&lt;h3&gt;Torture chamber found in mosque&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now don't go getting all excited. Doesn't your local church have a torture chamber? What's that? It doesn't? Well, okay, but there must be at least a room in the basement where they rough up heretics? No? But...but...well, at very least Father McGillicuddy has a pair of thumbscrews -- doesn't he? He doesn't? Well, then, uh, remember the Inquisition! And the Crusades!
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Chain wrapped around 'old man's body' found in mosque,&amp;quot; by Arwa Damon for &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/08/19/iraq.mosque/index.html?eref=rss_topstories" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#993333"&gt;CNN&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, August 19 (thanks to all who sent this in):
&lt;blockquote&gt;BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- &amp;quot;There are the bloodstains on the wall, and here it is dried on the floor,&amp;quot; says Abu Muhanad as he walks through a torture chamber in a Baghdad mosque where more than two dozen bodies have been found. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;And here, a woman's shoes. She was a victim of the militia. We found her corpse in the grave.&amp;quot;
&lt;p&gt;Chunks of hair waft lazily across the floor in the hot Baghdad breeze.
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;This was the torture room,&amp;quot; says Muhanad, the leader of a U.S.-backed armed group that now controls the mosque.
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;This is what they used for hanging,&amp;quot; he says, pointing to a cord dangling from the ceiling. &amp;quot;Here is a chain we found tied to an old man's body.&amp;quot;
&lt;p&gt;The horrific scene at this southwestern Baghdad mosque is what officials say was the work of a Shia militia known as the Mehdi Army. Residents who live near the mosque say they could hear the victims' screams.
&lt;p&gt;The militia had been in control of the mosque, called Adib al-Jumaili, for at least a year and a half....

It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite , LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.' &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said. 'They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back.' &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please keep this going so everyone can see what we are made of in this country!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-7645950139333453892&amp;page=RSS%3a+USS+NEW+YORK+LPD+21++%22NEVER+FORGET%22&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=bigguyralph.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=bigguyralph"&gt;</description><comments>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7419.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7419.entry</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 Aug 2008 01:25:27 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7419/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7419.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-08-14T02:24:07Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>MEANING OF FLAG DRAPED COFFIN</title><link>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7414.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;

Mae, a little old &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;blue hair&amp;quot; about 80 years old, came along with them---all in all, a &lt;br&gt;pleasant bunch. When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, &lt;br&gt;sandwiches, and soups, except for Mae who said, &amp;quot;Ice Cream, please. Two &lt;br&gt;scoops, chocolate.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;Along with heated apple pie,&amp;quot; Mae added, completely unabashed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the &lt;br&gt;time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;But when our orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy mine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I couldn't take my eyes off Mae as her pie a-la-mode went down.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;The other ladies showed dismay. They ate their lunches silently &lt;br&gt;and frowned.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Mae.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I lunched on white meat tuna. She ordered a parfait.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I smiled. She asked if she amused me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I answered, &amp;quot;Yes, you do, but also you confuse me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;How come you order rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible?&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;She laughed and said, with wanton mirth, &amp;quot;I'm tasting all that's &lt;br&gt;Possible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;But life's so short, my friend, I hate missing out on something &lt;br&gt;good.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;This year I realized how old I was. (She grinned) I haven't been &lt;br&gt;this old before.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;So, before I die, I've got to try those things that for years I &lt;br&gt;had ignored.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I haven't smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many books I &lt;br&gt;haven't read. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown &lt;br&gt;overhead.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;There are many malls I haven't shopped. I've not laughed at all &lt;br&gt;the jokes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;I've missed a lot of Broadway hits and potato chips and cokes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I want to sit in a country church once more and thank God for His &lt;br&gt;grace.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I want peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I want un-timed long distance calls to the folks I love the most.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I haven't cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning &lt;br&gt;rain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I need to feel wind in my hair. I want to fall in love again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner,&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;then should I die before nightfall, I'd say I died a winner,&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;because I missed out on nothing. I filled my heart's desire.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;I had that final chocolate mousse before my life expired.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;With that, I called the waitress over.. &amp;quot;I've changed my mind,&amp;quot; I &lt;br&gt;said. &amp;quot;I want what she is having, only add some more whipped cream!&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS including me if I'm lucky enough to &lt;br&gt;be counted among them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;Be mindful that happiness isn't based on possessions, power, or &lt;br&gt;prestige, but on relationships with people we love and respect. Remember &lt;br&gt;that while money talks,&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;CHOCOLATE SINGS!&lt;br style=""&gt;&lt;br style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=-7645950139333453892&amp;page=RSS%3a+CHOCOLATE+SINGS!!!&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=bigguyralph.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=bigguyralph"&gt;</description><comments>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7390.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7390.entry</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 Aug 2008 03:41:28 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7390/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7390.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-08-09T03:41:28Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>JEFF FRANKLIN  1969-2008</title><link>http://bigguyralph.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!95E420DBB6AE57BC!7385.entry</link><description>&lt;h1 style="margin:auto 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana"&gt;Miner's electrocution death under investigation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana"&gt;CARLSBAD — Federal and state mine safety officials and the Eddy County Sheriff's Department are investigating the death of an Intrepid Potash employee who was electrocuted Wednesday while working his evening shift.&lt;br&gt;Eddy County Sheriff's Deputy Lt. Jeff Zuniga said the body of Jeffery Franklin, 38, was found about 8 p.m. on the surface at the company's east mine located 32 miles east of Carlsbad.&lt;br&gt;Company officials said Franklin was a surface shift supervisor and had worked for the company for 15 years. He was performing a routine inspection when the accident occurred.&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Jeff was a valued employee,&amp;quot; said Len Kaskiw, Intrepid general manager. &amp;quot;Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;Steve McCutcheon, Intrepid's manager of administration, said Franklin was well-liked by his co-workers and he will be greatly missed&lt;br&gt;Kaskiw said the New Mexico State Mine and the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration inspectors arrived Thursday to conduct an investigation.&lt;br&gt;Zuniga &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana"&gt;said the preliminary investigation showed that Franklin was working above ground around a conduit that had some electrical heating tape on it that may have come lose.&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;It is suspected there was a break in the tape and he may have inadvertently touched the exposed wire and was electrocuted,&amp;quot; Zuniga said. &amp;quot;All we know at this point is they were trying contact him on the radio. When he didn't respond, they sent someone to locate him,&amp;quot; he said. Zuniga said Franklin's body has been sent to Albuquerque for autopsy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:black;font-family:Verdana"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

Visitation will be 1-8 p.m. today (Sunday, Aug. 10) and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday at West Funeral Home. Jeffery passed away Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2008 at Carlsbad Medical Center. &lt;br&gt;West Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. &lt;br&gt;Jeffery Randall Franklin was born Sept. 20, 1969 in McNary, Ariz. to J. W. and Anita Kay (Willis) Franklin. Jeff spent his early years in Arizona and moved to Carlsbad from Douglas, Ariz. in the late 1980s. He began his affiliation and employment with the potash industry in early 1991, and had 17 very prosperous years. What began with small tasks, culminated as one of Intrepid Potash's cherished production supervisors. Jeff always enjoyed doing things that presented him with a challenge. Whether it be riding Bulls in rodeos as a younger man, manipulating his 4-wheeler over and around various obstacles, hunting, fishing or just gardening, Jeff seemed to be in his appointed element, especially when it involved his sons. Jeff was a member of the National Rifle Association and various Hunting Clubs. He was Baptist by faith, and attended the Loving Baptist Church. &lt;br&gt;Jeffery is survived by his wife Anna of the family home; sons Ty Bailey Franklin and Bradyn Cody Franklin of the family home; parents J. W. and Anita Franklin of Hereford, Ariz.; grandparents Rex and Glenace Collier of Arizona; brothers Jon Franklin and wife Susan of Carlsbad, Jay Wayne Franklin and wife Marie and Jared Franklin and wife Leslie of Hereford, Ariz.; and numerous nieces and nephews. &lt;br&gt;Active pallbearers will be Nat Huerta, Armondo Reyes, Jaime Elizondo, John Westfall, Ryan Nesbit and Carlos Salinas. &lt;br&gt;Honorary pallbearers are J. W. Franklin, Jon Franklin, Jay Wayne Franklin, Jared Franklin and Ray Willis. &lt;br&gt;In lieu of flowers an account will be set up for Jeffery's sons at Eddy Federal Credit Union, 909 W. Pierce St. Carlsbad, NM 88220.&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://mi-cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/CurrentArgus/logos/fa44a5ab-22af-49f3-89e1-81e64e4cb26a.jpg"&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
