Sylacauga is a city in Talladega County, Alabama, United States. At the 2010 census the population was 12,749.
Nicknames for Sylacauga include "The Marble City", "Buzzard's Roost", "Alabama’s Best-Kept Secret" and "Sly Town".
Sylacauga is known for its fine white marble bedrock. It was discovered shortly after settlers moved into the area and has been quarried ever since. The marble industry was the first recorded industry in the Sylacauga area.
Sylacauga is the site of the first documented case of an object from outer space hitting a person. On November 30, 1954, a 4 kg (9 lb) piece of what became known as the Hodges Meteorite crashed through the roof of an Oak Grove house, bounced off a radio, and badly bruised Mrs. Ann Hodges, who was taking an afternoon nap.
Sylacauga is on the 2010 list of "100 Best Communities for Young People" by America's Promise Alliance.
The first settlers in the Coosa River Valley were the Creek Indians whose later encounters with the Spanish and French had a significant influence on the history of Sylacauga. Events that occurred between these three groups were partly responsible for the settlement of the village of Chalakagay in 1748 by Shawnee Indians led by Peter Chartier.

White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It is a 2012 non-fiction book written by Colin Flaherty, regarding race and crime, particularly the knockout game and violent flash mobs of black people, in the United States. It is published by WND Books.
Thomas Sowell praised the book, feeling that Flaherty had done better research than Sowell had for his own Intellectuals and Society on the issue of black-on-white crime, and felt that the book and its message were being ignored or silenced.John Derbyshire at VDARE described Flaherty as "an old-style just-the-facts reporter with no ideological axe to grind" and praised his work.
Alex Pareene in Salon opined that the figures presented by Flaherty were inflated and the reporting misleading, after checking the sources cited.Cathy Young in Newsday brought up the book when discussing the knockout game, and mentioned how she felt Flaherty, while in error in a particular case, brings forth a "narrative [that] raises a painful question" about the media's failure to report incidents accurately when perpetrators are black. That failure, she cautions, undermines the media's credibility and actually risks encouraging racist paranoia.

Montgomery, Alabama - A Drive in Town Montgomery is the capital and second most populous city in Alabama, and is the county seat of Montgomery County. It is located southeast of the center of the state, in the Gulf Coastal Plain. The city was incorporated in 1819, as a merger of two towns situated along the Alabama River.

A small Alabama town has agreed to dole out $680,000 among dozens of poor people it had jailed for failure to pay court fines, settling a case that embodied a national movement to fight what reformers call the criminalization of poverty. The lawsuit, filed in September 2015 by the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleged that Alexander City ran "a modern-day debtors prison" in which indigent defendants people had to pay off fines by serving time in the municipal jail at a rate of $20 a day. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alabama-city-agrees-pay-dozens-jailed-debtors-prison-n734946?cid=public-rss_20170317 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Komplimente wirst du nicht hör'n
Auf ewig Liebe werd' ich dir auch nicht schwör'n
Die süßen Lügen stecken sonst quer
Ganz tief in meinem Hals
Am Morgen hinterher
Vom ganzen Süßholz wird mir nur schlecht
Da gibt es Besseres und das ist auch ganz nett
Bin keine Jungfrau
Nie mehr Jungfrau
Da kann man mehr als nur Blicke riskier'n
Nie mehr Jungfrau
Nur 'ne Jungfrau
Kann dabei noch was verlier'n
Liebesgeflüster will ich mir spar'n
Ich grab dich anders von allen Seiten an
Der kleine Teufel in meinem Leib
Der sieht ganz gerne zu
Wenn nicht nur Fieber steigt
Besser als Worte sind kleine Tricks
Damit dein Kleiner bald ganz groß im Kommen ist
Denk nicht so schlecht von mir, ich komm ganz nah zu dir
Bis unser Atem einer wird
Nicht wie die Katze um heißen Brei
Zeig mir was drinsteckt in deinen 5-0-1
Wenn die Lust kommt, geht der Verstand
