One year after President Bush proclaimed the end of major combat here, al-Jarjeez, 71, is still plagued by daily power outages. He routinely leaves his good car at home to avoid attracting carjackers. And he's afraid to invest in improvements to his corner store because he doesn't want ubiquitous local criminals to think he's rich enough to warrant kidnapping.
None of this is consistent with the better life he says the United States promised when it invaded. But most of all, al-Jarjeez is baffled by the behavior of the U.S. servicemen he once cheered as they swept along Karrada Street. "All of my customers criticize them. They are killing our people. They shoot randomly," he says. "In the early days, they were pretty good. We had contact (with them). Now, there's no contact. It's completely different, completely."
Seven weeks before Washington plans to transfer limited sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government, the U.S. military says it is making steady progress in a low-intensity military conflict with shadowy insurgents. But in perhaps its most important fight, the battle for Iraqi "hearts and minds," the U.S. may be losing ground.
Widely publicized photographs of U.S. guards humiliating naked Iraqi inmates at Abu Ghraib prison have dealt the American mission a new hammer blow. In the scandal's aftermath, many Iraqis — both the Shiite Muslim majority that was repressed under Saddam and the Sunnis who once ruled here — ridicule the idea that the U.S. authorities are the "good guys" who have come to establish human rights and democracy.
In the Shiite stronghold Sadr City, waiter Uday al-Muhamadawi says the United States is no better than Saddam. "These crimes have taken us back to the law of the jungle. We've lost confidence in the Americans," Muhamadawi, 30, says. "Ask every soldier how he was received at the beginning here in Sadr City. (It was) with every welcome. But now, it is over and what they have lost will never be restored." Sadr City is named for the cleric father of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who fled Sadr City for Najaf after a warrant was issued for his arrest on a charge of murder.
On the campus of Mesopotamia University, a Sunni academic is venomous. "If Saddam was a flu, the American occupation is like a cancer," says Maha al-Hadifi, 47, a political science professor. "It is the American practices in Iraq that have transformed the democracy they were trying to establish into a blood-ocracy."
Perception of hypocrisy
Under Saddam's regime, Iraqi prisoners fared far worse and it's never been hard to find people to criticize the invaders. But the United States entered Iraq proclaiming it was better than the dictator. In the first months of the occupation, most Iraqis were prepared to give the U.S.-led coalition a chance to deliver on its promises. Now, revelations of prisoner mistreatment have ratcheted up discontent. Where some Iraqis once saw incompetence, they now see hypocrisy.
The specific nature of the alleged abuse at Abu Ghraib has made the scandal's impact on Iraqi opinion especially profound. Prisoners were photographed naked and performing simulated homosexual acts. Both are deeply repugnant to Muslims. "According to our tradition, only death could save the victims from the shame they were branded with because of the photos," says Kais Sabah, 29, a Shiite waiter in Sadr City. "If death is the penalty of the victim, what should be the penalty of the guilty soldiers?"
This week, coalition officials battled to present an image of progress, issuing statements about political consultations with Iraqi leaders, bureaucratic steps toward the June 30 transfer of sovereignty, hopes for the Iraqi Olympic soccer team.
But all this was overshadowed by the tales of men like Naufel al-Dory, 39, a father of three imprisoned by the United States from Aug. 6 of last year until Feb. 17.
Al-Dory was arrested in his office at the Oil Ministry and initially interrogated at one of Saddam Hussein's palaces in the capital. Suspected of being a member of the anti-U.S. insurgency, he says he was battered with gun butts and hung from the ceiling in a way that injured his right arm. Last fall, he was moved to the Abu Ghraib prison on the outskirts of Baghdad, where the humiliation of those shown in the photographs was an open secret.
By the time he was released without explanation, al-Dory had lost nearly 100 pounds of his original 286 pound girth. As proof of his imprisonment, he displays a document headed, "Release form for detained civilians." It is signed by a Lt. Col. Craig A. Essick, identified as camp commandant, U.S. Prisoner Internment Facility Abu Ghraib. Al-Dory still walks with a bodybuilder's swagger, but his eyes go red when he speaks of his jailing's impact on his girls. "My kids can't stop thinking the Americans detained and tortured me. How are they going to behave (toward the Americans) tomorrow?" he asks.
For the United States, the mistreatment of prisoners also may have transformed places like Abu Ghraib into insurgency recruiting stations. Coalition officials told the Red Cross that 70% to 90% of theindividuals arrested in the past year were mistakenly jailed, according to a Red Cross report in February. The United States has said it now plans to remedy that by releasing several thousand of these young men, many of whom may emerge bitter toward Americans in uniform. "Based on my experiences in prison, most of the guys who were released will go to join the insurgency immediately because of the unjust treatment," al-Dory says.
Friendly voices lost in roar
U.S. officials are painfully aware of how serious a setback they have suffered. Already, an Islamic extremist group with ties to al-Qaeda earlier this week beheaded American Nick Berg, 26, claiming it was in retaliation for mistreatment at Abu Ghraib.
Beyond the risk to Americans now in Iraq, the pictures showing acts of abuse have done lasting damage to America's credibility on human rights, officials say.
"We're all disgusted by it," says Maj. Gen. Martin Dempsey, 1st Armored Division commander. "I've spent three years trying to convince Arabs in general and Muslims in particular that the U.S. and Americans were interested in their well-being, wanted to be partners, lived a life of values. We're not here to pervert Islam. We're not here to steal their oil and that we really meant what we said," he says. "And this undermines that."
Even before the prison-abuse scandal surfaced and fighting erupted in cities across Iraq, Iraqis were tired of the GIs. In a recent USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll, 58% said U.S. forces had conducted themselves "very badly" or "fairly badly."
For all its difficulties, the United States still retains support. In a second-floor office in the al-Mansour district, a group of businessmen continue to root for the Americans. Abdul al-Hilli, 46, and Akaf Alousi, 48, started a think tank last year to promote economic development. They say the current problems are the legacy of a malevolent dictatorship. "The main cause (of the problems) was Saddam. With him gone, we can solve everything," says Alousi, a pathologist. "Now we think we have hope, at least for our children."
These are the Americans' natural constituents: English-speaking, well-educated professionals who understand the meaning of democracy and free enterprise. But their voices can be lost in a swirl of impassioned anti-Americanism from Iraq's mosques and streets.
Is it too late to win the battle for "hearts and minds?" Dempsey, a West Point graduate, insists, "It is grotesquely premature to say we've failed."
Back at the Karrada Street supermarket, al-Jarjeez says "the way out" of the current morass is through improved security. If the United States can end the reign of chaos and criminals, the economy will improve. Jobs and more money will bleed adherents from the insurgency, which will boost security. It will be a virtuous circle.
That's what he told his brother in San Diego last week when he called to check on his family in Iraq. "He said, 'How are you?' " al-Jarjeez recalls. "I said, 'How are we? How do you think we are? We are in a very bad situation.' "

Motorists are still enjoying relatively low gasoline prices, but they should keep a wary eye on the price of oil. This week it has marched consistently higher, with Brent crude now topping $50 a barrel.
That's significant because the main reason gas prices are so low is the over-abundance of crude oil. For the last two years, Saudi Arabia has been trying to put U.S. shale oil producers out of business, and it has been fairly successful. The result has been a huge oversupply of oil and falling prices.
But the latest data from the Department of Energy shows the glut of oil is getting smaller and the market has responded by bidding up the price of crude oil, expecting it will go even higher once OPEC goes back to normal production.
Bull market for oil
According to Business Insider, oil is about to re-enter a bull market phase, which could be bad news for consumers. In a bull market, the smart money bets a commodity will go higher, and the inflow of cash usually guarantees that result.
One only has to look back to 2008, when the U.S. was already in a recession, but traders were convinced oil prices would keep going up – and they did, topping out well over $100 a barrel in July of that year.
The Business Insider report cites four reasons why it thinks oil prices will keep going up; a weak dollar, a strong likelihood OPEC will trim production; falling U.S. stockpiles; and hedge funds now sense a change in direction.
That last one could be huge. Once hedge funds start buying oil futures, look out. Prices could quickly escalate.
Gas prices react
Already, gasoline prices have started to react. The AAA Fuel Gauge Survey shows the national average price of self-serve regular is $2.14 a gallon, up a penny from the day before and up two cents from seven days ago.
Still, that price is six cents lower than a month ago and – providing some perspective – 51 cents lower than a year ago. So even a sharp move higher in oil prices shouldn't drive gasoline prices to a level where drivers feel pain.
In 2008, the national average price at the pump topped out at more than $4 gallon. That's not likely to happen again for one simple reason. The U.S. oil industry, which has basically gone into hibernation the last two years, can quickly spring to life should oil prices reach the level where it is profitable for them to do so.
Fortunately for consumers, that price isn't much higher than the current price of oil.

Make a gathering stitch 1/4" from the bottom along the raw edges of the ribbon. Gather tight and secure stitches. Attach one leaf to the back side of pod and secure with stitches to the wire and bottom of the pod.
- Take one pod without leaves and two pods with leaves and secure them together with floral tape. Repeat twice more.
- Position pod cluster between each rose. Secure to stems with floral tape.
- Wrap the length of stems with the striped ribbon starting just below the bottom of the flowers down the length of stems and back to the top. Secure with stitches on both sides of ribbon.
- Wrap the opposite direction with the solid wire-edged ribbon to approx. 1" from bottom. Fold under 1/4" to hide raw edges; secure with stitches.
- For ribbon clusters, cut four 9" and four 7" pieces of solid ribbon. Cut eight 8" pieces of striped ribbon. For one cluster, fold a 9" solid ribbon piece in half, then fold two striped pieces in half. Place the striped ribbon pieces on either side of the 9" solid piece, slightly overlapped with the raw edges lined together. Position a 7" solid piece of ribbon on top of the striped, pin together and stitch them all together in the center.
- Position ribbon clusters evenly below the stems, sewing them to the ribbon that wraps the stems.
- Tie a bow below the loops.

Now 8 months injured and going up the walls/very down.
After physio, ultrasound, mRI scan the specialist doctor diagnosed 'thigh splints' or stress changes at the adductor insertions (more formal name)
Have a regular dull low level ache round my right groin, the discomfort moves about and varies in intensity, its vague to pinpoint.
Any time i run the pain increases very quickly - so i cant run. I Can use an exercises bike
Has anybody had a cortisone injection in their groin?? Or anywhere for that matter ? The specialist doc is considering this as conservative treatment not working.
Is a cortisone likely to help me?? Will i run again - any tips or stories or advice would be most welcome.
Many thanks
Thanks for your responses much appreciated!
I have to say six physio, that my physiotherapist who advertises himself as sports physio and has a reputation for treating known sports people round this area, has never ever had a look at my back or hip/pelvic control. I have been going to see him on and off for 8 months. Nor as he ever talked at any length as to the reasons behind why i got the injury??
He initially assumed it was a simple groin injury and used an electric light plus a metal scraper with gel to promote recovery. Didnt work and then i had an ultrasound, then saw the Professor specialist who looked at me for a few minutes , thought i had an 'adductor tear' and that i had a 'right-sided' weakness, but sent me for an MRI from which he concluded 'stress changes at the adductor insertions'. He seemed to think that such an injury wasnt as bad as it might have otherwise been diagnosed, and sent me back to physio for conservative treatment before considering other options - cortisone, surgery etc. The physio over the past 1 month has had me doing drills mostly with resistance bands. Sometimes i think this is helping, at other times not. Its difficult to tells whether the soreness i feel is soreness from working the muscles in the area of the injury, or whether it is the actual injury. And like i say it varies in intensity, sometimes i can go 3-4 hours without feeling hardly any pain or discomfort at all, at other times its very noticeable.
I should say that i ran 4 marathons between Jan and June 2011, and then on the first day i joined a local running club we were doing hill sprints - a type of running i had never done before- and woke up the next day with the symptoms that have not alleviated since.
sixphysio, i note you say that at 8 months down the road ill have much changes in the area-what is meant by this, i note that i now get some of this vague pain over the left side of my groin is it to do with overcompensation??
I would really appreciate any further observations you have and/or especially any ideas about how to proceed, as it has been the longest 8 months of my life. Really is much appreciated!!
ps - there doesnt seem to be much literature on this type of injury and treatment options - most of the literature seems to centre on how to interpret an MRI scan for this injury - would you be aware of any books, articles etc?/
Cor - that's rough and shouldn't be this tricky.
The hill sprints all that time ago were most likely the straw that broke the camels back, rather than "the single" incident.
The cause should be pretty easy to see - something like a SKS on your right will be very different comapred to your left. This lack control around your right hip will cause your thigh to roll in, increasing the shear of your adductors, which try to overcompensate to give you more control. Add more time and the left start to overwork too.
Your adaptation to change will also lead to spinal postural changes (a very stiff thoracic spine, and a more mobile lumbar spine), poor glut control, maybe overdominant hamstrings and some tib post stuff too - all of this needs a look.
Research on what to do is poor, that's why good treatment seems to be few and far between. Doing less for you is the way forward - I don't think you need any strengthening at all at the moment. Stability yes, yes, yes .Strength no.
Don't stress, I don't think you've failed at conservative treatment, you just haven't had the right stuff done yet. It's frustrating on a time front, but much better than somene sticking a needle/knife into you.
Thanks Sixphysio you have given me a lot of ideas on things to research, to try and to discuss with the physio - i think he needs to be more focused.
Have started pilates and will look to bring in a lot more stability work -truth is i dont even really know what this this but will find out!
Apologies, just 2 last questions - do you think its ok for me to continue on the exercise bike? in absence of running this is the closest i get to a stress-buster but i note my upper legs muscles have been strengthening quite a bit as a result
secondly - what do you think of the resistance band drills ive been doing would they help at all
Thanks again for your time
I had Cortisone injections in my groin (left side and centre) 6 years ago performed by a Musculoskeletal Physician. This got rid of all my pain in the groin area after having a Hernia Operation. I was fine for the 6 years and able to return to heavy weight training and live a normal life. I injured my abbuctor muscles on both sides whilst running at top speed on a thread mill. This has caused pain in both sides of my groin again. I have rested,taken medication, osteopath and that did not work. I have had a deep tissue massage by a muscalar theripst and it helped heaps. I am going to see the Musculoskeletal Physician tomorrow and may get another top up shot of cortisone.
I have read and heard alot of negative things about it but from expirence it helped me alot and therefore an reconsidering having it again. In saying this I would only recommend it as a last resort after trying other options.
Thanks for the latest responses think i'll give an update and the ask for more advice.
Basically, in hindsight, my first physio was a plank and i am hearing he may also be a bluffer. I went to a different physio in mid April and the difference between her skill knowledge and pracerice and the first idiot is actually scary. I'm going to write about that under a new thread when i have more time.
Anyway, the second physio carried out a very thorough assessment, noticed a lot of right sided weknesses particularly my glute and poor core. However, she also immediately said on taking my history that there would be alot of scar tisssue around my adductors and she got to work on 'frictioning' it off. She also taught me in vwery structured fashion a number of pilates/core strenghteneing exercises. I had 3 main areas to my groin pain, and a total of 16 session later pain remains in just one. She also graded me back to a little running.
I saw the specialist again last week. He examined me and was satisfied that the adductor issues were resolved. Hoiwever, we discussed this discomfort that remained (which to be crude, is just right under, and slightly to the right of where my right testicle sits,). I can run at half pace on grass and its only slight, but any more and this particular irritation/discomfort begins to increase. He felt this might be due to 'hip problems' and is sending me for a more advance scan where dye is injected.
Scan due in 10 weeks (NHS). We didnt talk anymore about what he meant by hip probs but on my internet research i think he he considering a labral tear. Reading the internet scares thae crap out of me if this is what he thinks it might be, as it seems that surgery is the main option. Ive read horror stories about very long recovery times, immobilisation, complications, cantwork drive etc...Could the specialist be thinking of any other hip problem?
Any oibservations/comments/experiences appreciated and i will write more on all this soon
I don't think you've failed at conservative treatment, you just haven't had the right stuff done yet.
parklife - it's good that you're getting a scan and injection dye. I had one in April and it gave more detail than the MRI I had last year (for my left hip). With just the MRI, the labrum was 'poorly defined', which suggested a tear (I think) - which was later confirmed during surgery. The latest dye scan has more specific detail about the tear and other cartilage damage in the right hip. Good luck with it all - I hope you don't need surgery, but there are lots of us on the femoroacetabular impingement thread who have had hip surgery and tear repair, if you want to ask anything (although I doubt you'd have the impingement as well - they'd probably have picked that up with the earlier scan). I'll look out for your updates.
Thanks pipes for your answer - my laptop has been broken and at a friends to get fixed only now just got it back.
I gues i have to wait for the second scan. Where you able to run any while you waited for surgery, and is running on the injury likely to cause further greif. I seem to be able to run but only at a slowish tempo.
I tried a higher tempo run last night but halfway through the discomfort moved round to the back of the hip and this morning to my back for gthe first time ever. Really dont want to do myself longterm damage (obviously).
Im just assuming the specialist thinks its a could be a labral tear. No hip probs were picked up on the first scan
Parklife, you have perfectly described my situation. I was running a lot during the summer of 2012, then felt and heard a distinct pop while playing softball, with immediate pain in my groin afterwards. I was fortunate enough to start with a good physical therapist, but after about 6 months, I still have pain, as you said, "...right under, and slightly to the right of where my right testicle sits." My PT has corrected hip position, done ultrasonic, dry needling, used balance training for stability, used bands, checked spine and associated areas, with little to no improvement. He is now suggesting a cortisone shot and an MRI. I was curious if the shot helped you, and what the enhanced MRI showed. Like I said, from reading your description of location, duration and causes of pain, it sounds like a very similar injury. Thanks!
These old threads of mine from yesteryear seem to be resurfacing of late!
Be very cautious of cortisone, it may reduce inflammation but that's not much cop if the original problem is still there. So you run etc post cortisone, pain free, thinking this is great but all the while you are actually making the underlying problem worse, then cortisone wears off and you are worse than before.
Sounds a little like a desperate health professional not sure what to do next.
You need a nailed down diagnosis before considering treatment.
I did not have cortisone in the end - those 'stress changes at adductor insertions' where more a symptom/effect rather than the underlying cause - I was eventually diagnosed with femoro-acetabular impingement with labral tear and I continued posting on a thread on this website of the same name. This diagnosis is no picnic and only surgery can alleviate it, 5 months post op and still doing rehab. Hope that's not what you've got mate - I didn't have a 'pop'.
It was really an Xray which finally diagnosed me mate, I had an arthrogram before that which indicated probable labral tear but the Xray should the bony protusion on the femur causing all the probs. I had also had MRI and Ultrasound but these hardly showed anything.
Any other questions please don't hesitate! This July it will be 2 years since I had symptoms and still no running!
Really appreciate you getting back to me. I actually found another of your threads while I was researching this. Running community to the rescue.
Labral Tear was the initial thought of both my Orthopedist and my Physical Therapist, but both ruled it out very early through a series of hip movement tests. I had my PT retest (great guy, not at all put off with my neurotic Dr. Google research). Again, negative for labral.
I saw my orthopedic guy again, and he retested for labral. Negative again. I was very tender to the touch (high groin area, near the testicles), so retested for sports hernia. Negative.
Orthopedic decided to administer a shot of local anesthetic and corticosteroid to the site of pain. His explanation, which I agreed with, was that it would definitively answer the adductor vs hip labral tear debate, while also providing pain and inflammation relief if it did turn out to be the adductor.
One minute after, groin pain was almost non-existent whereas I was very tender to the touch previously (this is starting to sound like a Penthouse Forum). This verified that it was not referred pain from the hip, but the adductor, and that the steroid had been applied to the correct location.
We'll see what happens with the injection. I've been reading more about this, and it seems that a fairly high percentage of people do not experience a recurrence.
I'll keep this updated for anyone that is curious about the shot.
I found this interesting: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19797582
Cortisone did nothing. Finally found someone who could figure out what happened. I tore my adductor longus in a horrible fashion. It "healed" but there was a ton of scar tissue and the connection to the pubic bone was not complete. The Dr. could feel this with is fingers.
I had surgery on January 8, 2014 (467 days from initial injury). The surgeon removed all the scar tissue, cut the tendon, and reattached it to the pubic bone.
I'm doing Physical Therapy right now, and it already feels better than it did.
Just and FYI if anyone stumbles upon this post.
Hi Runner,
You have expressed similair symptoms to what i have experienced over the last 18 months. I initially strained something whilst playing soccer and havent been unable to return to sport since. Soreness and pain in the very inner groin/adductor and have seen physio and osteo who have now recommended cortisone.
Pain is to the left of testicles and on inner groin. Pretty much right on where the leg meets the hip. They did massage/Strengthening/needling and recommend rest however no improvement or definite diagnosis.
What type of doctor did you see to diagnose the adductor longus tear? Is there anything i should ask or look for to pursue if i have done the same?
Would appreciate any guidance.
I found a Sports Medicine facility associated with a major University in Colorado (where I'm from). I know this is a UK forum, but I'm guessing you can find something similar.
I had an osteo physically feel the tendons on both sides with his fingers, and he could feel the abnormality. He then suggested the coarse of action I listed in a previous post.
It's not a normal procedure to have done. Normally, when an athlete tears it, they reattach it right away, not years later because of chronic pain.
Sounds like the pressure of circulation trying to force new pathways through all the scar tissue.

Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram
|UNESCO World Heritage Site
|Pancha Rathas
|(i), (ii), (iii), (vi) [1]
|1984 (8th Session)
Group of monuments at Mahabalipuram is a monument complex on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. It is located near Chennai. With approximately 40 sanctuaries, including the largest open-air rock relief in the world, Mahabalipuram gained UNESCO World Heritage site distinction in 1984.[2] These Pallava Period sites include: the Pancha Rathas of Dharmaraja Ratha, Arjuna Ratha, Bhima Ratha, Draupadi Ratha, Nakula Sahadeva Ratha, and also Ganesha Ratha; several Cave Temples of Mahabalipuram including Varaha Cave Temple, Krishna Cave Temple, Mahishasuramardini Mandapa, Panchapandava Cave Temple; structural temples including the Shore Temple and the Olakkannesvara Temple; and the Descent of the Ganges, one of the largest open-air bas-reliefs in the world.[2][3] Mahabalipuram is known for its architectural grandeur.
Mahabalipuram is known by several other names, Mallapuram, Mahamallapuram, Mavalipuram, and Mahabalipuram; the last name is the most recent and official as per census reports. It was nicknamed the "land of seven pagodas" by European sailors who landed on this coast after they saw seven pinnacles or stupas of Hindu temples.[4]
Records attest that the site was a seaport during the time of Periplus (1st century AD) and Ptolemy (AD 140). It was established as a town in the 7th century by the Pallava kings who ruled south of Madras (now known as Chennai). It became a famous harbour town used for trading with many kingdoms of Southeast Asian countries like Kambuja (present-day Cambodia) and Shrivijaya (present-day islands of Malaysia, Sumatra and Java), and also with the Champa Empire (known as Annam). In subsequent periods it became famous more for its rock-cut temples and caves and also structural temples built between 630 and 728 AD.[2][5]
Mahabalipuram is named after the King Mamalla (meaning the great warrior) also known as Narasimhavarman I (c. 630 – 670), who ruled during the 7th century at the head of the Pallava Dynasty.[6] However, Mahendravarman I (AD 600-30), father of Mamalla I, is also given credit to some of the architectural edifices here during his reign. During the 7th century the temple-building activity marked the beginning of rock-cut architecture in South India as part of Dravidian architectural monuments. Some of the monuments built during this period are: Rock-cut rathas (Five Rathas) or chariots, the open air bas-reliefs known as the Descent of the Ganges, the rock-cut decorated caves like the Govardhanadhari, Mahishasuramardini, and the Jala-Sayana Perumal Temple, all attributed to Mamalla.[5]
In the 8th century, as building of the rock-cut monolithic temples became less important, structural temples became popular during the reign of another Pallava king, Rajasimha[disambiguation needed] (AD 700-28). His contribution to the structural architecture was monumental, as he built one of the grandest temples known at the time, the Shore Temple. This temple complex comprises three temples: the Rajasimhesvara, a west-facing structure which has a small tritala vimana; the Kshatriyasimhesvara, an east-facing structure which has the largest vimana; and Nripatisimha Pallava Vishnugriha, another east-facing structure which is a flat-roofed mandapa in oblong shape, and which enshrines the reclining Vishnu. The two prakara walls surrounding the temples in this complex are dated to a later period.[5] The Pallava dynasty reigned from 4th to 9th century until it was defeated by the Chola dynasty in 897 AD. Mahabalipuram's historical importance diminished after that. For some time it was known only as a port, but eventually was deserted.
Archaeologists of antiquarian art rediscovered the monuments in the 19th century. In the 20th century it became a major tourist attraction and was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984, under four categories under criteria of i, ii, iii and iv.[2][3] Immediately before the tsunami of 2004 struck the Indian Ocean, including the Bay of Bengal, the ocean water off Mahabalipuram's coast pulled back approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft). Tourists and residents who witnessed this event from the beach recalled seeing a long, straight row of large rocks emerge from the water. As the tsunami rushed to shore, these stones were covered again by water. However, centuries worth of sediment that had covered them was gone. The tsunami also made some immediate, lasting changes to the coastline, which left a few previously covered statues and small structures uncovered on the shore.[7]
The unique monuments in Mahabalipuram present a fusion of religion, culture, and legends, all related to the Hindu religious pantheon.[8] All these monuments located on the shores of the Bay of Bengal are in the exclusive Dravidian style of architecture, imbibing the art and culture of Tamil Nadu. The monuments are: Mandapas, also called Cave Temples; Rathas, or chariots; the open air bas-relief depicting Arjuna's penance to Lord Shiva to obtain the Pashupata weapon; and structural temples.[9] The architecture of the rock-cut temples, particularly the rathas, became models for south Indian temple architectural style in subsequent periods.[10] The architectural features, particularly of the sculptures, were widely adopted in South India and also in the building of temples in Cambodia, Annam and Java.[2] Descendants of the sculptors of these shrines are active and involved artisans in Mahabalipuram's contemporary town culture.[8]
Notable landmarks[edit]
Ratha temples[edit]
Ratha Temples are temples carved in the shape of chariots. These are five monolithic structures carved in diorite or granite rocks which project above the sandy beach and appear like chariots on a tableau or procession.[2] The five Rathas, also known as the Pandava Rathas (Pandavas were five brothers and their common wife Draupadi of the epic Mahabharata) dated to the 7th century reign of the Pallava Dynasty are the Dharmaraja Ratha, the Bhima Ratha, the Arjuna Ratha, the Nakula and Sahadeva Ratha, and the Draupadi Ratha. They are carved from a single rock but with different layouts. They were not fully completed and hence no worship is offered in any of these temples.[5][10] Apart from these five rathas there is also another ratha which was built in the late 7th century known as the Ganesha Ratha. The dating of this ratha is based on an inscription of the name of Parameshvaravarman I, who was the grandson of Mahamalla.[11][12]
Mandapas or rock-cut Caves are sanctuaries or temples covered with bas-reliefs. The earliest period of use of caves as sanctuaries is traced to the Buddhist and Jain periods when these were excavated, the rocks cut and then carved using chisel and iron mallet. Of the eleven mandapas or caves seen in Mahabalipuram, the most notable are the Varaha Cave Temple, Krishna Cave Temple, Panchapandava Cave Temple, and the Mahishasuramardini Mandapa;[2][13] cut and decorated with panels in the Mamalla style during the Pallava period in the 7th century, where as the Adiranchanda caves temples are dated to the Mahendraverman period of the 8th century. Remnants seen in the caves also indicate that they were plastered and painted when built.[5] One of the most impressive bas-reliefs, carved on the walls in the caves, is that of the goddess Durga (a form of goddess Shakti), who killed Mahishasura, the buffalo-headed demon. This bas-relief panel in the Mahsisuramardhini Cave Temple is considered a masterpiece of Indian art.[14] Many of the caves of the Pallava period have remained incomplete.
Rock relief[edit]
Rock reliefs are carved on rocks or on independent boulders. The most famous rock relief or bas-relief work seen in Mahablipuram is titled the Descent of the Ganges (also known as Arjuna's Penance or Bhagiratha's Penance), the largest open-air rock relief. It is also reported as the largest bas-relief work in the world.[2][5] This bas-relief is carved on two huge boulders of 27 metres (89 ft) length and 9 metres (30 ft) height with innumerable depictions eulogizing through mythological episodes from the Hindu religious beliefs.[15] These are of the early or middle 7th century creations on granite boulders and are considered by The Hindu to be "one of the marvels of the sculptural art of India."[16]
Structural temples[edit]
The structural temples were also built by the Pallava kings but during the early 8th century during the reign of Pallava king Rajasimha (AD 700-28). It is located right on the shores of the coast of the Indian Ocean and has sustained wave action and tsunamis. The most famous and prominent of this form of temples is the Shore Temple complex which has two small and one large temple enclosed within a two tier compound wall studded with images of Nandi, the vahana (vehicle) of Shiva. The main temple is tall (rising to a height of 60 feet (18 m) over a 50 feet (15 m) square base) and is a stepped pyramidal tower arranged in five tiers. It is decorated with thousands of sculptures dedicated to the worship of Lord Siva. There is also a small temple in the original forecourt of this temple. The other two temples in the same complex are behind this large main temple, face each other and are known as the Rajasimhesvara or Nripatisimha Pallava Vishnugriha and the Kshatriyasimhesvara. The latter temple is dedicated to Shiva while the former temple has an ancient reclining image of Anantashayana Vishnu carved in the bed of the river nearby.[5][17] The temple walls on the rear side are carved with bas-relief panels depicting Siva, Parvati and their son Skanda.[16] The mandapa in front of the Rajasimheshvara is extant up to the basement. The entire temple complex is covered by a prakara (compound wall) coped with Nandis.[18] As the Shore Temple is located next to the sea, it is affected by the rough sea and salt laden winds. The efforts undertaken by ASI such as construction of groynes, wall paper pulp treatment and Casuarina tree plantations on the shore line are mitigation methods which have been implemented.[18]
After being stalled for about 40 years, the master plan to beautify Mahabalipuram was initiated in 2003. The Union Ministry of Tourism and Culture is financing this multi-crore project called the "Integrated Development of Mamallapuram". Clean-up work covered the area around the monuments, including fencing, laying lawns and pathways, building parks, as well as removing hawkers and encroachments. During the Son et lumiere (light and sound show) the monuments are lit up at night.[19] While the ASI has laid the lawns and pathways around the monuments, the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) has designed the parks on both sides of the roads leading to the Shore Temple and the Five Rathas, two important monuments. There are other ambitious plans too, such as the laying of a pathway from behind the Shore Temple to the Five Rathas, and conserving more monuments.[19]

Create Art Necklace in Sterling Silver Personalized. This is my own necklace that I wear everyday!! It really inspires me. I get so many compliments on it, I wanted to offer here on Etsy. It is a very chunky 2 tiered necklace that says "Create Art". I put 2 large rings on the top so you can put it on leather also. I carved and then handcast this piece in our studio using only the finest "recycled" sterling silver. This piece was cast as one piece, no soldering was involved. I then put it on a sterling silver 17 inch chain.
A velvet pouch is included.

You may hear terms relevant to the reporting and resolution of sexual or interpersonal misconduct complaints. The most common terms from the Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy and the Code of Student Conduct are identified here*, along with general definitions of some additional concepts. In all cases, please see the full policies for complete and additional definitions, and appropriate context.
Adjudication: The process of investigating and resolving formal complaints of sexual or interpersonal misconduct.
Complaint: Making a formal report of misconduct to the University, which will be investigated and adjudicated through the applicable policy and procedure. (Please note a student can notify the University of misconduct and seek assistance without filing a formal complaint.)
Complainant: An individual who claims to have been affected by a student, student organization, faculty/staff member, or third party's conduct and who initiates a complaint against that party through a University policy or procedure.
Consent: In the context of sexual activity, consent means by clear, unambiguous action, agreeing, giving permission or saying "yes" to sexual activity with someone else. Consent is not present if a sexual act is committed through force, threat, intimidation, or against the will of another. Furthermore, an individual cannot give consent if incapacitated from doing so due to the influence of drugs, alcohol, or other condition. (Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy; Code of Student Conduct)
Dating Violence: Violence committed by a person—
Disciplinary Hearing: Formal process in which a hearing officer considers the charges of misconduct. The complainant and respondent may attend the hearing and bring a personal representative to advise them.
Domestic Violence: An assault under any of the following circumstances:
Under Iowa law, a person commits an assault when, without justification, the person does any of the following:
Incapacitation: Under Iowa law, incapacitated means a person is disabled or deprived of ability, as follows:
Interim and Protective Measures: Those steps taken or accommodations made to promote the health, well-being, or safety on campus of one reporting sexual or interpersonal misconduct. Interim and protective measures are not sanctions, which are issued after a University adjudication process has occurred. Interim and protective measures may be provided when readily accessible, regardless if a formal University complaint is made or law enforcement is contacted.
Interpersonal Misconduct: The University defines interpersonal misconduct as including domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. (Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy; Code of Student Conduct)
Medical Amnesty: A University policy in the Code of Student Conduct that allows the University to refer a student to a substance abuse awareness program and/or evaluation rather than issue sanctions for a drug or alcohol violation when the student comes forward for a medical emergency. Exceptions to medical amnesty apply when the conduct is egregious or first discovered by a University official.
Amnesty for sexual and interpersonal misconduct incidents: the University will not pursue disciplinary action for improper use of alcohol or other drugs against a person who reports or makes a complaint in good faith concerning an incident of sexual or interpersonal misconduct, or who participates in good faith in an investigation into an incident of sexual or interpersonal misconduct.
No-Contact order: Can limit or prohibit contact and interaction between individuals. A University no-contact order is enforced under University policies and procedures and applies only to the campus jurisdiction. A criminal no-contact order covers a broader jurisdiction and is requested through the Polk County Attorney or the Des Moines Police Department.
No-Trespass Orders: Can ban an individual from campus or from certain areas of campus. A University no-trespass order is enforced under University policies and procedures and applies only to the campus jurisdiction. In certain circumstances, violations of no-trespass orders may warrant arrest by the Des Moines Police Department.
Preponderance of evidence: Refers to a standard of proof. A preponderance of the evidence exists when it is more likely than not, or the greater weight of the evidence suggests, a violation occurred. (This is not the higher standard applicable in criminal proceedings, which requires "proof beyond a reasonable doubt.")
Respondent: The student, student organization, faculty/staff member, or other individual accused of misconduct.
Retaliation: When adverse action is taken against another because they have engaged in a protected activity, including seeking guidance, filing a complaint, or participating in an investigation into sexual or interpersonal misconduct.
Sanctions: Disciplinary measures issued at the conclusion of a University investigation and adjudication process. University sanctions may be imposed upon those determined to have engaged in sexual or interpersonal misconduct under applicable university policies and procedures. For employees, sanctions could range from counseling to termination from employment. For students, possible sanctions include expulsion, suspension, probation, removal from University-owned housing, mandatory counseling, non-academic probation, revocation of privileges, restitution, fines, educational or work assignments, or University reprimand.
Sex-Based Harassment (including Sexual Harassment): Unwelcome advances, requests for sexual favors, or other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct aimed at another because of sex when:
Examples of sex-based harassment include, but are not limited to, the following unwelcome behaviors from employees or students of the University or from third parties:
Sexual Assault: Sexual assault is an extreme form of sexual misconduct ranging from forcible rape to nonphysical forms of pressure that compel individuals to engage in sexual activity against their will. In Iowa, the terms rape and sexual assault fall under the legal definition of sexual abuse, which includes any sex act done by force or against the will of another. Examples of sexual assault under this policy include, but are not limited to the following behaviors when consent is not present:
Sexual Exploitation: Taking non-consensual sexual advantage of another person, even though the behavior might not constitute one of the other sexual misconduct offenses. Examples can include, but are not limited to, the following behaviors:
Sexual Misconduct: The University defines sexual misconduct as including sexual assault, sexual exploitation and sex-based harassment (including sexual harassment). (Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy; Code of Student Conduct)
Stalking: A person commits stalking when all of the following occur:
"Course of Conduct" as used in the definition of "Stalking", means repeatedly maintaining a visual or physical proximity to a person without legitimate purpose or repeatedly conveying oral or written threats, threats implied by conduct, or a combination thereof, directed at or toward a person. (Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct Policy; Code of Student Conduct)
*In the event the definitions on this page are different from the language in current University policies, the language in the policies controls.

Old TV, New Worries
A month before
Anika Steward leaned back on the sofa and flicked on the telly. It was the news. Anika didn't care for the news much, but her TV had grown stubborn with age and wouldn't let her change.
So Anika had to watch the pretty but irritating woman gabble on about hospital money problems, the urgent building work, how it needed more medicine stock. Anya wasn't worried in the the slightest. She was a healthy woman: balanced diet, plenty of exercise etc. Anika wouldn't need to go there anytime soon.
'And now a quick warning of Ralechomenia from Adam Field.' The slightly fuzzy image of the newreader said. 'This was Katie White on SupaNews.' The person just stated smiled a glossy peach smile before the cheesy music and cheap effects of SupaNews (!) transformed her to a serious looking man.
By now the TV was so bad that only flickers were remaining on the screen. Anika could make some things out though, like 'Massive Outbreak...' and 'No cure so far...' and 'Thousands dead...' as well as 'Symptoms crackle Fatigue, Headaches and pa-crackle-fizz...' The TV gave one last cry before completely dieing.
Anika was now not so uninterested. But...scared. She never felt like this so it was quite overwhelming. Hadn't she felt a bit...well...fatigued earlier...and yesterday, her head ...Oh my gosh. NO!
Anika went to get up but her legs seemed to turn to dust. Half sitting, half lying, Anika gave an exhausted yelp before compeletely fainting.
' Fatigue, headaches and passing out.'

Board bad, paying for return shipping for defective product -BAD 02/27/2014
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-X79-UP4 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
0. Board would not post. Employed every method possible. No memory, no graphics, purchased new cpu, etc. Zip
0. Board would not post. Employed every method possible. No memory, no graphics, purchased new cpu, etc. Zip
Other Thoughts:
Having to pay for the return shipping on a defective product is ridiculous. Newegg doesn't stand behind the products that they sell. If it works, find, if it doesn't work, your problem with getting it back to us.
After spending thousands and thousands of dollars with newegg over the last several years, this will be the last experience. newegg reads all reviews before posting. I am sure this one will not be posted.
