I just surveyed it, Ralph, and though indicative of the German People's innate genius and some fine digital legerdemain, it sure looks molto creepioso to this eye.

"Turn Off Yesterday!" ?

"LG Optimus" ?

Excuse me ?

It appears like more N.W.O. slick corporate garbage to me. (It's stench and swagger are fast becoming seriously mega-menacing. Please, kindly DO show us the "OFF" switch!)

Pardon me if you will, but I will keeps me distance from this - whatever it may be - pending more study and reportage.

For sure, though, it reminded me of those ever-reconstructing buildings in 'Dark City' - a masterpiece on celluloid it ever there was one. (OUR likely future?)

Thanks for the look though; 'twas interesting.

(And, by-the-way, did you like your Wagnerian grand finale??? And also, might you as well have something to add to Mr. Tim's newest ice-water bath, as he has just given us?)

This is what happens when a tribal nation becomes instantly wealthy and doesn't call upon more advanced nations to assist with their growth. This is a fantastically wealthy country thanks to oil.

These boys have foul mouths but, the email is unbelievable

Subject: Dubai Construction Upddate...

*****Note the people filming this/driving the vehicle use unnecessary salty language, but it gives you an idea of the poor planning and development used in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Sorry for their language, but the video gives you an idea of what is wrong in the Arab Nations, and why we have to not allow our Country to be taken over by such nincompoops...... (that was meant to be a pun)

You are never Going To believe It !!!

(Watch the video at the end.)



The modern Arab world!! You have seen those architectural wonders of Dubai.

However, none are hooked up to a sewer system!

The two minute video below passes a line of poop trucks and never gets to the end of the line.

What were these people thinking?

An unbelievable amount of sewage is generated by the new high-rises and there is no place to dispose of it. Camel sense seems about right!

Dubai doesn't have a sewage system for all those big new buildings so they haul it all away in tanker trucks.

Look at the number of tank trucks that are waiting to dump their load. This is amazing.

They wait for days to dump their load.

You would have thought that by building all those huge skyscrapers they would have enough sense to put in a sufficient sewage system to take all that crap.

You would imagine that those buildings that look amazingly beautiful were built on a well-planned system of utilities. But, that's NOT TRUE!!

"This one is with James, our classical music lover in mind!" - Ralph

(Really, I hope I'm not the only one here!)

I saw that and I'm with JC - it was!

Virtuosi of any instrument are only to be admired, I believe.

Bach-Mozart-Rossini, what a treat.

As for the defecation issue over in Dubai, it is hard to fathom how such an omission could have come-to-be, and especially in these more modern of times. I am sure they will correct it, in any newer high-rise models.

Interestingly (I think) way back in the Twenties in Egypt (and before actually), Sultan Fouad (later to become King) by royal edict, had sewers and treatment plants installed throughout Cairo as well as many other Western style, civilizing improvements. Fouad was a germophobe neat-freak that beat out all others hands-down.

Very quickly he brought Egypt into the Twentieth Century and in important ways. The occupying English loved him, but trouble started with the ascendancy of his son, Farouk, to the throne.

"Leave that boy to ME!" - Sir Miles Lampson, British High Commissioner in Egypt, regarding the freshly minted King Farouk.

Lampson was naturally overbearing to young Farouk who grew to hate him. (He was nearly seven feet tall and fittingly, imperious.) There were conflicts here-and-there, but in the end Farouk saw him and later, all the English leave, and then he did by means of the bloodless Officers' Coup styled "revolution" headed by General Naguib, who was soon to be President, directly preceding Nasser.

Much to the credit of the Egyptians (Naguib and Saddat primarily) Farouk was not executed, but contrarily was sent into exile with honors! - a 21 gun salute with the deposing officers waving friendly goodbyes, as the deposed King and Queen Narriman sailed off to Capri, on the famous Royal Yacht, Mahroussa.

In my tiny considered opinion, the best thing that Egypt could possibly do at this point, might be to adopt some of the British model for their own scheme for governance, having again as their head of state the former King Ahmed Fouad II, along with a liberal constitution making the belief of the majority the state religion as in England but, with proper safeguards so as to needfully, vigorously protect the rights of the various religious minorities. (A.F.-II was King as an infant under regency, and is presently a fine and most capable gentleman.)

Legitimate reign and rule (as conceded by the Turkish Sultans in various stages) was established beginning 1805 by Mohammad Ally Pacha, which could then by this means be continued. Then, the historical legitimacy of reign if not rule would be then reestablished and, the Egyptian people could have their democratic form of self-rule ("by consent of the governed") as well as the all glitter and pomp that accrues by virtue of the royal presence and duties.

(All the the many glorious palaces would then be set to real, authentic use - this for attracting of evermore tourism, as well as political exchange. Their magnificence actually is beyond compare. Presidential "palaces" smack of dictatorships.)

Under such an reestablished constitutional monarchy, the King would repose above politics and politicking and serve many varying purposes, the one most important being that of continuity of legitimacy and familial, Royal presence. The English do very well with this and, no doubt, will continue to.

Both the Kings Fouad and Farouk were legitimate and powerful characters, and many other countries of the Middle East might well-profit from emulation of aspects, of their better examples.

Much of the nonsense written about supposed misadventures of King Farouk were just sensationalism all welled-up by the press for increasing of sales but, admittedly, the august King did provide them a lot of material for such imaginative, naughty conjurations. His doings and adventures added very greatly to the excitement and color of the whole Wartime Era story as well as afterward.

Thanks much for the interesting links, Ralph
