||Anniversary|| .:Merry Christmas:.
(Dec 24, 2008)
Merry Christmas
GOD WILL ALWAYS BLESS US
The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.
Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god - Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Year's festival that lasted for 12 days.
The Mesopotamian king would return to the temple of Marduk and swear his faithfulness to the god. The traditions called for the king to die at the end of the year and to return with Marduk to battle at his side.
To spare their king, the Mesopotamians used the idea of a "mock" king. A criminal was chosen and dressed in royal clothes. He was given all the respect and privileges of a real king. At the end of the celebration the "mock" king was stripped of the royal clothes and slain, sparing the life of the real king.
The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey.
Early Europeans believed in evil spirits, witches, ghosts and trolls. As the Winter Solstice approached, with its long cold nights and short days, many people feared the sun would not return. Special rituals and celebrations were held to welcome back the sun.
In Scandinavia during the winter months the sun would disappear for many days. After thirty-five days scouts would be sent to the mountain tops to look for the return of the sun. When the first light was seen the scouts would return with the good news. A great festival would be held, called the Yuletide, and a special feast would be served around a fire burning with the Yule log. Great bonfires would also be lit to celebrate the return of the sun. In some areas people would tie apples to branches of trees to remind themselves that spring and summer would return.
The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.
The Roman's celebrated their god Saturn. Their festival was called Saturnalia which began the middle of December and ended January 1st. With cries of "Jo Saturnalia!" the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Strenae (lucky fruits).
The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. Again the masters and slaves would exchange places
"Jo Saturnalia!" was a fun and festive time for the Romans, but the Christians though it an abomination to honor the pagan god. The early Christians wanted to keep the birthday of their Christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan Saturnalia.
But as Christianity spread they were alarmed by the continuing celebration of pagan customs and Saturnalia among their converts. At first the Church forbid this kind of celebration. But it was to no avail. Eventually it was decided that the celebration would be tamed and made into a celebration fit for the Christian Son of God.
Some legends claim that the Christian "Christmas" celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithraism was one of Christianity's main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.
The exact day of the Christ child's birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas.

The History of Santa Claus
"American Origins: (As sent to me by Brian Dodd)
Quote from ENCARTA 95
The American version of the Santa Claus figure received its inspiration and its name from the Dutch legend of Sinter Klaas, brought by settlers to New York in the 17th century.
As early as 1773 the name appeared in the American press as "St. A Claus," but it was the popular author Washington Irving who gave Americans their first detailed information about the Dutch version of Saint Nicholas. In his History of New York, published in 1809 under the pseudonym Diedrich Knickerbocker, Irving described the arrival of the saint on horseback (unaccompanied by Black Peter) each Eve of Saint Nicholas.
This Dutch-American Saint Nick achieved his fully Americanized form in 1823 in the poem A Visit From Saint Nicholas more commonly known as The Night Before Christmas by writer Clement Clarke Moore. Moore included such details as the names of the reindeer; Santa Claus's laughs, winks, and nods; and the method by which Saint Nicholas, referred to as an elf, returns up the chimney. (Moore's phrase "lays his finger aside of his nose" was drawn directly from Irving's 1809 description.)
The American image of Santa Claus was further elaborated by illustrator Thomas Nast, who depicted a rotund Santa for Christmas issues of Harper's magazine from the 1860s to the 1880s. Nast added such details as Santa's workshop at the North Pole and Santa's list of the good and bad children of the world. A human-sized version of Santa Claus, rather than the elf of Moore's poem, was depicted in a series of illustrations for Coca-Cola advertisements introduced in 1931. In modern versions of the Santa Claus legend, only his toy-shop workers are elves. Rudolph, the ninth reindeer, with a red and shiny nose, was invented in 1939 by an advertising writer for the Montgomery Ward Company.
In looking for the historical roots of Santa Claus, one must go very deep in the past. One discovers that Santa Claus as we know him is a combination of many different legends and mythical creatures.
The basis for the Christian-era Santa Claus is Bishop Nicholas of Smyrna (Izmir), in what is now Turkey. Nicholas lived in the 4th century A.D. He was very rich, generous, and loving toward children. Often he gave joy to poor children by throwing gifts in through their windows.
The Orthodox Church later raised St. Nicholas, miracle worker, to a position of great esteem. It was in his honor that Russia's oldest church, for example, was built. For its part, the Roman Catholic Church honored Nicholas as one who helped children and the poor. St. Nicholas became the patron saint of children and seafarers. His name day is December 6th.
In the Protestant areas of central and northern Germany, St. Nicholas later became known as der Weinachtsmann. In England he came to be called Father Christmas. St. Nicholas made his way to the United States with Dutch immigrants, and began to be referred to as Santa Claus.
In North American poetry and illustrations, Santa Claus, in his white beard, red jacket and pompom-topped cap, would sally forth on the night before Christmas in his sleigh, pulled by eight reindeer, and climb down chimneys to leave his gifts in stockings children set out on the fireplace's mantelpiece.
Children naturally wanted to know where Santa Claus actually came from. Where did he live when he wasn't delivering presents? Those questions gave rise to the legend that Santa Claus lived at the North Pole, where his Christmas-gift workshop was also located.
In 1925, since grazing reindeer would not be possible at the North Pole, newspapers revealed that Santa Claus in fact lived in Finnish Lapland. "Uncle Markus", Markus Rautio, who compared the popular "Children's hour" on Finnish public radio, revealed the great secret for the first time in 1927: Santa Claus lives on Lapland's Korvatunturi - "Ear Fell"
The fell, which is situated directly on Finland's eastern frontier, somewhat resembles a hare's ears - which are in fact Santa Claus's ears, with which he listens to hear if the world's children are being nice. Santa has the assistance of a busy group of elves, who have quite their own history in Scandinanvian legend.
Over the centuries, customs from different parts of the Northern Hemisphere thus came together and created the whole world's Santa Claus - the ageless, timeless, deathless white-bearded man who gives out gifts on Christmas and always returns to Korvatunturi in Finnish Lapland.
Since the 1950s, Santa has happily sojourned at Napapiiri, near Rovaniemi, at times other than Christmas, to meet children and the young at heart. By 1985 his visits to Napapiiri had become so regular that he established his own Santa Claus Office there. He comes there every day of the year to hear what children want for Christmas and to talk with children who have arrived from around the world. Santa Claus Village is also the location of Santa's main Post Office, which receives children's letters from the four corners of the world.

The History of the Keyboard (QWERTY)
Among certainly never ask you folks, why was the order of the letters / numbers / signs of a computer keyboard that is used in general today (QWERTY) made with the order so randomly? May also think that there may order this is the most efficient layout that can be used in typing?
Well .. If you feel that the answer, then you are wrong. Conversely, the keyboard layout that is common today (QWERTY) is one of the order is not the most efficient that we intended to, we can type more slowly. So too? I 'll try to explain now ..
This is related to the history of the typewriter that was found earlier by Christopher Latham Sholes (1868). When creating typewriter prototype, the very fact allows us to type more quickly. Too fast typing in the possibility, up-to problems often arise at the time. Often when the button is pressed, stems letter (onshore slug) that the tape was experiencing mechanical failure, which caused more often because it stems each hook (jamming).
Because the solution confused thinking at the time, Christopher Latham Sholes had mess-random sequence is such a way is found to the combination is considered the most difficult to use in typing. The goal is clear, to avoid the mistakes that often occur mechanics before.
Finally, the structure of the typewriter is derived on the computer keyboard as the input and in 1973 inaugurated the keyboard as a standard ISO (International Standards Organization).
Actually there are several standard keyboard layout used today. A Ask (American Simplified Keyboard), the general called the Dvorak found by Dr. August Dvorak around 1940.
The research then, the Dvorak layout allows us to type with more efficient. But perhaps because of late, Dvorak eventually be subject because of the domination that has occurred QWERTY organizations in the world at that time and they do not want to bear the risk if the Rush to change the Dvorak keyboard layout. The only recognition is coming from the Ansi (American National Standards Institute), which approved the Dvorak keyboard layout as a version of "alternative" around the year 1970.
The keyboard layout of the development of the QWERTY layout is QWERTZ used in countries such as Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, etc.. AZERTY country by France and Belgium, QZERTY, etc..
I do not believe the efficiency and effectiveness in the Dvorak typing, you can compare it here. Just copy and paste a few paragraphs that you have and compare with the QWERTY system on the site to see the data statistics between the two systems

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a bit different, never caring about or fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother Renee (Sarah Clarke) remarries and decides to move with her new husband to Florida, and Bella decides to go live with her father, Charlie (Billy Burke), in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, his piercing eyes see straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than any cheetah, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Most importantly, he's a vampire. Like all vampires, he's immortal. He doesn't drink human blood (they're vampire "vegetarians"), which is rare among the vampire population. Instead, they go on regular "hiking" trips, where they feed on prey such as grizzly bears and mountain lions. For Edward, Bella is the thing he has waited ninety years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. And what will they do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi), and Victoria (Rachel Lefevre) come into town and James sets his sights on Bella? Will true love prevail when Edward is forced to save her life and conquer his thirst? The true question is, When you can live forever, what do you live for?

||IT|| .:The latest tool for inciting hate: Facebook:.
(Nov 25, 2008)
Way to go, society.
Inspired by a South Park episode in which one character labels all redheads as evil, some 5,000 people decided to take a silly joke and elevate it into reality by joining a "National Kick a Ginger Day" group on Facebook. The online ringleader: A 14-year-old Canadian kid, who naturally insisted it was all a gag.
Alas, dozens of attacks were reported on the ostensible holiday last week -- November 20 -- from both attackers and attackees. While some of the attacks reported are likely phony, many are assuredly real, including a pair of young Alberta girls who say they were punched and kicked at school. Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police is taking the case deadly seriously and is investigating it as a hate crime.
As absurd as this issue is -- red-haired people have not historically been the victims of any real discrimination or hate crimes -- it's emblematic of the way in which online networks can become a tool in real-world violence other and anti-social behavior. It takes a lot of effort and considerable personal risk to physically go to a meeting of, say, the KKK. But how hard is it to join a white supremacist social networking group? Or register at an Aryan Nation discussion group?
To its credit, Facebook appears to delete all such groups that it encounters -- the National Kick a Ginger Day group has also been removed -- so at least that's a step in the right direction. But people, making a Facebook group that incites violence, however tongue in cheek, is just a bad idea. We should all know by now that despite how frivolous the material on the Internet often is, no one ever seems able to get when you're joking.

||Movie|| .:Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009):.
(Nov 21, 2008)
Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts turns out to be quite the exciting year. First off is the arrival of a new teacher at Hogwarts, Horace Slughorn, who is a bit more useful to Harry than he realizes. Next, Harry obtains a Potions book which used to be belong to the very mysterious Half-Blood Prince. Harry finds that the Half-Blood Prince's ancient scribbles are written along the margins of almost every page, giving Harry advice on how to improve greatly on his Potions work, and also teaching him a few helpful (and dangerous) spells along the way.
Amidst this, Harry is starting private lessons with Professor Dumbledore, during which Harry learns the dark secrets of Voldemort's past, hoping that they could use these secrets to find a way to defeat him.
Harry's year gets even more stressful with the suspicious actions of Draco Malfoy, who has been sneaking around the school doing, so Harry assumes, Voldemort's bidding. Harry quickly becomes determined, and slightly obsessed, to find out exactly what Malfoy has been up to and putting and end to it.
Yet, during this time, Harry and his friends go through daily life, busy with school work, Quidditch, (in which Harry has been made captain of the team) and of course, romance. Ron has found a new girlfriend, Lavender Brown, a perky (if not obnoxious) Gryffindor student, and Hermione is not happy about it. Ron and Hermione's friendship takes a toll throughout the school year and Harry, as usual, is stuck in the middle. Harry, meanwhile, is facing a romantic dilemma of his own: he realizes he is falling for his best friend's sister, Ginny Weasley, who is unfortunately dating Harry's classmate, Dean Thomas. Harry's pining for Ginny and Ron's hilarious relationship with Lavender give this story a large dose of reality.
Throughout all the school drama, however, the obvious darkness of Voldemort's impending rise to power is always apparent. The incredible action-packed climax is sure to leave the audience stunned and, inevitably, prove that you shouldn't trust everybody who you think is good and also prove that not everyone can manage to survive.

Berikut daftar 10 orang yang sangat berpengaruh dalam dunia web:
1. Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, dan Sergey Brin, Eksekutif Google
Jika harga saham Anda mencapai USD 500 per lembarnya, Anda berarti berhasil mengumpulkan uang sebanyak USD 33 miliar. Anda dapat menjalankan mesin pencari yang paling ramai trafiknya di Internet. Proyek kecil-kecilan Sergey Brin dan Larry Page asal Stanford berkembang menjadi gardu Web yang paling banyak dibicarakan dan salah satu dari beberapa nama pada daftar ini berubah menjadi verba. Schmidt meninggalkan Novell untuk bergabung dalam jajaran direktur Google pada tahun 2001 dan segera menjadi CEO perusahaan itu. Dengan mendominasi dunia periklanan online, Google sepertinya siap melakukan perjalanan akuisisi dan membeli YouTube menandakan langkah besar terhadap dominasi menyeluruh dalam bisnis Web.
2. Steve Jobs, CEO Apple
Tidak ragu lagi Anda pasti bosan dengan penghargaan media seputar aksi CEO Apple ini. Tetapi ketika seseorang mengaplikasikan gema musik gratis DRM ke seluruh dunia, sulit mengacuhkan kekuatan pengaruh pria tersebut. Jobs mempopulerkan download musik, acara TV, dan film secara legal. Melalui iPhone yang akan dirilis dalam waktu kurang dari lima bulan lagi, demonstrasinya pada MacWorld Expo memberi saran bahwa produk ini kemungkinan mempopulerkan Internet browsing menggunakan perangkat mobile.

3. Bram Cohen, Cofounder BitTorrent
Sistem P2P seperti KaZaA dan eDonkey adalah produk tahun lalu. Masa depan adalah segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan BitTorrent, penggagas ahli matematika dan anak ajaib dalam dunia pemrograman Bram Cohen. BitTorrent dikembangkan pada 2001 dan mendapatkan popularitas sebagai cara pen-download-an file besar (seperti film) dengan pembagian beban melalui hardware dan bandwidth. Kecakapan teknologi ini menangani file besar membawa Cohen berselisih dengan Motion Picture Association of America, yang meminta BitTorrent memindahkan konten berhak cipta dari jaringannya. Tetapi penarikan itu tidak menghambat kerjanya. Dilaporkan lebih dari sepertiga trafik Web saat ini berasal dari klien BitTorrent. BitTorrent dan kalangan raksasa dunia hiburan sejak lama telah menggabungkan kekuatan mereka. BitTorrent Entertainment Network yang baru saja dilansir mengeluarkan ribuan film standar industri, acara televisi, game, dan lagu-lagu untuk dijual dan disewa.
4. Mike Morhaime, Presiden Blizzard Entertainment
Dalam dunia online gaming, terdapat World of Warcraft, dll. Dengan jumlah pemain sebanyak 8 juta di seluruh dunia, Blizzard meraup keuntungan sebesar USD 1,5 miliar setahun dari WoW. Setiap pemain dengan terengah-engah terus memperhatikan Mike Morhaime bila ada kesempatan untuk mendapatkan Blade of Eternal Justice. Seperti dengan Second Life, keseluruhan bisnis dunia nyata berdasarkan teknologi game. Tidak seperti Second Life, walaupun bisnis ini mengeksploitasi ekonomi dan permainan game WoW, keseluruhannya tidak memberikan sambutan yang baik.
5. Jimmy Wales, Founder Wikipedia
Banyak pengunjung online menganggap ensiklopedi Internet Wikipedia sebagai penghentian pertama dan terakhir dalam pencarian sebuah topik. Konten yang dihasilkan penggunanya menjadi sangat dapat diandalkan sehingga majalah Nature mendeklarasikannya sebagai “sumber yang hampir seakurat [Encyclopedia].” Situs tersebut dikutip sebagai sumber informasi dalam lebih dari 100 keputusan pengadilan di AS sejak 2004. Tetapi popularitasnya juga menjadikan Wikipedia sebagai target oleh para spammer, kasusnya sangat banyak sehingga Wikipedia untuk sementara waktu memblokir akses dari seluruh negara Qatar untuk aksi pengeditan. Untuk menggagalkan usaha spammer, Wales putuskan penghapusan tag “nofollow” pada link eksternal, memberitahukan mesin pencari untuk mengacuhkan link dalam mencegah peningkatan buatan terhadap peringkat mesin pencari target link ini. Strategi ini menjamin keunggulan Wikipedia bahwa pencarian akan terus meningkat. Tetapi Wikipedia hanyalah langkah awal Wales. Ia juga meluncurkan mesin pencari pribadi bernama WikiSeek yang melakukan pencarian terhadap situs-situs yang disebutkan dalam Wikipedia.
6. John Doerr, Venture capitalist pada Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfield & Byers
Mantan salesman Intel, John Doerr telah menjadi raja aset enterprise di Silicon Valley sejak 27 tahun lalu dan melakukan investasi dalam bisnis teknologi mulai dari Sun Microsystems, Amazon.com, hingga Google. Jeff Bezos (lihat nomor 24) pernah menggambarkan Doerr sebagai “pusat gravitasi Internet.” Doerr juga menyertakan uang untuk menyokong kampanye politik, mendukung inisiatif pemilihan suara negara bagian yang cukup kontroversi di California terkait energi alternatif, dan penelitian stem-cell.
7. Craig Newmark, Founder Craigslist
Dalam situsnya tidak terdapat iklan, mengenakan biaya sangat rendah terhadap sebagian kecil pengunjungnya, memiliki domain “.org,” dan memiliki 23 pekerja. Saat ini meskipun memiliki tampilan sederhana, Craigslist mengakumulasikan 14,1 juta tampilan halaman Desember lalu dan menjadi situs ke-52 yang paling banyak dilihat Desember lalu berdasarkan comScore Media Metrix. Craigslist milik Newmark menjadi candu bagi banyak pihak yang secara spontan menyegarkan kembali daftar barang-barang gratis, “bersambutan hangat,” dan iklan pribadi selagi lari dari pekerjaan sehari-hari. Hal yang paling penting, situs itu dengan kekuatannya sendiri hampir menghancurkan bisnis iklan yang dikategorikan sebagai offline. Di area pantai San Francisco saja, satu penelitian menemukan, situs tersebut menguras USD 65 juta per tahun dengan porsi iklan pendukung kelangsungan hidup surat kabar lokal.
8. Peter Levinsohn, Presiden Fox Interactive Media
Fox Interactive Media, bagian dari News Corporation milik Rupert Murdoch, adalah salah satu unit Web terkuat dan mengendalikan 13 situs dengan jangkauan mulai dari MySpace.com hingga yang paling kontroversial FoxNews.com., pelengkap bagi siaran film tradisional dan properti televisi News Corp. Divisi yang berfokus pada Internet meliputi top 10 properti yang dikunjungi di dunia pada Desember 2006, berdasarkan comScore World Metrix. Menurut TechCrunch, kemungkinan akan terdapat tambahan lainnya, ketika Fox Interactive memiliki USD 2 miliar uang pengakuisisian untuk digulirkan.
9. Marissa Mayer, Vice president Google untuk search products & user experience
Ratu produk Google mengawasi berbagai daftar layanan Web dan perangkat raksasa pencarian ini, seperti Google Maps, Google Desktop, dan Google Base, serupa layanan e-commerce eBay. Wanita nomor satu di Google ini bergabung dalam perusahaan tersebut sebagai insinyur perempuan pertama pada 1999. Ia sebelumnya adalah pegawai perusahaan di nomor Alibaba.com dan bekerja mengembangkan tampilan minimalis Google yang saat ini cukup familiar. Tetapi jangan menyalahkannya atas semua pekerjaan dan jangan main-main terhadapnya. Menurut situs Google, ia mengorganisasi pegawai tugas malam.
10. Chad Hurley dan Steve Chen, Founder YouTube
Walaupun Google mengakusisi perusahaannya, founder YouTube, Chad Hurley (CEO) dan Steve Chen (CTO) sepertinya mengkampanyekan semua hal agar bisa terealisasi. Tokoh video Internet ini memperkenalkan rencana pembayaran user atas video, dan perusahaan ini juga menandatangani beberapa kemitraan konten media besar (dengan MTV, NBC, Warner Music, dll). Rekan co-founder, Jawed Karim malah meninggalkan perusahaan itu dan mengejar gelar master dalam bidang sains komputer di Stanford University.

Called the Leopard, Japan's Oki Electric Industry Company and Okamura Corporation have developed a robotic chair that will rise up to meet you as you sit. It's based off of a robotic set of legs the duo developed that better simulates jumping for bipedal 'bots. The chair doesn't jump, but it will tilt to cuddle you, bringing both the seat and the backrest in to greet you. It'll also gently push you upward when it feels you stand.
The companies describe the sensation as "seating comfort akin to being held in someone's arms." It's currently designed to handle folks weighing 120 to 130 pounds (which pretty much counts the rest of the world out) and is slated for a 2009 release. The Japanese firms plan for more variations of the cuddly 'bot to be available in the future.

-Laskar Pelangi- Ini kisah nyata tentang sepuluh anak kampung di Pulau Belitong,
Sumatera. Mereka bersekolah di sebuah SD yang bangunannya nyaris
rubuh dan kalau malam jadi kandang ternak. Sekolah itu nyaris ditutup
karena muridnya tidak sampai sepuluh sebagai persyaratan minimal.
Lihat Trailer
Pada hari pendaftaran murid baru, kepala sekolah dan ibu guru satu-
satunya yang mengajar di SD itu tegang. Sebab sampai siang jumlah
murid baru sembilan. Kepala sekolah bahkan sudah menyiapkan naskah
pidato penutupan SD tersebut. Namun pada saat kritis, seorang ibu
mendaftarkan anaknya yang mengalami keterbelakangan mental. »Mohon
agar anak saya bisa diterima. Sebab Sekolah Luar Biasa hanya ada di
Bangka,» mohon sang ibu. Semua gembira. Harun, nama anak itu,
menyelamatkan SD tersebut. Sekolah pun tak jadi ditutup walau
sepanjang beroperasi muridnya cuma sebelas.
Kisah luar biasa tentang anak-anak Pulau Belitong itu diangkat dalam
novel dengan judul 'Laskar Pelangi' oleh Andrea Hirata, salah satu
dari sepuluh anak itu. Di buku tersebut Andrea mengangkat cerita
bagaimana semangat anak-anak kampung miskin itu belajar dalam segala
keterbatasan. Mereka bersekolah tanpa alas kaki, baju tanpa kancing,
atap sekolah yang bocor jika hujan, dan papan tulis yang berlubang
hingga terpaksa ditambal dengan poster Rhoma Irama.
Kisah yang tadinya bukan untuk diterbitkan itu ternyata mampu
menginspirasi banyak orang. Seorang ibu di Bandung, misalnya,
mengirim surat ke Kick Andy. Isinya minta agar kisah tersebut
diangkat di Kick Andy karena anaknya yang membaca buku Laskar Pelangi
kini bertobat dan keluar dari jerat narkoba. »Setiap malam saya
mendengar suara tangis dari kamar Niko anak saya. Setelah saya intip,
dia sedang membaca sebuah novel. Setelah itu, Niko berubah. Dia jadi
semangat untuk ikut rehabilitasi. Kini Niko berhasil berhenti sebagai
pecandu narkoba setelah membaca buku Laskar Pelangi,» ungkap
Windarti Kosasih, sang ibu.
Sementara Sisca yang hadir di Kick Andy mengaku setelah membaca novel
itu, terdorong untuk memperbaiki hubungannya dengan sang ayah yang
selama ini rusak. Begitu juga Febi, salah satu pembaca, langsung
terinspirasi untuk membantu menyumbangkan buku untuk sekolah-sekolah
miskin di beberapa tempat. »Saya kagum karena anak-anak yang
diceritakan di buku itu penuh semangat walau fasilitas di sekolah itu
jauh dari memadai,» ujar Febi yang juga datang ke Kick Andy untuk
bersaksi.
Andrea sendiri mengaku novel itu awalnya hanya merupakan catatan
kenangannya terhadap masa kecilnya di Belitong. Dia selalu teringat
sahabat-sahabatnya di masa kecil, terutama Lintang. Sebab tokoh
Lintang merupakan murid yang cerdas dan penuh semangat walau hidup
dalam kemiskinan. Setiap hari Lintang harus mengayuh sepeda tua yang
saering putus rantainya ke sekolah. Pulang pergi sejauh 80 km. Bahkan
harus melewati sungai yang banyak buayanya.
Sayang, cita-cita Lintang untuk bisa sekolah ke luar negeri, seperti
yang sering didorong oleh guru mereka, terpaksa kandas. Lintang
bahkan tak tamat SMP karena orangtuanya yang nelayan tidak mampu
membiayai. »Lintang adalah sosok yang menginspirasi saya. Karena
itu, saya bertekad meneruskan cita-cita Lintang,» ujar Andrea, yang
sekian puluh tahun kemudian berhasil mendapat beasiswa sekolah ke
Sorbonne, Prancis.
Tim Kick Andy yang mendatangi kampung tempat SD itu berdiri, di
Belitong, berhasil 'menemukan' beberapa dari tokoh anak-anak di dalam
novel tersebut. Mereka kini sudah dewasa. Namun kenangan tentang masa
kecil itu sangat kuat membekas. Terutama pada ibu guru Muslimah yang
sangat mereka cintai. »Buku Laskar Pelangi memang saya persembahkan
untuk Ibu Mus yang sangat tabah dan pantang menyerah dalam mendidik
kami,» ujar Andrea.
Maka sungguh menarik menyaksikan bagaimana Kick Andy mempertemukan
Andrea dengan Ibu Guru Muslimah di studio Metro TV. Apalagi ketika Bu
Mus membawa barang-barang yang mempunyai kenangan tersendiri bagi
Andrea dan teman-teman kecilnya dulu di kampung. Kenangan yang
diceritakan kembali oleh Andrea dengan jenaka. Juga termasuk darimana
Andrea mengambil nama yang dipakainya hingga sekarang ini.
Sungguh sebuah novel — yang diangkat dari kisah nyata — yang sangat
menggugah. Novel yang membuat siapa pun yang membaca akan merasa
bersalah dan berdosa jika tidak mensyukuri hidup. Itu pula sebabnya
sutradara Riri Reza dan Produser Mira Lesmana tertarik untuk
mengangkat kisah ini ke layar film.

(Oct 4, 2008)

A CIA operative (Leonardo DiCaprio) hunts down a dangerous terrorist in Jordan. Russel Crowe costars, Ridley Scott directs.

Full Review>>
Ridley Scott's exciting, ultra-fast moving geopolitical thriller, "Body of Lies," based on the novel of the same name by David Ignatius, offers an up-to-the-moment, extraordinarily precise and incisive view of the war on terrorism, as conducted by the U.S. on the ground and back home, in offices, homes, and suburban playgrounds--mostly via cel phones.
Teaming with Ridley Scott for the first time, after three consecutive films with maestro Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio is in top form as Roger Ferris, the young U.S. Intelligence agent, who's considered the brightest, boldest and best of the lot. Joining forces with Agent Ferris is CIA vet Ed Hoffman, played by Russell Crowe, Scott's regular (and favorite?) actor in his fifth film for the director, as the commander behind the scenes, the man on the other side of the cell, who's in daily (sometimes hourly) communication with Ferris.
Scott and author Ignatius, a veteran journalist who has covered the CIA and Middle Eastern affairs for 10 years for The Wall Street Journal before joining The Washington Post, where he is currently a editor and columnist, understand that the new rules of the game of terrorism is not strength of force, or subtle technology, but information, and its ultra-rapid dissemination among the right parties. Mind you, the info could be true or false, valid or invalid, but it needs to be packaged and sold as information!
Scribe William Monahan, who won an Oscar for Scorsese's "The Departed," succeeds in bringing the novel's gritty urgency and combative character dynamics to a multi-dimension film, in which the plot changes so fast that the characters?-and viewers-?are in constant need of adjusting their perceptions and expectations.
In its good moments, which are plentiful, "Body of Lies" recalls (perhaps even pay conscious homage to) the cycle of films about mistrust and paranoia that prevailed in the 1970s, during the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, works such as Sydney Pollack's "Three Days of the Condor" or Alan Pakula's "The Parallax View." which also served as vehicles for their stars, Robert Redford and Warren Beatty, respectively.
Replete of twists and turns, the plot centers on Ferris' audacious plan to lure a terrorist leader named Al-Saleem out of hiding by making it appear that a rival yet fake organization has become as scary, deadly and effectual as Al-Saleem's own group. However, as expected, Ferris' deftly constructed smoke and mirrors are cloaked in layers of simultaneous subterfuge perpetrated by his own superior, Ed Hoffman.
A ruthless strategist, Hoffman will stop at nothing to protect the highest goal, national security, even if it means sacrificing his best man. As Ferris' scheme gains seeming credibility and global momentum, conflicts with his two closest allies threaten to converge with a crisis of conscience that leaves Ferris vulnerable. Will Hoffman betray him, as he has so many others before him?
Meanwhile, if the head of Jordanian intelligence finds out that Ferris is running a secret operation to snare Al-Saleem, Ferris' life expectancy in Jordan will be measured out in minutes. Ultimately, and that's the weakest part of the narrative, since it resorts to the cherished value of individualism, the survival of Ferris and the success of his mission may depend on the one man he can trust, himself.
In the murky underworld of today's high-stakes global espionage, power is measured and defined by the amount of vital information one acquires and controls, or even appears to acquire and control. In the post 9/11 era, national security is a shifty milieu, in which no one could be really trusted, not friends and not even supervisors of your own country, one in which fateful decisions need to be made within seconds.
Since the movie is concerned with issues of information, misinformation and disinformation, rather than weaponry and technology, at least one third of the yarn consists of brief phone conversations between Ferris and Hoffman, who's often seen around his pool or in his yard, playing with his children, while getting crucial info and making on the spot vital decisions that might affect the lives of Ferris and others.
In this, and other respects, "Body of Lies," which sounds more like a noir melodrama than a suspense political thriller, is novel offering a cynical yet unfamiliar perspective on how the war of terrorism is conducted, both as a matter of routine and as a highly risky, endless cat-and-mouth chase, which inevitably involves risking the lives of officers and civilians, all over the world.
And I mean all over the world: Following the format of a procedural cop-serial killer movie, "Body of Lies" is also a procedural feature, albeit of a very different kind. If my notes are valid, the globetrotting saga shifts locales over a dozen times in the course of its two-hour running time. But it's not disorienting, because every scenes is grounded and identified with a title card indicating the specific time and place
The movie captures vividly the two sides or facets of the complex, ever0shifting war, on the death-prone front lines as well on
Narratively and visually, "Body of Lies" is a corrective thriller to "Syriana," in which there were too many characters and only one relatable (played by George Clooney) as well as to the preposterously-plotted "Trust," which defied logic and realism in showing how easy it was for an agent like Don Cheadle to infiltrate the ranks of a secretive organization and then betray his colleagues and peers.
In scale, "Body of Lies" belongs to Scott's grand epics, specifically "Black Hawk Down" and the Oscar-winning "Gladiator," though otherwise, it's vastly different. Like them, it's supremely crafted thriller, with thrilling visuals, courtesy of cinematographer (who also shot Scott's former film, "American Gangster"), bravura action set-pieces, chases and shoot-outs.
The duo of Ferris and Hoffman meet t괥-୴괥 only three of four times in the course of the narrative, which is frustrating from an acting point of view, because both DiCaprio and Crow are such gifted and captivating thespians. Cel conversations also present another problem: As crucial as this device is for this kind of film, it often gets tedious, which may be the point, even if it's no so dramatic to observe.
Unlike those movie, though "Body of Lies" is smarter, more complex spy thriller about the various levels of trust and deception that come into play in invading, let alone trying to understand a foreign country with a unfamiliar culture and politics that's perceived in one word as "the enemy."

Bali will become the venue of this international event which will see 45 countries participating with over 10,000 athletes, officials, media and volunteers all flocking to the Island of the Gods for this world class event.
In a press conference conducted at Puri Santrian Hotel in Sanur, President of The National Olympic Committee of Indonesia (KONI), Ibu Rita Subowo officially announced and briefed the press about the preparations underway for the Asian Beach Games 2008 which will mark the largest event ever hosted in Bali.
“Through the Asian Beach Games 2008, Bali will become the focal point of Sporting Tourism in Asia. Apart from strengthening Bali as one of the known tourist destinations in the world, it will also empower Indonesia as a leading sporting nation in Asia.” Said the Governor of Bali, Bpk Dewa Made Beratha.
Ibu Rita Subowo added, “It is a huge honour for Indonesia to be selected to be the host to such a historic sporting event. Bali is the perfect venue for the Asian Beach Games and as this event is the first of its kind in the world, Indonesia is ready to show the rest of the world our true hospitality by welcoming all the athletes, officials and all involved to our great country to witness the spirit of the Asian Beach Games 2008. We are confident that everyone attending will be impressed and we hope to leave a lasting impression in the minds of all.”
Over 50,000 people are expected to support their participating countries in the 13 sports that will compete in this first time event entrusted by the Olympic Council of Asia. The areas of Kuta, Sanur, Pulau Serangan, Tanjung Benoa and Jimbaran have all been selected to act as the venues for each of the sports. Beach Volley Ball, Surfing, Jet Skiing, Sailing, Wind Surfing, Beach Takraw, Beach Hand Ball, Beach Soccer, Para Gliding, Dragon Boat Racing, Triathlon, Marathon Swimming, and the new sport, Wood Ball are the sports to be competed in.
The Asian Beach Games is a multi-sport event held every two years among athletes representing countries from Asia. The games celebrate cooperation and unity despite differences where athletes from a wide variety of nations are able to travel, meet new people, and bring back memories about the rest of the world to their home nations. The Asian Beach Games forge unity and friendship between their member nations by joining athletes, trainers, and officials together.
Many international beach sporting events are organized every year in Bali. But games like the Asian Beach Games, requires a specific plan with concentrated efforts involving governmental and non governmental sectors for its success. To steer these diversified activities, the Bali Asian Beach Games Organizing Committee (BABGOC) was formed in March 2006.
BABGOC, under the patronage of KONI and the city of Bali, in close cooperation with the Indonesian Government, is working diligently to meet the preparation schedules and expectations to stage and operate a sustainable Asian Beach Games, leading to a long-term legacy.
“We also hope to increase awareness for the Indonesian youth and sports enthusiasts and those across Asia through enhancing quality of life, instilling pride and attaining international prestige and recognition through beach sports.” Said Ibu Rita Subowo, Chairman of KONI.

Someday soon, most of us will have computers in our home theaters, and we'll be needing a mini keyboard like this one from Brando. What's so great about it? Two letters: RF. Its radio frequency control works up to 30 feet — and even through walls — letting you tuck away a home theater PC in the next room where its noise and heat will be outta sight and earshot. The result? Peace, quiet, and remote control.
The $48 keyboard communicates with a USB receiver that you plug into that PC, using the 2.4GHz frequency that's gotten to be familiar and dependable. You can control your cursor with a mini trackball, but we'd rather use a Bluetooth or RF mouse. Our only complaint is that Function key, positioned exactly where the Control key should be. Other than that, it's small enough to stay out of the way but big enough to actually use, and looks good.

Whoa. Microsoft blasted its mice into the next level yesterday with its BlueTrack laser tech, and one of the first out of the gate is this seven-button SideWinder X8 gaming mouse. Gamers will be skeptical of its wireless nature, fantasizing that their reflexes are faster than the X8's 13,000 frames per second, 75g maximum acceleration, 120 inches-per-second maximum speed and 2.4GHz transmitter, but they may like the way it can last through 30 hours of nonstop gaming before it needs a charge. This oughta beat its predecessor handily.
That "4000" festooned on its side boasts of the SideWinder X8's impressive-sounding 4000dpi resolution, getting well into the spec-derby range and far beyond anything meaningful. Maybe numbers like that can help to justify its $99.95 price, or convince hard-core gamers to wait until February for its release. Take a look at another pic of the mouse tethered to its spool-like charging cable minder, as well as Microsoft's press release:
Microsoft's Press Release:Experience Untethered, Uninterrupted Gameplay With Microsoft’s New SideWinder X8 Mouse
First wireless SideWinder mouse features Microsoft BlueTrack Technology for the best speeds and feeds available.
REDMOND, Wash. Sept. 10, 2008 Microsoft Corp. today unleashed the SideWinder X8 Mouse, offering wireless freedom with wired performance with a 2.4GHz wireless connection that is built for lag-free play. The latest SideWinder mouse features an innovative play-and-charge system to ensure a nonstop gaming experience — up to 30 hours of active gaming on a single charge — with no need to stop the game to change batteries. The SideWinder X8 Mouse is a top performer thanks to Microsoft’s new, proprietary BlueTrack Technology that gives this mouse the best frame rate, speed and acceleration on the market and a tracking range from 250 to 4,000 dots per inch (dpi).
“When conducting our research, we found room for improving on the wireless experience for gamers, especially as it related to perceived delay or lag time of response. The SideWinder X8 Mouse will put those wireless gaming mouse fears to rest,” said Bill Jukes, product marketing manager for Microsoft Hardware. “We designed this mouse to perform to the highest gaming standards — with near-zero latency, uninterrupted gameplay and the world’s most advanced tracking with BlueTrack Technology.”
Innovation for Gaming Performance
The SideWinder X8 Mouse is a top-performing wireless gaming mouse, with a combination of BlueTrack Technology tracking that provides the best speeds and feeds available, 2.4GHz wireless technology built for lag-free play, and an easy recharging system that keeps gamers in action.
• BlueTrack Technology. The world’s most advanced tracking offers next-generation tracking technology for gaming with image processing of 13,000 frames per second, 75g maximum acceleration and 120 inches per second maximum speed.
• 2.4GHz wireless. The device is built for lag-free play with virtually no latency.
• Play and charge. Get up to 30 hours of active gaming on a single charge, or use the play-and-charge cable for nonstop action. The winding cord management system offers easy charging — simply unwrap the cord from around the storage box and snap it onto the underside of the mouse.
Designed for Gaming
Comfort continues to be one of the main needs of PC gamers, and the SideWinder X8 Mouse features a unique, comfortable design that gamers will appreciate for extended sessions of play. Features include the following:
• Scroll wheel with tilt. The mouse has better feel and response with detents for precise control.
• Engineered for speed. The shape was designed for quick, balanced and precise gaming actions.
• Vertical side buttons. The top and bottom design makes locating side buttons easier and reduces unintentional activation. The X8 also offers smart features to enhance the gaming experience, including an LCD screen on the mouse to quickly view dpi settings and macro-recording icons, and a Quick Launch button that provides one-touch access to Microsoft’s PC gaming features.
Custom Tuning
Gamers also like to customize their gaming mouse to fit their needs, which is why the SideWinder X8 Mouse offers the following adjustable features:
• DPI switching. Instantly switch sensitivity among high, medium and low with one click, ranging from 250 to 4,000 dpi.
• Replaceable mouse feet. Choose from three materials for glide preference.
• Seven programmable buttons. Customize five programmable main buttons, plus left and right tilt.
• Macro record button. Easily record macros while in game with the dedicated button.
Pricing and Availability
The SideWinder X8 Mouse will be widely available in February 2009 for an estimated retail price of $99.95 (U.S.).2 The mouse is available now for pre-sale on Amazon.com and will ship in February when it is released. The SideWinder X8 Mouse will be backed by a worldwide three-year limited hardware warranty from Microsoft Corp.

SanDisk's new 32GB SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash card hopes to draw folks such as serious video professionals, who often have to store and access large, raw files. At 32 GB, it has almost as much storage as plenty of low-end laptops packed into a card the size of a wafer. The card can hold up to 80 minutes of HD video, and has access speeds of 30 MB/s — that means you could pull the entire 32 GB off of the card in under 20 minutes under optimal conditions.
Look for the 32GB SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash card in October for $300.

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways… Diane English's long-gestating remake of Clare Boothe Luce's 1936 bitchfest is so consistently, outrageously wrongheaded in every way it's hard to know where to start, but the fact that it turns a viciously knowing satire of privileged female misbehavior into a "you go girl!" knockoff of the SEX AND THE CITY movie (2008) is as good a place as any.
Luce's play revolves around the gossipy, backbiting friendships that bind a group of financially privileged women and, to put not too fine a point on it, ripped them to haute couture shreds. It's often dismissed as misogynistic and old fashioned, but Luce herself always insisted she wasn't out to paint women overall as shallow, conniving, man-obsessed gold diggers of varying degrees of sophistication -- just society women with too much money and time on their hands to bother cultivating anything but their jewelry collections. In English's vaguely feminist telling, Mary Haines (Meg Ryan) is the perfect modern superwoman: She keeps a lovely Connecticut home for her husband, Wall Street wolf Steven; is a caring -- if oblivious -- mother to her confused 11-year-old daughter, Molly (India Ennenga); and designs clothes for her father's firm. But to Mary's shock and dismay, a chatty Saks Fifth Avenue manicurist (Debi Mazar) lets slip that her BFF, perfume spritzer Crystal Allen (Eva Mendez, who's no Joan Crawford), is having an affair with a rich man named, yes, Steven Haines. For advice and emotional support, Mary turns to her best girlfriends: vaguely artsy Earth mother Edie Cohen (Debra Messing); fashion-magazine editrix Sylvie Fowler (Annette Bening, who's no Rosalind Russell), who, unbeknownst to the gal-pack, is hanging onto her high-powered job by her perfectly manicured nails; sassy lesbian essayist Alex Fisher (Jada Pinkett Smith), who's dating a very angry supermodel, assiduously not working on her new book and adds two tokens in one to the otherwise blandly Anglo-hetero mix. They all tell her to dump Steven's cheating ass: This is the 21st century, for Goddess' sake! Mary also solicits the opinions of her no-nonsense housekeeper (Cloris Leachman), Molly's fresh-faced Danish nanny (Tilly Scott Pedersen), the tough-talking Hollywood agent (Bette Midler) she meets at an exclusive yoga retreat, and her own pragmatic mother (Candice Bergen), who supplies the film's only genuinely biting lines and suggests that Mary step back and look at the big picture before acting rashly.
George Cukor directed the first film version of The Women in 1939 from a screenplay by Jane Murfin and the famously sharp-tongued Anita Loos, of GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDS fame, and the result set a very high bar. But the much-derided musical remake, THE OPPOSITE SEX (1956), looks like laser-cut brilliance next to English's bland, tin-eared reimagining, which manages to suggest both that women have come a long way, baby, and that they need to look to their pubescent daughters for personal validation. Not only is that not progressive, but it's also not funny. --Maitland McDonagh

Google introduced Chrome in part because it wants faster browsing and the richer Web applications that speed will unlock. So how does Chrome actually stack up?
Google's Chrome overpowers the other browsers on the five subtests by which Google measures its browser's JavaScript performance.
(Credit: Stephen Shankland/CNET News)Lars Bak, the Google engineer who was the technical leader for Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, said at the launch event Tuesday he's confident Chrome is "many times faster" than the rivals at running JavaScript, the programming language that powers Google Docs, Gmail, and many other Web applications.
But when pressed for specifics, he told me to try them out. So I did.
Google offers a site with five JavaScript benchmarks. On each one of these tests, Chrome clearly trounced the competition. I hope benchmarking experts and developers will weigh in with comments about how well these tests represent true JavaScript performance on the Web--either for ordinary sites or for rich Web apps.
Here's the site description of the speed tests:
• Richards: OS kernel simulation benchmark, originally written in BCPL by Martin Richards (539 lines).
• DeltaBlue: One-way constraint solver, originally written in Smalltalk by John Maloney and Mario Wolczko (880 lines).
• Crypto: Encryption and decryption benchmark based on code by Tom Wu (1,689 lines).
• RayTrace: Ray tracer benchmark based on code by Adam Burmister (3,418 lines).
• EarleyBoyer: Classic Scheme benchmarks, translated to JavaScript by Florian Loitsch's Scheme2Js compiler (4,682 lines).
Google's overall score is head and shoulders above the competition for executing JavaScript.
(Credit: Stephen Shankland/CNET News)A few notes: First, your mileage may vary; I ran these tests on my dual-core Windows XP machine.
Second, my apologies here to Opera, whose browser I don't have installed.
Third, I tried to run the SunSpider benchmark tests as well, but perhaps because a lot of other curious people had the same idea on the day Chrome launched, I couldn't get to the site.

~Bukan Superstar~
by: Project Pop
Andai aku Pasha Ungu
semua wanita kan memburuku
Bila aku Ariel Peterpan
kau yakin ngefans karena urang keren
Sexy badannya.. Mulan Jameela
cantiknya dia seperti aku
Giring Nidji sahabat aku
dekat denganku.. dialah aku..
Tapi kenyataan aku bukan siapa-siapa
kuingin engkau mencintaiku apa adanya
Ku bukan superstar kaya dan terkenal
Ku bukan saudagar yang punya banyak kapal
Ku bukan bangsawan, ku bukan priyayi
Ku hanyalah orang yang ingin dicintai
Haa haa haaa… Haa haa haaa…
Andai ku Letto wis pasti aku wong jowo
Tapi kenyataan aku bukan siapa-siapa
kuingin engkau mencintaiku apa adanya
Ku bukan superstar kaya dan terkenal
Ku bukan saudagar yang punya banyak kapal
Ku bukan bangsawan, ku bukan priyayi
Ku hanyalah orang yang ingin dicintai
Kata orang ku mirip Glenn Fredly
suara merdu, wanita jatuh hati
Namun semua itu hanya mimpi bagimu woohoo~
Jadi… semua itu hanya mimpi?
Ya iya laah… masya ya iya dong
duren aja dibelah bukan dibedong
Ku bukan superstar kaya dan terkenal
Ku bukan saudagar yang punya banyak kapal
Ku bukan bangsawan, ku bukan priyayi
Ku hanyalah orang yang ingin dicintai
Kamu bukan super, kamu bukan setar
Kalo digabungin kamu bukan supersetarr..
Ku bukan bangsawan, ku bukan priyayi
Ku hanyalah orang yang ingin dicintai
Haa haa haaa… Haa haa haaa…
