The Help Based on a novel by Kathryn Stockett, screenwriter and director Tate Taylor creates an extremely powerful movie, concerned with racial prejudice in America’s Deep South during the 1960s. Emma Stone stars, as a young woman who returns home after graduating from College. This white woman has aspirations of becoming a writer, and, appalled by the social conditions of her town’s Black-American servants, she conspires with ‘The Help’ to write an exposé about their working circumstances, and the aimless lives of the Southern Belles for whom they toil. On publication, the book proves to be quite scandalous. Tate Taylor’s movie, at times, veers very close towards sentimentality, yet, this sugariness only coats a very bitter pill. Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer are superb as two of ‘The Help’, while, Bryce Dallas Howard, in the difficult role of a highly-strung bitch, is equally outstanding.

Apollo 18 A team of American astronauts are undertaking a top secret mission to the Moon. On arriving there, they are to find an abandoned Russian spaceship, and, in a deep meteor crater, a dead Russian Cosmonaut. This is to present a great mystery to the astronauts, but, not to those back in charge in Houston. Director Gonzalo Lopez Gallego combines real footage of lunar landings together with lunar sequences of his own design, to create a very believable verisimilitude in his movie. However, this is a really excellent horror movie, in which, quite possibly, your very worst nightmares might just come true.

Abduction Taylor Lautner stars in this action movie. You might remember him as the sexy werewolf contracted to remove his shirt whenever possible in the turgid ‘Twilight’ series.

Anyway, in this movie, Taylor only removes his shirt twice, and, he plays a high-school student who discovers, while working on a school internet project about missing children, that he himself is posted on one of these cyber sites. Of course, he immediately starts to wonder who the people are who are calling themselves his parents, and, before you know it, all sorts of Top Secret Intelligence Agencies are trying to track him down. Director John Singleton makes a movie which is actually quite a lot of fun.

Womb Located on an isolated beach, and set slightly into the future, this European funded British film tells an intriguing story.

Following his accidental death, a woman clones her dead lover and gives birth to a son. Writer and director Benedek Fliegauf’s movie is very slowly paced, but, this allows for plenty of time to contemplate the full ramifications of his narrative concerning incest.

One Day During the mid 1980s, an English couple meet at their university graduation ceremony, and, every couple of years or so, this movie drops in to see how their relationship is progressing. It is always on July the 15th, and this will eventually have significant meaning. There is much chat in this movie, but, being British, the chat is terribly amusing and witty. However, do not let the humor fool you. Director Lone Scherfig’s romantic movie carries a powerful punch.

Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway star. Miss Hathaway is iridescent.

Rampart Set in Los Angeles in the late 1990s, Woody Harrelson is just brilliant as a corrupt LAPD cop. Hauled up on charges of ‘police brutality’, a tenacious Deputy District Attorney also wants to pin charges of murder on him, as she suspects the cop maliciously killed a serial rapist when he couldn’t make the case stick. This gritty movie is excellently directed by Oren Moverman, as he follows the cop through his daily ‘beat’, and on into his private nightlife.

Diary

Immortals Okay, there is this power mad ancient Greek King who wants to get his hands on the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable force, forged in the Heavens by the god Ares. Whoever possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, and rain destruction on mankind. All that is stopping the King is a brave and heroic young man of high principles.

Much time, money, and effort has been spent by director Tarsem Singh to bring this saga to life, even so, there still seems to be a slight school boy school book quality to it.

Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, and Stephen Dorff star. The special effects are great.

Sarah’s Key In June of this year, French director Rose Bosch released her stunning movie, ‘La Rafle’, which depicted the betrayal of the French Jews by the puppet French government, during the occupation of Paris by the German Army in the Second World War. Now, French director Gilles Paquet-Brenner presents his interpretation of this harrowing Holocaust story. This movie moves backwards and forwards in time, as a present day journalist endeavors to write an article about this shameful moment in French history. Gilles Paquet-Brenner’s movie is as equally powerful as Rose Bosch’s film, however, it is probably a bit too soon to go down this distressing path again.

The Hangover, 2 In the original ‘Hangover’ the boys got totally wasted at a Bachelor’s Party in Las Vegas, and almost missed an important wedding in Los Angeles. This time around the boys get totally wasted at a Bachelor’s Party in Bangkok, and almost miss an important wedding in Phuket. Same story, different city.

Australia and Bali...

by Rebecca Boteler Australian tourists continue to arrive in Bali in record numbers. At face value, the relationship between Indonesians and Australians seems fairly solid. But could a number of recent incidents and tensions simmering under the surface pose a potential threat to the relationship?

Because of his status as a high profile sportsman who is well loved in Australia, the story has been given a lot of prominence in the Australian media; it hasn’t painted a positive picture of Bali.

Also in the media recently has been the story of the Australian woman whose drink was spiked in Lombok with something so lethal she ended up in a coma and had to be airlifted to a hospital in Australia. Ross Taylor says media reports of these types of incidents can stick in the back of people’s minds, undermining trust. But he says that’s not all that’s going on.

“Not only has Bali’s reputation been badly shaken by these recent high-profile cases, a look at some of the ‘behind the scenes’ challenges that are now facing Bali, provides even more disturbing news,” says Mr Taylor.

He says one of the most worrying statistics is that crime against tourists in Bali is up 214%. The reporting of these types of figures have the potential to damage the relationship even further, perhaps giving Australians the idea that they’re being targeted by the locals. This has the potential to affect Australians’ perception of Bali as a safe destination and the Balinese people as honest and hardworking.

Australians have long had a love affair with Bali....and the latest figures reveal the romance is flourishing. There’s been a 25% increase in the number of Australians visiting Bali in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. Figures show 348,489 Australians packed their bags and headed for the island in that time.....making Australians Bali’s most ardent admirers (followed by China and America).

The figures have been welcomed by the Balinese authorities, with the head of the Bali Central Statistics Agency I Gede Suarsa boasting to the local papers that many Australians ‘see Bali as a second home’.

While this may be the case, the relationship between the two places seems to be going through a bit of a rocky patch, with a number of unrelated events threatening to undermine it.

Firstly, there’s the well publicised jailing of a 14 year old Australian boy for allegedly buying marijuana on the street in Kuta. The boy was initially thrown into an adult prison, which had the Australian public up in arms. The boy’s jailing apparently so incensed some Australians they cancelled their trips to Bali. Others demanded their government take action to remedy the situation. Politicians in Australia were very vocal about the situation, despite it being pointed out that up to 50 Indonesian children were languishing in Australian jails after being arrested for people smuggling. In contrast to Australia’s outcry, the Indonesian public and government kept relatively quiet about this. Ross Taylor from the Australian-based Indonesia Institute says the difference in reactions reflects a difference in cultures.

But while the string of recent incidents may have grabbed the headlines, there’s a trend of a different kind that has been undermining the relationship for a while; the small number of Australians who use a holiday in Bali as an excuse to leave their manners at home. Unfortunately, many Australians have earned the reputation of being loud, aggressive and disrespectful to the local people, and it’s affecting not only the way they’re seen by the Balinese, but by other cultures as well. Ross Taylor says some people see Bali simply as a place they can let loose.

The impact Australians are having in Bali is not going unnoticed. It’s just that the Balinese don’t make a big fuss about it because, well, they need Australians, and their tourist dollars. Bali’s tourism industry generates an estimated $US3.5 billion a year. Given Australians make up almost 27 percent of international visitors, it could be argued they’re keeping the tourism industry afloat.

“The Balinese know that Australia is to Bali what China is to Australia,” says Ross Taylor from the Indonesia Institute.

“Aussies bring huge money into the Balinese economy and that creates jobs and wealth.”

While there may be an underlying resentment of the way they’re treated, it’s not part of the Balinese culture to voice their complaints. In fact the Balinese will go to great lengths to avoid confrontation, even in the face of rudeness and abuse.

Unfortunately, other cultures can misinterpret this easy going nature as a sign of subservience.

“The fact that the Balinese are very polite people who rarely will complain, doesn’t mean that they are not offended by such behaviours,” says Ross Taylor.

Professor Jon Stratton from Curtin University in Western Australia says it’s an unfortunate mentality. He says that when they go abroad, Australians often seem to forget that other cultures have their own standards of behaviour, or else they don’t want to be bothered to learn what those standards are and respect them.

“To some extent this can be simple racism; but it is also laziness, a ‘we’re only here for two weeks and we’ll never see these people again and we just want to have a good time’ way of thinking,” he says.

“Anyone who knows Asia well, and in particular Indonesia, understands that Indonesia would not act as we would by demanding the release of their children immediately.”

Mr Taylor says making demands at a government level would be seen as being rude; particularly as Asian countries are very respectful and cognisant of the rights of host countries to apply their laws to nationals and foreigners alike.

“This did not mean however, that Indonesia was happy with Australia locking-up Indonesian children in our maximum security adult prisons, quite to the contrary,” he says.

At a population level, there are also several incidents causing some tension between Bali and Australia. One is a recent brawl between a high profile former Australian football player and some Balinese nightclub staff, which has led to a lot of finger pointing over who started it. The Balinese police have told the local papers footballer Dean Laidley’s group initiated the brawl, while the Australians claim it was unprovoked attack.

“Bali is a pleasure periphery for Australians; a place where they feel they can just do what they like and won’t pay any consequences--and what they do won’t reach their parents, partner or workmates back home.”

“Unfortunately some people, and in particular school leavers, see Bali as a place where they can go ‘wild’; get drunk, take drugs and generally carry-on in a loud and belligerent manner,” says Mr Taylor.

“This inaction against the treatment of Indonesian children here in Australia was seen by our authorities as Indonesia’s indifference to their plight. Big mistake,” says Mr Taylor.

Adding tension to the relationship between Australia and Indonesia is the recent US announcement that it’s establishing a military base in the Australian city of Darwin, just 850 kilometres from Indonesia. Despite assurances from both Australia and the US that the military presence is not a threat to Indonesia, the move has certainly caused some uneasiness in the region. And while this tension is between governments, the seed of mistrust has the potential to filter down into the psyches of the public in both countries.

wouldn’t at home,” says Professor Stratton.

A night out in Kuta can become an exercise in witnessing Australians behaving badly. Aussies can be seen brawling in nightclubs, urinating in the streets, being aggressive to the Balinese people and generally trampling all over the Balinese culture. To be fair, Australians are not the only ones who forget to pack their manners when they go on holiday. A trip to Ibiza will give you front row tickets to Britons behaving badly, while anyone who’s been to Mexico will tell you that some Americans aren’t exactly on their best behaviour there, either. In fact, the phenomenon of travellers generally acting like untamed animals is so common, it actually has a name.

“People who study tourist behaviour have developed the idea of the ‘pleasure periphery’ which refers to the places to which holidaymakers travel which is far enough away from home psychologically for them to be able to behave in ways they

And while tourism can have its benefits in raising the living standards of the local population, it can also have some downsides. For one, Bali is groaning under the weight of an ever growing population with seemingly little forward planning for infrastructure. A recent article in ‘Time’ magazine went so far as to dub it a potential ‘holiday from hell’ citing its overcrowded roads, sewerage problems and waste management issues. And who’s to blame for all this?

Australians, if a recent article in the Jakarta Post is to be believed. According to the article, Australians are the ones clogging up the roads, using all the water and littering the streets and beaches. While this may be drawing a long bow, could it be an indication of the previously good relationship between the Balinese and Australians heading for the rocks?

The somewhat poor understanding between the two populations has not gone unnoticed by the governments of each country. On a visit to Australia in March 2010, Indonesian President Yudhoyono described the relationship at a people to people level as ‘lagging’. In a bid to address the situation, the President announced the formation of the IndonesiaAustralia Dialogue. The summit, held in October this year, brought together 20 leading Australians and Indonesians from a wide range of backgrounds. The group held a number of discussions in a bid to foster a closer understanding of each other. And while it’s probably too early to tell whether the talkfest actually achieved anything, surely it couldn’t have hurt.

Ross Taylor suggests we all have our part to play in breathing new life into the relationship. By respecting the Balinese culture, learning the language and getting involved in community activities, tourists and expats can help to ensure the relationship not only survives, but improves. And, like any relationship, a bit of communication and understanding goes a long way.

Question: I am an Indonesian lady married to a Westerner.

We are newly married, but already I find that my husband has changed 100%. He has turned into a stranger who treats me as if I am not his wife. He does things without me, keeps secrets, and does whatever he likes, never thinking of me.

I am an independent woman. I work and spend my money on family because I love my family. Since I have been married, I have never asked my husband for anything.

Instead, I want him to concentrate on his business for his future life and hopefully our future. When I ask him what is going on for him, he says I am too nice a person for him, that I have never done anything wrong, that he doesn’t want to keep hurting me, and that he is scared he cannot give me the love I deserve. He is confused about living in Bali. Even though he has been here for 10+ years, it no longer seems to be working for him – especially his business. His reason for treating me like rubbish is that his staff is not doing a good job, and the business is suffering.

I told him that he should talk to me about the problems with his business because I am his wife, and we should be able to talk about everything. That is why we decided to get married. But it seems as if he is too desperate and doesn’t want to fix the problem. He simply enjoys ignoring me.

I suggested going to counseling, but he refused. For 5 months now he has been ignoring me. I am confused about what he wants from me, and every time I ask, he says he doesn’t know. Do you think it’s right for a man to have problems and to think it is fine to just kick his wife out of his life? Please give me advice because I am tired of being treated like this. I never did anything wrong. I always give him space to think, but nothing changes. I want my husband back!

Dr. ZZ: Many Western men who visit Southeast Asia and end up marrying local women come from a background of being unsuccessful at relationships in their home country.

Men who are awkward, socially invisible, and lacking in interactive experience at home find that in Third World nations they become “hot commodities.” It’s like becoming famous overnight. Receiving the kind of attention they do from lovely ladies who are far superior in looks and personality from those who pay them little attention back home can feel like a dream come true. Therefore, they go about reconfiguring their lives and moving to either retire or to do business in the foreign land.

Sometimes they marry a local woman as a route to securing citizenship and/or the necessary business documents. Due to the language barrier, it is easy for them to avoid explaining themselves at first. Communication skills that are necessary for maintaining relationship are

nonexistent when the people involved are getting by on a vocabulary of 150 words. Body language takes precedence; sex substitutes for dialog; and the man can feel as if he just hit the jackpot. All his basic wants and needs are being met with little apparent demand in return.

Meanwhile, the woman has her own element of responsibility in these involvements. The Westerner is generally regarded as a “good catch,” and she overlooks his other less desirable traits. The woman figures that in time she will improve her English-speaking skills, and all other apparent awkwardness will disappear. But it doesn’t happen that way. The problems become only more obvious after the man is established in the culture, and her citizenship has served its purpose.

See if this makes sense: If you put two people in a room with no common language and no communication skills, and if the two people want to communicate, they will.

Likewise, if you put two people in a room with the same language and all the necessary communication skills, and if they don’t want to communicate, they won’t.

Something about your husband does not want to communicate; he may not know how. Thus, he shuts down, puts up a barrier, points the finger of blame and accusation at you, and fails to examine himself for character defects that only he can change. Yes, he would probably benefit from counseling. And no, I do not think is it healthy for someone to go through life pushing others away as a coping mechanism. Although you can take the man away from his childhood problems, you cannot take childhood problems away from the man -- unless he is willing to do the work of making that so. “Wherever he goes, there he is.” He and he alone has to do the deep inner housecleaning. You, my dear, cannot change the spots on this leopard.

C/Ns/I-16 Nov 11

Right now, the relationship is like a 4-legged table with two wobbly legs. This puts a lot of undo pressure on you.

Whatever you do, do NOT make the mistake of thinking that having babies will solve anything. It will only make matters worse as your husband will resent you more.

Handle this on your own, and either enjoy the relationship on the relationship’s terms, or get out. Whether you choose to stay in the relationship or to extract yourself, I don’t foresee the situation changing unless and until your husband decides to change. Given the circumstances, that is unlikely. Thus, my advice to you is to get individual counseling for yourself, and to take care of you. Life is too short. Strive to be happy.

A Living Tree for Christmas

Now that Christmas is close by I have been thinking a lot about Christmas trees. These days many people opt out for the easy option, a plastic Christmas tree. Live Christmas trees on the other hand have a charm that is missing from the mass produced artificial ones, as well being good for the environment. They are also a better alternative to the ones that are chopped down from plantations and used for just a few weeks over Christmas before being thrown out. When people think of living Christmas trees they often think about small, potted evergreens. The Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) is a great choice for having a live Christmas Tree. This is one of the few conifers that is able to adapt to the indoors and it can also tolerate relatively low light levels. They make for an ideal indoor Christmas tree when small and potted.

You can turn it into a house plant after Christmas and then re-use at Christmas time next year, that way you really will have a living, growing, constantly changing Christmas tree, as opposed to a stagnant dreary plastic thing that looks worse as it gets older. Try one out this Christmas and you will see how quickly it will become an important part of your home. The sparsely branched pyramid symmetry of the plant is beautiful, as well as the flowing texture of the foliage. Its long, horizontal branches are densely covered with short, soft needles that become darker as the plant ages. It is also popular as a bonsai.

Its native environment is subtropical so they could never handle being snowed upon as they are cold sensitive, suffering visibly as temperatures even begin to approach freezing. Preferably you should place your tree in front of a large window. There is no substitute for bright, natural light. A bit of humidity helps too, as they don’t like dry conditions. Who does? Too little water and the lower branches will wilt and the needles will yellow. If indoors turn your Norfolk Pine frequently to keep it symmetrical. It requires minimal care, and it grows slowly meaning it will remain small and attractive for many years if indoors. And even if you don’t want one as a Christmas tree they still make for an attractive houseplant.

Interestingly the Norfolk Pine is not a true pine, it just looks like one. It is a member of the ancient Araucariaceae family. These pines, as the name suggests are native to Norfolk Island, a small island in the Pacific off the coast of eastern Australia. Originating in a coastal environment, salty air is not a problem for this tree.

If planted in the garden they can grow fast, though it will maintain a modest size when grown in a container. Norfolk Pines are very popular because they are very easy to grow. They make good indoor container plants when grown in bright light and humid conditions. If you decide to decorate it and use your Norfolk Pine as a living Christmas tree, the soil should be kept moist as electric lights have an extreme drying effect on the plants. Be sure to mist your tree daily, or provide other sources of additional moisture. Also don’t leave the decorations on any longer than is necessary to prevent damage to the needles or branches. Smaller ornaments and mini-lights are recommended when decorating.

When you buy Norfolk Island pines, you can start small or buy large. Norfolk pines can be found in most nurseries in Bali, I bought mine from those guys (and there’s many of them) who cruise around the Kuta-Denpasar area selling plants from the back of a pick-up truck. It was probably 50cm in height when I bought it, and it cost around Rp 50,000, but that was a few years ago and I did bargain pretty hard. The nenek across the street spotted mine potted in the driveway a while back and liked it so much that I had to give it to her, and now I need another one for this Christmas! If you buy one at about 1 meter height then you will be able to use it at Christmas time now and for years to come. But even a small one under 50cm can be good as a small Christmas tree for the office, desk, apartment, or anywhere that space does not allow for a larger tree. The kids really like the small tree too!

This is one of the safer house plants available. The needles are soft and there are no toxic parts to this tree other than possibly the cones that will never be a problem, as indoor plants won’t cone.

This is a tree that appreciates misting with a spray bottle. As indoor plants, these perform much better than any other conifer in cultivation. They grow slowly when confined to a pot, need average watering only, tolerate periods of low light (though not indefinitely) and don’t really need to be fertilised. They can live as a house plant for a long time and indoors it can reach a height of about 2 metres, though this will take several years, depending on how you care for it.

To understand how to care for these plants, try to replicate their natural environment, where they prefer moderate temperatures, moist ocean air and bright light. Dry air, dry soil and low light can cause the needles to drop and they won’t grow back. Keep your plant away from drafts or AC vents. Yellow needles are typically caused by soil that’s either too dry or too wet. Aim to keep it lightly moist. Not many pests attack Norfolk pines. Mealy bugs are the most common. Watch for white, cottony areas on the leaves and stems and treat any infestation immediately with organic soap spray. All things considered a Norfolk Pine is the perfect choice for a Christmas tree.

C/Ho/G-21 Sept. 11

Christmas is about birth, life, spirit, nurture and nature, and having a plastic or chopped tree as an ornament just doesn’t cut it. Our Christmas tree should be alive, healthy and growing in the spirit of the Christmas tradition. So, if you want a live Christmas tree, try a Norfolk Pine, they are beautiful any time of the year, not just for Christmas!

Pathways to Healing the Body, Mind & Spirit

By Michele Cempaka

Finding My Teacher Part 1

I have lived on Bali nearly 10 years now, and have met many Balians and gurus who have passed on some of their wisdom and shared their energy for healing my various ailments, but none of them were meant to be my teacher. I had been searching for a long time to find the right teacher…someone who could instruct me in the indigenous healing practices of Bali and share their wisdom with me. As time passed, it seemed like I wasn’t destined to have a teacher, but to tread this solitary path of healing on my own, making my way through the fuzzy landscape of numerous energy modalities.

I had learned so many different tools, yet I felt that something was missing. I yearned for a teacher who could assist me with consolidating everything into a clear energetic transmission, which I could fully embody in my heart and soul and not just my mind. The feeling was akin to looking for a soul mate or long lost lover, that you intuitively know exists but don’t know exactly how you will meet or find each other in this life time.

The day I saw Ibu Diah in a photograph, I had an instant connection with her energy. There was a recognition which seemed karmic. I knew at that moment that I wanted to meet her in person, so I contacted a friend who knew Ibu Diah and asked her where she lived and how I could find her. In Bali, nothing is simple. There aren’t really straightforward addresses for many places outside of the city; especially not in villages. All I was given was the name of Ibu Diah’s banjar and her phone number. When I got close by, I called her again, and her husband asked where I was so that he could escort me to the ashram. I had come with a close friend who also wanted to meet her.

It was dusk as we entered the tiny dirt road that led to Ibu Diah’s ashram which is literally in the middle of the ricefields.

The ambiance was absolutely magical, setting the stage for an incredible encounter. As I laid eyes on Ibu Diah in the flesh; I instantly felt a deep compassion emanating from her which was quite moving. She smiled at my friend and I saying, “Many people have tried to find me, but haven’t succeeded, because it wasn’t their destiny, or their intentions were not good. But you have both found me easily, so it must be meant to be.”

I was mesmerized by her natural beauty – her skin looked so smooth and clear and her eyes had a twinkle in them.

We sat and talked for a while and then she invited us to meditate inside her ashram. There was no one else there but us; it almost felt like we were in a dream as we sat in silence. I gazed up at the altar for a moment adorned with many offerings filled with Balinese snacks and an array of colorful flowers. The fragrant smell of the incense wafted close by as my eyes gently closed and I fell into a deep meditative state. After a few minutes I felt my body spontaneously moving – being propelled by an unknown energy that felt musical. I had a strong urge to dance but resisted allowing the sensation to spread throughout my whole body. Afterward my friend turned to me asking, “Did you feel that?” I nodded and said, “Yes, it was amazing.”

We came down from the ashram where Ibu Diah was waiting for us. She smiled at us looking excited and happy as she said, “You both felt Spirit coming through. I could see it! How wonderful. You both must be very open and spiritual.”

We smiled back feeling elated by our experiences. Then we all sat together on the ground. Ibu Diah held my friend’s hands, guiding her to stand up and move to the energy as Ibu Diah blew on her face; the wind softly expelled from her lips and somehow made my friend naturally move into dance. I was fascinated by what I was witnessing, wondering if it was real. Then Ibu Diah motioned to me and blew on my face and chest. Soon I was also dancing in an almost trance-like state. I felt such a great joy wash over my whole being as my body swayed to the imaginary music which kept lifting me higher and higher. Then Ibu Diah slowly brought us both back into awareness – back into the present moment.

C/Ho/I-05 Oct. 11

We all moved to the bale begong and sat together in silence.

Ibu Diah turned to me and asked, “Would you like to learn how to be a Dasar like me – to channel Spirit through dance?”

I was taken aback by her incredible offer to mentor me. All these years I had searched for a teacher but never found one and here I was being asked to become a Dasar. I looked at her with deep admiration and asked, “But do you think I’m ready? Do you have time to teach me?”

“Yes, you’re ready. There’s always time. Just come on Thursdays when we all regularly meet to dance and pray, and you can learn by experience. There’s nothing to teach.

You’re already a healer and my feeling is you’re ready to be a Balian.”

It all seemed to be going so quickly that my mind could hardly keep up. I wondered why so many years had passed with no sign of finding a teacher, now here I was being told that I was ready to be a Balian. Yes, it was karmic that I had found Ibu Diah and that she would be my teacher. My destiny seemed to be clearly unfolding and I knew that I would return to study with Ibu Diah and deepen my Spiritual practice.

To be continued….

“A British Standard Screw” Once upon a time in a far off distant land there was a war. It was 1855 and the British Government wanted supplies for an important fixture they had with the Ruskys in the Crimea. Due to a rather poor telephone line and some rather plumby old Etonian accents 120,000 left foot gumboots were sent to the front line.

“Gunboats I said, you blithering idiot, gunboats.”

“Oh I say, dreadfully sorry old chap.”

The delay caused a little problem, they had only 90 days left to build 120 gunboats before kick off. Oh they could manage to build the boats alright but the engines were a different matter.

Back in those days building an engine was nearly as difficult as finding an investment banker with a conscience (sorry I shouldn’t exaggerate). It was an impossible task until some smartypants had an idea. The smartypants in question was a fellow called John Penn who just happened to have a couple of 60 horsepower engines of the type required lying around in the back of his potting shed. He had them taken apart and the parts were distributed to some of the best manufacturers in the country who were each asked to make up sets identical to the samples they were sent.

When the parts were brought together they fit, amazing, and 90 sets of engines were built within the 90 days. Such an achievement was unheard of at that time (the enemy were totally gobsmacked and complained to the International Association of War Referees). The secret to this feat lay in the fact that by then a whole system of measurement and quality standards (metrology) had been developed and adopted by manufacturing companies in Britain which meant that a screw in Aberdeen was just the same as a screw in Cardiff (apart from the accent).

Let me explain. It all started with a clever chappie called Joseph Whitworth who devised the world’s first standards for mass production. Back in 1841 Whitworth came up with the idea of standardising the design of screw threads which until that time were made as sets on a “one off” basis and, as a result they were monogamous, only one nut would fit any one bolt.

Whitworth determined fixed sizes, the crest angle of the thread was set at 55 degrees and the number of threads per inch (yes this was back in the days of those strange imperial measurements) was also fixed (20 threads per inch for a quarter inch thread) which determined the depth of the thread.

It was all worked out to produce a screw thread that was an optimum compromise between being strong enough and having enough friction to not come loose.

The sizes of hexagonal bolt heads were also fixed which meant that spanners could also be standardised which is why, to this day, you can go into a shop in Swaziland and buy a spanner that will remove the bolt through Frankenstein’s neck.

Until fairly recently (relatively speaking) every bright eyed young lad starting his first day at an engineering apprenticeship in Britain would be handed a set of spanners (wrenches to you unsophisticated types who have a tendency to wrench, jerk or yank anything you get your hands on). They looked nondescript enough which belied the genius behind them. There were 5 in the set, increasing in size and with open ended jaws on each end. With only 5 spanners you could remove and install any nut and bolt between a quarter and one inch. All part of the system developed by Joseph Whitworth.

It should be noted that we are talking about real spanners here and not those “adjustable” things, an amateur handyman’s excuse for a real spanner, infernal devices that any self respecting engineer would fall on his hacksaw if he was caught using, an evil contrivance that has a tendency to round off the hexagon head of any bolt it comes near while removing the skin from your knuckles, a fiendish contraption imposed on the world by one Richard Clyburn, a man of doubtful parentage who ran a joke shop in Lesser Frotterington. Here endeth the first rant.

Joseph Whitworth developed standard screw threads which became universally adopted as British Standard Whitworth (BSW) screw threads. He also developed a method of making very flat iron workbenches (known as surface tables) and manufactured screw cutting lathes which made it possible to measure and manufacture to very accurate tolerances. He was knighted for his efforts, it’s a brave thing to do having some aging monarch waggling a sharp blade close to your jugular vein, beheading is, after all, in the family so to speak. “I dub thee....oh dear, the late Sir Joseph Whitworth”.

BSW was only the start, a finer thread was developed for more delicate jobs known as BSF (British Standard Fine) and BSP (British Standard Pipe threads) which is still used as the standard for pipe threads in many parts of the world (including Indonesia). You will find that plumbing fittings still widely use British Standard Pipe threads which come in parallel and tapered variety (what?). Next time a plumber comes to your house and removes a tap or a shower have a look at the screw thread. It may be parallel (in which case it will have a rubber or fibre washer to seal it) or it will be tapered (the diameter of the thread decreases towards the end). Tapered threads are designed so that when you screw them up they will tighten and seal the pipe, they don’t need a washer. If you’ve lost the thread and don’t know what I’m talking about don’t worry about it.

In 1864 an American, William Sellers, proposed the introduction of standard screw threads in America. He modified Whitworth’s standard (they do have a habit of going their own way don’t they) changing the 55 degree thread angle to 60 degrees and coming up with a standard that became the United States Standard thread (USS thread) and these evolved into the American National Coarse, National Fine and National Taper threads. The second world war brought standardisation between the US, UK and Canada in the form of unified threads although Britain tended to stay with the established British Standards.

Europe developed metric threads which also have 60 degree thread angles. The standard specifications for metric screw threads were one of the first world standards established by the International standards office or ISO in 1947 these days known as ISO 68-1. Britain went metric changing from Whitworth to metric threads in the 1970’s. These have since been adopted across most of the world including America.

All good stuff but it is unfortunate, however, that one of the lesser appreciated aspects of Whitworth’s genius was missed.

You see old Joseph was clever enough to select which sizes would be commonly used, which ones would be “preferred sizes”. When Britain joined just about all the rest of the world and went metric they did not state preferred sizes. They didn’t say “I say chaps let’s not bother using a 13 mm thread, it’s only a flea’s ear’ole bigger than 12mm and 14mm isn’t that much bigger either”.

At first it may seem that this is not of much consequence but anyone who spent years of their lives trying to keep some old banger going in the North of England will understand what I mean. When you are lying on your back on the garage floor with a set of spanners on a freezing winters night, your fingers sticking to the icy steel and knocking the skin off your knuckles when the spanner slips, the last thing in the world you want is to be changing spanners every 20 seconds.

My cynical side might suggest we’ve all been screwed, it’s all a ploy (nay a plot) to sell more spanners. These days the set of five open ended spanners young apprentices received in days of yore has grown to about three thousand four hundred and sixty two to cover the same size range. You can’t keep your spanners in your overall pocket anymore, you need a tool chest on wheels that you have to drag around to keep them in and the sizes are so similar you end up trying 26 before you manage to find the right one.

C/BM/I-30 Nov 11

Multiply this by the millions of people all over the world taking things apart and putting them back together again all busy swearing and cursing because they selected the 18mm instead of the 17 and we have to wonder why such a simple thing was missed.

Did I hear something? It must have been old Sir Joseph turning in his grave. Here endeth the second rant.

These days there are many different sizes of screw threads for all sorts of purposes such as bicycle threads, watchmakers thread, meccano bolts, small machine nuts and bolts used by electronic engineers and, of course, those little gold threaded bolts we have in our navels to stop our bottoms falling off.

There are also manufacturers that purposely design non standard nuts and bolts just to make sure you buy original spare parts from them.

In spite of this you will find that if you go and buy nuts and bolts they will generally come in metric sizes. They start with the letter M for metric followed by a number which is the diameter of the bolt across the outside of the thread. M10 is a metric bolt with a 10 millimetre diameter thread. An M10 nut fits an M10 bolt (surprise surprise).

C/BM/I-15 June 11

Standard metric bolts have coarse threads for general purpose work but fine and even superfine metric threads are also available. These days there are in fact preferred sizes for metric bolts which are: 1, 1.2, 1.6, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 56 and 64 millimetres. Unfortunately these preferred sizes are often ignored and even so there are still rather a lot aren’t there?

There are some very good nut and bolt shops hidden away in Bali, you’ll find a couple of them on Jalan Gatot Subroto but don’t expect the extensive range you’ll find in western countries.

As a final comment if you are buying nuts and bolts it is a good idea to make sure they fit together before you leave the shop or you might get home with something as useful as a left footed gumboot.

Memoirs of an Indo Woman by Marguerite Schenkhuizen

Bali Advertiser

Reviews of English language books on Indonesia

The memoirs of Marguérite Schenkhuizen provide an overview of practically the whole of the 20TH Century as experienced by persons of mixed Dutch and Indonesian ancestry who lived in the former Dutch East Indies. The book is yet another distinctive and dramatic contribution in the literary revival of interest in the country’s “Indo” past.

The life stories that make up this new genre, written as a response to the curiosity and nostalgia of mostly third generation mixed European/Indonesians, has only in the last decade become available to general English readers. The telling of Marguerite’s and the tales of many other survivors is all the more imperative because of the narrators’ advancing years. Soon there will be no more living witnesses of this remarkable period in Dutch colonial and post-war modern Indonesian history.

Marguérite’s spontaneous reminisces, gleaned from piles of her handwritten pages, provide vignettes of Indonesian life, both rural and urban, as seen first through the eyes of a little girl living a privileged childhood, then attending expensive finishing schools in the capitals of Europe, then as a wife separated from her husband during the Japanese occupation, and finally as a struggling immigrant working as a housemaid in the United States after World War II. By 1930, the number of people in the Indies who were of mixed European and Indonesian ancestry had grown to 240,000 individuals. Although this group was miniscule in size compared to the other major groups, the Chinese and the natives, they still held most of the economic and political power. Locally born Indos were found among army generals, provincial governors, city mayors, heads of government departments, forming about one-half of the political elite.

This distinctive Indo culture expressed itself in dress, in a variety of cultural and social characteristics, in a tendency to believe in guna guna (black magic), and in a pidgin dialect (pechoh) in which words and concepts were intertwined with Indonesian words, grammar, pronunciation and sentence structure. Marguerite’s original manuscript contained a sizeable number of pechoh expressions that for reasons of readability were removed from the published version.

The Indos’ social origins highlight their colorful genealogy, exemplified by the extensive interrelationships in Marguerite’s own family. Her maternal grandfather was a Dutchman born in the Netherlands and married to a Javanese with whom he had 15 children. Two of her cousins had an Indonesian mother while some of her uncles were married to Indonesian women or living with them.

Written with an upbeat tone and perky sense of humor, Marguerite’s story challenges the myth that Indos were always denied access to the upper layers of Dutch colonial society or were otherwise disadvantaged. The times she recalls most vividly and movingly are of her childhood years, living the life of a princess in a tropical paradise. She attended the prestigious HBS high school in Surabaya and was sent all over Europe to further her education. Though

Indos were regarded as second-class citizens and subject to racial discrimination, because of Marguerite’s good looks vivaciousness and her family’s affluence she was largely immune from racial prejudice. Her Dutch father called her his “coffee bean” and later her husband referred to her as his “black pearl.”

NC/BM/M-30 Nov .11

Marguerite recounts her life in Surabaya in the 1930s, her marriage to an Indo bookkeeper, the outbreak of the Pacific war, and the arrival of the Japanese. Indos, because of their Asian ancestry, were permitted to stay out of the detention camps into which some 100,000 European men, women and children were being herded in 1942-43.

Life outside the camps had obvious advantages and a greater survival rate, but was also uncertain and unsafe with frequent raids, searches, and possible arrests by the feared Japanese secret police. Marguerite sold belongings and traded second-hand goods to get by. Ms. Schenkhuizen is a keen observer with a near-photographic memory for scenes, events and incidences. Her minutely detailed and personable record of the everyday life of the times feels like you are sharing the same room or walking by her side down the street.

With end of the war and the return of the Dutch imminent, bands of militant Indonesian youth initiated a nightmarish campaign of arson, kidnapping and murder known as the period of Bersiap! (Get ready!). By the time Marguerite was rescued by regular Indonesian army troops, she was traumatized and her hair had turned grey. When Indonesian independence was officially declared in December 1949, she and her husband continued to reside in Indonesia until 1957 when all Dutch citizens in Indonesia faced mass expulsion.

C/BM/I-05 Oct. 11

The largest recipient of emigrants from the Indies was the United States who absorbed 23,000, among them Marguerite and other members of her family who arrived in Pasadena, California in the early 1960s. For the first 10 years Marguerite cleaned the houses of the wealthy until she began drawing Social Security benefits at age 63. She joined the Indo club “De Soos” and continued to maintain a close-knit family.

Memoirs of an Indo Woman takes an honored place among the other highly regarded chronicles of the Indo experience as Silenced Voices, As I have Loved You, Eurasian Minority in Indonesia, Overseas Dutch Culture, Angel of the East Indies, The Defining Years of the Dutch East Indies, The Social World of Batavia and The Hunt of the Heart.

Marguerite’s self-portrait provides an authentic and valuable glimpse of how vital Indo culture was in the colonial hierarchy in Java during the heyday of Dutch East Indies.

COMPUTER & INTERNET Software

Connection Up to 1 Mbps

Is my Hard Drive in trouble?

Recently, I ‘lost’ a 500GB hard drive. I don’t mean, I forgot where I put it. I mean it failed! But, of course, you had it all backup up, you might ask. Well I am ashamed to admit that the answer is ‘no’. Not a recent backup anyway. There was no alarm bell that went off, it’s just that one day my computer did not ‘see’ the drive. I took it into to my local computer place and they said they could either send it back to the manufacturer and get a new one since it was under warrantee (but all data would be lost) or they could take it to Denpasar to a place that would try and save the data. Of course, I chose the latter to save the data. In the end, they could not retrieve any of the data AND I lost the warrantee! So I was out the data AND the hard drive – NOT a good day!

What I learned was that physical damage to a hard drive often starts with bad sectors - small segments of the magnetic disk that can no longer be read, written to, or even found by the operating system. One bad sector tends to give rise to many others because it disrupts the read/write processes. Bad sectors also cause excessive wear of read/write heads.

So your first line of defense is to check for hard drive damage at the sector level.

Every operating system can check a hard drive for bad sectors. In versions of Windows prior to XP, the DOS utility CHKDSK was used at the command line level. Later versions of Windows use this procedure:

5 min - setup

• • • •

Open the Start Menu and click on My Computer Right-click on the icon representing the hard drive in question and select Properties On the Tools tab, click the Check Now button under “Error-checking” On the following popup window, check the box labeled “automatically fix errors” and “scan for and attempt to repair bad sectors” • Click OK • Do this for all your drives Then you will have to restart Windows because the error-checking utility cannot run while Windows is running. The tests and repairs will take a significant amount of time on a large hard drive; go to lunch or take a walk on the beach. When the tests for hard drive damage end, Windows will restart automatically. A report will be available after the error-checker does its job.

Mac OS X users need their Mac installation CDs to check for bad sectors. The install disk you use must correspond to the version of Mac OS that you are running. Additionally, Mac users should run a cache-clearing utility such as Cocktail or Yasu before they check for hard drive errors. Here are the steps to follow: • • • • • •

Start the Mac from the install disk After the Installer window opens, open the Disk Utility Select your Mac OS X boot drive from the list of drives that appears If you do not see “Verified” in the S.M.A.R.T. field, you have some hard drive damage.

Click the First Aid tab in the Disk Utility window Click the Repair Disk button

If Repair Disk found and fixed errors, it will tell you so. If it finds other problems such as a damaged volume record, follow its instructions to attempt to repair the problem.

Sometimes problems with hard drives originate outside of the hard drive itself. If you are experiencing intermittent read/ write failures, check the cable connections between your hard drive and motherboard, and between the hard drive and its power supply. Expansion and contraction during on/off cycles can cause connectors to loosen.

Another option I use is Spinrite. It’s a little expensive but can recover even damaged data for you. Go to http://www. grc.com/spinrite.htm and read more to see if it is right for you. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ SpinRite. Basically it does what is called a ‘low level reformat’. But it does NOT reformat your drive. You must make a bootable CD (it’s easy, just follow Spinrite’s instructions – or take it to a local PC shop). Then you boot from that CD (just put the CD in the drawer and restart your computer. It reads a small section of data and copies it to another location.

Then it reads and writes to that area many times. If all is ok, it copies back the original data and then moves to the next sector. IF it finds a problem, it marks the area as unusable so your system will never even try to use it, and moves on. It can even recover data from sectors that are ‘going’ bad. It is THE best software tool to protect you hard drives.

Stay Young and Healthy with The Latest Advances in Anti Aging Medicine

Low HGH Linked With Fibromyalgia What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is characterized by generalized muscular, bone or joint pain accompanied by a feeling of fatigue or exhaustion.

The pain is often described as being vague, throbbing, burning or stabbing. The word “fibromyalgia” actually means pain in the fibrous tissues and muscles.

There are also multiple “trigger points” in the soft tissues. They are usually located in the occiput region (base of skull), shoulders, at the front of the neck, biceps tendons, breast bone, hips and knees. Symptoms often begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress.

However, in other cases, symptoms gradually increase over time with no single triggering event.

Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men. Other common symptoms in those with fibromyalgia include tension headaches, sleep problems, anxiety and depression, menstrual cramps, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, abdominal bloating, pain and diarrhea. According to western medicine, there is no cure for fibromyalgia, and the best one can aim for is symptom relief using medications. Exercise, relaxation and stress-reduction measures also may help.

What Causes Fibromyalgia?

According to the Mayo Clinic, “doctors don’t know what causes fibromyalgia, but it most likely involves a variety of factors working together.”

That is really reassuring! Here we have a condition affecting a large number of people and western doctors have no idea what the cause is. So if they don’t know the cause, it is therefore impossible for them to offer patients any form of cure, which they don’t. The best that modern medicine can offer is some pain relief using drugs.

In my opinion the causes of this condition are multiple, and it can take only some of them to lead to fibromyalgia, however in many people, many of them are present at the same time.

1) Physical Injury - it is often noted that symptoms often begin after an injury, and they linger and worsen over time. In my view, any injury will heal if the body is in good health, therefore whilst this may be a trigger for the initial symptoms, I do not believe that this is a major cause of fibromyalgia.

2) Antibiotic Syndrome - I wrote about this in one of last month’s articles, so I won’t go into more detail here. However I believe that the widespread use of antibiotics can and does lead to a whole host of health problems. Because antibiotics disrupt one’s own immune system to a significant degree, leading to an overgrowth of candida, bacteria, and viral infections, there is no doubt that they can predispose the body to developing many illnesses. Long term systemic infections with any of the above can in my opinion lead to fibromyalgia. If you would like to read my article on the antibiotic syndrome, email me and I can send you the link.

3) Lyme Disease – the incidence of this tick bourne infection has exploded in recent years, and it is leading to considerable long term health destruction in many people. Due to the fact that most doctors are unaware of this problem, it is not often diagnosed, and therefore not treated immediately. The problem with the lyme bacteria is that if it is not treated with antibiotics within the first few weeks of infection, it then borrows deep within the body, and it becomes then resistant to drug treatment.

It can then invade all systems and organs of the body, including the musculoskeletal system, the heart, and the brain and nerves. It can lead to a multitude of nervous and muscular symptoms and signs, mimicking many other health problems, including fibromyalgia.

If you have been bitten by a tick of late (you may have noticed a tell-tale red circular mark after the bite) and you are suffering from any muscular or nervous symptoms, then you may well have lyme disease. It can be treated using numerous alternative therapies, but it does take time and effort.

4) Hormonal Deficiencies - I have no doubt whatsoever that persistent and long term hormone deficiencies can lead to fibromyalgia, as well as to a host of other health problems.

Deficiencies in thyroid hormone are quite common and cannot be easily diagnosed with the current blood testing that is routinely offered by doctors. Hypothyroidism can lead to many symptoms and signs, such as low energy, depression, constipation, increased body fat, fatigue, falling hair, and sensitivity to cold weather. It can also weaken your immune system therefore leading to an increase in viral and bacterial loads within your body. Other hormones that are important include estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and testosterone. A deficiency in any of these can lead to a widespread disruption in one’s health, and to various symptoms and signs.

Fibromyalgia sufferers need to look out for these issues and correct them if they are present.

Growth Hormone (HGH) Deficiency In Fibromyalgia Growth hormone deficiency in adults is increasingly common from what I have seen, and can occur in anyone over about 40 years of age. This leads to a multitude of problems as HGH can affect virtually every organ and system of the body. It is after all our major repair and rejuvenation hormone. HGH deficiency in adults has been associated with a wide range of symptoms that are similar to those described by fibromyalgia patients including: low energy, poor general health, reduced exercise capacity, muscle weakness, cold intolerance, impaired cognition, and decreased lean body mass. Low levels of HGH also lead too rapid aging.

C/He/G-30 Nov. 11

Dr Robert Bennett, professor of medicine and chairman of the division of arthritis and rheumatic disease at Oregon Health Sciences University published one of the largest studies supporting a hormonal connection in the 1992 journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. Studying blood samples from two groups of women - those with fibromyalgia and healthy women of the same ages without fibromyalgia - he found very low levels of IGF-1 in the women with fibromyalgia. Note that IGF-1 levels are closely associated with HGH secretion.

The researchers speculate that the low levels of growth hormone in the women with fibromyalgia may contribute to muscle pain and fatigue. Experimental treatment involving the administration of HGH in these conditions has been conducted at Oregon Health Sciences University under the direction of Dr Bennett. Thus far, growth hormone replacement has been a dramatically successful treatment for some fibromyalgia patients.

The treatment of HGH deficiency in adults has been reported to improve quality of life and energy level, to reduce pain, improve depression, enhance self-esteem, improve cholesterol and LDL levels, boost sexual function and performance, enhance cognitive function and memory, improve heart cardiac output, and improve exercise capacity and muscle strength .

PARADISE...

IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH

By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

HIV / AIDS 2011...Where are we now?

December the 1st is world AIDS Day. A good time to reflect on your awareness of what’s going on in your part of the world in regards to this global problem.

Indonesia’s initial response to the AID’s warnings over a decade ago was one of arrogance and ignorance, but it seems that now they are finally coming to the party, in fact they have to.

A conservative report in 2005 estimated the HIV positive rate here in Indonesia to be 170,000. The current conservative figures are more than double, currently standing at between 200,000 and 460,000 depending on who’s counting. The number of people dying of AIDS ranges between 3,000 and 5,000 per year. Approximately 10 people die of AIDS every day in Indonesia.

Indonesia has the fastest growing epidemic in Asia.This number has risen sharply in recent years and is expected to more than double by 2014 if approaches to HIV prevention are not improved. This rise is due to several factors including: the country’s extensive sex industry; limited testing and treatment clinics; a highly mobile population; a rapidly growing population of people who inject drugs; and the challenges created by major economic and natural crises.

High levels of HIV infection are found amongst high-risk groups, such as injecting drug users, sex workers and their clients and to a lesser extent, men who have sex with men.

However, local regulations often criminalize high-risk groups making it difficult to seek diagnosis and treatment.

Commercial sex work is widespread in Indonesia, both male and female. There are an estimated 190,000-270,000 female sex workers, and clients of sex workers number approximately 7-10 million, with condom use estimated at less than 10%. Male sex workers also have sex with women, and sex workers are also more likely to inject drugs, and so the plot thickens.

A huge number of the HIV positive population are drug users (injected). Most of these drug users are young, relatively well educated and live with their families. Surveys have shown that intravenous drug users are among the best informed and are becoming more cautious in their practice.

Other less common methods of transmission are unsafe medical or dental practices, tattoo studios, acupuncture clinics. Think also about beauty salons that are using metal instruments to excise blackheads or pimples, and the common local practice or “kerok” (rubbing a coin across the skin to cause abrasion and release heat from the body).

But why does this country have such a problem? The bottom line is still ignorance along with a good dose of discrimination. There is still the “it won’t happen to me” attitude even in those living in high-risk situations. Many still believe it to be a “gay” disease, or one of those things that “foreigners have / get”.

If someone is suspected or confirmed to have HIV they will encounter discrimination and are unlikely to seek out diagnosis or treatment (“What I don’t know won’t hurt me and if I die its destiny”).

The shocking news is that according to statistics from Surabaya a rising middle class of businessmen and entrepreneurs have overtaken sex workers as the largest

group of people who have contracted the deadly disease in the city. The news is particularly striking given that Surabaya, the capital of East Java, is the home of Indonesia’s most infamous prostitution complex, Dolly, which has more than 300 brothels.

According to statistic from the health dept. businessmen and entrepreneurs topped the list of people living with AIDS in the city, followed by housewives and, in third place, sex workers. Businessmen and entrepreneurs not only usually have more money but are also more mobile and therefore more prone to use the services of prostitutes.

Data from the city health office showed that in 2011, there were 560 people living with HIV/AIDS registered in the city with businessmen and entrepreneurs numbering 170.

According to the State General Hospital in Surabaya, women, especially housewives, still accounted for a large percentage of people with HIV/AIDS in Surabaya. In October, 47 new HIV/AIDS cases were registered in the city, and women accounted for 12 cases. From these 12 cases, two were pregnant women. Experts have warned that the actual number of people carrying the virus is likely to be much higher than the official figures, as very few people are tested before developing symptoms and many refused to report infection to the authorities for fear of persecution and the stigma attached to it.

The Good News?

The government is opening its eyes and its wallet and is really getting proactive in addressing the HIV/AIDS situation.

Retroviral medication is now free however less than 40% of HIV sufferers have access or intent to use the medication.

HIV testing is now free in government hospitals and clinics.

Despite some improvement Vice President Boediono says the nation still needed to work harder to prevent the spread of AIDS to achieve the target of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015.

The VP claims that harder work was badly needed to prevent the spread of AIDS. The five steps that he plans to initiate are firstly, expanding service facility networks for HIV/AIDS sufferers; secondly, promoting the public participation in the prevention and handling of AIDS sufferers, and thirdly, improving coordination and management involving all parties and institutions handling HIV/AIDS-related problems.

The fourth thing was improving the information system and the fifth was mobilizing funds to handle HIV/AIDS cases across the country.

On November the 28th the VP launched a campaign with the slogan “I am proud I know.” A good slogan indeed. Until people seek diagnosis, admit to the disease and seek treatment, HIV will remain an invisible monster.

Blue Stone Botanicals

Can you give an example of an ingredient that comes from Bali?

One of the missions of our company is to support local farmers. So we’re continually developing new items based on local ingredients. We just launched our ‘Hair & Scalp Tonic’ based on traditional Balinese ingredients. We use locally sourced kemiri (kukui), coconut, ylang-ylang flower, and patchouli oils. This is a great example of Blue Stone team work. Several of us worked together to formulate this based on old knowledge passed to us from our families.

The result is an authentic product. And our customers love it!

How are your therapeutic products different from others available on Bali?

Our products are truly all natural. And the ingredients are not just natural, they are also top quality. We use premium quality essential oils in all of our items, not synthetic fragrances or low-grade essential oils usually used in the industry. Many people don’t know what genuine, premium quality essential oils smell like because very few companies are willing to pay the cost of using them. We also use ourselves all of the items that we sell. We would not sell something we didn’t believe in and use ourselves.

Are your products also environmentally friendly?

Denanda Satria was born and raised in Jakarta. He studied economics at UNDIP in central Java, then finance and accounting at the University of Leeds in Yorkshire. After graduating, Denanda worked in England for several years in finance for British Gas and some other companies where he learned a lot of colourful British slang sorting out billing disputes with cross suppliers. Today he is the director of Blue Stone Botanicals, based in Ubud, which produces 100% natural hand-prepared aromatherapy and essential oils to promote health and wellbeing. These therapeutic products have been inspired by the botanical arts of Bali and Java but updated for contemporary lifestyles.

How did you become interested in natural healing?

A few years ago a friend and I were taking a train from Jogja to Jakarta. In front of us was one of those automatic, time-release chemical air fresheners. It sprayed in our faces every two minutes for the 10 hour trip and we felt really sick by the time we got off. We questioned why air freshners should be made with hundreds of artificial, and often toxic, chemicals when nature’s real aromas are available.

Indonesia produces some of the world’s finest essential oils made from plants with natural health properties. So aromas made from them are not only all natural and nontoxic, they can actually boost people’s health! That insight was the start of it all.

Where did you get the name “Blue Stone Botanicals”?

I was lucky enough to visit the island of Flores just before we started the company. There was a blue stone beach there that was awe-inspiring in its unspoilt natural purity.

That was the inspiration for our name, a reminder for us to always keep our formulations and our company as naturally pure as that remote seaside was.

Where do you get your ingredients?

We are dedicated to using the best quality ingredients from Bali, Java, and other Indonesian islands. For example, arguably the finest quality cinnamon essential oil in the world comes from Sumatra, known as ‘Padang Cinnamon.’

But some ingredients, like lavender oil, are from plants that do not grow in Indonesia so we need to source them from abroad. When working with natural ingredients you need to respect the diversity of nature and go to nature’s source.

Palm oil is commonly used in natural products as a cheap and plentiful ‘filler’ ingredient. We are one of the few natural products companies in the world, and certainly here in Bali, who do not use palm oil in any of our preparations. Although palm oil is natural, it’s not particularly beneficial for the body and it’s certainly damaging to the environment due to its documented role in deforestation, biodiversity loss and theft of indigenous land rights. We use no artificial preservatives, petrochemicals, or other chemical nasties in our formulations.

We also use recyclable materials in all our packaging, as well as reclaimed wood and LED lighting in our shops.

Who buys your products?

Mostly expats and visitors who are more aware of the importance of living naturally healthy lives. We do get the occassional Balinese customer, and we’re seeing increasing interest among Jakartans as they become more concerned about personal wellbeing and environmental issues.

How have your products acutally helped people?

The first time people use essential oils they’re always suprised at just how effective these oils really are. People tend to think that natural items are only poor substitutes for the artificially manufactured products they’re used to. But when they try our Aromatherapy Mists, for example, they see that Nature’s aromas don’t just mask foul odors, but actually remove them. And the calming, uplifting, and mentally clarifying effects of the oils are a welcome bonus.

We have one customer who keeps bottles of our mists in her home, office and car. She told us that she not only enjoys the aromas, but they have also reduced her road rage!

C/He/G-9 March 11

the art of body Toning the Derrière What on earth is wrong with thighs that are big near the top (as long as it’s muscular size) and a booty that has a protruding contour? These are muscles as deserving of respect and attention as any other. And in the case of the gluteus maximus (the butt) it possesses the potential to carry more power and size than any other muscle in the body. Most women are aware of their derrières and want to make them more appealing. I get asked at least once a week on how to shape the behind.

C/HE/G-30 Nov. 11

The number one body shaping principle to keep in mind for improving your butt is to realize that “shaping” or “firming” the area actually requires some muscle building. Adopting the widespread notion that you can noticeably change your glutes without adding some muscle to them will likely lead to unsatisfying results and disillusionment. Muscles don’t really improve in shape or become harder without adding new muscle tissue. If you lose three pounds of fat from this region and don’t simultaneously gain three pounds of muscle, you’ll have a net loss in glute size and it’s unlikely that you’ll have a nicer butt. This seems especially likely given the fact that muscle weighs more than fat, thereby resulting in less visual mass created by three pounds of muscle than three pounds of fat. Of course, the muscle will likely be more visually appealing than even a third of that fat.

• • • • •

What we want are some reliable methods for steadily building the glutes. The two most effective exercises I know of for accomplishing this are deep squats and stiff-legged dead-lifts. These two movements will build size and shape in your glutes faster and more impressively than doing endless lunges across a gym floor.

Retail & Wholesale Spa Products Spa Accessories Special and Corporate Gifts Development of Private Label Hotel & Villa Amenities

Stiff-legged dead-lifts might seem counter-intuitive. Society tells us to bend at the knees when we pick up something heavy. But that instruction assumes that our only alternative is to lift from the lower back – which is NOT where you should lift from while doing this exercise. Bodybuilders know that there is also the option of lifting primarily from the hamstring and glute muscles when picking something up without the use of the quadriceps. Moreover, if you keep your mind focused on your gluteus muscles while lifting the weight, you’ll be performing an exercise that is second-to-none for building a strong and incredibly shapely butt.

When performing stiff-legged dead-lifts, make sure you keep your feet just slightly wider than shoulder width (for better glute involvement), and bend very slightly at the knees. Holding the bar with your hands at shoulder width, lower the weight by bending at the hips until the bar touches the top of your feet near your lower shins. Then, keeping the back stiff and slightly arched, bring your body back up to nearly upright while pulling from your glute muscles. Be sure to keep the bar up against your body throughout the movement to help prevent using your back. NEVER attempt a deadlift if you have a back injury and always consult your physician before beginning a routine involving these exercises or any other training regimen for that matter.

That said, here is the best four-exercise routine I’d recommend for building the butt: 1. Deep Squats (for proper form, please ask a professional to spot you): (4-7 sets of 6 reps) 2. Stiff-legged dead-lifts: (4-7 sets of 6 reps) 3. Leg curls (4-7 sets of 6 reps) 4. Lunges (4 sets of 6 reps) Yes, I recommend lunges too. However, I suggest doing them at the end of the routine when the glutes have been pre-exhausted by the previous exercises. Also, I recommend that you do them one leg at a time rather than alternating between legs by walking them across the gym floor. Perform this routine no more than once per week and less often as you progress in development. These exercises, in this sequence, are the sure, quick way I know of for creating an eye-catching… uh… derrière. (if you need more explanation on any exercises, please don’t hesitate to contact me)

YEAR END WRAP

The Wrap of 2011 2011 was no different to those of recent years. An unbelievable number of new restaurants were opened. Many were instant successes, some will take time and many will never work, in fact a few have not even lasted the year out, and have already gone.

Do you remember Bali of the 90’s? It is a cause for constant amazement at the ever increasing range of quality restaurants, in almost every area, covering so many different cuisines, and at all levels of the pricing yardstick.

The north of Bali is fairly stagnant, only two newcomers took the gamble in 2011. Seyu replaced the old Bali Apik in central Lovina, and after a full refit re-opened as the area’s ‘1st Japanese restaurant’, that is if you overlook Octopus Garden years ago. Seyu offers a full range of sushi [traditional, modern and Americanised], sashimi, snacks, mains and even a fusion special looking like Nasi Goreng but called Teppanyaki Garlic Rice. The other newbie of note is Le Jeanzan, opened by the long time local chef at Damai. I recall an incredible Balinese Snail Soup he produced when he was there, it was quite amazing.

The coastal strip south of Amed sees constant development.

Every visit I discover new small hotels and warungs, mostly locally owned, some with foreign involvement.

This year, however, not one overtook the previously established favourite eateries.

There is much excitement about this area’s first ever up-market development The Griya, which is due to open early in 2012, luxury pool villas, high on the hill with views across to Gili Trawangan. Within the complex will be Maku a fine dining restaurant, an open Terrace for more casual dining and an underground [no noise pollution] Lounge Bar with live music. This experienced management team, has long operated the very successful Santai in Amed and Rio in Seminyak, so the resultant quality is not in question.

On the hill above Amlapura is found Bali Asli, the brainchild of that bundle of energy from England via Australia, Penny Williams [ex exec chef at Alila Manggis and currently consulting chef at Lovina’s Damai]. Penny learnt her trade in the kitchens of London’s famous Savoy Hotel, subsequently working with some great chefs in Sydney before discovering Bali. Bali Asli presents totally original East Balinese cuisine, and is 100% organic.

Candi Dasa has slowly been waking up and 2011 saw a host of new restaurants, some even with daring concepts, such as The Dining Room offering something from every cuisine around the Mediterranean Sea. Highlights for me were their Turkish dish, Beyaz Peynir Haydari, is a thick slice of grilled feta that had been sprinkled with paprika and served with Haydari, a yoghurt based sauce with dill, mint and garlic, and a dish from Malta, Zalza Pikkanti, green bell peppers stuffed with a spicy mix of finely ground beef with tomato, garlic, mint, marjoram and olives, baked in a beef and tomato broth.

The Dining Room started its life as La Sala da Pranzo which resulted in a number of existing restaurants changing their names [but nothing else] to real or bogus French to compete, rather childish I thought! So, sensibly, now it is back to just The Dining Room. They have since added a giant wood-fired pizza oven at front and a separate restaurant on the side is called Pizza Express, offering a range of tempting pizzas.

Joglo was one of the better new restaurants to open, immaculately clean and offering pure Indonesian food such as Gudeg Jogja, boiled young jackfruit, Beef Empal, sweet fried beef and Telur Pindang, boiled eggs in guava leaves/ Although the secret newcomer is found at The BayShore Hotel’s Oceanside Terrace restaurant. The owner is a retired chef from Perth, Australia, who was ‘never going to cook again’ but could not resist the temptation in this wonderful location.

Ubud retains its fame as being different from the rest. Highlight of the year was the opening of the perfectly renovated Bridges with outside terrace overlooking the rapids below. Their young Australian chef came up with one of my best dishes of the year, although for me poorly named as a Goat Cheese Brulee, it is a hollowed out beetroot filled with thyme-infused goat cheese cream, roasted and served hot with very crisp prosciutto, crunchily good, and roasted garlic on the side, wonderful contrasts in taste.

In a quiet corner above a small river is the quaint Taksu, a perfect spot to relax and enjoy organic food. An amazing variety of breakfast dishes [for Ubud], some of which are available all day. They include Eggs Florentine and Benedict [even on real English muffins], Frittatas, Pancakes and Belgian Waffles. Set menus include American, Indonesian, Japanese and Mexican breakfasts.

Ryoshi made a temporary move from its long established position to a back water location in Padang Tegal and was surprisingly busy, the garden setting at front proving very popular. They are now nearing completion of the all new Ryoshi [next door between the temporary Ryoshi and Bebek Bengil] that may even see the live Jazz nights that have proved so successful at their Seminyak restaurant. In the same area Kakiang also rebuilt and re-opened to a full house, still making the best croissants in Bali.

Many new cuisines arrived in Ubud, The Melting Wok with its fresh produce stir-fries with a touch of Laos, Ramen Boy serving those Chinese style wheat noodles cooked in a meat or seafood broth, Delicious Onion from Singapore, Istanbul Café became Ada to back up its change of management, great Turkish food. Il Giardino is Italian at the Han Snel Bungalows, operated by the Three Monkeys clan.

Ubud Green is a new villa complex with rice paddy views and a few well known faces. Their Firefly Café offers Mediterranean snacks and meals [an all day tapas menu to start early in 2012], a rotunda with 270 degree views of mountains and paddies. The late night sports bar The Melting Pot offers tasty Mexican finger food, great quesadillas.

Ubud got itself a steak house, replacing Casa Pasta and Bebek II, the CP Royal Steakhouse, offering different beef cuts, venison and an unusual Tuna Steak, first marinated with miso. In the back streets of Ubud new small places appeared, Warung Sopa is vegetarian [curried lentils, seaweed lumpia and potato/okara samosas]. Up amongst the rice paddies of Katik Lantang, near Pennestenan, is Warung Om Namaste, a large two level bamboo structure, serving a full range of Indian food including all the regular dishes and some tasty Biryanis.

On the hill between Tjampuhan and Sayan many local warungs and restaurants opened but the only one to make its mark was Pulau Kelapa, serving traditional non-Balinese Indonesian food from Java and other islands, all at very reasonable prices. In the same area Dijon Café arrived, fresh and clean, with a similar menu to the popular Kuta original. 2012 will see a larger evening hot meal menu.

In Sanur very few changes, the best newcomer was All Spice Café on The ByPass. Subtle spices for a small but interesting range of dishes at modest prices. Moroccan Chicken, Balinese Duck, Javanese Rawon Beef and a great Chilli con Carne with yellow rice. Other than that Starry House replaced Triana, now Cantonese instead of Spanish. Doner Kebabs day and night from a warung of that name and a few more new places about to open.

The Renon area of Denpasar is virtually a constant line of warungs and restaurants, mostly local but some internationally appealing. Virgin Duck led the way with duck done many different ways, even in pizza, but mainly Betutu, or deep-fried or grilled and that wonderful Yogykarta Kalasan, braised in turmeric and coconut milk, the resultant flesh is soft and tender falling off the bone with fork alone.

In Denpasar central Imperial Xi-Fu offers Cantonese and Bejing specials. Their dim sum menu is small but very interesting particularly their pastry Char Siew of diced

Virgin Duck - Best New Cheapie

BBQ pork. Here they are superb, the pastry light, the surface shiny from the egg wash, dotted with sesame seeds, the filling piping hot.

Canggu is one of Bali’s new dining areas. A natural follow on from the hundreds of villas being built in the area. At the super luxurious villa complex Ametis is the Eternal restaurant. No tourist menu of many cuisines here but just traditional Indonesian, the chef many years at Four Seasons Jimbaran, the place simple and relaxing. The quality is obvious. Not far away is Deus Café. Everyone knows about their custom bikes but the wonderful food is yet to be discovered. Simple Thai Malee Yum Pla, fresh fish tossed in mint, coriander and lemongrass and the sensational Sri Lankan Chicken, a biryani of rice and chicken studded with leaves, berries and spices, another great dish of the year!

Crazy Cow - Special Mention

All Spice - Best New Cafe

Umalas was Bali’s first area for private villas for rent. No restaurants just villas. Now they have Crazy Cow. So popular when it opened that it had to close down so it could expand next door and use a larger kitchen. My favourite dish there is their Chorizo Chicken, thinly sliced breast rolled around a chorizo sausage and roasted in the oven. The chorizo is totally unlike those you buy from the

deli. This one is soft, luscious and strongly flavoured, the perfect match for the outer layer of chicken meat. The sausage is prepared on the premises by their Spanish Master Butcher David. Unique!

Kerobokan as usual was the centre of restaurant openings in 2012. The much delayed W Hotel joined the fray with two up-market restaurants Fire and Starfish Bloo. Semara opened their Atrium with an exotic breakfast menu, a rarity for the area, but is already doing a major upgrade to include The Deck. Potato Head opened on the beach, literally, to take on the established trend setters. Bali finally has a high quality Turkish restaurant, Tulip. Their Mezze tray is the real thing presented with all combinations described for your choice, served with that wonderful Turkish bread, baked in the wood-fired oven at front. Many Kebabs and slow cooked meats, very traditional.

EVO replaced Blossom at Sentosa Villas. A revelation with its basic simple Italian fare but all prepared with an attention to detail rare in Indonesia. Tomatoes from San Marzano, Cured meats from Spain and Italy, homemade salami [pigs specially raised, fat ones for the salami, not so fat for the bacon and hams]. Their Claypot of Meatballs, slow cooked with all red ingredients; chianti wine, red onions and tomatoes is the original grandmothers recipe, handed down and faithfully reproduced. The Chicken Cotoletta is perhaps the best example of how ‘simple’ food can be so perfect. A thin slab of chicken breast is coated in bread crumbs combined with a dash of balsamico.

EVO - Best New Restaurant

And then there was Mama San. Everybody knew it was coming, and since opening everyone has visited, reservations are now essential for prime evening dining.

From the Sarong team, the cuisine is what was originally intended for Sarong, street food of Asia via a modern hygienic kitchen. The dumplings are Beijing style stuffed with snapper, chilli and black beans, steamed and full of surprise, they really pack a wallop! From Vietnam Grilled Pork Belly encased in betel leaves. Indian Chicken with betel leaves, ginger, mustard seeds, pickles, lime and coriander. Peking Duck rolled in what are commonly referred to as Mandarin pancakes, with hoi sin, fresh cucumber sticks and green shallots. Mama San has it all!

value.

Gado Gado used to be one of the islands top night spots, now after a high quality renovation Chez Gado Gado is a romantic beachfront restaurant, its tree-lined terrace tables in high demand. Amongst their exotics is Pork Neck, first braised then grilled and stuffed with sage and lemon, served with white beans, roasted onion and peppers.

Legian is family holiday area and Pavone is just what they want. Char-grilled Lamb Cutlets [3 of them], all the way from OZ, are with a coulis of mint and lemon and Cajun potato wedges, many other BBQ and pan fried meats and seafood and all at budget prices. Malo’s appeared opposite old Aussie favourite hotel Rumah Manis just before it was demolished. Chef Marcus is in his 4th Bali restaurant, same Swiss menu, same great food.

Closer to the beach is Sang Ria from the owners of long time favourite Waroeng Asia. Again simple food, BBQ’s [wonderful ribs], oven and stir fries in a most pleasant garden setting. Some evenings non-intrusive live music an added bonus. Shisha Café added to the choice for mid east cuisine, a shisha bar with water pipes and scented tobacco, the food extremely good. Bil Sanayeh a good example, spicy potato and crushed kofta balls between thin slices of unleavened bread.

The Bukit [comprising Uluwatu, Ungasan and Pecatu] is an unusual area. Once not much more than a mountain of dry rock, it is rapidly developing as a budding metropolis of 5 star and boutique hotels, villa complexes and private villas. Yet the area is still thin on the ground for standalone restaurants of quality and value. However whilst the locals are always complaining about their lack of choice when one does open that offers something different [last year with the small great value Vietnamese My Kitchen] they do not support them, so closure is inevitably just months away. A problem they seem to share with the residents of Sanur. Best new openings this year was El Kabron with its Spanish chef ex Barcelona’s famous San Pau restaurant. Atop the cliffs at Pecatu, a place to relax with food and drink. In the hotel/villa scene Finn’s Beach Club opened at the Semara, snacks and pizzas on the beach.

Jimbaran also offers little outside of the hotels and this year no change with the only newcomer of note Topeng, in the new Kupu-Kupu Barong hotel. Their young Belgian chef does it the European way with Salad of Artichokes, Calf Liver in raspberry vinaigrette and the very Flemish Beef in Black Beer.

Nusa Dua has many standalone restaurants but most have a distinct tourist flavour, with many menus almost identical, almost all of which these days have a Russian translation.

Seminyak saw more openings on Sunset Road, none yet to set the world on fire. An up-market version of Sip, same menu and chef as the original, and many Indonesian variations along the busy road. More are opening but most of the car parks are empty. Sushi Hana was one of the few exceptions, modern sushi, pleasant service and good

Sakala - Best New Fine Dining

Ubud’s iconic Bebek Bengil has just opened in Nusa Dua, in a restaurant complex next to The Grand Hyatt. Others at that site are due to open soon.

What happens in 2012? There will be even more activity than 2011 if all the plans and rumours come about. The Mozaic team to open an ocean front restaurant [different name and style] at Batu Belig, Bali Deli to open in Sanur and Ubud, Café Moka to open on the Bypass in Sanur.

That man Marinos will be back with his Mediterranean MY Café behind Ultimo in Kerobokan. Warren Mead returns to Bali [for a short time at Karma Jimbaran] with his simple but effective style of presenting fish so you can actually taste the fish; fresh fish filleted on the premises, dipped in an egg wash to seal the flavour in, then pan fried with olive oil and a dash of butter, with a drizzle of lemon and a sprinkle of sea salt. Perfect!

The Sea Sentosa project at Echo Beach supposedly will have 5 restaurants, some beachfront. First restaurant due to open early 2012.

Etc. etc.

Bali, a gastronomic holiday, every day!

Smaller good value places opened as well. Thai Corner on Petitenget, Bistro Batu Kali on Eat Street, Bar bie Q inside the centre is a giant German beer garden [from the owner of popular Extrablatt] another beer garden is Little Bavaria where Loloan used to be. Also on Eat Street Khaima re-opened with a modern renovation and next door L’entrecote opened with Bali’s first Prix Fixee, salad, beef and dessert.

Along the peninsula at Tandjung Benoa was more action with the opening of Queens of India with the same menu as their Kartika Plaza one. Further along towards the point Sakala is a serious attempt at fine dining. French restaurateur and Maitre d’ Herve Hedbert and French Canadian Chef Frederic Bouley combine to present one of Bali’s best dining experiences, food and service both exemplary. The Carpaccio of Butterfish and Duck Foie Gras [imported from the Lande region of France, coming as two perfect small discs, prepared Torchon style, sitting on rounds of thin warm brioche] are just two examples of their attention to detail, using relatively simple ingredients to produce incredible dishes.

Fine dining but still with that Balinese touch, poolside and overlooking beach and ocean. French Maitre d’ and French Canadian chef produce gastronomic masterpieces turning simple things into food that amazes!

Simple Italian, but with incredible attention to detail. Even the salamis are made on the premises from specially fed pigs raised on a controlled diet. Grandma’s recipes like you have never tasted before.

Best this year and best every year. Following on from their success at Sarong, Mama San present the street food of Asia. All original with nothing toned down for the tourist masses! Reservations essential.

Located in that area of Renon that features 50 other warungs and restaurants but uniquely different to the rest. Duck many different ways even shredded with pineapple and cheese in their thin crisp Hawaiian Pizza…for $3.

Creating Good Karma For Dogs Lee, a six-month old white puppy who was the victim of an at-home castration, was found in a rubbish heap, his body stuffed into a rice bag which was tied tightly around his neck.

When he arrived at Ubud’s Good Karma Vet Clinic his body was so riddled with infection, he was unable to stand. It seemed euthanizing would be the most humane treatment.

But when offered food, Lee accepted. So the staff of Good Karma decided to try to save his life. Today, this sweet little doe-eyed dog who suffers from vision problems as a result of abuse, is well on his way to recovery. Dogs being the most forgiving of creatures, there’s hope Lee may even be adoptable one day soon—thanks to Good Karma.

explains, locals who are willing to pay the adoption fee are more likely to provide food and care for their dogs. BARC monitors its adoptions, making routine home visits to ensure the dogs are receiving adequate care.

to fend for themselves. Once a dog is domesticated it can’t survive on the streets. That’s why Linda’s ideal solution is to educate Balinese on the joys of doggie companionship and urge locals, rather than Westerners, to adopt the dogs.

Due to disease, motor vehicle accidents and intentional infliction of injuries, many of the thousands of still homeless Bali dogs will never become good candidates for adoption.

That’s why Linda has taken on another animal welfare project: She’s in the process of building a dog sanctuary near the current shelter where Linda’s current pack of unadoptable dogs, plus hundreds more, will enjoy permanent homes.

Linda’s success in changing Balinese attitudes is evidenced through her own staff. When current vet tech, Made, first began working for Linda, he cared nothing for dogs; he simply wanted and needed a job. Five years later, Made provides service above and beyond the call of duty. And he’s grown to love dogs.

As a nonprofit with no steady source of funding, BARC relies heavily on donations from individuals, many of whom are animal-lovers from Linda’s native Australia. Several volunteers have become frequent visitors to Bali specifically to help Bali’s dogs.

While BARC’s main focus is dogs, the rescue does step in to assist other species when needed. The shelter is home to one monkey, Bubbles, and Linda is “keen to add another monkey to the BARC family.” Without a baby of her own to nurture, Bubbles is prone to “kidnapping the pups and taking them off to her box.” Since the pups inevitably outgrow Bubbles, Linda “wouldn’t mind adopting another very small species to keep her happy.”

If you’re an expat who is a pet owner, you could probably use some Good Karma of your own. Westerners are often surprised to learn a beautiful, sophisticated veterinary hospital exists in Bali. In keeping with the spirit of healing that prevails in Ubud, Good Karma offers both conventional and alternative therapies, including acupuncture, Chinese medicine and herbs, energy work, nutrition and customized pet foods.

Located on Jl. Raya Pengosekan, Good Karma is a combination hospital, clinic, day spa and boutique.

If you’re a Westerner fortunate enough to enjoy time in Bali, you’ve obviously got some good karma going on. And, if you spend a month or longer of your Bali time in Ubud, you are welcome to volunteer with BARC. Considering the average price of a package volunteer vacation is U.S $1,500 to $3,500 for one to three weeks, excluding airfare, according to San Francisco-based ProWorld, volunteering with BARC is a bargain—it’s free.

Good Karma’s groomers will pamper your precious pooch and coddled kitty. The clinic is also one-stop shopping for your pet. Along with food and treats, you can pick up leashes, collars, harnesses, dog and cat beds, scratching posts, toys, flea medications, shampoos and brushes. Even though you’ll pay third world prices for first class treatment, you’ll still earn some karma points of your own. All Good Karma proceeds are used to support its nonprofit sister organization, Bali (Dog) Adoption & Rehabilitation Centre (BARC), which is saving the lives of thousands of abused, injured and ill Bali street dogs.

Expats who’ve spent a few years in Bali or return year after year are quick to comment on the difference BARC is making in the lives of Bali’s four—and two—legged creatures. Fewer homeless dogs roam the streets, thanks to BARC’s sterilization program, which rounds up dogs, spays or neuters them, and vaccinates them against rabies and other diseases. Healthy street dogs are given collars to distinguish them from dogs who still need treatment, and are released back to their neighborhoods. Dogs and puppies whose injuries or illnesses require longer treatment, however, lose their street creds.

BARC provides care, shelter and adoption services for these socialized, friendly dogs.

Bali dogs are a breed all their own. An ancient mixed breed, Bali dogs are highly intelligent, playful and low maintenance.

They’re also multitalented—they’re wise watchdogs but also fantastic family pets. And they’re amusing: Healthy Bali dogs bop around with their heads and tails held high, looking both ways before crossing the street, with a spring in their step that makes them seem as if they have somewhere important to be.

Good Karma and BARC are the brainchildren of animal rights activist, artist and author Linda Buller, who personifies the old adage, if you need to get something done, ask a busy person.

As an Indonesian citizen who hails from Australia, Linda is able to offer Western standards of pet care with sensitivity to the local culture. Linda’s ultimate goal: For “Balinese to fall in love with the dogs and want to care for them.”

Linda estimates that two thousand of the dogs rescued by BARC/Good Karma have been adopted by local Balinese.

BARC charges 50,000 rupiah per placement because, Linda

You can also support BARC and the new sanctuary through monetary donations, attending local fundraising events and sponsoring one of the shelter’s permanent residents with a nominal stipend that averages U.S. $20.

As a visitor to Bali, mustering sympathy for adult Bali dogs can be challenging. The dogs can appear menacing when you’re surrounded by several of them barking at you as you stroll the streets of Ubud after dark. Most of the time, the dogs mean no harm. But it can be difficult to see Bali dogs as man’s best friend when they seem to be channeling their inner wolf.

Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Jon Franklin credits dogs with man’s ability to dominate the animal kingdom.

Franklin’s book, The Wolf in the Parlor (Henry Holt, 2009), explores “the eternal connection between humans and dogs” through the millennia. After 20 years of research, Franklin concluded that dogs domesticated us as much as we domesticated them. It stands to reason that dogs have evolved into a species that wants, above all else, human companionship.

For most dogs in Bali, that may never be an option.

Even when well-intentioned Westerners adopt the dogs, giving them loving homes, there’s often no happy ending for the Bali dog. Many Westerners end up returning to their own countries or simply moving on, leaving their well-cared for dogs behind

Grey, a large Bali dog with a mean bark but no bite, arrived at BARC last year after Linda received a call reporting a dying dog. Covered in mangy scabs with virtually no fur, Grey was in bad shape, but since he belonged to a Balinese family who agreed to take better care of him in the future, Linda returned him healed to his home. A year later another call came in.

Grey was back in the same boat. Linda sent her staff to collect him again. This time Grey will remain a permanent resident of BARC. Other permanent residents in the sanctuary include dogs that were struck by cars, leaving them partially paralyzed. Another dog, Jodi, was either beaten or hit by a car leaving his jaw permanently mangled. He’s only able to open his mouth wide enough to eat pureed foods. If these dogs had wound up in other animal shelters, including those in the U.S., they would have most likely been euthanized. Linda is an exceptional philanthropist because of her policy of euthanizing only when the dog’s suffering cannot be alleviated through medical treatment.

Establishing a dog rescue, sanctuary and vet clinic in Bali is no small feat. It takes tremendous determination and creativity, both of which Linda Buller has in spades. As an artist, Linda has been painting since age 13; her works have been consistently exhibited throughout Australia for the past 40 years. Commissioned by the city of Preston in Australia to paint a mural for its marketplace, Linda’s work has garnered critical acclaim. In Bali, the proceeds of Linda’s work are used to help support her beloved Bali dogs.

Pep Talk Required

No Need to Duck

When Pepito Express opened on Jl Raya Uluwatu near GWK on the Bukit a couple of years ago, the occupants of The Cage along with many other nearby residents rushed its doors. Inside there was not only a good range of products often otherwise unobtainable in Bali shops, but also aisles down which one could progress without first having to become bulimic to fit. It was a treat. Sadly, and no doubt in search of immediate feet through the door rather than a steady build-up of high-spending local consumers, things have changed. The place has become a calling point for huge buses which disgorge crowds of confused and apparently impecunious Taiwanese and Korean tourists (they never seem to understand the marked price or have the right money). The aisles have been stuffed with convenience foods (seaweed snacks seem to loom large) and there is no longer room to wheel your trolley down them with even the vague hope that you might find a regular Oreo as well as your normal range of western consumer products.

Sakinah Nauderer, the decorative and delightfully enigmatic proprietor of Senggigi’s Asmara Restaurant – a place of fine resort when in Lombok – tells us her Christmas plans this year include no more rubbery local ducks. Imported turkey will fill that role (and a lot of tummies) this season.She plans a Christmas Brunch Buffet on the day itself, starting from 12 noon, and at 1.30pm the children’s gospel choir from Ampenan will entertain guests with appropriate vocals. This Christmas treat costs Rp175K for adults and Rp50K for children aged six to 12. If you’re under six, you don’t pay at all. There’s a lucky draw after the turkey and the choir.

One evening recently when The Diary and Distaff called in on a substantial resupply mission the place was impossible.

The aisles had assumed trade store dimensions (and the assorted obstacle courses of cardboard cartons that goes with this genre of shopping); the staff apparently had better things to do than look after customers; and the salad shelves were full of listlessly limp post-greens. We may just have hit them on a particularly bad night, but the result of this un-Pepito-like experience was that the facilities of our formerly favourite emporium much further away, Lotus on the bypass at Jimbaran, suddenly looked rather attractive again.

Leap Before You Look One of the more engaging of the local habits is the practice of walking out into the traffic and signalling a sort of pelanpelan (slowly-slowly) instruction to oncoming drivers and riders. It’s a way of getting across an otherwise virtually gridlocked road, certainly. In many ways it is not dissimilar to the happy habit in Hanoi, Vietnam, where pedestrians wishing to cross the most frenetic of roads (and worse, intersections) simply plunge into the mayhem and walk steadily and on a fixed course in their chosen direction. They are confident the ubiquitous motorcycles will miss them.

The buses sometimes don’t, though that’s another matter.

But (that essential codicil!) you have to know what you’re doing. It helps, too, to know where you’re going. If you are unsure of either of these things, and especially if unsure of both, do not attempt to tempt the traffic.

Near Ungasan crossroads the other day there was a lovely little incident. A chap in a vehicle – a Bule of course; no fists would have been raised otherwise – who was (un) happily crawling along at 10kmh in the lengthy line of traffic behind yet another defective and overloaded yellow truck, was horribly surprised when a passing local gent suddenly leaped from the footpath (sic), put up his hand, and walked out straight in front of him. The vehicle’s driver slammed on the anchors: It’s so much easier than finding out the idiot you’ve just nudged happens to have 5,000 cousins in the immediate vicinity. In true Bali fashion, the incident was locally viewed as entirely the fault of the Bule. After all, if he hadn’t been on the island, he wouldn’t have been involved.

Jingle Belles The Diary got a lovely invitation from jewellery designer Tricia Kim – we go back such a long way, she and we, all the way back to the 2009 Yak awards where we ran into each other upon the steps at the then new Cocoon and didn’t know each other from a bar of soap, something now pleasantly rectified – to attend the launch of her 2012 collection on December 7. It would have been delightful to be there, for Tricia’s svelte and energetic company through a relaxing afternoon, the new collection of course, and the afternoon tea including cupcakes (can’t resist them) and sandwiches along with mojitos. A complimentary mani-pedi available on a first come, first served basis would have been good too. The claws could do with a buffing.

And then there was the venue: Di Astana Villa at Kerobokan (it’s in Jl Batu Belig on the way down to the beach there).

Unfortunately we were in Ubud on other duties at the time and couldn’t make it. But we’ll catch up with collection later.

C/E/U-07 Sept. 11

Here’s the menu: Welcome drink and bruchetta; creamy lobster soup; stuffed turkey with gravy and cranberry sauce (prawns are available for non-turkey-eaters); spiced red cabbage; cauliflower and broccoli cheese; potato croquettes and roast potatoes. Desserts on offer are cheesecake, apple pie and chocolate cake with whipped cream. There’s coffee and tea to follow if by then you’re not as stuffed as your turkey.

Cook Up Janet DeNeefe’s new book collecting recipes and photos of Bali and just published by Pan Macmillan Australia has been snapped up by a keen cook in Australia who – naturally enough – read about it in The Diary. He tells us he’ll be trying out his personal top choice from the menus when next he arranges a candlelight dinner. After our original item in The Diary last issue, DeNeefe told us copies of her book (Bali: The Food of my Island Home) were a little scarce hereabouts. They were “still in Surabaya.” We sympathise.

So much that should be cleared through the wharves and customs in no time flat instead finds itself in limbo as a result of that pernicious and endemic disease, Surabaya Syndrome.

Hill Town Daze We took some very special visitors to Ubud recently – The Diary’s sister and her husband, who spent a week with us just out of the UK via Bangkok on their way to two months in Australia. The Diary is a Wayan – so is the Distaff, which occasionally creates problems of precedence – and the Brit Sis is a Made. All this was made clear over a gin and tonic or three. Ubud was its usual self: spiritual, quaint, eclectic and jammed with huge charabancs quite unsuitable for the little town’s streets. We stayed at Beji Ubud Resort at Sanggingan, where sadly, this time, the internet connection was rather below par; we dined one night at Café des Artistes, refreshed ourselves at The Three Monkeys (de rigueur for diarists who die for pumpkin ravioli and who are now looking forward to trying out the new T3M at Sanur) and did a few other eating and musical things, including the new-look Jazz Café. Oh yes, and we made sure we walked right past Naughty Nuri’s. We like a little elbow room with our eating experience rather more than we like the in-crowd.

Sister Made was on her way to see our other sister (she’s a Nyoman; there’s a Ketut brother who lives in the USA) who long ago made the chilly choice to reside in Canberra, the country’s notional capital 600 metres above sea level in the frankly frigid Southern Tablelands. The Diary worked in that fair city for some years, on a FIFO basis, and was always glad his office was in Parliament House. It always has a plentiful supply of hot air. The travelling sister’s Australian itinerary does include more sensible parts of the country, including tropical – and thus truly warm – Queensland.

Merry Christmas Christmas has long since been a global retail opportunity, a celebration of consumerism and a far cry indeed from its origins in the Christian faith and its belief that Jesus Christ was born in a cow byre in Bethlehem. Nonetheless, amid all the commercial pap, it does serve to remind you that charity and goodwill, along with forgiveness, are essential elements of life.

So Merry Christmas to all.

at Canggu & Kuta

This fortnight starts with Mercury going direct. It joins once more with the North Node in Sagittarius on the 28th and moves past its turning degree on the 1st January. Venus moves into Aquarius and the Sun into Capricorn marking the Solstice on the 22nd. Jupiter also turns direct in Taurus this fortnight. The Sun and Moon meet at 3 degrees Capricorn to mark the New Moon in the very early hours of Christmas morning. Most of this fortnight is spent integrating the energies of this latest pair of eclipses. Remembering that the theme is information, higher and mundane, as well as the Truth seeding qualities of Sagittarius.

No doubt there have been exposures in the life of all. Within the big picture alternate media is busy covering those events which as yet haven’t made mainstream. There is a deluge of information coming our way which is setting us on a new course.

(Mercury conjoin the North Node.) As Jupiter rolls forward, and in fact all Planets are in direct motion until the end of January, much change is in store for us and our Planet. Pluto joins the Sun at the very end of the month when light will be shed on the nature of these changes. Neptune is getting set to enter Pisces, the sign which it rules, to bring a huge dose of unconditional love, empathy and divinity to the Planet. The revolutionary energies are being generated within the hearts of the peacemakers, making them spiritual activists and they operate in defenselessness and through actions based on Love.

ARIES: Mars triggers the nodal axis at the beginning of the fortnight prompting you to move in the direction of your soul’s calling. This may mean an altering of plans for some while those of you who are in alignment already with your higher purpose are simply tweaking it. Mars in Virgo brings a lot of organizational skills to the fore in everyone and in particular you. All those jobs you’ve been putting off forever can now be completed with ease and better to get some of them done now before Mars turns retrograde at the end of January. Perhaps it would be a good idea also to complete them now rather than later.

LIBRA: Venus moves into Aquarius and this is a good thing for you as you will bring a little more enquiry into your relationships and be able to take a little more distance and add objectivity to emotional situations. Saturn is still forging ahead in your sign and this Moon cycle pulls heavily on you with the squares to the New and Full Moons. For you the eclipse portal was a bonus, but these next few weeks will be more the challenging ones. The outlet during this time, could be that you find some more creative projects that you can do solo this coming month. Take some time-out also, just for you. A little introspection maybe.

TAURUS: Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius this fortnight; a distinct change of pace. Moving from the solidity of Capricorn to the airy and energetic sign of Aquarius brings a lot more communication and the potential of experimentation to your relationship. Jupiter also moving forward in your sign at the end of the fortnight bringing movement, good fortune and growth. As mentioned, this is a time of deeper Truths and insights being revealed. Holding onto old beliefs and perspectives which are not in alignment with the new you, will start to feel very uncomfortable. Let this then be a signal that your thoughts are out of whack.

SCORPIO: The Sun brings light to Pluto at the end of the month to kick start your New Year resolutions. It’s a good deal about work intentions and goal setting. You work well with those who know how to stick it out for the long haul. Partnerships then may be under stress as you reassess them. What worked before may not be working at all now. Be willing to make the changes because, as I’ve mentioned before, this is a process which is going to take some time, so any players who aren’t up to holding up their end of the deal better let go now. If you continue to support them in unhealthy ways, only you will suffer in the long run.

GEMINI: This is an opportunity to finalize all the details from the past few weeks. By the end of the month all will be complete and you will be ready to bring in your New Year intentions. There has been such an expansion to your field of perception that it will actually take a moment to integrate the details.

The South Node in your sign connecting with Planets during this time has brought people from the past into your life. Some of these meetings are also for completions.

Things that weren’t quite done before or maybe you owed some money or favors. All of this will allow you to move forward with a clean slate as 2012 begins.

SAGITTARIUS: Jupiter finally moves forward again and you feel the surge of energy unleashed by that at the end of the fortnight. Remember however that it is in the sign of Taurus so it won’t be too dynamic. This is the time to be thorough and with your tendency to act hastily this could present a bit of a challenge in itself. Nothing wrong with a challenge however, as they nearly always bring growth. In a busy and hectic World, the slowing down of pace is sometimes a welcome relief, maybe even for you. A little time-out to luxuriate in some comfortable situations, could be your next step. Quite possibly, you were burning the candles both ends recently.

CANCER: After the eclipse portal comes a natural settling as we move towards the New Moon in Capricorn, which will be a much more sombre cycle leading up to the Full Moon in your sign. You may want to scrutinize your work or career situation and be prepared to spend some time with family members early in the New Year. First things first though, allow the dust to settle after the tumult of December.

Capricorn your polar opposite sign, is calling you into some more serious rolls during this normally festive time.

Let the seriousness not deter you from having a good time. Try adding a little pleasure to the work schedule.

CAPRICORN: Almost that time of year when the Birthday swings by again and heralds in a brand new solar year as well as calendar. A bit of a double whammy then as far as intentions go. You have great manifesting ability and the least procrastination you do, the better. Set your priorities, get your planner out and set yourself some goals and strategies for 2012. There are some strong foundational aspects to your chart with Pluto in your sign, adding a good deal of punch and Jupiter in Taurus bringing stability and strength and then the Mars in Virgo the ability to bring it all together through great organization.

LEO: The Sun in Sagittarius offered you a little reprieve from the humdrum. As we now head into the Solstice and the earthy days of Capricorn you may find things a little less frivolous. Venus in your polar opposite sign of Aquarius is also bringing a little more detachment to your relationships. For those who didn’t manage to get away for that adventure, you may have to wait a little longer for the next opportunity to come your way. Often this time of year brings a lot of hard work or concern about money. A good thing Uranus in Aries is provoking the fiery and unpredictable nature in us all or we would be terribly bored.

AQUARIUS: Uranus is shoving its way around the skies in Aries compelling you to access that rebellious part of your nature. Well at least that individualized aspect of yourself, which knows exactly what it wants and will go about getting it. Challenging the Solstice Sun in Capricorn sets the stage for the next few months of your life. Radical change is occurring in many areas of your life, including the work situation. A great time to brainstorm new ideas and get the input of others with regard to how to move forward in your life. Challenges will strengthen your resolve over the coming years and you could find yourself a keen advocator of new ideas.

VIRGO: Mars in Virgo is bringing those bookkeeping skills to the fore. A great time to deal with all those finer details of life. Sorting out endless reams of facts and figures may not sound too inviting, but this is a good time to finally get things in order.

Mercury retrograde was enough to drive you a little crazy and in that reckless sign of Sagittarius it didn’t lend to the finer details. Mars too goes retrograde from the end of January until mid-April, so probably a good idea to get as much done as you possibly can. Be forewarned that a retrograde Mars in Virgo has the tendency to make you a little scattered. Learn to allow, accept and surrender.

PISCES: Mars in Virgo opposing your Pisces Planets could bring a little nervous tension into your physical body. The way out is through aligning your energy body in nature and anything else that quiets the mind. The tendency is to think too much and this is taking you away from the synchronic flow of life. Perhaps a daily regime may help over the coming months. Something that keeps you as stress free as possible. The good news is that Jupiter and Pluto are actually supporting your transformation and growth at this time and much is actually happening, although you may feel stretched, know that its a good thing and stay happy.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid!

By Vaughan Hatch

C/CE/G-24 August 11

PT. BAYUS CARGO INTERNATIONAL AIR & SEA FREIGHT FORWARDING

What does ‘makemit’ mean?

If one of your Balinese friends has just come back from a ceremony looking decidedly weary-eyed, there’s a good chance that he or she has just ‘makemit’ at a temple ceremony. This is high Balinese and means “to stay up all night ‘protecting’ the temple as the ceremony goes on until the wee hours”. ‘Makemit’ is viewed by the Balinese as a noble commitment, a pious act that many people carry out regularly when there are important ceremonies.

Even outside of ceremonial times, staying up all night to keep an eye over the temple grounds is called ‘makemit’. Interestingly enough, protecting a palace (puri) is also referred to using the same word. Some people mistaken the word to mean ‘sleep over’ because most people fall asleep at some time in the night—as you do when you are sleep deprived!

For the young people, it’s a chance to get to know each other better, gossip with friends, and embark on romantic conquests. In fact, it’s not uncommon for a night of makemit to result in a belly bulge on the part of the girl within a few months of the ceremony: I imagine they’d stepped out of the temple grounds for a few minutes at some time of the night to commit (‘kemit’?) this act of nature!

Staying up all night to protect something can apply to other rituals outside of the temple setting. ‘Magebagan’ refers to protecting a corpse in preparation for burial or cremation.

The people on watch are invariably men who take this opportunity (probably to keep themselves awake) to gamble on a card game called cekian whilst indulging in a tad of a fiery brew known as arak.

Another place that is protected during the midnight to twilight hours is the community center (banjar). This is simply called ‘majaga’, which is similar to the Indonesian word ‘menjaga’ Vaughan Hatch has immersed himself with Balinese culture, living with locals in Bali since 1997. He speaks fluent Indonesian and Balinese, and is unashamedly addicted to playing gamelan. A linguistic, archaeology and publishing graduate, he works for indOKiwi ‘linguistic and cultural solutions’ in Sanur.

TIPPY TOE

A group of inspired year 6 students from Bali International School (BIS) handed over 62 Green Footprints to the 2011 United Nations Climate Conference held in Durban South Africa last month. The footprints’ significance?

Well each step represents an environmentally responsible mode of travel made by the students during the period of a week. While many cities can include train and bus in their list the Bali students were looking at more “back to basics” styles such as walking and bicycle riding, skateboarding and scooters.“We wanted to show that Indonesia cares about its planet and that we want a greener and brighter future.

We must look after our environment and ensure we share our planet.”

Congratulations to our future leaders!

HORTON HEARS A POO!

Seriously...what do you do with 100 tons of elephant poo a month? Bali Safari Park has come up with a unique and unusual strategy - Poo Paper. You can only hope the elephants understand the humour here. Beautiful little gifts sets literally selling their crap. Let’s get some perspective on that amount though.

Imagine a bunch of about 10 bananas - now imagine 100 000 bunches of them! The park is able to use about 400 kilos a month (fresh is best!) to make the paper, the other 99 600 kilos is utilized as compost.

To make each piece of paper you’ll need a handful of poop. The poo is soaked and rinsed then put in a really large pot and cooked for a while until it is really soft. Make sure you label that pot! The poo or whatever it is now…gloop? is then rinsed and laid out to dry. Old newspapers, office paper, school books are shredded and everything is blended together to form a delicious slurry which then goes on to fill the presses to make paper. Why elephant poo and not lion poo? Think herbivore and carnivore! Elephant poo is lovely fibrous stuff;

BUZZ

By Monsoon Wanita lion’s poo is just stinky dead animal flesh.

Ultimately the paper has a lovely smooth surface and a textured side also. I’m thinking great novelty Christmas gift idea….

And on that note….last column before Christmas!

GIFT WRAP - I am not a fan of cello tape, but I do love ribbon.

Lovely silky reams of the stuff. Wrap up presents old style, fabric or paper and the ribbon can then be reused.

ELECTRONICS - I hear Nokia and Sony top the Greenpeace list of environmentally friendly products.

BOOKS - if you want to avoid contributing to the further abolishment of Indonesia’s rainforest then you’ll need to be careful about your kiddy book purchases. www.readinglist.ran.org has a list of all the books they know NOT to be rainforest pulp fiction.

CHECK IT TWICE - While I adore my grandmother it was very hard to love the super kitsch little aubergine ornament that had a face, and was suppose to sit on the shelf staring at us with its little legs dangling over the edge.

But then gifts don’t always have to be practical either, that would absolutely remove the merriment. For instance those cheap towels and that plastic stove lighter purchasable from any regular supermarket were a significant lowlight Christmas moment….Mum. Just before I buy things I try and ask myself “is the person I am giving this to going to appreciate this as much as I do at this particular moment?”

Getting caught up in all that mesmerising consumerism at Christmas can turn you into a psychopathic shopper frankly. I get it wrong sometimes.

Wish lists are VERY useful – as long as the listed gifts are within the agreed budget. If you are not the sort of person who can bull’s eye gift giving why not opt for an experiential voucher? In my home country you can buy vouchers from massive ticketing companies which your recipient can choose to spend on a sports, art, theatre or music event of their choice. Fun, frivolous, and by Jove, litter free!

My Favourite Things

By : Ruby Jackson C/G/I-30 Nov 11

This column is non-advertorial and written by an expat who has lived in Indonesia for nearly 20 years. The island has changed during this time, as has the whole world, but there are some places, things, people or events that remain as good as anyone can remember, for various reasons, or, recently opened places, arrived people or new organisations that are worth a mention. Listed below are those for this edition, in no particular order, as the island is a vibrant place that moves progressively with many wonderful things on offer. Bali has come a long way and My Favourite Things explores what remains interesting for us all to experience.

As 2012 slowly creeps upon us, it’s that time of the year to once again start thinking about New Years’ resolutions. The top 3 are always related in some way to becoming more health conscious – give up smoking – start that diet (stop chocolate, cakes, alcohol etc) – and get a gym membership, more importantly, use it! Here are some pointers on these as below:

komangARNAWA FITNESS A few months ago the gym at Bali Sentosa in Petitenget was renamed komangARNAWA fitness and has become the base from where body shaping champion Komang Arnawa runs body shaping programs and fat loss retreats.

Rather than a gym focused on catering to the masses and luring clients with aerobic classes and membership deals etc, the focus of komangARNAWA fitness is tailored more to the client who is ready to make a serious commitment to achieving results. Personal goals vary from client to client, some wish to build mass, others to shape & tone etc however, provided an individual has the discipline to follow Komang’s recommendations, incredible results are guaranteed.

which the following are mention-worthy. Colonial Living has been mentioned here before, and is at present going through renovations, due to be brand spanking and sparkly in January 2012 – with vegetarian and organic selections a daily fixture, along with juices and live foods. Situated on Jl. Kunti 2, which runs across the By Pass continuing from the Bali Deli road in Seminyak. Over in Sanur, Café Batu Jimbar has been consistently serving up organic salads and foods, health juices and snacks for well over 20 years now. They have also always sold their produce in an informal market way, but now have a little store attached to the café (progression!). Café Batu Jimbar is found on Jl. Danau Tambingan, on the main drag, just next to the Jenggala Factory Outlet (which has parking). Over in the Ubud and Canggu areas, Bali Buddha has outlets in both places, with an identical menu; organic salads,vegan, vegetarian and macrobiotic menus, amazing juices and baked goods – with prices that verge on the ridiculously cheap. Delivery is also welcomed, as is a small store of health foods for home purchases. www.balibuddha.biz (with menu online).

Over in the busier Seminyak areas, there is Down to Earth Café on Jalan Oberoi, which is eat in and delivery over more of the same aforementioned – healthy everything, as well as its sister café Zula situated on Jalan Double Six, just near the top on the left as you drive down. Both these places also offer De-tox kits and a good selection of vitamins and essential oils. The Daily Platter is good value and contains only raw foods – perfect for the 2012 program!

STOP THE EVIL WEED! Smoking is a hard habit to be kicked, and there are some interesting solutions offered here. One is the acupuncture method, where the doctor will give sessions and leave the patient with strategically placed needles (more like small tack pins) in the outer ear and lobe with sticky plaster over the top! When need arises you are supposed to massage the needles gently until the urge stops. I have had friends who have done this, successfully and ones who are still walking around with a band-aid on their ears! Bali Acupuncture Centre is located on Jl.

JEMME JEWELLERY KOMANG ARNAWA AT THE SENTOSA

Currently Komang is training with a popular photographer friend of mine on the island. The photographer’s work schedule only allows her to commit to a milder form of Komang’s intended fat loss program. However, in terms of her eating habits, she has altered her food choices significantly to ones recommended by Komang and more in line with achieving fat loss. Over 5 weeks she has lost a total of 15kg. (33lbs). In 2010, Komang directed fat loss retreats in Goa, India and later was invited to Napoli, Italy to create training programs and eating plans for athletes preparing for a national body shaping competition.

Now in Bali, his programs are very specific and unique to the individual. The elements of the physical training will vary significantly from client to client in light of their lifestyle habits and physical limitations. Weigh-ins and recording a client’s body measurements weekly allows Komang to assess whether or not a particular physique is responding as it should to a nominated style of training and diet regime.

He provides weekly reports to his clients as both an educational and motivational tool. One of Komang’s most prominent strengths as a trainer is his ‘level of care’ towards his clients. He really gets a kick out of helping people attain their highest potential and works tirelessly (outside of the gym sessions) to ensure individual programs support individual needs. If his clients can find the discipline to commit to his structure of training, Komang’s personal commitment to them is threefold. A four-week program with that dreaded word ‘commitment’ will see results! Cut off jean shorts here I come! More info on www.bodiku.com or E: fit@bodiku.com

HEALTHY FOODS & THEIR RESTAURANTS Bali has a lot of fresh produce, early morning markets are and have been a tradition on the island for centuries, for their social aspect as well as commercial. Thank goodness there is a nice little choice of health food restaurants of

After all the hard work of the above we do need little ‘pick-us-ups’ and jewellery is not at all bad for the health – on the contrary – it makes me positively glow with delight. It isn’t for anything that European designer Luke Stockley picked up Bali’s own The Yak Magazine’s Award for Best Jewellery Designer 2011. During the month of December his staff are offering interesting discounts on LUKE STOCKLEY AT JEMME certain designs and pieces at his showroom in Petitenget (just in front of SILQ next to Tulip), as well as darling gift packaging completely for free. Pieces start at Rp. 195,000 (wowsers) up to the max out of credit cards, if so inclined! Better add to my 2012 resolution list NOT to buy so much jewellery! www.jemmebali.com

Art Today Jewels Today Many know that Kalimantan has diamonds, although they`re rarely found for sale in Indonesia as the good ones are directly shipped to foreign shores. But most people don’t know that Indonesia produces some of the most beautiful opals in the world— although still in very small quantities. The opals are all of volcanic origin and just about every type of opal exists here. Just about everyone knows that Indonesia (Lombok, Ambon et al) is an important source of South Sea Pearls, but the amazing semi-precious stones are still little known in the jewelry world. There are so many people in Bali designing, making, selling and, of course, wearing jewelry of all kinds that the subject of gemstones should be of interest to nearly everyone.

Fossilized Coral has to be the most important of these, and in fact although some are beginning to come on to the market, the top quality translucent, multicolor Fossilized Coral is rarely available. These stones when properly cut and polished look like flowers or bouquets and are extraordinarily beautiful--and this remarkable gem ONLY EXISTS IN INDONESIA. Amber is the oldest gem known to man and has been found in 10,000-year-old archaeological digs. Amber from the Baltic area, Central America and China are well known, but now amber has been found in Kalimantan and Sumatra, and in Sumatra the rarest of all amber types, the blue color, has been discovered.

Chrysocolla, a beautiful blue stone resembling turquoise, is also found here. Although it resembles turquoise (which does not exist in Indonesia), it is harder and therefore longer lasting (turquoise chips, scratches and discolors easily as it is so soft—and in fact most turquoise you see these days is processed in one way or another).

Agates and Jaspers are found all over the world, but Indonesia has some of the best and most unique of them. The Pancawarna (Sanskrit for “five colors”) can actually have up to seven different colors in one gem, often resembling abstract paintings or even landscapes, and the “Rose Agate” (somewhat like the common Moss Agate—but the “moss” is red!) very occasionally has red roses against a clear white background,and is really gorgeous gem material.

There are also drusy stones (with tiny natural crystals growing on the base rock).

Drusy stones exist all over the world, but only Indonesia has bright red drusy jasper.

And there are amazing jet-black tektites (one of the few truly natural jet black stones in the world) from Biliton Island; and all kinds of shell fossil, wood fossil and other fossil materials that can be cut into beautiful, elegant stones. And no one knows they’re here.

If this subject interests you you`re in luck, because The Tonyraka Art Gallery in Ubud will hold an exhibition: ART TODAY, a highly important exhibition of paintings by Indonesia’s top contemporary artists including Made Winanta, Chusin Setiadikara, Mangu Putra, Sutjipto Adi, Budhiana, Tjandra Kirana and FX Harsono. And it will include JEWELS TODAY, Paintings by Angels, the Amazing Gemstones of Indonesia and Jewels by Irwan from December 17th, 2011 through January 15th, 2012.

Irwan is an American multi-award-winning designer who has lived and worked in Indonesia for over 40 years. He now uses Indonesian gemstones only in his design work as well as stingray tails, rare tropical woods, damascene steel and other weird and wonderful Indonesian materials.

Jewelry makers, buyers, sellers, and wearers should not miss this exhibition—there is absolutely nothing like it in Bali.

UBUD WRITERS READERS FESTIVAL

Reading Photographs

Photographs are perceptions made visible

by Tamarra Kaida The other day, while wallowing in reflection, I started pondering what books and which writers framed my intellectual pursuits and shaped my aesthetic passions. In other words, what were the books that mattered when I was young and in search of what I wanted to do with my life. The first two books to raise their heads from the vault of memory were: from childhood, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, followed in my teens by Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poetry. Significantly, I came upon The Photographers Eye and Looking at Photographs both by John Szarkowski. These two books altered and broadened my idea of what photography really was and hinted at what it could be for me.

Just as any story teller or poet might do.

The Photographer’s Eye helped me to understand the structure of photographs. The underlying system that helped convey meaning silently via: the thing itself, the detail, the frame, time and vantage point. Szarkowski began this book on aesthetics as if he were Sherlock Holmes.

This book is an investigation of what photographs look like, and of why they look that way. It is concerned with photographic style and with photographic tradition: with the sense of possibilities that a photographer today takes to his work.

As I reread this statement some 30 years after my first encounter with Szarkowski’s thoughts, I marveled at how much those possibilities have multiplied due to digital technology and how much the internal structure of photographs as pictures still incorporated the structural paradigm he had laid out in 1966. Some things hold up and some change.

When I was 25 Looking At Photographs ignited my imagination and deepened my love of photographs. Even as a budding photographer I was never interested in the gadgetry or even the mechanics of photography. It was the images themselves and the fact that they could be read, interpreted, analyzed, sleuthed and appreciated that fascinated me. And, it was John Szarkowski’s tender and pithy essays that made me realize that there was more to looking than mere seeing or just gazing at photographs, that art of all kinds was powerful and delectable. And that it was not just a pleasure reserved for the elite effete but available

C/U/I-07 Sept 11

to ordinary people like me who wanted to “get it ”. Please allow me to pass the treat of Szarkowski’s thinking about a photograph on to you by this example of Manuel Bravo’s 1935 photograph entitled, Woman Combing Her Hair.

SUPER MARKET

DELTA DEWATA U

B

U

D

Why is this beautiful young woman not bathed in a flood of light, illuminating her youth and her pleasure? Because she is a prisoner in the tower. For what pretender prince did this dark Rapunzel let down her hair? Or for what sacrifice is she preparing herself, to please what cruel spirit? Is it the fringe of her shawl, behind her on the floor, or a scuttling crab?

Manuel Alverez Bravo was born in the city of Mexico, behind the cathedral, near the place where the temples of the ancient Mexican gods once stood. Diego Rivera said of his photographs that they were Mexican in their format, their content, and their cause, and that they were therefore full of irony and anguish.

Or Think of all the pictures of young women with mirrors, all asking the same question: Is my beauty immortal? Or asking, like the ancient Mexican poet, “Will I not leave anything of myself behind on this earth?”

As I re-read this text beside the photograph of the enigmatic girl engulfed in shadow I also wondered if I would leave anything behind, anything of value and pleasure, after I departed this earth. It is the yearning of all artists and writers to leave something worthy behind, to matter when we are no longer in the room.

It is this desire coupled with the delight in

By Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1902-2002) creating something from within that compels us to create. It isn’t me that matters but rather what I did, thought, felt and understood.

The 100 photographs selected from the collection of the Museum Of Modern Art in New York that John Szarkowski chose to write about today seem rather tame, perhaps too quaint for our ceaselessly busy era. They are all black and white photographs because that is what most art photographs were in 1974. (The color barrier was broken in 1976 when the first solo show of color photographs called William Eggleston’s Guide was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art). Today I realize that it wasn’t so much the actual photographs that had pulled me to the field of art photography but rather the varied and interesting ideas about them. In some dimly lit room in my then young mind a flash bulb popped and I grasped that photography included story telling, psychology, aesthetics, art, history and science. One didn’t have to give up other interests as they could be incorporated.

Most of all I realized that the personal could become the universal.

As I revisited Looking At Photographs my pleasure compounded with Szarkowski’s words that had illuminated the field of art photography and affected the course of my life. Pictures are not worth a thousand words they are worthy of volumes. I hope the 2012 ANZ Ubud Writers and Readers Festival will have even more picture books as part of the festival’s discussion and panel offerings.

Both of Szarkowski’s books can be purchased at reduced rates from amazon.com.

UBUD ROBIN LIM WINS CNN AWARD? Such is Ubud’s faith in this good woman, inspiration behind birthing centre Yayasan Bumi Sehat, that we hear the comment; “After Robin wins the award” all around Ubud this week. The winner is/ was officially announced at 9am, Monday December 12, Ubud time. It’s only a few years since the tiny beginnings of an international success story.

Whether the world agrees or not, congratulations go to Robin, her current team, the early visionaries, including Brenda from Bali Buddha (now running her own birthing centre Rumah Sehat Medani, and her cafes a long-term sponsor), Dr Bobbi, Ibu Budi, and overseas supporters aplenty such as Katherine Bramhall. If you helped but aren’t on this list, you are also important.

Great things happen because of the quality of the people surrounding the action. Robin knows no one is an island.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET FIFTEEN One of Ubud’s finest success stories, Jazz C a f é , celebrates its fifteenth birthday this month, with a Caribbeanstyle party and music from Suriane, Jamaica and Trinidad with Kaseko Stars.

If you are prompt Ubud News readers, you will read this in time to join the revelry on December 15; free buffet from 7-9pm, music till very late.

HATI-HATI MAP Thank you to ex-pat Eiji Han Shimizu, who created a “warning” map for friends visiting and using motorbikes around Ubud. He posted this map on Google maps – search HATI-HATI Ubud, Bali – highlighting places where people should drive very carefully to avoid various road hazards, accidents and police checks. It is downloadable, and anyone can add other danger spots, with relevant comments.

What a great idea! Pity we can’t mark the streets where November/ December’s lunatic tourists forget they are on a road and walk down the middle, motor bikes having to go past them on either side. We who live here know that the footpaths aren’t wonderful (indeed sometimes they don’t exist).

However ignoring them is not the safest decision.

These people LOOK like they come from countries with road rules and helmets etc, but they step out off the footpath without looking AT ALL, let alone left right left. I wonder why this time of year is the worst.

They don’t all look like Aussie schoolies.

CHRISTMAS RAW OR TRAD? Five years ago, my first year in Bali, I asked what people did for Christmas lunch, and eventually cooked for 36 new friends with my friend Randall, b e c a u s e nothing much was available.

This year, Randall’s Taksu Restaurant in Jl Gautama, offers a “raw food” or traditional Christmas lunch, including their delicious Betutu smoked turkey, for 220,000 rp. P: 0361 971 490.

Or if you want party hats and party poppers, crackers, classic old-school Christmas songs and a very tall Santa, go for Chillout Lounge on Jl Sandat. You’ll get a full traditional Christmas FEAST, with every trimming ever invented, and mince pies!

Chillout’s garden setting is perfect for a festive, family day, and a Raffle and small auction will raise money for the Sacred Childhoods Foundation. Set menu price (food only): 200,000rp or 180,000rp for Chillout Lounge Members. Lunch at 1pm

The retreat will share insights that have helped thousands heal the wounds of love, thus paving the way to the love and intimacy people long for in life. Held at Villa Gaia from December 23-30, there’s an optional New Year’s Eve party - perhaps a chance to try out new patterns. Jeremiah is a Jungian therapist based in northern California.

HOME DELIVERED HEAVEN I’m sick at home –not good. I’m grumpy/ self-pitying; not good either. So I think …. comfort food. I google “best steak in Ubud” - I could be a vegetarian if it wasn’t for meat.

Several choices; first call to Café Des Artistes but alas, tho I can get a takeaway, they won’t deliver. Take a memo, one personal delivery driver for my next life.

I browse again, call some incorrect numbers.

Sigh. I cheer at the thought that next month there’ll be more choices, when Kebun, KAFE’s answer to life in the Mediterranean, and the new resto Il Giardino get their delivery teams sorted.

Eventually I call Cinta Grill, who don’t normally deliver either, but make an exception, bless them. I add a two-for-one Classic Mohito and I sit back with a contented sigh, listening to the magical sounds of the temple gamelan rehearsing next door, watching the sun go down, and waiting for my delicious dinner.

There is something cravish about this simple dish that I can’t put my finger on, but has me dipping in for seconds and even, embarrassingly, for thirds. Left overs are delicious and easily reheatable. For a party you can make a day ahead and after bringing to room temperature, heat covered with foil, in the oven.

Pumpkin with Rosemary and Garlic Serves 6 - 8 Ingredients: - 7 Tbl. olive oil - 2 Tbl. butter - 2/3 cup yellow onion, chopped - 2 Tbl. fresh rosemary, chopped - 8 cloves garlic, skinned but left whole unless very large, then cut in half - 1 kg fresh pumpkin, seeded, skinned and chopped into 3 cm cubes

Add the rosemary, garlic, and the pumpkin. Mix well, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium flame until the pumpkin is cooked through, and is caramelized turning a beautiful brown. This will take about 20 minutes.

Enjoy!

LET THEM EAT CAKE

Twenty years ago, every warung kopi (local coffee shop) offered a selection of fresh, tasty little cakes and sweets called jajan, and almost every woman and girl knew how to make them. Now even in the villages the warungs seldom offer more than tasteless mass-produced snacks, with nary a dusting of fresh coconut in sight. Bali’s unique sweets may be in danger of extinction. Even the classic bubur injin, a rich pudding of black rice with a splash of coconut cream, is rarely to be seen on restaurant menus these days.

and then to Java, followed population movements from Sumatra to Kalimantan and then into the eastern part of Indonesia. “It would be interesting to get a map and track different varieties of jajan down from Sumatra to Java, Kalimantan, Bali and then Sulawesi and see them peter out at Flores. If we went way back, I think we’d find that Bali’s jajan came from Malacca Straits and that all its jajan traditions began somewhere else.”

the demand for jajan is increasing strongly. She and her staff prepare the sweets using traditional utensils like clay and metal molds. In one private school in Denpasar, Balinese parents take turns bringing jajan to school once a week for the children, where it is highly popular. In Sanur market, you can find Javanese, Sumatran and Balinese jajan.

Where ever the migrants ended up, the women adapted their traditional recipes to use locally available ingredients.

Depending on what part of Indonesia she was in, Ibu might use flour made from mung beans, white rice, sticky rice, sago, taro or cassava. Many jajan incorporate red palm sugar, beans, coconut and bananas. As one travels east through Indonesia, the variety of jajan decreases because fewer ingredients are available. There’s a heavier reliance there on bananas, sweet potatoes, coconut and palm sugar.

Few young women can be bothered making jajan these days

Long-time Ubud resident Janet Molloy was already a trained chef when she moved to Bali. Hanging out in the warungs in 1990, she took a professional interest in the colourful sweets that were offered with her glass of morning coffee. She applied herself seriously to the research and learned to identify sumping , bantal and klepon. Ewel, a tarry pudding, and bubur ijin were made from black sticky rice. Dadar was a small pancake and kue mangkok were the cupcakes with split tops used in offerings...

“It’s sad to see the rich diversity of regional jajan disappearing,” Janet says. “These would have traditionally been a source of income for village women. It’s especially sad that they’re being replaced with factory made, nutrient-depleted buns of dubious vintage sold in cellophane bags. My grandchildren may never taste real jajan.”

Jajan in a Balinese word. A limited selection of these cakes can still be found today in markets and supermarkets, but they are seldom seen at roadside warungs or even the baskets of wandering snack vendors any more. Some of the ingredients, like black sticky rice, have become rare and costly. Few young women can be bothered making jajan these days. Each type takes about two hours to make, they are sold very cheaply and most must be consumed within a day.

Before baking powder was available, Balinese women used fermented cassava for leavening. They still use the traditional pandan and suci leaves to colour and flavour the green cakes and, when steamed in a banana leaf, a pale green colour is imparted. Red palm sugar lends a caramel hue. Generally speaking, jajan are a healthy snack. If you steer clear of the pink ones (which sometimes use textile dyes), the ingredients are natural and local.

“Jajan is the ultimate Slow Food,” says Yvonne Day, founder of the Kue patisserie and restaurant in Ubud. Yvonne lived for many years in Jakarta with an Indonesian family and has steeped herself deeply in the lore of traditional cuisine. She is an authority on jajan. “I could still probably make about 15 different kinds of jajan without looking at a recipe,” she tells me. “I made them often with my Sumatran mother-in-law to be eaten by the family. We used all the traditional molds.”

In fact, jajan under other names is a Southeast Asian phenomena, with very similar items to be found in the morning markets in Malaysia, Thailand and Laos. Yvonne made this discovery on a recent trip, eating her way around the region. “I spent a lot of time in the local markets sampling things,” she says. “In the Thai markets I could see most of the same cakes with slight variations, also in Malaysia and Laos. They used the same ingredients but in a different format.”

Yvonne believes that jajan flags migration patterns around Asia, a sort of culinary conversation that followed the Mekong through Laos, Thailand and Malaysia, crossed to Sumatra

Some jajan show influence from other cultures, mainly China and Holland. The Dutch influence comes through in the marriages of heavy Dutch puddings with Indonesian ingredients. The Dutch replaced cow’s milk with coconut milk in their own traditional recipes, so these sweets are also dairy free and suitable for vegans and people on gluten free diets.

Dutch-influenced jajan may use wheat flour and some actually have gouda cheese in them. Some jajan, like the ondeh ondeh sold on streets of Denpasar and on the Bypass, are fried with mung/black bean paste inside and coated with sesame seeds, showing their Chinese influence.

Now that the price of white and red palm sugar are nearly the same, there is a temptation to use white sugar in the traditional sweets. But this changes the flavor, as white sugar is sweeter and lacks the rich caramel undertones of palm sugar.

“Jajan is a dying art in Bali, no question about it,” Yvonne points out. So start exploring some of the local delicacies before they disappear for good. Traditional morning markets always have a few women selling jajan. Ask for…

“These cakes use few ingredients and are so healthy that they give the farmers enough energy to work long mornings in the field. Traditionally, jajan is a breakfast food and midmorning snack, with the fried, steamed and saucy ones served in late afternoon. Any time of the day is jajan time, except at night,” Yvonne observes. “Although making jajan is a dying art in Bali it still happens in villages in Java because people don’t have the options they have here.”

•

Jajan are typically fried, steamed or boiled. Some are fermented, using the same yeast that is used for making brem.

Tape, a fermented jajan that is sold in wet or dry forms, is an essential ingredient of the classic Indonesian sweet Es Campur. Agar agar, derived from seaweed, is used in wet snacks which are traditionally served at Balinese weddings.

•

Yvonne has a full collection of the metal, clay and wooden presses and molds used to make the various jajan shapes.

The wooden molds resemble butter molds and show Dutch influence. Some jajan are extruded through presses with round holes like the string hoppers of Sri Lanka.

Jajan is a dying art in Bali, no question about it Wayan Manis, my housekeeper, knows how to cook all of the jajan. In fact, her first income-generating activity was making jajan with her mother when she was eight years old, to be peddled to her school mates during breaks to earn money to buy rice for the family. I asked her why so few jajan were available now -- didn’t the Balinese want to eat them anymore?

The disappearance of jajan is in fact tied to Ubud’s (and Bali’s) new prosperity. “People want to eat them but woman don’t want to make them!” Wayan told me. “Jajan are a lot of work and sell cheaply. Woman are too busy now, the compounds have money coming from other sources. Jajan makes so little money that the women can’t be bothered.”

The Balinese do miss jajan, though. A few women have set themselves up as suppliers for events and parties and do a roaring trade. One of these is Ibu Luh Parmi’s Roses Café in Rose Street Gang Ratna No. 3 Denpasar, which caters to a rapidly growing clientele of Balinese who come for a cup of coffee and her fresh jajan. Ibu Luh caters traditional Balinese cuisine for ceremonies and other events, but has found that

2012 BII Maybank Bali Marathon

After many years of intermittent running events in Indonesia,finally Bali will have an serious Olympic length marathon next year. The BII Maybank Bali Marathon will be held on Sunday April 22, 2012.

Run by the same organizers of the Bali Triathlon, this event will be run through the villages of Gianyar, with start & finish at Bali Safari Park.

There will be Full-Marathon (42k), Half-Marathon, and for the not so serious runners a 10km, and a Kids Dash. The organizers expect more than 3700 runners will join all categories with runners from Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia coming to Bali to participate in this race. Registration will be online and interested runners will be able to sign up from next month on the following website: www.balimarathon.com.

Bali 10’s rugby player’s fatal cocktail The family of a Perth based, New Zealand rugby player who died the night before the 2011 Bali Rugby Union 10’s, have learnt that his cause of death was from a poisonous alcohol drink. A coroner has found Michael Denton, 29, died of methanol poisoning, Michael died after consuming a drink believed to contain arak, which in 2009 killed dozens of people, including four foreigners.

Michael was struck down the night before he was due to play in the Bali 10’s rugby tournament on September 23 this year.

As his family commented. “This could happen to anyone...

These guys were not really drinking to excess. They were at a hotel drinking in a licensed bar and it’s quickly turned pretty nasty for my brother.” Together with others in his group, he bought cocktails called Jungle Juice. About 10pm, he complained of feeling ill.

Friends from the Perth-based Nedlands Rugby Club helped the five-eighth to his room, but when they checked on him an hour later, he was unconscious. Attempts to revive him failed and he died soon after in hospital. Michael Denton’s teammates who drank the same cocktail escaped with no ill-effects.The family would never know why it was just Michael who fell victim but were trying not to focus on the randomness of it.

Methanol poisoning can strike victims suddenly - and not much is needed to be fatal, a poisoning expert says.

Dr Leo Schep, a New Zealand toxicologist at the National Poisons Centre in Dunedin, said not much pure methanol was needed to have deadly results.

“All you need is half a millilitre per kilogram of body weight, so if you’re 80kg, you need 40ml of pure methanol to have a toxic dose.”

Dr Schep said physical symptoms were similar to drunkenness.

“Then there can be nothing for a few hours, then they develop a headache ... They can get short of breath, blurred vision and vertigo.”

If untreated, the poisoning could lead to rapid breathing, blindness, a coma and seizures, which could lead to brain damage.

He said victims could be saved if they received treatment quickly. The antidote was ethanol, which acted like a blocking agent and eliminated the methanol.

Local News Bali Boy Home after Running Media Gauntlet It was an epic journey for the Lake Macquarie teenager known as the Bali Boy. Escaping a harsher sentence for being caught buying 3.6 grams of marijuana in Kuta almost seemed like the easy part yesterday as the 14-year-old’s family tried to avoid the cameras during a meticulously-planned dash from Denpasar airport to their Morisset Park home.

Pacific Blue flight 4146 touched down in Sydney at 9.53am ending the boy’s two-month ordeal in detention, but he didn’t leave the airport for several hours. Passengers on the flight said he was surrounded by police officers as he was ushered through customs to a side area.

Hours later he was secretly taken through a private airport exit, escorted by Australian Federal Police as requested by the Department of Foreign Affairs, and driven to his weatherboard home on the water where hessian sheets were hung to thwart photographers. The boy was smuggled into the house in a covert operation involving a pillow and a neighboring property.

The family ran to a back entrance from adjacent bushes with the boy hiding his face behind a balaclava and a pillow. ‘‘Obviously they don’t want to speak to the media,’’ said Grant Vandenburg, the celebrity agent who reportedly brokered a $300,000 media deal for the family that was

allegedly aborted after it angered the Indonesian authorities.

But speculation of a deal was still rife. Celebrity agent Max Markson said he believed the family had a deal with Channel Nine and its magazines but that they ‘‘haven’t signed the contract’’. ‘‘You’ll see it in 60 Minutes, you’ll read about it in Woman’s Day or Woman’s Weekly or both,’’ he told the ABC. Channel Nine ‘‘categorically’’ denied any deal despite the presence of 60 Minutes journalist Allison Langdon in Bali. ‘‘People can speculate all they like,’’ Channel Nine spokesman David Hurley said. ‘‘The answer was no, is no and will be no.’’

Proceeds from any deal can be confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act only if the offence committed overseas is also an offence against Australian law punishable by a minimum of 12 months imprisonment.

In NSW, punishment for possession of marijuana ranges from a caution notice to two years’ imprisonment, however, a court has discretion in applying the act. Natalie Skead, an associate professor of law from the University of Western Australia, said the Director of Public Prosecutions had shown a trend towards commencing litigation under the act. (December 6th 2011)

World HIV / AIDS Day 2011 Indonesia - Acceptance and Awarness Vice President Boediono on Sunday (27/11) observed the World AIDS Day 2011 at the National Monument (Monas) square park in Jakarta and called on all parties to participate in AIDS prevention efforts.

“Our important task is to stop HIV/AIDS from spreading,” he said in his address to a function marking the event. Only by intensifying cooperation among all parties could the deadly disease be conquered some time in the future, the vice president said.

Manpower and Transmigration Minister Muhaimin Iskandar who was also chief of the event’s organizing committee said nearly 85 percent of those affected by AIDS were in their productive age.

He added that through the commemoration of the 2011 World AIDS Day his side would continue to encourage the people to improve their knowledge about the danger of AIDS and commit themselves to prevent the disease from spreading. The minister expressed a hope that employers would no longer discriminate against their AIDS-affected employees.

The World AIDS Day is observed on December 1 worldwide. The commemoration of the World AIDS Day 2011 in Indonesia was themed protecting workers and business world from HIV/AIDS. Also present at the event were Transportation Minister EE Mangindaan and Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo. About 6,700 people including students, workers, businessmen, government officers and non-governmental organization activists took part in the event. The vice president also launched AIDS prevention campaigns with a slogan “I am proud I know.”

According to Nova Riyanti Yusuf, a Democratic Party lawmaker and doctor, people living with HIV/AIDS may soon receive legal protection against discriminatory treatment, lawmakers said on Thursday (1/12). The statement was made at the World AIDS Day gathering by the House of

Representatives Commission IX, which oversees welfare.

Activists have long called for legal workplace protections for people living with HIV, citing certain instances when discrimination against them has pushed some to commit suicide. The Ministry of Health issued a decree on HIV/AIDS awareness in the workplace in 2004, focusing on preventing discrimination against infected workers, but it cannot outline sanctions.

About 70 percent of all HIV/AIDS cases in Indonesia are among people of working age. An estimated 36 percent cases are among those aged 20 to 29, the highest-risk cohort.

The ministry estimates there are about 200,000 Indonesians living with HIV/AIDS, though UNAIDS says the real number could be closer to 300,000. Separately, the ministry said on Thursday (1/12) that a recent survey shows that intravenous drug users are among the best informed of the risks of AIDS. The 2011 Integrated Biological-Behavioral Surveillance conducted by the ministry shows that 44 percent of the intravenous drug users questioned knew about the process of infection, prevention and treatment for HIV/AIDS, said Tjandra Yoga Aditama, the ministry’s director general for disease control and environmental health.

Prisoners and detainees had the lowest awareness, with only 12 percent understanding the same issues. H.M. Subuh, the ministry’s director for contagious diseases, said access to education, print media and audio media are influential in receiving information.

He said it was crucial to continue raising awareness, especially because the National AIDS Commission said half of the intravenous drug users in the country were already infected due to their needle-sharing practice.

Tjandra said the ministry planned to raise awareness about the disease with an education campaign targeting people between the ages of 15 and 25 in 10 provinces with high HIV/AIDS populations. (December 2nd 2011)

Bali Governor Opposed to Geothermal Project in Bedugul Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said he continued to oppose the idea of allowing a geothermal exploration project in the protected forest area of Bedugul. “I continue to reject the idea as did the previous Bali governor,” Pastika said here Tuesday (29/11). Pastika said he was consistent with his initial attitude (of rejecting geothermal explorations in the Bedugul forest area), although the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) had recently mentioned Bedugul as one of 28 conservation forest locations in Indonesia with significant potential geothermal energy sources that could be explored by private parties. Meanwhile, I Gusti Ngurah Wiranatha, head of Bali province’s forestry office, said ecological studies had shown that geothermal exploration activity in Bedugul’s conservation forest area would have an impact on other aspects of the region’s environment because the Bedugul forests were the culmination point of the region’s entire ecosystem. “Technically, geothermal explorations in the area are not possible,” he said. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik in a statement on the results of an energy-related meeting during the ASEAN Summit in Nusa Dua on November 13-19, 2011, had said the government would soon permit geothermal explorations in 28 forest conservation areas in Indonesia, including one in Bedugul, Bali. Jero said he had already discussed the matter with Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan. (November 29th 2011) Cashiers at Mall in Bali ATM Theft Ring Several checkout assistants at a store in the Mall Bali Galeria in Kuta have been arrested in an ATM / credit card scam. The perpetrators a women with initials AI (18), an employee at the J-Rep store and a man with initials MRF (23) a cashier at the GS store in Mall Bali Galeria, Kuta where apprehended at the mall after surveillance according to Kuta police chief Gede Ganefo on Saturday (19/11). Both perpetrators were arrested at 21:00 pm, Saturday (19/11) following reports from co-workers at the stores. “AI became a suspect because he repeatedly swiped consumer’s ATM cards twice on different machines while transacting payments,” said Ganefo. The police also arrested a man with initials MRF (23) from Pasuruan, East Java who worked as a cashier at the store GS Bali Galeria Mall. The perpetrator was arrested in his rented room in Jalan Gelogor Carik, Denpasar. Police found a printing device used to print fake ATM cards and a box of credit cards.

(November 28th 2011) A Holiday Without Cigarettes: Smoking Ban To Hit Bali Bali visitors as well as locals might find it harder to smoke on the tropical island after the provincial legislature passed a new bylaw on Anti-Smoking Areas on Monday. “I want all people to be healthy and the bylaw is an implementation of the 2009 Health Law,” Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said after attending the Bali legislative council (DPRD) plenary meeting. “I think tourists will understand the new law, it is Bali’s own people who often do not understand.” The bylaw mandates that all tourism destinations or “tourism support facilities” like hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and discotheques will be smokefree. It also bans smoking in places of worship, health facilities, schools, children’s playgrounds and public places like markets and airports. Public buses will also be smoke-free, as well all government offices, including police and military offices. In addition to banning smoking in these places, the bylaw also forbids the sale of cigarettes and tobacco advertisements at these locations. Breaching this new bylaw carries a maximum sanction of six months imprisonment or a fine of Rp 50 million ($5,450). Ida Bagus Ngurah Wijaya, chairman of the Bali Tourism Board, said officials might have trouble enforcing the regulation in public facilities like the DPRD building, where the bylaw was passed on Monday. Tengara Swara Tama, a manager at the Hard Rock Cafe in Kuta, said that even before the bylaw was passed, the restaurant had planned to be smoke-free by next year. (November 28th 2011)

Kalimantan’s Collapsed “Golden Gate” Bridge Death toll Rises to 20 The number of dead victims found at the location of the collapsed bridge in Tenggarong, Kutai Kertanegara, East Kalimatan on Thursday (1/12) morning reached 20. A Search and Rescue team found one more body, identified as Makmur Azis (37), three kilometers from the collapsed bridge early on Thursday morning. The 700-m long bridge over the Mahakam river in East Kalimantan province collapsed at 4.30 pm last Saturday causing a number of vehicles to fall into the river. The government has been urged to set up an independent team of experts to determine the causes of the tragedy. A snapped support cable is suspected to have caused the collapse. Spanning 710 meters over the Mahakam River, the bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Indonesia with a suspended section of 270 meters. The names of several companies have been mentioned in the media as having participated in the bridges construction. PT Perencana Jaya was said to have served as consultant on the project, PT Hutama Karya as the main contractor and PT Bukaka Teknik Utama as provider of maintenance services. (December 1st 2011).

Emerging Evidence Sheds Some Light on Orangutan Killing Case Police have questioned tens of witnesses following the photo publication of an alleged orangutan slaughter in Kalimantan as well as calls for an investigation on the case from several organizations. On October 29, Samarindabased Mulawarman University’s Tropical Rain Forest Research Center (PPHT) managed to reconstruct orangutan bones handed over by members of the local community living around the area of PT. Khaleda Agroprima Malindo (KAM) plantation, a subsidiary of Metro Kajang Holdings (MKH) Berhad of Malaysia, in Muara Kaman, Kutai Kartanegara district, East Kalimantan. This finding confirmed the information and photos of an orangutan slaughter published in the local newspaper the Center for Orangutan Protection (COP) said in a press statement recently. The clearing of the forest for palm oil plantations is a major threat for the endangered orangutan in Kalimantan, according to COP, which estimated that at least 2400 to 12000 orangutans had been killed. Police have named at least four suspects and arrested two of them following the emerging of evidence. “Based on the investigation by the Kukar and East Kalimantan Police officers today, we name and detain two new suspects, namely W bin W, 29 years old and a PT KAM employee, and PCH, 46 years old and a PT KAM senior manager,” Inspector General Saud Usman Nasution, a spokesman of the Indonesian National Police, said in Jakarta on November 24, 2011. W was suspected as the person who had recruited the main suspect who caught and shot orangutans. PCH, a Malaysian national, was the person who had suggested and instructed the establishment of a team to hunt pests (including orangutans and monkeys) in the plantation area of PT KAM. Police had earlier named two other suspects, namely M alias G and M, in the Kalimantan orangutan and monkey killing case.

The two suspects are pest eradication workers of PT KAM. G and M admitted that they had killed the animals on instructions from PCH and A (PT KAM general manager) two years ago. They were paid Rp. 200,000 per one monkey and Rp1 million per orangutan. The suspects admitted to chasing down the primates with dogs, then shooting, stabbing or hacking them to death with machetes. They later took pictures of the dead animals as evidences to get payments from the company. A spokesman for PT KAM, however, has denied the report on the company’s involvement in the orangutan slaughter. (November 28th 2011)

Dutch to Apologize for Indonesia Massacre The government will pay compensation and apologize to relatives of men killed by Dutch troops in a notorious 1947 massacre of villagers during Indonesia’s bitter struggle for independence, their lawyer said on Monday. Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said that the apology “does justice to the gravity of what happened in Rawagedeh,” the village on Java island where up to 430 men were rounded up and summarily executed. “I hope it helps the relatives find closure for this exceptionally difficult episode in their lives and look to the future,” Rosenthal said. The Dutch ambassador to Indonesia, Tjeerd de Zwaan, will offer the apology during the annual commemoration of the massacre in the village, now called Balongsari, on December 9. Nine relatives of men shot in the massacre won a landmark court case earlier this year, when judges ruled that the Dutch state was responsible for the massacre. The relatives’ lawyer, Liesbeth Zegveld, says they are pleased with the Dutch apology. She added that the state also will pay each of the nine relatives $27 000 compensation. “It is good that the relatives can now close the case,” she said. “It happened 64 years ago and there was a tough ruling from the court necessary, but the relatives are very grateful that the state is not going to appeal and will apologize.” The Dutch government has never prosecuted any soldiers for the massacre, despite a United Nations report condemning the attack as “deliberate and ruthless” as early as 1948. (December 5th 2011) Indonesian Girl Barred From School in HIV Dispute Gets Support The National Commission for Child Protection will summon the management of a private North Jakarta elementary school to explain their decision to revoke a child’s school admission because her father is HIV positive. The case of a 6-year-old girl who was not allowed to register at the school on World AIDS Day, because of her father’s HIV status, has caused widespread public indignation. Arist Merdeka Sirait, chairman of the National Commission for Child Protection (Komnas Anak), said the school’s decision was discriminatory and could be a violation of the 2002 Child Protection Law. “The law covers every kind of discrimination, including on the grounds of race, religion, etc. We have sent the school a letter and we are summoning them on Monday morning to talk about this,” Arist said. “The school could be charged under the law.” He cited five articles in the 2002 law that talk about the right of all children to be protected from discrimination and violence. Article 77 of the law says that anyone who “deliberately discriminates against children, causes them losses, both financial and moral, or hampers their social activities” could face up to five years in jail or a fine of Rp 100 million ($11,100). Arist said that during Monday’s meeting, the commission would ask the school, Don Bosco in Kelapa Gading, to reverse its decision because it would set a bad precedent. The girl’s mother, Leonnie Merinsca, told the Jakarta Globe that the school had demanded that her daughter submit to a blood test to prove that she did not have HIV. “I think what they are doing is discrimination, not only against my daughter but also against our family and the public, especially those people living with HIV/AIDS,” she said. Alfonsa Maria SR, a member of Don Bosco’s school committee, told the Globe that the school’s actions could not be considered discrimination.

“From what I have learned, many parents have concerns about this,” she said. “I don’t know in detail about the disease, but I have read that if there’s an open wound and contact, it could be [transmitted to others].” Muhammad Nuh, the education and culture minister said he was not taking sides but added that an education was the right of every child in the country. Leonnie demanded the school issue a public apology through the media. The school has so far refused to apologize. (December 3rd 2011)

Gale Force Winds Sweep Through North Bali - One Child Killed Gale force winds swept thorough North Bali on Tuesday (29/11) afternoon up-rooting a number of trees in the city of Singaraja and surrounding areas. One large tree fell on and destroyed a house in the Village of Sawan. A young boy who was in the house at the time was fatally injured in the incident. The dead child was Komang Darmayasa (13) from the village of Sawan. The boy had just arrived home from school and was watching television when his modest home was crushed. His parents were not at home at the time. Neighbors banded together to try to remove the tree however when the boy’s body was recovered he had already succumbed to his injuries. (November 30th 2011) Work on Simpang Siur Under-pass Set to Start Soon The process of land acquisition for the Dew Ruci underpass has finally been completed. The owners of the land have now fully agreed to acquisition deals, and work on the project could start as soon as December 15th 2011. Vice Chairman of the Underpass Land Acquisition Committee I Nyoman Soka, said on Friday (2 /12) that up until now the payment process had been completed for 11 landowners.

While the rest of the land acquisition could take a little more time due to land status problems. However, Soka said that in general the process of land acquisition has not encountered significant problems. He said that physical construction of the underpass project would begin on Dec. 15. The project is slated to cost hundreds of billions of dollars and is targeted for completion in April 2013.

(December 3rd 2011) Friends of Jake Flannery Re-enact Mate’s Electrocution Death in Bali In the shadows of the Legian bar where Jake was electrocuted by live wiring during a freak Schoolies Week accident in Bali, a friend named Michael got on his knees and relived the moment he tried to save the 18-year-old; using the CPR he was certain would bring his mate back.

Friends hugged and wept in each other’s arms as the enormity of the Gosford High School leaver’s fate once again washed over them. Earlier, a Balinese police officer impersonating Jake showed how the teen sidestepped a pallet of bricks on the pavement in the early hours of Saturday morning, grabbing the sign from the Joker’s Cafe to balance himself. It was to be Jake’s last act. The pole was electrified, courtesy of an adjacent live wire from the neon lights. As his schoolmates united on the roadside, friends gathered at his family’s Gosford home yesterday to remember a Jake that excelled at everything he put his mind to do. Parents Colin and Cheryl Flannery are yet to make a decision whether to fly to Bali to retrieve their son: “I just want to bring him home; find a good spot for him,” Mr. Flannery said yesterday. Loved ones who gathered yesterday at the family’s Bateau Bay home on the Central Coast described Jake as a brilliant young man who had been looking forward to a bright future. “He was just a fantastic guy. He was really good academically, in creative arts and at sport as well - he was a very good hockey player,” his uncle, Peter Flannery, said. Jake celebrated the end of his HSC at the selective Gosford High School just a few weeks ago, and had been planning to unwind in Bali before knuckling down to pursue study and a career in either photography or social media. “Obviously you’re always worried about these sorts of things (the Schoolies Week trip) but this is just a tragic accident,” his uncle said.

by Dr. Rob Studioliquido Photographs by Josep Triay At Regalitos Art Gallery, Jl. Lungsiakang, Ubud Tel: 974843 Behind any artist, you will usually find an individual who expresses in his artwork a personal angle on how he sees and feels and belongs to this world. Josep Triay is no exception, and, he brings to his art an energetic spirit from his home country of Spain, a land of color and creativity.

Born in the Balearic Islands in 1972, Josep studied design and multi-media at the Univesitat de les Illes Balears. Art, travel, photography, adventure, new challenges, and a great love of the ocean, are an important part of his nature.

Josep has been residing in South East Asia since 2005, and he has been influenced by Asian cultures, but, mostly by the abundance and diversity of the magical waters of this region.

Currently, at the Regalitos Gallery, Josep presents an innovative abstract art collection using underwater photography. These Mandala unique pieces, such as ‘Mandala’ and ‘Medina’, show a kaleidoscope of colors. They capture the most delicate and tiniest pieces of beauty of some of the most remote and exotic underwater paradises found in the waters of South East Asia. Colors, forms, and shapes open up channels to transport you to new levels of feelings and perceptions.

Medina

However, through a distinctive approach to his work, Josep combines his underwater photographs with post-production Adobe Photoshop computer techniques. These fascinating techniques result in original and unique combinations of design and photography. Josep explores this creative process with much innovation and passion, to create sophisticated and elegant pieces of art.

Play n Greetings Paintings by Wisnu Sasongko At Adi’s Gallery, Jl. Bisma 102, Ubud Tel: 977104 Talking about his art, Wisnu Sasongko says that he likes to combine ideas with artistic concepts. An idea, Wisnu says, could be found at first glance, coming mainly from his memories, which are based on empirical knowledge. An art concept, Wisnu elaborates, is a kind of an ideological construction with some verbal explanations. The personal subjects in his art must always expose aspects of humanity, and have to look into cultural issues. Wisnu wants to make sense of the rapidly changing materialistic world, along with visual and spiritual experiences. Wisnu feels that most people around him have lost their sensitivity about cultural changes, and have replaced it by materialistic orientations.

Ironically, Wisnu thinks, most people have become alienated from their own humanity. He imagines happy smiling people. Good spirits free from pressures, enjoying the simple things of life, along with the acceptance of real necessities, honest gestures, and the will to share. By the simplicity of these ideals, Wisnu is able to depict in his art the many changes of our cultural environment.

The examples ‘Untitled 1 and 2’ show that Wisnu also likes to use metaphors to express many things which he may not be able to say with words. A greenhouse could be a metaphor for a sweet home, or, a bicycle could represent the courage to move forward while leaving the past behind. A boat can suggest a ride through the mysteries of life, expressing hopes or visions. For Wisnu, a bed, on which we Untitled 1 laying down is about relieving burdens, and, a red crown is his metaphor for natural anger. Wisnu creates and uses metaphors in many different contexts.

However, through his artistic processes, Wisnu must meditate on each subject. The way he works is according to the rhythm of his life.

That is why he needs to meditate on each thing. Meditation is his way to integrate himself as a unique person into the universal existence. Wisnu regards himself as a religious person, and he sees spirituality as a freedom from any kind of materialistic Untitled 2 orientations. Spirituality gives Wisnu the power to create ideas on any kind of artistic matters, so, consequently, meditation becomes part of his ongoing processes of clearing and purification.

That is why, Wisnu claims, that making art has created within him an originality and honesty. Without his art, Wisnu feels, he would return to his primitive desires.

The Candidates – New Generations Paintings by the Children Communities of Batu Belah and Nagasepaha At Gaya Art Space, Jl. Raya Sayan, Ubud. Tel: 979252 It is generally felt that children have a unique way of expressing themselves, if we compare then with adults. Children have much freedom in Child Art 1 depicting anything which may be recorded in their minds, in their own way. It is also felt that, as adults, it is our duty to encourage the potential which is kept in their minds, without encumbering them too early with an adult perspective. Imagination has a powerful potential to create expressions that are nonplussed, and to make images never thought of before, and can only exist in the minds of children. Through this potential, children of today have the possibility to develop an art which can be more creative, and have more freedom, then the achievements of their forefathers.

In consideration of the potentiality of the art of children, the Gaya Art Space is currently Child Art 2 presenting an exhibition of paintings by the Children Communities of Batu Belah and Nagasepaha. As the examples ‘Child Art 1 and 2’

demonstrate, the works exhibited contain a wide variety of subject-matters, and have been created by children of many different ages, all of whom posses a keen imagination. The potential of Children’s Art is very much on show in this interesting exhibition.

SCHEDULE THAT Anantara (31 December and 1 January)

Christmas Buffet Dinner (25 December)

This trendy spot is definitely one of the places to be in Bali for the New Year’s Eve celebrations. The party begins at 10 pm with performer Erica Rhone from New York playing a selection of eclectic beats. The setting is magnificant with a dazzling display of firewords to celebrate the arrival of 2012. Earlier in the evening, two dinners are available. The Wild Orchid Restaurant is hosting a gala dinner with champagne, canapes and a buffet dinner at 7.30 pm. The alternative is a grill wine jazz dinner at the SOS Supper Club with a five course culinary journey at 7 pm. Complimentary entry to the New Year party is given to those attending either dinner. That is not all either.

On New Year’s day you can also join the ‘Bottomless Bloody Mary Brunch’ at the SOS Supper Club from 12 – 3.30 pm with chilled seafood, fresh salads, cavery etc etc. Sounds like a great place to spend the first day of January.

Out of all the Christmas dinners this one is one of the most reasonable and includes free flow soft drinks, juice or beer. For every fee paying adult, children under 12 years eat for free.

Afterwards, there’s live entertainment at Centre Stage with Sterling Band.

Carols by Candlelight (23 December) I thoroughly enjoy the festive season, a time for not only fun but reflection on another year almost passed and what Christmas actually means, a word almost synonymous with peace, loved ones, family and giving and of course winter for the northern hemisphere. Well, it hardly seems festive in the heat, but this is a great way to get into the mood for a Bali Christmas.

The Bali Community Choir will lead the Carol singing with a variety of traditional and contemporary songs for the community to enjoy. A sumptuous barbecue dinner will also be served.

All profits from this event will go to The Smile Foundation to provide operations for children with cranio-facial disabilities.

There will also be a giving tree so people can bring a wrapped toy or gift for children in The Smile House waiting or recovering from operations. When all is said and done, Christmas really is about giving and if you really can’t make it or don’t get a reservation then drop buy any time and pop a gift on to the giving tree and of course enjoy the delightful ambience and perhaps a drink. Bookings are essential as this event is very popular.

The Good Old Days New Year’s Eve RAS Muhamad Eazyskankin feat with DJ S-Tea Sound Bwoy Dodix and DJ Ronny B Good combine together to provide the entertainment. I don’t know much more but they have certainly planned ahead to entice the punters to this Denpasar venue for a New Year’s Eve bash.

By Dawn Chorus

This is a ‘one night only’ special concert right here in Bali. Guy made it into Australia’s music scene as a result of winning Australian Idol in 2003. He has become one of Australia’s most successful male recording artist of all times. He has just finished in his role as judge and mentor on The X Factor and is looking forward to coming to Bali. Apparently Bali is one of his favorite places, no surprises there but it’s his first performance in Bali. Sebastian is Malaysianborn and his first solo hit ‘Angels Brought Me Here’ debuted at number one in the Australian charts and his latest single ‘Don’t Worry, be Happy has also become an overnight hit. This is a great opportunity to go see him live in Bali so don’t delay buying your tickets as they are sure to sell out.

KU DE TA (25 and 31 December) This is definitely the place to celebrate Christmas as Santa descends upon the guests with gifts for all the children. Tent activities including Christmas tree, hat and stocking making, Christmas cookie and cup cake decoration will keep the guests entertained with festive prizes for the best Christmas socks created. Magicians, performers and DJs provide the rest of the entertainment. Finally, the food just makes my mouth water as I write, seared ‘giant’ scallops with crispy smoked ham hock, potato and leek soup and of course the traditional turkey without which, Christmas would not be the same. A traditional turkey KU DE TA style no less and of course traditional Christmas pudding. A special menu for the kids is also available. As we

There is a great line up of live entertainment throughout the month of December. On Wednesday 21 December Long Lost Brothers perform with a mix of jazz, funk and soul. On Christmas Eve the David Quintet play a selection of jazz. On Thursday 29 December Jon Bos rock the house and on Friday 30 December Ronaldgang perform with a variety of rock and blues classics. What can be guaranteed is great live performances, excellent food and a great ambiance which all combine to make this a great place to hang out particulary through the party season.

Matahari Beach Resort and Spa (31 December) Christmas and New Year in Bali always cunjures up images of traffic, endless cars and bikes hitting the roads all at once and clogging up the already congested bypasses and other main roads. Mostly in south Bali. So if you want to head out and do something different to celebrate the new year the Matahari Beach Resort in Pemuteran offers something a bit different more in Bali style. The evening starts with a cocktail reception at the water palace in candlelight with traditional Balinese songs. Next the setting for dinner is the Dewi Ramona Restaurant for a Sylvester 3 course or 6 course meal.

Entertainment is provided by the Santhi Budaya Art Foundation with ‘Sanggar Seni Santhi Budaya’ performing the new dance creation BRAYA. This is an authentic cultural New Year’s Eve leading to contemporary music which the Matahari inhouse band will perform live. The price includes cocktails and entertainment. The place is indeed very beautiful.

A Message from the Coolest kids on the Planet!

Hello, We are strong, independent kids full of hope. We care for each other as we rarely see our parents. We live in charitable institutions in West Bali, as our parents cannot afford to pay for school. Guru Ibu Lala visits us frequently. She teaches us English and she tells us that she loves us all very much, euch, embarrassing! For her Christmas Celebration this year she would like to give each of us a little gift. We really appreciate treats like new toiletries, soap, shampoo, school socks, hats hair ties, pens and note-books. We are aged between 2 and 17 years old, average age 13 years. There are 500 of us!

Many Thanks and Bless You! Ibu Lala Tel: 081 3811 2589 Space for this ad donated by Bali Advertiser NC/NV/P-14 Dec. 11

Letters To Bali Advertiser Seasonal greeting to you all.

(Especially to Messrs. Cameron, Webb, Duncan Smith, Osborne & Clegg.)

Just as a reminder to them that this is the season of goodwill to all men.

Wherever you are, be it east or west.

With seasonal greetings we wish you the best.

Whatever your politics, be it red yellow or blue, (except for MPs), always speak true.

If the pension you’ve earned now paid by the State, has been stuck for years on the original rate, please tell your MP that’s its never too late, to make amends, SO, OUR PENSIONS UPRATE! We stuck to our contract and paid up in full, so please stick to yours, and stop all this bull!

If I was to steal just half of YOUR pay, the cops would soon come and put ME away.

Mr C said, that all pensioners are equal.

(Except of course for the following sequel).

For just HALF of the pensioners that overseas live, their FULL pension the Government give.

For the other HALF MILLION, each year brings more stress, as their Pensions value will ALWAYS get less.

So will Mr C now be honest and fair? and show frozen pensioners he does really care.

The Government has introduced a new Pensions Bill (PB 2011) that they say will be fair to all pensioners. There are between 11 and 12 million UK pensioners. 92% in the UK get their full indexed linked pensions. 4% in some overseas countries also get the full indexed pension.

4% in other overseas countries do not get the full indexed pension.

The Government conveniently leaves out from the Bill any reference to the 540,000 odd pensioners that live in some, (but not all), overseas countries that do not get the index linked annual pension increases. This freezing of pensions is tucked away in the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Regulations 2011.

Why is this so? To avoid having to discuss it as part of the Bill which would surely draw attention to this victimisation of frozen pensioners. The house of commons library states :-The basic State Pension (BSP), to which people build entitlement on the basis of their National Insurance record. The amount of a person’s BSP entitlement depends on the number of “qualifying years” they have built up. (SN/BT/2117) Nowhere does it say depending on where they live.

Overseas pensioners save the Government billions of pounds by not using hospitals, doctors and other benefits available to the UK based pensioners.

Fairness and equality? No Mr C. far from it.

An example An 85 year old pensioner living in one of the frozen countries since reaching 65, would have received £49.90 pension. Today he still only receives that same amount. The same aged pensioner living in the UK or in some other countries would receive £97.65 (2010 figures). So the overseas pensioner is losing about 55%of what his pension should be. (having paid the same N.I. Contributions as those receiving full indexed linked pensions).

There is an e-petition on the Government web site to to get this discrimination discussed in Parliament. Please visit the site and sign the petition. The Website for the e-petition is <http://bit.ly/BritPensions> clida2000@yahoo.com Post, e-mail, fax or bring in your letters. Please address all to Letters To Bali Advertiser.

Backup or be sorry! To protect your expensive desktop computer or sound system from damage from power surges you can buy a voltage regulator for as low as Rp100,000.

However, a voltage regulator will not protect your valuable electronic equipment from power cuts. A superior choice is a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) unit that has both a voltage regulator and a battery built in. While not limited to protecting any particular type of equipment, a UPS is typically used to protect computers where an unexpected power disruption might cause data loss or disruption of business.

The UPS’s battery is constantly charging and will provide stable voltage and an uninterrupted supply of power. If you lose power, it will instantaneously beep and give you 15-20 minutes of emergency power to finish up what you were doing and shutdown your equipment safely and properly. If the voltage drops to a very low level, the UPS will also warn you. Shop around at RIMO on Jl. Diponegoro or at RTC on Jl. Gatot Subroto computer centers in Denpasar.

ICA, Jl. Nusa Kambangan 59 (tel. 0361-232-158/742-0849) specializes in backup power systems. Generally there are two types available: one that can back up several computers up to 1200 Watts and another which covers a single computer up to 600 Watts. The cheapest, at only Rp300,000, is Ersys 600 N. Next is Montero 600 N for Rp350,000-Rp400,000.

Prolink brand is Rp550,000. ICAs are the very best at Rp600,000-Rp700,000. For the 1200 Watt variety, Montero has one for Rp800,000, though individual users don’t need these because their desktop probably has only a 200-400 VA rating which makes a 600 Watt UPS more than adequate.

To make sure, find out how many Watts your computer consumes before buying. Don’t buy any UPS without a oneyear warranty.

Surprising cajuputih oil: Asians have always considered the cajuputih plant a natural panacea traditionally used externally for headaches, ear pain, chronic rheumatism, cramps and applied on the stomach for warming comfort or on fresh wounds to hasten healing.

Also used as a stimulating expectorant in chronic laryngitis and bronchitis, and as an anthelmintic, especially in the treatment of various skin d i s e a s e s because of its antiparasitic properties: scabies, psoriasis and roundworm. It relieves toothache if introduced into the hollow of the tooth. Also makes a good antiseptic and insect repellent.

Three of the best-known brands are Konicare (Rp19,000 60 ml), Cap Lang (Rp39,000 200 ml) and Cap Gajah (Rp8500 40 ml).

Affordable solar power: If you have a traditional gravity water system, you can save yourself bucks with a low-pressure solar water heater. With a retail cost of only Rp3.9 million, Mata Air Bali (www.MataAirBali.com) builds the least expensive and most efficient solar water heater available on the island. Cheaper yet, if you buy the heater and pick it up directly from the factory, they extend the wholesale price!

Either way, Mata Air gives a one-year w a r r a n t y. W i t h a capacity of 210 liters producing up to 8 hot showers a day, this so-called ‘batch hot water heater is a ingeniously simple device with no moving parts, does not use LPG (gas), PLN (electricity), chemicals, nor does it need any

maintenance or ongoing service calls. Just requires the sun and even works well under cloudy conditions. If you compare it to a similarly sized gas or electricity on-demand heater, the installation and purchase costs are about the same, but considering it needs no fuel it is virtually paid for immediately upon installation. The system is also very stable. Water quickly heats to 60C+ and does not change temperature during use, as do systems relying on pumps or gas and electric burners.

If you have a flat open roof directly over your shower, a simple installation generally costs Rp1.3 million which includes a high-quality installation kit, mixer valve, and shower sprayer and all fittings. Available from Surya Baru, Jl. Raya Kerobokan 50, tel: 0361-730-032 (ask for Pak Tony) or from UD Sumber Indah, Jl. Gunung Agung Buluh Indah 2, Denpasar, tel: 0361431-365 (ask for Ibu Putu). Visit the U. D. Mata Air Bali factory in Ungasan for a demonstration; open Mon.-Fri. 8 am-5 pm.

Call first: tel. 0361-929-9119.

Ants be gone! Bali ants come in all shapes and sizes – black ones, red ones, brown ones, and white ones that eat wood that you can combat by squirting used motor oil down spaces between wood. There are those that bite (red ones) and those who don’t. Electrical cables and trees/plants touching the building become ant highways. Anti-ant canals around your buildings work really well, but require a bit of management. A leaf lying across the canal makes a bridge, which ants will find quickly. Canal water has to be c h a n g e d religiously every 7-10 days to p r e v e n t mosquitoes from breeding (fit a pipe to make this easy; see photo).

There are also a number of effective natural substances for fighting ants. Some people spread cucumbers or grow lavender everywhere; others swear by Dadap leaves.

A virtually non-toxic control material is Boric Acid (less toxic than table salt!) but it can be hard to find. Use a light dusting (dry areas only) where ants are a problem. Freemite concentrate, sold at the Eco Shop on Jl. Dewi Sita in Ubud, tel. 0819-999-47180, is another eco-friendly repellent effective against ants, mosquitoes, and wood destroying insects like woodworms, Powderpost beetles and termites. The cheapest chemical substances are Sevin (Rp24,000 per 100 gram) and MIP CINTA 50 WP (Rp38,000 per 500 gram), both widely available at your local farmer’s supplies store, Toko Obat Petani, AND can be stored a long time in their plastic satchels if kept in a dry place. Mix two tablespoons with water in one spray tank that can cover a huge area. Konan is another chemical alternative (Rp21,000 per 100 gram bottle) available from chemical wholesaler P. T. Brataco Chemika, Jl. Kepundung 8, Denpasar, tel: 0361-744-3373.

Powered by Tofu: Tahu, the fresh white bean curd substitute for dairy products, has been a staple of hippies since the 1960s and an integral part of Asian cooking for millennia. The soy protein in tahu has been proven to reduce cholesterol levels.

Chameleon-like Tahu has the unique culinary quality to take on the flavor of whatever it is cooked with. If tahu is sold out of milky water, it will almost certainly not be fresh. When sold, the tahu must be white in color and sold out of clear water. Each piece measures around 10 cm X 10 cm.

Two kinds: The softer Tahu Bali is delicious if fresh while cheaper Tahu Jawa is firmer and used mostly for deep frying and in stir fried dishes. Tahu costs Rp1000 for five pieces in a plastic bag or, if bought separately, Rp250 apiece. Tahu Takwa (tahu flavored with turmeric and other spices), from Kediri, East Java, is very firm and is sold in some Bali supermarkets (Tiara Grosir, Rp15,000 per small woven basket) and in Bali Deli.

Indian bazaar: On the north side of Denpasar’s Pasar Badung is Jl. Sulawesi, a whole street of hot, crowded stores where

an overwhelming variety of fabrics and textiles are stacked to the ceilings and spill out onto the sidewalk. More shops around the corner on Jl. Gajah Madah. You’ll find hundreds of rolls of materials in every hue and color from beautiful ikat, sarongs, Indian sari material (as low as Rp20,000 per meter) and delicate lace, to modern prints, glitzy brocades, Chinese satins, chiffons, tulle and organza, crepes as well as synthetics like rayon. The shops may all seem to look alike, but actually some specialize in certain types of fabrics.

Compare prices in at least three different shops and start bargaining at half the price asked. Touts and salespeople may be pushy, so just take your time browsing. Mostly appealing to a local clientele, off-the-rack clothing is also sold, particularly Balinese traditional dress for temple festivals as well as scarves and pashmina. If you have an eye for matching colors, you can easily find just the right fabric for a local tailor to make or copy a kebaya (a traditional top worn to ceremonies) or other garment, buy factory-made batik to be hemmed for a sarong, order color-rich home furnishings, or purchase lengths of beautiful untouched fabric for gifts. Some of the cotton batik and print fabric - with designs of geckoes, elephants, sea horses, Japanese Naruto, and other offbeat motifs - are appropriate for making children’s clothes. Both imported and domestically produced silk of reasonable quality is also available (real silk burns slowly and smells like burning hair while fake silk burns quickly and smells like burning plastic).

Park (Rp2000) either in the above - or below ground parking lots at nearby Badung Market. Or just take a taxi.

Recycle coffee grounds! Still-warm grinds can be used for smoothing the hands, as a skin exfoliate or scrub if mixed with olive oil to get rid of cellulite, as a skin mask, to soften and add shine to hair, as compost, to add nutrients to garden soil, as a fertilizer for indoor or outdoor plants that prefer acidic soil like rosebushes, hydrangeas, azaleas and rhododendrons, steep in liquid to spray plants to repel ants, snails, slugs and littering cats, to soften your dog’s coat and repel fleas, to deodorize a freezer (add a few drops of vanilla), to rub on hands to get rid of unpleasant food prep odors, hang in cheesecloth to absorb bad odors in closets, as a dust inhibitor on dusty surfaces, as an abrasive cleaner to scour grimy or greasy objects, to remove scratches on furniture, to dye paper or fabric brown (if steeped in warm water), as a medium in which to grow mushrooms.

Shipping to Java? Hire a truck from Bali to Java dirt cheap if you catch one that has just unloaded its goods. The driver doesn’t want to go back empty, so he is looking for loads to carry on his return trip. To menyewa truk balen (rent a returning truck), the cost depends on the distance. Usually to carry a big load to Surabaya costs at least Rp3-4 million for big truck, but if you catch an empty truck that doesn’t want to go back empty it may cost only Rp1,750,000Rp2 million. To carry goods to central Java, it usually costs Rp 4 million but truk yang kembali may cost only Rp2 million.

Try Terminal Pesiapan in Tabanan but a much bigger cargo lorry terminal is at Terminal Barang on Jl. Gunung Galunggung Denpasar. From Terminal Ubung, head in the direction of Gilimanuk on Jl. Bypass and take the first left after Ubung.

The Wandering Artists of Museum Pasifika

by Ines Wynn

In the touristy enclave of Nusa Dua, amidst luxurious resorts and upscale shopping, there is a unique attraction that lays undiscovered by tourists and locals alike. Yet it is well worth a look; in fact, it would be the perfect excursion on a rainy day or when the occasion warrants a little break from the relentless tropical sun and blinding white sand beaches. Yes, it’s a museum but there is nothing stuffy, boring, dark or pedantic about it. The place is an open, airy, breezy collection of Balinese style buildings that are interconnected and invite an easy stroll around the museum’s stunning collection of artwork.

Pasifika Museum is more like a private gallery, displaying an art patron’s wonderful collection of treasures. And that is exactly what it is, because the core of the museum’s contents is indeed a personal collection of art gathered over many years and displayed for the benefit of art-minded people. This passionate collector is Philippe Augier, a French expat who has adopted Bali as his second home and found it to be the ideal environment for the expression of the theme that is at the heart of his assemblage of artworks. Pasifika houses a collection of over 600 works by 140 different artists from 20 different nationalities. There are 400 paintings, 200 sculptures and other diverse artwork such as totems and textiles, all with a unifying theme: that of celebrating the wandering artist. In this case, European artists wandering all over the Pacific, painting the local colors, landscapes and cultures, and leaving their imprints and influence on local artists. The result is a wonderful amalgamation of work that celebrates the richness of tropical cultures and countries, a fascinating voyage of discovery that culminates in the meeting of Asian and Pacific cultures in Bali. This is what distinguishes Pasifika from the other notable museums in Bali. With some exceptions, such as Raden Saleh, Affandi, Hendra, Wianta and Nyoman Gunarsa, the museum does not seek to showcase the work of contemporary Balinese or Indonesian artists, since these artists are already well represented by the big museums and galleries in Ubud, such as the Neka, Arma and Rudana museums.

Instead, Pasifika Museum focuses on the concept of the intrepid artist-travelers who journeyed across the Pacific and were inspired and influenced by the exotic locales they visited. French painter Paul Gauguin, whose Tahiti-inspired work is world famous, was considered to be the first modern wandering artist and set the tone for many other European artists who made the same voyage of discovery in his wake. In the first part of the 20th century, artists like Walter Spies, Rudolf Bonnet, Arie Smit, Miguel Covarrubias, Adrien le Mayeur de Merprés, Antonio Blanco, and many others wandered across the Pacific and ultimately visited or settled in Bali where their work often attained the high point of their artistic career.

Together with the Indonesian co-founder of the museum and a talented curator, Philippe actively searches for art everywhere in the world that will illustrate this concept. Always on a treasure hunt for works that suit the theme of the museum: at auctions, flea markets and curio shops; by contacting family members or descendants of Pacific-wandering artists to locate more artwork or simply to gather pertinent information or interesting stories related to the work they acquire. Their mission is to share these treasures with a wider audience and to leave a legacy to Bali and the Indonesian people that will attest to the esoteric and mystical attraction that this island exerts upon artists from all corners of the world. The museum started with a core collection of private artworks and is added onto with works on loan from other museums and private collectors.

Wandering through the 11 airy rooms of the museum, one gets an indelible impression of the enormous talent that is exhibited at Pasifika. The rooms are laid out like a geographical sampling by countries where the original artists or artwork came from.

Starting with the Indonesian Room, some exceptional work by a few local artists are on display such as the talented Ida Bagus Nyoman Rai with his often humorous, often acerbic cartoon-like ink drawings of local characters and situations; the Taksu-inspired paintings of Nyoman Gunarsa, colonial topics and subjects of Raden Saleh and a few modern works by Affandi and Hendra Gunawan.

The European influence is felt in Rooms 2-6 starting with Italian artists such as Emilio Ambron, Renato Cristiano, Romualdo Locatelli; followed by Dutch artists Willem Gerard Hofker, Arie Smit, Ernst Agerbeek, and others. The French room shows works

by Lea Lafugie, Gabrielle Ferrand, Andre Maire, etc. Swiss artist Theo Meier has his own special exhibit in Room 6, entitled Pacific Escapade. It should be noted that Museum Pasifika has the largest and best collection of works by this artist on d i s p l a y. T h e e x h i b i t includes some 45 works and is divided into 3 parts: Gods, Spirits and Demons; B e a u t y, D e s i r e a n d Seduction; and Magic, Mythical Bali. Theo Meier represents one of the best examples of the museum’s Asia-Pacific theme. He lived in Tahiti, then moved to Bali for 25 years before settling in Thailand for the remainder of his life.

These Indo-European rooms also contain works by Charles Sayers, Walter Spies, Antonio Blanco, Miguel Covarrubias, Donald Friend and the last painting of Le Mayeur, Women Offering to the Sacred Pond, dated 1958. This painting was a tribute to Le Mayeur’s wife Ni Pollok, in recognition of her dedicated care in the final years of his life. It was kept by the Pollok family for a long time and hidden from public view –and potential buyers- until it was recently acquired by the museum.

C h a r l e s Sayers’s gorgeous painting, Portrait of Boy with Fighting Cock, also has a romantic story behind it. Sayers (1901-1943) was a talented Dutch artist, born in colonial Java. He received several important commissions to paint official portraits and other works for the Dutch colonial government. He also lived and worked in Bali for a number of years and Bali’s culture certainly enriched his bright palette. A large number of his works are now on display at The Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. Among its archives was a photo of Portrait of Boy with Fighting Cock that was painted in Bali in the 1920’s, but for many years the Institute’s curator was not able to locate the painting or at least verify that it was still in existence. Here and there some clues were found; the painting appeared on the book cover of the French edition of Somerset Maugham’s short story collection The Casuarina Tree, published in 1929.

F i n a l l y, a d i s t a n t family member of Sayers was located in a small town in the Netherlands who was actually in possession of this panting. By intermediary of the Tropical Institute’s efforts, Pasifika Museum was able to purchase the painting directly from the owner. It is a true masterpiece and now occupies a prominent position in the Indo-European collection. Charles Sayers, unfortunately, died very young in Burma as a war prisoner of the Japanese Army, when he was working on the Burma railway over the river Kwai.

The Indo-China room celebrates local and European artists from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The paintings from Vietnamese artists Le Pho, Bui Xuan Phai, Nyuyen Van Ty and Vu Cao Dam are especially riveting. They were students at the Hanoi Ecole des Beaux Arts which was set up by the French in 1934. Vietnam, along with Bali, is recognized as having the highest art capability

in the Pacific.

Sculptures by American Malvina Hoffman are displayed in various rooms. This talented artist was a pupil of Rodin. She made 120 life size bronze statues of members of the diverse human cultural groups which were placed in the Hall of Man at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. One of the sculptures on display at Pasifika, Javanese Dancer, was actually found at a flea market in Paris. It had previously been exhibited at the Orsay Museum in Paris. Other sculptures of Javanese, Balinese and Cambodian boys were bought at small auctions.

The Asian Room surveys works by artists from Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, China, Japan, and Tibet. The Polynesian room has colorful works by Nicolai Michatouchkine and Aloi Pilioko; and a not-to-be-missed exquisite Paul Gauguin work. Gauguin was the trail blazer for the wandering artists. You could say he started the exodus of that band of rag-tag, bohemian type artists who wanted to push their art beyond the boundaries of Europe-focused imagination. Though Gauguin’s works were certainly the inspiration and instigation, the other wandering artists were not content just to portray the imaginary Tahiti-like lush landscapes and beautiful maidens, as painted by Gauguin; they sought to portray their vision of paradise closer to the reality of the landscapes, culture and people they found in their pacific wanderings.

A striking display of Balinese Barong, Rangda and other mythical figures livens up a special exhibit of the biggest Hindu holy book, Bhagavad-Gita in Indonesia. The book is 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and weighs a ton. Another special exhibit in the Pacific room showcases tribal art from Melanesia, Polynesia, and other pacific islands. Beautiful masks, totems, labor tools and implements used for fishing, hunting, and ceremonial rites display the remarkable cultures that are at the basis of so many Indonesian art forms. The last room of the museum is dedicated to Indonesian textiles and shows a small but exquisite collection of ceremonial cloths from the first part of the 20th Century from Palembang, Sumatra, Sumba, Timor, and Sulawesi.

The Pasifika Museum organizes regular and special events through its cultural center. On a monthly basis, groups of school children are invited to explore the works in the museum as part of a recognition tour of their heritage. They get involved in fun activities like drawing and painting. Other public events are held for special exhibitions, the acquisition of new works, book launchings, etc. In keeping with the theme of the museum, the latest book launch commemorated the last voyage of famous French explorer Jean François de Galaup, count of Lapérouse who set out to complete the Pacific discoveries of James Cook but disappeared during the expedition. This book, called “Le Voyage de la Korrigane “by Christian Coiffier, curator at the Premier Art museum in Paris, describes an expedition of the early 1930‘s that sought to retrace the last voyage of the count of Lapérouse.

For the tourists and expats who would like to understand more about the interconnection of Balinese and Pacific art on the one hand and the Indo-European influence on the other, this museum is a treasure chest. It is an eye- opening and riveting experience that will take your understanding of Asia-Pacific art and culture to the next level. As the museum founder so aptly explains, subject matter and technique are the basis of true art. And this is amply represented at Museum Pasifika. That is why this museum is truly an undiscovered gem. For a great preview of their exhibits, check out the website www.museum-pasifika.com.

Location: Pasifika Museum, BTDC Area, Block P (across from the Sogo entrance of the Bali Collection shopping center) Nusa Dua. Open daily from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm.

FOOONG WHAT? (History of Feng Shui)

by Maxine Silva “What do you do?” asked the elegantly coiffed Balinese lady. “I do Feng Shui.” I replied. “Fooong what?”

most often in the selection or “sying” of land for burial sites. This same practice continued for centuries and Feng Shui was only for the elite.

Fung shwaaaaay!” leaning on the aaaaay.

“Oh, Fooong shweee, I love it!”

I smiled “Yes, me too.” I had forgotten I was in Bali.

Mandarin is the national language of China and the Mandarin pronunciation is fung shway. But, no matter what you call the Chinese art of placement, it has been practiced around the world for millennia.

It has its roots in nearly every culture and throughout the centuries, Feng Shui has been extensively employed from the pyramids of Egypt, to the Mayan Ruins, to the famed burial t o m b o f t h e Ta j Mahal. Recently finding its way to the West, it has gained great popularity, as people have come to realize its power.

This ancient Chinese philosophy of creating harmony and balance in the environment is a Pagodas designed with upcurving roof lines b e c o m i n g household word. As to keep sha (negative energy) away from our communications neighbours technology expands and people are becoming more environmentally conscious, the need for solutions to heal our damaged, suffering planet Earth is becoming paramount. If we pay attention to our environment, we can create a better existence; as our environment goes, so we go! Feng Shui is a Universal Truth.

Feng Shui literally means wind and water; however this is an incomplete picture, as a few Chinese calligraphy characters can tell an entire story. Feng Shui teaches us what we already intuitively know of the interconnectedness and union of all things – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. We are then able to look at our environment with a wider vision and express our individual essence into the landscape. Maybe a little esoteric, but Feng Shui gives a new perspective to viewing your life and incorporating into it, the space where you live, work and play. In most cases, Feng Shui involves just plain common sense. If a light bulb is burned out, replace it, if a faucet is leaking, call a plumber, if a door sticks, fix it!

So, where did all this start? I will begin by saying that EVERYTHING is ENERGY and it’s in constant motion. You may not always be able to feel it through your five senses, but science has conclusively proven that environmental energy has an impact upon all life forms.

More than 4000 years ago, Chinese astronomers believed this intuitively, as well as through their scholarly pursuits. In their studies of the Heavens (Cosmos) they saw the relationship between celestial bodies and the Earth. They described man, as the connection point or conduit, between the two. Thus, the framework for Feng Shui was laid down by these scholars. It was known as Kanyu, meaning – as above, so below. It was a guarded secret and the texts, teachings Master studying Astrology and Astronomy and practice were initially used for the benefit of the Chinese Imperial Family, but

The Great Wall constructed following valley, mountain and water courses according to the wisdom of Feng Shui

During these times, Chinese scholars studied the correlations between the sky, land, weather systems, human and animal life on Earth, and how they all interacted. They noticed with the change of the seasons, the cycle of life was always in a state of flux. They observed how the winter solstice (yin) gave birth to spring (yang) and how summer solstice gave birth to winter (yin). This gave rise to the Yin/Yang Theory of duality and polarity, positive/negative.

They observed the balance and symmetry that existed when good “chi” was present – warm sun, gentle water, cool breeze, verdant valleys. But, they took note how these same energies could become a negative force “sha”, if natural conditions were out of alignment – scorching sun, raging tides, fierce winds and desert.

They realized that energy flows like water and will search out the path of least resistance. When blocked, a small stream can become a destructive torrent.

Feng Shui Masters and Chinese Sages alike, developed their core beliefs by observation and “hands-on” practices. Through their communion with Heaven and Earth, the entire system of Chinese astrology, cosmology, Chinese medicine, numerology, I Ching, all compasses and mathematical calculations have been derived from teachings of the spiritual, philosophical gurus of ancient China.

More than three thousand years later, between 1271 AD and 1279 AD Kublai Khan, the first non-Chinese Emperor to conquer China, moved the Chinese capital to Dadu, now present day Beijing.

Kublai was aware of the meridian “Chi” line from the Himalayas in Tibet, ending in the mountain ridges near Dadu, the perfect spot to conduct his military exercises. According to the calculations of Feng Shui Masters, Dadu (Beijing) was known to have the highest “Chi” energy in the known world!

During the reign of Emperor Yongle 1403 AD – 1424 AD, Ming Dynasty (1368 AD – 1644 AD) the site of the first Ming Dynasty Burial Tomb was chosen. Great care was taken to ensure the correct location. Master Feng Shui practitioners (those who had studied for 50 years with a Master) were chosen for this delicate task. A mistake could be disastrous, as the Chinese believed that the spirits would never feel at ease and would bring devastation to the land and its people.

The correct location for a tomb is similar to a residential site and the early rulers were intimately involved in this process. It was important for the structure to be incorporated into its surroundings and be protected from the evil spirits of the north winds, while open to the benevolent influences of the south. Rivers and streams, whenever possible needed to run at the south end of the plot and never through it. As it was considered very bad luck to alter the course of a waterway; this created additional challenges. There always had to be a mountain in the north for protection, ideally with undulating hillsides to the left and right, tapering down to the southern border. All positions needed auspicious and pleasing views. Today, Feng Shui calls for the same attributes of a sheltered space, facing south, dry with a water source nearby and a pleasing vista. This is called the Armchair.

Emperor Yongle constructed what is today Tian An Men Square (The Forbidden City) in Beijing, as China’s New Northern Capital.

The site had once been Kublai Khan’s Winter Palace. Folklore says Yongle received the plans from the hands of a Taoist monk, who had descended from Heaven for that purpose. Yongle required every able-bodied man to work unpaid for thirty days

each year, until the compound was finished. In 1420 AD Emperor Yongle moved into his palace. After everything was completed, Yongle executed all the Feng Shui Masters he had originally consulted. He did not want their “secrets” to be told, or to fall into the hands of commoners.

In the design of the Forbidden City, Feng Shui principles were very well utilized. It’s a box within a box, within a box. All three boxes are aligned along the Meridian “Chi” line where it was believed the Emperor’s power flowed. Symmetry is pervasive.

The Imperial Palace is centre stage, while the Altar of Heaven and the Altar of Agriculture balance either side. Social and political order were affected by the equilibrium of Heaven, Earth and Man and symbolized by a circle, square and triangle.

Heaven was the supreme force, the Emperor its designated representative on Earth. The Emperor’s charge was to maintain this balance, or pay the price of famine, drought, flood and anarchy. Yin/Yang Theory is expressed through the wide expanses of space which are yin, in front of the monumental halls representing yang. But, Hong Kong skyline designed with advice believe it or not, today in from Feng Shui Masters the name of modernization, the Chinese have made room for a Starbucks in the middle of the square. Blasphemy!

The complex covers 250 acres and has 9,999 ½ rooms. The Chinese believe that Heaven has 10,000 rooms, so The Forbidden City was constructed in deference to Heaven, with one half room less. No building could be taller than the walls of the Palace. At the Meridian Gate, which is the main gate and the mouth of Chi, the doorway is square symbolizing Earth and is external. The inner sanctum has a round configuration, representing Heaven.

Beijing remained the official seat of government and The Forbidden City the main palace of the Emperor, until China became a Republic in 1911. Over the span of five hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived in The Forbidden City, the last one Emperor Puyi, until 1912. Even Chairman Mao got in on the act.

For those of you who have witnessed his portrait, it is directly placed along the prime meridian line in Tian An Men Square.

I went to China in 2002 to study Feng Shui, just after 9/11 had occurred only 12 miles from my home. Don’t know exactly why I decided to go, but perhaps it had something to do with the huge energy shift in the world at that time. I was on a course of selfdiscovery and wanderlust.

Travelling across China, by plane, boat, bus, car and on foot, my colleagues and I managed to keep the over-zealous vendors at bay, with a smile and a “bu yao, xie xie” (boo yow, shay shay) “No, I don’t want it! Thank you”. Didn’t know this was a precursor of what was to come, when I first arrived in Bali in 2009. There’s a reason for everything!

Incredulously, we were cautioned not to discuss the purpose of our visit to China. Feng Shui, we were told, is considered a religion and not permitted to be practiced there. Imagine, this is where everything originated. Nevertheless, heeding the warning, we were very careful. Plain clothes police dotted Tian An Men Square and The Forbidden City, so mum was the word! So many adventures – but for another time.

As I design my life here in Ubud, I carry the treasures from this wonderful experience in my heart and soul. I have felt and still do feel how Feng Shui works with the circulation and flow of the life force “Chi”. Creating harmony and balance, it provides a plethora of ways to select and fabricate an ideal living or work space, bringing prosperity, productivity and peace.

Namaste.
