Chipping Away at the Sectarian Story: An Interview with Quais Abdul Raazzaq
Part One
Posted by Bill
The primary intent of my trip is to assess parts of the situation in Anbar, one of the two pivotal political and warfighting theatres of the conflict in Iraq. Of course the other theatre, subject to intense media attention, is Baghdad, the internationally recognized political center of gravity and violent microcosm of the country's larger ethnic divisions. Don't mistake outsized media focus for narrative clarity, however: trying to decipher just what's going on in Baghdad - much less the entirety of Iraq - is a bewilderingly complex task, as ably communicated by Christopher Hitchens in Slate:
Up and down the switchback one goes. At a party in the Green Zone featuring various politicians and intellectuals, I was told of the heartening success of the negotiations on oil revenues, with all parties agreeing in principle to share this national resource among the regions and provinces. On more or less the same day, a move in parliament to create a cross-party bloc of national unity was undone by Shiite hard-liners. In the morning, I was shown a proposal for the opening of an American University of Sulaymaniyah, offering degree courses in a wide range of subjects to students regardless of ethnic or religious origin. By the evening, I was being told of an exodus of qualified Iraqis to Jordan that now almost exceeds the number of educated people fleeing the country under Saddam Hussein.
I suggest reading the whole thing, which I offer as a companion to my disclaimer: it's absurd to think that two days and several conversations in Baghdad grant special expertise on such a complex topic. That said, several aspects of Iraq's difficulties are coming into consistent focus.
Yesterday I met with an Iraqi journalist with the intent of acquiring his help in scouring the Green Zone for a cross-section of Iraqi opinion on the execution of Saddam Hussein. Instead we wound up talking for a few hours about Iraq's past, present and future, the roots of the conflict between Shia and Sunni, American motives and shortcomings, and his prescriptions for a better Iraq. The conversation - already difficult through the barrier of my non-existent Arabic and his serviceable if halting English - was at times frustratingly contradictory and surprising; but perhaps the biggest surprise of all was how many of the conventional narratives suspected by amateur analysts in America wound up validated by this man's first-hand opinion.
Quais Abdul Raazzaq is a 41 year-old correspondent for Reporters without Borders (among other outlets) who is well known to Western reporters in Baghdad, one of whom described him as a frank, honest man. All called him likable. I suspect that this status among foreign correspondents lends him significant influence to build the media's narrative about Iraq, as both an information source and a reporter in his own right. He is a Sunni, though he bristles at the popular characterization of this fact, which rigidly demarcates him from his Iraqi "Shia brothers" in the public's perception of a bloody sectarian conflict. Prior to the war, Raazzaq was a cameraman for Iraq Satellite TV, an arm of the government's information ministry, but he stresses that he was "not a member of the Baath."
And while he has significant criticisms of Saddam Hussein's regime, if forced to simply categorize his perspective, I'd label him an educated Sunni who believes Iraq was better off under the former dictator, and one who greatly fears the Iranian and Shiite militia influence in Iraq's politics and current violence. Despite the domestic horrors and wars of aggression stemming from Hussein's rule, Raazzaq's wistful reminiscence for a pre-war Iraq is not exactly irrational, given his frame of reference.
Please note: when Raazzaq refers to "parties" or "members" in the interview, he is often (but not always) referencing Iranian-backed Shiite militant influences in the current Iraqi government.
INDC: Tell me, what is the overall Iraqi reaction to the execution?
Raazzaq: "Before he was executed, we heard some people talk about there being fighting or demonstrations on the streets, but I don't believe it because ... for our history it's nothing. Saddam is gone. We should see our future and forget about Saddam."
INDC: A colleague had mentioned that you are a Sunni ...
Raazzaq: "I am Sunni. (But) I am Iraqi."
INDC: ... and perhaps a nationalist. So can you tell me: is there a different reaction among the Sunni and the Shia? The story is sometimes portrayed as the Shia celebrating, while some of the Sunni are upset about the execution.
Raazzaq: "Listen my friend, we don't like to talk about the revenge (between) Sunni or Shia, that because I am Sunni I am sad about the execution. In Saddam's rule, even we didn't pay attention (to the difference), (because) we are Islamic. Because I am Islam, I think Islam was a big, big, big mercy for all the world, not only the (Muslim), but the Christian, the Jewish, because there is a rule: I can't see another human - especially Arabic or Islamic - and see him dying and say 'I am happy because he is died.' Or 'should be revenge.' Our God - He can say (that man) is good or is bad. It is up to our God. But I don't want to be ... sad (about the execution) because I am Sunni."
"Saddam was stupid in his rule. We suffered about 35 years in his society and he always make hard relationship with our neighborhood. So it does not mean that because I am Sunni I am sad about him. Saddam, he was our leader and we are very sorry about his execution because we are now happy (during) four days of our Eid (the holiday celebration at the end of the Haj), that lets all of the Iraqis be happy, especially after we have suffered after 2003. And really we need to sometimes feel we are happy and visit with our families and forget about the war. And (for the execution) to kill the special (feeling during) the first day (of Eid) is sad."
INDC: But surely you admit that some are pretty happy about his death ...
Raazzaq: "I tell you, Saddam was stupid about his rule, but this does not mean all the Shia suffered during his rule; Saddam punished everyone who stood up against his society. I am not a member of his Baath Party, but this does not mean I should hate him or love him."
"I swear, you can talk with many people, he didn't kill any Shia people (for being Shia), all the people in Mosul and South Iraq when he visited any town, the people make a demonstration and say 'welcome Saddam' and (are) very happy and sometimes dancing. That mean Saddam not hate all Shia people. Saddam hate anyone who stand up against his society."
"Some parties in Iraq have a bad history here in Iraq. That's why we feel today, now we have more than 50 parties since 2003, and what's happened to us? You see sectarian violence, people killed, ministry killed, the gunman kill, the criminal kill, but where is the law within our country? Saddam give us one thing: he protected all the Iraqis with good security. And during Saddam's rule you could go anywhere. He who live in Basra, he can work in Mosul. He who live in Mosul could work in Baghdad. (Now) you cannot go to Mosul. (Not) because that is 'a place (only) for Sunni,' (but) because there is big trouble."
INDC: But when you say that Saddam only killed those who opposed him - much of it goes a lot farther than that; he killed quite a lot of innocents who weren't politically active ...
Raazzaq: "In Saddam rule there were many parties he stand against ... and killed and put them in prison, like Islamic Party and ... other parties, those also from Sunni, (in addition to) Shia, Christian, and others."
We danced a rhetorical circle around this issue several times, but only after listening to the interview on tape did I grasp our disconnect: while Raazzaq was glossing over some of Saddam's crimes for nostalgia or the sake of expedience, he was also trying to express that Saddam did not persecute and was not in turn hated primarily because of the division between the sects of Islam. Saddam exercised Stalinesque violence against all perceived as a threat, regardless of religious identification. Cutting the other way, it is a mistake to perceive Sunnis as automatically sympathetic towards the dictator, because all ethnic groups suffered to some extent under his rule.
INDC: So do you think that the security was worth (the level of) violence under Saddam, or do you think things may turn out better now, even though security and violence are terrible ...
Raazzaq: "Listen my friend, we don't have choice, we just (have to) see what happens with our eyes. We didn't see anything good for us until this moment. Our leadership today they say 'give us the time, in just one hour or two hours we (will rebuild), with a revolution of construction, we will bring back the electricity.' (But) what's happened now? It's nothing. The example is you can't see the traffic lights on the street, so people have to control (it) themselves."
INDC: So the basic infrastructure of civil society is not working ...
Raazzaq: "Naturally, of course; because our leaders ... from our parties (are) still protected by the big wall of concrete. Protected by US troops in the Green Zone. (A leader) couldn't go around the town or he couldn't go to meet the people and ask them 'why do you still suffer? What is the problem with the electricity?'"
"They bring us (the) electricity minister and he announced in his press conference 'we are trying to repair, we are bring(ing) from Iran seventy-hundred watts of electricity, Syria gives us, Turkey gives us,' but it is still nothing. Saddam, in his rule after 1991... after 6 months he returned the electricity, he returned good construction building for all our ministries, (but) now what's happening?"
Raazzaq went on to describe the problem behind executive inaction: the political patronage of Iraq's new direct democracy had squeezed qualified workers - especially former Baathists and Sunnis - out of ministry jobs. In a country with tragically high unemployment and a politically ascendant underclass, such jobs constitute an irresistible reward system that distorts an effective workforce. Multiple sources, from civilian and military press that I've spoken to who are familiar with the Iraqi ministries, to the Hitchens' piece linked earlier in this post, verify Raazzaq's opinion that Iraq's bureaucratic inertia greatly stems from political patronage standing up unqualified candidates. Compounding the problem is turnover; as one set of bureaucrats fails and is let go en masse, another set of unqualified familial and political patrons takes over, resetting the learning curve required to actually accomplish the functions of the ministry in question. As he put it:
Raazzaq: "All ministries now are split up (and run by political parties) who put only their member and let the others go. It is not good. And when their (party) members are gone, they bring in another (party) and it is nothing."
"Ask the people: even under Saddam rule we have 5 or 6 hours (of) electricity. Now, ask the people: they just have one maybe two hours."
He went on to document many of the same complaints common to news reports and many of the voluminous pre-US election books that catalogued American mistakes after the invasion: the disbanding of the Army, the extent of the Baath purge, inflation in the price of fuel, lack of electricity, the failure to quickly inject reconstruction money and jobs into the economy and, first and foremost, the failure to quickly assert authority and establish security. It's impossible to know if some or all of these observations are part of a feedback loop between a prominent Iraqi source and the popular narrative; It's also impossible to say whether different actions by the Coalition would have brought us to a remarkably better Iraq in 2007, given the country's internal division and meddling neighbors; but Raazzaq made his case with conviction, and he's not exactly lonely in his views.
This ends part one of the interview. In the second installment, we'll talk more about popularly perceived Shia and Sunni divisions (or lack thereof), as well as his perception of the motivation behind the sectarian violence gripping Iraq. After that, I press Raazzaq to look beyond exclusively negative argumentation and offer his vision of a solution to Iraq's problems.

I think your suspicion is telling about the journalistic process of covering this war.

And probably spot on.

I wonder if he is maybe too Baghdad-centric. He talks about the electricity not being available even though the electricity minister says it is. Could it be because there are areas that now have electricity who never did before so that although the total of the grid actually is higher it is dispersed differently so that some who maybe had a surplus of it before might not have so much now?

"...under Saddam rule we have 5 or 6 hours (of) electricity. Now... just have one maybe two hours."
And why is that? For anyone interested in this issue I highly recommend reading this brief US Army October 2006 article. The article makes the following points:
1. Insurgency: "Nine of the transmission lines bringing power into Baghdad have been... Blown up." If those lines were up and operating Baghdad would have in excess of 12 hours of power per day. "The minister and his people have tried on numerous occasions to repair these lines. They keep getting attacked, killed, kidnapped and threatened."
2. Saddam's Power: Under Saddam Hussein, the lights in Baghdad were on all day and night..." Baghdad pulled its power away from the rest of Iraq...now, outside of Baghdad, they have gone from zero in some cases, up to twelve or fourteen hours of power a day..."Unfortunately...Baghdad has paid the price for that."
3. Total peak power- pre vs. post war: The peak generation capacity of Iraq's nationwide network is now 4,500 megawatts -- still short of the goal of 6,000 megawatts, but higher than the pre-war levels of 4,200.
4. USA contribution: 520 electricity-related projects and completed 220 of them so far...expects to complete its remaining 300 construction projects in the next year or two..."$4 billion that we have spent on electricity here in Iraq in the three years has done nothing more than what I would call kick-starting the system...You don't rebuild an electric system as bad as this one was, in a short period of time."
5. The Future: 2007 putting Baghdad on its own power footing, with more generation and more facilities in the so-called "Baghdad Ring," so that there's no chain to break. "We don't want the over-reliance on the grid that Baghdad has now,"...."...[B]ringing twenty-four hours of power to all 18 provinces will take "anywhere from $20-30 billion over the next seven years," and with the U.S. no longer budgeting for new construction, that money will have to come from the Iraqis.
For those interested you can track historically total demand and output of Iraqi power here.

Good stuff, Bill.
Posted by: Hubris at January 1, 2007 03:00 PM
Dick you are correct. My friends in the company I work for (not Halliburton) who worked on the power industry in Iraq ending in 2006 told me that the majority of the power was directed to Baghdad before the invasion. We did some damage to the infrastructure during the 1st and 2nd Iraq Wars, but under Saddam Iraqis had limited spare parts as simple as intake fan filters for the power houses. I guess palaces and foreign payoffs had priority for the oil for food moneys. Where there were spares, managers had not shared them out of fear of having a problem in your own sector or plant and then having sent out the parts needed to other facilities, you and your coworkers were at risk. This was more than CYA; it was for survival.
Power line towers were destroyed by the insurgency, but in the south people took them down for scrap; no jobs and the usual greed. To complicate matters, the CPA tried to use continental US procedures for procuring material and labor. Think about having to have project insurance in a war zone and going out for bid in Iraq! Early on, the military had their funds and when really desperate, my friends went to them for money to purchase parts.
The Iraqi grid is much larger now from what I have been told (I haven't looked up the numbers recently) and the power is more evenly distributed across the country. At least one new high voltage line comes in from Jordan. However, Baghdad has power shortages, which the reporters see, but they didn't see it during Saddam's time, so things are much worse, no. And once the sewage plants and water purification plants were rebuilt (from lack of maintenance) or new ones constructed, power was needed. Some have large portable generators to make sure there is power for their operation. Also the Iraqis didn't stand still on power usage with their purchases of high power users such as refrigerators and AC units.
The house to house distribution system is "broke". In many areas power is jumpered by individuals to homes from power lines; a bit dangerous and not too efficient for distributing limited power resources. You can sometimes see and confirm that for yourself from the videos of US patrols.
Now visualize this story from NYC and think about power line crews operating in Iraq, remembering that Saddam released his entire prisoner population at the end of the war reported as approximately 100,000. Some, to be sure, were minor political prisoners. In 1999 I was told that electrical and cable crews are routinely robbed in NYC. While they are on their lifts, criminals walk under them, point their weapons up and demand the men's wallets. I doubt if the insurgents or criminals in Iraq would just demand the wallets.
In my mind most Americans, including reporters, have no good basis of comparison to visualize what the situation is in Iraq; during or now after Saddam. Veteran, respected NYT reporter John Burns essentially stated that in a recent report (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/31/weekinreview/31burns.html?_r=1&oref=slogin). To complicate matters, changing attitudes in Iraq might be a little difficult if you think you have no security or they, as in we, will abandon them. We just don't have an understanding of the fear they have for themselves and for their family since we are accustomed to the rules of law and constitutional protections. If Americans think really hard we could imagine that Anwar Province and Baghdad are just one big Washington D.C. or Detroit intercity area with the ongoing raging drug war and related criminality there. If you lived there, just think about how brave, you and the other truly good citizens in those poor sections of these cities would be to rush out to help and cooperate with the police. A family that fought those types of criminals in Baltimore had their house burned down with them in it. The police had asked them to relocate but couldn't provide around-the-clock home or personal protection. Community leaders complained about their deaths, but no reports were printed that I saw that indicated anyone from that community guarded the family's home or their lives. And remember that DC is our capital and we can't quell the violence there even with strict gun laws.
Freedom isn't free.

Both a reporter and an information source in his own right? Sounds like a journalist's dream! Why go to the bother of interviewing anyone else when one of your own right there in the hotel is also an information source in his own right. As for Raazzaq, why, he need only interview himself. Doesn't get any better than that.

And a pretty common dream, judging from the Jamil Hussein imbroglio.

DURHAM, N.H. – Sarah Dalton scored six second-half goals to spark the 12th-ranked Boston University women's lacrosse team to Wednesday afternoon's 9-8 come-from-behind victory against 18th-ranked University of New Hampshire in America East action at Memorial Field.
UNH, which entered the game with a 10-game home winning streak, is now 7-4 overall and 1-2 in America East. BU won its fifth consecutive game overall to improve to 7-3, 2-0.
Trailing 4-0 at halftime, the Terriers opened the second half with goals by Dalton at 28:17 and 27:17. Dalton struck again at 25:18, this time from close range off Erica Baumgartner's pass from behind the net, to pull the visitors within 4-3 and force UNH to call a timeout.
New Hampshire's Sarah Von Bargen (East Setauket, N.Y.) scored her second goal of the game – 45th of the season – at 24:28. BU goalkeeper Rachel Klein stopped the initial shot by Michaela Hardy (Reading, Mass.), but Von Bargen snared the rebound and deposited a close-range shot high into the net.
The Terriers scored five consecutive goals in an eight-minute span to take an 8-5 lead. Dalton scored at 21:03 when she maneuvered from the right side to the top of the fan and fired a low shot inside the right post to make the score 5-4.
She scored her – and the team's – fifth goal of the game at 20:08 when she converted Corcoran Downey's pass from the right side into a goal from the middle of the fan. BU took its first lead of the game, 6-5, at 19:20 on a goal by Traci Landy, who side-armed a shot from the right side inside the near post.
Almost immediately off the draw, BU's McKinley Curro was awarded a free position, but her low shot from the left wing was stopped by UNH goalie Kate Gunts (Wilton, Conn.).
With 18 minutes on the clock, Hardy was given a free position at the other end of the field, but her attempt from the left wing was denied by Klein. At 16:30, Von Bargen curled from behind the net to the right post, but Klein was in position to deny the high shot.
Boston University extended its lead to 7-5 with a free-position goal at 14:40. From the top of the fan, Hannah Frey scored with a low shot to the right side. Dalton scored her sixth goal of the game at 13:38 when she caught Landy's pass on the left wing, pumped twice as if to shoot and then finally rolled a low shot inside the left post.
UNH trimmed the deficit to 8-6 on a Susie Piotrkowski (Franklin, Conn.) goal at 12:29. She curled from behind the net to the left post and scored from close range.
BU responded with Baumgartner's goal 63 seconds later to reestablish a three-goal advantage.
Shaunna Kaplan (Framingham, Mass.) lifted the 'Cats within 9-7 at 8:12 with a goal from the left wing. She then pulled the home team within one goal, 9-8, at 2:30. With the ball deep on the right wing, she moved with the deception of going behind the net, but then cut back to the right post and fired a shot into the upper-right corner.
The Terriers won the ensuing draw control and, despite a few balls hitting the turf, maintained possession in the offensive zone the rest of the way to secure the victory.
Gunts finished with career-high 11 saves, including six the in second half. Klein was credited with eight saves in both halves for a total of 16.
Kaplan led the 'Cat attack with three goals and an assist. Ashley Durepo (Concord, N.H.) recorded her 100th career point with the second of her two goals, and she now has 74 goals and 26 assists for 100 points. Defensively, Kelli LaPerch (Brewster, N.Y) tallied three ground balls and two caused turnovers while Beth Stankus (Derry, N.H.) had three CTO and two GB. Allie Duclos (South Windsor, Conn.), who entered the game ranked second in the nation in draw controls per game, controlled five draws.
New Hampshire recorded the edge in shots (33-25) and ground balls (18-10), and also committed fewer turnovers (16-19). BU had a 10-9 advantage, including 10-4 in the second half, in draw controls.
UNH recorded a 17-8 shot advantage in the first half in building a 4-0 lead. Kaplan opened the scoring 56 seconds into the game on a free-position goal from the top of the fan.
Durepo fired a free-position shot from the top of the fan into the upper-right corner of the goal to give the 'Cats a 2-0 lead at 22:27.
With 14 minutes on the clock, BU's Landy drove on a free position from the top-left of the fan, but was denied by Gunts. Less than three minutes later, Gunts made another strong save when she denied Xan Weitzel's wraparound attempt at the left post.
At 9:00, UNH's Hayley Rausch (Severna Park, Md.) aimed low on a free position from the top of the fan, but Klein scooped up the ball to keep the differential at two goals.
Three minutes later, Piotrkowski's shot from the middle of the fan ricocheted off the right post, and then at 4:30 Klein turned aside Kaplan's low bid from the left wing.
Von Bargen and Durepo struck 11 seconds apart – at 1:28 and 1:17 – to give New Hampshire a 4-0 lead. From behind the net, Kaplan found Von Bargen cutting from the left side to the middle and she placed a shot inside the right post. Durepo then tallied her 100th career point when LaPerch won the draw control and quickly moved the ball to Durepo, who raced down the middle and fired a shot into the upper-right corner.
Prior to this game, the last time the 'Cats shut out an opponent for an entire half was April 28, 2004 (Vermont; 1st half).
New Hampshire returns to action April 4 (12 p.m.) at UMBC. The Wildcats then open a four-game homestand April 6 against nationally-ranked Cornell. Game time at Memorial Field is 2 p.m.

ah okay, I think I gotcha. so the US games I have tried on my now European Wii are ones I'm just lucky being able to play?
shame we don't know beforehand which games from other regions we can play and which ones we can't.
is there something like a list with games that have updates that would f-up your Wii?

The goal of this Challenge was for the selected Fellows to create a Green Store prototype.
This Green Store prototype needed to be sustainable in terms of materials, construction, energy, operation and other aspects and was realized in Germany. The prototype should be scalable to H&M stores worldwide, be economically beneficial and make the idea of sustainability tangible for customers and employees.
To help solve the Green Store Challenge, Fellows were connected with leading experts on a variety of topics including the environmental impact of construction materials and recycling systems, as well as sustainable interior design and retail operation. Fellows conducted research to identify and understand the status quo of H&M, and its vision of sustainability, in the context of available best-practices regarding sustainable design and operation.
Based on these learning experiences, the Fellows brainstormed, identified, and tested ideas for a Green Store prototype and put them to a real life test for two weeks in the H&M store on Mönckebergstraße in Hamburg, Germany. Focus lay on finding a viable solution that is innovative, scalable, economical and one that fits within the existing H&M Germany framework by focusing on the aspects of idea generation, interior concept & design, communication and operation in store, as well as training of the staff and evaluation of the prototype.
By answering to the Challenge, Fellows learned hands-on how to turn an idea into action during the ten-week Incubation Phase. This process was supported by participation in the Challenge Lab, a course which offers knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to successfully solve the Challenge.
While solving the Challenge, all Fellows worked on turning their own venture idea into a viable social venture plan that is ready for implementation during the following ten-month Implementation Phase.
The Challenge was given by H&M.

UMFK unveils "Rural U" portfolio of Early College Education programs
They say that education is never wasted;and students are encouraged to pursue higher levels of education for the betterment of their futures and now high school students in rural parts of the state are able to get a jump start on that through a program called Rural U that was unveiled at UMFK today.
The program encompasses three early college education programs with the same goal: giving students a head start on a higher education. And although the programs have been around for a while, the concept of Rural U is brand new.
"Maine needs more college graduates and by giving students in high school the opportunity to try it before they graduate from high school and to attain some credits they're saving money, they're increasing their rigor while they're in high school, and they're getting a foot in the door to the college experience," said Scott Voisine ,Dean of Community Education at UMFK.
The programs under Rural U include Early College, Dual enrollment and Fort Kent's Pleasant Street Academy. High school students can either take classes at UMFK, online, or at their own school and earn both high school credit and college credit. Rural U has 22 high school partners from across the state and this Fall over 125 high school students enrolled.
"I feel like I know what to expect now," said Fort Kent Community High School student Kendra Raymond.
Through the program, high school students can get college level general education requirements out of the way or take more career oriented classes.
"It makes college a little more familiar for them it makes it not just this big thing that's looming after graduation we start, we get their feet wet," Fort Fairfield Middle High School Director of Guidance, Jacquie Martin.
"It takes the fear out of the unknown, it's cost effective for them, and it gets them a real good understanding before they become full time college students," said Fort Kent Community High School Principal Dawn Dougan.
Any high school students that are interested in Rural U just need to talk to either their high school guidance counselor or principal to get enrolled.

Activist Post
An incident with one policeman in Toledo, Ohio escalated over the weekend and was caught on film in Washington Township, Lucas County. Already chaotic, the scene gets more heated as more angry words and swearing are interchanged; and finally, after a few minutes, other bystanders start appearing.
According to the description, the couple in question, who are flat face forward on the road with their hands behind their backs in cuffs, wound up there after asking the officer to move his car because it was blocking their driveway. He had apparently parked there while ticketing another person.
[Language Warning]
"This is not Toledo - Buddy!" and "Shut-up!" can be heard from the officer pointing a weapon at their heads. According to a witness calling for backup, it looked like he was about to taze one of them.
Previously, the recorder suggests "call a different cop." When they do reach Toledo police to "help an officer in distress," this frustrates the officer because he keeps saying it's not Toledo - the address given is in Toledo. Washington Township is in and around Toledo and has a Toledo address - if Toledo police cannot be called in this instance, who can? Apparently, more were on the way.
He puts the boy's hands behind his back and says, "Who are you?" "I'm his son." He points in his face and says, "When the police tell you not to do something - that's who you listen to! ... I told you to get out of the truck!" He mentions a couple of times, "You do not approach a police officer..." but trails off.
The woman screaming alleged that the officer had thrown them down to the ground and smashed her phone. He forces her to get up and stand behind the tailgate of the truck with her arms wrenched up behind her back. He orders her to sit on the tailgate: "Sit your ass on the tailgate! Sit! Sit up there!"
The man in the black shirt, now under arrest asks for phone help, mentioning two young children still in the truck. The officer yells at the male witness and tosses his phone down. "Go! Get out! Go! I don't need you people - Go!" When a bystander asked, "What's you sayin' is you don't need witnesses?" The officer(?) responded, "It's all on camera anyway, it don't matter."
Mission statement of Washington Township police:
The Washington Township Police Department, in partnership with our community, is dedicated to preserving the peace and quality of life in Washington Township.The couple recording didn't seem too affected, however, and placed the video in YouTube's comedy category. If this were you and your family - how would you best handle the situation?
A call to the police station returned no response. A currently unanswered email to the station for more information is pending - updates will be provided if there is a response.

The U.S. Department of Defense is investigating the death in Germany over the weekend of a Marine from Gentry.
Lance Cpl. Benjamin W. Tuttle, 19, died Sunday (July 14) at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, following a medical evacuation from U.S.S. Nimitz during a scheduled port visit, according a Department of Defense news release.
The incident is under investigation.
Tuttle was assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 323, Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, I Marine Expeditionary Force, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif. He was serving on Operation Enduring Freedom.
According to a post on his Facebook page, Tuttle expected to return to Arkansas in October.
"Lots of love goes back home to my family, I miss all of you. I should be home in October, I can't wait to see all of you. Uncle Mike, we will have to go fishing. Little brother we will have to hang out, and granny, we will have to go out to dinner together, and as for the rest of the family, I can't wait to see all of you too. Love Ben"
Tuttle graduated from Gentry High School in 2012.
The Marine's friends in the Gentry area said they will remember Tuttle as a hero.
"I'm sure people are sad and my son even said tell me when the funeral is, said Gentry High School Assistant Principal Terrie Metze. "So it's tough."
Tuttle's friends said they were shocked when they heard the news, and they will forever miss him.
"I knew him to be a very strong guy, said former wrestling teammate Elijah Ramsey. "His family should be proud."
Those who knew Tuttle said he lived with his grandmother, and they can't even imagine what she is going through.
"I probably talked with his grandmother on a weekly basis, maybe twice a week," Metzie said. "We worked together to help Ben graduate."
Tuttle's coaches said he was a strong athlete.
"Ben was a great kid. He came to us in 10th grade," said coach Daniel Ramsey. "Played football for me and ran track for me as well."
"I wrestled with him I only wrestled for one year but he was a pretty good wrestler," said Elijah Ramsey.
"Anybody that puts a uniform on pits them-self in that situation is a hero in our hearts, and we love them for what they do," Daniel Ramsey said.

Apple has built up a large collection of Long Term Evolution (LTE) patents, possibly in preparation for future legal disputes with Samsung.
Korean publication The Chosunilbo reported that European Telecommunications Standards Institute data showed Apple, which had no LTE patents last year, now has 318.
This puts the company in the top ten patent holders, with 4.9 percent of total patents, according to the Korean Intellectual Property Office or KIPO.
Of the 318, Apple has developed only 44 itself. The rest have been purchased from Nortel and Freescale.
KIPO said Apple is taking strategic steps to acquire intellectual property in preparation for legal disputes before launching its own LTE handsets.
Apple also has a majority stake in Rockstar Bidco, a patent enforcement company that lists Microsoft, Research in Motion, Sony and Ericsson as co-owners. Through Rockstar Bidco, Apple has acquired a further 116 LTE patents.
Samsung meanwhile is a huge LTE patent hoarder, Chosunilbo reported, with 819 or 12.7 percent of the total.
US patent holder InterDigital is second with 780 LTE patents followed by Huawei with 402.
LTE is the next-generation mobile broadband standard, currently being deployed around the world and capable of delivering very high speeds.
Samsung and Apple have locked horns in court rooms around the world over patent issues, with the Korean company losing spectacularly against the Americans last month, after a US jury awarded Apple billion dollar damages.
The latest development in the patent war between the two electronics giants has seen Korean regulators investigate a complaint by Apple that Samsung is abusing its dominant position in wireless technology, Reuters reported.

by Pearl Jam
Released: Feb 1998
Label: Epic
Even as they retreated into the dark recesses beyond the celebrity spotlight, Pearl Jam blew open their thematic ambitions and sonic scope. Yield contains some of the band's most reliable hooks, ones that ride on the same dual-guitar grind as their previous work, but it also includes some truly epic statements. "Wishlist" finds Eddie at his most tender and lyrical, while "Do the Evolution" is the roughest science lesson ever given in Rock 'n' Roll 101. But it's the spiritual aspiration of "Given to Fly" that sends the album into the stratosphere.

Nottinghamshire batsman Alex Hales: Don't pigeon-hole me as a Twenty20 player
Posted: May 19, 2014|
ALEX Hales is hoping a repeat of his World Twenty20 heroics against Sri Lanka can convince England's coaches he is ready to do damage in the longer formats of the game.
In March, the Nottinghamshire batsman led England to an astonishing victory over the Sri Lankans – who went on to be crowned champions in the tournament – with an explosive 116 not out from 64 balls.
The teams meet again on Tuesday in a one-off T20 contest at The Oval ahead of a five-game ODI series and then two Test matches in June.
Hales' destructive potential in white-ball cricket is not in doubt but the 25-year-old is eager to prove he has the skills to succeed in the longer formats as well.
"I feel as though I've got the rest of the package too," he said.
"I feel if they gave me the chance in 50 overs this summer I would be ready for it.
"I've seen a lot of Sri Lanka and I feel I would be ready for the chance if it came along."
"It is a little bit harsh to pigeon-hole me as a Twenty20 player.
"I had a shocker last year with the red ball but up until then I averaged 40 opening at Trent Bridge, which isn't a bad record at all.
"I'm keen to learn from last year and put it behind me and move on. I feel it's too early to be pigeon-holed as a Twenty20 player and I'm working hard on the other aspects of my game."
Hales has struggled to secure a regular place for his county side and was loaned out to Worcestershire to gain more time at the crease.
He has scored 76 runs across two county appearances for Notts this summer and 63 in his one game for Worcestershire.
"With the World Cup being in Australia and the pretty flat pitches there, it's pivotal I score runs for Notts.
"If I can do well for Notts and do my thing in Twenty20 we'll see where we're at."
Peter Moores' reign as head coach got off to a good start earlier this month as England beat Scotland in a 50-over game shortened to 20 overs because of bad weather.
"I've never worked with Peter Moores before so it's a new experience for me – he seems brilliant so far," Hales said.
"There's a few new faces and a change in management, and with this game being a one-off everyone is really up for it to get the public back with us."
"That's the harsh environment of international sport and the guys are absolutely buzzing for it."

Enrollment in Virginia Public Schools
July 31, 2014 – Student enrollment requirements for the 2015-2016 school year – see Superintendent's Memo 187-15.
August 12, 2014 – USED provides information regarding Educational Services for Immigrant and Those Recently Arrived to the United States (PDF).
Information necessary for pupil enrollment in public schools
In order to enroll a child in a public school system in Virginia, state law requires a parent or guardian of a child to provide certain information to the child's school division. The required information is listed below:
1. Birth Certificate (§ 22.1-3.1 of the Code of Virginia)
Except as provided in § 22.1-3.1 of the Code of Virginia, no student shall be admitted for the first time to any public school in any school division in Virginia unless the person enrolling the student shall present, upon admission, a certified copy of the student's birth record. A photocopy of the child's birth certificate will not meet this requirement. If a certified copy of the child's birth certificate cannot be obtained, the person enrolling the child must submit a sworn statement setting forth the child's age and explaining the inability to present a certified copy.
A certified copy of a birth record for a person born in Virginia may be obtained from the Virginia Department of Health, Division of Vital Records and Health Statistics. See obtaining a certified copy of a birth record for information about that process.
At the time of enrollment, the child must be five years of age or reach his/her fifth birthday on or before September 30th of the school year. (§ 22.1-254 of the Code of Virginia)
2. Street Address (§ 22.1-4.1 of the Code of Virginia)
Documentation of the street address or route number of the child's residence must be provided. If no street address or route number exists for the child's residence, a post office box number must be provided.
If a child has no regular, fixed residence but resides within the school division in a temporary shelter, institution, or place not ordinarily used as a residence, the school division may determine that a street address, route number, or post office box number, cannot be provided and may accept an alternative form of address that it considers appropriate.
3. School Entrance Health Form (§ 22.1-270 of the Code of Virginia)
Section 22.1-270 of the Code of Virginia precludes the admission of a student for the first time to any public kindergarten or elementary school in a school division unless the student furnishes, prior to admission, a report of a comprehensive physical examination from a qualified licensed physician, or a licensed nurse practitioner, or licensed physician assistant acting under the supervision of a licensed physician. The examination must be of the scope prescribed by the State Health Commissioner and must have been performed within 12 months before the date the student first enters the public school. In the alternative, students may provide records showing that they furnished such a report upon admission to another school or school division and provide the information that was contained in that report. See School Entrance Physical Exam Form (PDF) and Instructions (PDF) for additional information regarding the form that may be used for the examination.
Upon request, Virginia's health departments in all of its counties and cities must provide the physical examination for medically indigent children without charge.
The Comprehensive Physical Examination is not required of any child if it violates the family's religious beliefs and the child's parent or guardian states in writing that the child is free from any communicable or contagious disease and there is no visual evidence of sickness.
4. Immunizations (§ 22.1-271.2 of the Code of Virginia)
Documentation indicating that the child has received the required immunizations must be provided. See the Virginia Department of Health School and Day Care Minimum Immunization Requirements (PDF) for a list of the required immunizations.
Any child whose immunizations are incomplete may be admitted conditionally, if the parent or guardian provides documentation at the time of enrollment, that the child has received at least one dose of the required immunizations and has a written schedule for completing the remaining doses within 90 days. If the student requires more than two doses of hepatitis B vaccine, the conditional enrollment period shall be 180 calendar days.
No certificate of immunization shall be required for a student's school admission if (i) the student or his parent submits an affidavit to the admitting official stating that the administration of immunizing agents conflicts with the student's religious tenets or practices; or (ii) the school has written certification from a licensed physician, licensed nurse practitioner, or a local health department that one or more of the required immunizations may be detrimental to the student's health, indicating the specific nature and probable duration of the medical condition or circumstance that contraindicates immunization.
5. Social Security Number (§ 22.1-260 of the Code of Virginia)
For purposes of § 22.1-260, each student shall present a federal social security number within 90 days of his enrollment. However, a child may not be excluded from school if a social security number is not provided. The division superintendent or a person acting on his behalf may waive this requirement if he finds that an individual is not eligible to obtain a social security number in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Education or if the parent is unwilling to provide such number. School divisions may assign a student who receives a waiver another identifying number as a substitute for the social security number.
6. Expulsion Statement (§ 22.1-3.2 of the Code of Virginia)
When a student is registered, the parent must provide a sworn statement about whether the child has been expelled from attending a private school or another public school in Virginia or a school in another state for an offense involving weapons, alcohol or drugs, or for willful infliction of injury to another person. In addition, the parent must provide a sworn statement or affirmation indicating whether the student has been found guilty of or adjudicated delinquent for any offense listed in subsection G of § 16.1-260 or any substantially similar offense under the laws of any state, the District of Columbia, or the United States or its territories.
7. Homeless Students (§ 22.1-3 of the Code of Virginia)
School divisions must immediately enroll homeless students and coordinate the provision of services to homeless students with relevant local social services agencies and other agencies and programs providing services to such students, and with other school divisions. In addition, division superintendents cannot exclude from school attendance those homeless children who do not provide the requisite health or immunization information required of other students. School divisions must immediately refer the student to the school division liaison required to assist the student in obtaining necessary physical examinations or proof of completion of immunizations. See Project Hope-Virginia, call 757-221-4002 or 877-455-3412, or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information regarding the enrollment of homeless students.
8. Students in Foster Care (§ 22.1-3.4 of the Code of Virginia)
A student who has been placed in foster care by a local social services agency shall be immediately enrolled even if the placing social services agency is unable to produce the documents required for enrollment. In such cases, the person enrolling the student must provide a written statement including specifics required by the Code at the time of enrollment. See § 22.1-3.4 of the Code of Virginia and Enrollment of Students in Foster Care for additional information.
You may want to review §§ 22.1-1, 22.1-3, 22.1-5, 22.1-254, and 22.1-255 of the Code of Virginia. These sections provide additional information, including the definitions of "parents" and "person of school age," information regarding compulsory attendance and the requirements for residency within a school division.

Sunday afternoon. People stream into the gun-and-knife show that's taken over every available inch of the Wentzville Crossings Mall. Ignoring the bright-red funnel-cake cart outside the door -- craving grease and powder of a different sort -- they pay the $6 entrance fee with alacrity. Hands stamped with a green stag, they begin their private, bloodless hunts.
Women buy bolt-action hunting rifles, neat little derringers, T-shirts that read "Gun control is being able to hit your target."
Young men in camouflage, long guns strapped awkwardly over their narrow shoulders, linger in front of a video about a trigger that will convert their semiautomatic to full auto, streaming high-powered lead without a second's hesitation.
Older men in gray suits show up after church and handle flintlocks with leftover reverence, awed by the slow old mysteries of flashpan, flint and frizzen.
Behind the black-powder muzzle-loaders, a row of dealers sells American Indian clothes, jewelry, music.
And no one registers the irony.
This hall contains a slice of America too big to digest. Tie-dye, flannel and silk tie. Fathers with babies snuggled in their arms, looking for a safe handgun to protect their families. Fathers with babies snuggled in their arms, looking for ammo that bears a Nazi stamp.
Kids lusting after plasticky black Darth Vader assault rifles, called "throwaways" in the industry. Artisans stroking intricate horn and stained-ivory inlays, tracing hand-chiseled steel nobody would dream of throwing away.
Heroes buying mementos; poseurs and wannabes buying the trappings of a courage they don't own.
There is greed here, and collector's avarice; there is fear and bravado and bloodlust.
None of it is simple, and little is what it seems.
The debate over guns plays out in comic strips, flat and bold, pitting gun nuts against clueless liberals. In Missouri's current collection, the heroes and archvillains do endless battle over citizens' right to carry concealed firearms. There's a vote coming up but no real end to the series, because no meaningful consensus can come of such a debate. Both sides focus on guns as objects and waste all their ammo trying to prove these objects innocent or lethal.
Guns have to be reckoned with at a deeper level, with a million subtle variations. To somebody who teaches self-defense, a gun gives an innocent person a chance against evil. To a hunter, a gun is a way to harvest wildness, re-enter a simpler time. To a kid in the country, a gun's an initiation into adulthood. To a kid in the 'hood, a gun spells danger and the chance to survive it.
Firearms draw their real power not from bullet speed or "knockdown" force but from the human mind. They become talismans of nobility. Or virility. Or evil. Pieces of an American dream that, in the green countryside where old ways still hold, look like responsible self-reliance -- but, in crowded, crime-soaked urban areas, become a nightmare.
Ignoring the infinite variations of fascination and fear, gun-control arguments strip away the symbolism, polarize the issue and end in dead heat. According to the National Gun Policy Survey recently released by the University of Chicago, 41 percent of Americans think guns in the home increase safety and 43 percent think they lessen it; 44 percent think concealed carry enhances safety and 45 percent think it compromises safety.
One side is afraid to admit guns' fascinations. The other's too fascinated to admit there's cause for fear.
The stalemate continues.
And so do the stereotypes.
"The mainstream press pictures people at gun shows as right-wing nuts and KKK," says Vic Meyer, a licensed dealer who's lining up military firearms, neat as a regiment, on a table near the door. He wears a red-gold ponytail he grew in the '70s and cherishes a checkered array of fiercely liberal and conservative opinions.
"The bubbas and white-power types are here," he says, "but so is everybody else."
Once a Klansman asked Meyer to order a case of AK-47s. He told the guy to take a hike. The next time he looked up, two interracial couples were walking toward a lesbian couple selling Communist surplus.
Can't stereotype, he reminded himself. Hate-spouting extremists loom large in the popular imagination, but they're only a sliver of reality.
And the criminals who cause the most real damage -- the gangbangers and drug dealers who make the fear of guns real -- don't show up here at all.
Straw purchasers come instead, parlaying their own lack of felony convictions into an explosive inventory they'll sell on the street. There's always at least one degree of separation between them and the felons they arm.
And one more degree to the neighborhood kids so terrified by the results that they buy guns just to stay alive.
People who frequent gun shows don't address that reality. Instead, they take pains to distance their mainly legal uses from the illegal ones. Wince at idiots so scared of blued steel that they never learn the facts. Rage at gun-control advocates who refuse to distinguish the American dream -- heroic self-reliance in an untamed land -- from the chaos of a city kid's nightmares.

When Are the 2013 MTV Movie Awards?
The 2013 MTV Movie Awards are shaping up to be pitch perfect — for the obvious reason that Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson has been tapped to host the show. We have a feeling she will be to MTV what Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were to the 2013 Golden Globes: pure brilliance.
Fortunately, it won't be long before the Australian comedienne brings her special brand of hilarity to the star-studded stage: This year's awards will air live on MTV on Sunday, April 14 at 9/8c.
Ted and Django Unchained lead the pack of nominees in categories like Best Shirtless Performance, Best Fight, Best Kiss, and Best WTF Moment. Nowhere to be seen in the Best Kiss category, however, are Twilight co-stars — and four-time Best Kiss winners — Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, whose liplocks in this year's widely panned Breaking Dawn - Part 2 have been snubbed.
In a completely expected non-twist, awards season darling Jennifer Lawrence is up for five Golden Popcorns, including Best Female Performance for Silver Linings Playbook. The one surprise is that she's also in the running for Best Scared-as-S**t Performance for House at the End of the Street, that 2012 horrorfest we totally forgot she was in.
Naturally, we hope J.Law and Rebel become best friends by the end of the night so that they team up for Pitch Perfect 2.
In the meantime, to distract yourself from that beautiful daydream, watch Rebel and Channing Tatum's amazing promo below:

How The Secret Service Turned Into The Stasi
Whose streets? Our streets?
Whose police? The Secret Service's police.
As you see the feeds and images from the local "law" enforcement attacks and raids upon peaceful citizens, legal observers, medics, videographers, and even Food Not Bombs! ... as you read of illegal seizures of phones and computers ... you're likely asking "where have I seen this before?" The answer: at the 2000 and 2004 nominating conventions.
As with this convention, the Secret Service (once part of Treasury, now part of
Except the "snatch squads", chemical weapon attacks, midnight raids, farcical "search warrants", detention of videographers, and "pre-emptive" attacks on peaceful meetings aren't secret anymore: they're "in your face". By design -- just as in the authoritarian states whose leaders the Pentagon nurtured in the School of the
In authoritarian states, official violence -- and fear of violence -- serves to quell dissent.
Sure seems to be working on the MSM and the major party politicians.
The systematic violence and illegal arrests/detentions aren't a bug: they're a recurrent feature. The Secret Service collaborates with Federal and local "law" enforcement to deny us peaceful public assembly and non-violent civil disobedience. As we can see in the Twin Cities, the SS can always find local goons who go to work with guns on their belts to help out.
Minneapolis City Councilmember Cam Gordon expressed his concerns in January, 2007
As we've been learning since Friday, Cam Gordon was prescient.
Depsite the best efforts of Green Party Councilmember Gordon, the majority of the Council handed over the Minneapolis PD to the Secret Service's Convention "Security" Plan.
The Secret Service's Convention Security Plan is subject to approval by the COA. What's a COA? The city services agreement helps out with the defintion: just so we know who tells the Secret Service what to do.
The Republican Party Convention's shock troops: that's the COA.
Like all successful parasites, both corporatist parties occupy their local hosts long enough to reproduce for the next round. For the privilege of "hosting" the nominating
Just as in Minneapolis, St. Paul's leaders surrendered their sovereignty to the Secret Service.
Yep. The same partisan Secret Service that even gave conflicting testimony before a Federal Judge Magistrate...
...in the false arrest suit filed by a citizen arrested for politely complaining to Cheney under false charges of physically assaulting Darth.
For the Rethugs and other corporatist royalty, mere criticism seems to feel like a physical assault.
In true paranoid fashion, the Rethugs and corporatists violently attack when they merely fear criticism. Unlike most paranoids, the GOP and the corporatists they serve have an entire nation's goverment to fight off the speech that so terrifies them.
On behalf of the corporatist tyrants ruling America -- for whom speech is a threat --
Just like the collaborating "Good Germans" I was raised to despise for their complicity with fascism, the St. Paul and Minneapolis Police are merely following orders. Right?
America, what a country: at least for the corporatists who rule the Twin Cities this week.[photo credit: Lindsay Beyerstein]

Stereograph - Differential Magnet House, Melbourne Observatory, circa 1870 Reg. No: MM 068165
- Summary:
- The Differential Magnet House was erected at Melbourne Observatory in 1867 and demolished in 1877.
A set of magnetic instruments recorded the hourly changes in the intensity, inclination or dip in the earth's magnetic field. Hourly measurements were susceptible to the effects of changes in temperature, so the instruments were placed ina building with thick walls. Governmetn Astronomer Robert Ellery reported in his 1869 Annual Report that a new magnet house had been built, consisting of an octagonal room of 20 feet diameter, a photographic room, double walls and shingle roof to keep the temperature even. The Differential Magnet House was replaced by a new Magnet House in 1877, in order to bring together all self-registering apparatus under the one roof.

EC1 Clear over Genera Resonant on toms?
On the toms of my Mapex QR (basswood) I've tried various combinations of:
Batter -
Evans G1's, G2's Coated,
Remo Ebony Ambassadors, Coated Ambassadors, Powerstroke 3 Clear and Powerstroke 3 Coated,
and the original UX heads.
Resonant -
Evans Resonant Glass,
Remo Ebony Ambassadors, Clear Ambassadors,
and the original UX heads.
(tom sizes: 12x9, 13x10, 16x16, 18x16)
I go through phases but currently I'm loving how my drums sound and feel with the Powerstroke 3 Clears over Resonant Glass.
Now, I'd like a longer sustain, and I don't want to go deeper or darker sounding as far as the main stick strike sound goes, if you know what I mean. A bit brighter or louder is okay.
I don't want the toms wide open but I don't want them too dark. I'm lovin' the nice round controlled "boooom" I'm getting, free of the higher overtones (which I like, just not in this case).
Yes G2's are definitely awesome. But I want to stay with 1-ply. I use no muffling on all drums. After all these years I'm finally pretty good at tuning (thanks a lot to this site). My music is mostly older rock. I mostly use 7a's.
So my 1st question is, if I went all Evans, would EC1 Clear (a tad brighter than Powerstroke 3's yet still controlled, I think) over Genera Resonant (a tad more sustain than Resonant Glass, I think) be the ticket?
2nd question, my snare is a Mapex 14x8 (basswood). How does a G2 Coated over a Glass 500 grab ya? When it comes to the snare drum I don't like dots and I don't like the "ring control" rings (such as Powerstroke 3). I tune the resonant head med-low and resonant almost like I do on the toms.
Thank you very much...
Re: EC1 Clear over Genera Resonant on toms?
Im just put on a set of EC1's. I did have Remo Emps on the toms.
The EC1's have a more controlled sound to them but I lost some of the TONE of the toms.
It's a more "rounder" sound and they do just as advertised. They controll overtones, almost to much for my taste.
I have a set of Pearl Vision birch 10-12-14 toms. They are not the highest quality toms but they are not cheapo's either.
It sounds like you are looking for a middle of the road sound. (not to much ring but not to much damping)
I think the ec1 or the ec2 would be a good choice for you.
Re: EC1 Clear over Genera Resonant on toms?
If you're looking for a controlled sound on the snare, then I think a thinner snare side head works best. As we've been talking about in other threads, i.e. the G plus heads, a thicker head means more sustain. Sustain is not particularly what most of us look for in a snare, so I think if you're looking for is a controlled dry crack with a some fatness and some depth, then a 2-play head and a 200 weight snare side head is what you're looking for.
Re: EC1 Clear over Genera Resonant on toms?
Okay, thanks a LOT for the insight, guys. I appreciate it.

Reporting from Pratt City, Birmingham and — Alabama pastor Tommie Lewis took one good look at his congregants and asked, "Why?"
Four days after tornadoes ravaged their town and their state, they came ready to listen, and he came ready to preach.
"Why is it that the deaths are now beyond 200 and approaching 300? Why do good people who live in their homes 50 years, never bothering nobody, have to get swept away? Why do folks who paid their car notes every month now have no cars? Why?"
Across the South, this day of worship couldn't have come soon enough. Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians and others dusted themselves off, reached for their finest clothing — some donated, some borrowed — and flocked to God to refuel their faith and gather hope on a Sunday that Alabama's governor had declared a Day of Prayer.

I'll never know the reason that you left me for

I can't seem to find a reason for
anything anymore
You said that you loved me
and I kinda believed it
But now I'm looking back and thinking
How Stupid
August 15th 2008
that was the last time that I saw your face
We were still friends back then
But not anymore
All because you decided to
slam the door
I tried to call but I could only get
a busy signal
I wanted to apologize for
the mistakes that I made
But I'll never get the chance
Your gone, It's too late.

Hoysaleshvara Temple, Halebid
Hoysaleshvara is a 12th century Hoysala temple in Halebid, the old Hoysala capital. The temple is laid out on a double plan, almost as if two temples were joined side to side (plan). Both shrines open to the east, and rest on the usual Hoysala star-shaped bases. There are no gopuras or towers.
The temples enshrine Shiva lingas, and many of the sculptures are Shaiva, although Vishnu images and themes are also present. The Nandi shown on this page is located in one of the two pavilions facing the shrines.
