</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Women expect lavish gifts Valentine could be set up for disappointment if 2010 is used as a gauge, new research shows.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The information compiled by market research firm Kantar's World Panel GiftTrak showed that men gifts purchased 25 per cent less in 2010 than in 2009, and experts believe that this trend will continue in 2011.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The survey showed that just over 11 million Valentine's gifts were purchased last year, up 16 percent year over year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Alex Seron, Consumer Insight Director Kantar GiftTrak World Panel, said: "The fact that Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday last year certainly contributed to the decrease in the purchase of gifts, because more than one partner may be ready for is like breakfast in bed, instead of, or to take advantage of supermarket offers a meal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Retailers have to be optimistic about this year's Valentine's Day falls on Monday. However, the prospects are not rosy for all retailers as people continue to want to spend less of their loved ones this year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"When buying gifts, we find that the flowers, candy and jewelry are traditionally popular Valentine's Day present for women and sales of these donations are amplified in the standby mode until 14 February. For men, gifts may include clothing, confectionery and toiletries. "</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kantar says supermarkets continue to enter the romance market, increasing its stake to 42 percent last year. And in this campaign today, the spirit of the Cooperative has released a special marketing Valentine television for customers to buy your special meal for two.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-50284294197894965542011-02-11T03:59:00.000-08:002011-02-11T03:59:57.028-08:00What is a Caliphate ? The Definition<div style="text-align: justify;">Caliphate (kal-fit `IFAT), the domination of Islam;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Caliph (kal 'If'), the leading spiritual and temporal leader of the Islamic state. In principle, Islam is theocratic: when Muhammad died, a [caliph. Arabic] = successor has been chosen to rule in his place. The caliph had temporal and spiritual power, but was not permitted prophetic power, which was reserved for Muhammad. Caliph could not exercise its authority on religious doctrine. The first Caliph Abu Bakr was. He was replaced by Omar, Othman and Ali. Sunni Muslims recognize these first four or Rashidun (rightly guided), caliphs. Shiites, however, recognize Ali as the first caliph. After the death of Ali, Muawiya became caliph and founded the Umayyad dynasty (661-750), mainly by force of arms. The capital was Damascus. In 750 the Abbasid family, descendants of the Prophet's uncle, led a coalition that defeated (749-50), the Umayyad family. The Abbasid dynasty (749-1258) is sometimes called the caliphate of Baghdad.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-54880431618737336742011-02-11T03:55:00.001-08:002011-02-11T03:55:17.176-08:00RIP brian jacques<div style="text-align: justify;">Brian Jacques, author of the famous Redwall series of books has just ended.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The fourth trial pop superstar went straight from the future, and underpin the extremely busy period to be more than what the eye can detect. The stage was shaped in the form of high-end headphone producer Dr. Dre Beats by Dre. After ascending to heaven in what looked like mini flying saucers, the points black and silver dress crossed all his hits, opening with the great success of 2009 "I Got A Feeling."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Chrysler 200 Super Bowl commercial was an unmitigated success on Sunday in its one and only showing. Now, though, Chrysler is looking to capitalize on the success, bringing in Eminem, star of the commercial, for a meeting to discuss future options. Eminem made a brief appearance in the commercial, though his music was a big part, yet stole the show, with much of the buzz centered on the rapper on Sunday and Monday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Detroit Free Press reported the meeting, set to take place on Thursday.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Detroit Bureau, an automotive industry news Web site, is reporting that Chrysler’s top brand executive and Eminem will meet today and might discuss the possibility of additional commercials in the future.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Eminem was the surprise celebrity star of Chrysler’s well-received two-minute Super Bowl commercial for the Chrysler brand and its Chrysler 200 sedan.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Super Bowl commercial was a one-shot deal, with the ad only airing during the game and never again. Chrysler, however, had already planned to use Eminem’s music in future commercials, but all that could change. Instead, the Detroit rapper could be making cameos after his successful venture into the commercial foray with Chrysler during the Super Bowl.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It works for both Chrysler and Eminem, who each stand to benefit from a business relationship. Eminem was a big part of Chrysler’s success during the Super Bowl, and is also in line to receive a nice paycheck should he parlay that success into a longer-term deal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As you can see, a successful Super Bowl commercial can have an affect long after the game ends and buzz dies down for both stars of the commercials and the companies themselves. Those ad dollars can pay off quickly when a commercial hits the big-time, which plenty did this past weekend.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-6489084155707537582011-02-11T03:47:00.000-08:002011-02-11T03:47:07.391-08:00Christina Aguilera And Lady Gaga In Final Grammy Poll Showdown<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rj5Rh8uosPk/TVUhrfB6R1I/AAAAAAAADhc/AwIC1TpMQ5g/s1600/The+53rd+Grammy+Awards+are+almost+here.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rj5Rh8uosPk/TVUhrfB6R1I/AAAAAAAADhc/AwIC1TpMQ5g/s400/The+53rd+Grammy+Awards+are+almost+here.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Christina Aguilera And Lady Gaga In Final Grammy Poll Showdown</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 53rd Grammy Awards are almost here, but the list of Grammy performers continues to grow. As if Eminem is aware that his lead in carrying out the survey at the Grammy Awards Most Wanted was slippery, news came down today that Dr. Dre made Slim Shady would join on stage for a show (probably only right path "I need a doctor"). And just because they apparently do not have enough stories already in the record, Bob Dylan was also added to the lineup of the night (he will play with Mumford & Sons and Avett Brothers in what is presented as a "tribute to acoustic music , "which probably hints of folk, country and bluegrass).</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As for the vote for the most anticipated performance is Grammy, Christina Aguilera (and the rest of the women participating in the tribute to Aretha Franklin) took control of the whole affair. Despite a good decent start, Lady Gaga, Eminem were assigned to head Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and company. But there is still time to support your favorite, that voting is open until Friday morning (11 February). The winner will be announced on Saturday (12 February), just in time to allow the actual performance takes place on Sunday (13 February).

The public has grown so obsessed with Hollywood which encourages the fashion industry to evolve on its profitable growth. Immediate popularity is handy if you have the right combination of all (say choice of impeller, choice of fashion ideas and creative sense of fashion and the like).</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>However, the fashion industry is difficult to penetrate. Must be equipped with the knowledge and the influences that could provide the maximum exposure that you need to deliver your creations in the industry. But still, most of everything that is controlled by your brilliance in design that would give Centre stage.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Your talents might be there. It is an innate property that cannot be stolen from you. Is at your own discretion however to let the talent to transform passion. But the talent and skills are not sufficient. You must undergo formal instructions to refine those special features and directed specifically to become the best of your car.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>This is the basic principle because the fashion schools exist and continue to serve the budding artists. They provide guidance and training to lead the artist to reach with his creations. While the online fashion schools are harvested reputation in the fashion industry, this still does not deny the fact that the hands-on training and face-to-face instruction cannot be equalled even for the best deals online degree.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Since you are considering entering a fashion school, expect you to be sufficiently informed about the basics of fashion design and basic design awareness. However, this is not an implication that the student has to produce quality ramp creations initially. Instead, it is expected that highlight the brilliance in simple designs and create concepts that can be modeled on the works of some great fashion designers or, better yet, drawings of its concepts.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Remember that fashion designers, only the first name in the industry when they produced something really creative that can meet the current fashion sense, although the originality and the sense of distinction from other fashion trends.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>You may not be having this nature for the moment. But the thing is, a more efficient fashion school could bring out the brilliance in you and your creations. Initially, you can produce concepts of rubbish, but this would be fixed with good learning that you have acquired from a formal school.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Some people may argue that, even without proper education, an artist can create fashion trends that will be embraced by the public. Yes, that might be true. But remember that there are too few individuals who have made the fashion scene with the littlest formal study. In addition, trends in fashion change. Now what might have been true before cant be exactly true. A formal statement may update is the latest trends and analysis of the latest styles that have recreated the industry.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>A school of fashion, as higher education will help you find your niche. You could have creative ideas lurking in your mind, but these ideas are turned into sliding nothing if not properly addressed.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Moreover, the experiences of school teachers would be fashion handed down on you. In this way, are less likely to fall into the same pitfalls that have arisen from themselves.</P>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-79057692120720222062011-01-20T11:44:00.000-08:002011-01-20T11:47:28.551-08:00Sabias que...1.

Clothes these days have become a great combination of aesthetics and function. You may think as such because of the progress that we have maid in the clothing sector, it would not look back at our past. As a matter of fact, as usual, has a way to deny what everyone thinks. Today, we all see a resurgence of fashion popular styles of the past. It seems that the old-school fashion is back.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>First of all, what is the old school of fashion? Well, it is fashion from 1970s-1980s. Old school fashion is being led by teenagers and young adults aware of fashion today. Old school fashion is not determined only by clothes. Old school is evident in fashion accessories, hairstyles, and even in the attitude of young people today. However, the question is why? Because it is fashionable to old school return?</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>There are a number of reasons why people are bringing back the old school of fashion. First of all, the charm of the past has started with the television. You realize that people who are bringing back the old school of fashion are the ones who grew up watching replicas of these shows as happy days? We are also the same generation who love watching that TV show based on the past as Show that 70.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Come to think of it, we are exposed so very trendy old-school in other media. Think of movies: there are those who have enjoyed watching the movies of old shows as Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels and other films that have been resurrected from death camp TV old to the new life of cinema.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Well, i mean certainly brought the fashion revival of old school. It was the spark that created the fire. The question, however, is what powers the flames? The truth is that people like the old school of fashion. It looks good and helps you to reconnect with a past that was not as complicated as the world today. The reason why the old school of fashion is constantly gaining in popularity is the fact that, once it has been reintroduced in society, people found that they really liked it.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Old school fashion is also very popular due to the fact that there is just something that is so sexy. Old school fashion is designed to show the beauty of the human body. Fitted shirts and pants, cool models and drawings, these are trademarks of the past which have no real young.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>Another reason, why people think that the old-school fashion is so cool is the fact that, combined with today's technology, comfortable fabrics, designs of old-school can be quite informal and yet at the same time.</P><br /><P></P><br /><P>So why is old-school fashion return? Well, some people would see as a metaphor for us trying to retrieve a past that never really belonged to us. It can also be a metaphor for trying to extract the best out of the past. You see, when the old-school fashion was brought into this century, we have never really brought all the bad memories with it. Old school fashion could be a great example of recapture the past good or bad could be a metaphor for selective amnesia. You decide.</P><br /><OBJECT style="WIDTH: 425px; HEIGHT: 350px" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/WRV0w7aW8vI&hl=en&fs=1" type=application/x-shockwave-flash allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"><br />><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WRV0w7aW8vI&hl=en&fs=1"/><br />></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-12949682220241336812011-01-20T11:30:00.000-08:002011-01-20T11:36:49.426-08:00KH. Kosim Nurseha (Guru diRadio) <br /> "Saya Harus Hati-hati" <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sebagian orang mungkin mengira bahwa kedekatan KH Kosim Nurseha dengan <br /> keluarga Presiden Soeharto menjadikan bapak empat anak ini <br /> berpenampilan wah: rumahnya yang mewah dengan pagar tinggi plus <br /> penjagaaan ketat, di dalamnya sejumlah pembantu yang sibuk <br /> melayaninya, dan selalu naik kendaran mewah. Ceramahnya hanya pada <br /> kalangan gedongan dan para petinggi negara dengan 'tarif' yang tinggi. <br /> Sementara untuk bertemu dengannya harus melalui prosedur yang ketat. <br /> <br /> Namun kesan itu hilang ketika Sahid mengunjungi kediaman kiai asal <br /> Tegal yang terletak diperkampungan di kawasan Cibubur Jakarta Selatan <br /> itu. Rumah itu sederhana, dengan pagar teralis yang catnya sudah mulai <br /> mengelupas karena terpanggang panasnya sinar matahari. Sementara <br /> bagian dalam terlihat langit-langit mulai rusak dan sebagian <br /> dindingnya retak karena tua. <br /> <br /> Bagian ruang tamunya nyaris tanpa hiasan kecuali beberapa buku, <br /> kaligrafi dari kuningan, beberapa cindera mata dari majlis taklim dan <br /> foto Kosim bersalaman dengan Pak Harto. Untuk mencapai rumah itu harus <br /> melewati jalan sempit yang hanya bisa dilalui kendaraan dengan satu <br /> arah. "Bapak senang tinggal di sini karena ini hasil keringatnya <br /> sendiri," kata Drs M. Mudhofar Hasan, salah satu sekretaris <br /> pribadinya. Rumah dinas yang ada di kompleks Angkatan Darat Cijantung <br /> tidak ditempatinya. <br /> <br /> Ditemui di rumahnya pada Sabtu pagi pertengahan bulan ini, Kosim <br /> menyambut Sahid dengan mengenakan sarung. Sementara dua tamu yang lain <br /> lebih dulu datang menjemputnya untuk acara ceramah nikah di rumah <br /> Sekwilda Bekasi. "Kalau di rumah memang biasanya begini, gaya santri," <br /> katanya menyambut. <br /> <br /> Kepada kedua tamunya Kosim berpesan, dirinya sangat tidak suka kalau <br /> ada orang yang meminta ceramah lantas menitipkan uang muka, porsekot, <br /> down payment, uang jasa baik atau apapun namanya. Soal bisa atau <br /> tidak, tidak tergantung pada siapa yang mengundangnya. "Di gang sempit <br /> sekalipun akan saya datangi, kalau ada waktu," ujarnya. <br /> <br /> Kosim sering diundang pengajian ke sejumlah kampung terpencil Jakarta, <br /> dijemput dengan kendaraan yang sederhana, tanpa AC. Bagi orang <br /> berpostur subur seperti Kosim, hal itu tentu agak mengganggu, karena <br /> akan menggerahkan. Meski sebuah Baby Benz nongkrong di garasinya, ia <br /> sering memilih pergi bersama para penjemputnya. "Saya merasa bahagia <br /> karena mereka melakukannya dengan ikhlas tanpa pamrih," katanya lebih <br /> lanjut. <br /> <br /> Kosim Nurseha yang lahir 12 Juli 1936 selama ini memang dikenal <br /> sebagai salah satu pembimbing ruhani keluarga Pak Harto. Perannya <br /> dalam mengantarkan keluarga Presiden semakin dekat dengan Islam telah <br /> diketahui banyak orang. Misalnya bersama KH. Mashuri Syahid, dialah <br /> yang membuatkan tuntunan praktis pemahaman dan pengamalan ajaran <br /> Islam, baik dalam bidang aqidah, syariah maupun akhlak. <br /> <br /> Perkenalan dengan keluarga Cendana bermula dari sebuah ceramahnya di <br /> TMII (Taman Mini Indonesia Indah) di tahun 1980-an. Materi ceramahnya <br /> tentang silarraturahim ternyata sangat menyentuh Ibu Tien Soeharto <br /> waktu itu, bahkan beliaunya sempat terkagum-kagum dengan humor yang <br /> dilontarkan Kosim. Ketika Kosim mengakhiri ceramahnya, buru- buru <br /> ajudan Presiden lari ke podium menyampaikan keinginan Ibu Tien agar <br /> Kosim ceramah lagi. "Baru pertama kali saya diminta nambah ceramah," <br /> ceritanya mengenang. Sejak itu Kosim yang sudah bertugas di Disbintal <br /> AD akrab dengan keluarga Pak Harto. Apalagi dengan pengajian yang <br /> diadakan keluarga Presiden dua kali sebulan. <br /> <br /> Pesan ceramahnya mudah ditangkap masyarakat, bahkan diselingi dengan <br /> humor segar, tapi jauh dari pesan porno, dan tidak berkurang bobot <br /> keilmiahannya. Menurutnya, itu karena bahasa yang digunakan adalah <br /> bahasa kopral. "Kalau bahasa kopral, jendralnya pasti ngerti. Tapi <br /> kalau pakai bahasa jenderal kopralnya bisa nggak paham," katanya <br /> setengah bercanda. <br /> <br /> Sejak masih mudanya putera dari keluarga Mohammad Nurseha ini dikenal <br /> sebagai mubaligh yang sangat piawai. Keterampilanya berceramah <br /> didapatkan sejak mengaji di surau. Setelah pelajaran mengaji biasanya <br /> diadakan latihan pidato di antara sesama santri di bawah bimbingan <br /> sang ustadz. "Saya mendapatkan pelajaran asal mau nyapu surau," <br /> katanya. <br /> <br /> Ketika aktif di Pelajar Islam Indonesia (PII) dan Pemuda Muhammadiyah <br /> tahun 1950-an Kosim sering menghimpun warga untuk pengajian. Tujuanya <br /> untuk melawan PKI. Itu dilaksanakan tidak kurang dari tujuh tahun <br /> lamanya, dari kota sampai ke pelosok. Untuk itu Kosim harus menumpang <br /> truk karena tidak ada biaya. Hasilnya luar biasa, "Sampai-sampai <br /> mereka yang punya anakpun masuk menjadi PII, padahal PII kan <br /> organisasi pelajar. Nggak apa-apa, asal tidak anggota PKI," tuturnya <br /> sambil tertawa. <br /> <br /> Cara itu membuat nama Kosim Nurseha semakin terkenal di berbagai <br /> kelompok pengajian. Ia juga mengajarkan bela diri. Kegiatan ini <br /> semakin mendapat sambutan masyarakat di Ambarawa. Namun kebencian dari <br /> orang-orang PKI semakin menggila. Sampai suatu ketika orang-orang PKI <br /> tidak sabar, mereka mendatangi penginapan Kosim untuk membunuhnya. <br /> "Meski saya pintar bela diri, saya akan mati malam itu. Jadi umur saya <br /> sekarang ini cuma sambungan," katanya dengan keharuan. <br /> <br /> Selain dikenal sebagai mubaligh Kosim juga dikenal sebagai <br /> olahragawan. Olahraga favoritnya bela diri dan renang. Hoby olahraga <br /> inilah yang nantinya mengantarkan dia jadi staf Rohis (Kerohanian <br /> Islam) AD yang namanya sekarang Disbintal AD. Karena sering latihan <br /> volly dengan tentara akhirnya mereka kenal dekat dengan Kosim, apalagi <br /> kegiatan pengajian Kosim sudah dikenal di mana-mana. Tahun 1960 Kosim <br /> diangkat oleh Syarbini dan ditetapkan langsung oleh KSAD Jenderal <br /> Achmad Yani. Karir Disbintal itu ia tunaikan hingga sekarang. <br /> <br /> Sabtu pagi pertengahan bulan lalu ketika janjian untuk wawancara kedua <br /> --dua hari sebelumnya bincang-bincang dilakukan di Radio Kayumanis <br /> Jakarta-- Kosim sudah ditunggu penjemputnya. Akhirnya wawancara <br /> dilakukan di mobil Sahid yang meluncur ke Bekasi, dilanjutkan ke Rumah <br /> Sakit Islam Jakarta Pondok Kopi untuk tabligh akbar, kemudian dalam <br /> perjalanan pulang ke Cibubur. Wawancara baru berakhir menjelang <br /> maghrib setelah menghabiskan nasi goreng kambing, air mineral sebotol, <br /> es strup, lemet singkong, dan kopi. Berikut petikannya. <br /> <br /> Anda kelihatan begitu marah soal uang panjar tadi? <br /> <br /> Marah sih tidak, saya hanya ingin mengingatkan cara begitu tidak <br /> mendidik. Kalau saya mau terima uang atau model begituan, kacau. <br /> Pernah datang orang Malaysia ke sini bawa uang segebok. Uang itu mau <br /> diberikan kepada saya asal bisa bertemu dengan Mas Bambang atau Mbak <br /> Tutut. Saya tidak mau. <br /> <br /> Adapun kalau selesai pengajian saya diberi HR, saya terima. Kalau saya <br /> tolak mungkin malah salah. Orang akan mengira, mentang-mentang Kosim <br /> dekat orang gede, sekarang diundang orang kecil yang kasih duit <br /> sedikit, tidak mau terima. Dalam suatu pengajian saya pernah dikasih <br /> HR Rp 10.000,- rupiah, saya terima dengan penuh syukur dan langsung <br /> saya belikan bensin, Insya Allah perjalanan saya selamat. Jangankan <br /> dikasih duit, melihat ibu-ibu setua itu mau ngaji saja, senangnya luar <br /> biasa. Kalau tidak diterima mereka bisa sakit hati, lantas tidak mau <br /> ngaji. Saya yang salah. <br /> <br /> Sering begitu? <br /> <br /> Tidak perlu bilang sering atau tidak. Yang penting bagi saya syiar <br /> makin semarak dan orang makin nikmat beragama. Kalau saya pengajian di <br /> mushalla yang belum jadi dan harus meninggalkan uang semen, akan saya <br /> lakukan. Bahkan sering saya harus carikan uang tambahan puluhan juta. <br /> Untung saya punya teman-teman seperti Mas Ponco (Ponco Sutowo, red) <br /> dan Bu Ponco. (Sahid juga menyaksi- kan dalam pengajian di RSIJ Pondok <br /> Kopi, Kosim memimpin hadirin untuk menyumbang pembangunan rumah <br /> sakit). <br /> <br /> Tapi kalau ada pejabat atau pengusaha yang mengundang saya, lantas <br /> saya harus tanda tangan untuk menerima HR, itu hal wajar sebagai <br /> penghargaan mereka pada saya. Yang peting tidak ada istighlal, <br /> dipaksa-paksakan. Mereka begitu karena mampu, dan menganggarkan, <br /> sementara duitnya ada. <br /> <br /> Apa yang Anda rasakan setelah menjadi pembimbing ruhani keluarga <br /> Presiden? <br /> <br /> Pembimbing ruhani keluarga Presiden bukan hanya saya. Terhadap posisi <br /> saya sekarang saya harus hati-hati, ada yang senang dan ada yang <br /> tidak. Misalnya, "Baru begitu sudah disebut kiai, ulama kondang dan <br /> lain-lain. Kiai kok seperti kintel (kodok, red)," begitu komentar <br /> orang. Jadi saya harus hati-hati. Wong ketika ada kiai yang disebut <br /> sebagai da'i sejuta ummat saja ada yang tidak senang. Saya mau disebut <br /> apa saja terserah. Janganlah saya disebut kiai, cukup Pak Kosim saja. <br /> <br /> Sebenarnya saya juga ingin sekali mendengarkan ceramah orang lain. <br /> Karena itu saya sering meminta anak buah menggantikan tugas saya <br /> ceramah. Kalau sudah begitu biasanya saya ke pinggiran kota, untuk <br /> mendengarkan khutbah dari kiai-kiai tua, bahkan saya sampai meneteskan <br /> air mata karena mereka orang-orang yang ikhlas. Saya biasanya melepas <br /> songkok dan kacamata kemudian duduk di deretan belakang. Sebab songkok <br /> dan kacamata menjadi trade merk saya. <br /> <br /> Keberadaan Anda sebagai kiai dan orang dekat keluarga Presiden sering <br /> dikaitkan dengan penampilan Anda, misalnya mobil Mercy, hand phone dan <br /> lainnya. Bagaimana komentar Anda? <br /> <br /> Saya ndak naik mercy juga ndak apa-apa Mas. Buktinya sekarang mau ikut <br /> mobil Anda, bahkan sambil sarapan. Saya juga sering dijemput dengan <br /> kendaraan biasa, saya malah senang karena mereka melakukan dengan <br /> ikhlas. Adapun mobil mercy itu pemberian dari anak angkat saya (H. <br /> Bambang Kotjo Sumpeno, red), dasarnya kasih sayang. Tidak ada hubungan <br /> kerja apa-apa. <br /> <br /> Mereka begitu karena tidak ingin melihat saya kecapekan di jalan, <br /> padahal saya sering pergi. Mercy saya yang dulu juga atas pemberian <br /> orang yang simpati pada saya, Pak Is Anwar, kepala suku Minang di <br /> Jakarta, Baby Benz 1987. Hubungan kerja apa saya dengan beliau? Ndak <br /> ada, Pak Is merasa bersimpati pada saya. Nah, mobil itu sekarang <br /> diganti dengan mobil dari anak angkat saya itu. Yang lama dipakai anak <br /> saya yang bontot. <br /> <br /> Anda makan cuma dengan tahu dan tempe? <br /> <br /> (Kosim tidak sempat sarapan di rumah, sambil wawancara di mobil ia <br /> menyantap sarapan paginya). Usia saya sudah kepala enam, saya harus <br /> menjaga dari hal-hal yang menimbulkan penyakit agar saya tetap <br /> bermanfaat untuk ummat. Setiap pagi biasanya saya jalan kaki, seminggu <br /> sekali renang. Tapi ini nggak, karena pagi-pagi sudah Anda jemput. <br /> Apalagi saya tadi malam pulang setengah dua belas dari rumah Pak <br /> Somala Wiria (Mantan Direktur BNI 46, red) untuk pengajian. Saya <br /> nyetir sendiri, karena sopir saya yang dari Mabes kakinya bengkak kena <br /> asam urat. Alhamdulillah saya masih kuat bawa mobil sendiri. Tiap <br /> Jum'at malam ada pengajian di rumah beliau. <br /> <br /> Ketika menghadiri pemakaman Bu Tien di Ndalem Kalitan, orang bilang, <br /> "Pak Kosim kalau berdiri kok cepat sekali, padahal badannya besar." <br /> Itu karena saya rajin olahraga. Kalau sepi atau malam saya masih <br /> sering mengulang jurus-jurus lama. Semasa di SGO saya belajar bela <br /> diri. Di Pemuda Muhammadiyah saya mengajar pencak silat. <br /> <br /> Ketika berlangsung pemakaman Bu Tien, Anda memperkenalkan tahlilan <br /> Sunan Kalijaga. Bagaiaman ceritanya? <br /> <br /> Tahlilan berasal dari kata hallala, yuhallilu, tahlilan artinya <br /> membaca, laa ilaha illallah. Tidak ada orang yang melarang bertahlil. <br /> Tentang tahlilan Sunan Kalijaga itu saya dapatkan ketika duduk di <br /> bangku Sekolah Guru Atas (SGA) tahun 1953. Saya belajar bahasa Jawa, <br /> yang mengajar adalah Bendoro Raden Mas Ki Rono Tjitrosantjoko, murid <br /> kesayangan keluarga Prof. Dr. Ki Purbatjaraka. Beliau ahli bahasa <br /> Jawa, Kawi, Sanskerta, Prancis, Jerman, hampir semua bahasa beliau <br /> bisa, apalagi Inggris dan Belanda. Begitu sayangnya kepada saya, <br /> beliau memanggil saya dengan 'Mas Nurseha'. Beliau bilang, "Wonten <br /> buku sae, monggo panjenengan waos." (Ini ada buku bagus, silakan <br /> dibaca, red.) Beliau tahu saya Islamnya kuat, karena dulu menjadi <br /> musuhnya PKI dan senang baca buku apa saja. Pak Rono tahu kalau saya <br /> sering didaulat teman sekelas untuk mengajar ketika guru tidak ada. <br /> Karena itu beliau kasih saya buku tentang Sunan Kalijaga, yang isinya <br /> tentang proses peng-Islaman tanah Jawa oleh Sunan Kalijaga. <br /> <br /> Lantas bagaimana? <br /> <br /> Di dalam buku itu disebutkan, kalau ada orang kumpul, Kanjeng Sunang <br /> Kalijaga biasanya membacakan kalimat-kalimat yang mengantar orang <br /> semakin dekat kepada Tuhan. Apalagi kalau orang sedang kesusahan, saat <br /> sensitivitas kepada Tuhan tinggi seklai. Karena itu dibacakanlah <br /> tahlil dan istighfar, seperti yang saya sampaikan di Ndalem Kalitan <br /> tempo hari. (Kosim lantas melantunkan bacaan tahlil itu, red.) <br /> <br /> Bahkan dalam buku itu dimuat pesan-pesan Kanjeng Sunan Kalijaga: orang <br /> jangan takut mati, tapi juga jangan takut hidup, sebab hidup merupakan <br /> bekal orang mati. Kanjeng Sunan Kalijaga juga menyusun tembang Kinanti <br /> (Kosim lantas melantunkan lagunya juga). "Ono tangis, layung-layung, <br /> tangise wong wedi mati, gedongono, kuncenono. Moso wurungo wong mati. <br /> Yo podo-podo suyung. Laa ilaha illallahu." Begitu lafalnya. (Ada <br /> tangis penuh rasa takut, tangis orang yang takut mati. Sekalipun di <br /> dalam gedung yang dikunci, tak bakal terhindar. Mari semua prihatin, <br /> ibunya sakit, mari semua prihatin dengan kalimat laa ilaha illallahu, <br /> red). <br /> <br /> Karena Anda menghadapi tradisi adat Jawa yang masih kental, maka cara <br /> Sunan Kalijaga masih relevan, begitu? <br /> <br /> Betapapun tradisi Jawa itu masih ada, jangan sampai dibabat. Sebab <br /> nanti malah banyak musuh, kan tidak menguntungkan, tapi juga jangan <br /> larut. Maka jalan tengahnya seperti yang dilakukan Sunan Kalijaga <br /> tadi. Kalau ada orang yang mati ingatkan yang hadir kepada Allah. Yang <br /> mati tetap akan membawa amalnya sendiri. Nah, tahlil yang kita baca <br /> itu untuk yang hidup. <br /> <br /> Nyatanya ada seorang menteri yang bilang, "Pak Kosim, saya yang hidup <br /> saja pingin mati, apalagi beliau yang wafat, apa ndak tenang," nangis <br /> dia. Tapi saya bilang, "Jangan ingin mati dulu, periode tugasnya belum <br /> selesai." Pak Fuad Hasan yang ada di sebelah saya mencolek saya, <br /> "Dasar dari dulu juga begitu." Pak Fuad memang suka berkelakar dengan <br /> saya. <br /> <br /> Acara yang berlangsung di kediaman Pak Harto mungkin akan ditiru <br /> masyarakat, mengingat budaya paternalistik kita sangat kuat? <br /> <br /> Tidak ada yang melarang orang membaca tahlil. Anda lihat yang <br /> diucapkan pada acara tahlilan kemarin kan berbeda dengan biasanya, <br /> bacaannya mudah diikuti orang umum. Lagi pula tidak ada bacaan <br /> macam-macam. Apa orang Muhammadiyah akan melarang tahlilan begini? Pak <br /> AR sendiri pernah diundang mimpin tahlilan di Kauman Semarang, beliau <br /> datang. Yang dibaca ya bacaan biasa seperti tadi. Tidak ada yang <br /> ribut-ribut. Yang penting akhlak pembawanya. <br /> <br /> Kalau tradisi peringatan 7 hari, 40 hari, 100 hari bagaimana <br /> menerangkannya? <br /> <br /> Itu memang usul saya. Apakah kita akan membiarkan Pak Harto dalam <br /> kesedihan dan kesendirian. Beliau bukan Ketua RT Mas, beliau tumpuan <br /> ratusan juta rakyat. Kalau pikirannya sedang blank lantas ada orang <br /> yang memanfaatkan, yang rugi siapa? Ini yang kita jaga sejak awal. <br /> Lantas kita adakan khataman Qur'an, ada dari PTIQ. Setidak-tidaknya <br /> dengan bacaan al- Qur'an orang jadi lain. Daripada baca mocopat. <br /> Alhamdulillah beliau sudah dapat menunaikan tugasnya kembali. <br /> <br /> Saya juga minta kepada putra-putranya untuk selalu menemani beliua <br /> ngobrol di ruang tamu, misalnya. Kalau kelihatan sudah capek baru <br /> dipersilakan tidur. Dengan demikian beliau tidak menyesal punya anak <br /> cucu seperti mereka. Dan putra-putranyapun senang. <br /> <br /> Bagaimana peran Ibu Tien dalam tugas Pak Harto? <br /> <br /> Terus-terang saya tidak tahu persis, tapi yang jelas Bu Tien sangat <br /> memperhatikan apa yang dikerjakan Pak Harto, jangan sampai salah, <br /> apalagi salah fatal. Bu Tien sangat memperhatikan kepentingan ummat. <br /> Beliau merasakan penderitaan rakyat karena beliau adalah istri <br /> pejuang. Beliau juga sering melakukan hal-hal yang bermanfaat untuk <br /> ummat. Seperti apa sih dulu ributnya pembangunan Taman Mini Indonesia <br /> Indah, sekarang semua orang merasa membutuhkan. Demikian juga <br /> museumnya sekarang orang merasa senang, bahkan ada museum <br /> Baitul-Qur'an. <br /> <br /> Apa yang menarik bagi Anda tentang Bu Tien dan keluarganya? <br /> <br /> Beliau-beliau itu orang yang sabar. Dari dulu selalu mengajarkan <br /> putra-putrinya untuk mengaji. Tapi ada saja fitnah yang muncul, <br /> misalnya dikatakan Bu Tien itu Katolik, apalagi setelah beliau <br /> mendapat hadiah rosario dari Paus, geger seperti apa waktu itu. Tapi <br /> kalau orang dikasih tahu bahwa Bu Tien itu Islam, shalat, komentar <br /> yang datang malah sebaliknya. "Iya wong dia (Kosim, red) itu antheknya <br /> Cendana." Begitu. <br /> <br /> Jadi meninggalnya Bu Tien sangat besar pengaruhnya pada Pak Harto? <br /> <br /> Ya mesti toh Mas. Beliau bukan sekadar istri tapi juga teman dalam <br /> menyelesaikan masalah baik sebagai pribadi, panglima, sampai jadi <br /> presiden. Itu istri, garwo: sigarane nyowo (separoh dari nyawa, red.) <br /> Rasulullah saja ketika ditinggal mati anaknya Ibrahim, menangis. Maka <br /> dimandikannya Ibrahim di pangkuannya. Sampai Umar setengah mencela, <br /> "Nabi, ditinggal mati anaknya saja kok menangis." "Ya Umar, ini adalah <br /> air mata rahmat." Tahun kematian Khadijah disebut aamul huzni, tahun <br /> duka cita. Ini Nabi. Apalagi Pak Harto, menusia biasa. <br /> <br /> Apa implikasi meninggalnya Bu Tien? <br /> <br /> Saya tidak tahu. Tapi menurut Amien Rais kan ada dua kelompok yang <br /> tidak senang dengan Pak Harto. Pertama, mereka yang dulu menikmati <br /> hasil pembangunan tapi sekarang tidak ikut tampil. Kedua, kelompok <br /> yang kebelet melihat suksesi. Tapi Amien Rais mensinyalir dua-duanya <br /> tidak akan terjadi. Persoalan di PDI, NU, LBH, MA saya lihat bukan <br /> masalah besar. Tapi kalau ABRI sudah pecah, maka negara dan rakyat <br /> dalam bahaya besar. <br /> <br /> Anda lihat apakah perpecahan itu memang ada? <br /> <br /> Ada gejala rakyat mulai berani kepada ABRI. Dulu PKI kan begitu. <br /> Ketika ABRI mulai takut lantas diperalat PKI, sekarang orang <br /> memperalat oknum ABRI dengan uang ataupun politik. <br /> <br /> Apakah ketertarikan keluarga Cendana pada ceramah Anda karena ada <br /> kecocokan dalam materi ceramah dalam idiom-idiom Jawa? <br /> <br /> Ya, mungkin juga, saya tidak berani mengatakan begitu. Tapi saya rasa, <br /> meskipun sama-sama Jawa tapi kalau perilakunya menjengkelkan, siapa <br /> sudi. Saya rasa karena kebutuhan fitrahnya terpenuhi. Sejak itu <br /> kemudian putera-putri beliau diminta memanggil saya, "Mbok ya jangan <br /> cari duit terus." Begitulah kira-kira beliau. <br /> <br /> Bagaimana perasaan Anda ketika pertama kali mendapat tawaran dari <br /> utusan Bu Tien? <br /> <br /> Berat, sungguh berat! Saya minta waktu dua minggu untuk konsultasi <br /> dengan ulama dan orang-orang yang mengabdi di Setneg serta para orang <br /> tua yang pernah mengabdi di Cendana. Mereka semua bilang, "Kamu akan <br /> bisa." Maka bismillah tugas itu saya tunaikan. Alhamdulillah Pak Harto <br /> akhirnya berkenan menunaikan ibadah hajji. <br /> <br /> Anda dan KH. Mashuri Syahid MA disebut sebagai orang yang membuat <br /> tuntunan pemahaman dan pengamalan Islam pada keluarga Pak Harto, <br /> bagaimana ceritanya? <br /> <br /> Jangan disebut semua seakan-akan dari saya. Pak Harto itu kan <br /> backgroundnya Muhammadiyah, putra-putrinya sejak kecil sudah mengaji. <br /> Guru ngajinya ada yang sudah wafat, dan ada yang masih hidup. Cuma <br /> kemudian agak terputus. Lalu mulai lagi setelah ada kita-kita ini. <br /> <br /> Bimbingan apa yang pertama kali Anda berikan kepada putra- putri <br /> Presiden? <br /> <br /> Ya akhlak to Mas, dengan contoh-contoh. Pertama kali yang dilihat <br /> orang adalah akhlaknya. Dan itu dimulai dari yang ngajar dulu. <br /> <br /> Ketika membandingkan Islam dengan Pancasila, Anda mengatakan Islam <br /> lebih tinggi. Sebagai orang yang dekat dengan Presiden, bagaimana Anda <br /> bisa mengatakannya tanpa beban? <br /> <br /> Lho, saya malah heran, mengapa orang lain kok risi mengatakan itu. <br /> Semua jelas, Pancasila itu ra'yu, hasil kesepakatan manusia, yang <br /> kebenarannya tergantung pada kesepakatan manusia. Sedang Islam itu <br /> wahyu yang tidak terbatas dimensi ruang dan waktu. <br /> <br /> Apakah tidak takut mengurangi penghargaan kepada Pancasila yang selama <br /> ini dianggap agung? <br /> <br /> Pancasila memang agung, selama masih dibenarkan manusia. Tapi kalau <br /> kesepakatannya itu tidak ada, ya tidak lagi. Kalau PKI yang yang <br /> berkuasa misalnya, Pancasila jadi salah. Tapi karena Pancasila tidak <br /> bertentangan dengan Islam, maka Islam mendukung Pancasila. Bahwa kita <br /> menempatkan Islam lebih tinggi, memang harus begitu. Saya dulu kan <br /> lulusaan terbaik nomor tiga BP 7, Mas. Mestinya nomor satu, tapi <br /> karena alasan politis jadi nomor tiga, yang nomor satu Iwan Jaya Azis. <br /> Tapi di Hankam saya lulusan nomor satu, ha..., ha..., ha... <br /> <br /> Sebagian orang berpendapat ulama yang dekat penguasa itu jelek, malah <br /> ada hadits yang menyebutkan sebagai pencuri agama. <br /> <br /> Hadits itu konteksnya untuk ulama yang mencari muka pada penguasa yang <br /> jelek. Tapi nyatanya kan ada penguasa alim, misalnya Umar bin Abdul <br /> Azis, Umar bin Khaththab. Tapi kalau ada umara yang baik dan ulamanya <br /> berniat baik, maka yang datang adalah rahmat Allah. Ada juga umaranya <br /> jelek, tapi kalau ulamanya ikhlas sampai akhirnya umaranya menjadi <br /> baik, ini juga rahmat. Tapi tetap ada ulama yang berhati iri dan <br /> dengki, kok tidak saya yang dekat dengan beliau, saya kan lebih... <br /> <br /> Bagaimana kalau ada ulama yang aibnya dibuka melalui media massa? <br /> <br /> Bukan hanya ulama, terhadap aib siapa saja, Islam mengajarkan untuk <br /> menutupi. Eh, ini malah jadi bahan bisnis informasi. Saya tidak <br /> membela siapapun, tetapi berpihak pada yang benar. Ada cara yang lebih <br /> baik. Lihatlah ummat lain, mereka tidak ribut-ribut, padahal skandal <br /> begitu kan ada. Tapi mereka tidak gembar-gembor. <br /> <br /> Mungkin maksudnya agar yang bersangkutan insyaf dan mencegah <br /> berkembang kemaksiatan. <br /> <br /> Dia memang salah. Tapi kalau dia dipanggil kemudian diberikan nasehat <br /> baik-baik, kenapa sih. Ini malah jadi ajang bisnis. Bayangkan kalau <br /> yang diungkap itu aib anak perempuan, atau saudara Anda, bagaimana <br /> rasanya. Saya tidak membela siapapun. Sebelum munculnya kasus itu, <br /> saya pernah peringatkan yang bersangkutan, "Hati-hati banyak yang <br /> tidak senang Anda. Anda masih muda tapi sudah tenar, mobilnya <br /> ganti-ganti BMW, Pajero, mental belum siap. Kemarin mobilmu sudah <br /> ditembak orang." Jangankan begitu, misalnya Anda pitheten (cacat <br /> dipipi, red), kemudian di depan orang banyak saya bilang, "He! Kamu <br /> kok pitheten," meskipun itu benar, obyektif, tapi tidak normatif. Anda <br /> mungkin bilang, "Pak Kosim belum pernah digolok ya?" Tapi kalau <br /> bilang, "Mas saya punya dokter ahli bedah plastik, kita ke sana yuk." <br /> Tanpa bilang pitheten, Anda ngerti maksud saya dan mungkin lebih <br /> mengena. <br /> <br /> Bercampurnya nilai Jawa dan Islam mestinya hanya pada masa transisi, <br /> tapi sekarang malah semakin berkembang. <br /> <br /> Segalanya mesti melalui proses. Kita harus menghitung matematika <br /> psikologis, sosiologis, dan matematika antropologis. Yang namanya <br /> aqiqah misalnya, dulu merupakan tradisi jahiliyah, tapi oleh Nabi <br /> di-Islamkan, malah jadi syariat. Bagaimana Kanjeng Sunan Kalijaga <br /> memvisualkan nasehat dan doa-doa pada acara per- kawinan misalnya. <br /> 'Gapura' yang berasal dari 'ghafura' mendidik agar undangan mendoakan <br /> dan memintakan ampunan pengantin. 'Padi' menasehatkan agar sang <br /> penganten jangan sampai kekurangan pangan. 'Gedang' (pisang, red); <br /> digeget padang, menasehatkan agar rejeki yang didapatkan jangan <br /> langsung dihabiskan, tapi sebagian dita- bung. 'Cengkir' kencenge <br /> pikir, memperingatkan akan kematangan berpikir pada kedua pihak, sebab <br /> berkeluarga bukan peristiwa sesaat. 'Tebu' mantepe kalbu, mantapnya <br /> hati, sebab sekarang masih ganteng dan ayu, tapi nanti jadi <br /> kakek-nenek keriput. Lantas semua itu tidak ada artinya sebelum adanya <br /> 'janur kuning'. Janur berasal dari Nur artinya cahaya, kuning <br /> maksudnya Ning artinya bening. <br /> <br /> Jadi simbol-simbol itu masih perlu? <br /> <br /> Masih perlu ada. Wong sekarang semua orang ngomong juga simbolis. <br /> <br /> Menarik sekali ceramah Anda tentang rumah tangga tadi. Tapi sekarang <br /> banyak kondisi berubah sehingga mempengaruhi struktur dalam rumah <br /> tangga. <br /> <br /> Ada faktor internal dan eksternal. Internal, itu menyangkut <br /> kepribadian istri yang telah dibentuk oleh pendidikan dan pengaruh <br /> agama. Kalau istri tidak menempatkan suami sebagaimana mestinya, <br /> artinya penghayatan terhadap agama masih rendah, meskipun ia pintar, <br /> shalat, hajji dan lain- lain., ya repot. Agama tidak hanya 'how to <br /> know' tapi juga 'how to do' yaitu menanamkan nilai-nilai pada diri <br /> sendiri. Shalat, puasa dan hajji tidak menjamin seseorang menjadi <br /> shalihah. Faktor eksternal karena pengaruh lingkungan, teman sekerja, <br /> pergaulan, dan sebagainya ikut punya andil. <br /> <br /> Dalam surah an-Nisa Allah berfirman, ar-rijalu qawwamuuna 'alan-nisaa, <br /> laki-laki bertanggungjawab atas wanita. Yang berkewajiban mencari <br /> nafkah dan menghidupi keluarga adalah suami, kalau toh istri bekerja <br /> itu sifatnya membantu. Bahwa rejeki suami seberapa, itu urusan Allah. <br /> Meskipun jabatan dan gaji istri lebih tinggi, tidak diperkenankan <br /> memandang rendah suami. Status istri tetap istri, karena jabatan tidak <br /> mengubah status. Jangan sampai kelebihan yang dikaruniakan Allah <br /> menyebabkan seseorang menjadi superior dibanding yang lain. <br /> <br /> Bisa diceritakan tentang masa muda Anda? <br /> <br /> Saya pernah aktif di PII, karena aspirasi PII pada ummat Islam. Saat <br /> itu kita berusaha untuk membendung pengaruh PKI dan underbownya <br /> seperti BTI, Lekra, Serikat Buruh, dan sebagainya. Saking asyiknya <br /> ngurus PPI sampai lupa pulang. Pengaruh PKI kita lawan dengan <br /> pengajian dan training- training se-wilayah Ambarawa. Kita pakai jaket <br /> merah, namanya brigade PII, bangga sekali ketika itu. <br /> <br /> Bagaimana bentuk kebencian PKI saat itu? <br /> <br /> Suatu malam penginapan saya didatangi oleh orang-orang PKI. Waktu itu <br /> saya sudah menjadi wakil kepala sekolah SR. Saya mau dibunuh. Mereka <br /> teriak-teriak, "Keluarkan Mas guru." Itu panggilan saya. Di dalam <br /> rumah ada saya dan teman, Mohammad Kafi. Saya sudah pasrah. Tapi <br /> alhamdulillah Allah menakdirkan lain. Itu terjadi tahun 1958. <br /> <br /> Orang tua nggak khawatir? <br /> <br /> Orang tua marah-marah karena saya tidak mau ngurusi diri sendiri dan <br /> tidak mau dikawinkan. Tahun 1959 saya jadi kepala sekolah, karena <br /> kepala sekolah sebelumnya pensiun. Saat itu saya disuruh kawin oleh <br /> orang tua bersamaan dengan Dekrit Presiden, 5 Juli 1959. Habis kawin <br /> aktif lagi di PII, bahkan lebih banyak ngurus PII dari pada anak. <br /> Habis, kalau training bulan puasa, menjelang lebaran baru pulang. Ndak <br /> sempat bikin anak. Orang tua marah-marah. Akhirnya kita mikir, sebab <br /> tidak punya apa-apa, sawah tidak punya, rumah kontrak. <br /> <br /> Tahun 1959 ingin ke kota sekolah lagi, tapi tidak boleh, akhirnya <br /> keluar dari kepala sekolah. Lantas sekolah di Sekolah Pendidikan <br /> Djasmani, milik IKIP, waktu itu Undip masih swasta. Naik tingkat II <br /> bergabung dengan FKIP jurusan Pendidikan Djasmani Undip. Dan pada <br /> tingkat III menjadi asisten dosen di FKIP. Ketika lulus sarjana muda <br /> namanya berubah lagi menjadi Sekolah Tinggi Olahraga karena ada <br /> Menteri Olahraga Pak Maladi. <br /> <br /> Saya juga pernah bekerja di berbagai tempat, di antaranya mengajar di <br /> Akademi Minyak dan Gas, Universitas Islam Sultan Agung (Unisula) <br /> Semarang. Ketika mengajar di Unisula saya juga kuliah di Fakultas <br /> Hukum, tapi nggak selesai. <br /> <br /> Nilai apa yang Anda dapatkan semasa aktif di PII? <br /> <br /> Kita menjadi orang yang punya cita-cita dan jati diri karena mendapat <br /> celupan Islamiyah. Waktu itu kita anti-pemerintah Orde Lama karena <br /> pemerintah pro-PKI. Tapi sejak Orde Baru kita pro-Orde Baru. Kita <br /> luwes, karena ngerti politik. Waktu jaman PKI kita ikut mengejar <br /> Aidit, ketika bersembunyi di rumah Gushadi di kebun singkong. Waktu <br /> itu kita mengatasnamakan dari Brigade PII. Makanya kita kenal baik <br /> dengan tokoh RPKAD. Dengan Pak Sarwo Edi Wibowo kita akrab. Dari dulu <br /> saya sering ikut perang, bahkan pernah ditangkap Belanda dan <br /> dipenjarakan. <br /> <br /> Bagaimana perasaan Anda ketika PII dibubarkan? <br /> <br /> PII bubar karena ada orang yang campur tangan, dan mereka ingin PII <br /> bubar dengan cara agar tetap tidak mau Pancasila sebagai asas tunggal <br /> ketika itu. Saya sangat sedih. <br /> <br /> Anda sering bilang terbatas ngomong, karena dekat dengan Presiden. <br /> Memang ada himbauan begitu atau mau Anda sendiri? <br /> <br /> Ini merupakan disiplin militer. Dalam militer apa yang tidak <br /> diperintahkan jangan dilakukan. Apalagi menyangkut diri orang lain. <br /> Lagi pula saya ingin 'mikul dhuwur mendhem jero'. Bagaimanapun Pak <br /> Harto adalah bapak kami dan Bu Tien adalah ibu kami. Saya merasa <br /> beliau sangat memperhatikan kamiUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-47921723914398240552011-01-20T11:27:00.000-08:002011-01-20T11:36:49.451-08:00<span id="goog_1414301617"></span><span id="goog_1414301618"></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-64232354569039745992011-01-20T11:24:00.000-08:002011-01-20T11:48:27.858-08:00Who is after fashion designer schools<p>There are probably tons of people who can roughly tell a few things about the fashion designer school.

Christie Gets to Work on Education ReformEarlier in January, at his <a href="http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/01/full_text_of_gov_christies_sta.html">State of the State Address</a>, Gov. Chris Christie took aim at NJ's education crisis. "Perhaps the biggest thing of all for the future of our State," Christie stated, referring to education reform. The outspoken NJ Governor pointed out the success of the Robert Treat Academy, a successful charter school in Newark. In addition to the six new charter schools approved this year, an additional <a href="http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20110118/UPDATES01/110118010/-1/UPDATES0101/Christie-administration-OKs-23-charter-schools-">23 more</a> are slated for development, bringing the total number in the state to 99.<br /><br />Christie has made charter schools and school choice a centerpiece to his education reform plan. In fact, just yesterday the Governor introduced the documentary, <a href="http://www.waitingforsuperman.com/">Waiting For "Superman,"</a> to lawmakers at a NJ screening. After the film, <a href="http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/news/local_news/christie-brings-'superman'-plan-to-nj">Christie announced a partnership</a> with Harlem Children's Zone, the charter school featured in the film. <br /><br />But charters and school choice are not the only changes he would like to initiate.<br /><br />At his State of the State address, Christie said, "The time for a national conversation on tenure is long past due." The notion of tenure reform is already a polarizing idea, but Gov. Christie seems prepared to eliminate tenure altogether. "Teaching," he stated, "can no longer be the only profession where you have no rewards for excellence and no consequences for failure to perform."<br /><br />As he takes on education reform in New Jersey, the whole nation is no doubt paying attention to what Gov. Christie does...and the results he ends up with. Will his reliance on charter schools be the answer NJ needs? And if successful, can those results be replicated in other states? Is cutting tenure and rewarding good teachers an effective route to education reform? Tell me what you think about Chris Christie and his plan for reforming education in NJ.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-71498943660073526862011-01-20T10:31:00.000-08:002011-01-20T11:36:49.482-08:00rukyatul hilalhttp://rukyatulhilal.org/software/index.htmlUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913425090018126507.post-36512142212031901012011-01-20T09:52:00.000-08:002011-01-20T11:38:05.666-08:00Guest Blogger Morgan Polotan wants you to know, "It's Not About Spending, Dammit!"<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BqRHlZQYDak" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe><br /><br />In the above video, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) made a lot of noise with his promise to cut $100 billion in government spending per year over 10 years, for total cuts of $1 trillion. However, when reporters in the above video asked what Boehner was going to do in regards to Social Security and Medicare, he slipped into political double-speak, claiming that, "we should have an adult conversation [on entitlement programs]" and that, "if we show we can work with the American people, I believe they will want to work with us." This weak attitude on spending was shared by other House Republicans, who scaled back their promised spending cuts by half, to only <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/05/us/politics/05fiscal.html">$50 billion per year</a>.<br /><br />The fact is, Social Security and Medicare are the two biggest non-defense spending items in the federal budget. See the below pie chart:<br /><br /><a href="http://morganpolotan.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/us-budget-2010.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-383" title="us budget 2010" src="http://morganpolotan.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/us-budget-2010.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="360" /></a><br /><br />Social Security and Medicare together made up 32.42% of our federal budget in 2009. Add in Medicaid, SCHIP, welfare and unemployment benefits, and the figure increases to over 56.74%, or a total of almost $2 trillion dollars. Any "adult conversation" politicians want to have about federal spending must include ways to decrease or eliminate the welfare state.<br /><br />The only way to end the welfare state and truly solve our budgetary problems is to make the case on moral, not political grounds. Politicians should be clear that using force to confiscate wealth from one group and transfer it to another group is immoral and violates individual rights. Every human being possesses the right to life, liberty, and property, which are his only tools for survival. Redistribution of wealth via taxation violates one's right to property, and should not be allowed. If tomorrow I robbed Bill Gates to give to senior citizens, I would be rightly arrested for theft. Why is it any different if the government does it?<br /><br />Until we muster the nerve to challenge traditional entitlement programs on a moral basis, the government will continue to spend money it doesn't have and bring the country ever closer to economic collapse.<br /><br />What do you think? Is the welfare state justified and off the table when it comes to budget cuts?
