Melaksanakan, Tidak Sekadar Mengetahui dan Mengerti

“In life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action. – Dalam kehidupan ini, mayoritas manusia mengerti apa yang harus dilakukan, tetapi hanya sebagian kecil yang melaksanakan apa yang mesti mereka lakukan. Mengerti saja tak cukup! Anda harus melakukan tindakan nyata.” ~ Anthony Robbins

Kisah Si Bangau Putih

Seri : Bu Kek Siansu #14

Karya : Asmaraman S Kho Ping Hoo

Bagi mereka yang bukan pedagang keliling dan yang tidak pernah melakukan perjalanan melintasi Tembok Besar, tentu mengira bahwa kekuasaan Kerajaan Ceng yang dipegang oleh bang­sa Mancu tentu berhenti sampai di Tem­bok Besar itu. Padahal, sesungguhnya tidaklah demikian. Bangsa Mancu sendiri merupakan bangsa yang tinggal jauh di utara yang amat dingin, daerah yang keras dan kejam, dan di luar Tembok Besar masih terdapat daerah yang amat luas. Masih ada Propinsi Liaoning dan Jilin yang berbatasan dengan Korea, daerah Mancuria sendiri yang luas, ke­mudian terdapat daerah Mongolia Dalam atau Mongol, dan daerah Mongolia yang lebih luas. Akan tetapi, setelah melewati Tembok Besar memang daerah yang liar dan kejam, dengan tak terhitung banyak­nya bukit di antara padang pasir yang luas dan merupakan lautan pasir yang ganas.

Padang pasir seperti ini memang ga­nas dan kadang-kadang kejam sekali. Dari tulang-tulang kuda, onta, bahkan manusia yang terdapat berserakan di s

Jilbab dari Sahabatku

Namaku Syifa Zahfania, kebanyakan teman-temanku memanggil dengan Syifa. Di kelas aku di kenal cewek paling tomboy. Karena cara bertingkahku yang seperti cowok, dan bergaulku yang tak lepas dari cowok. Aku termasuk cewek per*kok mulai dari kelas 3 SMP. Jauh dari orangtua membuatku semakin menjadi anak yang tak berperilaku. Aku hanya hidup dengan kemewahan dari orangtua dan kedua pembantuku. Setiap hari yang aku pergi pagi pulang petang dan berkumpul dengan para gerombolan preman di jalan. Aku sangat menyukai kebebasan dan tak suka di kekang. Masa bodoh semua orang mau berkata apa tentang kehidupanku. Kehidupan mereka belum tentu benar.

Sekarang aku sudah menginjak dewasa dan mulai masuk perguruan tinggi. Di kampus tak ada yang layak untuk aku jadikan teman, semua sok sibuk dengan tugas-tugas kampus. Aku memilih untuk menyendiri di bangku pojok. Kunikmati sebatang r*kok untuk menghilangkan penat di fikiran. Melihat banyak mahasiswa yang berjalan di koridor membuatku semakin suntuk. Ku langkahkan kaki untuk beranjak keluar dari kampus. Setiap sudut ku lihat banyak sekali mahasiswa yang berkeliaran tak karuan.

Bruukkk…
beberapa buku jatuh dari gengaman cewek berjilbab panjang yang menutupi dadanya. Cewek berkerudung pink mudah dengan mengenakan baju panjang tak taulah apa itu namanya. Beberapa detik ku lihat parasnya sangat indah dengan balutan jilbab yang dikenakan.

Sakit Gigi dan Sakit Hati

Oleh: Ongky Hojanto

Setiap kita pasti pernah mengalami kedua hal di atas, yang tentunya respon dari setiap kita akan berbeda terhadap dua hal tersebut. Sakit gigi adalah sakit secara fisik yang dapat menyebabkan pikiran kita terganggu. Saya yakin Anda tidakakan bisa bekerja secara optimal disaat sakit gigi sedang dating menghampiri Anda.

Meja Kayu

Suatu ketika, ada seorang kakek yang harus tinggal dengan anaknya. Selain itu, tinggal pula menantu, dan anak mereka yang berusia 6 tahun. Tangan orangtua ini begitu rapuh, dan sering bergerak tak menentu. Penglihatannya buram, dan cara berjalannya pun ringkih.

Keluarga itu biasa makan bersama diruang makan. Namun, sang orangtua yang pikun ini sering mengacaukan segalanya. Tangannya yang bergetar dan mata yang rabun, membuatnya susah untuk menyantap makanan. Sendok dan garpu kerap jatuh ke bawah. Saat si kakek meraih gelas, segera saja susu itu tumpah membasahi taplak.

Anak dan menantunya pun menjadi gusar. Mereka merasa direpotkan dengan semua ini. "Kita harus lakukan sesuatu," ujar sang suami. "Aku sudah bosan membereskan semuanya untuk pak tua ini." Lalu, kedua suami-istri ini pun membuatkan sebuah meja kecil di sudut ruangan.

Disana, sang kakek akan duduk untuk makan sendirian, saat semuanya menyantap makanan. Karena sering memecahkan piring, keduanya juga memberikan mangkuk kayu untuk si kakek. Sering, saat keluarga itu sibuk dengan makan malam mereka, terdengar isak sedih dari sudut ruangan. Ada airmata yang tampak mengalir dari gurat keriput si kakek. Namun, kata yang keluar dari suami-istri ini selalu omelan agar ia tak menjatuhkan makanan l

How To Use Your Television as a Laptop Monitor

You may have once seen a seemingly tech-savvy friend hook a laptop up to their television in order to share digital pictures. Most likely, you were impressed and thought it would require a good deal of technology. Not so! Read on to learn how to quickly and easily link your laptop and television.

The benefits of connecting your laptop and television are immense. When company is over, you can share pictures of your latest vacation without making every hunch of your small laptop screen - just hook it up to the big screen, sit back, and enjoy! You can also use this setup to enjoy the flexibility of more screen space. Working on a document that requires a full screen but doesn't need your full attention? Play a DVD or YouTube video on the television, while remaining on your laptop to do your work. The possibilities are endless!

1. You'll need a few basic components in order to set up the connection. First, check your laptop for an S-video out jack. (The symbol next to this jack will be a rectangular box with an S and an arrow coming out of it). An S-video cord can be purchased for $20-$50 (depending on length and quality) online or at any big box electronics retailer (e.g. Best Buy or Circuit City). Be sure to purchase a long enough cord, as there's nothing worse than hooking up your laptop and realizing that you have to stay right next to the television with it!

2. Physically hooking this up is very easy - just plug one end of the S-video into your laptop, and the other into your television. However, the software setup can be a bit confusing. Once the cord is plugged in, turn on your television and switch the input to be from the S-video slot (normally accomplished by pressing either the "input" or "TV/Video" buttons on your remote). Your laptop may automatically detect the television and pop a screen to give you the choice begin broadcasting, but not always. If it doesn't identify the extra screen, open the Windows Mobility Center (found in the quick start menu on your Windows Vista taskbar) and select connect display.

3. Once your television is identified, you have the option to duplicate your laptop's monitor on both screens (useful for presentations with a wired mouse), extend your laptop's monitor onto the new screen so that you have double the screen space (useful when you want to watch a video while simultaneously working on your laptop), or view content only on the television screen (useful for presentations with a wireless mouse). Select the appropriate option, and select the resolution that matches your television.

4. If you want to connect the sound to your computer, all it takes is one additional component that only costs a few dollars ($5-$10). Called an RCA cable, one side will have just one plug that goes into your headphone jack, while the other side splits into two plugs that will go into the left and right audio jacks on your television. There is no setup needed for this connection - just plug in and enjoy!

How To Choose a Laptop

Buying and using a laptop

can be a liberating experience. You will have the ability to take your work wherever you go, take your computer

to class, a coffee shop, on a trip - anywhere. You may end up spending a bit more for a laptop than you would for a desktop - after all, the individual components need to be smaller to fit in a laptop chassis - but the convenience is worth the extra cost.

1. Decide what screen size you need. If you are used to a larger-sized desktop monitor, you'll want to choose a laptop that has a larger screen. A 15" screen is usually standard, but there are 17" screens available, which may be worth the extra investment. Dell even offers 19" and 20" screens on certain models. If you need or want a large screen, you may want to consider this, especially if you are choosing a laptop as a desktop replacement. Also, consider if you want a wide screen monitor or a standard monitor. A wide screen monitor is good if you would like to watch movies on your laptop, or if you frequently need to have two applications open side by side.

2. Decide what kind of networking features you want. One of the most popular current features of laptops is wireless Internet access. With wireless access, you can get on the Internet wherever there is a "hotspot" - an area that the public is allowed to use an Internet signal, whether it's for a fee or free. You can also set up a home network and access the Internet anywhere in your house. Most laptops have slots for network cards, but if you want built-in network access, then make sure your laptop has a built-in network card. It's a nice feature if wireless Internet access appeals to you.

3. Determine your battery needs. You'll want to look for a laptop with a battery that lasts a long time if you will be taking your laptop on the road (or on the patio with no electrical outlet). Starting up your laptop is a big drain on a battery, and you may not get much time - perhaps only an hour or two - on a standard battery. So if you will be using your laptop away from a power source a lot, make sure that your laptop features a long battery life.

4. Look into the warranty and service plan. Computer companies and resellers have varying warranties and service plans for laptops. Some companies have you send your laptop back if anything goes wrong, some want you to take it to a service depot (which may be inconveniently located up to 50 miles away), and others will come to your home or business and repair it on the spot. Also, make sure that you can afford to wait the length of time promised for service; Dell has a great next business day plan, whereas some others take weeks to get issues resolved. If your business, school or other activities can't wait an indeterminate amount of time for resolution, make sure to get a next-day (or two day) service plan. Be sure to also check what both the warranty and the service plan cover; some cover very little, while others cover hardware and sometimes software as well. Certain warranties and service plans are voided if you spill on or drop your laptop (even accidentally), while others fully cover anything that could go wrong for any reason. Some companies offer secondary service plans if you have a drop or spill. Count on one of the two happening at some point, so consider this secondary policy if it is offered. Also check your homeowner's or renter's insurance; it may cover accidental spills and drops, so you may not need to purchase an extra service plan for that.

You may already have a favorite brand of desktop computer - it's likely that if you like a particular desktop, the same brand will produce a laptop you like. Just like a desktop, those little upgrades that seem expensive when you are buying a laptop

are worth it. Whether you are looking for a laptop as your main computer or as a secondary computer for work or school, you'll love the ease and portability of a laptop. Have fun with your new computer! 

How To Block Your Cell Phone Number

There might be many reasons why you want to block your cell phone number from showing up on other people's caller IDs. Whatever the reason is, it's very simple to block your cell phone number. You have two options: you can permanently block your phone number or you can block your number on a call by call basis.

If you're trying to figure out who's calling you from an unlisted cell phone, check out Reverse Phone Detective. 

Blocking Your Cell Phone Number Permanently:

The most permanent solution is to request a "line block" from your cell phone carrier.

1. To do this you simply need to call the customer service for your specific provider and they can block your number. When you do this your number will never show up to anyone.

2. To call your customer service to block your cell phone number, just dial 611 from your cell phone and you will reach them.

3. If there is a situation where you want your number to show up, you will still have an option. When you have a permanent block on your cell phone number you will need to dial *82 before dialing the number you are calling. When you do this your phone number will show up just once for that specific call. Ex: *82 (555) 555-5555.

Did you know that you or anybody else can look up unknown cell phone numbers online? Here are two top sites for looking up cell phone numbers:

· PhoneNumberScan.com

· National Registry of Cellular Numbers (NRCN)

Blocking Your Cell Phone Number Temporarily:

Sometimes you may want to block you number for a specific call. You might not want someone to know that you are trying to reach them for the 15th time in a row, or you might be calling a business and might not want them to know your number.

1. If you want to block your cell phone number on a call by call basis you need to dial *67 before dialing the number. Ex *67 (555) 555-5555.

2. When you do this you will not have any feedback that it worked. If you want to test this, just call your home phone, or anther phone that has a caller ID from your cell to confirm that your phone number is blocked.

One important thing to remember is that your number will not be blocked from emergency services or any toll free numbers.

How To Buy Digital Cameras

 

It seems that just about everybody has a digital camera these days. They can be found on computers, in cell phones, and even on keychains (not to mention the cameras that actually look like real cameras). With all of the advances that have been made in digital camera technology in recent years, it's no surprise that there are a number of different options facing the consumer.
The problem with having so many digital camera options is that unless you know what you're seeking, you might not be able to get the best camera for your money. In order to find the camera that's right for both you and your wallet, it's important to keep a few things in mind when you go shopping.

1. Know how much you're willing to spend on a camera before you go shopping. Some digital cameras can cost over $500 or $600, while others may top $1,000. Cameras with fewer features and a lower resolution can also be found for under $20 or $30. Stay within your budget.

2. See what sort of camera memory access your computer has. Digital cameras use a variety of different types of media for storage, ranging from USB-accessible onboard memory to miniature CD-R or 3.5" floppy disks. Specialized flash memory cards are also commonly used, but may require an adapter or card reader if your computer isn't set up to use them.

3. Look for the megapixel rating for any camera that you're considering buying. This refers to the fineness of individual pixels that make up the image, and to the number of pixels contained within the image. The higher the megapixel rating, the better the quality of the photograph will be. Lower-megapixel cameras tend to produce pictures that are much more grainy and have lower resolutions.

4. Consider the size and shape of the camera as well as how you're going to be using it. If you simply want something to take with you when you go on trips, you'll want a camera that can be easily packed and transported. If you're looking for a more professional camera, then you're going to want something that can be held steady and has attachments and other options available for it. Let form follow function.

5. Keep in mind anything else that you want to be able to do with your camera. Cell phones with digital cameras built in can serve as a portable camera in addition to their normal functions, and certain other cameras can be used to create full-motion video, often with sound! Make sure that the camera you buy meets as many of your needs as possible.
