You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.” 6 Comments

back seat Apr 19, 2006 10:02 pm 270 Views jokes!!!!! A blonde and a guy were out on a date and they ended up at ''Lovers' Cove'' where they were making out. The guy thought that things were going pretty good and maybe he would get lucky tonight, so he thought that he would ask her if she wanted to go in the back seat. ''NO!'' yelled the blonde. The guy just figured that she wasn't ready yet. Things got pretty hot and the guy thought he would try again. ''NO!'' the blonde yelled again. Things got even hotter and the blond was down to her bra and the guy even had her pants unzipped. ''Do you wanna go in the back seat yet?'' asked the guy. ''For the last time, NO!'' said the blonde.

Kuwait recently Apr 19, 2006 12:58 pm 294 Views A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years before the Gulf War, and she noted then that women customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kuwait recently and observed that the men now walked several yards behind their wives. She approached one of the women for an explanation. "This is marvelous," said the journalist. "What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?" Replied the Kuwaiti woman: "Land mines 4 Comments

Cut hand of any aggressor" Apr 18, 2006 9:29 pm 283 Views Ahmadinejad says Iran will 'cut hand of any aggressor' TEHRAN: Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad maintained his drumbeat of defiance yesterday, warning that Tehran would "cut off the hand of any aggressor" and insisting the military must be ready with the most modern technology. Speaking to military officers at a parade marking Army Day, Ahmadinejad said, "Today, you are among the world's most powerful armies because you rely on God." "Iran's enemies know your courage, faith and commitment to Islam and the land of Iran has created a powerful army that can powerfully defend the political borders and the integrity of the Iranian nation and cut off the hand of any aggressor and place the sign of disgrace on their forehead," Ahmadinejad said. Meanwhile, US President George W Bush refused yesterday to rule out nuclear strikes against Iran if diplomacy fails to curb the Islamic Republic's atomic ambitions. Bush said in Washington he would discuss Iran's nuclear activities with China's President Hu Jintao this week and avoided ruling out nuclear retaliation if diplomatic efforts fail. Asked if options included planning for a nuclear strike, Bush replied: "All options are on the table. We want to solve this issue diplomatically and we're working hard to do so." Speculation about a US attack has mounted since a report in New Yorker magazine said this month that Washington was mulling the option of using tactical nuclear weapons to knock out Iran's subterranean nuclear sites. The Iranian leader issued his comments as tension between Iran and the international community escalate over Tehran's refusal to stop enriching uranium. The United States, Britain, Japan, Israel, France and Germany have accused Iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to produce nuclear weapons. Iran says it is only building nuclear facilities to generate electricity. Ahmadinejad said Iran's army "has to be constantly ready, equipped and powerful. It has to be equipped with the latest technologies, recognise the enemy and constantly be vigilant." He spoke to military officers before a parade of the armed forces in southern Tehran. While threatening possible aggressors, Ahmadinejad said Iran's army would "serve peace and security for mankind especially the region and its neighbors." The "power of our army will be no threat to any country. Our army carries the message of peace and security... . It is humble toward friends and a shooting star toward enemies," he said. In Moscow, the Kremlin said it remained opposed to sanctions against Iran, as senior diplomats from six countries prepared to meet over dinner in the Russian capital to map out next steps toward solving the Iranian nuclear crisis. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin reaffirmed Moscow's insistence on more diplomacy. "We are convinced that it's impossible to lift concerns of the world community about the Iranian nuclear program by sanctions or the use of force," Kamynin said. Russia's U.N. Ambassador Andrey Denisov refused to predict what would happen if Iran does not suspend enrichment - a process that can help make a nuclear bomb - before an April 28 deadline. But he also insisted that the standoff be solved diplomatically. The Tehran military parade provided a fresh opportunity for Iran to display its modern military equipment, including missiles that are difficult to track with radar, super-fast torpedoes recently tested in war games, and other domestically produced weapons. The radar-avoiding missiles, 705-pound bombs, high-speed torpedoes, tanks and other armament were paraded on trucks. During war games in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea earlier this month, Iran test-fired what it called a "top secret" missile, an "ultra-horizon" weapon that could be fired from military helicopters and jet fighters. The missile does not use over the horizon targeting that other missiles require to hit targets at maximum range. Two other new missiles and torpedoes also were tested. The United States said Iran may have made "some strides" in its military but was likely exaggerating its capabilities. Among the weapons tested in the war games and displayed Tuesday was the Fajr-3, a missile that can avoid radar and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads, and a high-speed torpedo designed to sink war ships. Iran already possesses Shahab-3 missiles with a range of 2,000 km and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Israel and the United States have jointly developed the Arrow anti-ballistic missile system in response to deployment of the Shahab-3. Last year, former Defence Minister Ali Shamkhani said Tehran had successfully tested a solid fuel motor for the Shahab-3, a technological breakthrough in Iran's military. Iran launched an arms development program during its 1980-88 war with Iraq to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armoured personnel carriers, missiles and a fighter plane. Ahmadinejad has engaged in a series of high-profile threatening statements since making the announcement last Tuesday that Iran has successfully enriched uranium using 164 centrifuges, a significant step toward the large-scale production of a material that can be used to fuel nuclear reactors for generating electricity - or to build atomic bombs. Since that announcement, Ahmadinejad has also been even more defiant in defending Iran's decision to press ahead with its nuclear program over the UN Security Council's objections. Ahmadinejad rebuffed a request last week by Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran suspend uranium enrichment, saying Tehran will not retreat "one iota." -- AP 0 Comments

U$500 million .....The" Big Easy" Apr 18, 2006 9:20 pm 262 Views The 'Big Easy' says 'shukhran' to Kuwait By Velina Nacheva KUWAIT: A representative of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, the agency leading the state's rebuilding efforts following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, is visiting Kuwait to thank the country for its generosity and to represent New Orleans at the United States National Day celebration. Calvin Mackie is an associated professor of mechanical engineering at Tulane University and is on a three-day visit to Kuwait at the invitation of the public affairs section of the United States embassy. Mackie and Dr Hilal Al-Sayer, vice-president of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, held a joint press conference yesterday in the society's headquarters in Shuwaikh. Recalling the $500 million contribution by Kuwait's government to the Katrina victims Al-Sayer said, "This is the largest contribution from any country." Mackie added, "As a native of New Orleans, I am particularly moved by the kind gestures of support we have received from your friendly nation and the significant assistance provided by the Kuwait Red Crescent Society." Mackie briefed journalists about the magnitude of the destruction, the present day status of displaced New Orleans citizens and ongoing infrastructure restoration of the area, predicting that it will take five to 10 years for the region to fully recover. Mackie, a Hurricane Katrina victim himself, further briefed the press on the present status of the damage. He said, "In general, we are facing severe engineering challenges resulting from this natural disaster, which has political, social and economic ramifications for the people of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana. Recovering from this horrendous devastation of our state will take time and unswerving commitment to rebuilding our communities." "Your donations have helped ease the suffering and hardships that the people of Louisiana have experienced after Hurricane Katrina and for this we extend to you our sincerest gratitude," Mackie concluded. Mackie, also known as an inventor, specialises in heat transfer and fluid dynamics. He is a co-founder of ChannelZero educational and motivational consulting company and is a 2003 recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring. Mackie also holds a 1996 patent for a safety mechanism that retrofits luggage stow bins on Boeing 735 and 757 aircrafts. Asked about any patent projects he is currently working on, he explained that witnessing the loss of all the pictures on the walls during the hurricane made him think of a waterproof memorabilia bag to protect people's memories. "I saw people rummaging through the rubble just to find something they can identify with their memory," he said. A published author - A View from the Roof: Lessons for Life and Business' (Acanthus Publishing, 2005) - he is also a newspaper columnist. In 1992, he spotted the need for educational mentorship and he began mentoring as a sophomore at Morehouse College. He has had public speaking tenure for over fifteen years, giving motivational presentations to numerous educational, civic and corporate institutions. Committed to community service, Mackie, an active member of the National Speaker Association, the 100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans, is also a board member of New Orleans Computer Access Program, a non-profit organisation that places computers in the homes of New Orleans public school first graders. Over the last decade, he has given more than 500 presentations to elementary, high school and college students on the importance of science, mathematics and engineering in education. With an outreach background, Mackie also frequently addresses major corporations, encouraging employers to support their employees' efforts to further their science, math and engineering education. 0 Comments

Iran ready for showdown Apr 18, 2006 9:14 pm 266 Views By Ahmad Al-Khaled KUWAIT: Wrapping up his three-day visit to the state, former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said Iran is ready to face a military showdown with the United States over its nuclear programme, warning of the grave consequences of any attack. Rafsanjani, head of Iran's Expediency Council, questioned why people oppose nuclear technology in this part of the world, saying the "colonisers don't want Iran to have the technology". He hoped brotherly nations in the region will support Iran's quest for development. Iran, whose goal as stated by Rafsanjani, is to produce 20,000 MW of electricity via its nuclear facilities, will continue to mine uranium within the country for further use in developing its nuclear capabilities, which began with the help of the US in the 1960s. Rafsanjani added Iran's nuclear facilities maintain the highest levels of safety and security as witnessed by the fact that these facilities are in densely populated areas and the government will never risk the lives of its own people. Last week Iran announced that it had successfully enriched uranium for the first time, sparking concerns about its highly controversial programme. Gulf countries in particular have expressed concern over the possibilities of safety issues with their new nuclear neighbour and instability within the region. When asked about the threat of possible US military action against Iran, Rafsanjani stated that if the US were to think seriously about a confrontation with Iran, they will understand that there will be no way out of such an attack and it will be a death wish on the part of the US. "Thirty years ago, the US was in Iran, with advisers embedded in the country's army intelligence and the oil sector to foster Iran's role as a regional policeman," said Rafsanjani. "All we had were our people and our mosques and we defeated the US, sending it out of Iran, and even when the US attempted to quell our revolution, it failed," he declared, adding, "today we enjoy much more power and ability than we had at that time. It is unlikely that they enter such a deadly trap that they will not know when they will break loose from." He said many in the region agree with Iran on its stance that the US should leave the region and implored fellow countries not to give the US any excuses to continue staying in the area, saying the US is a danger in the region. When asked whether Iran would, if attacked by the US, strike back at US bases situated in Kuwait and other Gulf states, Rafsanjani said, "the question is premature." The current atmosphere of fear and worry in the Gulf is created by "Zionists and imperialists" who are using psychological warfare to foster fear, he said. "We want to reassure the region, and we know they will cooperate with us and not with the enemy," he noted. When confronted with allegations that Mohammed Nahawondion, a high-ranking official who is currently in the US, had actually begun secret negotiations with the US, Rafsanjani stated emphatically that the allegations were false and Nahawondion is in the US to only attend a conference. Negotiations with the US however, he said, were not foreign to Iran, which has negotiated previously with the US on Afghanistan and has agreed to talks over Iraq. He mentioned that if the upcoming negotiations on Iraq are successful, Iran will enter into negotiations on other matters as well. Of Iraq, Rafsanjani said, "we don't want sectarian violence but one independent Iraq. We hope all regional countries can work as partners with us. We (Iran, Iraq, and Syria) have agreed to work on constructing a pipeline from Iran to the Mediterranean and a railway line too." But while negotiations are underway, the plans cannot be implemented until the situation in Iraq is contained, he said. When asked about some 55,000 civilian volunteers who have pledged their willingness to die for the country should the US attack, some even offering to act as suicide bombers, Rafsanjani said they are not government-related but instead hail from NGOs within the country. Questions regarding the possibility of Israel taking military action against Iran were quickly put to rest with Rafsanjani stating that, "The hands of Israel cannot reach Iran but the hands of Iran can." With the UN Security Council's deadline for Iran to halt its uranium enrichment production by the 28th of this month fast approaching, Iran appears undaunted in efforts to continue its programme. Rafsanjani also said yesterday that if the US ever attacked his country, he was certain that Kuwait - a key US ally in the Gulf that hosts thousands of American soldiers - would not take sides. The comments drew no immediate public response, or endorsement, from Kuwaiti officials, who have reacted to his visit with caution. Though Rafsanjani has said his visit here is to allay Gulf nations' fears about Iran's intentions. Instead, Rafsanjani seemed to be signalling Gulf nations that they should not take sides in the current US-Iran standoff. Gulf nations have privately expressed grave fears that the standoff over Iran's nuclear programme could result in US air strikes on Iran, or that Iran's effort to develop a nuclear programme could lead to a Mideast arms race. Any US attack on Shiite-majority Iran could cause widespread unrest in a region that is largely governed by US-friendly Sunni Arab governments, but which has restive Shiite minorities and whose overall populations are often strongly anti-American 2 Comments
