Cowboys in Paradise

Cowboys in Paradise - Well, dag gummit, as Jet and Cord might say, was that not a great episode of "The Amazing Race"?

This week's installment had everything that makes "The Amazing Race" addictive television: major reversals, local color and surprises aplenty, as several teams made decisions that put them in the lead or had them removed from the race.

The luck of the draw has always been a major component of "The Amazing Race." One tiny error, one bad decision, can completely determine whether you're walking away for good or finishing in first place. It can be as simple as deciding between one of two Detour choices, picking the wrong taxi driver, or opting to get out of your cab and run to the next destination.

In this case, it was all three for one specific team, and this duo was punished by being eliminated. Ouch.

This week, the six remaining teams left the tropical paradise of the Seychelles to head to Penang, Malaysia, and the city's Snake Temple. Despite their lead, Steve and Allie (pictured) were on the same boat and plane with the rest of the teams and weren't able to obtain their missing backpacks from last week, leaving them with only -- quite literally, in fact -- the clothes on their backs. Fortunately, Michael and Louie offered some clothes, which showed the generous nature of some racers. I couldn't help but wonder: did any of the female contestants do the same for Allie? (I think specifically of Caite, but that team seemed to be more proud of the fact that they learned what "unanimous" meant.)

The cowboys immediately had a cab issue, which wasn't good as they would have to complete an extra task -- a Speedbump, for those at home -- in addition to the Detour and Roadblock ahead. Despite their unluckiness at first, they quickly soared to the lead, wisely choosing the Chinese Custom Detour -- in which they had to balance a Chinese chingay, a ceremonial flag -- on their foreheads for 120 feet. (Heck, Cord completed it on his first try.) It was a major victory that propelled the last-place team right to the front of the pack as they headed to the village of Teluk Bahang. (And, yes, I'll very freely admit that I cheered out loud.)

Elsewhere, those teams attempting to get to the Buddhist Tradition Detour had their hands full before they even got there. While Carol and Brandy and Caite and Brent seemed to arrive there fairly quickly, major traffic snarled around three other teams -- Michael and Louie, Steve and Allie, and Dan and Jordan -- and the latter two duos decided to get out of their cab and walk the supposedly four to five minutes to their destination.

It was a pretty colossal error.

Besides the fact that neither team had any idea where they were going, they were quickly passed by Michael and Louie in their cab and then spent lots of time hiking all over the place before arriving at the wrong destination. If that weren't bad enough, Steve and Allie then opted to do the other Detour and then, upon seeing what it actually entailed, decided to switch once more. Never a good sign.

While Jet and Cord completed their Detour quite quickly, the others had a much harder time with their choice: it was grueling, and hot, work, as they had to carry 12 incense sticks of various sizes up 150 steps and then ignite them. Every team struggled to complete it as speedily as possible, but this was no easy feat. No surprise then that Jet and Cord arrived in Teluk Bahang, completed their Speedbump -- which consisted of traveling to a Spice Tea Garden, smelling some spices, and then choosing the right tea to deliver to a guru on a swing -- and then also finished the Roadblock before another team even arrived in the village. (Also helping matters: that Brent and Caite's cab driver took them to the wrong location. Hee-hee.)

That Roadblock had one member of each team smashing coconuts (more coconuts?!?) to find one that had a colored liquid in the center and then constructing a Hindu ceremonial float which they sent out to sea in order to receive their next clue. Despite Jet's concerns ("I'm not really crafty," he said), he finished it in no time at all.

It allowed the cowboys to jet off to the Pit Stop in record time and take a first-place finish, making them the first team in the history of "The Amazing Race" to ever come from last place, complete a Speedbump, and then come in first place. (Even Phil seemed impressed.) Plus, the two won a trip to Maui as well. I'm absolutely thrilled that these two were not only spared elimination last week but managed to claw their way back to the top of the pack (or "back in the saddle"), where they belong. As Cord said it best, "Quittin's just not for me."

Ultimately, the possibility of elimination fell onto either brothers Dan and Jordan or father-daughter team Steve and Allie, both of whom made some serious mistakes this week. While the producers sought to ramp up the tension in the final moments (OMG, Dan and Jordan's cab must stop for gas!?!), it was blatantly obvious that it was poor Steve and Allie who would be getting the boot this week. Which is a shame, really, as these two were fierce competitors, loyal teammates, and didn't get bogged down in the pettiness that has ensnared many of the other teams.

Alas, victory for these two was just not meant to be. I'm actually very sad to see them depart -- I'd rather the insufferable Caite and Brent go home -- but that's life on the race: you're only as good as your last decision ... and these two couldn't quite recover from this week's blunders.

What did you think of this week's episode? Sad to see Steve and Allie go? Happy to see the cowboys in first place again? Who are you rooting for now that we've only got a handful of teams? And who will go home next? Head to the comments section to discuss.

Pidato Kita

Contoh Makalah - Pidato pembelaan Presiden SBY terhadap Boediono dan Sri Mulyani merupakan bagian tidak terpisahkan dari berlarut-larutnya skandal Bank Century. Demikian pendapat peneliti senior Pusat Studi Islam dan Kenegaraan (PSIK), Herdi Syahrazad, di sela diskusi "Implikasi Politik Pidato SBY Soal Boediono-Sri Mulyani Terkait Skandal Century" di Universitas Paramadina, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jakarta Selatan, Selasa (30/3).

Makalah - Bahkan, kata Herdi, apabila KPK tidak dapat menyelesaikan skandal Bank Century maka ini adalah puncak dari ketidakpercayaan rakyat.

"Penuntasan kasus ini merupakan barometer untuk mengembalikan kepercayaan masyarakat, kalau Centurygate tidak selesai maka bangsa ini tidak akan pernah selesai. Belum tuntas kasus Century sekarang muncul lagi kasus Gayus Tambunan," jelasnya.

Melihat tindak korupsi yang berkembang biak tanpa henti di Indonesia, menurut Herdi diperlukan potong satu generasi untuk menghentikannya.

"Saat ini kita sudah memasuki fenomena negara gagal dimana lembaga hukum dan lembaga negara tidak mendapat lagi kepercayaam dari publik karena upaya pemberantasan korupsi hanya berjalan di tempat," jelasnya.

Ditambahkannya, fenomena negara maling adalah tantangan. "SBY selama ini telah menjalankan politik etalase, kasus Century adalah perampokan uang negara yang harus diselesaikan," tegasnya.

Medicine

Obat Perangsang Wanita - People fleeing the recent fighting in Orakzai and Kurram agencies are arriving in the adjacent district of Hangu in urgent need of food, medicine and other items. Hundreds of thousands have fled since last November and the movement has gained pace with the return of warmer weather.

Obat Perangsang - Accordingly, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) have started delivering food and other essentials, such as blankets, tarpaulins and jerry cans, to the newly arrived internally displaced people (IDPs) in Hangu. “Our priority is to reach those living outside relief camps, as approximately 95% of the IDPs are hosted by local families or live in rented accommodation,” said Antje Ruckstuhl, in charge of ICRC activities in northwest Pakistan.

“PRCS is carrying out a door-to-door registration of IDPs, and so far, over 122,000 individuals have been registered in 19 union councils of the district,” PRCS District Secretary Hamidullah Mohmand said. Since January 2010, the organisations have jointly assisted 350,000 victims of fighting in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the northwest of Pakistan. The ICRC has commended the work of PRCS ‘s recently established Hangu district branch, which has had to cope with the mass movement of IDPs. app

Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx

Blackberry Onyx - Rumors about Blackberry Bold 9700 “Onyx” have buzzing around for a while now. And most of them are saying that the Bold 9700 Onyx could be the best Blackberry available to date.

In this post we will also do a small comparison between the Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx vs Bold 9000 vs Curve 8900 vs Tour 9630. The full comparison will be made as soon as the actual device is announced…

Ok, enough for the introduction. Let’s go for the real deal, the Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx Review (based on the pre-release device)

Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx Specs and Features:

See the spotlight?

Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx Design, Camera, Keyboard, Trackball,

Ok, so lets start with the design. First thing that caught my eyes were the lack of silver chrome band around the Bold 9700 Onyx. This band is found on its siblings, the Blackberry Bold 9000 and Blackberry Curve 8900. And let me tell you a secret: I don’t really like the chrome stuff on the Curve and Bold 9000…Which makes the looks of the Bold 9700 Onyx is more elegant. The Bold 9700 Onyx is pretty slim (it’s a bit slimmer than the Curve 8900) and the comfort is pretty good also. So the Onyx has an elegant design, pretty slim and comfortable.

Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx uses 3.2 megapixel camera, which is the same camera that Blackberry Curve 8900 use. So you can guess now that the quality of the image taken by the Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx will be decent enough for a business phone. As you might’ve known, the Curve 8900 is able to take some great shots with its camera.

The keyboard is pretty much alike the sibling, the Blackberry Tour 9630 with a slight difference in the bottom row of keyboard. But overall theBlackberry Bold 9700 Onyx’s keyboard is pretty nice and I assume that most people will have no problem with the keyboard. The trackball of the Onyx still uses the old trackball navigation, but since it is still a review based on a pre-released device, lets just hope that RIM will be generous enough to add an optical trackball tothe Bold 9700 Onyx…

Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx 3G, WiFi, Storage

Not much to be said about the OS of the pre-release version of the Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx.To be honest, I have to cut several part of this review since I got an email from RIM…. So let me paraphrase my opinion…

Several important features of the Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx I found based on the specs revealed are these features: 3.2 Megapixel camera, 3G connection, WiFi, and improved memory… Stay tune for more information on the Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx. Follow us on twitter or RSS feed :)

[UPDATE] it seems that the Blackberry Onyx is actually the Blackberry Bold 2!! It is confirmed now and I have updated the post for you :)

Zuma urges calm after Terre'blanche murder

Contoh Makalah - South Africa - South African President Jacob Zuma called for calm on Sunday after the killing of white far-right leader Eugene Terre'blanche in a suspected pay dispute with black workers fanned fears of racial strains.

Makalah - Police detained two farm workers and said they were investigating the quarrel they had with Terre'blanche, but his Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) says he was battered and hacked to death in an attack with political overtones.

Zuma, who has made it a priority to court white Afrikaners, called it a "terrible deed" and urged South Africans "not to allow agent provocateurs to take advantage of this situation by inciting or fuelling racial hatred".

Terre'blanche, 69, was the voice of hardline opposition to the end of apartheid in the early 1990s although his party has played a marginal role since then and does not have a big following among the 10 percent of white South Africans.

The AWB urged restraint while the funeral is prepared and before the party decides next steps. In Ventersdorp, in rolling farmland over 100 km (60 miles) west of Johannesburg, party followers in paramilitary khaki laid flowers at the farm gate.

"We will decide upon the action we are going to take to avenge Mr Terre'blanche's death," said spokesman Andre Visagie.

Concerns over increasing racial polarisation have been thrown into the open by a row over the singing of an apartheid-era song with the lyrics "Kill the Boer" by the youth leader of the ruling African National Congress.

The ANC has defended the song as no more than a way to remember a history of oppression, but it has worried minority groups and particularly white farmers, some 3,000 of whom have been killed since the end of apartheid.

Terre'blanche's party did not hesitate to link the murder to the song. He had always described himself as a Boer.

"That's what this is all about," Visagie said.

Zuma's spokesman Vincent Magwenya said, however, there was no evidence at this stage linking the killing to the song sung by firebrand ANC youth wing leader Julius Malema.

Terre'blanche had lived in relative obscurity since his release from prison in 2004 after serving a sentence for beating a black man nearly to death.

The party -- whose flag resembles a Nazi swastika -- was revived two years ago and he had begun efforts to try to build a united front among white far-right parties to fight for a white homeland, but had gained little traction.

Terre'blanche was a powerful orator in his Afrikaans language and was a distinctive figure, heavily built, with a thick grey beard and dressed in khaki. He often attended rallies on horseback during his fight to stop majority rule.

Police said the suspected killers were aged 16 and 21. Both had worked for Terre'blanche.

"They apparently attacked the leader because they were not paid for work," said spokesperson Adele Myburg, giving no details of how the killing was carried out.
