“Members of the public will be able to watch the inauguration of Burj Dubai on January 4, 2010 from the adjacent Burj Park Island.” – Emaar
The years have gone by pretty quickly! I remember being near that piece of land and watching the constructions as they began turning it into what it is today. I’m looking forward to watch what this building is really like from the inside.
My friend ½ Cream Milk just told me that the Voluntary work center (photography center) are having their 9th exhibition at the avenues mall. I went last year and I enjoyed what I’ve seen. All the photos are taken by members of the center, and my friend contributed 4 of them. Not to be biased, all of their works are great, but I liked my friend’s work the most.
Make sure to pay a visit and see what they have to offer.
Where: In and the avenues phase II near Aïshti and Samsonite.
When: Open from 29th of december to 2nd of january.
A husband who discovers he is HIV positive in 2004, tries twice to inject his wife with his blood, and successfully get her infected, by injecting a needle wit his blood while she’s sleeping, just so she wouldn’t leave him.
The woman felt a sting twice at night, and when she asked him if he had done something he denied it.
The woman is said to have agreed to stay married to him even though he is an HIV positive person for the sake of their children.
I didn’t know they were working on a sequel! I loved the first movie (I was skeptic and didn’t bother to watch it at first, but then when I did, I enjoyed it a lot). Iron Man 2 is to be released on May 7th of 2010 and I look forward to seeing it!
Andry Murray the internationally famous tennis player, ranked 4th in the world, has been dumped by his girlfriend, Kim Sears, and the reason: He plays way too much Playstation! up to seven hours a day.
This was an emotional announcement by Oprah on her show, telling her audience her decision to retire in 2011, on her 25th season into the Oprah Winfrey show.
She won’t be out of the entertainment business though. She plans to launch her own channel on cable TV, and she named it OWN, which stands for Oprah Winfrey Network.
It’s sad to see Oprah go after all these years on tv, and I’m sure it’s a sad day for her fans. But hey, she did good. Real good actually. She gave us the Oprah Winfrey show, and in return The Oprah Winfrey Show gave her $2.3 Billion.
They struck the moon with 2 objects, an empty rocket hull and a spacecraft, and in return they got their proof. Water was found on the moon in large amounts.
I like the image google has up for this event and how the word google is written in water. Creative people. Read some bits I selected from the article here:
Suddenly, the moon looks exciting again. It has lots of water, scientists said Friday — a thrilling discovery that sent a ripple of hope for a future astronaut outpost in a place that has always seemed barren and inhospitable.
Experts have long suspected there was water on the moon. Confirmation came from data churned up by two NASA spacecraft that intentionally slammed into a lunar crater last month.
“Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit. We found a significant amount,” said Anthony Colaprete, lead scientist for the mission, holding up a white water bucket for emphasis.
The lunar crash kicked up at least 25 gallons and that’s only what scientists could see from the plumes of the impact, Colaprete said.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who in 1969 made his historic Apollo 11 moonwalk with Neil Armstrong, was pleased to hear the latest discovery, but still believes the U.S. should focus on colonizing Mars.
“People will overreact to this news and say, `Let’s have a water rush to the moon,’” Aldrin said. “It doesn’t justify that.”
I once was inspected by the Saudi border officials, and was asked to declare whether I had x rated videos on my laptop. I was asked to start up my laptop and show them what kind of videos I had on it. Upon asking the border official what kind of files he was looking for, he responded with “A7na shabab wen3aref ba3ath.” As funny as that may sound now, I wasn’t laughing then, and he was dead serious. Adding to the “maskharaness” of this whole situation, the gentleman didn’t have any clue how to use a Mac. He then went on and asked me to do my own search for nasty videos on my laptop. In my turn, I asked what word he would like me to do a search for, and thats when he finally felt silly, and let me go.
Sout Al-Kuwait is a civic lobby group protecting personal and social freedoms through the activation and preservation of the rights stipulated in the Kuwaiti constitution. The Group meets its target through organized media campaigns, public relations and direct communication with the Parliament member and other State decision makers. Since its establishment, the Group published several booklets and brochures providing simplified review of constitutional rights, their impact and importance, and their conflict with some of the current legislations – (available on www.soutalkuwait.com). Sout Al-Kuwait also participated in several exhibitions, rallies, and carnivals in an attempt to educate the youth about the Constitution articles and relate them to our daily lives. We lead several educational activities in schools, colleges and universities introducing students to concepts like citizenship, human rights, constitutional rights and encouraging their involvement in volunteer civic and social work.
One of our most important events is the celebration of the anniversary of the Constitution of Kuwait which was signed off by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem in November 11, 1962. This year we plan a grand carnival in front of the Kuwait Parliament (Sahat Al Irada). This event will be a collaborative effort by other NGOs and some civic groups. It is a family event filled with activities suitable to all ages and interests. There will be a special area for children and another for art and poetry national music band lead by Belal Al-Shami and many other outdoor activities. Participants will be taken through the amazing journey of the Constitution in a fun and friendly environment.
We hope that you and your family will join us celebrating the Constitution anniversary this year on Wednesday, November 11 in front of the Parliament from 5:30 to 10 pm
