Once again, AskMen.com makes one of the most righteous and prestigious lists of the year and that is the 99 Most Desirable Women List. Drawing from the worlds of movies, television, fashion, sports and more, the feature celebrates the women we love and what we love about them. Most shockingly however, is that the [...]

When will this stop? A regular combo used to cost KD1.750 a few years ago at Gulf Royal Chinese in the Marina Mall food court and then they increased the price to KD1.950. Now they’ve increased it again and the new price for a regular combo with coke is KD2.250.

At this day and age, the gaming industry has seen numerous titles that are full of blood, violence, and anything that scares the hell out of your grandmother. Unfortunately however, many of those titles lack the smart execution and style that make them memorable than an R-rated movie wannabe. Enter Suda 51 and his [...]

40 Days and 40 Nights was just that movie that I felt like watching. I have always liked Josh Hartnett, and I enjoyed how he was in this movie. There was something that I liked in this movie since it was filmed in San Francisco during my time there. I loved Shannyn Sossamon, she [...]

نهاية الاسبوع … كيف سيمضي اليوم ؟

  When you go through a few weeks of hectic work that deprives of you of anytime to take care of yourself, you just reach a point when you can’t handle it anymore and need a change otherwise insanity is where you’re going.  Each person has his/her own way out to get that “fresh” feeling.  To [...]

I was asked by some students at KU to participate in a class project that they were working on, and i agreed. The short movie is called Carpe Diem and they just uploaded it to YouTube. I honestly have not seen it yet, i hate seeing myself speak, so .. it’s all yours!  [link] [...]

I did a video interview with Brad Baldwin of Rocky Mountain Voices while in Utah.

This can only be described as “Dude Wheres My Car?” moment, it was late, I was hungry, K was close by. For 20 minutes I couldn’t figure out where I wanted to get food from, but I had an issue that I didn’t want to go anywhere either. I called Munch based on K’s recommendation [...]

England 2 Switzerland 1

Jenas 39, Derdiyok 58, Shaun Wright-Phillips 62

_______________________________________

Fabio's England team is a work-in-progress.
First 35 minutes, they were ridiculously nervous.
Last 15, ditto. Very disjointed.

David Bentley did enough to keep  his place after a shaky start in a nervy team.

Upson said they've done a helluva lot of positional work.

He will get used to that. Might even learn to enjoy it.

If England can acquire tactical solidity, they can win games. If they can win games, they can acquire belief. They have desire now but no belief. They need much more belief.

4-5-1 didn't work in the first half.

But then Joe Cole destroyed the fullback and gave Jenas a tap-in from five yards.

After that we improved. Second half, more relaxed, knocked it around  more fluidly, Rooney was our best player, Ashley Cole was a hollow man, Gerrard looked more like himself, Crouch came on and gave us a better shape.

Obviously, we need an Anelka to play with Rooney. Or a Torres, a Berbatov. But we don't have one. Could Agbonlahor develop into a centre forward in time for 2010?

On Sky, Glenn Hoddle said that when he was at Monaco in 1989, Capello once came into the dressing room to talk to Arsene Wenger, and he spoke decent English then.

Ray Wilkins said languages get harder to learn as you get older.

Hoddle said he didn't like seeing Rooney playing left side in the last 20. Neither did I. I hate seeing him on the left for Man United.

End of March, we play France in Paris.

This Switzerland game has told Capello a lot. To him it's worth 20 training sessions. He's learned  a helluva lot tonight.

He's learned that some England fans start to boo after 37 minutes if their team is playing crap.

Jenas scored after 39 and turned the crowd round.

When Erin Derdiyok scored the best goal of the game in 58, England replied with a good Route 1 goal : James goal-kick, Crouch headed on, Rooney flicked  on to Stevie G on the left, he squared across the  six yard box for SWP to tap in the winner.

After that goal in 62 we did some good things, then got nervous again and David James came out 15 yards to flap at a corner when he should have stayed on his line.

Does Derdiyok want to play for Arsenal ?

He has scored seven goals in five Under 21 games. With shooting like this, I'm not surprised. Here he came on as a sub and drifted off Rio Ferdinand and smashed a superb first time shot to make it 1-1.

Can Senderos ask him if he'd like to play for Arsenal?
He's 19 and would enjoy London.

ENGLAND (4-1-4-1): James (Portsmouth); Brown (Manchester United), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Upson (West Ham United), Ashely Cole (Chelsea); Barry (Aston Villa); Bentley (Blackburn Rovers), Gerrard (Liverpool), Jenas (Tottenham Hotspur), Joe Cole (Chelsea); Rooney (Manchester United).

SWITZERLAND (4-2-3-1): Benaglio (Wolfsburg); Lichtsteiner (Lille), Senderos (Arsenal), Eggimann (Karlsruhe), Spycher (Eintracht Frankfurt); Fernandes (Manchester City), Inler (Udinese); Barnetta (Bayer Leverkusen), Gygax (Metz), H Yakin (Young Boys); Nkufo (Twente Enschede). Subs used: Behrami (Lazio) for Lichtsteiner, h-t; Derdiyok (Basle) for Nkufo, h-t; Vonlanthen (Red Bull Salzburg) for Gygax, h-t; Grichting (Auxerre) for Senderos, 55; Margairaz (Osasuna) for Yakin, 65; Huggel (Basle) for Fernandes, 83.

 

The Tranny, the Drunk...and the Italian Kiss

I need a vacation, now more than any time before.

I'm so stressed out and depressed. My exams were more than difficult, so far just 1 exam was good! I'm not seeking or even dreaming of distinction or merit. I just wanna pass! Mo pass ba3ad bas abi achoof 7rf el P!

One exam left, the bitchiest Accounting on Friday. Yes on Friday!! wala chena Friday is an official weekend! I'm so loathing my uni.

Amazon just dropped the price of the Xbox 360 HD DVD player to just $79! Thats really really cheap!! [Amazon Link]

The patient education course I attended on Monday was OK. It suffered a lack of organization and they were lucky the number of participants was small. It could have been chaotic, and it didn’t help that the presentations were lame. Not much to say about the sessions, and I’m pretty sure you are not even [...]

The reaction of the American guys taping the fight is hilarious. [YouTube]

I’m a fan of Under Armour products and they are now coming out with trainers. If their under clothing is any indication of the quality work that they produce then I am very much interested in getting these trainers. I don’t usually buy trainers but I’m interested in these trainers and they seem to have [...]

Multiple personality disoders: as outlined in hollywood;)

soooooooo yea, I wanna try out another 'creative' outlet. Rather then writing as well me, I will be writing as alter personalities of me! I knoooooow brilliant eh? :P nOt, I know a couple of bloggers have been doing it, I wonder if this will let me let go of any preconceptions or biasness I may have. I dont think I will be going too far off tangent on this, i.e. I will not try to project a newly immgrated chinese person, simply because I know nothing of the culture and nothing about the language. Besides me is to boring and anal and strightlaced to be intersting..So yea thats the plan..Wannaaasa. I think Im gonna start with Dear Diary type of entires! Ok I gotta I have a midterm in an hour:P

Chirp's post about books reminded me that I should stop watching DVDs and start reading the books I recently received. When I order stuff from Amazon I really go overboard. I got a bunch of books and DVDs to tide me over the WGA strike (which will hopefully be ending sometime soon!). Here are some of the books & DVDs I got but certainly not all.

Books

• Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

I didn't expect to like this book. I only bought it cuz I kept seeing it on the best-sellers list and I was bored enough to give it a shot. I actually enjoyed it very much. It's a fantastic read. I don't want to spoil it by saying too much but basically it's about a guy's experience working in a circus.

I still have these two books to read:

• The Thirteen Tale by Diane Setterfield


• Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism by Muhammad Yunus and Karl Weber

DVDs

Lately I've been watching British shows and for some reason I ordered a bunch of BBC/British DVDs.

• North & South

Based on the novel, this BBC production was filmed well and has some amazing actors. I'm in love with Richard Armitage!

A couple of the other DVDs I ordered are:

• Bleak House


• Our Mutual Friend

I also FINALLY bought an anime that was my childhood favorite - Saint Seiya! I used to watch this anime in French when I was a kid but forgot its name. I kept searching for it, especially when the anime & manga craze hit the US but I didn't find it until I randomly saw it on a website over a year ago. Apparantly they retooled it and renamed it Knights of the Zodiac when they aired it on tv. I avoided buying it because I was scared that it really wouldn't be as great as my memory made it out to be but finally couldn't resist. I've only seen one episode so far so I won't judge it yet...None of my Kuwaiti friends seem to know this anime (it's all about Grendizer for them)...Bueller? Anyone?

قبل الدخول في غمار هذا الموضوع المعقد أحتاج الى مقدمة بسيطة

ليس الهدف من كتابة هذا الموضوع حل الخلاف بين السنة و الشيعة , فالخلاف ليس له حل و لن يحل لا في الكويت أو في غيرها من الدول , الهدف الرئيسي من كتابة هذا الموضوع هو معرفة العناصر الحقيقية و الحجم الحقيقي لهذا الخلاف و كيفية التعامل معه , خصوصا و أننا نعيش في مجتمع متخالط – مذهبيا – و في زمن يستحيل فيه التقوقع داخل كهف الخلافات القديمة

هذا الموضوع لن يصلح لمن يبحث عن منو صح و منو غلط , أو من يريد أن يوضح للآخرين من هو الصح و من الغلط , أنا هنا لا أريد هداية أحد , فمن يكتب هذا الموضوع شخص ارتقى بنفسه فوق هذه الخلافات ليعيش في زمنه و ليس زمن من سبقه , من يكتب هذا الموضوع هو ابن للانسان , و يتصرف مع الآخرين أيضا كونهم أبناء للانسان , لهم أخطاؤهم و اصاباتهم , لهم غريزة تغريهم و مباديء تحكم تصرفاتهم , انسان خليط من الخير و الشر, الحكمة و التهور , لذلك فليسمح لي من يعتقد أنه كاشف الغطاء و هو الصح و غيره الخطأ بأن لا أنشر تعليقاته , ليس حجرا على الآراء , و لكن حفظا للنظام و تسيير الأمور بالطريق الذي سيصل بنا الى بر الأمان

رغم أن الخلافات بين الشيعة و السنة كثيرة على مر السنين الا أنها تتمركز حول أربع مناسبات تاريخية لا نستطيع تجاهلها , سأحاول هنا ذكر الحادثة التاريخية و اتباعها بالكيفية التي ينظر بها كلا المذهبين نحو هذه الحادثة التاريخية و تبعاتها , سيلاحظ القاريء - الباحث - اختصاري للأحداث و تبسيطي المتعمد لها مما قد يجعله يعتقد أني أحاول اخفاء بعض التفاصيل , لكن الحقيقة هي أني أود قدر الامكان ذكر الأحداث المتفق عليها بين الفريقين و عدم تفضيل نسخة أي فريق على الآخر , الحدث الأول

غدير خم
بعد الانتهاء من أداء حجة الوداع , وقف الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم في مكان يدعى غدير خم , و هناك صلى عليه السلام بالمسلمين ثم وقف فأمسك بيد الامام علي بن أبي طالب و قال

ألست أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم ؟ قالوا بلى

فقال

ألست أولى بكل مؤمن من نفسه؟ قالوا بلى

فقال

فهذا ولي من أنا مولاه , اللهم وال من والاه و عاد من عاداه

النظرة الشيعية
يعتقد الشيعة بأن الرسول – ص – قد مهّد لخلافة الامام علي عليه السلام في الكثير من المناسبات و أهمها حديث يوم الغدير , فالشيعة يعتبرون هذا الحديث علامة واضحة من الرسول للمسلمين بأن علي بن أبي طالب هو الخليفة من بعده و قد ذكرت الروايات الشيعية أن الصحابة بايعوا الامام علي بعد القاء الرسول هذه الخطبة , و من هنا يحتفل الشيعة بهذا اليوم و يعتبرونه عيد الاعلان الرسمي لخلافة علي بن أبي طالب

النظرة السنية
لا ينكر السنة هذا الحديث , الا أنهم لا يرون فيه علامة حسم مسألة الخلافة و يعتقدون أن الرسول أراد به فقط اظهار حبه للامام علي و تحبيب المسلمين به

سقيفة بني ساعدة
عند اشتداد مرض الموت على رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قرر كبار الصحابة من الأنصار الاجتماع في سقيفة بني ساعدة لاختيار الخليفة , و يذكر أن كبار الصحابة المهاجرين كأبو بكر الصديق و عمر بن الخطاب سمعوا بهذا الخبر فلحقوا بهم . و في السقيفة بدأ النقاش حول من هو أولى الناس بخلافة رسول الله , هل هم المهاجرين السابقين في الاسلام و الذين تحملوا الظلم و القهر و التهجير في سبيله؟ أم أنهم الأنصار الذين فتحوا بيوتهم و قلوبهم للمهاجرين و أعزوا الاسلام و رسوله حتى أصبح قوة لا يستهان بها ؟

و قد كان الترجيح لكفة المهاجرين فتمت بيعة أبو بكر الصديق في السقيفة و من ثم تتابعت المبايعات في الأيام اللاحقة

النظرة الشيعية
ينظر الشيعة الى ما حدث في السقيفة بارتياب شديد و يعتقدون أنها مؤامرة لاقصاء علي بن أبي طالب من الخلافة و توجيهها الى أبو بكر الصديق , خصوصا و أن بعض كبار الصحابة لم يبادروا لمبايعة الخليفة الجديد و ظهرت بعض الأصوات المنادية بمبايعة الامام علي

و يعتبر الشيعة هذه المرحلة كأساس لبداية الخلاف بين أهل بيت الرسول بقيادة الامام علي بن ابي طالب و بين الصحابة بقيادة أبو بكر و عمر , و تحتفظ كتب الشيعة بالكثير من تفاصيل هذه الخلافات التي وصلت حدتها الى ارغام علي على المبايعة و سلب حق فاطمة الزهراء بارثها من النبي عليه السلام

و أهم أدلة الشيعة على وجود هذا الخلاف و قوته هو أسباب موت فاطمة الزهراء و هي في سن الشباب , أيضا عدم معرفة مكان دفنها يعتبر علامة من علامات هذا الخلاف

النظرة السنية
لا تنكر كتب السنة حدوث بعض التجاذبات حول مسألة الخلافة الا أنهم لا يعتقدون بوجود مواجهات جدية بين أهل البيت و الصحابة , فهم يستشهدون على طيب العلاقة بين الطرفين بوجود الامام علي بن أبي طالب كعنصر أساسي بجانب الخلفاء الراشدين أثناء حكمهم , أيضا يستند السنة الى استمرار علاقات النسب المتبادلة بين أهل البيت و الصحابة كعلامة للعلاقة الطيبة و الوطيدة التي جمعت الطرفين بعد وفاة الرسول

أيضا يعتقد السنة بأن أحداث السقيفة ترسخ مفهوم الشورى في الآية الكريمة – و أمرهم شورى بينهم

صفين و الجمل
بعد مقتل الخليفة عثمان بن عفان تمت مبايعة الامام علي بن أبي طالب على الخلافة , الا أن عدم اقتصاص الامام علي من قتلة عثمان مباشرة – لعدة أسباب – كان عذرا أمام معاوية بن أبي سفيان لعدم المبايعة و الانفصال بالشام عن دولة الخلافة الاسلامية الرئيسية , و قد أدى هذا الانفصال لقيام حرب صفين بين معاوية و الامام علي و انتهت بحادثة رفع القرءان المشهورة

أيضا و لنفس السبب قام مجموعة من الصحابة بقيادة طلحة بن عبيد الله و الزبير بن العوام و أم المؤمنين السيدة عائشة بحرب الامام علي في معركة الجمل , و قد انتصر جيش علي على الآخرين و قتل طلحة في هذه المعركة بينما بادر الامام علي باعادة أم المؤمنين عائشة الى المدينة معززة مكرمة

النظرة الشيعية
يعتبر الشيعة معركة صفين و الجمل نقطة مركزية في اثبات الخلاف بين بعض الصحابة و أهل البيت بقيادة الامام علي , و من هنا نجد أن النظرة الشيعية السلبية للصحابة تبلورت بشكل واضح بعد هاتين المعركتين

النظرة السنية
أعتقد أن معركة صفين و الجمل تعتبر نقطة اضطراب شديد للنسخة السنية من التاريخ الاسلامي , خصوصا و أن المذهب السني ينظر الى الصحابة بصورة ايجابية تزينها أحاديث التبشير بالجنة و بعض المواقف البطولية في بداية الاسلام , فعائشة هي أم المؤمنين و أحب أزواج النبي الى قلبه , و معاوية هو كاتب الوحي و الفاتح البطل السياسي الداهية , و الامام علي هو من كرم الله وجهه , و طلحة و الزبير لهم تاريخ بطولي لا ينكره أحد

و من هذه الحادثة بدأ تركيز السنة على مبدأ اجتهاد الحاكم المنقول عن حديث الرسول صلى الله عليه و سلم

عاشوراء
أعتقد أن الجميع يعرف حيثيات و أسباب حادثة الطف الشهيرة , كانت الشرارة الأولى بخلافة يزيد لوالده معاوية بن ابي سفيان في حكم الدولة الاسلامية , و هذا ما أدى الى رفض الامام الحسين بن علي للمبايعة , و من هنا حدثت الكارثة في كربلاء و قتل فيها الامام الحسين و من معه من أهل بيته و أصحابه اضافة الى أسر من معه من النساء

النظرة الشيعية
لا أحتاج أن اقول بأن لعاشوراء دور محوري في تشكيل الثقافة الاسلامية الشيعية و هم ينظرون لها كنتاج طبيعي لكل ما سبقها من أحداث اضطهاد و عداء لأهل البيت عليهم السلام , فالشيعة لا يفصلون بين السقيفة و صفين و الجمل و الطف , هم ينظرون لها كسلسلة مستمرة من الأحداث التي انتجت بعضها بعضا لابعاد أهل البيت عن الخلافة و القيادة , طبعا الأحداث المستقبلية تؤيد هذا التوجه خصوصا و أن الأئمة التسعة من أبناء الحسين تعرضوا الى مصير مشابه لما حدث لأبيهم

النقطة المحورية الأخرى هي أن أحداث التاريخ الواضحة أعطت للشيعة مجالا أوسع في لعن يزيد بن معاوية كونه المتهم الرئيسي في قتل الحسين , خصوصا و أنه سجله يفتقر للانجازات الاسلامية المشرفة كما كان الأمر مع والده و من سبقه من الصحابة

النظرة السنية
ينقسم السنة الى قسمين في التعامل مع عاشوراء , فهناك من يؤيد نظرة الشيعة ليزيد و يعتقدون بأنه مجرم و رئيس عصابة كما أسماه الشيخ محمد العوضي , و هناك من السنة من يبريء يزيد من هذه الجريمة كونه لم يأمر مباشرة بقتل الحسين و انما أمر بأخذ البيعة منه , و يعتمد السنة في هذه النظرة على بعض الروايات التي تذكر حزن يزيد على الحسين و معاقبته لمن تسبب في هذه الجريمة

الا أن التاريخ لا يرحم , و جرائم يزيد استمرت الى ما بعد الحسين

حاولت في هذه المقالة توضيح تطورات أهم الأحداث التاريخية التي اختلف الشيعة في تحليلها عن السنة , و سأركز في المقالة القادمة على كيفية انتقال هذا الخلاف في التفسير و التحليل الى اختلاف جذري في اسلوب المعالجة التاريخية الثقافية

This is a part of a conversation I had with a fellow classmate. I’m not going to bore you on how we started discussing about the following topic but this is the most interesting part, I think. Her: I love Middle-Eastern tales. Mustafa Baba & The Forty Thieves is my favorite. Me: Ahhh, you mean Ali [...]

On the morning of an England game we all want to know the same thing.

What's the team?

But the team has not been named.

The two stories today are Owen and Joe Cole.

It's believed that Owen will not start. And it's believed that Joe Cole could be just behind Wayne Rooney.

If those stories are true, I'm not too surprised. As soon as Capello was appointed I said, "Owen will be a sub now."

As soon as Sir Alex said :" Wayne should stay up the field, not go deep so much, chasing the ball, wasting so much energy," I thought : Fabio has had a word with Sir Alex.

We'll never know if Fabio did speak to him about Rooney playing as a centre forward. But why else would Sir Alex say that when he did ?

Incidentally, Rooney once said, "I think of myself as a centre forward."

But footballers say a lot of daft things.

The team's last practice match lined up with two Coles and two Ashleys, and without Micah Richards.

If this is the team that starts, it could be an interesting night.

In that training session it was 4-4-1-1: James ; Brown, Ferdinand, Upson, Ashley Cole ; Bentley, Gerrard, Hargreaves, Ashley Young ; Joe Cole, Rooney.

BALANCE is hard to achieve. Sven rarely had a balanced team because he is a groupie.groupie.

If it was me, and I wanted to try out Young and Bentley, I'd play Rooney behind Crouch.

We shall have to wait and see. That might be the team. As well as being strict, charismatic and Italian, Fabio Capello is also cunning.

SWITZERLAND probable : (4-2-3-1) :  Benaglio (Wolfsburg); Lichtsteiner (Lille), Eggiman (Karlsruher), Senderos (Arsenal), Spycher (Eintracht Frankfurt); Fernandes (Manchester City), Inler (Udinese); Barnetta (Bayer Leverkusen), Gygax (Metz), Yakin (Young Boys); Nkufo (Twente Enschede)

I just can’t get enough of this show, I’m all caught up with season 6 and I just watched episode one of season 7. Season 6 was one hell of roller coaster, they made things really interesting and they seem to be integrating a lot of the stories from DC Comics. What I like about [...]

Money over sanity?!

OR

Healthy state of mind over money?!

Why can’t one have both!? We all need to work I know but I wish I could have something that makes me happy / relaxed and at the same time get a decent amount at the end of the month!!

Most of the employees here, including others from outside this company wait for the 27th of each month (our pay day) impatiently for the salary *looks at the calendar* :/

UPDATE! To make things worse, Facebook is down :(

At first glance, Paradise Kiss isn’t a type of anime that normal anime boys would like to invest their time with. After all, the anime is classified under the Josei genre, a genre that targets women between the ages of 18 to 35. However, the anime and the manga have been receiving high remarks, [...]

  Just read on Arab Times that The Ministry of Interior will be issuing tourist visas for a one-month period starting Feb 15 to March 15, 2008 for the Hala February festival.

I know she hates me but do I really care? Not at all. After all I have many that love me in this world.

I have not seen her in a LONG time and last night, I did. The girls and I were out for a nice dinner. We were nicely dressed up and were giggling non-stop. She walks in and there he was standing next to her. She sees me and right then hold hands with him sending out a clear message that she owns him. Once again? Do I care? Not really; I just pity him. He is way too nice to be married to her. He looked better than usual. She looked worse than the last time I saw her. She gained at least 15 Kilos and wasn’t very nicely dressed.

My friend looked at him and was like OMG it’s “X”. He saw us and smiled. She frowned; I bet she thought how could he smile at them. He took a step toward us. She held his hand firmly and whispered something in his ear. He stepped back. It seems she didn’t even want him to say hi to us.

Obviously she is jealous and insecure. Why else would she do that? Either way, it felt good. That’s what people who are filled with hatred deserve.
