SCHEDULE THAT Easter Sunday @ KU DE TA (20 April) Easter is always a time for change and new beginnings. The start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere with new life beginning and the Àowers start to bloom and trees show their first buds. The end of the long, gloomy winter too – not that that is a concern here in Bali! If you are Christian, let us not forget this auspicious occasion too. Easter is a time for celebration and KU DE TA always knows how to put on an extra special extravaganza and this day is no exception. All the traditions of Easter come to KU DE TA. Entertainment is provided for the whole family with an Easter egg hunt and colouring competition for the kids. Colonal Red will provide the sounds for the afternoon. A four course set lunch has been carefully prepared. All in all this is one of the most highly recommended places to spend this special day. Bookings are absolutely essential as this is always a sell out event. When Cost Where Contact

environment is a notable topic which will be addressed. The travel and tourism industry in Bali is as we all know constantly in the media and a topic for discussion. Those of us who were here during the nineties and before have seen an unprecedented growth and expansion in Bali, not always for the better. Let us hope that some of the issues will be addressed and certainly to the right people. Bali is unique and amazing and continues to attract thousands of visitors and as much as I have travelled to many places, the Balinese hospitality particularly in the up market hotels is the best.

Introduction Workshop for a Craniosacral Practitioner Programme (27 April) For anyone interested in becoming a Craniosacral Practitioner this workshop offers an introduction to the practice. Readers may not know much about this type of therapy but basically it is a gentle way of working with the whole body using light touch. Changes can occur in the body, mind and spirit during and after each session. A Craniotherapist uses his or her ¿ngers to listen to you and your body responds the sensitive touch by beginning to listen to itself. There are all sorts of reasons people go form Craniosacral Therapy including physical problems such as headaches or bad backs and emotional problems that have been harboured over time. Others might go along for ongoing support in their busy lives and to meet daily challenges. It is suitable for everyone because it is gentle and non-invasive. Ultimately, Craniotherapy supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself, as well as helping to reduce stress and build your underlying energy. With a bit of background information and an interest in alternative therapies, this introductory session could appeal to readers out there. The training is taught by Frédéric Cherri, an international leader in the ¿eld. Courses leading to this quali¿cation will be offered at the end of this month. The quali¿cation is recognized in many countries in the world. Spaces are still available so do book your place as soon as possible. When Cost Where Contact

Sunday Market in the Jungle (Sundays) It has been a while since I have visited Bali Zoo and I do hope that the animals are well taken care of as other zoos have taken central headlines recently as to the state of the animals in their care. As far as I remember, although some of the enclosed areas are quite small all the animals seemed to be well taken care of. But this Sunday Market will de¿nitely appeal to the little ones with a petting zoo and a chance to feed some animals. There are lots of activities to keep the young ones occupied with craft activities, face painting, painting classes, a sandpit as well as wildlife education. A garage sale will offer a few bargains and of course a market would not be complete without food stalls. It is a nice drive out to Sukawati too.

ARDEN DOCTOR

The Finer Points on Soil Types

As gardeners we constantly work with soil, but often know little about it. Different soil types will affect the types of plants that you can grow. Soil is the matter which provides the roots the majority of ingredients necessary for successful growth.

issue can be the lack of moisture and nutrient retention. The addition of organic matter such as compost, animal manure, leaf mould, vermiculite, loam or lime, will improve nutrient and water holding capacity.

The question often comes up, what exactly is soil and how do we get the best from it? Soils can be either natural or manufactured, and is a composition or soup made up of broken down rocks mixed with plant and animal matter. The properties of your soil will largely be determined by the relative distribution of organic matter within it, as well as the type of parent rock it originates from. The soil type is important because it tells you how it will interact with water, the ease of cultivation, its nutrient content and the resultant need for fertilisation. Soil can be broadly classi¿ed into three types; sand, clay and loam.

Clay soils are susceptible to compaction, which occurs when soils are compressed and particles pushed together reducing the amount and size of pores. Compaction can be caused by the use of heavy machinery over the soil, or even regular foot traf¿c. A compacted soil will have many undesirable characteristics. There will be less in¿ltration of water and more runoff leading to surface puddles, water-logging and soil erosion leading to stunted or poor plant growth.

Sandy soils are any soil with more than 70% sand and less than 15% clay. Sandy soil has the largest particles among the different soil types. It’s dry and gritty to the touch, and the particles have large pore spaces between them. These types of soils are highly aerated, allow for rapid in¿ltration and drainage of water, have low water holding capacity, contain low nutrient content, and remain loose and easy to cultivate with no plasticity or stickiness. As water drains rapidly through sandy soil the roots, especially those of seedlings, don’t have a good chance to utilise the nutrients ef¿ciently as they are quickly carried away by the run-off. The upside to sandy soil is that it is light to work with and doesn’t waterlog. A simple hand test can be used to determine your soil type moistening the soil and rolling it into a ball to analyse the predominant soil particles. When you roll the wet sandy soil no ball can be formed and it crumbles through your ¿ngers easily. Clay soils are made up at least 35% clay. If moistened, clay soil feels sticky, and rolls up easily into a ball or sausage shape. Clay particles are tiny and pack down on top of each other rendering clay soils heavy and highly compacted, allowing only slow movement of air and water into and through the soil, hence they easily become waterlogged. On the plus side they ordinarily have a high nutrient content for plant growth, though can be dif¿cult to cultivate and become sticky when wet and hard when dry. Clay soils are also prone to expanding when wet and contracting when dry, which can lead to visible cracking on the ground surface. Loamy soils are the middle ground between sandy and clay, therefore these types of soils can be variable, some contain the properties of sands while others will be more similar to clays. This is the type of soil that gardeners usually prefer due to its all round suitability to all types of cultivation. Loam has a tight hold on water and nutrients but also drains well, and air moves freely between soil particles down to the roots. The wet feel test for loam yields a smooth, partly gritty, partly sticky ball that crumbles easily. Methods for improving soil. Well conditioned soils are more often created rather than found. There are many ways to condition your soil and plants, such as by adding compost, mulch, worms or simply spraying leaves and soil with compost tea. For sandy soil the major

For clay soils the addition of organic matter or sand will render it more friable and less compact. Adding gypsum which contains calcium will break up a heavily compacted clay soil making it easier to cultivate. Gypsum is often referred to as a ‘clay breaker’ for this reason. When it’s added to clay a chemical reaction occurs and the particles bind together, forming crumbs. The new crumb structure improves aeration and drainage of clay soils, rendering them easier to handle and more hospitable to plants. Gypsum has the added bene¿t that it will help any soil affected by salt, known as saline or sodic soils. If worked into sodic soils gypsum liberates the salt so that water can hold and carry that salt down through the soil, away from the topsoil required for growing. Clay soils should never be worked when they are very wet, as the entire structure can be damaged.

Soil type can be highly variable in a relatively small geographical area such as within one suburb or even within a single garden. Often a soil can be a duplex type meaning it has two different layers, for example a sandy top soil with a layer of clay underneath, whilst the sandy top soil may also have different layers within itself. Mixing the clay subsoil with the sandy topsoil and adding compost, (the universal soil improver) will produce a loam which is the ideal growing medium for pretty much any type of plant. Compost is a great way to improve soil. It improves the structure, water holding capacity and provides a slow release source of nourishment for your plants. The beneficial organisms released by regular additions of compost to your soil will solve many of your gardening problems. Compost adds life to the garden.

C/Ho/G-29 May 13

Natural soils greatly differ greatly from potting mixes and manufactured soils which may not contain any soil at all. They could be a mix of any number of materials such as coarse sand, peatmoss, perlite, vermiculite, pine bark, sawdust, ash, green waste and soil. When purchasing soil mixes and potting mixes, remember that cheap soil and cheap potting mixes are more than likely to be a bad bargain, you can’t compromise on quality if you want the best performance from your plants, so start composting!

BALI DISABLED POWERLIFTER WINS WORLD BRONZE Bali’s 24 year old Ni Nengah Widiash, won the bronze medal at the IPC World Powerlifting Championships 41 kg class in Dubai on Saturday 5 April. In the event which saw Turkey’s Nazmiye Muslu set a new world record of 103kg, Nengah who has been training at Bali Sports Foundation’s sportshall secured third place with a lift of 95kg. Nengah affected by polio from a young age, has had a successful start to 2014 with a gold in the 2014 ParaSEAGames in Myanmar in January, and now has her sights set on the the Para Asian Games in Incheon, Korea in October.

secret monitoring and video surveillance of the game as it developed. The system that Elinescu and Wladow were discovered to be using involved two areas: one that indicated if they had fewer than two cards in a certain suit – and that specified which suit – and one that indicated the ‘preferred lead’. Contract Bridge involves a bidding process that takes place before a hand is played, and by communicating at this time, the pair placed themselves at an unfair advantage to their opponents.The doctors are to be stripped of their gold medals, pending a possible appeal, and the American team will be named the champions in their place.

BRIDGE CHEATS IN BALI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

BALI MISSES OUT ON NATIONAL GAMES

Some may say Bridge is not a sport, however which ever way you look at it,it is competitive, and this report shows the length people go to win legally or not.

After contributing many top athletes for Indonesia, Papua has finally gotten its chance to showcase its homegrown talent in front of the nation as the host of the 2020 National Games, the Sports Ministry announced on Thursday. The decision was taken during the National Sports Committee’s (KONI) annual meeting early March, and will make Papua only the second province in eastern Indonesia to host the Games after South Sulawesi held the 1957 edition. Papua ran against two other strong candidates, Bali and Aceh, in its bid. The chairman of the Bali National Sports Committee (KONI), Ketut Suwandi,said that his team must accept the minister”s decision, even if it was not the outcome desired for Bali to host the 2020 games.

This report comes in from the Telegragh. The Bridge community knows them as “The German Doctors”, but they will forever more be known as the world champions that cheated – and coughed - their way to the top. Michael Elinescu, 61, and Etscho Wladow, 71, two medical doctors from Germany, have been found guilty of cheating at the game’s world championships in Bali last September, where they both walked away with gold medals. The pair were found out after a lengthy investigation involving computer analysis of a video recording of their final game, in which they won their gold medals. In a case that resembles the “Coughing Major”, the man who used a system of coughs to win the top prize on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”, the investigation found the two doctors had constructed a series of coughing codes to signal to each other which cards they held. The World Bridge Foundation (WBF) found the pair “guilty of reprehensible conduct” at a two-day hearing in Dallas, Texas, and have been banned from playing together at one of the body’s tournaments for life. In addition, they have been banned from playing separately for 10 years. The investigation was sparked by a complaint from the German players’ American opponents. One of the US players became suspicious of their actions at the d’Orsi World Senior Bowl, which remains the biggest event in the bridge world. Eddie World started noting down each time one of his German opponents coughed, and which cards he believed these signals corresponded with. This information was then passed to Max Bavin, the English chief referee, who authorised the

BALI MEMORIAL RUGBY GAME AT HK 7’s On the eve of the legendary Hong Kong Rugby 7’s on April 5 and 6, another rugby game took place to remember Bali 10’s players who perished in the 2002 Bali Bombings. Garnering considerable media interest, twelve years on, the survivors from Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong clubs that were devastated, losing 27 players and supporters between them gathered in Hong Kong to commemorate the tragedy with a memorial game embodying the spirit of rugby. As survivor Andy Douglas from Singapore Cricket Club told CNN “If they [the terrorists] had embraced the spirit of the game, they would never have committed such a senseless act,” said Douglas. “It’s a game of togetherness in which you embrace your opponent as much as your teammate at the end of the game.”

“You say Aluminum and I say Aluminium” Dr A L Minium was a clever chap. He was the man who discovered that if you dig brown soil out of the ground, stick it in a huge microwave and blast around 2.7 terragigamegaerbs of power into it it would change into something useful such as a silvery metal that is both light and strong. Mind you if you stick that much energy into anything at all it is bound to change rather radically, you might even manage to change a politician into something useful but dog knows what that might be. With the world’s supply of wood becoming rarer than common sense and even more expensive than a coffee in Ngurah Rai Airport we can assume there will be a dramatic increase in the use of aluminium (or, as those perverse descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers would say, aluminum) for building window and door frames. It is an excellent material for this purpose and in spite of having the aesthetic appeal of a well polished mortuary slab we can only expect that its use will be eagerly taken up once those highly cultured pleonectic members of the construction fraternity realise how much the PAG (Poverty Alleviation Gene) can be appeased by persuading people that aluminium is far more beautiful than wood. Aluminium has certainly revolutionised aircraft. At the start of the second world war we had biplanes made from plywood, canvas and string all stuck together with chewing gum but by the end of the war, a mere five years later we had monoplanes made from aluminium which resulted in a serious decline in the chewing gum industry. Talking of planes we have to wonder if the aircraft industry has been sleeping on the job of late. If I lose my iphone I can remotely find out where it is and disable it, if someone steals my Mercedes I can call the service centre and they can give me its GPS coordinates but if I lose my 300 million dollar aeroplane - “sorry, someone took it out yesterday and we haven’t seen it since.” So the world waits with bated breath, hoping against hope that the black (orange) box will be found before the homing beacon battery runs out with its life of only 30 days although. Unfortunately, when it is found, it probably only kept the recording of the last 2 hours of its final 7 hour flight. Through all this we must not forget the aircraft industry has an absolutely amazing track record of safety. It is also a highly responsible industry that learns from its lessons so we can expect that issues raised by MH370 will be addressed rather quickly but sorry I digress. So, back to aluminium, what’s all the fuss about? Well, as the aircraft industry proves, it is a very useful metal. It is light in weight, it is soft and malleable (that’s a good word isn’t it) making it easy to form, machine and extrude but is rigid enough to be used for lightweight structural purposes such as aeroplane frames (as long as its use is correctly designed). It also resists corrosion (sorry that’s not true) in fact it corrodes quickly forming a dense layer of oxide (aluminium rust if you will) on its surface which protects the metal underneath from further corrosion. This makes it a little tricky to weld but with modern welding techniques (mig and tig) this is easily overcome. It also conducts heat and electricity very well and so it being increasingly used to replace copper for pipes and electrical wiring. Not as effective as copper but when copper costs even more than the donut to go with the coffee at Ngurah Rai airport. On top of all this aluminium is cheap, it is after all the most common element on our planet after oxygen and silicon. It does have a couple of downsides in that it is soft so paint doesn’t stick to it very well and, owing to its high melting point (2,000 degrees C) smelting it takes more electricity than your tumble drier after football on a Saturday afternoon. Aluminium is usually supplied “anodised”. Anodising is an electrical treatment which increases the amount of aluminium oxide (corrosion) on its surface. This oxide layer provides a hard, wear resistant surface that protects the metal underneath from further corrosion and also provides a surface roughness which makes it easier to paint. Anodising also makes the surface porous so it can be stained in useful colours such as black or bronze or in really gaudy pukey gold, pink or blue that remind you of those cheap christmas tree decorations you buy in Annie’s 5 cent Emporium. Aluminium is supplied in a range of very useful extruded sections ranging from simple round tubes to complex sections used for specialist purposes such as curtain rails, car roof racks and artificial insemination equipment for giraffes. It is also used, of course, to makes those clothes racks that inevitably fall apart as you are just placing the

last wet sock of a full load of washing on them. And here we come to why it is being used to make frames for windows and doors. When we make window and door frames from wood we have to cut grooves and slots in the wood to hold the glass or form draft seals, these slots and grooves are costly and wasteful. A well designed aluminium section has these slots already formed plus additional slots for hidden screws, rubber sealing strips or felt draft excluders. The final benefit is a big one - very low maintenance. If you can tolerate that silvery aluminium sheen around your windows (some people don’t like it) then it never needs to be rubbed back and repainted, it won’t rot in the rain and it won’t twist and warp as it dries out. In Indonesia windows and doors are very rarely made to standard sizes and so aluminium frames are usually tailor made on site. The results can be variable to put it ever so mildly. It is important to make sure that they are assembled correctly. You know that frustrated feeling you get when buy a rocking chair kit and you open a box with a strange collection of bits and pieces that just don’t seem to fit together. Whatever you do nothing seems to fit anything else but eventually you assemble it in some sort of fashion but there are bits left over. In desperation you finally find the instructions hidden away at the bottom of the box. Eagerly you open it and start reading.

IMPOTANT: Having found opening with strong stick insert all into half round turning and so tight with screw long careful. You pick up the box and, hidden on a corner somewhere, in small apologetic letters you find the only English that makes any sense at all - Made In China. With unusual shapes and no written instructions you may find that the people assembling your windows and doors don’t know how they are meant to go together. I recently came across dozens of doors made for a large project that had been assembled by 3 different crews, they had all used different methods but in fact none were assembled correctly.

C/Bm/I-27 Nov 13

Another thing to watch for is that they are waterproof. A case of severe water damage to a wall on a building in Serangan was traced back to rain beating against an exposed wall getting into aluminium window frames through the corner joints and from there into the structure of the batako wall. It all goes down to the design of the frames and the method and accuracy of manufacture. Silicone may be used to seal up the window frames but it doesn’t stick very well. Sikaflex is much better.

C/Bm/I-02 April 14

Well designed window frames are self draining, they collect water that penetrates and allow it to drain out in a controlled manner. Things to check for in the construction of aluminium window and door frames are: 1 Properly constructed, this is particularly important if the door has louvres or “plank” panels. 2 Good fit of window and door frames into the walls and with effective corrosion resistant screws. 3 Effective hinges that won’t rust. 4 Good fit of the window into its frame with effective rubber seals. 5 Accurate corner joints. 6 Effective way of replacing broken glass. 7 Doors and windows should not catch their frames. 8 Doors should not catch the floor. 9 Locks and catches all working correctly (lever catches are better than the lift up ones). 10 Inspect for dents and scratches and ask the installer to replace poor quality work. It is a very good idea to find a reputable specialist contractor who guarantees his work (did I say guarantee? Some people do you know). For me personally aluminium is a very poor substitute for the aesthetic beauty of natural wood but the trees are rapidly running out, to say nothing of the loss of our natural environment, and so aluminium presents a very viable and useful option.

A Blurb from the Kulture Kid! By Vaughan Hatch

Why don’t many young Balinese know much about gamelan? C/BM/G-2 Oct. 13

The 20th century popularity of gong kebyar orchestras – originally from North Bali that has a different musical aesthetic from the south, tending to be much flashier and flamboyant –caused dozens of semara pagulingan, semara patangian, semara pandirian and angklung sets to be melted down. In most cases, if a banjar or temple in South Bali had anything but a gong kebyar set, their orchestra would be melted down (normally necessary as a gong kebyar set needs more than double the amount of bronze) to follow the trend of the era.

If You Have a Problem with.....

With a larger range – gong kebyar sets have two as opposed to one octave on most of the instruments and therefore less restriction on playing techniques – these orchestras become the standard for many ceremonial occasions: temple ceremonies, dance performances, weddings and cremations (albeit an additional extra in this case). Even though gong kebyar orchestras adopted their tuning system from gong gede and semara patangian, the instrumentation, order of keys and thickness of the bronze creates a completely different atmosphere. Gong Gede is heavy and stately, semara patangian lyrical and charming, gong kebyar is somewhere in between but normally jumping all over the place capriciously, with much cabaret. This is what young Balinese know as gamelan – after all, there are perhaps more than 30,000 sets on the island. Personally I lament both the loss of the pre-gong kebyar era orchestras and the feeling they created that cannot be replaced by a ‘catch-all’ ensemble. Over the last ten years Mekar Bhuana (our gamelan and dance documentation centre) has been contacted by foreigner and local alike with odd, horrifying requests: joged for purifications, rindik for tooth filings, pendet dancers with recorded music for welcoming guests. This shows me how little gamelan music features in the lives of people in modern Bali. Due to globalization, the kids of Bali would rather be seen playing a western instrument or creating electronic music. Perhaps it won’t be long before the incredible variety of gamelan orchestras will completely be replaced by hybrid catch-all gamelan ensembles, or worse still ‘ethnic spa’ ensembles with a guitar in the forefront and the “inferior” indigenous music relegated to the background… Copyright © Kulture Kid 2014 You can read all past articles of Kulture Kid at www.BaliAdvertiser.biz

PARADISE... IN SICKNESS & IN HEALTH By Kim A. Patra SRN/RM.

Beware the “TomCat” Rove Beetles The body fluids in the rove beetle are a poisonous animal contact toxin. Contact with the beetle can cause a severe skin reaction. This past week I have seen no more than 4 Rove beetle exposures in my office. Two years ago there was an outbreak of this nasty little creature in East Java and also Singaraja but now it seems they have reached South Bali with the cases that I have seen came from Sidakarya and Seminyak. What is a Rove Beetle? The Rove Beetle is small, 7-8mm long. It has a black head with an orange/ red thorax (immediately behind the head). The body is mostly black with a shiny metallic black area that conceals its folded wings and a distinct broad orange/red band towards the tapered tail. Where are Rove Beetles found? Rove beetles inhabit moist environments throughout the world. It usually lives near drainage lines and watercourses. During heavy rains or floods, the beetle may migrate to drier areas. During the daytime, Rove beetles can be seen crawling around on the ground, with their wings hidden, and can resemble ants. Adult Rove beetles are predators of other insects and at night are frequently encountered around light sources How can Rove beetles affect humans? Rove beetles do not bite or sting but their blood contains a strong toxin called pederin that can cause skin and eye irritations. If you crush the beetle the toxin is released and absorbed by your skin. The beetle can be crushed if you swat it like a fly or mosquito or if it collides with you at speed (such as bare skin on a motorbike) and can cause conjunctivitis, severe dermatitis (rash) and serious skin irritation. Initial symptoms include reddening of the skin, and a ‘burning’ sensation. Painful irritation and itching with extensive pustules and blistering of the skin after 4 days

may follow this. The affected areas remain irritated, blistered and sore for 10 days. Toxin on the hands, or exposure near body joints, can spread toxin to other areas of the body and to others. How can I protect myself from the effects of Rove Beetles? Avoid touching Rove beetles. Blow or wash beetles off your skin. Minimize lighting in infested areas at night. Wear long-sleeved and long-legged clothing to minimize exposed skin. Keep insect screens closed on tents to keep the beetles out of bedding. Have bottles of soapy water handy for first aid. Use the buddy system to keep a lookout for beetles on others. If a Rove beetle is accidentally crushed against the skin, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water. The toxin slowly penetrates the skin. Washing shortly after exposure will remove much of the toxin before it has time to harm the skin. FIRST AID There is no specific first aid available for exposure to Rove Beetle toxin. Avoid contact with the beetle. Avoid ingestion. If exposed to Rove Beetle toxin, wash affected area immediately with soapy water, and then use cold compresses, antihistamines, or apply Aloe vera to alleviate the symptoms on exposed areas. I would also suggest an antibiotic cream to avoid any opportunistic infection. Seek medical attention for severe skin reactions to the toxin.

Diet Wars Over - Mediterranean Wins… Fats Vindicated but Sugar Guilty of Health Crimes

You may now stop agonizing over what you eat. What’s always been clear to anyone with the nutritional wit to know it, that the traditional Mediterranean and Asian diets were both healthy and delicious, has now been established as true beyond all reasonable doubt. Ancel Adams, scientist and inventor of WW2 K-Rations, was telling Americans this way back in 1947. Elizabeth David told Brits and the ANZACs as early as 1946. What they told us then and what we all know now, except for the Big Food Barons, is that a Mediterranean diet is not just delicious and nutritious, but people who eat this way live longer and healthier lives, without succumbing to heart disease and strokes, and with greatly diminished risks of diabetes, dementia and cancers. The evidence keeps piling up. In January of this year the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported the results of a study drawn from over 93,000 women of the Women’s Health Initiative 19932008 designed to establish the difference in risk of sudden cardiac death between the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and a Mediterranean diet. The results were dramatic: the Mediterranean Diet was associated with a large and signi¿ cant reduction in risk of sudden cardiac deaths. While there was no comparable risk reduction in deaths as a result of the DASH diet, it is known that this low fat diet reduces blood pressure effectively.

School of Public Health and others de¿ned the Mediterranean Diet as based on “food patterns typical of Crete, much of the rest of Greece, and southern Italy in the early 1960s”. This diet, in addition to “regular physical activity,” emphasizes “abundant plant foods, fresh fruit as the typical daily dessert, olive oil as the principal source of fat, dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt), and ¿sh and poultry consumed in low to moderate amounts, zero to four eggs consumed weekly, red meat consumed in low amounts, and wine consumed in low to moderate amounts”. Total fat in the diet is 25% to 35% of calories, with saturated fat at 8% or less of calories. Olive oil is often considered characteristic of the Mediterranean diet, containing a very high level of monounsaturated fats, most notably oleic acid, which studies show is linked to a reduction in coronary heart disease risk. There is also evidence that the antioxidants in olive oil improve cholesterol regulation and LDL cholesterol reduction, and that it has other anti-inÀammatory and anti-hypertensive effects. A word of caution. Rancid oils, no matter how intrinsically good they may be when freshly pressed, are actively harmful to you when rancid or adulterated. Those of you here familiar with the pervasive odour of ¿ sh fried in rancid oils that wafts around whole neighbourhoods will know what I mean. Alas olive oil, whose fresh aroma is a gift from the Gods is only to be trusted and deliver lots of healthgiving benefits in its cold pressed extra virgin forms and then only under the imprimatur of a trusted organization. The world is rightly suspicious of all the supposedly Italian olive oils, which can come from almost anywhere and be mixed from oils of varying the qualities from many countries and in many cases blended with non-olive oils. So widespread is the problem that today you will probably ¿nd some of best and most reliable olive oils originating in California and Australia.

Wider and more conclusively yet, in February of last year the New England Journal of Medicine published findings of a major clinical trial measuring the direct effects of the Mediterranean Diet on cardiovascular disease. So conclusive were the results that the study was ended after just four years because the results were so very clear it was considered unethical to continue. What the study found was that 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from heart disease can be prevented in people at high risk if they switch to a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, beans, ¿sh, fruits and vegetables, and wine with meals. The research is especially noteworthy in that the diet saved lives among those following it, even though they did not lose weight and most of them were already taking statins, or blood pressure or diabetes What it’s not… Having stated what the Mediterranean Diet is, it is just as drugs to lower their heart disease risk. well to say something on what it is not. It is not, for instance, a license to pig out daily on vast plates of pasta smothered Demonising Fats to Sell Sugar It is a lamentable fact that since 1985 there has been a in creamy, cheesy (processed) sauces. Neither pasta nor massive and well-funded disinformation campaign devised bread, even wholegrain breads should be eaten excesby vested interests in the food and pharmaceutical indus- sively. Real fresh and natural ingredients, moderation and tries, who have co-opted government and the medical sensible sized portions along with regular physical activity establishment, in a program designed to shift the blame are what make such a diet work. for heart disease and stroke away from the re¿ned sugars Conning yourself and gaming the diet (remember: watch they peddle, and where it mostly belongs, onto fat – all those desserts and satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit) will fats, that is except arti¿cially made ones (trans fats). Even negate the bene¿ts. Those Cretan men surveyed back in today Big Food and its creatures in government make it the1960s were seven times less likely to die from heart as dif¿cult as possible for you to tell from food labels just disease and strokes than their US counterpart. Today those how much sugar they have secreted into their otherwise causes of death are still much lower in Crete, but they’ve risen 30% nonetheless. You can put that down to an intasteless low-fat approximations of real food. crease in consumption of sugar and modern convenience Americans and Britons now consume a colossal annual foods, along with a less active life style. What goes for the per capita of 100 lbs (45 to 50 Kg) of sugar, mostly in the Mediterranean diet applies equally in Asia. The Asian Diet hidden form of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) used in Pyramid emphasizes a wide base of rice, rice products, low-fat (diet) sodas and packaged foods of all kinds. And noodles, breads and grains, preferably whole grain and that’s not good…. the Harvard School of Public Health minimally processed foods, topped by another large band reveals a strong correlation between the consumption of of fruits, vegetables, legumes, herbs, nuts and seeds. re¿ned carbohydrates and increased risk of breast cancer, Daily physical exercise, a small amount of natural vegetain addition to the chronic diseases already linked to excess ble oil and a moderate consumption of alcohol are also sugar consumption: diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart recommended daily. disease, metabolic syndrome, asthma and now cancer. What the consensus of scienti¿c opinion is now being permitted to tell us is that some fats are actually good for us, some good in moderation or in low amounts and the only truly bad fats are the food industry’s own trans fats or hydrogenated oils they’ve been selling us for the past quarter of a century in their packaged foodstuffs. Even previously demonised saturated fats, consumed in moderation and in “real” food forms can be good for you (butter, eggs, coconut oil, etc.). The Med Diet – what it is… For those who didn’t already know about it, the Mediterranean Diet was officially launched on the American public in 1995 when by Dr Walter Willett of Harvard’s

It seems to me a Mediterranean diet is a diet only in the general sense. It’s a great relief to relax and eat deliciously and naturally knowing that it’s keeping you healthy and that your only requirement is not to overeat and to exercise reasonably regularly.

FIGHTING FAT

What are the two things that most women desire? To be slim and young looking. Look in any women’s magazine and you’re bound to ¿nd stories on a celebrity’s diet plan or advertisements to lose weight or eliminate cellulite. For years women have been spending fortunes on looking for a miracle cure. I would be a millionaire if I had a magic wand to eliminate fat and cellulite instantly. Unfortunately no such wand exists. Eliminating fat and cellulite from your body takes time and determination.

make the suction comfortable and effective. The double heads were directed over my entire body using duel vacuums to lift up the skin and move the toxins and fat for drainage. This was simultaneously stimulating and soothing. But following this the therapist switched to a third single head to work on the cellulite, focusing on the areas that needed it. At times this treatment bordered on being slightly painful, but the therapist can reduce the intensity for comfort. Depending on how much cellulite you have a minimum of ten treatments is required. You can have this treatment daily if you wish.

Over the years I’ve tried numerous treatments that were advertised to ful¿ll my desire, mostly with little results. I’ve tried using a plastic horse brush to scrub my thighs, used creams promising to eliminate cellulite, drunken jamu concoctions and even had numerous injections of mesotherapy. None of these lived up their promises for me, just providing minimal improvement. Yes, going to the gym and working out certainly does help as well as watching what you eat.

The special head can be used on any area of the body where you would like to burn fat. This forty minute treatment is so relaxing I almost fell asleep. Nestetique has the only one in Bali. Ideally you should follow this treatment with a lymphatic massage to move that melted fat out of the body. Treatments should be spaced a week apart to allow time for the melted fat to evacuate the body.

The massage focuses on the areas to be treated using strong pressure to break up the fat cells to vacate your body. Of course you will need a number of treatments until you get the results that you’re looking for, but it is effective. Nestetique has the vision of providing a multitude of aesthetic treatments for ladies and men living in Bali who would like to improve their body and face and continue to take care of themselves by offering memberships of 3 million a month for a blend of ten treatments. You can’t have the same treatment ten times but mix them during the month. You can work on the body one week and the face the next. There are numerous treatments to choose from with natural products. This is a great way to work on eliminating fat and cellulite. There’s the exception of two treatments for jet peel and Meso T8, which you can only have twice a month. This certainly makes beauty affordable while living in Bali. Located at Istana Kuta Galeria, Blok 7-8 Kuta. www.nestetique.com E: info@nestetique.com Tel. 0361-769120 Mobile 085936182993

MUSIC MATTERS By Toby

The Music Matters review of the top three live music venues in Sanur. Hello fellow live music lovers and welcome to this the fourth, edition of music matters, here in the Bali Advertiser. In this edition my sights are ¿rmly set on Sanur, and why it is a great place for live music, and listing my favorite three venues for live music in the area. Now the only way to explain Sanurs charm as a great place for live music is with a ¿rsthand review of last night’s antics, as I had a few too many (all in the name of professional music journalism) at the Cat and Fiddle Irish Bar and Linga Longa, and caught two great bands doing what they do best. So I’ll kick off with the Cat and ¿ddle house band known as The Leprechauns. The ¿rst thing that registered when I saw both the venue and the band was surprise, I was a bit surprised because ¿rstly I was expecting to see a collection of expats on stage, and secondly I was expecting to be in a live music style bar, I was wrong on both counts! The leprechauns are all Indonesian not a single descendent of the emerald isle between them and the Cat and Fiddle is more a restaurant than a bar really, they serve food, and the atmosphere is that of an eatery or gastro pub. The leprechauns played a good selection of western songs with an Irish twist namely a mic’d up traditional Irish Àute. They played various Irish songs in a pretty thick Bali accent, but as far as their musical talent, they were impressive. Later they switched to playing covers, but in an Irish style, the most memorable being “Whiskey in the jar” with the Àute playing the guitar parts for a very unique and distinctive sound. I also have to say the singer did a great job with this, and even managed to put on a very believable Irish accent while he was singing. All in all I felt the band were very good, although a little bit subdued, probably due to the restaurant setting. The Leprechauns play at the Cat and ¿ddle every Tuesday night and can also be found playing at the Wicked Parrott. The band finished at 11.00 but I definitely wasn’t calling it a night yet! So I headed slightly further down the road to Linga longa bar. The venue has a low key relaxed reggae feel with beanbag style comfortable seating, and spray painted image of the late great Bob Marley. The place was heaving, and de¿nitely a bar not a restaurant, the band didn’t have a stage to play on but were set up on a step facing the main part of the bar. If I could only say one thing about Linga Longa, it would be about the atmosphere, I have been here many times before, and every time the place is buzzing, and it has one of the best atmospheres out of every bar I have been in Bali. The house band is called Harimo, they are again a solely Indonesian outfit, most of them originally coming from Sumatra. They played a varied collection of tunes from artists like, the Rolling Stones, Muse, Coldplay, Bob Marley, Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many more. They allowed

other people to sing and also play, in fact half way through the set a European tourist said he could play guitar, so they let him during some of the songs, also a very talented Australain woman got up and sang some great blues numbers, and even I had a bash at Sweet Home Alabama! The band really doesn’t mind at all but actually encourage you to have a go! I have seen Harimo play here many times before, and they always put on a good show, they are very talented, and also passionate in what they play. They also have some pretty unique instruments, for example, one of the band was playing a djembe drum with a hand shaker strapped to the top of it, so every time he hit the drum, he got the rattle off the shaker as well, kind of like a make shift cymbal. Towards the end of the gig a woman in the bar announced it was her birthday, so Harimo asked her what song she would like. One minute later the whole bar was shouting “Alice Alice? Who the #@!* is Alice”, immediately followed by a power cut, but the crowd were so into it that everyone just kept singing, even though there were no lights, and no one could see the instruments to play!

Harimo is a fun time band with a good repertoire of songs and a great attitude, and Linga Longa as I said before has one of the best atmospheres out of any live music bar on the island well worth a visit. I didn’t get to my third bar. I had had quite enough already, but I have been there enough times to give a rundown on it, The venue is called Casablanca and if you like crazy colorful buildings and variety in music, then this is the place. Casablanca has a large stage and the owner has a passion for live music, so much so that there is a band playing here every night of the week, on Mondays you can catch AZASI - which play Hot Swing Jazz, on Tuesdays you can see the Next Beat and which play pop/rock covers. Wednesdays it’s Kingston a reggae/soul band. Thursday sees the Ripper take to the stage for classic rock covers. Friday is alternative rock with Porte Band. Saturday is Unb’roken a blues rock cover band, and Sundays it’s Capsoul who describe themselves as power pop music. As you can see Sanur has a lot going on when it comes to live music, and I have only covered my favorite three live music venues here, there are many more, but from experience if you are looking for great bands and an awesome evening then one of these three will do the trick or why not try them all!

Say What? Question: My boyfriend is incredibly intelligent and financially well off. He graduated from a prestigious university in Europe. I went to a public university here, and -- sometimes because he has money and is better educated -- he acts condescending. He’s only three years older than I, but he treats me like a youngster he has to teach things to. He calls me “kiddo” and is always correcting my grammar. Does it matter how much money someone has, or where they went to school? Should I put up with my boyfriend’s patronizing ways? Dr. ZZ: There are two ways to look at this situation: either your boyfriend is suffering from his own insecurities and taking them out inappropriately on you, or else you are mistaking his pet name and corrective criticisms and misinterpreting his actions. Because you’re the one asking the question, and because people who act like grammar police are annoying, we’ll imagine it’s the first scenario: your boyfriend is a bit of a jerk, and you need to start standing up for yourself. One of the best ways to do this in a relationship is to make name-calling into a shared inside joke. You need to be confident enough to pull this off, but the next time he corrects your grammar or says something derogatory, try shooting back with a snappy one-liner like, “Thank you, Professor! We are all exhilarated by your unique point of view.” When you start taking back your power, he will stop talking down at you. Earn that respect. Don’t let him humiliate you. If this doesn’t work, and you continue to feel as if he is treating you in a patronizing way, then you have no choice but to end the relationship. You deserve to be with someone who respects you and treats you like an equal. Question: I have a weird situation going on with my sister that I don’t know how to manage. My parents and I are estranged, and after many years of denial and telling myself that it was all my fault (it never was, it was just abuse that I was chalking up to my parents “loving me”), and after countless hours of expensive therapy to get me to the mental Promised Land, I have realized the danger that my sister is in. She lives very close to my parents, both of whom are extremely controlling, manipulative and mentally and emotionally abusive. My father, especially, feels the need to meddle in everyone’s life and is always trying to “one up” people with the amount of money he makes and with his resume of sterling accomplishments. He recently decided that I wasn’t good enough to talk to anymore (almost verbatim). The only thing I can deduce is that he hates no longer being able to control me. My sister is continually thrown in the middle, or else she

feels the need to put herself in the middle. Whenever there is an issue between my parents and me, there always seems to be a problem with her as well. When she is not around our parents, I notice she behaves differently. I want to shake her by the shoulders and tell her to get the heck away from them and make a life of her own; but it’s seemingly impossible. I know I can’t tell her what to do nor offer advice when she’s not seeking it, but things are getting strained between us even though we had previously been doing well at developing an adult relationship. She’s very protective of our parents and feels that life without a close relationship with them isn’t life at all. This is something that was beaten into us from the time we were little. Could you please offer some advice or suggestions on how to handle the situation without my stepping on my sister’s toes or losing my relationship with her? Dr. ZZ: It is possible that you and your sister, having grown up in the same house, and having experienced exactly the same events and the same parents, may have dissimilar memories and interpretations of your childhoods and may have come to completely different conclusions. Though you found your Promised Land by seeking therapy and putting a healthy distance between you and the family, it is possible that she is in her Promised Land by forgiving your parents for the past and trying to build a good relationship with them in the present. It could also be deep denial, but you never know; you can’t know. The way it is now, you and your parents need your sister for the same reason: to side with you so that you can win the family feud. Even if you are 100% right about everything, and they are 100% wrong, this is unhealthy and unproductive because it keeps you engaged in conflict with them and makes your sister the battleground. You can, however, choose not to put your sister in the middle. If your dad tries to put her in the middle, and even if she puts herself in the middle, you can choose not to put her there. Change the subject – a lot. Every time she brings up your parents, say, “I’m sorry, I really can’t talk about them anymore. How are you?” Find topics to talk about (other than your parents) that bring the two of you together. Learn to seek her company for her own sake because you like her for herself. That is the best way you can help each other and take care of yourselves in the process -- with the extra additional upside of driving your parents crazy because they will no longer be able to divide and conquer.

Dr. ZZ has a Ph.D. in Counseling and a doctorate in Natural Healing. Drawing on a background of over thirty years as a professional therapist, she offers self-help in the areas health, relationship and personal growth. All queries

Restaurant Review

By Gerry Williams E-mail: gerry@balieats.com

The best Rijsttafel! Warung Enak does Bali’s best Rijsttafel. It is probably the most abused dish on offer in Balinese restaurants, whether it is ordered at a restaurant or a five star hotel. At Warung Enak the Rijsttafel comes in three stages, roughly entrees, mains and desserts, 18 dishes in all. Each one is carefully explained by the waitress. All for $18++! I find it hard to believe that many places still serve all of the dishes at once, forcing them to be eaten at temperatures from warm to totally cold, it may look impressive but it is at the expense of taste. At Enak you begin with the best Asinan Jakarta I have ever had, a dish from Batavia of Yam Bean, Carrot, Cucumber, Bean Sprout and Tofu tossed with Chili Rice Vinaigrette and served in a fried egg noodle nest to give it a bit of a crunch! When entertaining guests from Jakarta I always order this dish [sometimes detecting a ‘not impressed’ reaction to my selection], after tasting the usual reply is …‘why can’t we get it like this in Jakarta!’ Then follows another favourite of mine; Empek-Empek Palembang from South Sumatra, they are deep fried fish dumplings filled with egg, served on sour palm sugar sauce blended with dried shrimps [pictured]. A small bowl of sambal and the smallest spoon you have ever seen accompanies this dish so you can add the heat, as desired! The classic Balinese Tum Ayam follows then Lumpia Semarang, Central Java style with crisp rice paper wrapping and an accompanying fermented soy bean sauce. The beef soup is from Batavia, Soto Betawi. The mains come from all over Indonesia. From Kalimantan is Ayam Madu, pan-fried chicken [tender and moist, NOT dry] the flesh having been marinated with coriander, cumin, honey and palm sugar. Sate Kambing from Central Java using imported lamb. Pangek Sapi is a spicy beef stew from Sumatra, Sambal Goreng Udang prawns in a spiced coconut broth with snow peas, baby potato and quail egg. Woku Blanga Cakal Putri is poached Trevally Manado style with a herb broth of lemongrass, ginger, chilli, pandan and Kaffir lime leaf. Semur Tahu is stewed bean curd in a soy broth, Sayur Urab is Balinese vegetables tossed with grated coconut. Plecing Kangkung is spicy water spinach, popular all over Indonesia but famous from Lombok. Desserts include Dadar Guling, banana crepes filled with coconut jam and pandan sauce, Bolu Tape which are baked fermented cassava cakes with sultanas and Bubut Injun, black sticky rice pudding with jack fruit and coconut cream. Kue Lumpur is from Kalimantan, a pancake of sultanas and young coconut with vanilla and chocolate sauce. Fresh fruit and local ice creams [choose from tamarind, coconut cream or red bean] complete the feast. Needless to say all the dishes served in the Rijsttafel are also available from the a la carte menu. I make my own ‘mini rijsttafel’ of favourite dishes whenever I visit there with friends, but always including a simple dish from the vegetarian section of the menu, Pergedel Jagung, corn fritters that are always firm but still moist, great alone but even better with a spread of that fiery little sauce from Lombok, Sambal Ulek. I often order the simplest dishes on any menu as that is a good way to judge the kitchen, lower level dishes are often prepared by the least experienced. From the Warung Enak kitchen the quality control is ample testimony to the kitchen management of Chef Rai. I have experienced many awful versions of this dish elsewhere in Bali at 5 star hotels and trendy restaurants alike!

The same quality applies to Warung Enak’s Indonesian Cooking Classes which too often at other venues [even famous ones] are just a stage show for an ego-driven owner/chef doing a floor show rather than actually ‘teaching’ the participants. At Warung Enak the class begins early morning in the markets of Ubud, where the chef explains the use of all the local vegetables, fruits and spices on array, selecting those she wants for the subsequent cooking class. The members of the class do the actual chopping and cooking, under the chef’s supervision, then on the completion sit down together and eat the dishes produced. Participants go home with recipes [and a certificate] and the knowledge of how to prepare these Indonesian dishes. Many well-known chefs of Asia and even International Michelin Guide starred chefs from Europe have attended these classes at Warung Enak, always commenting on the professionalism of same.

prawns, prepared Bali style, having been tossed in a tomato sambal with sweet basil added. The great value Vegetarian menu has some of the previously mentioned dishes are combined in a Vegetarian Nasi Campur, five small serves around steamed rice. There is even a Vegetarian Laksa [not something that fits my tastes] from Sumatra [bean cake and bean curd with vermicelli]. Asian sweets I usually avoid but the Kue Lumpur from Kalimantan is interesting. A pancake of sultanas and young coconut is served with a sauce of vanilla and chocolate. Aga-Agar Karang is an unusual Balinese seaweed jelly. A better than average wine list, even by International standards, is another bonus at this high quality, great value, Indonesian eatery! Warung Enak is a great addition to the Bali dining scene.

One of my most surprising discoveries about Bali, many years ago, was its almost total lack of quality Indonesian restaurants. Small warungs by the thousand, each selling the specialties of their area and restaurants serving an Indonesian version of Chinese food abounded, along with whatever local owners thought western cuisine was supposed to look and taste like. But no high quality good value Indonesian, served in clean premises that a tourist would visit, the food having been prepared in a modern hygienic kitchen! I have now stopped looking! Warung Enak has arrived and survived [not an easy task in the Bali restaurant rat race]. It is housed in a most imposing building, one that could only have evolved from a Made Wijaya dream. Wantilans and courtyards of Bali are combined with the pastel colours and mild erotica found adorning many Hindu temples outside of Indonesia. The naughty monkeys are never offensive, but always produce a smile from the first time guest. Enak is in Pengosekan, south of Ubud, overlooking verdant rice paddies that are slowly being turned into hotel extensions. As Enak also has an attractive bar it is only fitting that the bar snacks are also tantalizing, or they can also make great entrees. The Panada [from Manado] is deep fried rillettes of tuna that have been wrapped in egg dough, on the side a tangy green papaya salad. Semar Mendem [Solo] is steamed sticky rice that has been filled with dried beef and wrapped in an egg crepe, very special. Although there are no entrees and mains at Enak, just small and large plates from which you can choose your spread of the day. Enjoy them progressively or all together.

Amongst the small plates the Asinan Jakarta stands out! I am certainly no vegetarian but I cannot visit Enak without ordering this dish! The Otak-Otak is from Kalimantan. From Bali comes that old favourite, Sate Lilit, grilled minced fish that has been blended with lemongrass, galangal, shallot, chilli, palm sugar, Kaffir lime and coconut milk. Accompanying is a real Balinese seaweed salad, guaranteed to warm you on a cold day! There are noodle and rice dishes, perfect for those mid afternoon snack attacks and lone diners! The Sates are also anytime food, for snacking or with the meal. The Balinese Sate Languan is juicy chunks of fish with spices that bite! It is in two sets of three, with different styles and spices. Traditional Sate Kambing is Central Javanese style with side dips of peanut and soy sauces for you to mix or use separately. Overall, the large plates confound you with a myriad of choices, particularly if spice is your way of life! Sumatran Pangek Sapi is a beef dish cooked with sweet basil. It sits on a serve of rice, crunchy wing beans on the side. Ayam Panggang Bumbu Rujak is an East Javan chicken dish, the half spring chicken having been marinated before grilling. The resultant flesh is so soft and tasty. Udang Goreng Sambal Kemangi is deep-fried

Update Warung Kayu Api, on The ByPass at Sanur, is famous for its traditional Balinese cuisine. My favourite lunch time snack is their ‘Bali Wrapped Up’, a strange name for a great eat; tender babi guling flesh combined with chilli jam and Balinese sambal in a soft flour tortilla wrap, very good! But many people do not know that Warung Kayu Api also sells Pizzas, square Pizzas! Pizzas in a box, slightly different from the usual round ones and big enough to share which makes their reasonable price even more so. The basic Italian combos are there, Margherita [sprinkled with oregano], Quattro Stagioni [4 sections with ham, anchovy, mushrooms, salami and olives] and Pescatore [salmon, squid, clams and prawns] but I like their Santa Lucia [pictured] of beef salami, mushrooms and capsicum along with the essential tomato and mozzarella. They also offer a Supreme [with shredded chicken in a cream sauce] and the international Meat Lovers with minced beef, green chilli and mushroom. It is good fun sitting overlooking the Sanur golf course watching the miss-hits and ensuing tantrums!

Temple Café makes just about the perfect pit stop in Candi Dasa. It doesn’t matter whether it is for an early morning hearty breakfast [open from 7.30 a.m.], lunch, dinner or just a flying visit to pick up and run [a Spicy Chicken and Salad Wrap, rolled in soft pita, just perfect]. Other different menu items include a Curried Shepherd’s Pie or a Germanstyle Cabbage Rolls, quite a contrast! The first thing that you notice about Temple Café is how spick and span it is. A natural friendliness exists from the first smile from owner Shirley [no not the real Shirley Temple], and nothing will change your mind afterwards. A decided Australian presence is suggested by the Beef Rissoles in onion gravy, and further reinforced by an unusual item: Vegemite on Toast! Interesting food at real budget prices, the restaurant is a perfect advertisement for the bungalows that spread between it and the seaside. The same rules apply! Value all the way. Meat Me is the latest crazy name for a restaurant in Bali. It is found on Jln Pengosetan,

just south of Ubud, with rice paddy views and large parking area. It is on the site of a previously failed Japanese restaurant. It is an attractive design using split levels [3] from the car park down to the edge of the rice paddies. Upstairs at front is their open kitchen with three large grill areas, windowed to the car park. It is under Spanish management but surprisingly there is no such cuisine on the menu [apart from Potato Bravas on the side dish menu], instead a very international one featuring a large BBQ grill section. Entrees include Vermicelli Noodles tossed with seafood, cilantro and oregano. Soup can be Cream of Asparagus and Leek combined with a chicken broth or King Prawn and Lime with root ginger and green chilli. An unusal salad for Bali is the Warm Chicken Livers with roasted peppers, bacon and red wine vinegar. I have always been surprised by the lack of chicken livers on Bali menus considering the number of chickens consumed. Across the Middle East they are on every menu. Fish can be Tasmanian Salmon, Marinated Tuna or MahiMahi. The grill list is enormous, steaks, ribs, lamb, chicken, duck, seafood and a Mediterranean touch with Chorizo and Merguez. There are also a few BBQ Combo plates offered including one of duck, pork ribs, chicken and a beef brochette. Friendly staff give a pleasant but not ‘over the top’ welcome, an interesting place to explore.

Rush Bamboo is far from the madding crowd, hidden within The Elysian villa complex, Jln Sari Dewi, Seminyak [in behind The Oberoi], perfectly situated beside the swimming pool and a great place for a reclusive luncheon. It makes you feel as if you are holidays even if only taking a quick lunch break from work! They have now introduced some daily dinner specials the highlight of which is their Monday 5 course Lobster banquet, preceded by a one hour complimentary cocktail hour. Wednesdays is their BBQ Buffet of meats and seafood whilst on Fridays they present their Indonesian Rijsttafel. Delta Bistro is new inside and at the front of the Ubud [Andong] supermarket of that name. A small café/warung, very neat and clean offering simple basic snacks and light meals well prepared and at very much warung prices even though the bistro is a sideline for two of Ubud’s leading lady chefs. Their experience and attention to detail is evident in the resultant meals, even at these prices! A Salad of Feta and Melon, Spaghetti Bolognese, Pork Ribs or Chicken with rosemary. Fancy a pizza on the run during your shopping trips [or whilst sitting down to relax after the excursion]? They have pizzas with bacon and onion, chicken and mushroom, vegetarian or that Aussie special Hawaiian with pineapple. All dishes are at local warung prices, great value. Mila’s Warung is in the back streets of Sanur, Jln. Batu Sari, and is a family operation offering Javanese traditional dishes concentrating on Vegetarian, Vegan and Raw Food. Though there are many chicken and fish dishes as well. Popular veg dishes include Tumis Acar (Cucumber and carrots fried with korokele and hazelnut), Gudeg Jogja (young jack fruit stewed in coconut milk), Sup Lodeh (pumpkin and long beans in a coconut milk base with galangal and kencur) and Terong Balado (eggplant mixed with sambal). Chicken in coconut, Steamed Fish and Beef black beans are just some of the non-veg dishes. It is very Javanese and definitely home cooking style.

Warung Suika is one of the first Japanese restaurants to appear up on The Bukit at Ungasan. They have fresh sushi and all the standard meat, seafood and vegetarian Japanese offerings but all at budget prices. One of the best selling points for this little warung is the number of young Japanese seen dining here.

Kopitiam Tjia on Jln Hanoman, Padang Tegal has added Ramen Noodles to their name and menu. They are served with Miso Soup or Miso Chasiu [with pork confit], Tom Yum [prawns and mushrooms], Shoyu [soy] and Kakuni [with pork belly]. They also offer Udon Noodles with curried chicken or beef and the Vietnamese Pho Bo [beef and noodles]. Standard Japanese dishes include Hamburger Curry Rice [minced beef patties in a curry sauce]. Katsu curries can be with chicken or fish and the now international popular Japanese dumpling snack [stolen from the Chinese] of Gyoza, stuffed with pork and vegetables.

Diary by Mr. Robet

47 Ronin*# After a noble Japanese family is humiliated by the local War Lord, the family vows to extract revenge. The family must call on the help of a half-breed, who, in childhood, was found abandoned and then raised by the family. This man assists them to achieve their goals. In this terrific Japanese movie, directed by Carl Rinsch, the family’s 47 Ronin, or, Samurai, must do battle with all sorts of mythical beasts, monsters, and shape-shifting witches. The movie is a fabulous spectacle to watch. It is packed with exceptional costumes and sets, along with extraordinary special effects. In particular, the 3D effects in the movie are used discretely, to highlight particular moments of the narrative, and, are not plastered throughout the entire film. This gives these moments of cinema ‘magic’ much more visual impact. As the half-breed, Keanu Reeves makes an impressive comeback to the action genre.

300, Rise of an Empire More of the same in Noam Murro’s extravagant sequel to the successful ‘300’ movie. This time the Persian army is again invading Greece, and, Athens has to rely on Sparta to come to their aid. This new movie is treated with the same computer effects which made the original movie, and this sequel, so interesting to look at. There are also heaps of extremely muscular men filling up the screen, which gives the movie an odd homoerotic subtext.

The Bag Man* A shady man, who will do anything for a buck, is hired by a Mafia Boss to do an unusual job. The man must collect a bag, then, take it to an out of the way motel and await the arrival of the Mafia Boss. Most importantly, he must promise not to look into the bag. If he does so, dire consequences will follow. Anyway, when the man arrives at the motel, there seems to be quite a few other people also checked in, and, they are also very interested in the contents of the bag. Written and directed by David Grovic, this is a pretty gripping thriller, in which the tension and the suspense are relentless. John Cusack gives a good performance as the man determined to fulfill his task.

Son of God After a brief portrayal of his birth, this movie concentrates on Jesus’ arrival on a donkey in Jerusalem, and, all of the events leading up to his crucifixion.

Labor Day Eminent American director Jason Reitman makes a peculiar love story. During the American Labor Day weekend holiday, a convicted murderer escapes from a hospital. But, instead of fleeing the area, he chooses to hide out in a house close to the place from which he escaped. Instead of being terrified, the occupants of the house, a divorced woman and her young son, are both, for various reasons, attracted to the man. They are quite happy to give him shelter. Over the long weekend a love affair between the three parties develops. Jason Reitman takes his movie at a leisurely pace, to build-up characterization. Josh Brolin responds well to this kind of direction, and, gives a convincing performance as the murderer. However, Kate Winslet, as the divorcee, presents a highly neurotic woman, and, plays the character at a highly pitched level of ‘bewilderment’. This becomes tiresome after a while.

Endless Love What starts out as a rather run-of-the-mill teenage love story, turns into quite an interesting look at obsessive parental control. In Shana Feste’s well made movie, a nice upper middle class girl falls in love with a sexy boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Her father goes to great lengths to keep them apart.

Lords of London An English mobster doesn’t realize he is dead, and, living in purgatory in Italy, where he is continuously forced to relive and rectify his past actions. Cheap Thrills A writer in need of money falls into the clutches of an extremely rich man.

47 Ronin*# After a Japanese family is humiliated, the family vows to extract revenge. One Chance A shy shop assistant wins the television competition ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. Inside Llewyn Davis* Folk songs and singers are to revive America after the Eisenhower Period. The Bag Man* A shady man, who will do anything for a buck, is hired to do an unusual job.

The Invisible Woman This movie is full of lots of information about English writer Charles Dickens, which will come as quite a surprise. For instance, when not writing, I never knew that Charles Dickens had a theatrical company, of which he was the manager and leading actor. Nor, and this is the gist of the whole movie, that, as a respectable married man, he had a young delectable actress as his mistress. The movie follows the blossoming of their affair, and, the eventual position the actress took as his muse and influential critic of his work. As director and star, Ralph Fiennes succeeds very well in both areas to present a visually beautiful and captivating movie. However, you do have to wonder what the whole point of it is, unless, the movie can be seen as a comment on the hypocrisy of middle class English Victorian manners.

The Wolf Of Wall Street*

The Legend of Hercules Renny Harlin has built-up a career making fast paced action movies, so, the choice of him as director of this ‘swords and sandals’ saga is a bit weird. Okay, you know the drill, Hercules, mortal son of Zeus, has to go through many trials and tribulations until he can claim his demi-god status. Renny Harlin brings his particular style to the movie, and, makes an Ancient Greek Epic that has lots of panache. Kellan Lutz makes a hunky Hercules. I would not buy this movie until it is available in 3D, when it will be much more fun.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! And so, it’s that time of year to ramp up on our beauty regime, let’s see what new products are instore at GLO Day Spa A gift voucher would be a nice idea as an Easter treat? there are plenty of options so read on……..

GLO DAY SPA First off, let’s talk about Weddings - where thoughts turn to a gorgeous villa, a beautiful bride who looks sensational decked out in bridal gown, tiara for hair & false eyelashes! GLO Salon receives lots of wedding bookings, consequently there is plenty of work for their in-house beauty department headed by Sarah who specialises in Bridal Hair and by the beautiful newcomer Emerald! Not only a professional Make Up Artist, but a well known brow and eyelash stylist! In the world of make up it’s the eyebrow that is making news and if you haven’t experienced a professional brow work over then it’s time! Emerald was fanatical about brows since the age of 12 and says “I knew the moment I had my eyebrows done, this was what I was going to do for a living when I grew up”! Emerald hails from the west coast of the US and it was here, LA in particular, where her talents were sought after (she is well known for her work with eyelash extensions that stay on for weeks too) working with exclusive cosmetic lines to name some; MAC, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives she also worked with the famed, Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach as a make-up artist for their performances of Live Art. With the ongoing, steady demand for brow shaping & tinting, Emerald has been able to transform anyone’s brows into a more enhanced version of what nature intended. Obsessed with eyebrows, Emerald says “they are the one feature that can transform a woman’s face. A good, classic brow shape can make a woman instantly look 1 years younger and feel more con¿dent, it’s all about the technique, the symmetry…knowing what suits the client is essential, studying their eye shape and even their mannerisms, working together to get it right” Having recently relocated to Bali, Emerald has brought her skills, a zest for new challenges & of course her brow kit to Glo Day Spa in Seminyak & Sanur. Once you see the ¿nal result you will be back for your brow µ¿x’ on a regular basis! Emerald, Sarah, Dania & Rini are the dedicated team from GLO Day Spa that will work their magic for Weddings at their salons in Seminyak and Sanur or at the Villa or Hotel where the Wedding will take place. For a bride, her attendants plus Mothers it’s reassuring to know they will look a million dollars with a soft natural hairstyle or totally glam if you wish & make up from the premier mineral cosmetic line from the USA, Youngblood Mineral Make Up. For manicures & pedicures on offer at GLO choose one of the swish new nail colors from Chanel or Dior, or, there’s the current collection of O.P.I. Butter London & the 2 week gel premium collection by Shellac. The Essie collection has grown with another 30 polishes, along with newcomer Vinylux by Creative Nail Design USA. (this is the nail polish for those who can’t keep polish on & will last a full week without chipping, I can de¿nitely vouch for this!) Get with it ladies, for nails try the Vinylux in Romantic, a great creamy shade for brides too! Ah for the body! if you have time to spare try the Universal Contour Wrap, not only a slimming treatment but more importantly a detox treatment. The Universal Wrap is unique, a treatment that will ¿rm and tighten the skin even with 1 treatment (better to have 6, then you will be reaching for a smaller dress size?!) The actual procedure is wrapping the body with 5 cm width bandages (soaked in a patented warm clay mixture of sea minerals) all the way from feet to neck/ face. After a period of time, the unwrapping takes place & viola, you feel a sensation of lightness & tightness that you will want to do it all again! Plus, a guaranteed overfall reduction of 6”. Both GLO Day Spa & Salons offer a range of facials, body massage, waxing and spray tanning. Skin products vary for each salon - Decleor and Biokos for Seminyak & Pevonia, Elemis and Biokos products for Sanur.

Marine products which are giving top results, products to exfoliate (be sure to get the Lime & Ginger body crystals) And a number of other real winners like the Pro Collagen Quartz Lift Serum & Quartz Mask, quality eye serums & for working on resurfacing the skin try the Tri-Enzyme Facial Wash. Plus a load more products for body, cellulite & detox, pre & post pregnancy & products for your man! I was impressed with the Elemis range, next time you need to renew a skin product, book a facial & you can get a µfeel’ for the product & then buy. Remember, our skin always responds to change!

Now, this new award winning Elemis Botanical Skin Care & Spa brand from the UK is a marine based product line that has been created in a unique way combining natural active ingredients with scienti¿c technology. Trust GLO to get hold of yet another top product line to offer us all! There are products for Anti-Ageing (no matter what one’s age) the Pro Collagen

16 April - 30 April, 2014

STARS WITH VIBHUTI HOROSCOPE APRIL 16 - APRIL 30, 2014

This is the fortnight we’ve been talking about for these last weeks and possibly months. The Cardinal Grand Cross consisting of Jupiter in Cancer in opposition to Pluto and Uranus in Aries opposite Mars in Libra creating intersecting squares is now upon us and peaks around the 23rd. Remember too, that we’ve just come through a Lunar Eclipse and head towards our New Moon solar eclipse on the 29th. Whatever began for you this month and back there in 2012 is coming to a crescendo and things are going to take shape in the outer World although much of the transformation with these trans-personal planets happens on the inside, within your own mind, through thoughts and feelings. Many of our shadows, both collectively and personally are being exposed and there is a realness shining through or at least wanting to. Those institutions that we’ve trusted and placed our hopes in are letting us down and may even be on the verge of collapse. Again I will say that much of this revolution is taking place within the confines of your own being. This is an awakening of the masses to the truth of their human experience and for most part this has been an unsatisfying one and so are questioning why this is so and what can be done about it. The need to bring back basic family/community values is playing out through this massive alignment of Jupiter in Cancer. There is a sense of optimism with these changes that are in place and those yet to come. NEW MOON 08 Taurus 52 April 29, 2014 2:16 p.m. (Solar Eclipse)

ARIES This Cross plays out in your first house of self interest, house of partnership, career and home sectors. There’s no doubt that you will continue to be your radical, spontaneous and independent self during this fortnight with the challenge still coming from partnerships. A lot of optimism is shining through any family interactions that you may have at this time and your career focus is really putting you through your paces. If ever there was a time for trying new things this is it and a time to be more balanced within your relationships. With a Solar Eclipse in your second house of material and personal values, expect some gains here.

LIBRA Mars in Libra retrograding through the first house of self-interest is particularly highlighted during the cross and sits across from Uranus in your house of relationships. This ongoing self verses other rebalances itself again and again and the tension in the home or with family builds as the cross exacts. The fortunate arm sits in your career sector and you may be getting your emotional needs met through your projects and material investments or it could give you the arena to nurture others at this critical time. With an eighth house New Moon Eclipse the next months will see you releasing a great many things, including relationships.

TAURUS Spiritual matters are revealing insights to you with a further advancement in your work and service sector if you are willing to meet the necessary compromises. A lot of hope comes through communication with family members while the big transformation is coming through your foreign interests and higher learning. This New Moon Solar Eclipse is in your sign and so activates that first house of self-interest. With all the changes and challenges taking place you are actually ready to make a claim for your own position with regard to your relationship and work situation. You will benefit from speaking your truth.

SCORPIO Jupiter in your ninth house of travel and legal matters brings some good fortune, while Pluto, your ruler, sits in your third house of short distance travel, siblings and learning. Uranus is in your health and work sector and sits opposite Mars in Libra in the house of institutions. Some of you will be facing family issues that include health and monetary matters. The New Moon is in your polar opposite sign and in the relationship house. You could be hoping to bring some commitment to your personal relationship and to create a solid foundation from which to work from. As you hold to your plans, benefits ensue.

GEMINI For Gemini’s the focus begins with your emotional values and how they are inspiring you to transform, to let go and to surrender that which no longer fits or belongs to the real you. Meanwhile Mars in your fifth house of romance and children is demanding fairness and balance and is spearheaded by Uranus in Aries in the area of the chart that relates to friends, community and groups. You may be letting go of some old relationships and perhaps changing schools for your children. The Solar Eclipse energy is in your house of deep self-inquiry and spiritual concerns. You may look for your answers on the inside rather than the outside through this next month.

SAGITTARIUS Pluto in your second house of material acquisitions sits across from Jupiter in the house of endings. You are being prompted to release on the outside and from beyond your control, as well as self-motivated transformation. Uranus is in your house of romance and an unexpected one may show up now. Mars in Libra the other wing of the cross is in your house of friends, groups and community and offers the opportunity to bring healing to situations here. There is still the potential of radical departures and endings in all of these areas and with the New Moon in your work and service area, perhaps a new job.

CANCER With the Cross accelerating action in your angular houses, that is the first house of self-interest and the seventh of relationships, fourth of home and family and the tenth of career focus, you run the risk of being overwhelmed. Relationship stress may be affecting your home life and it’s important to find some equilibrium there this month. Radical new ideas and inspiration are meanwhile prompting you to reach out in your work and the ideas that you have for your future. The New Moon is in your house of friends and community and a powerful new beginning is possible here. This Taurus Moon is ruled by Venus in Pisces who is allowing a gentle restructuring.

CAPRICORN With Pluto in your first house opposite Jupiter in the relationship house and creating a square to Uranus in your home and Mars in the career sector you are another with the angular houses activated and this means action and lots of it. This New Moon Eclipse is in your house of romance and brings the potential of love over the coming months. Those already in relationship may have stronger dealings with their children or a new addition to the family. You continue to expand your life on many levels and develop a stronger public persona. The ongoing balancing occurs between all areas of your life and in particular your home and career.

LEO Uranus could bring some unexpected travel plans or higher revelations as you’re challenged by the Mars in Libra to expand and balance your thinking through the understanding of your deeper emotional self. All of this brings transformation and resurrection to your work orientation. The New Moon falls in your career sector and the next few months will focus on the future you see for yourself in relation to what you love to do and even with regard to your love relationships themselves. Jupiter is bringing an effortless connection to your Divine Self and this promotes an ease of emotional flow. Growth comes slowly.

AQUARIUS Uranus in the third house of communication is being triggered now by that Mars in the ninth house, taking your learning to an even higher level. You have a greater potential for healing any health issues with your willingness to let go of any rigid thinking and ideas you may have held through your past programming. With the Solar Eclipse in your fourth house of home, family and roots you could be ready now to build yourself a new foundation, one that is built through your own visioning and a higher understanding of yourself. So much has been revealed to you through learning, over these last two years.

VIRGO Mars in Libra is in your second house of material acquisition and personal values. It is being prodded in an explosive way by Uranus in Aries in the eighth and is pushing you to revolutionize your life. You may spontaneously let go of things, give them away and you may also make some sudden purchases or take on a completely new perspective. Pluto is in your house of romance and promises some intense interactions, while Jupiter plays out in your house of community, groups and friends. If you are the type to lend a shoulder, this could be your role this month. This New Moon in Taurus is in your house of travel, legal issues and higher learning.

PISCES Uranus is inspiring you to change the way you’ve viewed the world and probably doing a good job of it. Meanwhile Mars in the house of endings, possibly through death is creating a need for communication with others. Jupiter is bringing a sentimental connection to any children in your life and possibly a sweet new romance and meanwhile Pluto in the house of friends, groups and community brings endings in these areas. Perhaps it is through the letting go of old ideals that you will find your place and your community through new friendships and the potential of new love relationships and connections.

About the Cruise

No Ordinary Journey: a tour of the breathtaking Komodo Islands with Amitav Ghosh and Deborah Baker “… an instance when Fate had conspired with Nature to give them a sign that theirs was no ordinary journey.” ʊ Amitav Ghosh, River of Smoke Ubud Writers & Readers Festival is thrilled to announce a unique partnership with SeaTrek Bali, resulting in an u n m i s s a b l e opportunity to sail through the extraordinary Komodo Islands in the company of authors Amitav Ghosh and Deborah Baker. This cruise is scheduled to take place from October 7-12, directly after the 2014 Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (October 1-5), at which Amitav Ghosh and Deborah Baker will also appear. It is set to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for 10 lucky souls – combining the adventure of the high seas, with intimate readings and talks from two of the world’s leading writers and biographers. Ghosh has long had an obsession with the ocean – his two bestselling novels Sea of Poppies and River of Smoke being set in the Indian Amitav Ghosh Ocean region. His wife Deborah Baker is a Pulitzer Prize ¿nalist and her latest novel The Convert was also nominated for the National Book Award in 2011.

Few areas in Asia can match the cultural and natural diversity found charting the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Towering active volcanoes and jungle-clad mountain ranges are set against dry Deborah Baker savannah lowlands, everything in sight teeming with wildlife. One day alone can promise it all: quiet coastal villages, emerald seas, megalithic cultures, colourful market places, tribal rituals and a world of kaleidoscopic beauty underwater.

Delectable meals will come with a little bit of extra nourishment for the mind as well. The cruise also includes a ranger-led trek through the park in search for an encounter with the prehistoric Komodo Dragon.

Sawah Bali

Bali Advertiser

16 April - 30 April, 2014

Where do you get your funding? We have been fortunate as we are in the midst of securing some funding through government channels and private corporate support. We want to demonstrate early success in this introduction of land conservation in Bali. For the Pilot Project over $400,000 goes directly into the farmer’s pockets. As subak after subak learn about these efforts to protect and enhance their lives, the farmers themselves will be the best advocates. It will be the responsibility of the multiple levels of government, corporations that derive their income from tourism to create new revenue streams. Grants and individual support will be sought. For individual contributions, we have just launched our crowdfunding site at www.sawahbali.natcapnetwork.com. What do you consider Bali’s most critical long-term environmental problem? Water scarcity. Who has it and who will be the recipient of it. This is the issue that will soon replace 175 years of energy mania throughout the globe. For Bali, with such a small landmass, a population of over 4 million and over 8 million tourists visiting annually, there just isn’t enough water. The quotidian usage required by the tourists and expats is what is driving the water shortages. Other important factors are that the water is filled with toxins due to the chemically dependent strain of rice grown, saltwater intrusion mixing with low water tables and climate change exacerbating all problems affiliated with water.

Which issue is so urgent that it has to be addressed immediately?

Phyllis Kaplan was born and brought up in a coastal town on Long Island, a suburb of New York City. As a young girl she and her friends hiked the woods and dunes bordering Long Island Sound. During the heady ‘60s Phyllis made weekly visits to New York City for art classes, museums, theatre, opera, classical and jazz concerts. During the height of the country’s environmental activism, she participated in the first Earth Day in 1970. Phyllis received BA from Bennington College, a small liberal arts school in the mountains of Vermont, where she majored in painting from 1977 to 1991. She ran Ziba Designs, a design and manufacturing business for 15 years and then a garden design business for more than ten years. Since moving to Bali in 2009, Phyllis has become increasingly involved in environmental issues and initiated the land conservation organization Sawah Bali in 2012.

One must approach everything holistically as it is all interconnected. That is what is especially significant about Bali. Out of control building development in the wrong locations is a huge problem. If development continues to destroy sawah, the ancient subak is destroyed, taking with it a deep and complex identity while creating a host of issues that cannot be undone. This issue of land conservation is the Tipping Point because it does impact all that is Bali. The development for tourists and their “standards” is out of balance, unwarranted and unethical. It will all collide into a vortex that will destroy all that the Balinese have been able to withstand after 350 years of colonialism, occupation and globalization. And in a world that has been neutered by corporate “branding,” bifurcated by the have and have nots, earth made sick by the actions of its human inhabitants, and inauthenticity promoted by the constant preferred “communication” through technology, Bali whereas not a perfect society, has maintained an identity far stronger than any place I have been with the exception of Bhutan.

Was there a eureka moment that inspired you to start Sawah Bali?

What are the most important sustainability practices that Bali’s expats can initiate in their personal lives?

Absolutely. In the summer of 2012, as I was recuperating in Vermont from dengue fever (bitten in Sri Lanka), I was reading Ibu Kat’s articles in the Bali Advertiser about water shortages, artist activism (the “Not For Sale” movement) and the designation of five UNESCO’s World Heritage subak sites. I knew Bali needed a Land Trust the second day I landed here and was walking the ricefields. “NOW is the time” is what went through my head. I also knew the timing was not right as everyone was buying, selling and building - investors, Balinese, expats, money launderers - in a real frenzy of greed (oops, I mean supply and demand).

Firstly, DO NOT BUILD, LEASE, BUY or LIVE IN THE SAWAH. If you must build, build in a village/town or on non-productive land. Secondly, educate yourselves as to your impact as a westerner and guest of this beautiful culture and people. Your Western practices have serious environmental and social effects that are in conflict with the Balinese ethics, culture and credo. The first adage of being a good traveler is to respect the host country’s values and not trample on them. Be conscious and personally responsible for your actions. Do you really just want to replicate a western way of life cheaply?

What are the organization’s goals?

We welcome Indonesians who possess the motivation and skills to volunteer for our nascent organization. As a start-up there is a lot of work to be done which must be done with accuracy but also nimbleness. Obviously anyone who has an agricultural background or good writing skills and is fluent in both English and Bahasa Indonesia or who have an environmental background would be a terrific asset. Right now we are looking for someone to design a system for rating the threats to the “subak” canal system. As we define our strategic plan to conserve the 1500 subak, we need a scientific and rational basis for this. We need someone bi-lingual and detailoriented to assist.

The mission of Sawah Bali is to conserve and sustain the working agricultural landscape of Bali and to restructure agricultural production to secure greater economic equality and wellness for farmers. We want to mitigate such problems as land loss, water scarcity, erosion of identity, poor health, environmental degradation, food insecurity and economic inequality for the people of Bali and farmers in particular. Sawah Bali will do this by implementing land conservation and economic development measures with sustained technical assistance for the nearly 1500 subak in Bali.

16 April - 30 April, 2014

UBUD SMILE AND PASSION One of Ubud’s brightest smiles is attached to stunner yoga teacher Helvi (Estee) Lystiani. This Jakarta-born angel has lived in Bali for seven years, growing her soul and expanding her knowledge of people and her craft. Now she’s available for classes every week, with a special one-day workshop also scheduled for this weekend at the Yoga Barn (9-3.30pm, Sat. April 3). Estee’s own mentors say she is at her ¿ery, passionate best for beginners, because she helps people begin their yoga journey with clarity, relaxed con¿dence and playful curiosity. That full day program is 450,000rp. Then you can continue the journey every Monday with Estee at Banjar Turiya in the Sopa Garden in Nyuh Kuning. She leads Intro to Yoga from 4-5pm (beginners) and Yin Yoga from 5.30-7pm (all levels). International & Local Expats, 50,000rp and Balinese students welcome by donation. EASTER IN UBUD Surrounded as we are by rich Hindu tradition, visitors to Ubud may wonder where we celebrate important Christian holy days such as Easter. The Bukit Shalom (Shalom Hill) church, just east of Ubud on the road to the Maya Resort, normally holds an English language service on Sunday from 9-10am, but will also have a Good Friday service on April 18, and celebrate the resurrection on Easter Sunday, April 20. Ridiculously, here where I write from Adelaide Australia, I’ve been able to buy delicious Hot Cross buns since midFebruary. Much better to save the special treat till Easter. Best in Ubud available from Good Friday at Kue Bakery and Casa Luna Restaurant on Jl Raya Ubud and at Kue 2 on Jl Raya Penestanan. Order in advance so you don’t miss out. Easter family traditions? The traditional Easter egg hunt was my kids’ favorite; I put tiny Easter bunny paw prints all over the house using a cardboard cutout, a sieve and plain Àour – and a vacuum cleaner later! This Easter, Uma Ubud Resort on Jl Raya Sanggingan will hold an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning. Then your family can join other lunch guests for an Italian-inspired set menu (two- or three-course options). Phone Uma Ubud on 0361 972 448. Or join new and old friends at an Easter Long Table Lunch, downstairs at Casa Luna. You can feast on some of Janet de Neefe’s special festive creations and favourite Balinese dishes combining the ¿nest locally grown organic ingredients. The banquet will be served family-style and will include vegetarian and vegan options. reservations@casalunabali. com THE BAR’S A STAGE Prepare to be enthralled, to laugh and to cry when the works of Award-winning Australian playwrights, including Daniel Keene and Hannie Rayson, are performed at the Bar Luna Basement on four Monday nights at 7:30 from June 16 until July 7. Six professional actors, well known from theatre, ¿lm and TV will present readings from a different selection of plays each week. Come for cocktails and stay for a meal. Diana Greentree, coordinator of some very successful play reading sessions at previous Ubud Writers and Readers Festivals, will produce the free events. A SPY IN TOWN Valerie Plame, former United States CIA agent, is in town this week. Grab a last minute seat at the table at Indus Restaurant on Thursday, April 17, as she shares her extraordinary life as one of the world’s most famous spies “in-conversation” with Jakarta Post journalist Trisha Satori. Now that Valerie has swapped espionage for writing about it, she clearly won’t ever lack for spicy material to work with. The ¿lm, Fair Game, starring Naomi Watts, was inspired by her own experience of being used as ‘fair game’ in Bush’s campaign of misinformation, and her new ¿ctional Blowback saga is already a best-seller.

DEER GO NATIVE It’s often a tough job working to protect nature, but Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF) staff say some days make it all worthwhile. The two tiny Barking deer – a protected species in Indonesia - arrived skinny and full of parasites at the Bali Wildlife Rescue Centre in Tabanan 18 months ago, after a rescue from illegal captivity. They were released back into the forest in the West Bali National Park last month. Staff and volunteers who have since visited the national park say that the deer pair - also known as Muntjacs - have already joined the local wild population and are adapting well. The Tabanan centre, funded by the Humane Society International (Australia), is one of only seven such centres in Indonesia and a vital link in the process of rehabilitating native endangered wildlife, mostly victims of illegal trading and poaching (currently 50 endangered primates and birds, including gibbons, macaques and eagles). Barking deer are the oldest known deer species in the world, now found only in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Southern China, Taiwan, Japan and India. More from 0361 977978 or info@ fnpf.org.

MONEY MATTERS by Colin Bloodworth

INVESTING IN A GREENER PLANET In the wake of a UN report warning of the dire consequences of climate change I was pleased to have the opportunity last month to visit a remote part of the world where positive action is being taken to reverse the devastation that is being inflicted on the world’s natural environment. The location was Nicaragua, a small Central American country bordering both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans which are separated by just a five hour drive. Despite its relatively small size and a population of just six million the country is home to the largest rainforest north of the Amazon, the largest lake in the Central American region, 28 volcanoes and 22,000 square kilometres of natural reserves. Whilst I observed a few small palm oil plantations there was no evidence on the ground or from the air of the vast swathes of such plantations that have replaced many of the rainforests in South-East Asia and elsewhere. Instead, the focus of my trip was on bamboo, considered to be the most eco-friendly alternative to conventional timber. The extraordinary qualities of bamboo The environmental benefits bamboo are well-known in Bali.

Bali Advertiser

16 April - 30 April, 2014

Cutting down trees results in areas devoid of biodiversity as well as exposing soil to the elements. In contrast, bamboo is actually a member of the grass family and just a portion can be harvested annually so that a continuous canopy cover can be maintained. Furthermore, whereas a hardwood tree needs 15 to 30 years to become harvestable, bamboo can be harvested within 5 to 7 years of planting. And unlike a hardwood tree a single clump can continue to be harvested every year for decades to come. As for efficiency, one acre of bamboo can provide sufficient wood to build a 1,000 square foot house whilst it would take 12 acres of forest to build the same house. Timber replacement is not the only function of bamboo. The fibre of certain bamboo species has qualities that make it highly suitable in the production of paper that requires a mixture of strength and softness. Part of the bamboo can be processed to produce activated carbon, a product that is used to remove pollutants from both liquids and gases. Bamboo fibre can also be converted into fuel products, representing a carbon neutral and sustainable form of energy. Once processed on site the fuel can be easily exported in the form of pellets. How bamboo addresses environmental issues Bamboo can restore biodiversity to degraded land and as it grows rapidly and can be harvested annually it is the most sustainable form of biomass on the planet. Certain species can tolerate relatively poor soils making bamboo perfect for the restoration and reforestation of degraded land. It aids in water absorption, firmly holds soil in place and protects against soil erosion. It is one of the best plants for carbon extraction and can remove up to 800 tons of CO2 from the air per hectare over a 10 year period. The plantations belonging to EcoPlanet Bamboo, the company I visited, covered over 7,000 acres on three sites, all of them close to networks of rivers to facilitate exporting, principally to the US. The terrain was rough so horseback was the main mode of transport around the plantations. It was a pleasant change from Jakarta traffic jams. While most of the bamboo had been planted over the past two years on degraded land I was shown a vast area of unspoilt rainforest and told this too would shortly be planted with bamboo. But no trees would be cut down;

bamboo can be planted among the trees and can grow in harmony with other species, particularly where the selected type of bamboo has roots which remain within the clump and do not spread and encroach on other plants. The result is a complete opposite of the more familiar and destructive scenario where land is cleared for planting with no consideration for the impact on the environment. The company goes a stage further and sets aside 20% of each plantation for conservation. Neither is the social impact ignored. The plantations allow the creation of attractive and stable jobs in areas of abject poverty. The company provides access to healthcare and education and works closely with the local community. The president of the company does not sit in an ivory tower and ride around in luxury cars. He has a hands-on approach and spends much of his time on the plantations and works closely with the local communities.

So how does this story relate to Money Matters? Very simply, the acquisition of land and the planting of bamboo and construction of facilities require a significant level of investment money. This invariably falls on the private sector. A major investor in the company I visited is Premier Eco Resources, an Isle of Man (British Isles) regulated fund. Even relatively small retail investors can access the fund either directly or via life company platforms. Performance of the fund to date is based on independent valuations of the total asset and has been impressive, even though none of the bamboo from thousands of new plants has yet come to market. As with any alternative fund offering high returns I would exercise caution and say that it is appropriate only for experienced investors. Investing in a foreign country does bring additional risks but in the case of Nicaragua political risk insurance is in place backed by the World Bank whilst property risk insurance covers fire, storm, flood and other risks. Unlike stock market funds that produce volatile returns and lend themselves to frequent trading this eco fund which is not necessarily limited to bamboo should be seen as a long term hold.

C/BT/G-19 March 14

The company also has a plantation in South Africa and is planning to establish one in Kalimantan where it plans to reforest some 100,000 acres of degraded land that has undergone severe land clearance. For those who feel it is important to invest in ‘green’ or ‘ethical’ funds, there are numerous other options, including an environmentally friendly fund which invests in recycling plants that even convert part of the recycled rubbish to electricity. But that’s another story.

Delicious International Dishes (Indonesian Language Version available at www.baliadvertiser.biz) This refreshing sweet sour salad keeps in the fridge for two or three months. It’s so beautiful to look at that it surprises me when I open the fridge door. I top it up with more cucumbers when the tide goes down pulling the ones on the bottom up to the top to let the new slices marinate longer. To get the flavors well melded, let it sit several days, even though it’s tempting to dig in sooner. Serve well chilled on these hot sticky days.

Cucumber Refrigerator Salad Serves 10 or more

Ingredients: - 4 medium sized cucumbers, sliced as thinly as possible, half with skins half without - 1 large red onion, sliced as thinly as possible - 1 red bell pepper, cut in half, seeded and then thinly sliced - 2 green chilies cut in half and seeded - don’t chop - 4 cloves of garlic, quartered - 1 Tbl. salt - 2 cups rice vinegar - 1/2 cup palm sugar - 1 cup of ice cubes

- 2 branches of seladri, washed and the water tamped out (you can use celery instead) - 2 branches of coriander leaf, washed and the water tamped out. Directions: In a large bowl toss together the thinly sliced cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper, green chilies, garlic and salt. Set aside. C/BT/G-22 Jan. 14

In a pot combine the rice vinegar and palm sugar and bring to a boil, cooking until the sugar has melted into the vinegar. Remove from the stove and let cool 5 minutes. Then add a cup of ice cubes and stir until the ice is melted. In a large glass lidded jar (I use a rubber ringed jar and lid combo) spoon in the cucumber combination, sliding the coriander and seladri branches along the sides so it looks attractive. Pour in the cooled vinegar sugar dressing, covering the cucumbers with the liquid. Snap the lid in place and put in the fridge for a minimum of two days, the longer the better. Enjoy!

Local News Bali Strives to Lure More Chinese Tourists As more and more high-spending Chinese tourists travel abroad, Indonesia does not want to miss the opportunity of enjoying the share of the Chinese tourist boom. Over the past several years, the world had experienced a sharp, upward trend in overseas travel among the Chinese people. Around 3.62 billion journeys, or 200 million more than last year, are expected to be made by the Chinese people this year, CNN reported. The Chinese travel and spend more than anyone else on the planet, according to the United Nations as quoted by CNN. They spent $102 billion on 83 million trips in 2012, and they will continue to dominate the market. The Indonesian government has intensified tourism promotion in China and launched a Chinese-language website to boost the number of Chinese arrivals by 37 percent to one million by the end of 2014.

Bali is one of the world’s 10-most favorite tourist destinations for the Chinese people, apart from Australia, Cape Town, Edinburgh, Hawaii, Madrid, Egypt, Niagara Falls, Paris and Switzerland, according to the result of the polling of the Beijing Peoples Broadcasting 2011. “Most Chinese tourists visiting Indonesia choose Bali as their favorite destination for a vacation,” I Gusti Ngurah Putra, secretary to the tourism and the creative economy ministry’s tourism marketing director general, said recently.

Rabies Still Haunts Bali Dogs have recently been found that are positive for rabies in both Tabanan and Karengasem regencies. Head of the Horticulture Dept. in Tabanan, Ni Ketut Warsiki confirmed on Sunday (6/4) that dogs from Sekartaji village had been tested for the disease and were confirmed positive for rabies. The tests were conducted after a stray dog had bitten a villager. The animal in question has since been destroyed. Warsiki cautioned that if people owned a pet dog that they should have the dog vaccinated and keep the animal at home. He warned that in light of recent events

The number of Chinese tourist arrivals in Bali in January 2014 reached 52,060, a sharp increase of 80.52 percent from 28,839 in January 2013. Chinese tourists in Bali were the second-largest in number after Australians last year, the Bali tourism office had announced recently. Last year, a total of 387,533 Chinese tourists visited Bali, up 24.65 percent from 310,904 in 2012. (March 25th 2014)

that mass dog culling would probably take place shortly and all stray dogs would be destroyed. (April 6th 2014) Activists Demand End to Deer Hunting in Tabanan Ketut Karnita, an environmental activist from Tabanan urged the government to stop illegal deer hunting in the foothills of Batukaru in the Tabanan Regency. The deer are easily hunted during the dry season when they venture

down the mountain to find water. Hunters then use nets and guns to catch their prey. Karnita said that deer hunting

Schapelle Corby admitted her guilt and said the fateful 2004 drug run that saw her locked up for ten years was actually her fourth trip to Bali as a courier, according to fellow Australian prisoner Renae Lawrence. Lawrence, one of the Bali Nine heroin couriers, has also alleged in an interview broadcast on the Ten Network that Corby faked mental illness to get a shorter sentence - a tactic that worked. Corby was granted a five-year sentence reduction in 2012 by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono who cited compassionate grounds because of the Australian’s mental illness. This is likely to be the most damaging revelation from the interview. A spokesman for the Indonesian Justice and Human Rights Minister Amir Syamsuddin said of that allegation: “That is her [Corby’s] good luck”. However, if the Indonesian media pick up the line and use it to criticize Dr Yudhoyono for being too cozy with Australia, it may affect Corby’s parole. As it stands, the minister is still considering whether to send her back to Kerobokan prison over sister Mercedes’ interview last month with Channel Seven’s Mike Willesee. But the allegation about previous drug runs would change nothing, said two Indonesian government spokesmen. Corby had been convicted and served the bulk of her sentence and there was no evidence of other trips, they said. In the interview, Lawrence said in the five years she lived in the same cell block as Corby, she “did a good job on keeping secrets but she let one slip one night” to Lawrence and another prisoner. “She said that she knew the marijuana was in the boogie-bag but that the person who was supposed to be at the airport at that time didn’t show up for work or couldn’t be there for some strange reason, I don’t know … And that’s

how she got caught. “She told me and the other prisoner that she done it more than this time. She got away with it before … and she said how she had to keep saying that she wasn’t guilty because if she changed her mind she was scared she would lose all the Australian support.”

was originally practiced for ceremonial purposes however with deer meat selling for as high as Rp 300,000 per kilo poaching of the animals had become rife. He urged the government to enforce anti poaching laws in the region and use captive-bred deer for ceremonial purposes. Karnita has been a deer breeder since 1996 with permission from Natural Resources Conservation Center

Elaborating on the earlier drug trips, Lawrence said: “She said she brought the drugs before, three times. The first time she didn’t know [about the drugs] until she got through the airport, but the other times she knew.”

Visa stamps in Corby’s passport show she made four visits to Bali in the years before her 2004 arrest: in March, August and December 1999, and in July 2000. Corby, who has also repeatedly denied she smoked cannabis, had “used since she was a teenager,” according to Lawrence.

after killing or capturing a deer. He said that if no deer is taken, then the village buys a deer from Karnita’s farm. The BKSDA has said that it would investigate both claims and take appropriate action. (April 2nd 2014) Indonesia Considers 20% Tax on Imported Smart-phones

On the question of Corby’s mental illness, Lawrence said, “She, um, actually, she acted crazy … She said it herself. She played crazy so that she would get more sympathy and more time off from the President of Indonesia. Which actually worked for her … She would put on more of an act when someone important came into the block like the doctor of the jail boss.” When Dr Yudhoyono granted Corby five years off her sentence (reducing it from 20 years to 15) in 2012, he cited her mental illness as the main reason.

The government of Indonesia is considering imposing a luxury goods sales tax on imported high-end smart-phones in a move designed to spur growth in the country’s own handset manufacturing segment, which mainly produces low-to-mid-range devices. A report from the Jakarta Post says that authorities are looking at levying a 20% duty on devices priced above IDR5 million (USD441.56). The idea was first floated last year but was dropped following concerns that the tax could lead to an increase in the number of illegally imported handsets. In the interim, there

HECTOR’S Well, We Hit the Roof We got a lovely invitation from the new RIMBA - we think it still qualifies as “new” since it hasn’t yet been open for a year - to attend a svelte bash on Apr. 12 to launch its Unique Rooftop Bar. Of course we went along. We like an affray and it’s always good to catch up with friends including Marian Carroll, who runs the corporate and PR effort of both RIMBA and AYANA. The Grand Launch featured a live performance by Lee Dewyze. RIMBA’s landscaping and architecture is quite stunning. It was a grand night. Friends who stayed there over Nyepi tell us the guests in residence for silent night Bali style were mainly Indonesian. It’s good to see the emerging middle classes spending rupes in felicitous places.

Nice to be Back Fresh off the plane from Australia, circumstances led us almost immediately to Candi Dasa. This was a benefit, because it took us back to a favourite spot, Pondok Bambu, a beautifully cool sea breeze and fine views to Nusa Penida and Lombok. We dined one night at Vincent’s, also a favourite. The Diary’s tofu dish was divine and the Distaff’s beetroot salad concoction looked marvellous. Vincent’s now has live jazz on the first and third Thursdays of every month. Regrettably, our visit this time coincided with neither of these opportunities. We shall have to return. Degustation also took place at Quarante-Huit, Le 48, the restaurant attached to the Zen resort. It is no longer under French management, having been sold to a gentleman from Surabaya. But the cuisine is still determinedly (and happily) Gallic and the waitresses still remind one, by their attire and attentive presence, of the pretty fillies one once used to bump into in Paris.

Says It All Those innovative signs on Bali’s highways that say “truk gunakan lajur kiri” (“trucks use left lane”) are working as expected. They are universally ignored as yet another traffic rule the police can’t be bothered to enforce. It remains easier, much more fun and certainly more profitable for them to create traffic jams by staging random hold-ups to check licences and vehicle registrations. The drive up to Candi Dasa on the East Coast highway on a Friday afternoon perfectly illustrated the pointlessness of regulatory signage on Balinese highways. It also brought to attention a chap who immediately won Madman of the Week award for the way in which he drove his heavily-laden green truck. The windscreen was basically obliterated by stickers and anyway was of what looked like 100 per cent tinted glass. But it was the custom-painted legend on the truck’s rear bumper bar that told the real story. The first time he stormed past us, weaving through the 80km/h traffic at breakneck speed, we noted the sign with close attention. It read, “I don’t care!”

New Line-Up The Bali Hotels Association’s 2014 board, announced recently, has some interesting names worth placing on record. Ian Cameron (by complete coincidence a neighbour of The Diary at Ungasan) is director of finance. He’s general manager of the Grand Aston Nusa Dua. Another name, hitherto undiscovered, is Laetitia Sugandi, general manager of Harris Riverside Hotel and Residences in Kuta, who got the gig as director of sports and cultural activities. That’s an area of particular interest to The Diary. Chairman for 2014 is Alessandro Migliore, GM at The Royal Beach, Seminyak. Past chairman Jean-Charles Le Coz of the Nikko is vice-chairman.

Give Her a Break Schapelle Corby’s parole rules apparently require her not to wear a motorbike helmet. We surmise this from a report in The Beat Daily that said she had earned a rebuke from parole officers for having done so while making her way to a scheduled meeting with them. It’s sensible to require parolees, who after all are still serving sentences albeit with some authorized freedoms, to remain in plain sight. Unless they’re on a motorbike that is, where to the surprise no doubt of the traffic police and various other minor functionaries, wearing such head protection is required by law. That’s notionally, of course, in the way of most things here. Corby is in a delicate situation. For some reason that entirely escapes logical explanation, she is a person of interest to the Australian media. On any risk analysis, where she is concerned,

Bali Advertiser

the potential presence of an intrusively rude little person pointing a camera has to be factored in. Avoiding such incidents by being invisible in transit, since her visibility has already earned her a rebuke or three from her official minders, would seem to be sensible policy. But bureaucrats everywhere are not well known for a capacity to think laterally.

Hospital Pass Australia’s Channel Seven, late of the Schapelle shemozzle, is running a series of documentaries that take viewers inside the private BIMC and public Sanglah hospitals. The series is called What Really Happens in Bali and also showcases the lives of expats who now call Bali home. Thankfully The Diary was not approached to participate. It would have been very difficult to top the éclat of the guy who apparently claims (breathlessly one might imagine) to have had sex with more than 100 women in 90 days. Evidently he was on a very special social visa. The series is great exposure - and it’s well deserved - for both BIMC and for Sanglah (whose link with Royal Darwin Hospital in Australia is very valuable). If the series lives up to the promise in its title, many more Australians will be better informed about Bali than they are at present.

According to some among the expatriate population, we’re not supposed to refer to the many feet of clay that clog up the works in these parts. This segment of the expat community has adopted the general Balinese response that if you don’t like it here, you should go home. That’s classic sand-pit stuff, best left behind in one’s toddler years, and we certainly take no notice. Our rule is: If there’s a snafu, say so. The reluctant conclusion that there is now no hope of Bali being declared rabies-free until at least 2016 is a case in point. Like all such targets in Bali it’s a dynamic one, not to say fluid, and infinitely expandable on a logarithmic scale. When the current outbreak began in 2008, after many years in which no human cases had been recorded and no animal ones noticed, the place for a time looked like a rather bad Three Stooges movie set. Unfortunately the result of that particular farce is that to date an estimated 147 people have died of rabies. That figure, incidentally, would at best win only qualified audit status. There was a lull in reported rabies cases for while but this year there have already been four suspected cases including two confirmed deaths in Buleleng and a large number of cases in dogs. Under international rules there must be two clear years between the last reported case and declaration that an infected area is now free of the disease.

The authorities blame community reluctance to vaccinate dogs or to cooperate with the government. That’s a cop-out. After six years of hampering the efforts of others while pocketing anti-rabies money, some in the bureaucracy responsible (and their political bosses) should have worked out which way is up. Or at least, found a conscience.

Heart and SOLEMEN Many charitable organizations are active in Bali, a lot of them working right at the coalface of disadvantage and distress. They all deserve our support. One among them is SOLEMEN, famous for its barefoot walks to raise funds. It treats the sick and handicapped children it helps in a holistic way. Robert Epstone, who would modestly describe himself as one among many leading lights in the organization, sent us a copy of the SOLEMEN Newsletter No. 5, covering Jan.-Mar. this year. It’s a great initiative and is heartrending reading. It should be required study for any among us who in the western way are apt to consider themselves discommoded by trivial circumstances. On Mar. 27 there was a charity fundraiser partly in aid of SOLEMEN and organized by Sunset Vet of Kuta to celebrate its first birthday, with funds going to assist SOLEMEN’s efforts to help the poor and disadvantaged in Bali in the way they do best, by focusing on individual cases of immense suffering and providing immediate help. SOLEMEN is completing its first permaculture garden in one poor village in Denpasar to encourage self sufficiency plus raised self esteem within the community. As well as feeding families, the program – planned as the first of many – will supply a surplus to provide an income for them.

TOKO BUKU Reviews of English language books on Indonesia by Bill Dalton

Menagerie 6 The recent soul searching triggered by the extraordinary 2012 movie The Act of Killing – winner of the prestigious BAFTAS 2014 award for best documentary – that records the vivid confessions of executioners during the horrific political upheavals of 19651966 – makes it fitting to review an anthology of pieces written by the victims. This volume of Menagerie, the sixth in the series, comprises 10 short stories and 17 poems by Indonesian exile authors. The collection also includes two short stories by “domestic” exile writers and two biographical stories of former political prisoners. The well-written Menagerie series by Lontar make an exciting and satisfying read because each anthology addresses a given subject from different angles through a variety of genres: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, photos, essays and short stories. Each collection is like a total multi-media package – something for everybody, whatever may strike one’s fancy - about a given subject. A fine line separates fiction and non-fiction in the Menagerie 6 stories which read like memoirs or selected episodes from the lives of the narrators who have experienced intense longing for family, the bitterness of exile and the aching loneliness of strangers in a strange faraway land. The Indonesian exile experience is viscerally felt in these reflective pieces in which the characters attempt to mend their broken lives. These stories fill a gap in the national literature in which exile literature is not a specific recognized genre. There are few publishing outlets, no public forums and only a very narrow and limited readership for this kind of material. These experiences, which possess the ring of hard-lived truth, have now passed into history, now comprising an unofficial record, eyewitness documentation of what actually happened. Many of the stories are permeated with a sense of foreboding and impending danger similar to reading political thrillers. A characteristic of the genre is the trauma and torture the writers personally endured, their telling alternating between anger and nostalgia, loyalty and revenge and resignation and indignation. A great number of the exiles - students, union members, housewives, neighbors, party cadre - belonged to groups or organizations deemed by the military authorities to share the same ideology as the communist party. These are the salt of the earth, the wong cilik (“little people”) of Javanese wayang theatre. The group also included domestic exiles, Indonesian citizens “exiled” in their own country. Even after their eventual release, they were forced to regularly report their whereabouts to the local military, unable to fully participate in community or national life. “Free Fall” is a stark, powerful and lean prison story about a disfigured prisoner assigned to clear latrines, the most vile of all prison duties. “Torn Apart” describes the inhumane treatment of a mother of 13 children who was a member of the local union at a Unilever factory. Jailed for 11 years, whipped with rattan, kicked with boots and forced to live in a decrepit leper colony, she was considered incorrigible because she refused compromise her principles and wouldn’t confess to her “crimes.” This one makes for macabre reading. Held in prison without trial from 1969 to 1979, the Pulitzer prize-winning author Pramoedya Ananta Toer ’s contributions, written in a spare and direct style, are the most politically charged of the whole collection. “Arrogance”

is a tirade about Indonesia’s colonization of East Timor and the debasement of the rights of Indonesian citizens. Several eras of Indonesia’s modern history have produced mass exoduses. When the Dutch abandoned Indonesia in the 1950s, Dutch collaborators and sympathizers fled to safe havens overseas. Another flight occurred after independence when secessionist rebellions took place in the Outer Island provinces of North Sulawesi, West Sumatra and Maluku. “I Want to Live” takes place during the May 1998 student riots that brought down the repressive Suharto government. But no other period produced as many refugees and as much suffering as the cataclysmic political bloodletting of 1965-1966. The character Esker in “Fleeting Memories” is a hardened wartime veteran who lives in the Indonesian refugee barracks in Nanking, China. Like many of his comrades, he doesn’t consider himself a fugitive, someone on the run, but yet he can’t return home for fear of death or long imprisonment. “One of a Flock” takes place at the funeral an old revolutionary, one of the courageous youths who kidnapped Bung Karno in the early morning of August 16th, 1945, forcing him to declare independence from the Dutch the following day. Told through the thoughts of a comrade-in-arms now his mid-70s, the death of his friend prompts him to return to Indonesia where he is arrested after decades in exile. In “A Student’s Story,” a bright Balinese high school kid innocently joins a Sukarnosupported revolutionary student’s group. When the organization is dissolved, the boy is suspended from school, attacked by a student mob and thrown into prison for nine years for being a member of PKI Malam (“Nighttime Communist”).

The book offers a rare look into how Indonesians perceive a foreign country. “The Suitcase” concerns itself with the difficulties of adapting to living in Russia.

In “Termination of Contract,” an Indonesian who had lived in China since 1963, lost his job at the Asia Pacific Division of Radio Beijing because his socializing with a wide range of Chinese people raised suspicions that he could no longer be trusted. “Naturalization” tells of an Indonesian’s complicated stressful 15-month-long effort to obtain French citizenship for the purpose of acquiring a passport so he could visit his homeland. The poems of friendship, yearning for friends and family, reminisces for the past and for loves interrupted, political affiliation and ideology, the transitory nature of youth, vignettes and impressions of cold faraway lands, rootless wandering and drifting and hope for the future resonate with curses of rage, political slogans, sadness and defeat. Though bombastic and amateurish, the poems are impassioned, their primary aim not being to experiment with language but just to be listened to and understood.

During the 1970s, accusations against Indonesia for human rights violations took on greater impetus and finally in December 1977 the government initiated large-scale releases of its political prisoners, many of whom had been incarcerated for decades without trial. Let’s hope we may never have to read another body of work by writers who had to spend most of their lives on foreign soil after their own land and people had been torn apart.

Mindcraft - The Game of Mindfulness By Becky Buckwell ‘Do it Mindfully’ seems to be the current catchphrase from colleges to corporations. Encouraging us to focus and pay attention to the task. But perhaps the proli¿c use of the word is diminishing its value and oversimplifying its true meaning – being totally present, without judgments, in every moment. ‘Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t)’ – acclaimed Buddhist teacher James Baraz. When we attempt to ‘Mindfully’ focus on one task often we are actually thinking and feeling at tangents, and usually judging. For example shutting down all other applications on a computer (including email!) to focus on preparing a report - but repeatedly thinking about exciting plans for the weekend and frequently feeling irritated about the weather forecast for rain. It seems to me that being mindful is like a spiritual computer game with many levels - Mindcraft. For example in the report-writing situation, Level One is achieved when the only task being undertaken is the report. Level Two would be total concentration on the report, continuously re-focusing as the mind wanders off. Level Three is reached by being aware of those persistent thoughts and emotions. With Level Four comes equanimity, non-judgment of the weekend plans as ‘good’ or the weather as ‘bad’. So how would you rate on a Mindcraft game? Answer these questions awarding each answer a number - 1: always, 2: often, 3: sometimes, 4: occasionally, 5: never. 1) Do you forget people’s names as soon as you are introduced? 2) Do you misplace items such as keys, wallet or phone? 3) Do you reach a destination, by car, bike or walking and not actually remember the journey? 4) Are you aware of your habitual emotional reactions (eg enjoyment or irritation) to quizzes like these? 5) As you were doing this quiz, did you judge each response as good or bad? Unless you scored 25 points you have more ‘levels’ to reach and, as Mindfulness practices have been around since at least the time of Buddha in 500BC (Right Mindfulness is seventh of the Eight Noble Truths) there are plenty of systems and tools. Traditional Buddhist techniques to cultivate Mindfulness involve meditations that maintain awareness on a single point of concentration – breath, sound or sight such as watching a candle. In other methods the attention is placed on thoughts or emotions as they arise and pass. The aim is to simply observe the mind, perhaps labeling ‘planning’, ‘past’ or ‘calm’, ‘frustrated’ then to let these drift away, not to follow them into a narrative. As the mind wanders it is repeatedly refocused back to the point of concentration – without judgment. With practice the mind remains present for longer stretches and potentially this Mindfulness remains after the formal meditation ends. It’s also possible to use the labeling technique for connecting to our thoughts and emotions in any given moment. ‘When difficulties do arise, our first spiritual approach is to acknowledge what is present, naming, softly saying ‘sadness, sadness’, or ‘remembering, remembering’, or whatever’ – acclaimed Buddhist teacher Jack Korn¿eld. I think sitting in formal meditation is comparable to practicing scales on a musical instrument, crucial to a strong foundation (and this analogy is a convenient segue into ways-we-are-mindfulwithout-attempting-to-be). Practicing a musical instrument, along with painting, gardening, cooking, sur¿ng, playing with children, riding a moped in Bali traf¿c or with any activity where we are fully engaged we are habitually being mindful. Our awareness is centered on the present moment without even the separation of observing ourselves in the moment (= Level Five?!) ‘We have to forget things like “I should be mindful of this or that”. If you are mindful, you are already creating a separation (“I - am - mindful - of - ....”). Don’t be mindful, please! When you walk, just walk. Let the walk walk. Let the talk talk. Let the eating eat, the sitting sit, the work work. Let sleep sleep.’ – Zen abbot Muho Noelke.

Also there activities we start perhaps just as a physical pursuit such as yoga, Tai-chi or one of the myriad of martial arts. We choose to intensify the pursuit as we see its broader value in anchoring us in the moment and the abundant accompanying psychological and physiological bene¿ts. Many people report anecdotally that they ‘feel better’ when they regularly practice yoga and its massive worldwide growth over the last few years is testament to its potent power.

In the second part of the Telephone Meditation Thich Nhat Hanh instructs that when we make a call we ¿rst repeat three times ‘I am determined to practice deep listening, I am determined to practice loving speech,’ corresponding the phrases to an inbreath and an outbreath. Thich Nhat Hanh said of the Telephone Mediation – ‘Imagine both people practicing smiling and being calm. If everybody in Washington D.C. would practice that! Calm, peace and the smile would be there.’

Academic studies on the bene¿ts of mindful practices are more precise: reducing stress levels, effective pain management, lower blood pressure, decreasing depression, supportive of weight-loss and addiction recovery programs and many more, including improvements in memory.

There are many ways to incorporate mindfulness exercises into our everyday life. Eating a meal in silence is a common retreat practice. At New Life Foundation the community took silence every evening from 9pm until after breakfast the following day. Mindful eating involves not just being silent but fully experiencing each mouthful, the taste and texture, and de¿nitely excludes watching TV while you eat!

‘Our results suggest that cultivating mindfulness is an effective and ef¿cient technique for improving cognitive function, with wide-reaching consequences’ – Psychological Science study from the University of California. I’ve been doing yoga and breath-focused meditation, on and off, for nearly 20 years. Being on the mat ¿rmly grounds me in the moment as I concentrate on the movements and breath. My teachers have frequently expounded that the key aims are to cultivate attentiveness and equanimity so we can carry these out into everyday life. While I’ve achieved a growing ability to focus, and re-focus, on the present moment (Level 2), I only really understood mindfulness (reached Level 3) when I volunteered on a Buddhist community in Northern Thailand for three months last year.

Similar to the Telephone method are various Alarm Clock Meditations, which could be adapted for Mindcraft levels. Set an alarm to chime every hour or so, you can download phone apps with gentle rings such as Tibetan singing bowls. Decide which Level of Mindcraft you want to practice (not judging any level as ‘good’ or ‘better’!). • •

• New Life Foundation outside Chiang Rai is a mindful community, a place to work on self-development and an affordable option for people looking to overcome issues such as stress, addiction recovery, depression and burnout. The resident program is combined with volunteer opportunities in organic farming, sustainable building and marketing. The schedule offers meditation, yoga, sustainable living plus workshops in personal growth and developing mindfulness. Through these sessions I learnt to observe myself, to identify habitual patterns and to positively transform my reactions in situations from conflict resolution to compassionate listening. I began to almost continuously act as a third-party observer to my thoughts and emotions using a method taught by Jack Korn¿eld, a process following the acronym RAIN. To Recognise a thought or emotion, Accept it, Investigate (without brooding!) and then practice Non-attachment. Knowing that ‘this too will pass’. I became aware that the multitude of judgments pouring from my mind was the cause of irritations and discontentment. (I even judged myself harshly for the amount of judgments!) I started to question and dismiss the judgments with the words of Jack Korn¿eld’s teacher, the Thai Buddhist master Ajahn Chah – ‘It’s not certain, is it?’ I also studied books by other modern masters in mindfulness, The Dali Lama, Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, Pema Chodron, Jeff Foster and the Vietnamese born Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh, founder of Plum Village monastic community based in France. The retreats at Plum Village attract thousands of participants each year and the family event resembles a popular music festival. There are offshoot monasteries around the world and I attended a retreat in Thailand. Periodically each day a gong was struck. It was a sign to stop conversations, work and thought, to take three breaths and come into the present moment. The compound became like a huge game of musical statues. Each time the gong sounded, we all froze in silence and after three breaths resumed activity. An interesting result was the subtle change in atmosphere. After each pause there was a noticeable surge of positivity, of connection, of joy.

•

The Level One meditation would be to focus on the sound of the chimes, closing your eyes for a three deep breaths. Level Two would be to bring your awareness in to the present moment by noting the immediate physical surroundings and any sensations. Maybe taking a moment to appreciate a vase of Àowers or the sound of bird song. In Level Three, being aware of thoughts and emotions, stop and observe what you were thinking and feeling the moment the chimes sounded. Perhaps silently name any emotions that you feel, checking if your mind was in the past or the future, if it was analyzing or planning. Level Four, non-judgment, can be challenging. I ¿nd it helpful to use the RAIN process as a ‘cheat’. To Recognise, Accept and then Investigate before I can let go with some degree of equanimity and Non-attachment. For example if I Recognise that I am (again!) mulling over a decision by my boss to cut my hours, I Accept I feel angry, then I Investigate this. I consider my past patterns and how this incident may have triggered negative core beliefs. I look at the situation from the perspective of my boss and colleagues. I can choose to look at the positives: I will enjoy more free time, it could open up other opportunities for ful¿lling work. Then I can let go of the initial strong judgments and begin to acknowledge that ‘It is what it is’.

Having ascertained that the antidote to my negative judgments is gratitude, I now endeavor to foster contentment by being proactive. I like to play a mnemonic device mindfulness practice that combines using a stunning element of nature as a symbolic prompt with the bene¿ts of gratitude. Every time I see the colour purple in nature (a Àower, a cloud at dusk, a seashell) I think of three things I’m grateful for, including at least one situation I ¿nd challenging. I give thanks for some of the many conditions for happiness in my life, for the opportunity to grow and learn and for the unseen ways the present will influence the future. I remind myself that everything is okay exactly as it is.

‘When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be ¿lled with acceptance, joy, peace and love’ – Thich Nhat Hanh

‘If the only prayer you said in your whole life was “thank you”’ that would suf¿ce.’ – Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now.

Another mindfulness tool advocated by Thich Nhat Hanh is the Telephone Meditation. He teaches that every time the phone rings it instigates a small vibration in us. It creates a hint of worry or excitement: Who is it? Is it good news or bad news? In the practice he instructs us to pause and take an inbreath and an outbreath. To use the sound of the phone to stop and return to the present, to connect to calm, to peace and to answer the phone after the third ring once we are fully established in the moment.

The Best Solution For Power System

by Pak Bruce

Keep your hard drive healthy and working for you If you bought a hard drive just ten years ago, it was probably 120MB in size (that’s 120,000,000 bytes). Today, for the same price as that 120MB drive you would buy a 2TB (Terabyte) drive. That’s 2,000,000,000! That is over 16 times larger! And it would be the same physical size! So think about how small each little byte of your data is now. Tiny! This means that one little piece of dust can wipe out a huge amount of data and can turn your wonderful hard drive into a piece of worthless junk. Also, remember that your hard drive is the hardest-working part of your computer, whether you own a desktop or laptop. The hard drive is also the part most vulnerable to poor PC performance and even total breakdown, because it contains moving parts, moving at 5,400 to 7,200 RPMs. So it is important to perform regular “tune ups” on your hard drive to keep it in top shape and extend its life. Here are some hard drive maintenance tips... 1. Start by providing a safe environment for your hard drive. Heat and humidity like we have here in Bali, is the enemy of electronic components, and most computer cooling fans are aimed at CPU chips, not hard drives. If your desktop computer case is kept under a desk behind a closed door, make sure there are some holes in the top and bottom of the enclosure’s back wall to provide adequate cooling air circulation. Do not block the vents on the computer case. Every few months, open the case and blow out dust bunnies with a vacuum cleaner hose or a disposable can of compressed air. Temperature monitoring software such as SpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php), which I use, monitors temperature sensors built into hard drives (and other components) to warn you if the drive is getting too hot. You can also have extra fans added to your PC. Check with your local PC repair guy. 2. Vibrations can affect the alignment of a hard drive’s delicate read/write head, causing errors and shortening the mechanism’s life. Avoid placing your computer near dishwashers, photocopiers, stereo speakers, and even printers – anything that moves! Don’t move a desktop computer while its hard drive is spinning. Shut the computer down, THEN move it. 3. The less a hard drive’s read/write head must move, the faster it will work and the longer it will last. Keep the data on the hard drive optimally organized by running defragmentation software regularly. Windows’ built-in defragmentation app is free and convenient, but it does not do as good a job as third-party defraggers. I use MyDefrag (http://www. mydefrag.com/) 4. Bad disk sectors, where no data can be written can be on even a brand-new hard drive. Bad sectors crop up eventually on every drive. The read/write head tries several times to use a bad sector before giving up, putting extra stress on the head mechanism and slowing disk operations. Every few months you should scan your hard drive for bad sectors; the Windows scan will block out bad sectors so no futile attempt will be made to use them. To run the scan, click Start / Click Computer / Right-click the drive icon / Click Properties / Select Tools tab / Press “Check now” button. If you get a message asking you to ‘dismount’ the drive, click Cancel. You may also get a message saying that “Windows can’t check the disk while it’s in use”, so select “Schedule disk check”. The next time you reboot the computer the check will happen. Years ago I purchased SpinRite from grc.com (US$89) that is amazing. It looks for disk sectors that are weak – about to go bad! It moves your data somewhere else and then marks these sectors so your hard drive won’t even try to use them. 5. Ample free space on a hard drive lets data be written in continuous blocks, minimizing head movement. One part of hard drive maintenance is cleaning up clutter: old data and applications you no longer need; temporary files created by software installation packages. I use CCleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download). For anything rarely used that never changes, such as image, audio, and video files. These files can be stored on a flash drive or DVD until they are needed.

Hard drive maintenance is vital to your hard drive’s health and longevity. Fortunately, maintenance routines can mostly be done while you use the drive for other things, or scheduled to run unattended in the middle of the night. The benefits of regular hard drive maintenance are well worth the effort. Just remember how much information you could lose if your hard drive became unusable! All those pictures of your kids growing up; music you have collected; movies you love; documents you created that are very important; tax information and other legal documents; and much, much more. So, PLEASE, set aside time to do the above things each month. You’ll thank yourself for it. ============================================================================================ Have a question or problem? Write me at BaliPCAdvisor@Gmail.com.

Business Clubs – 6 Ways to Die or Grow Rich 2 Gambling Clubs You Need To Avoid I would suggest that if you don’t have a future strategy in mind when you start out in business you are more likely operating on hope. You drift into membership of the 55% Club, those whose business doesn’t last 4 years. Crash and burn. Or the 90% Club, those who are living the nightmare of subsistence earnings with net profit at 10% or less, but no savings for the future. Wither and die, slowly and painfully. Do Miracles Happen? You can be a member of the Miracle Club from a lucky inheritance or winning the lottery, with nothing more to worry about forever. You might also get there on your first day in your new business by developing a software package that Facebook wants to buy for billions of dollars. The percentages for miracles are of course extremely low, and I can’t recommend this Club as a business model either. What’s the Premier Business Club? If you’ve made enough money by the time you’re 50 to enable you to stop working with enough assets to cover your needs through to death (including your bucket list) then you’re a member of the 6% Club. That’s roughly the percentage of people who can claim that privilege. You would need at least $1.5 million put aside and that amount will give you an annual living allowance of $50,000 for about 30 years. If you’re in your 20’s then those who know say you would be looking at putting away around $18,000 per year to raise $1.5 million. If you’re already around 35 then you need a surplus of nearly double that every year. What Is My Business For? What is My Life For? Here is the clue for choosing the best possible Club you can belong to. If you can’t meet that age 50 target then your next objective is to have enough at 60 ($1 million), and if really necessary, at 70. Between your current age and your target, you have to earn income for your present needs and your future non-earning life. When you finish with enough funds to cover you forward, you are then a member of the Freedom Club. Very simply, your business can be your Freedom Fund, your entry to the Freedom Club. This is the one area that, if you get it right, can fund your work and future Freedom. Getting freedom right is all about wealth generation. Wealth isn’t just money, it’s also good health, low stress, time with family and friends, and freedom to do what you want with your life. How to Join Early and Prosper You can join the Freedom Club by building up your business assets over time to the desired amount and then selling it. Or, you can join the Freedom Club early with less than the required lump sum, especially if you can convert from being a manager of your business to an owner. Think of “The 4 Hour Work Week” as a model. What you are looking for is getting your business to the stage that can run largely without you. Strategic direction, just like any company director should provide, but otherwise a steady income that can follow you through your days while others do the work. But first things first, which means getting your business to be generating sufficient income to let you live in the lifestyle you desire. Invest in specialist business advice (accountant, lawyer, business coach) and a practical plan to help you generate wealth and save you time. In the past two articles I’ve mentioned a couple of key ingredients, which were developing a customer base, and developing a top team based on workplace respect. I’ve also previously mentioned standardizing your processes so everyone is in synch, as well as being a lean organization and working on ways to double or triple your profit. There’s one other key ingredient required that is best illustrated with music. The Second Best Example of a Business Club To build a sustainable Freedom Fund your business needs to be a fully paid up member of the Orchestra Club. I would (seriously) like you to call up YouTube and watch and listen to at least a part of this piece – G. Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue, http://youtu.be/qLTManObB40

Notice the way everyone is using the same score and are in perfect synch. Notice how the Conductor is the Director, ensuring not just the right meter of process but also placing emphasis on the right areas. Notice all the soloist players who have specific roles as well as combining perfectly in the workgroup. Notice all the paying customers, and the instant feedback of appreciation. Which Of These Two Orchestras Represent Your Business? Compare this other version of the same piece: Rhapsody in Blue by Windy City Harmonica Club, which you can search for on Youtube. You don’t have to listen to this for long, I couldn’t. In the first piece you can easily tell the benefits from using superior resources (ie instruments) and the higher level of professional skill (capabilities). You don’t become a member of an Orchestra Club without lots and lots of practice, not only in the individual skills but also in combining them. This takes time and application, with no wasted notes, no unnecessary overheads. Raw enthusiasm simply isn’t enough.

Avoid Going Too Far in Becoming Lean I know I’ve spoken a lot about cutting costs as a means of improving profits. But you can take it to extremes and lose the plot, as this Work Study report for an orchestra did: “Recommendations concerning the performance of Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony” by this city’s symphony orchestra as observed under actual working conditions: A. The attendance of the conductor is unnecessary for the public performances. The orchestra has obviously practiced and has the prior authorization from the conductor to play the symphony at a predetermined level of quality. Considerable money could be saved merely by having the conductor critique the orchestra’s performance during a retrospective peer review meeting. B. For considerable periods, the four oboe players had nothing to do. Their numbers should be reduced and their work spread over the whole orchestra, thus eliminating peaks and valleys of activity. C. All 12 violins were playing identical notes with identical motions. This is unnecessary duplication: the staff of this section should be cut drastically with consequent savings. If a large volume of sound is required, this could be obtained through electronic amplification, which has reached high levels of reproductive quality. D. Much effort was expanded playing 16th notes or semiquavers. This seems an excessive refinement, as most listeners are unable to distinguish such rapid playing. It is recommended that all notes be rounded up to eighth. If this is done, it would also be possible to use trainees and lower grade musicians with no loss of quality. E. No useful purpose would be appear to be served by repeating with horns the same passage that has already been handled by the strings. If all such redundant passages were eliminated, as a determined by the utilization review committee, the concert would have been reduced from two hours to about 20 minutes, resulting in substantial savings in salaries and overhead. In fact, if Schubert had addressed these concerns on a cost containment basis, he probably would have been able to finish this symphony.”

Pemecutan: Palace of the Whip The seldom-visited Pemecutan Palace lies in the very thick of the old city on the corner of Jl. Thamrin and Jl. Hasanuddin. This is the granddaddy of hundreds of other smaller pemecutan palaces across the island. There are over 35 vassal princes (moncol) in the Denpasar area alone, all royal custodians of numerous important temples. I had always wanted to meet the celebrated raja, so on a recent trip into Denpasar I noticed that palace gates were open, so we impulsively drove into the spacious parking lot. On the left, an aging Àeet of cars, jeeps and land rovers were parked under the shade of two long carports. The palace complex is divided into two main compounds: the pemerajan (place of worship) to the north and the family’s living quarters to the south. A majestic four-tiered kulkul bell tower with its hollow wooden drum and eight small raksasa statues stood on the south side of the parking area. Chinese porcelain plates decorated the topmost tier. Leaning against the tower were two giant campaign posters picturing the raja’s aristocratic wife Anak Agung Ayu Suryaningsih who is running for a seat in the regional legislature (Bali DPRD). Symbolizing the holy Mount Meru of Hindu mythology, the imposing Kori Agung split-gates, brightened with several banten Àower offerings, towered just meters from the fumes and cacophony of the capital’s midday traf¿c. But when we climbed the steps and walked into the palace we left the profane environs of the city and emerged into the more sacred space of the puri. In this inner courtyard of open pavilions, caged roosters and sleeping quarters, groups of families, children and men in black t-shirts lunged and milled about. Entrance was free. I asked one of the men if I may present myself to the king. While waiting, I took photographs from a low wooden fence, which surrounded a grand pavilion (bale) directly to the front. Every now and then I glanced over to where the king was holding audience to see if one of the seats had opened up. Crowned in 1986, the present Ida Cokorda Pemecutan XI is known for his generosity, his gregarious offbeat nature, his healthy appreciation of the opposite sex and for tooling a formidable black military-style Land Cruiser around town. Still highly revered, his inÀuence stemming from his position and wealth as a top-ranking liege lord, the Cokorda was receiving subjects, politicians, businessmen, well-wishers, people owed or collecting favors, all waiting their turn. In spite of Badung’s royal residences – Denpasar, Pemecutan, Kesiman and Satria – becoming disenfranchised of all political power when Indonesia became a republic in 1950, their descendants are in fact still quite inÀuential in many of the political, social and cultural matters that involve Denpasar’s residents. A Turbulent History The history of this royal house is inseparable from the history of Badung, the old name for Denpasar. Pemecutan was one of Bali’s most powerful royal houses during the feudal era. The palace traces its ancestral origins to Arya Damar, a young warrior priest of the Javanese Majapahit kingdom of East Java who joined the military expedition to conquer Bali in the 14th century. The Javanese Majapahit army came ashore at Kuta in 1343.

The ¿rst Dutchmen also landed on Bali at Kuta in 1597. Kiyai Anglurah Jambe Pule, one of Arya Damar’s male descendants, established Pemecutan in 1630, constructed the original palace and became the ¿rst raja and founder of the Pemecutan dynasty.

of the royal family. Old guidebooks recommended the Pemecutan Palace Hotel within the palace precincts as a place to stay “for backpackers and travelers.”

The clan defeated its rival Mengwi in 1891, but held sway only brieÀy until the incursion of a new and increasingly inÀuential player, the Dutch. Though the colonizers subdued the northern part of the island in 1849, the fertile lowlands of the south came under colonial rule only in the early years of the 20th century.

Though the hotel is now closed, the Denpasar Cultural Agency organizes regular ¿eld trips to the palace so students are able to learn about the history of their municipality. The site is also included in Jelajah Pusaka, a government-initiated tour package designed for history-conscious visitors during the annual four-day Denpasar Festival. The tour starts from Puri Pemecutan, then heads along the Jl. Gajah Mada shopping street, ¿nishing at Puri Satria.

The rebuilding of the present-day Pemecutan palace was commenced in 1907 (completed in 1934) from what remained of a much larger original palace destroyed by Dutch artillery 1906, a pivotal event in modern Balinese history when all of the city’s royal houses lost their political and military power, setting the stage for the conquest of all of southern Bali.

The most striking features of the lavish open pavilion directly to the front, now used only for important meetings, exhibitions and receptions, are the gold-lacquered ceiling, gilded wooden pillars and displays of old weapons, stuffed tigers, antique vases, large black and white photographs of digni¿ed royal personages past and present.

On 15 September 1906, the Dutch anchored a large war Àeet off Sanur and landed an expeditionary force of 2,000 men. At dawn the next day, the Dutch started their advance on Denpasar. Hopelessly outgunned but unwilling to face the humiliation of surrender, the raja of Denpasar and all his relatives formed a fantastic procession in the face of Dutch riÀes. Startled by a stray shot, the soldiers ¿red volley after volley into the crowd, resulting in the annihilation of the entire royal family.

But the piece de resistance is an exceptional xylophonic orchestra, which survived the colonial army’s attack on the original puri in 1906 because it was submerged underwater in the palace’s reÀecting pool. Known affectionately as gamelan mas (Golden Gong), this extravagant gamelan was made in the instrument maker’s village of Tihingan over 100 years ago and is revered for its age, its beautifully carved cases and its sound characteristics.

On September 20th, the army faced another puputan led by the raja of Pemecutan, Cokorda Ngurah Agung Pemecutan IIX. Despite his frail physique, the elderly king asked his nobles, ministers, courtiers, retainers dressed in their most splendid ceremonial white attire to carry him on a gilded open sedan chair out of the palace and straight into the Dutch line of ¿re for a “¿ght to the end.” Holding a kris in his right hand and whip in his left, legend has it that the old man took eight bullets before he died. A statue honoring the heroic whip-cracking raja Ida Cokorda Pemecutan IX, the grandfather of the present raja Cokorda Pemecutan XI, sits high on a brick pedestal in the middle of the busy intersection just to the south side of the palace. Though the puri was destroyed and nearly Statue dedicated to the current Raja’s grandfather all of the raja’s immediate relatives - men, women, and children - perished in the battle, two surviving sons, AA Gde Lanang and Cokorda Ngurah Gede Pemecutan X, were to continue the royal lineage. Despite military defeat and the end of feudal rule, I Gusti Ngurah Gde Pemecutan was very active in nationalist circles in the 1930s. From 1939 to 1955, he served for as a penglingsir, traditional head of the royal family. Though ostensibly collaborating with the Dutch occupiers, I Gusti Ngurah Rai - the main Balinese republican leader - urged the puri’s patriarch to help the resistance “from within” until independence was achieved. In 1955, he founded Denpasar’s Sanglah Hospital and in 1965 he became Badung’s ¿rst bupati (regent). The current leader of the Pemecutan royal residence, Ida Cokorda Pemecutan XI, a former speaker of the Bali Legislative Council and head of the local chapter of the Golkar Party, still wields considerable clout within Bali’s elite political establishment and owns valuable property near the palace. The royal house’s coat of arms features a sacred whip, one of the martyred raja’s favorite accouterments of power. Pemecutan means “whipping” or “lashing” from the root verb memecut (to whip, urge on, instigate). Its origins date back to when it was given by the Pura Batur community to one of the ancestors of the Pemecutan dynasty centuries ago. Even to the present day, all males in this very big family have the right to have a whip tattooed on their chests. A Pioneer of Palace Tourism Pemecutan was the ¿rst of Denpasar’s royal houses to open its doors to visitors. In 1969, in order to cash in on the lucrative tourist trade, the puri began staging cultural and musical shows, giving foreign visitors the opportunity to appreciate the architectural beauty of the buildings, as well as the daily life

Cokorda Pemecutan XI considers the orchestra a symbol of his royal status, a living component of a modern 21st century Balinese royal palace. It is played only on occasion of the once yearly Purnama Kesepuluh festival, which took place this year on April 14th. For more than 30 years, this historic ensemble was on display in the Bali Museum. As the story goes, after Bali gained its sovereignty in 1948, members of the royal family “borrowed” the gamelan from the museum on the occasion of a special odalan ceremony. According to the royals, the gamelan was not borrowed but only “came home” (mudol) to its proper place within the palace. This puri is credited with starting the fashion of wearing black clothing at funerary rites. Inspired by a televised grand cremation by the palace in 1985, the Balinese were struck by the powerful visual effect of hundreds of attendees dressed in black kebaya and black shirts. By the mid-1990s, the chic fashion had been adopted all over the island and had even become de riguer everyday dress of the males. One of the black shirts asked that I take one of the empty chairs. After three nattily dressed men departed, I introduced myself. The Cokorda and I talked of history, traditions and mutual friends. May I take photos of some of the heirlooms? No, he replied, all are sacred and kept safely in storage. Do you actually use all those vehicles in the outer courtyard? He regaled me with a story of an overland expedition to Sumatra. The Cokorda invited me to have a meal with him. We carried on the conversation, but the constant stream of visitors pressed him for time. Taking my leave and exchanging business cards, on the way out I thanked a black-shirted man named Wayan for making a place for me in line. As we shook hands, he advised me that if I ever got into trouble, just show the raja’s black business card. “Just say you know the Cokorda,” he said. Practicalities Puri Pemecutan, Jl.
