  Try the Chair “جرب الكرسي”
 

In an act to better understand those of special needs and in a display of humility, members of the parliament marched out in 360 mall with blind folds and walking sticks or on wheel chairs. This event was organized to show what people with special needs have to go through on a daily basis, just walking or trying to get cash out of the ATM. This is the first ever incident where parliament members and members of government have attended and showed their support and participation in such a way. I was pleased to see such enthusiasm on their part and it could build a better bridge of understanding between those in need and decision makers in government.

  Beyon-SEE
 

Beyonce is always a style icon to me as she always looks tasteful and gorgeous. This dress caused quite the uproar in Kuwait, with one designer claiming he had twenty orders in one day for this revealing get-up. Aside from the purple, I really love the dress. What do you guys think?

  Food for Thought
 

“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

“Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric. Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970) ”

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.”
Dalai Lama

This Awesome Assem, or Arab Eagle. A self proclaimed dancer, he trained himself in various international styles of dance and according to him he has a whole new level in dance performance. He claims, that his dance skills are so ashtonishingly extraordinary that they will create the next “dance revolution.” I think he might be talking about the game.

  Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch Dies @ 47
 

Adam Yauch, a rapper and founder of the pioneering and multimillion-selling hip-hop group the Beastie Boys, died on Friday in Manhattan. He was 47.

The rapper, known to fans as MCA, passed away Friday morning (May 4) after a long battle with cancer.

Adam was treated for a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node and underwent surgery and radiation therapy in 2009.

I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news. The Beastie Boys have been one of my all time favorite groups growing up and still listen to them today. I’m glad I got a chance to watch him perform in LA back in 2006. May you rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Adam‘s family during this difficult time.

Intergalactic, directed by MCA under the pseudonym of Nathanial Hornblower, was the Beasties’ biggest hit in the UK, reaching No 5 in 1998. The video was another superb and affectionate parody that amply reflected their satirical imaginations: this time it was Japanese sci-fi/horror B-movies that got the pastiche treatment. Again, it demolished (movie monster pun intended) all-comers at the MTV Video Music Awards, and the Beasties got to live out their mad professor and cyber worker fantasies. And they got to show their best kung-fu moves while wearing yellow wellington boots.

The 1986 bracket-fest (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!) wasn’t the Beasties’ first single – that honour went to 1985′s She’s On It. It wasn’t even the first single released off their 1986 debut album,Licensed To Ill - in fact, it was the fourth. But the song, helped not a little by the video, was the one that propelled them to global infamy and, at least for the next three years, fixed them in the public imagination as the terminally bratty snot-rap upstarts. Cameos include Def Jam labelmateLL Cool J and their producer Rick Rubin.
