Great photo Bert. You can tell Dewi for me that I think she's much more beautiful!I guess you heard that during the Miss Universe contest, she got into a lot of BS here because of her modeling in a bikini. :(
Bert Vierstra
Yes, I did.....and... Miss Indonesia is half German..... and Dewi is asli :)Anyway, Dewi doesn't care, has the pictures on her handphone and is showing off to everyone....A (small) Panorama of Miss Indonesia and a few Misses Singaraja:[brl:1n56r5nd]http://www.360rage.com/view-panorama.php?p=41[/brl:1n56r5nd](Choose one of the java versions, and even dial up users can see it...)

After seeing the photos of Nadine and Dewi side-by-side, I agree with Roy. In my view, Dewi has far more natural beauty than Miss Indonesia.
Roy
and... Miss Indonesia is half German[/quote]Well then! That explains why Nadine is towering over Dewi in the photo. As I recall Dewi, she is average in height for an Indonesian woman. I'll bet Dewi looks a lot better in a bikini too! :shock: :oops:

I was very impressed with Nadine, such a lovely patient person, not once complaining of all the people sticking their hand phones right in front of her face for a photo even when she was eating. I think she has been and is a great ambassador for Indonesia.

Nice pictures Bert!Will contact you today for picture inventory.Too bad you missed out at the Golf Tournament in Bedugul Bert. Because of (un)fortunate coincidences there was hardly any public and no press at all present in Bedugul. Because of this Glenn and I were in the position to have an intimate lunch with Miss Bali 2005 (Ayu Pradnyandari) and Miss Indonesia World 2005 (Lindi Cistia). I took some great pics during that day.Ringo
Roy
Ringo, you've been working diligently on your web site. Selamat! I really like it. It's very friendly, inviting, easy to navigate, and full of GREAT stuff. Well done! I say. So...about this:Because of this Glenn and I were in the position to have an intimate lunch with Miss Bali 2005 (Ayu Pradnyandari) and Miss Indonesia World 2005 (Lindi Cistia).[/quote]How about some 'details" on this "intimate lunch?" Did you share hors d'oevres or something else? :oops:
Ringo
Roy, hors d'oevres? Not quite. Prawns, chocolate cakes, and hp nrs ;-)

[b]Re: RE: Miss Indonesia Nadine[/b]Nice pictures Bert!Will contact you today for picture inventory.[/quote]Bad news. My harddisk is broken. 100's of pictures /pano's gone, as well as a months worth of email and plenty of website work.... :cry: :cry: :cry:

That's not good news Bert. I know how that feels when you lose all your files because of a crashed hard disk. It's very frustrating. :xDo you run regular back up of files?
Bert Vierstra
Not regular enough I am afraid
Ringo
Sorry to hear that Bert. It's certainly a loss for the festival as well since the quality of your photos is reknown as belonging to the best.A preliminary photo report can be found at [url="http://www.northbali.com"]http://www.northbali.com[/url]

The files on the downed hard drive may be recoverable with another program. You first get a new hard drive with an operating sytem on it. Than attach the downed drive as a slave drive and see if, with a special program, you can retrieve your data. Usually you can. good luck Bert.
Bert Vierstra
Yes most files are recoverable, I bought a program online and am restoring most important stuff right now :)
rhondo
Bert once you get your information recovered than place a second drive on the cable and always, always, keep data backed up to this drive. Than even if your primary goes down you still have all your data.
Bert Vierstra
Wise words rhondo

BertI do always try to back up on a regualr basis and have a portable 250Gb hard disk just for this. I have had 3 major crashes in a year where I have lost all my data.Do I learn.......no! My last back up was 3 weeks ago. Now where is that windows automatic program. I know I had it yesterday:-)Do any of us ever shut the door before the horse has bolted? Its amazing how there is a proliferation of burgalar alarms in my street.......after someone has been burgled.
Adele
Dear Bert, I am new to this forum but just wanted to say I think your wife Dewi is just stunning, such a beautiful smile.Blessings - Adele :D P.S. sorry about your files I do so hope that they can be retrieved!
