Wenn der Aufbau eines Schutzpolizei-Sonderwagens des Typs Daimler DZVB 21 (Schupo) erzählen könnte, kämen sicherlich interessante Geschichten zutage. Das letzte bundesdeutsche Exemplar kam auf einem Tieflader von einem Schrottplatz in Hannover-Hainholz nach Munster und wird in der Lehrsammlung des Panzermuseums gezeigt.
Der Aufbau diente im Weltkrieg bei den Bombenangriffen auf Hannover unter anderem russischen Zwangsarbeitern und teilweise auch ihrem deutschen Chef als Bunker. Das Unikat stelle für das Panzermuseum eine wissenschaftliche und zeitgeschichtliche Bereicherung dar und erinnere als einziges Stück an die politischen Verhältnisse der Weimarer Republik.
Der Daimler DZVR 21 war mit einem Daimler-4-Zylinder-M-1574-0ttomotor von 100 PS ausgestattet und hatte - wie alle anderen Sonderwagen-Räder der Große 1220 x 160, die hinten doppelt vollgummibereift waren. Die Aufbauten stimmten bei allen drei Typen im wesentlichen völlig überein.
Die Ausrüstung und Bewaffnung war völlig auf den Kampfeinsatz gegen schwer bewaffnete Aufständische ausgelegt. Als Bewaffnung dienten zwei Maschinengewehre 08 (MG), die in zwei diagonal angeordneten, auf Kugellager laufenden Drehtürmen untergebracht waren. Aus Schießscharten und weiteren Öffnungen konnte ebenfalls mit MG und Maschinenpistolen sowie mit Karabiner und Pistole geschossen werden. Der Kommandant führte das Fahrzeug aus einem eigenen Turm, der mit Sprachröhrenleitungen zu den beiden anderen Türmen verbunden war.
Das Panzermaterial bestand aus hochwertigem Chromnickelstahl. Die senkrechte Panzerung der Schupo-Sonderwagen hatte eine Stärke von 12 Millimetern; die unterhalb des Rahmens angebrachten, ebenfalls senkrechten Bleche maßen 7 Millimeter.
Durch die schwierige wirtschaftliche Lage zu dieser Zeit zog sich der Bau der Sonderwagen so in die Länge, dass die Mehrzahl erst 1924, der Rest 1925 fertiggestellt und den Schutzpolizei-Verwaltungen der Länder übergeben werden konnte. 1928 standen 72 im Dienst der preußischen Schutzpolizei. 38 weitere bei Polizeieinheiten anderer deutscher Länder. Verwendung fanden die Sonderwagen in der Weimarer Republik und spater in der Reichswehr, die 45 Stück mit abgeändertem Aufbau benutzte.
Einsätze:
Die bekanntesten Einsätze des “Daimler DZVB 21 Schupo” waren der Ruhraufstand als Folge des Kapp-Putsch im April 1920, der mitteldeutsche Aufstand im März/April 1921 und der Hamburger Aufstand im Oktober 1923, die zum Teil von der KPD als sog. Arbeiterrevolten gegen die “Weimarer Republik” initiiert waren. Ab 1929 bis zur Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten waren die kasernierten Polizisten nahezu ununterbrochen zum Schutz oder der Auflösung von Demonstrationen und der Sicherung politischer Veranstaltungen im Einsatz. Im Ruhrgebiet aber auch an anderen Orten wurde z.B. auf demonstrierende Arbeiter geschossen.

ok, so clearly cotton fields aren't exactly my backyard.. but.. driving home from a beach house, at a beach i have never been to.. i realized, it actually is my backyard. you see, barbados is small. like really small. 21miles by 14miles to be exact. you can drive around it in 2 hours. i saw this spot I've never seen before, and it was beautiful. cotton blowing in the wind, the girls thinking if they pick it, they will start to make clothes. hey, why not? i complain a lot about being here.. but if i just open my patio door, literally, i have all of this in my little 21 x 14 mile backyard, and so much more.

As you all should know,
well at least all of you Americans should know,
Today President Obama made history as the first black president of the United States of America.
Also, today marked the end of an error commonly known as George W. Bush.
Many of you may not agree, but that is my opinion on the matter and i have the right to it so no telling me off for it,
please.
Alright well onto the picture,
some of you might know the work of Clarke Tolton,
an amazing fashion photographer who does shoots for Urban Outfitters a lot.
Well in lieu of me recently putting him on my myspace profile i was led to attempt a picture somewhat like what he does.
I like the outcome.

My daughter Allison turns 21 today.
When she was born, Penny and I had not yet picked out a name for her. She went nameless for the better part of her first day as I recall. Eventually, due to pressure to get the birth certificate taken care of, a name I had suggested — Allison Kathleen — was what stuck. I had loved the name Allison since I'd seen an episode or two of the daytime soap opera Peyton Place as a kid. (One of the main characters was Allison MacKenzie, as played by Carol Lynley). Kathleen was the name of a girl I went to high school with. Yes... someone I had a bit of a crush on at one time, but that wasn't the reason. I liked that she used her full name (vs. Kathy) and for some reason that stuck with me. When I called my parents about her having been born, my dad almost immediately suggested that "Ally Kat" as a nickname. That never came to be.
Allison and I are close in ways that fathers and daughters are close and we are distant in ways that seem to be a trait of the Power family. She has always been my little girl and I think she knows that. My biggest fear, of course, is that — despite that I love her and Zachary more than they'll ever know — I love them more than they'll ever know.
We can't ever really know how our relationships with our children are altered by divorces. We can't really know how much our children's personalities change due to their response to the trauma or how much is due to the typical friction that develops between parents and children.
Allison and I have had our run-ins over the last thirteen years, mostly due, I think, to her not feeling loved enough — something she has never said aloud, but something I've always sensed.
Shortly after I was divorced thirteen years ago, my older brother divorced his wife of twenty-five years and my younger brother's marriage was in deep doo-doo. My oldest brother was in his second marriage (his issues could fill several volumes!). My mother remarked to me at the time about how she felt to blame for it all... that she didn't show enough love towards us as kids. I pooh-poohed the notion telling her that she did the best she could, that our problems weren't her fault.
I, on the other hand, feel I haven't done the best I could. I allowed my own hurt feelings get in the way of raising my children; I didn't rise to the task when they most needed me to. I suppose that until my kids tell me otherwise, I'll always believe that.
Still, we plod on. I try a little harder each day to find that balance between what she expects of me and what I expect of me and hope that somehow there is intersection or — better yet — some kind of merging.
I wrote the following song a couple of days before Allison turned 8... less than a month after I'd moved out of the house. I couldn't believe that I wasn't living in the same house as my children; I couldn't believe that I was going to be visiting her on her birthday.
I have a recording of it around here somewhere... I haven't been able to find the CD it's on.
IN THE MORNING (ALLISON)
Three in the morning
Your brother's in bed, he lies sleeping
Your mother and I are in a hurry
Grandma is coming,
She'll stay with Zach while we're at the hospital
He's in good hands, we've no need to worry
Six in the morning
Your mother and I have been up since three
The doctor lies sleeping on a gurney
We called him and woke him
He arrived about an hour ago
His hand grips his second cup of coffee
We've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting
Your mother is tired and practically numb
I've been walking the floor, anticipating
Sooner or later, we know you'll come
Seven in the morning
You've finally arrived, our newborn baby girl
Your hair is thick and dark, as was your brother's
Your mother is exhausted
The thrill you've put her through just can't be told
And now, it's my job to go tell the others
They've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting
Getting impatient for that telephone call
Counting the days, anticipating
They're just dying to meet you, that's all
Three in the morning
I've stayed up late to write this song for you
In a couple of days, your birthday will be upon us
I'll be there with you
Just as I have every year before this
And I'll be there for all the rest — I promise
