River Gym
by. Dolvin ≈ October 23, 2008
This is interesting idea.. to build an gym in New York above the sea.. hmmm..
River Gym in New York
Human-Powered Gymnasium that dances on the waves and is powered by your sweat and your abs-crunching and muscle flexing energy- that is pretty much the concept that is going to drive this gym on waves. Designed with both amazing style and plenty of imagination, this futuristic gym might be our first step to one day shifting our lives from land to water and doing that completely. One can only imagine the kind of creative input that was needed to come up with this startling concept and ‘water world’ might not be that far away now.

By continuing to provide vital health amenities, the River Gym can leave the realm of the glass box and become a useful multi-planar kinetic space. Envision your gym becoming a machine of human propulsion that helps purify water, provide spectacular views, and transport less-motivated citizens. Moreover the latest gym does not just have a television set to stare at or the same old boring music in loop.

The floating gym actually gives you an ever changing view of the tranquil waves and nature’s beautiful panorama. That surely should push more people to hit the gym. Transforming loads of energy that is being wasted since decades in a gym for something meaningful is indeed a wonderful new idea presented by Mitchell Joachim & Douglas Joachim. ^^

Kesaran Pasaran
by. Dolvin ≈ October 18, 2008
Few days ago, I saw this cute phone straps in kaskus.. and I just wondering what is Kesaran Pasaran? It says.. Kesaran Pasaran is a Mysterious Fluffy Thing of a white fairy or angel's feather that can bring you good luck.. hmmm... 

so, in this saturday duty.. I do search about this thing huehehehe...
(btw, why.. this room is so cold? brrrr..)

And this is information 'bout it that I got from wiki.. hohoho...

Kesaran PasaranAlthough it appears at first like a small white fuzzball, Kesaran Pasaran is an extremely useful and lucky yōkai to whomever encounters it. Unknown in its origin (though one legend suggests it as a gift from angels), Kesaran Pasaran is notable for bringing good luck and happiness to anyone who encounters it. More intriguingly, the amount of the small fuzzballs can quickly multiply if kept within the vicinity of face powder for a period of time: the more Kesaran Pasaran, the more good luck! The yōkai is initially encountered by Miki during a Christmas party, who initially uses its luck abilities and its multiplication trick to grant all her desires, but ultimately ends up saving her friends and giving a happy holiday to the entire town in the process. Later on, the Kesaran Pasaran are revealed to be the "yōkai of ultimate good", saving both the town of Dōmori, and ultimately the world, from the unleashed power of the ultimate evil yōkai: Yamato no Orochi!

Top 10 Amazing Earth Facts
by. Dolvin ≈ October 11, 2008
As well known and well traveled as our planet is, there are still new things being discovered every day. In fact, most of our oceans haven’t even been explored yet which is why when new depths are located; they often come with hundreds of new species. Rain forests offer up new animals and plants as often as we can explore them. The Earth is constantly changing, shifting, and exposing new secrets for humans to marvel at. It took many years and many great minds to solve the problem of getting through Earth’s atmosphere into the wide expanse of space beyond. Here are ten amazing facts about our home that you may not be aware of.

10. The Atmosphere
The Atmosphere
Many layers of atmosphere coat our planet including the mesosphere, ionosphere, exosphere, and the thermosphere, but it’s the troposphere, closest to the planet itself, that supports our lives and is, in fact, the thinnest at only about 10 miles high.

9. Deserts
Deserts
Believe it or not, most of the Earth’s deserts are not composed entirely of sand. Much, about 85% of them, are rocks and gravel. The largest, the Sahara, fills about 1/3 of Africa (and it is growing constantly) which would nearly fill the continental United States.

8. The Big Blue Marble
The Big Blue Marble
The Earth is, in fact, not really round. It is called an oblate spheroid meaning it’s slightly flattened on the top and bottom poles.

7. Salty Oceans
Salty Ocean
If you could evaporate all the water out of all the oceans and spread the resulting salt over all the land on Earth, you would have a five hundred-foot layer coating everything.

6. Lakes and Seas
Lakes and Seas
The largest inland sea (or, sometimes called a lake) is the Caspian Sea which is on the border of Iran and Russia.

5. Mountains
Mountains
The Andes Mountain range in South America is 4,525 miles long and ranks, as the world’s longest. Second Longest: The Rockies; Third: Himalayas; Fourth: The Great Dividing Range in Australia; Fifth: Trans-Antarctic Mountains. For every 980 feet you climb up a mountain, the temperature drops 3-1/2 degrees.

4. Deep Water
Deep Water
The deepest lake in the world is in the former USSR and it is Lake Baikal. It has a length of 400 miles, a width of roughly 30, but its depth is just over a mile: 5,371 feet down. It is deep enough, so is speculated, that all five of the next largest lakes: The Great Lakes could be emptied into it.

3. Shaky Ground
Shaky Ground
Earthquakes can be catastrophically destructive and many a year are deadly. However, the Earth releases about 1 million a year, almost all are never even registered.

2. Hot, Hot, Hot
Hot.. Hot.. Hot..
Most people believe that Death Valley, California, U.S.A. is the hottest place on Earth. Well, occasionally it is, but the hottest recorded temperature was from Azizia in Libya recording a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit (57.8 Celsius) on Sept. 13, 1922. In Death Valley, it got up to 134 Fahrenheit on July 10, 1913.

1. Dust in the Wind
Space Dust
Experts from the USGS claim that roughly 1,000 tons of space debris rains down on Earth every year.

God is My Shepherd
by. Dolvin ≈ October 5, 2008
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." (TUHAN adalah gembalaku, takkan kekurangan aku.) - Mazmur 23:1

Today Hymn of the week at my church is.. "God is my shepherd"..

Psalms 23

1 A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need.

2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

3 He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

4 Even when I walk through the dark valley of death,* I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.1

5 You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.

Here is the song in Bahasa..

Tuhan adalah Gembalaku

Tuhan adalah gembalaku, takkan kekurangan aku
Ia membaringkan aku, di padang yang berumput hijau

Ia membimbingku, ke air yang tenang
Ia menyegarkan jiwaku
Ia menuntunku ke jalan yang benar
Oleh karna namaNya
Sekalipun aku berjalan dalam lembah kekelaman
