Lebanon's Arabic press digest.
Following are summaries of some of the main stories in a selection of Lebanese newspapers Wednesday. The Daily Star cannot vouch for the accuracy of these reports.
"Intifada" by Aoun: improving conditions or ending the partnership?
The law to employ contract workers at Electricite Du Liban changed the game on the local scene and redrew borders and alliances prompting some to say that the parliamentary meeting had brought back the famous "Quartet alliance" of the Future Movement, Hezbollah, Amal and the Progressive Socialist Party supporting the law while Christian blocs stood against the proposal.
[MP] Gen. Michel Aoun hinted that what happened could be the start of new political changes which reflect accumulated tensions and makes way for questions regarding the fate of the Shiite alliance with the Free Patriotic Movement.
Some think that Aoun has started to feel that the costs he has had to bear as a result of the alliance outweigh the gains.
While Aoun was advised not to take it too far, he reiterated the need for the resistance party.
Some majority sources said it was advisable not to overanalyze Aoun's position and that the situation would be contained.
Hezbollah seemed to be the most embarrassed by the development given that the party was the one that tried to keep pace with Aoun without abandoning its principles on the issue of contract workers.
Energy Minister Gebran Bassil told OTV in an interview aired Tuesday that Hezbollah was responsible for what happened during the parliamentary session because it's MPs remained silent with regard to what has been happening.
Christian consensus to reject "marginalization in jobs"
In a legal step within constitutional institutions, away from blocking roads, the burning of tires and protesting, the Christians came together despite their differences to reject their marginalization in the public sector and voiced their dismay via Parliament.
The legislative session did not take place, nor did the Cabinet session that was also scheduled Wednesday due to loss of quorum.
It is expected that President Michel Sleiman will reject the contract workers bill despite Parliament's approval in order not to create a sectarian-political gap in the country.
While Hezbollah remained silent in this regard, it is worth noting the attack by Minister Gebran Bassil against [Hezbollah] via OTV in which he warned against corruption within the ranks of Hezbollah and said: "It is not enough for our allies to stand and watch but have to help us pass projects for the better of citizens."
"We were attacked because of our memorandum of understanding," he said.
"They said we lost much of our popularity, history but we resisted against Israel and the U.S. And so here comes this issue to stand in the face of the alliance?"
"Employing contract workers" disrupts government and threatens to break alliances
A political storm that struck Parliament has also reached Baabda Palace. The draft law to employ contract workers stunned the Cabinet after ministers with the Change and Reform bloc decided to boycott the session in tandem with their decision to boycott the legislative session in which the law was endorsed.
It is the first government shake-up of such a magnitude which comes at a time when the government decided to reactivate its work and save the Cabinet.
The Cabinet session was scheduled in the afternoon to continue discussions on the 2012 state budget.
Quorum was lost when Minister Alaaeddine Terro was registered as absent due to travel arrangements.
Al-Joumhouria obtained information indicating that Sleiman will talk about what happened Wednesday in front of a delegation from the Editor's Union.
Finance Minister Mohammad Safadi said before entering the Cabinet session that the "budget will not be discussed in the absence of the Change and Reform [bloc] ministers."
He told Al-Joumhouria that "the amendments requested by the prime minister and some ministers will be discussed on the basis that any spending should be met with income."
The majority witnesses a shake-up; Aoun "cannot digest" Berri; Bassil attacks Hezbollah
Consequences of approving the law in Parliament dealing with the employment of contract workers at Electricite Du Liban created an unprecedented crisis between allies and sent shockwaves to the Cabinet.
The session was abandoned after Free Patriotic Movement ministers boycotted the session after MP Michel Aoun "could not digest the wrong decisions that no one can enforce on us."
Minister Gebran Bassil attacked Hezbollah Tuesday night and said the party was responsible for what happened in Parliament.
However, what happened in Cabinet and Parliament did not divert attention away from the decision by Investigative Judge Ghassan Awaydat to release Wissam Alaaeddine , one of the attackers against Al-Jadeed TV.
A judicial source told Al-Mustaqbal that the decision was not legal and unprecedented because it dealt with what occurred as a misdemeanor and not as a felony.
Meanwhile, Al-Mustaqbal found out that Prime Minister Najib Mikati phoned Bassil to inquire whether Change and Reform bloc ministers would attend the session, Bassil responded firmly: "We will not attend neither today's session, nor tomorrow's."

Vascular Closure Device has More Consistent Sealant Delivery
The Mynx Cadence Vascular Closure Device (VCD), from AccessClosure, offers physicians smoother device deployment while maintaining all the benefits of the original Mynx.
Three design changes on the device make it easier and more consistent to deploy. A definitive shuttle stop when deploying the sealant reduces the possibility of over-shuttling. Additionally, a single marker on the advancer tube removes any guesswork around sealant compression. Finally, a new sealant sleeve protects the sealant during deployment and shortens the procedure time by eliminating the need to pre-soak during device preparation. These changes result in more consistent sealant delivery.
It utilizes a conformable, water-soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) sealant to seal the femoral artery, which dissolves within 30 days, leaving nothing behind but a healed artery. The device received its first FDA approval in May 2007, has been used in over 700,000 procedures and is available in two sizes for 5F and 6F/7F procedural sheaths.

(PRWEB UK) 22 March 2013
- BlackBerry Z10 release sparks a 62 per cent increase in BlackBerry owner trade-ins.
For the first time, CompareMyMobile.com, which pulls in data from over 40+ recycling companies in the UK, has data showing a large increase in consumer trade-ins and valuations for brands other than Apple.
Previous trends in recycling have primarily revolved around Apple releases. The iPhone 5's release in September 2012 showed a 367 per cent increase in online trade ins and a 40 per cent decrease in the value offered by recycling companies. The decrease is due to the sheer volumes they received and demand of their exit routes in the UK and China.
Apple's decrease in market share is now being reflected in CompareMyMobile's data, showing that a similar buzz has been generated by the new Android and BlackBerry releases.
Samsung's 23 per cent increase is the smallest figure from CompareMyMobile's data. However, the handset is not officially released until late April 2013. Early reports show the Samsung Galaxy S4 has received four times the volume of pre-orders compared with the Samsung Galaxy S3. When mapping the initial interest against similar product release trends from Apple, CompareMyMobile predicts the S4 will have the biggest impact on trade-ins out of all the major Q1 and Q2 handset releases.
Top 3 traded in device values:
Samsung Galaxy S – trade in prices range from 10 GBP to 69 GBP *59 GBP extra by comparing
Samsung Galaxy S2 – trade in prices range from 50 GBP to 136 GBP *86 GBP extra by comparing
Samsung Galaxy S3 – trade in prices range from 200 GBP to 242 GBP *42 GBP extra by comparing
Data accurate from 13:00 GMT 21/03/2013.
Consumers loyal to the HTC brand have already started recycling their old HTC phones, causing a 78 per cent increase in online trade-ins on CompareMyMobile for the brand. Consumers are aware that they can place an order and hold the trade in quote for two weeks, avoiding a sudden drop in value. However, an announcement on 21st March suggests there may be a delay in the devices release due to on board camera problems.
Top 3 traded in device values:
HTC Wildfire – trade in prices range from 5 GBP to 26 GBP *21 GBP extra by comparing
HTC Desire – Trade in prices range from 9 GBP to 37 GBP *27 GBP extra by comparing
HTC One X – trade in prices range from 100 GBP to 170 GBP *70 GBP extra by comparing
Data accurate from 13:00 GMT 21/03/2013.
The release of the BlackBerry Z10 showed an increase of 62 per cent in BlackBerry branded trade ins. The release caused a drop in the overall BlackBerry trade in prices by 17 per cent. BlackBerry invested a lot of time into the new operating system and Z10 release, trade in data from CompareMyMobile shows it was well received by its loyal fans. BlackBerry recently denied allegations that its OS was rejected for UK government use. Early sales figures are looking good for the company with an unnamed partner ordered 1 million Z10 phones giving a positive increase in the companies value.
Top 3 traded in device values:
BlackBerry Curve 8520 – trade in prices range from 25 GBP to 49 GBP *24 GBP extra by comparing
BlackBerry Curve 9300 – trade in prices range from 25 GBP to 54 GBP *29 GBP extra by comparing
BlackBerry Touch 9900 – trade in prices range from 70 GBP to 126 GBP *56 GBP extra by comparing
Data accurate from 13:00 GMT 21/03/2013

I wanted to create the new thread! You cheated In2deep! But it's ok since you're the leader
Salaam Alaykum everyone
I was instructed to do so I'm sorry
Come on I wanna know, how was it? What did you do there?
"Today I feel as if I am only three years old and the rest of the years of my life have no value.
Ibn Taymiyyah also spent 36 months imprisoned in the citadel during which he completed reciting the Quran 80 times. He would put his head on the floor in prostration from Isha until Fajr (all night long) repeating the supplication, "O Allah! Help me to remember You, be grateful to You and to worship You with excellence."
This is what you call a blessed, productive life.
Prison teaches you the value of time. We are nothing more than a combination of days, hours, minutes and seconds. When a day passes a part of us dies along with it never to return. Time is immortal. We can never kill time but it is time that devours us day after day after day.
People say that time is money. This is an illusion. Money can be replaced but lost time can never be replaced. Time is the most precious thing we posses. Ask the dead in the graves whether they would prefer time or money. They would probably give the whole earth full of gold in exchange for the chance to pray just one more salah. How deprived is the one who wasted years of his life waiting for a 'tomorrow' that never came?
The classical scholar Sufyan Ath-Thawri said, "Fear evil when you are in a good situation and expect good when you are in an evil situation."
This is life. A wave of tidal currents that oscillates between the ebbs of hardship and the flows of ease. Allah tests us continuously, with good (to test our gratitude) and evil (to test our patience) until the day we meet Him.
When all the people you encounter in your daily life- friends, neighbours, work colleagues, etc. – are what one may describe as decent, honest, genuine people, your worldview is limited to that narrow mindset. You begin to think that everyone and everything in the world is good. You cannot imagine concepts such as 'evil.'
That is why it is necessary to be subjected to physical, psychological, verbal and racist abuse in order to form a balanced view of the world. Having treaded both paths I have finally understood the hadith of the Prophet (SAS): "People are like 100 camels out of which you can hardly find one suitable to ride." In other words less than one out of every 100 people is genuine: the rest are fakes to varying degrees.
At times in our lives every one of us will cross paths with a handful of truly inspirational individuals who will have a life-changing effect on us even though we may meet them only once. You know that someone has had a profound effect on you when you find yourself remembering their faces, their actions and their words long after they leave your company. For some reason influential people tend to have more of an effect on you in their absence than their presence. The longer and more distant the absence (e.g. death, imprisonment, exile) the more the effect they have on you. I have been honoured to meet some exceptional individuals in my life and blessed to spend moments in their company.
Time and time again I picture their blessed faces and hear the echoes of their precious words in my cell as I journey through the toils of prison life, even though they are far away from me. Their faith inspires me when I feel low, their determination motivates me when I lose hope and their wisdom advises me when I am in a difficult situation. Even though they are absent from me their influence is not.
I am aware of men in unjust captivity today who are like priceless diamonds buried deep in a mine. It would not be an exaggeration to say it is not just those who know them, but the entire world that is deprived due to their absence. Allah says repeatedly in the Quran: "Indeed Allah is with the patient ones."
To the individual of weak iman, these are just empty words until an experience brings them to life. There are times in prison when you experience such utter despair, hopelessness and helplessness that you pray (and curse) not from your tongue or even in your heart, but from somewhere far deeper.
Those are the times when you need a response to your supplication now. Not tomorrow, not next week, month or year, but now. And I swear that Allah, Generous and Bountiful is He, never abandons you when you call Him in such a state. In these situations His Response comes immediately. By this I do not mean a good dream, but real-life miracles that first melt then strengthen your shattered heart. These supernatural signs are Allah's way of saying, "Don't worry, I am still with you."
For years I recited the Quran day and night but I did not unlock its secrets and power until I came to prison.
Now I understand why prison is known as the University of Islamic Knowledge. Muslims expect miracles from the sky but forget the miracle living in our very midst. The Quran is the story of my ordeal. Whoever wants to know what I have gone through need only read the Quran and reflect upon it.
Many today say that these are dark days for the Muslim ummah. I beg to differ. These are glorious days that will be sorely missed once gone.
Successive generations of Muslims will look back to these days as the days in which Islam was revived and heroes were made as dreams turned into realities. History is repeating itself as we have returned to the early days of Prophethood in Makkah. The Muhajireen (Emigrants) of today are those who have been forcibly expelled from their homes and estranged from their loved ones. The Ansar (Helpers) of today are those who are helping them and their families. It is precisely at times like these that nations discover their quest for mission and moment.
There is no time to rest; that will come later. Prison is not a place of rest. In fact this whole dunya is not the realm of rest. Khalid bin Al-Waleed (RA) said, "Rest is only in the Hereafter. Man will rest in the Hereafter according to how much effort he expends in the dunya."
Imam Ahmad's students asked him when they were experiencing hardships, "When will we rest?" He replied, "When our first step enters Paradise, that is when we will rest."
Fear of the future is what holds you prisoner; hope is what sets you free. Hardship is overcome by hope and the excitement of good things to come. And good things will come, for it is Allah's unconditional Promise: "Allah will make after hardship, ease." (Quran 65:7).
I can feel the breeze of relief blowing in my face and its vibrations in my blood. It's only a matter of time before it arrives.
The story is not over yet as articulated by this quote: "Life is a book with many chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others tell of triumph. Some are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know that a better chapter always lies ahead, because with Allah all things are possible." And the last chapter of a book is always the best…… "
Babar Ahmad
This is a very
spammypopular thread anyway so it's not like it needs a lot of posts. Guvnor used to post good stuff here, quotes/hadiths. I'd be interested to know if we have any Ahmadiyya here but I don't want to start a fight. I'm not Ahmadiyya btw.

Yes it has (don't use smilies that much so copying off posts on this page)

I don't think so. I've seen one or two members on TSR but they don't post here..
Guvnor has been a little bit more busy lately but he does occasionally pop in, and I know you're not Ahmadiyya bro
"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah, do hearts find rest"
The Prophet (saw) mentioned in numerous ahadith that a muslim should fear the du'a of he who has been wronged, for he said: "Fear the du'a of he who has been wronged, for verily it ascends to the skies faster than sparks (of light)."
Let not your tongue mention the shame of another
For you yourself are covered in shame and all men have tongues.
If your eye falls upon the sins of your brother
Shield them and say: "O my eye! All men have eyes!" Imam Shafii
Never do I debate a man with a desire to hear him err in his speech, or to expose the flaws in his argument, and thus vanquish him. Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently supplicate, 'O Lord, help him so that truth may manifest itself in his heart and on his tongue. If it be that the truth is on my side, may he follow me; and if the truth be on his side, may I follow him. Imam Shafii

Ben Hur
The numbers speak volumes: 100,000 costumes, 8,000 extras, 300 sets and a staggering budget in its day the largest in movie history. Ben-Hur's creators made it the best, the greatest Biblical-era epic ever.
Charlton Heston brings a muscular physical and moral presence to the role of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman in Palestine whose heroic odyssey includes enslavement by the Romans, a bold escape from an embattled slave galley, vengeance against his tormentors during a furious arena chariot race and fateful encounters with Jesus Christ. Heston's charismatic performance brought him the Best Actor Oscar; the winner as 1959's Best Picture with the legendary William Wyler earning his third Best Director trophy, the film won a total 11 Academy Awards - a tally unequaled until 1997's Titanic set sail.
The Ten Commandments
Throughout film history, Hollywood has produced a number of sweeping epics and generation-defining movies. However, one film - Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments - has stood the test of time. Universally recognized among critics as a cinematic masterpiece, this unforgettable motion picture has also been recognized by The American Film Institute as one of the "Top Ten" epics of all time. From its Academy Award-winning director and revolutionary Oscar-winning special effects to its memorable music score and all-star cast, The Ten Commandments presents the story of Moses in all of its stunning glory. Starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter and a "who's who" of legendary screen talent, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1956.

CA Readers
From the Print Edition:
cigar case, Summer 93
(continued from page 1)
While most parents discourage smoking for their children, my teenage son and I enjoy comparing notes on cigars. He enjoyed your magazine more than I did because he loved the article on poker playing.
Keep up the good work--we both look forward to our next issue.
Jacqueline Parker

Dear Marvin:
I know President Bill Clinton reads your magazine. I'm hopeful he'll give consideration to my request. Here is my letter:
Bill Clinton
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20335
Dear President Clinton:
I know my tax increase this year would be much more palatable if I could light up a Cuban Cohiba, Hoyo de Monterrey or Ramon Allones the night I sign my tax return.
The world has changed so much since President Kennedy initiated the trade embargo against Cuba. Considering who the United States has been willing to do business with, the trade embargo against Cuba sticks out like a discarded cigar butt at a tea party. It has no place in today's political or economic world. Besides, unlike President Kennedy, I was unable to stock up on my favorite Cuban cigars the night before the embargo went into effect.
You have presented us with a challenge and burden that, as good Americans, we will meet. Please help ease the pain of April 15, by making it possible for us to enjoy a good Cuban smoke.
Very truly yours,
E. Melville McKinney
Mendocino, California
[The above was sent to the White House, and then Mr. McKinney sent us a copy.]

Dear Marvin:
I was at my girlfriend's house the other day, and I was amazed to find a copy of your fine magazine on her father's coffee table. Upon inquiring, I was told he did indeed enjoy smoking cigars and that he was given the magazine as a gift. Well, I just had to open it up and check it out.
The one thought your magazine left me with was, "Boy, are these people insensitive!" Why do you assume that all people should enjoy the odor of a smoke-filled room? Personally, I find the odor of cigar smoke disgusting. This is not to say that I think ALL people should find cigar smoke disgusting; it's my opinion. Regardless, I'm entitled to my opinion, and I'm also entitled to enjoy breathing air that has not been contaminated by cigar smoke.
Please have some consideration for those of us who don't smoke. As a college student, one who aspires to become financially successful in the future, I understand that many of your readers have worked very hard to attain the levels of success that they have and that cigar smoking may be one of the few pleasures that they allow themselves on a daily basis. I am asking you to understand that breathing clean air is something I enjoy and to please respect that right.

Editor's Response: I, like all cigar smokers I know, refrain from smoking when it infringes on nonsmokers who object. However, too often, nonsmokers are too aggressive in denying me the right to enjoy a cigar when it is not an infringement, such as when I'm sitting on a park bench and they are walking by. I only wish nonsmokers were as courteous as we cigar smokers are. On a much more serious note, Jay, instead of writing to complain about "clean air" to a cigar lovers' magazine, why not write to the mayors of most cities in the United States? Have you ever driven behind a municipal bus? Every time a bus changes gears a huge black mass of smoke billows out of the tailpipe. One billow equals 10,000 cigars. Now think about how many times a bus changes gears as it drives down a main street? where the sidewalks are filled with people. And while you're at it, throw in a few trucks taxis and cars for added spice. Perhaps you are crusading against a small fish when there are whales swimming in your own back yard.

Dear Marvin:
Today, with all of life's stresses, we all need a good friend. Besides my wife, my cigars fit that bill. They are cooperative, agreeable, don't talk back to me and offer a few moments of tranquility that seem to be very hard to find these days. Then, as I continue to enjoy one of my favorite Partagas No. 10s, I peruse your wonderful magazine, which has become my new friend. I do it over and over again in sheer delight. In effect, I have two friends during these moments of meditation and relaxation.

Dear Marvin:
While your readers, correspondents and advertisers seem to indicate that cigar smoking among women is becoming more and more acceptable, my experience refutes that claim. My former boyfriend introduced me to the pleasures of fine cigars seven years ago, and while the relationship with him ended not long thereafter, my relationship with cigars has continued to prosper. This, however, in spite of an unwillingness on my part to smoke them in public following too many stares, snickers and comments from those who found it strange for an attractive (I'm told) young woman to be seen puffing on a double corona. I now enjoy my indulgence in private or in the company of a few enlightened friends. Some men I've dated have been put off by my enjoyment of a good cigar after a fine meal and have never bothered to call again, but others have told me that they find it increases the attraction, so I guess there is some justice after all!

Dear Marvin:
I have a story to tell you about my trials and tribulations of smoking a cigar in peace.
My wife and I have been going to a well-known hotel in Maryland for many years. We stay at the hotel three or four days of every month from March through November. Both my wife and I are great seafood lovers, and we go down to breathe the fresh air and eat the bountiful seafood from the Chesapeake Bay.
Last year we stayed at the hotel in March, April and May. In June, we again went to the hotel, checked in, went to our room and changed into swim attire. I arrived at the outdoor swimming pool, in God's own fresh air, and posted all around the pool were signs, "No Smoking." In all previous visits, there were no signs. So, as a person respective of nonsmokers' rights, I went to the person in charge of the outdoor pool and asked where I could smoke my cigar without offending anyone. This young lady's reply was, "No smoking allowed." I said, "This is outside in an open area, and there couldn't possibly be any laws prohibiting smoking." She said, "No smoking allowed."

Dear Marvin - Regarding the letter from Peter Worsham in the August issue, I lived in Havana from 1997 until 2000 as a member of the U.S. Interests Section. The GOOD cigars are indeed heavily controlled and expensive no matter where you buy them including Cuba. That said there was always counterfeit/seconds cigars to be had on the black market, but so easily available that the Cuban government had to be aware or complicit in their production and sale. In the end, although not top of the line cigars it was Cuban tobacco which I think is the best in the world.
Changing the subject, I just returned from a car trip to Eastern North Carolina and was surprised to see farm fields of growing tobacco. These same fields use to grow soy beans, cotton, and corn, while the owners were being paid NOT to grow tobacco. Can anyone tell me what has happened? Chinese demand? Domestic demand? Other?
Thanks for the fine magazine.

The effervescent and talented Parineeti Chopra confesses to being a bundle of nerves as her fourth film Hasee Toh Phasee hits the marquee
There's something about Parineeti Chopra that made cinegoers and the film industry take to her instantly. At first glance, she doesn't seem to fit into the quintessential Hindi film heroine mould, but her effervescent personality has comfortably placed her among the top leading ladies of Hindi cinema. And she is only three films old. It's sheer talent that has prevented Parineeti from being eclipsed by her more glamourous cousin, Priyanka Chopra. Film stalwarts, too, single her out for being a naturale in front of the camera. With her fourth venture Hasee Toh Phasee, a co-production of Phantom Films, and Dharma Productions, hitting the theatres, the actress admits to being in a happy place, and yet wracked with fears of her surviving in the industry. Amidst a day of hectic promotional activities, she grabs a few moments of peace by settling down by the window, resting a cushion on her lap and enjoying the view of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Dressed in a casual pink top and blue denims, Chopra talks about her latest film, among other things in a freewheeling chat with Screen. Excerpts:
Karan Johar stated that Hasee Toh Phasee shouldn't be slotted as a rom-com. Do you feel the same?
It's a love story, but not the usual romantic comedy. It's literally a story of two characters. If I had to interpret the film, I would do so based on the flavour of the film more than its genre. The flavour of the film is really fun and sweet. It's a crazy film, totally living up to the tagline — 'Love goes cucking frazy', more so because the girl (Meeta) is really crazy, and the guy (Nikhil), a loser. We should not limit the film by putting it into one particular genre, because it doesn't fit into any.
The character that you play in the film is rather quirky. Did you have any reference point to get into that mode?
I'm an enthusiastic person in life, but I don't think I have quirks, and so I had to work on that aspect. We have mentally challenged people and we have people who are stricken by some kind of illness, but that's not the case with Meeta. She just doesn't talk like normal people. So, one can never really have a reference point for someone as crazy as the character that I play in the film. We had to find those quirks. For instance, we incorporated things like — Meeta will always look wide-eyed, never blink and have her tongue sticking out of her mouth. She'll always keep tapping on something or the other. The thing is when you …continued »

Common symptoms of migraine include recurrent headaches, nausea, vomiting, photophobia (sensitivity to light) and phonophobia (sensitivity to sound). According to the National Headache Foundation, most migraines last between four and 24 hours, but some last as long as three days. On average, migraine sufferers experience 1.5 migraine attacks monthly, although 25 percent of them experience one or more attacks weekly, according to published studies. Migraine patients often report that currently approved drugs do not fully meet their needs due to slow onset of action, short duration of effect, inconsistent response and unacceptable side effect profiles. The economic burden of migraine remains substantial despite existing treatments, with the direct and indirect costs of migraine in the United States estimated at over $20 billion annually.

Sous-Vide 101: Pork Belly Buns
please also do a Food Lab on the sensual massages.
please also do a Food Lab on the sensual massages.
I'd love if you did a feature on some great examples of decaf coffee. While I don't have a problem drinking regular coffee in general, there is a handful of times when it would be nice to have a cup without having to worry about being up all night. I bought a bag of Intelligentsia's decaf library blend recently and thought it was emphatically mediocre. (I do love their other offerings, though).
Hey Kenji -- I frequently sub doenjang for miso in situations like this. Would that be appropriate here (assuming I get a pretty smooth scoop of it)?
Ska Mexican Logger is pretty incredible.
Forgive me if this has been discussed before, and I'm asking purely out of curiosity (not being critical), but where does this fall on the spectrum of:
Restaurant Review -- First Look (SE discusses food/drink without Editorial commentary) -- Sponsored Post?
I'm not asking for the secret sauce here, but it's hard to tell how exactly to interpret these posts... other than sweet, sweet food porn.
If you guys do ever decide to create Serious Eats TV, step 1 should be hiring Liza... these videos are amazing, as always!
Thanks guys! These are great recommendations. Sounds like there are some really good food/drink options, looking forward to it.
This was friggin' awesome... for a lot of reasons, but especially because you could have told me it was an episode of Between Two Ferns and I would have believed you.
oh -- there are also some places around that sell intelligentsia drip coffee. Marcello's in the 155 N Wacker building is one such example, I believe.
Happy caffeinating!
The Intelligentsia-Monadnock on Jackson (53 W. Jackson -- also Michigan+Randolph) is a great option if you're at all nearby. I've heard good things about the Lavazza and Rom, but as I'm pretty much a black-coffee-only kind of guy I've generally left those places to the latte drinkers. Very possible I'm missing out on something great, though.
you're the man, Will. I like to print your reviews, tape them to their respective subjects, and given them as gifts. Hits all around.
This was a really enjoyable and well-written read!
Looking forward to trying out the recipe... likely tonight.
Man. Benjyehuda is really a mixed bag for me -- the fries, as you point out, are ridiculous , and if you order them sans cheese (why?) they call out the order, "Diet Fries!". However, like @tayter said, the line is agonizingly long and slow, and for me, the rest of the offerings are really bland. But... the fries.
In a perfect world you would just get Taza's falafel and chicken shawarma and a side of Benjy's fries.
This is amazing. I'd been getting a little disheartened with SE and the abundance of compilation slideshow posts/heavy drinks + sweets coverage lately (and let's be honest, Will Gordon's glaring absence. Where are you, Will?), but this is exactly the kind of post that has always made me love Serious Eats. Perfectly obsessive.
I meant to mention this on the "what's your favorite eggnog" thread, and maybe Nick K. and the SE: Chicago peeps will have to investigate (don't know how widespread it is)... Oberweis 'nog is my gold standard. I've never had Straus, but I am guessing it would be in the same vein.
Anybody else had it?
I wonder if the spam filter tripped up my comment as well -- but I signed up just so I could ask, and since you offered...
1) Any Food Lab/Drinking The Bottom Shelf mash-ups in the works? By far the best two regular columns on the site. Hopefully if/when this happens there will be copious video and photographic documentation.
2) Sorry for another cookie question -- ever had Lofthouse Sugar Cookies? I don't understand how they have that texture, and all the clone recipes online either use cake mix or contain an "I've never made this" disclaimer.
and one I thought of since...
3) There are some awful commenters out there. Your post about "favorite single man/wife is out of the house food" especially seemed to bring them out of the woodworks. How do you keep your cool, how do you not give them the lashing they deserve, and any sample responses you chose not to post you'd like to share with us (anonymizing the target, of course)?
Love it.
Had to sign up just for this.
1) How can I make Lofthouse Sugar Cookies at home? There are some recipes online, but they all seem to involve cake mixes or a disclaimer that the poster hasn't yet tried the recipe. Far as I can tell, the secret is in the technique.
2) Is there some sort of Food Lab / Drinking The Bottom Shelf mash-up in the works? Easily the two best SE columns; hopefully any joint effort will involve extensive video and photographic documentation.
I'm planning a quick weekend getaway to Kalamazoo this coming weekend, and I'm looking for some good dining tips. Our thoughts/plans so far include the Bell's brewpub and Black Owl Cafe, but the rest of the time is pretty open -- looking for good, casual sandwich places, brunch, a nice dinner place, bars, etc.
As a reference, favorite Chicago places include The Publican (and relatives), Bangers & Lace, Pleasant House Bakery/Maria's Packaged Goods, Coffee Studio, Piece Pizza, Vietnamese on Argyle, Sun Wah.
Any tips (must-visits or must-avoids) would be very appreciated!

Robin van Persie has spoken of joy and his relief after winning the Premier League title with Manchester United.
The Dutchman had just an FA Cup winner's medal to his name when he moved to Old Trafford from Arsenal last summer but has scored 24 league goals this season to help fire Sir Alex Ferguson's men to a 20th crown. And the 29-year-old, who also won the UEFA Cup with Feyenoord before coming to England, admits the season has been a dream come true.
He told The Sun Sunday: "I've waited a very long time for this. It's what every professional dreams might happen one day. That's why I sacrificed so much to come here. I chased a dream and I'm so happy the dream has now been fulfilled. I still can't believe it, it's just an incredible feeling. It is also a massive relief after all this time to be lucky enough to win a title in one of the hardest leagues in the world."
He added: "My move to Manchester United was all about timing. We met each other at exactly the right time. They were so eager to win the Premier League title back. And I was so eager to win the title for the first time."
At 29, Van Persie is in the prime of his career and he admits that he is eager to add to his trophy cabinet while he is still at his best. "Quite simply, I now want to win as much as possible," he added.
"Now I've won one big prize I'm even more eager to win more, even more eager to win it all. Next season I have the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Capital One Cup, Community Shield and, of course, the World Cup to focus on."
United have been linked with moves for a host of strikers this summer to supplement Van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck. However, Van Persie does not see that as a threat to his place and believes a bigger squad can help him achieve his ambitions with the club.
"The more quality players we bring the better," he said. "And even more fun. I trust (Ferguson's) judgement. The manager knows what is good for the team."
Van Persie's signing raised eyebrows in the summer as it has been rare for Ferguson to spend big on players in their late-20s but the Scot's assistant Mike Phelan has hailed his impact this season. "Robin has been a great addition to Manchester United Football Club," he told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme.
"We knew what we were signing when we brought him to the club. He's come in with an expectation of achieving something and that's important when you come to Manchester United.
"You've got to want to win, you've got to want to develop even more than where you are at the moment and I think Robin has taken on another part of his game. He does study the game but so do other players and Robin has achieved something that he's tried to achieve for numerous years and we're pleased to have him with us."
He added: "We all know what his talent is and he's brought that to us. We knew he could score many goals, we knew he had the quality to entertain a crowd and there's no better crowd and no better stadium to do that in than Old Trafford.
"I think everybody has reacted to him within the club. The supporters have enjoyed his highs. He had a spell during the season when he was a little bit barren but he kept going and we kept playing him and his quality has shown through."

In Los Angeles, our Israel Festival is on May 15 at Woodley Park in Van Nuys.
Israel Is...
I asked the second-graders at Pressman Academy in Los Angeles what they think of when I say the word "Israel." Here is what Alexa, Noam, Maor, Aaron, Josh, David, Rachel and Jacob said:
"Israel is the land of freedom, an ancient land, the land of milk and honey, the land of the Jewish people, a land of happiness, and the Land of God"

'Star Wars: Episode VII' casts '24: Live Another Day' actressAdd to Favorites | 24: Live Another Day
With production of "Star Wars: Episode VII" ongoing, it looks like yet another new member has been added to the cast. Christina Chong, who was most recently seen on "24: Live Another Day."
The report comes from Latino Review, though there's no information about who she will play in the movie. On "24: Live Another Day" Chong appeared as Mariana, a CIA employee stationed in London during the terror attacks Jack Bauer tried to stop. She's also set to star as the female lead of digital project "Halo: Nightfall."
"Star Wars: Episode VII' is currently filming in London, with a scheduled release date of Dec. 18, 2015.

The idea of negotiating peacefully, simultaneously threatening with the "big stick", or the military, ties in heavily with the idea of Realpolitik, which implies an amoral pursuit of political power that resembles Machiavellian ideals. Roosevelt first used the phrase in a speech at the Minnesota State Fair on September 2, 1901, twelve days before the assassination of President William McKinley, which subsequently thrust him into the Presidency. Roosevelt, in a letter to Henry L. Sprague of the Union League Club, mentions his liking of the phrase in a bout of happiness after forcing New York's Republican committee to pull support away from a corrupt financial adviser. The term comes from a West African proverb, and, at the time, was evidence of Roosevelt's "prolific" reading habits. Roosevelt described his style of foreign policy as "the exercise of intelligent forethought and of decisive action sufficiently far in advance of any likely crisis."
"Necessity is the mother of in(ter)vention" — 1906 New York newspaper.
Although used before his presidency, Roosevelt used military muscle several times throughout his two terms.
In the early 20th century, Venezuela was receiving complaints from Britain and Germany about "Acts of violence against the liberty of British subjects and the seizure of British vessels" and the lack of Venezuelan initiative to pay off long standing debts. After British and German forces took naval action with a blockade around Venezuela and Roosevelt denounced the blockade. The blockade began the basis of the Roosevelt Corollary. Though he had mentioned the basis of his idea beforehand in private letters, he officially announced the corollary in 1905, stating that he only wanted the "other republics on this continent" to be "happy and prosperous." For that goal to be met, the corollary required that they "maintain order within their borders and behave with a just obligation toward outsiders." Most historians, such as one of Roosevelt's many biographers Howard. K. Beale have summarized that the corollary was influenced by Roosevelt's personal beliefs as well as his connections to foreign bondholders. The U.S. public was very "tense" during the two month blockade, and Roosevelt requested that Britain and Germany pull out their forces from the area. During the requests for the blockade's end, Roosevelt stationed naval forces in Puerto Rico, to insure "the respect of Monroe doctrine" and the compliance of the parties in question.
In 1901, Secretary of State John Hay pressed the Nicaraguan Government for approval of a canal. The deal was that Nicaragua would receive $1.5 million in ratification, $100,000 annually, and the U.S. would "provide sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity." Nicaragua then returned the contract draft with a change; they wished to receive, instead of an annual $100,000, $6 million dollars in ratification. The U.S. accepted the deal, but after Congress approved the contract a problem of court jurisdiction came up. The U.S. did not have legal jurisdiction in the land of the future canal. An important note is that this problem was on the verge of correction, until Pro-Panama representatives posed problems for Nicaragua; the current leader (General José Santos Zelaya) did not cause problems, from the outlook of U.S. interests.
In 1899, the Isthmian Canal Commission was set up to determine which site would be best for the canal (Nicaragua or Panama) and then to oversee production of the canal. After Nicaragua was ruled out, Panama was the obvious choice. A few problems had arisen, however. With the U.S.' solidified interests in Panama (then a small portion of Colombia), both Colombia and the French company that was to provide the construction materials raised their prices. The U.S., refusing the pay the higher-than-expected fees, "engineered a revolution" in Colombia. On November 3, 1903, Panama (with the support of the United States Navy) revolted against Colombia. Panama became a new republic, receiving $10 million from the U.S. alone. Panama also gained an annual payment of $250,000, and guarantees of independence. The U.S. gained the rights to the canal strip "in perpetuity." Roosevelt later said that he "took the Canal, and let Congress debate." After Colombia lost Panama, they tried to appeal to the U.S. by the reconsidering of treaties and even naming Panama City the capital of Colombia.
The U.S., after the Spanish-American War, had many expansionists who wanted to annex Cuba. Many people felt that a foreign power (outside of the U.S.) would control a portion of Cuba, thus the U.S. could not continue with its interests in Cuba. Although many advocated annexation, this was prevented by the Teller Amendment, which states "hereby disclaims any disposition of intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said island except for pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people." When summarized, this could mean that the U.S. would not interfere with Cuba and its peoples. The expansionists argued though, that the Teller Amendment was created "ignorant of actual conditions" and that this released the U.S. from its obligation. Following the debate surrounding the Teller Amendment, the Platt Amendment took effect. The Platt Amendment (the name is a misnomer; the Platt Amendment is actually a rider to the Army Appropriation Act of 1901) was accepted by Cuba in late 1901, after "strong pressure" from Washington. The Platt Amendment, summarized by the "Diplomatic History of the American People" by Thomas A. Bailey:
With the Platt Amendment in place, Roosevelt pulled the troops out of Cuba. This action was met with public unrest and outcries for annexation, with reasons ranging from "U.S. interests" to "dominant white race." The Indianapolis News said, "It is manifest destiny for a nation to own the islands which border its shores." Roosevelt had written privately that if "any South American country misbehaves" it should be "spanked." A year later, Roosevelt wrote,
Just at the moment I am so angry with that infernal little Cuban republic that I would like to wipe its people off the face of the earth. All that we wanted from them was that they would behave themselves and be prosperous and happy so that we would not have to interfere.

We are backing Roger at this stage for pure value
Federer will beat Simon most likely, and then comes Murray. Federer should be around even odds in that match and our numbers indicate he will have good chances there, especially if the conditions are hotter helping him on serve. Federer plays Murray well. Then in the final, a very tired Djokovic or another far more beatable player. We think this price is worth a shot.

Dundee Energy Limited (formerly Eurogas) acquired the largest accumulation of producing oil and gas assets in Ontario. The assets in crude onshore oil wells and wells that produce only offshore natural gas for $129 million in March 2010. These assets further the company's goal of creating long-term value for shareholders by acquiring and developing high-quality, long-life assets. The acquisition was funded with $65 million cash and the balance with debt. The assets were placed in a wholly owned company, Dundee Energy Limited Partnership.
The Lake Erie assets, like Castor UGS in Spain, are located in a populous, industrialized consuming market that imports a large portion of its crude oil and natural gas. Oil and natural gas products production in Ontario attracts premium prices due to lower transportation costs than for production shipped from Western Canada. Being next to the large Ontario market and natural gas infrastructure provides an important advantage in the changing dynamics of natural gas markets and transportation in the area, and affords opportunities for business synergies.
Importantly Dundee Energy's acquisition of the Lake Erie assets included their potential for the significant development of gas storage, the feasibility of which Dundee Energy will evaluate.
In 2010, Dundee acquired a junior company, Torque Energy Inc., producing 84 bopd and 300 mcf/d from onshore fields with a reserve base of 0.7 million boe.
Dundee purchased an onshore, truck mounted drilling rig in 2012 to reduce the cost of drilling new wells, to provide flexibility in scheduling new wells and to improve the safety aspects of drilling in Ontario.

Render: Subaru Impreza WRX STi Concept by X-Tomi Design
Subaru used the New York Auto Show 2013 to showcase the Subaru WRX Concept; we then argued out that this could be Subaru's way of trying to gauge reaction to a dedicated WRX model range. In that regard, virtual tuner X-Tomi Design has decided to render a Subaru Impreza WRX STi based on the WRX Concept, notice the difference, Subaru omitted the "Impreza" name in the new concept, X-Tomi has incorporated both the "Impreza" and "STi" badges.
Having in mind that Subaru may be on the verge of creating an independent range of WRX models, one thing for sure is that the Subaru Technical Institute would soon premiere their very own tuned version of the WRX Concept to wear the STi badge.
X-Tomi's render isn't much different from the original concept; he has added a rear wing and his headlights differ a little bit not to mention a diffuser, conventional door handles and mirrors.
As for the Subaru WRX Concept, it will receive a turbocharged boxer 4-cylinder engine good for 275-300 hp, the STi model would get higher that with a good 350-400+ hp.

Ryan Halligan was taunted for months. Classmates spread rumours via instant messaging that the 13-year-old boy was gay. A popular female classmate pretended to like him and chatted with him online only to copy their personal exchanges and share them with her friends. Unable to cope, Halligan, of Essex Junction, Vermont, killed himself.
Gail Jones, a 15-year-old from Tranmere near Liverpool in the UK took her life after receiving, at one point, 20 silent calls on her cellphone every 30 minutes. Her father, Glyn, suspects a final call in the middle of the night pushed her over the edge.
These are extreme but far from unique examples of the devastation wrought by cyber-bullying. Since Halligan died in 2003 and Jones in 2000, more and more children are logging onto the internet, so it's likely that online bullying, including sending threatening messages, displaying private messages and posting embarrassing video and photos ...

Winifred Lutz: Ago/Anon
- Dates: June 15, 1990 through September 4, 1990
- Collections: Contemporary Art
... more
May 1990: A site-specific installation by Brooklyn-born artist Winifred Lutz will open in the Grand Lobby of The Brooklyn Museum June 15 and will remain on view through September 4, 1990. Entitled Ago/Anon, which refers to the past and the near future, the installation will base itself both figuratively and literally around the Museum's architectural features and the history of its collections.
Working in her signature medium, handmade paper, Lutz will enclose the Lobby's two columns, stained a terracotta color, in sheaths resembling giant beehives or cocoons. A passageway will give viewers access to the interior of each column in which, eight feet from the floor, Lutz will position an 1890s stone head from the Museum's collection.
Hanging from the ceiling in the center of the Lobby will be two concentric cylinders made of black nylon-mesh, which Lutz will light from above. On the floor beneath the cylinders will be a circle of metal leaf with concentric rings of white gravel, suggesting natural phenomena such as ripples in a pond or growth rings of a tree. The latter suggestion is reinforced by a painting of a growth diagram of a tree Lutz will create on the Grand Lobby's back wall.
Winifred Lutz was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1942 and later moved to Cleveland[,] where she received her bachelor of fine arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Since earning her masters of fine arts degree at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in 1968, Lutz has had a series of successful site-specific sculpture installations as well as group and solo exhibitions. She is currently Professor of Sculpture at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.
The exhibition is organized by Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art. The Grand Lobby installations are made possible by a generous grant from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund. Additional support comes from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
