Come, come and see how I am living
Come and see the pain you have let me in
Come to feel the gasp of air am taking
Come and live the moment am having
Come darling, still am waiting
Come to quench the thirst, am begging
Come to bring back the joy you once got me in
come to make me fly in the sky,
like you did to me when you were in
Come to make my day a marvel
Come to make my night a dream
Come sweetheart, come back to the one
whom you once called love
Come to him who, you said was your world
Come my love, I am waiting
Come before its too late and I am gone
Come my love, come I am waiting......

FRIENDSHIP Is…..
Friendship is not important with whom you have it…
Friendship is… how deep you have it,
Friendship is not how much you know….
Friendship is… how much you care,
Friendship is not how much you make happy…
Friendship is… how much you share sorrows,
Friendship is not how many times you reach your hand…
Friendship is… how many times you touch the heart,
Friendship is not how precious thing you give…
Friendship is… how much sensitive things you offer,
Friendship is not an achievement…
Friendship is…one beyond your destination,
Friendship is not just sharing the joy…
Friendship is… love in sharing the tears,
Long live our Friendship…..
Ever ending one… To YOU

How to Unlock Your Nokia Cell Phone
« on: February 21, 2008, 01:57:47 AM »
How to Unlock Your Nokia Cell Phone
Typically when you purchase a cell phone, the company that sold you the phone 'locked' the phone before you bought it, so you can only use it on their network. This means that you can't use your phone on any other network, even if you change the SIM (which is an abbreviation for Subscriber Identity Module) card. The SIM card is the little piece of plastic that identifies your phone to the cellular network. Changing your SIM card to have your phone work on another network is useful especially if you want to travel to another country and want to buy a pre-paid SIM card so you can have cell phone access without roaming charges. There are services that offer to provide unlocking capabilities for a fee, but don't pay for them! You can do it yourself for free, which is the perfect price.
Steps
1. Before trying anything else, contact your service provider and ask for an unlock code. Usually, if you've been a customer of theirs for some time, they will provide you with an unlock code for free. This is, by far, the best way to get your phone unlocked.
2. Download software to generate the unlocking code. Software is available on some websites for free and some pay websites that also offer support if things go wrong. See external links below.
3. Find the Serial number of the cell phone, also known as your IMEI number. This can be done by either removing the back of your cell phone and looking underneath the battery, or simply by typing in *#06# into your cell phone. It should be something like: 030057361439976/05429508118
4. Using the software you have downloaded, enter in your Manufacturer (which is in this case Nokia), your model number, and your IMEI number. Also enter your country and the Network. Calculate the code, this may be different depending on which software you are using. If your phone is the Nokia 3390 phone, select the model 3310, they are the same phone.
* #pw+403927744443466+7#
5. Remove the SIM card from your Nokia phone. This is typically done by removing the back cover of the phone and removing the battery and sliding the card out. Put the battery back in and power the phone on.
6. You will see a message "Insert SIM Card". Enter all of the characters you see in your code, including the # symbols. To get a 'p' press * 3 times, to get a '+' press the * key 2 times, to get a 'w' press the * key 4 times. Disregard any spaces in the code.
7. In order to unlock your phone you generally need to enter only one code. Start with the first one. If your phone is not unlocked by typing the first code (MCC+MNC), use code "7" (Multilock)
8. Once you have finished entering a code that works you should see a message that says "SIM is not restricted" or "Restriction off" message depending on your model. If not, try entering another code. Message "Cannot undo restrictions" means the phone is "hard-locked" and cannot be unlocked by code.
Tips
* Unlocking only applies to GSM phones, phones using other cellular technologies, cannot be unlocked without special software and hardware.
* Switch off the phone. Hold the keys "3", "*" and "Call" and switch the phone on. Keep the buttons held down till you see the word "Formatting..." on the screen. Make sure that the battery is full charged before you attempt this. This should reset the phone lock code.
Warnings
* Attempting to unlock your phone is done at your own risk. Although unlocking your phone is legal, some cell phone operators might choose to void your warranty should you unlock your phone (then again, some cell phone operators won't mind).
* Most phones only allow you to try a certain number of unlock tries, Nokia phones have a limit of 5 tries. After that, the phone becomes "hard-locked", meaning it cannot be unlocked without using special equipment.
* Most of the newer phones will not work with the codes generated by the free unlock programs.

Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming
« on: February 18, 2008, 01:32:54 AM »
Global warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late.
Here is a list of 50 simple things that everyone can do in order to fight against and reduce the Global Warming phenomenon: some of these ideas are at no cost, some other require a little effort or investment but can help you save a lot of money, in the middle-long term!
1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)
CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
2.Install a programmable thermostat
Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you $100 a year on your energy bill.
3. Move your thermostat down
2° in winter and up 2° in summer
Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has more tips for saving energy on heating and cooling.
4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner
Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
5. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases
Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most efficient models available.
6. Do not leave appliances on standby
Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.
7. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket
You’ll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. You can save another 550 pounds per year by setting the thermostat no higher than 50°C.
8. Move your fridge and freezer
Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on their own. For example, if you put them in a hot cellar room where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is almost double and causes an extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges per year and 320kg for freezers.
9. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly
Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their predecessors.
10. Don't let heat escape from your house over a long period
When airing your house, open the windows for only a few minutes. If you leave a small opening all day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during six cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in almost 1 ton of CO2 emissions.
11. Replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazing
This requires a bit of upfront investment, but will halve the energy lost through windows and pay off in the long term. If you go for the best the market has to offer (wooden-framed double-glazed units with low-emission glass and filled with argon gas), you can even save more than 70% of the energy lost.
12. Get a home energy audit
Many utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly insulated or energy inefficient. You can save up to 30% off your energy bill and 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy specialist.
13. Cover your pots while cooking
Doing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%!
14. Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are full
If you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting. There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures.
15. Take a shower instead of a bath
A shower takes up to four times less energy than a bath. To maximise the energy saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and provide the same comfort.
16. Use less hot water
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year) instead of hot.
17. Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible
You can save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6 months out of the year.
18. Insulate and weatherize your home
Properly insulating your walls and ceilings can save 25% of your home heating bill and 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Caulking and weather-stripping can save another 1,700 pounds per year. Energy Efficient has more information on how to better insulate your home.
19. Be sure you’re recycling at home
You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates.
20. Recycle your organic waste
Around 3% of the greenhouse gas emissions through the methane is released by decomposing bio-degradable waste. By recycling organic waste or composting it if you have a garden, you can help eliminate this problem! Just make sure that you compost it properly, so it decomposes with sufficient oxygen, otherwise your compost will cause methane emissions and smell foul.
21. Buy intelligently
One bottle of 1.5l requires less energy and produces less waste than three bottles of 0.5l. As well, buy recycled paper products: it takes less 70 to 90% less energy to make recycled paper and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide.
22. Choose products
that come with little packaging and buy refills when you can
You will also cut down on waste production and energy use!
23. Reuse your shopping bag
When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil.
24. Reduce waste
Most products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g. during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch boxes.
25. Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%. The Arbor Day Foundation has information on planting and provides trees you can plant with membership.
26. Switch to green power
In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar. The Green Power Network is a good place to start to figure out what’s available in your area.
27. Buy locally grown and produced foods
The average meal in the United States travels 1,200 miles from the farm to your plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community.
28. Buy fresh foods instead of frozen
Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.
29. Seek out and support local farmers markets
They reduce the amount of energy required to grow and transport the food to you by one fifth. You can find a farmer’s market in your area at the USDA website.
30. Buy organic foods as much as possible
Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we’d remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!
31. Eat less meat
Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to produce methane, which they exhale with every breath.
32. Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possible
Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year! Look for transit options in your area.
33. Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates
Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. ERideShare.com runs a free national service connecting commuters and travelers.
34. Don't leave an empty roof rack on your car
This can increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10% due to wind resistance and the extra weight - removing it is a better idea.
35. Keep your car tuned up
Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. When just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere.
36. Drive carefully and do not waste fuel
You can reduce CO2 emissions by readjusting your driving style. Choose proper gears, do not abuse the gas pedal, use the engine brake instead of the pedal brake when possible and turn off your engine when your vehicle is motionless for more than one minute. By readjusting your driving style you can save money on both fuel and car mantainance.
37. Check your tires weekly to make sure they’re properly inflated
Proper inflation can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Since every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, every increase in fuel efficiency makes a difference!
38. When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle
You can save 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year if your new car gets only 3 miles per gallon more than your current one. You can get up to 60 miles per gallon with a hybrid! You can find information on fuel efficiency on Fuel Economy and on Green Cars websites.
39. Try car sharing
Need a car but don’t want to buy one? Community car sharing organizations provide access to a car and your membership fee covers gas, maintenance and insurance. Many companies – such as Flex car - offer low emission or hybrid cars too!
40. Try telecommuting from home
Telecommuting can help you drastically reduce the number of miles you drive every week. For more information, check out the Telework Coalition.
41. Fly less
Air travel produces large amounts of emissions so reducing how much you fly by even one or two trips a year can reduce your emissions significantly. You can also offset your air travel by investing in renewable energy projects.
42. Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions
You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home by actively encouraging other to take action.
43. Join the virtual march
The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a non-political effort to bring people concerned about global warming together in one place. Add your voice to the hundreds of thousands of other people urging action on this issue.
44. Encourage the switch to renewable energy
Successfully combating global warming requires a national transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. These technologies are ready to be deployed more widely but there are regulatory barriers impeding them. Take action to break down those barriers with Vote Solar.
45. Protect and conserve forest worldwide
Forests play a critial role in global warming: they store carbon. When forests are burned or cut down, their stored carbon is release into the atmosphere - deforestation now accounts for about 20% of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Conservation International has more information on global warming and forests.
46. Consider the impact of your investments
If you invest your money, you should consider the impact that your investments and savings will have on global warming. Check out Social Invest and Ceres to can learn more about how to ensure your money is being invested in companies, products and projects that address issues related to climate change.
47. Make your city cool
Cities and states around the country have taken action to stop global warming by passing innovative transportation and energy saving legislation. 194 cities nationwide representing over 40 million people have made this pledge as part of the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Find out how to make your city a cool city.
48. Tell Congress to act
The McCain Lieberman Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act would set a firm limit on carbon dioxide emissions and then use free market incentives to lower costs, promote efficiency and spur innovation. Tell your representative to support it.
49. Make sure your voice is heard!
Americans must have a stronger commitment from their government in order to stop global warming and implement solutions and such a commitment won’t come without a dramatic increase in citizen lobbying for new laws with teeth. Get the facts about U.S. politicians and candidates at Project Vote Smart and The League of Conservation Voters. Make sure your voice is heard by voting!

Sesuai kemauan panitia, Shaggy pasti ingin gairah berpesta banyak orang terangkat. Mari berpesta di Austria-Swiss! (chrs)
Menghindari Titik Putih
Fase hidup-mati! Duel kedua perdelapanfinal Liga Champion memang bak hidup dan mati bagi pesertanya. Seberapa baik mereka menabung di partai pertama, keuntungannya bisa dipetik minggu ini--kecuali Internazionale dan Liverpool, yang baru memainkan duel pada 11 Maret.
Jalan terjal menuju Moscow, tempat final 21 Mei 2008, mulai terbentang di hadapan 16 peserta. Barcelona tergolong lebih aman karena menabung kemenangan 3-2 di kandang Celtic. Klub lain? Skor 1-1 yang dipetik Manchester United dari markas Lyon cukup baik. Begitu pula Real Madrid dengan celengan gol away setelah kalah 1-2 dari AS Roma.
Namun, siapa yang bisa menduga jalannya pertandingan? Segalanya mungkin terjadi. Berbagai faktor dapat mengikis keuntungan di laga pertama.
Hasil undian seharusnya menempatkan klub yang bertindak sebagai tamu di perjumpaan pertama punya peluang lebih besar lolos ke perempatfinal.
Sejarah bisa meunggulkan prediksi tersebut. Tahun lalu, hanya PSV Eindhoven dan AS Roma yang berhasil lolos meski menjamu lawannya lebih dahulu.
Musim 2005/06, Benfica adalah wakil tunggal perempatfinalis yang lepas dari perdelapanfinal dengan status tuan tumah pertama.
Well, bagaimana kalau Selasa dan Rabu ini Anda mencermati kiprah Schalke, Liverpool, dan Arsenal pada duel 2nd leg. Schalke dan Liverpool bisa menang di kandang dengan penampilan menjanjikan peningkatan kualitas. Sementara itu, Arsenal mengumbar keyakinan mampu menekuk AC Milan di markas lawan, walau bermain 0-0 di Emirates.
Di partai hidup-mati ini pula peran kiper dan pemain pengganti bisa sangat menonjol. Mereka yang duduk di bangku cadangan punya kesempatan menjadi pahlawan ketika timnya terimpit dan terdesak waktu.
Walau pemaknaan supersub kian terkikis kebiasaan para pelatih, peserta di perdelapanfinal punya nama-nama yang mampu menjadi pahlawan dari bangku cadangan.
Begitu pula para penjaga gawang. Ketika harus berpacu dengan waktu, peluit wasit pertanda akhir laga menempatkan mereka yang berdiri di bawah mistar sebagai dewa penyelamat.
Kalau sudah mencapai tahap ini, siapa kiper yang layak disebut jago ketika algojo-algojo maut berdiri di hadapan mereka? Peluang tetap 50-50, tak peduli sang kiper dipuji setinggi langit.
Jadi, menghindari duel di titik putih dengan memaksimalkan waktu 90 menit plus extra time bila dibutuhkan adalah keputusan tepat. Namun, tahukah Anda bahwa tak ada kiper asal Inggris yang menjadi pilihan utama keempat pelatih klub negeri Pangeran Charles itu? (Weshley Hutagalung)
Dicari: The Real Supersub!
Pada 1970-an, Liverpool memperkenalkan pada dunia seorang striker bernama David Fairclough. Predikat supersub diberikan karena meski jarang tampil sebagai starter, penyerang berbakat itu kerap mengubah keadaan melalui golnya.
Belakangan, beberapa nama kerap disebut dengan predikat Fairclough itu. Dari Ole Gunnar Solskjaer di Manchester United, striker AC Milan Filippo Inzaghi, Michael Owen semasa di Real Madrid, hingga Alessandro Del Piero di Piala Dunia 2006. Semua hanya memiliki sedikit waktu di lapangan.
Bagaimana dengan di Liga Champion? Meski dengan situasi berbeda, Rafael Benitez di Liverpool pernah menunjukkannya saat membalikan keadaan tertinggal 0-3 untuk kemudian unggul melalui adu penalti di final 2004/05.
Pemilihan Dietmar Hamman sebagai pemain yang masuk di awal babak II mengunci permainan AC Milan, yang sudah unggul 3-0. Otak serangan Milan, Kaka, punya bayang-bayang yang mengesalkan asal Jerman. Namanya Hamman. Hanya, ia bukan seorang penyerang.
Musim 2006/07, Liga Champion mencatat sebanyak 32% pergantian pemain terjadi 10 menit terakhir. Rupanya, para pelatih yang bergaji besar itu mulai ragu-ragu atas pilihannya untuk mengubah permainan dengan menarik keluar pemain utama.
Risikonya, bila sang pengganti tampil melempem, tak hanya rasa kecele yang dirasakan pelatih. Tekanan dari petinggi klub dan pendukung bisa membuat ia menjadi seorang peragu.
Pelatih peragu? Masa depan arsitek permainan yang tak berani mengambil sikap dan mudah dipengaruhi dari luar hanya cerah dalam sepakbola imajiner.
Namun, bila ia menemukan seorang supersub yang cukup bermain 10 menit terakhir untuk menjadi juru selamat, si pelatih dielu-elukan. Keputusannya akan dikenang lama dan ia digolongkan sebagai seorang tactician ulung.
Baiklah kita vonis para pelatih itu dengan keputusan pertama. Sikap ragu-ragu arsitek permainan telah memberi makna lain pada mitos supersub. Ya, pemain pengganti semakin sulit menjadi pahlawan tim akibat minimnya waktu yang diberikan di lapangan.
Adu Penalti
Ambil contoh Peter Crouch. Si jangkung ini sangat jarang mencetak gol bila tidak bermain sejak awal. Kebiasan Crouch, seperti pujian Sven-Goran Eriksson, adalah sanggup berlari sejauh 13 km setiap ia menjadi pilihan utama coach Benitez. Lalu, berapa menit yang nanti ia punya di Giuseppe Meazza pada 11 Maret?
Tambahan lagi, dalam sistem knock-out ini, pemain pengganti yang dibutuhkan juga harus bermental baik untuk duel di titik putih. Bukankah dengan kaki yang lebih segar mereka layak mengemban tugas sebagai eksekutor dalam adu penalti?
Namun, Jose Mourinho dan kubu Chelsea punya mimpi buruk tentang supersub di titik putih. Musim lalu, di semifinal, Mourinho memasukkan Arjen Robben pada menit ke-98, lalu Geremi saat perpanjangan waktu (118). Hasilnya? Dua pemain ini gagal menjalankan tugasnya sebagai algojo titik putih.
Kegagalan seperti ini yang menyebabkan munculnya asumsi di benak pelatih bahwa pemain pengganti tidak selalu menjadi jalan keluar. (Weshley Hutagalung)
