Chihuahuas Have No Fear of Satan
by: Dave Mundy

Common household pets aren't very religious by nature; indeed, I've never noticed either of my chihuahuas showing any interest whatsoever in reading my Bible.

But they sure don't like Satan. In fact, they chased him out of our apartment complex.

The dogs had taken me for my morning walk the other day. They take me outside twice a day, in return for which I feed them, bathe them, give them lots of scratching and allow them to sleep as much as they want.

They'd stopped for a moment to inspect their markings on the nearest telephone pole when I heard Satan sneaking up behind me.

"Satan!" a man's voice bellowed from a nearby apartment door. "You leave those little dogs alone!"

As I turned, I saw Satan for the first time in my life — a full-grown German Shepherd (y'all don't believe those stories you hear about him having horns and such). He loped across the parking lot, eager to work wickedness.

Smedley hit him first, launching all four pounds of pure chihuahua fury at Satan's chest. After bouncing off the 100-pound monster the first time, he found a tooth hold on Satan's back.

Rusty attacked from the rear, getting the shepherd's leg in his jaws and gnawing away like it was a rib bone. When I think about it now, it was kinda funny, watching that big dog shaking his leg with its five-pound attachment.

Jerry Falwell never did a better job. Satan started running.

Smedley and Rusty fell off before the big'un had gone too far, and they chased him halfway across the vacant field adjacent to our apartments before the big devil's longer legs enabled him to pull away. The man from the apartment who'd called him earlier rushed by, mumbling apologies, and we saw them disappear around the corner.

Smedley (that's Lieutenant Colonel Smedley D. Butler) and Rusty (Sergeant Major Russell J. Chihooiehooie) normally don't like each other all that much, near as I can tell, but the Houston Rockets never displayed the kind of teamwork those two showed when fighting Satan.

I guess I should've expected it of Rusty; several years ago he put 137 stitches in a Doberman after the attack dog had foolishly wandered into my brother's yard and started chasing around my 4-year-old niece. Age may have made him a tad slower and his teeth less sharp, but he can still scrap with the best of 'em — even when it means gumming 'em to death.

Smedley, however, surprised me. He's always been a coward — you know, the chihuahua who hides under the couch until the band of kids wanders by, jumping out to nip the last one in line and then diving back under the couch.

I named him for a two-time Medal of Honor winner and had heretofore regretted that somewhat.

I told my preacher about the incident and he got a big kick out of it, and even worked it into his sermon the other day. He still won't let me bring 'em to church, though; he says he doesn't trust 'em with all that nice wood around.

Satan stays away from us now. I talked with the man he rooms with later, and he told me he'd run almost three blocks before Satan finally let him catch up. "Those little dogs scared him to death," he said.

Personally, I think they just put the fear of God into him.

Cinta memang gak selamanya berjalan mulus... Banyak kerikil yang harus kita lewat dan Sakit sekali rasanya. Tapi setelah kita melewati itu semua, pasti akan terasa melegakan karena sakit itu telah hilang. Dan jangan lagi menoleh ke belakang biarkan itu berlalu, pandanglah ke depan sebagai suatu pilihan kita untuk melangkah.. Dan pastikan kita masih bersama orang yang kita cintai untuk tetap di samping kita selama kita melangkah.

You CAN 'Catch a Cheater' in a Huge Percentage of Relationships
by: Ed Opperman

A sad but true fact is that along with other changes in the fast paced world of our society, the value placed on relationships has taken a drastic plunge. What once was sacred, in today's time, seems to be an everyday throw-away item that can easily be pushed to the side while a girlfriend or spouse makes the unfortunate decision to cheat on her. Some believe it is almost impossible to catch a cheater unless you see the offense first hand, but this is not true.

The increasingly popular area of the new generation is known by many as 'cyberspace'. Luckily, it does not take a spaceship to get into the back door of this area of our society, and it has proven to be a place that works as a magnet to countless individuals that commit infidelity in their relationship. In fact, the Internet is one of the best and easiest places there is for innocent victims to catch a cheater when they consult with an experienced professional that knows the exact plan of action to put into place for the most effective results.

The Internet has become what many people feel to be a very safe and well-hidden area for them to engage in illicit affairs and steamy conversations without the worry of being caught by their spouse or significant other. They mistakenly make the assumption that once they have taken the steps to cover up their tracks by deleting the search history on the computer system they are using and removing emails, that all of their worries about being caught are tucked safely beyond reach. The good thing about this is that this false way of thinking can actually be used to your advantage to catch a cheater, by using the services provided by an experienced professional in the field of investigation.

This is a beneficial service that numerous individuals have taken advantage of, simply because of the in-depth research that is used to provide them with everything they need to know about unfaithful partners. Not only can you find out about cheating that is currently happening, but you can also find out about any past cheating that may have occurred.

If you suspect that your partner has been sneaking behind your back, consult with an investigator that has the tools to check web history searches, email history, ad placements on networking sites for single's, and other beneficial ways that have proven to catch a cheater and put your mind to rest once and for all.

Judul di atas lucu ya? Masa sih, terlalu banyak cinta akan membunuhmu?? Yang ada, terlalu banyak cinta akan membuat hidupmu bahagia dan berarti. Jadi tebarkanlah cinta kasih di dunia (KD banget!). He he he he....

Dalam hubungan kita pasti banyak angan dan cita yang harus kita gapai. Aku ingin begini, kamu ingin begitu. Walaupun berbeda, semoga angan dan cita kita terkabul dan semoga semuanya dapat kita jalani dengan sempurna.

Jika kita dulu tak bertemu apa jadinya hidupku? Entah kemana aku melangkah. Jika saja dari dulu, kamu menemaniku pasti anganku takkan besar kepada orang lain. Jika di waktu yang akan datang kita masih bersama, akan kugenggam tanganmu dengan erat agar kau tak meninggalkanku.

Hasrat untuk mencintaimu takkan pernah sirna, karena kamu selalu menyalakan hasratku dengan cintamu.

Asa? Asaku padamu sangat besar. Asa dimana kita menjalani hubungan ini dan membawanya ke pernikahan suci di Gereja, dan asa kita akan berumah tangga, dan asa kita akan mendengar tangisan bayi dan tawa anak kecil. Bawa aku ke asa itu, sayang. Karena aku begitu mencintaimu.

Segala ucapan syukur aku panjatkan pada-Mu, Tuhan. Atas segala yang telah Kau berikan padaku. Orang tua yang selalu mengasihiku, kakak adik yang baik (namun kadang menyebalkan), teman dan sahabat yang setia dan ada dalam hidupku, dan terutama untuk seseorang yang telah ada di sampingku saat ini, Benhard. Dia adalah berkat terindah yang Kau beri.

Maafkan aku jika selama ini aku belum menjadi wanita yang kau inginkan, karena aku masih dipenuhi dengan sifat burukku. Segala keangkuhanku, segala keegoisanku, segala kemanjaanku dan segala rasa emosi yang bertubi-tubi menyerangmu belum bisa hentikan.
Maaf, hanya itu yang bisa aku ucapkan padamu. Aku akan berusaha untuk mengubah semua agar semua terlihat indah.

Di waktuku masih kecil, gembira dan senang...
Tiada duka kukenang, tak kunjung mengerang...
Di sore hari nan sepi, ibuku bertelut...
Sujud berdoa kudengar, namaku disebut...
Di doa ibuku, namaku disebut...
Di doa ibuku dengar, ada namaku disebut...

Di atas adalah lirik lagu “Di doa ibuku”, dinyanyikan oleh Nikita (penyanyi Rohani)... Menceritakan tentang, seorang ibu yang selalu mendoakan anaknya di setiap ia berdoa

Terima Kasih, dua kata yang mengandung makna begitu dalam untuk manusia. Setiap orang setelah menerima pemberian,pertolongan, atau apapun juga pasti tidak lupa mengucapkan terima kasih. Anak kecil pun selalu diajarkan oleh orang tuanya untuk mengucapkan terima kasih.

Tapi saat ini, kata terima kasih seperti tenggelam. Orang sudah jarang mengucapkan terima kasih dan cenderung cuek / gengsi mengucapkan kata terima kasih kepada orang yang sudah menolongnnya. Pasti karena mind set mereka sudah berpikiran "Untuk apa saya mengucapkan terima kasih? Saya memang layak ditolong / diberi oleh dia, dan dia bawahan saya." Jadi menurut mereka, terima kasih sudah tidak penting lagi.

Ada juga beberapa orang yang masih sadar akan ber-terima kasih. Mereka masih mempunyai rasa terima kasih karena sudah ditolong oleh orang lain.

Jadi lebih baik, kita mengucapkan terima kasih apabila kita sudah diberi sesuatu atau sudah ditolong oleh orang lain (Sahabat, pacar, orang tua kita, teman, dan orang-orang di sekitar kita)

Terima kasih sudah membaca tulisan saya...

Kolonel Harldan Sanders, lahir pada tanggal 9 September 1890. Mulai aktif dalam mewaralabakan (franchise) bisnis ayamnya pada usia 65 tahun. Saat ini, usahanya yang dikenal dengan Kentucky Fries Chicken atau KFC (R) telah tumbuh menjadi salah satu yang terbesar dalam sistem makanan siap saji di dunia. Tapi sebelum menuai kesuksesannya, selama 9 tahun, kolonel Sanderd berusaha menyempurnakan metode memasak ayam dengan menggunakan sebelas bumbu dan rempah-rempah seperti yang kita kenal saat ini. Dengan resep masakan itu, daging ayam menjadi sangat empuk, renyah, dan gurih. Dan juga menggunakan penggorengan biasa dan meningkatkan cita rasanya, sehinggga saat ini kita mengenal istilah restoran cepat saji atau fast food karena kecepatan memasak ayam dan kelezatan rasanya.

Di tahun 1952, kolonel Sanders menjual semua propertinya untuk berkeliling dari kota ke kota dan dari restoran ke restoran untuk menawarkan resepnya. Sebagai mantan koki, dia percaya bahwa resepnya akan diminati banyak restoran dan mau diajak bekerjasama untuk membuka usaha waralaba dengan menggunakan lisensinya. Sayangnya lebih dari 1000 restoran menolak resep yang ditawarkannya, tapi dia tidak pernah menyerah begitu saja dan terus berkeliling sampai tiba di restoran ke 1008 yang mau membelinya dan mengembangkan usaha waralaba yang diberi nama KFC. Saat ini restoran KFC menjadi salah satu waralaba yang paling terkenal dan terdapat di hampir seluruh penjuru dunia. Semua ini berkat kerja keras, keuletan, dan daya juang kolonel Sanders yang pantang menyerah dan tidak kenal lelah.

APAKAH KITA YANG MASIH MUDA BISA MENELADANI SEMANGAT JUANG KAKEK SANDERS???

Until Sunday, March 21, few out of Michigan's rugged 1st Congressional District, which stretches for 1,600 miles (2,575 km) along the Great Lakes, had ever heard of Bart Stupak. But as the clock ran out on health care reform, all eyes were on the Democratic Congressman. "How does it feel to keep the whole world waiting?" a reporter joked to laughter as Stupak entered a packed television studio on the third floor of the House of Representatives, hours before the expected vote on health care reform, to announce his decision. Flanked by six other pro-life Dems, Stupak finally brought an end to the suspense: he and his group would vote for health care reform, throwing Democrats over the 216 threshold of votes needed to pass the bill. (See why Bart Stupak opposed the health care legislation.)

The victory was not easily wrought. This was Stupak's third scheduled press conference in two days; the other two were abruptly canceled. On Sunday morning Democratic leadership sources leaked to reporters that there was a deal, rumors Stupak quickly quashed, saying he was still looking at the language of an Executive Order negotiated with White House Counsel Bob Bauer. It was not till 4 p.m. that he spoke to the press about the deal. "In the end, like the [Catholic] bishops, I wish that we could have had statutory language," Stupak said. "But we only have 44 votes in the Senate and I recognize that we just couldn't get something through. The Executive Order is better than nothing and I have every assurance it will stand." After the bill passed, Republicans tried to challenge it by bringing up Stupak's own arguments against it. Democrats responded dramatically by bringing up Stupak himself to defend the passage of the law. At one point, as he argued for the new health care legislation, a member of the House shouted out, "Baby killer." (See Amy Sullivan on the White House Executive Order that won Stupak over.)

Critics of the deal say that an Executive Order can be rescinded at any time at the pleasure of the President or by an act of Congress. Stupak, though, said that the leaders were close to reaching 216 without him and he felt this was the best deal his group could get. "I will continue in the future to push for statutory language," he said, adding that he has been assured by the White House and Democratic leaders that they will not challenge the order. (See the 10 key players in health care reform.)

Abortion has been one of Stupak's chief issues in public office: he is a leader of the group Democrats for Life. A former Eagle Scout, Stupak's Catholic faith has always been important to him. His religiosity only deepened after his son, Bart Jr., committed suicide in May 2000, which the family blamed on Accutane, an acne medication. Until recently he lived in the infamous C Street House, a group lodging for young and upcoming religious conservative members of the House and Senators run by a Christian organization (other alums include Larry Craig, John Ensign and Mark Sanford).

Stupak nearly brought down the House version on the bill last November when he objected to the abortion language in the legislation. At the last minute, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed to an amendment authored by Stupak that barred any federal funds from subsidizing abortion on the health care exchange that is expected to be set up in 2014 to provide insurance to upwards of 31 million uninsured Americans. Prochoice groups were outraged, accusing Stupak of moving beyond current law, and the amendment was stripped out in the Senate and replaced with softer language that Stupak and his group felt did not go far enough. Sunday's last-minute Executive Order, expected to be signed by President Obama immediately following passage of the bill, was the compromise that allowed Stupak and his group to vote for final passage of health care reform.

House Democratic sources credited Representative John Dingell, the longest serving member in the history of Congress and dean of the Michigan delegation, for bringing Stupak around. Stupak, a Dingell protégé, was in tears when Dingell lost his House Energy and Commerce gavel to Henry Waxman last year — the committee is the only one Stupak has served on since his election to Congress in 1992. Health care reform has been Dingell's top priority during his 54 years in office and, in fact, the House bill was named for him. "Mr. Dingell had a piece of me yesterday for quite some time," Stupak told reporters Sunday to laughter. "John Dingell is one of my nearest, dearest, closest friends. I'm glad for John Dingell to have this day."

Breakfast time at the Ubud Market. I am on a mission to find my favourite food to break the fast of a contented sleep. I enter at the corner of Monkey Forest Road and Jalan Raya, past a row of sellers dressed in faded sarongs and kebayas, selling pink and green cakes, soft blue hydrangeas, coconut leaves, green bananas and vegetables of all descriptions.

As I jalan-jalan round the corner, squeezing my way past one hundred Ubud mums doing their early morning shopping, I find what I am looking for: mission accomplished and there is my breakfast. Ahead of me, shaded from the hot morning sun, is the bubur seller serving my favourite market treat, bubur. Bubur is soft-boiled rice that is cooked or topped with assorted seasonings and in this case, it is a savoury dish. I am crazy about it.

The bubur seller sits snugly between a community of grandmas at low tables that are set up for the morning’s take-away trade. These are Ubud’s D.I.Y. walking food vendors – meals on legs, not wheels, if you know what I mean. Every morning, these diligent grandmas carry cooked rice and assorted seasonings on their heads to the market. Have you seen them? They walk from home, set-up shop and when all is sold, carry the empty pots and pans back to their abode with a somewhat lighter load than when they arrived.

In the crowded western wing of the market, you can buy sweet or savoury rice porridge, bubur, and nasi campur from these four grandmas who have been selling take-away rice for as long as I, or anyone in Ubud for that matter, can remember. But it is more than that. This cosy little corner provides an exciting local gathering of sorts, for it is here you can catch up on all the village gossip in a matter of minutes. You can find out about almost anything, told in the most animated, exaggerated way while buying much-needed provisions for the family. That is what I call one-stop shopping!

A bowl of bubur will keep your engines purring until the sun passes the midday mark and I can think of no better way to kick-start your day. Bubur is one of the most loving fill-me-ups and will have you humming dreamily until the sun goes down. What also makes the market bubur so seductive, (well, to me anyway) is the flavour of fresh coconut oil and fried shrimp paste. It adds a mellow, luscious base note that gives it a certain depth, rather like smooth jazz.

Home cooking is something I am passionate about and bubur is home food par excellence. It’s relaxed, authentic and unpretentious. And it’s more than that. As Nigella Lawson says, as she seductively stirs a pot of glossy chocolate sauce looking longingly into the camera “cooking should reflect your personality, not your aspirations.” (Yes I know she is on the expansive side these days). Bubur reflects the simple side of us all, the shielded heart that keeps us loving and laughing. Of course, chocolate might mend a broken heart but bubur will have you patched up and ready for action, full speed ahead!

Whenever I am not well or low on energy my staff makes me a gentle porridge simmered with lemongrass, salam leaves, a sliver of fresh turmeric and greens. The result is a golden, creamy mix of home-cooked sustenance. Bubur is the food of nourishment.

There are many types of bubur in Bali. You can choose from sweet to savoury. I am sure you are familiar with bubur injin (black rice pudding), but there are also bubur ayam (chicken porridge), bubur sago (sago porridge) and many others. In cooking bubur the rules are few. It is simply a matter of simmering and stirring. If that sounds too hard, you could sip on a glass of chilled Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, (if you can find a good one on the island) or chat on the mobile phone, as you leisurely cook up a brew of soft rice. Of course, you can always get your children to cook it, it’s that easy. And if it makes you feel better, think of it as risotto and dream of ‘Under a Tuscan Sun’. (Did you hear about the novel “Too Much Tuscan Sun” written by an Italian author?).

And don’t you love how certain foods take you down memory lane, for better or worse? Eating bubur kacang hijau or mung bean porridge always takes me back to the premature birth of my son, Krishna, in a hospital in Denpasar. I can see it all so clearly, even now sixteen years later. My sparse hospital room overlooked a small road that was teeming with traffic and kaki-lima food sellers, morning until night. Those were the days before swanky clinics and doctors driving BMW’s.

Beneath the window of my room sat a row of people of all ages: the families caring for their loved ones who were staying in the hospital. It was like spending time in some sort of forlorn detention centre. Krishna was no bigger than a small rabbit and his tiny pink ears were curled in like the petals of a closed hibiscus. He slept in a small cot near my bed but we were advised not to handle him too much. He was just too small. How things change.

Everyday, for morning tea, we were given a small bowl of green-tea coloured Bubur Kacang Hijau. Soothing and nutritious, it gave me great comfort at a time when I needed to replenish my strength for my tiny son and me. I loved it and cursed it in one breathe because the mung beans irritated my throat and made me cough. That was the part that hurt but that was what I needed.

Beside the bubur seller at the Ubud market, sit the sticky-rice and nasi campur sellers. Apart from their food, I love the distinguishing feature of the towels on their heads. Perched like turbans, these coils of well-worn cloth have seen better days. They range in faded pastel shades and patterns, in an oddly co-ordinated way. But I digress.

If you feel like something sweet, you can dine on sticky rice, flecked with pumpkin and topped with grated coconut. And then there is the ubiquitous nasi campur. At the market, it usually consists of steamed vegetables with roasted coconut, tempe, ground salted fish and sambal. The meals are all carefully wrapped in banana leaves, or brown paper, to be eaten for breakfast, lunch or as a shared snack amongst friends.

Nasi Campur, which happens to be my favourite for lunch and dinner, is Bali’s national dish and varies in all shapes and sizes around the island. Ubud, too, has its own distinct style. I have been told that visitors from the ragged coast of Southern Bali trek to Ubud to enjoy the simple pleasure of this beloved favourite. And at Indus our nasi campur includes snake beans in coconut milk, grilled chicken tossed with tomato sambal, Balinese satay, tofu, sambal and steamed rice, with green papaya broth served on the side. It is one of our most popular dishes. Enak banget!
So next time you feel like an authentic Bali experience, head to the Ubud Market, put on your brave shoes and dig into a local rice dish with gay abandon. Otherwise, ingest the spirit of a local eating house and as they say, value the difference!

Kemarin, aku dan teman-teman jalan-jalan ke Kota Toea... Kita janji ketemuan di Stasiun Pondok Cina. Setelah kami semua berkumpul, kami segera membeli tiket Kereta Ekonomi AC. Sekitar lima belas menit menunggu, akhirnya, keretanya datang. Kami segera naik dan berdiri, karena tidak ada tempat duduk yang kosong.. Perjalanan dari Pondok Cina ke Jakarta Kota hampir satu jam. Selama di kereta, kami berbincang, bercanda, dan berfoto-foto dengan handphoneku.

Setibanya di kota tua, apa yang terjadi? Seluruh museum TUTUP!! Huh, cukup kecewa juga sih, tapi kami tetap menikmati acara kami. Yang bikin heran, langit cerah banget tapi kok hujang turun ya??? Aneh banget, deh.. Kami berteduh dulu hingga hujan reda dan benar-benar berhenti. Setelah itu, kami berfoto-foto dan mencari tempat makan.. Kami makan siang di stand mie dan sate ayam....

Selesai makan siang kami melanjutkan jalan-jalan kami ke ASEMKA??? Siapa yang tidak tahu ASEMKA?? Pasti semua orang tau apa itu ASEMKA.. Di Asemka, aku membeli setengah lusin kalung lucu-lucu untuk kemudian saya jual kembali.... Mudah-mudahan aksi jualan saya laku. He he he....

Perjalanan kemarin sangat melelahkan tapi menyenangkan...

Sepasang suami-istri seperti biasanya, melakukan hubungan suami-istri. Sang suami tiap kali melakukan hubungan selalu mematikan lampu kamarnya. Awalnya sang istri tidak mempedulikan alasan suaminya. Namun karena sang istri menjadi makin penasaran, maka pada suatu malam saat

mereka berhubungan, sang istri berniat menyalakan lampu. Ia ingin tau apa maksud suaminya. Maka malam itu merekapun "melakukannya". Lalu sang istri tiba-tiba menyalakan lampu. Betapa kagetnya dia.

Istri : Oh, jadi selama ini kau memakai alat bantu, agar kau tidak ketahuan mandul? Coba jelaskan!
Suami: Kau yang harus menjelaskan. Jadi darimana tiga anak yang ada di rumah ini!?

Message: Buat para cowok yang jomblo dan ditolak
