Entry for September 23, 2008 " My Favorite TV Shows"

2008-09-23T08:09:00.000-07:00

Well I Guess I'm Addicted to few SitComs, and I really like it..

My No1 Sitcom is

1-The Simpsons

The Simpsons , it is really a great show 20 season until now and there is still more (I hope So), First time i saw the show , i really don't remember it , but When Dubai 'ONE TV " began to air it in 2004 -2005 , i began to watch it , the show began at dawn so i was forced myself to get up to watch it ,or force myself to keep awake to watch it, sometimes i fall asleep while i was watching it .

I got the First season of the Simpsons in my laptop, so i guess i'm kinda addicted to the show plus Bart look like me when i was in School , but this is another story.

2-Seinfeld

well one day i was watching the T.V ( i guess channel 33 or MBC2) and suddenly i became a fan of Seinfeld , the show is really hilarious. i was watching the Episode of the Chinese Restaurant , while i was putting the headphone on my ear when i began to laugh out loudly and i didn't realize that , until i listened to my echo .

3- FRIENDS

I can't think that there is no one could hate friends , i was watching it and waiting it when it was aired in Nile TV , then in MBC 2 , and until now i'm still watching it more and more and more

my best chracters are Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Chandler (Matthew Perry).

4- Full House

when i was watching the show , i though this is really the perfect family . i have season 1 and 2 , and i'm planning to get more seasons soon . the idea of a single father with 3 kids( one of them is just a baby) and also got the help in raising the kids from a goofy friend and a careless uncle make the show really a Super Show..

5- Malcolm in the middle

well a genuis kid in a stupid family seems really funny , when i watch how he deals with the his family . i was enjoying watching it.

6- According to Jim

to marry from a beautiful woman, having a big house, rasing beautiful kids is anyone dream , but to act like JIM , and yourwife still loves you that much , i guess this is any man dream .

7-Frasier

the most coolest thing in Frasier show was the dog Eddie, and of course how Dr. Frasier dealt with his patient & his brother Dr. Niles.

The 1973 October War: The Egyptian Perspective

CSC 1997

Subject Area - History

/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Title: The 1973 October War: The Egyptian Perspective

Author: Major J.C. Moulton, United States Air Force

Problem Statement: Following the conclusion of the 1967 Six Day War with Israel Egypt was forced to completely re-evaluate its strategic and operational objectives and capabilities. Egypt suffered the loss of over 80 percent of its military capability and was forced to concede control of both the Sinai peninsula and the Suez Canal. Israel also gained control of Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. Entering the fall of 1973 Egypt's strategic position appeared extremely tenuous. The Egyptian President, Anwar Sadat, had failed to achieve the strategic goals of the Arab coalition and his leadership within the Arab world was threatened. Further, the demands of the 1967 Khartoum Conference appeared to eliminate any alternative course of action. The Egyptian leadership faced the dilemma of how to break the deadlock in which it was entangled with Israel without alienating itself from the Arab mainstream. President Sadat, under intense pressure both internally and throughout the Middle East, had to construct a strategic plan in order to engage Israel and recoup the losses of 1967...and survive (politically and literally) long enough to witness the results.

Background. This paper will analyze the changes which the Egyptian leadership made prior to the 1973 October War which enabled it to emerge as the strategic victor. President Anwar Sadat undertook a course which would either place Egypt and Israel on the road to peace or end his career...and probably his life.

Conclusion: There are several important points to consider:

1. First, the value of constructive analysis. Egypt critically examined the reasons for the

1967 loss, while Israel failed to properly determine all of the reasons for its success. Egypt then corrected its mistakes and planned accordingly.

2. The 1973 War demonstrates the value of properly coordinating military capabilities and national objectives. Egypt tailored its desires in order to fall within the grasp of its own military capabilities. It abandoned its unrealistic "total" war outlook (privately) in exchange for a sensible, attainable "limited" approach.

3. The potential for "shaping" the assumptions and stereotypes of an enemy. Egypt completely fooled the Israelis-a major achievement.

In conclusion, the Egyptian approach to the 1973 October War represents an outstanding case study for any student of military history.

Egyptian Cuisine"June 5, 2007"

2007-06-05T23:24:00.000-07:00

From Wikipedia "Egyptian Cuisine"

Egyptian cuisine consists of local culinary traditions such as Ful Medames, Kushari and Molokhia, while sharing similarities with food found throughout the eastern Mediterranean like kebab and falafel.

Most Egyptians perhaps consider ful medames, or mashed fava beans, to be the national dish. Ful is also used in making Ta'miyya or Falafel (Arabic: طعمية – فلافل). Bread accompanies most Egyptian meals; local bread is called Eish Masri or Eish Baladi (Egyptian Arabic: عيش), a word which also means life.

Ancient Egyptians are known to have used a lot of garlic and onion in their everyday dishes. Fresh mashed garlic with other herbs is used in spicy tomato salad and is also stuffed in boiled or baked aubergines (eggplant). Garlic fried with coriander is added to Mulukhiyya (Arabic: ملوخية), a popular green soup made from finely chopped leaves. Fried onions are added to Kushari (Arabic: كشري), a dish consisting of brown lentils, macaroni, rice, chickpeas and a spicy tomato sauce.

Other popular dishes include Kebab and Kofta (Arabic: كباب وكفتة), usually of lamb meat, chops & minced meat on skewers grilled on charcoal. Egyptians are famous for stuffing spicy rice in vegetables like green pepper, aubergines, courgettes and tomatoes to make Mahshi (Arabic: محشي). Mahshi is generally rolled in grapevine leaves, Mahshi Warraq Enab (Arabic: محشي ورق عنب), or in cabbage leaves, Mahshi Koronb (Arabic: محشي كرنب).

Shawerma (Arabic: شاورمة) is a popular sandwich of shreded meat or chicken, usually rolled in pita bread with Tahina sauce.

Dukkah is a dry mixture of chopped nuts, seeds and Middle Eastern spices and flavors.

Although Ramadan is a month of fasting in Egypt, it is usually when Egyptians pay special attention to food in variety and richness, since the whole family would gather on the breakfast table just after sunset. There are several special desserts almost exclusive to Ramadan such as Konafa and Atayef (Arabic: كنافة وقطايف). In this month, many Egyptians will make a special table for the poor or passers-by, usually in a tent in the street, called Ma'edat Al Rahman (Arabic: مائدة الرحمن) which translates literally as Table of (God) the Gracious (Merciful).

Christians of Egypt, mainly Copts, observe fasting periods according to the Liturgical Calendar that practically extend to more than two-thirds of the year. The diet is mainly vegan. During this fasting, Copts will usually eat vegetables fried in oil as they avoid meat, chicken, dairy products including butter. Under certain conditions, it may be acceptable to eat seafood

Visiting Mecca "Sunday October 15, 2006 "

2006-10-15T22:45:00.000-07:00

I understand the meaning of what Malcom X said when he visited Mecca "i have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass and slept on the same rug -- while praying to the same God -- with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. And in the words and in the actions and in the deeds of the white Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan and Ghana."

And Also "There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white"

Well i was surprised, when i saw Kabaa , this building that Ibrahim(Ibraham) and his son built it in the middle of no where.. and now it is one of the most crowded places in the world (3 million visited it when i were there in that day)..I saw people from over the world (for far east,europ,africa,america) wow ..

it is really cool. i visited it for a one day but i was in shock until i left Mecca. People asked me "what do u think?", i don't have an answer because i don't know.i was in shock,i was fasting, and it was hot ,after i took a nap in the afternoon, i went to pray in Haram( the mosque and kabba called Haram) el asr . i sat next to Turkish Old man . i was the only one in the group that talks Egyptian Arabic, people were speaking various languages and really looks weired, the Turkish old man don't know any words of Arabic language ,although he reads the quran in Arabic . i feel safe .i don't know why?, i ate with them and drink with them( zamzam) ,and i saw the glory in Turkish old man face when he drank from zamzam .. we all help each other ..that was really cool..i wish if we were like that in real life . no borders no obstruct between people. and between countries.. it really was a good experience and i wish to repeat it soon...
