There are certain things that shouldn’t cost so much. I wouldn’t mind spending on a nice watch, a nice wallet, a nice whatever. But a TV at KD1500+ is just not worth buying. I’d rather spend some extra dollars for a satellite TV, either dish or direct tv for HD experience channels. Some might argue that TVs are the most used piece of furniture ever invented, and I’d agree, but certain things shouldn’t cost much, the tv is one of those things.
Fa 3ad I’ve been shopping around for a nice audio visual (AV) rentals to put on my room’s wall and replace my current vintage “Bo dabba” TV. I like doing my research before I buy something.. it took me 3 months to buy my sound canceling bose headphones.. so you can imagine how much time would I need to buy a new TV.. (7 years) e7em.. anyway. I was glad when they announce the LED technology, I thought I was real smart for holding out and not buying the thin Full HD TVs when they came out, coz now we have something that is even slimmer and akshakh.. I also remember not liking it’s KD1000+ price. No TV is worth my 1000+ monayyh. And it happened all over again with the new cool and futuristic 3D TVs. I mean you can’t help but be a kid again with 3D technology, right?
But you know what? I’ve always thought that we, humans, weren’t meant to indulge ourselves in such an advanced technology, it’s way too cool, and even way cooler to have at our houses and in our rooms.. ya3ny imagine yourself going to sleep to a 3D TV. We’re just not there yet. And apparently someone whose opinion really does matter agrees with me, and have proofs that 3D TVs doesn’t work well with our brains. Unless they produce holographic images, they won’t work.
Anyway, if you’re thinking of buying one, with or without 3D glasses, then you might want to read this article. I did, and you should read this piece by too, it’s by a multiple academy award winning editor Walter Murch.
Highlights:
“But the deeper problem is that the audience must focus their eyes at the plane of the screen — say it is 80 feet away. This is constant no matter what.
But their eyes must converge at perhaps 10 feet away, then 60 feet, then 120 feet, and so on, depending on what the illusion is. So 3D films require us to focus at one distance and converge at another. And 600 million years of evolution has never presented this problem before. All living things with eyes have always focused and converged at the same point.”
“3D films would not work if we couldn’t. But it is like tapping your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time, difficult. So the “CPU” of our perceptual brain has to work extra hard, which is why after 20 minutes or so many people get headaches. They are doing something that 600 million years of evolution never prepared them for. This is a deep problem, which no amount of technical tweaking can fix. Nothing will fix it short of producing true “holographic” images.”
“So: dark, small, stroby, headache inducing, alienating. And expensive. The question is: how long will it take people to realize and get fed up?” – Walter Murch
“It doesn’t work with our brains and it never will.
The notion that we are asked to pay a premium to witness an inferior and inherently brain-confusing image is outrageous. The case is closed.” – Roger Ebert
So, now we have 2 problems at hand: #1 We need another million years or so to learn how to watch 3D TVs. and #2 TVs shouldn’t cost this much!!
I received this gift on thursday from the nice people at The Bed Shop (The Bed Boutique). I was excited to try it out ever since I got their email. They’re Tempur. Tempur is the brand of the pillow I’ve been using for 8 months. It’s an amazing brand. Read my review here. So I got the tempur slipper and I used it. I didn’t feel it at first, but after a while, it felt great down there. The tempur material wraps itself around your foot and it takes it shape. It’s like memory foam for the foot. Very comfortable. You should try it for yourselves to understand. The bottom is rugged, so chances of slipping are low. Oh and it’s warm for winter times.
It’s unisex, available in dark blue only, and for KD32.
This amazing sleeping outfit plus an amazing Snoozel Green mattress is the perfect combo for a good night sleep, you should find the right mattress I recommend you to look into tips for choosing mattress firmness.
Everyone knows that eating a balanced diet, exercising and getting plenty of rest are key to maintaining good health. However, that can seem to be an impossible task while in college. Frequently, the appeal of sweets, fast food, caffeine and alcohol outweigh healthy options when you’re in the company of friends or under stress from coursework. Here are some tips for staying healthy in spite of your college lifestyle.
Nutrition
Eat a variety of nutrient rich foods. Your body actually needs more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and there is not one single source for them. Your daily food selection should include a balance of good carbs, protein, fruits, veggies, and dairy products. Check out the food guide from the USDA at mypyramid.gov. These are the best phentermine alternatives.
Eat moderate portions. If you keep portion sizes moderate and reasonable, it is easier to eat what you want, and maintain a healthy and balanced diet. What’s a moderate portion? A medium-sized piece of fruit is one serving. A cup of pasta equates 2 servings and a pint of ice cream contains 4 servings.
DO NOT SKIP MEALS. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger and frequently results in over-indulging. Snacking between regular meals can help if you are pressed for time. Just make sure you have at least two balanced meals.
DO NOT eliminate certain foods. Because our bodies require diverse nutrition, it’s a bad idea to eliminate all salt, fat, and sugar from our diets, unless told to do so by a medical professional. Choosing healthier options such as skim or low-fat dairy will help you maintain a balanced diet.
Foods are not good or bad. It’s all about portion control!
Drink water! Stay away from cokes and other sugary sodas, which can pack as much as 17 teaspoons of sugar per 20oz drink! Sugar is a source of empty calories that can use up important vitamins and minerals in your body. Water helps not only to hydrate, but to aid in blood circulation, the removal of toxins from our bodies and in the regulation of our body temperatures.
Avoid too much caffeine. Caffeine is a mildly addictive drug that can affect your ability to sleep and focus while also affecting such bodily functions as muscle function and the cleansing of waste products.
Fitness and stress management
Be active
Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
Get at least 30 minutes of activity every day. If the idea of sweating at the gym for hours on end doesn’t sound appealing to you, then head outside for a game of ultimate Frisbee. Or, try going for a walk or a run. The important thing is that you get moving!
Relax
Keep yourself organized to eliminate unnecessary and preventable stress.
Turn off the TV and listen to music.
Make time everyday, even if it’s just 15 minutes, for relaxation and reflection.
Get plenty of sleep.
Allow at least 30 minutes of quiet relaxing activity before bed at night, e.g. reading.
Resist the temptation to use sleeping pills, when under the stress of writing papers, studying, etc.
Sleep is not a waste of time! It’s as important and necessary as nutrition and exercise.
Social health
Get involved and meet people in a positive environment. Often the adjustment to college can be difficult, especially when students are leaving the support system they have known for a lifetime. Whether it’s participating on a sports team or in Rhodes Student Government, joining a religious organization, volunteering at the soup kitchen, or helping in some other form, helping others helps us. The most important thing to remember is to find something you are interested in and enjoy yourself
Rejoice all you foodies out there. Americana reached an agreement with owner of Red Lobster, Olive Garden and LonHorn Steakhouse chains. The agreement includes opening at least 60 branches of the before mentioned restaurants in the middle east region.
I just hope they try and raise their standards and maintain quality.
Darden Restaurants Inc. said Tuesday it reached an agreement with franchise operator Americana Group to develop at least 60 of its restaurants in the Middle East.
The operator of Olive Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse chains said the agreement calls for Americana to put in place restaurants in countries such as Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Financial terms of the agreement weren’t disclosed.
“The Middle East is an attractive, growing market that has shown a strong affinity for American brands, especially American dining brands,” said Darden Chairman and Chief Executive Clarence Otis.
Americana is the biggest food-service franchise operator in the Middle East, with more than 1,200 restaurants in the region. It has franchised U.S. brands such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Hardee’s and TGI Friday’s.
“Consumer demand for casual dining brands in the Middle East market has grown over the past decade, and we expect that growth to continue in the future,” said Americana Chairman and General Manager Marzouk Al Kharafi.
Darden has seen improvement of late as the U.S. economy has continued to heal and demand for casual dining has gotten better as consumers have loosened the grip on their wallets.
The company continually outperformed its sector during the recession and has steered clear of price-focused promotions favored by other chains. In September, the company said its fiscal first-quarter profit rose 20% and same-store sales rose.
An understanding of the purpose, tools and best practices of the digital workplace is essential to creating an effective digital workplace strategy. It is even more mission-critical to provide the flexibility and mobility to our global employees, as today people work more and more from home, in the field or even on-the-go. After completing the following five steps, you’ll be ready to unleash the power of a digital workplace in your organization and ensure maximum productivity from your employees, no matter where they are. Learn more about regulation metaverse.
Develop a digital workplace strategy that will energize your employees:
1. Understand Digital Workplace Strategy
The digital workplace is the sum of all technologies that your employees use for work, from HR and CRM applications to email. Most organizations already use a variety of digital tools to get work done, which makes it easier to develop a more effective digital workplace environment. In fact, developing a concrete digital workplace transformation strategy has helped many organizations to see measurable returns from their efforts to modernize the office.
So, what is a digital workplace strategy? When building a digital workplace strategy you should consider the following four layers: employees, technology, controls and business goals. An effective strategy combines all four of these layers in a way that increases employee productivity, satisfaction, retention and communication.

2. Define Your Vision
Without a clear vision, you might find yourself investing in new technologies and platforms that fail to benefit your organization in the long run. To achieve positive results, your digital workplace vision needs to align with your business goals.
So, how can you define your vision for the digital workplace? First, make sure you have a clear reason for wanting to overhaul your work environment, like increasing employee engagement and productivity. Then work closely with your stakeholders, including managers and directors, to shape a plan and execute it.
3. Make Your Blueprint
Establishing a blueprint, or road map, for your digital workplace initiative will enable all departments in your organization to work together in a coordinated effort to achieve business goals. Additionally, involving all departments will ensure that all employees have a chance to be a part of the process, which can significantly improve the effectiveness of the initiative.
So, how can you establish a blueprint for your new digital workplace strategy? Ask each department, including research and development, marketing, sales, customer support, manufacturing, HR and IT the following questions:
How will you use technology to improve employee experience and support the organization’s digital workplace initiative?
How can you create workspaces that increase employee creativity and collaboration?
Then after doing some thorough research of your own, use those answers to decide which new technologies you want to implement in your organization.
4. Build Your Toolbox
A digital workplace toolbox includes all the tools and technologies that employees need to get their jobs done. Remember, though, you can only build an effective toolbox if you’ve already defined your vision of the ideal digital workplace. Otherwise, new tools may only benefit certain departments or groups – or worse, no one at all.
So, what should you include in your digital workplace toolbox? In most organizations, digital tools will fall into eight broad categories, each of which supports business goals in a unique way:
Messaging, which provides rapid communication: email, instant messaging, micro-blogging, mobile messaging.
Productivity, which enables employees to work efficiently: word processors, spreadsheet software, calculators, presentation software.
Collaboration, which enables employees to work together: wikis, web conferencing, communities, team rooms.
Communication, which supports internal publishing and information sharing: blogs, intranet platforms, portals, personalized homepage.
Business applications, which allows employees to access self-service applications online: ERP, CRM, HR systems, expense claims.
Crowdsourcing, which enables the organization to gather employee feedback and ideas: polling, forums, surveys.
Connectivity, which makes it easy to locate experts and co-workers across an organization: employee directory, organization chart.
Mobility, which enables remote work: laptop, smartphone, home office, remote scanners.
Mishary posted about this station over a year ago, before it opened. This station is near GUST & ACK. I went last week for the first time, and I thought It was refreshingly different from most of Kuwait’s outdated gas stations.
When Darth Vader (David Prowse) revealed his secret to Luke, Hamill was hanging onto a pinnacle above mattresses placed on cardboard boxes about 30 feet off the ground.
These shots were taken in 1979-1980 on the set while filming Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The rare shots were revealed by Vanity Fair to mark the movie’s 30th anniversary.

AN Australian inventor has taken out one of the world’s most prestigious design awards with a bazooka that saves lives, rather than claims them.
He won for his modified Bazooka, which shoots a tablet that inflates the moment it touches water into a life saving foam unit. There shouldn’t be any concerns when it comes to debris or sharp stuff, coz this unit is made of expandable foam.
Two major newspapers covered the exact same event: Welcoming back our Kuwaiti National Football Team (reserves).
AlRai wrote that there was no proper attendance by the officials, nor the football fans, and most of the people gathered at the airport welcoming the players back, were actually the players’s families.
AlRai Newspaper:
لم يحظ لاعبو منتخب الكويت الرديف لكرة القدم بطل دورة غرب اسيا بالاستقبال اللائق عقب عودته للبلاد ظهر يوم امس رغم عودته الى سلك درب الالقاب بعد ان حاد عنه لمدة 12 عاما وتحديدا منذ فوزه بلقب بطولة كأس الخليج الرابعة عشرة في البحرين عام 1998، حيث لم يشارك في الاستقبال سوى نائب مدير الهيئة العامة للشباب والرياضة جاسم يعقوب و نائب رئيس اتحاد كرة القدم (غير الشرعي) هايف المطيري و الشاعر الشيخ دعيج الخليفة و رجل الاعمال وليد الجاسم و جماهير قليلة اغلبها من ذوي اللاعبين.
AlWatan on the other hand had a completely different experience and reporting. They thought that our national football team got an unprecedented reception, something Kuwait haven’t witness nor known before yesterday’s event. All the officials, fans , ect.. were there.
AlWatan Newspaper:
شهد مطار الكويت الدولي ظهر امس استقبالا لم يسبق له مثيل لابطال الازرق الرديف عقب عودته الى البلاد قادما من العاصمة الاردنية عمان بعد ان حقق انجازا كبيرا بفوزه بكأس غرب آسيا السادسة على حساب المنتخب الايراني صاحب الصولات والجولات في هذه البطولة.
وكانت قاعة التشريفات قد اكتظت بكبار المسؤولين عن الرياضة يتقدمهم عضوا الهيئة العامة للشباب والرياضة محمد المسعود وجاسم يعقوب وامين سر اللجنة الاولمبية عبيد زايد ونائب رئيس اتحاد الكرة هايف الديحاني وسكرتير عام الاتحاد سهو السهو والاعضاء مانع الحيان وطلال المعصب وجماهير غفيرة غصت بهم الشوارع المؤدية الى المطار واستقبلت تلك الجماهير ابطال الازرق بالاحضان والورود والاهازيج وحملت بعض اللاعبين على الاكتاف تقديرا للانجاز الذي حققوه كما قام الاتحاد بتنظيم حفل مميز صاحبته اغان وطنية واهازيج شعبية اعادت للاذهان العصر الذهبي للكرة الكويتية.
You can’t have 180 degrees different opinions about an attendance of an event. What do you think?
I have 2 games that are totally addictive, I mean seriously, I’m rediculously addicted to those 2 games that I couldn’t help but promote to every friend with an iPhone or iPad. Though I think games at 666casino are so much fun to play and in fact allow its players to win real money, we a re not talking about it today. Make sure to only use approved gambling sites when playing online. Apart from the Best singapore online casino, you should not consider other sites. I’m recommending them to you now.
Bees VS Ants
You’re a swarm of bees, you have your castles, but you’re greedy and evil, you’re an evil bee (it’s cute already), so you need to invade the ants territories and take over their castles. Everything happens real fast, it’s kill or get killed. You’ll love it. Also you will love playing at daisyslots.com, many online casino games that you like awaits you. play your favorite classic casino games and relax.
Crystal War
This one reminds me of old AMEGA games, it’s 2D and it’s a war game. Your commander is on the far left, sending your troops over to theirs, to kill their way till you reach their commander and take him down. It’s simple. Low on graphics but addictive. I’m taking a break from this one coz I think I overplayed it a bit. There are other type of games like these, check the best ones at mp1st.com.
If you’re a MOBA gamer then get your league smurfs for a better ranked gaming experience at UnrankedSmurfs. These 2 are addictive so be warned. While we’re on the subject. If you prefer playing MMOs like RuneScape but want to skip all the time-consuming grinding and get straight to playing with the items you want, you can buy osrs gold in this website. I’m almost done with those 2.. Do you have any really good iPhone games?
Well he first and foremost, is Mariah Carey’s ex husband, this is the most interesting part of this person’s life as far as I’m concerned. But he is also many other things.
Once uppon a time he was the most powerful man in the music industry. He was the head of Sony’s music devision back in the late 1980’s till beginning of the 2000’s. He helped and/or discovered, developed,, raised to stardom, expanded, the following artists:
Mariah Carey
Ricky Martin
Shakira
Jennifer Lopez
Jessica Simpson
Diana Ross
Beyonce
Marc Anthony
Gloria Estefan
Celine Dion
He is, as reports have suggested, connected with the Mafia, connected (had power over) with all the radio networks back in his heydays, and was the most influential man in the music industry, when the music industry was as big as the universe that is. The man had it all, and somehow lost it all, his powers I mean, not his wealth, coz he still is wealthy as hell.
Get this: He made SONY $1,000,000,000 richer with Mariah Carey alone. Celine have sold as much as Mariah.. 3alaikom le7sab.
He is the kind of guy that you can’t help but be disgusted and inspired by all at once! He is writing his memoirs. Lots of warms are going to crawl out of that piece of valuable writings, and I can’t wait to turn it’s pages!
My family have announced that they’re boycotting each and every overpriced piece of vegetable on the market. That announcement was made by my Father yesterday, and therefor we’re now officially a part of the “خلوها تخيس” (let it rot) campaign.

Combined with moderate exercise, read the Java burn review, understand the testosterone therapy produces significant weight loss in men with lower-than-normal levels. Correcting the amount of testosterone in your body helps you maintain lean mass as you shed body fat. When you start taking testosterone supplements, the hormone testosterone (T) adds more muscle cells to your muscle mass. Dense muscles and high T levels stop your body from storing as much fat and help you burn calories efficiently. You can ask your doctor which is the best testosterone supplements depending your age, sex and goals allowing you not only to boost your workout routine but also the results from it, try the Revitaa pro if you are looking for a good weight loss supplement.
Mutubtub is currently recruiting MUTUBTUB MINIONS (volunteers). If you have the time, dedication, and passion, we’ll be glad to have you on the team.

I just learned that he’s got one. It’s decent, lots of information in his biography section.. Did you know that Darb Alzalag was the first colored tv production in the gulf? I just did! and that he has many plays (masra7iyat) from the early 60’s that weren’t recorded? How about how he go discovered as a potential comedian by Zaki Tulaimat totally by accident?
I think it’s a great source of information about this great actor. Check it out
The Kuwaiti notes from dinars to twenties, enclosed and presented like checks for Eid elfitir (Real Cash). It would’ve been a hit in my opinion if it wasn’t for the Central Bank of Kuwait rejecting the idea. However I was told that even if this was made available, it would’ve been available to select clients in KFH, VIPs Altamayoz’s clients and such.. I was also told that quite a few people got their hands on these checks/3ayady before they were rejected by the Central Bank.
