asiiiiieeeekkkknyyyaaaa.......

It has come to our attention tonight that embed codes for graphics from PROFILE-GRAPHICS.NET is WRECKING guestbooks.  Please pass the word around to all your contacts, friends, etc and post a blog about it NOT to embed graphics from that place here on Multiply.

When they are used, they cause the Guestbook to suddenly get a banner across the title area advertising their site,  and no one can type into your guestbook.  It causes them only to be taken to that site when you or they try to.

I do not know what kind of damage it will do in a reply to a posting somewhere else, but they clearly do NOT play nice!!  Delete any replies with graphics you may currently have on your site from there.  These graphics could possibly end up plastering that banner all over your site.

If you DO have this situation,  the ONLY way to fix it is to "view all", bottom of your guestbook and remove ALL comments that have any graphics embedded from PROFILE-GRAPHICS.NET.

At this time, this is the only place I've seen graphics from another place do this, but there may be more.  This is the only one I've run across so far though in all my time here.  Remember, third party embed codes can contain hidden content and adverts.

PLEASE feel free to copy/paste this blog warning to your site or group blog area also! 

El Día de la Acción del Blog
(Blog Action Day)

On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind. In 2007 the issue is the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.

We’re looking for bloggers of all nationalities and backgrounds, writing about all topics to join in. Here’s what you have to do:

Publish on October 15th
Publish a post on their blog which relates to an issue of their own choice pertaining to the environment.

For example: A blog about money might write about how to save around the home by using environmentally friendly ideas. Similarly a blog about politics might examine what weight environmental policy holds in the political arena.

Posts do not need to have any specific agenda, they simply need to relate to the larger issue in whatever way suits the blogger and readership. Our aim is not to promote one particular viewpoint, only to push the issue on the table for discussion. So write in whatever way suits your readers and your blog, just relate it back to the environment and make sure it goes up on October 15th.

Other things you can do
You can also participate in Blog Action Day by posting a banner on your site (http://blogactionday.org/promote) or by donating your day’s blog earnings to an environmental charity of your choice.

Register your blog

Theres a boy with a little black dog

Theres a boy with a little black dog

And he looks at his watch for a while

And the falling years wash away his make up

And the falling years wash away his make up

Just like rain on the fading snow

He's a lonesome streetside romeo

You can see him from your window tonite

This worlds a devided place, you know

He's awaiting you

Were all lonesome streetside romeos

You can see us from your window tonite

We all change our points of view sometimes

We're awaiting you

All the boys are locked in a fortress

All the girls are locked in a fortress

Just because it's a crime it could be, it could be

Flesh and blood in iron and steel

Flesh and blood in iron and steel

Just because it's a crime it could be, it could be

We're all lonesome...

here to hear

All I want is you, dont you know that

Forever loving you, dont you know that its true

Im leaving you tonight but dont listen if they say

That well never meet again in the land of make believe

We cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells

They put on us, my love

Were far out of their reach, a million years ahead

They never understand the mysteries of love

Heres the mysteries of love

Give your body to the mysteries

Tear down your uniforms

Heres the mysteries of love

All I want to be, dont you know it

All we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea

We kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile

cross the iron borderline that butterflies despise

We cannot lose at all

Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love

Forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead

Theyll never understand

The mysteries of love

here to hear

ae' Manna

Sedikit informasi tentang ae' (air/sungai) Manna... berhubung udah lama, jadi beberapa nama tempat udah lupa.. sorry, guys.. lagian GPS gw yg isinya banyak bgt ilang huuuhuuuuuu..
Survey pertama bulan April '03 (Inge=Srikandi rafting versi majalah Matra hehehe - Jack - Dompie - Erwin Gumay + tim Lahat/Mabidar) saat masih musim hujan, kondisi air "bagus" (baca: besarrrrgggghhhh...)
Survey kedua bulan September '03 (tim survey awal plus tim Rakata/Swatala + Mapaptri + tim Lahat/Mabidar), kondisi musim kemarau, Tinggi Muka Air/TMA di bawah normal (turun 100cm dibandingkan survey pertama, TMA di cek di meteran air PLN dkt Lubuk Semabang/Semabang Rapid)..

Saat di lokasi, kita membagi jalur sungai menjadi 4 bagian ( Upper, Tanjung Sakti, Middle, Lower..
Legenda:

• ??     =lupa nama tempatnya hehehe..
• SP     =Start Point
• RP     =Rest Point
• FP     =Finish Point
• JT     =Jarak Tempuh

Upper : Dam - Tanjung Sakti
SP : Dam..
FP : Jembatan Gantung (pertemuan sungai)
jarak tempuh : 1,5 jam (santai)

posisi Dam ?? sekitar 10 mnt dari tanjung sakti ke arah Pagar Alam.. tinggi air rata2 se-dengkul.. jalur awal selebar 5m, mendekati tanjung sakti sekitar 15m (100m ke hulu ada anak sungai tapi cukup lebar dan berarus deras)
dari dam trip bergantung pada musim krn survey ke-2 kita tidak bisa lewat.. kondisi batunya di atas normal hahaha.. bukan airnya hihihi..
saat musim hujan, walau kondisi dangkal tapi cukup excited krn gradien cukup tinggi ditambah jalur sempit.. kadang hanya muat 1 boat.. beberapa tempat banyak dahan pohon menghalangi jalur..
emergency exit route mudah karena masih dekat dgn perkampungan & jalan raya

Tanjung Sakti: Tj. Sakti - ae' Simpur
SP : Jembatan Gantung
FP : ae' Simpur
jarak tempuh : 2,5 jam (santai, full scouting)

saat musim hujan, direkomendasikan untuk mempersiapkan segala hal dengan baik untuk memasuki jalur ini.. boat, PPE, rescue system, etc..
di jalur ini kita akan memasuki sungai yg diapit bukit2, beberapa tempat malah tebing vertikal atau bukit yg curam.. dari peta topo yg kita bawa, jalur sungai menghilang tertelan jalur kontur perbukitan dan jalan raya menjauh hingga pertemuan ae' Simpur..
untuk first descent, dianjurkan untuk scouting terus karena ada bagian belokan sungai yg tidak terlihat dari jauh sehingga saat diarungi kita bisa masuk ke eddies yg besar (Lubuk=lokal).. ada bagian sungai yg berjeram besar tapi kurang lahan untuk scouting..
beberapa jeram sangat dekat jaraknya (continous rapid) ditambah beberapa patahan sungai.. (di salah satu jeram  malah boat sempat miring dan menumpahkan 3 org pendayung nya padahal di depan masih ada jeram panjang menanti..)
kondisi jeram saat musim hujan rata2 grade 3+ - 4...
Finish Point adalah sandy beach dekat jembatan ae' Simpur dan jalan raya (seneng bgt liat jalan raya setelah 2,5 jam harap2 cemas di tengah hutan belantara dan kondisi agak gelap karena mendung & menjelang sore hmmmmmm it's spooky....)
emergency exit route sangat sulit karena sungai berada di tengah perbukitan yg curam dan jauh dari jalan raya

Midle Part: ae' Simpur - Pulau Timun
SP : ae' Simpur
FP : desa Pulau Timun
jarak tempuh : 2,5 jam (santai, full scouting)

Di bagian ini, sungai yg diarungi masih mempunyai beberapa jeram besar, salah satu nya adalah jeram Lubuk Semabang (lokal=??).. bentuknya adalah patahan dan susunan batu membentuk dam selebar sungai (12m) dengan tinggi sekitar 1 m saat TMA diatas normal.. kondisi ini diperparah dengan adanya 3 jeram diagonal standing wave (zig-zag, mengingatkan jeram Maskot cimandiri taon 95an) dengan ujung jeram tsb adalah diagonal main flow mengarah ke tebing (jeram "S" cicatih)
Salah satu keuntungan dari trip ini adalah adanya jalan raya mengikuti jalur sungai hingga jembatan Pulau Timun sehingga tim darat dapat memantau pengarungan dengan kendaraan (mobil/motor).. malah terdapat beberapa jambatan gantung besi atau akar sehingga kita bisa membuat dokumentasi dengan foto atau video..

Rest point di jalur ini adalah sandy beach-nya ae' Bulu lengkap dengan air jernih nan segar.. kita bisa beristirahat makan siang dan menikmati jernihnya air sungai Bulu, salah satu anak sungai Manna...
finish point pulau timun, di bawah jembatan besi.. jembatan ini memotong sungai Manna sehingga awalnya dari Pagar Alam sungai Manna berada di sisi kanan jalan hingga P. Timun kemudian jalan raya berada berpindah ke sisi kiri jalan raya setelah jalur sungai meninggalkan P. Timun..
di P. Timun, teman2 bisa singgah ke rumah kepala desa, waktu itu Pak Tipus dan dia banyak bercerita ttg sungai manna dan jeram2nya yg dahsyat.. terutama jeram JERIBIK...

Lower Part : Pulau Timun - Manna, Bengkulu (utang nih....)
SP : desa Pulau Timun
FP : Jeram ae' Manna Hijau
jarak tempuh : 1 jam (tegang, full scouting abieeeessssss)

sebenarnya jalur ini belum kita arungi.. soalnya saat survey waktu kita tidak cukup.. apalagi saat survey pertama TMA makin meninggi krn hujan di hulu.. dan beberapa teman tidak berminat untuk mencoba kedahsyatan jeram Jeribik.. kondisi september '03, jeram Jeribik bisa dikategorikan grade 4.. tapi survey april '03 jeram tsb bisa dikatakan UNRUNABLE..!!!!!
lokasi jeram Jeribik berada kira2 700m dari jembatan P. Timun dan terlihat dari pinggir jalan.. sayang nya dari pinggir jalan menuju jeram itu, jalanan menurun dan terjal dengan kemiringan 80 derajat.. hampir seperti melihat ujung jari kaki kita saat berdiri di pinggir jalan...
sekitar 15 menit mengikuti jalan raya menuju Bengkulu, kita akan menemukan patung Garuda Hitam yg merupakan perbatasan Palembang - Bengkulu...
masih terdapat beberapa jeram besar setelah Jeribik tapi kondisi sungai semakin jauh di bawah menjadikan scouting sangat sulit...
setalah perbatasan, kondisi sungai mulai tenang dan menjadi flat saat memasuki kota Manna, Bengkulu

................ae' manna.... here we come...


buat teman2 yg tidak tersebutkan di tulisan ini, maap ya... poho euyh..
buat teman2 milis, sori klo tulisannya tidak menggunakan bahasa indonesia yg baik dan disempurna'ken...
buat yeyen en pipin... siap-siap yak... hehehe..

1 We are discovering again that we live in a deeply mysterious world, full of sudden coincidences and synchronistic encounters that seem destined.

2 As more of us awaken to this mystery, we will create a completely new worldview - redefining the universe as energetic and sacred.

3 We will discover that everything around us, all matter, consists of and stems from a divine energy that we are beginning to see and understand.

4 From this perspective, we can see that humans have always felt insecure and disconnected from this sacred source, and have tried to take energy by dominating each other. This struggle is responsible for all human conflict.

5 The only solution is to cultivate a personal reconnection with the divine, a mystical transformation that fills us with unlimited energy and love, extends our perception of beauty, and lifts us into a Higher-Self Awareness.

6 In this awareness, we can release our own pattern of controlling, and discover a specific truth, a mission, we are here to share that helps evolve humanity toward this new level of reality.

7 In pursuit of this mission, we can discover an inner intuition that shows us where to go and what to do, and if we make only positive interpretations, brings a flow of coincidences that opens the doors for our mission to unfold.

8 When enough of us enter this evolutionary flow, always giving energy to the higher-self of everyone we meet, we will build a new culture where our bodies evolve to ever higher levels of energy and perception.

9 In this way, we participate in the long journey of evolution from the Big Bang to life's ultimate goal: to energize our bodies, generation by generation, until we walk into a heaven we can finally see.
