Yayy refunds!
matt | February 21, 2004
Between state and local governments, I am owed more than 2 weeks pay. Nice!
Got touchpad stuff working well using this driver.
The fans on my laptop (an inspiron 8100) were being goofy, so I recompiled the i8kutils, and that seemed to fix it. Probably depends on some kernel header stuff that changed or something.
Now that the laptop is set up, time to get my server up and stuff migrated over and all that.

ITU-D Global Cybersecurity Index 2017
The Global Cybersecurity Index (CGI) 2017 report was released on 15th June 2017 at the World Summit on the Information Society Forum 2017 in Geneva.
The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) is a multi-stakeholder initiative to measure the commitment of countries to cybersecurity. Each country's level of development will therefore be analyzed within five categories: Legal Measures, Technical Measures, Organizational Measures, Capacity Building and Cooperation.
Kenya, ranked third in Africa, was praised for exemplifying cooperation through its National Kenya Computer Incident Response Team – Coordination Centre (National KE-CIRT/CC). The National CIRT was also recognized for coordinating at national, regional and global levels with a range of actors. Nationally, this includes ISPs, the financial and educational sectors; regionally it works with other CIRTs through the East African Communications Organization (EACO); and internationally it liaises with ITU, FIRST, and bi-laterally with the United States and Japan CIRTs among others.
Kenya followed Mauritius and Rwanda which were ranked first and second respectively. Globally, Kenya was ranked 45th having been recognized alongside Germany for having a commendable cybersecurity research and development program in the Kenya Education Network (KENET). KENET is the computer emergency response team (CERT) for the academic community and the National Research and Education Network (NREN) of Kenya.

I never knew that the band was a Christian one, though, until some Christian friends told me they were. Even after that, there was still speculation on whether or not they were really a Christian group, or if they happened to just be all Christian musicians who played rock music. Officially, I think they were simply known as post-grunge, more than anything else.
I do remember them separating and forming the band Alter Bridge a while back, but I don't remember anything they made as the new band.
It turns out that they reunited in 2009 and made a new album, though I don't remember it and can't vouch for any of its songs. Since then, they're taking another break from Creed, while the main singer makes his own solo stuff and the rest of the gang focus on their Alter Bridge material. Apparently a new Creed album and tour are expected to be released in 2012.

Movie filmed in St. Paul was 'crass and unfunny all the way'
"Jingle All the Way" opened in theaters on Nov. 21, 1996 — just in time to make Pioneer Press film critic Chris Hewitt's list of the year's 10 worst movies.
"Crass and unfunny all the way," he declared.
The holiday flop had been filmed seven months earlier at locations around the Twin Cities, including many in St. Paul.
Production teams from 20th Century Fox took over much of the city's downtown for about a week during the nearly monthlong shoot.
Star-struck St. Paulites turned out in droves for a chance to glimpse leading man Arnold Schwarzenegger and his co-stars, the Pioneer Press reported. Traffic snarls "spelled an absolute nightmare for motorists," as several blocks of Fifth and Wabasha streets were closed.
Some residents griped about the fake snow blanketing the sidewalks weeks after winter was supposed to have ended.
Fox pumped between $3 million and $5 million into the Twin Cities economy during filming, the newspaper said. Much of the money paid for hotel rooms and car rentals and such, but some was used to compensate restaurateurs and merchants for profits lost when they were forced to close during filming.
Most received payments of between $200 and $3,000 a day, reporter Aron Kahn wrote at the time. Ecolab, the water, hygiene and energy technology company headquartered on Wabasha Street, was paid $6,000 for three days' worth of inconvenience.
Kahn interviewed Mike Meehan, Fox's moneyman charged with settling up with business owners after production wrapped on May 10.
"The ugly side of it — and I've encountered this on every single film I've done, including this one — is the people who try to take advantage of us," Meehan told Kahn. "They try to pretend that they make a lot more than they do. That happened several times in the city of St. Paul, where people basically claimed that they made six, seven, eight hundred dollars or more in profit every day."
But no one made out quite as well as Schwarzenegger, who was reportedly paid $20 million for his three months of work.
He and several of the film's other stars, including Sinbad and future Darth Vader Jake Lloyd, returned to town for the world premiere of "Jingle All the Way" at the Mall of America on Nov. 16, 1996.
The event drew thousands of people, and despite the movie's awful reviews, Hollywood churned out a straight-to-video sequel in 2014, starring comedian Larry the Cable Guy.

About the Film
The Bounty Hunter began as a friendly over-the-fence chat between neighbors. The two neighbors just happened to be producer Neal H. Moritz and director Andy Tennant, who had collaborated previously on the hit film Sweet Home Alabama.
"Oftentimes, we just chat to each other, literally across the fence," says Tennant. "He asked, 'What are you doing next?' and I said, 'I have no idea.' So Neal said, 'I have a script. Why don't you take a look?'"
That script, by screenwriter Sarah Thorp, turned out to be a perfect match to Tennant's sensibilities and strengths. Centering on a struggling New York bounty hunter tasked with dragging his ex-wife back to jail, The Bounty Hunter is "not just a romantic comedy," says Moritz. "It's an action comedy that has romance in it as well. Andy does all of those things – comedy, romance, and action – really well."
What attracted Tennant to the project was a script that would prove to be an action-packed story as well as production. "Here was a movie that was so subversive and funny. It's a take-no-prisoners marital comedy," Tennant remarks.
"Milo Boyd, played by Gerard Butler, is a down-on-his luck bounty hunter – he used to be a policeman, but got himself booted off the force, and now he's just making ends meet," Moritz explains. "He gets the assignment of his life – his ex-wife, played by Jennifer Aniston, has jumped bail, and he's got to find her and bring her back."
"It's just the two of them, on the road," says Tennant. "Catching her is easy; bringing her to justice is a bit more challenging."
"Milo Boyd was a great cop back in the day. But he could let things get the better of him – including his ex-wife, Nicole," Butler says of his character's background. "When they got divorced, he lost his way a little bit, even got himself booted off the police force. So he's now become a bounty hunter, and honestly, he's not doing too great. He sleeps on a buddy's sofa half the time. He's just trying to convince himself that he's happy.
"I took one look at this script, and I loved it. It was sharp, hilarious, edgy, and it was on," Butler continues. "I laughed from start to finish and I thought, 'I wanna play that guy.'"
Though Jennifer Aniston's character, Nicole, seems more put together, she secretly carries just as much baggage as her ex wears on his sleeve.
"She's a reporter and he was a cop, so they would break down cases and stories together," says Aniston. "Somehow or another, as relationships do if you get lazy, they just stopped paying attention, and the things that they loved about each other become the things that they are annoyed with."
"Nicole is a reporter for the Daily News and she's skipped a hearing in order to chase a story. So, yeah, she's a felon," says Aniston. "And now Milo has the opportunity of a lifetime to track her down and bring her to jail, which for him is like a dream come true."
"He thinks this is the best day of his life," Butler continues. "He's hugely excited. Of course, that's where it all goes wrong."
"That's what's fun about watching this story – as Milo is chasing Nicole, he gets involved in pursuing the story she's trying to break," Aniston remarks. "So they get back into the beauty of what the fun of what their relationship was."
For Butler, the opportunity to show a couple still crazy about each other – even as they drive each other crazy – was a great attraction to the role. "I think their intellects matched beautifully," says Butler. "He loved her humor, her quick wittedness, her doggedness, her stubbornness – all the very things that now drive him up the wall. But it's clear that Milo and Nicole still have a lot of feelings for each other."
"Usually relationships end, you never see the other person, there's never any closure," says executive producer Ori Marmur. "In this case, Milo blames Nicole for ruining his life and this is his chance for that closure. It doesn't work out like he planned.
"Andy had to craft a movie about two people who are at each other's throats, but we as the audience know they should obviously be together," Marmur adds. "Milo and Nicole are perfect for each other, but they can't see it. So, through the bickering and through the fighting, they have to start falling in love as well. Andy really did a great job executing that."
Casting the Film
"I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston and I'm a huge fan of Gerry Butler. I've tried to do many movies with the both of them," says Moritz of the idea to pair them on this movie. "When this came up, I thought that the combination of Jennifer and Gerry would be a really great, exciting combination."
Tennant agrees that casting any famous name wouldn't do: the chemistry between the lead actors would be everything. "In this case, Milo is a guy's guy, so we wanted somebody that could play a little down and dirty. Gerry's one of those guys, but he can also do the comedy. Jennifer Aniston, after ten years of doing 'Friends,' is really very quick on her feet. She would play with Gerry, but also kind of throw him off a little bit. Watching their scenes together was like watching two people playing a really good game of tennis."
"You can put words to all of that, but then there's just a magic," Butler continues. "Our chemistry was great together."
"Gerry's been in a lot of different kinds of movies, but his talent for comedy is just beginning to be explored," says Moritz. "I think this movie was tailor-made for him."
Aniston says that Butler's charm put the whole cast and crew at ease. "Gerry's just funny. That's what's so great about him – he's absolutely disarming. Here comes this gorgeous Scottish actor who you think you should be afraid of, but he's really just a softy."
"I just love the interactions between Jennifer and Gerry in this movie," Moritz says. "There was so much playfulness between them, and their relationship evolved over the course of the movie."
"Jennifer Aniston is obviously a beautiful, attractive, free-spirited, independent woman, just like her character in this movie," Moritz continues. "We really wanted somebody who had strength, who not only could do comedy but also had some vulnerability to her as well. I think that she really embodied that for this character."
"Jen brings fire, intelligence, sexiness, steadiness, and power – everything Nicole needs as an ace reporter," says Butler.
Aniston says, "When Nicole has a story, she's like a dog with a bone, to the point that she blows off other things – like the court appearance she's supposed to be at." And also, perhaps, her relationship with Milo? "As she rose in her career and made that commitment to work, I think she started taking him for granted – just not paying attention to him.
In the seedy world of bail bonds and underbelly news reporting, the complementing cast of characters of The Bounty Hunter needed to be just as colorful and comedic as Milo and Nicole. One such character was the role of Stewart, Nicole's enamored co-worker at the Daily News, whose crush on Nicole gets him into more than his share of trouble. Jason Sudeikis, from "Saturday Night Live," was cast to bring Stewart to life.
"He pines for Nicole. She's the only woman for him and he's the only man for her, uh, in his mind," Sudeikis explains.
The cast and crew applauded the quirkiness that Sudeikis brought to Stewart, which even included growing a signature mustache to add just the right, odd touch. "This is not a stunt mustache," Sudeikis brags of his homegrown costume piece. "This is the real deal." And he's proud of it, even if he has been told it makes him look like "a poor man's Kevin Kline."
"Jason was a great addition to the cast. He brought such great comedy to the movie," praises Moritz.
"It's a funny character on the page. But then bring on board Jason Sudeikis and…woo, that is from outer space," remarks Butler. "You do a scene with Jason where you're supposed to pull a gun on him, and you don't know whether he's gonna have a fit, whether he's gonna put the gun in his mouth, or whether he's gonna attack you. You don't know what you're gonna get, but it's always gonna be amazing."
Sudiekis was just as happy to be working with Aniston and Butler. "When they told me that my character has a crush on Jennifer's character, I was like, 'Oh, okay. I've been working on that for the last 15 years, so that'll be easy to accomplish,'" he jokes. "Oddly enough, I'd also had a crush on Gerard Butler for 15 years, well before he was even a known actor."
Another eccentric character is Nicole's mother, Kitty Hurley, played by Christine Baranski. Kitty is an Atlantic City burlesque performer more concerned about reuniting her daughter with her ex-husband than listening to her daughter's more pressing legal predicaments.
Tennant says he found the character gave a lot of insight into Nicole. "You read the script, and you think, 'Here's this newspaper reporter for the Daily News who's got her life all together, and her mother sings in Atlantic City,'" says Tennant. "You start to wonder, well, if Nicole is the daughter of this person, she's gotta be at least a little bit off."
Butler says, "Christine Baranski plays my ex-mother-in-law. You can be so full of hatred for somebody, apparently, but the truth comes out about your feelings when you speak to the third party – and there's no one better for that than the mother-in-law."
The cast is rounded off by Jeff Garlin, who plays Sid, Milo's harried bounty boss, and Cathy Moriarty, who plays Milo's unforgiving Atlantic City bookie, Irene.
Putting Action in Action-Comedy
Though The Bounty Hunter has romantic elements, the filmmakers were clear from the very beginning about the movie they would be making – one in which the action elements were as strong as the romantic chemistry between the actors.
With Gerard Butler, an action-movie vet, as the male lead, it was certain that he would do as many of his own stunts as was feasible. "Everybody associated with the movie gets very nervous when the movie star decides they're gonna jump off the building or they're gonna do those things. But Gerry did."
"I was smashing into people, running up and down stairs, hitting people, climbing ladders, jumping off roofs," says Butler. "I probably did 40 takes where I jump off a roof and smash on the ground and roll over. But it's magical when you see it in the movie."
Moritz was confident Butler would take to the stunts well because of his professional experience. "Gerry's obviously so well trained in stunts from doing movies like 300. He was really adept at different scenes where we have fights, where he's throwing punches or taking punches," Moritz explains.
What was more surprising was that Aniston was just as ready, willing, and able as her co-star. "I've never really done something that had so much action," says Aniston.
"There are a lot of stunts in this movie, between golf carts flying down hills and going into lakes, and between cars crashing and people jumping over walls… Jennifer and Gerry were game to do as much of it as we would allow," says Moritz. "There's nothing better than the actors actually doing it themselves, for us, as audience members to believe it."
Aniston recalls the physical challenges wryly. "I was dumped into a trunk. I ran for miles and miles in four-inch Manolos. I got covered in pond scum. Gun shots, car chases, crashes. It was so much fun!" she deadpans.
With her character in handcuffs much of the time, Aniston's stunt work was considerable. "If there's a car, she gets handcuffed to the door. In the hotel, she gets handcuffed to the bed," Butler notes. "She has to taser me to escape…she manages to get the cuffs on me at one point. I chase her down, I smash her pedicab to catch her. There was a time where she had to walk around with the inside of a car door attached to her wrist, dragging it on the ground."
The crowning achievement of all the stunt sequences is the opening scene of a crowded Fourth of July parade, in which Milo is chasing down a bounty target dressed as Uncle Sam. In stilts. "I had the crazy idea of putting Uncle Sam on stilts and Milo chasing him through the streets of New York," says Tennant of his ambitious opening. "That turned into a much bigger stunt sequence than I had ever envisioned."
"I thought, well, you get one of those guys from Cirque du Soliel and you put him on the stilts and you have him run," Tennant explains of his original plan of how to rig the Uncle Sam character chase scene. "In your head you come up with these things and it's a funny idea in the room, but you never really think about what the physical production issues are."
The production issues required three blocks gridded with wires and weeks to prepare. Milo runs through hundreds of people, smashes through marching bands, dodges banners, runs up and down stairs, climbs onto roofs, and, of course, jumps off roofs.
About the Production...From New York City...
"New York City really is one of the stars of this movie," says Moritz. "Whatever challenges there are to shooting in New York City, it's all worth it once you get it on film."
"The whole movie started in New Jersey, and Atlantic City was always a character," explains production designer Jane Musky of the original look of the film. "But I think in the early evolution, Andy and Oliver Bokelberg, the cinematographer, and I were talking, and we thought that we'd have more room to move if we got some of it into New York."
Still, setting The Bounty Hunter in New York would require the filmmakers to feature locations far off the beaten path. "Our location scouts come back with pictures and places of things that we've never seen, even though we've spent a lot of time in New York City," says Moritz. "We shot in Queens, in Brooklyn, the West Village, Yonkers, Rockaway, Long Island. I think these locations really lend an air of credibility to the movie."
Musky utilized all the different locations within New York as part of the characters' style and development: "We knew that we wanted Nicole to be a little more Manhattan; she had come up a little more in her style. As a counterpoint, we put Milo in Brooklyn. So it was almost like just giving us more choices stylistically of where these people could go and then carrying through with the way that they are as acting the parts also."
Because Nicole is not actually in any scenes that take place in her home, it was imperative for the production design crew that Nicole's brownstone truly represent her character. Musky chose to play into Nicole's pretense of a together, straight-laced life, and at the same time hint at the fragility just below the surface. "Nicole is the most conservative in a way, because her charade is that 'I have this great place now, I don't need him anymore.' So she's the most straight laced in her environment." Another reason to create a sterile look for Nicole's apartment is to make it all the more comedic when Milo takes it upon himself to destroy it.
When she began her search for locations in Milo's world, she stumbled across the ultimate coincidental find for the run-down headquarters of Sid's bail bonds business. "Wink Mordaunt and I were out scouting, looking at one place, and then we turned around and – gasp! – we saw the sign. 'Sid's Bail Bonds!' It was the funniest piece of architecture in Queens. This place is maybe 12 feet by 20 feet. It definitely wasn't the most shootable place – it was all caved in, the roof had broken."
Finding a location already dilapidated and correctly named for a character's business in the script was too good to pass up. They immediately decided to use the space, despite the lack of practical shooting room.
"Once we got into it and cleared it out, we just made it as wild as we could for the camera," says Musky.
Often, production design can provide visual clues for the audience: moviegoers get hints from where a character lives, if he's neat or messy, how he's dressed. It might seem that on The Bounty Hunter, a production designer would take the opportunity to show how far apart Milo and Nicole are. But, says Musky, though they live in opposite worlds, "I couldn't make them so opposite that you think, 'Why would she ever fall in love with that guy?' It had to be right on the edge. For a designer, it's a pretty fun idea to have to go to the high-high end for her and the low-low end for him, and somewhere the movie has to meet in between to make it all make sense."
About the Production…on the road to Atlantic City
"The Bounty Hunter really is a road movie," says Neal Moritz. "We spend a lot of time in a beautiful, powder blue convertible that kind of becomes the home for the two characters for quite a bit of the movie."
"Every day, we were somewhere new," says Tennant.
Since so much of the shooting was spent in the stunt car, Moritz commented how the car itself became a character in the movie. "By the end of the movie we were all arguing about who was actually going to get to keep the car," he says. "But unfortunately, we crashed it, so we really didn't have to worry about whose car it ultimately was going to be."
Musky was responsible for finding the classic convertible. Having cast a responsible Prius for Nicole's car, they hoped to find an enormous huge gas-guzzler for Milo. With the help of Robert Griffin in props, they found the perfect model. "The one that Bobby had found in Florida happened to be that baby blue, which was perfect – you can picture Milo and Nicole in that romantic, light blue car against the crisp blue sky," says Musky. "Though things have gone bad between them, when they got in that car they looked great. It's romantic even though they don't know it yet."
The film's central sequence takes place in Atlantic City, and from the very beginning, the filmmakers strove to film there. Though their original plan was to shoot in A.C. for only a day or two, in the end they planned an entire week. "When I saw the movie for the first time in the editor's cut, I couldn't believe how much of the movie is in Atlantic City," he says.
"In that one week that we had to film, we shot everywhere we could," Tennant continues. "I think that was the biggest reward – it was worth the fight to get to Atlantic City."
Just as the filmmakers found the perfect New York location for Sid's Bail Bonds by happenstance, so too did they let serendipity be their guide in Atlantic City. "Andy went to Atlantic City – not so much on a scout, but just to have a look around. And he sees this weird sign, with the name Irene and an arrow pointing to the gift shop. It was like a light going on in his head – Irene is Milo's bookie, that's her name, she works in the gift shop."
"So we shot the storefront in Atlantic City with the real sign," she continues. "When you see her, you know everything about her. She loves her souvenirs, the souvenir shop never stopped in the bookie operation… it was all in the mess of this souvenir warehouse."
Though Irene's character had lackeys and ran a tight, tough ship, her ridiculous surroundings inspired by a real Atlantic City establishment led to more comedy than originally intended. "It ended up being very funny, that set…because the actress was great and it sort of fed the moment," comments Musky. "She's a tough broad, but it's still a light moment in the movie."

It's really great to see Bandung's jazz movement recently. There are many jazz community events appearing everywhere, featuring potential talents dominated by young guns. Other than that, we see more and more experienced musicians from Jakarta who happily take part in the movement. Jazzuality.com currently involves with two monthly jazz community events in two different locations per month, Braga Jazz Walk and Bumi Sangkuriang Jazz Night. On the surface it might look like a competition, but we never thought that way. We actually happy to see how things goes for jazz in Bandung today. We are also happy with the fact that all the organizers actually work in synergy. We support each other, help promoting each other and cooperate since we all share the same vision and mission. At the end of the day, it will give benefit to jazz movement in Bandung and Indonesia, including the regeneration of jazz musicians that we really, really have to think of.
We have been running Braga Jazz Walk for about a year and a half. This event is brought to the public by a harmonious collaboration between Jazzuality.com, venue Braga CityWalk and KPH Music who provides the instruments and some other equipments. This event comes every third Thursday of each month. Since we are getting closer to the third week of March, Braga Jazz Walk #21 is right around the corner. It's going to come on March 17, 2016, starting from 7:00 pm until the closing time of the mall. There will be four bands to perform and in the end we will open the stage for jam session. Either you just wish to watch or want to jam, we welcome you with open arms. The event is totally free.
Now let's get down to the business. As we are running community events, we rapidly cooperate with music schools which have jazz in their curriculum and of course, some music teachers as well. We have to give them credits for without them we will not have young talents with good skills. Speaking of which, in this edition we will feature performances of one music school located at the Southern part of Bandung and a band established by a senior guitar/bass teacher who have been teaching for many years.
Let's talk about the music school first. The name of the school is Michelle Efferin Music Centre. This school was established in 2006 by Michelle Efferin just a year after she graduated from Australian Institute of Music majoring Contemporary Performance. This school is the first one who applies Encore Music Education curriculum in Indonesia. In 2010 M.E Music Centre was appointed to be the Official Representative of Encore Music Education for Indonesia, and the founder was chosen to be the official trainer for this institution.
What's cool about this music school is that they accept students from really early age, as early as 2 years old who can take Kinderbeat class. Other than that the school has some other classes like Piano (jazz, classical, modern and pop), drum, vocal, violin and guitar. Children from 4 year-old are welcome to join the class. This year the school celebrates its 10th anniversary. They are preparing junior class competition in May, June or July. They are also looking forward to make a concert on October for the 10th anniversary celebration.
For years we have seen how good they create smart children musicians who can already perform on stage along with the teachers, but they have never participated in our event just yet. We are happy to have them in for the very first time. The founder herself is going to play. The name of the band is Michelle Efferin & Friends featuring Jazz Teens Vocal Quartet. Michelle will bring her usual team, including her husband Richard Sirait (drums), Oggie Samuel (guitar) and Iwan (bass). Performing with them are the teenage students including Celline Indrawirawan, Lolita, Naomi Kumala, Patricia Angelica, Madeline Abigail, Sydney Gabrielle and Christopher Emmanuel. If you want to see how well children can do in jazz, you got to see them.
Now let's see the senior teacher we mentioned earlier. His name is Acep Bachtiar. He was the guitarist of legendary rock band from Bandung, Staccato. Other than teaching in StiMB, he also has private lessons at his home. He has created many successful guitarists that you can easily find in music festivals. There are many students of his have participated in our events too.
A couple of months ago some of his students decided to form a new jazz-rock (fusion) band. The name they chose is Boundless, describing the band's vision to explore music beyond limit. Three members of Out of 7 are found inside the band: Herman Yulianto (guitar), Abet Darmaji (bass) and Erick Gabe (vocal). Boundless has another guitar player, Joe Luthier. The drummer is John Daurux. Since most of the players are Acep's students, you can expect to taste his sharp, rich textured jazz rock signature. We have seen many of his students emerge as skillful fusion guitarists, it's time to check out some more of his students.
Next to mention is the tall, young man playing the seducing instrument, saxophone, Hendike Muzaki. We knew him since he was still a member of 5th Avenue. He already played several times in our event with different bands like Final Script and Lumiere. Noticing his ability to play good soulful smooth jazz tunes with his saxophone, we challenge him to establish his solo career too. He told us more than a year ago that he's working on his own project. A couple of months ago he informed us that the project is on, so here's our chance to see how the project turns out to be. The name is Hendike Muzaki Project.
In this project he brings some of his closest friends. The guitarist of 5th Avenue Chris Alfeus is with him. Then lethal jazz pianist Klency Lembono is also in. We have seen some homemade video of Hendike and Klency practicing together posted in Facebook, they do sound cool. Also starring Etudiant's Ilham Septia Inda Nugraha on bass, Eggy on drums, Bhisma on keys and featuring Palandi on vocal. Knowing that this is the project of a saxophonist, we are curious to see how the saxman would share the front line with keyboard and guitar. Soulful smooth jazz is to be expected from them.
Last but not least, we welcome a band with unique name that sounds like a jazz standard, Green Dolphin Street. Their music was first inspired by blues and jazz, but then grew with more colors from rock n roll, funk and soul. This band was born in December 2011 and now comprises of 4 personnels: Antoni Sidjabat (vocal), Yosia Herdian Widianto (drums), David Alexander Manullang (guitar) and Okapatria Christie Adryan (bass),
What's also unique from them is wide array of influences found in this band, brought by each personnel ranging from Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson, Mike Portnoy, John Mayer, The Beatles, POD, Buddy Guy, Nirvana, Sting, Flea, and Rocco Prestia. This enables them to step on different music events and festivals, from rock, blues, jazz and everything else in between.
Last Christmas in 2015 they launched a special Christmas EP titled "Blues Christmas" with the spirit of charity. 30% from the selling was donated to Salomo Foundation in Semarang.

Sleepy Hollow isn't so sleepy anymore
One night, New York FBI agent Aiden Mahoney receives a visitor in a dream — an old friend named Richard Highsmith. The very next day he's sent to Sleepy Hollow because Richard's gone missing there.
Maureen — Mo — Deauville now lives in the historic town and works with her dog, Rollo, to search for missing people. She's actually the one to find Richard or more precisely his head, stuck on a statue of the legendary Headless Horseman.
Mo and Aiden, a new member of the Krewe of Hunters, the FBI's unit of paranormal investigators, explore both past and present events to figure out who betrayed Richard, who killed him and now wants to kill them, too. As they work together, they discover that they share an unusual trait — the ability to communicate with the dead. They also share an attraction that's as intense as it is unexpected if they live long enough to enjoy it!
The newest entry in the sizzling international thriller series featuring Nicholas Drummond, from #1 New York Times–bestselling author Catherine Coulter.
Freshly minted FBI agent Nicholas Drummond is barely out of his Quantico training when he and his partner, Mike Caine, are called to investigate a stabbing on Wall Street.
Their investigation, however, yields more questions than answers. It quickly becomes clear that the victim, John Pearce, was more than the naval historian and antiquities dealer he appeared to be. What Drummond doesn't know is that buying and selling rare books was Pearce's cover, and that he had devoted his life to discovering the whereabouts of a missing World War I U-boat concealing a stash of gold bullion, and an unexpected surprise that only raises more questions. When Drummond and Caine find both of Pearce's adult children have disappeared, the case assumes a new sense of urgency. The FBI agents know their best lead lies in the victim's cryptic final words —"The key is in the lock." But what key? What lock?
The search for Adam and Sophia Pearce takes them on an international manhunt, which threatens to run them afoul of an eccentric billionaire industrialist with his own plans not only for the lost gold, but the creation of a weapon unlike anything the world has ever seen.
She had the perfect life.
She had the perfect cover.
She was the perfect witness.
Until they found her.
When Teresa Casali was young she discovered she had a strange gift: the ability to read people's memories. But the gift seemed more like a curse as her mob boss father used her to gain the upper hand in his world of corruption and violence. Exposed by her own family to the darkest impulses of mankind, Teresa is alone and unprotected. She realizes that if she is to survive, she has to run.
Out of nowhere, or so she believes, a man by the name of Andre Mandak appears. He kills her pursuers — but that's not nearly enough for Teresa to trust him. It is his promise to get her into Witness Protection, along with his mind-blowing ability to help her control her gift before it consumes her, that convinces Teresa Casali to become Allie Girard. Living a normal life with a new family, she shuts the door to the past although Mandak is clear: when the time is right, he too will benefit from her powers.
For years Allie flourishes until the day her cover is blown and the truth comes tumbling out. Once again she is on the run, with her own life and those of her loved ones at stake. But this time she will not be a pawn. This time she will use her finely honed gift to end the threat that began with her family's betrayal. From perfect target to perfect witness, Allie Girard is ready to take on the past even if it kills her.
To save innocent lives, they'll have to risk their own.
Self-help superstar Rachel de Luca and Detective Mason Brown have finally given in to their overwhelming attraction to each other, but neither of them is ready to let physical passion turn into full-blown romance, so they carefully maintain an emotional distance. Then a judge's daughter disappears, and Mason has a terrible sense that it's connected to the most recent case they solved together: the abduction of Rachel's assistant.
The discovery of a string of missing women — all young, all troubled — seems like a promising lead. But there's no clear connection between the missing girls and the high-profile young woman Mason is trying to find. He realizes that once again he'll have to rely on his own well-honed instincts and Rachel's uncanny capacity to see through people's lies in order to catch a predator and rescue his captives. But can they do it before Rachel becomes his next victim?
3rd in nationally bestselling Cookbook Nook Mystery series.
Halloween in Crystal Cove, California, is a big deal, involving a spooky soiree where the Winsome Witches, a fund-raising group, gather to open up their purse strings and trade superstitions. But party magicians, fortune-tellers, and herbalists are only the beginning of this recipe for disaster.
Jenna Hart has packed The Cookbook Nook chock-full of everything from ghostly texts to witchy potions in anticipation of the annual fund-raiser luncheon. But there's one unexpected addition to the menu: murder.
When the Head Priestess of the Winsome Witches is found dead under mysterious circumstances, there's no logical answer and plenty of blame to go around. With her aunt, Vera, unable to call on her ability to foresee the future, Jenna will have to use more than just sleight of hand and a few magic tricks to conjure up the truth.
The final storm of the season could be their last.
After barely escaping death when her plane crashed deep in the Rocky Mountains during a snowstorm, Laura Doyle is left with a lingering fear for her life. Her lover, FBI agent Cameron Winger, reassures her that he found her then and always will. But Laura is right to be afraid, because when their engagement is announced it signals to a madman that it's time for his killing spree to begin again.
Twice thwarted by Cameron and his partners, the Stormchaser pairs random acts of God with deliberate acts of evil. His final act of vengeance will finish his twisted vendetta by taking from Cameron the thing he loves most: Laura.
As law enforcement struggles to connect the gruesome murders he's committed to mask his return, the Stormchaser draws closer to his true target. But Cameron and Laura don't realize they're in the eye of the storm — and this time, being unprepared for the onslaught could spell disaster.

Char Bee Hoon Recipe 炒米粉
Char Bee Hoon (char 炒 = fry, and bee hoon 米粉 = rice sticks, vermicelli) is a very popular meal prepared by Singaporean housewives for their family especially on days when the wifey runs out of idea cooking 3 dishes 1 soup set dinner. You will frequently see fried bee hoon in a housewarming, baby showers and children's birthday parties. Since this was the last dish (and one of those prepared meals for deep-freezing I cooked for Vanessa the dawn I left Melbourne), I might as well share the recipe here.
There are many ways to char bee hoon and this is the style I've cooked for my family for about 2 decades now.
Char Bee Hoon Recipe
1 packet Rice Sticks (soak in tepid water till soften, drain and set aside).
1-2 cans Stewed Pork. I used 2 cans not so much for the meat but the gravy in the canned pork makes a difference when frying this dish. Or you may substitute with fresh sliced pork or chicken, prawns and squid.
¼ whole Cabbage, shredded.
2 Carrots, shredded.
¼-½ cup Dried Shrimps (high in cholesterol and taste, so you decide the amount or omit them).
8-10 Dried Shitake Mushrooms, reconstituted and shredded.
2 cloves Garlic, minced.
1-2 tablespoons Groundnut Oil.
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce.
3 tablespoons Light Soy Sauce.
A few dashes of White Pepper Powder.
A few dashes of Sesame Oil (after turning off heat to perfume dish).
Shredded Omelet.
Chopped Cilantro Leaves.
Fried Shallots.
Red cut Chillies.
Calamansi Limes, halved. Squeeze over the noodles before eating.
Happy cooking 🙂

Well, Summer is pretty much over. But weekends will continue to kick ass. Here is some stuff for this weekend, if you are looking for suggestions!
Food: Daichan - Billed as Japanese Soul Food, it definitely gets points for authenticity (they even serve Natto, ffs. If you don't know what is, here is a wikipedia link. ) There food is really quite good, and probably the best traditional Japanese food I have in the San Fernando Valley. They have a slight Hawaiian slant, but that's fine with me. Check them out over on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City.
Drink: Chartreuse - I have resisted going too "High end" with this bit in the past, as I think a good alcohol should be one you aren't afraid to drink because its so damn expensive. HOWEVER, having finally got my hands on a bottle of this renown liquour last week for my Birthday... I can't suggest denying yourself the unique experience. Quite possibly the best drinking experience I have ever had, I literally didn't want to swallow it, it was that good. Try it (be warned though, a bottle is over $50.), and be impressed by the dizzying array of herbal flavors you get and the intense reaction in your mouth, giving it an almost syrup like consistency. Very unique.
Movie: Zombieland - This movie was a definite sleeper movie for me, considering its low budget and middling cast (at the time; obviously Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone have had much success since). However, my girlfriend suggested we watch it on dvd and I really think it is an excellent movie. Very innovative and well written, all 4 of the principle characters have loads of personality and talent (I actually have always enjoyed Woody Harrelson; I think he's a bit under rated). I enjoyed the take on the zombie movie it has, and the cameo midway through the movie is awesome.
Anyway, I hope I have given you a few things to consider. I realize this will likely never end up a true weekly piece, but I hope people can check back intermittently and have enjoyed my suggestions so far.
If you do take me up on one of them, feel free to leave some feedback (good or bad) in the comments. Have an awesome weekend!

I blogged about the Conservation Reserve program before; basically it's a program that pays farmers to not till highly-erodible or wetland areas, and encourages them to plant native prairie or trees. (This program was recently named as the single most effective conservation practice for birds and other species conservation in prairies.)
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced this week that it will not allow farmers to plant crops on lands set aside in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) without paying the normal penalty for breaking their contract. Restrictions on grazing and haying were lifted in May by USDA to help livestock producers struggling with high feed prices, resulting from large quantities of corn being diverted for biofuel production…
High commodity prices are encouraging farmers to boost production by tilling marginal CRP farmlands that are better left fallow to conserve soils and water quality, and to provide habitat important to birds and other wildlife.
This is a good thing–while some restrictions on land use have been lifted, it's not a wholesale opening up of the conserved lands. Unfortunately, about 4 million acres are under contracts expected to expire next year, and it's unlikely that they will be renewed.

"GLCA was for me because I could learn at my own pace and didn't have to deal with classroom politics. I absolutely loved this school! The teachers are amazing. They're very helpful and were willing to guide me through areas that I struggled with the most. I mostly struggled with math and chemistry. When I needed help from my teachers, they were only a phone call or email away. I made new friends through field trips and through collaborating on projects with my fellow students.

Click for Link to WILMINGTON STAR-NEWS ARTICLE on Pastor John - OCTOBER 24, 2015
Windermere Presbyterian is happy to introduce our minister,
John R. Pflug, Jr.
I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on the 15th of October in 1984. After about a year in Oklahoma my family moved to Texas where we have been since then.When I was in the third grade my father entered Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and became a United Methodist Pastor, and my mother has been a school teacher since that time. In 1990 my family adopted my sister Kimberly (who now lives and works near Royse City, Tx.)
In my elementary and middle school years my family moved around the Northeast Texas area. At various times we lived in the Texas cities of Rockwall, Paris, Keller, Rowlett, and finally Commerce. At Commerce High School I was very active all around. I lettered in five different varsity sports. My junior year our football team won the state championship. My senior year I was elected student body president, and in 2003 graduated in the top ten percent of my class. From there I went on to attend Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Tx. I played football for my first year in college, and was elected to serve as a student senator. The most wonderful part about my time at TLU was meeting my wife Brittany.
In our last year at TLU Brittany and I were engaged to be married. We began to drive every Sunday morning to Austin, Tx. (where Brittany is originally from). There, we joined University Presbyterian Church where we were married in September of 2007.
After graduation from college, followed by our September marriage, Brittany began work with a property management firm in downtown Austin while I began seminary at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Three years later, in 2010, we had one of the biggest years of our lives. Our daughter Emma was born on June 1st that year, two days after my graduation from seminary. And on June 9th our family moved to Winnsboro, Texas where I had accepted the call to be pastor of First Presbyterian Church.
Ministry Experience
My favorite aspect of being a minister is preaching. I love to proclaim the Word of God. I also love people and delight in sharing the grace and love of Jesus Christ in a way that builds relationships and communities. Above all I love to see when the saving gospel of Jesus finds lost souls, heals broken relationships, and glorifies God through authentic, faithful lives.
Community Involvement
In addition to serving the church, I served as the youngest mayor of Winnsboro in the city's history, a member of the Economic Development Corporation, a board member of the Winnsboro Community Resource Center, President of the Ministerial Alliance, and Chairman of the Presbytery Life Committee for Grace Presbytery.
Family and Home Time
In my leisure time I enjoy running, swimming, and reading. I love to be at the beach because the ocean reminds me of the Bigness of God!! (which is a delightful bonus in moving to Wilmington). For you all I can pretend to be a Redskins or Panthers fan, but please know that in the secrecy of my own on Sunday afternoons I will be cheering for America's Team- The Dallas Cowboys! Emma loves school; she is a fast learner and has been in gymnastics for the last two years. Brittany enjoys working part-time as a substitute teacher, and a wonderful full-time mother. We all enjoy eating at new and exciting restaurants, meeting new people, as well as having quiet nights in when we can watch a movie and grill a few steaks.
Future at Windermere
We are so excited about the new family of faith that awaits us at Windermere, and the wonderful opportunities for the gospel available in Wilmington, North Carolina. It is a big change for a Texas family to become a North Carolina family, but we serve a BIG God who has opened this door to big and wonderful things. I hope to see you, love you, and serve Christ with you all very soon.
