Seberapa sering Anda menggunakan Google sebagai mesin pencari di internet? Ingin tahu sebarapa banyak jumlah pencarian yang diproses oleh Google setiap bulan dan setiap harinya? Google pun mengungkapkan jawaban dari pertanyaan tersebut.

Pada sebuah ajang yang dilakukan Google untuk para pengiklan Adwords, mereka mengungkapkan bahwa setiap bulannya memproses sebanyak 100 miliar pencarian. Jika dihitung per hari, maka Google memproses sebanyak 3,3 miliar pencarian. Angka tersebut pun sangatlah tinggi. Terlebih mengingat jumlah populasi manusia di seluruh dunia saat ini mencapai angka sekitar 7 miliar orang.

Namun Google tidak memberikan informasi secara mendetail mengenai jenis pencarian yang dilakukan. Apakah pencarian tersebut dilakukan melalui homepage, menggunakan smartphone Android, memanfaatkan Google Now ataupun melakukan pencarian menggunakan situs lain.

Dibandingkan para kompetitornya, Google saat ini memang mendominasi penggunaan mesin pencari. Pesaingnya pun jauh tertinggal, entah itu Microsoft ataupun Yahoo.

Bali Hai has been family owned and operated for over five decades, and when we visited Bali Hai for dinner we were happily greeted by owners Susie Baumann and her husband Larry. Also on site for the evening were their sons Grant, Andy and Tommy. The family has worked hard to revitalize the Bali Hai property to make it a stand out destination for lunch, dinner, happy hour, and even special events and weddings.




Upon arrival, one can’t help but notice Mr. Bali Hai, the large playful tiki sculpture that stands proudly at the doors to this Shelter Island paradise. Walk through the large doors at the entrance and you’ll soon start to relax in the refurbished Polynesian-style building. Before you know it, you’ll swear you’re on island time.

Views from anywhere in the facility are breathtaking. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the building providing diners with an unobstructed view of the San Diego Bay. The interior, however, wasn’t always this way. Back in 2010 architect Graham Downes was brought on board to reinvigorate the San Diego landmark restaurant. His team fully restored the original internal timber structure which is made up of 15 types of wood. The entire structure was sandblasted to expose beautiful natural wood tones of brown, yellow and orange.

Explaining the atmosphere does not do the Bali Hai justice. It really must be seen in person to appreciate the beauty of the Polynesian concept. The restaurant is lit up with natural tones and Polynesian artifacts.




In addition to revitalizing the structure of the restaurant, the Bali Hai restaurant has brought on a vibrant new chef that has beautifully balanced the traditional menu items with new offerings that will whet the palate of any discerning food lover.

Executive Chef Ben Lieberman, previously with San Diego hot spot Burlap, has utilized his forward-thinking approach to develop an inspired Pacific Rim-style menu, capitalizing on the wonderful array of farm-fresh regional ingredients we get in San Diego.



Ahi Tuna Poke

“We are thrilled that Ben has already put his many talents to good work here,” said Larry Baumann, co-owner of Bali Hai. “With his background in Asian cooking and extensive knowledge of the local market, our menus will now change frequently, depending on what is freshly caught and available from local farms, markets and suppliers.”

California White Seabass

Capitalizing on the region’s farm fresh produce and abundant seafood Lieberman has introduced new summer menus for lunch, happy hour and dinner. Everything served is delicious, but the highlight of the dining experience was definitely the Crispy Ahi Tuna Tower. Or maybe it was the California White Sea Bass, or the brussels sprouts (Yes, I said it. The brussels sprouts were incredible).

Whatever you choose as your appetizer, main course, or dessert will be incredibly fresh and well presented. Paired with a fruity island cocktail and you just might forget that you aren’t on vacation. Or, like many others before you, you may realize how lucky we all are to call this beautiful city home.

Jackson converted to Islam in 1989 after a trip to Bahrain and publicly expressed his religious beliefs during his appearance on Big Brother. While filming the program, Jackson prayed and fasted. He also expressed his hopes to convert his brother Michael to Islam, saying it would provide him with peace and help to heal his problems.

Jermaine LaJuane Jackson (also known as Mohammad Abdul Aziz) (born December 11, 1954) is an American singer, bassist, composer, a member of The Jackson 5 and occasional film director. He also produced and recorded duets with American singer Whitney Houston in her early years as a recording artist and was also a producer for Bobby DeBarge's band Switch.list of "The hardest hitters in heavyweight history". He has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and the World Boxing Hall of Fame.

Jackson is the fourth child of Joseph and Katherine Jackson, born in Gary, Indiana after his brother Tito Jackson. His siblings are Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, La Toya, Marlon, Michael, Randy and Janet. He was raised as a Jehovah's Witness by his devout mother (though he later converted to Islam in 1989 after a trip to Bahrain). Jermaine was the original lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the Jackson Brothers—an earlier incarnation of The Jackson Five—until 1968, when younger brother Michael began assisting with lead vocals.

Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. January 17, 1942) is an American former professional boxer, philanthropist and social activist. Considered a cultural icon, Ali has both been idolized and vilified.

Originally known as Cassius Clay, at the age of 22 he won the world heavyweight championship from Sonny Liston. Ali changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam in 1964, subsequently converting to Sunni Islam in 1975. In 1967, three years after Ali had won the heavyweight championship, he was publicly vilified for his refusal to be conscripted into the U.S. military, based on his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War. His 1966 statement, "Man, I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong", was one of the more telling remarks of that era.

Ali was eventually arrested and found guilty on draft evasion charges; he was stripped of his boxing title, and his boxing license was suspended. He was not imprisoned, but did not fight again for nearly four years while his appeal worked its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it was eventually successful.

Ali would go on to become the first and only three-time lineal World Heavyweight Champion.

Nicknamed "The Greatest," Ali was involved in several historic boxing matches. Notable among these were three with rival Joe Frazier, which are considered among the greatest in boxing history, and one with George Foreman, where he finally regained his stripped titles seven years later. Ali was well known for his unorthodox fighting style, epitomized by his catchphrase "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", and employing techniques such as the Ali Shuffle and the rope-a-dope. Ali brought beauty and grace to the most uncompromising of sports and through the wonderful excesses of skill and character, he became the most famous athlete in the world. He was also known for his pre-match hype, where he would "trash talk" opponents, often with rhymes.

Pernah berkunjung ke pantai Watu Ulo di Jember, Jawa Timur, nah kalau anda pernah kesana coba amati di sekitar pantai ada banyak batu-batu yang berserakan di seputar pantai itu. Ehhh ternyata, batu-batu di pantai Watu Ulo itu memiliki kisahnya sendiri seperti banyak objek wisata pantai di Indonesia. Kali in bukan kisah percintaan atau yang sejenisnya melainkan kisah pertarungan antara manusia dengan seekor ular besar.


Nah, ingin tahu kisahnya ini dia ceritanya, konon pada zaman dulu disana hidup sepasang suami istri yang bernama Aki dan Nini Sambi. Lantaran keduanya memang pasangan lantas dikarunia oleh seorang putra bernama Joko Samudera. Layaknya keluarga yang butuh makan sehari-hari, mereka pun berbagi tugas, ayah ibu tugasnya mencari kayu bakar di bukit-bukit sekitar pantai. Sedangkan anaknya yang bernama Joko Samudera mencari ikan di laut.



Nah, pada suatu hari Aki dan Nini Sambi yang sedang mencari kayu bakar di hutan mendengar suara tangis bayi. Mereka pun mencari sumber suara tersebut dan menemukan seorang bayi lelaki yang sendirian . Tak tega melihatnya, Nini Sambi langsung jatuh hati dan merawatnya.


Pasangan itu pun kemudian memberi nama bayi tersebut dengan nama Marsudo. Waktu berlalu kedua bocah lelaki ini tumbuh dewasa. Untuk mencukupi kebutuhan hidupnya mereka secara bergantian mencari ikan di laut. Kali ini gilirannya Marsudo untuk mencari ikan, nah disaat sedang asiknya memancing, eh dirinya kaget lantaran pancingnya bergoyang.


Segeralah dia mengangkat pancingannya itu dan betapa terkejutnya dia saat mata pancingnya diangkat,terrnyata yang dia pancing adalah ikan besar yang bisa bicara. Ikan yang bernama Raja Mina itu ingin Marsudo melepaskan dirinya dan sebagai ganti Marsudo akan dikabulkan setiap keinginannya.


Merasa kasihan Marsudo pun melepaskannya. Dengan penuh ucapan rasa terima kasih, Raja Mina langsung berenang dengan bebas. Namun apes bagi Marsudo, setibanya dirumah dia langsung dimarahi oleh kedua orang tuanya karena melepaskan ikan sangat besar.


Tak tega melihat saudaranya itu dimarahi seraya ingin menghilangkan kejengkelan sang ayah, Joko Samudera pun pergi memancing ikan di laut kuntuk menggantikan adiknya. Nah, bukannya mendapati ikan dalam pancingannya, eh dia malah memancing seekor ular besar. Ular ini mengamuk karena kait pancing Joko Samudera melukai tubuhnya.


Dalam duel sengit keduanya tak mau menyerah, melihat sang kakakberjibaku mati-matian melawan ular raksasa. Marsudo berinsiatif memanggil Raja Mina ikan yang dia selamatkan. Dia meminta janji Raja Mina untuk memenangkan kakaknya melawan sang ular raksasa. Mendengar permintaan Marsudo, Raja Mina pun memberinya sebatang cemeti. Ikan yang bisa berbicara itu berpesan kepada untuyk memukul dua kali, maka tubuhnya akan terbelah jadi tiga. Pisahkan ketiga bagian tubuhnya ke tiga tempat, hingga dia tidak bisa bersatu. Kalau bersatu dia akan hidup kembali. Dan ular itu pun bisa ditaklukkannya.


Begitulah legenda yang membuat pantai tersebut bernama Watu Ulo. Di pinggir pantai, memang ada gugusan batu yang jika dilihat-lihat mirip dengan anatomi tubuh seekor ular. Panjang dan berlekuk-lekuk serta model batuannya seperti sisik.
