مقررات القمة العربية : على طريقتنا !

مقررات القمة العربية : على طريقتنا !

 

 

ماذا قرر العرب؟

غريب ان ترى كلمة قرار تتلازم مع “عرب” والاغرب هو ان اي قرار هو سبق واقر اي انه بالمختصر يكررون القرارات، فكان اهل البيت يانبون اطفالهم حتى بات الاطفال “جلقين ، كمخين” بالمختصر “مدلعين” .المثير للاهتمام ان الاطفال كانوا يتناحرون من اجل القمة فبتنا لا ندر ان كان سبب الغيرة استفزازي عقائدي وحتى تميز بين الاطفال المهروقين …. هذه الحال “الغيورة ” دعت ” القمويون” تانيب “هالاولاد ” فكانت المقررات كالتالي :

 

-         الى الطفل “لبنان”:

كم مرة بدي قلك تجمد، صرلك 30 سني معوفنا الله ، صرت قد الدب وبعدك بتحركش  باخواتك ، انتبه كتير منيح اذا ما بتسمع من بيك عمرو موسى رح تشوف شي ما بيعجبك !

 

-         الى الطفلة “سوريا”:

من هلق ورايح اذا ما بتنتبهي عخيك الزغير بعاقبك الك على اغلاطوا ، مات الحريري وانت ما انتبهتيلو انت المسؤولة عن موتو … واذا بعد مرة بصرلوا شي : ما حدا بينلام الا انت !

 

والعقاب من هذا اليوم هو المحكمة الدولية ، سوريا ستحاكمين في المحكمة ان لم تنفذي الوصية ولبنان ان خاصمت اخاك اللبناني “حسابك بالمحكمة”

 

شو فهمنا !؟

Chelsea, Mom better President than Dad

ALT TEXT

Democrats in Texas are holding county conventions Saturday including this one in Travis County.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama scrambled to secure Texas’ last remaining Democratic National Convention delegates Saturday as the state pushed to settle the outcome of the March 4 caucus.

Early results tallied by The Associated Press showed that Clinton had 301 delegates, or 60 percent, compared to Obama’s 202 delegates, or 40 percent. That’s out of about 7,300 delegates expected to be selected at about 280 county and senate district meetings across the state Saturday.

Those delegates will decide the final allocation of national convention delegates at a state convention in June.

Because of the huge Democratic turnout in Texas’ primary and caucuses on March 4, just registering delegates at took hours at some state and senate district conventions Saturday. At large conventions in Houston, Dallas and Austin, arguments erupted and confusion set in as complaints were lodged about the legitimacy of some delegates.

Credentials committees heard challenges lodged against the way certain delegates were selected at precinct caucuses in early March. Frustrated delegates shouted at credentials committee members in Senate District 23 in Dallas.

Many of the challenges were brought by Clinton supporters questioning the validity of Obama delegates. The Clinton campaign said it wouldn’t lodge any challenges itself but that it was helping supporters who would.

Obama was also lodging challenges in some counties regarding the complext formulas used to determine delegate counts, said campaign spokesman Josh Earnest.

“This math gets pretty complicated pretty quickly,” he said.

But Earnest said that unlike the Clinton campaign, the Obama campaign wasn’t challenging the seating of particular delegates.

“They’re engaged in a coordinated strategy to challenge our delegates and we’re not,” he said. “It’s disappointing to see the Clinton campaign throw up these obstacles.”

Clinton adviser Terry McAuliffe said Saturday as he drove between Democratic conventions in Georgetown and Waco to rev up Clinton supporters that the Clinton campaign has “not raised any of the challenges. A lot of our supporters have.”

The Clinton campaign had previously said it was aiding supporters with legal advice and guidance on their challenges, state party officials said earlier this week. So the campaign is taking a behind-the-scenes approach, using its delegate supporters as the complaint filers, they said.

كيف ساكتب ؟

 

حين تنتهي هذه الاعصاب ….ماذا يبقى ؟
كيف ساكتب ؟ ماذا ساحرق فوق الورق
كيف ساجعل الافكار تتكاثر
ان فقدت اعصابي ماذا يبقى

لم تريدون معرفة سر هذا القلم؟
لم هو لغز كبير لا افهم؟
سهل سهل سره !!
انه …..الثورة …ثورة عصبية
ثورة اخلاقية…انسانية
انه تجديد مطلق ..انه طلقة من اجل الحرية

 

لكن ….حين تنتهي هذه الاعصاب ..كيف ساكتب؟
انا احرق عصبي لاطفئ المي
احرق اعصابي …لاقول …انني انسانة حرة
احرق ما تبقى …من اجل البقاء

 

لكن …حين تستنفذ الطاقة نفسها …ما يبقى!؟
حين تحترق زوايا الفكر …وتمارس الجنس كل الافكار
ما يبقى ؟
تبقى الطفلة ها هنا ….لتعيد الرسم بالكلمات !!
لتعيد حرق ما يوجد من حبر فوق جثة الحياة

 

حين تزول الاعصاب …..
حين تحترق شرايين الاعصاب
كل الشرايين …انا اكتب
اذا ….فلتشتعل …اشتعلي ….
ولننعش الكون …..باجمل الكلمات

Box-Office Monday: Carrey Hears a Hit

Box-Office Monday: Carrey Hears a Hit

 

There he was, Jim Carrey, a $25 million a movie star, sitting in the audience at last week’s American Idol results show, in an elephant costume. It was a pandering plug for Carrey’s new animated film Horton Hears a Who in which the comic voices the elephant title character created by Dr. Seuss. The movie debuted big at $45 million, making it No. 1 for the week, the best opening so far this year for any movie (driving Cloverfield to second place), and the fifth biggest opening ever for animated film, behind Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, Cars and Ratatouille. No bitching from me. Horton is better than decent family entertainment. What made me sad was seeing Carrey reduced to selling himself out for a Fox movie on a Fox TV show. Carrey’s had a tough time of it of late with such flops as The Majestic, Fun With Dick and Jane and—yikes!—The Number 23. But does he deserve this—being forced (I hope) to shill for a kids flick on a massively popular TV show? If I’m being honest, to quote Simon Cowell, it was a pathetic sight. Carrey is a gifted actor who deserved Oscar nominations that never came for The Truman Show, Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. You could probably think of other examples of primo Carrey. Let’s do it, just to wipe way away the bad taste of the Idol debacle.

The Troubled Homecoming Of The Marlboro Marine

 

Blake Miller can’t stand cats. He didn’t always hate them, but that was before Iraq; before he fought in the battle of Fallujah; before the first enemy soldier Miller killed lay rotting in the street for three days, his remains picked over by a hungry cat that had crawled inside the dead Iraqi’s hollowed-out chest. Miller’s life divides like that, into then and now. Before November 9th, 2004.

Before the photograph. On that day, as Miller paused for a smoke during a lull in the fighting, a photographer from The Los Angeles Times captured the battle-weary Marine with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Miller’s face was smeared with soot and sand and blood and war paint, none of which could camouflage his bewilderment and exhaustion. The image was soon plastered all over the news, appearing in more than 150 publications worldwide and earning him the moniker “Marlboro Man.” Overnight, the photo made Miller an unwitting icon, a symbol of the indomitable spirit of U.S. troops, the heroism and virility of the American fighter. The New York Post ran the shot — later nominated for a Pulitzer Prize — under a simple headline: SMOKIN’.

That was then. These days, Lance Cpl. James Blake Miller spends much of his time sitting on the floor of the run-down trailer he keeps as a residence behind his father’s house in the tiny coal-mining town of Jonancy, Kentucky (population 297). This is his favorite spot in the trailer, where he reclines against an easy chair whose upholstery has turned a dingy nicotine brown. From here, Miller can anticipate any possible threat, keep an eye on all avenues of approach an enemy might take. As cigarette butts overflow in the ashtray and empty beer bottles collect around him, he silently cycles through procedures the Marine Corps drilled into his head: defend, reinforce, attack, withdraw, delay. He knows it’s only seven steps to the front door, but he worries whether his truck has enough gas to make an escape. He wishes someone had told him that “there may come a time when all that shit you learned, you might not be able to turn it off.”

The smell of fear proves to be reality

  The smell of fear proves to be reality

 

Know how a whiff of certain odors can take you back in time, either to a great memory or bad one?

    It turns out emotion plays an even bigger role with the nose, and that your sense of smell actually can sharpen when something bad happens.

    Northwestern University researchers proved the surprising connection by giving volunteers electric shocks while they sniffed novel odors.

    The discovery, reported in yesterday’s edition of the journal Science, helps explain how our senses can steer us clear of danger. More intriguingly, it could shed light on disorders such as post-traumatic stress syndrome.

    ”This is an incredibly unique study,” said Dr. David Zald, a Vanderbilt University neuroscientist who studies how the brain handles sensory and emotional learning. “We’re talking about a change in our perceptual abilities based on emotional learning.”

    Scientists long have known of a strong link between the sense of smell and emotion. A certain perfume or scent of baking pie, for instance, can raise memories of a long-dead loved one. Conversely, a whiff of diesel fuel might trigger a flashback for a soldier suffering PTSD.

    Could an emotionally charged situation make that initial cue be perceived more strongly in the first place?

    The research team recruited 12 healthy young adults to find out.

    Volunteers repeatedly smelled sets of laboratory chemicals with odors distinctly different from ones in everyday life. An “oily grassy” smell is the best description that lead researcher Wen Li, a Northwestern postdoctoral fellow in neuroscience, could give.

    Two of the bottles in a set contained the same substance and the third had a mirror image of it, meaning its odor normally would be indistinguishable.

    Then Li gave the volunteers mild electric shocks while they smelled just the odd chemical. In later smell tests, they could correctly pick out the odd odor 70 percent of the time.

    MRI scans showed the improvement was more than coincidence.

    There were changes in how the brain’s main olfactory region stored the odor information.

    In other words, the brain seems to have a mechanism to sniff out threats.

ONE MISSED CALL

*Runtime: 87 mins

*Theatrical Release: Jan 4, 2008 Wide

*Box Office: $26,812,746

 

Synopsis:

In the tradition of THE RING, THE GRUDGE, DARK WATER, and PULSE, ONE MISSED CALL is yet another moody Japanese ghost story to be adapted for American screens. Originally made by cult director Takashi Miike in 2003 from Yasushi Akimoto’s novel CHAKUSHIN ARI, this American version retains the elements that are sure to please J-Horror fans–jerky apparitions, ghostly children, desperate messages from beyond the grave, possessed electronic devices, and strong female characters. While this remake, which is the debut English-language film from French director Eric Valette, dispenses with some of the freakiness of Miike’s version, the creepiness remains. Shannon Sossamon is Beth, a developmental psychology student who has plenty of cause for concern after her friend Leann (Azura Skye) receives a panicked cell phone message from herself days in the future. After Leann falls in front of a train at the same date and time on the message, Beth suspects that she may be next. Beth’s fear seems even more justified after her friend Taylor (Ana Claudia Talancon) befalls a similar fate as her phone message is being investigated by a reality TV host (Ray Wise) who specializes in unexplained phenomena. With the help of police chief Jack Andrews (Ed Byrnes), Beth discovers a link between the calls and a deceased mother and daughter. A slow burning ghost tale, ONE MISSED CALL establishes a mood of creepiness before the opening credits and sustains it right through to the conclusion. Instead of major shocks or gore, we’re given subtle glimpses of ghostly figures or slightly distorted faces that are effective in creating unease. Sossamon makes a pleasing heroine, and the always excellent Wise makes the most of his small role. Almost old-fashioned in its restraint, the film is a good candidate for family viewing–and spooky enough to give all but the most jaded horror fan goose bumps

Diversity

Diversity

            Diversity is variety: a point of difference. Yet, so many people prefer to blend in. Why is that? Many people fear change or being different.  I must admit at first I was afraid of coming out of my “shell.”  Fortunately, I out grew my “shell” and today whether people think I’m crazy or unique, I insist on my diversity.  What makes me stand out, I truly believe, is my Lebanese – American nationality.  I have been brought up with Lebanese traditions and learned to embrace the American culture.  Living in two diverse cultures has helped quench the thirst for knowledge I have for learning about different cultures. 

            In the Lebanese culture, there are over eighteen religions and three official languages that Lebanese all learn to understand and accept.  We, the Lebanese, are the modern day Diaspora! We are a population of twenty million or so, with four million living in Lebanon and the sixteen other million living scattered across all over the world. Each one of us has taken in our own culture and meshed it with the country we live in.  When we all return to Lebanon for visits, we end up teaching other Lebanese about the new cultures we have adapted to.

            Born and raised in America, I have learned the value of freedom and how so many people around the world lack this right we have.  We live in a country that has no limits set for us to express our originality.  Americans live in a melting pot allowing us to merge from all different countries and nationalities in the world.  Teaching friends here about my Lebanese culture and having the opportunity to learn about other cultures are things I enjoy.  Being an American has allowed me to be able to compare the diversity in cultures and see what each culture values. 

            Teaching others about my Lebanese culture is something I love to do.  I feel I have the ability to teach them about things they have never heard of like, foods, traditions, and even a whole new language.  I believe I will bring diversity to a college, not just with my Lebanese culture, but with my curiosity of wanting to learn about different cultures and lifestyles around the world.  Diversity is not just the difference in each person, but the willingness to accept this difference and know how to value uniqueness

لو وهبني الله

 

 

لو وهبني الله ” قطعة أخرى ” من الحياة لما كنت سأقول – في هذه الفتره الإضافية – كل ما أفكر فيه .. وإنما كنت سأفكر في كل ما أقوله قبل أن أنطق به.
ولكنت سأنام قليلا و أحلم أكثر ، مدركا أننا نخسر مقابل كل دقيقة تغمض فيها عيوننا ستين ثانية من الضوء ..
ولكنت أستمتع بكأس الجيلاتي و أرتدي لباسا طويلا ، و ألقي بنفسي إلى الشمس ، و أعري روحي كلها تحت أشعتها .
ولكنت قد كتبت أحقادي كلها على قطع من الثلج ، و أنتظرت طلوع الشمس كي تذيبها .
ولرسمت فوق النجوم ، وأهديت القمر سرينادا غنائية وغسلت الزهور بدموعي .
ولما تركت يوما واحدا يمضي دون أن أبلغ الناس فيه أنني أحب ” فكرة ” أن أحبهم ، ولأقنعت كل رجل أنه المفضل عندي ، وكل امرأة بأنها الصديقة الأولى .
ولكنت أكدت للرجال أنهم يخطئون حين يظنون أنهم يكفون عن الحب حين يطعنون في العمر ، لأنهم لا يشيخون حقا إلا حين يكفون عن الحب .
ولكنت أعطيت الطفل أجنحة وعلمته كيف يطير بها ، وأكدت للمسنين أن الموت لا يأتي مع التقدم في العمر وإنما مع النسيان .
لقد تعلمت أن الطفل الوليد حين يقبض بكفه الصغيره على أصبع أبيه ويشده لأول مره فإنه يكون قد ربطه به برباط أبدي .
.. لقد تعلمت من الناس أشياء كثيره .. غير أني حين أكتبها على قصاصات و أضعها في محفظتي لكي أعمل بها … سيكون الاوان قد فات ، وسأكون قد غادرت الحياة بطريقه غير ساره

ضحك السياسي : واحد تنين “خرطش قوص”

ضحك السياسي : واحد تنين “خرطش قوص”

آخر النفحات المولدة حديثا في لبنان… هي “خرطش قوص ” عند ظهور وجه من وجوه زعمائنا الكبار والعظام على محطة “دي ” ومحطة “ده” وفي اي برنامج كان من الصباح الى المساء و في اي نوع من البرامج من “ميني ستوديو” الى نشرة الاخبار” .

لا ندر كيف تبدا زخات الرصاص بالانهمار ولا ندر اساسا لم الرصاص ولم الكاتيوشا في الهواء الطلق “ما الزلمي على التلفزيون لحقت وبدك تقوصلوا ، قوص التلفزيون” هكذا ستوفر رصاص “وبتكون فشيت خلقك” وفي الوقت عينه وفرت ثمن اكاليل او جنية احد المارين .

ومن المهم ان نفهم مثلا لم هذا اللحن الرصاصي مثلا ؟ هل اذا عبر عن فرحته بابتسامة الشيخ حلو و بكرافات حكيم ابو تنكة و شلحة سيد ابو لدعة وفخامة ابو رجفة بالاستعانة بصاروخ رعد ستتحول المقابلة من نهج تيئيسي الى اخر تفاؤلي ؟ ولك مين خبرك يا استاذ خرطش قوص ان الشيخ فلان والسيد علنتان فرقانة معو خرطوشاتك؟

ربما هناك من يحذر من هذه الظاهرة قبل ان يطل في المقابلة وحتى قبل تعيين المقابلة فهكذا يوفر على المواطن دما قتلى ويكسب دعاية “انو ليك ليك انا شو خواجة ” فاولا سعري يتخطى مئة ليرة وثانيا بذاك التحذير اعلنت وجودي في المقابلة تلك وثالثا “طلعت جغل” صاحب اخلاق لا ارضى بالغلط !

للتخلص من هذه الظاهرة نطرح الحلول الاتية :

منع ظهور السياسين على التلفاز …. وفهمكن كفاية

“dikkenet LEILA”…..An Exquisite food experience

It is shocking how people are able to realize the dream Lebanese restaurants amidst all the food mess available around. I call it “The Legendary Leila”, a genuine food experience that reveals the beauty, the healthiness and the unique taste of the Lebanese cuisine. All this invites me to write this post in the Lebanese dialectic……

ليلى، هيدا مطعم من لبنان، بذكرنا بغنيّة فيروز، “بيتك يا ستّي الختيارة بذكّرني ببيت ستّي”، فعلن جوّ بيت ستّي، من الكراسي للشبابيك للكنبيات، لريحة الخبز الصّخن، ولحسن ضيافة صار نادر الوجود.

أوّل ما بتوصل بتلفتك مراطبين المونة المصفوفة عالشبابيك، والزهورالمرسومة عالحيطان بذكرونا بجمال طبيعة ضيعنا بلبنان.

الفكرة، كلا عبعضا، بتذكرنا بطفولة كتار منّا، وقتا كنّا نطلع عند ستّي نساعدها بالمونة ايام الصيفيّة، وتقلنا :”يا ستّي ما في أطيب من أكل البيت“.

دكّانة ليلى: مازة وأرغيلة، أكل طيّب ولقمة هنيّة، فيروز والرحابنة وجوليا و ماجدة الرومي، مطعم جمعنا بالتراث، رجّعنا سنبن لورا، وزرع فينا حنين لزكريات يمكن عجقة الحياة نسّتنا ياها……. صحتين

with the subject “yes let’s do it”, and we will email you full instructions about the activity soon.

In order for this event to work, we need to spread the message:
