After successfully bringing Temper Trap to the stage plus many other successful live performances this year, Ismaya Live! is set to kick 2011 in gear with Two Doors Cinema Club as their first stage show of the New Year.
After much deliberation, Urbanite has decided to move their concert featuring bands MGMT and The Whitest Boy Alive from Tennis Indoor Senayan to Bengkel Nightpark. No changes have been made to the date of the performance - Urbanite has promised to keep it on the 26th of March. Since the event will be held at Bengkel Nightpark, the tribunal tickets that were offered are no longer available and have all been changed to festival tickets. Tickets will set you back Rp325K and are available at all Aksara and Portico outlets.

Has Been Ne-Yo - is an American, pop and RnB singersongwriter, record producer, dancer, actor, and occasional rapper. He has had five top ten songs as a lead artist and two number-one albums in the US. He has also amassed a catalogue of chart-topping songs that he has written for other artists. Breaking into the recording industry as a songwriter, by penning the hit “Let Me Love You” for singer Mario, the single’s success in the US prompted an informal meeting with Def Jam’s label head, and the signing of a recording contract. In 2006, he released his debut album, ‘In My Own Words’, then in 2007, he released his sophomore album, ‘Because of You’ which contained the US top 3 hit, with the same title. In 2008, he released his third album, Year of the Gentleman, which contained the top 10 hits “Closer” and “Miss Independent”. His fourth studio album, Libra Scale was released on November 22nd, 2010. is Now Ne-yo was scheduled to perform earlier in December with Chris Brown but that show was cancelled. Sentra Live finally succeeded in making the fans dreams become reality, with Ne-Yo performing at Istora Senayan. The concert which is in part to promote his latest album ‘Libra Scale’ will be held on the 22nd of January and will feature local performers Maliq & D’Essentials, Ello, Soulvibe plus many others. Sentra Live! have also announced that a special stage will be erected just for Ne-Yo. Curious?

Beberapa lagu ciptaan Ne-Yo yang dibawakan oleh artis lain pun telah mencapai peringkat teranyar. Mengawali karir musicnya sebagai penulis lagu dan berhasil menciptakan lagu ‘Let Me Love You’ yang dinyanyikan Mario. Suksesnya lagu tersebut membuka peluang bagi Ne-Yo untuk ketemu dengan kepala dari label Def Jam dan langsung tanda tangan kontrak. Pada tahun 2006, dia merilis album perdananya berjudul ‘In My Own Words’ dan tahun berikutnya mengeluarkan album keduanya berjudul ‘Because of You’ yang mempopulerkan lagu dengan judul yang sama hingga posisi #3 di AS. Tahun 2008 Neyo meluncurkan album ketiganya berjudul ‘Year of The Gentlemen’ dan dengan lagu ‘Closer’dan ‘Miss Independent’ kembali memasuki posisi top ten. Album terbarunya Libra Scale baru keluar pada tanggal 22 November lalu. is Now Bulan Desember 2010, Ne-Yo sempat dikabarkan akan tampil bersama Chris Brown di Jakarta namun batal.

Jakarta
2011 Sentra Konser Musik Asia Tahun 2010 baru saja berlalu beberapa hari. Dalam konteks berkesenian, khususnya pelibatan artis manca negara, tahun lalu Indonesia—utamanya Jakarta—menunjukkan geliat yang sungguh menggembirakan. Bukan saja makin banyak musisi asing mendatangi Nusantara (Java Jazz 2010 saja mendatangkan 430 orang), kian kerap diadakan festival musik berkaliber internasional (Java Rockin’Land adalah pagelaran musik cadas paling masif di Asia Tenggara), juga kualitasnya menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan (sebut saja penghibur kelasnya telah setingkat 311, Placebo, & Smashing Pumpkins). Nah, bagaimana dengan 2011? Tampaknya makin “gawat”. Bagaimana tidak, baru hari ke-10 di bulan pertama tahun yang baru ini publik sudah disuguhi N.E.R.D. (Istora Senayan) dan sejenak setelahnya pada 22 Januari tampil Ne-Yo di lokasi yang sama. Berlanjut lagi dengan bulan-bulan berikutnya. Kongsi seniman mulai dari Deftones (8 Februari, Tennis Indoor Senayan), Iron Maiden (17 Februari, Gelora Bung Karno), New Found Glory (23 Februari,
beatmag.com 044
Tennis Indoor Senayan), Stone Temple Pilots (13 Maret 2011, Pantai Karnaval Ancol), Jimmy Eat World (3 April, Tennis Indoor Senayan), hingga Maroon 5 (27 April, Istora Senayan) menggoyang Jakarta. Barangkali nihil orang yang bahkan berani membayangkan bahwa Steve Harris bakal berkenan mengajak serta kelompoknya, Iron Maiden, untuk beraksi di Jakarta. Pun pencinta grunge rasanya cuma bermimpi bisa menonton dari dekat Scott Weiland bersama Stone Temple Pilots. Apalagi kaum wanitanya, pasti histeris kegirangan karena obsesinya terbayarkan dengan kedatangan Maroon 5. Dari daftar artis tenar sejagat yang sudah memastikan tampil itu saja seyogianya Indonesia optimistik bahwa bianglala di jagat hiburan khususnya musik akan semakin berwarna di 2011. Sudah begitu, bolehlah Jakarta memasang target di 2011 paling tidak menjadi “sentra konser musik Asia”. ...Metalica tampil di Java Rockin’Land 2011, sekadar mimpi atau kenyataan di dunia fantasi?
Feature
In the context of international entertainment, last year brought a lot of hope to Jakarta. So many overseas musicians were involved (Java Jazz 2010 itself brought 430 musicians alone). The calibre of the festivals became much bigger (Java Rockin’Land was considered to be the largest rock event in South East Asia). More and more world famous bands came and played (311, Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins, to name a few). How about 2011? Will it get even more “large”. The early days of this new year N.E.R.D. will play in Istora Senayan. A bit after that Ne-Yo will also perform at the same venue. In February there’ll be Deftones, Iron Maiden and New Found Glory. In March Stone Temple Pilots. In April Jimmy Eat World & Maroon 5. From this list the general public can be optimistic that the music shows in Indonesia will be even more dynamic. We won’t be too surprised if Jakarta or Indonesia could reach at least “Asia’s Rock Mecca” status in 2011...

Led Zeppelin, and I like all of their albums. I just like the way they display their soul in their music. What was the worst record you ever purchased? Never. Ask around before you buy. Ha ha ha. Who do you want to be, other than yourself, next time you reincarnate? Mistique (one of the characters in X-Men that can transform into anyone) hahaha.

emikianlah fenomena yang menimpa Brand New Storm (BNS), grup baru yang bernaung di bawah payung Nagaswara Music & Publishing. Setelah single "Harus Meninggalkanmu" mengharu biru pada 2010, kongsi yang dikomandani oleh Badai di fajar 2011 kembali melepas yang kedua bertajuk "Pergi". Lagu itu sendiri sejatinya merupakan satu di antara yang disertakan di album perdana, SHER (Soul Heart, Energy, Responsive), dan baru akan digelontorkan secara formal ke penggemar musik Tanah Air dalam waktu dekat. Sungguh mengejutkan saat Mustang FM diberikan album yang belum lagi resmi beredar tersebut segera mendapat apresiasi lebih. Salah satu radio terbesar di Jakarta itu spontan menggelari album terpanas Januari 2011. “Yang pasti, album ini dianggap sangat berbeda dari karya-karya saya di Kerispatih. Padahal, di dua band ini, musiknya tetap digarap oleh satu otak. Single ‘Pergi’misalnya, dianggap lekat dengan karakter American Rock Vintage,” Badai menjelaskan. Benar, Badai (vokal, keyboard) tercatat masih menjadi personel Kerispatih. Betul, "Badai Baru" bukan anak kemarin sore. Perhatikan Arief (gitar), ia juga anggota tetap Kerispatih. Enwil (vokal) mantan biduan Aladin. Deva dulunya drummer Pilot. Eltrino pernah berkiprah menjadi penanggungjawab departemen bas di Pribumi. Tapi di BNS mereka menggunakan pendekatan berbeda: simple rock 90an padu padan antara Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Soul Asylum, Foo Fighters, The Calling hingga artis solo Phil Collins. Buktikan sendiri kehebohan tersebut dengan terus memantau radio serta cermati gerak-gerik BNS di situs Nagaswara www.nagaswara.co.id
Brand New Storm (BNS) have created a big buzz: they have not even formally released their debut album, but Mustang FM, one of the biggest radios in Jakarta, has already awarded their upcoming debut as "The Hottest Album in January". After making quite a big buzz with their first single in 2010, "Harus Meninggalkanmu", in early January 2011 they released the second single, "Pergi". This single is actually one of the songs that is included in their upcoming album, SHER (Soul Heart, Energy, Responsive). Badai, keyboard/ vocal/leader of the band, gave Mustang FM the whole album that hadn’t yet been formally released. It turned out Mustang FM really liked the material and honoured it as "The Hottest Album in January". Although BNS only started to attract the public's attention in 2010, as a matter of fact, the personnel are pretty much veterans. Badai and Arief (guitar) are also members of Kerispatih. While Enwil (vocal) used to be the singer of Aladin, Deva played drums before in Pilot, and Eltrino took care of bass during his days with Pribumi. If you're into simple, easy listening and 90s music from the likes of Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Soul Asylum, Foo Fighters and The Calling, turn on your radio and check out their newest single "Pergi".

My Culinary Journey in
Luna negra
2010
By Erza S.T.
As a city, Jakarta still has its problems. Luckily, Jakarta’s culinary landscape is improving more than the city itself. More and more new restaurants (independent or chain, in malls or not), are springing up all over the place. It reminded me of what Laksmi Pamuntjak once told me: “People need food! The restaurant business will always work in Jakarta”. This is especially true thanks to an ever-growing population to feed, ensuring that the restaurant business is indeed a safe one.
Nevertheless, we also need to remember that aside from moneymaking reasons, restaurant business owners also need to put high priority on service, food quality and price. As a food reviewer I see many restaurants opening just for the sake of it that lack any sort of passion. To start a restaurant business is totally fine, but having the knowledge of how to do it properly is of the utmost importance. This is something that most restaurant owners in Jakarta often overlook. So this is my list for 2010. I could go on and on with more restaurants as Jakarta has over 1,000 restaurants and countless street eateries, however the list below consists of restaurants that are most memorable to me.

hen you walk up the stairs (the restaurant is on the second floor), you feel like you are being transported to another world and another time. A couple of waitresses in colourful Indian attire immediately smiled and greeted us warmly on my recent visit. The place itself is really impressive. The ambiance is unmistakably Indian, with beautiful furniture and decorations that evoke the magnificent country of India. The stylish neutral tones are accentuated by soft lights streaming down the walls, while the rich aromas of burning oils drifted in the air as we sat down, adding a dramatic touch to our dining experience. It really felt like we were invited to some regal palace in India for a magnificent meal.
of the best quality, the cooking is brilliant, and the presentation excellent. That is why we love coming to this restaurant time and time again. Kinara is not just a great Indian restaurant, but having a meal there feels like a wonderful event, whether enjoying it by yourself, with your partner, or with a bunch of friends or family members. I recommend sitting in one of the intimate nooks and crannies for a better dining experience.
I’ve been to Kinara a couple of times before, but have yet to savour (from what I’ve heard) the best Indian Sunday brunch buffet in town, probably even in Indonesia! Every Sunday from 11.30am until 2.30pm, a sumptuous array of delicious dishes that are the trademark of Kinara await you. Our friendly waitress brought a complimentary This Sunday buffet is priced at 100k++ (including basket of papadums with chutneys, which started free flow juices and lassi), 150k++ (including free off the meal beautifully. We then ordered some flow beer), and 250++ (including free flow wine garlic naan (19k++) (leavened refined flour bread and beer). made in the tandoor and seasoned with garlic), Subz Shahjahani (52k++) (a richly flavoured curry Now, if that isn’t a good reason to visit Kinara, I of vegetables cooked with tomatoes and onions), don’t know what is.

LIQUID
EXCHANGE bar | lounge | restaurant
Liquid Exchange is a fresh and vibrant concept by the Aphrodite group located on Epicentrum Walk. It is a great new place to meet, wine and dine in the heart of the Kuningan area.

A
t first glance, Liquid Exchange is a study in contrasts. The opulent bar area on the first floor with its chandeliers and mirrors turns into a cozy, more homely upstairs area. But most people make for the outdoor area, where you can enjoy your drinks and meals alfresco on the large comfy sofas in a beach-bar type of setting. There is one other feature that is unique to this place. You should check out the stock exchange-type drink menu (drinks market price information) featured on the plasma screens. The system goes like this; the more people that order a particular type of drink, the more its price will go down! Now that’s what I call an extra incentive! I visited Liquid Exchange with a few friends in tow on a nice, late afternoon. We came mainly for the happy hour (2-8pm, 40% discount on drinks), but we also decided to try the food there. They go to great lengths to make sure that the food is first-rate. The first thing we noticed on the menu was the extensive selection of soups from around the world.They come in two sizes, regular (200 ml) and big (300 ml).We ordered some Tom Yam Goong (29k, regular) - the ever-popular spicy Thai soup. It was a tasty starter, with just the right amount of kick. Next came escargot in bread boat (49k), and roast baby chicken with shiitake mushrooms (99k). The escargot is craftily hidden inside a hot dog-type bun, and sautéed in rich herb butter. It’s a feast for the eyes and the taste buds! The roast baby chicken is served with dauphine potatoes and mixed vegetables with herbs, and accompanied with a tasty creamy sauce. We were informed that their Asian food selection has received much praise from the patrons, with the stock exchange influenced names adding an extra level of fun: The Ikan Rica-Rica becomes ‘Ikan Rich-Rich’ (69k), the Beef Rendang turns into ‘Beef Rundown’ (79k), and the ‘Ayam Broker’ (69k) are among the crowd’s favourites. The lunch and dinner set menus are also noteworthy. For 45k, you’ll get soup, main course and dessert - a great deal indeed. We ended our visit with a Snickers Martini (80k) - just one of many concoctions offered here. Next time, we will definitely try the drinks market information on for size! Liquid Exchange had its soft opening on November 26th, 2010. It is still a new kid on the block, but already they are creating a lot of good hype. We are eagerly waiting for the grand opening sometime in February this year.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest Thriller, Drama. Director: Daniel Alfredson. Writer: Ulf Ryberg. Cast: Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace and Lena Endre. Setelah tragedi yang menimpa Lisbeth Salander di sekuel kedua sebelumnya, dia pun dirawat di rumah sakit dalam pengawasan ketat oleh polisi untuk kasus-kasus pembunuhan yang dituduhkan padanya. Setelah selesai perawatan, Lisbeth harus menjalani sidang dan mengajukan adu banding agar dibebaskan dari kasus tersebut. Jurnalis Mikael Blomkvist dan rekanrekannya di Millenium magazine pun ikut membantu untuk membuktikkan bahwa Lisbeth tidak bersalah. Semuanya tidak akan berjalan semudah yang dibayangkan karena mereka harus berhadapan dengan pihak-pihak berkuasa dalam pemerintahan, dan Lisbeth harus bersedia membeberkan aib masa lalunya untuk dijadikan bukti dalam sidang. Bagi penggemar yang telah mengikuti adaptasi film pertama dan kedua dari Millenium Trilogy karangan Stieg Larsson pasti akan sangat mengantisipasi bagaimana jadinya akhir dari cerita si Lisbeth Salander dan temantemannya di Millenium magazine menguak skandal para pejabat pemerintahan di Stockholm. Berbeda dari sekuel pertama yang lebih pada misteri, dan sekuel kedua yang dibubuhi dengan lebih banyak action, film terakhir ini akan lebih berputar dalam drama dan ketegangan pengadilan yang penuh dengan intrik-intrik permainan kata dan siasat yang akan membuatmu fokus mengikuti dari awal sampai akhir. Benang merah dari sekuel sebelumnya akan kembali muncul dan mengakhiri cerita trilogi ini dengan akhir yang tepat. After playing with fire in the previous sequel, Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo, shows how to kick the hornet’s nest this time in this last installment of the Millenium trilogy adapted from Stieg Larsson’s books. The storyline follows on from the second installment, where Lisbeth fights to prove her innocence with the help of Mikael and her journalist friends from Millenium magazine. The last film in this trilogy will grip you with its courtroom-drama tension for a large part of the story. Be sure to pay attention to every scene, as a few puzzles from the previous sequel are answered here.
Burlesque Musical, Drama. Writer & Director: Steve Antin. Cast: Cher, Christina Aguilera, Alan Cumming, Stanley Tucci, Eric Dane, Kristen Bell.

beatmag.com 068
pramusaji di sebuah bar theater bernama The Burlesque Lounge, yang merupakan sebuah tempat show yang dulunya terkenal akan penampilan seni panggung nyanyi dan tari yang provokatif. Sementara Tess (Cher) sang pemilik berusaha untuk mengembalikan kejayaan bar theater tersebut dan menghentikan pengusaha kaya yang ingin mengambil alih, Ali menunjukkan bakat suaranya dan menjadi primadona utama di tempat tersebut. Dengan teman-teman baru, musuh baru, dan asmara baru, Ali mengembalikan sorotan publik pada The Burlesque Lounge dan mendapatkan impiannya ... hingga pada dia disodorkan dengan tawaran impian yang lebih besar lagi dari seorang pengusaha menawan. Seni tampil provokatif di panggung yang disebut Burlesque di Eropa dan Amerika merupakan salah satu pertunjukan klasik yang seksi dan sangat diminati orang-orang. Ketika ini dijadikan sebuah film musikal layar lebar dengan nama penyanyi legenda Cher dan penyanyi seksi berbakat Christina Aguilera, siapa yang tidak sabar untuk menontonnya? Penonton pria akan disuguhkan dengan keseksian dan sensualisme pertunjukan burlesque, dan penonton wanita akan menikmati sisi romansa dramanya. Ditambah dengan jajaran pemain menawan lainnya, baik bagi kaum adam dan hawa, seperti Eric Dane (Valentine’s Day, Grey’s Anatomy series), Cam Gigandet (Twilight, New Moon), Kristen Bell (When in Rome), Dianna Agron (Glee series), ini bisa menjadi sebuah film yang tepat di saat janji kencan dengan pasangan! It seems like drama musical films have been making a bit of a comeback of late, but star-studded casts in movies of this genre don‘t always guarantee a hit. However, let’s try to throw the scepticism away for this one. Burlesque features the legendary Cher’s and stunning voice of Christina Aguilera. The story revolves around how Tess (Cher) struggles to revive the glory of her burlesque theatre days, only to find her new bar waitress, Ali (Christina), has the talent to put herself back the spotlight. With a spark of romance in the story, two original songs nominated for the upcoming Golden Globes, an eye-candy cast, sensuality and sexually provocative burlesque performing art, both male and female audiences are sure to find it enjoyable at the very least. So don’t delay and get glammed up with this fabulous flick!

Di abad ke-14, seorang prajurit perang, Behmen (Nicolas Cage, National Treasure) kembali ke tanah kelahirannya yang sedang dilanda wabah maut misterius.

FART, Art In Cycle Culture
December 22-29, 2010 Cyclo Bike Co. Jl. Kemang Raya no. 80 (behind Aksara Bookstore), Jakarta Selatan
There was a time when bicycles were just considered ordinary objects. But thanks to Fixie, the nickname for fixed-gear bikes, those days are over. Bicycles are now considered cool once again and even better, you can now turn them into pieces of art. Cyclo Bike Co., a new bike shop in Jakarta, held “FART, Art In Cycle Culture”, an art exhibition focusing on fixie bikes as the main object. From Aprilia Apsari, Arie Dyanto, Arks, plus many fixie bike enthusiasts gave their interpretation of this retro return as homage to this hipster vehicle.
Art You Can Ride As the streets of the capital grow ever more congested, the choice to use bicycles as an alternative transport is becoming a trend. The choice to use the fixie bikes, which several hardcore bicycle devotees consider a not-sopopular means of cycling is itself becoming an artsy selection for the young and trendy. Twenty exhibited artists, who happen to be fixie riders, manifested their love for their vehicle in their art works.
Fixie’s are known for their simplicity and the customization culture behind this new rising trend is left open to ones imagination. These bikes have sparked the creativity of many of its riders and judging by the strokes and the color used in their artworks, most of the pieces presented here were in the vein of pop art movement.

No doubt, visitors to “All but Paper: Contemporary Paper Art” will find various messages shrouded within the pieces exhibited, although the only main theme of the exhibition is paper. Curated by Asmudjo Jono Irianto, the exhibition held at dia.lo.gue artspace, Kemang, celebrates the work of modern art using the keyword “paper” as the main object. From two-dimensional artworks printed on paper to the literal use of paper as the shapes that fill the space, you’ll never see paper the same way again. In the mainstream art scene, using paper as a medium of art is often judged as ‘second-grade’ work and shows low profile in character. However, one cannot deny that paper is used as the most basic material in creating art and plays an important role in every artist’s creative experience. Some of the pieces exhibited here can be classified as conventional works on paper. Artists such as T. Sutanto (Tarian Langit), Theresia Agustina (What Ark), Eddie Hara (Who’s Gonna Be My Guiding Light), Budi Kustarto (Take Me To Heaven), and Hilman Hendarsyah fill the blank spaces of paper with construction heavy in visual narration targeted at opening ones imagination. There are also some lessconventional artworks printed on paper by Agan Harahap (Unchained Melody), Arief Tousiga (Hi-story in Low Resolution) and Deden Durahman (AITTO: Mandala #2). Even though their creations of art are made by digital processing, the manipulation of historical images mocking our modern capitalistic society and its culture is of paramount interest. The contemporary use of paper in a wider sense is shown by Adi Purnomo (Rumah Susun untuk Siapa?), Aditya Novali (White Ashes), Henricus Linggawidjaja (Fully Booked), Mendiola B. Wiryawan (Curtain of Question), Beni Messa (Shirt) and Eric Widjaja (Legacy). The use of paper as a medium to create shapes and voice their social critiques is impressive. By incorporating various methods to manipulate paper visually; from folding to concaving; all pieces sends a message to the world.

“All but Paper: Contemporary Paper Art” is able to demonstrate all the sentiments above with just a simple piece of paper. It is amazing what these artists are capable of doing to this recyclable yet tree destroying material.

Both organizations have been doing this messagesending art since 2004 and now this “Year End Project� invaded Blora and Dukuh Atas tunnel. The tragedies of 2010 made it a hell of a year to face.

THE LATEST, GREATEST GADGETS TO GET YOUR HANDS ON
The Carpal Tunnel Preventing Mouse
This is the wireless mouse that matches the natural movements of your hand and wrist to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Unlike the typical mouse that imposes a fixed position for a user’s wrist--a leading cause for Repetitive Stress Injury--this mouse tilts and pivots around a pedestal that serves as its base, providing comfortable, relaxed flexion for the wrist, reducing cramping and fatigue. The pedestal’s bottom glides over a mousepad when used, communicating with a computer running Windows 7, Vista, or XP or a Mac using its USB wireless adapter. It has a left and right button and a scroll wheel. Two AA batteries (included) provide 10 months of operation. $49.95 http://www.hammacher.com/
The Instant Cold Or Hot Rechargeable Compress
This is the device that instantly emits cold or heat to treat muscle aches and joint pain. The handheld device’s aluminum head heats to 110º F or cools to 40º F--the ideal temperatures for thermo- and cryo-therapies--in 45 seconds, relieving swelling or facilitating blood flow to help heal injuries. Eliminating the hassle of being tethered to a heating pad or refreezing a cold pack, the device is smaller than a television remote and its head swivels 90º, allowing you to easily position it against your body. A toggle switch changes it from heat to cold application instantly. $129.95 http://www.coolest-gadgets.com

LG OPTIMUS I P500
The LG Optimus One P500 has a very nice design with a stylish look. It is a sleek phone with the standard touchscreen candybar form factor. With dimensions of 113.5 x 59 x 13.3 mm and a weight of just 129 gms, it is quite compact and easily pocketable. It sports a 3.2 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. 3.2 inches is the minimum display size an Android device should have, any lower than that and the Android experience starts deteriorating rapidly. The LG Optimus One P500 is a capable phone when it comes to hardware. Compared to other budget Android phones, it sports relatively better hardware specs. It comes with a 600 MHz ARM processor and 419 MB of RAM. It has 170 MB of internal storage and supports up to 32 GB microSD cards. It runs Android 2.2 Froyo with a modified UI shell. Except for a few frills, LG has mostly left the Android OS alone, which is a very good thing. Cellular World. Jl Teuku Umar no 60 (Denpasar) RP. 2,890,000

CardSharp Folding Credit Card Knife
While not as robust a multitasker as even a basic Swiss Army Knife, this folding credit card blade from Iain Sinclair looks far more compact and smuggle-friendly as you can keep it stashed away in your wallet. It weighs just 13 grams, is only 2mm thick and features a stainless steel blade with a healthy 65mm cutting edge and a short serrated edge on the opposite side. When folded away a built-in sheath prevents you from accidentally touching the sharp blade, and since I’m sure you’re having as hard a time as I did envisioning how it does fold/unfold. http:// www.ohgizmo.com/ $23

Scoop International Day of Italian Cuisine Three Italian chefs, each working from their respective kitchens in Bali, will participate in the 4th Annual International Day of Italian Cuisine to take place on Monday, January 17th, 2011. The trio of Bali-based chefs will join a global group of 1,000 fellow Italian chefs all preparing a deceptively simple dish - Pesto alla Genovese - on that date. One of the three chefs joining the culinary campaign is Giordano Fagioli of the AYANA Resort and Spa Bali, who will present this well-known dish with a few modern touches not often seen in traditional methods. To celebrate this annual day of Italian cuisine why not visit the three chefs at each Bali location as they present their individual versions of this ubiquitous Italian favourite. They are: Chef Giorano Faggioli – Executive Chef, AYANA Resort and Spa Bali at Jimbaran. Massimo Sacco – Owner-chef, Da Massimo Restaurant in Sanur, Michele Greggio – Executive Chef, Puri Jimbaran Resort, Jimbaran.
Bali Requests UNESCO Geopark Status for Mount Batur The Indonesian government is seeking to have the Mount Batur National Park, located in the regency of Bangli in Bali, included in the UNESCO network of Global Geoparks. UNESCO Geoparks are recognized by the United Nations as “a territory encompassing one or more sites of scientific importance, not only for geological reasons but also by virtue of its archaeological, ecological or cultural value.” The director of promotions at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Achyaruddin, sees geopark status as important for increasing tourist numbers to a specific destination. The government is lobbying for geopark status for both the Mount Batur site and for the Pacitan nature reserve area of East Java. Only two other Southeast Asian districts - Langkawi in Malaysia and Dong Van Karst in Vietnam - have qualified for geopark status from UNESCO.
Dhyana Pura’s New Chill out Spot The construction walls have finally come down and the previously unknown white building on Dhyana Pura has been named as Maria Magdalena. Seemingly devoid of any religious ties excepting the name, Maria Magdalena is the little sister of JP’s Warung - housing a chill out bar downstairs and two large billiard tables on the second floor. Sometime this year, JP’s Warung will undergo renovation to connect both venues with the stage being moved further to the back. A sushi place will also be set at the back of Maria Magdalena to cater to those after some good Japanese grub.

Double Six Even with a backdrop of hideous and rampant fireworks (that should be banned from the streets), heavy down pours of rain and constant drizzle, New Year’s Eve this year was a huge success all over town. Hot spots like Kuta were ram packed with tourists and locals like always, with a heavy police presence and roads closed to keep things under wraps. Most Seminyak streets were also suffering traffic jams from start to finish, with cars abandoned in the middle of the streets leaving people trying to make it by foot to their favorite venues. Early heavy rains and streets full of water made the trip even more difficult. The last 66 NYE (before they are rumoured to close later this year) was heaving with approx 6ooo people through the doors - an end of a long and famous saga perhaps, but time will tell if it does come to fruition or not. Parties rocked on till dawn including the newly renovated and larger DeeJay Club in Kuta which was also packed to the rafters by daylight. Another crazy New Year’s Eve passes leaving us all with tales to tell and another fresh year to behold, wiping the slate clean and rejoicing once more in what we have here and now. Enjoy 2011 folks.....

ave you ever felt the pangs of hunger while walking on Double Six Beach but just couldn’t be bothered putting your flip-flops back on just to get something to eat? Well, your solution is here in the form of Sandpit, a little shack restaurant offering a wide array of food and drinks often only ever found at upmarket places. Located on the beach directly across the street from Double Six club, this little shack may not look so interesting from the street, but the moment you cross over the wall onto the beach, you’ll be greeted by white wooden chairs in the sand and a rustic looking wooden shack with a bar. Chalk boards surround the bar area announcing the specials of the day. The whole look is reminiscent of those classic surfing flicks from the sixties. Don’t be fooled by the minimalistic shack style of the decor, as the variety of food and beverages offered at the Sandpit are that of any upscale restaurant, but with the option of going barefoot. One of the most popular items on Sandpits menu and a positive must try is the Club Sandwich (Rp26K) served with roasted potato wedges is a great pick me up after a swim on the beach. Another light yet delicious hunger buster is the Caramalized Pineapple Chicken (Rp37K) bathed in a sweet yet savory honey lemon sauce, served with a refreshing fresh salad on the side. If you happen to come with a larger appetite, the Chefs Menu Seafood Combo (Rp150K) is sure to fill any empty belly. Consisting of nearly every seafood item on the menu grilled to perfection, served with three spicy sambals, the freshness and flavors are very reminiscent of the golden days of Jimbaran. Something famous from the hawker stalls of Malaysia, Chili Crab (Rp50K) also finds its way to the menu but with a lighter and less spicy sauce like you would find in its place of origin. The beverages offered are various, from fresh juices and mocktails to a select number of specially created cocktails and all at very reasonable prices. The proprietors of the place strive to bring quality food at an affordable price and in my honest opinion they’ve succeeded. [Rinaldi]

ikon showed its charitable side by holding an early Christmas event to raise funds for YAPPENATIM Orphanage. Up on stage to entertain the crowd was an acoustic performance by Made J as well as DJ Alfan on the decks. The crowd may have been small that night, due to the weather, but they all had heart making their way there just for the kids.

rench Dj, producer, model, and all round cool guy, Bob Sinclar literally filled the streets with music and people at The Stones in Kuta last week. Set up in the side street within The Stones complex, Sinclar played a bunch of House, mixing catchy remixes in and out of the play list to the appreciation (hands in the air!) of the mainly Kuta tourist crowd. They loved it, we loved it, everybody loves‌. Bob Sinclar!
