Sometimes it feels like I've opened the Daily Star archives when I go to the site. The headlines have been the same for months now (no fault of Daily Star's!) Cabinet formation awaits further Hariri-Aoun talks. What's the over-under on DS using that exact headline a month or two ago? Deja vu! Or what about Cabinet formation remains in deadlock following fruitless negotiations? Been there, done that.
The opposition is restless in Beirut? Just the opposition?
Snorkels are our future. No, not these Snorkels.
Oktoberfest in Zouk with no German beer. Lebanese really should fight to overturn the beer monopoly Heineken has in the country. Almaza's ok but where's the choice? Where's the stout? The porter? The weissbier? The ale? The giant liter of Hoffbrau for Oktoberfest?
Famed Belgian comic speaks in Beirut.
A rare victory for Lebanon's Palestinians. Interesting read from the Director of the Sabra Shatila Foundation.
The world's first live YouTube concert - and it was my favorite band ever.
New post by Cafe Thawra.
Archewallogoy. Very cool.
H20, Lebanese style? "...how awesome would it be to have luxury ski slopes made from frozen Bling water - and we could call it H2Cold™. I can't possibly ski on regular rain water, my Gucci skis are not fit for that."
Beirut 39 final selection. With weird photo grid of all the authors.
More links.
Hezbollah promoting Western values? Perhaps that's why they have that capitalist souvenir stand at the entrance to the Baalbek ruins?
The motorcycle ban is a bloody crime. Don't get me wrong - I'm a fan of like twenty Ziad Baroud Facebook pages. But...
"Freeze! I will shoot you!" Awesome photo.
I ask why? Because Lebanon has solved all of its problems? Oh, I get it - it's a peacebuilding/unity exercise, right? Right? Oh, wait, no - it's one-up manship on the Israelis. OMGLOL. Well, hey, it's better than bombs.

Today is blog about climate change day
Science has yet to find a way to physically transport humans back in time, but that doesn't mean there aren't scientific ways to learn about the past. Indeed, what we are learning from the past will directly affect our future. Ice core samples in Antarctica allow us to see hundreds of thousands of years into the past and may be the key to our survival as a species.
Scientists have analyzed these ice core samples and concluded that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has never been as high as it has been since we began the Industrial Revolution. 100% of peer reviewed articles by climate scientists show us the Earth's atmosphere is heating up. Given that, it's tough to believe there are people out there fighting against efforts to combat climate change.
But there are.
That's why it is up to those of us who don't "believe in" science but understand it to be reality must do all we can to teach the world the facts about climate change. This Blog Action Day is one small thing each of us can do to promote awareness. Individual blogs all over the world may be quiet voices, but taken together they are a loud shout telling global citizens that it is up to all of us to take action against this threat to our species.

Don't be stupid!
Join IndyAct on the 25th and 26th of October in Cinema Metropolis Empire Sofil at 6 pm for a public viewing of the climate change film "The Age of Stupid."
The Age of Stupid is a 90-minute film about climate change, set in the future. Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off) stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking back at footage from 2007 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?
Confirm your attendance on Facebook here, or just show up to the theater. And don't forget to visit IndyAct.org to see all of the great things they are doing to combat climate change.
