Cowboys In Paradise

Video Cowboys in Paradise - Indonesia has detained 28 "beach boys" accused of selling sex to female tourists on the island of Bali after a documentary on the resort's "gigolos" hit the Internet, an official said.

"We've rounded up 28 men we suspect might be gigolos. They're young, fit-looking and tanned, mostly surfer beach boys," I Gusti Ngurah Tresna, the chief of security on Bali's main Kuta beach, told AFP.

"We're still questioning them. If we have good reason to suspect they may be involved in shady activities we'll hand them over to the police," he said, adding that the raids were ongoing.

"We're always on the beach so we can guess which beach boy may be taking advantage of foreign women."

The arrests followed the release of a documentary, "Cowboys in Paradise", by Singapore-based writer and director Amit Virmani at a film festival in South Korea last Wednesday.

Segments of the film, which contains candid interviews with "beach boys" and the foreign women who fall for them, have gone viral on the Internet after becoming available on YouTube.

Tresna said the documentary ran counter to the authorities' preferred image of Bali as a world-class destination.

"All this while we've been selling our beautiful waves, sunsets, turtles, culture and nature conservation, and suddenly now we're seen to be selling gigolos? Such films are really harmful to our image," he said.

The official could not explain what charges the "beach boys" could face and admitted it would be hard to prove they were selling sex.

"We apprehended some suspects some time back but we let them off with a stern warning," he said.

"They will approach foreign female tourists, especially Japanese, on the beach, befriend them and the women will pay for their company and food during their stay here. Sex may be involved.

"It's like prostitution which is hard to prove because the foreign women may be willing partners, too."

Astrological Signs

Ramalan Jodoh - one of this year's 35th annual Jacksonville Symphony Guild 2010 Designer Showhouse sponsors, is showcasing two of its newest and most elegant automobiles to visitors of the Showhouse - the 2011 5 Series 550i GT and the X6 ActiveHybrid.

Jodoh - These two innovative and dynamic automobiles complement the beauty and elegance of the 2010 Toll Brothers Designer Showhouse, which is open now through May 9 within Coastal Oaks at Nocatee.

The ActiveHybrid concept of the X6 allows far greater driving dynamics than a conventional hybrid car with significant all-round efficiency by reducing fuel consumption by up to 20 percent.

While the hybrid certainly features a sleek design and impressive style lines typical of the X Series, the 5 Series 550i GT is also quite magnificent. The 550i GT sedan's contemporary yet classic look leaves the young at heart in awe of its ease, blending the Sports Activity Vehicle and the classic Gran Turismo into a single concept.

"The Showhouse gives us the perfect opportunity to promote two of our prestigious luxury automobiles," said Jim Campbell, sales manager at Tom Bush BMW of Jacksonville, located on Atlantic Boulevard near the Regency Mall. "The 550 GT's twin-turbo V-8 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, yet delivers remarkable fuel efficiency in everyday driving. Also, the interior offers more of the elegance you'd expect in a BMW."

Drivers and passengers will both like what they see in these two models. The BMW 550GT radiates a unique blend of sportiness and stylish presence. Typical BMW proportions, four doors with frameless windows, and a coupe-like roofline combine in a harmonious, highly distinctive silhouette that visually represents this vehicle's unusual blend of capabilities. On the other hand, the BMW X6's innovative drivetrain and the unique concept of the Sports Activity Coupe form an ideal match that is unparalleled anywhere in the world. BMW ActiveHybrid technology has, indeed, been developed especially for a particularly dynamic vehicle in this segment and for extensive use far beyond city traffic.

While guests of the Showhouse are able to see these two machines up close and personal, they are also supporting the Jacksonville Symphony Guild to carry out its mission through this annual fundraising event in what can simply be described as a masterpiece by Toll Brothers.

Surrounded by mature live oak trees and designed with Mediterranean influences, Toll Brothers' Marquis has more than 5,000 square feet of living space, featuring five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths and a four-car courtyard garage.

Visitors will experience an amazing sense of arrival as they enter the home's grand two-story foyer, which reveals a beamed, wagon wheel coffered ceiling and dual curved oak staircases. The home's open design is accentuated with arches, columns and numerous special features, such as the impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the family room. The opulent gourmet kitchen has a convenient center island, dark java cabinets, granite countertops and GE Monogram appliances.

The secluded master suite reveals a private master bath with an expansive soaking tub, walk-around shower, Zodiac quartz countertops and brushed nickel Kohler faucets.

The home's outdoor living space is equally spectacular with a pool, spa, fire pit and summer kitchen.

"Many anticipate the announcement of the Showhouse each year. It has consistently proven to be a success for the Guild and, with 35 years of history, I am proud to be part of the tradition it carries," said Teresa Eichner, public relations chair for the event. "Nearly 1,200 people are needed each year and work for more than 18 months in preparation of this event. This year, we will also be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Guild; it's quite a milestone."

Nearly 20 of the area's most respected designers, including design students from the Art Institute of Jacksonville, worked with volunteers for many of those months - providing their expertise to design unique interior spaces within the Toll Brothers' Marquis floor plan.

"This event provides an opportunity for anyone interested in a number of topics," Eichner said. "Not only are we showcasing the two beauties from Tom Bush, but we also have a number of events including our speakers series, Thirsty Thursdays and the designer nights."

"We'd like to thank everyone who participated in this event. From the sponsors, benefactors, designers, volunteers and those who buy tickets to tour the home, we couldn't make it happen without each of them,'' Eichner added. "It takes thousands of hours by dedicated people to make sure this event is a success for The Guild."

Campbell said, "This event truly provides Tom Bush an opportunity for our customers to see the beauty of BMW, while giving us a chance to support a worthy cause locally."

The 2010 Jacksonville Symphony Guild Designer Showhouse is presented by Toll Brothers, Access Public Relations, BMW/Tom Bush BMW, Comcast Spotlight, The Florida Times-Union and Jacksonville.com.

Proceeds from the 2010 Designer Showhouse benefit the Jacksonville Symphony Guild in its support of the Jacksonville Symphony Association, as well as the Guild's music education programs.

Technology and Mobile Phones

Daftar Harga Hp Nokia Terbaru 2010 - Imagine driving somewhere new, you’re lost, unsure of where you are at, and the more you try to find your way out the more confused you get. Do you know how safe the area which you’re in is, is it safe to get out of your car to ask for directions or are you risking being attacked? What if you are threatened or attacked, you have your cell phone, dial 9-1-1, but are unable to tell the operator how to find you. Imagine having an accident, or witnessing an accident, but you are unsure where you are, you call 9-1-1 but are unable to tell them where you are. Imagine becoming ill while in your car, you dial 9-1-1, but become unconscious before you can tell someone where you’re at, how will anyone find you? Imagine being on a hike or bike ride when you suddenly realize you do not know where you are, how will you find your way back safely?

Harga Nokia X5 - The U.S. FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has mandated the E911 (Enhanced 911) which requires that the location of any cell phone used to call 9-1-1 can be determined. This program is divided into two parts; the first requires carriers to report the telephone number of the caller and the location of the antenna that received the call. The second part requires carriers to be able to provide a more precise location. This will require that the manufacturers to install a GPS receiver in all cell phones. The benefit of this not only means that a cell phone can be quickly located, but that cell phones will have the ability to receive driving directions, and to be used as a hand-held GPS out of the car.

There are two ways that a GPS cell phone can be used to get driving directions. The first is to subscribe to a GPS navigation service, which is becoming available but is limited at this time. The second way is through use of a software program. Being able to subscribe to a navigation service has its disadvantages, if you are outside your coverage area your navigation functions won’t work. Plus, not only do you have to purchase a GPS cell phone, you must also pay a set up fee and a monthly fee and be under a 3 month to one year contract.

The second way to get driving directions is to buy a software program, but you need to have a compatible cell phone. The programs and maps are on a memory card and there is no need to pay a monthly fee and since the maps are in the phone you are not dependent on a GPRS connection.

If you want to take your GPS cell phone with you while out of your car, not only are there integrated GPS cell phones, there are GPS add-ons available also.

Another advantage to having a cell phone with GPS technology is that parents know where their children are at any time (as long as they have the phone with them). Some carriers are offering this child location service as a ‘peace of mind’ feature. There is usually a monthly service charge for this service.

The Big Picture

Gambar Gambar Lucu - Eyjafjallajökull (how ever you pronounce) is a volcano located in Iceland, covered by a small glacier with the same name. It’s crater has a diameter of about 3-4 kilometers, and it erupted the second time this month, causing a cloud of ash that forced authorities to stop almost all flights above Iceland.

Gambar Lucu - The problem, when you have such a volcano, is that the ice on top of it melts, causing massive floods, as well as the usual shooting of smoke and gases. Thousands of people were forced to give up their homes and take cover in the face of the floods. Here we’ll present some of the most suggestive photos from the area, taken over a time span of approximately a month.

So what do you guys think? What in the above Picture?? It looks like some kind monster is there. Apart from this picture we also have other updates Iceland Volcano that the National Air Traffic Service (NATs) has advised this afternoon that British airspace over England and Wales will remain closed until 7am tomorrow.

Norwegian PM is using iPad to run his country after Iceland volcano. Also according to sources that Premier League teams forced to travel across Germany by train rather than plane, the Iceland volcano is also effecting European sports.

Meat Free Mondays

Vegetarians Recipes - We mentioned this in yesterday's Day Around the Bay, but its unadulterated attention-whoring is so profound, its own article seems more than necessary. See, inept Supervisor Sophie Maxwell concocted something called Meat Free Mondays, which was unanimously passed by the Board of Supervisors yesterday. This arid resolution will urge restaurants, markets and schools to observe no meat on Mondays.

Vegetarian - In response, SFist will promote meat-based recipes and deals on Mondays. Not because we want to do it, but because we have to do it.

Now, we hardly champion the OMG-bacon-on-everything neanderthals roaming among us, and we've strained our eye muscles more times than we can count at Anthony Bourdain's painful shtick. Quite the contrary, we adore a well-prepared vegan raw meal; however, Meat Free Mondays, comparatively, is unnecessary for San Francisco. Who in this city needs to learn about alternatives to meat? No one, that's who. Absurd. This is like, say, passing a Gay Bar Tuesdays resolution.

"I think San Francisco is a food town. There are a lot of vegetarian restaurants and a lot of things that people can think about," said Maxwell. "Not only bring attention to, but think about the alternatives to meat."

See, even Maxwell agrees that there are plenty of vegetarian options in San Francisco. And she's right. We are a city inundated with superfluous vegetarian choices. We've got farmers markets, hippies, vegans, vegetarian options on almost every menu (or, you'll eat your risotto and you'll like it), and countless well-to-do types espousing the virtues of veggie burritos on the webs. Combine this freshly pushed fecal matter of a resolution with this curious Muni ad ban, and... well, we look forward to a future of delicious cake.

Pedagang Helm Panen

Helm SNI -Matahari sudah mulai condong ke barat. Namun, Heri Susanto masih tetap sibuk melayani pembeli yang menyerbu toko helmnya di sentra aksesori motor, Jalan Otista, Jatinegara, Jakarta Timur. Dengan lihai, dia menjual satu demi satu barang dagangannya yang tertata rapi. Sejak bulan lalu, sebagian besar helm yang dijual Heri sudah berubah dari biasanya. Helm-helm yang dijualnya sudah berlogo Standar Nasional Indonesia atau SNI. Kendati ada yang tidak SNI, itu jumlahnya sangat sedikit.

"Sekarang hampir semua helm yang saya jual berlogo Helm SNI. Hanya sedikit yang tidak berlogo SNI," tutur Heri, Jakarta, Rabu (7/4/2010).

Setelah Polda Metro Jaya memberlakukan wajib helm SNI kepada para pengemudi sepeda motor, dagangannya semakin laris manis. Helm SNI diserbu oleh para pembeli. Jumlah penjualannya juga meningkat setidaknya dua kali lipat dibandingkan sebelumnya. "Kalau biasanya cuma 50 helm per hari, ini bisa 100 helm lebih," ujarnya. Peningkatan penjualan helm terjadi sejak dua bulan belakangan.

Kendati tidak murah, helm berlogo SNI asli ini tetap dicari pembeli. Harga yang ditawarkan bervariasi, mulai Rp 125.000 hingga mencapai Rp 1,75 juta.

Staf Ahli Asosiasi Industri Helm Indonesia (AIHI), Thomas Lim, mengatakan bahwa penjualan helm secara keseluruhan di Indonesia justru mengalami penurunan sejak Desember 2009. "Kira-kira sih penurunannya antara 20 dan 25 persen, dari Desember sampai sekarang belum pulih. Itu untuk total ya, baik SNI maupun non-SNI," kata Thomas.

Menurutnya, surutnya penjualan helm terjadi karena bulan-bulan ini merupakan musim penerimaan siswa baru dan bayar sekolah. Karena keperluan itu, masyarakat memilih untuk tidak membeli helm. "Ini kan musim bayar sekolah, jadi enggak ada dana buat beli helm," tandasnya.
