    Sedikit kisah tentang tokoh-tokoh diatas 
    Ikal
    Tokoh ‘aku’ dalam cerita ini. Ikal yang selalu menjadi peringkat kedua memiliki teman sebangku bernama Lintang, yang merupakan anak terpintar dalam Laskar Pelangi. Ia berminat pada sastra, terlihat dari kesehariannya yang senang menulis puisi. Ia menyukai A Ling, sepupu dari A Kiong, yang ditemuinya pertama kali di sebuah toko kelontong bernama Toko Sinar Harapan. Pada akhirnya hubungan mereka berdua terpaksa berakhir oleh jarak akibat kepergian A Ling ke Jakarta untuk menemani bibinya.

    Lintang
    Teman sebangku Ikal yang luar biasa jenius. Ayahnya bekerja sebagai nelayan miskin yang tidak memiliki perahu dan harus menanggung kehidupan 14 jiwa anggota keluarga. Lintang telah menunjukkan minat besar untuk bersekolah semenjak hari pertama berada disekolah. Ia selalu aktif didalam kelas dan memiliki cita-cita sebagai ahli matematika. Sekalipun ia luar biasa pintar, pria kecil berambut merah ikal ini pernah salah membawa peralatan sekolahnya. Cita-citanya terpaksa ditinggalkan agar ia dapat bekerja untuk membiayai kebutuhan hidup keluarganya semenjak ayahnya meninggal.

    Sahara
    Satu-satunya gadis dalam anggota Laskar Pelangi. Sahara adalah gadis keras kepala berpendirian kuat yang sangat patuh kepada agama. Ia adalah gadis yang ramah dan pandai, ia baik kepada siapa saja kecuali pada A Kiong yang semenjak mereka masuk sekolah sudah ia basahi dengan air dalam termosnya.

    Mahar
    Pria tampan bertubuh kurus ini memiliki bakat dan minat besar pada seni. Pertama kali diketahui ketika tanpa sengaja Bu Muslimah menunjuknya untuk bernyanyi di depan kelas saat pelajaran seni suara. Pria yang menyenangi okultisme ini sering dipojokkan teman-temannya. Ketika dewasa, Mahar sempat menganggur menunggu nasib menyapanya karena tak bisa ke manapun lantaran ibunya yang sakit-sakitan. Akan tetapi, nasib baik menyapanya dan ia diajak petinggi untuk membuat dokumentasi permainan anak tradisional setelah membaca artikel yang ia tulis di sebuah majalah, dan akhirnya ia berhasil meluncurkan sebuah novel tentang persahabatan.

    A Kiong
    Anak Hokian. Keturunan Tionghoa ini adalah pengikut sejati Mahar sejak kelas satu. Baginya Mahar adalah suhunya yang agung. Kendatipun pria kecil ini berwajah buruk rupa, ia memiliki rasa persahabatan yang tinggi dan baik hati, serta suka menolong pada siapapun kecuali Sahara. Namun, meski mereka selalu bertengkar, ternyata mereka berdua saling mencintai satu sama lain.

    Syahdan
    Anak nelayan yang ceria ini tak pernah menonjol. Kalau ada apa-apa dia pasti yang paling tidak diperhatikan. Misalnya ketika bermain sandiwara, Syahdan hanya kedapatan jadi tukang kipas putri dan itupun masih banyak kesalahannya. Syahdan adalah saksi cinta pertama Ikal, ia dan Ikal bertugas membeli kapur di Toko Sinar Harapan semenjak Ikal jatuh cinta pada A Ling. Syahdan ternyata memiliki cita-cita yang tidak pernah terbayang oleh Laskar Pelangi lainnya yaitu menjadi aktor. Dengan bekerja keras pada akhirna dia menjadi aktor sungguhan meski hanya mendapatkan peran kecil seperti tuyul atau jin… Setelah bosan, ia pergi dan kursus komputer. Setelah itu ia berhasil menjadi network designer.

    Kucai
    Ketua kelas sepanjang generasi sekolah Laskar Pelangi. Ia menderita rabun jauh karena kurang gizi dan penglihatannya melenceng 20 derajat, sehingga jika ia menatap marah ke arah Borek, maka akan terlihat ia sedang memperhatikan Trapani. Laki-laki ini sejak kecil terlihat bisa menjadi politikus dan akhirnya diwujudkan ketika ia dewasa menjadi ketua fraksi di DPRD Belitong.

    Borek
    Pria besar maniak otot. Borek selalu menjaga citranya sebagai laki-laki macho. Ketika dewasa ia menjadi kuli di toko milik A Kiong dan Sahara.

    Trapani
    Pria tampan yang pandai dan baik hati ini sangat mencintai ibunya. Apapun yang ia lakukan harus selalu didampingi ibunya, seperti misalnya ketika mereka akan tampil sebagai band yang dikomando oleh Mahar, ia tidak mau tampil jika tak ditonton ibunya. Cowok yang bercita-cita menjadi guru ini akhirnya berakhir di rumah sakit jiwa karena ketergantungannya terhadap ibunya.

    Harun
    Pria yang memiliki keterbelakangan mental ini memulai sekolah dasar ketika ia berumur 15 tahun. Laki-laki jenaka ini senantiasa bercerita tentang kucingnya yang berbelang tiga dan melahirkan tiga anak yang masing-masing berbelang tiga pada tanggal tiga kepada Sahara dan senang sekali menanyakan kapan libur lebaran pada Bu Muslimah. Ia menyetor 3 buah botol kecap ketika disuruh mengumpulkan karya seni kelas enam.

    Tokoh-tokoh Lain

    Bu Muslimah
    Nama lengkap N.A. Musimah Hafsari Hamid binti K.A. Abdul Hamid. Dia adalah Ibunda Guru bagi Laskar Pelangi. Wanita lembut ini adalah pengajar pertama Laskar Pelangi dan merupakan guru yang paling berharga bagi mereka.

    Pak Harfan
    Nama lengkap K.A. Harfan Efendy Noor bin K.A. Fadillah Zein Noor. Kepala sekolah dari sekolah Muhammadiyah. Ia adalah orang yang sangat baik hati dan penyabar meski murid-murid awalnya takut melihatnya.

    Flo
    Nama aslina adalah Floriana, seorang anak tomboi yang berasal dari keluarga kaya. Dia merupakan murid pindahan dari sekolah PN yang kaya dan sekaligus tokoh terakhir yang muncul sebagai bagian dari laskar pelangi. Awal pertama kali masuk sekolah, ia sempat membuat kekacauan dengan mengambil alih tempat duduk Trapani sehingga Trapani yang malang terpaksa tergusur. Ia melakukannya dengan alasan ingin duduk di sebelah Mahar dan tak mau didebat.

    A Ling
    Cinta pertama Ikal yang merupakan saudara sepupu A Kiong. A Ling yang cantik dan tegas ini terpaksa berpisah dengan Ikal karena harus menemani bibinya yang tinggal sendiri.

    Body of Lies is a 2008 American thriller film adaptation of the novel of the same name by David Ignatius about a CIA operative who goes to Jordan to track a high-ranking terrorist. The film is directed by Ridley Scott, director of American Gangster and Black Hawk Down, written by William Monahan, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani and Australian actor Vince Colosimo. Production took place in Washington D.C. and Morocco. Body of Lies was released in the United States on October 10, 2008.

    Plot

    Roger Ferris (Dicaprio) is a CIA operative in Iraq who is trying to track down Al Salim. His partner is killed in a car blast and he is sent to Jordan. Ed Hoffman (Crowe) keeps track of his progress and spies on Ferris via Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. In Jordan, Ferris meets Hani Salaam, head of the Jordanian General Intelligence Department, or GID. Hani tells Ferris to never lie to him. Hoffman finds an Al Salim safehouse in Jordan and Ferris is hired to spy on it. Hoffman, however, hires someone else to aide Ferris without Ferris’ consent. Ferris then accuses Hoffman of running “side operations” and tells Hoffman to lay off. Ferris chases down someone from the safe house and is bitten by dogs in the process. While in the hospital he meets Aisha, a nurse and he falls in love with her. Meanwhile Hoffman has Ferris’ partner follow one of Hani’s men in Al Salim’s group. Ferris’ partner is caught and Hani blames Ferris because Hani’s man lit fire to a building with vital information. Hani tells Ferris to leave Jordan. Ferris comes back to the States for a while and tells Hoffman of a plan of making a fake terrorist in order to make contact with Al Salim. They frame an architect named Omar Sadiki. Hani tells Ferris to come back to Jordan because he knows that he needs Ferris. While Ferris is back in Jordan, Sadiki is kidnapped by Al Salim. Salim gets information from Sadiki about Ferris and he then kills Sadiki. Hani then pretends to kidnap Aisha in order to make Ferris think it was Al Salim. Hani knew Ferris would go looking for Salim, and when he found him they can take him down. However Ferris doesn’t know this. Hani then has Ferris picked up by one of his men in Al Salim’s group (again Ferris doesn’t know it is really Hani’s men) and Ferris is taken to Al Salim. Salim tries to make Ferris talk, and severs two fingers in the process, but it does not work. Right before killing him, Hani’s men come in and kill all of Al Salim’s men, saving Ferris. In the end Ferris tells Hoffman that he quits and lives in Jordan with Aisha.

More info after the break.


    Press Release:
    Taipei, Taiwan, October 6, 2008 – Consistent with the tradition of breaking new grounds, ASUS is proud to present the world’s first Intel® Quad Core™ Gaming notebook—the G71. Specifically designed with gamers in mind, the G71 is the first in ASUS’ planned series of Quad Core™ gaming notebooks and an addition to its expanding G Series. The G71 delivers a total gaming experience in a highly portable package, with an emphasis on audio clarity and stunning graphics performance. The World’s First Quad Core™ Gaming Notebook The ASUS G71 is the world’s first Quad Core™ gaming notebook, powered by the new Intel Core™ 2 Extreme processor QX9300. The removal of the Overspeed Protection means that the G71 is capable of extreme performance through overclocking, pushing the envelope of computational processing power and thus allowing users to multitask extensively. Superior Gaming Performance As a dedicated gaming notebook, the G71 sports an impressive array of high performance components, such as a 17” Crystal Shine high brightness display with a quick response time of 8 ms, powered by a NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT GDDR3 512 MB graphics card. The G71 also features up to 4 GB of DDR3 1066MHz system memory coupled with dual hard disk drives of up to 1 TB (500 GB x 2)—enabling users to enjoy multimedia entertainment and games while on the move. Direct Console 2.0 Direct Console 2.0 is an all-in-one gaming control interface that allows users to select from three processor speed settings depending on their mode of usage. The same interface also includes controls for Direct Messenger, enabling communication utilities such as Instant Messaging (MSN™), Meeting and E-mail notification. The gaming hotkeys enable users to launch their favorite games with a single touch and execute in-game commands on-the-fly. The chassis of the G71 also features a programmable lighting system, which lights up and blinks during in-game events. These lights can be configured through the Direct Console 2.0, providing the user with a pyrotechnic-like ambience while in the game. Direct Messenger Users can now read their emails and communicate via Instant Messaging (MSN™) through the Direct Messenger. Acting as a secondary display, it displays email notifications, instant messages, battery reserves and system loadings in real-time even during a game in progress. This allows users to keep in touch with their friends and family while multitasking between various applications. Entertainment and Style on the Move The G71 incorporates several entertainment features that promise to give users a gaming experience like none other. Altec Lansing speakers equipped with a subwoofer deliver excellent sound reproduction, further complimented by Dolby™ Home Theater. A 2.0 megapixel webcam allows users to communicate visually through Skype™ or MSN™; while a dedicated game keyboard layout provides them with strategically placed movement keys on a full-sized keyboard—granting them quick access to their in-game inventories and allowing them to issue commands in the shortest time possible. These features combine to provide an entire host of gamer-centric features for users to immerse themselves in a world of audio and visual entertainment with style. Fun for Everyone The G71 may have the sheer power to sate the needs the most serious of gamers, but it is also very suitable for those who prefer to play games on a more casual basis. Attaching ASUS’ innovative Eee Stick—a simple plug and play gaming solution that allows users to interact with the game by translating their hand motions into corresponding movements onscreen—for example, will instantly transform the G71 into a mobile gaming console. The easy-to-use and family-friendly Eee Stick—which works with all of ASUS’ notebooks—consists of an Activation stick, a Navigation stick and a 2.4GHz RF dongle. It has a broadcast range of up to 10 meters, allowing users more leeway for physical movement. Boasting three modes of operation, the Eee Stick can be used with a myriad of game genres, ranging from sports and shooting, to action and beat ‘em up games.
