DAMAC reinforces its presence in Egypt
Damac plans to launch three projects, Gamsha Bay located on the Red Sea, Park Avenue in 6th of October City as well as another exclusive project in New Cairo. 'We firmly believe in the Egyptian market's tremendous potential and this is why Egypt is well on the way to becoming one of our largest investment areas outside of Dubai,' said Mr Hussain Sajwani, Chairman and Founder of DAMAC Holding. 'The real estate sector in Egypt is booming and this is only the beginning. There is great scope for growth and we look forward to leading the way towards unparalleled standards in Egypt's real estate sector.' The Gamsha bay project marks DAMAC's first and largest project in Egypt. Taking place on an area covering 30 million square meters on the Red Sea, this mega leisure development offers residents a 39 kilometer coastline.
Hip Bowling -- Despite the Clown Shoes
Fortunately, we were able to get a lane right away at AMF's 300 Atlanta, but that may be because we came a little early in the evening. The setting hinted at a relaxed, grown-up experience -- the 39-lane center bills itself as "a strikingly different entertainment venue with upscale decor and amenities." But despite such touches as soft leather benches and a bistro-style lane-side dining menu, we found the atmosphere more reminiscent of a noisy disco. The background music -- a mix of hip-hop and Top 40 -- was unbearably loud. The food and drink, from a "smokehouse" barbecue sandwich to a "big bowl" margarita, was mediocre at best. And service was pokey -- we had to ask for that margarita twice before it finally came. At least the bowling experience itself proved unparalleled, with clean rental shoes, perfectly oiled lanes and an excellent selection of balls.
Coming soon: Movies on flash memory cards
Getting permission to build a library of high-quality content has been the bane of several would-be Blockbuster killers. Armstrong wouldn't divulge the name of the studios, but said they were major and well-known. "We will have them (movies) the same day and date as DVD," he said. The pricing will be about the same. Advantages over current models If the company can pull it off--and that remains a big if--PortoMedia potentially can short-circuit some of the problems and shortcomings of the various methods for delivering movies. First up is cost. Delivering movies via hard drives and flash memory eliminates many of the packaging and shipping expenses associated with DVDs. Shelf space at retailers now dedicated to discs is also freed up for other products. In addition, selection is improved.
Britney Spears' Driver's-License Case Postponed; Plus Hayden ...
Since Britney Spears isn't in control of her own affairs at the moment, she can't make a plea bargain in her driving-without-a-license case, a Van Nuys, California, judge decided Wednesday (February 20). Spears' attorney for the criminal case told the court that the singer's conservatorship attorneys don't feel she's capable of making an agreement, giving a deposition or signing a declaration at the moment, so Judge T.K. Herman continued the case until March 20. The misdemeanor charge stems from an incident in August in which Spears was videotaped hitting a parked car and leaving the scene without notifying the other driver (the hit-and-run charge was later dropped). Spears was denied visitation rights with her two sons in an unrelated hearing Tuesday. ... Hayden Panettiere must have absorbed someone's musical powers, because the "Heroes" star is putting out a debut album later this year on Hollywood Records.
Forth Road Bridge hack redirects to smut bazaar
Updated Hackers turned the Forth Road Bridge website into a filth jamboree after breaking into its systems to plant script designed to redirect surfers to a Turkish site hosting malware. According to Scottish security outfit Roundtrip Solutions the website of the Forth Estuary Transport Authority (www.feta.gov.uk), which runs the famous suspension bridge in central Scotland, was hacked in order to serve up pop-up ads for porn sites. Roundtrip used AVG's LinkScanner security tool to determine that hackers were taking advantage of the (old and a little obscure) MDAC-RDS ActiveX exploit to launch an iFrame HTML element taken from a website under the control of hackers. .
