Mubarak lies as he breathes

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 07:52:17 +0200

I knew the minute I saw the headline where Mubarak said there is no new "slaughtry of judges" that something very bad will happen.

The Egyptian Police attacked late at night the citizens who were having a sit-down in solidarity with the Egyptian judges. When some of them fled to the Egyptian Judges professional society and an Egyptian Judge stoped the police, the police harshly beat and arrested him and his brother (a prosecutor) and the other protestors.

Mubarak lies as he breathes.

اضاف الرئيس انه لا يتدخل ابدا بين رجال القضاء مؤكدا انه يحرص كل الحرص علي استقلال القضاء ومكانة رجاله.
.....
اما الحديث عن 'مذبحة للقضاة' فلا محل له علي الاطلاق لما يعلمه الجميع عن التقدير الذي احمله لرجال القضاء واعتزازي الدائم بقضاء مصر

Happiness

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 05:20:19 +0200

"Happiness" - Naguib Mahfouz
(from Echoes of an Autobiography)

I returned to the old street after a long absence to attend a funeral.
No trace worth mentioning remained of its golden form.
On its two sides, towering buildings had replaced the villas, and it was crammed full of cars, dust, and turbulent waves of human beings.
With a feeling of great pride, I remembered its radiant appearance and the aroma of jasmine.
I remembered the beautiful girl who appeared at the window, casting her radiance on the passersby.
Who knows where lies her happy tomb in the city of the departed?

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it shou

You Are a Red Flower

A red flower tends to represent power, seduction, and desire.
At times, you are loving like a red tulip.
And at other times, you're very enthusiastic, like a bouvardia.
And more than you wish, your passion is a bit overwhelming, like a red rose.

God Saves Egypt from its people- Miss and Mr Egypt

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 01:06:16 +0200

God Saves Egypt from its people as they are the reason of all its troubles , really I look to the current issues in Egypt and see how its people respond to and then I want to cry

People most of our political ,social and economic problems go back to the passive attitudes of Egyptians for more than 100 years

anyway last week Mr.Youssef Sabahi , the organiser of Miss Egypt contest , made another controversial beauty contest that Mr Egypt, the last time this contest was organised was in the year 1997 and guess who won it Mr Haney Salama "Not the actor " , who is now working as a documentaries producer and photographer ,and his documentary Control Room talking about Al-jazeera TV channel Coverage to war of Iraq won prizes "great change that surprised me , i remember when i had seen his pictures in the contest than saw him talking in Al-jazeera !!"
