Prayers go out to Jesse Ruiz..

Our prayers are with Jesse Ruiz of PAWS as he battles to recover from a terrible car accident. His dog was hit by a car and Jesse went to it's rescue only to be hit head on by another car. It is really too tragic. The PAWS Dog Show 2010 video clip shows Jesse doing what he loves most in the world, caring for animals. (I had previously put the video clip on here without knowing this very sad news) please get well soon Jesse.

FOR SALE

One of my readers suggested this and I think it's a good idea for expats especially, of course all are welcome to post items. I would just like to mention that I am not responsible for any transactions made on here. I also will remove any posts that are not legal, moral or lacking correct contact info. I think if we post as a 'comment' items for sale and see how it goes,  if I can come up with a more effective way of doing this I'll change it at a later date.
Don't forget to include a contact number or email address.

Traffic Week surprises..

Last night whilst driving on the Feheheel expressway my husband and I witnessed an odd occurrence. For the first time ever we actually witnessed a police car pull over some one for speeding. It was a joyous moment that almost had us stop and give them a standing ovation but we were on the motorway and were not at all sure how the police would react to that. Well done!

Sultan Art Gallery, Sabhan.

Date: 23rd March from 7-9pm til 25th March 4pm.

Sultan Gallery has the pleasure of inviting you to 'Ancestor’s Dust' an exhibition of clay works by visual artist Norma Isa Figueroa. Architect and historian, Figueroa derives inspirations from both fields to manipulate soft clay into tiles, imprinting them with images that seem to show up during the process.
In this exhibition, Figueroa’s work is infused with notions of the veil and the dichotomy of being the observer and the observed, in an effort to bring an awareness of the place women are placed, or place themselves, according to different agendas. As the media emphasizes the Muslim world, the hijab, a visual marker of difference, becomes the target of political projects. Depending on the discourse, the 'women of cover' are either oppressed women forced into submission or totally free in choosing their lifestyle.
