She was on The Amazing Race after that pageant and it was pretty evident that she's never going to forget that particular moment nor are people going to let her. I didn't know anything about her until it was mentioned on the show but she did well in the race. Ignorant yes, but then lots of people are, all around the world. Nothing to do with pageants at all, IMO.

Just another option here - are you sure your husband is not talking about a media player? There are media players that have storage on them and ones where you have to connect external hard drives to them. They do everything - play movies, audio, photos, connect to the internet. You can even add them to your home network so that you can transfer files to them wirelessly and watch on the TV. They connect via analog cables and HDMI. They also play stuff off sd cards. There are two main brands here - Western Digital and Iomega. A WD Live Hub ( a media player with inbuilt Hard drive) 1 TB costs about 799 dhs. A normal WD 1 TB hard drive costs about 349 dhs. I have seen offers where a 1 TB HD is packaged with a 500 GB one for about 400 Dhs. An Iomega TV link Media player direct with a USB wifi adapter ( this is a media player without a hard drive) retails for about 449 dhs. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/homeentertainment/mediaplayers/ http://go.iomega.com/en-us/products/multimedia-drive/screenplay-multimedia-drives/?partner=4760 HTH

I heart my Smeg. Gas oven and burner, have had it for 5 months now and , touchwood, so far so good. No burnt food, food cooks in the time recommended in recipes, easy to clean and looks good. Got it from Betterlife in MOE. Smeg have electric oven/gas burner ones too but they are at the higher end pricewise and feature - wise. Have no experience with Betterlife's after sale service but they installed the oven, explained how to use it and did it all neatly and with no fuss. One of the biggest reasons for us to pick Smeg as a brand was there were hardly any in the 2nd hand market. Took that as a good sign. Will know in time, I guess.

Just wanted to tell the OP the reason that the reason you're getting those searches in the Google bar is because you're using the site "Google.ae", i.e, Google's UAE based site. Since the majority of expats in the country and the region come from India, it stands to reason that the most popular search terms are related to India.

not at all, in my case. my asthma is worsened by cold and dry weather, mainly when i am in europe Me too. The cold and all the pollen at home is the killer. I'm great here. Me three... it's unbearable when I go back home, humidity is a big trigger for me. I have come back from trips with a full chest and barely able to breathe and 5 minutes after I step outside the terminal, I feel so much better.

I don't see that it has to be a Dubai bashing thread at all - poor Jwal is clearly having a hard time making up her mind as to what to do and needs everyone's views to help her. I agree that it doesn't have to be but it usually ends up being that. And I did acknowledge that I realised she was having a hard time. Going to shut up now.

To the OP, why do you persist in this topic time and time again. This must the 3rd or 4th time that you've put up a thread comparing Dubai to the UK. Each time the responses have been pretty much the same - almost everyone ends up slating Dubai. Why do you do this? The Dubai bashing is endless.... You are comparing a developing, Islamic city in a desert to a secular, developed country. The comparison is unfair. I understand you are having a tough time making up your mind, but please understand that the ease, that people's lifestyle here affords, cannot be replicated back in any developed country without serious amounts of money. If you don't like it don't read it or comment on it! It is not meant to be a dubai bashing thread, just peoples opinions/experiences. I haven't commented on any of your previous threads regarding this matter, just observing that each of the threads that you posted on this degenerated into a Dubai bashing one.

TKoshy, sorry but it is.... http://www.clydeco.com/knowledge/articles/voice-over-ip-in-the-uae.cfm Based on our interpretation of the Policy, the use of telecommunications services using VoIP (“VoIP Services”) in the UAE is prohibited, including: VoIP calls made using the public Internet, e.g. through services such as Skype, Net2Phone Voipcheap; PC-to-PC calls; PC-to-Phone calls; the use of IP handsets using the Internet to make national or international calls; the use of web-activated telephony, which uses VoIP to connect traditional phones (landline or mobile); the use of VoIP gateways and services that connect an office in the UAE to an office outside the UAE. There is an exception to the general prohibition – VoIP Services are permitted where: the VoIP Services are provided entirely within an entity’s Private Network, or by du or Etisalat (the licensed telecommunications providers in the UAE); and all such VoIP calls originate and terminate within the UAE. Ahh, ok, my mistake. Saw/read somewhere that pc to pc was ok just not pc to landlines/mobiles. Thanks for the info.

Downloaded it yesterday, no problems. The message you get happens most often when the file does not get downloaded in full/ is corrupted in some way. Try downloading again. Skype is not illegal if you're using it computer to computer, only when you use it to make calls to landlines/mobiles abroad. HTH

Loved USoTara. Toni truly deserved her awards. Bored to Death is my current favourite - just finished both seasons and waiting impatiently for the next. Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson make a great combo. Others I like are Episodes, Midsomer Murders ,Modern Family, Secret Diary of a Call Girl,CSI and Criminal Minds. The only reality show I watch is The Amazing Race. Addictive.

Don't do the Windows starter pack. It was meant for net books, for people who wanted simple tasks like browsing, email,watching movies, etc. The Windows 7 Home pack is better just because it allows for added functionality in case you need it, in the future. Also check to see if the Office program is already installed with laptop or you have to upgrade/purchase separate. Usually, whether you buy a Mac or a Windows based laptop, you will have to buy separate programs for everything. There are installed programs on both that allow media playback, photo editing, etc, but any program worth using needs to be purchased/downloaded. There are alternatives available for free, like using Open Office instead of using Microsoft Office, so once you decide on the type of OS that you want, then you can search for free software to download. I personally used to use NOD32 antivirus software. One of its biggest advantages for me was that it was not a resource hog - as a program when it was on, it did not use a lot of the computers memory. It was also able to catch things that others weren't able to. Another antivirus software I would recommend is Kaspersky. Good reviews. Having said that, I now use a Windows XP - and haven't used an antivirus for about 2 years now. No problems. I just use an antimalware/spyware scanner once a month and it works fine for me. The Macs don't need antivirus spiel I don't subscribe too because there are malwares/spywares out there that can infect computers running the Mac OS/ios software. It all depends on your browsing/email/download habits. HTH

Check out Tripadvisor Kochi http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g297633-Kochi_Kerala-Hotels.html Of the hotels mentioned, I would recommend Old Harbour Hotel, Malabar House and the Brunton Boatyard for places with some history. There is another hotel called the Koder House, right next to Old Harbour, which is a historical building that has housed dignitaries. For location, can't beat Old Harbour and Koder house. No beach but right opposite the sea and the chinese fishing nets. Brunton is a luxury chain hotel that sits at the harbour mouth. You can watch as the tankers and container ships glide past slowly. All of these are close together with Brunton having the best sea view.A couple of minutes walk gets you to Princess Street and lots of small cafes and shops around. Try the Kashi Art cafe for some local artists and good food. Another place that I would recommend, if only for its location, is the Poovath Heritage Hotel. It's a recently refurbished family home that is right on the beach and next to the Dutch cemetary. This alongwith Malabar House hotel, mentioned above, are right in the sightseeing zone. Malabar House is on a lane opposite the parade grounds. I've not stayed at any of these hotels but have visited/dined at Old Harbour, Malabar House and Brunton Boatyard and can vouch that they are clean, beautiful and have lovely service. Fort Kochi is beautiful. Hope you have fun.

Second Mirdif Fish & Chips behind the Pink mall in Mirdif. DH used to work at Harry Ramsdens and he says they are good. He had haddock which was great, I had hamour - not so great. The chips were freshly made ( and wonderful) and the mushy peas was ok. My favourite was the fried mars bar, mmmm!! Don't think anybody dines in, we were the only ones there the entire time, saw loads of home deliveries going out. There are only 3 tables with chairs, in a very small space, so you will feel crowded. Nothing to look at, the place is inside a building and just opens out onto a corridor.

As an Indian, going to a party that you have not been invited for is considered extremely rude and dishonourable. I would never go for something I was not invited to and don't know anybody who would. Having said that, when we were growing up, b'day party invites were not just for kids but also adults and siblings. Up till the age of 5-6, the kids who attend actual b'day parties at home/elsewhere are invited along with their families. No RSVP's, you just planned for all of them.Also you would only invite families that you knew personally. So that meant most of the time, maybe 2- 3 of your closest classmates ( whose parents would be friends with mine) would be invited. The rest where all kids of family friends and kids in the building/neighbourhood. Your classmates would only get a chocolate/piece of cake at school and so would all the teachers who taught you. This would continue up till the age of 10 , with the number of people being invited going down each year. The number of classmates might go up dependent on the childs friend circle at school, but almost always siblings were invited too ( in such cases, parents dropped the kids off and picked up later). The gifts part - it was mostly toys, books, etc. Money,gold, other kind of gifts ,etc were reserved for baptisms,communions, naming/ ear piercing ceremonies,etc. You gave gifts dependant on your relationship to the receiver and your financial position. So if the invitations are vague then perhaps there may be misunderstanding on the part of other parents. It is perfectly fine to be specific about your rules for the party.

I would say well done Ireland. Shame on India. I wouldn't say that. I think its only fair that everyone realises that Irish aren't a team to ignore, even though they are branded associates (whatever that means). I do think the English made the mistake of not taking them too seriously, just like India would have if it wasn't for that match where Ireland totally kicked a$$. But there lies the catch, Ireland beat England. England is on pretty good form and they proved that with the match with India. So to be complacent in this match, with all that evidence, shows how badly India is managing.

With some very clever insight and marketing this would be a great time for the UAE to snare the Middle East markets in many things where previously other now not so stable countries were being used/considered. Agreed, several companies are setting up manufacturing facilities in the country which they wouldn't have previously. The only sticking point is the cost of labour. For companies that are labour intensive, the Gulf countries are not feasible at all.

For what its worth, a friend ( direct confirmation, not just friend of a friend thing) who works for a multinational, multi-services provider says their company is gearing up for an influx of at least a million people over the year into the UAE. They employ analysts all over the world and their market research points to Dubai picking up again. Not the 2007- 2008 levels but to years prior to that. A big customer of their's, Dubai's airline has upped their projections by 40 % for the year. Lots of new jobs in the market, just not the packages as before.[/quote hmm, projections keep people in jobs, or is that too cynical? Hmm, We're as cynical as they come, but when said projections are for production of perishable raw materials, which need to be in warehouses at least 2 months before actual use, then they can be relied on? Don't think anybody can make 40% increases without solid backing of data/trends.

It is walking distance, they'll have to walk through residential neighborhood to get there. Getting a taxi from the metro station would be going around a bit. The shopping centre is called just that - Karama shopping centre. Just ask taxi drivers to go to Sind Punjab or Karama Park. There is another place called the Karama centre which is also in the same area, so be sure to use the Karama Park reference. A map to the location: http://wikimapia.org/#lat=25.2414741&lon=55.3016245&z=17&l=0&m=b HTH

Thanks for all the info-have been trying to get BH to travel there with me forever-this might spur him on. Is it easy to organise day tours from the hotels once there? No kids involved. Also what time of year is best to go? Very easy to book tours from the hotels in Cappadocia. Just make sure you research online the current rates before you go as some hotels do tend to overcharge. If you don't want to book through hotels, just as easy booking direct at tour offices which are in town centre. We went in first half of June. The weather was pleasant, think by mid june being out in the sun would be too hot. 10 days in Turkey,you can do Cappadocia, Ephesus/Selcuk, Aphrodisias/ Pamukkale and Istanbul. Was one of the best holidays we've been on.

Tourism in Turkey is not geared towards kids. Turks love kids but there's not much to do/see that would interest kids.If your kids don't mind walking, and won't get too bored with history and scenery, then a week for Istanbul and Cappadocia is good. For Istanbul - other than the usual sights, try the sights mentioned in the link below - http://www.travelsavvymom.com/blog/five-favorites/istanbul-turkey-5-family-favorites/. We don't have kids but we did the Miniaturk and the Bosphorus cruise and there were plenty of very happy kids around ( basing that on the fact that there were no visible signs of tantrums and that kids were running around leaving parents to walk/sun in peace). Istanbul can be covered easily in 3 - 4 days without much hassle. I would advise staying in Sultanahmet. Public transport is easily available and long distances can easily be reached by ferries from the Sirkeci/Eminonu ferry station. Also check out the Toy Museum - http://www.istanbuloyuncakmuzesi.com/eng/kurumsal.asp. For Cappadocia - Goreme, Urgup, Avanos and Uchisar are the main tourist centres. Avanos is situated on the banks of a river and is a town based on pottery. Uchisar attracts more upmarket clientele and is generally quiet. Most tourists head to Goreme and Urgup. We generally prefer Goreme, as travel connections and tours seem to be more frequent there. There are flights from Istanbul to Kayseri in Cappadocia ( Turkish air, Onur Air and Pegasus Air - the latter two are from the Sabiha Gokce airport). From there, shuttle buses/taxi's/public buses are used to get to the towns you want. Kayseri to Goreme is a 45 minute minivan ride which cost us 17 Lira/ person. The scenery in Cappadocia is amazing. If your kids don't mind a bit of walking, then there are some easy hikes through some gorgeous valleys. Small streams, lots of caves to explore and funny shaped rock formations that kids are sure to be fascinated by. Also the underground cities of Kaymakli and Derinkuyu ( if claustrophobia is a problem, then I would strongly advise not going to these places) as well as Uchisar Castle and the Selime Monastery are great for kids to explore. In Avanos, the pottery places will let the kids try their hand at making stuff. There are a couple of tours that you can do that will pretty much cover all that is there to see in two days. Its not too tiring but some of the places to see in Cappadocia are flung out, so it will mean a bit of travel time in minivans. 3 days will be more than enough for a visit ( you can see pretty much everything in 2 days on the tours and we used the third day for hiking on our own and visiting couple of smaller villages and a caravanserai on the outskirts of Goreme). We stayed at the Aydinli Cave hotel. They are a small hotel with only 6 rooms so their service was very personalised. We got a double room for 60 euros. Their rooms and bathrooms are big. Only problem is the hotel is built into the side of a hill, so the climb to the higher rooms with a view can be a bit of a climb. Their breakfast on the terrace is great and has a great view. Their service is excellent, Mustafa, the owner makes sure that all your requests are accommodated. Sorry for the long post but hope this helps. Ask if you need any more help.
