Istilah globalisasi selalu berubah-ubah sejak tahun sembilan puluhan. Istilah itu baru diketahui pada periode baru yang dimulai dengan ditandai runtuhnya benteng Berlin pada tahun 1989 M dan jatuhnya Uni Soviet, kemudian berakhir setelah aturan ateis berhasil diruntuhkan oleh sistem kapitalis.Pada kajian ini, kita akan membicarakan tiga bidang penting terkait globalisasi, yaitu ekonomi, politik, d

With many homes in the foreclosure process and short sales in abundance, wouldn’t you think banks would be eager to assist home sellers these days? Congress has even tried their hand at legislating cooperation, attempting to help home sellers in distress. Only this time there is no hardship. A lender should be a partner in [...]

Linux attains adulthood minus oneYesterday - October 5 2008, Linux turned 17 years old. That is one year short for attaining adulthood if Linux were a human being. Seventeen years is no mean feat in the life of an operating system. Come to think of it, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, OS/2, all lasted only for a few years before they were superseded by their more mature counterparts

I doubt anyone I know will be in Brooklyn on November 25th, but if anyone is you can see my entry in this year’s T-Minus time-art festival. I was not certain my entry would warrant inclusion. I have to say I was pretty excited to see my name among the list of this year’s entries.

In a genre where artists often struggle for identity, Jon Gaiser is one of those rare producers whose sound is instantly recognisable. The solo projects, collaborations and remixes he’s created over the course of his output on Minus, all contain a very specific signature to the point where his tracks come alive, communicating in a [...]

Minus the Bear - Guns & Ammo Haven’t listened to this band in a long time, but I’m digging this new song…especially at the end when the guitar rhythm gets really sweet.

Never! Never in my lifetime had I been to the first class that started at 10.20 in the morning. I simply hated it.

I could only stomach so much of the Kid's Choice Awards over the weekend. My daughter was ALL into the show, especially Hannah Montana (who is known in my house as Hannah STANKtana because I'm sick of how her little stankin @ss has hypnotized my child's mind that she needs everything that says Hannah Montana). So, yall won't be getting a review of the awards from me- I was over it!!!!! LOL!!!! I did see this photo over at ConcreteLoop. It's Usher and the family- minus the new baby!!!!!! Tameka's boys are too adorable- they must look like they daddy!!!!! I don't see how Tameka was ever a fashion stylist. Her outfits are always OFF and her style of choice is always skinny jeans and a maternity looking shirt!!!! Her boots look hot in this photo but they just aren't working with that shirt.Wor

With the video game industry creating an enormous buzz with the release of Grand Theft Auto 4 this May, 50 Cent is looking to capitalize with his second video game, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. The game will be a follow-up to his 2005 multi-million selling release, Bulletproof, yet the game’s producer claims it will not only be better than the previous offering but that the upcoming game will cover new concepts and storylines. “Blood on the Sand is something more exotic, more Hollywood blockbuster. This game set’s 50’s character against a cabal of international gangsters on a far-flung, bullet-riddled adventure,” Vivendi Games producer Aaron Blean told MTV News. Although Blean will play a major role in the game’s development, he credited 50 Cent’s influence and suggestions to

Logitech MX5000 Cordless Keyboard & Rechargeable Mouse. Keyboards and mice have been around since the earliest days of modern personal computers, and pretty much, their basic design remains the same. Admittedly, there’s really nothing wrong with the way they look and work, so why innovate, right? It might seem as such, but in reality, the applications we use today have evolved, bringing about a noticeable increase in complexity. So when a company like Logitech tries to innovate upon the basic designs of keyboards and mice in such a way that they augment our ability to use modern applications, we can’t help but smile. The Logitech MX500 Cordless Keyboard & Rechargeable Mouse comes as one of their latest products, and if previous models are an indication, then it’s safe to say

Done for today. Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Dressing, and  Cranberry Sauce done; green beans blanched and cashews toasted; giant turkey rinsed, and put in a bag full of salt water in a cooler full of ice until tomorrow morning; one pie done, one pie in the oven. I am a lady of leisure (relatively speaking) until 10:00 tomorrow morning when its time to rinse the salt off the turkey, drive it to my parents house, massage it lovingly with herb butter and set it to roasting until dinner time. My mother talked me out of starting the bird breast-side-down and going back to their house 2/3 of the way through cooking to turn it over on the basis that it would be, and I quote “excessive and insane.” She’s got my number, alright…. My mantra: “it doesn’t have to be perfect, and you can fix most things” repeated endlessly. If there are too many lumps in the mashed potatoes on reconsideration, I’ll just heat them up, mash some more, and serve t

Well, the mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and dressing are all done, decanted into foil pans and refrigerated, I have cut up the veggies for the turkey pan and made some compound butter to rub into him, and I have trimmed 3 pounds of green beans. I have also collected the turkey, which is HUGE, but I have figured out that it will fit in the fridge. I am sweaty and less than adorable at this point, but I still need to blanch the beans, toast the cashews and get the turkey brining before I take a shower and a nap. I’m debating on whether to make the pies today or tomorrow morning; they’d be fresher if I baked them tomorrow, but the flavors might meld better if they are baked today. I am having waves of self-doubt; I believe that the dressing is bland and has too much bread, the mashed potatoes are too lumpy, and that I didn’t make enough cranberry sauce. Must. keep. moving.

Amy looked horrible traveling in Germany. She looks like the type of person you would see on the street begging for money, screaming absurdities, without any clue what she is saying.

Please clean yourself up Amy!
