Cowboys In Paradise

Download Cowboys In Paradise - Para pemain film dokumenter Cowboys in Paradise membantah diri mereka sebagai gigolo. Salah seorang pemain film, Arnold dan rekannya mengaku ditipu sang sutradara. Mereka menolak disebut gigola karena mereka hanya pelatih selancar di Pantai Kuta, Bali.

Dalam film Cowboys in Paradise, Arnold seolah muncul sebagai gigolo yang kerap menjual jasa di Pantai Kuta. Ia mengatakan, Amit Virmani, sang sutradara asal Singapura, mengajak dirinya mengangkat kisah kehidupan lelaki pantai lewat film ini. Arnold sama sekali tidak mengetahui bahwa akan diceritakan sebagai gigolo.

Akibat peredaran film dokumenter ini, kehidupan "beach boy" atau anak pantai menjadi terganggu. Masyarakat menjadi risih menggunakan jasa mereka sebagai pelatih selancar. Para pemain film berencana menuntut sang sutradara walau mengaku tidak memiliki biaya untuk menyewa pengacara.

Sebelumnya Satgas Pengamanan Pantai Kuta sempat melakukan razia gigolo sebagai respons dari film tersebut. Sejumlah aparat menyisir tempat-tempat yang diduga sebagai lokasi mangkalnya para gigolo

Astrological Signs

As the week starts there may be good ideas whizzing about but can you grab them before you dance yourself dizzy with excitement? Creativity is a blessing bestowed on your sign and there is no doubt you can make things work but you do need to be level headed about it when it comes to details.

From Wednesday you get some help with that as Saturn moves back into the detail part of your chart and you're able to see what needs to be done and you can get on and do it.

Taurus April 21 to May 21

Your love life is top of the list with Venus in your sign and if Mercury's chattering could push you into saying hello to someone But watch it from there on in - saying hello is good, arranging a date is fine, then it's time to listen to what they have to say.

There's a secret revealed this week too with backward moving planets digging for who said what to who and showing you just what's been going on at work and at play. You're also given a chance to change your foundations.

Gemini May 22 to June 21

You really are being tested this week, as you have to keep things under wraps until everything is signed, sealed and delivered.

It's tough on you and you may be tempted to tell just one person who will of course tell another - and you know where that will lead.

Love isn't where you would like it to be but even in the most difficult of circumstances there are opportunities and, being the sign that you are, you won't be long in seeing them and making the most of it.

Cancer June 22 to July 23

Knowing you're right isn't the same as knowing everyone else knows you're right and for some bizarre reason the latter can sometimes be more important.

Comfort yourself with the fact you are indeed right and those who think otherwise can get on with it.

Silence is your best weapon against gossip. Facts speak for themselves - add time and space to that equation and you get a very swift vindication of all you stand for. Relationships arealso going through a helpful time.

Leo July 24 to Aug 23

We all know you're gorgeous, we all know you're adept at what you do, and we all know you're funny, witty and bright.

Actually, we don't all know. Some people haven't met you yet, haven't seen what you can do and haven't been privy to your abilities - so what can you do to change that? Get in their face. No matter where you want to shine, the possibility is in your chart and so long as you're doing it for the right reasons it seems that your gift for getting noticed is now working overtime. Apply for that job!

Virgo Aug 24 to Sep 23

On Wednesday you get the benefit of Saturn back in your sign and he draws something to you that's long overdue.

This line-up brings you eyes of a hawk, ears of a bat and the conversational skills of a world-class lawyer - not a look everyone can get away with but you can.

Use this time to find out what's really going on at work, with your love life, family life or underneath any rock you feel the urge to lift.

Libra Sept 24 to Oct 23

You're well equipped with the questioning gene, well able to let people know you want the truth and you're happy to give it the time it might need to surface.

So when you feel you're not hearing what you you should be hearing get your gifts out and give the questioning a go.

You say ta-ta to Saturn for a while and job news slows down. No slacking, new contracts aren't terminating, they are just hibernating.

Scorpio Oct 24 to Nov 22

If you're considering speaking up on the love front you may want to know that it's a good time - but there may be those flare-ups which don't make it feel that good.

Don't panic, heated debate and an honest appraisal of support will help.

Making a decision over a career matter could be getting in the way - shame, as the choices you have are exciting. But what's sweet for you may be sour for another.

Sagittarius Nov 23 to Dec 21

There's gossip aplenty on the work front but does that mean you have to get involved? Bit of a no brainer - you're brighter than to believe what some people say over what the facts tell you and it's that which saves the week.

Dig in, don't be swayed by the cappuccino and gossip club and you can't go wrong. You have other things to distract you and most of them seem to be about your love life.

Capricorn Dec 22 to Jan 20

Pluto is reversing in your sign from Tuesday which may not fill you with joy.

He may not be a planet according to some but he can still pack a punch if you're in any situations that need you to dig deeper than some would like you to look.

People respect your business acumen and your attention to detail, so dig away. You will find what you're looking for.

Aquarius Jan 21 to Feb 19

Expect some resistance to your plans, especially family ones, and don't give in to the charm offensive that will be launched with puppy dog eyes and free chocolate.

Your romantic life is still illuminated by Mars who has fallen out with Venus - don't panic, he is only trying to get her to see sense over a grand expense that may too grand. Saturn's return heralds a journey into the deeper corners of your soul. Think on.

Pisces Feb 20 to Mar 20

You still have Jupiter giving you the come hither, asking you to throw caution to the wind and embark on an adventure, but are you in an adventurous mood?

If you are then go for it. If not, stand around while opportunity and old-fashioned good luck throw themselves at you in an attempt to break free from the norm.

At work, a colleague could be more stubborn than usual but they have met their match with you. Good luck will be your reward.

Mengenang dengan Gambar ‎

Sekelompok siswa sebuah sekolah dasar di Surakarta, Jawa Tengah, berkumpul di halaman sekolah. Mereka mengelilingi foto yang dipajang di halaman sekolah. Bukan foto biasa, sebab dia adalah salah seorang bapak bangsa, yaitu Abdurrahman Wahid atau Gus Dur.
 
Kamis (8/4), sebanyak 150 siswa SD Joglo Surakarta bersama-sama menggambar wajah Gus Dur dalam rangka peringatan 100 hari meninggalnya mantan presiden Indonesia ke-4 itu.
Hanya berbekal pensil dan alat hapus, mereka mulai menggambar wajah Gus Dur dalam kertas putih. Sebagai model, dipasang kain berukurang 90x150 centimeter yang sudah tercetak wajah Gus Dur. Bahkan, salah seorang siswa yang dianggap mirip Gus Dur diminta untuk berdiri di samping foto.

Anak mirip Gus Dur bernama Zulfikar Soni Pratama diminta memakai batik coklat lengan panjang, peci hitam, dan berkacamata. “Kata teman-teman, sekilas saya mirip Gus Dur,” jelas siswa kelas IV ini. Dia mengaku bangga dianggap mirip seorang tokoh nasional yang banyak berjasa bagi Indonesia.

Tak semua gambar yang dibuat bagus. Ada yang asal gambar wajah, bahkan ada yang hanya menonjolkan kacamata dan peci hitamnya. Salah seorang guru Pujiyana tidak mempermasalahkan hasil gambar anak didiknya. Sebab, pihaknya hanya ingin mendidik anak-anak untuk menghargai dan meneladani apa-apa yang sudah diperbuat Gus Dur. “Salah satunya, dengan menggambar wajah Gus Dur,” terangnya.

Salah seorang siswa kelas IV, Kenaga Suryadarma mengatakan selama ini mengidolakan Gus Dur. Sebab, “Gus Dur orangnya lucu, baik, dan perhatian ke semua orang.”. Dia berdoa semoga Tuhan mengampuni dosa-dosa Gus Dur dan menempatkannya di surga.

Selain menggambar, anak-anak juga menggelar doa bersama. Mereka berharap Gus Dur diterima di sisi Tuhan dikarenakan jasa-jasanya yang telah mempersatukan umat beragama di Indonesia. Mereka juga berharap bisa meneladani dan meneruskan cita-cita perjuangan Gus Dur.
