LuLu's Bahrain: Stop crying, Start saving

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2008/01/stop-crying-start-saving.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Stop crying, Start saving. 1 Treat yourself like another entity and pay yourself first. 2 Automate your savings. Direct deposit is one way of ensuring you get your money safely into your account without worry. Without it, I tend to second guess myself wondering if I’ve received all my pay checks and whether I’ve deposited them all. Direct deductions are a superb way to channel money into savings. 3 Pretend you didn’t get a raise. If you were prepared to pay full price ...

LuLu's Bahrain: Al-Wefaq's Lost Compass

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/al-wefaqs-lost-compass.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. أكد الشيخ علي سلمان في خطبته بجامع الإمام الصادق في الدراز أمس، أن «الانفلات الأمني لا يخدم المصلحين، بل يخدم من لا يؤمن بمنهج الإصلاح، ويخدم طبقة لاتزال قوية ومتنفذة وسيزيد نفوذها بالانفلات الأمني، وسيحقق لها مكاسب استراتيجية عاشت عليها عقوداً وستكون سعيدة بأن يعود. So where do we go from here? People in this country have never been so disillusioned. I hope we get over this leadership crisis soon. Dec 30, 2007, 2:47:00 PM. Only God knows where we can go from here....

LuLu's Bahrain: We're a million: Math 101

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/were-million-math-101.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. We're a million: Math 101. So recently the government made an interesting non-announcement in parliament. Apparently, according to a statement by the Central [dis]Informatics Organization (CIO) to parliament, Bahrain's population finally reached a million. Now, setting aside the question as to why we remain in the dark when it comes to official statistical figures of the CIO, something just doesn't add up. If we go back to 2001, the official statistics were as follows:.

LuLu's Bahrain: Who killed Ali Jassim?

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/who-killed-ali-jassim.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Who killed Ali Jassim? I have to say that I tried my best to stay away from this issue, simply because as everyone else, I don't know all the facts. I don't know if tear gas can kill a person, and I don't really know if it was police brutality that killed Ali Jassim Makki. On 10 December 2005, Al-Wasat reported this about Ali Jassim:. This is really sad to read. Sometimes I wonder where we are heading or regressing to- especially as I've been away for 10 years. I total...

LuLu's Bahrain: Dancing Bush

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2008/01/dancing-bush.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Knowing me though, put your spoiler alert on:. For the opposition's open letter to Bush on the progress of reform, democracy, and human rights in Bahrain (don't ask me why it's in Arabic. maybe they saw the dance and assumed just a bitttt too much). You make a good point there. WHY is it in arabic? Jan 14, 2008, 8:44:00 AM. يمكن ما يعرفون انجليزي. Jan 14, 2008, 5:27:00 PM. Lulu and Ammar: it's a publicity stunt. nothing else can explain it.

LuLu's Bahrain: Secular Deamons

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/07/secular-deamons.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. So this has been the new "big thing "in Bahrain for the past couple of weeks. Shaikh Essa Qasem, head of the "Olama" Islamic Council. Had given a Friday sermon. At Al-Sadiq mosque in Duraz 2 weeks ago in which he deamonized "seculars" and "secularism" as enemies of Islam and of the people of Bahrain. "Down with the seculars! That followed, Shaikh Qassim continued to accuse the "seculars" of waging a war on Islam and called upon his followers to fight the "deamon.".

LuLu's Bahrain: Now this is what's wrong with us..!

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/07/now-this-is-whats-wrong-with-us.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Now this is what's wrong with us! These are taken from a "debate" on Al-Jazeera's Al-Ettijah Al-Mu'akis, between an "Islamist thinker and activist" and a secular "thinker and activist":. الديمقراطية في الشرق الأوسط. مقدم الحلقة: فيصل القاسم. ضيفا الحلقة: - سيد القمني/ مفكر علماني- هاني السباعي/ مدير مركز المقريزي للدراسات التاريخية. سيد القمني: ولد خليك محترم يا ولد. هاني السباعي: توب إلى الله اجري اعلن ما أنت أعلنت توبتك يا رجل من سنتين وسحبتها.

LuLu's Bahrain: To forgive and forget

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/05/to-forgive-and-forget.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. To forgive and forget. MP Salah Ali (Al Menbar Islamic bloc) said today. That it is in Bahrain's interest to "forget about" Bandar's. Report and just move on. On the same day, parliament voted down Ateyatallah. S questioning on the Bandar scandal. But this is not news. In 2002, decree law No. 56. In public statements of major pro-government Islamist parties (Al Menbar, Asala and Sa3eedi), the prevailing rhetoric is not just to deny government wrongdoing, but to accuse ...

LuLu's Bahrain: Support the campaign for justice

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/07/support-campaign-for-justice.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Support the campaign for justice. I stand by my initial position. And hope that Bahraini bloggers can contribute to supporting a movement for justice to all victims of abuse in Bahrain*. I think the concept of forgiving and forgetting has been repeatedly used and abused as a slogan to shelter violators of human rights in Bahrain such as Mr. Henderson. So, while this may seem like a small gesture in the grand scheme of things, the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights.

LuLu's Bahrain: Rule of Law?

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/06/rule-of-law.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Now the same person has decided to pull another antic. Why should the villager be fishing on "his" shore? And why bother with a professional fishing license and what not? Surely powerful people can exploit marine resources themselves? Our man announced today that he will. Abide by the law, if everyone else does. whatever than means? What next…… Block the Sun from the Village because it’s passing through his property first. Jun 12, 2007, 9:06:00 AM. There will be Minist...
