translete lirik lagu so far away

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed a broken heart with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay ?
Will you stay away forever ?

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we’re so invincible
The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away

Sleep tight, I’m not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
Cause as soon as I’m done I’ll be on my way
To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love ?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it’s so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you’re so far away

I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough despite
But I’ll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to
Need you to know

Lirik lagu Begitu Jauh - Avenged Sevenfold

Jangan pernah takut untuk apa-apa
Jangan malu tetapi tidak pernah bebas
Sebuah kehidupan yang menyembuhkan patah hati dengan semua yang bisa

Hidup begitu tanpa henti
Melihat melebihi apa yang orang lain lihat
Aku mencoba untuk menyembuhkan patah hati Anda dengan semua yang aku bisa

Apakah Anda tinggal?
Apakah Anda tinggal pergi selamanya?

Bagaimana cara hidup tanpa yang saya cinta?
Waktu masih mengubah halaman-halaman buku yang dibakar
Tempat dan waktu selalu di pikiran saya
Saya memiliki begitu banyak bicara tapi kau begitu jauh

Rencana dari apa masa depan kita terus
Kebohongan bodoh semakin tua
Sepertinya kami begitu terkalahkan
kebenaran itu begitu dingin

Sebuah lagu terakhir, permintaan terakhir
Sebuah bab yang sempurna dikuburkan
Sekarang dan kemudian saya mencoba untuk menemukan tempat di pikiran saya

Di mana Anda bisa tinggal
Anda dapat tetap terjaga selamanya

Bagaimana cara hidup tanpa yang saya cinta?
Waktu masih mengubah halaman-halaman buku yang dibakar
Tempat dan waktu selalu di pikiran saya
Saya memiliki begitu banyak bicara tapi kau begitu jauh

Tidur yang nyenyak, aku tidak takut
Orang-orang yang kita cintai ada di sini bersamaku
Lay pergi tempat untuk saya
Penyebab begitu aku sudah selesai aku akan segera berangkat
Untuk hidup kekal

Bagaimana cara hidup tanpa yang saya cinta?
Waktu masih mengubah halaman-halaman buku yang dibakar
Tempat dan waktu selalu di pikiran saya
Dan cahaya yang Anda kiri tetap tetapi begitu sulit untuk tetap
Ketika saya memiliki begitu banyak bicara dan kau begitu jauh

Aku mencintaimu
Anda siap
Rasa sakit cukup kuat meskipun
Tapi aku akan melihat Anda
Ketika Dia membuat saya
sakit Anda sudah hilang, tangan terikat

Jadi jauh
Dan aku ingin kau tahu
Jadi jauh
Dan aku ingin kau
Perlu Anda tahu

the winning team of fc barcelona 2010/2011

new design costume 2011/2012 fc barcelona

applause for the Pep Guardiola

There’s no Champions without the League. The four trophies won by Barça have always been accompanied by the League Title in the same season. Barça are already the team who have won more doubles in Europe.

After being proclaimed League Champions, FC Barcelona conquered Europe in London, a feat that Barça have repeated four times. The European Cup at Wembley in 1992, and the Champions League in Paris 2006, Rome 2009, and New Wembley in 2011, all entered the club museum at the same time as the League Trophy. 

A historic year 
2009 deserves special mention. In Guardiola's first year in charge of the first team, Barça finished the season with a historic treble. The first trophy was a the Spanish Cup against Athletic Bilbao (4-1), then the League, and finally the Champions League against Manchester United (2-0). 

Closest rivals 
Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Ajax are, with three double triumphs, the teams that come closest to Barca’s record. Only FC Barcelona done it every time, as the rest of these teams have won more Champions than the famous double. 

Super Cup, League, and Champions League for the third time 
The 2010/11 season has ended with a new treble. In August Barça won the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla, and in May came the League Title, followed by the Champions League. In 2006, the team then managed by Frank Rijkaard also began the season winning the Super Cup, then the League, and closed the season by taking the Champions League Title. The Dream Team was the first Barça team to achieve this, in 1992.

Earthquake Prediction Is this the Right way?

    Earthquake Prediction Is this the Right way?
INILAH.COM, Jakarta - An earthquake is an unpredictable disaster that anyone or any instrument. But the scientists found it shocking that might be a predictive tool. What is it?
The atmosphere above the epicenter of Japan and then heated up significantly a few days before the disaster broke.
Before the disaster (11 / 3), total electron content of the atmosphere called the ionosphere increased dramatically just above the epicenter of the earthquake and reached a maximum level of three days before the quake struck.
It is believed, moments before the quake, the pressure on geological plates in the Earth's crust cause large amounts of radon gas out. This radioactive gas that ionizes the air. Then, this gas makes the water molecules in the air condenses into water.
Excessive heat in the form of infrared radiation is recorded takes three days before an earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter Scale (SR) rupture.
"The first results on March 8, satellite, infrared radiation emanating quickly," said Dimitar Ouzounov scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, United States (U.S.).
Considering Japan is a 'hot spot' quake, scientists create the atmosphere and supervisory stations using satellites to measure the state of the atmosphere before earthquakes. Hopefully these findings can be used to predict earthquakes. [Mor]

Facebook "Sang Rival Abadi" Akhirnya Dipermalukan Google

Dari pembahasan sebelumnya yang saya posting dahulu Google Defeated Facebook. Kini Facebook Hacker Cup yang sudah dimulai dari 20 Desember 2010 hingga 11 Januari 2011 lalu secara online, kini sudah melewati finalnya sejak 11 Maret 2011 lalu. Pemenang Facebook Hacker Cup sendiri tidak disangka-sangka diraih oleh fans berat dari perusahaan Google (atau yang biasa disebut Googler). Dan ketika sang pemenang tersebut mengangkat piala di hari Sabtu (12/03) kemarin di markas Facebook, di Palo Alto, laki-laki itu sedang menggunakan badge ID Google.

Dengan melihat bahwa yang menjadi pemenang adalah rival terbesarnya, menurut salah satu Googler, Facebook pasti merasa dipermalukan. Mungkin yang lebih memalukan lagi adalah menerima fakta bahwa Petr mengenakan badge ID Google ketika berpose di depan camera dengan tangan mengangkat piala, tambahnya, seperti yang dikutip dari reddit.

Facebook Hacker Cup merupakan contest coding yang didukung oleh TopCoder. Sebanyak 25 finalis harus membuat coding selama 2 jam, termasuk coder algoritma perusahaan algoritma terumit di dunia, yang ditempati oleh Top Coder. Satu-satunya finalis yang bisa menyelesaikan masalah tersebut adalah Petr Mitrichev, orang Rusia yang menempati peringkat satu di TopCoder.

Singkatnya, kompetisi coding ini digunakan untuk merekrut pegawai. Menurut pengembang Facebook, David Alves, jika ada di antara 25 kontestan yang tertarik bekerja di Facebook, dapat melamar kerja di sana. Untuk Petr Mitrichev, semuanya ada ‘peperangan’ gaji, dan mungkin Facebook juga tidak senang melihat nama Google dalam kontesnya itu.Ini mungkin postingan yang sedikit kaladaluarsa tetapi masih menjadi berita hangat di Dunia Maya.beritanet

Personal Quotes

"Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be."

"I'd like to be a little more hard-rocking on my next album. But I hate the whole label thing."

People ask me if I regret wasting my last teen years on becoming a singer. You know something? I don't. Because singing is my life. When and if you want something so badly you'll see. I mean, I'm just so blessed to be doing what I love to do and to have been given this opportunity. I thank God because there are so many more talented people out there that will never even come close to getting a record deal.

"To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood."

"My mom wouldn't let me sing 'Strawberry Wine' because it had 'wine' in it."

"When I was 2 my mom said she knew I was going to be a singer. I've been performing ever since I was a young kid. So I've known I wanted to do this for awhile. I always knew in my heart that I'd be singing."

"I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think."

I can write a song a day.

"My dream was always to hop up on stage in front of my fans every night and perform."

"Actually, I know for a fact there are some young female artists who don't even sing on their own records and who don't sing live. And that is pathetic." (about lipsynching)

 Dani Pedrosa-125ccm biography

As many other famous Motorcycle racers, Dani Pedrosa enjoyed in bikes from early age. Pedrosa got his first morcycle at age of four, and first pocket bike at age of six, riding it for fun with his friends. Daniel (his real name) started racing on minibikes at age of 11, when he entered Spanish Minibike Championship. Dani Pedrosa finished his first season in Spanish minibikes in second position, scoring his first podium finish in his second race of the season. That was the turn-point in his career, when he decided to take racing for serious, and entered same championship in next year, hawing high hopes. However, health problems stopped Pedrosa to win championship in 1997, and he had to settle with 3rd position in championship.

However, motorcycle racing is very expensive sport, and despite his great talent, Dani Pedrosa was on the edge to leave motorcycle racing and move to mountain bikes. At the last moment, he heard about Movistar Activa Cup and decided to give it a try. In a week, Dani learned to ride bikes with gearbox and passed the trials. In his first year, Dani Pedrosa finished in respectable 8th place. Alberto Puig, his current mentor, immediatelly spotted his immense talent and picked him for team. Pedrosa took part of the Spanish Chanmpionship as part of Movistar Junior Team, and finished season in 4th place. Despite finishing behind both of his team-mates in 2000, Pedrosa managed to take 4 pole positions and again he got attention of team-manager, Alberto Puig, who decided that Pedrosa is real man for 125ccm World Championship.
Year 2001 was entry point to world class motorcycle racing for 16 year old Spaniard. In his first year in 125ccm World Championship, Pedrosa twice finished on podium, both times in 3rd place (Spain and Japan). In same year, Dani Pedrosa did not scored in 5 races, and he ended debut season in 8th place with 100 points.
Year 2002 was time for Dani Pedrosa to show more of his potential. In his second 125ccm world championship season, Pedrosa finished championship in third place, fighting for the title with Vincent and Pogiali. In this season, Pedrosa scored 243 points, 30 points less from championship winner, Arnaud Vincent. 2002. was also the year when Pedrosa scored his first victories (Nederlands, Japan and Spain), and finished on podium 9 times. He also took 6 pole positions in 2002. Year 2003 was third and last season for Dani Pedrosa in 125ccm World Championship. In this season, Pedrosa finally won title with 223 points, and did it in style, with two races remaining in championship. As we have seen only one week later, those two weeks were reserve that he needed, as he had terrific crash during practice in Australia, where he broke both his ankles and ended his season. In this year Pedrosa had 5 victories and 6 podium finishes.

Dani Pedrosa-250ccm biography

Dani Pedrosa switched to 250ccm world championship in 2004. Despite slow recovery from injuries he sustained in 2003 in Australia and no proper testing time in of-season, Pedrosa scored victory in first race of the season in South Africa. What was aimed to be season of adaptation to new class soon became total domination of Dani Pedrosa: he won championship with total 317 points, scoring 7 victories and 13 podium finishes. He did not finished only one race, in Spain, and twice finished just outside the podium, in fourth. This year was one when everybody became aware of potential of Dani Pedrosa, and despite offers to move to MotoGP class, Pedrosa decided to stay one more season in 250's.
Despite being main favourite for the title in 2005, this season proved to be hard for young Spanish rider, as he sustained shoulder injuries in Japan, that bothered him until the end of the season. Anyway, Pedrosa once again scored title with two races remaining, once again in Australia. In 2005, Pedrosa scored 309 points, with 8 victories, 3 second places, 3 fourth places, and one race he did not finished.

Dani Pedrosa-MotoGP biography

Fantastic racing talent of Dani Pedrosa caused earthquakes in a year of his move to top class of World Championship, MotoGP. Being protege of Alberto Puig and Telefonica from beggining of his racing career, everyone expected Dani Pedrosa to enter MotoGP class with Telefonica Movistar Honda, but Honda had different plans for young Spanish rider - they wanted him to became factory Honda rider. In order to achieve their goal, Repsol Honda signed Pedrosa before the end of 2005 season, directly causing one of largest sponsors, Telefonica, to retrieve from MotoGP championship. Deal was done and in 2006 Dani Pedrosa became Repsol Honda rider, replacing Max Biaggi.
Once again, Dani Pedrosa execeeded expectations in his debut season, by scoring second place on his debut aboard factory Honda RC211V. In a strange 2006 season, in which class favourite, Valentino Rossi, had lot of problems and bad luck, we did not have to wait too long for Dani Pedrosa to get on the highest podium step - he did that in 4th race of the season, in China, where he also scored maiden pole position.

History and Ethnic Relations Indonesia

Emergence of the Nation. Though the Republic of Indonesia is only fifty years old, Indonesian societies have a long history during which local and wider cultures were formed.
About 200 C.E. , small states that were deeply influenced by Indian civilization began to develop in Southeast Asia, primarily at estuaries of major rivers. The next five hundred to one thousand years saw great states arise with magnificent architecture. Hinduism and Buddhism, writing systems, notions of divine kingship, and legal systems from India were adapted to local scenes. Sanskrit terms entered many of the languages of Indonesia. Hinduism influenced cultures throughout Southeast Asia, but only one people are Hindu, the Balinese.
Indianized states declined about 1400 C.E. with the arrival of Muslim traders and teachers from India, Yemen, and Persia, and then Europeans from Portugal, Spain, Holland, and Britain. All came to join the great trade with India and China. Over the next two centuries local princedoms traded, allied, and fought with Europeans, and the Dutch East India Company became a small state engaging in local battles and alliances to secure trade. The Dutch East India Company was powerful until 1799 when the company went bankrupt. In the nineteenth century the Dutch formed the Netherlands Indies government, which developed alliances with rulers in the archipelago. Only at the beginning of the twentieth century did the Netherlands Indies government extend its authority by military means to all of present Indonesia.
Sporadic nineteenth century revolts against Dutch practices occurred mainly in Java, but it was in the early twentieth century that Indonesian intellectual and religious leaders began to seek national independence. In 1942 the Japanese occupied the Indies, defeating the colonial army and imprisoning the Dutch under harsh conditions.
On 17 August 1945, following Japan's defeat in World War II, Indonesian nationalists led by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta declared Indonesian independence. The Dutch did not accept and for five years fought the new republic, mainly in Java. Indonesian independence was established in 1950.
National Identity. Indonesia's size and ethnic diversity has made national identity problematic and debated. Identity is defined at many levels: by Indonesian citizenship; by recognition of the flag, national anthem, and certain other songs; by recognition of national holidays; and by education about Indonesia's history and the Five Principles on which the nation is based. Much of this is instilled through the schools and the media, both of which have been closely regulated by the government during most of the years of independence. The nation's history has been focused upon resistance to colonialism and communism by national heroes and leaders who are enshrined in street names. Glories of past civilizations are recognized, though archaeological remains are mainly of Javanese principalities.
Ethnic Relations. Ethnic relations in the archipelago have long been a concern. Indonesian leaders recognized the possibility of ethnic and regional separatism from the beginning of the republic. War was waged by the central government against separatism in Aceh, other parts of Sumatra, and Sulawesi in the 1950s and early 1960s, and the nation was held together by military force.
The relationships between native Indonesians and overseas Chinese have been greatly influenced by Dutch and Indonesian government policies. The Chinese number about four to six million, or 3 percent of the population, but are said to control as much as 60 percent of the nation's wealth. The Chinese traded and resided in the islands for centuries, but in the nineteenth century the Dutch brought in many more of them to work on plantations or in mines. The Dutch also established a social, economic, and legal stratification system that separated Europeans, foreign Asiatics and Indo-Europeans, and Native Indonesians, partly to protect native Indonesians so that their land could not be lost to outsiders. The Chinese had little incentive to assimilate to local societies, which in turn had no interest in accepting them.
Even naturalized Chinese citizens faced restrictive regulations, despite cozy business relationships between Chinese leaders and Indonesian officers and bureaucrats. Periodic violence directed toward Chinese persons and property also occurred. In the colonial social system, mixed marriages between Chinese men and indigenous women produced half-castes ( peranakan ), who had their own organizations, dress, and art forms, and even newspapers. The same was true for people of mixed Indonesian-European descent (called Indos, for short).
Ethnolinguistic groups reside mainly in defined areas where most people share much of the same culture and language, especially in rural areas. Exceptions are found along borders between groups, in places where other groups have moved in voluntarily or as part of transmigration programs, and in cities. Such areas are few in Java, for example, but more common in parts of Sumatra.
Religious and ethnic differences may be related. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population of any country in the world, and many ethnic groups are exclusively Muslim. Dutch policy allowed proselytization by Protestants and Catholics among separate groups who followed traditional religions; thus today many ethnic groups are exclusively Protestant or Roman Catholic. They are heavily represented among upriver or upland peoples in North Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, and the eastern Lesser Sundas, though many Christians are also found in Java and among the Chinese. Tensions arise when groups of one religion migrate to a place with a different established religion. Political and economic power becomes linked to both ethnicity and religion as groups favor their own kinsmen and ethnic mates for jobs and other benefits.
