{Discontented Americans consider Canada} read this to see why some U.S. Citizens considering Canada to live better.

By DAVID CRARY
July 19, 2003 | NEW YORK (AP) --
For all they share economically and culturally, Canada and the United States are increasingly at odds on basic social policies -- to the point that at least a few discontented Americans are planning to move north and try their neighbors' way of life. ...

To know how to put this in your weblog you simply have to paste this code in your post entry where is your <Blogger> </Blogger> at the blogger body codes.
In there you have to paste this where you want the cosmos same as mine to show up.
The code for blogger :

Blogspot is stil blocked in Iran

Hoder:True evidence that blogspot still being filtered in Iran
If you'd like to see what exactly is heppening to Iranian weblogs after the recent filtering in Iran, take a look at the stats report of a popular Persian weblog which happenes to be a little sexual. As you can see in this diagram, the page views have suddenly dropped to about %50 after July 9th and 10th. Therefore the rumors are true about blogspot still being blocked in Iran by most of the ISPs. Please do something about this as much as you can. At least spread the sad news.
you heard Hoder please spread this, for other fellow Bloggers in Iran. I think It would be good if we told Blogger to change their DNS for the sake of Iranian Bloggers.

Just Live and Let Di Via:Time

Imagine the pitch meeting. "It's a comic book about PRINCESS DIANA! Superpowers? Uh - let's make her a mutant! She's dead, you say? Great! We'll totally save on legal fees!" The foregoing is completely made up, but this isn't: on Sept. 10, Marvel Comics will publish a comic book featuring a resurrected mutant Diana, Princess of Wales. According to Marvel, the comic is a media-savvy satire on celebrity in which Diana must escape evil Eurotrash. The title? Di Another Day. No, that's not made up either.

Blogging tools unblocked

Hoder: Good news is that Iranian government has ordered ISPs to unblock blogging services and has said that it was a technical mistake by service providers. (Source: ISNA)

Had a Car accident!

Talk about luck in front of McDonalds. O it was about 11:00 AM this morning that I waked up cleaned my face and went upstairs to get something to eat. Time passed so it was 12:00 PM about that time I guess My mom said let's go to McDonalds because your sisters are saying they want McDonalds (We eat there like 3 days a month I guess) I like home made foods more I mean I like Junk food but not McDonalds, their weird I mean talk about their reason for their business to feed people around the world 24 hours a day unless they pay us. So where was I oh yes so I got a paper I asked my Brother what he wants he says a Mc'Chicken I say sure why not! I ask my sisters one of them is 5 and the other is 7 the little one says I want Mc'chicken because Ehsan (off course my brother) said it, I said sure too. And now I put another stuff on it then I have to change the list because my siblings want something else, My sisters now want a Happy meal. So we drive to down McDonalds then we check the drive thru with my mom we were going the wrong way we tried to go around McDonald but we went backwards so we hit a truck nothing happened to the truck except we had a Flat tire like totally damaged on the Left back side. Ahh it was a long story now we are fixing the car. I'm O.K. if your are wondering and My sisters got their Happy meal except my brother he ate something else I didn't buy it because someone brought something and he ate it from one of our Iranian friends. Hey by the way today is just horrible it's 13 by the way I realized that right now it's even not Friday!

Iranian Twins Buried Side by Side, in Two Graves

Iranians say no!

Iranian bloggers are saying no back to the Iranian government after cooperating with a lot of Iranian ISPs that provide internet in Iran. After they have blocked Political sites with Porn sites I agree with blocking porn in Iran but I don't agree with blocking blogger and Persianblog and also Political sites or any site that is involved in Political actions or even a groups point of view like women's site from Iran (Iranian Feminists). Now ISPs in Iran have blocked Free blogging providers such as Blogger and also Persianblog now Iranian bloggers are limited with these blockings around them and their Ideas to express freely, Iranian internet society have made a petition that you can support Iranian bloggers. There is few ways to help blogger get back to blogging one of them is stop buying their ISPs and buy the ones that do not block sites or by using proxy they can get rid of the blockings. for a good proxy site provided by Iranians is this one called Iranian bloggers against censorship.

Blocking: Optimistic scenario
Hoder: Optimistically speaking, I guess the recent blocking of all blogging tools in Iran (+ my own poor weblog!) in the days of July 9th, has been a matter of security. Almost any kind of communication with outside world were cut off: cell-phones, long-distance calling cards, VoIP phone lines, satelite TVs, Internet access, and finally weblogs. It is very likely that the reformist government has arranged all of it for the fear of riots in the city and a more than possible savage reaction to them by hardliner vigilante and revolutionary guards. Because hardliners are not practically capabale of doing all this.

So I'm hopeful that the input/output channels will be opened again by saturday and people can access blogosphere again. But anyways, please spread the word. It's very important.

Please write about this in your weblog too as hoder said.

Hoder: Ok, now it's official. Hamshahri, a very well-known newspaper, has reported that all Blogspot and Persianblog subdomains plus my own Persian and English weblogs (Editor:Myself) are blobked by the government. It might be something temporary in order to control the information from outside in the days of July 9th anniversarry. But anyways, they have done it now I guess it desreves attention.

I have seen a lot of movies after Matrix reloaded that I haven't write about it in my weblog. Like, Bruce allmighty,2fast 2 furious, Xman2 , Hulk, About Schmidt and T3. I promise next time I will right a report on it. Here is what my brother said on T3 me and him went and watched it the first day it came out.

Ehsany:
I saw this movie yesterday and I liked it, but it was too unreal and sometimes it funny. Like here's one part that was so funny, the lady takes the gun and she shoots at Schwarzenegger and then he stops it with his teeth and says " Don't do that" I laughed at that part so much. This other funny part was when Schwarzenegger gets hit by a firefighter car and one side of his glasses were all torn and the firefighters had a silent with they're mouths opened in surprise and then Schwarzenegger says "Il drive" and he throws the firefighters out of the car and he drives, that was also so funny for me.

Ehsan forgot about that part were there was near the end wheen Arnold is killing the other robot and he goes you have been terminated.

Who should I blame?

Should I blame anyone? Shah, Khomeini, People, U.S.A (CIA.) , United kingdom. The funny thing is all of these that I just said have been involved in 1979 Revolution (Iran), if you say No this was an people uprising I think you might be right but who was behind it was it Khomeini or was it Shah, so who actually convinced people to go to streets and say Death to U.S.A. Death to Shah!
All we have to do now is to wait and see, what's next? 3 more days until the big event 9th of July is coming up and the only one is who afraid of it is those Mullahs who have been eating peoples money and dreams and feeding it to their greed. Ah enough already ,all they do is has to do something with Islam or Quran I mean anything even the most simple things.

Here is one of them:

Hi
our news and our website have just started a campain to trasform the 9 July in Italy in our "Iran day" in support of the Iranian students. You can see the text calling all the people in Italy to write on our peace's flags still hanging to our windows from the Gulf War : "FREE IRAN! "
GREATINGS
mimmo

This is their website
google translation

And here is about Iranian day in Italy translated from Italian:

9 fridays ' July 1999. To 4 and 30 of mattino the bands of picchiatori Muslims and units of the police a dead man and hundreds of the wounded assault the dormitories of the university of Tehran leaving to earth. Little hours after a corteo of protest of the students he comes attacked of new, under the impassible look of the police, from armed miliziani of the "Party of God" of sticks and chains. The repression that follows invests all the fields of the civil and cultural life of the Iran and ago to tramontare the last hopes of a reformist evolution of the regimen. Under the Kathami presidency that in the West comes considered a reformist comes stoned to death at least 30 women. Four years after, the same scene is being repeated but the revolt of the students today expresses the malaise of an entire country and just for this it could end in a bath of blood, crushed from pasdaran and the military services the Muslims. Our proposal is not lasciari single! To make of the 9 July a great day of international solidarity writing on the peace flags that still wave in all FREE Italy "IRAN!" Why the 9 July becomes our "Iran day" a day dedicated to the freedom of the Iran. A day lived with the students of Tehran.

For the original Italian text email me.

Happy Canada Day

Intresting facts:
Did you know that before 1982 Canada Day had been known as Dominion Day, First of July, Confederation Day, and July the First? Canada Day celebrates the events that occurred on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. The BNA Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," therefore the original title of the holiday, "Dominion Day." Dominion Day was officially renamed "Canada Day" by an Act of Parliament on October 27, 1982. This change reflected the policy of successive governments to downplay Canada's colonial origins. Canada's national celebration is always observed on July 1, unless that date falls on a Sunday. In which case it is observed the following day. Via: Happy Canada Day

TIME: Should Christians Convert Muslims?

For me it's all the beliefs and first of all why would you change your beliefs to something else whose someone is telling you to do it. First of all Christianity and Muslim are not totally different religions same as Jewish. They all believe in one god and nothing but god and they all believe in an end as a gift from god for all our efforts and that is Heavens and Hell. And all of us believe in Jesus and Noah and every single other prophet from god. Yea they might all said something differently but they all wanted us to believe and have faith.

It's Summer?

Since Friday 4:10 PM in our Province Nova Scotia in Canada an Atlantic Province has officially started their summer. On Thursday we had school there were only about 10 people combined with two classes in one that came to school, we didn't do anything just watching perfect storm, so at recess I went home with one of my friends because there was nothing to be thought or learnt so I said bye to my teachers and I went home, my teacher asked me aren't you guys coming to Graduation dance this afternoon, I said no he said oh and then we left with my friend to my home with all of my stuff for a year on my back in a garbage bag, we had a locker clean up that day, that's why there was no use of coming to school on Friday. Now Friday is gone and now it's Saturday and there is a lot to do on Summer time.
We have a graduation ceremony on Wednesday for grade nines so I brought my suit and my tie and everything to impress others hehe... well it's a ceremony I have to look good anyways. I will give more information on this later, and what happens that day so stay tuned. or just visit me again on Thursday to see more on this.

Yare dabestani translation

In Nonblogger Alis weblog I found the translation of the Yare dabestani in English I was planning to do it my self before I found it.

Yare dabestani means my fellow classmate or MY PRIMARY-SCHOOL COLLEAGUE, so here is the translation. To listen to it in Persian click here.

MY PRIMARY-SCHOOL COLLEAGUE

My primary-school colleague,
You're with me and along with me,
The alphabet stick is above our heads,
You're my spite and my woe,
Our names have been carved,
On the body of this blackboard,
The hit of the stick of injustice and tyranny,
Has remained on our body,
All the grass of the plain of our not being cultural,
Is weedy,
Its people's hearts are dead,
If it's good,it'll be good,
If it's bad,it'll be bad,
Our hands should,
Tear these curtains up,
Who can except me and you,
Cure our pain?

My primary-school colleague,
You're with me and along with me,
The alphabet stick is above our heads,
You're my spite and my woe,
Our names have been carved,
On the body of this blackboard,
The hit of the stick of injustice and tyranny,
Has remained on our body

Hamid Bakhsheshi:
Late Friday afternoon, I'm trying to tie things up to get out of the office and go home. I'm sure the wife has plenty of things for me to do before the weekend even gets started. As Houshang Tozi said in one of his plays, Booye Khoshe Eshgh (the sweet smell of love), "here in America wives help the husbands around the house". If my dad only knew!

Anyway, I thought I check my emails one last time and then go. I had a message from naghmeh.com. I clicked on it and went to the site. I had visited it many times before and was amazed how well they had put this site together.

This time there was couple of new songs there. One was called "Yare Dabestani" (school friend) and the other "Iran". I listened to the first one. It is a wonderful mixture of pictures, graphics and poetry with the song. Before I knew it I was melted into this video. I went back twenty-four years to high school in Tehran. I was seventeen and crazy with the ideas of a so-called revolution. Fists up in the air shouting words of disagreement and hate even. Shoot, what did I know?

It also reminded me of so many friends and classmates who died believing the same thing I did. I, too held bloody shirts up in the air and made bandanas with them. I too sat at the front gate of the Tehran University until the guards came and took me away. I too was looking ahead for a better country and a better soil to grow my roots stronger. If I only knew.

So, sing Yare Dabestani, sing. I once wanted to hang the lantern of my life on the dead pine tree. Instead I left and came to America. My lantern burns and maybe, just maybe, some one will warm from it's glow or another student will read by it's light.

Cuba's Fidel Castro Falls for Phone Prank by Miami Radio DJs

(AP) - Two radio show hosts who duped Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez into believing he was speaking by phone with Fidel Castro now claim to have similarly tricked Castro. A recording provided by the Cuban-American radio announcers has a man they say is Castro responding for about four minutes Tuesday to snippets of a tape recording of Chavez, a Castro friend. He catches on to the prank after he is called an assassin and the conversation disintegrates into him denouncing the caller with a stream of obscenities. More

The fifth Harry Potter book

When the 5th Harry potter is coming out I'm definitely going to buy it, I mean it's an awesome book I used to talk about it with my friends in Dubai. I remember I told the next chapter to my friend while he had his ears covered because he wanted to go over it by him self. I have all the 4 Harry potter books in Persian and three of them in English I have different versions of the book in Persian, I used to tell my uncle to buy it for me when he visited Iran, so he sometimes brought different version of one Harry potter book and they were all awesome some of them where different from the other ones like they added stuff to it or like just erased it. When the fifth one comes out I'm going to buy it in English and I'm trying it to see if it's better or not I read the fourth one in Persian and English and I likes the Persian one better I don't know why but I thought it was better.

The biggest fruad in the ebay history


Man arrested in huge eBay fraud
MSNBC News:
June 12 — Police in South Salt Lake, Utah, are working with eBay to determine just how many people were victimized by what authorities say was one of the biggest frauds in the auction site’s history. Police arrested 31-year-old Russell Dana Smith last weekend after hundreds of auction winners complained that they sent $1,000 or more to a company named Liquidation Universe for laptop computers they never received. Police say the firm appears to have raked in $1 million from about 1,000 victims in just a few weeks.

About my trip

Here it goes I'm talking about the trip now, first of all we went to our school at like 8:30 I had to wake up at 7:00 AM so I get everything ready.
it took us two hours to get there, me and one of my friends sat next to each other and played Game boy advanced there was nothing else to do. When we got there they told us the rules and everything, like don't swear or don't go to other cabin, we were separated from the girls, our cabin was called "Dogwood" we had the best cabin ever I couldn't sleep at all at the first day our chaperon flipped on the people that were running on the hallway I guess it was like 2:30 Am ha-ha it was funny he was in his boxers ringing around shouting at people and stuff while I was trying to sleep, I couldn't sleep everyone was turning on the lights.
In this trip a lot of fun stuff happened. We were al separated into groups I was group #3 so when they rang the siren we had to be at this " U" shape place, once I missed it and I looked everywhere for them but I lost them, so I went with another group for that activity.
I also sank my Canoe that was provided by the Camp in there with my paddling partner, he was shaking the canoe a lot and I don't know after I guess 30 minutes of fun in the lake we sank, the water wasn't that deep, they told us to wear shoes so we wouldn't get hurt by shellfishes and other creatures so I wore my shoes and we had to walk because we tried to bring the canoe the way it was and try to paddle back but it didn't work, they water got deeper on the shores. We had to put all the other canoes on the truck because we were the last ones to come out, that was just plain crucial, me and my friend ran to our cabins to get a shower we ran as fast as we could so no one could see us. Then we figured out that other student's sank too!

The last day we had to do a skit we made a skit about our chaperon going crazy on us, everyone loved it. Food and everything was provided by them, it wasn't bad well I was hungry I had to eat it, I should say 99% grease.
After the skit we had to play outside, it was night and some guy throw a soccer ball at me without any purpose so I ran after him o kick him but I fell and triped over rocks so I hurt my elbow and there was a lot of blood that day, one of the teachers helped me with first aid and to make my elbow feel better I saw something similar to this at eyranian.net .
The camp was running by the Salvation army. we had a Misses so she said grace before each meal we had.
On the last sleeping day I should say the second day our chaperon made us sleep whenever we wanted to, so we didn't sleep until it was 5:00 AM or I guess 4:00 AM, some of my friends put shaving cream on my face and my eyes my eyes burnt for a few minutes. I was sleeping so good.
It was fun we did a lot of activities. After that we go to the school and we went home my mom told me that my two little sisters were asking about me during my trip.

A new Iraqi blogger

Here is a new Iraqi blogger that writes in English and talks about life in Iraq.

G said:
"If we were in Beirut, grozny or Tehran with the same set of events we just had in Baghdad, We would have half of the politicians around us assassinated by rival factions, at least 10 suicide bombers, half of the American journalists here taken as hostages and sectarian / ethnic fighting’s in the streets."
