Cultivating Goodness Go’s Kinzi Jones stopped by Raghida Naouri’s Kamal Gardens, an organic produce garden that doubles as a remarkable club for special needs adults

34 Go Healthy Cultivating Goodness experience the Blessing YoUrself

Kamal Gardens is located behind the Jubeiha Safeway, and will be opening again in early May every Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday afternoon from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. Visitors can meet the workers and see what is growing. Look for their produce and special employees at farmer’s markets this summer, too. Email Raghida for directions and information at kamalgardens@gmail.com.

aghida Naouri is one of Jordan’s unsung heroes for two segments of the local population: parents of special needs adults and lovers of organic produce. These two seemingly unrelated groups are brought together at her Jubeiha garden home, Kamal Gardens. She is the founder of this club for mentally challenged adults who cultivate and sell organic vegetables to Jordanians committed to healthier, and more eco-friendly, eating habits. Locavores who desire to return to the seasonal eating trends of traditional Arabia are delighted by Kamal Gardens' organic produce. Huge purple cabbages, zucchini, cauliflower, lettuce, and eggplant are among the delicious offerings of the planting seasons. Best of all, you can meet the young men and women who lovingly nurture these nutrient-rich and fiber-filled treats. Established as an NGO in 2006, Kamal Gardens, “creates opportunities for the special and challenged to integrate with society, to avail their right to a decent life, right for self-esteem, acceptance, and love.” Not only do the young adults work the earth, they learn to make pickles and jams, and create colorful cards — they also emanate a joy that is contagious! It was the birth of Raghida’s brother, Kameel that planted the seeds in her heart to help this neglected and often hidden population of Jordan. He was born with severe Down’s syndrome and from the outset her family made him a priority. When there were no schools in Jordan for kids with special needs, their father found one in Lebanon. The family visited him often and saw his amazing progress. Then such a school opened in Jordan, and he came back here to live. Although Kameel had a family, Raghida’s heart broke for his loneliness, always being outside the rhythm of life. She said, “I was very attached to him and understood his needs. He had a solitary existence, always watching others but

unable to participate. I wanted to become a special education teacher to help children like him.” But with no such degrees available in Jordan at the time, she studied business, working for her father’s company, and after marrying, she worked for her husband’s company. Kameel’s presence, however, kept her dream alive. In 2000, Raghida examined the Dutch Gentle Teaching Foundation, which focuses on the love and bond between special needs children and their caregiver. At the same time, she was also inspired by a Finnish project using agriculture as a means for such adults to have a sense of accomplishment and source of income. Her husband, who is passionate about cultivation, suggested they purchase a lot and open their own center — Kamal Gardens went from dream to reality. In the beginning, they sold their produce to neighbors, but word soon spread. It was just in time for many vegetarians and health-conscious Jordanians who were looking for alternatives to fruit and veg shipped from half a world away. So in stepped Kamal Gardens, which now hosts regular “Open Days” where families can visit and see exactly where the food on their table

Not only do the young adults work the earth, they also emanate a joy that is contagious comes from. Kids can see and feel the richness of the soil, rather than a sterile white Styrofoam. City life creates a disconnection from the agricultural heritage of most Amman-dwellers, and the happy workers of these gardens reconnect visitors to that important aspect of Jordanian history. Nearly finished with her PhD, Raghida will be looking for new ways to provide special needs adults with satisfying work. “Work gives them a chance to feel normal,” she says, “Sadly, adults with special needs are marginalized and misunderstood.” Her mother agrees, “Although I was disappointed when Kameel was born, we discovered later what a gift God had given us. His disability brought out the best in us all!” Raghida believes that special needs adults add purity to our lives as their hope and energy inspires; “They are a blessing to our lives, not a burden.”

Understanding Brush up on your veg terminology - Locavore: A term coined by a San Francisco group advocating the eating of food grown within a 100 mile radius of one’s location. - Organic: Food that is farmed without the use of pesticides, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms. - Natural Food: A food that has not been processed in any way that alters covalent bonds, and to which no artificial substance has been added. - Slow Food: Promoted as an alternative to fast food, striving to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourage farming of plants and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem. - Seasonal Eating: Consuming food that is grown in that particular agricultural season. - Genetically Engineered Foods: Foods that have had foreign genes (from other plants and animals) inserted into their genetic codes.

TWEET TWEET That’s right, we’ve been checking up on who’s Tweeting about us… Our favorite Tweet to-date: By alaa_abuarida @GoMagJordan Ok guys that’s it, we need more copies in the market of Go Mag, they disappear from the shelves quickly! WHERE TO FIND US ONLINE?

e decided that for the month of May, we were going to treat our readers and ourselves by indulging. So in light of this, welcome to our first annual "Food Issue"! The Go Team and our army of contributors had a blast going around Amman to track down the best and most interesting eats. Think, everyone’s favorite treats (like cakes and fast-food faves), adventurous eating (like Korean Banchan and Brazillian Churrasco), and original recipes (like Zikra Initiative’s Galayet Bandora and Mimi Wilson’s Mustard Chicken). But, if summer’s rapid approach has you on a healthkick then fear not! We’ve also got the lowdown on the top spots to get organic, natural, and healthy home-cooked meals (even delivered to your door!). Plus, with the Black Iris Festival and the ICS Food Fair happening this month, it seems we’re not the only ones on a food frenzy! If, however, you’re not much of a foodie, as always we’ve got our Go Active, Go Drive, and Go Community pages, which offer a complementary alternative to all of this month’s food features. In these sections we’ve covered everything from river trekking in Wadi Mujib, to test driving the Kia Soul, to a look at one of Jordan’s most outstanding special needs schools, the Mental Health Society of Jabal Weibdeh. Whether you live to eat or eat to live, and regardless of if you’re a long-time resident of the Kingdom or a newly arrived Go-Getter, you’re sure to learn something new through our pages. So, go ahead, enjoy, and bon appétit!

“Hannag”

Harmony Eating out at a restaurant can be one of life’s great experiences. When the food, drink, company, and venue come together harmoniously, it’s like a symphony of the senses. And when you find a restaurant that fulfills all these elements, it becomes a pride and joy that you’ve got to share with everyone you know! Bad Service An enjoyable meal can quickly become a regrettable one if you’re spending half the time waiting to order or insisting that you did not order the vegetable tempura! Service is just as important as the meal itself since great waitstaff can translate into a great experience, while bad service can turn a delicious dish into an overrated episode.

DINING OUT

SIGNAGE OF THE MONTH

MAY'S Mahmoud’s

HOT VS. NOT

Discovery A great thing about dining out is trying foods that you would never normally eat. But at a restaurant suddenly all is possible, and you may discover that eggplant is your new favorite vegetable or that seafood isn’t so bad after all! So go on and try it; after all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Extortion No matter how classy the restaurant or how exotic the produce — “these potatoes were grown on the peaks of the Himalayas, soaked in sacred water, and handpicked by Sherpas” — French fries are French fries! Dress it up however you want, but if you’re selling a 70 JOD burger, clients better be able to take home the tableware!

VERB. To freeze or hang (computer terminology). Eg. “I'll never get this essay done in time, the computer hannag!”

uried among the winding streets of Downtown lies dozens of spice shops ready to help you perfect your classic dishes or allow you to experiment with some new cuisines. The Balad’s Spice Souk (Subhi Al Khadhra St.) is within walking distance of the King Hussein Mosque (Al Hashimi St.) and contains rows of shops, big and small, with herbs and spices from all over the world. Often forsaken for it’s upscale counterparts in West Amman, no one can beat the Spice Souk for prices and selection. Some stores will make you feel like a kid in a candy shop with rows of shiny bins stacked with spices and dried herbs of every color, texture, and consistency 24 | MAY 2011

Seasoned Pro

Looking to add pep to your flavorless meals? Pick up some cinnamon sticks to add to your morning tea. Or try immersing some dried lemons in your next ricebased dish. Want a fresh summery drink? Head to the Spice Souk and buy some fresh hibiscus petals, a favorite for making light and fruity drinks.

— mustard-yellow cumin, hunter-green sage leaves, and piles of multi-colored tea leaves! Less formal stores feel more like factories, with sacks of spices from every country on the Spice Route arbitrarily stacked in each corner. But the Spice Souk offers more than just your spice needs; most stalls also carry miscellaneous staples like dried fruits, rose water, lentils, and legumes! And if you’re planning on cooking up a Jordanian cuisine storm then you’ll find all the tahini, kufta, and jameed you could ask for as well. I even found some snake oil — though I’m still debating whether to try it or not — the well-acquainted claim that it can be used to strengthen ones hair!

your thing head over to Al Thbakhee. This amazing store boasts about 14 types of zatar!

any people say that with unhealthy food readily available in huge portions, it’s more difficult to keep fit than it used to be. On the other hand, others point out that there have never been as many health-conscious products. As a business whose goal is to keep you trim, Live’ly leaves no excuse for those who want to lose a few kilos. Amman's Live’ly (Emaar Building, Zahran St.) opened midFebruary and offers everything a weight-watcher needs. Combining the world's top health programs, Live’ly has a plethora of services. For example, all new “friends” (Live’ly’s term for customers) go through a health analysis in the center’s nutrition lounge. Once information on BMI, metabolism, and eating habits is gathered, a clinical dietitian meticulously plans a custom dietary 36 | MAY 2011

A team of nutritionists and chefs prepares daily meals, delivered straight to the client's home, and every last calorie is counted to ensure that meals are both delicious and healthy. Food offerings are divided into gourmet, standard, and vegetarian, catering to all tastes. Menu items include mouthwatering dishes like Mediterranean tuna ciabatta, tomato and thyme roast beef with potatoes, and chicken kebab with rice pilaf. All are welcome to join Live’ly’s diverse program, making it familyfriendly and perfect for the healthconscious. An array of service packages are available at various price ranges.

DIARY OF AN ADRENALINE JUNKIE

Going With A thrill-seeker’s adventures by Go’s Karen Simon

Go took advantage of a hot weekend to go river trekking in Wadi Mujib, the world’s lowest nature reserve, with the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature

he Dead Sea is one of the top getaway spots for Ammanis, especially during sunny summer weekends where everyone’s looking to escape the city. Although, most never go further than the 5-star resorts that dot the Dead Sea Road in Sweimeh to take full advantage of all that this area has to offer. If, however, you venture out just a little further, past the Dead Sea public market, you’d eventually reach the Mujib Bridge and the entrance to the lowest nature reserve on the planet: the RSCN’s Mujib Reserve. An expansive natural sanctuary, Mujib offers everything an adventurist could ask for, from canyoning, to river trekking, to bird watching, and scenic hiking. So I thought, to enjoy the outdoors yet cool down from the sweltering Dead Sea heat, I’d take Go river trekking in the Mujib gorge for the day. River trekking in Wadi Mujib involves hiking upstream, often in water knee-to-thigh-deep, navigating against the current, and using ropes to climb up rock faces to advance deeper into the gorge. This sport is a great way to combine physical activity with sightseeing and — if you’re trekking in a group — team building, as you’ve got to move together and look out for one another to navigate further along the path. And if you hire an RSCN guide to take you along your trek, like we did, then he can educate you on all 40 | MAY 2011

the Flow

the fascinating facets of the Mujib Reserve, as well as showing you how best to negotiate the river and other trails you may choose to go on. If you’ve got a spare weekend this month and want to take advantage of the Kingdom’s great weather, change up your usual Dead Sea poolside plans and spend a day (or two) in and around Wadi Mujib.

My tip: When you make your way back out of the gorge, you advance with the river’s current. This means jumping off and sliding down rocks into the flowing river. Although this is safe as the water is deep enough, be aware that you’re moving in very close proximity to the gorge walls and that the river current may push you in certain directions.

TRAIL MIX

The RSCN offers a range of different treks across Mujib

DRY TRAILS Ibex Trail

Guided trail, 3 – 4 hrs, moderate, available all year This trail begins with a walk along the Dead Sea Highway to join the reserve trail and track parallel to the Dead Sea. The hike continues to the Raddas Ranger Station near which stands the Pillar of Salt Statue. Along the trail you may also see large horned Ibex, before continuing back to the Visitor’s Center at the reserve’s entrance.

Mujib Trail

Guided trail, 6 – 7 hrs, hard, available all year This trail starts east of the reserve, near Fag’ua Village. You’ll be guided on a steep descending trek into the reserve that boasts spectacular scenery.

WET TRAILS Siq Trail

Self-guided, 3 – 4 hrs, moderate, available 1 April to 31 October This begins with an easy hike from the entrance of the reserve into the Siq (or main gorge of the Mujib River). Here you follow the river between sandstone cliffs, moving against the current, to end up at the base of a waterfall.

Malaqi Trail

ED TO KNO NE You will get W

completely wet while trekking inside of Wadi Mujib, so if you’re planning to bring anything along with you (like a camera), make sure to have a waterproof bag.

Guided trail, 6 – 8 hrs, difficult, available 1 April to 31 October This water trail begins with the same route as the Ibex Trail but leads to the Hidan River (where you can swim). Eventually you'll move along the gorge to abseil down a 20m waterfall. From here you’ll follow the Mujib River back to the reserve’s start.

THE MUJIB NATURE RESERVE Covering 220km² this nature reserve offers outdoors lovers plenty to see Wadi Zarqa Ma'in

Wadi Zara

Canyon Trail

Guided trail, 4 hrs, difficult, available 1 April to 31 October Similar, but shorter, than the Malaqi Trail this route also follows the Mujib River to the top of the 20m waterfall, which is then abseiled down.

Fight School Go stopped by the city’s new Muay Thai Academy for a lesson in Thai boxing 101 Images by: Thaer Abu Hamdeh

uay Thai — also known by its adepts as, “The Art of Eight Limbs,” because while fighting one utilizes their two fists, two elbows, two knees, and two legs — originated centuries ago in Thailand, but has taken the world by storm to become one of the most popular combat sports today. Originally practiced during warfare by soldiers, today Muay Thai is mostly taken up by those looking to get fit, or by those wishing to learn self-defense. In Amman, Muay Thai originated in the late 90s, becoming more popular only in the last few years (along with the rise of Mix Martial Arts). The recently opened Muay Thai Academy is taking full advantage of the increasing demand to learn this intense sport, offering three separate classes, three times a week. Ismaiel, the head coach of the Muay Thai Academy, is also the former Muay Thai Champion for Jordan’s National Team (19952006), Champion of the Indoor Games (2005), as well as the Arab Champion in Kickboxing (2002). If you’re planning to attend this school, clearly you’re guaranteed to learn from a pro.

Muscle Matters

Go’s Ramzi Ghurani takes a closer look at a few of Amman’s popular health and fitness supplements providers Images by: Alankar Rai

ith today’s clutter of health and fitness supplement stores one can easily be confused. Trying to decide which solution is appropriate for your body, your wellness, and your workout goals isn’t always easy. Supplements can be effective in helping reach your objectives, but they also have the potential to either lead to negative effects on your health or not work at all. Prior to picking out what’s right for you and your health and fitness requirements, it’s important to do your own research, while a visit to these stores, with their informed employees, should provide you with some basics to get you going.

ED TO KNO NE To build W

you’ll want to take two to four grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight a day. So if you're 65 – 70kg, you'd have between 150 – 300 grams a day.

FIRST NUTRITION

Nestled in Abdoun’s centrally located Fawzi Mughrabi St., First Nutrition offers a comfortable setting for customers to seek out the right nutritional products for their workout needs. Specifically, customers can select products ranging from a great range of protein shakes, recovery drinks, protein bars, and more. On top of that the informative staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and they always seem to have great promotions! Fawzi Mughrabi St., Abdoun, (06) 593 0059, firstnutritionnews. com

PROTEIN!!!

Protein is made of amino acids, the basic building blocks of muscle, so you can’t build muscle without it

44 | MAY 2011

WHEY: This is awesome for post-workout supplementation because that’s the time when your body needs protein the most, and whey is digested very quickly (in about 30 minutes).

DNI NUTRITION CENTER Located in the heart of the hustle and bustle that Ammani’s know as Sweifieh, DNI is considered one of the leaders in Jordanian sports nutrition, having been around and supplying customers the best in supplements, for almost a decade. DNI offers competitive prices in the industry while offering quality nutritional and bodybuilding supplements such as Diamond Whey Protein, Creatine, Amino Acids, Thermogenics, Prohormones, and much more. Sweifieh, (06) 585 1188, dnijordan.com NUTRITION ZONE If you’re looking for a total health solution Nutrition Zone is the place to go. Unlike other nutrition stores it caters to customers looking for complete wellness in life. Nutrition Zone offers a range of products from protein shakes to herbal medicine to weight-loss supplements to vitamins for your children. Nutrition Zone even has Aloe Vera Shampoo; that’s what we call holistic! Ground Floor at Mecca Mall, (06) 550 4000, www.nutritionzoneltd.com

CASEIN: This, on the

other hand, is digested very slowly (between two and seven hours). That means it’s great to use a protein supplement with casein before bed because the longest time your body goes without protein is at night while you’re asleep.

EGG: Egg protein, or

albumen, digests at a medium pace (one and a half to three hours), so it’s a good anytimeprotein to provide a good sustained release of aminos to the body.

SOY: This protein is

the vegetarian’s friend because it’s one of the only complete protein sources derived from plants. Soy is a good overall protein, though it’s not as effective in absorbtion as whey or albumen. However, soy has many proven health benefits for women.

BLENDS: Either protein

supplements are straight whey, soy, egg, or casein, or they are a combination of any or all of these kinds of proteins. This means that blends offer different rates of digestion, so consult with a nutritionist if you're looking for details.

MAY 2011 | 47

DRIVE

Safety First

The Kia Soul brings you safety in style

The build of the car, which allows it to look like a cross between a sedan and a 4x4, hosts technologically advanced safety features. The Soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front and rear crumple zones, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, and a tire pressure monitoring system means that this dynamic vehicle is ready for anything. And with the electronic stability control, this compact car makes for a sturdier ride than most.

Soulful Sessions Go’s test driver Naji Nassar took the zippy Kia Soul out for an out of town spin Images by: Thaer Abu Hamdeh

Ne:Bo Restaurant offers patrons live entertainment along with lunch, as an oud player and percussionist performs from 2:00pm onwards.

The Soul made this road trip to Mount Nebo enjoyable and comfortable as its wide stance enhances stability and traction. The power rack and pinion steering make for an exceptional road feel, precise control, and responsiveness. And its 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder, 142 horse powered engine offers an impressive power-to-weight ratio, allowing more zip and less weight. Also, the car’s long wheelbase, not only helps in providing a smoother ride, but also a roomier interior. Kia’s Soul is an effortless ride; the speedometer changes color — from a white light in the day-time to a red-orange light at night — so that it's always visible to the driver in any condition. The rearview mirror displays the view from behind via a camera located in the back, allowing 130 degrees of vision, with a sensor to monitor objects close to the car. The enjoyment I took in the drive, feel, and look of the car on my way back to the Kia Dealership can only be described in one word: trendy. The Soul projects an image everyone will desire — imprints on the car body, a sleek looking dashboard, and lighting that makes your ride glow. This car truly has a touch of exclusivity and pleasure; it’s a ride with soul and it’s the new way to roll.

t was middle of the month and time to hit the road again. This time I felt the need to look different, feel different, and move different. I was looking for something that would make heads turn, have people envy me, and question what that ride was. So I figured, how better to achieve this than cruising around in Kia's Soul? As soon as I took the turn out of the dealership on Mecca St., I knew I wasn’t driving any ordinary car. My objective was met; heads turned as I cruised past and pedestrians ogled the car. What was my reaction? Enjoying every minute of it as I made my way out of Amman and towards Mount Nebo. I plugged my iPod into the Soul’s built in iPod connection, turned up the system, and watched as the car’s eight speakers moved to the rhythm and bass of the music, lighting up with the beat according to each song that came on. And what better way to enjoy cruising music on a road trip, right? Plus, while you’re out and about for the day, the Soul grants you plenty of room to pack away any items you may need. The car's nifty compartments located beneath the back seats are easily accessible, great vehicle additions.

Mount Nebo’s newest dining experience, Ne:Bo Restaurant offers an authentic Levantine experience with fantastic views As my test drive took me to Mount Nebo, I decided to stop off for a bite to eat on the way back to Amman. To my luck, Ne:Bo Restaurant, which I had yet to try but had heard so much about, was on my return route. This beautiful restaurant sits on the road that leads to Mount Nebo and offers diners a casual yet trendy place to indulge on local cuisine, great argeeleh, and breathtaking views. If you’re heading out to this area for the day, make time to stop and eat at Ne:Bo. You won’t be disappointed!

MARVELOUS MEGALITHS

Tucked away in Rasoon’s forests is one of the Kingdom’s last remaining dolmen fields Even more ancient than the Roman olive trees, Rasoon boasts some of Jordan’s most intriguing structures: 5000-year-old dolmens. These Bronze Age megalithic tombs were built by placing a huge flat stone across two or more upright stones. Who erected these, how it was accomplished, and why these 52 | MAY 2011

feats were carried out, remains a mystery. But what we do know is that Rasoon’s dolmens are part of an extensive necropolis, or City of the Dead, that extends east across the hillside. So if you’re heading to Rasoon for the day, be sure to scour the area for these amazing and puzzling ancient structures.

ETERNAL GROWTH

ordan is well known for its olives and olive oil production, which has been going on in this territory for centuries. The country’s mild climate, fertile soil, and proximity to the Mediterranean has translated into a place that is perfect for olive trees to thrive, and a trip up north to the village of Rasoon will show you just how well these plants flourish. Rasoon holds some of the oldest trees in the Kingdom as they are said to date back to the time that the Roman Empire extended south to Jordan. To find these trees, bypass the entrance to the RCSN's Ajloun Reserve and continue on to Rasoon Village, a breathtaking 5km drive just north of Ajloun.

As you drive along this hilly side road, the surrounding dense woodland consisting mostly of oaks intermingled with pistachio, pine, carob, and wild strawberry trees will offer some great countryside sightseeing. And finding the Rasoon Village is easy enough — just follow the road signs and eventually you’ll see a hillside town pop up before you. The village’s distinctly painted houses of yellow and orange make Rasoon hard to miss. As you enter the village, take the first road to the right and you’ll discover a magnificent orchard of historic Roman olive trees — Rasoon’s hidden secret. These ancient plants, with their gnarled contours, are scattered along the fields and dot the surrounding mountains, resembling old and wise gargantuan men. Here you can park your car and spend the day

exploring the area or picnicking with friends and family alongside these living fossils. It’s estimated — by the inhabitants of Rasoon — that these remarkable trees are at least 1000 years old or more as it’s believed that they were planted during the Eastern Roman Empire (476–1453). The contorted, knotted look of these olive trees, as well as their unusually large size in height and width, certainly suggest that they have been growing for millennia. In addition to being wonderful sights to behold, these ancient Roman olive trees also produce some of the most delicious olivebased products around. In fact, the Rasoon villagers claim, the

It's estimated that these remarkable trees are at least 1000 years old or more older the olive tree the tastier the olives and olive oil it will produce. Unfortunately, however, these ancient trees are endangered as their numbers have dropped in recent years. But government initiatives to replant them as well as increase awareness about their historic nature will hopefully revive the Roman olive trees’ growth. So take a weekend out this month to visit one of the country’s natural national treasures. A day hiking the Rasoon Village’s wild and grassy trails, and enjoying the presence of the centuries old olive trees, is guaranteed to be a refreshing retreat away from the capital’s bustling city life.

The olive tree (olea europaea) is an evergreen belonging to the Drupe family. Referred to as the “Tree of Eternity,” as it can regenerate itself, the olive tree has a gnarled trunk, which over the course of its long life, remains a modest size. These trees can produce fruit biannually for approximately 150 years, while the trunk generally dies after 200 years. But as the olive tree’s nickname suggests, the whole tree can be cut down to have new shoots grow at the trunk’s base thus regenerating this remarkable plant. MAY 2011 | 53

TOURIST IN YOUR BACKYARD

The Duke’s Diwan Go’s Felix Pagden-Ratcliffe headed to the Balad to visit the Duke’s Diwan, also known as the oldest house in Amman Images by: Thaer Abu Hamdeh

mblazoned upon the façade of the Duke’s Diwan at Number 12 King Faysal St. is the sign, “The oldest townhouse in Amman, now the Duke of Mukheibeh’s cultural residence open to visitors.” The building, which dates back to 1924, was originally the city’s main post office, later an annexe of the Ministry of Finance and, from the 1950s, the Haifa Hotel. Why the “Duke of Mukheibeh”? In the last few years, this townhouse has been carefully renovated and restored by businessman Mamdouh Bisharat, who owns land in the village of Mukheibeh, and is known as the Duke of the place. Thus “Duke’s Diwan.” The Diwan revolves around a central hallway, from which are accessible seven rooms decorated

with old photos of the city, paintings, and cabinets of brica-brac. In here you can get a feel for the Amman of old, so lost in the hustle and bustle of the more modern buildings that are not reminiscent of Amman’s history. Artists and locals will often gather here to chat, and if you’re lucky the caretaker may invite you onto the balcony for a cup of tea or coffee during your visit.

AFTERNOON DELIGHT Habiba serves arguably the city’s best knafeh — a must try if you’re visiting the Duke’s Diwan Located just by the Diwan, close enough to savor the wafting smell of freshly made knafeh, Habiba is one of Amman’s longestablished and celebrated knafeh-makers.

EXPLORE WHAT TO EAT

AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO

MARRAKECH Morocco boasts some of the best cuisine one can find, and there’s no better place to sample local delicacies than in Marrakech

Bastilla A sweet and salty meat pie dish traditionally filled with pigeon meat and almonds, but variations with chicken, lamb, or beef can also be found.

nown as the Red City, this lively place is divided into two parts — the Medina, which is the historical city, and the Gueliz (or Nouvelle Ville), which is the modern district. Marrakech also offers the largest souk in Morocco where one can buy virtually anything from décor to food to shoes, as well as boasting the Djemaa El Fna, considered one of the busiest squares worldwide. So if you’re looking to visit a bustling place with vast culture and delicious eats, then Marrakech is your destination.

GETTING THERE

Couscous A staple in Morocco made from semolina, these small granules are usually served with a meat and vegetable stew.

PLANE Getting to Marrakech just got easier and cheaper! With easyJet you can fly to LondonGatwick and then catch a direct flight to Marrakech (prior to this, getting to Marrakech required at least two stops). TRAIN If you’re a fan of the rails then you can also land in Casablanca and take the train to Marrakech. The ride is only 3 hours and tickets go for 7.5–13 JOD. Visit www.oncf.ma for more information.

A FOODIE’S DREAM Any gourmand would revel in the ambiance and food served up at Djemaa El Fna

After the sun goes down the Medina’s main square blooms with hundreds of stalls offering local dishes amidst dancers, musicians, and storytellers who each provide animated entertainment. For the epicureans who want to take some tasty treats home, the maze of souks surrounding the square have an endless choice of stalls selling sweets, spices, preserves, and kitchenware. Or one can enjoy a break during the day from a rooftop terrace by taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the city while sipping on some traditionally Moroccan green tea with mint.

WHERE TO STAY Bab Hotel Located in Gueliz next to a plethora of shopping and dining, the Bab Hotel is a modern boutique hotel where the young affluent local Moroccans like to frequent the onsite restaurants and nightspots. +212 52 443 5250, www.babhotelmarrakech.com

56 | MAY 2011

Hôtel la Mamounia Winner of Condé Nast’s award for "Hotel with Best Service," Hôtel la Mamounia is arguably Marrakech’s most famous hotel. Guests can admire its exquisite architecture, take a stroll around the grand Park La Mamounia, or retreat in the 2,500m² spa. +212 52 444 4660, www.mamounia.com

Riad Andalla Housed in a traditional Moroccan restored Riad and situated within walking distance from the Djemaa El Fna, the Riad Andalla offers a tranquil retreat amid the busy Medina. +212 52 444 5752, www.riad-andalla.com

Tajine Named after the triangular shaped clay pot the dish is cooked in, this slow cooked stew customarily uses either chicken or lamb combined with fruits, nuts, and spices.

Tanjia A dish native to Marrakech — also named after the clay vessel it’s prepared in — the tanjia is stuffed with lamb, preserved lemons, spices, and cooked for hours in the hot ashes of a hammam oven.

DELICACIES TO BRING HOME Chermoula A marinade made up of assorted herbs, spices, oils, and preserved lemons. Leems Preserved lemons Ras El Hanout Meaning “top of the shop” in Arabic, this spice blend can include over a dozen spices, is widely used in Moroccan cuisine, and no two blends are the same.

Sicily GLOBE-TROTTER

Epicurean Delights

South of Italy and surrounded by the Mediterranean, this island of celebrated cuisine is the gastronome’s dream

icily has long been a leader in the world of gastronomy.

From stuffed cannelloni to sweet torrone to crunchy panella and fried arancini, Sicily boasts the best of sweet and savory. So for an epicurean adventure — peppered with some mandatory historical sites — head to the tip of big boot Italy and over to the rambunctious island of Sicily.

CATANIA

Situated at the foot of Mt. Etna — one of the world's most active volcanoes — Catania is Sicily’s second-largest city. Boasting a bustling downtown area (that also features a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and a lively night scene (thanks to the university students), this city is the stop for bon vivants. Finding great places to eat and drink won’t be a problem in Catania, but make sure to swing by the daily Piscarìa by the Piazza Duomo (or Cathedral Square). This vibrant bazaar is hailed as one of the best fish markets in the world, and also sells an array of other products including cheese, meat, and baked goods!

NOTO

Destroyed by the earthquake of 1693, Noto was rebuilt by the River Asinaro to become a key city for Sicilian Baroque — an architectural style particular to the island. Today, Noto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site attracting tourists with its impressive structures and its delightful cuisine. During 14 to 16 May, Noto hosts the Infiorata di Noto, a flower art festival where the city’s Via Nicolaci is covered in petal mosaics. This amazing event can be enjoyed in between your trips to Noto’s cozy bakeries, family-run eateries, and convents (in Italy, nuns have long produced desserts) where you can find the finest dolce in all of Europe!

Location: Northwest of Sicily Closest Airport: Palermo International Airport Eat: Pani cà Meusa at Pane cà Meusa (Via Cala 62, +39 091 323 433). This beef spleen burger may not sound too tempting, but if you’re into trying new things this Palermitan delicacy is a must!

Location: East of Sicily Closest Airport: Catania-Vincenzo Bellini Airport Eat: Arancini at Pasticceria Savia (Via Etnea 302, +39 095 322 335). Dubbed “little oranges,” these fried and breaded rice balls are filled with meat, tomato sauce, and mozzarella — the perfect snack!

Location: Southeast of Sicily Closest Airport: Catania-Vincenzo Bellini Airport Eat: Granita siciliana at Caffè Sicilia (Corso Vittorio Emanuele 125, +39 0931 835 013). Enjoyed in a range of flavors like almond, coffee, and strawberry, this fresh treat will keep you cool in the Sicilian heat.

Capital and main city of Sicily, Palermo is rapidly becoming one of the top tourist destinations of Europe. With a rich history that includes Phoenician, Greek, Arab, Roman, and Norman rule, today this city has a distinct identity, which is apparent through its art, architecture, dialects, and food. If you’re planning a visit to Palermo the Palazzo dei Normanni (or Royal Palace) and its Cappella Palatina (or Palatine Chapel) are must-sees. And afterwards when you’ve worked up an appetite, the city center’s Vucciria or fresh fruit, vegetable, and fish market is the ultimate place to pick up some local produce.

In May, fly return to Sicily, Italy via Rome with Royal Jordanian and Air Italia starting from 704 JOD (including taxes). MAY 2011 | 57

of rural and urban communities through facilitating various group activities ranging from hiking trips, to traditional craft-making activities, to tomato harvesting and skilldevelopment workshops. Zureikat channels all the proceeds made from the initiative’s events, trips, workshops, and other happenings into microloans, which help fund local entrepreneurs as they initiate small community-based businesses. To date, over 20 families have benefited from these microloans and now have sustainable incomes. Zikra Initiative has also helped put two young community members through university. Having succeeded in putting a previously unknown community on the national and global tourism map, Zureikat hopes to replicate the Zikra model in other impoverished villages not only throughout Jordan, but also across the Middle East and North Africa. You too can be a part of this exciting endeavor. Contact them for more information on upcoming activities, or if you have a particular skill to share with the community, go ahead and touch base with Zikra to initiate a workshop.

hiking trips and “Bandora Days” are available to for only 25 JOD and 20 JOD respectively. Log on to their Facebook page for details.

By "Exchange Tourism," young, generally well off, residents of Amman get to visit Ghor Al Mazra’a for a day working shoulder-to-shoulder with the local community on different projects and activities reflecting the unique cultural features of this agriculturebased region. On “Zikra Bandora Day,” visitors are taken to the valley to learn about the community’s agriculture sector while they are given a hands-on experience of harvesting tomato crops throughout the five-month season. In return, participants get to learn the process of making traditional dishes with the freshly harvested tomatoes like the galayet bandora, or tomato stew. Visitors also get to try their hand at making traditional flat Arabic breads, which they get to eat along with the stew for lunch. Zikra’s other activity branch, "Development Through Arts and Culture," is aimed at fostering creativity among Ghor Al Mazra’a residents while preserving the indigenous local culture. This branch facilitates skill-development workshops — like traditional handicraft and visual arts production — that engage various Amman-based organizations and skillful, talented urban residents, while promoting the community’s cultural identity and helping Ghor Al Mazra’a residents better manage their cultural resources.

Preparation: 1. Cut the stew meat into half-inch cubes (if applicable). 2. Season it with cumin and paprika. 3. In a saucepan, heat olive oil to medium high. 4. Brown meat in olive oil, and then add jalapeño(s) and tomatoes. 5. Lower heat to simmer, and cook until meat is tender and sauce is nice and thick, but not dried out. 6. Serve over rice, or as a dip with warmed arabic bread. MAY 2011 | 61

Hope School Images by: Maria Escamilla Aldaoud

Go’s Maria Escamilla Aldaoud visited the Mental Health Society, a non-profit school for special needs students, to find out more on this amazing institution

EDTOKNOW NE

Contact Manal on sehanafsea@ hotmail.com to find about more about this remarkable special education school today!

t the heart of Jabal Weibdeh, the Mental Health Society For Special Education houses the dream of 21 inspirational doctors who gathered in 1970 to create a safe haven for children with special needs. Today, 41 years later their venture has blossomed into an institution nicknamed "Hope School." The Mental Health Society is a non-profit school staffed with 11 people, catering to the needs of 70 learners at a time. The school’s special needs students range between the ages of 6 to 30. Once accepted into the school the learners are allowed to stay for as long as they want or up to the age of 30. Today, several students have even stayed on to become part of the center’s staff. Six dedicated teachers instruct the students in the fundamentals of reading, writing, and maths. Along with these basics they also teach the children the importance of daily personal hygiene and its application. Additionally, the Mental Health Society focuses on teaching self-expression, which is taught through the mediums of art and physical competition. For instance, this summer, some of the Hope School’s students will have the privilege of traveling to Greece to compete in the Athens Special Olympics. This diverse school also provides a workshop within the center for students who are interested in learning the trade of crafting hand baggage. Within this important class students learn to become productive members of society and in turn the Mental Health Society is teaching them how to earn a living for themselves. There is a great need for such constructive schools in our Kingdom, but with the rise of prices the Mental Health Society For Special Education could easily become obsolete and the dream of these doctors shattered. As compassionate educated people it is our duty to make sure dreams in our Kingdom stay a reality and that special needs students are met with all the services they require. To find out how you can become involved in the Mental Health Society call (06) 462 1001 today, or stop by for a visit at #8 Abdel Zaeter St., Jabal Weibdeh.

BOOK RELEASES

SIXKILL Robert B. Parker Putnam Adult Release Date: 3 May While filming in Boston, actor Jumbo Nelson is accused of the rape and murder of a young woman. The case is suspicious from the outset, so the Boston Police calls on private eye Spenser to investigate. Hopes aren’t good for Jumbo, who is as famous for his wild lifestyle as he is for his films. During the investigation, Spenser meets Jumbo’s bodyguard, Zebulon Sixkill, and the two forge an unlikely alliance. As the case grows darker and secrets about both Jumbo and the dead girl come to light, Spenser and Sixkill must put things right. Reason to go read it: Because this is the 40th and last book of the acclaimed Spenser detective series!

DEAD RECKONING Charlaine Harris Ace Hardcover Release Date: 3 May With her knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Sookie Stackhouse witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte’s, the bar she works at. The bar’s owner, Sam Merlotte, is two-natured, so his suspicions fall immediately on the local “anti-shifters.” Sookie suspects otherwise. Her attention is divided, however, when she realizes that her lover and his child are planning to kill their vampire master. Sookie is gradually drawn into a plot that thickens at every turn and which is more complicated than she had ever guessed.

The group was summoned to travel back in time to Danu Talis and destroy it. For the island of Danu Talis, known in human myth as Atlantis, must fall for the modern world to exist. Reason to go read it: Because, as the secondto-last novel in this popular children’s series, you’ve almost discovered the final truth!

aren Asfour didn’t plan to be a writer of children’s books. But while in the airport in Dubai, she saw quality kids’ books written by expats like herself and she thought, “I can do this!” So on a plane between Muscat and Amman, she wrote the English version of Anzeh Al Azeeza Cleans Up Petra. Just like that! In a perfect storm of inspiration, Karen’s passions for children, reading, and Petra’s environment came together in a Jordancentric tale of a goat who made a difference in preserving Petra’s natural beauty. Karen’s husband Mohammed surprised everyone by providing the clever corresponding rhyme in Arabic so all the children of Jordan could enjoy the story and learn the lessons within. Natalie Hijazi’s delightful illustrations bring the story to life. Nadine Toukan sponsored the printing, and a portion of the proceeds will be given to the Petra National Trust. Make sure your child’s school has a copy, and be ready for more amazing stories to come from Karen Asfour.

CD RELEASES Go’s music savant Greg Dukeson, gives us the lowdown — from rock to hip-hop to pop — on new album releases out this month

WHAT GO’S LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW

Working Man Rush Rush

When I Go Emancipator Soon It Will Be ...

RADIOHEAD THE KING OF LIMBS SELF-RELEASED

Let’s start off with a bit of trivia: this album is named after a tree that is said to be over 1000 years old. The album's artwork, inspired by twisted forms of nature, maintains the theme. Radiohead announced last September that they’d been busy recording new material and this album is the result. It’s already had favorable reviews and is said to be more “mellow” than In Rainbows. The album definitely has a more haunting feel to it. On, “Little by Little,” Thom Yorkes' voice hovers over a busy combination of rock-jazzfunk — these guys know how to play around with sounds and make them work, but they’re Radiohead so nothing should surprise us! Release Date: 9 May Reason to go listen to it: Because if you buy the actual CD you get some cool free stuff!

PRIMAL SCREAM

Screamadelica

When the album Screamadelica was released, it became known as the defining album of the 90s with some still listing it as the best of the decade. This DVD/Blu-Ray release (out 31 May) will show you why the 90s rocked so much, despite being the, “forgotten decade of music.” Primal Scream's, “Movin’ on Up,” is still an awesome track today and this is your chance to see, hear, and almost feel it, live. 68 | MAY 2011

LADY GAGA BORN THIS WAY INTERSCOPE

In early 2011 we already heard people getting excited about this album. And sure enough, the title track was an instant hit worldwide. Lady Gaga herself boasted that this is the best album released by anyone in the last ten years and, whether you want to argue that or not, she got everyone pumped about it! The second track, “Judas,” is quickly gaining popularity and, love her or hate her, Gaga’s the iconic music figure of the moment and this album is actually very good! Release Date: 23 May Reason to go listen to it: Whether you’re black, white, beige, chola descent, Lebanese, or Orient, you’ll enjoy it!

BEASTIE BOYS HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE 2 CAPITOL

This album was originally slated for released in 2009 but as Beastie Boy, Adam “MCA” Yauch, was diagnosed with cancer, they naturally delayed it until he had recovered. This trio has already seen an accolade with the track, “Too Many Rappers” being nominated for a Grammy as the "Best Rap Song by a Group"; pretty impressive given the competition of rappers! You can already download, “Make Some Noise,” which is Hot Sauce's first release if you want a taster, but if you simply buy the whole album, you won’t be disappointed! Release Date: 3 May Reason to go listen to it: Because these guys have rocked since 1979 and kudos to them — they’re still doing it well!

LIL WAYNE THA CARTER IV CASH MONEY RECORDS Down Under Men At Work Business as Usual

Breakadawn De La Soul Buhloone Mindstate

Ghetto Gospel 2Pac Loyal to the Game

You hear him on so many collaborations now — a testimony to Wayne's status in the music biz. This has been earned as Tha Carter III sold over 3 million copies making it 2008’s bestseller. Tha Carter IV's lead track, “6 foot 7 foot,” samples the catchy Jamaican tune, “Day O,” and has hit the US Billboard Top 100 at #9. It’s a successful album already, but Wayne’s people claim that they delayed its release as they have a monster single coming up soon — given the success he’s already had, I’m excited to find out which one is the monster! Release Date: 17 May Reason to go listen to it: Because you’ll be able to play the, “guess which one is the monster,” game while you listen!

DREDG CHUCKLES AND MR. SQUEEZY OHLONE RECORDINGS/ILG

From the track, “The Thought of Losing You,” the words, “Today is a new day, put the pain away,” instantly had me hooked. Dredg are a US rock band, but they have a wonderful “mainstream” sound on this, their fifth album, that maintains an “alternative” feel. “Upon Returning” is slightly edgier and heavier but again, the song's lyrics and rhythm make it a pleasure to listen to. I already love this album and I want it NOW! Release Date: 3 May Reason to go listen to it: Because it’s lyrically and musically one of the most instantly appealing albums I’ve heard in a long time!

FOODIE BANDS! Who knew there was such a link between music and food?

SALAM

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Go’s Ramzi Ghurani chats with Salam Homoud of SALAM for a deeper look at music in Jordan Go: When and what got you started? Salam Homoud: The band SALAM was formed in early 2008, but I began playing and making music 15 years ago. I fell in love with music the minute I heard an electric guitar. Before that I never had any interest in music at all. Plus, being an overactive kid, playing the guitar was the only activity I enjoyed doing for hours on end. I couldn’t stop. Go: Which era/decade of music had the most influence on you? SH: I would say the 90s. There’s cool music now, but it’s not what it used to be. Discovering new music was like finding the Lost Treasure of Montezuma and collecting an artist’s discography was an achievement in itself. Now, anything and everything is available in abundance. Go: Which artists influenced you? SH: I would say Joe Satriani, Sting, Yann Tiersen, Motörhead, and many others. Go: What’s your opinion of the music scene in Jordan and the Middle East? SH: There has definitely been new interesting alternative movements springing up in the last few years, but they still need more space and time to grow. Bands need ongoing support and funding so they can deliver high quality music.

1944

Go: What events have you particularly enjoyed being a part of in Amman? SH: I enjoyed being part of 2010’s Jordan Festival. We also had a couple of cool album launching gigs last February. The band and I toured Egypt in October last year as well; it was great playing in front of a completely new audience. Go: Where do you want to perform in the future? Describe the setting. SH: At some point, I’d love to play a sold out show at a stadium — that would surely fulfill a childhood fantasy.

Blue Oyster Cult

Korn

Cranberries

Go: Tell us a little bit about this album? SH: The album showcases musical styles I love. 1944 includes songs in Arabic and English as well as two instrumentals thrown in for good measure. I chose the title (which is also the first track's name) because it’s a song that represents conflict, and 1944 was a year of unrest. The duality of having 1944 be the name by a band called SALAM (“peace”), appealed to me.

Go: What does the future hold for you? SH: I honestly can’t wait to start working on my next album. Plus, I’m looking forward to performing gigs in the summer and maybe even performing abroad again. Go: First album you bought? SH: This may come as a surprise, but it was, Regulate... G Funk Era by rapper, Warren G.

Salt N’ Pepa

Uncle Kracker

Go: Any shout outs? SH: Eka3 for printing and distributing my album. Family and friends for their support. Go: Any last words? SH: Support local bands by going to their concerts and buying their albums. Speaking of which go out and get a copy of 1944!

HEY DJ! Go chats with HD FM 104.2’s Sasha Rabadi to discuss all things music related Go: How long have you been a radio DJ for? How did you start? Sasha Rabadi: Becoming a radio DJ was something I always wanted to do, but life and circumstance have a way of interfering with the things you want to do. I had been doing voiceover and narration work for many documentary and television programs in Jordan for the past several years while also working behind the scenes in a management capacity at HD FM. I received a lot of positive feedback with respect to the voice-overs and radio commercials so I talked it over with the powers-that-be at HD and we agreed to put me on the air fulltime about six months ago! Go: What is your opinion on the music scene here in Jordan? SR: Jordan, and more specifically Amman, has a thriving music scene with many talented musicians. The range and diversity of music you can find here is unprecedented. You have the western influenced musicians playing rock & roll, hip-hop, rap, blues, heavy metal, and more. Of course you also have the traditional Arabic musicians and those who incorporate modern influences like hip-hop beats and electric guitar. It’s just a great time to be a music fan in Jordan!

Go: What do you think of this “Auto-Tune” phenomenon? SR: I know a lot of people have a very negative opinion of auto-tuning, but to be honest it can be used effectively to make music better. Of course you have a lot of people who CANNOT sing who over-use auto-tune, but when Cher was using auto-tune 13 years ago on “Believe” no one was complaining about it because it made the song better. I guess it’s ok to use auto-tune as long as it’s not over-used. If a musician or producer uses it to clean up a song a bit that is fine by me but when you use it to sound like an android that’s when I start to have a problem.

Go: What do you think about the free downloading of music from applications like LimeWire, eMule, and BitTorrent? SR: I can really understand both sides of this argument. We have all downloaded songs at one time or another, but to me there is a happy medium. I have downloaded (in the past!) to hear a particular song or two before deciding to buy the album. If I like the song I download, I am infinitely more likely to purchase the entire album because I believe in the rights of artists Go: What music do you mostly listen to and musicians to protect their hard work. during your downtime? The issue becomes more complicated when SR: My personal musical tastes are diverse. you start discussing the rights of the consumer. During my formative years I listened to a lot of For instance, if I purchase an album on CD and alternative rock and blues and I still like to mix a want to put it on my iPod, I don’t feel I should bit of the older music into my playlist, but I also have to purchase it again in electronic format. enjoy modern music a lot. If you borrowed my On the flip-side there are numerous iPod you would hear anything from The Cowboy successful artists in the music industry who owe Junkies to Lady Gaga to Credence Clearwater a large part of their success to the downloading Revival to Santana. I guess it’s hard to really phenomenon. A lot of musicians put their music classify my musical preferences… I like it all! out there to generate interest and drum up

support and then use that as a springboard to better record deals. Go: Which singer/band/DJ would you love to see perform live here in the Kingdom? SR: Hmm… this is a tough one. As I said earlier I like a wide variety of music. I guess if I had to choose one singer to see live here in Jordan it would be J.Lo. I just think that her show would be so much fun!

Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull off one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he’s not the only one on their tail.

HEREAFTER

Director: Clint Eastwood Cast: Matt Damon, Cécile De France, Genre: Drama/Fantasy MPAA Rating: PG-13 George (Damon) is a blue-collar American with a special connection to the afterlife dating from his childhood. French journalist Marie (de France) has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when a London schoolboy Marcus loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each seeking the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might — or must — exist in the hereafter.

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

Director: Francis Lawrence Cast: Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz Genre: Drama MPAA Rating: N/A Based on the acclaimed number-one bestseller, Water For Elephant presents an epic tale of forbidden love in a magical place filled with adventure, wonder, and great danger.

11 MAY

PAUL

Director: Greg Mottola Cast: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen Genre: Comedy/Sci-Fi MPAA Rating: R For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town — a rented RV containing earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost).

IRONCLAD

Director: Jonathan English Cast: Kate Mara, James Purefoy, Paul Giamatti Genre: Action/ Adventure MPAA Rating: R Travelling back to the dark, brutal past of 13-century England, Ironclad plunges us headlong into one of the most violent, pivotal moments in English medieval history — when a few good men fought against insurmountable odds to defend their country from a megalomaniac, blood-drunk king. Torn from the pages of history, the devastating battle for the castle of Rochester is a true story of honor, action, and excitement.

ARTHUR

Director: Jason Winer Cast: Russell Brand, Jennifer Garner, Helen Mirren Genre: Comedy MPAA Rating: PG-13 Kind-hearted, funloving, and utterly without purpose, Arthur spends every day in the needless pursuit of amusement, but when his unpredictable public image threatens the staid reputation of the family foundation, Bach Worldwide, he is given an ultimatum; marry the beautiful but decidedly unlovable Susan Johnson (Garner), an ambitious cooperate exec who can keep him in line, or say goodbye to his billion-dollar inheritance and the only life he knows. It’s a deal Arthur would be inclined to take… if he hadn’t just fallen for Naomi,

a New York City tour guide who shares his idealism and spontaneity.

PRIEST 3D

Director: Scott Charles Stewart Cast: Paul Bettany, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q Genre: Thriller/Sci-Fi MPAA Rating: PG-13 Priest, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an alternate world — one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on an obsessive quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend (Gigandet), a triggerfingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

When Jack crosses paths with a woman from his past (Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love — or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.

Before we go...

BLOGGER OF THE MONTH

Name: Summer Age: ;) Nationality:

Summer

Jordanian

Blog Name: Mimi Cooks & Sophia’s Sweets Blog URL: mimi cooks.com & sophies sweetchoice. blogspot.com

Go: How long have you had a blog for and what got you into it? Summer: Five years. It was the “new thing” to do online a few years ago; blogging was talked about everywhere. I’ve always had this inquisitive mind and loved learning new things, so I gave blogging a try and I liked it. I enjoyed reading many blogs first, and then decided to create my own personal blog.

GO SUDOKU!

Go: What are your favorite things to blog about ? S: Travel, my family, and cooking. I loved the interaction with my readers. I continued blogging for a while on my personal blog until I decided it wasn't what I wanted to write about anymore. Food and cooking are my passions so I decided to create a blog combined with video recipes that I videotaped in my own kitchen. It was challenging at first to learn how to edit videos, but in no time I got it! I received a lot of encouragement from my family and friends, and praise from people who read my blog and viewed my videos online. I decided to stick to food

96 | MAY 2011

Go: If you were on a desert island and could access only one social media site, which one would it be? S: Twitter. It provides links to interesting stuff and keeps me upto-date with what’s going on in the world instantly, which is what I like about social media. No delays on getting constant changes in the news — although the truth behind tweets has to be verified! Go: How do you think social media in Jordan is faring today? S: Since the majority of Jordan’s population is young, I imagine social media has a huge effect on the people. I hope it enriches the society and helps people get connected for the benefit of their own personal and professional growth.

QUICK QS: Blogger or WordPress? Blogger Copyright or copyleft? Copyright Mac or PC? Mac Desktop or laptop? Laptop iPhone or BlackBerry? iPhone CD or MP3? MP3 Coke or Pepsi? Water Na’meh wella khishneh? I like khishneh for the one I make at home, but I prefer na’meh when I get it from Habiba :)

blogging and so far it's been rewarding! Helping a newly wed cook her husband’s favorite dish, or a student away from home craving a home cooked meal is very rewarding. I have pride in my work as I'm able to help others! Plus, I modify my recipes to make them easier to cook, healthier to eat, and appealing for all to try. Go: How did you come up with the name “Mimi Cooks”? S: I wanted a catchy name that

would attract others. My other blog, “Sophia’s Sweets” is named after my eldest granddaughter, Sophia. She wanted a Website with her name on it, so I created the dessert blog to make her happy. When my younger granddaughter Amira was only a few months old, we nicknamed her, “Mimi,” and the name, “Mimi Cooks,” was available online so I snatched it up! And now that I have a third granddaughter, one day I’ll have to create another blog with her name on it too!

AHEAD OF THE GAME

June may be a month away, but Go‘s always looking ahead

Cage Warriors Fight Night 1

Go: What is your advice to those looking to enter the blogosphere? S: Before you start blogging, do your homework; decide on what you want to blog about and what type of audience you're aiming at. Once you create a blog, visit other blogs and leave comments so others will visit your blog too. A little shameless self-promotion doesn’t hurt! Commit to your blog to keep it interesting. And when you start getting comments, reply to each of them. Treat those readers and visitors like guests in your home! Last but not least, stay anonymous! There's lots of people with twisted minds out there who might discourage you from blogging your own harmless thoughts. Be sure to pick up Go’s June issue, which promises to be an actionpacked edition!
