When I was a kid, I watched The Cosby Show. This is not surprising information: Basically every kid, every person, that I knew — black or white, but especially black — watched The Cosby Show. Older friends had the pleasure of watching the show during its original run; I was grateful for its existence in syndication, airing 24/7. It was on Netflix for a while, and now it's on Hulu. There is always a way to watch it. But yesterday, in the wake of the seemingly endless and horrifying rape allegations against Bill Cosby, TV Land pulled reruns of The Cosby Show. Earlier that day, Netflix pulled his stand-up special, Bill Cosby 77, which was set to air over Thanksgiving, and NBC axed his upcoming sitcom. The latter two decisions are not only understandable but absolutely necessary. The former is a bit trickier to dissect. … Read More

The 10 Greatest Lip-Sync Scenes in Pop Culture History
This weekend, the Bill Hader-Kristen Wiig dramedy The Skeleton Twins rolls out in limited release, and it's well worth a look. When I saw the film at Sundance earlier this year, I had one immediate thought: that lip-sync scene is gonna be huge on YouTube. It's part of a long tradition in pop culture, wherein a mood of camaraderie, eccentricity, or affection is established by having our characters throw themselves into a live, mimed performance of a recorded classic. These are a few of our favorites. … Read More
The 45 Best TV Shows You Can Only Stream on Hulu
In the ongoing Great Streaming Wars of 2014, Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Instant Video are constantly battling each other, making exclusive deals with networks, creating original programs, and just overall competing to host the best content. Hulu Plus has a clear advantage in that it has the most current-run shows available, yet it still often goes overlooked when it comes to older shows. But Hulu has plenty of those too — here are 45 TV shows on Hulu (some free, some with Hulu Plus) that aren't available on Netflix or… Read More
25 Great Sitcoms You Can Watch Right Now on YouTube
A few weeks back, we pointed you in the direction of some great movies streaming free on YouTube. Now, if you wanna watch free TV online without a Netflix or Hulu Plus membership, the proposition gets a little trickier — those copyrights are guarded a bit more zealously, and the viewing experience can be, to put it charitably, spotty. That's why sitcoms are so good for YouTube viewing; as long as you have a passing familiarity with the characters, it's easy to sample an episode here and there on a lunch break and not have to worry about serialized arcs and continuity issues. Here are some of the best sitcoms in television history that have at least a handful of episodes on… Read More
10 Legendary TV Halloween Parties
Do you like Halloween parties? Or are you the kind of person who prefers to celebrate at home, watching horror movies with friends or handing out candy to trick-or-treaters? Well, thanks to the magic of television, you can (virtually) do both — experience all the fun of a great shindig with none of the effort. TV has brought us no shortage of spooky and hilarious Halloween parties over the years. Relive ten of our favorites, from How I Met Your Mother's legendary "slutty pumpkin" party to Buffy's demonic frat party, after the jump. … Read More
TV Sitcoms' Most Boundary-Breaking Families
Despite a shaky start, we have high hopes for The New Normal, which officially debuted last night on NBC (tonight, the series' second episode will air in its regular Tuesday time slot). As discussed in our fall preview, we felt the pilot a touch too didactic and the characterization teetering on offensive, but we're hoping these things even out because the show's talented cast, inclusive premise, and promise for sitcom-defying weirdness promise to far outweigh the bad. If you've followed TV news the past month, then you've probably heard about the backlash from One Million Moms, and then of course the Salt Lake City NBC affiliate's decision not to air the show, behavior not entirely unusual in the scheme of TV sitcom history.
When networks have introduced "new normals" in decades past, the initial response wasn't always warm — nor was the execution always perfect. But bit by bit, the sitcom has evolved, eroding the notion that a family can only look one way, and we hope the pattern continues. Click through for an abridged looked at some of these most boundary-breaking families, from the Ricardos on through the Lear era, and to the "anti-family" shows of the late '80s that cleverly left us fumbling for a firm handle on what it means to be "normal" anyways. … Read More
10 TV Shows That Would Make Great Theme Parties
It's officially springtime, folks! If you're anything like us, you may or may not have exploited the, "I can't come out tonight, it's too cold outside" excuse to hole up all winter and indulge in Downton Abbey and Community marathons, and now you're ready to face the spring warmth as a social butterfly. But what should you do with the vast, invaluable TV knowledge you acquired over your Netflix hibernation period? Throw a party, of course! But not just any party — a Mad Men or Freaks and Geeks-style bash. We brought you movies and albums that would make great party themes, and now we've gathered ten TV shows that will similarly get the party started. … Read More
Flavorpill's Zagat-Style Guide to TV's Best Thanksgiving Episodes
Thanksgiving is upon us, and it's high time to enjoy all of our favorite yearly traditions: the turkey, the stuffing, the pumpkin pie, the awkward family encounters, pretending to care about football… and, most of all, that venerable standby of episodic television, the Thanksgiving show. As best as we can determine, the first weekly series to do a Thanksgiving-centered episode was The Burns and Allen Show, back in 1951; Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, Make Room for Daddy, and Mr. Peepers quickly followed suit, realizing that a Thanksgiving show offered plenty of fodder for conflict, resolution, and warm holiday cheer. We've selected ten of our favorite Thanksgiving episodes — and in the culinary spirit of the holiday, we present them in the ever-popular Zagat's dining guide format, because why not? Check 'em out after the jump and add your own in the comments. … Read More
An Ode to 10 Pop Culture Sandwiches
It's National Sandwich Day! That means it's the 293rd birthday of John Montagu, or as he is more popularly known, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. His legacy is creating the glorious food item (food group, really), in which we stuff many things betwixt two slices of bread. This would later become bastardized by the invention of Hot Pockets and other sloth-friendly grub. In honor of this great day, we give you our ode to pop culture sandwiches past the break. Leave us your favorites — or favorite sandwich fixins so we can all consider new things to stuff our maws with, Liz Lemon style — below. … Read More
Television's Most Memorable Living Rooms
TV sitcoms are all about family. Even if the characters aren't related by blood, friends and enemies alike still form bonds on the small screen for our viewing pleasure. They're a tribe. Network shows provide someone for families to identify with, gawk at, and be envious of — all in the comfort of their own home. While technology has certainly made it possible to watch your favorite TV shows from just about anywhere, most families who loaf together with a little boob tube do so in their living room (or as it is sometimes aptly dubbed, the family room). Over the years there have been many famous TV living rooms where we watched our favorite characters grow up, share valuable life lessons, make us laugh, and more. Click through to revisit some of television's most iconic living rooms, and recall what made them special. Who would you add to the list? … Read More

CUs, Schools Join Hands
School Branches
Credit Unions Gain Young, Loyal Members; Kids Learn Financial Literacy, Job Skills
Credit unions in schools in one form or another are an encouragingly frequent occurrence in Michigan. The Great Lakes State leads the nation with 35 credit unions operating some 200 branches inside elementary, high schools and colleges. These inschool branches' sole purpose is not to harvest a crop of profitable future clientele. On the contrary, education and credit union professionals say these facilities teach many valuable lessons — including how young people can avoid becoming adult bankrupts.
E&A CU (BW) in Port Huron and CP FCU (JA) in Jackson are two credit unions addressing the same focus from different angles.
E&A CU works with youth from elementary through high school. The credit union hosts a variety of programs, including an education session that involves students on a subjective level with finances, budgeting and various products and services.
"Students receive an academic grade for the co-op as well as a wage and great job experience," explains Marketing Director Andrea Serra. "We also have a youth program because it's vital to teach children the importance of their credit history when they have the time to make the right choices.
"We go into the schools and hold classroom seminars. We have activities, exercises and take home lessons to show the importance of saving, budgeting and how to make the most of their finances."
The cornerstone of the credit union's financial education program is its satellite branch located inside the St. Clair County Regional Education Service Agency campus in Marysville, near Port Huron. In between class sessions, students can be seen depositing paychecks or making withdrawals while inside the school. The satellite branch is a
dedicated facility that opened in 1996 and gives member students and staff the opportunity to access their finances three days a week from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
What makes the satellite a unique tool for teaching is it's an opportunity for students to become part-time and eventually full-time employees of the credit union. The satellite is staffed by both a fulltime and student teller. Students interested in becoming tellers must receive faculty approval, fill out an application and undergo an interview process which mirrors the one used for a traditional applicant.
"I really wanted to learn about accounting and my teacher suggested I apply, so I did," said Student Teller Mai Her. "Working at the satellite branch was difficult at first but I got the hang of it in about a week. Most of the transactions I do are small withdrawals under $20 and depositing payroll checks from after-school jobs."
Currently, E&A employs five former student tellers full-time and has employed 10 since the program's inception. "Working at this credit union or another is something I could see myself doing," said Her. "I've learned a lot, not just about how to work here, but about money and savings. One thing I wish everyone could learn is that debit cards can be a little dangerous if not handled properly. I learned that early on while working here."
The in-school concept has been launched for a younger age group in Jackson County. CP FCU began operating in-school branches in 1991 and leads the nation with 17 elementary school branches. The credit union uses laptop computers and portable stands and has established "Credit Union Days" at different schools.
Students are allowed to open their own accounts complete with monthly statements for parents and incentive programs for frequent depositors."Students are eager to remind their parents about Credit Union Day," said Education Specialist Kelly Hatler. "Mom and dad usually give them a couple of dollars and kids are really excited to deposit that money, or money earned from doing chores or for birthdays."
"The Credit Union Day concept is effective because it introduces students to the idea of building a habit to save," said Financial Education Specialist Susan Young. "We build positive habits by repeating the action over and over. By having Credit Union Day each week, the students are not only learning the important life skill of making sound money decisions, but also the good habit of saving. It's exposing them to many of the money management skills they may otherwise not have a chance to learn." During Paragon Charter Academy's Credit Union Day, the credit union is staffed by fellow students. Students staff every role that can be found at a traditional credit union. The marketing team
creates posters and commercial skits encouraging classmates to participate in credit union day.
"It's really hard to learn to do but it's fun," said 11-year-old Teller Josh Snyder. "It took about two weeks for me to learn how to be a teller before I got good at it. You have to be prepared at the beginning of the workday or it becomes a total mess."
CP FCU also operates a 5th and 6th grade check book program in addition to portage branches at 14 area high schools. "It's a great program for the kids, it's a lot of fun and the kids get a lot out of it," said Financial Education Representative Karen Vohlken."The children are usually very excited to work and it's neat to see them learning a lot of practical skills in a hands-on way — which I guess is the best way."
In order to build off the success of CP FCU, E&A CU and numerous other Michigan credit unions, the MCUL Family Involvement Council has developed a Student Branch Manual that is being used around the country as a guideline for establishing and operating in-school branches. The manual contains a number of local success stories, step-by-step instructions and copy ready forms and is available at http://www.mcul.org/Family_Involvement_Council_654.html.
The days of teachers devoting all of their time to the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic may be numbered. Schools, with the assistance of credit unions and other outside resources, are looking to teach students practical life skills as well. The job seeker of the future will not only be armed with an education, but the money management skills necessary to put his or her money to good use.
According to the latest data available from CUNA, the following Michigan credit unions operate student branches:

With a population of just over 50,000, Fredericton is the smallest city in the walkable index. It's also one of the safest, with only 25 pedestrian-vehicle accidents recorded in 2007. That's no small stat, given that with two local universities and one of eastern Canada's mildest climates, walking per capita rivals that of larger cities.
Late last year, the city signed the International Charter of Walking, as well as created its own version. The local government's commitment to travel by foot yielded running and walking clubs and almost a 10-per cent increase in resident use of the city's 85 km of multi-use trails. "Today, an impressive 86 per cent of locals use the city trails," notes Stephen Hartman.
In addition to its natural resources (such as urban forests and a river that draws people to its banks), "Fredericton is also based on a grid pattern with a walkable downtown," says Mitchell—two catalysts that make the city's recent Trails and Bikeways Masterplan a realistic target by 2026.

The Chrysler Group LLC Sterling Heights (Mich.) Assembly Plant
(SHAP) was once scheduled to close by the end of 2010 as an aspect
of court-approved reorganization of the company. Today, not only is
the plant -- home of the all-new 2011 Chrysler 200 and Dodge
Avenger -- still very much open for business, it is receiving a
brand new, state-of-the-art paint shop, expected to be completed by
the end of 2012 ... talk about a comeback story.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held at SHAP today, where Chrysler Group's Vice President and Head of Assembly Operations Fred Goedtel, Congressman Gary Peters (D-MI), Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, Sterling Heights Mayor Richard Notte, Executive Administrative Assistant to General Holiefield ,Tim Bressler, Sterling Heights Assembly Plant Manager, Tyree Minner, and other invited guests showed their support for the construction of the 500,000-square-foot paint shop.
The project marks the fulfillment of an $850 million investment in SHAP and two local stamping plants in Sterling Heights and Warren (Mich.) that was pledged by Chrysler Group in October 2010.
Sterling Heights Mayor Richard Notte noted that $850 million dollars is the largest investment in a Sterling Heights property in city history and all of the distinguished guests' speeches reinforced the significant and positive meaning of this addition to SHAP for the city of Sterling Heights, Chrysler Group LLC and for the automotive industry.

The Myth of Muslim Spain as a Model of Coexistence for Today
Muslims ruled the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) or part of it for some 800 years from 711-1492.There is the idea in the West,based on lack of serious investigation by journalists and by the claims of Muslim intellectuals that Muslim rule there was a "model for today".
An example of tolerance,peaceful coexistance and harmony.They call it the "Spirit of Al-Andalus".Al-Andalus was the name the Arabs gave to the peninsula.They even say:"Let us get back the Spirit of Al-Andalus."
The Book "Ornament of the World:How Muslims,Jews and Christians created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain"(2002) by Maria Rosa Menocal
The book has that theme,Muslim Spain at its best is a model for today for how Muslims,Jews and Christians should coexist.She shows ignorance of the Koran since she never cites that the Koran curses Jews and Christians till the Day of Judgement.A clear example of intolerance.She is a professor of Spanish and Portuguese in Yale,she is not a historian,nor an expert on religion.And she has obviously failed to do basic investigation.
Allah cursing the Christians
Chapter 5:14:
"And with those who say "We are Christians" We took compact; and they have forgotten a portion of that they were reminded of. So We (Note:Allah) have stirred up among them enmity and hatred, till the Day of Resurrection."
Allah cursing the Jews
Chapter 5:64:
"They (Note:the Jews) have said, "God's hand is fettered." Fettered are their hands, and they are cursed for what they have said. No, but His hands are outspread; He expends how He will. And what has been sent down to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in insolence and unbelief;
and We (Note:Allah) have cast between them enmity and hatred, till the Day of Resurrection. As often as they light a fire for war, God will extinguish it. They hasten about the earth, to do corruption there; and God loves not the workers of corruption."
She also doesn't mention the Koran never condemns slavery
It encurages freeing slaves,but there is never a condemnation of slavery in principle,if only implicitly.In fact one law in the Koran says to free a slave if he asks for it,but only if the master thinks the slave deserves it.The principle of slavery itself is approuved.
Chapter 24:33:
"And let those who find not the means to marry be abstinent till God enriches them of His bounty.
1.Those your right hands own(Note:euphemism for slaves) who seek emancipation, contract with them accordingly,
2.If you know good in them; and give them of the wealth of God that He has given you.
And constrain not your slave-girls to prostitution, if they desire to live in chastity, that you may seek the chance goods of the present life. Whosoever constrains them, surely God, after their being constrained, is All-forgiving, All-compassionate."
In fact she doesn't mention in her book the following:
1.That it was the Muslim custom to send an army every year from Cordoba,the Muslim capital,to capture Christian men as slaves and Christian women as sex slaves.
2.That non-Muslim women in the ornament of the world were treated worse that Muslim women.The caliph of Spain in Cordoba,in the 10th century,had a harem of 5,000 Christian women as slaves for sexual purposes.
You see that in other cases:the Moghul emperor Akbar of India,who was Muslim most of his life had a harem of 5,000 Hindu women,his sucessor Jahangir had one of 6,000 Hindu Muslim,the Moroccan king Moulay Ismail (early 1700's) had a harem of 500 Christian and non-Muslim African women.
In fact she doesn't mention at all the fact that it is authorized in the Koran 4 times:
a)Chapter 33:50
b)Chapter 23:1-7
c)Chapter 70:27-31
d)Chapter 4:23-24
3.That only non-Muslims could be slaves and were slaves but not viceversa.
4.She never condemns,in her book,which states over and over again how great Muslim rule was,the penalty by death if one criticized Muhammad and the Koran.A great culture of tolerance indeed.
An Apercu(Overview) of Muslim History in Spain
It lasted from 711 till 1492
1.From 711 till 929:
The peninsula was part of the Abbasid Empire,its capital being Bagdad.
2.From 929-1031:
It was an independant caliphate,with Cordoba as its capital.The Caliph had an impressive library of 400,000 books,the biggest in Europe,and there were 70 libraries in Cordoba.There was a time when the caliph was a puppet and it was really ruled by the strongman called Al-Mansur (938-1002).He practically conquered the entire peninsula.He:
1.Led 50 raids of destruction against the Christians in the north for 20 years to get slaves and booty.He destroyed a number of towns and cities.
2.He destroyed the church of Santiago de Compostela in 997,a place of pilgrimage,but respected what is said to be the tomb of St.James,the brother of John the Evangelist.
The period from 711-1031 is supposed to be "the best" one,"the ideal one",the one put forth as a model for today.
End of the Caliphate
It lasted for 100 years from 929-1031.Afterward it split into little kingdoms called taifas.In 1066 practically all the 4,000 Jews of Granada were massacred.It was the first pogrom of the Jews in Europe.Later a group of fanatical Muslims from Morocco entered and took over.
The Almoravids (1086-1147)
They were a fanatical group who entered Muslim Spain from Morocco and persecuted Christians and Jews.Many fled to Christian Spain.In 1033 6,000 Jews had been massacred in Fez,Morocco,the whole Jewish community.The Amoravids made half of the peninsula part of their Moroccan Empire.
The Almohads (1147-1269)
They were even more fanatical and also came from Morocco,they had conquered the Almoravids in Morocco and persecution and death of Christians and Jews increased alot.With them a part of Spain was also part of Morocco.
The Battle of Navas de Tolosa (1212)
Undeniably one of the turning points in history.The Muslims under the Almohads decided to destroy the Christian power once and for all.The kings of all the peninsular kingdoms (Castille,Portugal,Navarre and Aragon) joined together.In the battle 100,000 Muslims were killed or captured.
After that nothing stopped the Christians.City after city was captured.All of Portugal was free by 1250,and Cordova and Seville fell.By 1275 90% of all the peninsula was out of Muslim control.The reconquest was in effect over.
The Nasrid Kingdom of Granada (1232-1492)
Since it has helped the Christians it was allowed to exist,ad it did till 1492.It was then that they built the beautiful Alhambra ("the red one"),the king's palace,so-called since red stone was used.It is very plain and unimpressve ont the outside but beautiful inside.
The king of Castille was impressed by Muslim architecture and he had his palace built in the Muslim style around 1360.He was king Pedro I and his palace is called the Alcazar of Seville.Alcazar mean "the palace" inArabic.It was built by Muslim craftsmen and it looks almost exactly like the Alhambra.Click here to see pictures of it:
Converting to Islam
It is believed that about 80% of the people in Muslim Spain were Muslim by the 9th-10th century due to mass conversion.When the Spaniards,Catalans and Portuguese reconquered vast areas from 1075-1275,in 200 years,they conquered many Muslims.
There was never wholesale persecution of the Muslims like under the Almoravids and Almohads against the Christians.Yet by 1475,or in 200 years practically all those people had become Christian.In 1475 the vast majority of the Muslims were in the kingdom of Granada (population:300,000).Virtually all in that kingdom were Muslim while out side there were some 8 million non-Muslims in the rest of the peninsula.
The Christian Martyrs of Cordoba (850-055 AD)
Some 50 Christians were executed for criticizing Muhammad and the Koran.But that is not all,we have documentary evidence that people in the Golden Age of Muslim Spain were executed only because they had left Islam,they had not even criticized it.Read it,it's very moving indeed.
The Myth about Maimonides (1138-1204)
He was the greatest Jewish philosopher of the Middles.He is put up as an example of Muslim tolerance in Spain.In fact his family had to flee Muslim Spain because of persecution of the Jews.They went to Morocco where they had to flee again because of Muslim intolerance.They finally found peace in Muslim Egypt.
He wrote the Guide to the Perplexed and a commentary on Mosaic law called the Mishna Torah.There is the saying:"From Moses to Moses there is none like Moses".In his Letter to the Jews of Yemen he called Muhammad "Ha Meshuga" which means "the crazy man".The disdain with which he held Islam is not mentioned in Menocal's book due to her lack of knowledge.For more details:
The Myth of Averroes (1126-1198)
He was the greatest Arab philosopher of all time but what they don't tell you is he was also a religious jurist who wrote a manuel for Muslim judges where he says to kill those who leave Islam.Menocal never mentions it either,lack of knowledge.For more:
Other Famous Figures:
Here I deal only with those who lived in Muslim Spain,not the intellectuals and writers who were in Christian Spain (the author of The Cid,the great poet Juan Ruiz,the Catalan philosopher and writer Raymond Lull,etc).That is another story.We have:
1.Abulcassis (931-1013)
A great physician and he can be considered the father of modern surgery,he invented many surgical techniques and instruments.
2.Ibn Hazim (994-1064)
He was a poet famous for his love poems in "The Dove's Necklace".He also wrote a book against Christianity where he show great ignorance,similar to Ahmed Deedat.
2.Judah Halevi (1075-1140)
He was the greatest Jewish poet of the Middle Ages.His masterpiece is "The Kuzari",in Arabic.From 750-1000 the rulers of the kingdom of Khazar,a Turkic-language kingdom (near the Caucasus) were Jewish,they had converted to Judaism,maybe the common people had also,scholars debate the point.His work has the king examine the claims of 4 persons:a Christian,a Muslim,a philosopher and a Jew as to which has the truth.He decides for Judaism.
The Case of Frederick II (1194-1250)
He was the most powerful monarch in Europe,the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire,a very brilliant man,an intellectual.He was called Stupor Mundi,"the Wonder of the World".Analysing him all indicates he did not believe in Christianity.Now at his court:
1.He had 20 Muslim women from age 20 to 40 at his court in Sicily who he said were his servants.
2.People said he had a harem,they were his women slaves for sexual purposes.
Alot of historians believe it is true.The point is that not even the most powerful man in Europe could openly say:"I have sex slaves".Why?Because it would cause a moral scandal,it was unacceptable.Contrast that with society accepting 10,000 Christian women,sex slaves by the Caliph in Muslim Spain.
It shows women in Christian Spain and Europe had a higher status and respect.
The Myth of who is Responsible for Transfering New Knowledge to Europe
You hear it all the time:"Europe owes Muslims the transfer of Greek and Arab science and philosophy in the Middle Ages."It is not true.The Muslims,on their own initiative learned the science and philosophy of the Greeks and the science of the Indians.Again it was on their own initiative.So nobody ever says:"The Muslims owe the transfer of Greek and Indian science to the Greeks and Indians".Nobody.
In the same way the phrase "Europe owes Muslims the transfer of Greek and Arab science and philosophy in the Middle Ages" is a myth.Muslims didn't say "let us translate all this into Latin",no more than Greek and Indians said:"Let us translate our knowledge into Arabic."
The Toledo School of Translation
It is the Europeans themselves who have the merit.They were the ones who had the idea,not the Muslims.Toledo was captured by the Spaniards in 1085 and made the capital.For the next few centuries the king and others ordered the translation of Arabic works into Latin.
The most famous of the translators was the Italian Gerard of Cremona (1114-1187) who translated 70 scientific works.After him we have John of Seville (12th century),a Jewish convert to Christianity.
What if Spain Today treated its Muslims like Muslim Spain treated its Christians?
Let us have Al-Andalus today in Spain and since the rulers are non-Muslim how would Spain's 1 million Muslims be treated?There would be:
1.Legal slavery for Muslims by non-Muslims but not viceversa.
2.Non-Muslims can have Muslim women slaves for sex,but not viceversa.
3.Muslims who preach Islam are to be executed.
4.People who convert to Islam are to be executed.
An Example of giving a False View of Reality
In the BBC documentary "When the Moors ruled Spain" there is absolutely nothing of what I have stated,nothing.It shows the BBC is not as good as it should be,it can't be relied on for everything.
What is the Muslim Legacy in Spain?
Apart from the Alhambra and what is left of the mosque of Cordoba there is virtually nothing,except for flamenco dancing.
1.Political Legacy:
The Portuguese and Spaniards owe their ideas of democracy from the Greeks,not the Muslims.
2.Legal System:
They owe it to the Romans.The Romans established the principle of "all are equal before the law".In Islamic law non-Muslims are less equal than Muslims.In Roman law monogamy was the law,not polygamy.
They say there are 4,000 Arab words in Spanish.If there are then the vast majority are hardly used,I know what I am talking about.Some are common words in several European languages like alcool,quimica(chemistry),algoritmo,algebra.Others are common only in Spanish like aceite (Arab for oil),aceituna(Arab for olive).Others exist but are virtually dead like alcazar (Arab for "the palace").Nobody uses it anymore,everybody says palacio.
In short Spanish and Portuguese and Catalan are not 50% Arabic,50% Latin.They are not hybrid tongues like English (50% French) and Swahili (50% Arab,50% Bantu).
To verify the Koranic citations go to quranbrowser.com, which has:
1.Six translations by Muslims.
2.Four translations by Non-Muslims.
3.The text in Arabic,with Latin letters.

Have found this page after a few months ago my wife and I enjoyed the stories and decided to send us the truth. It happened two years ago when we were on holiday in Portugal. We befriended a boy named Eddie, who was vacationing with her fulltubemovies two teenage children. His wife suffered lasted a few days before he had to leave, but insisted he go to so that children can not be missed. You were there for a week before coming to Eddie showed us all the best bars and will give advice for the trip. Of course, if we do not agree with him, we started discussing what to say it must be like to go on holiday alone with two children. We had one night fulltubemovies bed and Sue, my wife was masturbating slowly, "Eddie has his wife's disappearance," he said. I agreed and said I should do something silly, but it must be difficult with children. " If I can help out ?" Said she, laughing. My cock almost burst and I push him to his knees and slid my cock for her. She was soaked andI asked if the idea of turning. She said it was and by the way, I was pumping like I've become a. He soon shot my load in the stomach when he was running in torrents. We talked about it for fulltubemovies a while and decided to do the next day, Eddie had only 2 days. The next afternoon we were in the pool with Eddie, the children were swimming and I had a beer. It was the 04th 00 hours, and I said to our room for a nap. Sue said she would stay for a while and get a little more, so I went to the room and lay in bed reading, I must have slept for a while, and when I woke up fulltubemovies was Sue has not yet returned, although only been around an hour left. I took my new book, when Sue was a knock at the door. I opened it and quickly came to smile. " Well, since you ran, he has to fuck "? I asked. "I would say he did, I was pumping like a damn bull," he said. I said I did not believe him, so he took me to fulltubemovies the bathroom, took off his pants and got into the shothat. She showed me her bikini bottom wrapped in a towel, then bent a little and told me to do. Then a huge load of thick sauce splashed in the shower, fulltubemovies " this is Eddie, I have kept for fulltubemovies show," he said. He grabbed my arm and dragged her to the bedroom and knelt down, put on my shorts and slid my cock pussy pain until I had to tell, in fact, it could make a powder. I pumped like never before so I could not speak I turned around and I just heard Sue told me that Eddie was desperate for a fuck and how she almost fulltubemovies sucked him before he retired and began to fuck her ass. fulltubemovies She said he yelled as he shot his load and nearly blew his head. With probably the biggest load of bull in my life. Eddie saw later that night, but nothing is mentioned, and when Sue and I went to bed, took almost all night talking about Eddie and the size of your penis and how much he had cum shot. The next day was Eddies output, and said he would fulltubemovies come and say goodbye as they were collected as a clock by 10. I told Sue, I would like to see the bedroom door as she sucked in the classroom. In 90-30 knocked Eddie and Sue to tell her I had gone for a newspaper. Eddie thanked him for letting his shit and said it was the best he could. Sue opened his pants and fulltubemovies pulled them down to the ankles, "I'll give a gift to leave," he said, and fell to his knees and started sucking cock as hard. I must admit, it looked bigger than mine, but it could be because I was looking to fulltubemovies jerk off on its axis and murmour while sucking his cock back. She took his cock from her mouth and looked at him: "You can shoot his load on my face and mouth, as long as there is no great burden, as yesterd

It's always been a dream of mine to attend the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. I watch it on TV every year, and have always wanted to experience it first-hand. You know, instead of watching it on my couch while consuming a pint of ice cream.
Yesterday, I came close to realizing that dream when I covered rehearsals for the annual event. The actual show — which will be filmed for the annual CBS special that will air Dec. 10 at 10 p.m — takes place tonight, but for those of you who don't have tickets, here's some behind-the-scenes intel on what the Angels have planned for this year's lingerie extravaganza.

It's the weekend...how is it going for you? The board is quiet!
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 09-21-2013 - 7:38pm
How is everyone and what might everyone be doing this weekend? We are preparing for a little trip to a place called Fairmont Hot Springs in British Columbia which is an almost 4 hour drive from here. My sister and BIL are going to be at a time-share condo there for a week and we are joining them for three days beginning on Monday. They have a two bedroom condo, and a kitchen included.
Otherwise, I am mostly done making a couple of cartoon drawings for children to colour at an event at the train club my Dh belongs to, all happening next weekend. This has become an annual event. The city of Airdrie (where the train club is located) has a two week event of the arts and part of the train club's participation is to offer free rides for the public for the whole weekend and in the train station's room we set up tables and allow children to colour and draw if they wish. I've made two drawings for this year.... usually I feature a train of some kind and a few cartoon animals in the drawing. I wasn't planning to make two drawings but it just so happened that way, so we'll make copies of both.
So that's what I've been up to this weekend...aside from doing some grocery shopping.
|Sat, 09-21-2013 - 11:41pm
Its going well enough. I've been keeping busy....on Friday I took care of some tasks for dh in preparation for a business trip he is about to take. Spent about 30 minutes on research then an hour in Customer Support chat with his cell phone provider to add international voice calling...for 2 days of service. Oh well, if he needs it, he needs it. Getting other business-related tasks taken care of too in advance of his absence.
On Saturday I spent the morning in the garden, besides the usual watering I was harvesting, and pulling out summer plants that are not producing. Some of the plants like zucchini will probably keep producing for a couple months more.
I'm taking dh to the airport on Sunday around 9:30am, he'll fly to El Salvador for a couple of days, then on to the Dominican Republic (via Miami) for a couple of days. The return flight took him to JFK so he decided to spend the weekend in NYC to see dd. He'll arrive back here next Sunday night. Sounds like an interesting trip--he will be inspecting a fabric mill and a clothing factory to certify that they are safe for an "anti-sweat shop" verification organization.
We're not commemorating the last day of summer in any way, but I could go make a Pimm's Cup to be festive....and it does feel like Fall here, which is really nice.
|Sun, 09-22-2013 - 9:21am
It is beginning to feel & look like Fall here-though maybe not quite so cool (shhh-I didn't actually say that did I? Don't want it to get cooler!)
Our weekend has been busy-doing a variety of tasks-I spent yesterday, stacking wood. Mike had brought up some of the wood he'd cut earlier in the year. Dead trees down the property, cut up & just left to finish drying out-they go to the back of the stack, so that's what I did-in the rain. (The Pugs, who feel they belong with me, were not happy-they kept trying to shake off the rain-it kept coming down-they kept shaking. Finally-on my last trip out-they just looked at me, no way they were following me THAT time). And if the 2 dummies had just finished following me-I was working under a roof. But I guess they preferred to be pathetic!
Today-the sun is out-so I will hang out laundry & do what Elspeth is doing-pull out some of the garden. I have tomatoes still, but most of everything else is finished. Mike will help me wind up the netting for the pea vines. And the roses (etc)need to be dead-headed-but not to be covered yet. I have ferns & hostas coming this week for those shaded areas where nothing else will grow(I've had coleus in there-but those are only annuals). Even though I don't expect to be here next summer-I still want it to look good. Plus Mike is planning to bring up more wood-so that must be stacked. He's been busy trying to finish some work in the basement-though I suspect will be glad to get outside today.
Our biggest news is that we've managed to sell Adam's hospital style bed. We tried to give it away-finally listed it for sale at less than 1/10 its value-& it did sell. I'll be glad to have it out of that room-it's like a reminder that he is gone, & I hated it. Now we have the w/c, something else we could not give away, so have listed on line for a nominal fee. (He had 2 wheelchairs-the one at Community Living we just left for them to use as a backup for someone-but this one, the good one?-can't give it away.)
I have knitting to do & finish up before I can begin the Christmas knitting I've assigned myself. So our weekend is busy enough-but quiet enough too. Mom was here Tuesday to Thursday this past week,and she spent a few hours at my sister's yesterday. I don't think she likes the thought of us moving-but she does understand the reasoning of it.
|Sun, 09-22-2013 - 12:15pm
Hmmm...what is a Pimm's Cup, Elspeth? Yes, today is the first day of Fall. It looks like fall here... many trees' leaves have turned yellow...some trees' leaves have begun to fall. The Brandon elm trees in our community don't usually turn a nice colour...they just turn brown and the leaves (they are small) fall. Some trees take longer to turn colour...like our ornamental apple tree's leaves are still green, so too the Swedish Columnar aspen trees in our backyard. They all have a different schedule to turn into their fall colours. And when I drove to the mountains to Susanne's last week, few trees have turned their brilliant yellow colour there...some but not a lot in the mountains themselves. I don't know if it has anything to do with our weather which has been wonderfully warm and mostly sunny for September. It's been great and we are thankful for that since our warm summer weather took a while to get going this year - we had some chilly periods and then there was the flood. Once October arrives here, I don't hope for much in the way of lovely weather. It turns cooler but if the leaves all fall (maybe it will be later this year?) anyway everything looks terribly drab and well, we sometimes do get snow earlier in the season! Actually when I was in Canmore, one day it rained a lot and the next day was beautifully clear and sunny. The clouds which had been covering the upper regions of the mountains the day before in the rain (actually you couldn't even see the mountains they were so covered with cloud) had dissipated with the sunshine to reveal that the tops of the mountains had a new fresh layer of snow! It rains in the valley below but it was cold enough higher up to produce snow. I love seeing that new snow on the mountain tops at this time of year.
We have not had a frost overnight yet. As a result, my flowers in my pots and boxes are still blooming but I have to soon remove them before I leave for Nova Scotia with Susanne on the 5th of October. I'll be away for two weeks and surely by then if not before, we'll have had a killing frost and I need to put the flower boxes and pots away for the winter.

Shirley, when leaves turn colors and fall off the trees is regulated by the calender and one's geographic location. The weather has little impact. It is driven by the length of night.
|Sun, 09-22-2013 - 2:38pm
Shirley, a Pimm's Cup is a cocktail that is popular in the summer in England. It is made with Pimm's #1 (which is made of gin, liqueur, and spices) and a mixer---often lemonade but I like it with ginger beer, and I add a slice of cucumber for a fresh taste. It mostly tastes spicy and sweet, but in a refreshing way. My ds introduced me to it several years ago when he was serving it at a party...I've no idea how he learned of it, but he always seems to know about slightly obscure things.
My other summery alcoholic beverage is "tinto de verano" which we discovered in Spain. Literally "red wine of summer" it is red wine mixed with a carbonated fruit drink---in Spain its probably made with Fanta de limon, but that's not available here. I use the Sanpelligrino Orange Italian soda which is just slightly sweet (the Sanpelligrino lemon flavor is too tart for use in this mixture but great as a not very sweet lemonade drink). Add a bunch of ice and it becomes one of those summer drinks that you can drink a lot of without getting drunk.
|Sun, 09-22-2013 - 3:14pm
Well, if you say so. I never looked that bit of information up. One year we had a killing frost that came really early. I remember that our ash tree never had a chance to change to its yellow colour - the leaves turned a dull brown and just fell off. Last year we had an early snowfall in October. Our apple tree's leaves and the leaves of the Swedish columnar ash trees hardly had a chance to change colour (as far as I remember) and then those leaves seemed to hang on forever! Eventually at some point by the time we had a good layer of snow that never went away, the leaves came down. I wouldn't say it's different every year but I did think that there were some differences in when leaves turned into their fall colours. I do know that the more north you are, the earlier the change in colours - my brother lives north of Montreal in the Laurentians and one year we siblings went to visit my father in Nova Scotia. We were there in early to mid October. The leaves were partially but not completely changed in colour in Nova Scotia. When we drove back to Montreal...via New Brunswick of course, the trees' leaves along the St. John river were a veritable riot of the most brilliant colours! By the time we got to my brother's place north of Montreal, the leaves were already past the peak of their autumn colour...so yes, geographically I have seen that difference...also we are much higher in elevation here in Calgary and our leaves turn colour sooner than trees in other parts of Canada, east and west, as far as I know.

That Pimm's Cup drink sounds tasty, Elspeth! I might give it a try some time. Thanks for your reply on that. Did your Ds serve it to you with lemonade or ginger beer that time? Or did he tell you that you could add the ginger beer instead of lemonade?

This week, we had a wake on Monday --the dad of one of our friends-- and the funeral on Tuesday. Then on Friday, it was another wake. That time it was one of Ed's grammar school/high school buddies. They'd been very close back in the day, but John became a cop, and as so often happens, all his friends from then on were cops. Ed and a couple other guys from the old group had been to see John in the hospital before he died, so they'd had a chance to reconnect at the end. John had scleroderma, and it had affected his heart. This wake was so sad because everyone there was our age, exactly.
So that shot two evenings during the week, which is when I do all the things I can't do during the day with Bree. Saturday, I had yard work. I started clearing out the summer deads, picking tomatoes, & the basil plants I'd cut down to 2 inches a couple weeks age were full with another whole go-round, so I picked that for pesto. The apple tree has been nuts this year, and it smells like a still down there, with all the rotting fruit. We were waiting for a cooler day to rake up the mess, and do more picking, because the fallen fruit has been COVERED with yellow jackets, and the possums, skunks, coons and even the coyotes have been at it, too. Not many deer tho. Usually they keep it all cleaned up! I ended up with 2 pails of just low hanging fruit, and since we were going to Rae & Anthony's for dinner, I made Apple Brown Betty. The apples are delicious, but smallish, and since we don't spray, there was a fair bit of damage to cut off as well, so it was lot of work to prepare the fruit. We ended up running about an hour late, but Rae had called and said she was late too (which with her, is hardly a surprise). We finally got there around 7, and the braciole was STILL cooking, but that gave us time for a tour of the house, to see their remodels. When we finally got upstairs to the master bedroom, Rae opened the door, and as I looked in the corner I said, IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL US??? just as Ed was saying "That's a funny looking shelf; it looks like a changing..."
Well, you guessed it. About a week after they got engaged, they found out they were pg, too. Decided to wait to tell us till they'd sorted all their thoughts out. But it was funny, because the evening Rae come by to babysit Bree while we went to the wake, she ransacked the house looking for something "non-alcoholic" to drink, because I was out everything except milk, and a few bottles of beer. Plus I noticed she was looking a little pot-bellied in her stretchy pants, and I'd asked her if she was pg, only to get a "MOTH-ER!"
We didn't get home till after midnight. Today, I watched Bree for an hour while Lolo ran. Rae was supposed to run too, but woke up with a sore throat and a head cold. I made sauce from my tomatoes, Ed made meatballs, and I made chicken soup to take to Rae if she isn't feeling better tomorrow, and stays home from work. Plus I vacced and mopped. I still have to dust, but I will try to do that with my helper, tomorrow.
BTW, Rae is due 4/11/14. They will wait till the delivery to know the sex--Anthony wants to be surprised. They are going to get married at the courthouse in a couple weeks, just to be safe, and then will have a church wedding and reception next fall, as they planned. I hate to tell her, but I don't think Rae is going to get in the form fitting sheath she's had waiting as a wedding dress, only 5 or 6 months post baby. We'll see.

A quick post to share with you the latest restoration project I'm working on: a mirror made from reclaimed wooden windows. This is the first project I've done which is effectively 'up-cycling' something and I'm quite excited to see how it turns out!
I picked up these awesome semi-circular windows at a reclamation yard that specialises in architectural salvage items. I am going to restore the wood by stripping it back and then I think it will be painted - no decision on colour or effect yet. The two semi-circles will be fixed together with mirror behind and then it will be secured with a strong wooden back support.
This is the shape they will be once they are fixed together:
In this photo you can see the top half has glass in and the bottom half does not. I'm not sure the best way to remove glass - maybe tape it first? Thankfully I have the fantastic guys at Inspired Furniture helping me with this one so maybe they can give me a few pointers!
Will keep you posted on progress and share the photographs of the finished mirror.

Absolutely Love It!
July 29, 2014
Reviewer: Matilda Easterbrook from Birmingham, AL United States
I bought one of these bottles a few years ago and absolutely love it! I have had no problems with it! I've dropped it several times and put it through years of camp and it's still as good as the day I bought it! My only issue is I use it so often I don't always have time to wash it properly and dirt collects in all of the crevices on the lid. I planned on ordering another bottle like this and a few Easy Sippers for the large bottles I have acquired, but don't use very often since they are difficult for me to drink out of. However, I discovered the cap is sold separately and it fits the large bottles too so I'm just going to order several of those!

Love this Bottle
June 23, 2014
Reviewer: Sara Blackburn from Collinsville, OK United States
I purchased this botting in purple about 2 years ago. I got one for my young daughter and one for myself. I have had absolutely no problems with this bottle. I recently read on review that people are having issues with the lid coming apart. This has not been my experience with either bottle I purchased. My daughter has dropped hers multiple times and nothing has broken. I use my almost every day and nothing has broken. It kicks around in my bag or hangs from a d-ring on my bag. I bangs into the floor when I set my bag down. I have dropped it many times. It is still good as new. I find that this bottle has the same durability as the regular wide-mouth bottles that my husband and I have used for so many years.

Bad Cap
September 2, 2013
Reviewer: Kevin T from Toronto, ON Canada
The top of the small screw cap cracked after about two months of occasional use. Not knowing this and with the bottle in my bag, water leaked onto several electronic goodies, fortunately only dampening them. I wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing, but I didn't think it was necessary given it was Nalgene.

Happy so far
August 14, 2013
Reviewer: Abbey Donner from East Amherst, NY United States
I've had this bottle for a few weeks and I'm very happy so far. I like that it fits the wide bottle so that I can still clean the bottle well. I find myself mostly using the "gulp" portion which works well. I bought this because I kept spilling the large mouth bottle on myself at work. My only complaint is that the straw does not work that well...it is very hard to suck. I thought maybe not enough air is getting in, but it doesn't really get any better when you open the gulp top. I am very happy with the fact that it has not leaked at all though.

Multi Drink - failure
September 16, 2012
Reviewer: Daniel Sheffer from Akron, OH United States
I purchased the Multi Drink bottle 3 weeks ago and went on a 2 week hiking vacation. On the first day of hiking, the top of the small screw on lid cracked and separated from the rest of the lid. This is a extremely poor design. I will contact Customer Service for a replacement. I certainly do not recommend this product to anyone....

Started out okay
September 16, 2012
Reviewer: Suzy deWilde from Springfield, IL United States
I loved this bottle for the first 4-6 weeks. I used it every day and loved the ease of the straw. Very shortly after the straw began to leak even after locking the mechanism in place. today I came into my office and the screw on cap has completely broken apart. I will be emailing customer support but wish I would have checked reviews as this seems to be a common problem.

I don't recommend this product.
July 17, 2012
Reviewer: Jennifer from East Lansing, MI United States
Update: After a couple of months of very, very light usage (it moves from the fridge to my desk and back), the lid has completely come apart. The top of the screw cap started to crack, and then completely separated. I've never even put it through the dishwasher, and have done nothing that should damage this product like this.
Previous review: I love the idea of this bottle- it's great to tote around with me and use for working out at the gym (straw is great for this!) and while at work.
However, it leaks like crazy. I contacted Nalgene once already and they sent me a new lid which I hoped would solve the problem, but it hasn't. This makes it impossible to toss in a gym bag or in the drink holder side on my backpack without constantly worrying about finding a pool of water.
It's still fine to keep on my desk at work, but the leaking problem definitely takes away what I bought it for.

Love it, but my straw leaks
March 7, 2012
Reviewer: Mary Forsblom from Sitka, AK United States
I saw this bottle on the shelf and had to have it (I have 3 now). I love that I can sip or gulp, depending on the moment. My favorite feature is that the straw is hidden- I volunteer in a preschool and the less parts that can catch germs the better. The only bad part is that my straw shoots water when I open it and then continuously drips if I leave it open. I have no idea how to fix this. I don't have the cracked lid like most other reviewers, just the leaky straw.

Leaky Cap
November 25, 2011
Reviewer: Andy from Naperville, IL United States
I bought the MultiDrink Bottle for work. I liked the straw part. The cap was broke. The first time the I used it spilled all over me. I was really pis_ed off. It looks like that this is the main problem with. I just got it replaced & 5 out 6 bottle in the store had crack in the lid where the straw goes in. The new one leaks at the main cap & the sipping cap as well. Maybe if the cap wasn't made in China. I don't understand way the cap is made in China & the bottle & the straw are made in the USA. I would like to know if your going to fix the problem? Do you have any quality control? P.S. I think that I may return the bottle.

not leakproof!
October 20, 2011
Reviewer: L. Crombie from Pointe-Claire, QC Canada
I have only had this bottle a couple of months and while I love it, it leaks, and by leaks I mean it had flooded my bag on several occasions. I am extremely disappointed and was even willing to buy a replacement lid, however they do not exist. Please fix this issue!
Nalgene comment: All Nalgene products are guaranteed. If you are unhappy with a product please e-mail us at: email@example.com and we will arrange a replacement.

The Obamas have been obsessed with what your kids are eating …. or not eating, and Michelle Obama has made it her personal mission to federalize your child's eating habits under the guise of fighting obesity. Of course, the government's agenda for food is political, and it is driven by the most wealthy and powerful corporate interests that drop the most coins in the assorted bureaucratic tills. Over the last three decades, as the government and its tag-along special interests have ramped up their "war" on fat and fatness, the population has become increasingly more obese and unhealthy while they sustain their shoddy quality of life entrenched in a perpetual pharmaceutical coma, thanks to a multitude of government programs and policies that keep people in the grip of the pharmaceutical-medical-governmental complex for a lifetime. "Gotta have my pills" is more American than any Chevy, baseball game, or apple pie.
The Messiah just signed the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, a $4.5 billion bill that gives the federal government the power to lay down the rules for meals served in its federal schools. The Obamas have stated that it is their job, and the job of government planners, to feed the children of financially capable adults whose priorities are turned upside down. Oh, but she doesn't quite say it that way. In a video posted by Judge Napolitano, Michelle Obama, when talking about feeding children via a centrally-planned system, exclaims that "we just can't leave it up to the parents."
According to the government's own statistics, more than 31 million children participate in the National School Lunch Program and more than 11 million in the School Breakfast Program. The next logical step, for those who are on the path to the Ten Easy Steps to Totalitarianism, is to control what makes up those meals. On that note, I took a look at a "before and after" school menu as posted on the Huffington Post. The overriding philosophy is the usual — lowfat this, lowfat that, lowfat everyting. Remember the joke about the definition of insanity (which I believe is wrongly attributed to Albert Einstein): "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results."
The "after" school lunch menu includes lowfat cheese, lowfat ranch dressing, lowfat mayonnaise, lowfat salad dressings, skim milk, and amazingly "healthy" items such as whole wheat pizza (as opposed to just pizza). And the new menu includes soft pretzels — but they are whole wheat soft pretzels. Remind me again how long Americans have been getting fat and sick on "whole wheat" breads …. (as opposed to the old-fashioned, behind-the-times breads). Of course, that nutritionally-deficient spaghetti with "whole wheat" rolls is so much more preferable than nutritionally deficient spaghetti with the regular, old non-whole wheat rolls. The gist of my argument here is that the war on healthy, necessary fat — yes, saturated fat — in favor of nutrient-lacking, inflammatory carbs, is taking on a whole new form as the government now gets to control what gets onto the lunch trays of millions of kids who have parents that refuse to take responsibility for their child's meals.

pH calibration requires two calibration solutions. You want to use the two solutions closest to the pH of what you are measuring. If your planning to measure the pH of your aquarium which is usually around 8, you would use the 7 and 10 solutions. If measuring the pH of something like a calcium reactor which is usually closer to 6-7, you would want to use the pH 4 and 7 solutions.
Milwaukee Calibration Solution sold in single use packets.
Available in 4.01 pH Calibration Solution, 7.01 pH Calibration Solution and 10.01 pH Calibration Solution. Calibrates all pH meters and probes.
