DALI OVA navistina E TOA?
by Barbora Misakova


Ponekogaš si se prašuvam: koj e pogolem jadnik – lugjeto od šou-bizinost ili običnite lugje što živeat nadvor od nego? Sé povekje veruvam deka i dvete grupi sme nekoj vid zatvorenici na ovoj svet koj trča po „pari i senzacija“. Postojat mnogu primeri kako lugje se obiduvaat da iscedat pari od popularnosta i kolku očajni se za da ja dobijat. Denes možeme da vidime drug model. I negovoto ime bi moželo da se razbere kako nekoj vid ironija. Filmot „Ova e toa“ e ona što pokojniot Majkl Dzekson go ostavi. Povekje od 100 časa snimen materijal od „Ova e toa“ pravi povekje od ! eden koncerten film i povekje od eden dokumentarec. Toj raskažuva prikazna za eden od najgolemite muzičari što nekogaš živeele, no i za silata na čovečkiot duh, za talentot i isto taska za napadite i bolkata. Kral na popot beše imanuvan so pravo, no koj bi možel da pomisli deka ednostavno ime na šou bi moželo da pokaže isto taka i nešto drugo – lud šou-biznis. „Ova e toa“ trebaše da bide za Majkl i za negoviot život i rabota. No, „Soni“, koj plati 60 milioni dolari za pravata na filmot ednostavno se plaši da pomisli kolku ušte pari kje zaraboti. Mi se loši od postojanata sporedba so najgolemite kinohitovi kako „Proektot Bler Vič“ ili „Farenhajt 9/11“. Toa provocira povekje prašanja. Kon što se stremi ovoj svet? Što ní e považno? Za kolku bi go prodale spomenot na pokojnikot? Dali sé se presm! etuva samo preku parite? DALI OVA e navistina TOA?

Mediumiute go gubat kredibilitetot
by Claudia Sonea


Možeme li da im veruvame na mediumite? Odgovorot, sekako e, NE. Kako bi možel nekoj da veruva vo mediumite koi poskoro širat lažni vesti, otkolku da gi proverat faktite? Iako živeeme mnogu brzo, sé ušte ni treba blagovremenost i novinskite organizacii se sé ušte vitalni kako što né izvestuvaat so toa što se slučuva so svetot i okolu nas. Bez razlika dali živeete vo SAD ili vo Romanija, kredibilitetot na vestite seriozno opagja kako što sé povekje neprovereni novinarski prikazni ili duri i netočni prikazni se prenesuvaat, bez da bidat provereni i so prepravanjeto deka se avtentičn! i. Poglednete samo na godinašnite lagi što gi prikažaa amerikanskite televiziski mreži: eksplozija na meteorit, dete vo balon koj leta nad Kolorado, teroristički napad na rekata Potomak. Se čini deka povekje od 63 procenti od Amerikancite ne im veruvaat na novinarskite prikazni. CNN, Foks Njuz Čenel i MSNBC se megju vrvnite amerikanski mreži, no tie se isto taka i megju najnesigurnite, zatoa što tie bez da se dvoumat bi ja žrtvuvale preciznosta zaradi brzina, zatoa što sé se vrti okolu toa koja mreža kje bide prvata da ja prezentira prikaznata.

Najlepší rýchly nápad na halloweensky kostým
by Magdalena Rosova


Máte už pripravené halloweenske kostýmy pre vaše deti? Ak nie, máme pre vás jednoduchý nápad, ako si ich môžete sami vyrobiť. Tento kostým účasť viacerých členov rodiny. Prvá osoba, ktorá použije tento nápad a pošlo fotografiu ako dôkaz na mailovú adresu phartlaub@sfchronicle.com získa cenu. Kostým je vytvorený na motív seriálu Mad Men, takže ak tento seriál nesledujete, nedá vám to zmysel. Ľudia, ktorí tento seriál nepoznajú si budú pravdepodobne myslieť, že vaše! deti vyzerajú ako vagabud a cigánka a otec sa obliekol na Halloween akosi príliš pekne. Avšak tí, ktorí seriál poznajú sa budú s určitosťou smiať až do prasknutia a na ďalší deň o tom budú rozprávať kolegom v práci. Tu sú inštrukcie na výrobu kostýmu: Jedno dieťa sa oblečie za cigánku a druhé za vagabunda. Určite nájdete vhodné oblečenie aj u vás doma. Zapametajte si, že cigánga musí stáť na ľavej strane tvárou k dverám, keď deti stlačia zvonček na dverách. Matka si učeše vlasy na spôsob Betty Draper a vezme si čierne rukavice a tmavý kabát. V rukách nesie niečo vyzerajúce ako bábätko zabalené v bielej prikrývke. Stojí na pravej strane za deťmi. Keďže je ! to Betty Draper, nesmie sa k deťom správať l! 25;skavo . Otec sa musí správať ako Don Draper, to je kľúč k úspechu tejto malej scénky. Oblečie si najkrajší tmavý kostým, úzku kravatu, plstený klobúk a vezme si skutočné alebo umelé cigarety. Najdôležitejšie je, aby stál ďalej od dverí a vyzeral znechutene, tak ako je to typické Don Draper. Ak chcete, aby scénka vyzerala pôsobivejšie, vozte sa od jedného domu v starom Cadillacu. Veľa šťastia.

The best last-minute Halloween costume idea
by Magdalena Rosova


Do you already have a costume for your child for the first round of Super-Crafty Halloween Costume Contest III which is going to be tomorrow morning? If not, here are a good idea of how to make costumes on your own. This costume needs more members of your family to get involved. The first person who successfully replicates this idea and sends photo as a proof to phartlaub@sfchronicle.com will receive price. The costume is inspired by Mad Men, so if you do not watch the show the costume will not make sense for you. People who do not know the show will probably think your children are a hobo and gypsy and that father is dressed a too nice for Halloween. But those who wat! ch the show will definitely laugh and laugh. Here are instruction how to make the costumes: 1. One child needs to be dressed as a gypsy and another as a hobo. You can surely find something useful and appropriate in your house. Remember, the gypsy needs to stand on the left side facing the door when children press the doorbell. 2. Mother does her hair like Betty Draper and she takes black gloves and coat and carries something looking as a baby wrapped in a white blanket. She stands behind the children on the right side. As Betty Draper she cannot make a loving gesture toward her kids. 3. Father needs to act like Don Draper, it is the key to the success of this whole drama. He wears the nicest dark suit, thin tie, fedora and real or fake cigarettes. Most important is to stand away from the doorway with the annoyed look, so typical for Don Draper. If you want to make it more impressive, drive from house to house in an old Cadillac.

IS THIS really IT?
by Barbora Misakova


Občas sa pýtam sama seba: kto je väčší úbožiak: ľudia zo show biznisu alebo obyčajní smrteľníci žijúci mimo neho? Čoraz viac však začínam veriť tomu, že ľudia z oboch strán rieky sú rovnakými väzňami tohto sveta, ktorý neustále naháňa prachy a senzácie. Existuje už nemalé množstvo príkladov toho, ako sa ľudia snažili vydolovať peniaze a slávu a akí zúfalí v tejto snahe boli. A dnes môžeme vidieť ďalší príklad. Názov, ktor&#! 253; projekt dostal ešte od svojho zakladateľa a autora by sa dnes mohol chápať viac ako ironicky. Film „This is it“ je to posledné čo nám po sebe zanechal zosnulý Michael Jackson. Viac ako 100 hodín záberov z pripravovanej koncertnej show robí z „This is it“ viac ako len koncertný či dokumentárny film. Je to v prvom rade príbeh. Príbeh o jednom z najväčších hudobníkov, ktorý kedy žil, no tiež príbeh o sile ľudského ducha, o talente no tiež ranách a bolesti. Kráľ popu, ako sa dodnes Michael právom označuje, dal svojej show trefný názov, no kto by si bol kedy pomyslel, že bude ukazovať aj na čosi iné: na skazený a šialený svet show biznisu. „This is it“ mal byť o Michaelovi a jeho životnom diele. Avšak spoločnos&#! 357; Sony, ktorá zaplatila 60 miliónov dolárov ! za pr 25;va k filmu sa už nevie dočkať toho, koľko tento film ešte len zarobí! Z neustáleho porovnávania s najväčšími kino hitmi ako boli „The Blair Witch Project“ či „Fahrenheit 9/11“ mi je zle a vyvoláva to vo mne oveľa vážnejšie otázky. Kam vôbec tento svet speje? Čo je pre nás ešte vôbec dôležité a cenné? Za koľko sme schopní predať spomienku na zosnulého človeka? Je dnes naozaj všetko spočítateľné cez peniaze? JE TOTO skutočne ONO?

IS THIS really IT?
by Barbora Misakova


Sometimes I am asking myself: who is the bigger wretch – people from show biz or just ordinary people living out of it? Still more and more I believe that we both are some kind of prisoners of this “money & sensation” chasing world. There is plenty of examples how people tried to extract money or popularity and how much desperate they were to get it. Today we can see another model. And the name of it could be understood also as some kind of irony. Movie “This is it” is what deceased Michael Jackson left here. More than 100 hours of footage makes from “This is it” more than just a concert film and more than just a documentary. It say! s a story about the one of the biggest musicians ever lived, but also about the strength of human spirit, about talent and also about strikes and pain. King of Pop named it rightly, but who could ever think, that simple name of a show could point also on something else: insane show business. “This is it” should have been about Michael and his life work. But Sony which paid $60 million for the film rights just tremble to think how much money it will earn yet. Constant comparing with the biggest theater hits such as “The Blair Witch Project” or “Fahrenheit 9/11” makes me sick and evoke more serious questions. What is this world heading for? What is more important for us? For how much would we sell the memory of the deceased? Is everything countable only through money? IS THIS really IT?

Mass-Media isi pierde credibilitatea
by Claudia Sonea


Putem avea incredere in mass-media? Raspunsul este mai mult ca sigur "NU". Cum ar putea cineva crede intr-o mass-media care mai degraba ar raspandi stiri false decat sa verifice faptele? Desi traim viata in viteza, avem inca nevoie de acuratete si organizatiile de stiri sunt inca vitale, deoarece ne pun la curent cu ceea ce se intampla in intreaga lume si in jurul nostru. Fie ca sunteti traiesc in SUA sau in Romania, credibilitatea stirilor a scazut drastic datorita faptului ca tot mai multe stiri inexacte sau chiar neadevarate sunt difuzate, fara a fi verificate si cu pretentia de a fi autentice. Sa aruncam o privire la f! arsele din acest an pe care retelele de televiziune din le-au difuzat: o explozie de meteorit, un copil intr-un balon zburand deasupra Colorado-ului, un atac terorist pe Raul Potomac. In aceste conditii nu e surprinzator ca mai mult de 63 la suta din americani nu au incredere in stiri. CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC se numara printre retelele de top din SUA, dar ele sunt, de asemenea, printre cele mai putin fiabile, deoarece ar sacrifica fara sa ezite precizia in favoarea vitezei, pentru ca totul se invarte in jurul intaietatii in transmiterea de stiri. Cu toate acestea, nu sunt de vina doar organizatiile de stiri, pentru ca exista unii oameni care dedica timp si bani in raspandirea de zvonuri false sau povestiri legate de diferite teme, in special in ceea ce priveste povesti despre celebritati precum politicieni, cantareti, actori. Stiri false sunt create pe Internet si raspandit prin intermediul internetului, o sursa periculoasa de informatii pe! ntru ca oricine poate publica orice fara sa-si asume vreo resp! onsabili tate. In ciuda nemultumirii fata de inexactitatea stirilor, oamenii sunt atrasi de acestea dupa cum o demonstreaza si faptul ca audienta creste de fiecare data cand o farsa este difuzat sau raspandita prin intermediul presei scrise ca presa de scandal. Cine este mai mult de vina, mass-media pentru ca nu se asigura ca povestea este adevarata sau noi pentru ca sustinem acest comportament? Nu plecati, va urma ...

Media loses credibility
by Claudia Sonea


Can we trust the media? The answer is most certainly “NO”. How could anyone believe in a media that would rather spread false news, rather than check the facts? Although we live life in the fast lane, we still need accuracy and the news organizations are still vital as they put us up to date with what happens around the world and around us. Whether you are living in US or in Romania, the credibility of news has decreased severely as more and more inaccurate news stories or even untrue stories are broadcasted without being verified and with the pretence of being authentic. Just take a look at this year hoaxes that! US TV networks broadcasted: a meteorite explosion, a child in a balloon racing across the Colorado, a terrorist attack on the Potomac River. As it is, more than 63 percent of Americans don’t trust news stories. CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC are among the top US networks, but they are also among the most unreliable as they would without hesitation sacrifice accuracy in favour of speed, because everything revolves around which network will be the first to present the story. Nonetheless, the news organizations are not the solely to blame as people nowadays dedicate time and money in spreading false rumours or stories related to various subjects, especially stories concerning celebrities like politicians, singers, actors. The false news are created on the Internet and spread through the Internet, a dangerous source of information as anyone can publish anything without assuming any responsibility. In spite of complaining about the inaccuracy! of news stories, people are attracted by them and the fact th! at the a udience increases every time a hoax is broadcasted or spread through the written press like tabloids. Who is more to blame, the media for not making sure the story is true or us for supporting this behaviour? Don’t go away, more to come…

Obama povtorno napagja
by Claudia Sonea


Razbudi se Ameriko, vreme e da vidiš kogo izbra! Ovaa godina trebaše da bide godinata na slava na pretsedatelot Barak Obama, sepak, toj ne uspea da se vozdigne do sečiite očekuvanja. Namesto da go kompenzira negoviot nedostatok na mokj za da ostvari barem nekoe od negovite vetuvanja, toj donesuva pogrešni odluki i prifakja nagradi što ne gi zaslužuva. Kje bide li prifatena ovaa fraza kako deklaracija za vojnata od Belata Kukja? Kako što se zgolemuva brojot na glasovite protiv administracijata na Obama, Belata Kukja se čini deka e omilenata meta za mnogu napadi, osobeno tie što doagjaat od mediumite. Kako i da e, ne e gre#! 3;ka na mediumite što tie ne se nekompetenti i ne uspeaja da se soočat so negovite očekuvanja. Obično očekuvate lagi, ozboruvanja, netočni informacii što doagjaat od mediumite, no ovoj pat toa što go iznesuvaat vo javnosta e očigledno za pretsedatelot i negovite vraboteni. Kako rezultat na faktot deka SAD se poznati po pravoto na mislenje, bi očekuvale deka Belata Kukja bi gi prifatila kritikite i bi se obidela da gi napravi rabotite dobro ili da se broi diplomatski so kritikata, sepak situacijata e kompletno različna. "Foks Čanel Njuz", edna od najvrvnite etablirani mreži, se čini deka e vo vojna so Belata Kukja zatoa što se osmeli da gi pretstavi mislenjata koi vo suština se bazirani na vistinski fakti, kako demontraciite poradi zdravstvenata zaštita preku letoto ili kontraverziite povrzani so funkcionerot od poranešnata administracija Ven Dzons i aktivistite na AKORN. Ne samo #! 3;to e apsurdno deka pravoto na mislenje e ignorirano, no isto! taka e skandalozno deka administracija koja bi trebalo da investira vreme i napori za da ja izvadi zemjata od recesija, sepak naogja vreme za da objasnuva argumenti so presot. Selo gori - baba se češla. Gospodine Pretsedatel, što kje pravite? Dosega, ne se snajdovte da napravite nešto izvonredno, nitu pak uspeavte da gi ispolnite vašite vetuvanja. Mediumite Ve dovedoa kade što ste denes i svrtuvanjeto sproti niv, samo kje Ve odvede do vašiot pad. So srekja!

Obama loveste din nou
by Claudia Sonea


Trezeste-te SUA, este timpul sa vezi pe cine ai ales! Anul acest ar fi trebuit sa fi fost anul de glorie al Presedintelui Barack Obama, dar acesta nu a reusit sa se ridice la inaltimea asteptarilor tuturor. Pentru a compensa lipsa de putere in a realiza cel putin o parte din promisiunile sale, el ia decizii gresite si accepta premii pe care nu le merita. Aceasta fraza ar putea fi luata ca o declaratie de razboi de catre Casa Alba? Deoarece exista un oprobiu tot mai mare fata de administratia Obama, Casa Alba pare sa fie tinta favorita pentru atacurile multora, in special provenind din mass-media. Cu toate acestea, nu este v! ina mass-media ca sunt incompetenti si nu reusesc sa raspunda cerintelor. De obicei te astepti la minciuni, zvonuri, informatii care induc in eroare provenite din mass-media, dar de data aceasta ei nu fac deca sa arate ceea ce era deja evident presedinte si angajatii sai. Datorita faptului ca SUA este faimoasa pentru dreptul la opinie, v-ati astepta din partea Casei Albe sa accepte criticile si sa incerce sa indrepte lucrurile sau sa le combata diplomatic, dar situatia nu este deloc asa. Fox News Channel, una din retelele de televiziune prin cablu de top, pare a fi in razboi cu Casa Alba pentru ca a indraznit sa prezente stiri care au fost efectiv bazate pe fapte reale, cum ar fi demonstratiile de sanatate de peste vara sau controversele din jurul fostului administrator oficial Van Jones si activistii comunitatii ACORN. Nu este doar absurd ca dreptul la o opinie se ignora cu desavarsire, dar este, de asemenea, scandalos ca o administratie care ar trebu! i sa investeasca timp si efort in salvarea tarii de la recesiu! ne, cont inua sa piarda timp pretios angajandu-se in dispute marunte cu presa. Tara arde si baba se piaptana. Domnule Presedinte, ce ai de gand sa faci? Pana acum, nu ati reusit sa infaptuiti nimic remarcabil, nici nu aveti succes in indeplinirea promisiunilor dumneavoastra. Mass-media v-a adus pe culmile pe care va aflati astazi si acum va intoarceti impotriva ei, insa asta va duce numai la caderea dumneavoastra. Succes!

Obama strikes again
by Claudia Sonea


Wake up US, it’s time to see who you elected! This year should have been the year of glory for President Barack Obama, yet he failed to rise up to everyone's expectations. In order to compensate his lack of power to accomplish at least some of his promises, he takes wrong decisions and accepts prizes that he doesn’t deserve. Would this phrase be taken up as a declaration of war by the White House? As there are voices rising against the Obama administration, the White House seems to be the favourite target for many attacks, especially coming from the media. However, it is not the media’s fault that they are incomp! etent and fail to meet expectations. Usually you expect lies, rumours, misleading information coming from the media, but this time what they are only pointing out the obvious about the president and his employees. Due to the fact that US is famous for the right to an opinion, you would expect the White House to accept the critics and try to make things right or to combat diplomatically the critics, yet the situation is completely different. Fox Channel News, one of the top-rated cable news networks, seems to be at war with the White House for daring to present opinions which were actually based on true facts like the health care demonstrations over the summer or the controversies surrounding former administration official Van Jones and the community activists ACORN. It is not only preposterous that the right to an opinion is being ignored, but it is also outrageous that an administration that should invest time and effort in getting the country out of ! the recession, still finds time to engage in arguments with th! e press. The country is burning and the old lady is brushing her hair. Mister President, what are you going to do? Until now, you did not manage to do anything outstanding, nor did you succeed in fulfilling your promises. The media brought you where you are today and turning against it, would only lead to your downfall. Good luck!

Nobelova nagrada za literatura za 2009 godina
by Claudia Sonea


Nobelovata nagrada za literatura beše visokoceneta na početokot na nejzinoto osnovanje, no so tek na vreme nejzinata nepristrasnost beše stavana pod lupa. Kriteriumite spored koi edna kniga e izbrana kako pobednik ne se poznati i vo povekjeto slučai se čini deka postoi politička vrska. Zgora na toa, povekjeto od pobednicite se Evropejci, dodeka Švegjanite lično gi dobivaa pogolemiot del od nagradite od sitge aziski državi. Marsel Prust, Dzejms Dzojs, Emil Zola, Mark Tven, Vladimir Nabokov, Horhe Luis Borhes, Dzon Apdajk se samo del od brilijantnite avtori što ne ja dobile nagradata, iako nivnite dela vlijaele na literaturat! a niz cel svet. Pa, kolku relevantni se členovite na komitetot za Nobelova nagrada? Nikoj ne može da kaže sigurno, no sigurno e deka eden od glavnite principi što gi bara natprevarot ne e ispolnet. Členovite na Komitetot ne treba da se natprevaruvaat ili bi bilo apsurdno da se natprevaruvaat i togaš vsušnost i da pobedat, što vo suština se sluči vo 1974 godina. Herta Miler ja dobi Nobelovata nagrada godinava so nejzinite dela za komunističkiot režim vo Romanija. Iako, na Romanija bi trebalo da í pretstavuva čest što nekoj roden i porasnat na nejzinoto tlo ja dobi ovaa pročuena nagrada, bolnata vistina se sostoi vo toa što postojat mnogu drugi pisateli, mnogu podobri od Miler, koi voopšto ne bea zemeni predvid. Plus toa, nagradata se dodeluva za periodot koj povekjeto Romanci ili se obiduvaat da go zaboravat ili sonuvaat da se vrati. Najverojatno faktot deka godinava proslavuvame 20-god! išnina otkako kolabiraše komunizmot, beše eden ! od krite riumite poradi koi Miler beše izbrana. Kakov sram za dobroto ime na Alfred Nobel koj sonuvaše za sovršenstvo, za ideal kon pravednosta i za opštestvo bazirano na zasluga. Kontroverzijata frla oblak duri nad avtori što pobedile i vo suština ja zaslužile nagradata. Sepak, sé što možeme da napravime e da ja prifatime odlukata što švedskiot komitet ja donese i da smetame deka posle sé, ništo ne se promenilo od komunistite navamu. Uživajte!

Premiul Nobel pentru Literatura
by Claudia Sonea


The Nobel Prize in Literature was highly regarded at the beginning, but in time its fairness started to be questioned. The criteria on which a book is elected as the winner are not known and most of the times it seems that there is a political connection. Furthermore, most of the winners are Europeans, while the Sweden themselves received the most prizes from all the other Asian countries. Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Emil Zola, Mark Twain, Vladimir Nabokov, Jorge Luis Borges, John Updike are just some of the brilliant authors who did not receive the prize, although their works influenced literature worldwide. So how reliable ! are the members of the Nobel Prize in Literature committee? No one can tell for sure, but it is certain that one of the main principles that a competition requires is not fulfilled. The members of the committee should not compete or it would be preposterous to compete and then actually win, which in fact happened in 1974. Herta Mueller won this year’s Nobel Prize with her works on the communist regime in Romania. Although, it should be an honour for Romania that someone born and bred on its soil won such an illustrious award, the painful truth is that there are many other writers, far better than Mueller who were not even taken into account. Besides, the prize is given again for a period that most Romanians are either trying to forget, either dream to come back. Most probably the fact that this year we celebrate the 20th anniversary since the communism collapsed was one of the criteria for which Mueller was chosen. Wh! at a disgrace on the good name of Alfred Nobel who aspired to ! perfecti on, to an ideal of fairness and to a merit-based society. The controversy throws a cloud even upon the other authors that won and actually deserved the prize. Yet, all we can do is to accept the decision that the Swedish committee took and consider that after all nothing changed since the communists. Enjoy!
