Order and counter-order...



EDIT : Btw, speaking about fail safe, here's the trailer...
Of course, i speak about the original one, directed by Sidney Lumet, and not about the 2000 version with Mister Nespresso...

On the occasion of the launch of the TV serie "Familles Apocalypse", National Geographic Channel organizes a competition on the website «Êtes vous prêts ?» (Are you ready ?), to offer for one person and 5 of his close relations a real nuclear fallout shelter to survive the end of the world planned on December 21st, 2012.

When the bullshit will be quoted in stock exchange, i'll buy shares...

I think RpR and friends should be prepared to buy the Czech6 bunker and move there.
Buy some computers, set up the networks, buy frozen pizzas, M&M's and good beer, wine and chocolate
for all enthusiasts. That would make the best "end of the disc ever"

Restrictions on women in Saudi Arabia



The reports suggest that the Saudi government are using
GPS tracking devices to allow husbands to keep track of
their wives whereabouts.

There are several limitations on what a woman can do
in the conservative Muslim country:

1. All females must have a male guardian. Women may need
their guardian's permission for marriage and divorce, travel,
education, employment and opening a bank account.

2. Among men they are not related to, women must cover their
hair and most of their body. Accordingly, women in most of
the country must wear the hijab (head covering), and full
black cloak called an abaya.

3. Women must limit their interaction with men they are
not related to. Most offices, banks, and universities have
separate entrances for men and women.

Public transportation, parks, beaches and amusement parks are
also segregated.

Telegraph

Congratulations to the world information agencies as Reuters for not talking about that, at least at this moment i've found nothing about this topic on the main websites... (But i found a lot of pages about "people" life...)
