A group's immediate widespread popularity can sometimes have disastrous consequences, with constant touring and promotion taking its toll. Such was the case with Creed, leading to conflicts of personalities, and eventually the outfit's demise. Given the circumstances surrounding the split, Creed's return seemed a remote possibility, especially in light of the fact that its members seemed happy with their current musical endeavours. However, human beings change through time, and absence can make the heart grow fonder. Past issues can be amicably resolved, and maybe not seem as important as they once were. 

On June 4th, 2004 following the issue of three studio albums, namely 1997's "My Own Prison", 1999's "Human Clay", and 2001's "Weathered", Creed officially announced its split. Alongside erstwhile Creed bassist Brian Marshall, guitarist Mark Tremonti and drummer Scott Phillips formed Alter Bridge, whereas vocalist Scott Stapp opted in favour of a solo career. On April 27th, 2009 however, roughly five years later, a reunion of Creed's original lineup was confirmed through the group's official website. 

In Nashville, Tennessee from June to July 2009, fourth studio album "Full Circle" was recorded with producer Howard Benson. On August 6th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Creed's reunion tour began, concluding on October 20th in Hidalgo, Texas and previewing the following five newly penned tracks: "Overcome", "Rain", "Bread Of Shame", "Full Circle", and "A Thousand Faces". A week later on the 27th, "Full Circle"'s North American release came through Wind-Up Records. The album charted at position two on the Billboard 200, just behind Michael Jackson's "This Is It" compilation, shifting 110,000 copies in its inaugural week of release. First single "Overcome" had been released on August 25th, charting at position seventy-three on the Billboard Hot 100, while sophomore single "Rain" was released on October 6th, also charting on the Billboard Hot 100 (at position ninety-one). In the United Kingdom, "Rain" was issued on February 15th, 2010.

On February 4th at 18:20 GMT, a Wind-Up Records representative telephoned Hit The Lights' Robert Gray to put him through to Creed vocalist Scott Stapp, so that Creed's reunion and the man's solo career could be discussed.

the Albert Einstein on caricature

Apakah Tuhan menciptakan segala yang ada? Apakah kejahatan itu ada? Apakah Tuhan menciptakan kejahatan? Seorang Profesor dari sebuah universitas terkenal menantang mahasiswa-mahasiswanya dengan pertanyaan ini, "Apakah Tuhan menciptakan segala yang ada?".
Seorang mahasiswa dengan berani menjawab, "Betul, Dia yang menciptakan
semuanya". "Tuhan menciptakan semuanya?" Tanya professor sekali lagi. "Ya, Pak, semuanya" kata mahasiswa tersebut. Profesor itu menjawab, "Jika Tuhan menciptakan segalanya, berarti Tuhan menciptakan Kejahatan. Karena kejahatan itu ada, dan menurut prinsip kita bahwa pekerjaan kita menjelaskan siapa kita, jadi kita bisa berasumsi bahwa Tuhan itu adalah kejahatan." Mahasiswa itu terdiam dan tidak bisa menjawab hipotesis professor tersebut.
Profesor itu merasa menang dan menyombongkan diri bahwa sekali lagi dia telah membuktikan kalau agama itu adalah sebuah mitos. Mahasiswa lain mengangkat tangan dan berkata, "Profesor, boleh saya bertanya sesuatu?"
"Tentu saja," jawab si Profesor
Apakah Tuhan Menciptakan Kejahatan?
Mahasiswa itu berdiri dan bertanya, "Profesor, apakah dingin itu ada?"
"Pertanyaan macam apa itu? Tentu saja dingin itu ada. Kamu tidak pernah sakit flu?" Tanya si professor diiringi tawa mahasiswa lainnya. Mahasiswa itu menjawab, "Kenyataannya, Pak, dingin itu tidak ada. Menurut hukum fisika, yang kita anggap dingin itu adalah ketiadaan panas. Suhu -460F adalah ketiadaan panas sama sekali. Dan semua partikel menjadi diam dan tidak bisa bereaksi pada suhu tersebut. Kita menciptakan kata dingin untuk mendeskripsikan ketiadaan panas.
Mahasiswa itu melanjutkan, "Profesor, apakah gelap itu ada?" Profesodar itu menjawab, "Tentu saja itu ada." Mahasiswa itu menjawab, "Sekali lagi anda salah, Pak. Gelap itu juga tidak a. Gelap adalah keadaan dimana tidak ada cahaya. Cahaya bisa kita pelajari, gelap tidak. Kita bisa menggunakan prisma Newton untuk memecahkan cahaya menjadi beberapa warna dan mempelajari berbagai panjang gelombang setiap warna. Tapi Anda tidak bisa mengukur gelap. Seberapa gelap suatu ruangan diukur dengan berapa intensitas cahaya di ruangan tersebut. Kata gelap dipakai manusia untuk mendeskripsikan ketiadaan cahaya."
Akhirnya mahasiswa itu bertanya, "Profesor, apakah kejahatan itu ada?" Dengan bimbang professor itu menjawab, "Tentu saja, seperti yang telah kukatakan sebelumnya. Kita melihat setiap hari di Koran dan TV. Banyak perkara kriminal dan kekerasan di antara manusia. Perkara-perkara tersebut adalah manifestasi dari kejahatan."
Terhadap pernyataan ini mahasiswa itu menjawab, "Sekali lagi Anda salah, Pak. Kejahatan itu tidak ada. Kejahatan adalah ketiadaan Tuhan. Seperti dingin atau gelap, kejahatan adalah kata yang dipakai manusia untuk mendeskripsikan ketiadaan Tuhan. Tuhan tidak menciptakan kejahatan. Kejahatan adalah hasil dari tidak adanya kasih Tuhan di hati manusia. Seperti dingin yang timbul dari ketiadaan panas dan gelap yang timbul dari ketiadaan cahaya."
Profesor itu terdiam.
Nama mahasiswa itu adalah Albert Einstein-caricatur_666 like this genius-

Kualitas Batik Indonesia-batik china

Kurang lebih hampir 1,5 tahun yg lalu telah masuk batik asal cina dengan tujuan untuk menandingi batik budaya kita tepatnya pekalongan. Dengan harga yang lebih murah walau beda tipis n corak yg lebih mencolok telah menggemparkan para seniman di kota itu, maka seniman di kota pekalongan pun akhirnya membandingkan kualitas satu sama lain,ternyata hasil kualitas batik budaya kita jauh lebih bagus dengan pembuatan asli secara tradisional dengan tenaga kerja yg ahli.

Selain itu pemerintah setempatpun ikut andil dlm menyelamatkan budaya kita dengan pemeriksaan segala macam yg ternyata batik asal cina tsb adalah ilegal, Maka selain mereka harus mengantongi rasa malu akn kualits budaya kita n mereka pun harus berhadapan dg pihak yg berwajib.

caricatur onkecak bali asli indonesia

Kecak (pelafalan: /'ke.tʃak/, secara kasar "KEH-chahk", pengejaan alternatif: Ketjak, Ketjack, dan Ketiak), adalah pertunjukan seni khas Bali yang diciptakan pada tahun 1930-an dan dimainkan terutama oleh laki-laki. Tarian ini dipertunjukkan oleh banyak (puluhan atau lebih) penari laki-laki yang duduk berbaris melingkar dan dengan irama tertentu menyerukan "cak" dan mengangkat kedua lengan, menggambarkan kisah Ramayana saat barisan kera membantu Rama melawan Rahwana. Namun demikian, Kecak berasal dari ritual sanghyang, yaitu tradisi tarian yang penarinya akan berada pada kondisi tidak sadar^[1], melakukan komunikasi dengan Tuhan atau roh para leluhur dan kemudian menyampaikan harapan-harapannya kepada masyarakat.

Para penari yang duduk melingkar tersebut mengenakan kain kotak-kotak seperti papan catur melingkari pinggang mereka. Selain para penari itu, ada pula para penari lain yang memerankan tokoh-tokoh Ramayana seperti Rama, Shinta, Rahwana, Hanoman, dan Sugriwa.

Lagu tari Kecak diambil dari ritual tarian sanghyang. Selain itu, tidak digunakan alat musik. Hanya digunakan kincringan yang dikenakan pada kaki penari yang memerankan tokoh-tokoh Ramayana.

Sekitar tahun 1930-an Wayan Limbak bekerja sama dengan pelukis Jerman Walter Spies menciptakan tari Kecak berdasarkan tradisi Sanghyang dan bagian-bagian kisah Ramayana. Wayan Limbak mempopulerkan tari ini saat berkeliling dunia bersama rombongan penari Bali-nya.
