NO one on earth is better at ultra glam hair, make-up and nails than these girls.

I’ve done that one hour trip back then. I’m very grateful for that bridge. Since some arch style bridges have suspension features, I really think they ought to claim the New River Bridge to be the “Longest Suspensionless Bridge in the World”.
The King says build it, then it gets built. Nice and easy, huh?
Cool. The hills in WVa are pretty neat. The locals are laid back, polite and helpful for the most part. Old school politics and big business believe it or not. I love Marlington and the Greenbriar Valley / Greenbriar River. Tourons are eating it up (devouring & trashing) those areas now.
Commerce dollars, not oil dollars. They're already the shipping hub of the area, and have been making good progress at becoming the tourism, business, high-tech and banking hub too. It helps that they are very easy on the taxes. And in case the local scene disintegrates they have massive investments almost everywhere important in the world through the Dubai World company.
Check out the photo of the lovely engineer. You can see why I always say that women from that part of the world have the most beautiful eyes!
The irony is I’m on another thread debating with someone about the femininity of ME females.
He doesn’t think they know how to use it....
Man, didn't Dubai get the memo: women should be seen, and not very much at that, and not heard.
Mad Mo (piss be upon his head) will be most displeased.

I believe they’re building some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers in Dubai as well.
You’s guys might want to check out the other picture (4/5) on the photo gallery at the link.
That’s amazing!
The arch of the New River Gorge Bridge is below the bridge, and and spans the gorge where it is narrower farther down. The arch only spans 518 meters, so the builders of the bridge in China and now Dubai claim that their arch is longer. The proposed bridge in Dubai spans a far shorter distance than the bridge in West Virginia, and the part of the Chinese bridge that is supported by the main arch is also far shorter than the New River Gorge Bridge.
I should have known better considering that I've walked the catwalk under the New River Gorge Bridge quite a few times, and have rappelled from the bridge eight or ten times.
If I would have stopped to think about it a bit, I would have remembered the vertical supports that go down into the sides of the gorge before the start of the arch below.
Lookie here, trains, public transportation! An outrage against freedom!
In 1000 years, Dubai will be an abandoned wonder like the pyramids or Machu Picchu.
$400 billion a year from the U.S. to these folks buys a lot of cool things.
Every penny they spend on this stuff is a penny they don’t spend on terrorism!
no - the other picture of the transportation engineer - not as flattering
