The tapes tell the tale. Go back and look at images of our nation's most senior soldier, Gen. Martin Dempsey, and his body language during last Tuesday's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Syria. It's pretty obvious that Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, doesn't want this war.

The news media is suddenly talking about what many have seen in the air before. Why are they talking about something that they have said is fantasy? What is the media's agenda and why are they suddenly talking?
Actually the OP here is right, ISLAM is of satan, Mohammad had like a 9yr old wife. they glorify death, and want to dominate the and kill anyone who wont accept their religion. Catholicism (which does not truly represent Christianity) committed countless atrocities specifically to discredit and ruin the name of Christianity, If people read their Bibles they would know that what the catholic church did is totally contradictory to the teachings of Jesus Christ. And this whole word has largely been deceived and brainwashed, TPTB own all the education systems, the entertainment industry, etc, they don't want you to know the truth, even feminism plays into their diabolic plans and to destroy the family unit. The secret socities that run the world who are luciferians (they worship lucifer aka they believe in lucifer vs. jesus) and commit black magick mass rituals based on the teachings of professed satanist allister crowley.. i.e. 9/11 (see book 'the most dangerous book in the world')
and allister crowly summoned demons, they looked just like grays ( google 'Lam') which is part of the deception from satan to bring in NWO. (check out UFO gateway to hell, Iron Mountain Report)
Need I say more? or you can believe its all a fairy tell if you choose to remain ignorant. Your eternity is on the line. Give your life to Jesus Christ. The battle of Good vs. Evil is very real.
Not sure why you wrote this above. I saw this exact same quote on another thread. What do you really know about Islam besides what you have been told through the propaganda channels. Do you know anything about the Kaaba Stone and the history behind it?
ALL religions are a SCAM, and ISLAM is jkust like all religions. Lots of them tend to take it to the extreme though, which is where the issue lies.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.5 /5 from 189 reviews
no issues with air conditioning. Gym was fine for cardio and weights. very social hotel, and lobby bar lacked atmosphere. But lovely bar overlooking the beach, perfect for a quiet romantic evening
Excellent stay, great staff. Must stay! Food could have been a little better, beach not worth going in to due to rocks, excellent top self liqour.
The check in experience was stressful & unpleasant, you felt like a number and were effectively standing around, being asked about 3 times for your name, given a glass of champagne & cold cloth and told to take a seat. Whilst the drink & cloth were a nice touch the greeting was awful. We sat & waited (we had a VIP booking) and eventually someone came, stood over us as we sat on the sofa (all the reception desks were taken) and we were given a buzzer and told to use the facilities until our room was ready. Aside from the awful check in, the facilities were brilliant, the quality of food & drink was very good and the room was brilliant. Americans of course dominated the area so if you want a quiet relaxing time this may grate us fellow Brits who are naturally far quieter but the hotel overall we would definitely recommend.
Great hotel. Staff could not do enough for you. Entertainment team were good too. Yes the beach had a problem with seaweed, however this is not the hotels fault and they are doing all they can to clear it each day. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.
It was very relaxing! The spa was the highlight of our stay! Food selections were great even though we did not enjoy the Sushi Restaurant. The entertainment staff was Perfect...... Mini Cooper and Anna Banana were very welcoming! Loved that we did not have to stand at the bar for drinks that hotel staff was always around to take orders! I did not like that our room was not cleaned until late in the day or lack of upbeat music at the main pool area and the hotel coupons were useless!!!!!!! Rooms need an upgrade..... but comfortable! Room service was Amazing, fast, tasty and fresh! All in all we would go back!

Pair programming involves-two developers simultaneously collaborating with each other on the same programming task to design and code a solution. Algorithm design and its implementation are normally interwoven in that implementation often provides feedback to enhance the design. Previous controlled pair programming experiments did not explore the efficacy of pairs versus individuals in program design-related tasks separately from coding. Variations in programmer skills in a particular language or an integrated development environment and the understanding of programming instructions can mask the skill of subjects in program design-related tasks. Programming aptitude tests (PATs) have been shown to correlate with programming performance. PATs do not require understanding of programming instructions and do not require a skill in any specific computer language. Two controlled experiments were conducted, with full-time professional programmers being the subjects who worked on increasingly complex programming aptitude tasks related to problem solving and algorithmic design. In both experiments, pairs significantly outperformed individuals, providing evidence of the value of pairs in program design-related tasks.

Bought this watch in Australia. Fast shipping! I was impressed.
This is a fantastic watch. Quite chunky but great features. Very attractive with the polished case and leather band. Once you set it up and read the manual, it's very easy to use - three buttons to change the needle function and a 4th to turn the light on. Being an analog watch, it is quite easy to tell the time with a quick glance, so the busy face isn't a problem.
Only downside to the watch is no alarm, and the only negative thing about the product was that it didn't come with a manual - you need to locate it on the Timex website. Other than that, it's a fantastic product. The two negatives are the only reason this watch doesn't get 5/5.

Boyzone insist there is no rivalry between them and One Direction because their music is ''more grown-up'' than the 'Story of My Life' hitmakers' sound.
Boyzone insist there is no rivalry between them and One Direction.
The Irish boyband, who first rose to fame in 1993, claim they aren't worried about the 'Story of My Life' hitmakers stealing their fan base because their own music ''is more grown-up.''
Member Shane Lynch told Dubai's Ahlan! Magazine: ''One Direction are 20 years younger than we are and I hope they're still around in 20 years time, but our fans are very different to theirs. Boyzone have an incredible fan base which is built on a foundation, a solid rock.''
The 37-year-old singer, who is part of Boyzone with Keith Duffy, 39, Mikey Graham, 41, and Ronan Keating, 36, added: ''We don't compete with any of those youngsters anymore for number ones. We're a bunch of 40-year-old men and that's reflected in our music. It's more grown-up now and on our new album we have a sound we are proud of that reflects where we are today.''
The 'Love Will Save The Day' hitmaker thinks the band's new album, 'BZ20,' is their best to date.
He said: ''We basically recorded a whole lot of songs and put a load in the mix and picked out the best ones. It's still pop music, but we feel it's right for us.''
The 1969 session, including the only known recording of 'Sunshine Woman' by the band, will be included on a re-issue of 'The Complete BBC Sessions'...

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Brazilian comic book artist Roger Cruz shares a watercolor painting of what should be a confrontation of epic proportions — Homer Simpson vs. Peter Griffin. It may not be Hulk vs. Thor, but if there's food involved, watch out.
That. Is. AWESOME. What does "Ora, sue…" mean? My guess is "Why you little…!" but Babelfish translated it as "However, its."
I think "Why you little" translates pretty god.
I mean good.
Heh….maybe Peter mistook Homer for the chicken that gave him a lousy coupon? Minus the white shirt and blue pants, their color schemes are rather similar…

I clicked the link that has friscotheme.com/wp-content/themes.../css and I logged into my account on the demo site but it says "Page Not Found".

Since I'm in the process of moving, I'm cutting most of my spring bulb flowers to enjoy at the new place where I'm spending my nights now. I'm loving vases of fragrant blooms all over the house so much, this will have to continue!
I was in a pastel mood this morning:
Spring bulb blooms!
Neal, you have gorgeous tulips and daffs. The arrangements are lovely, wish I could smell them :~)
Thanks Lana. 'Fragrant Rose' is hands down the winner for fragrance, and they lasted wonderfully in the vase. Something I'm already loving about this old house is that it cools down every night, and the trees keep it pleasant during the day. Cut flowers last so much better for me now :)
That's great! Can't wait to meet you at the RU :~) I hope 'Fragrant Rose' is one of the bulbs in our trade! I love fragrant flowers and am really looking to put more fragrance in my garden.
gosh, gemini_sage.....this is awesome....thanks for posting.
I have drifted off into lala land with the african violets and all their cousins......be back at the end of the summer when I actually have flowers outside (LOL)

There are at least two important differences between a touring musician who skips a state to make a point and a service provider who doesn't want to provide services on account of personal opposition to the larger thing being served.
Shortly after the terrorist attacks in Paris in mid-November, Texas senator and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz set off a flurry of controversy when he announced that he believed the federal government should bar Muslim refugees fleeing violence and civil war in Syria from resettling in the United States. He stated on Fox News, "on the other hand, Christians who are being targeted for genocide, for persecution, Christians who are being beheaded or crucified, we should be providing safe haven to them."
After President Obama described these sentiments as "shameful" and "un-American," Cruz doubled down.
Insisting that a government office answer to the law rather than to a given official's religious beliefs isn't de-prioritizing religious freedom in favor of something else. It is religious freedom.
Free exercise is a basic right and a great asset to the American religious landscape. Yet some of its advocates seem eager to give it a bad name.
Next to the First Amendment, then-President Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802 has perhaps come to represent the most popular understanding of religious freedom in the collective mind of America. Because of Jefferson's "wall of separation" metaphor, some would like the letter to pass back into the shadow of obscurity under which it rested prior to the 1947 Everson v. Board of Education decision. Others rejoice that the letter provides the lens through which religion itself is defined and applied in contemporary America.
Jefferson's famous metaphor is important, but it is a star drawing into its orbit the comet of our short attention span.
While I happen to think that refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding that isn't even happening at your own church is a distortion of what it means to follow Jesus, this is more lament than argument. It makes me sad; and our religious freedom tradition, quite rightly, isn't particularly concerned about my sadness.
What's far more frustrating than pro-RFRA sentiment itself is the lack of empathy displayed by some who hold it.
When what's at stake is a commercial transaction, it makes sense for a religious freedom claim to be trumped by the commitment to treat people equally.
(RNS) I'm not supposed to like this idea.
It was put forward by a conservative Christian pastor who says that "Faithful American Christians are increasingly under attack across the country by the gay lobby." And it's a proposal for Christian-owned small businesses who don't want to serve people like me: gay people, especially ones who are out, loud, and proud.
So much of the debate over Indiana's new religious freedom law revolves around the gap between the letter of the law and the politics behind it. Supporters note that the law doesn't mention gays and lesbians, and that similar laws (though not identical ones) have been on the books in other jurisdictions for years. Opponents point to the fact that the law's advocates organized support for it with arguments about protecting business owners who object to being vendors for same-sex weddings. They're both right, just about different things.
One baker doesn't want to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. Another baker doesn't want to decorate a cake with the words "God hates gays." Are the two cases comparable?
The differences may be obvious, but they're also complex.

We propose a distributed and efficient sleeping protocol, the energy-balanced coordinated node scheduling (ECONS), that guarantees OoS sensing coverage for wireless dense sensor networks. We first define the parameters that can be adjusted by the applications to achieve the desired sensing coverage percentage. We next discusses the ECONS protocol which maximizes the network lifetime while supporting the QoS coverage requirements. The key components include accurate sleeping eligibility calculation, proper back-off schemes, overhead cost control, and dynamic off-duty interval assignment that adapts to the energy consumption patterns of sensors in each neighbors. Simulations using realistic network application scenario and energy models based on MICA2 measurements confirm the efficiency of ECONS, which achieves an increase of 49% to 71.5% in network lifetime compared to non-scheduled networks and 18.9% compared to coverage preserving (CP) protocol.

System Information Retrieval
Although cuthroat is my primary system-administration site, I keep the collected files on several systems for redundancy. After copying the system-administration information from all the Linux sites to cuthroat, I propagate the collected information from cuthroat to another system:
rsh loyd mkdir /admin rcp -pr /admin/* loyd:/admin
I repeat the rcp for each machine on which I wish to have a copy of this information.
Several simple requirements must be satisfied for the collect script to work:
The first (and most obvious) requirement is that all systems must be interconnected.
Depending on how name resolution is configured, all system names must be in a Domain Name Server or in each system's /etc/hosts.
Each system needs a properly configured .rhost file to support remote shell and remote copy operations.
And finally, you must configure the /proc file system in each system's kernel. Note that the kernel build procedure includes the /proc file system by default.
The collect script can be easily extended if you find that /proc (or any other directory) contains system-administration information that is important to you. None of my systems use PPP; if yours does, modify the collect script to capture your PPP configuration information.
Most of my Linux systems run the Apache web server, but I don't bother to collect any Apache configuration information because only two lines distinguish one system's configuration from another. If you're running a web server and you've made a significant number of configuration changes, you may wish to collect your web server's configuration data.
If you are using Linux as a firewall, modify the collect script to save the firewall configuration. If Mr. Hughes had been using the collect script, the failure of his firewall's hard disk might not have cost him "hours of work time and probably a day of uptime".
Running find on one Linux system located about a dozen files with names in the form *.conf. If you look at your systems closely, you may find additional configuration files to collect using the collect script.
All of the Linux systems named in Figure 1 are protected from the Internet by an industrial-strength firewall. None of these systems are mission critical. My security considerations are probably quite different from yours, so you will have to evaluate whether any information you collect could compromise your systems and act accordingly.
The collect script simplifies remote system administration of disparate systems by centralizing configuration information. It is easy to use and easy to extend. Since the collected file sizes sum to less than 10KB per system, very little disk storage space is required. Although I created the collect script to ease recovery from potential catastrophes, the information obtained by using the collect script has a number of other uses as well.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

9 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
I bought my grandson a clone trooper costume, which he wants to wear all the time. The gun just made it all perfect. We've made him a target to practice with.
My little boy is 5 and saved up enough money to buy this toy for himself. He has played with it every day, and has had it about one month now. His favorite thing to do is to shoot the darts at the ceiling fan, then turn the fan off and watch them fly off. I would recommend purchasing additional darts (regular nerf darts or even the generic ones work great) because they do get lost easily.
My four year old loves it and used it with his Clone Trooper costume for Halloween. I also like playing with it and I'm substancially older. Nice value, and is holding up well to the rigors of a four year old's play habits.
Having purchased many Nerf guns, I was hoping that this "electronic" nurf gun would be better. The shipping took longer than I paid for and the gun is not that impressive. It was my understanding that the gun would make a sound like a Star Wars Blaster. Unfortunately, the electronic part apparently refers to the dimly lit light. The gun itself doesn't shoot the Nerf darts as well as the other Nerf guns we have purchased in the past. Also, the cap that holds the batteries in place won't stay on once we traded out the batteries. All in all I am unimpressed with this purchase.
i thot the gun would be bigger, and it didnt work the way i thot it would. the laser doesnt shine once gun is cocked to shoot which is a bummer.
my son was happy with it until i told him about the laser then he was bummed also. he also hoped it would be bigger than what it was..
This is one gift my 9 yo son repeatedly asked for for Christmas. He was very excited to open it. He loves it and it seems to meet all of his expectations. A friend game him a Nerf gun for his birthday and the darts fit the Clone Blaster, which is good because it only comes with three. And those things get lost and ripped easily. So far, we are pleased with this toy.
My son asked for this for Christmas. I was hesitant, but after searching the net for about a week, I came across this one and was quite pleased. It has a really cool red light, so you can make sure of the target you will hit. Its mostly for show, but he thinks its neat!
I bought this for my 5 year old Newphew who is an avid Star Wars fan. He loved it and he and my 6 year old son and a ball shooting it. I'd read the other reviews, but I really think this product does what it says it should do, and it shoots just fine.
The Clone Trooper Blaster is great! My son really likes it and is having fun playing with it. Good purchase for Star Wars fans!

tried for 2 weeks and did not see any result and my skin got irritated
Sadly gave a try with 100% tea tree oil many times as I heard countless of reviews on how good it actually is. I use it to spot treat my cystic acne/blemishes but it always seem to make it worst. I have even tried to apply it directly on them and also diluted it, half TTO and half water but it just didn't seem to work for me. I always try to use it for at least 3 weeks to see how it goes because there might be a "purging" period. But even so, just doesn't work for me. Somehow when I use it, acne starts popping out in areas near the places I spot treat. I stopped it to see if that was the cause and found out my face seemed calmer after.
I have slathered it, used it as a spot treatment, mixed it with my lotions but nothing ! Maybe its my skin but this just didnt do anything for me . I have harmonal acne and have sensitive/combination skin.
When I read how people rave on TTo, I thought that I should give it a try. I bought a bottle and diluted it with some essential oils. Unfortunately, TTO doesnt agree with my skin. I developed tiny spots all around my pimples and places where I never got pimple before. My face was almost clear until I tried this. It has been a regret since using tto. To people out there, dont believe everything what the netizens hyped about.
I have a sensitive oily acne prone skin. I have used tea tree remedies several times (pure oil, a face wash, masks, ...) because everyone told me it was the best remedy. NOT FOR ME!!! Every time I use it I get massive breakouts and my existing pimples become cystic. My skin really hurts and gets irritated. So be careful tea tree might not be for you, it could get worse.
I have been using tee tree oil for a while now. The more you read up on it, the more you'll learn just how beneficial it is.. I used to just use it alone but now I make a cleanser that is
Witch Hazel
Grapefruit seed extract
Tee Tree Oil
I put it in a spritz bottle and spray my face as well as my cotton roll and clean my face.
Otherwise I wash my face with dr. bronners tea tree oil soap.
I've tried many, many products for inflamed pimples, including benzoyl peroxide, witch hazel, and face masks, and this is the one product I always come back to! I take a q-tip, dampen it with water to dilute it, and apply two or three drops of pure tea tree oil. I put it on my most irritated spots at night and I can always rely on my skin looking better the next morning. It doesn't completely clear up my spots in one night of course, but, if I hold back from popping my pimples, it'll get rid of a spot in two or three days!
The best spot treatment ever! I stopped using my prescribed acne medication because of this miracle worker! Beating acne the natural and cost effective way!
I started using tea tree oil a couple years ago, but not diluted. It did work great except it made my skin feel really dry. A couple of months went by where I would dab one drop on the affected area everyday and I felt like I needed something more, so I switched it out for other cosmetic brands until it came back into my life this year when I tried to embark on a more natural journey for my skin. I found that diluting the tea tree oil with water made it a great toner to use day and night over the whole face, or where ever I needed it. If you want extra moisture you can add an oil with benefits in like coconut oil which is very hydrating. Overall, when I sprayed the diluted tea tree oil on my face it shrunk the acne down and took it away within days! I would definitely recommend this to someone who has combination oily and acne prone skin to seriously try this one out!!!!
After reading all of these wonderful reviews about tea tree oil I went out and bought some for myself. It's been a few months and I have not seen any results. i had a huge pimple and applied tto as a spot treatment and nothing happened :/. I will continue using it for six months. Hopefully I will be back with a better review!

You don't get to be the longest-running children's show in TV history by doing the same thing over and over. So even though parents who grew up watching Sesame Street can still see old favourites like Big Bird, things on the street have changed since the show debuted 45 years ago on Nov. 10, 1969.
Cookie Monster now exercises self-control and sometimes eats fruits and vegetables. Millions of kids watch the show on phones and computers instead of TV. And there's less time spent on the street with human characters. They're just not energetic enough for today's viewers.
'We design the show to engage the parent because we know that's more educational. If you have a parent watching with you, you're going to learn much more' - Sesame Street senior vice president, Scott Chambers, on engaging families watching
That Sesame Street still exists at all says a lot. In 1973, it was one of two TV shows for preschoolers. Now it's competing with 84 kids' shows on TV and countless others online. Yet Sesame Street still holds its own, ranking 20th among kids ages 2 to 5 with 850,000 viewers per TV episode, according to Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind the show.
New digital dimension
But now half the viewers watch it in digital formats. Options include SesameStreet.org, PBSKids.org, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and some 50 apps. A Sesame Street YouTube channel has a million subscribers and 1.5 billion views. And touchscreens have been "a magic wand for us in terms of engagement," says Sesame Street senior vice president Scott Chambers. Kids can trace letters or point to colours or shapes, and the app provides positive reinforcement.
- On mobile? Watch Johnny Cash performing on Sesame Street in 1973 here
Sesame Street also has the highest "co-viewing" experience — meaning adults watching with kids — of any preschool show: 49 percent of "Sesame Street" viewers are over age 18. "We're very proud of that," said Chambers. "We design the show to engage the parent because we know that's more educational. If you have a parent watching with you, you're going to learn much more."
That's why sketches often have contemporary celebrity guests or pop culture references that 2-year-olds don't get, but adults do. A James Bond parody stars Cookie Monster as a secret agent, Double-Stuffed 7, in The Spy Who Loved Cookies. Another show celebrates "what makes people special," with Elmo telling Lupita Nyong'o that her skin "is a beautiful brown colour." The actress responds, "Skin comes in lots of beautiful shades and colours ... I love my skin!" It's a classic Sesame Street lesson about diversity that goes back to its groundbreaking roots as one of the few shows in the 1970s to feature all races and ethnicities. Today the show also routinely features children with disabilities.

Older episodes come with warnings
Parents whose kids watch old episodes may be puzzled by warnings that the material may be inappropriate for today's children. But remember "Monsterpiece Theater," a parody of PBS' Masterpiece Theater? Back in the day, Cookie Monster hosted the show as Alistair Cookie, and he had a pipe, imitating the real show's human host Alistair Cooke. Cookie Monster gobbled the pipe up rather than smoking it, but any reference to smoking is now unacceptable.
- On mobile? Watch a clip of Monsterpiece Theatre here
The music has changed too. Those memorable lyrics, "Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away, on my way to where the air is sweet," still open every episode, but now the song has a syncopated, jazzier beat. Other sketches feature hip-hop or Latin music. In one new episode, rocker Elvis Costello pops up singing, "A monster went and ate my red two" to the tune of his famous line, "Angels wanna wear my red shoes." The Dracula-like Count von Count puppet uses a disco beat to teach a lesson about the number nine in his "Number of the Day" segment, and every episode ends with "Elmo the Musical," with Broadway-style songs and a velvet curtain.
- On mobile? Watch Elvis Costello sing with Elmo here
More muppets, less humans
Newer seasons also feature less of the actual street with human characters, and more puppets in skits with animation or other technical wizardry. Executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente says the puppets "have a madcap energy to them" that helps Sesame Street compete with the many other kids shows that are animated.
Sesame Street also is unique because before any scripts are written, child development experts offer input on what today's kids need to succeed in school. That's why in addition to teaching letters, numbers and values, the show now teaches behaviours like impulse control and listening to directions.
"Cookie Monster has been our poster child for self-regulation because of his love of cookies," said Parente. The puppet sometimes now eats fruits and vegetables instead — although he may also devour the plate, table and chair.
Elmo also remains a central part of the show, despite a real-world scandal in which three men accused the puppeteer behind Elmo, Kevin Clash, of underage sexual abuse. Those lawsuits were dismissed in 2013 because the statute of limitations on the accusations had run out.

Not all of today's parents love Sesame Street. Some say it simply doesn't keep their kids' attention. Daphne Mallory, a mother of four in Twin Falls, Idaho, grew up watching Sesame Street but says her four children don't. "It lost its relevance," she said. "It's geared toward engaging the parents watching the program with their children, rather than truly educating the children. While I appreciate celebrity appearances, I find it distracting more than adding to the experience."
But Lori Chajet of Brooklyn, New York, says her daughters, now 7 and 10, loved it — including old episodes they got on tape — while she and her husband appreciated the emphasis on multiculturalism and the pop culture references for adults.
"Little kids learn from it," said her 7-year-old daughter Sasha, "but they really have a really fun time watching it."

Republican Congressional Candidate Warns of Sharia in Texas and the 'Islamization of America'
Itamar Gelbman is a Republican congressional candidate who has attracted attention for his mailing where he pledged to "Stop Islamization of America," which won him wild praise from anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller and scorn from one local Republican precinct chair Jamal Qaddura, who said, "I would like to ask him, how do you plan to stop the 'Islamization of America' and show me where the 'Islamization of America' is?"
Gelbman hasn't provided a clarification, but he did post a video of his long form birth certificate, and he told Janet Mefferd last week that he sees the "Islamization of America" in the fact that Muslims live in the state and are building mosques! He even claimed that Texas was the "first state ever to have a Sharia law approved court," although didn't say what this court is called or who approved it. George Bush? Rick Perry? Maybe Gelbman is referring to Frankford, Texas, the town Sharron Angle claimed was run by Sharia law even though the town is actually just a church and a cemetery and was annexed by Dallas in 1975.
Gelbman: In Texas it's very, very unique because Texas has the biggest Islamic community and people feel it. You feel the influation [sic] of the Islamic community here in the state and people are worried about it. If you look and you see mosques are standing up, are building up on a weekly basis or a monthly basis, you have Sharia law approved court right now in Texas, it's the first state ever to have a Sharia law approved court, so people here are very, very concerned about it.
