We Will Not Go Down

A blinding flash of white light

Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight

People running for cover

Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes

With ravaging fiery flames

And nothing remains

Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down

In the night, without a fight

You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools

But our spirit will never die

We will not go down

In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike

Murdered and massacred night after night

While the so-called leaders of countries afar

Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain

And the bombs fell down like acid rain

But through the tears and the blood and the pain

You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down

In the night, without a fight

You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools

But our spirit will never die

We will not go down

In Gaza tonight

Who's the Terroris?

noreply@blogger.com (InDigest) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 02:23:00 +0000

Song by : DAM

To listen this song click here

Who's the terrorist?

I'm the terrorist?!

How am I the terrorist when you've taken my land?

Who's the terrorist?

You're the terrorist!

You've taken everything I own while I'm living in my homeland

You're killing us like you've killed our ancestors

You want me to go to the law?

What for?

You're the Witness, the Lawyer, and the Judge!

If you are my Judge

I'll be sentenced to death

You want us to be the minority?

To end up the majority in the cemetery?

In your dreams!

You're a Democracy?

Actually it's more like the Nazis

Your countless raping of the Arab's soul

Finally impregnated it

Gave birth to your child

His name: Suicide Bomber

And then you call him the terrorist?

You attack me but still you cry out

When i remind you it was you who attacked me

You silence me and shout:

"Don't they have parents to keep them at home?"

"But you let small children throw stones!"

WHAT?!

You must have forgotten you buried our parents under the rubble of our homes

And now while my agony is so immense

You call me the terrorist?

Who's the terrorist?

I'm the terrorist?

How I am the terrorist

When you've taken my land?!

Who's the terrorist?

You're the terrorist!

You've taken everything I own

while I'm living in my homeland

Why terrorist?! Because my blood is not calm

It's boiling!

Because I hold my head for my homeland

You've killed my loved ones

Now I'm all alone

My parents driven out

But I will remain to shout out

I'm not against peace

Peace is against me

It's going to destroy me

You don't listen to uor voices

You silence us and degrade us

And who are you?!

And when did you became ruler?

Look how many you've killed

and how many orphans you've created

Our mothers are crying

Our fathers are in anguish

Our land is disappearing

And I'll tell you who you are!

You grew up sported

We grew up in poverty

Who grew up with freedom?

And who grew up in continument?

We fight for Our freedom

But you've made that a crime

And you, the terrorist call me the terrorist!

Who's the terrorist?

I'm the terrorist?

How I am the terrorist

When you've taken my land?!

Who's the terrorist?

You're the terrorist!

You've taken everything I own

while I'm living in my homeland

So when will I stop being a terrorist?!

When you hit me and I turn the other check

How do you expect me to thank

the one who harmed me?!

I tell you what!

You tell me how you want me to be!

Down on my knees with my hands tied up

My eyes to the ground

Surrounding by bodies

Houses destroyed

Families driven out

Our children orphaned

Our freedom chained up

You oppress

You kill

We bury

We'll remain patient

We'll suppress our pain

Most importantly you feel secure

Just relax and leave us all the pain

You see our blood is like that of dogs

NOT EVEN

When dogs die they receive sympathy

So our blood is not as valuable as a dogs

No - My blood is valuable

And I will continue defending myself Even if you call me a terrorist

Yahoo's Top 10 Searches for 2008

noreply@blogger.com (InDigest) — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 03:38:00 +0000

Yahoo! has announced the top10 searches during 2008, especially in the United States. Below is the list.

1. Britney Spears

The singer's steep trajectory to redemption restored her to the top of searches. Her year began with a police visit, hospital stay, and psych evaluation. She returned under her father's shelter and, by summer, settled custody with her ex. Professionally, she guested on a sitcom, won thrice at the MTV Video Music Awards, broke records with "Womanizer," relaunched her site, and released a documentary detailing her fall and comeback...by age 27.

2. WWE

A June explosion destroyed a World Wrestling Entertainment stage and "injured" chairman Vince McMahon, unleashing a sweaty soap opera of chaos that included his kids appealing for cooperation in difficult times. The stunt could've symbolized the sporting empire's battles against the economy's fall and mixed martial arts' rise. WWE produced more events, video games, and movies to make up for fewer paying fans, and faithfuls kept track online to maintain its Top 2 status.

3. Barack Obama

The Illinois junior senator faced two hard-fought contests and nearly won a third—although toppling Britney Spears wasn't on his list. He entered 2008 as a relative newcomer on the national scene and ended the year as president-elect. His campaign defied political wisdom and made history at every turn. His Web strategy set the groundwork to make him the first wired president and, in an unprecedented Search surge, landed him at No. 3.

4. Miley Cyrus

Before 2008, the singer/actress had been better known—and searched—by her Disney persona, Hannah Montana. She appeared on shows like "Idol Gives Back" as Cyrus, but true name recognition came with scandal: a Vanity Fair spread featuring the 15-year-old seemingly wrapped only in a bedsheet. Savvy Cyrus apologized, survived, and closed down Disneyland for a 16th birthday charity bash, and ended up at No. 4

5. RuneScape

The multi-player role-playing game's international popularity rests on its cheap access, ability to run on older computers, and compelling play. Its underground success has even led to a real black market, trading actual cash for RuneScape gold—and controversial restrictions to stop it. A new boss, graphics, and touted player-versus-player combat release signal the company's power play to step up in the RPG battle...and take hold at No. 5.

6. Jessica Alba

Her movies fared none too well, following 2007 missteps that got her three Razzie Worst Actress nominations. Still, she earned Best Movie Actress at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and No. 6 in searches, buoyed by her wedding and baby Honor Marie (who earned a reported $1.5 million in her OK! mag debut). The pregnant pause may have given her impetus to switch to more serious roles—something to watch for in 2009.

7. Naruto

The manga. The game. The anime. Whatever form Naruto Uzumaki takes, the awkward but accomplished young graduate of the Ninja Academy remains the Web's most popular fictional character in seventh place. His peers and enemies also command their own followings, but the complex tale of Naruto (whose name translates to "maelstrom"), the orphaned misfit who craves recognition, resonates with its generation of fans.

8. Lindsay Lohan

At No. 8, the actress made stumbling progress back from rehab, revolving-door relationships, and rejected roles. On the upside, she settled down (with a monogamous twist), blogged about politics, and recreated Marilyn Monroe's photo shoot. On the downside, she got booted from "Ugly Betty" and as World Music Awards host. Lohan has had celebs testifying to her talent, but a true comeback may have to wait for 2009.

9. Angelina Jolie

Leading power lists in Forbes and even Guinness World Records, the actress took her place among Hollywood's elite. "Delicate" condition aside, she underscored her image as a tough-dame throwback with a 21st-century vibe. She earned box-office bucks as an assassin and cartoon tigress, Oscar cred in "Changeling," and karma by donating her and Brad Pitt's twins' $14 mil pictorial payout to charity—moves that muscled her in at No. 9.

10. American Idol

Judges kept declaring its 2008 singers their best ever, but while the Fox reality show ruled ratings, an audience decline since 2007 sent producers into a fit of self-examination. In a season beset with complaints, "Idol" had the last laugh with a smashing finale and iTunes recordbreaker. The show also got "cougar" into household vernacular, unlikely credit for exposing youth to the democratic process, and a top Search 10 nod once again.

The Hotel with Tradition and Natural Touch : Santika

noreply@blogger.com (InDigest) — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 11:00:00 +0000

What makes the hotel chosen by the people? most people choose a hotel because of the convenience and price. But some people also because of the food provided by the hotel. Hmmmm, if you look for hotels that provide traditional Indonesian food, then you should try Santika Hotel. I have stay in Santika Jakarta and Yogyakarta. Both of them serve Indonesian traditional food such as gado-gado, nasi pecel, gudeg Yogya, soto betawi, nasi liwet, nasi rawon and others. I think this is the best value of this hotel.

Yes..., Santika is touch of Indonesian Hospitality with briliance of highest standards in hotel services. It offers a value-for-money accomodation and uncompromising hospitality in well appointed facilities. By offering tradition themes in design and traditional standards of hospitality, it aims to bring the touch of Indonesia to all Santika Hotels & Resorts and The Royal Collection.

There are so many way to reach a positive image for an hotel. There is through large-scale campaign, there is also create a different appearance, and others marketing strategy could be done. When mostly of hotels in Jakarta proud of the international cachet image, the Hotel Santika Jakarta (HSJ) actually dare choose Betawi culture as a decoy guest. The Brand values of Santika Hotels are'Indonesian Home', a home that portrays the true Indonesian hospitality

Santika Hotel Group have a commitment to local culture as the image of each hotel. Because HSJ there is in Jakarta, then the Betawi culture have been choosen as decoy of this 8th branche of the hotel group.

Although not realized with the physical characteristics of the building but Betawi culture is so thick. You could see the statue Mpok Mine in central lobby, the various paintings on the Betawi, various photos of Jakarta in the first period (Jakarta Tempo Doeleo) which adapted the naming of historic places in the city.

When you check in at fron office, you able to see a relief that arise talked about the history of Sunda Kelapa harbor.

But I think, the best value of this hotel is its traditional touchsuch as providing various Indonesian traditional food menu for breakfast in Teluk Jakarta Cafe. You will meet many kind of Indonesian traditional food such as gado-gado, nasi liwet solo, soto betawi, nasi pecel, etc.

If you want to reserve or to know package and prices, you can visit santika.com or call your travel agent.

Google Adsense: Easiest Way to Making Money Online

noreply@blogger.com (InDigest) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:29:00 +0000

By : Angal Kumari

With Google Adsense earnings, the possibilities are limitless. Yet there is also the possibility of someone taking advantage of the easy money process that this internet marketing is doing. If you think more about it, these negative factors may force Google to break down and thrash Adsense in the process. If that happens, people would have to go back to the old ways of internet marketing that does not make money online as easy as Adsense earnings.
For now, however, Google Adsense earnings are here to stay. As long as there are people wanting to earn some easy cash online just using their talents, the future ahead is looking good. Besides with all the strict guidelines that Google is enforcing over Adsense earnings, it will take awhile for the Adsense privileges to be spammed and even terminated.

For the last couple of years, Google Adsense has taken control of forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet. Already, there are tales of fabulous money to be made and millions made by those who are working from home. It seems that Google Adsense earnings have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now seems to be the easiest way to making money online.

The key to success with Google Adsense earnings is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your website. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.

With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense earnings have become an instant hit.

For some who are just new to this, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts is laid to rest. For more details go to www.thegoogleincome.com .There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.

1. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites.

2. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and e-books that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.

When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense earnings. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.

The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense earnings is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning. For more help go to www.yourgoogleincome.com .The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 urls. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem “useless”.

With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image

Measure Webpage Time Loading

noreply@blogger.com (InDigest) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:10:00 +0000

Would you like to know how long it takes to load a webpage? If you want to measure it, just visit to numion.com . Numion will measure the time for you. Enter the URL to be measured and watch the top of the window.

The StopWatch can only measure websites that can be displayed in a frame. Some websites use javascript to break out of frames. This is not a StopWatch bug.

How does it work?

The stopwatch is a small Javascript that runs on your computer (not the Numion server). It measures the time between the moment your browser starts to load the URL and when the browser signals that it has finished ("Done" in the status bar). The measurement therefore includes fetching and interpreting all HTML (including frames), images, and Javascripts. It does not include content that is handled by plugins. If the page is in the cache then the stopwatch will measure the faster loading time (see tip above). The accuracy is the accuracy of the Javascript timer, on most systems 10 milliseconds.

Let's try it.......

How to Make Blog Load Faster?

noreply@blogger.com (InDigest) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:41:00 +0000

Speed is the key. Yes, this expression is actually right, especially when we acces internet. Sometime we have limited connection speed due to unstable network. This is some tips from blogger. The speed at which your blog loads is critical to attracting more readers to your blog. If your blog takes a long time to load, many readers may leave your blog before they have the chance to read it. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help your blog load faster and attract more users:

Posts

Your blog's load time can be affected by the number of posts you display on your main page. You can easily edit the number of posts displayed of the main page from the Settings | Formatting tab. You can then select the number of posts you want to display on the main page. It's recommended displaying 10 or fewer posts on the main page.

Third Party JavaScript and Links

For optimal blog load speed, its recommended using Google/Blogger widgets, JavaScipt and links. However, if you need to use third party JavaScipt and links, your blog will load much faster if you put all JavaScript at the bottom of your blog. If you have third party JavaScript and links in your sidebar, put them in at the bottom of the sidebar.

Images and Media

The more images, videos and other multi-media you have on your blog the longer it will take to load. However, images and other multimedia are important to attracting users to your blog, so it is important to optimize the load speed of your images and media. Here are a few tips to increase the load speed of your media:

Decrease the size of your images or use thumbnails that link to the full-size image.
If you use third party images, consider uploading them to Picasa Web Albums via the Blogger post editor.
If you have a large number of images to display, you can upload all your images (from a vacation or event) to a Picasa Web Albumand link to the album in your post or sidebar.

Other suggestions

If you've added any custom CSS to your blog, make sure you put it at the top of the page.
The most important content of your blog that catches readers attention should load the quickest. To help you identify which items are taking the longest to load you can use Stopwatch. To use Stopwatch, enter your blog's URL into the text box and click "Start StopWatch". Stopwatch will then open your blog in a frame and will record the time it takes for everything on your blog to load, including images, videos, widgets, etc. Take note of the items that take the longest to load and modify them appropriately using our suggestions.

When I was in course, I used this script from dynamicdrive.com to decorate my personal website at GeoCities. Long before current blogging trend,about 10 years ago, GeoCities has been giving us the space to create a website. However, we must use complex html program language.At the time, there was no blog template as it is now.

If you want decorate your blog with a circling text trail in your mouse cursor. You will have a textual message circle your mouse cursor and follow it around. After doing a slightly modification, this script can work in blogger, and can work at IE, FF, and Chrome browser as well.

Just do some easy steps:

1. Log in to your blogger account

2. Click Layout

3. Then click Edit HTML

4. Backup your template

5. Add below script in <BODY> section.


/* Circle Text Styles */
#outerCircleText {
/* Optional - DO NOT SET FONT-SIZE HERE, SET IT IN THE SCRIPT */
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: &#39;verdana&#39;, verdana, arial;
color: #990000;
/* End Optional */

/* Start Required - Do Not Edit */
position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;z-index: 3000;cursor: default;}
#outerCircleText div {position: relative;}
#outerCircleText div div {position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;text-align: center;}
/* End Required */
/* End Circle Text Styles */
</style>
<script type='text/javascript'>

How To Make Laptop's Battery More Durable?

Laptops often become tools of choice in many daily activities, especially for those who are working in high mobility. Laptop battery is one of the critical components of laptop that must be looked lively. Many laptop users admitted that their laptop’s battery getting drop in short period of time.

How to treat the battery to be more durable and can be used longer? Find out some following tips that I got from detiknet.

Set Battery Power

In Windows, there is a feature named power options. Through this feature you can set the laptop power consumption. This method is very easy. Click the Start button, then open the Control Panel and then double-click Power Options icon. Will be shown a dialog box with the name Power Option Properties.

Try to click on one of six choices. Setting of Turn of The Monitor, Hard Disk, System Standby or Hibernates System will be different time, depending on the options you choose.

If you want more durable battery, it is recommended you choose ‘Max Battery’. This option will save battery power using because only need minimum processors speed such as to read the document or check e-mail. Max Battery will affect the speed of the laptop in means the performance will decrease.

Do not leave any device 'park' in the laptop when not in use

Laptop users often leave the devices are embedded in the laptop - either the cable digital camera, USB memory stick, or PC Card - the device is not used again. Make sure the equipment was pulled from the laptop when not in use because it will deplete the battery power.

Note the use and charging of the battery

Do not half-hearted charging battery. Charge it up to 100 percent full. If the battery is almost exhausted, charge battery back up to full but do not wait until the battery is empty. This will make the battery to work properly.

That needs to be longer, remove the battery from the laptop if you do not use a laptop in a long time. It will be better if the laptop is planted directly into the adapter if you will be working in a long time.

Reduce brightness

Webuser.co.uk spread that the LCD will consume battery power. Therefore you are advised to reduce the brightness of laptop may be little, but still comfortable in your eyes.

Secreen saver can deplete the battery. Therefore, use a screen saver 'Blank'. How? Right click on the Desktop and select Properties. After appears Display Properties dialog box, select the Screen Saver tab. In the drop down menu, there are many options Screen savers, including 3D FlowerBox, 3D Flying Objects, 3D Text, Blank, Marquee and so forth. You are advised to choose 'Blank' and set the waiting time to 2 minutes and then click OK. This step will create a more cost-efficient battery.

Reduce the resolution

Another way to create a more durable battery is by reducing the screen resolution and number of colors used in laptops. To minimize it, you can right-click on the Windows desktop and select Properties. In the Display Properties dialog box select the Settings tab. Then set the resolution by its attractive slider left to reduce the resolution. Then in the drop down menu select the lower color quality, and then click OK.

Turn off the Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi, which of course participate actively take the battery consumption. If it does not intend to take advantage of wireless access or Internet, make sure the Wi-Fi in the off position that the battery more durable.
