The city of the caliphs
It was built at the wish of the Caliph Abd-al Rahman III, using the money bequeathed to him by his favourite concubine, Al-Zahra.
It is a city with an area of 112 hectares, and was intended to be the capital of a new province of the Caliphate of Cordoba; ultimately, however, the sacking of the palace-city led it to be remembered as Old Cordoba. The Caliph Abd al-Rahman III was a great promoter of culture and a skilful politician who transformed his dominions into the most prosperous lands in the West at the time, comparable only with Baghdad and Byzantium. The city of Medina Azahara has a practically rectangular floor plan. It was built on raked terraces which made use of the slope of the mountainside. Each terrace was separated from the others by walls, which divided the city into three parts. The Alcázar Real palace is located on the highest and intermediate levels, while the lower part stood outside the walls and was used for dwellings and the mosque. There are still remnants of tiled borders, paintings and columns in the composite and Corinthian styles. Visitors should not miss a visit to the two recently restored rooms. It was declared a National Monument in 1923.
To conclude the visit, the archaeological site also has a visitor centre which serves as a starting point for the tour. The centre is located underground in the style of an archaeological site, and features a collection of exhibits from the most important periods in the history of Medina Azahara. The tour of the visitor centre lasts about one hour and includes audiovisual shows, and continues with a visit to the archaeological site (which can be reached by bus from the same building).

What I ate
"What I ate" is a reminder app which will assist you in your efforts to not overeat (and eat the right things). You take a photo of every meal you have with "What I ate" and it shows you the photos of the previous meals you had on that day. Now you can instantly tell whether you should eat something or better put it back in the fridge. Or you can see that you didn't have enough vegetables or fruits yet and eat one of those.
You can picture "What I ate" as part diary and part conscience - it will help you remember what you ate and thereby help defeat your inner weaker self. It will also help you stick to your dietary plan, but it won't patronize you.
The problem with this kind of apps is that they often are too complicated and take too much time to use. "What I ate" takes the minimalistic approach and comes without distracting features and lets you focus on your main goal: tracking your diet. You won't be hassled to count calories. You won't have to include information about where or with whom you had a specific meal.
The only thing you *have* to do is take a photo of your meal. "What I ate" will show you what you already ate today - that's it. It can only assist you, it can't do the heavy lifting for you.
What's New
Version 1.1 (Jul 28, 2013)
- added drag'n'drop sorting for thumbnails (tap and hold to sort)
- enabled using photos from the camera roll
- enabled editing text on the polaroids (tap to edit)
- adding photos for days other than 'today' is now possible
- saving speed for new photos has been increased
- photos taken at exactly midnight dont show up on both days anymore
- a scrolling problem when changing the date has been fixed

Can I move/transfer my I-Tunes from my Mac (OSX ver 10.4.11) to the Time Capsule and operate it as a program?
I want to be able to operate I-Tunes from the Time Capsule just as I currently do now, editing all info for songs, ratings, etc.

Have been running iTunes content from TC for a while now without any issues. Just copy over the iTunes folder to the TC from your HD, then go into iTunes pref and in the advanced tab change the location of your iTunes media folder.
The only issue that's come up is having to reset the iTunes media folder location after software updates ... but it only takes a few seconds to sort. Have got into the habit of checking the location every time I start up iTunes, just in case ... though Apple is bound to sort out the bug at some point!

Yesterday I shared the 2014 Rodarte runway crochet and the day before that I shared the 2014 Sibling runway crochet. I've got one more 2014 runway crochet showcase for you – the beautiful mixed media paneled crochet pieces from John Rocha.
I want to share some more crochet from the FAll/Winter 2014 fashion week shows – this time from Rodarte.
I'm in love with the fashion brand Sister by Sibling. Not only do they make really beautiful, interesting, innovative crochet clothing but they consistently showcase it in amazing ways on the runways.
Sister by Sibling is a relatively new fashion brand that is putting some terrific crochet on the runway each season. Here's a look at some of the crochet from the Spring 2014 collection.
When I saw the above photo of the Karolina Kurkova in a crochet mermaid dress for the cover of June's Ukranian Vogue I had to learn more about the dress. It turns out that it was part of the Spring 2013 Thom Browne collection.
Dolce & Gabbana is one of the few designer brands that consistently features innovative crochet in their lines and their runway shows.

Affordable-housing charity re-creates soup lines to raise money
Bowls of steaming-hot soup were the right kind of comfort food Sunday as a storm passed through Ventura County, and so the timing was perfect for the Many Mansions Bowls of Hope Project in Camarillo.
Several hundred people ate soup and bread donated by restaurants and bakeries and raised money for the Thousand Oaks-based nonprofit, which provides affordable housing and services for the homeless, low-income families and those with disabilities.
"So far I've had the hot-pepper beef soup, and it's wonderful. It's a great day for soup," said Peggy Celic of Camarillo as she sat at one of 30 tables in The Serra Center on Upland Road.
"This is the chili soup, and I was telling my wife it's almost as good as hers," said Jay Berger of Camarillo, who was there with his wife, Joni.
"We have 15 different types of soup," said Mario Diaz, who leads Many Mansions' board of directors. "It's basically an updated soup line, and what we try to do is kind of remind everybody what the old soup lines used to be — soup and bread and that's it."
"It's unique to us, and it complements our mission," he said as he directed volunteer soup servers.
Among the volunteers was California Lutheran University President Chris Kimball, who was ladling helpings of clam chowder.
"Many Mansions is a great organization, and I just love this event. It's fun to see all the people in the community come out and be a part of it," he said.
"I absolutely have a blast," said Joe Esseff, the business manager of St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Camarillo who's volunteered at the event for three years. "We make it as fun for everybody as we can."
Those who attended got to pick out a hand-painted ceramic bowl to keep. The bowls are donated and painted by community groups throughout the county.
Andrea Neftin of Agoura Hills was buying extra bowls for friends who couldn't make it Sunday.
"I like the different shapes and sizes, and they're so collectible, and I use them at home," she said as she walked around the bowls laying on a long table.
Kristi Pontacq from Thousand Oaks was persuaded to come to the event for the first time by her mother, Sandy Gellembeck of Newbury Park, who's attended for several years.
"My first soup was the wedding soup, and it was really delicious, so I am on bowl No. 2," Pontacq said.
"It's a great cause," said Gellembeck, who was eating lentil soup. "It's kind of a nice fundraiser. It's not so stuffy. It's casual."
In addition to the soup line, there was a silent auction and the opportunity to paint a ceramic bowl for use at a future fundraiser.

I love to continue learning and don't allow the fact that I can't afford college to stop me. I read a lot of philosophy, would like to expand to include more history. I study different languages and can converse in Italian and Spanish....wouldn't say I'm fluent, though.
Want to travel more, at home and abroad. Going to Ireland in march for my first....and incredibly well-earned...."real" vacation.(back from Ireland...loved it!!! Ireland, I will be back....oh, I will be back!)
I want to explore other interests, too many to name here.
All of it is in order to not only become the woman I know I am, but I believe it will also allow me to find the man I'm meant to have.

Had my Slash for 2 months now running on NiMh. Good fun, was still able to break parts... I was happy. Now... I am on 2S LiPo's!! Holy Crap! What a difference!! WHY I didn't do that from the get go I'll never know! Way more punch from a dead stop... Goes through the snow like nobody's business... Even notice more top speed... I can do *******' wheelies!!!
Moral to my story... Any of you out there researching to decide if you want to go Lipo, research no more. Make the investment and GO. Don't get nervous about the hazards or the cost. Make the investment, treat the batteries properly, buy quality stuff and you will never, NEVER regret it! The increase in cost isn't that much and you get way more value!!!
I wish I had done the same 2 months ago. Now I have 2 40 NiMh chargers and 6 packs that will never see the light of day.

Irish World Record Attempt on the wee Honda Starts tomorrow in Chile!!
Hi Folks..
I am currently in Chile after coming 37,000km form Alaska on my C90. I have a few tales to tell about Peru and Bolivia, but I will have to back track to update you on that.
What I want to do now is fill you in on my world record altitude attempt on the Honda.
How high can a Honda cub go before it just can't climb any further or with just won't run? I became interested in this when I reached 5000m on the El Burrito in Peru. It was freezing cold, snowing and icey but yet the bike was still running and could have kept climbing if the grades weren't too steep.
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/23gscl9B6gM" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I started doing some research and*didn't*find any record set by a Honda Cub and I found out the World Record for a motorcycle was broken last year in Chile. It was set by a very well resourced international team using 550cc Husaberg with a high compression engine. They reached 6,331m. They had to cross a glacier to reach this height. You can read all about that at www.andesmotoextreme.com, it was quite grueling, they had to use ropes to pull the bike up some sections!
The record was set In Ojos de Salado, around 150 km north east of Copiapó in Chile. Ojos de Salado is the highest active volcano in South America and its sides have a relatively gentle gradient.
So I have chosen this area to make my attempt. The highest motorable road in the world is in Tibet at 5,565m. My aim is to beat this and set a new altitude record for a Honda Cub.
Any reader of this will be aware of the Honda Cub's status in the world. It is the most iconic motorcycle in the world and holds the record for the most produced motorcycle (and vehicle) of all time having sold in excess of 60 million motorcycles! So a record should exist for it. I have applied to Guinness World Records to create a new category for the highest altitude Honda Cub.
Altitude and Risks
There are many risks associated with undertaking this. Firstly the effect of altitude on the human body. If proper acclimatisation is not carried out then there is risk of experiencing altitude sickness which can become serious plus there are risks of developing pulmonary edemas.
The reduced level of oxygen over 3000m means that ever action carried out above these height can be very physically taxing on the body. Any time spent over 5200m starts to weaken the body. Nobody lives above 5250m around the world.
To try an give us a good chance of making this we will be spending between two to 3 nights above 3700m.
Secondly weather conditions and the cold is going to be an issue. At these altitudes; any rain or snow and *things can very cold very quickly.
Thirdly, actually keeping the bike running at this altitude maybe difficult. Fuel needs oxygen to burn above 5000m the air density is around 50% of sea level air density. Therefore the bike will tend to run rich as all the fuel being sucked into the engine will not be combusted thus the bike being severely down on power and it simply might not fire up up much over 5000m.
Team Honda Vs The World
To undertake this challenge I have assembled a crack team of international experts, all experts in their particular field. My brother Gavin Dillon and Gordon Jackson. Gavin's is in charge of opening tight jars and tying ropes. Gordon is in charge of eating stuff and lifting heavy things. I'm in charge of balancing pineapples on my head and making the bike go.
The Expert Team
But seriously, Gavin is a trained crane operator and rigger and Gordon is a trained firefighter and first responder, he is also a stripper (though I'm not sure how that skill might come in useful on the side of the volcano).
I have been busy the last few days applying for permits to climb the mountain, I have put a lot of thought into the safety aspects of this as obviously it will be a risky undertaking. I will have my SPOT Connect GPS messanger with me also, I can send SOS and Assist Messages from this device. The messages are received by an international operations room who co-ordinate a rescue attempt with local emergency services.
The bike.
I have changed the front sprocket from and 15 tooth to a 13 tooth sprocket. I have also changed the rear sprocket from a 39 tooth to a 45 tooth. This should give me some great climbing ability. I will not touch the carb apart form opening out the air screw. The needle is already in its lowest position. I have got a smaller main jet which I may use if i cant get the bike going at high altitude.
I have also taken the clutch apart and cleaned the clutch plates to make sure they have good binding. As a trial run I stripped the bike down to the form it will be used on the mountain and relocated the back box. This will be put back to the old configuration for the ride out there to carry all the equipment and supplies and then put into 'mountain mode' again at Camp Murray.
We have no support vehicle so we have to carry everything with us on the bikes. Enough food, water and gas for 6 days, plus our camping and cooking gear and spare clothes.
I've managed to get my hands on 2 GPS's a Garmin eTrex 20 and a Garmin Colorado 400t. Thanks Omar and our buddy Darren from Darren&Eric otherwise know as Derik.
The Plan
Day 1-2- Copiapo to Luguna Santa Rosa *- Depart on Monday 28th January.
We will leave Copiapo and drive 120 km to Laugna Santa Rosa (3700m above sea level). We will stay there over night to acclimatise, do a spot of exploring and maybe some fishing. Here we will check over our gear and make any modifications to the bike. The bike will be stripped of everything unnecessary to lighten the load.
Day 2-3 We will make our move to Camp Murray. Camp Murray is located at 4500m. We will over night there and prepare for a difficult day the next day
Day 3-5 Ojos de Salado
These 2 days will be spent on the mountain side trying to bring the bike as high as it can go. Depending on our progress the bike may have to be abandoned on the side of the mountain over night and another crack made at it the next day.
Day 5-6
Time to make our way down the mountain. Hopefully sucessful with a new World Record under our belts!!. We may over night again at Laguna Santa Rosa on the way back.
You can keep and eye on our progress on the the "Where's Seán?" button on the website. The SPOT device will track us a update the map every time a location is sent I will also be able to post short messages on arsebook from SPOT GPS devise.. how cool is that eh?
Hopefully the *next time I write here we'll have be the holder of a new World Record for this recording breaking bike!!!
What an incredible ride you've been on already, we'd like to read and see more of your ride... :thumb Good luck with your second adventure :thumb
Go, go go! Great!
Pretty slick...looking forward to,reading about this.
Bejaysus bucko yer some man for one man.:clap:1drink
Who knew?????
Had no idea those old Hondas would last so long or do so much. The sheer lunacy of of attempting a record like that makes me stay to watch. Just like a train wreck, you know what is going to happen but you can't turn away. I think you are going to do it as crazy as that is. I truly applaud your efforts throughout this entire ride but to do this, my hat is off to you.:clap Keep us all posted. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one rooting for you to do this. Make us even prouder man.
Less is more! Go for it!
Honda Cub Follies
This is terrific ! :clap .
I'm one of those idiots who still loves long distance touring on my various Honda 90's....
I don't see the red button you said to click on but no worries , I'll just pop in here and keep abreast :deal .
BE CAREFUL !:ricky .
I am friends with a couple of the guys from the "Husaberg adventure team".
If by some chance you beat their record on a honda cub... I will be able to give them so much crap! :D:rofl:D
When I was in Ireland this summer, on my RTW... People always wanted to talk about you. You are quite the celeb there!
Good luck! keep going!
This looks like it could be good.
It is obvious from the resumes and picture of Gavin and Gordon that the most talented team has been assembled for this ascent since Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were partners. The choice of equipment seems appropriate at 90cc and the weather isn't too outrageous considering you are in the upper atmosphere. Now, just be very careful about what shrooms you pick to eat and for God's sake do not talk to any Tuna playing an accordion. We are all waiting down here at base camp for your return.
Awesome and hilarious at the same time.
Good luck!
Best of luck on your climb to the top.
Base camp to cloud climber.
Que pasa?
U know you're off your rocker.that means its gonna be a hell of a drinking session when ya get back!!! Will ya invite me. I won't tell ur Ma.:clap

Much farther in
By JudahJones 1 Comments
So have racked up 25+ hours in FFXIII. I'm at chapter 9. Yup still running through coridors. but fortunately so many other abiliites and nuances of the game have showed too so the corridor crawl isnt too bad. i really turned the curve once a buddy of mine (as well as a FAQ) broke down the leveling system. Now my characters actually kick ass as opposed to just surviving each battle. though i got the hang of the staggering and juggling of pradigms down pretty pat (especially since one of my favrite things to do in dragon Age and FFXII was to play around in the gambits/tactics system endlessly. Frankly, its actually the battle system that keeps me coming back. I finally think I know whats going on in the story, but am not a big fan of how the continously break up the continuity . Still, it gets you to understand each character and their reasons. Though it seems weird how some characters go from wanting to murder another in their sleep, to being totally cool (and vice versa).
Funnily enough Sazh, despite seeming like the expected black buffoon character "Damn! thats wack!" "i'm getting to old for this" "oh no you didnt!" etc. Actually seems to be the most human and relatable character. His motivations and reactions are actually plausible to understand (rather than the usual JRPG over emoting) dealing with son. Not quite as badass as Barrett, but he'll do fine. Looking very forward to getting to the famous Chapter 11 when everything opens up and I can go on the various hunts to test out my suped up weapons. one interesting note that i wasnt aware of, but there is very little NPC dialogue in the game. And you know what, i actually dont mind that. i think back to lost odyssey where I was forever running around the massive world looking for a tiny no name town in which the innkeeper would have to be spoken to to initiate a fetch quest of some trinket half the world over. I dont mind the streamlining at all in FFXIII, but it its the pacing of it thats the biggest culprit. While in previous traditional JRPGs you needed to have patience to wade through all the fluff of multiple towns and NPC conversations, FFXIII gets rid of all that, but that same amount of patience is needed to make it through the story, culminating in this famous chapter 11 that i have yet to experience. think it will be worth it though.

How not to spend our cash
I am disgusted by the report on overspending by Lewisham Council (News Shopper, June 26).
I can understand how the crisis occurred.
Let me give an example.
I had four broken paving stones outside my house in Clayhill Crescent last year.
When I drew the council's attention to this, the contractor came round but only changed one.
I phoned again sometime ago and one more was replaced, leaving two.
I would like to know why all four were not replaced in one job and at one price.
If this is the way the council works, I'm not surprised about the overspending.
The road on Clayhill Crescent needs resurfacing as it is full of potholes but, of course, there is no money to do that. So what exactly is our council tax spent on?

1975 Maserati Bora red
About This 1975 Maserati Bora
Posted: 15 Feb 2004
This is an absolutely gorgeous one owner Bora. The owner has been told by everyone who sees it, including Maserati factory officials and club members, that this is probably the most perfect, unmolested, unrestored, original, pristine, and perfect Maserati Bora on the planet. It should come as no surprise that it won 'Best of Show' in the January, 2001 le Belle Macchine d'Italia at Pocono Raceway, which is one of the few times it has been seen in public.
This is a one owner, no accident, never smoked in, and fanatically maintained car which has been kept in a heated and humidity controlled garage since new. The car has been maintained by professional mechanics who work at the owner's high line service facility. The car is perfectly drivable and is driven very occasionally and recently to local shows without incident. Everything on the car is in perfect working order. The tires were recently replaced with the closest possible duplicates of the discontinued original tires and are in excellent condition like the entire car. There are no immediate repairs needed to the car.
Paint: Excellent. The paint is the original paint and shows very few flaws. There are one or two paint cracks and flakes from aging, but nearly all of the paint is perfect. There is slight orange peel in the paint on the right side cowl near the passenger's windshield wiper. As the original owner has never repainted the vehicle, the conclusion is it came from the factory that way.
Chrome: Excellent original condition.
Glass: Excellent condition, clear, no cracks, pits, or chips.
Interior: Clean and in excellent condition, showing only minor wear, and never smoked in.
Mechanical Condition: Everything works on the car. The underside has its original heavy black paint and is very solid with only slight surface rust on some of the exposed suspension parts.
The technically advanced features and styling assure this car's classic status and desirability for years to come. To restore another car to this level would be outrageously expensive. This one has been kept pristine and is ready to show or drive just the way it is.
If you are looking for an Ferrari, Lamborghini, NSX, Porsche, or Corvette, you owe it to yourself to check out this car. Truly a one of a kind automobile.

Hi, I am looking for a highen tablet and the two that are considered the "best" are the Google Nexus 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. 60% of the time that I will be using this tablet is going to be for android app development and quick reference, ie googling a question. The other 40% is mostly going to be used for school and sometimes games . Any ideas which one I should get? Thanks.
Hi, I am looking for a highen tablet and the two that are considered the "best" are the Google Nexus 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. 60% of the time that I will be using this tablet is going to be for android app development and quick reference, ie googling a question. The other 40% is mostly going to be used for school and sometimes games . Any ideas which one I should get? Thanks.
I can't really tell you which is better because both are "good" tablets. Neither is great in my opinion, though for me, I preferred the nexus 10 over the note 10.1 (and I own a note phone).
Reasons: Nexus 10 resolution is fantastic but the contrast compared to a superAMOLED screen is pittiful. Nexus 10 displays blacks like greys. Still, the resolution makes up for it because even with my eyeball one inch from the screen, I cannot see a pixel.
Another negative that nexus is probably not so good for developing is 4.2.1. At least half my apps crash on the nexus, or are simply not optimized for the crazy high resolution. While developing for 4.2.1 would be smart, keep in mind that most devices are still on ICS or gingerbread still. When I go to an app in the market half of the 1 star reviews are from people saying it crashes on xxx device running 4.0/2.3 android.
So pick you poison. Luckily the note 10.1 can be found on "deals" for less than the $500+ nexus 10.
The "pure Google" thing is getting funny. What could possibly be better about having less features rather than more? Back in the days of 512K of RAM when SoCs were slow and overlays crude, poor performance drove people to AOSP/AOKP and de-bloated custom ROMs. That's not really the case anymore. The h/w is now more capable than the UI and apps running on it.
I played with a friends N10 over the holidays and, feature wise, it was a barren wasteland compared to the Note. The phone UI on a 10" tablet is bizarre. Similarly he was amazed at what the Note could do that his N10 couldn't. The N10 has a faster SoC than the Note but when you factor in the PPI it's pushing and that memory bandwidth is hard-partitioned to support the display it's certainly not any faster. And with app incompatibility because of the resolution some apps behave poorly or dont work at all.
The Note has IO accessories available to match the N10's ports, takes up to a 64GB exFAT SD card for expansion, has an IR port, larger speakers than the N10, and gets significantly better battery life and charges 1/3 faster. It also doesn't have light bleed. Without question the N10 will get updates ten times faster than the Note. But so what, it'll still do 1/3 of the things the Note can do right now. It'll just be Google's barren OS with updates. I've disabled Google Now because I don't use any of their native apps that it depends on to harvest data and for some reason it thinks I work at a McDonalds because I stop at one frequently. As a value-priced consumption device with a great display the N10's a solid choice. For people interested in creating and managing content the Note's a better choice. Its 147PPI display is fine for pics and videos and doesn't require upscaling like the N10's display does. It's obviously not as good for text and computer generated content like the UI and that's a compromise you have to make to get the additional features. So for people looking for something beyond consumption I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the Note. It's already sold 5MM units and I'd be surprised based on its limited distribution if the N10's sold 1MM.
OP, if the things in this video mean anything to you consider the Note. If all you care about is consumption and the display the N10's a better choice.
Just like stock doesnt work for you, Touchwiz simply doesnt work for others. Some dont like it because its ugly, some dont like it because it introduces compatibility problems with apps (a really big concern for this post considering OP is a dev), some dont like them because they slow down the device (more so with Motorola's skins). The only advantage I see with Touchwiz over stock is the multiwindow stuff, and then its nothing that others, be it Google themselves or devs here, couldn't replicate.

how long you dudes been on this site?
Album Rating: 3.5Nice review. It read quite well.
Long enough, but I never read Kill's reviews apparently, except the Rush ones. I just see that aspect fitting to an older album tbh, rather than a 2013 one. It's not like this one has changed some part of music in any way whatsoever. I would use it for something like Sabbath, Maiden, Pantera, King Crimson, etc. Those definitely have a different perception now compared to their time.
its a joke man! :D
just lighten up
this whole thing is a joke review
This one yes, but I actually saw him tell in a list this is how he usually rates. Maybe he was trolling there, too, who knows.
this review is a parody of the people who jizz all over this album and think its gods gift to the world, as well as the elitists
who hate on it for no real coherent reason.
also that stupid rating thing at the end is somewhat of a sputnik meme and was originally in a slayer review
I see. Well, I liked the review anyway.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffIt's not like this is that old of an album.
I know but usually hype wears thin after a month or two.

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 10/28/12
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- After he was done stomping, Chris Harper got busy stumping. "Because they play that fast offense and everybody sees the helmets going past really fast, everyone thinks they're faster than what they are," the Kansas State's senior receiver said Saturday when asked about the Oregon Ducks, his former program and -- here's a twist -- one of the Wildcats' key competitors for a berth in the Bowl Championship Series title game. "I mean, they have guys that can run. But I was there. And I've seen the guys. "Like with LaMichael (James) and those guys, they wouldn't have been the fastest player on this team. You know, maybe the guy -- what's the guy's name? No. 6 (De'Anthony Thomas). I don't know. He's fast. But I mean, our fastest player is faster than their fastest player." And here you thought, after Nov. 6, the politicking was over. Brother, it's only just begun.

The quiche looked pretty when I took it out of the oven but the onion soup taste was overwhelming. Maybe it would be better with half or a third of a package of the dry onion soup mix.

From the sound of it, Carolyn Mitchell will never get over how a shopping trip to buy shoes for a church banquet ended up with her being stopped at gunpoint and handcuffed as a bank robbery suspect.
In front of her 12-year-old son. In front of everybody who drove by the Sears mall that afternoon. In front of everyone who caught the Channel 2 evening news.
But the people on the other side of the guns and cuffs believed they were dealing with a possible bank robber, someone who could be armed and dangerous. The rules are very clear in that kind of situation, police officials said. They have to make sure they, and everyone around them, is safe. There's no reasonable alternative, they say.
It all happened May 8, 2004.
Mitchell, an Anchorage businesswoman and mother of two, said the ordeal terrified and humiliated her. She sued the municipality and police officers involved for false arrest, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violation of her civil rights. She sought compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorney's fees in excess of $100,000.
Her claims went up against police policies and procedures. The officers involved, as well as those they answer to, testified that they handled the initial stages of the robbery investigation with safety as their top priority. They did things by the book. Nobody got hurt and the real robber was ultimately arrested.
Mitchell argued that she most certainly was hurt. Maybe not physically but in other life-altering ways.
For the most part, the jury didn't agree. She lost, and lost big.
Even though the judge sided with her in her false arrest claim, in a separate proceeding held several months later, a jury awarded her just $1 in damages. Of the remaining claims, the jury went with the defendants. In the end, the judge declared the municipality the legal winner.
Just when Mitchell didn't think it could get worse, it did. Now, more than four years later, the court ordered her to pay the cost of the trial, including the city's lawyer fees -- $45,594.
Minus that $1 false arrest award.
"No one will be able to make me understand it," Mitchell said. "This is the price you pay as a citizen for taking them to court. I feel like I'm being punished."
Here's what happened and why according to interviews and court documents. First, from Mitchell's perspective.
She and her family were immersed in a church conference in the days leading up to the incident. The afternoon of the formal banquet, with her son Damarcus in tow, Mitchell went to Sears to look for shoes and an outfit for her daughter, Neisha. After paying, she headed for the door to the parking lot on Northern Lights. Just before the lingerie department, police officers with weapons drawn came down the aisles and motioned for the two of them to turn around and go the opposite direction.
"My son, he was 12 years old at the time, and he was afraid," Mitchell said. "He thought it was a bomb threat. He said, 'Mom, we got to hurry up and get out of here.' "
They scurried out the main door and into the mall as directed. Along with other shoppers, they were ushered down the hallway to the door facing Benson Boulevard. There, they were met by officers pointing Remington 870 shotguns at them. Everyone move aside, one said, except for "the African American female."
"I'm looking around," Mitchell said, "and my son and I were the only African Americans."
"We're holding hands and I'm scared," said Damarcus, now 17. "We don't know what's going on."
What was going on, and what they wouldn't learn until later, was an attempted robbery at the Wells Fargo bank down the mall. Officers thought Mitchell fit the suspect's description.
"They ordered my son to move out of the way," she said. "They were so harsh. I kept asking, 'What did I do?' What did I do?' "
While another gave him cover, an officer ordered Mitchell to drop her purse, drop her shopping bag, turn around and put her hands in the air.
"I kept saying, 'Oh my god, WHAT did I DO?' "
He then ordered her to start walking backward, to drop her hands and put them behind her back.
She did as she was told.
"I dropped my hands and they put handcuffs on me. Then they started asking me, did I have any weapons? And they started pat-searching me."
They looked through her shopping bag. They dumped the contents of her purse on the back of a police car. They found her military ID card -- her husband, Eddie, was on active duty at the time -- and ran it through the system.
Mitchell, worried sick about her son, asked if he could use her cell phone to call his dad.
They wouldn't allow it.
After they found no weapons, she asked if they could take off the cuffs; they were hurting her wrists.
The answer was no.
Then the officers moved her out to the corner of the Sears automotive section, not much more than a car's width from traffic on Benson.
On display is how she felt.
"I'm right on Benson in handcuffs," she said. "They had me standing there, and all of the people driving by, they were gawking at me. Oh my god, so embarrassing.' "
Charlotte and Jerard Lecato were among those passing motorists who slowed down to see what all the fuss was about.
"The parking lot was full of police and weapons were out," Jerard Lecato recalled. "As we were going by, I looked over and ... 'Wait a minute, that looks like Sister Mitchell over there. Yeah, and that's Damarcus.' "
The families knew each other from church. The Lecatos pulled over.
"I asked Sister Mitchell if she was OK," Jerard said. "She said, no she wasn't, and she was crying.
"Damarcus, he was really shook up. And he was crying."
Mitchell stood on that corner for at least 20 minutes, she said, until the bank teller came to take a look and said she wasn't the one.
"(The officers) came over, they gave me my purse, they gave me my bag, they undid my handcuffs and told me I was free to go."
They never did apologize, she said.
That night, Channel 2 showed footage of the scene, which included Mitchell standing, hands behind her back with two officers. Although not identified by name and shot at distance that mostly obscured her face, she believes she was recognizable to anyone who knew her. She was mortified.
ARMED and DANGEROUS
From the law enforcement prospective, here's what went down and why.
After the call came in, cops swooped upon the Mall at Sears from various directions interviewing witnesses, looking for the bank robber and getting the public out of harm's way.
Witnesses described the suspect as a heavyset African-American female in her 30s wearing a dark blue shirt, dark sunglasses, a black headband or bandana, tennis shoes and carrying a dark bag. Since the robber claimed to have a gun, that meant the suspect was considered armed and dangerous.
Mitchell, 45 at the time, was smaller and wearing a white, nylon jogging suit with a light blue shirt underneath. She was carrying a purse and a white Sears bag, and was with a child.
When a serious crime has just occurred, information is usually limited, Anchorage Police Department Senior Patrol Officer John Daily explained in an affidavit. Officers are trained to be suspicious of what they hear from dispatch, which almost always is second- or third-hand.
"Eyewitness descriptions of suspects are never perfect and are sometimes quite inaccurate."
Plus, a crime like bank robbery is usually pre-planned.
"We have had dozens of incidents in which the robber not only had accomplices and a getaway plan, but also had alternative clothing, sunglasses and the like stashed nearby for a quick change. ... We may expect one thing, but we have to be prepared for the unexpected."
In a situation like this, where the robber said she had a gun, there was no taking chances.
"The Court has the benefit of knowing, now, that Ms. Mitchell was not the armed bank robber," APD Capt. Bill Miller said in an affidavit of his own. "The officers did not have that luxury, and it was their job to proceed on the assumption that she was dangerous."
Going down Mitchell's list of grievances, the handcuffs were for safety, Miller explained. For the safety of the officers, the safety of the public, and the safety of the suspect, who might try to escape.
"To remove handcuffs after a weapons check, or because the suspect seems like a nice lady who wouldn't hurt anyone, is a big mistake, and we train our officers accordingly," Miller stated. "... This is the kind of slipup that gets officers killed."
The force used was not disproportionate to the risk reasonably foreseen at the time, the city argued.
As those who testified explained, Mitchell's son wasn't allowed to use her cell phone because he could have been calling an accomplice. And Mitchell was not held in the backseat of a police car, which would have protected her from public view, for a good reason.
Mitchell, as well as three other suspects that afternoon, were being held until the bank teller could do a "show-up," a law enforcement term for eyewitness identification. Having Mitchell in a police car could have created bias that she was the one.
As for false arrest, Mitchell was not arrested, Miller insisted. She was legitimately detained during the investigation of a crime.
"At such a crime scene, unfortunately, sometimes a citizen's freedom and convenience have to temporarily take a back seat to public safety."
Police caught the real robber, Cynthia Washington, on Fourth Avenue that same evening, dressed in dark clothing with a black wrap on her head, just as the teller described. She later pleaded guilty to bank robbery.
Walt Monegan, police chief at the time, wrote Mitchell a letter offering "a belated 'Thank you' " for her cooperation and a personal apology on behalf of the department for any embarrassment she and her son endured.
In the letter, Monegan acknowledged that the officers never apologized nor adequately explained why she was being detained.
"This was not in keeping with department policy and undoubtedly made the incident more stressful and upsetting for you than it already was."
Mitchell said she appreciated the letter, but it came nearly seven months after the fact. And it didn't say anything about holding her in handcuffs with guns drawn being wrong. She filed her lawsuit a few weeks later.
Father and son attorney team, Moshe and Isaac Zorea, represented Mitchell in her suit against the city, APD, Monegan and officers Ross Henikman and Justin Voss, the two directly involved.
In her written statement, Mitchell states that while she was being held, she felt her and her son's lives were in jeopardy. "Innocent people get shot all the time."
"I couldn't sleep at night," she said of the aftermath. "I would wake up with guns in my face. ... I'd wake up screaming and my husband had to hold me to go to sleep."
A beautician, Mitchell told the court she was too embarrassed to go back to work and had to cancel a week-and-half's worth of appointments. She also claims being mistaken for a bank robber cost her clients.
She said people saw her on the evening news. She said she had to go to counseling. She was so traumatized, she said, that she changed the locks on her doors and still can't think about that day without crying.
She thinks the incident has deeply impacted her son.
She was treated the way she was, she believes, because of the color of her skin.
Federal District Judge John Sedwick ruled in her favor on the false arrest claim, that what the officers did went beyond an investigatory stop as the city argued.
The judge threw out the claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress before sending the rest of the case to the jury.
After listening to arguments from both sides, the jury decided Mitchell's attorneys failed to prove damages in spite of the false arrest. As for the remaining two claims, the jurors didn't find extreme or outrageous police conduct and denied them as well.
"I had this all-white jury," Mitchell said. "I didn't have a jury of my peers."
Since overall the defendants won, the judge, as with most civil suits, said the loser had to pay the winner's attorneys fees and other court costs. In his order, Sedwick tacked on $5,000 for what he called "the unreasonableness" of Mitchell's claims.
"He feels as though my case was frivolous," Mitchell said. "He felt as though I was playing the victim."
She's right. He did.
"Mitchell sought to play the role of the victim of outrageous official behavior warranting an award of punitive damages," Sedwick wrote, "when in fact she was simply a citizen caught up by chance in an effort to protect public safety and apprehend a bank robber...
"Mitchell herself did not act vexatiously or in bad faith. She had a very frightening experience. She felt wronged. She sought help from her lawyer. Unfortunately, her lawyer did not help her understand that sometimes the price citizens must pay to protect society from dangerous criminals is exposure to frightening situations."
Mitchell and her family are devastated by the ruling. And they now owe an awful lot of money. But it's not over.
Her case is headed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
"I'm just really, really tired," she said. "If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't be standing."
