Leader of Iraqi resistance faction the Mahdi (sometimes spelt Mehdi) army - named after a Shi'ite leader Ali Mehdi.
al-Sadr is a low-ranking Shi'ite cleric with a lot of support amongst Iraq's poor. He's been getting massive approval ratings in recent polls and is the second most popular person in Iraq, even among members of the rival Sunni religious denomination. This is probably because he is seen by many as the figurehead of resistance to the US occupation.
The US has tried to capture then to kill him, leading to clashes with his militia. He opposes US plans for the future of Iraq. Some commentators allege that he is allied to the Iranian government whereas others see him as a popular local leader.

Ironically, the US renamed Saddam City, a slum in Baghdad, as Sadr City after the occupation began - naming it after al-Sadr's father.

Get the Orkish mug.Elven city in Beleriand, featured in Tolkien's The Silmarillion. It was founded by Turgon in line with a dream to recreate Tirion and also to be hidden from Morgoth. Anyone who found their way to the city was forbidden to leave, and its location was not known to outsiders (except Ulmo who doesn't count). It was hidden in a glade called Amon Gwareth surrounded by mountains, near the start of the river Sirion, in the Ered Gorgoroth mountains.
The elves of Gondolin left the place only once, to fight at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. After their defeat, they retreated, covered by Hurin and his army, and returned to Gondolin.
Hurin and Huor found their way to Gondolin but were allowed to leave. An elf-woman related to Turgon also left, and as a result the dark-elf Eol and his son Maeglin found their way to Gondolin. Eol was slain after he killed the elf-woman because Turgon wouldn't let him leave. Maeglin stayed but was driven to distraction because he fancied Idril but they were cousins or something, and then she married Tuor son of Huor when he found his way to Gondolin, and he was a human not an elf.
Finally betrayed by Hurin who, in a state of madness after being freed from Angband, cried out at the gates, and Maeglin, who, on a secret trip out of the mountains, was captured and threatened/bribed into helping Morgoth's forces enter. The city was sacked and burned, the elves slaughtered and only a few escaped.

Turgon was slain in a battle with Gothmog the Balrog who was also slain. Tuor and Idril were among those who escaped.
Gondolin lasted longer than any other elf kingdom.
The name means "song of stone" in Sindarin Elven.

Get the Gondolin mug.footnotes:
The Winese may also express interest in Japanese culture similar to the way the Wapanese do. They claim to know how to use chopsticks and deny that sushi is horrible in taste. They also will correct your pronounciation of Chinese names and/or things, although their pronounciation changes every time.
