He's co-starring alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the Wikileaks movie "The Fifth Estate," which is being released this week, and he also led racing movie "Rush" with Chris Hemsworth back in September. In "The Fifth Estate," Brühl plays real-life character Daniel Berg, who's portrayed as Assange's right-hand man, and also as the entity who tempered the fire of the internet icon.
Moviefone caught up with Brühl at the Toronto Film Festival, where he chatted with us about taking on real-life roles, what Daniel Berg is like in real life, and how the relationship between he and Assange grew, and ultimately fell apart.
How early on were you aware that this movie was going to be from your perspective as opposed to being from Julian Assange's perspective?
Daniel Brühl: I didn't know it when I received the script. I didn't know it beforehand. I knew who Daniel was, being German; he was in the media a lot so it seemed to me that he's a very reasonable, interesting guy. When I first heard about WikiLeaks a couple of years ago, I was sure that sooner or later they were going to make a movie about it. So it was strange to then participate in that project and to play Daniel. Again, [as with "Rush"] I was playing a real person. It was very helpful to spend time with him. He invited me a couple of times to his place, and explained to me a lot about his intense relationship with Julian, but also about his future plans. As I've said a couple of times, I didn't have any reason not to believe in his integrity. I had empathy with him. I share most of the opinions he has on things, so it was easy for me to portray him, and like him.
When you met him, what were a couple of the things that you needed to find out so that you could play him accurately?
Most of it is well-captured in the book he's written, so we focused on talking about the book. I also wanted to know how the dynamic was in his relationship with Julian, and what this moment in life meant to him. I realized that this was maybe ... or probably, the most significant moment in his life. And he was willing to do anything, as we see in the movie, to leave his job, to do anything to support WikiLeaks.
What did you discover about their relationship?
I think [Daniel] admired him because Assange is a very bright and intelligent man. Daniel just loved the idea behind WikiLeaks, and found it to be very important on a personal level. Daniel is a very patient, reasonable man, and at first he could cope with some inner conflicts that they had for the greater good. How available did Daniel make himself to you? I read that you spent 4 days with him.
It's difficult with these guys. He didn't have a mobile phone number [Laughs]. He also had a strange email address [Laughs], so it was hard and tricky. He doesn't live in Berlin anymore, he lives outside [the city], like an hour away, in a house. I visited him there, and we were having a conversation down in the kitchen. All of the sudden, two pale guys came inside and spoke French and I asked, "Who are they?" He said "Yeah, they're two French activists, IT guys working on the upper floor."
So he has a whole floor which is fully equipped with computers and everything. He would invite activists that he likes over, and they stay there for free and just work. That was my first impression: that he's a true activist. He didn't stop after that painful experience with WikiLeaks. But he goes on, you know. And I admire that. I love playing characters that I partly envy, because I also have a political conscience, but I was never that active. I didn't know how to do it. And it's a problem of our generation, I guess. Because it was easier back in the day, my parents' generation, they went to rallies and to demonstrations and you had clearer enemies. Today, it's all become a bit blurry and that's also what the movie's about: how we perceive information, what we should oppose, and so forth.
There's that part of it, but it also seems like it's the classic "bromance."
I always liked that structure. In a way it's similar to "Rush," because it's not the typical thing. You have the villain and the goodie, and you stay with one and only have empathy with one character. But eventually you have empathy with both, in both movies. I found that quite interesting; that's another parallel. And the movie doesn't make a final judgment. It's quite neutral, in a way. I found it very interesting, and a good idea to give Julian Assange the last word, to let the film end like it ends.
I assume that your relationship with Benedict also helped the quality of film's end product.
[Laughs] Benedict is the most British guy I've ever met. And the first time I met him in London, it was hysterical, because before he said "Hi" he could tell me what I had for breakfast, that I'm left-handed, that I was trying to quit smoking, and he even had a recommendation of how to better clean my shirts. And I said, "Hi, Sherlock, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm going to be Watson." [Laughs]
In the New York Times, you were quoted as saying something like 10 years ago for a German actor to have this kind of exposure would not have been possible.
This is so true, yeah, and I'm very glad that things have changed -- thanks to people like Quentin [Tarantino]. That was the first experience for me, in "Inglourious Basterds," and I heard that some of the American stars wanted to play certain parts in the movie, and Quentin said, "No, no, no. I just wanted to make it different and give German actors the opportunity to play Germans."
I found that very clever. It's also nice to see that more and more film companies, and Americans, are coming over to Europe, to Germany, to Berlin, to shoot their movies. Not only because of tax reasons, but also because of the facilities and the professional crews we have. And of the story, of the content of the story. So I find it very positive that if you're European or Asian or African, you should try and find actors who are actually from there. That makes cinema very interesting because you discover people that you didn't know before. So yeah, it gives us great opportunities. I hope.
Has acting in "The Fifth Estate" changed the way you think about media and Wikileaks?
Yeah, and it made me more curious and cautious. It's interesting to question information you gather from certain outlets, and I think it's a very good idea. The movie also refers to civil journalism, and to be more engaged as a citizen when it comes to getting your information and where you get it from, to widen your scope and not only trust one source. I can't say that I'm an activist again, but it changed the way I perceive news and information.
"The Fifth Estate" opens in theatres on October 18.

The bike starts easily and idles well, but when it's rolled off the centre stand or rocked back and forth it cuts out. No more backfiring it runs fine then cuts out as though the kill switch had been activated. As I say after each cut out it starts again fine.
I thought maybe some water had got in where it shouldn't be, fuel is fine, spark is fine so there must be a some electrical fault?
I left the bike for a day hoping it might dry out, but no change so I started checking out the connections. After an hour having checked and tightened all the connections I could think of and emptying both float bowls to make sure there was no water contamination. I try again but no luck. Now I'm stumped, any ideas?
ignition related, afterfiring would indicate no spark.
something cuts out when it gets warm, perhaps.
Not sure what ignition system its got, but do you have a spare known working ignition (bean) can to swap in? Or CDI controller, bolted to the bikes backbone? Seems like the problem comes from what is controlling the spark.

Counseling Associate's Degree Programs
Career Options
- School Counselor
- Family Social Worker
Expected Salary
Job Growth
These projections are estimates based on data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Those who are interested in counseling generally have a strong urge to help other people and inspire trust and confidence among their peers and the people they are counseling. The mental and emotional toll counseling takes on some people makes it a rewarding yet difficult field to master.
Career Options in Counseling
Associate's degree programs for counselors can prepare them for many different career directions. Some common counseling specialties are:
- School counseling
- Student affairs counseling
- Substance abuse counseling
- Geriatric or pediatric counseling
- Family and marriage therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Clinical counseling
- Career counseling
Depending on the area of counseling you are pursuing, you may be taking courses within your school's psychology department, criminal justice department, healthcare department, or another area. Some areas of counseling address destructive behaviors such as drug or substance addiction, gambling addition, and other negative life patterns. Other areas assist people in overcoming traumatic experiences such as domestic violence or abuse, while still other areas address difficult life issues such as aging, recovering from a physical injury, or choosing a new career direction.
Throughout these counseling specialties many concepts, such as communication and listening skills, ethics, and patient confidentiality will remain the same. Other concepts will vary depending on the specific associate's degree program you are enrolled in.
Counseling Program Curriculum
The courses that make up a counseling AS or AA program can vary widely depending upon the counseling specialty you choose.
The core courses are often broken down into these eight divisions:
- Social and cultural diversity
- Group Therapy
- Relationship Therapy
- Career development
- Human growth and development
- Assessing human relationships
- Professional identity
- Program evaluation and research

Kate Moss has some strange friends! Friends of the supermodel coughed up more then £40,000 on a personalized taxi as a belated birthday.
Moss' pals Sadie Frost, Fran and Charlotte Cutler, and Rhys Ifan's ex Jess Morris all pitched in for this customized taxi. A source told The Mirror: "Kate had been hankering after a taxi for ages but really wasn't expecting to be given one.
"It was a supreme effort by [her friends] to pay her back for all the freebies she has given them over the years. They each contributed a quarter of the cost."
As strange of a gift as it is, it's actually pretty cool, right?

from Undisclosed
It's only been 4 days but I completely disagree with a prior comment. My experience was GREAT; it made my acne prone and oily skin look even and luminous. The last powder I used just sat on my skin and would rub off if I would blow my nose or something, this stuff hasn't rubbed off at all but I can take it off with just washing! This stuff is worth the price!

Not the product it used to be AT ALL... I am trying to find a better option. Turns orange, looks caked on, poor coverage.

I used to use the clear complexion powder by Almay but recently, they discontinued that powder and came out with this to replace it. I bought this, thinking it would be the same as before, just different packaging. NOT EVEN CLOSE. It made my makeup cakey after a few hours, and turns orange after a few hours. I have very acne-prone skin which I work hard to keep under control. This product made me break out because it built up so much and clogged my pores. I don't know why companies try to change a good thing.

Following some funding cuts to outside agencies, Bedford City Council passed a budget last week that eliminated a proposed increase to the real estate tax rate.
Council was considering raising the real estate tax rate by 3 cents, but the approved budget keeps the rate at 81 cents per $100 of valuation. Most outside agencies, however, will see their funding cut by 50 percent. Also eliminated from the budget was a proposed $1 increase to the city refuse collection fee.
Jim Hendry enjoys bringing inspiring stories of the past to life.
Having taught history for years, Hendry, along with his wife Shelley and their children, now have His Image Ministries as a tool to present living history programs to audiences locally as well as in neighboring states.
This Saturday, June 14, Hendry will present the true story of Dr. Max Rossvally at 7 p.m. at the Bedford Academy for the Arts. The performance is described as being "a wonderful program to inspire the whole family and dramatically depict the power of one life."
A Bedford County man pleaded guilty, Tuesday in Bedford County Circuit Court, to injuring a 17-month-old child.
Robert Lewis Evans, 24, of Hardy pleaded guilty to child abuse and malicious wounding.
On Nov. 7, 2007, Evans and his girlfriend brought the child to Community Hospital in Roanoke. Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance said that they told the hospital that they found the child in his crib bleeding from the nose and ear.
For the 231 Staunton River High School seniors graduating last Saturday during the school's 45th Commencement held at the Liberty University Vines Center, it was a time for remembering the journey and for looking ahead to the future.
This year's graduation theme: "We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails."
And that's what the seniors were urged to do, prior to receiving their diplomas.
Jefferson Forest High School valedictorian Phillip Gorman, and the other speakers during graduation exercises held Saturday at the Liberty University Vines Center, urged classmates to strive forward in the journey that was waiting for them.
This year's commencement theme: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," by Lao-tzu.
"The future is forever long," Stated Gorman, urging each of the 320 graduates to not do anything they will regret later.
Diane Farley stood in shock as representatives from Bedford County Schools entered the lunchroom at Forest Middle School late Wednesday morning.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Bobbi Johnson carried a bouquet of flowers and balloons for the Forest Middle School American history teacher ? and the news that she had been chosen as Bedford County's Middle School Teacher of the Year.
"I am totally blown away," Farley said of the honor. "I've had a tough year personally and this is a perfect ending to maybe a new start."
Before handing out their diplomas, Liberty High School Principal Dr. Cherie Whitehurst told the 238 graduating seniors that they had a lot to look forward to in the years to come.
"You have an exciting future ahead of you," she said, during the ceremony held at the Liberty University Vines Center Saturday.
The theme of this year's graduation was a quote from Dr. Seuss: "Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel, Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind."
Debbie Newman always pictured herself as an educator.
And now, in her 27th year of doing just that, she's also known as Bedford County's Teacher of the Year.
Newman is Stewartsville Elementary's Instructional Technology Research Teacher. She's been at the school for 17 years. On Thursday a surprise ceremony was held for Newman in which the school's students and staff were joined by school administrators and members of Newman's family to honor her.
"I love coming to work here," Newman said. "I just love it."
It was 64 years ago Friday that the Bedford Boys came ashore on a French beach code named "Omaha." As it does every year, the National D-Day Memorial held a ceremony to commemorate the amphibious landing.
Friday was bright and blazing hot, a contrast to the overcast, cold, wet day when the men of the 29th infantry division went ashore in 1944. In spite of the bright weather, there was a somber aspect. Part of this is due to the fact that many of the young men who landed that day never came home. The other is that those who did are now slowly fading away.
A committee charged with looking at Bedford County's zoning ordinance language on religious assemblies held its final meeting last week.
The committee consisted of District 2 Planning Commissioner Lynn Barnes, District 1 Planning Commissioner Rick Crockett, George Nester, director of community planning and several church representatives. The committee has recommended making a religious assembly a use by right in all zones, except for industrial zones. It would also be allowed in industrial zones, subject to a special use permit.

More Small Bikes and More Big Canyons
After our December trip [ http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=295653 ] I felt a strong need to return to the sierras of Chihuahua. Dean felt the same and we talked Bill Jones into going with us. Bills DRZ400 qualified as a small bike.
We planned to meet with the rest of the spring Moto Mutz trip along the way and Tury from Chihuahua was planning to ride with us for a bit.
Dean kept a diary and also was the trip photographer. Most of the pics will be his and I'll include some of his notes. If there is a date on the pic it is Bill's. I took 26 pics, Bill took 92 pics and videos and Dean took 730 pics and videos.
I expect that Arturo, Dean and Bill will insert their comments here as well.
Our plan was pretty loose. We really had no idea what we would do beyond trying some of the stuff we didn't get done in December and showing some of the Mutz some new territory.
Here is where we went.
This time the Luxo-van was selected as the hauler of choice. This would be only the third time out of the garage in the last year, but it only has about 213K miles on it so I was pretty sure it would do the job. I loaded the DR inside and made a bed on the other side so we could get enough rest while driving straight through to Texas. Bill and Dean put their bikes on Bill's trailer.
Due to some scheduling conflicts we left a couple of days after the rest of the Mutz. Reports on their adventures are here:
After loading the van we left Minnesota about mid-morning on 3 Feb. There was the usual snow and ice in Iowa and Missouri with many vehicles in the ditches to add a little spice to the trip.
Dean sez:
4 Feb 08
Later in the afternoon arrived at Paul & Voni's, south of Alpine Texas. After unloading bikes we all walked across the highway to visit Cowboy Chris at his Cowtown Ranch, campground and hospitality center. Then back to Paul and Voni's for a great home cooked supper.
Bill, Dean and me with the faithful DR.
Paul and Voni pose with Bill and me at the ranch.

After yet another Texas sunset we were early to bed.
Tomorrow we go to Mexico.

To Chihuahua
Dean sez:
5 Feb 08000
Up early for our trip south across the border. 46 degrees, a north wind and partly cloudy. Border crossing at Ojinaga went smooth enough, got all our required permits and headed for Chihuahua. Arrived Chihuahua at 4pm and got checked into the Maria Dolores, and then to a key cutter to get some spare keys for Charlie. Arturo Macias (Tury) stopped by and we had supper with him at a local restaurant down the street. It was very windy today, head and side winds, had to shift down at times, mileage dropped to 49mpg while traveling at highway speeds against the wind.
At the border we found that we could pay for the tourist visa at the same place we bought the vehicle permits. This was the first time this service was offered to us and it sure beats looking for a bank. Since we bought insurance on line the only other stop was to buy pesos. I bought US$550 worth and was able to return US$84 worth as we left 19 days later. Travel in Mexico is cheap, less than $25/day.
After the cambio our next stop was at this overlook a few miles in, just before the station where they check your papers.
We entered the chapel to get out of the wind. Note the wind damage to the roof.
Either a drug deal or we are arranging our pesos. Ive never felt comfortable stashing cash on the street outside the cambio.
At supper with Tury in Chihuahua we did a little planning while the street vendor patiently waits for us to buy a candy bar. Tury will catch up with us in a few days. Dean was shooting the girl so all you can see of Tury is his hand.
Tomorrow well get to a dirt road.

To Creel
Dog of the day
We took Hwy 16 west toward Cuauhtemoc and turned south to San Francisco de Borja on a pleasant paved road. At SFdB we took a dirt road toward Carichi.
Dean Sez:
6 Feb 08
Met a man on horseback named Cosme with his white dog between San Francisco deBorja and Carichic on a scenic ridge and valley. Cosme spoke good English as he had worked in Memphis Tennessee. There he worked 70 hours a week at the St. Judes Children Hospital and as a bartender at a strip joint. Now back home in Chihuahua, he raises cattle on the rangeland.
We arrived in Creel and checked in at Margaritas, had a nice included supper of Chile Rellenos, and did laundry in the room. Tightened Bills spokes and lubed chains this evening before supper. Fun to all work together on the wheel. Todays ride included views of rolling hillsides, some with the incredible stone fences going up and over the hill, perfectly straight and solid in place with no mortar whatsoever. Lots of cattle, some pigs, wandering wherever they please, a goat herder with his wheelbarrow of fire wood. Many wash lines, one of which had the full-length skirts of many colors, back lit by the sun as they hung on the lines in their half moon fashion.
Our pack and ourselves were real dusty when we arrived in Creel.
We had to go through a few gates.
The road was not particularly challenging, but very pleasant with good views such as this one at our lunch stop.
Cosme was out checking on the livestock. He rode up and we said Hola. He replied How ya doin.
Bill poses for a scenery shot. I think I worked his the camera for this one.
Dean liked the stone fences
After lunch we finished to road to Carichic then continued on through Sisoguichi to Bocoyna where we took the pavement to Creel. I made a mental note to find the dirt route from Sisoguichi to Creel. I know its there somewhere.
Tomorrow we try to go to Batopilas.

Toward Batopilas
Dog of the day. If you are wondering about this, here's the deal. Dean took a pic of every dog he saw and he really liked them, so we are sharing them with you.
Dean sez:
7 Feb 08
Started out for Batopilas heading south from Creel on an amazing twisty mountain tar road, exhilarating curves, climbs and dips, with calendar views of mountain ridges in all directions, and local people here and there walking somewhere, or tending herds, or washing clothes in streams. We stopped for a lunch break at an overlook where 3 Tarahumara women weave their baskets, bracelets, dolls, and other assorted handicrafts for sale to passersby, each lady in her different brightly colored dress. It was here that Bills bike failed electrically and would not start. Charlie troubleshot and determined that we would have a better chance of finding a battery that could be used as a constant loss system back in Creel. Bill and I started for Creel, starting his bike with a down hill roll and bump start, it carried him all but the last half mile to the Pemex Station in Creel. This was more than expected as it ran very rough much of the 35 or so miles back to town. With my eighth inch clothesline, we towed Bill to the station, it was across the street that he and Charlie secured a battery and all the wiring to make the set up that would turn out to power his bike the rest of the trip.
We stayed at Margaritas sister property a hostel closer to the train station, Charlie secured a 3 bed room, with supper and breakfast, for somewhere around $10 per person. The entertainment that night was the light fixture in the room which was at just the right height for Charlie to hit his head on when he walked past or got out of bed. I think Bill and I stopped counting at around 11 hits.
Wandering around Creel you can usually find an interesting bike to look at.
Headed toward Batopilas.
The overlook where trouble began.
The shy ladies and their crafts.
Too bad we had so little space to carry things.
A few measurements pointed to a bad rectifier/regulator. We didnt have a spare.
Back in Creel we found a battery and the necessary parts to replace the stock battery with the enhanced capacity battery.
With a little work the bike was ready to go. The battery brand name was not re-assuring.
We later got a small piece of wood to put under the battery making the mount a bit more stable. We also bought a used battery charger for 500 pesos but later discovered that it didnt work. To our surprise, the seller cheerfully refunded the money. As it turned out, charging the battery was never a problem.
Margaritas hostel has secure parking, but it is several blocks away so we just locked up the bikes on the porch. They were fine.
Communal eating was the order of the day. This table includes people from New Zealand, England, Spain, the US and three bikers of questionable origin (not shown).
Bill displays the number of times I hit my head on the lamp. Later I got up to go to the bathroom thinking everyone was asleep. Bang - I hit the lamp again. Two voices from the dark corners said in unison Eleven.
Tomorrow we actually make it to Batopilas.

To Batopilas
Dog of the day and it's food source
We set out once again for Bato. All systems were GO.
Dean sez:
8 Feb 08
Made it to Batopilas today. Bills Constant Loss battery rig is working fine. It was great to ride the first 35 miles over again, we had lunch at the same overlook, and shared food with the Tarahumara women. There were 2 little girls with the 3 women today. The gravel and dirt part of the road to Batopilas is under construction shortly after leaving the tar road. We passed right through the construction zone on the motorcycles, feeling quite small next to the quarry trucks and other large earth moving equipment. The views on the way to Batopilas are spectacular canyon and mountain side scenery. The rough hewn rock road which snakes down the canyon clings to the side of the mountains, through switch back after switch back, just a two track, one must be ready for an oncoming vehicle around any of the switchbacks, at which time you move up against the mountain or out to the edge while it passes. A quick wave and a "Ola", brings the same back to you in return.
In Batopilas we are greeted by Charlie's son John and Richard D., both nice fellas, good comeraderie. Also staying at Hotel Mary was a couple and their nephew, Curly, and Barb and Dennis, very likeable down home folks from northeast Oklahoma. They drove their Mercedes 300 down to Batopilas to visit friends. Not the best suited car for the road, its lack of clearance presented a well founded concern, as the oil pan could be ripped open at any number of places along the route, or even on the streets of Batopilas. The friend they are visiting is a mechanic and welder, so I will accompany them to his home in the morning as he might be able to straighten and strengthen the bent rear rack on my motorcycle.
Lunch stop at the site of the regulator failure.
Dean poses with the shy ladies
Construction at the start of the dirt road to Batopilas. It appears that this road will soon be paved.
The view. This is required in any report on Batopilas.
This fellow was very proud of his leather jacket. He even showed us the label. He did need some money, which Dean gave to him.
The road to Batopilas.
Footpath on the right side of the canyon that extends most of the way to Bato.
Break time at La Bufa.

John got a really good deal on Cheesey Puffs.

Curly, the mechanic from Oklahoma, on the right.
Barbara, Curly's wife, with Dennis their nephew. Some of the nicest people you could meet.
Tomorrow is a non-travel day, but there are pictures.

This was my first trip to Copper Canyon, and my first trip on a small DS bike. I learned a lot about tightening loose spokes, what a regulator/recitfier does (when it's working) and how to not get in the way when people who know what they are doing help fix your bike. This is John Coons using his Leatherman to trim the platform for my big honkin' battery.
The next day we set off with John Coons and Richard Dvorak. At the Mission at Satevo, the girl in the background hit us up for a "donation". Before we arrived at the mission, Charlie warned us that she would appear, and she did, seemingly out of nowhere. I think Dean contributed to her cause.

I used to worry about buying my gasoline from 55 gal drums, pickle buckets and plastic orange juice jugs, but when you're many miles from a Pemex station, you're happy to find someone dispensing gas from anything.
Right after getting gas, One of our intrepid travelers (I won't name names, but his initials are CWC) started looking a little green around the gills. As luck would have it, in Morelos one of the none-too-ubiquitous public clinics was right across the street. While CWC was being treated, we chilled outside for a bit.
John, Arturo (Tury) and Dean. Arturo is a doctor in Chihuahua and knew the nurse working in the clinic. He's handy to have along!
"UMR" stands for something like rural free clinic. It's not quite free because you have to do some sort of community service as payment for the medical assistance.
Dean took a lot of naps, now that I think about it....
Our hotel in Morelos provided off-street parking (we alwasy looked for that), but you had to sqeeze through this gate and drive around back. In dusty little towns like Morelos gringos on motorcycles attract a lot of attention. More than once people would have seat just to watch us unload our gear.
Dean driving around the back of the hotel. I'm not sure why Arturo is holding a knife here, but it makes for an interesting picture.
John moves the laundry so Richard can park. The pale blue building on the left has the shower and toilet. In this hotel there were no bathrooms inside, so if someone (like me) got sick, it was a fast and frantic run downstairs and outside to the outhouse. I wasn't nearly as sick as CWC was, but I had a restless night.
Dean was a hit with the kids. He always handed out balloons or showed them pictures of themselves. This group became our posse and followed us around town for the next few days.

By the way, this is where I got the idea for the big honkin' battery. Two years ago Curt Henry "Hennepinboy" used this setup on another trip to MX. He says it's an old airhead trick for when your electrics go south (so to speak). Enrique Lozano "Quetzal" provides moral support.

We disconnected the lights to increase battery life.
I think we could have done the whole trip without charging the battery, but Bill did charge it a few times just to be safe.
IIRC the voltage never dropped more than 0.2 volts (from the fully charged 12.8 volts) between charges.
