Thats one way to draw driver's attention

I was thinking about two interesting artciles i read today and had to decide whihc one to post:

Guess which one i selected?? exactly, its the weekend the hell with bad news.

The Danish found a way to draw drivers attention to Speed signs, they say its very effective.

"Over in Denmark, the powers that be decided to deploy the nation's best assets to address the nation's rather casual attitude to excess velocity. Step forward the "Bikini Bandits" - "a specially-trained team of enthusiastic young women not afraid to do whatever it takes so that motorists pay more attention to the speed limit".
In fact, so successful did the Bikini Bandits prove that they pretty well brought Copenhagen to a standstill, as the illuminating
video shows.
Good show. According to the blurb, the video was "made by the Danish Road Safety Council and aims to draw attention to speed signs and speed limits in Denmark". It adds: "Despite a decrease in speed violations, seven out of 10 Danes still exceed the speed limit on a regular basis. Respecting the speed limits is the simplest way to save lives."

Even the Greek are criticizing it !!!!!

According to CNN,
THERMOPYLAE, Greece (AP) -- Greece's critics hated "300," but moviegoers here are lining up to watch the gory recreation of the Battle of Thermopylae in record numbers -- happy to lap up the Hollywood thrills and take an indulgent view of what detractors call a butchery of their ancient history.
Critics dismissed the movie as gratuitously violent and historically inaccurate, one magazine describing it as a "bloodlust videogame."

To add to my earlier point as representing Greek as a democratic society. "Historians believe Leonidas was not a young man, unlike the way he's presented in the movie. And Sparta, of course, was not a democracy as it is depicted in the movie but a fearsome military power ruled with absolute authority."
What can i say, this is a typical Hollywood movie, but the action is tooo good to miss. Just bare in mind this is not historically accurate.
I guess this is one of those movies which the audience will like but critics will hate !!

My type of a Judge



BARTOW, Fla. - A judge has ordered a man who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide to display a large picture of the victim in his home after serving two years in prison.

Circuit Judge Robert Doyel said Friday that the picture must be at least 2 feet wide and displayed prominently. It also must include lettering that says: 'I'm sorry I killed you.'
Arthur Pierce, 31, was racing with his cousin on a busy street when they caused an accident that killed 17-year-old Chelsi Gregory, authorities said. Witnesses told police Pierce was swerving in traffic at about 120 mph when his Cadillac collided with a pickup in which Gregory was a passenger


Seems to me a good punishment, even worst then jail !! our Judges should learn and be more creative !!

Housing problem to be solved in 2008??

في العام 2008 سنرى أولى ثمرات المشروعات الإسكانية الجديدة في المدينة الشمالية وفي المحرق وفي المنامة وفي المحافظة الجنوبية وفي الوسطى... ستبدأ النتائج تظهر أولاً في الشمالية والمحرق»، مشيراً الى أن «المخطط الهيكلي الاستراتيجي حالياً مازال مسودة، وهذا المخطط يغطي احتياجات البحرين للسكن ولإقامة المشروعات الصناعية والتجارية والنقل الأساسي حتى العام 2030»
The crown prince announced today that we will see the beginning of the end to the housing problem in Bahrain. He told alwasat news, according to our master plan (which is in draft form), we will see the fruits of the plan starting next year. He said, it will start with Muharaq and central municipality. The master plan is to cover all land distribution until 2030.

Now, what i heard is the study and the plan is being prepared by a well known American company which have done similar projects in Chicago and other major cities. In addition to the housing problem and the allocation of land, the draft plan brought attention to the declining access to the sea front and the decline in green areas.
If there is someone who has any credibility left in the government, that someone is the Crown Prince, as long as this plan will be implemented by the EDB, under his supervision, then we all have hope!!

Meet the creator of (Conan, The Boy in Future) A.K.A Adnan wa Leena

Meet Hayao Miyazaki is one of the best known directors of Japanese animation. We know him for his creation Conan, the Future Boy or as we know it as Adnan wa Leena. Some of his last films are: "Spirited Away", awarded an Oscar to the Best Animation Feature Film of 2003, and "Howl's Moving Castle".

I am such a fan of this guy, he is soo creative. i dont think anyone can be compared to his creativity.

Although largely unknown in the West outside of animation communities until Miramax released his film Princess of Mononoke in 1999, his films have enjoyed both commercial and critical success in Japan and East Asia.

Spirited Away
Miyazaki's Spirited Away is the highest-grossing film of all time in Japan; Princess Mononoke held the same title for a short period until the release of Titanic later in the same year.
