Hi Garth, thanks for the link but I couldn't get it up, LOL ;) Is there a problem with it?

Saw some of the developments last year when I travelled there, amazing stuff!!

[limelady]

Hmmmm....looks like somethings gone awry. I will PM garth and ask if he could check his link.

No doubt he will sort it when he can.

Thanks for the powerpoint presentation! Pretty incredible. Those palm islands are interesting.

The sacred tree in Assyrian mythology is a palm that symbolizes Ishtar connecting heaven, the crown of the tree, and earth, the base of the trunk. Palm stems represented long life to the Ancient Egyptians, and the god Huh was often shown holding a palm stem in one or both hands. The palm tree was a sacred sign of Apollo in Ancient Greece because he had been born under one in Delos [3]. In ancient Mesopotamia, the date palm may have represented fertility in humans. The Mesopotamian goddess Inanna, who had a part in the sacred marriage ritual, considered herself the one who made the dates abundant. [4]

Inanna the original Ishtar...It's all very interesting and hardly surprising that they lavish so much money on luxuries while not so far away people are dying of thirst and hunger. It pains me, right in my heart.

Sorry about the link, will screen capture it to video and repost a new link soon:D

never tried to host power point before.

Hey Tin, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the insight into the palms, i did not know that, very interesting. Yeah you're right, so much indulgence when so many are hungry & without a short distance away..quite sickening:(

I love you tinmenace, I woke up all depressed (well a bit) but when I read that answer I just got all jolly again. Not that it was a special or new message or anything, it was just the right thing in the right place so to say, so thank you!

Hi Garth!! Terrific slide show of Dubai thanks!!! I just used the wee thingy down in the left hand corner to control the slides. Oh to be young (and an engineer or whatever) I would go work there for a couple of years...and earn heaps!! As it is, most of the labourers are from India..making hay while the sun shines. Dubai, along with The City (London), New York, Paris are The Elite/ Illuminati) strongholds.

It's a'ight Bud, changes are coming....:)

This made me :) .....thanks mate.

If we believe the changes will come...they will!! Man i am yearning for change...my spirit hates living like this. Having to conform to the rules and getting arse raped by the sytem every waking hour is wearing VERY THIN!!!
