There wasn't any great protracted negotiation, he was quite up for it. We had just Emailed on various subjects before, so we just met up. That was before I had taken over during that period where everybody knew I was taking over but I wasn't allowed to say I was while that went on. And how much leeway will he have? I mean, to be honest, Neil's sensibility is pretty damn "Doctor Who," that's the truth. I think he'd admit that himself. I mean, I could tell. I knew just knowing Neil's work that he was a

"Doctor Who" fan, because he's full of "Doctor Who." I think he was a very, very easy fit into this world. Really and truly we're not trying to limit people's sensibility, any of the (writers). I mean, Richard Curtis is a very different sort of writer. We're not trying to make him write "Doctor Who" the way Terry Nation would or the way I do; we're trying to bring the different voices into the mix and make it more interesting.

CS: Is Richard Curtis' episode this season?
Moffat: Yes, Richard has written Episode 10.

CS: Ah, we'll have to wait a little while for that. Okay, cool. Quick question before we leave, I know we've seen a lot of the Daleks and Cybermen and the Master. I know you're trying to do something different with this season, but how hard it is to fight the urge to either bring back the old stand-bys or go to other seasons to bring back villains Tom Baker has fought, etc? How hard is it to balance doing new things versus retaining some of the old?

Moffat: I don't really have much of a notion to do any of that. Seriously, I mean, if I had to think of a new idea that would involve bringing back an old monster I would do it. I mean, only if it's a good idea for a story. I don't have any baseline urge. I keep saying that the easiest thing in the world is writing "Doctor Who" without their bringing back a single (character) back from history, it's really quite simple. It's not a big deal. It's only if you've got a good idea.

Masters champion Phil Mickelson

2010-04-13T01:00:00.000-07:00

Contoh Pidato - GREEN Jacket hero Phil Mickelson has vowed to be back at the Barclays Scottish Open this summer after admitting he was sorry to miss out last year.

The Masters champion is the first and the biggest name to sign up to the Loch Lomond showdown from July 8-11 and his return promises to be a huge boost for fans across Scotland.

They can now look forward to seeing the three-times Augusta winner up close for two weeks running on the Bonnie Banks and then at St Andrews when Lefty bids for The Open that has so far proved elusive, despite his impressive haul of four Major titles.

Mickelson, who missed most of last summer's schedule to be with his wife Amy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May, confirmed his desire to play the Scottish Open again after clinching a sensational victory in Georgia on Sunday night.

It will be his first appearance in Europe for two years and he admitted he's delighted to be able to return to Scotland this year secure in the knowledge his wife is winning her battle against her illness.

Mickelson told Record Sport: "I absolutely intend to be at Loch Lomond. I intended to be there last year too but family circumstances meant that wasn't possible.

"I expect to be back there this time, as well as the British Open."

Mickelson will headline a starstudded field in July and if he can deliver anything near the thrilling golf he displayed at Augusta over last weekend we are in for a treat.

The Californian stole the show in what history will remember as one of the great Masters battles packed with birdies, eagles and world-class golf from start to finish.

If Mickelson's breathless back nine on Saturday, including backto-back eagles at the 13th and 14th, wasn't remarkable enough - his performance closing out on Sunday was even more dramatic.

He admits to getting a lucky break when a wayward drive on the 11th hit a spectator and bounced back towards the fairway to f ind a favourable lie - but when another slack tee shot found trees again on 13, what followed was the defining moment of the tournament fuelled by bravery and skill.

Folklore His ambitious decision to go for the green through a narrow gap between two enormous oaks will be remembered for a long time as one of the most celebrated shots in Masters folklore, cracking it through this tiny gap to land over the creek guarding the green and stop four feet from the pin.

Mickelson said: "I had a good lie in the pine needles. I was going to have to go through that gap whether I laid up or went for the green. Either way I was going to have to hit a decent shot.

"The gap wasn't huge but it was big enough for a ball to fit through! I just felt like at that time I needed to trust my swing and hit a shot, and it came off perfect.

"I was 207 yards to the hole and my caddie Bones didn't try to talk me out of it. We were between a six and a five iron because sometimes hitting out of the pine needles, the ball will come out a little slow. I just felt like it was clean enough that it was going to come out fine and I wanted to hit something hard, so I hit six.

"At the 11th I was lucky to get an assist off a patron. The ball hit him and came right back almost into the grass and that gave me a pretty open shot to hook an eight iron around the trees on to the green to save par.

"Did the guy say anything? Ouch!

"Thing is I'm very relaxed here at Augusta because you don't have to be perfect. I've hit a lot of great shots and driven the ball very well, but I've made some bad swings on nine, 10 and 11 but still salvaged par.

"I was able to get the ball, advance it far enough down by the green where my short game could take over and salvage par. That's why I feel so comfortable here and I'm relaxed when I drive down Magnolia Lane because I know I don't have to play perfect golf."

Mickelson's 16-under-par scoreline saw off Lee Westwood by a three shot margin and dealt the Englishman another bitter dose of Major heartache, having finished third at last year's Open at Turnberry, the USPGA at Hazeltine and the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines.

It's a catalogue of near misses that Mickelson can sympathise with having suffered so many close calls himself before his first Masters win in 2004 shrugged off his tag of best player never to have won a Major.

That's why he took time out from the joy of his victory and the emotion of sharing it with his wife, who had hauled herself out of her sick bed to share the moment, to give comfort and encouragement to his rival.

Mickelson added: "I told Lee there's nothing I can say to make you feel better. I've been in that position - and it sucks.

"But I also told him he is playing some of the best golf in the world. He's an incredible player and I want him to win his first Major soon because he is that kind of talent, that type of player and a quality guy."

Extremely Dangerous To Be A Twitter-Only Application"

2010-04-09T23:13:00.000-07:00

Daftar Harga HP Terbaru - Loic LeMuir, creator of the popular Twitter-client Seesmic, tells us that these days, it is "extremely dangerous to be a Twitter-only application." Loic's reasoning is that, like any platform owner, if your application is crucial enough to the use of Twitter, Twitter might just clone it and crush it.

Blackberry - One reason we think Loic is on to something, is that this week, Twitter's top invester, Fred Wilson, dropped a bombshell on the Twitter app universe, writing a post warning developers to stop "filling holes" in Twitter's product and start building "something entirely new on top of Twitter."

(Though Fred later tried to claim he wasn't speaking for Twitter, we found plenty of Twitter employees chearleading his post. Today, Twitter followed-up on Fred's post by announcing an "official" Twitter app for BlackBerry.)

Fred specifically attacked mobile clients, search, and URL shorteners, writing "Twitter really should have had all of that when it launched."

We took Fred's post an implicit threat that Twitter could buy or build its own photo-uploader and mobile app, squashing third-party developers in its way.

And, viola, today Twitter announced an "official" Twitter app for BlackBerry, putting itself in direct competition with third-party app ÜberTwitter, which sends ~9% of all tweets to Twitter. (Next look for a redesign from Twitter, which one employee says will make users "not want to use a desktop client.")

Seeing the news, one big time developer told us: "Now I am convinced we will see one official twitter app for each main platform."

Another huge Twitter develeper, TweetDeck founder Iain Dodsworth, told us: "I've no idea what Twitter are planning but it wouldn't suprise me if they now deem it important to own more eyeballs."

"I don't agree with this strategy but, as I said, I wouldn't be suprised. I wouldn't underestimate the value of the innovation in the long tail. I hope this is not stiffled if Twitter appear to be competing."

Both Loic and Iain told us they are prepared for Twitter's shfit in strategy. Loic tells us Seesmic Desktop 2, which launches next week, will take feeds from all kinds of social networks, not just Twitter.

Iain sounded a similar note, telling us, "I think it unlikely that Twitter would integrate facebook/linkedin/myspace (and a few others we have coming) into their products - TweetDeck is not solely a Twitter app, it's a multi-stream browser aimed at social media power users - that's quite a big differentiation."

Good for Iain and Loic, but many other Twitter app-developers -- Android client-makers and iPhone client-makers come to mind first -- probably won't find themselves so well-prepared.

Peramal AS Prediksi Ancaman Topan Besar 2010 ‎

2010-04-09T07:54:00.000-07:00

Ini bukan berdasarkan Ramalan Bintang namun berdasarkan keilmuan dan teknologi seorangahli cuaca Amerika. Musim topan Atlantik 2010 akan menimbulkan delapan topan di atas rata-rata, empat di antaranya berkekuatan besar, sehingga memicu peningkatan ancaman bagi daerah pesisir AS, demikian diramalkan tim peramalan topan Colarado State University, Kamis (8/4).

Dalam Ramalan kedua pada empat bulan untuk musim 2010, tim riset badai terkenal yang didirikan oleh perintis ramalan topan William Gray mengatakan, musim enam bulan yang dimulai 1 Juni kemungkinan akan mendapati 15 badai tropis.

Tim tadi meramalkan peluang 69 persen sedikitnya satu topan besar sehingga menimbulkan tanah longsor pada daerah pantai AS tahun 2010, dibanding kemungkinan rata-rata jangka panjang 52 persen.

Topan-topan besar menghasilkan kecepatan angin sedikitnya 178 kilometer per jam.

Untuk Gulf Coast, dari Florida Panhandle barat ke Brownsville, Texas, termasuk kawasan penghasil minyak Gulf of Mexico, kemungkinan topan besar menimbulkan tanah longsor tercatat 44 persen dibanding rata-rata jangka panjang 30 persen, tegas tim Colarado State University.

"Sementara pola mungkin akan berubah sebelum masuk musim topan, kami yakin kondisi sekarang memberikan keprihatinan buat musim di atas rata-rata," tegas Gray dalam satu pernyataan.

Musim Atlantik rata-rata mempunyai peluang sekitar 10 badai tropis, enam menjadi topan.

Tim Colarado State University juga memprediksi peluang 58 persen topan besar bergerak menuju Karibia, tempat Haiti rawan setelah gempa besar 12 Januari yang menyebabkan lebih satu juta orang kehilangan tempat tinggal.

Ramalam sebelumnya pada Desember oleh tim pimpinan Gray sudah memprediksi musim di atas rata-rata menghasilkan 11 sampai 16 badai tropis, termasuk enam sampai delapan topan. Menurutnya, tiga sampai lima badai tahun depan akan menjadi "topan besar Kategori 3 atau lebih tiggi pada skala intensitas Saffir-Simpson.

Arrange Married

2010-04-07T01:55:00.000-07:00

Zodiak - Malika, seorang gadis yang berasal dari Punjab, India. Dia dibesarkan di Amerika dari umur lima tahun hingga menyelesaikan kuliah di Harvard Univeristy. Sebagai gadis modern, lingkungan pergaulannya mengajarkan dia untuk bebas memilih pujaan hatinya. Apa daya, begitu selesai menamatkan kuliahnya, keluarganya telah mengharuskan dia untuk menikah dengan pria yang dipilihkan keluarganya.

Ramalan Zodiak Deewani, juga seorang gadis yang berasal dari Madras, India. Dia menamatkan program residency kedokterannya di Missouri University. Oleh keluarga besarnya dia dijodohkan dengan seorang pria yang sama sekali tidak dikenalnya melalu biro perjodohan yang diatur oleh para tukang ramal( rashi) di kota tempat kelahirannya, Chennai. Dia menolak dan memutuskan untuk menikah dengan pujaan hatinya, akibatnya dia dikucilkan oleh keluarganya.

Arrange Married atau pernikahan melalui perjodohan adalah tradisi dan adat istiadat masyarakat yang berasal dari India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, maupun negara-negara di jazirah arab. Perbedaan besar dari perjodohan di South Asia dan negara jazirah arab adalah, negara-negara south asian mengenal perjodohan melalui rasi/zodiak serta kasta sedangkan di jazirah arab melalui bibit, bebet, bobot suatu keluarga atau perjodohan antara sepupu.

Di India, perjodohan merupakan syarat mutlak suatu pernikahan. Pacaran adalah sesuatu yang tabu. Tradisi masyarakat India yang mengutamakan kepentingan keluarga menempatkan perjodohan sebagai upaya untuk melindungi martabat dan kasta. Orang tua mendidik dan merawat anak dan anak diwajibkan mematuhi perintah orang tua.

Biasanya orang tua mencari calon menantu dari kalangan keluarga yang memenuhi syarat antara lain: kasta, ekonomi, soasial status, dan agama. Hal ini dimaksudkan untuk melindungi keluarga mereka dari hal-hal yang timbul di kemudian hari akibat adanya perbedaan status tersebut.

Perjodohan biasanya dilakukan ketika anak-anak mereka masih berusia kanak-kanak, hal ini dilakukan agar ketika anak-anak mereka dewasa, mereka tidak “semau gue” memilih jodohnya masing-masing. Bahkan di negara-negara bagian tertentu di India, para orang tua menikahkan anak-anak mereka sebelum mereka masuk masa pubertas.

Walaupun pernikahan dibawah umur tidak diperbolehkan menurut hukum negara, orang tua tetap memaksakan kehendak dan nekat menikahkan mereka melalui sistim adat (tidak terdaftar dalam hukum). Sebagian besar orang tua yang takut hukum, tidak menikahkan anak mereka sejak kecil tetapi memaksakan mereka untuk diperjodohkan, dan umumnya dengan ancaman tidak diakui keberadaannya, dibuang dari warisan, dan sebagainya.

Uniknya lagi, perjodohan banyak dilakukan oleh kalangan yang berstatus sosial dan ekonomi tinggi di negara-negara South Asia, demi memprotect status mereka. Pada umumnya, masyarakat yang berada di kasta rendah, tidak memperdulikan perjodohan. Karena bagi mereka tidak ada yang perlu dipertahankan, harta tidak ada, kasta pun hanya sekedar kasta waisya atau sudra.

Zaman sekarang, perjodohan di negara-negara ini melibatkan agen perjodohan professional. Mak comblang ini mencharge harga yang sangat mahal dalam mencari calon-calon pengantin. Mereka punya website sendiri yang mencantumkan, ras, zodiac, status sosial, tingakt pendidikan, hingga besarnya dowry yang diminta.

Dowry adalah harga mati yang diajukan pihak pria. Semakin tinggi tingkat pendidikan dan status sosial si pria, semakin tinggi harga dowrynya. Jangan harap gadis-gadis dari kasta rendah atau status sosial yang rendah bisa bersaing. Setiap syarat dowry memiliki due date, apabila sampai batas waktu tertentu pihak wanita tidak melunasi dowry yang diminta, maka keluarga si laki dengan seenaknya melempar si wanita kembali ke keluarganya. Sayangnya, banyak gadis-gadis itu mengalami nasib berakhir dengan kematian.Hal ini yang masih sering terjadi di India, bahwa wanita-wanita yang dilempar oleh keluarga suaminya, dibunuh dengan cara dibakar, diculik dan dianiaya, bahkan ada yang dihilangkan dengan sengaja.

Shamin Sultana, seorang gadis muda rupawan yang tewas setelah dibakar hidup-hidup oleh ibu mertuanya karena ayah nya tidak sanggup melunasi dowry yang disyaratkan oleh keluarga suaminya. (http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-16030588.html).

Sunita Bhargava, seorang ibu dengan dua anak, mengalami penyiksaan mental, psikis, dan sexual yang dilakukan oleh suami dan mertua perempuannya karena menurut mereka ayah dan keluarganya tidak mampu melunasi dowry yang diwajibkan. Sekarang dia harus hidup mengelandang di daerah kumuh di India dan dilarang bertemu dengan anak-anaknya. (http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9608/18/bride.burn/)

Dalam kurun waktu 1987 – 1994, lebih dari 35,000 wanita di India mati dibunuh oleh mertua perempuan atau keluarga suaminya karena orang tuanya tidak mampu membayar dowry. Jumlah ini didapat dari catatan biro statistic yang diterbitkan National Crime of India. Paling banyak tercatat di New Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, sampai kebagian Utara India.

Yang lebih menyedihkan praktek pembunuhan ini didukung sepenuhnya oleh keluarga si gadis sendiri yang merasa malu karena anaknya dikembalikan. Ditambahkan menurut peraturan dowry, si ayah wajib mutlak melunasi hutang dowrynya atau bernasib dipenjarakan

http://india-facts.com/news/women-abuse/2008122150/bride-burning-dowry/

Lalu bagaimana dengan masyarakat India yang hidup di luar negeri dan tidak mampu memenuhi kewajiban membayar dowry, apakah mereka bernasib sama dengan saudari-saudarinya di India sana?. Saya menanyakan kepada komunitas India di Overland Park, Kansas. Menurut mereka; Hampir sebagian besar komunitas India disini berasal dari kalangan intelektul dan akademis, dimana mereka sudah sedikit melenceng dari sistim dowry dan adat perjodohan.

Orang tua wanita sebagian besar menjodohkan anak mereka dengan pria yang diimpor langsung dari India. Cukup cerdik kalau saya boleh berpendapat; sebab dawry yang diminta jumlahnya masih tergolong murah dan keluarga wanita dengan mudah memenuhinya karena income mereka jauh lebih besar dari income keluarga si lelaki.

Conclusion

Malika memenuhi permintaan orang tuanya. Mr.dan Mrs.Kapoor menghubungi agen perjodohan bergengsi di Bangalore, dengan membayar $ 200 Malika diberikan akses untuk memilih 1 – 40 foto. Para calon suami itu berpendidikan tinggi dan rata-rata berkerja di silicon valley of India. Dowry yang diminta paling tinggi adalah 4 juta rupee termasuk murah untuk ayahnya yang pengusaha restaurant. Sekarang dia sudah menikah dan tinggal di Kansas City, suaminya bekerja di bidang IT di Sprint. Malika sendiri bekerja sebagai consultant di Wadell.

Deewani terpaksa memutuskan percintaannya karena dia masih takut kehilangan keluarganya. Dia akhirnya menikah dengan pria yang dipilih orang tuanya melalui shaadi.com. Walaupun dia tidak mencintai suaminya dia memutuskan untuk mencoba.

Yang menarik dari perjodohan ala India ini, justru perceraian jarang terjadi. Separah apapun pernikahan yang mereka jalani. Para isteri India ini akan berusaha keras untuk mempertahankannya. Walaupun terkadang suami-suami mereka punya affair, mereka akan berkilah: “Lord Khrisna punya 16,000 pacar, namun dia hanya memiliki satu orang isteri”.

Services on BlackBerry

2010-04-04T08:06:00.000-07:00

Blackberry Gemini - Famous for facilitating millions of business introductions and professional hook-ups, LinkedIn Corp.' s latest connection is with Research In Motion Ltd. A day after LinkedIn revealed plans to establish a Canadian headquarters in Toronto, the Mountain View, Calif.-based company today will take the wraps off a new mobile application designed to integrate the popular business social network's services with RIM's BlackBerry devices.

Blackberry Onyx- For LinkedIn, the new application highlights the company's aggressive expansion plans, which involve new international offices and put-ting LinkedIn onto the most popular mobile devices for business users.

For RIM, the LinkedIn application represents another example of how the Black-Berry maker's stance toward applications allows third parties to integrate their services with the core calendar, email and address-book functions of its smartphones.

"I really do see a world within the next few years where users' primary, and potentially only, experience with LinkedIn may be from the mobile device," said Adam Nash, LinkedIn's vice-president of search and platform products.

This isn't the first mobile application developed by LinkedIn -- the company launched an application for Apple Inc.'s iPhone in August 2008-- but Mr. Nash said his team tailors each mobile app to take advantage of the specific features of each device.

"People buy and use differ-ent mobile devices for specific reasons," Mr. Nash said. "They usually pick a platform or a provider because they like the services and applications that platform provides. If you were going to provide the uses that BlackBerry users want the most, what would they be and how would they work?"

Unlike most other smartphone applications that operate independently from other programs on a user's device, the LinkedIn BlackBerry app is designed to integrate itself into the core functions of the device, including its calendar, contact list and email inbox.

Messages sent to a user's LinkedIn inbox will appear in their BlackBerry inbox alongside a special icon. Users will also be able to look up the public LinkedIn profile of anyone in their contact list, anyone who sends them an email message and anyone they have a meeting scheduled with through the calendar application.

Even before applications were the toast of the smartphone world, RIM was helping many of its large customers in the business world integrate their own software -- for example, sales-force automation technology--into the core applications of the BlackBerry.

"It's something we've always felt was important for enabling a class of application that presents a very high value back to the user and deliver the type of integrated experience that we think is important to drive the success of those apps," said Tyler Lessard, RIM's vice-president of independent software vendor alliances and developer relations.

Pidato SBY Bagi Demokrat

2010-03-31T21:18:00.000-07:00

Contoh Pidato - Ketua Dewan Pembina Partai Demokrat Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ternyata sudah membekali calon Ketua Umum Partai Demokrat jauh hari sebelum kongres di Bandung, Jawa Barat, Mei nanti. Orang nomor satu di Indonesia itu tak ingin ada politik uang dan perpecahan akibat penghelatan besar si biru.

"Pak SBY Pidato di depan 148 anggota Fraksi Partai Demokrat dan memberikan pengarahan di depan pengurus DPP. Semua menteri hadir dan saya Ketua DPR juga hadir. Pak SBY meminta kongres aman dan jadi contoh bagi partai lain," kata mantan Sekjen Partai Demokrat Marzuki Alie dalam konferensi pers di Gedung DPR/MPR RI, Jakarta, Jumat (26/3).

Marzuki menceritakan, SBY juga berpesan agar calon ketua umum tidak saling sikut. Pemenang harus merangkul yang kalah. "Bahwa jangan ada kompetisi kampanye yang tidak sehat, saling menyudutkan," jelas Marzuki.

SBY ingin Partai Demokrat tetap dilihat sebagai partai santun dan beretika. Karena itu, SBY mempersilakan kader yang ingin maju mendeklarasikan diri setelah pra-kongres pada 27 Maret nanti. "Selain itu, kader tidak boleh ada yang terganjal tata tetrib," tandas Marzuki.(

Bintang Lapangan Tengah

2010-03-23T03:48:00.000-07:00

Ramalan Bintang - Nyawa permainan Sriwijaya FC terletak pada kreativitas Zah Rahan Krangar sebagai seorang bintang lapangan tengah. Sentuhan magisnya kerap menjadi penentu permainan Laskar Wong Kito. Maka, dalam pertandingan SFC versus Becamex Binh Duong FC, di Stadion Gelora Jakabaring, Rabu (24/3) pukul 16.00 nanti, kemampuan pemain bertinggi 165 cm ini kembali dipertaruhkan. Dia akan menghadapi rival utama dari Vietnam, bernama Nguyen Vu Phong. Inilah pertarungan dua bintang penguasa lapangan tengah.

Ramalan Bintang Terbaru - Soal peranan Zah Rahan, pelatih Rahmad Darmawan menegaskan permainan tim asuhannya tidak bergantung kepada seorang pemain. Tetapi tak bisa dipungkiri peran pemain berdarah Liberia itu, menjadi salah satu andalan. Seolah mendukung pendapat pelatihnya, Zah pun terlihat merendah akan peranannya.

“Permainan kami adalah permainan tim, jadi Zah atau tidak, SFC tetap bermain bagus,” bantah Zah tentang peranan pentingnya tersebut.

Jika Zah menjadi nyawa permainan tuan rumah, maka vietnam juga mengandalkan permainan kolektivitas yang dimulai dari lapangan tengah yakni pemain yang dianggap menjadi sosok pengatur serangan dan mampu menjadi penterjemah strategi pelatih.

Sosok itu ada pada dua pemain lapangan tengah yakni, pemain asing asal Brazil Elenildo de Jesus dan kapten tim Nguyen Vu Phong. Namun permainan sebenarnya terfokus kepada Vu Phong, anggota Timnas Vietnam. Pemuda berusia 25 tahun ini, memiliki permainan agresif, cepat, dan mampu bertahan dengan baik. Tak jarang sentuhannya menentukan hasil pertandingan.

Dia mampu membuka ruang, membawa bola dari lapangan tengah untuk memberikan assist matang. Bahkan pemain bertinggi 169 cm ini bisa menyelesaikan peluang di kotak penalti dengan baik.

Skuad Becamex Binh Doung FC sudah tiba di Palembang dan memilih beristirahat, di Hotel The Jayakarta Diara pukul 19.30 semalam. Tim ini datang dengan membawa 19 pemain andalannya. Diantara tiga pemain asing dan satu pemain naturalitasi asal Brazil. Yakni, Osita Egbo (Nigeria), Elenido de Jesus (Brazil), dan Lancelot Kubheka Philani (South Africa). Ketiga pemain asing ini menjadi tulang punggung tim, juga ditopang beberapa pemain Timnas Vietnam seperti kapten Tim Nguyen Pu Phonh. Satu hal perlu diwaspadai, tim ini belum sekalipun kebobolan dalam dua pertandingan terakhir.

“Mereka memiliki pemain berkualitas dan kita harus waspadai kolektivitas permainan tim,” ujar pelatih Rahmad Darmawan SFC mengakui.

Tentang permainan agresif tim Vietnam di benarkan Bobby Satria, salah seorang bek yang pernah menghadapi Binh Duong saat berseragam Timnas U-20. “Benar tim ini memiliki permainan agresif dan cepat di semua lini,” ujar Bobby yang menjadi andalan di Jakabaring nanti.

Tewasnya Dul Matin di Pamulang

2010-03-09T10:18:00.000-08:00

Teroris - Polri memang telah membantah adanya keterkaitan antara kegiatan teroris maupun penggerebekan teroris akhir-akhir ini berkait dengan rencana kunjungan Presiden AS Barrack Obama. Akan tetapi, anggota Komisi III DPR RI Nasir Djamil dari Fraksi Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (F-PKS) tetap menduga gencarnya pemberantasan jaringan terorisme ini berkaitan dengan kunjungan Barry dalam waktu dekat ini.

Teroris Pamulang - Nasir juga menduga, penumpasan terorisme ini berkaitan dengan kunjungan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ke Australia pada pekan ini. Dikatakan Nasir, Australia adalah salah satu negara tetangga yang peduli dengan isu pemberantasan terorisme di Indonesia.

"Sudah menjadi rahasia publik kalau kedua negara tersebut ikut membantu pendanaan untuk menumpas teroris di Indonesia. Semoga Polri tidak memanfaatkan kedua momentum tersebut," ujar Nasir, Selasa (9/3/2010) di Jakarta.

Kendati demikian, Nasir memberikan apresiasi terhadap kinerja Polri yang berhasil menggerebek tempat yang diduga ditinggali Dulmatin, salah seorang yang menjadi otak di balik tragedi Bom Bali pada 2002.

Penggerebekan ini dilakukan Polri di dua tempat di Pamulang, yaitu di Ruko Siliwangi, dekat Pamulang Square, dan Jalan Setiabudi. Dua orang yang diyakini anggota jaringan teroris tewas dalam penggerebekan ini.

Live Right and Enjoy a Great Life

2010-03-02T20:28:00.000-08:00

Video Gempa Chili - Time and again the question has been asked, “If really the world was created by a good and omnipotent God who watches over His creation, why are we visited so often by natural disasters and personal tragedies?” On some occasions, tens of thousands are killed and whole communities rendered homeless by earthquake. At other times, death and destruction are caused by flooding. When their season comes, hurricanes sweep in violently and take their toll on lives and property.

Gempa Chili - Planes crash, same goes for motor vehicles, trains derail, boats sink and cancer manifests. The hopes and aspirations of victims are tragically cut short and their loved ones are left grieving. Famine, poverty, disease and armed conflict are ravaging a whole continent – Africa.

“And why does God, the most benevolent, allow so much evil in the world?” Our experience of evil deeds ranges from the occasional abduction, rape and murder to genocide perpetrated in the name of racial or ethnic cleansing. And while we are still grappling with discrimination and oppression by invoking human rights, terrorism has added a horrifying new dimension to our experience of wicked deeds.

Given the catalogue of woes we have to live with, some people are understandably disenchanted with God. But this should not be so. The fault is not with God but with our lack of adequate knowledge of how God has designed things to work. If we understand how the system is meant to work and we do things the right way, all will surely be well with us. The knowledge I gained from six years of scientific inquiry into the spiritual aspect of life will be a great help here.

God has endowed us with ability to do things. But this ability is limited. The extent of the limitation is such that we cannot on our own ensure the attainment and maintenance of the happiness, good health and success we all crave for. This means that we must necessarily associate with God if our well being is to be guaranteed. He is almighty and can provide all the help and protection we need to enable us live completely happy and successful lives. This arrangement makes it impractical for us to disregard God and do things our own way. (God has to remain relevant in the affairs of humans as we are co-workers with Him in the ongoing work of creation).

In order to fully appreciate this arrangement, we can liken it to the divine design that necessitates the marital relationship. A man may desire to have children. But his ability to procreate is limited. He can only make a woman pregnant. There his contribution ends. It is the woman that carries the fetus in her womb until it is fully developed by which time she delivers the baby. No matter how big, strong and virile a man may be, he cannot on his own bring a child into the world. His ability to reproduce is limited to the extent that he must necessarily enter into a relationship with a woman in order to have children.

And this brings us to the important issue of proper relationship. For a woman to cooperate with a man in bearing and raising children, the man has to enter into a proper relationship with her. And this relationship is what we know as marriage. When a marriage has been properly contracted, the woman will gladly do what she is naturally equipped to do, that is, bear children. She is fulfilled when she brings children into the union. The husband does not have to beg or plead with her to play this role.

The issue of a proper relationship is also important in our association with God. In order for God to cooperate with us in ensuring our well being, we need to establish a proper relationship with Him. While human ability is limited, God is almighty. When a proper relationship is established, here is what happens. In striving towards the realization of our goals and aspirations, we will carry out those things that are humanly possible, while God will accomplish those things that are humanly impossible.

It does not require our pleas and prayers for God to play His role in ensuring our safety and welfare. God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He is always ready and willing to prove Himself by accomplishing those things we consider impossible including those things we regard as miracles. The way God relates to humans is aptly expressed in the statement, “man’s extremity is God’s opportunity”.

And now we come to the question of how someone can establish a proper relationship with God. In the case of marriage, a wedding ceremony is generally accepted as the requirement for establishing a proper marital relationship. It could be a religious, customary or court wedding. However, establishing a proper relationship with God does not require any ceremonies. All a person needs to do is get close to God. “But how does someone get close to God?” you may ask. Here is how.

It is a natural phenomenon that people of like nature tend to come together. That is why it is said, “Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are” or “birds of like feather flock together”. To get close to God a person has to emulate God in His goodness. Such a person has to become good-natured and they have to live a moral life. To be good-natured means to be kind, helpful and unselfish in one's dealings with others. An unselfish person is one who considers the interests and welfare of others first. And to live a moral life is to live a good and virtuous life.

To become well-connected with God requires that you become godly. To put it in modern parlance, you have to live a God-friendly life.

As is the case with partners in a marital relationship, there are benefits you enjoy when you establish a proper relationship with God.

Firstly, no difficulty or challenge shall overcome you if you always put your faith in God whenever your abilities or resources prove to be inadequate. Even mountain-high obstacles cannot prevent you from attaining your goals and aspirations. But you may not want to take my word for it. So here is a second opinion – that of Jesus Christ, one of the world’s greatest teachers in the domain of religion and spirituality. (The Bible (NIV), Mark 11:22-24).

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Secondly, evil or misfortune will not befall you. Accidents will occur, sickness will claim lives, men will perpetrate evil and nature will wreak havoc but you will remain untouched. Again I will want Jesus to corroborate my hard-to-believe assertions regarding the amazing benefits of God-friendly living, (Luke 6:46-49).

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

And thirdly, God’s blessings shall be yours in full. You will gain those good things that everyone hopes for and strives to obtain. You will have good health, your happiness will be boundless and your success will be complete. This may sound like an extravagant claim but listen to Jesus on the connection between our welfare and godliness, (Matthew 6:25-33).

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry saying, ‘what shall we eat?’ or ‘what shall we drink?’ or ‘what shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

I have found from personal experience that when someone is well-connected with God, they function on a superhuman level. So why should anyone struggle through life relying on their limited abilities alone when they can also draw on the unlimited capabilities of God? Surely, it makes sense to live in a God-friendly way and be able to journey through life as a superperson.

Non Healthy Lifestyle

2010-02-22T08:39:00.000-08:00

Yoseph refo - One of the biggest misconceptions people have today is what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. Just because you exercise does not mean you are healthy. I hear much too often, oh, I can eat this because then I will work 30 or 40 minutes on the treadmill, jogging, walking, (fill in the blank with the exercise of choice). NO, NO, NO! Once in a while transgressions are one things, however, if you want to be healthy you need to eat healthy and exercise, the two go hand in hand.

Yoseph refo bunuh Istrinya Maria Reni Widowati - Now, think about this, if you think this way as an adult, what are you teaching your children. Yep, that is it OK to eat junk food as long as you are active. Not only that, so many parents, say well my kids eat all this stuff but don’t gain any weight, so it is OK. NO IT IS NOT! While on the surface, you think it is, it is doing major damage to both yours and your child’s body. Think high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Remember folks the old adage “you are what you eat” applies here. We all carry over what we learn in our childhood into our lives as adults. You are setting the foundation here for a lifetime of bad eating for your child. Do you really want to do that? No, I don’t think so. So you need to set an example and start eating healthier and continue to be active. Right now the majority of children that are active are doing so through after school or organized sports activities that interest them. However, what happens when they get older, when these activities are no longer a part of his/her life. You got it, sedentary behavior because you didn’t provide the role model they needed for a healthy lifestyle. You need to provide them with other choices besides just sporting activities: walking, jogging, riding, jumping rope, aerobics to name a few.

It is one of your responsibilities as a parent to teach your children about healthy eating and the importance of activity not only as a child but as they grow into adulthood. So you need to be a good role model. We have discussed in other articles, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and walking from the far end of the parking lot. Joining a gym or having exercise equipment (bikes, trampolines, DVDs) in your home. One of the cutest things is for a young child to watch their mom or dad watching a video or working out on a piece of exercise equipment and trying to emulate them. What a perfect opportunity for you to show them how to dance, jog, jump rope so they can do something right along with you.

Next be sure you let them be active in the planning and preparation of meals. Let them give their input. Take the time to talk to them about the foods you are making and they are eating. And please don’t tell me you don’t have the time, make the time or in all honesty why did you have children!

Yes, we want our children to be active and involved. However, one big caveat here is to limit the number of activities your children get involved with. Too many children today join everything to please their parents and they are exhausted! So be realistic with their time just as you would be with yours. Be sure to emphasize to your child that they don’t have to be involved in everything. Emphasis that if they do too much they are going to make compromises in one or more activities and that isn’t fair to that particular group. Talk to them about down time. Be sure they know it is OK to relax. We need balance in our life and the only way to be sure we do is to do everything in moderation and get that down time for ourselves. Relaxing restores our balance which is so very important for healthy living.

Baby Names

2010-02-17T18:33:00.000-08:00

My Name is Khan - Lists of baby names are always fun to look at, whether you're seeking a name for your soon-to-be-born baby boy or baby girl, wondering about the popularity of your own first name, or just curious about what baby names are currently hot.

What I find particularly interesting is tracking the popularity of baby names over the decades. In looking through U.S. government baby name lists from 1880 to the present, some amusing patterns emerge, particularly in regards to baby names for girls.

For example, in Victorian times Biblical names, such as Mary, Sarah and Ruth were very popular for baby girls. There were also many baby names that sounded very old-fashioned to me, as a kid growing up in the 1960s, including names like Martha, Alice, Bertha and Minnie.

From the 1920s to the 1950s certain baby names rose in popularity. For example, I went to school with many Susans, Debbies, Patricias, and Lindas. All of these baby names have since waned, to be replaced, by the 1980s, with fancier names such as Jennifer, Jessica and Nicole. When I was a children's librarian in the 1980s my preschool storyhours were populated with little girls named Lauren and Jenny, and little boys named Alex and Matthew.

More recently there's been a lot of renewed interest in more "old-fashioned" baby names like Hannah, Abigail and Ethan, plus many Biblical names such as Sarah, Rachel, Joshua, Jacob, and Samuel. There's also been a surge in nontraditional baby names including Madison, Ashley and Brianna for baby girls, and Brandon and Logan for baby boys.

It's interesting to consider the whys and wherefores of such developments. Sometimes, I suspect, the popularity of a specific actor or fictional character might result in many babies with a particular name. For example, were some of the Lauras born in the 1970s and 1980s given a name suggested by older brothers and sisters who were growing up watching "Little House on the Prairie ?" Were some attributable to the super popular Laura of "General Hospital" fame ?

Today Madison is a very highly ranked baby name for girls (ranking number 3 in 2003) but, when the film "Splash" came out in 1984, Tom Hanks' character told Daryl Hannah's character that Madison was not a bona fide first name.

While baby girls' names seem quite subject to the whims of fashion and the top ten lists can change radically over time, I've noticed that, in general, the top baby names for boys remain far more stable. Names like John, William and James are perennials, perhaps because baby boys are often named for their fathers, perpetuating the popularity of certain baby names from generation to generation. The "Junior" factor aside, baby boys are also less apt to be given fanciful names.

A comparison of the changing fortunes of my own first name, Barbara, with those of my husband's name, Robert, gives a good illustration of the difference in stability between baby girl names and baby boy names over time.

My name grew in popularity in the 1930s, '40s and '50s, peaking at the number 2 position in baby name popularity, which it tenaciously held from 1937 to 1944. When I attended grad school, of a class of approximately forty students, there were no less than three baby boomers named Barbara. Should I thank the actress Barbara Stanwyck for this ? Alas, my first name later suffered a slow, steady decline and placed at a pitiful number 628 position on the baby names popularity list for the U.S. in 2003.

Robert, on the other hand, has survived the vicissitudes of baby name popularity. It held a coveted spot on the top ten most popular baby names list every year from 1896 to the late 1980s, often peaking at number 1 between the 1920s and the 1950s. It has gradually slipped since the 1990s, but still managed to hold the respectable slot of number 35 in 2003.

When naming a baby there are, of course, many other points to consider besides how popular or unique a name is. Here are some helpful tips that you can use with your other children to get them involved in choosing a name for the new baby and to make the process fun:

1. Baby names need to go nicely with the sound of your last name. Also, pick a first name and a middle name that go together well. (So maybe not something like Erasmus Beelzebub Smith !)

2. When your family finds a name you all like, look at the initials to be sure that you don't give the new baby a name with initials that will make people laugh. (So maybe not Pamela Iris Green, which equals P.I.G. !)

3. You might not want a baby name that is so unusual that the other kids will make fun of your little brother or sister as he or she grows up. (So maybe not Rosebud or Molasses !)

4. You also might not want a baby name that is so trendy that it will sound funny by the time the baby is ten years old. (So maybe not Sunshine !)

5. You probably shouldn't pick a name that's really cute for an adorable little baby but will sound silly when the baby grows up. (So maybe not Dimples !)

6. Avoid baby names that might produce insulting nicknames when people shorten them. (So maybe not Smellonius, or Smelly for short !)

7. You and your family might not want a name that is so hard to spell or to pronounce that people will always get it wrong and your poor little brother or sister will have to go through life correcting people. (So maybe not something like Incandescence, or is it Incandessints ? )

8. You and your family might want to pick baby names in honor of favorite relatives or ancestors, or special names that show your family's ethnic roots. You might even find a special name from a book or movie that you love. (Like Harry ?)

9. You might want to look through books of baby names and pick one that has a special meaning that you like - maybe something that means "sweet" or "kind" or "brave." (So maybe not wimp !)

10. You might want to think about names that will go nicely with your name and your other brothers' and sisters' names, so that if mom or dad are calling you all for dinner or signing a birthday card to grandma it won't sound too crazy.
(So maybe not "Happy Birthday, Grandma ! Love, Joey, Cindy and Dweevo !")

There are hundreds of names waiting for you out there, so good luck on your search for the perfect name !

Practice Guitar

2010-02-16T11:37:00.001-08:00

One of the first things a new guitar player will learn is how to play basic guitar chords. As soon as you learn how to play a minimum of two chords it is time to learn how to practice your guitar chord changes.

Guitar chord changes are when you switch from guitar chord to another guitar chord in a smooth and flawless motion.

If you are finding chord changes to be challenging while you practice guitar, let’s take a look at four easy tips on how to practice your guitar chord changes.

1. Memorize your guitar chords: The best way to practice your guitar chord changes is by memorizing your guitar chords. By memorizing your guitar chords you will be able to know where to place your left hand fingers on the fret board more quickly and more efficiently than if you are just guessing where your fingers go on the fret board.

2. Practice chord changes without strumming: Practicing your guitar chord changes is challenging enough without having to worry about the rhythm aspect of your guitar chords. Don’t worry about practicing your right hand rhythm technique for right now. Once you have mastered your guitar chord changes, you can incorporate switching your guitar chords with the various strumming patterns you have learned.

3. Keep your fingers on the strings: Try not to move your left fingers away from your guitar fretboard. By moving your fingers away from the guitar fretboard, while you are switching guitar chords, you will not be able to change chords as quickly. As you memorize your basic guitar chords, you will recognize that some of your left fingers will barely have to move. You will also begin to recognize that some guitar chords have the same notes which means that your fingers may already be in position to play part of the notes for the next guitar chord.

4. Know what chord is coming up: If you walk, drive a car, or ride a bicycle you will understand that you just don’t stare at one object while traveling. If you do, you will crash into something else. The solution from crashing is to look all around your surroundings and know what’s coming up ahead. The same goes with guitar chord changes. The more you look ahead of your music, the more you will avoid crashing into the wrong guitar chord. The more you know what guitar chords are coming up, the quicker you will be able to switch to the next chord.

5. Practice in the dark: By allowing yourself to practice guitar in the dark, you will be forced to ensure that you have memorized the right fingering for your guitar chords. Once you are able to play your guitar chords in the dark, the next step is to practice your guitar chord changes in the dark as quickly and smoothly as possible. If you’re not sure if you are playing the right guitar chord in the dark then practice guitar near a light switch. As soon as you think you have the right chord, turn the light on, and then check your left hand fingering to make sure your fingers are positioned correctly on the fret board.

Lumpur Lapindo kesalahan manusia

2010-02-13T22:24:00.000-08:00

Mud Max sebuah film yang akan membuka tentang penyebab sembiran lumpur yang terjadi d Sidoarjo. Kita bisa lansir sebuah berita yang menjelaskan tenatng hal tersebut.Menurut kantor berita AFP, dalam sebuah makalah yang diterbitkan jurnal Marine and Petroleum Geology, sekelompok pakar yang dipimpin Universitas Durham, Inggris menyatakan petunjuk baru itu didorong kecurigaan bahwa bencana itu disebabkan kesalahan manusia.

Dalam jurnal yang sama, Lapindo Brantas menjawab bahwa lumpur "Lusi" menyembur karena gempa di Yogyakarta yang jaraknya 280 kilometer dari Sidoarjo.

Film Lumpur Lapindo Sidoarjo menjelaskan tentang Lumpur Lapindo ini telah menutupi tanah dan perumahan penduduk sejak bulan Mei 2006.

Sekitar 100.000 orang terkena dampaknya dan menurut perkiraan pakar Australia menyebabkan kerugian US$4,9 milyar.

Profesor Richard Davies dari Universitas Durham mengatakan, para pengebor yang mencari gas telah membuat serangkaian kesalahan.

Mereka kurang memperhitungkan tekanan dalam sumur dan tidak menempatkan tutup pelindung sekitar sumur yang terbuka.

Kemudian setelah gagal menemukan gas, mereka menarik bor ketika sumur sangat tidak stabil.

Dengan menarik bor, sumur itu terbuka dari "dorongan" sekitar bebatuan di dalamnya.

Akibatnya, aliran seperti lahar menyembur sulit dihentikan.
Pompakan lumpur

"Kami menemukan satu dari beberapa tempat pemboran menyatakan bahwa Lapindo Brantas memompakan lumpur kedalam lubang untuk menghentikan lumpur itu," kata Davies dalam rilis yang dikutip kantor berita AFP.

Dengan memompakan lumpur, para pengebor berharap membuat tekanan yang cukup di dalam sumur itu untuk menghentikan aliran lumpur meluap.
Bola beton

Bola-bola beton yang dimasukkan gagal hentikan semburan

"Upaya ini cukup berhasil dan luapan lumpur panas berkurang. Bahwa dengan letupan itu berkurang menjadikan bukti bahwa lubang itu terkait dengan lubang lahar ketika terjadi letupan," katanya.

Dia menambahkan, "Ini adalah bukti sangat jelas yang terungkap sejauh ini bahwa lumpur panas Lusi dipicu oleh pengeboran. Kami memiliki data yang rinci yang dikumpulkan selama dua tahun yang menunjukkan kejadian yang menyebabkan terjadinya lumpur Lusi."

Penulis lain makalah itu, Michael Manga dari Universitas California di Berkeley menambahkan gempa Yogyakarta terlalu kecil dan jauh untuk menyebabkan lumpur di Sidoarjo.

"Tekanan yang disebabkan gempa hanya satu menit, lebih kecil dari yang disebabkan gelombang dan cuaca," katanya.

Argumentasi mengenai penyebab menyemburnya lumpur apakah disebabkan kesalahan manusia atau karena alam telah menjadi bahan perdebatan di Indonesia.

Pakar Australia Mark Tingay dari Curtin University of Technology tahun lalu mengatakan, luapan lumpur itu setara dengan pengisian 50 kolam renang standar Olimpiade setiap hari dan bisa berlanjut sampai 30 tahun mendatang.

Discover a Men’s Natural Skin Care Brand

2010-02-13T13:19:00.000-08:00

Let’s face it. The use of a high quality men’s natural skin care brand is exactly what you need in order to help your skin to become healthy. Many people don’t realize how much your skin benefits from being treated with natural compounds. They have properties that make them more effective than anything that man could ever imagine creating for your skin.

I am sure that the question has crossed your mind that if all natural products are so good for your skin, then why is there not more of them available? That is a legitimate query on your part, and I do have an answer for you. The reason that there are so few natural products being offered by the cosmetics industry is that most of the companies simply don’t want to invest the money.

It would be ideal if you were able to walk into any store, and simply pick up a men’s natural skin care brand, but that is not the way that things are. All natural products are scarce, because the organic ingredients needed to make a quality formula cost more money than the chemical agents that you typically find in cosmetics. It is a cost saving move by the cosmetics companies that could cost you in the long run.

I don’t mean that it may cost you monetarily, but rather that you may have to ultimately pay with your health. The truth is that the low cost chemicals that you will find in more than 90% of the skin care products advertised can have an adverse effect on your health. Many of these chemicals are toxic to humans, and this is a fact that has been clinically proven.

Finding a well constructed men’s natural skin care brand is important, if you want to be sure to avoid the possibility of developing cancer, nervous system disorders, and organ toxicity. Plant based ingredients are the order of the day, as they have the ability to moisturize your skin more effectively than other compounds. They also provide nutrients that are essential for skin health.

One of the most important elements of plant based ingredients is that they contain the antioxidants that are necessary to help in ridding the skin of the free radicals that have formed in your body over the years. These free radicals are produced by exposure to the UV radiation that is emitted by the sun. They break your skin down on a cellular level, and contribute greatly to premature aging.

The best men’s natural skin care brand will contain a compound known as Cynergy TK, which is a mixture of proteins and enzymes that together form the most powerful antioxidant ever used in cosmetics. Instead of using one antioxidant molecule to eliminate one free radical, Cynergy TK uses a single molecule to eradicate millions.

Now that you know this, you can clearly see why any men’s natural skin care brand would benefit from having ingredients such as these inside. Make sure that you reap these benefits for yourself, by using only all natural products on your skin from this day forward.

Body Shape Fashion Tips

2010-01-31T07:51:00.000-08:00

Miss America 2010 Winner - Every woman wants to feel and look great. Some women want to look good for their husbands or boyfriends, some for strangers they don't even know and some want it for themselves. The reasons might be different but they can't achieve it without some right body shape fashion tips.

Miss America 2010| Miss America Winner 2010 Fotos Video - I think I can speak for most women and say that one of the most difficult things in our lives is to accept our bodies the way they are, especially when they are not perfect. And usually they're not. But when you can achieve that and find inner peace between you and your body, you'll stop stressing out about your size and start to concentrate on more important things in your life.

The first step to achieve that is to find out what body shape you are and then use mine great body shape fashion tips to disguise your flaws and show the best assets of your body.

There are four common body shapes – pear, apple, hourglass and rectangle. Probably the most common type is pear. Pears have their upper body smaller than lower and when they gain weight it usually goes to their hips and thighs. Because the lower body is larger than the upper one, it's important for pears to find a balance between the two. So if your body shape is pear you should wear fitted tops in bright and light colours with different prints and to make your hips and legs look slimmer you should wear A – line or flared skirts. If you prefer jeans you should wear wide – leg or straight legged jeans in darker colours. Another great fashion tip from mine body shape fashion tips is that if you want to bring attention to your neck and face rather then to your hips, you should wear necklaces and earrings.

Apples have their upper body larger than lower and if they gain weight it usually goes to their waistline. So it's important to draw attention from your waist to your legs. So wear jeans that have a flat front and have back pockets that can give a little bit of curve to your flatter rear. You should stay away from jeans that are too tight as they will make you look even bigger on the top. If you prefer skirts, wear A – line skirts or short skirts that are 1 to 5 inches above the knee. The tops you shouldn't wear with those jeans and skirts are dark tops with too many patterns. And because apples have larger breast don't forget that very important is the right bra.

If you're lucky enough to have an hourglass figure, you've found a balance that most of us, especially pears, are looking for. Because your shoulders and curvy hips are equal in size, you don't have to be afraid of patterns and you should go for tops with V – neck and wear some stretch denim jeans with larger hips and smaller waist. As for skirts you should wear ¾ length or full length skirts. Probably the most valuable of all body shape fashion tips for women with an hourglass figure is – don't hide your body by wearing some baggy clothes.

If you have a rectangle figure you definitely have great legs and you should show them by wearing jeans with a low – rise and with back pockets that will make your bottom look fuller. Or you can wear pencil, A – lined or flared skirts. Because your figure is straight up and down you shouldn't wear vertical patterns as they will make you look even thinner, but rather wear scoop neck or V – neck tops that will make you look curvier.

We are all different in the way we look but we have one thing in common, we always find something we don't like about our bodies. So make the first step to change and find out what your body shape is and use mine body shape fashion tips as they can help you to take the focus of your problem areas and emphasize what is positive on your body. They can even save your time when shopping, as quite often we buy clothes that are unflattering for our figure because they don't have the right cut, colour or print.

And there's another aspect where mine body shape fashion tips can be very useful. They can help you to become more confident, because the way you feel determines the way you look. So feel confident and it definitely will show.

When Charged with a Crime, Get a Good Lawyer

2010-01-26T11:39:00.000-08:00

Salvador Sabañas Balazo video, Some individuals happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and may be innocent when arrested. Other folks may not be so innocent but may be able to get a lesser sentence. Criminal law is discretionary, which means it’s up to the judge or jury and the facts of the case to determine the sentence. Legal knowledge, experience, and prowess are characteristics you need in an attorney. These are the necessary traits needed to effectively communicate your side of the story. Not to say these traits are never found in a Public Defender but let’s be honest. Most Public Defenders lack the motivation and the time to get all the facts together and get your point across.

Salvador Cabanas, Like the Public Defender, the criminal Prosecutor is an employee of the County or State. Though it’s a defense attorney’s obligation to defend the client vigorously and completely within the bounds of the law, do you think there is a “conflict of interest” if your defense attorney is employed by the same County as the attorney prosecuting your case? In my opinion, I think yes. A bigger issue is that public defenders are often boggled down with too many cases. If your public defender has twenty other cases to handle in a week, how much time do you think he/she has to devote to your case? It’s a criminal defense attorney’s duty to defend you to the best of his/her ability. However, lack of time to devote to your case can affect his/her ability to defend you.

A private attorney is a self employed individual who makes time to defend you properly because you have hired him/her to do so. He/she is employed by you and decides how many cases to take. The private attorney is motivated by capital and his/her own work ethic, principles and reputation. The best defense knows that taking the time to record all the facts to formulate a great plan can prove your innocence. Or that mitigating circumstances can help you get a lighter sentence. You will find it worth the money to have a good defense. There are a few steps you can follow to find a good lawyer.

The first step is to bail out of jail. Many bail bondsmen will offer an 8% bail rate for defendants that have hired an attorney or intend to hire an attorney. Perception goes a long way in judging ones character. If you do not bail out, you are seen in an orange jump suit behind court bars or in handcuffs. The perception is that you are a criminal. If you bail out and go to court on your own, dressed in a suit or shirt and tie you are likely thought of as responsible. The fact that you show up to court while on bail shows that you are responsible as well. Once you are out of jail you can also take the next steps in finding a good lawyer.

The next step is to take the time to find an attorney you are comfortable with and that you believe can get your point across to the Judge and/or Jury. The good thing about bail is that your court date usually gets pushed back a few weeks or more and you have time to find an attorney to get your case prepared. Ask friends and family if they know of a good criminal defense attorney. Most good attorneys have a great reputation. People will have heard about them or worked with them and will want to tell you how good they are. Next look in your local yellow pages or look online for some names of attorneys who specialize in criminal defense. Some of the best defense attorneys were once criminal prosecutors. Call several, not just one or two, prospective attorneys and give them a phone interview. Tell them about your case and see what they say. Then make appointments to meet in person with the attorneys you liked best over the phone. The cost of a consultation is usually free. Before you go to your personal interview make a list of good questions to ask. Remember, you are looking to hire so think of yourself as the employer. See how they answer your questions; get a good feel of work ethic, principles and/or beliefs. Make sure you get a good sense of who will make you comfortable and why they make you comfortable. The personal interview with your prospective attorney should reveal the most about who you choose.

The lawyer you choose should be who you believe will convey your side of the case effectively. Chose the attorney that will take the time to listen to you and help you formulate a great legal plan. Also make sure he/she makes you feel comfortable and confident. The ability to communicate your side of the case will depend on your lawyer’s legal knowledge, experience, and skill. These are the characteristics you should look for in your phone and personal interviews to find a good lawyer.

Gempa Haiti yang telah menewaskan ratusan ribu manusia serta menghancurkangedung - gedung bertingkat di negara Haiti sebagai salah satu negara miskin di dunia ini,membuat kita semua merasa sedih serta trenyuh melihat penderitaan yang mereka alami selam terjadinya Gempa Haiti serta akibat dari peristiwa tersebut.

Video Gempa Haiti yang bisa kita lihat serta saksikan telah menggambarkan keadaan di negara tersebut yang sungguh membuat kita sedih, pilu serta duka yang begitu mendalam.Angka kematian korban gempa Haiti yang bisa dikonfirmasi naik menjadi sekitar 150 ribu jiwa untuk Port-au-Prince saja, kata seorang menteri pemerintahan negara itu.

Menteri Komunikasi Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue mengatakan kepada kantor berita AP bahwa penghitungan itu berdasar mayat yang berhasil diambil dan dihitung di ibukota oleh sebuah perusahaan bernama CNE.

Masih banyak mayat yang belum berhasil diambil karena tertimbun reruntuhan, termasuk di kota Jacmel dan Leogane.

Pencarian korban secara resmi telah dihentikan dan konsentrasi telah beralih ke persoalan bantuan.

Tingginya angka korban membuat gempa tanggal 12 Januari tersebut tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi sebagai bencana alam terburuk dalam beberapa tahun terakhir.

Ada yang mengatakan gempa berkekuatan 7 pada skala Richter itu menewaskan setidaknya 200 ribu orang dan sekitar satu setengah juta orang kehilangan tempat tinggal.

Lassegue mengatakan pemerintah masih sulit untuk memastikan jumlah mereka yang tewas.

''Tak ada yang tahu pasti berapa yang masih terkubur di reruntuhan, 200 ribu, 300 ribu? Siapa yang tahu?'' kutip Associated Press hari Minggu.

Pada hari Sabtu ia mengatakan kepada para wartawan bahwa rumah sakit menerima sekitar 10 ribu mayat dan telah diserahkan kepada CNE untuk dikuburkan.

Setidaknya 75 ribu mayat telah dikuburkan disebuah kuburan massal sejak bencana terjadi. Banyak mayat yang juga telah dibakar.
Keperluan mendesak

Apa yang sedang kita alami ini belum berakhir, kita harus membangun kembali negara ini dan membangun keimanan kita. Sebagai warga Haiti ini sangat menyakitkan

Pastor Glanda Toussaint

Ribuan orang menghadiri misa di tempat terbuka baik itu di Port-au-Prince, Leogane yang menjadi pusat gempa bumi, maupun di berbagai daerah lain.

Sehari setelah pemakaman Uskup Agung Port-au-Prince, Pastor Glanda Toussaint memimpin misa dengan menggunakan meja kayu seadanya di tengah reruntuhan katedral.

Dalam khotbahnya ia mengatakan: ''Apa yang sedang kita alami ini belum berakhir, kita harus membangun kembali negara ini dan membangun keimanan kita. Sebagai warga Haiti ini sangat menyakitkan.''

Sementara itu wartawan BBC di Port-au-Prince melaporkan bahwa beberapa tanda kehidupan normal mulai kelihatan dengan munculnya pedagang buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran. Beberapa toko dan bank juga mulai kelihatan buka.

Antrian panjang untuk mengambil uang terbentuk, dengan harga makanan membubung tinggi, dan banyak warga Haiti makan seadanya.

PBB mengatakan lebih dari 130 ribu orang telah direlokasi keluar dari Port-au-Prince oleh pemerintah untuk meringankan beban kepadatan. Sebagian lainnya meninggalkan kota secara sukarela.

Tips for Making it an Enjoyable Vacation!

2010-01-23T05:03:00.000-08:00

Indonesia java International destination, Do you have a favorite destination? Do you think it would be a pain to take your dog with you? More and more families are traveling with their pets and finding it to be very enjoyable for both the pet and the family.

Tip #1 - Are you planning the type of vacation where your dog is not too much interference? If you are planning a trip where you will be gone from sun up to sun down every day at parks or attractions where dogs are not allowed, your pet will be happier left in his own home or that of a trusted provider. However, if you are going hiking or just relaxing, it is fun to have your companion at your side.

Tip #2 - Always look for a hotel before your trip and check the rules. Can a pet be left in the room unattended? Is crating an unattended dog a requirement? I, personally, would not stay at a hotel where I could not leave my dog unattended and crated. It would be too hard to eat out, shop, or anything else you might want to do for short periods of time.

Tip #3 - Pack a special bag with food, medication, leashes, toys, treats, and bed if one is used. Make the routine familiar.

Tip #4 - Plan your hikes or other activities where you can take your dog. Check the rules before hand. Go to a destination that is pet friendly. Please take bags and pick up and discard waste. If everyone is responsible, more destinations will welcome dogs.

Tip #5 - Remember, your pet is in unfamiliar surroundings and can easily get into trouble. Keeping them on a leash is a good idea. The wildlife and certain plants can be a hazard.

Tip #6 - If your dog is an uncontrollable barker, consider renting a cabin or other disconnected lodging facility so the other tenants are not bothered.

Tip #7 - Have your dog microchipped and have ID tags on your pet. The best ID tag is one with an 800 emergency number so you or other contacts can be reached immediately. Your veterinarian information is also immediately available.

Tip #8 - Make sure the people on your contact list know where you are staying and how to get in touch with you in case they receive a call regarding your pet.

Tip #9 - Make sure your dog is up-to-date on vaccinations and have proof in your possession.

Tip #10 - Most of all, ENJOY your vacation and your time with man's (and woman's) best friend!

Skimmer ATM Harganya Cukup Murah

2010-01-21T23:41:00.000-08:00

Skimmer ATM| Kenali Waspadai Skimmer ATM - Skimmer mencuat sejak maraknya kasus pembobolan dana nasabah melalui anjungan tunai mandiri (ATM) belakangan ini. Sebetulnya, alat ini sudah lama beredar dan bahkan dengan mudah bisa didapat.

“Skimmer itu istilah untuk alat kejahatan. Padahal sebetulnya, awalnya alat magnetik reader atau writer untuk membaca data magnet di kartu dan membuat kartu baru. Tapi yang terjadi skimmer dimodifikasi menjadi alat kejahatan,” ungkap ahli IT Ruby Alamsyah saat dihubungi okezone, Jumat (22/1/2010).

Dia menganalogikan skimmer dengan pisau. Pisau memiliki fungsi positif dalam kehidupan sehari-hari tapi di tangan pembunuh bisa jadi alat kejahatan yaitu untuk membunuh.

“Jadi modus operandi orang ini (pelaku pembobolan) tidak beli di Indonesia, melainkan di luar negeri yang sudah diubah sedemikian rupa dan tinggal dipasang,” tuturnya.

Lebih lanjut Ruby menerangkan, skimmer ini bisa dijual secara terpisah yaitu magnetic reader atau writer dengan alat lain seperti kamera. Namun bisa juga dibeli dalam satu paket di mana di dalamnya terdapat skimmer, kamera, dan alat lainnya.

Soal harga, Ruby menjelaskan, untuk skimmer nonpaket kisaran harganya mulai di bawah Rp1 juta-Rp3 juta. Sedangkan skimmer paket mulai dari USD1.000-USD1.500.

Seperti diketahui, menurut hasil penyelidikan, pembobolan bank dilakukan dengan menggunakan skimmer di mana dari alat itu, kartu ATM milik nasabah bank yang sedang melakukan transaksi bisa “terbaca”.

Selanjutnya, pelaku membuat kartu ATM “bodong” dengan identitas kartu seperti yang sudah ditirukan. Soal PIN, pelaku menggunakan kamera untuk “membaca” dan mengintai gerak tangan nasabah saat bertransaksi di ATM.

Skimmer ini dipasang di tempat masuk dan keluarnya kartu di mesin ATM.

HTC Magic: Its Key Features

2010-01-20T19:53:00.000-08:00

Ramalan Bintang | Ramalan Cinta | Ramalan jodoh - The HTC Magic comes in a very sleek design that rivals that of other mobile phones today. It certainly grabs attention from people and even with a plastic shell; the mobile phone feels solid when held. Another benefit of this phone is its weight, which is very light (although some might wish it to be a bit heavier since making it too light might make it appear cheaper than it should). It is also thinner than the HTC Dream, its predecessor, and the trademark “chin” was retained to allow the screen to have some level of protection when dropped. But the “chin” is now more of a gentle curve to allow it to sit nicely in the palm of your hand.

Overall, the look is as eye catching as most other phones are, which is definetly a positive.

The System and Other Features

The HTC Magic is powered by the Android operating system and is already pre-installed with software that allows for access to Google services that include Gmail, Google Maps, Youtube and Google Search.

Its interface has also been upgraded to a more stylish look. It allows a person to swipe for right to left with ease, dragging icons around the screen by merely long-pressing them (they can even delete these icons easily by dragging them to the bottom of the screen where the garbage bin is found).

It now also comes with an onscreen keyboard, a Home key, a Back key, a Menu Key, Search Key, Call and End buttons and a trackball, which provides enough navigation capabilities and extremely easy to use with one hand.

It also features a 3.2 megapixel camera that has great imaging capabilities, and video capture. And with the brightly lit touch screen, photos are vivid and have a crisp quality to them.

The HTC Magic is also equipped with a new WebKit browser engine as well as a JavaScript engine that can provide a richer and more pleasing browsing experience. The browser also comes a very efficient and useful book marking system. The mobile phone also supports Wi-Fi connectivity, and Bluetooth.

Overall

Overall, the HTC Magic is a very good smartphone, a definite upgrade from it predecessors but it does still have a few flaws. It does not have out-of-the-box MS Exchange support as well as a 3.5 mm headphone jack that should be the standard for all smartphones. There is also no video call camera, and USB connectivity with a Mac or a PC takes time to get used to. All in all, the mobile phone from HTC is not a perfect phone but it is still worth considering when shopping for a new smartphone.

Does Travel Cause You Back Pain?

2010-01-19T14:21:00.000-08:00

Indonesia Java International destination, The old saying goes: "Vacations are fun, but traveling is a pain in the neck!" Actually, traveling can be an even bigger pain in the back.

The stress of making plans, packing the essentials, getting to the airport on time, waiting to check in and the whole security scenario really pack a tough one-two psychological punch to the low back.

Then there's the physical stress and strain of lifting bags, dragging them through the parking lots and airport, carrying all those over-stuffed carry-ons with gifts and paperbacks.

But the number one complaint by plain, train and automobile travelers—when describing the onset of their back pain - is sitting for too long. Airplanes and even trains advertise that their seats were ergonomically designed by specialists to properly support to low back and neck during travel. But I know the one's I sit in feel horrible. And it's not only me... people complain about them all the time, and their continuous pain gives them fair reason.

Luckily, the pain associated with travel can be greatly reduced, and in many cases avoided, with these simple tips:

- To reduce stress-induced muscle cramping and pain in the neck, shoulders and low back, it is advisable to plan your trip well in advance, pack two days before, load suitcases in the car the night before, use online check-in to reserve your seat, and check your bags at the curb. These seemingly little things can reduce the stress and anxiety of rushing around, waiting in lines, and dragging bags. If planned and executed well, the low back pain associated with stress can be avoided.

- Only pack what is absolutely necessary for your carry on. Each family member gets one carry on, plus a purse (for ladies). To avoid the neck and shoulder strain of lugging these around, and of trying to place them into and remove them from the overhead compartment, the lighter the better.

- The poor seating designs of most travel vehicles cause back pain due to incorrect support of the spine, and forward pitching of the shoulders. To avoid this, always bring a small pillow, or use one that is offered and place it behind your low back or neck for support. If I can't find an in-flight pillow to use, I will roll up my jacket or even the inflight magazines, and use them as supports. Seated posture is so important for preventing strain to the spine, and pain to the neck, shoulders and low back that by whatever means... find and use a support.

- Be sure to remain well hydrated during your travel time. One of the most basic, yet common, causes of pain is dehydration. Not having enough fluid in the body to keep the body cool, the blood moving, the muscles supple and the tendons relaxed. Not only must you drink plenty of water, but you must also avoid coffee, tea and soda during travel, as these all cause you to sweat, urinate... to dehydrate.

- If you are taking a long drive, train ride or flight, be sure to get up and move every hour. Simply standing up for a few minutes and doing some light stretching, twisting or bending will help keep you limber, relaxed and the blood moving in and out of the muscles. And when the blood does not move or moves too slowly, the muscles and tendons become tight and painful!

- And lastly, be sure that when lifting bags, holding children and reaching for items that you plant your feet flat for support and bend from the knees. Incorrect lifting or over-reaching for items is one of the most common causes of back pain... and one of the easiest to avoid.

Travel does not have to be as stressful or painful as many of us make it out to be. If we plan well, execute well and take care of our bodies while in transit... the trip will be painless. And what better way to relax on vacation or arrive on business after travel, than stress free, hydrated, supple and... pain free!

Know Your Earthquakes

2010-01-16T05:57:00.000-08:00

Gempa Haiti, An earthquake is characterised by vibrations generated in the crust of the Earth during the sudden rupture of rocks that accumulated elastic strain and then rebounds. The vibrations produced can vary from hardly perceptible to appallingly damaging. Earthquakes have the potential of releasing energy more than a thousand times greater than the world's first atomic bomb.

There are three general types of earthquakes being recognised: volcanic, tectonic, and artificially produced. Among the three, the tectonic type is by far the most destructive, and this same type of earthquake establish specific intricacies for scientists attempting to build on methods of predicting them

Earthquakes bring about several aspects of concern to the people residing in these so-called seismically active areas. This natural calamity can produce immense loss of life by annihilating structures like bridges, buildings, dams, and other infrastructures and it can even start devastating landslides.

Another fatal result of earthquakes is the creation, oftentimes by undersea vibrations, of so-called tidal waves. Since such waves are not related to the tides, they are more appropriately called as seismic sea waves or tsunamis. These high rising walls of water have smacked inhabited coastal areas with such fierce rage that whole towns have been damaged.

Seismologists, the scientists who study earthquakes, have created two measurement scales that would enable them to categorise earthquakes quantitatively. First is the Richter scale, which was coined in honor of the American seismologist Charles Francis Richter. It gauges the energy given off at the focus of a quake. Its scale ranges from 1 to 9. One being the weakest and 9 as the most destructive.

The other scale is the Mercalli scale that was introduced during the start of the 20th century by the Italian seismologist Giuseppe Mercalli. It measures the intensity of shaking with gradations from I to XII. The Mercalli rating depends on the site where the measurement was taken since the seismic surface effects decrease with distance from the focus of the quake. Intensity I on the Mercalli scale is described as an earthquake perceived by very few people, while intensity XII is designated to a disastrous occurrence that brings about full-blown devastation.

Efforts on forecasting the time and place earthquakes will take place have had some positive accomplishments in recent times. At the moment, countries like Russia, Japan, China, and the United States are the nations putting in significant efforts to support earthquake research. Several predicted occurrences of earthquakes date back in 1975 when the Chinese forecasted a 7.3 Richter scale magnitude quake at Haicheng, that made them evacuate less than a hundred thousand inhabitants only a couple of days before the quake actually happened which damaged or destroyed 90 per cent of the city's buildings. Low-magnitude vibrations or tremors or foreshocks are some indicators of an incoming earthquake. Some other possible hints being inspected are bulging or titling of land surfaces and modifications in the magnetic field of the earth, in the depth of wells, and even in behaviour of animals.

Examining the Symptoms of Menopause

2010-01-14T05:07:00.000-08:00

Ramalan Bintang, Women may know that menopause is a normal and inevitable part of their lives. However, they may lack some knowledge as to the changes that could happen to their bodies during this stage in their life.

The change of the levels of progesterone and estrogen, which are the two female hormones that are produced less and less during menopause, could bring about different symptoms. While women may have less problems or none at all when it comes to menopause, there may be others that may feel some slight to worse discomfort.

Common symptoms of menopause and what can be expected from them:

* Irregular periods. One of the symptoms of menopause that can be experienced first is the change in the menstrual period. Usually this could be noted by their irregularity. They could also be lighter than normal or heavier periods.

There are women who would experience heavy bleeding for a number of days. Periods that last for more than ten days or are experienced after three weeks or less are also common symptoms. Vaginal spotting in between periods may also occur.

* Problems with the bladder or the vagina. As the levels of estrogen change, the body tissue found in the genital area can become thinner and drier. This dryness can cause painful sexual intercourse for women. Right before menopause, it is also possible that a vaginal infection may be experienced.

As you age, it is even expected for women to start having problems with their urinary tract. These could be in the form of infections and trouble in holding the urine when you need to urinate or may experience what is known as urge incontinence. Women might also experience problems in holding their urine when they cough, sneeze, laugh, step down, or run or what is also called as stress incontinence. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is best to see your physician.

* Hot flashes. Getting a hot flash is very common during the stage before menopause. This is characterized by experiencing a sudden radiation of heat on the upper extremities of the body or all over. Usually your neck and face would become flushed and red blotches may be seen on your back, chest and arms. This could be followed by cold shivering and heavy sweating.

While flashes can be as mild as just having a light blush, they could also be severe enough to wake you up from a very sound sleep, which is also known as night sweats. Most hot flashes last from 30 seconds to five minutes and should go away within a few years from the start of menopause.

* Sex. Using birth control should not be stopped unless a whole year without getting a period is already experienced. This is if you no longer want to get pregnant. When menopause begins, it is common to experience a change in your feelings toward sex. Because of hormonal changes, sexual arousal may be difficult. There could also be discomfort during sexual intercourse because of the vaginal changes that may occur.

However, there are also others that might feel sexier and freer after menopause. This is because there is already no risk for pregnancy.

Rin Sakuragi Masih Hangat

2010-01-03T11:44:00.000-08:00

Rin Sakuragi pemeran film Suster Keramas masih sangat hangat.Berbeda dengan Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) Samarinda yang secara tegas melarang pemutaran film ‘Suster Keramas’, pihak MUI Kota Madinatul Iman justru lamban dalam menyikapinya. Dalam waktu dekat, MUI Balikpapan baru akan membahas dan menentukan sikap terhadap film horor Indonesia dengan salah satu aktrisnya merupakan bintang film Porno asal Jepang, Rin Sakuragi.

“Kita belum membahas, karena kita memang belum memahami isi film dan permasalahannya. Tapi nanti akan segera kita rapatkan, kalau memang masalah ini penting dan berdampak pada masyarakat Balikpapan,” ujar Sekretaris MUI Balikpapan, Drs HM Jailani.

Perlu diketahui, MUI Samarinda punya alasan yang jelas menolak pemutaran film Suster Keramas yakni judul film Suster Keramas mengandung pengertian bahwa "keramas" berkonotasi mandi sehabis bersetubuh, Rin Sakuragi adalah bintang film porno asal Jepang, film ini menampilkan adegan syur dengan akting wanita membuka pakaian di hadapan dua orang laki-laki.

Selain itu, MUI menilai film Suster Keramas tidak mengandung unsur edukatif sehingga bisa mengundang protes banyak orang, serta banyak menuai kontroversi dalam masyarakat. Penolakan film horor terbaru Indonesia itu disampaikan langsung Ketua MUI Samarinda, KH Zaini Naim.

Pada Kamis (31/12) lalu, Manajemen Cinema 21 SCP memutar film itu untuk kalangan terbatas dengan mengundang elemen dari MUI, Dinas Kebudayaan Pariwisata dan Kominfo Samarinda serta ormas islam yang diwakili Front Pembelas Islam (FPI).

Undangan ini dimaksudkan agar mereka bisa memberikan penilaian lebih dulu sebelum memutuskan apakah film tersebut layak diputar atau tidak. "Sama seperti yang saya katakan sebelumnya. Saya tetap menolak pemutaran film Suster Keramas ini. Film ini lebih menonjolkan tayangan berbau erotis dan mistis. Tidak ada unsur edukatif dalam film ini," tegas Zaini.

Lantas apakah MUI Balikpapan mendukung rekomendasi MUI Samarinda terhadap penolakan pemutaran film Suster Keramas yang belum tayang di Kota Beriman. Jailani menjawab dirinya belum bisa memutuskan, sebab MUI Balikpapan perlu melakukan kajian terlebih dahulu. “Tapi biasanya memang kalau MUI daerah memutuskan, apalagi MUI Provinsi Kaltim sudah merekomendasi, kita (MUI Balikpapan, Red) juga mengikutinya.

Tapi MUI Balikpapan juga harus punya persepsi yang sama,” terang Jailani dihubungi melalui telepon selulernya. Kemarin diberitakan, Manager Studio Cinemax XXI Balikpapan, Sarono mengatakan, pihaknya tidak bisa memutuskan apakah film Suster Keramas akan tetap diputar atau tidak. Dia masih menunggu instruksi dari manajemen Cinema XXI Pusat. “Semuanya tergantung dari pusat. Saya di sini sekadar memutar film.

Saya juga menunggu pernyataan pihak terkait yang kalau memang melarang pemutaran film ini,” ujar Surono kepada Post Metro, Jumat (1/1). Dijelaskannya, film yang diproduseri pihak Maxima Pictures ini juga menjadi perdebatan di beberapa daerah di Indonesia, termasuk Samarinda.

Oleh sebab itu, Cinemax XXI Balikpapan juga belum bisa memutar film “Suster Keramas”. Padahal animo masyarakat Balikpapan yang hendak menonton film juga begitu banyak, ini terlihat dari banyaknya pengunjung XXI yang menanyakan ke pegawai melalui counter penjualan tiket. “Banyak daerah yang belum bisa memutar, termasuk Samarinda karena dianggap kontroversial dan mengalami penolakan dari berbagai pihak.

Makanya kita juga belum bisa memutar,” imbuh Surono. Ia menerangkan bahawa materi film yang dinilai begitu vulgar tidak ada hubungannya dengan Cinemax XXI. Sebab, permasalahan tersebut murni menjadi tanggung jawab produksi film, bukan Cinamax XXI sebagai bioskop pemutar film.

Berita Hangat Runtuhnya Gedung Metro Tanah Abang

2009-12-23T04:20:00.000-08:00

Video Runtuh / Roboh Bangunan Metro Tanah Abang Jakarta telah banyak dicari orang yang ingin mengetahui dengan pasti tentang kejadian yang sebenarnya itu. Memang berita ini runtuhnya bangunan itu terjadi pada pagi tadi sekitar jam 10 pagi. Namun untuk memastikan penyebabnya butuh waktu serta penyelidikan yang akurat dan segera dilakukan aparat yang berwenang.

DPRD DKI meminta Pemprov DKI agar menyelidiki penyebab jatuhnya bangunan tambahan di gedung pusat perbelanjaan Metro Tanah Abang, Jakarta Pusat, dan memberikan sanksi berat sesuai tingkat pelanggaran.

"Seandainya pengawasannya detail mulai dari pondasi dan struktur profesional, tidak akan terjadi kecelakaan ini. Harus ditelusuri yang bertanggung jawab atas pemberian izin bangunan dan dikenakan sanksi yang tegas," kata anggota Komisi D DPRD DKI Nurmansjah Lubis di Jakarta, Rabu.

Dua orang tewas dan 12 orang luka ringan dan berat akibat bangunan tambahan di gedung Metro Tanah Abang runtuh Rabu (23/12) pagi pukul 10.00 WIB.

Nurmansjah menyebut kecelakaan itu sebagai persoalan serius dan ia mencurigai Dinas terkait tidak mengevaluasi secara mendalam tentang fondasi dan struktur bangunan sebelum memberikan izin.

"Tingkat pengawasan pembangunan konstruksi juga sangat lemah," tambahnya.

Sementara anggota Komisi D lainnya, Maringan Pangaribuan dari Fraksi PDIP meminta polisi bertindak tegas kepada pemilik bangunan.

"Polri atau instansi terkait agar menahan pimpinan atau pengelola gedung yang membangun tanpa izin itu sehingga rubuh dan menelan korban jiwa maupun luka," katanya.

Kepala Dinas Pengawasan dan Penertiban Bangunan (P2B) Hari Sasongko mengatakan bahwa bangunan tambahan tersebut tidak berizin, dan dibangun secara ilegal.

"Pengawasan tidak dilakukan karena memang tidak ada dalam izin bangunan," kata Hari.

Namun Dinas P2B disebutnya akan mengevaluasi ulang perizinan yang diberikan kepada pemilik gedung PT Rointa maupun pengembang PT Jagad Baja Prima Utama.

"Sekarang semua kegiatan dihentikan kecuali kegiatan evakuasi. Besok gedung akan disegel," kata Hari.

Sementara Wakil Gubernur DKI Prijanto meminta dinas terkait untuk melakukan evaluasi terhadap seluruh bangunan terutama yang berpotensi bahaya.

"Bukan hanya dievaluasi saja, bangunan-bangunan tanpa izin kalau salah langsung dibongkar dan diproses hukum," katanya.

The Premier Film Location

2009-12-15T08:35:00.000-08:00

Film Blind Side Movie Trailer.When you are planning your next get-a-way to a remote location in the South Pacific, you have more choices that you can count. So, how do you choose? Well, if you are a film buff, or a Lord of the Rings Trilogy fan, and you sat in awe at the breathtaking scenery that surrounded the actors, then look no further than New Zealand for your next vacation.

Located at the most western tip of the Polynesian Triangle of islands, and Australia's next door neighbor, New Zealand is the perfect place to explore beautiful forests, soft sandy beaches, and create some wonderful vacation memories that will last a lifetime. New Zealand has also become home to some of the highest-grossing films of the decade, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Each one of the movies in the trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, were all shot on location here in New Zealand. This island paradise was chosen for its lush forests and rolling hills, the wastelands of the volcanic fields, and even the snowy, icy mountain tops set on top of the abandoned mines. The director specifically chose the island of New Zealand for all of these locations set on one magnificent island. And, if you enjoyed the movies and the scenery, you can now visit these beautiful places for yourself.

So many different sites were used all over the island of New Zealand, that the director even filmed in some of the conservation areas and national parks to find some of the most beautiful, untouched land possible. Although there were special problems that found the filmmakers in these locations, they were all over come to create the movies that you know and love.

You can visit the Elvin city of Rivendell, with its breathtaking waterfalls and crystal clear streams in one of the conservation sites on New Zealand. Not many people know that none of the water was added to the waterfalls or streams during the movie, but the waterfalls and streams were put on a closed system so that no water would escape and they would always be full for shooting the scenes. If there were plants that had to be moved, a conservation group helped move them to a special greenhouse where they were cared for and taken care of until the filming was complete and they were replanted. The filmmakers even laid down thousands of yards of carpeting to keep the footprints and hooves from scaring the landscape when there was a battle scene that needed to be shot.

While visiting New Zealand, you can visit the same sites where the movies were filmed, but you might not even know that they were ever there due to the amazing care that the filmmakers and cast showed to the landscape while filming. So, when you visit, the scenery will be every bit as wonderful as it was on the movies. There are even tours that have sprung up to take you to the very spots where the movies were filmed so you can stand in the exact spots where some of your favorite actors and actresses stood. You can find these tours, or create your own, through New Zealand's Tourism Centers and create a unique adventure that will last a lifetime.

Chartered Plane Rides

2009-12-10T11:11:00.000-08:00

I have Video UFO If convenience in air travel is what you are looking for, then what better way to go about your trip than by chartering a private jet to take you places? Aside from the obvious fact that you have the plane for yourself, you can also do away with problems concerning security and the inconvenience of dealing with other people you would prefer not to encounter.

If UFO that is you think about this kind of air travel as a good choice in order to experience luxury and a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel like a royalty, you have to think again. Chartering a private aircraft for the purposes of traveling from one place to another actually has disadvantages that would not have been prevalent when you had your travel as a simple couch flyer in a commuter aircraft. The obvious critique is the absurd cost, when chartering a private aircraft you actually pay convenience for the value of air tickets in two hundred folds or even more. A chartered flight actually is the most expensive type of transportation available in the field of transportation today. Aside from the fact that you pay on the basis of miles traveled, you need to take into consideration also the fact that you actually provide a different payment for the personnel thereof.

Another disadvantage of flying a chartered plane is the fact that the diligence adopted by the person in control of the same is only ordinary diligence, and not the extraordinary diligence warranted in commuter flights. Now what is the difference in these duties of care and how would it negatively affect the use of chartered flights?

Extraordinary diligence is the diligence required to be exercised by common carriers as part of the office of their functions. It actually means the adoption of that level of care taking into consideration all circumstances of time, people, and place. The duty of a common carrier is to prove that this amount of care have actually been complied with, and in any case that there would be an accident resulting from the conduct of their functions then the presumption is that the common care failed to exercise that amount of care incumbent upon it to perform. This type of diligence is incumbent upon commuter flights to adopt. On the other hand, chartered flights, not being a common carrier because of its already private nature are only required to adopt that level of care a good father of a family is incumbent to take, and that is ordinary diligence in the conduct of its proceedings.

Christmas Cupcake Decorations

2009-12-08T19:52:00.000-08:00

The History Of Christmas Video and Everyone loves Christmas and you'll probably agree that decorations are a major part of the holiday. And what would Christmas be without all the baked goodies and sweet treats? As for me and my family, this involves cupcake decorations. The inclination to over-indulge in such sweets is more common around the holidays. So, I sincerely hope you’ll enjoy these artistic and quirky Christmas cupcake ideas - crafting as well as eating them.

Christmas Party
• Begin with your favorite cupcake recipe by baking them or buying a ready-made one from your favorite bakeshop. Generously top them with white frosting, add some shredded coconut, dust it with a powdered or confectioner’s sugar and voila! a mini-winter-wonderland in a yummy cup.

• These are great for parties all year-round and particularly at Christmas time. The idea is to form a miniature Christmas present at the top each cupcake. Use an assortment of icing colors; red licorice works well for the ribbons and bows. Pitch in a small amount of sprinkles, if preferred.

• Santa's face never look so yummy! Top each of your favorite cupcakes with a red frosting on one side and white on the other. Put some mini marshmallows at the border separating the two colors, forming it as Santa's hat brim. Cautiously use brown chocolate or green frosting to form his face on the white side of the icing. You may use, round candies for Santa's eyes and nose. Thin out strips of various edible goodies such as fruit roll-up cutouts, and thin licorice whips, to use as Santa’s smiling lips.

• These snowman cupcakes are definitely going to be a hit. White icing should be placed to form the base making it look like a snow on the ground. Put a big marshmallow, and then add a little one above to shape the body of Frosty the Snowman. Insert a toothpick vertically through both marshmallows to hold Frosty together. Use small candies of your choice for her eyes, nose, held in place with a small bit of frosting. Try on a small piece of Tootsie Roll for his hat. Frosty won't likely melt ... but I’m sure she won't last long, either!

• For this next one, we will try to make a Christmas tree made of cupcakes. You'll need about one and half dozen cupcakes, and a rightfully big, festive platter to hold them all. Top all, except the last four, of your cupcakes with a green icing. The last four should be frosted in brown chocolate. Basically arrange the four brown-topped cakes at one end of the plate, shaping a tree trunk. Arrange your green cupcakes above the brown ones, in a shape of a triangle forming the shape of a tree. As for the decorations, use small chocolates candies of different shapes and colors. As usual, you can't go wrong using grated coconut as snow, and red licorice makes a great garland. Try on some tubes of gel icing, in an assortment of colors, which can be bought at any supermarkets, party supplies stores, and baking supplies stores.

I am hopeful that these will inspire you to come up with your own fantastic, artistic, and one of a kind creations!
