this reading explains how baghdad was under Abbasids

The city of Baghdad formed two vast semi-circles on the right and left banks of the Tigris, twelve miles in diameter. The numerous suburbs, covered with parks, gardens, villas and beautiful promenades, and plentifully supplied with rich bazaars, and finely built mosques and baths, stretched for a considerable distance on both sides of the river. In the days of its prosperity the population of Baghdad and its suburbs amounted to over two millions! The palace of the Caliph stood in the midst of a vast park several hours in circumference which beside a menagerie and aviary comprised an inclosure for wild animals reserved for the chase. The palace grounds were laid out with gardens, and adorned with exquisite taste with plants, flowers, and trees, reservoirs and fountains, surrounded by sculptured figures. On this side of the river stood the palaces of the great nobles. Immense streets, none less than forty cubits wide, traversed the city from one end to the other, dividing it into blocks or quarters, each under the control of an overseer or supervisor, who looked after the cleanliness, sanitation and the comfort of the inhabitants.

The water exits both on the north and the south were like the city gates, guarded night and day by relays of soldiers stationed on the watch towers on both sides of the river. Every household was plentifully supplied with water at all seasons by the numerous aqueducts which intersected the town; and the streets, gardens and parks were regularly swept and watered, and no refuse was allowed to remain within the walls. An immense square in front of the imperial palace was used for reviews, military inspections, tournaments and races; at night the square and the streets were lighted by lamps.

There was also a vast open space where the troops whose barracks lay on the left bank of the river were paraded daily. The long wide estrades at the different gates of the city were used by the citizens for gossip and recreation or for watching the flow of travelers and country folk into the capital. The different nationalities in the capital had each a head officer to represent their interests with the government, and to whom the stranger could appeal for counsel or help.

Baghdad was a veritable City of Palaces, not made of stucco and mortar, but of marble. The buildings were usually of several stories. The palaces and mansions were lavishly gilded and decorated, and hung with beautiful tapestry and hangings of brocade or silk. The rooms were lightly and tastefully furnished with luxurious divans, costly tables, unique Chinese vases and gold and silver ornaments.

Both sides of the river were for miles fronted by the palaces, kiosks, gardens and parks of the grandees and nobles, marble steps led down to the water’s edge, and the scene on the river was animated by thousands of gondolas, decked with little flags, dancing like sunbeams on the water,

and carrying the pleasure-seeking Baghdad citizens from one part of the city to the other. Along the wide-stretching quays lay whole fleets at anchor, sea and river craft of all kinds, from the Chinese junk to the old Assyrian raft resting on inflated skins.

The mosques of the city were at once vast in size and remarkably beautiful. There were also in Baghdad numerous colleges of learning, hospitals, infirmaries for both sexes, and lunatic asylums.

I can’t put high fences up as we are renting, but I like to sunbathe in my garden without the feeling of being watched! and the wall is really quite low and the lads over the other side of the wall are in there garden pretty much all day. any ideas? I was thinking of putting a gazebo up.

I just asked a question about what a great way to do a theme for my daughters room. She will be 1 1/2 and getting into her toddler bed, and I wanted a theme that wasnt artoony and would last till at least 5. Well I got a great answer about a french/country tea party garden. Where can I find crib matress sized linnens and what colors would I use on walls and bedding and drapes? I dont want wild colors or anything. Simple luxurious fabrics and colors please. As of now she has tan burber carpet but I think I want to switch to bamboo hardwood. Her furniture is cherry so would a sandy/medium brown wood color be ok with that? Any thoughts on where to find some great decor to go along. Please nothing to "childish". I’d like it to be tasteful yet fun and classy. Not beyond her age, just not like dora the explorer type stuff.

Wind-chimes tocsin in unison
A fashioned harmony to the ear
Within shadows un-known,
Speaks of dreams we hear

As this door opens we enter,
Into this cocoon of solitude
Light begins to fade
Like washed by clouds

Upon this night, becomes sleep…

I want to set a different ring tone for text messages on my blackberry pearl, instead of having some weird chime. Hos do I do that?

I need to buy a bedroom set, but am set on an Eastern king size bed. I have had a hard time finding one for a reasonable price. This website has one, but I have never ordered from the internet. Is this a reliable store? It has 86% positive feedback. If anyone has ordered from here previously that would really help. Thanks for any advice.

dammen d your link does not work.

This has at least 3 major influences, all unrelated.

I live in Indiana and in the summer ( or maybe spring) , some hummingbirds come to the feeder. I read an article in this magazine called " Birds & Blooms) and it said about these hummingbirds building nests in strange places, like ropes and windchimes. In the summer or spring , if I place a tiny little bird house ( because they check out anything my mom puts out there) will they lay eggs in it if they are interested in the birdhouse? Or it is not their egg-laying season yet in the summer, in Indiana?

The sound of scilence, empty and cold
The sound of waves, crashing to the shore
The sound of trees, swaying in the wind
The sound of birds, whistling in the trees
The sound of Monkeys howling, and lions roaring
The sound of man, the first words spoken
The sound of woman, the first to each other
The sound of shame, footsteps in the distance
The sound of building, trees falling and the frist destruction
The sound of community, as we first band together
The sound of cities, trade and languages of foreign tongues
The sound of Blacksmiths hammering and church bells ringing
The sound of trumpets, castles and kings, as they stood over the land
The sound of chaos, as war and anarchy ravaged the land
The sound of sails flapping in the wind.
The sound of Creativity and ingenuity
The sound of fading darkness, as art and science prevailed
The sound of music, as the notes dreamed from the composer’s mind came to being.
The sound of death, as disease ravaged the land
The sound of slavery, as one man put himself over another
The sound of slaughter. Those who don’t have what they want, take it
The sound of revolt. As rebellion and freedom came to be.
The sound of horses along cobblestone paths.
The sound of picks against rocks, and coughing workers
The sound of factories, steel on steel, and many men talking.
The sound of radios, one voice leading the world
The sound of motors, out with the old, and in with the new
The sound of television, flickering to life
The sound of bombs and gunfire, as lives are taken by the thousands
The sound of guitars strumming and drums drumming, opposing the death.
The sound of speakers, microphones and recording equipment, spreading the noise to every house and car in the world
The sound of cars, backed up in city streets.
The sound of phones ringing.
The sound of Lies and deceit, corruption and misinformation
The sound of hurt, as the world screams in agony
The sound of the oppressed, the broken and beaten,and the sound of those who want to return to science

I don’t care if you like it, love it, hate it or just stopped reading half way through, I just want to hear why.
If you didn’t catch it, the sound of hurt is 9/11

Do you think that you can use pine garland creatively without making the wedding reception look christmas-y, I want kind of a garden feel. I am having the reception in an open pavillion at a park in August. I thought about draping some on the ceiling but I don’t want it to look like christmas decor, any ideas?

I’m looking for "mini-Wind Chimes" to give as my wedding favors.
They are probably about 5 inches long…Metal, steel. Does any body know where I can order them online? I feel like every site I visit doesn’t have them. Thanks! Any other suggestions for wedding favors are welcome!

I have a garden plot in my front yard in which I’m growing a variety of vegetables and herbs. The average soil ph is about 6.5, which is too far alkaline to properly grow blueberries. Is it possible for me to lower the ph (using sulfur, etc) of just one corner of the garden (say, 2 sq ft) without affecting the entire rest of the plot? Will I need to use some sort of in-ground divider? Or really, will blueberries grow just fine in a ph between 6 and 6.5 and just not produce as much? This is only for a home garden, so I’m not concern with really high yield.

Was as God thinking?

Was he thinking "Oh no they’ll never pick that tree because I told them not to."?

And what was the big idea of putting a talking snake in the the Garden of Eden?

What was God thinking?

Was he thinking "Oh no the talking snake will never offer Eve any forbidden fruit; it’s just not in his character."?

YEAH WELL GUESS WHAT — BIG SURPRISE.

Question: Can I get some input from religious people on this? And so what if I’ve asked this question before?

And I thank you in advance for your replies.
