Watch Michael Fassbender Cry His Way Through the New Trailer For 'The Counselor'Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 20, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
After a puzzling teaser trailer left us scratching our heads and a first full-length trailer that gave us few details as to the film's actual plot, the new trailer for Ridley Scott's The Counselor is offering the most cohesive look at the film so far.
From previous material, we know that Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt have ridiculous costumes, Cameron Diaz writhes around on top of a car, and Michael Fassbender is in way, way over his head after making a massive drug deal. This time, we have a lot more to work with, plot-wise. Fassbender, as the eponymous counselor (or Counsellor, as the international trailer calls it), has grown accustomed to a lavish lifestyle with his fiancée, played by Penelope Cruz. But when legal work can't keep it up, he turns to Bardem on the other side of the border to help him get into the drug business for some quick, hard cash. Easy, right?
Of course, as you'll see in the trailer below, his totally well-thought-out plan devolves into a violent catastrophe of explosions, bloodshed, and Fassbender tears when the drugs get stolen en route to the trade.
Is it wrong, though, to kind of like the first trailer better (which our own Nathan Adams wrote about here)? It was flashy, absurd almost, and had much more Bardem for your buck. I'm okay with it not revealing much of the plot, either. I know that in a Cormac McCarthy story, the main man has done messed up badly and is going to pay his dues in the bloodiest way possible.
The Counselor is in theaters October 25th.

Alicia went to warn Eli, who was obviously worried because he and Peter had discussed the ballot box election over the phone. And Peter decided to take matters into his own hands. He called a senator friend at the Senate Intelligence Committee and asked him to check to see if Peter was, in fact, being targeted.
Back to the case: Clarke and Cary went to a mediation with the General Counsel. But they hit a pretty big roadblock when the NSA kept playing the state secrets card. Basically, they couldn't discuss any real aspects of the case without threatening the State Secrets Act, which was obviously just a ploy by the NSA to end the case. Clarke tried to make it about civil rights and discrimination, which was a stretch. But the threat that the case would become public record was enough to get the NSA to take a recess. We're counting the minor victories here.
The senator called Peter back and assured him that he and Alicia were in the clear, but Peter obviously had his doubts. So he brought up the Westgate construction site. The senator kept trying to end the discussion, but Peter pressed on:
Senator: "Uh, Peter, that was just between you and me."
Peter: "And it is between you and me. Now. On the phone."
Senator: "Peter, stop. You've made your point."
Peter told the senator to use his considerable influence to stop the tapping, or he'd call Alicia's office twice a week for the next five months to discuss the Westgate construction site. The senator said it was Froines running the situation, and Peter asked for his contact information. It was awesome. And Eli thought so too. He dropped to his knees: "I am not worthy!"
Back to the NSA mediation: Clarke and Cary were hitting more roadblocks because of classification issues. But in the end, it didn't matter. Peter had already done the dirty work to end the case. One of Peter's interns placed an ad to buy a car at a mosque. The attached contact information was for Charles Froines. So when Froines started to receive multiple calls from "members of a group advocating the violent overthrow of the U.S. government," red flags went up at the NSA. They placed Froines on administrative leave, and officially shut down the Florrick tap. Whew! The case against Jeff Dellinger was dropped, but he was MIA when Cary called to let him know. His co-workers figured he wouldn't be coming back anytime soon. Which makes the cynic in me wonder, did Jeff leak any confidential information?
Meanwhile, over at Lockhart/Gardner, Diane was trying to move forward with a potential Florrick/Agos merger. But with Alicia still at home in bed, she couldn't really get much traction. Unfortunately, Alicia had failed to mention the merger to Clarke and Cary. So when they heard about it, they were less than thrilled -- but recognized that Alicia was having difficulties processing everything. So they acknowledged that they'd have to start making some decisions without here.
NEXT: Louis Canning returns!

My first choice is a little gem that popped up on my ipod's shuffle the other day:
New Found Glory's cover of the song "King of Wishful Thinking". Remember that song from the movie Pretty Woman? My friend/next door neighbor in college Megan gave me the album From the Screen to Your Stereo, which was basically a compilation of a bunch of pop-punk covers from movies. Being the closet pop-punk lover that I am, I love New Found Glory and even saw them live once by accident (but that's a story for another day).
The song is a little more meaningful than that I suppose - before my husband and I started dating in college (I guess we were in that "talking" stage), I went to go see his band play a show at a local bar. They did mostly pop-punk covers and just happen to play New Found Glory's cover for "King of Wishful Thinking" which was funny, because Megan had just given me that album a week earlier.
Hope you enjoy today's (yesterday's?) Music Monday pop-punk moment!

Dwell Comes to Life at Dwell on Design
Attendees check out the IQ Haus at Dwell on Design.
Dwell on Design, the magazine's signature trade show, took place this weekend in Los Angeles. This year's event was focused on the environment—eco design, green living, and sustainable food.
Dwell's corner of the massive LA Convention Center was filled with an art installation curated by designboom, interior design vendors, pre-fab houses, and two stages for presentations and discussions about design innovation and sustainablility. The most popular spaces, however, were the outdoor living exhibits—green patches that simulated backyards, with plant life, outdoor lounge chairs, and hammocks swinging from leafy trees.

[Translate] I decided to try something new for a change. I have been wanting to play around with warka leaves for sometime now. Warka leaves are a very thin pastry, thinner than phyllo which are used to make Maghrebi savoury and sweet pastries, such as beestiya and cigars. For an good explanation of warka and Algerian cuisine, see my friend, Chef Zadi's blog. I also made some clove-cinnamon ice cream. I really love the flavour of cloves and thought it would be an excellent compliment to the peach briwatt. It was. As usual, I doubled the amount of cloves and used about 9 cinnamon sticks.

This pistachio cake is based on a recipe from Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers, Italian Easy: Recipes from the River Cafe. It is a very easy cake to make. I would prefer to make it with butter, but I must make a parve cake for Passover. Normally, I do not like Passover cakes made with matza meal, but this cake only calls for 1/2 cup and you really don't notice it. Substitute with flour when it is not Passover.

I received an email via JewishGen from a man from my paternal great-grandmother's hometown, Giershagen, Hochsauerland, Nord Rhein-Westphalia, Germany.

We exchanged a few emails and after I explained who I was and which relative lived in Giershagen he proceeded to tell me that my great-great-grandfather's house and the synagogue that he attended are still standing. I cried. I lived in Germany for two-half years, rather close to Giershagen and never went there. Okay, I was young and stupid.

Max Jones '16 (#13, main photo) picked the perfect time for his first goal of the season as he tucked a shot into the lower left corner of the net in the 71st minute to give the #2-seeded Cardinals a 1-0 victory over #7 Connecticut College in a NESCAC men's soccer quarterfinal Sat., Nov. 2.
Jones took a feed from Brandon Sousa '16, beat one man going to his right, and then fired a low shot that just beat the Conn goalie as he dove to his right. It was the second assist of the season for Sousa.
The two teams spent most of the first half trading goal kicks, as neither could muster many quality scoring opportunities. The Cardinals may have had their best chance to score in the half just seven minutes in when Chris Kafina '16 ripped a low screamer to the right of the keeper from 10 yards, but the goalie moved over to make the save.
The best Conn chance of the half came on a corner kick with 12:30 left as the curving shot headed for the top left corner of the goal but was punched out by keeper Emmett McConnell '15 (#30, photo upper right).
Wesleyan, now 9-5-1, held the advantage in shots in the period, 5-4, but the Camels had the only four corner kicks of the period.
The Cardinals came out strong in the second half and nearly scored in the first 10 minutes when a crossing pass from Omar Bravo '15 was flicked high on goal by Matt Lynch '15, but the Camel keeper leaped high to snare the attempt.
Conn College, which finished 8-5-2, had its best chance of the game with 26:55 left on a corner kick that was headed toward the goal. The try just deflected off the crossbar, and the Cardinals were able to clear the rebound. The only other serious challenge by the Camels came with 9:30 left on a breakaway but Ben Toulotte '16 managed to recover defensively for Wesleyan and stuffed the attempt, allowing the defense to clear.
Conn outshot Wesleyan, 11-9, in the game, but Wesleyan managed to put six on goal to just five for the Camels. Both goalies registered five saves. McConnell, with his seventh shutout of the year, extended his streak of scoreless minutes to 437:13 over the last five games.
The Cardinals advanced to the tournament semifinals and faced #3-seeded Williams at Amherst College on Sat., Nov. 9. Top-seeded Amherst took on Bowdoin in the other semifinal. Williams built a 2-0 lead in the second half before Sousa scored in the 85th minute to make it a 2-1 game, but the Ephs hung on to advance to the championship game against Amherst, a 2-1 double-overtime victor over Bowdoin.
Williams scored on a low, bounding shot from the right side in the 34th minute to take the lead for good and added what proved to be the winner in the 83rd minute. Wesleyan countered just two minutes later when Sousa converted a Daniel Issroff '15 pass to the left side into his second goal of the season. Wesleyan continued to apply pressure in the closing minutes. A free kick just before the final horn led to a smart header by Matt Lynch '15 from 12 yards out but the ball sailed over the net. Wesleyan's best scoring chance of the first half came in the final minute when Charlie Gruner '17 moved central and had an open shot straight on from 18 yards out, but the ball went wide right. Williams held a 13-10 edge in total shots, 6-4 in shots on goal. McConnell came up with four saves, three of them stellar blocks of well-conceived Ephs scoring chances.
On Monday, Wesleyan found out its 9-6-1 overall record wasn't enough to warrant its sixth trip to the NCAAs in the last nine seasons. Only champion Amherst, which downed Williams in the title game, 1-0, and runner-up Williams made the NCAA field from the NESCAC.

Delicious Blueberry Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup
This morning I woke up to a beautiful Saturday morning at the shore and I thought about heading over to Bennie's Diner. But then I saw the flat of fresh Jersey Blueberries on the counter and I thought . . . Blueberry Pancakes. I love to go back to my short order days and cook up a batch of pancakes or homefries and eggs or whatever. I have a great cast iron well seasoned griddle that covers two burners so I feel like I am back to at my old station at the Sign of the Fish Restaurant in Ocean Grove, where I got my culinary start. Here's a great recipe for Blueberry Pancakes. They were very tasty, especially with the blueberry syrup as a topping.

A Trip to the Belmar Seafood Festival
The gang and I spent this past Sunday afternoon at the 26th Annual Belmar Seafood Festival. It was a great time dampened only a little bit by the heat and the huge crowds. One of the perks of living at the Shore is to be able to jump in the car and drive to a festival like in just few minutes. There is music, craft and other non-food fenders, and a giant wine and beer tent, but of course the real draw is seafood.
Some of my favorite Belmar area seafood restaurants were there including Mr. Shrimp (my current favorite) and Ollie Klein's (the fish I grew up on when the owner was the chef at Evelyn's which has sadly departed from the Belmar restaurant scene.) There were some higher end representatives including Mumfords, 40 North Oyster Company and Anthony's of Little Italy. However at an event like this, the key is to eat seafood you love in as close to it's natural state as possible. The highlight of my eating adventures was a platter of 4 cherrystone clams and 4 nice plum oysters. What made it taste even better is that this delectable plate of raw mollusks cost me only 5 bucks. It was pretty impressed with the shuckers. The guy who was preparing my plate told me that he shucks about 2000 briny packets a day.
Nick joined me in his own feast of raw mollusks. Bria chose a platter of seared tuna, coconut shrimp with a side of rice and arugla. Becca had a crab cake sandwich and a buffalo shrimp taco. Christine enjoyed a New Jersey speciality, deep fried crunchy soft shell crab on a sandwich with lettuce and tarter sauce.
There were some great choices for deserts if you were interested. Nick opted for a deep fried oreo which was shared among the group. Becca had a crape folded over a ricotta and chocolate chip filling. For me, being the frugal guy that I am, I was thrilled that 7 Eleven had a truck there giving out free, pretty generous samples of slushy.
If you plan to attend the Belmar Seafood Festival next year, I would give you two hints. Try to go on Friday night. The attendance is a little lighter and according to one of the worker, this years festival had the largest attendance in it's history, so on the last day, crowds were definitely bordering on intolerable. The second hint is to park in at the Marina or train station and use the free shuttles provided by the festival. I am looking forward to enjoying some of the other great foodie and fun festivals this summer. It's great to live at the Jersey Shore. Enjoy!

The Essential Christmas Album Collection
This is one of the great Christmas albums of all time. It starts out with the medley "Sing We Now of Christmas" and some of the older re-issues of this album go by that name, but the star of the show is the original version of "The Little Drummer Boy". You probably listened to tunes spun from the vinyl of this LP when you were opening presents under the Christmas Tree when you were a little kid. This album is a re-issue of the original 1959 classic.
This album featuring choral singing backed by orchestra is another must have for the Christmas season. I love the use of some lesser known Christmas songs. It is another old standard and features a great collection of sacred Christmas music that you will spin again and again.
John Rutter is an English composer and conducter of sacred music. He has several Christmas albums and this is his best. It includes most of Rutter's original Christmas compositions and some fresh arrangements of Christmas standards. What makes Rutter great is his ability to bring a contemporary twist yet still have that touch of either mystery or festivity that is the essence of Christmas.
Handel's Messiah is a composition which I have to listen to at least once during the Christmas season, even though only one third of the oratory has to do with the prophecies and events of the Messiah's birth. There are lots of bad Messiah recordings, this is not one of them. The version done by the Academy of St. Martin in the Field is a great recording and one of my favorites.
The late, great Luciano Pavaratti is my favorite tenor. This album is a re-issue from the late 70's. "Uncle Luke's" voice is at it's peak of perfection. This is a wonderful collection of timeless, beautiful songs that capture the meaning of Christmas.
The Spirit of Christmas
Bing Croby, Burl Ives, they are all here. This and the companion CD linked below bring together just about all the Christmas classics that are part of the Great American Songbook. If you are looking for a comprehensive collection of the songs of your childhood Christmas memories, you have found it here. The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas: Christmas Memories
The animated TV perennial. This soundtrack is from was the very first Peanuts inspired seasonal special and is the wonderful. There is something about Charlie Brown's sad Christmas tree and Snoopy's antics along with Linus' reading of the Christmas story that capture the spirit of the season for me. As a bonus Vince Guarali's jazz interpretation of the Peanut's charachters is spot on.
OK, now for a few albums that are newer, but have an earned a place on my must play at Christmas time playlist. My kids introduces my to the music of Sufjan Stevens. He is a multi-instrumentalist minimalist singer song-writer. This 42 track CD is a compilation of Sufjan reinterpretations of Chrismas classics plus new music he sent out starting in 2001 to his friends as a kind of a musical Christmas card.
Maggie, Terry and Suzie Roche are three sisters out of the New York folk season. They used to do an annual Christmas concert at Manhattan's Town Hall. Their tight harmonies and sweet and sassy style are a joy to listen to. I always thought they were one of New York music's best kept secrets. I have enjoyed introducing them and especially their Christmas album to a a lot of different folk over the years.
Why is this one here you might ask? Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses, I Believe in Father Christmas by Gregg Lake, Step Into Christmas by Elton John and Father Christmas by the Kinks, all in place. Lots of Christmas memories from my late 70's early 80's college days. Almost an anthology of Classic Rock Christmas music. If "Do They Know It's Christmas" and "Merry Xmas (The War is Over) were here this would be golden.

Meet Santiago Herrera
Meet Santiago Herrera
What is your job title?
Graduate student at the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Biological Oceanography.
What do you study and why is it important?
I study aspects of the evolution and ecology of deep-sea organisms that live in seamounts and chemosynthetic environments (such as hydrothermal vents and cold seeps). I employ molecular techniques to detect and analyze patterns of genomic variability across individuals within populations and also among species. This work is important because it does not only provide fundamental information about how much biological diversity occurs in these remote ecosystems and how it originated, but it also gives us tools to for assessing and minimizing the impacts of disruptive human activities.
What is your role on this voyage?
I am part of the biology team. We will be obtaining images and samples of the animals that live in the Kermadec underwater volcanoes to determine their abundances and distributions.
What do you hope to learn/discover on this voyage?
I have never been in this part of the world before, so everything we observe will be new for me. I hope to learn a lot about the kinds of animals that live in these seamounts and also the environmental conditions that might limit their particular distributions.
Where were you educated?
I finished two undergraduate programs, Biology and Microbiology, in 2007 at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. Then I obtained a master's degree in Biological Sciences from that same university in 2009. Currently I am a PhD student of Biological Oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program.
How did you become interested in the ocean?
Everything started when I was still a little kid. Although I grew up in a big city in the mountains and far away of the ocean, I was always fascinated by the images of marine animals that I found in books. I kept fuelling my interest over the years through movies and, of course, trips to sea. I was also very lucky to have very supportive parents and fantastic professors that encouraged me to pursue my dreams.
How did you become a marine scientist?
I started by obtaining a solid background in general biology as well as in basic sciences like mathematics, physics and chemistry. Then I focused in learning how to use and apply a number of molecular techniques in order to solve the questions that most intrigued me. Along the way I found my niche in the hard to study but incredibly interesting deep-sea ecosystems.
What would you be doing if you were not a marine scientist?
I would probably be a doctor of medicine, just like my father. I really admire the work he does.
What do you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy the constant excitement of entering new ground; studying things that no one has observed or thought of before. I also feel very privileged of being able to visit extremely remote and unexplored places.
What has been your most exciting discovery?
A couple of colleagues and I recently found and described a new species of deep-sea coral. The bubblegum coral with cauliflower-shaped microskeleton structures Sibogagorgia cauliflora.
What are some challenges you face?
As many other people, I find it challenging to keep up with all the responsibilities and compromises that I have in my research, academic and personal life. Sometimes it feels that there is never a good time for a break. However, at the same time science is an extremely rewarding and motivating activity; the key is to find a good balance.
Do you get seasick and do you have any tips for dealing with it?
I have not been seasick yet… knocking on wood. But, the common believe is that things like ginger and pressure wristbands help a lot. I hope I never have to find out!
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy scuba diving, tramping, biking, football matches, loud music and good books.

Peter Auger, Auburn Hills City Manager
Thoughts on running a city, daily musings, and everything in between.
City Manager, Auburn Hills, MI
After a few hours in the office yesterday morning I was able to step out and attend the Auburn Hills Optimist Club Boys Oratorical Competition. We listened to eight 8th graders give approximately 5 minutes speeches on how optimism helps them overcome obstacles.
To say the least, I was very impressed with not only their speaking skills but the thought processes of these young men. Avondale is helping to groom future leaders in the community, and another neat thing is some of these kids were not born in the USA, but have adapted well and integrated themselves into the American Culture.
It was a great boost to my energy level as I head over to Europe to do some retention visits for three companies located in Auburn Hills and explain the benefits for those companies thinking about locating where the world comes to do business.
We have so much to offer. Not only do we understand and listen to businesses but the quality of life issues and access to so many great organizations is hard to match. Hopefully you will enjoy some guest bloggers next week as I believe our time schedules and meetings will keep me hoping (although I may try to slip one in from over the pond).

Forgetting 'Little Syria' at 9/11 Memorial
More News...
One of Carl Antouns favourite things to do in Manhattans financial district is to ask passers-by, Did you know that youre standing in Little Syria right now?
Less than 100 years ago, New York Citys renowned commercial district was home to the largest Arab community in the Western hemisphere. Since the 1880s, Arab immigrants from what was then known as Greater Syria - and later divided into present-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine - settled in this neighbourhood, the first stop in New York City after Ellis Island.
Streets that are now lined with skyscrapers housing the headquarters of world financial institutions were instead lined with low-rise Arabic coffee shops, Middle Eastern restaurants and shops. Men in traditional fezzes poured coffee for passers-by on the streets.
Antouns family, like many others, were merchants who brought their trade from present-day Lebanon to New York City. They exported dried goods, jewelry, sewing materials and textiles - particularly silk - to Latin America and Mexico.
They went right to Lower Manhattan, they wanted to be close to the water, just like over there. They were used to getting on ships to transport their goods and whatnot, Antoun told Al Jazeera.
Antouns grandmother grew up at 1662 Washington Street, which isnt there anymore. Most of Little Syria has since been destroyed, first with the construction of the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel during the 1940s, and then the rest with the construction of the World Trade Center during the 1960s.
Most of Little Syrias original immigrants and their descendants have since moved and settled in the traditionally Arab-American areas of Brooklyn such as Bay Ridge and Atlantic Avenue, though many residents and businesses - including the popular Sahadis grocery store on Atlantic Avenue - trace their roots back to Little Syria.
Remembering'Little Syria'
Now, Antoun is part of Save Washington Street, a preservation society campaigning to recognise the three remaining buildings of Little Syria as city landmarks. However, in recent months, Save Washington Street has taken on another task: challenging the September 11 Memorial Museum to include Little Syria in its permanent exhibit.
The museum is set to open in April 2014 as part of the September 11 Memorial sight. Recently, it became publicly known the museum does not plan to include any mention of Little Syria in its permanent exhibit.
Although the 9/11 Memorial Museums permanent exhibit is specifically designed to showcase the history of the World Trade Center site, there will be no mention of Little Syria or its artifacts on display in this collection, raising concern that Manhattans Arab roots are being sidelined.
When pressed on the issue, 9/11 Memorial spokesman Michael Frazier said the museum had offered to include an oral history of Little Syria in a temporary exhibit that would run only for a few months.
Todd Fine, one of the founders of Save Washington Street, said the offer is not enough.
In the oral history section, the story of Little Syria will be stored with thousands of other histories and heard by a much smaller amount of people, Fine said. If it is in the permanent exhibit, it will be seen by hundreds of millions.
Of additional concern to the advocacy groups is that although there are brochures in several different languages at the memorial site, Arabic - the fourth-most spoken language in the world - is not one of them.
The lack of Arabic brochures and the apparent exclusion of Arab-American history suggests a pattern of discrimination towards Arabs and Arab-Americans, Raed Jarrar, communications director for the Arab-American Anti Discrimination Committee (ADC), said.
Jarrar and the ADC are not the only ones who feel the decision could be interpreted as discriminatory. Sarab al-Jijakli, president of the Network of Arab-American professionals, agreed with the assessment.
The decision to exclude any mention of Little Syria in the permanent historical exhibit is problematic, as it omits an important historical fact that all New Yorkers should be made aware of and, intentionally or not, adds to the ongoing marginalisation of Arab-Americans by erasing the communitys history and role in helping build this great city.
A sentence or a photograph
Although the ADC and Save Washington Street volunteered to provide the necessary research and artifacts to include Little Syria in the museum free of charge, the museum responded to letters of concern from the ADC eight weeks later by saying there is not enough time for the work involved to include Little Syria in the museums permanent exhibit.
All we are asking for is a sentence or a photograph, said Fine.
Another concern is the enormous amount of taxpayer money being allocated towards the museum, and the ensuing disregard for the Arab-American community, a significant demographic of US and New York tax-payers who are funding it. So far, the September 11 Memorial Museum has taken in $300m in taxpayer-funded grants, and will have a yearly operating cost of $60m.
We expect that all Americans, all US taxpayers, will be respected and included in the museum, Jarrar said, framing the perceived exclusion of Arab-American history as a public funding issue.
For many involved in the fight to include Little Syria in the September 11 memorials permanent exhibit, the signs of discrimination bring back memories from the initial weeks and months following the September 11 attacks.
Despite their long-history as Americans, the Arab-American community - many of which are second and third generation - still bears the brunt of heightened suspicion, discrimination and in some cases, personal and violent attacks.
Antoun recalls when, in the weeks following the attack on the World Trade Center, many Arabic grocery stores on Atlantic Avenue were vandalised, and had rocks repeatedly thrown at their windows. One store even placed a giant banner outside their business that said, We Are Christian in bright red marker.
Coincidentally, many Arab immigrants who originally settled in New Yorks Little Syria were Christian, rather than Muslim. Still, Antoun is adamant that the fight today is about shared Arab identity, not religious differences.
They werent alien as people may think, Antoun said, referring to the Arab immigrants and Arab-Americans of Little Syria. They fought in World War I and in World War II and did a lot to cultivate the American fabric.
Past to the future
In addition to honouring the Arab-American community with historical integrity, Antoun said including Little Syria in the permanent exhibit will have an impact on future generations of Arab-Americans as well.
I think what we are doing could make more recent immigrants feel more at home, and like they have a place in our history, too, Antoun said.
Recently, the Department of Homeland Security issued new regulations that will allow more Syrian refugees fleeing the current conflict in Syria to settle in the United States for longer. In addition to Syrians coming to the US, new generations of Egyptian, Palestinian, Lebanese and many other Arabs are coming to visit, study, join family and, in some cases, start a new life - just as their ancestors may have done in Little Syria more than 100 years ago.
Right now there is not enough cultural understanding of Arabs, Antoun said. It [the inclusion of Little Syria in the museum] would be an excellent opportunity to open the doors and get things going.

Date and Cranberry Energy Bars
I have never been able to fathom why so many cyclist eat branded energy bars. I love to ride my bike, and I love to eat but the thought of sating my pedaling-induced appetite on a jaw-aching, over-priced piece of flavored Plastecine is not my idea of a satisfying reward after hours in the saddle.
Sadly until my trip to The Holy Land any previous contact with this small, desert fruit was limited to the dusty capsule-shaped box, decorated with camels, palm trees and lurid sunsets, that were unearthed from a dark cupboard every Christmas.
But sweet, fibrous and packed with sugary energy, while cycling in Israel and Egypt I fell in love with dates and loaded up with kilos of this wonderful fruit which I discovered was the perfect desert cycling food. Whether they were given as gifts, picked up from the desert sand or purchased from the local shouk (market), bag of dates always hung from my handlebars, allowing my route through the Sinai to be easily tracked, like Hansel and Gretel through the forest, by a reliable trail of stones spat by the road side.
- 1 cup of chopped dates (stones removed)
- 1 cup of walnuts (soaked for 8 hours)
- 1 cups of plain almonds
- 3 tablespoons of golden syrup or natural honey
- 1 cup of desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 cup of raisins
- 1 cup of dried cranberries (can be replaced with sultanas to keep the cost down)
- The zest of one lemon
- A little extra coconut for dusting on top the energy bars if you feel creative.

December 22, 2014
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - City officials in Pikeville have appointed a new police chief.
The City Commission spent two days interviewing four candidates and announced their choice on Thursday.
"This was not a decision that came very easily. It was a long decision with a lot of thought," said City Commissioner Barry Chaney.
The Commission chose to appoint Detective Phillip Reed as Chief of Police.
"I've worked really hard, a lot of dedication, and i'm really honored to be standing here today," said Reed.
Reed has been with the department since 2001. He is replacing current Chief James Adkins who announced his retirement earlier this year.
Reed says he has big shoes to fill, but he has high hopes for the department he has called home for more than a decade.
"I do want to continue with the programs that we have, as well as more programs, more training, just to continue being successful and providing this community with the best service possible," he said.
Reed will take over after Chief Adkins' last day at work on Friday.
The commission also promoted Sgt. Ricky Younce and Sgt. Chris Edmonds as captains.

Executive functions – What are they?
Executive functions and executive functioning are terms that have only recently begun to be understood and talked about.
Executive functioning refers to the higher level thinking skills that control and regulate the other thinking (cognitive) skills of the brain. They are performed by the frontal lobe of the brain.
Bright, intelligent people who have difficulties with executive functions (also called executive dysfunction) can have problems with their life that don't match their general intelligence. They can appear disorganised and have difficulty planning. They can fail to notice other people's perspectives and not notice when they communicate poorly. They probably can't multitask and they forget what they have been asked to do.
Children develop executive function skills over their entire childhood. Small children are not expected to have well-developed executive functions. However, the skills do need to be developing so that children can learn to do some of the complex tasks we demand of them.
Particularly once they go to school they need to be able to learn literacy skills – a complex task. We also expect them to be able to listen in a focussed way and remember what they hear. They need to be able to write and edit their work and to tell about an experience in a logical, clear way.
Research has identified a number of specific executive functions which include:
- WORKING MEMORY – the ability to hold onto information in order to process it. This includes the ability to identify the main point, take all information into account, and tell a cohesive story in a logical sequence. A functional working memory is needed for reading comprehension and following instructions.
- INHIBITION – the ability to contain the desire to do something in order to stay on task until it is finished. This includes staying focussed long enough to complete a task, and thinking through problem solving. When talking, it includes the ability to stay on a topic and avoiding 'going off on tangents' when telling a story.
- PLANNING AND ORGANISING – the ability to plan and organise time, information and procedures effectively and efficiently. This includes carrying out instructions accurately, and completing tasks on time and correctly without procrastinating.
- MULTITASKING – the ability to carry out more than one cognitive (thinking) process at a time. This includes being able to do an action whilst talking.
- EMOTIONAL CONTROL – the ability to control escalating emotions in order to complete a task and keep emotions to a level that is appropriate.
- INITIATING – getting started on a task, including knowing where to start and what to do next. This includes talking, telling a story and writing tasks.
- SHIFTING FOCUS – the ability to flexibly transition or shift attention if something changes. This includes being able to change how something is being done when asked, and being able to see multiple possible solutions to a problem.
- SELF-MONITORING - being mindful, recognising when a change is needed, and noticing when an error occurs. This includes staying on a topic when talking, noticing changes of topics in groups, and answering questions accurately. It is the thinking process that allows us to see when we have made a mistake, such as with spelling errors or punctuation in written work. It also involves being relatively accurate in our judgment of our own and others' behaviour.
- ABSTRACT THINKING – being able to understand non-literal (figurative language) and non-verbal communication. Non-literal language includes sarcasm, jokes and metaphors. Non-verbal communication includes they way we get our message across apart from the words we use – such as tone of voice, body language and facial gestures.
Executive functions are crucial for effective listening and communication. When they don't work well, life can be very difficult, even for bright children and adults.
Some Speech Pathologists work specifically with improving executive functioning.

Last night a Faux News headline blurted out that Senator John McCain wants "us" to bomb Syria. This is news? Come on, Faux, REAL news would be an interview with John "Dr. Strangelove" McCain in which he is asked, "Whom should we bomb next?" and he answers: "Well, no one that I can think of for now."
The rationale the neocons give for going on endless invading, bombing, murdering, destroying, and occupying binges is that the governments of the targeted countries are oppressive and are even killing some of their own citizens. In his book, Power Kills, R. J. Rummel writes that "democidal" regimes that murder their own citizens become more vicious when their political power is "conjoined with an absolutist ideology" and that war provides "an excuse and cover for a regime to eliminate those social groups it finds objectionable" (p. 93).
Rummel estimated the millions killed by their own governments in the U.S.S.R, China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cambodia, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere. But he left out one important country, one in which the government killed some 350,000 of its own citizens for resisting its "authority" while maiming for life more than double that number. I speak of course of the U.S. government during the Lincoln regime, which did all of this in the name of "American exceptionalism." They were right, this was an "exceptional" act of barbarism at a time when the population of the U.S. was one-tenth of what it is today. Standardizing for today's population, this would be the equivalent of 3.5 million deaths. If Rummel were to include this particular act of "democide' it would rank the Lincoln regime slightly above Pol Pot's Cambodia.6:29 am on March 10, 2012 Email Thomas DiLorenzo

Click Image To Visit SiteYou Can LOSE 6-21 Inches, Minimize Cellulite, Tone your Skin and Detoxify Your Body in Only 60 Minutes with My Home Body Wrap Recipes…GUARANTEED!
Have you ever spent up to a $50-100.00 an hour on a wrap at the salon to achieve inch loss? … I have!
My name is Ella Simpson and several years ago I noticed that my arms were flabby, my belly was sagging and plump, and my thighs jiggled, while dieting on a weight loss program!
A friend of mine told me she was getting a body wrap once a week. So I decided to try one. I spent $85.00 for the single body wrap session.
They were right, it was PERMANENT! …and because of the detoxification benefits of body wraps in addition to my weight loss program, I didn't put it back on.
The salon technician offered me a package of 6 body wraps for $390.00. That was more than my car note! I politely explained that I would get back to her and I went home to do some investigating.
A body wrap is an all-natural alternative to plastic surgery. It slenderizes and contours your body shape in only an hour. The body wrap produces therapeutic and cosmetic benefits by cleansing the body of toxins and reducing inches.
Yes, the body wrap is very popular with massage therapists and salon technicians for that very reason. You can use the body wrap to relieve yourself from pain due to injury and illness.
I did my research in the plenty of natural health, herbal, and nutrition books I had in my personal library. I am very health conscious and studied herbology under Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing.
I discovered my own formulas and techniques that worked better for me and my friends than the wrap I got at the Salon! My kitchen became a laboratory to develop effective wrapping formulas that can be used and prepared at home – at a fraction of the cost of the ones given at the salon.
I immediately realized that the formulas and supplies are extremely economical and are so easy to prepare. You can find the ingredients in your local Health Food store or at an incredible savings online!
You can invest as little as $3.00 – $5.00 per wrap by buying the supplies and making your own body wraps at home!
Over the course of my testing, I also discovered techniques and helpful tips that actually help to boost results!
I began testing the formulas on friends, family and myself and got the same if not better results from my own formulas. We got amazing results…
*Excellent results are obtained in conjunction with healthy diet and moderate exercise. Body wrapping supports, enhances and boosts your diet and exercise results
Body wrapping is a therapeutic treatment that is applied to detoxify the body using simple all natural ingredients.
These easy readily available ingredients applied over the years traditionally to tighten and tone… Read more…

Dunno, it seems to be making a comeback with MES5 and Pulse2 being out. Hence why its being used for my current project, MES5 is very well put together, especially the 5.2 update.
The reason I'm using it for this one of my own servers is because I'm going to be performing a server changeover from Windows Server 2k3 to MES 5.2 for a Doctors office in the near future and I need experience with it before I do so. And I use ISPConfig on all of my servers. So like I said, any help would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately my finances aren't in good enough state that I can afford a donation right now, otherwise I'd offer a decent donation in exchange for the support.

LONDON (AP) -- British police says it has arrested six people as part of the investigation into phone hacking in the British media.
The Metropolitan police said five men and one women were arrested early Tuesday morning in various locations in and around London. It said their premises were being searched.
The people were arrested by police working on an ongoing probe into phone hacking by journalists and private investigators.
The investigation stems from phone hacking by British tabloids, notably the News of the World.
