Everyone is looking to be loved and to give love though it's not always that easy as we find out in Stupid Fucking Bird. In this twisted and very comical take on Anton Chehkov's The Seagull that is filled with bird references relating to life, Stupid Fucking Bird is the story of dysfunctional friends and family who are defined by their own complexities, self-absorption and yearnings. Also relating theatre to life, Aaron Posner's Stupid Fucking Bird uses stage performance as insightful metaphors to human behavior.
Sideshow Theatre Company's production of Posner's adaptation of Chehkov's boring and often hard to watch stage classic is nothing short of hilarious at times and funny all the way through despite a heavier ending than expected. Assembled in this witty play is a dynamite cast led by Nate Whelden who plays "Cody Proctor", a tortured playwright who is in love with his subject "Nina" (Jeff nominated Nina O'Keefe) whom will never love him in return. Cody Proctor is incensed with commercial theatre that is not "world changing" and is determined to write provocative and meaningful art that has an effect on society. In the meantime, emptiness, loneliness and lack of purpose are ever present in those close to him and "Nina" wants to be a seagull – thus the title, Stupid Fucking Bird.
The story is filled with dark humor and clever parodies of the original it spoofs. There are moments where the actors interact with the crowd, whether to ask for advice on a specific situation or to simply vent to us. The set is modest but effective to which its simplicity actually adds to the show's theme of hollowness and the constant longing to be complete.
Stupid Fucking Bird is not only funny it is also heartwarming and can be thought provoking on occasion. It is a journey that most are all too familiar with and it is a struggle that can often be overcome. There is a good reason this play was a hit on the East Coast, that being it's engagingness and cast of characters that are easy to identify with.
Stupid Fucking Bird is playing in the upstairs theatre of Victory Gardens (2433 N. Lincoln) through September 21st. For tickets and/or more information, visit www.victorygardens.org or call (773) 871-3000.

Salon Tips From Our Expert Team
We see hundreds of clients every month. From cutting, styling and changing your colour, to the latest fashions and street trends, our qualified team have a wealth of knowledge – that's why we were recently nominated for the Scottish Hairdressing Awards. From classic looks to ultra modern design – we cover it all – all the while in a relaxing environment. Here are some quick answers to three of the most common questions we get.
How Can I Smooth and DeFrizz?If your hair just won't do what it's told then fortunately help is at hand. L'Oreal have two ranges that have proved particular favourites with our customers. Sometime we recommend Liss Unlimited shampoo and conditioner (pick some up the next time you visit us). This helps replenish and smooth even the most rebellious of tresses.
The shampoo is enriched with pro-keratin and kukui & evening primrose oils and it purifies the hair and scalp and provides an anti-frizz effect. Kukui nut oil is a traditional Polynesian remedy to help soothe skin from the effects of sun, wind and other natural elements. It's a natural moisturizer and full of antioxidants so is great for hair. It also can help combat the discomfort of a dry, itchy scalp.
The Liss Unlimited Conditioning Masque contains the same key ingredients as the shampoo and should be applied to damp, clean hair. Leave it for a few minutes and then rinse off. The result? Your locks will behave! Another great range is ABSOLUT REPAIR Lipidium which is enhanced with lipids, ceramides, lactic acid and phyto-keratin. These products leave hair feeling softer and stronger and help reduce the signs of damage. From shampoo and conditioner to repairing serums our highly trained stylists can guide you to the perfect products that will moisturise and nourish. Hair care technology is always evolving and we keep up to date with the latest developments so be sure to ask us if you have any concerns.
How Can I Add Volume?Your hair care routine plays a crucial role in thickness. The new L'Oreal Professional range of Serioxyl products can help you achieve the perfect level of fullness, by adding thickness, density and lift. We use them in-salon and our customers have been delighted with the results.
Many women use the wrong brushes for their particular hair type and when you next visit us your stylist can advise you on the correct brush to use and show you how to best use it. We love sharing what we know with our clients, and are always delighted to offer you styling tips to you can keep those salon-fabulous looks once you are back at home.
How Can I Straighten Without Damage?Achieving straight hair without damaging it comes down to two things – the equipment and products you use and how you apply them. Buying cheap straightening irons can be a false saving and may result in long-lasting damage. Only use reputable brands.
We recommend Steam Pod straighteners, brought to you by L'Oréal Professionnel and Rowenta Salon Electricals. When using Steam Pod straighteners with the recommended products you can create a straightening effect that can last for up to three days. The Steam Pod Protective Smoothing Serum and Replenishing Smoothing Cream come with the benefits of pro-keratin and avocado oil, ensuring proper-nourishment, protection, and strength.
We use the Steam Pod system and in the hands of a skilled hairdresser it brings amazing results. If you're in the unfortunate position of having hair that is already damaged by straightening we have gotten very excited about a brand new product called Mythic Oil Seve Protectrice. Applied to dry or damp hair this provides a protective coating and gives protection up to 230 degrees centrigrade. The Mythic Oil range also contains shampoo, conditioner, masque and oil and leaves hair shiny, light and healthy. We've been using it with our customers with great results.
We use all of the products mentioned above every day to keep our clients looking fabulous. They are also for sale in our salon shop. When you visit to get your hair cut or coloured ask us about them – your hair dresser will be delighted to give advice and walk you through the best options for you. Check our price list for details of our treatments and services. Our business survives and thrives because of the high standards of customer service and satisfaction we are committed to. Our clients appreciate the friendly touch, and keep coming back, and telling their friends about us. Read our online reviews and testimonials.

Beth Orton ~ Central Reservation
Is Beth Orton the folkie Beck? Or is Beck an Orton with beats? Since both graze from genre to genre like goats feasting on whatever strikes their fancy, drawing parallels is tempting...and perhaps pointless. After all, both artists were born in 1970 and emerged at a time when musical categorization became an exercise in futility. English thrush Orton's third album--like her critically hailed debut and the Best Bit EP--prompts one to flash on an ever-swelling range of influences. Since she's blessed with the rich, warm voice of a true pop singer, it's easy to imagine her sharing space on some out-of-time radio playlist with Dusty Springfield (listen to the elegant, string-laden "Sweetest Decline"), except Orton's music draws on '90s trip-hop elements as well the jazzy folk of Tim Buckley and vet Terry Callier (reprising his Best Bit cameo). Orchestration, upright bass, vibes, and Orton's own resolute guitar give long, languid tracks such as "So Much More" and "Pass in Time" an Astral Weeks-like feel. All those touchstones and no fewer than six producers might imply that Central Reservation is something of a mishmash. In truth, Orton's overriding vision is all that's needed to create cohesion. --Steven StolderSee all Editorial Reviews

WEDNESDAY, July 23, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Regularly checking the pulse of a stroke survivor may help prevent another stroke, researchers report.
"Screening pulse is the method of choice for checking for irregular heartbeat for people over age 65 who have never had a stroke. Our study shows it may be a safe, effective, noninvasive and easy way to identify people who might need more thorough monitoring to prevent a second stroke," said study author Dr. Bernd Kallmunzer, of Erlangen University in Germany.
The study included more than 250 people who survived an ischemic stroke (blocked blood flow to the brain). Either the patients or their relatives were taught how to monitor the pulse to detect an irregular heartbeat.
Pulse checks taken by patients and relatives were nearly as accurate as those taken by health care workers, according to the study published online July 23 in the journal Neurology.

The atrium of GSA's headquarters building. (GSA photo)
Readers offered some strong commentary on sources quoted in a Sept. 25 FCW article that outlined contractor concerns about GSA's new headquarters renovation and telework policy.
One reader wrote: Did our genius friends that polled a "handful" of contractors give any thought to logical reasons behind a longer lead time for communications or modifications? Moving from VA to DC does not happen overnight and it takes a few days to pack up for the move. Unpacking is just as time consuming. I'm not sure I care about the perceptions of nameless contractors.
Another said: Why are we concerned with what contractors think about government employees' seating arrangements? We are still available via telephone and email as before. Our administrator has been accomplishing what he had been tasked with by the White House. Yes, I am a GSA employee and we do a fine job for the taxpayers!
Mark Rockwell responds: To say this story is only about seating arrangements misses a larger point. The story is about profound shifts for every GSA worker and the effects of those changes on the outside world.
GSA's bold efforts to radically, and innovatively, change its employees' work environment -- including the locations they work from -- are bound to have some initial challenges. These same kinds of changes have rocked the everyday operations of large private corporations the last few years as they implemented similar policies. The reported difficulties aren't a reflection on whether GSA employees are effective or not.
Big, notable companies on the leading edge of workspace innovation, from Best Buy to Yahoo!, have struggled mightily with telework policies in the last year. I didn't bring up Yahoo! CEO Marissa Meyer's decision to rescind her company's telework policy lightly. It illustrated the current struggle corporations are having with flexible-workplace issues. Yahoo! and Best Buy ultimately chose to end their telework programs.
Those decisions, however, don't necessarily predict the fate of GSA's efforts. Meyer later told a workplace convention that her decision applied only to her company and shouldn't be held up as an example for every organization implementing flex-work programs.
It can take some time to make small things -- like how to reserve meeting spaces -- routine once again, when operating with a slew of new procedures and locations. Having to work from home or share desks are challenges for any organization, its workers, customers and contractors. For some, it's an upheaval; for others, a bump in the road.

so, this journal is pretty much dead... but i've started a new one, which i will attempt to update more regularly, here:
it will focus on my photography, experiences in syria, and social/political issues related to the middle east. i'm probably not going to post much in the way of personal entries. add me on facebook for that.

"I just don't know what got into her head, to be completely honest with you," GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said. "Her going to a state which is without question a sponsor of terror, and having her picture taken with (Bashar) Assad and
being seen in a headscarf
and so forth is sending the wrong signal to the people of Syria and to the people of the Middle East.

damn... 27.
i don't like this number at all. seems way too old for me.
but, on the positive side... i apparently have a job offer. or something. an english-language syrian magazine is expressing interest in my photography (and only after seeing the relatively unimpressive selection i've posted online). i'm traveling back to damascus to meet with them. i'm trying not to get my hopes up, as quite possibly they just think they can take advantage of me for some free photos, but perhaps upon seeing my catalog (20,000 photos from practically everywhere around syria) they'll be interested in hiring me seriously.
*crosses fingers*
hanadi and i are still in love with each other. i'm not sure what will come of it. she is still terrified of pursuing our relationship because of her family and other obstacles. but everyday she seems to feel more and more that she'll only be happy if she is with me. it seems i have little control over the situation except to reassure her that she'll be safe with me. but the reality is that she'll probably have to leave her family on negative terms in order for us to be together.
i'm going to go to ugarit (origin of the world's oldest phonetic alphabet). the weather is absolutely beautiful today.

well, it's been a pretty long absence, i know... i just really haven't had much to say. or, rather, i haven't felt there has been much point to put down in text the details of what has been occupying my life these past months. i never really look back on these journals, and doubt anything i say has much influence on anybody else, so whenever i've opened this update page it has sat idle while i've done other things.
i'm still in syria. still working on this photography guide to syria project i started almost one year ago, which is slowly nearly completion (well, the photography element of it, anyway). i have little doubt that i'm putting together the best and most comprehensive collection of photography for syria's sites, so i'm very proud of it. and most of those i've shared my photos with here in syria seem to really appreciate what i'm doing, which makes me happy. i still haven't uploaded any new photos... but at some point in the future there will be thousands of them up on my website.
since moving out of damascus the end of january, i've just been undertaking a final tour around syria. getting to a few sites i missed previously, and revisiting a few where i feel i could use some better photos. and, in addition, visiting friends around the country.
i was in aleppo for about ten days, with a short side-trip to al-raqqa to visit some sites in that region. i had a few memorable days... they generally involved lots of tea, invitations to peoples' homes, pleasant conversations, and strangers pulling over and giving me free rides (including once a taxi driver, who drove me 10km directly to my hotel, and refused to take any money).
i'm in lattakia at this very moment. i just returned from a lovely two-day hiking trip in the mountains and forest around kassab, near the mediterranean and the border with turkey. these hikes are organized by a local group, and usually about 200 people from around syria show up (with the occasional foreigner). they're mostly university age, so it is lots of fun. met some really nice people, as usual. and a really cute girl from homs. we'll see if anything comes of that... :)
there is one more hike around suweida in the end of march... probably around the time i'll be preparing to leave. perhaps a nice finish to my journey.
i am really, really, really, really, really not looking forward to returning to los angeles. a large part of this is because, as usual, i have no fucking clue what i'll do with myself once i'm back. no job set up (aside from working off some debts to my dad), not really sure where i'll live, and of course facing further alienation from my friends and family as none of whom have even the most remote understanding or comprehension of the place, history, culture, traditions and language i've been absorbed in for the last 14 months.
yani... at the same time i realize i can't be a traveler forever. and it seems that if i'm ever going to have a relationship with a syrian girl, i do need to establish some sort of stable life for myself. i've been here long enough and met enough syrian women to know my lifestyle isn't going to work with any of them. ;)
but, fuck... i'm really not sure what to do. i'm not a business-orientated person at all. i'm fairly miserable working jobs i feel are futile. i've done it before only because i was looking for a way to save money to travel, then leave. but none of those jobs ever came close to providing for a stable life, none of them provided prospects for the future. they paid bills and allowed me to pocket a few hundred dollars a month (by sacrificing my social life, generally). they were just jobs. and i want to find something i could be passionate about doing, but there isn't very much money in any of the things i feel i could be passionate about.
i can't say i'm always overwhelmed with joy being in syria. i do go through periods of loneliness. i do go through periods where i wish i wouldn't have to explain my political views so often (or continue giving excuses for you assholes that put people like bush into power). i do miss being able to pursue 'normal' relationships and not have to deal with all the obstacles traditional arab culture throws in the way.
but i'm very comfortable here. i really adore this country. the history and culture are fascinating and easy to be absorbed by, while the people never cease to amaze me with their generosity and hospitality. i love walking down streets that have existed for over 2,000 years, with little evidence of western-dominated globalism to pollute the scene. and i like the fact when i explain my political views to people, they're admired and appreciated rather than misunderstood due to widespread, self-imposed [and media reinforced] ignorance about the world.
really, i miss californian cuisine and punk shows more than anything else. syrian food is awesome, for sure, but not everyday. i'd even get tired of indian food everyday, and i love that stuff. of course i do miss my friends and family quite a bit, it's nothing that a short visit back to l.a. wouldn't satisfy.
this post shouldn't be misunderstood as a request for advice... in truth, i really don't like receiving advice. especially through the internet. i've noticed people here have a habit of thinking they understand a person even from rare, vague journal entries that are often composed as the result of specific moods. if you want to comment, don't tell me what you think i should do. because you don't know me (nobody on livejournal does), and it's not like i haven't considered my options. eventually i'll figure something out. though if anyone wants to donate to the Keep Daniel From Having to Return to the United States Fund, feel free to inquire. ;)
okay, i'm out to get some food.

A few nights ago I attended my first Syrian metal show, something which I'm sure very few of my non-Arab friends even realize exist. I thought taking some photos and making known the Syrian metal scene would be a good opportunity to reveal that side of the Middle East that is rarely, if ever, displayed in Western media.
While there is no punk scene in Syria, there is a fairly large metal scene here, with local bands from most of the major cities. Many of them cover songs from western metal bands, no doubt in part because western metal bands never tour here (though some of them do tour in neighboring Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon). Not surprisingly, many of them sing in English.
The show was held in a run-down cinema in downtown Aleppo which generally plays decade-old American action flicks or Egyptian comedies, and was surprisingly reminiscent of some smaller punk shows I've been to. Granted, I haven't been to any metal shows back home, but I can't imagine the atmosphere being terribly different, and I felt right at home. Most of the crowd was, not surprisingly, in the 16-30 age range, far more guys than girls. There was lots of long hair, metal band t-shirts, tattoos, and everything else that one would associate with metal music. There was a mosh pit, and even a fight broke out! Oh, and the police decided to shut down the show (thankfully not until their last song). It felt all so familiar...
The members of this particular band, Orion, were, as far as I know, all Armenians from Aleppo. Apparently most of the songs they played were covers of western groups, but I didn't really know any of them except the obligatory Metallica song.
Anyhow... photos:
The longer I've been here the more bothered I've become by the one-dimensional view of this region held by nearly everyone not from here. I've become sick of discussing politics, because I've become tired of this being the only perspective from which outsiders seem capable of viewing the Middle East. Most of those who find fascination in the politics of the region seem content to ignore everything else about the society, culture, and lifestyle.
I've met a disturbing number of foreigners here recently who are more interested in seeing the destruction inflicted on southern Lebanon during the recent conflict than are interested in admiring the monuments that are testiment to the thousands of years of civilization in the region. They seem far more interested in discovering the image of the Middle East they see in the western news media than they are interested in truly coming to understand the depths of this society.
Some people, after looking at my photos from the region, have suggested I should travel to Lebanon specifically to photograph the destruction from the war. But I think the last thing the world needs are more images to reinforce the idea of the Middle East as a place of eternal conflict, violence, war, extremism.
The vast majority of the photography I have done here has been of the historical and archaeological sites, as well as cultural sites such as the traditional souqs/markets, and religious shrines. This is because the website I'm putting together will be a guide to Syria's historical and cultural sites. I'm hoping this will also serve somewhat to show people there is far more to this region than politics.
I'm also hoping to have a chance, before leaving Syria, to photograph the more "modern" elements of Syrian society, because I think most of those who have never visited this region fail to realize how modern it really is. There are plenty of coffeeshops with WiFi internet access serving expresso and cappacino, and there are probably more camels in California than in Syria.
Oh, yeah... and I discovered photography in concert lighting without a flash is really fucking difficult. It was my first attempt, and maybe 400ISO wasn't high enough sensitivity.

I'm planning to head over to Lebanon once there is some sort of ceasefire called or a safe way in. The border from Damascus to Beirut is still closed, and the road completely fucked up anyway. The Homs to Baalbek road is the same story, I believe. I read the bridge south of Hermel leading to Baalbek was destroyed, and they've been bombing the Bekka pretty intensely. The only reliable way in seems to be from Tartus to Tripoli and along the coast, but I'm in wait-and-see mode right now.
They're going to need a lot of volunteers, and I have a few friends that work for a couple environmental organizations in Beirut. The oil spill has covered the entire Lebanese coast from Beirut north to Syria, so they're going to need a lot of help cleaning that up, which I've heard will take 6 months to a year. I could also volunteer helping displaced people or in cleaning up various other the destruction that Israel has made... we'll see.
I know there are many people of Lebanese background among my friends, anyone else have similar plans?

So, I opened up a news article about "Bush's plan" to quell violence in Iraq, and found roughly half of the article to be about the pissing match between Democrats and Republicans over who can kiss more Zionist/AIPAC ass.
I hate the mainstream of the Democratic Party. Really, they are the biggest bunch of pussies. They're like fundamentally incapable of taking a moral stance on ANYTHING that could threaten their political careers.
The two leaders [President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki] disagreed openly on how to end hostilities between the Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon and Israel, with al-Maliki, a Shiite Muslim leader, reiterating his support for an immediate cease-fire and Bush sticking by the administration opposition to one.
Okay, good, maybe the leadership in Iraq will represent its populace after all. Democracy is a positive thing, right?
A group of
House Democrats called on GOP leaders to cancel al-Maliki's address to Congress
on Wednesday. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said he doubted he would attend and that there were a "large number of people (in Congress) who were uncomfortable" with al-Maliki's condemnation of Israel's attacks in Lebanon and apparent support for Hezbollah.
Ohhhhh, wait. We can't support democracy if it goes against Israel! Who cares if this guy is supposed to represent the democratic will of the Iraqi people, if he's against anything Israel does, we can't support him! We can't even listen to him speak!
Democrats criticized al-Maliki's comments. "Prime Minister Maliki missed an important opportunity to state his position on Hezbollah, and instead left the impression that he does not oppose this terrorist organization's outrageous attacks on Israel," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
Because attacking/capturing enemy combatants is
, but destroying billions and billions of dollars of civilian infrastructure, killing hundreds, wounding thousands, and displacing over 1/2 million people isn't. Got it. Oh, and using your only means of retaliation over said destruction/murder (launching missiles) is outrageous. Check.
I wonder, if al-Maliki was criticizing Hezbollah and made no mention of the Israeli bombardment, would you suggest he missed an
important opportunity
to state his position on Israel's attacks?
I guess not.
Kerry called on Maliki to strongly condemn the use of terror anywhere — including by Hezbollah against Israel — in his speech to Congress on Thursday.
Oh, right,
including by Hezbollah against Israel
! Thanks for the reminder! Poor, victimized Israel. Always being attacked without cause, and always forgotten...
What about state terrorism? Shouldn't condemn that, right, Mr. Kerry? Good work, douchebag. This is why I didn't vote for you.
I think American politicians are accustomed to these Arab monarchs who will say whatever the U.S. wants them to say in order to maintain American support. American politicians are going to have to think again if they believe "democracy" in the Middle East is ever going to result in anything remotely pro-Israel.
I wish the Democrats would just shut up. Stop talking. Stop reminding me how pathetic and worthless our only realistic alternative to Bush is. Grrrrrrrr.
Meanwhile, Israel murders more U.N. peacekeepers. Of course that world-renowned anti-Semite, Kofi Annan, says the attack was "apparently deliberate."
In another article:
On Tuesday, Rice said her effort was designed "to bring about an urgent but enduring cease-fire in Lebanon,
one that can deal with the causes of extremism that began this crisis
and that can also lead to the establishment of the sovereignty of the Lebanese government throughout its territory.
Causes of extremism? Well, the
in this case was no doubt the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon. If you want to talk about
, look at how the capture of two enemy combatants results in the wholesale destruction of an entire country. And the cause of this extremism is the unwavering U.S. support of Israel no matter how horrible the atrocities it commits. If anyone in power in the U.S. was willing to challenge Israel on anything it does, Israel wouldn't be able to retaliate with such extremism.
Oh, but I guess the
Rice is referring to is the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah, regardless of the fact Israel holds thousands of Arab political prisoners and prisoners of war.
Rice claims "
the region needs enduring solutions
." Apparently for the U.S., the only "enduring solution" is getting every Arab state in the region to support Israel's "right to
attack/destroy/murder anything/anyone, anytime, anyplace
defend itself", preferably through a "democracy" which will support Israel's "right" over representing it's own people or it's own interests.
Of course, the U.S. still wants to take credit for rescuing Lebanon at the same time:
[Assistant Secretary of State David Welch] noted that the U.S. led the way in an international humanitarian assistance campaign by offering $30 million in aid to Lebanon, which will come mostly in goods such as blankets and sheets. Saudi Arabia pledged
$1.5 billion
in aid on Tuesday.
Actually, the U.S. didn't "led the way" at all, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait donated millions of dollars a couple days after fighting began. Not to say Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are all that noble, the Saudis and Kuwaits just don't want their favorite vacation spot destroyed.
"It is important that these voices be there and be gathered for this purpose because if you look at what the outcome of this crisis will be, it is going to be a stronger Lebanon where its freedoms are preserved and strengthened."
Yeah, because the complete destruction of a country's infrastructure always puts it on the path to becoming "stronger". These people are fucking nuts. Lebanon could be a complete disaster zone as far as they're concerned, as long as nobody was capable of harming an Israeli soldier everything would be lovely.
Proposals for disarming the Shiite Islamic militant group and assembling an international peacekeeping force to be deployed along the Israeli-Lebanese border were on the agenda Wednesday as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other key Mideast players gathered in Rome for a meeting on the crisis.
Why don't we disarm Israel, and have an international peacekeeping force deployed to protect it? That sounds better to me.
"[The Israeli defense minister] hinted that Israel might enforce the no-go zone from a distance, saying that "we will continue to control with our fire toward anyone who will get close to the defined security zone."
That seems to be implying that Israel has plans to kill any civilians that attempt to return to their homes in villages near the border.
I don't support Hezbollah's ideology, but I do support their right to defend their country. I might get shit from certain segments of Lebanon's populace for saying this, but Hezbollah not only represents the south, they are the south. They have every right to defend that territory, and I hope they continue to inflict casualties on Israeli soldiers marching into their country. I'm quite impressed by the defense they're putting up, even after two weeks of bombing Israel hasn't been able to advance very far and take loses every time they try. Go Hezbollah.

Israel tells villagers to flee, and then massacres them while they're doing so...
At least 12 Lebanese villagers, including women and children, were killed on Saturday in an Israeli air strike on vehicles fleeing a village in southern Lebanon, a witness said.
The convoy was leaving the border village of Marwahin when it was attacked.
An Associated Press photographer said he counted 12 bodies in two cars that were destroyed by the attack shortly after midday (0900GMT).
An adviser to Lebanon's health minister put the toll at about 15. Hasan Hutait told Aljazeera that two cars had been directly hit by Israeli fire.
The deaths brought the toll in Israel's offensive in Lebanon to 79, Hutait said, adding that a total of 250 have been wounded.
Hours earlier,
Israeli forces across the border told villagers by loudspeaker to leave the area or else the village would be destroyed
. They did not give a reason for the ultimatum.
"Israeli forces threatened us on Saturday at 8 am to destroy our town if we do not evacuate it," Akram Ghannam, a resident of Marwahin, told Aljazeera on Saturday.

BENGKULU, INDONESIA - Israeli warplanes attacked a shoe factory in the Indonesian city of Bengkulu early Friday, destroying two buildings and setting a third ablaze. Thirteen deaths were reported and twenty-three more were wounded.
"It's well-known that terrorist groups operate in Indonesia," Israeli Defence Minister Amir Peretz said, "The factory targeted had supplied shoes worn by terrorists to attack Israel."
Defence Minister Amir Peretz announced that Israel intended to "destroy any elements which aid terrorists." He suggested this could extend to attacks against Indonesia's transportation system, as well as it's fishing industry. "Seafood is one of the primary sources of food eaten by Indonesian terrorist groups who transport shoes used in attacks against Israel."
Meanwhile, the United States blocked a U.N. resolution that would have demanded Israel halt its military offensive, saying that the resolution failed to hold Indonesia's shoe-manufacturing industry to account. U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said the resolution was unacceptable because it was "unbalanced."
In other violence, an Israeli civilian was wounded by shrapnel from a rocket launched against the Israeli city of Safed. "The doctor said I might require stitches," said 59-year-old Ben Gillerman. "It is really tramatizing." Gillerman's pet dog, Fluffy, has also been missing since the attack. In addition, 267 civilians were killed in Israeli attacks across Lebanon.
President Bush strongly defended Israel's attacks, saying "Israel has a right to defend herself." When asked whether Israel's attacks could lead to wider conflict, he added, "Israel... has... a right to defend herself."

This has been a really crazy week and I'm not quite sure where to begin, but it deserves an update.
I guess it all started when, upon returning to Damascus last Sunday, I called up Salam, who I met at a demonstration about a month earlier. He's Palestinian, communist, and a really great guy: very open-minded, diplomatic, patient, understanding, and kind. We hung out a lot over the next couple days, talking politics and watching documentaries, often along with Nate (optimussven), who was witness to much of the craziness that went on this week.
The day before my birthday I was sitting in a cafe eating breakfast and started chatting with four tourism students, whom upon discovering it was my birthday insisted on throwing me a party a couple days later. One of them, named Media, was an incredibly cute Kurdish girl from Hassake. Later in the day when I was hanging out with Salam, I mentioned this to him, and he actually knew Media. She, too, was communist and joined him at many demonstrations.
Also that day, I went to a performance with Salam and met a friend of his named Hazem, a graduate in performing arts. Hazem and I have hung out together basically everyday since. He's Alawite, from the mountains outside of Tartus, and is also a great guy. He's become like my bestfriend in the span of 5 or 6 days, helping me find a room to rent, introducing me to countless people, and really keeping me inspired about staying in Syria and pursuing the various projects I want to work on here.
The day after my birthday, when the tourism students threw their party for me, Salam showed up and surprised Media. I had told Salam I was interested in her, and he arranged for us all to hang out the next evening. I'm generally pretty shy and reserved, but Hazem and Salam encouraged me to talk to her all night. It seems like I might have made some progress, but I've yet to find out if she's interested in me. She's really adorable; her conversational English isn't very good, but she's memorized information about dozens of historical sites throughout Syria in English for her studies (to become a tour guide). So, while she can detail the history of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus in English, it might be a little bit challenging to get to know each other. She's suggested she'd teach me Arabic, and I've offered to help her with her English, but I don't know how serious she is. But I'm hoping.
Then in the last 3 or 4 days I've been hanging out with Hazem at the high institute of fine arts, where I've met countless people who all seem to share common characteristics in that they are not Sunni Muslim Syrians (who make up about 75% of Syria's population). It seems they are all Druze, Alawite, Ismaeli, Christian, Palestinian or Kurdish. If asked where they're from, the answer is almost always someplace like Misyaf (Ismaeli), Salamiyeh (Ismaeli), Suweida (Druze), Palestine, or some obscure Christian or Alawite village in the coastal mountains. I've met a girl from Deir ez-Zor (a nearly 99% Sunni city near Iraq), but she's Syriac Christian. Quite strange, I think, but it's interesting to meet more people from these minorities, and they're generally among the more open-minded portion of Syrian society. And being art students they're also all a little crazy, it seems. They're a lot of fun to hang out with.
Apparently a couple of the girls whom Hazem and I have been hanging out with lately have been expressing interest in me, which is something new for me. Basically the entire day yesterday was spent with Hazem and Dima, the Christian girl from Deir ez-Zor. She's really confident, loud, and aggressive, perhaps typical of people from Deir ez-Zor, and I found her rather intimidating at first. But, the more time we spent together, I started to like her a great deal. She's really beautiful, with amazing black eyes and a perfect smile. Her character is really unique, I've never met anyone quite like her. She's very clever, too. Apparently she took quite a liking to me, though I think I might have ruined any chances when at the end of the night she dragged me to a nightclub (and paid the ridiculous cover charge) where I refused to dance with her (I don't dance, at all, with anyone, ever, period. And I don't drink, and I generally hate places where there is pressure to be fashionable, so nightclubs generally aren't my favorite places.).
Oh, also I found a room near Bab Sharqi, the eastern end of the old city, for 3,500 Syrian pounds (about US$65) per month. It is basically the size of a closet, but it is enough for me. I'm moving in today.
I'm not sure how I feel right now. I'm confused, mostly. This week has been exciting, fun, different. I've met so many people, I seem to have a few very cute girls expressing interest in me, and I have invitations to stay with people around basically the entire country (since few of my new friends are actually from Damascus), and I have my own place now. That all this has happened in the space of 1 week has been a bit overwhelming, considering I'd spent over 7 months in Syria (combined) and hadn't ever had such luck in meeting so many people I actually enjoy hanging out with and can relate to. I've paid for 3 months rent for this room, so I guess I'll be in Damascus for awhile. And, if things remain this interesting I'll probably stick around much longer than that.

in Beirut now, staying with Razan in Achrifieh... relationship potential seems to have reached a dead end, unfortunately... though not for any of the reasons I ever expected (nothing to do with any religious, cultural, traditional differences whatsoever)... but, we can still be close friends, I think... back to searching for my Arab princess, I guess...
watched the Danish consulate burn (and an entire office building along with it) a few days ago... was quite surprised how freely I was allowed to wander around taking pictures of soldiers and the burning building... but naturally, the Lebanese have found ways to blame Syria and Palestinians for the whole event.
visited Harari's tomb/shrine thing... 6 days until the one year anniversary, which could prove to be an interesting day. I also took a peek at the site where the bomb went off... wow, that was a fucking serious explosion.
also visited Edward Said's grave in Broumana... which to me evoked far more emotion than Harari's, really.
spent a couple weeks between Hama, Lattakia, and Aleppo... ended up becoming a tour guide to this cool Brazilian traveler I met in Damascus, and I took him to Afamea, Qala'at Marqab, Safita, Hosn Suleiman, Amrit, Qala'at Salahaddin, etc... made some Syrian friends here and there, but nothing substantial...
weather has been quite good... it has been split between rainy days and sunny days, but the temperatures in Damascus averaged around 10-15C... it was actually warm in Beirut until today. I still haven't seen any snow aside from up on the Lebanese mountain ranges... :P
still, I'm looking forward to the spring.
as far as my budget... after splurging a bit the first month of travel, I'm being more conservative and seem to be getting back into the range of $300/month. I think I'll be able to stretch my funds a full 18 months if I continue this.
my Arabic vocabulary hasn't really improved much, but I pretty much have the alphabet down and my handwriting is legible now.
I'm going to be putting together an online travel guide to Syria and Lebanon, with more details on the overlooked/obscure archaeological sites (basically everything in "Monuments of Syria" plus a few others)... though I'm saving most of the work for the spring, when it will be more pleasant (and better for photography) to travel.
that's it for now... I'll be in Beirut for a few weeks.

so, coca-cola and pepsi have finally managed to launch a full scale invasion on syria... bummer.
it's a bit odd, too, since the promotion of nationalism is certainly at a height right now. syrian flags are 10 times more prominent than last time i was here. roughly every other shop and house is decorated with syrian flags. there are also a lot of political banners praising the president and calling for national unity and such. a lot of them are in french and/or english, too.
my camera is doing wonders. i love this thing. it is especially awesome in low-light situations, i've already got some stunning shots around souq hamadiyeh, which was a pain to photograph with film.
and, most importantly... i'm falling in love. i think we're perfect for each other. i'm such a lucky guy, and i'm so excited about our future together.
i love the direction our relationship is taking. we're already discussing all sorts of projects we want to work on together, mostly along the lines of a photojournalism blog collaboration. we've come up with a few concepts of articles to write together, and i'll handle the photography and she'll put together arabic translations.
she also has made some filmmaker friends in lebanon who have offered to help her make a documentary. she has a few ideas, mostly regarding syrian-lebanese relations. i think that will be a lot of fun to work on with her.
i think one of the reasons our relationship will be so amazing is that we have such similar ideas, views, goals, perspectives... and yet we came to them from a completely different set of experiences. there is so much for us to share with each other, so much we can learn from each other.
anyway, i only came online to get a phone number for someone... but i figured i'd post an update. more to come later.

I missed this place so, so much. It's so great being back. And I haven't even set foot in the old city yet, I've just been visiting with all my friends in Sarouja. I love these people... they're so wonderful.
I have a date with Razan tonight, we'll go to Qasr Nargus for dinner and wander around the old city together. :)
I realized I could never live in a city that gets as cold as Amsterdam does. I was only able to bare the cold for about 3 hours, then decided to go back and wait in the airport.
Beirut... I actually missed it, too. Didn't realize that until landing there, but I'm looking forward to spending more time there. Funny how well I remembered the city. Razan arranged for a friend to pick me up at the airport and take me to stay at her flat in Achrifieh (where nobody is staying at the moment), and I already knew the neighborhood...
Oh, and the mukhabarat still have an interest in me, apparently. I have to pay them another visit.
Anyway, I only signed on to e-mail my father and let him know I'm alive... I'm supposed to be avoiding these net cafes! :)

less than one week to go... :)
i'm excited. flying to beirut after a stopover to wander around amsterdam, and then heading straight to damascus... going to stay in damascus through new years, then probably go back to beirut to stay with razan... and see if i can have a successful relationship with a syrian girl. ;)
then i'll probably go back to syria in the beginning of march for a couple of months to travel around, visit all the sites, take lots of photos, etc... and back and forth between syria and lebanon as long as i can pull it off! maybe egypt next winter. maybe jordan and palestine the following spring. depends on how good i am with my money. *shrug*
after a rather shitty november, the last couple of weeks have been quite pleasant, my plans have been coming together nicely... i'm happy. the future is looking good.

James Ponsoldt to Adapt YA Novel PURE for Fox 2000
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Ponsoldt, whose film SPECTACULAR NOW is set to premiere at Sundance this year, has been hired to adapt the young adult trilogy PURE for Fox 2000. Karen Rosenfelt is producing.
Ponsoldt is prepped to write the script and will also direct.
The book, written by Julianna Baggott, is officially described as:
"Pressia barely remembers the Detonations or much about life during the Before. In her sleeping cabinet behind the rubble of an old barbershop where she lives with her grandfather, she thinks about what is lost--how the world went from amusement parks, movie theaters, birthday parties, fathers and mothers . . . to ash and dust, scars, permanent burns, and fused, damaged bodies. And now, at an age when everyone is required to turn themselves over to the militia to either be trained as a soldier or, if they are too damaged and weak, to be used as live targets, Pressia can no longer pretend to be small. Pressia is on the run.
There are those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked: Pures. They are tucked safely inside the Dome that protects their healthy, superior bodies. Yet Partridge, whose father is one of the most influential men in the Dome, feels isolated and lonely. Different. He thinks about loss--maybe just because his family is broken; his father is emotionally distant; his brother killed himself; and his mother never made it inside their shelter. Or maybe it's his claustrophobia: his feeling that this Dome has become a swaddling of intensely rigid order. So when a slipped phrase suggests his mother might still be alive, Partridge risks his life to leave the Dome to find her.
When Pressia meets Partridge, their worlds shatter all over again."
PURE is the first in the planned trilogy; the second installment, FUSE, will be published on Feb. 19.
THE SPECtACULAR NOW follows Sutter, a High School senior who lives for the moment; Aimee is the introvert he attempts to "save." As their relationship deepens, the lines between right and wrong, friendship and love, and "saving" and corrupting become inextricably blurred. Cast: Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley, Brie Larson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kyle Chandler.

Late Late Capital Bootleg Sessions
Gil Ott's "The Forgotten" on PoemTalk
Jenn McCreary, Pattie McCarthy & I give a close-but-not-too-close reading of Gil Ott's piece, entitled "The Forgotten." We discuss the workings of the poem, and, as Al Filreis says- "the lasting effects of Gil Ott's community work in the beyond-academic world of arts organizations; in the local small-press publishing world; in the network of advocacy for people with disabilities — and on the ways in which his interlocking commitments can be read in the poems.
You can listen here.
LIFE IS TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING is my new chapbook from Horse Less Press. The piece was composed in/during/through Jeremy Deller's JOY IN PEOPLE exhibition at the Philadelphia ICA. You can order this limited edition here.
Might Writers West Writes Their Block
The Write Your Block workshops wrapped up this week at Mighty Writers West. There were four wonderful sessions with great kids that were anything but predictable. West Philly's kids exceeded my imagination, and I'll miss our meetings from hereon in. Look for their poems soon on the WYB site.
THE CITY REAL & IMAGINED Now Available Through Factory School Books
The City Real & Imagined is a collaborative project with CAConrad that re-writes a City of Otherly Love. It's now available directly from the book's publisher at Factory School Books, as part of the Heretical Texts Series (vol.5.)
You can order the book here.
Erica Kaufman says:
Too often we forget about the "human" in human geography. This book emends us that every city is a peopled space. As Carl Sauer writes in his "Foreword to Historical Geography," "We know that habitat must be referred to habit, that habit is the activated learning common to a group, and that it may be endlessly subject to change." What Conrad and Sherlock really enliven in their book is this sense of "activated" or "active learning" that is (and should be) "endlessly subject to change." Cities change. Places change. "Oh bondage up/ yours. We echo this in different languages."
WHYY Friday Arts
WHYY Friday Arts features Soledad Alfaro-Allah & me as Philadelphia's Poet Laureates. We talk about our relationship to the word, the city & ourselves. Our segment begins at 10:30.
Serhiy Zhadan & Me at Vox Populi
A year ago, I spoke at a Ukrainian rally at Independence Hall protesting the Russian occupation of Crimea. I was asked to read from Taras Shevchenko's Testament on the occasion of his 200th birthday- an event that was billed as POETRY AGAINST WAR. I was humbled by the people's appreciation and commitment to poetry as a vital art form. While reading at the event, I surprised the crowd with a poem from today's premier counterculture poet in Ukraine- Serhiy Zhadan. When I mentioned his name, there was a buzz of excitement through the crowd.
I read his poem Lukoil, which made sense in that political moment. I got to the lines "Bitches," they all say, "bitches/ he'll need bitches, good bitches/ expensive ones, without bad habits…" and I look up to see a busload of priests and nuns with their arms folded, looking at me with stern disapproval. But the young people loved it. As the poem ended, the crowd chanted "Boycott Lukoil! Boycott Lukoil!
As I moved through the rally, I was approached by Mark Andryczyk. He told me he was a good friend of Serhiy's, and let me know that Zhadan will be happy to hear I shared his work at a rally so far away.
Almost a year to the date, I was overjoyed to discover that Serhiy wanted to visit Philadelphia to read with me. I saw familiar faces from the Ukrainian community at Vox Populi, thanks to the curatorial generosity of Anthony Romero. Zhadan's work was engaging, moving and powerful. Readers of his work in English included Anthony, Mary Kalyna, Alina Pleskova, Jenn McCreary & Ryan Eckes. It was one of those unforgettable nights that reminds us what we knew all along. Poetry matters.
Serhiy Zhadan's poetry has been translated into English, but a book has yet to be published. Let's change that!
Samuel Delany Day
I was honored to give a toast to a polymathic master recently- the great Samuel Delany. Thanks so much to Tracie Morris for including my tribute in Jacket2's The Motion of Light: Celebrating Samuel Delany.
