In Time



The year is 2161. Genetic alteration has allowed humanity to develop a system where individuals stop aging 25 years after birth. Due to over-population concerns, 'living time' has replaced money as the standard currency and people must acquire more time through labor and commercial means after turning 25 years of age, or die within a year. The amount of living time one has left is represented by a clock embedded on their arms like a wristwatch, and when that clock reaches 13 zeros (0000:00:0:00:00:00), they will die instantly. Each social class lives in a different area called a 'Time Zone'. The poor live in the ghettos of Dayton and work each day to earn a few more hours of life, which they must also use to pay for everyday necessities. The rich live in the luxurious New Greenwich, and can live for centuries to millennia based on how much time they have acquired.

Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) is a 28-year-old factory worker who lives with his 50-year old mother Rachel (Olivia Wilde) in the ghettos. One day, Will and his best friend Borel (Johnny Galecki) visit a bar and encounter 105-year-old Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer), who has more than a century on his clock and flaunts his time around by purchasing everyone drinks. Hamilton is attacked by Fortis (Alex Pettyfer), the 75-year old mobster boss of a gang called the Minutemen, who are infamous for stealing other people's time by force. Will helps Hamilton escape the confrontation and leads him to shelter at an abandoned factory, where Hamilton tells Will that there's enough time for everyone, but it is being stockpiled for the rich to use in becoming immortal. An upset Will argues that no one should die before their time naturally ends so that others may live, upon which Hamilton describes how he is tired of being alive.

Later that night, Hamilton transfers his remaining time to Will while he is asleep and commits suicide by climbing a bridge as his time expires. Once his time is gone, he falls into the river below. Will arrives too late to save him, realizes he has been filmed by a nearby surveillance camera, and flees the area. Hamilton's body is found by the resident police force, the Timekeepers, who deploy veteran Timekeeper Raymond Leon (Cillian Murphy) to capture Will, who is now believed to have stolen Hamilton's time, then kill him.

Will awaits his mother at a bus station to tell her about his newly gained wealth, only to discover that she didn't have enough time to pay for her usual bus ride after the price suddenly increased. He rushes down the street to find her. They encounter each other on foot, and as she runs and leaps into his arms, her time expires before her son can help her and she dies in his arms. Remembering what Hamilton had told him about the inequity of the time system, Will decides to seek revenge. He visits Borel and gives him a decade's worth of time as a friendship gift, and leaves for New Greenwich with over a century on his clock. Upon arrival, he enters a casino, where he meets a 90-year old millionaire, time-loaning businessman Phillipe Weis (Vincent Kartheiser) and his 27-year-old daughter Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried). Sylvia becomes interested in Will after a tense gambling table showdown where Will beats her father in poker with only seconds to spare on his clock, and she invites Will to a party at her father's mansion.

At the mansion, Will is apprehended by Leon, who confiscates most of his time before Will is able to escape by taking Sylvia hostage. He attempts to return to the ghetto with her; however, his car is ambushed by Fortis, destroying the car in an attack which renders them unconscious. Fortis discovers that Will was in possession of Hamilton's time, but is disappointed to learn that Will has no significant amount of time on him, due to having most of it confiscated by the Timekeepers. As consolation, he steals most of Sylvia's, forced to leave about half an hour on her clock as the approaching Timekeepers scare him away from the scene. Will returns to consciousness and gives Sylvia some of his remaining time so they can return to his old neighborhood. They first visit Borel to retrieve some time Will gave him earlier as their time is running out soon, only to find out from Borel's grief-stricken wife that he had drunk himself to death with 9 years on his clock. Sylvia pawns her jewelry for a meager price of 2 days. Finding themselves shelter later, Will makes a call to Weis demanding a 1,000 years' ransom for Sylvia, to be distributed to the people of the ghetto. Leon traces Will's location from his phone call, and heads to Dayton in pursuit.

The following day, as Will prepares to release Sylvia, he discovers that Weis did not pay the ransom, but Will decides to let Sylvia go regardless. Leon appears and almost kills Will, but is shot in the shoulder by Sylvia. Will then transfers two hours of time to the disarmed Leon so that he is able to walk out of Dayton before he "clocks out". Will and Sylvia escape in Leon's car. Later, Will tells her that she still has a chance to walk away from the situation, but she decides to remain by his side, saying there is no purpose to the life she once had in New Greenwich. The couple then kiss. They begin a series of Time Bank robberies while evading Leon and the Timekeepers, stealing the Time Capsules which store time and distributing them to the poor, with a bounty of 10 years on their heads. Fortis eventually tracks down Will and Sylvia a second time, and challenges Will to a Time Fight. Will dominates the fight by using the technique he learned from his late father and kills the remaining Minutemen while Fortis dies, his time transferred to Will.

However, Will and Sylvia soon realize their previous efforts were futile, as the rich have the ability to simply increase the cost of living in the ghettos to maintain the status quo. They devise a plan to steal a million years from Weis' private headquarters. Will and Sylvia steal Weis' one million year Time Capsule and escape the facility. The Timekeepers form a blockade to stop them, but Will and Sylvia manage to break through and reach Dayton. Upon arrival, Leon crashes his car into Will's, but Will is able to hand the Time Holder to a young girl, who distributes the time among the people. Leon eventually catches up with Will and Sylvia outside the city, holding them at gunpoint. Will jokingly asks Leon to return some of the time he previously loaned him so that they can survive till their executions, but Leon realizes that he had neglected to replenish his own time before going after them, and dies. Will and Sylvia are left with seconds to live, but Will runs to Leon's car and takes his allotted time, and transfers it to Sylvia seconds before she is about to die, a scene mirroring his mother's death.

Will and Sylvia continue robbing banks as part of their efforts to crash the system, now with a bounty of 100 years on their heads, while the rich attempt to cope with the sudden surge of new rich people arriving from the ghettos.

The Social Network


Last winter, Gabriela, now fourteen, was expecting to attend her friend Sarah's* thirteenth-birthday weekend in New York City. "In front of my whole family, she said that it'd be so fun and we'd have a blast if I came," recalls Gabriela, a high school freshman in Newark, Delaware. But the official invite never arrived, and Gabriela promptly forgot about it—until the Monday in February when a group of her friends returned to school after spending the weekend in the Big Apple. Gabriela was shocked and hurt that she'd been excluded. "What happened? You told me straight up I was coming. This isn't right," she told Sarah. "Sarah said, 'We took a vote. I wanted you to come, but everybody else didn't,'" Gabriela says. "I didn't want to cry in front of her, so I waited until I got home."

While periodically dealing with exclusion is a part of life, to many teens, certain public slights feel overwhelmingly painful. "It's heartbreaking to not feel included," says John Duffy, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist. "It makes you feel like you don't have a place and you don't really know who you are."

When all of your friends have been included except you, it can seem extremely isolating, notes eighteen-year-old Nicole, from Marlboro, New Jersey. "When you hear that a friend is having a party and you realize you weren't invited, it's a slap in the face," she says. "It makes you feel not wanted."

But why does exclusion suddenly feel like a huge issue when you reach middle school and high school—and why does it hurt so much? "When we hit the teen years," Duffy explains, "we define ourselves far more in a social context instead of a family context and look to friends instead of relatives for approval. Our self-worth is derived in large part from how we fit in with our peer group. We think a lot about what other people think of us; our big fear is that they don't."

Olivia, a nineteen-year-old in Alpharetta, Georgia, faced that fear one Friday afternoon this past spring. "I was on Facebook when my news feed updated, and I saw a picture of my good friend Amanda* and everyone I hang out with celebrating Amanda's birthday at a restaurant," the college freshman recalls. "I was in shock. Why didn't she just text me? These are the people I see all the time," she says.

She commented "Why wasn't I invited?" on the photo, and Amanda immediately responded that it was an accident; the birthday dinner had spontaneously come together earlier that day. It was cold comfort to Olivia. "When I saw that on Facebook, I felt like a loser," she says. "By commenting on that party photo, I was announcing to every one of my friends who were tagged: 'I wasn't there, and I want to know why.'"

Facebook, Twitter, and other forms of social media can make these experiences of exclusion immeasurably worse: You can see exactly what your friends are doing at all times, with or without you. "Past generations of teens have experienced this—rejection, feeling like an outsider," says Georgia Michalopoulou, Ph.D., chief of staff of the Child Psychiatry and Psychology division of the Children's Hospital of Michigan. "But it's much more of a problem now. Before, if a friend betrayed your trust, only that one friend knew about it. Now a whole group of people knows." Adds Olivia: "On Facebook, you want everyone to know that you're out and about doing something—you're not home alone updating your Facebook status."

Social self-worth is, for some girls, a public numbers game, Duffy says. "The more people we are approved by, the better we feel about ourselves." So seeing how much fun others are having via your Facebook feed could easily make you think that you're left out of everything—even things you don't necessarily care about.
But it's definitely worse if you're close friends with the person who excluded you, says Katie, a fourteen-year-old high school freshman. After a big eighth-grade dance last year, the Louisville, Kentucky, native went home and immediately logged on to Facebook. "I saw tons of pictures of my friends getting ready for the dance together," she says. "They had a little predance party and didn't tell me. It was so upsetting because I was good friends with [the host], and I saw people there who don't really talk to her. It's like, OK, she's not going to invite me, but she'll invite people she doesn't really know? It made me feel really bad, like there was something wrong with me."

Olivia admits to experiencing a similar sense of paranoia: "I worried at the beginning that I'd been excluded on purpose," she says. "I thought, Was this planned? Did I do something? I even went back and checked my text messages to see what we'd talked about in the last week."

The best way to deal with feeling left out, say Duffy and Michalopoulou, is to try to modify your reaction to exclusion—since many teens experience it so often and it's impossible to be invited to everything. That's what helped Nicole. "At first I felt like, Oh, poor me, my life sucks," she says. "But then I heard stories from different friends about not being invited somewhere, and I thought, OK, these things just happen. As upset as I was, I know in a few years it won't mean anything to me. And for now I'll hang out with my other friends who care about me and wouldn't exclude me."

Another way to protect yourself from serious postexclusion hurt: Focus on the quality of your friendships. For one thing, having hundreds of Facebook friends or tons of real-life acquaintances isn't as fulfilling as fostering close friendships with people you can trust, Duffy says. "You can be hanging out with 50 people on a Friday night, online or otherwise, and feel lonely," he says, "or be with two and feel great." Michalopoulou adds that it's good to have friends in different groups too: "Develop friendships that aren't just based on status," she suggests. Instead, "form relationships with other kids who have similar interests and hobbies."

And if it's your BFF who excluded you, like in Katie's story? Talk it out with an adult you trust, and if your relationship with your friend has been good so far, ask her—offline—why she excluded you, Michalopoulou says. "Address it face-to-face, not over the Internet." Gabriela says that in her situation, Sarah, who had the New York birthday weekend, apologized to her a few different times after everything happened. Though Gabriela was hesitant to trust her again, she eventually believed Sarah's feelings of remorse were honest. "I forgave her and the other girls, and I felt like the bigger person," she says.

While being left out can be devastating, girls say there's often an upside—the experience makes you more compassionate toward and understanding of others. Olivia doesn't post her whereabouts on Facebook if she's going somewhere that's not an open invite; Gabriela says that she's now much more inclusive. "There are times when there's that one person you don't want to invite—but I still do," she says.
It's also worth remembering that your social circle shouldn't dictate how you feel about yourself. "Don't internalize negative comments. Try to make your own decisions about things," says Michalopoulou. "It's important to remember that you can't change how people behave, but you can change the way you deal with these situations."

Exclusion can surely lay bare the cracks in your friendship—but it can also make it clear who your true allies are. Being left out, Nicole says, "made me realize that the girls who've excluded me aren't my good friends. It's kind of like a blessing in disguise. It helps you let go of people who aren't healthy for you."

Benches Break At Balenciaga Show


Siapa yang menyangka kalo kejadian seperti ini akan menimpa salah satu rumah mode terkenal di Paris, yang sedang menggelar fashion show, dengan tamu-tamu penting pada deretan front row
Yup, kayaknya nggak pernah kebayang deh kalo undangan VVIP mendadak harus berdiri pada saat fashion show dimulai!? Kejadian ini benar-benar terjadi lho pada saat Balenciaga Show untuk Spring 2012, pada event Paris Fashion Week, hari Kamis minggu lalu (29 September). 
Kejadian yang membuat heboh berbagai media ini berawal ketika deretan bangku dibagian depan tiba-tiba patah, dan membuat ‘orang-orang penting’ tersebut terpaksa harus berdiri selama fashion show digelar. OMG! Masalahnya tamu-tamu VVIP yang berdiri ini adalah memang tamu-tamu yang diundang secara khusus. Mulai dari Kate Lanphear-nya Elle, Eric Wilson-nya The New York Time’s, Hamish Bowles, Grace Coddington, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Salma Hayek dan suaminya; Francois Henry Pinault, Catherine Deneuve & Isabelle Hupert. Dan yang cukup mengagetkan, Anna Wintour pun menjadi salah satu undangan yang ikut berdiri. O-ow!! Dari kejadian ini, banyak pihak berkomentar kalo insiden ini sangat memalukan, terutama bagi rumah mode asal Perancis ini.

Kejadian bermula ketika dua bersaudara Vanessa dan Victoria Traina, yang tidak lain adalah anak dari sang novelis Danielle Steel merasa curiga dengan bangku yang sedang mereka duduki. Mereka berdua spontan langsung panik ketika bangku mulai berderit kencang, dan beruntungnya, sebelum tempat duduk patah, the Traina sisters masih sempat melompat dan akhirnya tidak sempat jatuh! Sayangnya tidak semua orang seberuntung Vanessa dan Victoria, Kate Lanphear dan Eric Wilson malah sempat jatuh ketika bangku yang mereka duduki patah! Dan kebayang dong setelah kejadian bangku patah dideretan front row, semua tamu pun berdiri berdiri hingga akhir acara!

Menurut laporan dari Vogue Italia yang beruntung hadir di acara tersebut, walaupun Salma Hayek, Francois Henry Pinault, Anna Wintour dan Catherine Deneuve tidak termasuk menjadi tamu yang benar-benar jatuh, tetapi mereka ‘terpaksa’ harus ikut berdiri, dikarenakan tempat duduk mereka pun patah. Kontan berita tentang kejadian ini langsung heboh! Bahkan “breaking news” pun langsung ter-update dari dunia per-Twitteran, dimana para media yang melihat langsung, dan para undangan yang mengalami kejadian tersebut langsung meng-update dari account mereka. And just info, totalnya ada 4 front row lho yang patah!

Ini dia ‘the best tweets’ dari para front liners yang berdiri selama show berlangsung:
@AnnaDelloRusso: Amazing Balenciaga Show by Nicolas Ghesquiere! All standing like in a church! #PFW 
@womensweardaily: Benches are breaking ahead of the Balenciaga show - workers shuttling in replacements. #PFW 
@JakandJilBlog: The benches breaking at Balenciaga! It is a now standing show!!! INSANE! 
@JakandJilBlog: I felt like I just attended the church of Balenciaga. Everyone standing in heels watching…..le moment!! The Darth Vader finale was superb! 
@CathyHorynNYT: Benches cracking at Balenciaga as guests leap up. A second one just carted off. Now a third broke and nervous buzz starts, as in “Me next?” 
@JessicaMichault: Everyone has been asked to stand during the Balenciaga show because 4 of the benches have already collapsed under the likes of Mario Testino 
@BazaarUK: #Balenciaga…Standing room only (due to multiple bench breaking) ..Nothing if not democratin… 
@emma_whitehair (She’s a Selfridges fashion PR): @Selfridges team first to hit the floor @Balenciaga. Still can’t quite believe that the all benches broke… #PFW 
@pushprlondon: #Balenciaga are rocking the ‘standing fashion show’, what do we think about that? Is standing the new seating?
Beberapa account Twitter dari media juga langsung meng-twitpic foto dari kejadian tersebut. Diantaranya adalah “Womens Wear Daily” yang meng-twitpic dengan caption: 
“Everyone was asked to stand during the Balenciaga show”.

Abduction


Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) is a teenager who lives with his parents, Kevin (Jason Isaacs) and Mara (Maria Bello). He has a recurring nightmare, and consults a psychiatrist, Dr. Geraldine Bennett (Sigourney Weaver) to discover why.

One day, Nathan is partnered with his neighbor and longtime crush Karen Murphy (Lily Collins) on a school assignment about missing children. Karen finds a website that shows how the children would look like as adults, and Nathan discovers that a young boy named Steven Price would look exactly like him, when Price got older. Searching in his basement, he finds the same shirt that Steven is wearing in the picture and realizes that he and Steven are the same person.

Nathan calls the website's owner, unaware that he is a Russian terrorist. The man reports back to his commander, Viktor Kozlow (Michael Nyqvist), who deploys two agents to Nathan's house. They attack Nathan's parents, who tell him to run before being murdered and the house is destroyed. Nathan and Karen escape and attempt to call the police, but the call is intercepted by CIA operative Frank Burton (Alfred Molina), who tells Nathan that he's in danger and sends a team to pick him up.

Before the team arrives, Dr. Bennett appears and tells Nathan that Burton can't be trusted. She reveals that Nathan's biological father, Martin, is a CIA agent who stole a list from Kozlow with the names of corrupt CIA operatives and that Kozlow created the website in order to locate Nathan and use him as leverage to force Martin to return the list. Kozlow's men appear, having intercepted Nathan's call. Bennett tells Nathan to run away and head for a safe house in Arlington, Virginia. Karen decides to go with Nathan. Before they leave, Bennett tells him he can only trust his father and a man called Paul Rasen, and blows up her car to facilitate both their escape and her own.

Nathan and Karen arrive at the safe house, where Nathan finds Martin's cellphone as well as an address and photo of his biological mother, Lorna Price. They discover that she is dead. Nathan visits her grave and notices fresh flowers, so Karen asks the caretaker about recent visitors. He reveals that the last visitor was Paul Rasen from Nebraska.

Nathan and Karen head to Nebraska on a train; Kozlow's right-hand man follows them. When Karen leaves to get food, he kidnaps her and attempts to capture Nathan, but Nathan overpowers him and throws him off the train. Karen escapes and reunites with Nathan. They leave when the train stops in response to Kozlow's agent's death. Nathan takes Kozlow's agent's phone during the fight.

Burton and his men find and convince the two that they want to help. They stop at a diner, where Burton tells Nathan about the list. Nathan checks Martin's phone and finds the list, which contains Burton's name. Before Burton can react, Kozlow's men attack the diner and kill several of Burton's men. Nathan and Karen escape while Burton and his partner kill Kozlow's men.

Kozlow's right-hand man's cellphone rings and Nathan answers it. Kozlow reveals that he has planned to kidnap Karen's parents and will kill them if Nathan doesn't give him the list. Nathan agrees, but says that he'll choose the place of the exchange. Kozlow agrees. Nathan realizes that his nightmares are due to repressed memories of Lorna being murdered by Kozlow while trying to protect him.

Nathan decides to give Kozlow the list at a Pirates baseball game, and reveals to Karen that he actually intends to kill Kozlow. Nathan receives a call from Martin (who is also at the stadium) who tells him not to give Kazlow the list. Nathan ignores his advice, and tries to shoot Kozlow, who steals the gun and tries to force Nathan to give him the list. Burton's men, stationed all over the stadium, open fire as Nathan escapes, with Kozlow in pursuit.

Martin calls Nathan and tells him to lure Kozlow to an open area. Nathan does so, and, as Kozlow prepares to kill Nathan, Martin (Dermot Mulroney) kills Kozlow with a sniper shot fired from a nearby building. Burton's men appear and capture Nathan. On their way to CIA headquarters, Burton attempts to decrypt Martin's cellphone. However, his superiors reveal that Martin has warned them that Burton would attempt this in order to remove his own name, and Burton is detained.

Martin calls Nathan one last time and apologizes for everything. He says that he'll always be watching over Nathan, who reunites with Karen and Bennett, who tells him that she has arranged for him to live with her until he graduates, at which point he can move out to attend college. Nathan thanks her and leaves with Karen for a date in the empty stadium.

Tidung Island



Bosan sama suasana super macet di Jakarta? Gimana kalau kita liburan ke Pulau Tidung. Yup, Pulau Tidung adalah salah satu pulau dan kelurahan di Kepulauan Seribu. Dan pulau ini terdiri dari Pulau Tidung Besar dan Tidung Kecil, yang dihubungkan dengan jembatan panjang yang terletak di bagian barat pulau Tidung besar. Psst, uniknya jembatan ini disebut dengan nama “Jembatan Cinta” lho. Awalnya sih Jembatan Cinta ini dibangun untuk menghubungkan Pulau Tidung Besar dan Pulau Tidung Kecil. Tapi sekarang, jembatan yang panjangnya 800 meter ini malah jadi icon Pulau Tidung.


Nah, kalau pengen menghabiskan liburan di Pulau Tidung, kita bisa berangkat dari Muara Angke mulai dari jam 06.00-08.00 pagi (setiap hari terutama Sabtu Minggu). Atau alternatif lain melalui Pantai Marina di Ancol, dengan biaya yang sama Rp.35.000. Setelah melakukan perjalanan sekitar 3 jam, begitu sampai kita akan disambut pemandangan laut yang bening banget. Sampai-sampai kita bisa lihat terumbu karang yang beraneka ragam. Uniknya, kalau mau menginap di pulau, kamu nggak akan menemukan hotel, tapi hanya tersedia Homestay dan kamar-kamar di rumah penduduk. Nah, homestay dan kamar-kamar ini disewakan dengan range harga mulai dari Rp.200.000/malam, untuk kapasitas 3 orang perkamar.


Pulau Tidung sendiri memiliki luas 54 hektar dan jumlah penduduknya mencapai 4.300 jiwa. Wah, banyak juga ya. Setelah beristirahat sejenak di Homestay, mari kita berkeliling pulau dengan menyewa sepeda yang banyak ditawarkan penduduk setempat. Sewanya cuma Rp 15.000/hari aja kok. Atau buat yang pengen naik becak motor, tarifnya sekitar Rp.15.000 untuk sekali jalan. Nah, kita bisa berkeliling diantara rumah-rumah penduduk atau langsung menuju pantai. Di pantai yang menghubungkan Pulau Tidung Besar dan Tidung Kecil, banyak aktivitas yang bisa kita lakukan, mulai dari berenang, naik banana boat (Rp. 35.000/satu kali putaran) atau menyewa alat snorkeling seharga Rp. 35.000/hari. Setelah capek bermain air, kita bisa duduk-duduk di atas Jembatan Cinta. Eits, ini diaa yang paling seru, dari jembatan setinggi hampir 5 meter ini kita bisa melompat dan nyeburrr kebawah!

Kalau mulai lapar, kita bisa mengisi perut di warung nasi yang bertebaran di sekitar pantai. Ada berbagai macam olahan ikan dan sayur-sayuran seharga Rp. 15.000/porsi, dan jangan lupa pesan es kelapa muda yang segar ya (harganya Rp. 7000). Kalau hari sudah beranjak malam, kita bisa bikin pesta Barbeque, dengan menu seafood khas pantai. Pesta BBQ ini biasanya dilakukan oleh minimal 10 orang pengunjung, cukup dengan membayar Rp.35.000/orang. Mari kita pesta pantai, kita pun sudah bisa menikmati 3 kg ikan, lengkap dengan alat-alat BBQ yang sudah disiapkan oleh agen wisata. Kebayang dong gimana serunya menutup hari pertama liburan, dengan pesta BBQ dipinggir pantai rame-rame. Nah, untuk hari kedua, cobain deh snorkeling ke pulau-pulau lain yang nggak kalah indah dari pulau Tidung, seperti Pulau Pramuka, Pulau Payung, Pulau Untung Jawa dan pulau-pulau kecil lain yang tersebar disekitar pulau Tidung. Cukup menyewa kapal nelayan seharga Rp.35.000/orang (untuk minimal 10 orang), atau naik ojek antar pulau seharga Rp.25.000/tiket, kita udah bisa mendatangi spot snorkeling yang pemandangan bawah lautnya indah banget. Pantesan ya pulau ini kian dikenal sebagai salah satu destinasi wisata bahari.

Begitu sampai di Macy’s, Kelly memilih memakai leather biker jacket, black skirt, heels, MAC Pink Pigeon dan rambutnya pun di high lights dengan warna lavender. Sedangkan Lola, terlihat fresh dengan lipstick merah dan juga dress kuning yang simpel. Walaupun sang mama, Madonna nggak bisa hadir, birthday party tetap berjalan rame dan dipenuhi para pengunjung dan juga fans dari Material Girl. Bagian paling seru ketika semua pengunjung udah penasaran banget sama kue ulang tahun Material Girl.
