The French: “The Americans? We’re going to smash them.” - Karma for the French?

~ Kass ~ asked:


Looks like the Americans smashed the French. Karma =)

I’m was glad to see that our wonderful American athletes representing the USA didn’t resort to such hateful un sportsmanlike comments.

Was that not one of the greatest moments in American Olympic history? Phelps, Cullen Jones, Garret Weber-Gale and Jason Lezak are great athelests who put the French in their spot.

Set among the crystal clear lakes and flowing waterways of the prestigious Jumeirah Lakes Towers development in Dubai, my ideal house redefines affordable luxury. Located strategically on Sheikh Zayed Road, my house is situated in close proximity to some of Dubai’s famous sports, leisure and recreational facilities including Emirates Golf Club, The Montgomerie and several luxury beach resorts. Prestigious landmarks such as the Burj Al Arab and the eighth wonder of the world, the Palm Jumeirah, are minutes away. Indigo colored glass, aluminum and white steel are combined to form an outstanding and unique concept in modern architecture. The roof and a majority of the outside of the tower is covered in solar panels, which supplies more than 50% of the building’s electricity needs. Soaring to an impressive 35 floors, my house rises majestically in the midst of an idyllic setting of tranquil waters and lush green lawns. The ground floor features appealing cafes and shops to entice tenants and visitors while manicured lawns, lakes and boulevards coalesce to ensure working in Indigo Icon is a delightful and productive experience. My house rises a magnificent 35-stories and is set among lush, green lawns and sparkling waterways; the perfect surroundings in which to conduct business. The residential part of the tower comprises 272 apartments in a combination of spacious studios, one, two, three-bedroom apartments, and duplex penthouses. Fully air-conditioned, the interior finishes are of the highest standard. Large balconies and terraces offer breathtaking views overlooking the picturesque lakes and wide expanses of lush greenery to the south and the Arabian Gulf and new Marina development to the north. The commercial part of the tower comprises 68 offices over 8 floors. The residential and commercial floors have separate entrances, ensuring residents have total privacy. This spectacular development offers impressive shopping and dining on the ground floor. Coffee shops look out onto landscaped gardens, all within a secure and peaceful community. Encompassing residential, office and retail outlets, this tower offers all the modern amenities and facilities including a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, cooker and dish washing machine; large lap pool / barbecue area; fully equipped gymnasium; Jacuzzi; bars; high-speed internet; six high speed lifts; 9 screen movie theater; and 24 hour security. The bank is in the basement level of the tower, but there are multiple ATMs on each floor. Every room is simply, but elegant and boasts many modern features. There are elevators and escalators situated on each floor, for easy access to the rest of the tower. My tower has a large undercover car park and additional spaces are provided for the exclusive use of tenants and their visitors. My tower even has an employees quarters. My part of the tower is one whole floor. It consists of all the normal rooms that you would expect in a house: a living room, den, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, office/workspace,and my bedroom. There’s even an entertainment center, library, and a game room. The living room and den have sofa sets, coffee tables, and TVs. The dining room has a very long table in it and has a red oak floor. The kitchen also has red oak floors, and it has all the high tech appliances in it. My bed room is very colorful and the walls are covered with various posters. My library is fairly small, but it has many books in it.

THANKS!!
