100US$ MILLION:


Michael Phelps Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Cereal Box
— FIRST LOOK
Check out the prototype Kellogg’s Corn Flakes cereal box cover featuring ace swimmer Michael Phelps, the winningest Olympian of all time.

Let’s hope they switch it up for the real deal–that hand looks terribly Photoshopp-ed. But at least he’s starting to cash in on his $100 million dollar endorsement deals!

”[There will be] no Wheaties box this time around; it’s going to be Kellogg’s,” Phelps‘ longtime agent Peter Carlisle revealed to Access Hollywood.

No Wheaties box but Phelps, who scored a record-breaking eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, will appear on special edition cereal boxes this fall for both Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes.

RAMADAN 2008:

Astronomically, Ramadan to start on Sep. 1st.

Aug. 15th, 2008: The Astronomical New Moon for Ramadan is on Saturday, August 30th, and the first day of the holy month of Ramadan for the Hijri year of 1429 will be Monday, September 1st. 2008 while Eid Al-Fitr will be on October 1st, 2008, according to astronomists.

Researcher and supervisor of Sharjah Planetarium Ibrahim Al-Jarwan said astronomical calculations say the Hilal (crescent) will be born on August 30th. at 23:58 local time. Sighting of the new moon which will be born 23:58 local time after the sun sets at 18:38 local time will not be possible.

In Islam, Moon Sighting determines the beginning and ending of Ramadan.

"On Sunday, August 31st. the 18-hour old moon will disappear 18:54 and will be visible only for 16 minutes", he added.

The last day of the dawn-to-dusk fasting month will be on Tuesday, September 30 and therefore the Eid Al-Fitr, one of the two main religious festivals on the Islamic calendar will be on Wednesday, October 1st.
