A Case for Good Mathmaticians

Equation of the month:
26 years ago, Ibtisam gave birth for her 1st daughter.
2 days after, Bisan was born !
How?
The one with the most creative answer gets a special prize from darQassis.

simplistic cake recipe

I'm bored studying so I'll post for you a cake recipe that even i can do.
All what you need are:
2 eggs, 3/4 cup of Sugar ( brown or white), 2 cups of Wheat, 1 little yogurt cup (125 g), 1/2 a thing of butter (warm it up to be liquid "Important"). And (if you want) some dried fruits, for example: dates, dried figs or apricots.
how you do it?
Throw every thing inside the blender , mix for about 2 minutes !
wipe your baking form with oil not to be sticky.
Pour the mixture into the form, let it relax for one hour, and then bake with 175° (middle) about 30-40 minutes.
oh yes about the dried fruits, you can also not put them in the blender, but chop them with the knife, and then mix them by hand, so that you'll have pieces of fruit inside you wonderful cake.
So, if you have a birthday of "someone" soon, and never made a cake, just try this. it takes 6 minutes of work and tastes, for such simplicity, quite surprising.

cheers,
Nael

I am fine

عيد سعيد

 

عيد سعيد لكل العائلة

وكل عام وأنتم بخير

قصيدة الأم

بناء على طلب الجماهير اللي بحبه الشعر أنشر قصيدة الأم


يا مثال الكمال والنغم الحلو والسحر في العيون الفتية
الجمـــال الإلـــه أبدع بالخــلق فكانت ترنيمة أزلـــــية
أنا قبل الوجود كنت أصلي كي أراها في لحظة شعرية
قبل نسج الحروف كانت بفكري نغمات ترن في عفوية
قبل بدء الربيع كانت أريجا تهب الورد نسمة عطرية
تـــهب الطـــــير شدوه فيغني لحن حـب للأم في عفوية
لـلوفاء الكبير مــــن كل أم .. لعطاها للهمة العلوية
للفداء العظيم من قلب أم لا يضاهيه في الوجود قضية
أنت أمي وكل أم بقلبي تتسامى والكون يشرق غيّة
وبعمق السماء يشدو ملاك لحن شكر لكل أم سخية

تعب الخلد بانتظارك هيا أنا والخلد في هواك ضحية
بزغ الفجر في عيونك تيهي فهنا الشمس قد تضيء عشيّة
وهــــنا الــــنجم يستريح قـــــــليلا يتغنى بـلحن أم وفية
تكبت الحــــــزن في الفؤاد وتمضي بثبات بهمة وروية
ترفض الذلّ أن يكون شعارا .. علمينا كيف تكون الأبية
أنت نبع السخاء يعطيك شعري لمسات من الجمال سخية
أسأل الله أن تكوني دواما لحن عز لكل أهل البرية
فأهلّي يا أيها الأم مني وإليك من الجميع التحية

Do you know......

Do you know that easter and x-mas are on the same day?

OK. see the picture.

Frohe Ostern

كل عام وانتم بألف خير


All over the world, happy eastern.

البيت الأول في النهاية نسمة عطرية
الحق على الطباعة وأكيد بعض الفهماء اكتشفوها لوحدهم

بالعربي

يوم الأربعاء الماضي .. الديوان الثقافي الساحوري رتب حفلة بمناسبة عيد الأم وبداية الربيع وقد اشتركت بإلقاء قصيدة في هذه المناسبة .. كانت القصيدة بعنوان الأم ومنها هذه الأبيات:

قبل بدء الربيع كانت أريجا تهب الورد نسمة عطرية
تهب الطير شدوه فيغنّي لحن حب ٍ للأم في عفوية

بمناسبة عيد القيامة أتمنى للجميع عيدا سعيدا وحياة مديدة
وكل عام وأنتم بخير

A wonderful day

Happy Mothers' Day to all mothers and those with motherly feelings in the family.

For everyone else: "don't forget to buy presents ;-)"

Info: in Palestine today 21.of March, the beginning of Spring is the mothers' day, in Germany it is the 2nd Sunday in May, in France the last Sunday in May, but in Argentina the 2nd Sunday in October, in Indonesia the 22. of December and in Iran, depends on the Hijry Calender, the birthday of Fatima (Prophet's daughter).

Every day is somewhere mothers' day.


have fun

Sitti's Birthday

Dear all,
I have uploaded some pictures of sitti's birthday which we received from Rami. All we need now is an update about the event...!
much love,
Bisan

Website Tip - al-Gathafi

al-Gathafi theories, university lectures and all important speeches are at his website www.algathafi.org
For example about religion. AlGathafi says
that Ibraham was Muslim and all other prophets as well due to verses from the Quran. So Islam is different than "Muhammadism". Islam is the religion of God. The followers of Mohammad are Muslims but also the followers of Jesus, Moses and all others who preach of one God are Muslims. So when someone insults Islam or Muslims, he is insulting all people who believe in one God. As well, insulting Mohammad is insulting one of the Moslim prophets. So he wonders "why when someone from Denmark insults Islam, the followers of Mohammad are angry?! It's an insult to every believer in God, let him insult"!!!
Gathafi is the living Ghandi, even the same name, just with arabic accent :-)

have fun and "knowledge",

Nael

joke

Beautiful diamond bracelet

A lady walks into a very upscale jewelry shop. She browses around,
spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it.
Bending over to get a closer look, she accidentally passes gas.

Extremely embarrassed, she freezes for a few moments and then slowly
straightens up and turns around to see whether anyone has noticed her
little accident. Her worst fears are confirmed in the form of a
Salesman standing right behind her.

Cool as a cucumber, the salesman greets the lady with a very
professional, 'Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?'

Hoping against hope that he may just not have been there at the time
of her little 'accident', she asks, 'Sir, what is the price of this
lovely bracelet?'

He answers, 'Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to
shit when I tell you the price.'

Dafer is back

my dearest family
ive been away for a while and did not contribute to the family blog, my bad, but i have been really really busy.
my laptop broke down so i am currently fomputerless, and in order for me to use a computer i have to check if my roommate isnt using his, or come to the library for that.
i am good though, my studies are good, very stressful though, i have 4 courses and a bachelor paper to write on top of that. my exams are in 3 weeks time, andthe stress is already starting.
I am going to germany next week to celebrate easter with the family there, it has been a really long time that i've seen them and hopefully we will get drunk enough with jamal.
i hope things are good back in beit sahour, and i wish we could make it to siti's birthday party, but we will be thinking of her.

Good Morning

Some thing funny happened with Sete Mariam last Saturday.

Some one called her from Spitany Center to ask her where she is living, because her cleaning machine is broken and need to be fixed soon.

She replied Walla I don’t know I can’t explain you where I am living lol.

When she told me this I asked her Miriam why did you reply like this she said I forget where I am living , but after she closed the line she remembered that she is leaving near Almared Center …………

Ha Ha ha

Poor Mariam ………………

We are going to Celebrate her 87 years old next week the 17th of March , so any suggestions what to do on that day please let me know because I am planning to do a very special Day.

Have a nice day

Yours

Aunt Najeya is fine

Update 9.03.08: Basem was visiting her today and she is recovering well and gave her the greetings in name of all the family. Always one of the daughters stays beside aunt Najeya.
Better if we do not phone the hospital to let her recover totally.
To keep you informed I will update the news at Dar Qassis.

Uncle Basem phoned yesterday and told that aunt Najeya had had already the operation. It went alright.
Uncle Basem thinks that she might come out of the hospital before eastern, so that we can celebrate together again.

HaPpY HaPpY bIrTHdAy Ibtisam

what Rifat cooked when you came from Holland was a ridiculous joke compared to his cooking talents, which he's going to show you today.

Have a wonderful day and a great joyful year surrounded with all people you love.

cheers

Joke

Mommy... I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the
woods with Aunt Jane.
I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss. Then he
helped her take off her shirt.
Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt
Jane........"
At this point Mommy cut him off and said, "Johnny, this is such an
interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for suppertime.
I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight."!
At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story,
Johnny started his story, "I was at the playground and
I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to
look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss
Then he helped her take off her shirt then Aunt Jane helped Daddy
take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that
Mommyand Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army."

Moral: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you
interrupt.

I recieved this joke yesterrday, I hope you will like it.

from Hani

Thank Bisan for your nice words. To be Honest I will be more engaged than before. But I'll try to be present at the blog.
The honorary ceremony yesterday was nice. Many people attended. Bishop Munib, Abdallah Awwad. Mayer of Beit Sahour Hani AlHayek, gave words of appreciation. At The end I said my word. After that there was a good reception.
Thank for the church who organized this ceremony and many thanks for the people who attended.

Hani's honorary farewell party

Dear all,
As most of you already know, uncle Hani received yesterday an honorary farewell party from the church meant to thank him and appreciate his wonderful work and services during the period he worked both as a school head master and as the church preacher.
In the family album, you’ll find some pictures of this event which i received from Rula.
I hope that we’ll hear more news from uncle Hani and that he will become a more active member in our blog.
Love,
Bisan
