Robert Wills who snapped photos of the total collapse of the famous arch at Tennessee Beach called it “a spectacular event”.

The collapse of the arch lasted in less than 10 seconds.

Actress Cindy Lee Garcia Sues Producer Of ‘Innocence Of Muslims’

20 09 2012

Actress Cindy Lee Garcia who acted in the film, ‘Innocence of Muslims’ sues the film producer for fraud and slander.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula alias Sam Bacile is reported to be the producer.

She also named Google Inc and its YouTube unit as defendants, asked that the film be removed from YouTube and said her right to privacy had been violated.

The suit accuses Nakoula, Google and YouTube of invasion of privacy, unfair business practices, the use of Garcia’s likeness without permission and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

“This lawsuit is not an attack on the First Amendment nor on the right for Americans to say what they think, but does request that the offending content be removed from the Internet,” the lawsuit said.

Does the producer’s freedom of expression gives him the right to use and cheat the actress in expressing his freedom of speech?

And what about the rights of actress Cindy Lee Garcia?

I really pity the actress if she really was cheated by the producer.

And why did Sam Bacile cheated the actress if he thinks that it is okay to produce the ”hateful” film?

I agree with the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that freedom of expression should not be abused to provoke or humiliate some others’ values and beliefs.

The world will be a better place to live in if every body can try to be a better person and respect people around us.

The Golden Gate Bridge was opened to the public on May 27, 1937.

It was constructed from January 1933 to May 1937.

The bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the Golden Gate.

Golden Gate is the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean.

The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco to Marin County, California.

At 4,200 ft (1,280.2 m), it was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1964.

I have already went across the bridge when we visited San Francisco.

After that I visited the Fisherman’s Wharf to eat clam chowder :)

Special Presents From India

21 01 2011

On 21th Dec 2010, Uncle Nisar reached Kuala Lumpur from Singapore.

Uncle Nisar is my father’s friend from Palo Alto, California.

Uncle Nisar flew to Singapore from India.

He was on holiday in Ahmadnabad, India.

Uncle Nisar gave me two presents :)

The first was an Indian  shirt.

I was wearing the Indian shirt :)

I wore the shirt to my hadith’s class that night.

The second present was wrapped in an Indian newspaper.

A banana?

Before I unwrapped the present, I thought it was a banana.

But after I unwrapped it, I was very surprised because it was not a banana.

It's not a banana but it's a wooden car!

It was a hand made wooden car!

The car is very beautiful.

I really love the car!

The front view of the car.

And I like the shirt too because it is nice and comfortable.

The shirt is a bit too big; so I can wear it for a long time :)

Mexico Earthquake Pictures

5 04 2010

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck at 3:40 pm PT ( 6:40 pm ET )  on Sunday about 110 miles east-southeast of Tijuana, Mexico.

Earthquake is a natural disaster.

In Mexicali roads were cracked and buildings were damaged.

The electricity were cut off in Mexicali.

Mexicali is the capital of Baja California state in Mexico.

2 people were killed and about 100 people injured in the quake.

One man was killed because a building collapsed on him.

Another man was killed because he was hit by a car as he ran to the street from his house.

People in Arizona and southern California felt the earthquake.

There are aftershocks after the earthquake.

I hope that the aftermath of this earthquake won’t be as bad as in the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti and the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile.

California is in the Pacific Ring Of Fire.

I think people in the Pacific Ring Of Fire should build buildings that are strong and won’t be damaged by earthquakes.

Michael Jackson Died

26 06 2009

Micheal Jackson was the ‘King Of Pop’.

He was a very, very popular singer.

He was born in 1958 and died today in Los Angeles, California.

He collapsed and was taken to UCLA Medical Center.

Today I watched Michael Jackson’s video clip, ‘Thriller’ on You Tube.

I also saw Michael Jackson singing ‘Billie Jean’ on You Tube.

He wore one white glove, a glittering black jacket, a black magician hat, a pair of new black shoes and a pair of white socks.

He sang and danced and the audience sang and danced too.

He did his moonwalk and that was very nice.

Someone hold a sign board saying ‘King Of Pop’.

He changed his face to a woman’s face.

Michael Jackson broke down musical and cultural barriers his entire life.

Michael Jackson reportedly has converted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel.

His friends Phillip Bubal (Idris Phillips) and David Whamsby (Dawud Whamsby Ali) were with him at that time.
