The Bone That Sharpen Your Teeth!

.
.


.
.
my cousin mentioned something today that i couldnt take of my mind, she said" going into labor and all the pain while giving birth is no problem to me, parenting and raising my children is".
.
.
Parenting? i wish if it was as easy as its shown in movies or "parenting" books, but its not.
.
.
being the person i am, the "old school" type, i dont think i can raise my children up to my standards, my friends and even some of my family members think i'm a "stiff" and "uptight" to my own generation, if i am considered to be all that according to my own generation, how the hell am i going to make it to the next one? changing some values? how can one change values? change principles? change whats wrong to normal just for the sake of "modernity" is not me.
.
.
"modern parenting" i dont think i can do that. actually coming to think about it, from now on its one of my greatest fears.

Make Me a Perfect Lie!!!

.
.
.

From Nip/Tuck

[at the start of a
consultation]

"Tell me what you don't like about
yourself?
"

Last time I went to ghabga, I haven’t recognized many of my old school friends, they all looked like super stars, every thing looked so perfect yet weird , there is something unnatural about it, so I asked my favorite friend which is also a limelighter, "haven’t you noticed something weird about their features?" , "duuuhhhh!!! Tajmeeeel" she quickly replied.

.


I've noticed lately that having a plastic surgery, be it a nose job, boob job, liposuction, Botox or whatever, is just a "normal" process to go under these days… no "gasps" as it used to be 10 years ago when we hear about some women getting their faces lifted and have absolutely no fears of going through the pain and under the knife, just to look perfect or "10" as the doctors call it.

Every age has its beauty, you want to remove the wrinkles? You think their hideous? Well tell you what? They're making you even more beautiful, each wrinkle is telling a story of your life, your victories, you achievements your good times and bad, and by removing them your erasing your history! Your erasing your identity… yourself

What's pissing me off is it seems that its contagious, since men aren't very happy with their looks either and they're going under the same process.


I am not against plastic surgery. I am against people who look perfectly fine getting their face cut up because they want to look like their favorite celebrity. It's only people who have, for example, have been in a car accident and had their face shattered, or people who were born naturally deformed. There are too many burn victims and children who truly need this kind of surgery, not for a 50 years old woman who wants to look like her 18 years old daughter.

Now imagine looking at yourself in the mirror and you see someone else (a stranger) till the rest of your life.
Needless to say that those plastic surgeries are making us all look alike!! They're erasing the ethnicities. No seriously think about it… if black can go white, and Chinese can go Caucasian and Latino goes Japanese… what a mess!!!! seriously people are looking like aliens

I also think that most of the cases (those who think they need some plastic procedure done) are psychological cases, they need to see a shrink first, take some make up courses, go on a diet, join a gym know what to wear, get the perfect hair cut . try all that if it didn’t work then maybe you should consider it.
But the question is, do you really want to be a "lie"?!

Questions around men!

.
.
.
Why do Men Cheat? I know that Cheating on one's spouse is more related to individual situations rather than gender-related ones. yet apparently it happens more with men? especially in Kuwait!!

i think that the question one should ask is whether infidelity is more inherent in the nature of men than of women?!

Let's assume that they resorted to infidelity to satisfy certain urges or fill this gaping void in their otherwise trivial and unsatisfied lives. can you imagine the percentage of those men with problems? could it possibly be? or is it just another lame excuse like an "outlet" or "a fix"?

.

my Question to the ladies, should we just get used to the fact that guys are eternal womanisers & live with it?

Table Mountain

.
. .
.
Table Mountain is a mountain in the Western Cape, South Africa, overlooking the greater Cape Town area. It forms part of the Table Mountain National Park and is flanked by Devil's Peak to the east and by Lion's Head and Signal Hill to the north.
Table Mountain is a famous landmark and tourist attraction in Cape Town, with many visitors using the cableway to take a ride to the top. The mountain is named for its flat top which is often covered by cloud, forming the "table cloth". It stands 1,086 m above sea level at its peak and the main face is approximately 3 km from side to side.

.
.
In the 1800's several dams, including the Woodhead, Hely-Hutchinson and De Villiers reservoirs, were built on top of the mountain to supply Cape Town's water needs. A cable car descending to Camps Bay via Kasteelspoort ravine was constructed to ferry materials and manpower (the cable lift was removed long ago but the anchor points at the old top station can still be seen). In the 1960's there was also a well-preserved steam locomotive housed in a small shed at the top of the mountain near the Hely-Hutchinson dam. It had been used to haul materials for the dam across the flat top of the mountain. Cape Town's water requirements have since far outpaced the capacity of the dams and they are no longer an important part of the water supply.
The mountain formed part of the Cape Peninsula National Park in the 20th century. The latter changed its name to the Table Mountain National Park in 1998.
In 2006, a devastating fire ran through the mountain, destroying large amounts of vegetation and resulting in the death of a tourist. A charge of arson and culpable homicide was laid against a British man who was suspected of starting the blaze.

Features

.


The mountain's highest point is at Maclear's Beacon, named for a stone cairn built there in 1865 by Sir Thomas Maclear for trigonometrical survey. It is 1,086 m (3,563 ft) above sea level and is the highest point of the plateau at the summit, about 19 m above the cable station.
Most major features of the mountain are named. The cliff immediately below the cable station is called Arrow Buttress and the area at the opposite end of the main cliff is called "Ledges". About a third of the way along from Arrow Buttress is a deep and partially hidden ravine called Platteklip Gorge (lit. "Flat Stone Gorge"), which provides an easy ascent to the summit and was the route taken by Antonio de Saldanha on the first recorded ascent of the mountain (see History). A famous and dangerous feature is Carrell's ledge, which winds its narrow way across the face of a vast and sheer drop to the south of Devil's Peak. At one point the ledge is less than 200 mm wide.
Table Mountain is in the unique position of being the only terrestrial feature to give its name to a constellation — Mensa, meaning The Table. The constellation is seen in the Southern Hemisphere, below Orion, around midnight in mid-July. It was named by the French astronomer Nicolas de Lacaille during his stay at the Cape in the mid eighteenth century.

Cableway (click here)

.

The Table Mountain Cableway takes passengers from the lower cable station on Tafelberg Road, about 302 m above sea level, to the plateau at the top of the mountain. The upper cable station offers views overlooking Cape Town, Table Bay and Robben Island to the north, and the Atlantic seaboard to the west and south.
Construction of the cableway was first started in 1926, and the cableway was officially opened in 1929. In 1997, the cableway was extensively upgraded, and new cars were introduced carrying 65 instead of 25 passengers. The new cars gave a faster journey to the summit, and could rotate through 360 degrees during the ascent or descent, giving a panoramic view over the city.
Apart from the views, there are also curio shops, a restaurant and walking trails for visitors at the top of the mountain.
.

.

Activities

Hiking
Hiking on Table Mountain is popular amongst locals and tourists, and a number of trails of varying difficulty are available. Because of the steep cliffs around the summit, direct ascent from the city side is difficult. Longer routes to the summit go via the Back Table, a lower area of Table Mountain south of the main plateau. There are paths to the Back Table from both the Atlantic and Southern Suburbs sides, and from there a number of paths make a gradual ascent to the summit.
Among the most popular routes are:
Hoerikwaggo Trail
Jeep Track a.k.a. the Bridle Path
Kasteelspoort
Nursery Ravine
Pipe Track
Platteklip Gorge
Skeleton Gorge
Rock climbing
Rock climbing on Table Mountain is a very popular pastime. There are well-documented climbing routes of varying degrees of difficulty up the many faces of the mountain. Only traditional climbing is allowed on Table Mountain; no bolting can be done. Commercial groups offer abseiling from the upper cable station.
Caving
Most of the world's important caves occur in limestone but Table Mountain is famous amongst speleologists for having several large cave systems that have formed in pure sandstone. The biggest systems are located on the Back Table, not far from the Jeep Track in ridges that overlook Orange Ravine and Hout Bay. These are often referred to as the Wynberg caves.

"أبناء الرشيد: الأمين والمأمون"

.
.
.
Watching T.V was never my thing and especially not in ramadan, but i must admit I am hooked to three T.V shows this year… "6ash ma 6ash", "alfiryah" and "abna' alrasheed: alameen wa alma'moon", the last is one of my favorites so far... watching it made me curious to read more about their story an compare the events in the books with those in the show ... in this post i'm going to write a brief "simplified" history of the Abbasid era.. i found a lot of contradictions between three books so i'm just going to write what i think was the real story.
.
.

.أولا الحمدالله أنني لست بموقع خلافة لأن لا يوجد هم أكبر من هم الخلافة و الخليفة ( عساني أعابل بعمري عشان أعابل بعيال الناس)
.
.
ثانيا: كما وضحت مسبقا أن التناقض بالقصص هو عدم اتفاق الكتاب على قصة بدء الخلاف مع البرامكة ..فمنهم من يقول أن عباسة أخت الهارون لم تتزوج بجعفر ابن يحيى و منهم يقول إنها تزوجت جعفر ثم قتلة هارون و من هنا بدأ الخلاف
.
.
ثالثا: ما لفت انتباهي هو الإتقان الجيد للغة و المصطلحات المستخدمة و بيوت الحكمة. خصوصا في الحوار بين أم جعفر و هارون الرشيد
.
.
.
.
هارون الرشيد

.
.
.
هارون بن محمد بن عبد الله بن محمد بن علي ابن عبد الله بن العباس و يلقب بهارون الرشيد (حوالي 763م - 24 مارس 809م) هو الخليفة العباسي الخامس ،وهو أشهر الخلفاء العباسيين. حكم بين 786 و 809 م


.
.
توليه الخلافة
.
.

.

.

تمت البيعة للرشيد بالخلافة في (14 من شهر ربيع الأول 170هـ= 14 من سبتمبر 786م)، بعد وفاة أخيه موسى الهادي،وكانت الدولة العباسية حين آلت خلافتها إليه مترامية الأطراف تمتد من وسط أسيا حتى المحيط الأطلنطي، معرضة لظهور الفتن والثورات، تحتاج إلى قيادة حكيمة وحازمة يفرض سلطانها الأمن والسلام، وتنهض سياستها بالبلاد،
.
.
.


أعمالة

.

.

بتولى الرشيد الحكم بدأ عصر زاهر كان واسطة العقد في تاريخ الدولة العباسية التي دامت أكثر من خمسة قرون، ارتقت فيه العلوم، وسمت الفنون والآداب، وعمَّ الرخاء ربوع الدولةالاسلامية.ويزداد إعجابك بالرشيد حين تعلم أنه أمسك بزمام هذه الدولة وهو في نحو الخامسة والعشرين من عمره، فأخذ بيدها إلى ما أبهر الناس من مجدها وقوتها وازدهار حضارتها. وأنشاء بمايعرف ببيت الحكمة وزودها بأعداد كبيرة من الكتب والمؤلفات من مختلف بقاع الأرض .وكانت تضم غرفًا عديدة تمتد بينها أروقة طويلة، وخُصصت بعضها للكتب، وبعضها للمحاضرات، وبعضها الآخر للناسخين والمترجمين والمجلدين.وغدت بغداد قبلة طلاب العلم من جميع البلاد، يرحلون إليها حيث كبار الفقهاء والمحدثين والقراء واللغويين، وكانت المساجد الجامعة تحتضن دروسهم وحلقاتهم العلمية التي كان كثير منها أشبه بالمدارس العليا، من حيث غزارة العلم، ودقة التخصص، وحرية الرأى والمناقشة، وثراء الجدل والحوار. كما جذبت المدينة الأطباء والمهندسين وسائر الصناع.وكان الرشيد نفسه يميل إلى أهل الأدب والفقه والعلم، حتى ذاع صيت الرشيد وطبق الآفاق ذكره، وأرسلت بلاد الهند والصين وأوروبا رسلها إلى بلاطه تخطب وده، وتطلب صداقته

.

.

الرشيد والبرامكة

.

.


ترجع اصول البرامكة إلى برمك المجوسي، وقد كان للبرامكة منزلة عاليه واستحوذوا على الكثير من المناصب في
الدولة العباسية وكان لهم حضور كبير في بلاط الخليفة العباسي هارون الرشيد، الذي ارضعته زوجة يحيى بن خالد البرمكي الذي حفظ لهارون الرشيد ولاية العهد بعد ان اراد الخليفة الهادي بخلع هارون الرشيد..
أحاط الرشيد نفسه بكبار القادة والرجال من ذوي القدرة والكفاءة وخاصةً من
البرامكة أمثال يحيى بن خالد البرمكي حتى حدث نزاع بين الخليفة الرشيد والبرامكة ونتج عن ذلك أن الرشيد حبس البرامكة وعلى رأسهم كبيرهم وأميرهم يحي بن خالد البرمكي.
نكبة البرامكة مصطلح يشير إلى ما وقع
للبرامكة على يد الخليفة العباسي هارون الرشيد من قتل وتشريد، ومصادرة أموال، وقد كانوا وزراء الدولة وأصحاب الأمر والسلطان.و النكبة من أهم الأحداث السياسية المؤثرة في حكم هارون الرشيد، وفي التاريخ السياسي الإسلامي بشكل عام، إذ أنها كانت حلقة في سلسلة نكبات طالت وزراء الدولة العباسية منذ قتل أبي مسلم الخراساني بتدبير الخليفة أبو جعفر المنصور، وقتل معظم المقربين من الخلفاء العباسيين، كآل سهل فيما بعد.أيضاً، كان للنكبة أثر كبير، من حيث توصيفها للعلاقة بين العرب والفرس في السلطان..
.
أبناء الرشيد هم
محمد الامين بن هارون الرشيد أمة زبيدة بنت جعفر بن المنصور , فهو هاشمي أبا و أما و لم يتفق ذلك لغيرة من الخلفاء الا لعلي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه و لابنه الحسين

You can watch it on MBC1 every day at 15:00 and the repeat is at 03:00 am , here is their preview:

.

أبناء الرشيد: استعراض تاريخي لأشهر صراع عرقي في الدولة العباسيةيستعرض مسلسل "أبناء الرشيد: الأمين والمأمون" الذي تعرضه قناة mbc طيلة أيام شهر رمضان المبارك واحدة من أدق وأخطر المراحل التي مرت بها الدولة العباسية بعد نشوب العديد من الخلافات والفتن التي بدورها هزت أركان الدولة الإسلامية وساهمت إلى حد كبير في أفول نجم المسلمين في ذلك العصر.فبعد فتنة البرامكة الشهيرة التي انتهت بحبس الخليفة العباسي هارون الرشيد ليحيى بن خالد البرمكي الذي كان يعد أحد أهم وأبرز قادته، توالت الخلافات في بلاط الدولة العباسية بعدما فضل الرشيد تقديم ابنه الأمين لخلافته رغم الذكاء والفطنة والعلم الذي تميز به بكره المأمون، حيث أدى تقديم الرشيد للأمين ذو الأم الفارسية لخلافته إلى نشوب فتنة طائفية عرقية بين العرب والفرس، مما تسبب في خلق صدع كبير في جسد الدولة الإسلامية التي عانت الأمرين من الفتن المتوالية.وكانت شرارة الخلاف اشتعلت بعد وفاة الرشيد وتقلد الأمين لأمور الخلافة، حيث دب نزاع بين الأخوين لتراجع الخليفة عن الوعود والمواثيق التي قطعها على نفسه جاعلاً ابنه موسى وليًا للعهد بدلاً من أخويه المأمون والمؤتمن، وتطور الأمر إلى حرب شعواء اشتعلت نيرانها بين الأخوين من جهة، وبين بطانة الأمين الفارسية وأتباع المأمون من العرب من ناحية أخرى
