Anger: We're mad as . . .
This is the summer of our discontent. Across America and throughout Penn's woods people are angry. In addition to dealing with arguably the most difficult economic times since the Great Depression, sweeping change at the national level and political gridlock in Harrisburg have infuriated voters.
Just six months ago this week Congress passed and the new president signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, more commonly known as the stimulus. The massive spending bill approved $787 billion in new government expenditures with the stated goal of jump starting the national economy.
It hasn't worked. According to the Heritage Foundation, the economy has shed a net of 2.8 million jobs since enactment of the stimulus. This has caused the national unemployment rate to jump from the already high level of 7.6% to 9.4% with joblessness topping 10% in 15 states.
Fifty-seven percent of Americans told the Gallup Organization in a recent poll that they believe the stimulus has not worked. On top of that, it has dawned on many taxpayers that somebody is going to have to pay for the $747 billion stimulus along with the Toxic Asset Relief Program (TARP) which preceded it last October, and the Omnibus spending bill that passed later in the spring.
When it comes to spending the Obama Administration along with their allies in Congress appear to have overplayed their hand. Much as former President George W. Bush squandered his political capital by failing to reform the nation's social security system, Obama has blown his capital by pushing for too much spending too fast.
The administration may have seen its last significant victory when the House passed its version of the cap and trade bill ostensibly designed to combat so-called global warming. The practical impact of the bill would be to dramatically increase the amount of money most Americans will have to spend on energy and on products which require energy to manufacture, which is to say just about everything. Dubbed "cap and tax," the bill is likely to die or be substantially altered in the U.S. Senate.
The boiling point appears to have been reached with the advent of the health care reform debate. Americans fed up with profligate government spending and rapidly expanding federal control into every aspect of our lives have rebelled over the Obama Administration's plans to nationalize health care. Anger has poured forth at town hall meetings across the country, and now appears likely to derail not only health care reform, but the rest of Obama's liberal agenda.
The president's job approval ratings have dropped along with the collapse in public support for his policies. As we pass Labor Day, the 2010 Congressional campaigns will be shifting into their beginning phases making it dramatically more difficult to cobble together a majority in support of any controversial bill.
Meanwhile, along the banks of the Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania state government has ground to a halt. Nearly two months after the deadline for passing a state budget only a partial spending plan is in place. Governor Ed Rendell vetoed large parts of the balanced budget passed by the legislature because it did not include money he insists upon spending, but cannot fund.
The national recession has taken a large bite out of state revenues and legislative Republicans refuse to raise tax rates or to implement new taxes to make up the difference. Returning to their party's historical roots of fiscal conservatism, the GOP is insisting on cutting spending rather than raising taxes.
Governor Rendell has been accustomed to getting enough Republicans to abandon their principles to get his way on state spending. That is not happening this year and is not likely to happen. The GOP won't raise taxes, and Rendell won't accept lower spending. Thus we have gridlock.
The stalemate has gone on long enough a wide array of organizations dependent upon state funding are feeling the financial pinch. They are now picketing the capitol demanding a budget be passed. Rendell claims he feels their pain, but refuses to budge in lessening his spending demands.
And so We the People of Penn's woods have a double reason to be frustrated and angry this summer of 2009. The national administration is in the process of destroying America as we know it, and we don't have a complete state budget because the governor vetoed the parts that didn't spend enough of our tax dollars.
There is good reason to be mad. And if our elected representatives think it's getting a bit heated right now, wait until they face the wrath of voters next year at the polls.

Murder charge No.4 for Williams
Police are expected to charge an underworld figure with the murder of a former associate more than four years ago.
Police are set to charge alleged underworld figure Carl Williams with a fourth murder, claiming he stalked and shot drug dealer Mark Moran outside his luxury Aberfeldie home nearly five years ago.
Williams, who is already facing three murder charges, is expected to be charged with the Moran murder after Director of Public Prosecutions Paul Coghlan, QC, reviews the completed brief of evidence in the next few weeks.
The breakthrough comes after a key witness told police he drove Williams within walking distance of Moran's Combermere Street home on the night of the murder.
Although police allege Williams has been involved in several murders, the Mark Moran case would be the first time they will allege he fired the fatal shots.
In the other cases, he is said to have ordered the killings and then set himself up with alibis while the murders were committed.
Williams has been the prime suspect since the Mark Moran murder on June 15, 2000. Police first interviewed him within 24 hours of the killing.
He claimed he could not have committed the murder because he was picking up a hire car from Melbourne Airport at the time. But police say they have found a gap of nearly an hour in which Williams could have travelled to Aberfeldie for the killing.
An underworld figure who can be identified only as Mr X has told police he drove Williams to a street near Moran's home and drove him away after the shooting in Moran's driveway.
Another witness, who is not connected with the underworld, has been able to corroborate much of Mr X's statement.
A second criminal source is also alleged to have made a statement against Williams.
The police Purana taskforce began investigating the murder of Mark Moran after it was formed in May 2003 but it was only after Mr X agreed to talk to police early last year that the case against Williams began to strengthen.
Senior legal counsel from the Office of Public Prosecutions have overseen the investigation and are confident charges will be laid.
Officers say Williams' syndicate and the Morans worked together for years producing and distributing amphetamines.
The teams are said to have fallen out in 1999 over a failed amphetamines batch, drug paraphernalia and profits. In October that year, Williams was shot in the stomach in Broadmeadows. A woman told police she heard a man cry "No, Jason!" moments before a shot was fired.
Detectives believe Jason Moran and his half-brother Mark were involved in the Williams shooting. Williams has refused to tell police who shot him but detectives believe the shooting was the catalyst for Melbourne's underworld war.
Mr X is Purana's main witness against Williams and was once a close associate of his.
Last week he was sentenced in the Supreme Court to a minimum 10 years' jail for his involvement in the murder of Michael Ronald Marshall, who was shot dead outside his South Yarra home on October 25, 2003.
He has told police he is prepared to give evidence against Williams over the Marshall murder, the killings of Jason Moran and Pasquale Barbaro on June 21, 2003, and the death of Mark Moran.
In return, he has been offered immunity for his involvement in the Jason Moran-Pasquale Barbaro killings.
· A Purana prosecution brief of evidence has been stolen from the car of a defence lawyer in Carlton. Detectives said they suspect the briefcase was taken by an opportunistic thief.

Testifying with a box of tissue sitting next to her, the mother of murder victim Charla N. King wiped tears from her face as she told a judge about finding her daughter's nude, lifeless body in her Washington Terrace apartment on June 23.
Sharon King was the first witness to testify Monday during the first-degree murder trial of John Albert Taylor, 30, Ogden. The case is being heard by 2nd District Judge David Roth because Taylor waived his right to a jury trial.If convicted of the capital murder charge, Taylor could be sentenced to die. It's been 40 years since a Weber County judge or jury sent a murderer to death row.
Taylor was arrested on June 28 after fingerprints found on a telephone in the victim's apartment were matched to those of the defendant.
During opening statements, defense attorney Don Redd said that Taylor will testify on his own behalf and admit to being in the victim's apartment.
But Redd said that Taylor was inside the apartment to commit a burglary when no one was at home, and that Taylor left his fingerprints on the telephone then. Redd said that Taylor did not kill the 11-year-old girl.
Deputy Weber County Attorney William Daines told Roth that Taylor has repeatedly denied being inside the apartment and noted that two witnesses saw Taylor near the murdered girl's apartment around the time the girl was killed.
Sharon King said that she got home from work about 3:20 p.m., turned on the television set to watch a soap opera and then walked into her bedroom where she found her daughter with a nightgown wrapped around her head and a pair of panties stuffed in her mouth.
"I started screaming," King said.
She said she ran to a neighbor to get help and then called police. She was instructed to administer CPR.
Occasionally looking at Taylor, King said she tilted her daughter's head back and that's when she discovered a telephone cord wrapped around Charla's neck.
Charla King's foster grandmother, Bertha Porter, testified that she was probably the last person to see the victim alive.
She said that on June 23, she and Charla went to the mall together and talked about the birthday celebration at a local amusement park set the next day. Charla would have been 12 years old on June 24.
Porter said that she took Charla back home around 1:30 p.m. on June 23.
Washington Terrace Police Officer Marsha Gathercole testified that on June 25 she received a telephone call from a woman who said she had some evidence connected to the murder that she wanted to turn over to police.

*Rev. Dr. Brenda Arnold-Scott, Sr. Pastor of Mt. Calvary AME Church-Houston, ends a year of remarkable achievements
Congratulations are in order in recognition of some of the multiple back-to-back milestone achievements that have transpired over the past year, for the now, Rev. Dr. Brenda Arnold-Scott. Dr. Arnold-Scott is serving her 10th year in pastoral ministry, with her current appointment as pastor of Mt. Calvary AME Church, Houston, Texas, located in the Tenth Episcopal District under the leadership of Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie. In May of 2017, she retired from the City of Houston as Deputy Director of the Housing and Community Development Department, after almost 30 years of service. This 30-year journey resulted in a legacy that continues to speak. In her various roles, up to the highest executive level, she impacted the lives of more than one million low and moderate-income Houstonians; and thousands of homeless individuals, with public services, infrastructure improvements, housing, and jobs. Her work was so impressive that she was nominated for and named as winner of the 2017 Bravo Award, the highest honors given to City of Houston employees who have not only demonstrated extraordinary service in their careers, but in the larger community; and in the church community. She received recognition by the City of Houston for ministries under her leadership at Mt. Calvary AME Church in Houston, that are impacting the community. They are the, the Happy Feet Project", and the "Children's Therapeutic Outreach Project." Both projects were founded and launched three years ago under her leadership; and have served more than 1,000 families to date. Rev. Arnold-Scott believes that with God, these ministries are about the business of, "making small big," clearly evidencing the great impact that small charges can make in a community. She also received two Proclamations from the Mayor of the City of Houston, proclaiming Brenda Arnold-Scott Day—one submitted by the non-profit community, the other submitted by her colleagues and staff who were among the cloud of witnesses to her extraordinary acumen.
In, December 2017, within a few months of retirement, she completed her doctoral work (Doctor of Ministry, with a concentration in Urban Culture) at Southern Methodist University (SMU), in Dallas, TX. She defended her dissertation, "Shadow of Rights of the Disabled: Executing Social Action to Address a Political Theological Dilemma in Housing Law," with honors. Rev. Dr. Arnold-Scott is participating in the May 2018 graduation ceremony at Southern Methodist University, where she will be hooded. Her scholarship earned her an invitation into SMU's Golden Key International Honor Society, in May 2017. Rev. Dr. Arnold-Scott has no biological children but has been instrumental in helping to shape the lives of her nieces and nephews. She shares this graduation season with two nieces, both of whom she has supported in their educational endeavors. One will receive a B.S. in Digital Communications, the other a Doctor of Optometry, in May 2018.
January 2018 represented the official release of her new book entitled, "30 Days to You: Prophecy, Manifestation, & Revelation, A Journal." 30 Days to You: The Workbook, is currently underway; and is scheduled for release later in the year.
Daily, she gives thanks to God for allowing her to experience this time in her life of, "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard; nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
Congratulatory remarks can be emailed to: firstname.lastname@example.com, or sent to Rev. Dr. Arnold-Scott, a 5018 Antoine Dr., Suite 170 B, Houston, TX 77092.

Dr. Herman O. Kelly Jr. launches three Interdisciplinary Titles on African American Studies and Religion
Dr. Herman O. Kelly Jr. of the African & African American Studies Dept. at LSU has overseen the creation of three custom texts that have been purpose-built for his students for the upcoming Fall 2018 semester.
The Role of the African American Church in the Civil Rights Movement is an interdisciplinary examination of the importance of the Church in black life, exploring the agency it afforded otherwise disenfranchised persons during a period of social upheaval, culminating in the Civil Rights Act, a landmark act of Congress that finally acknowledged the status of African Americans and minorities as equal citizens under the eyes of the law. This custom title will be used in both Dr. Kelly's AAAS 2025- African American Religion and AAAS 3902- History of the Civil Rights Movement courses. "The number one objective of my Civil Rights Movement course is to trace the development and influences of the Civil Rights Movement. I am pleased to be able to highlight the indispensable role played by black Churches in applying government pressure through sustained activism, galvanizing African Americans and others to demand their equal treatment under the law, and as a catalyst for the Civil Rights movement and passage of the Civil Rights Act."
Black Rhetorical Traditions in the Civil Rights Movement, Volume 2 is a companion reader to Black Rhetorical Traditions in the Civil Rights Movement: Voices of Struggle and Strength, Dr. Kelly's nationally marketed anthology paying homage to those that dared speak out in the face of danger. This second volume will be used in his AAAS 3044- Black Rhetorical Traditions course as a condensed reader. The objective of this course is to trace the development and early influences of notable black communicators, and the new companion text will look at flashpoints such as the lynching of Emmett Till and the desegregation of the American public-school system starting in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Dr. Kelly's third new text is titled "Introduction to Religion: A Study of African American Religion" and studies the development of African American Religion and Churches from its roots in traditional African religion to the politically conscious tool of social justice that it is today. African American Religion has a particularly strong social and political bent and cannot be examined without considering its social agenda. Historically, it was a haven during the Underground Railroad, and more recently was a major factor in the Civil Rights Movement (an aspect Dr. Kelly explores at length in his first book "The Role of the African American Church in the Civil Rights Movement").
About the Author:
Dr. Herman O. Kelly Jr. earned his doctoral degree in ministry at Memphis Theological Seminary, and now serves at Louisiana State University. Dr. Kelly teaches in both the School of Education and the African and African American Studies Program, for which he is the co-chair of the finance committee. His courses include the history of the civil rights movement and Black rhetorical traditions. He has most recently published Moments of Meditation Celebrating the Bicentennial of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Times Like These, and Black Rhetorical Traditions in the Civil Rights Movement: Voices of Struggle and Strength. Dr. Kelly is a past recipient of the NAACP Man of the Year Award, and recipient of the Kumba Community Member/Organization Award, a part of the 2017-18 LSU black History month held by the LSU Cultural Center recognizing individuals that have made an impact and meaningful contribution to their local communities.

Honestly this is mostly about making sense of the fact that a "year" has come and gone! It really has been Kaaah-Razy! Hope it doesn't take me another 10 years to do this again. Enjoy and Cheers, Rodolfo

Every moment of Holy Ramadan is very precious and special, however, the last ten days (Last Ashra) of Holy Ramadan hold a special and prominent place in the heart of every Muslims and the last Ashra of Holy Ramadan are respected and celebrated in the most honourable manner. Muslim can make the most out of the last Ashra of Holy Ramadan. Holy Ramadan is the most sacred and Holiest of Months in the Islamic calendar.
It is the month in which Shaitan is chained and many uncountable blessings and mercy showers upon all those Muslims who seek it by praising and worshiping ALLAH Almighty in the days of Holy Ramadan. Therefore, the last Ashra of Holy Ramadan leave not a single room for being a lazy and sloth, rather, these are the blessed days in which a person with fasting starts praying and worshiping with greater dedication and intensity. Two most common ways through which these days can be utilized in the best possible way are discussed below.
Recitation of Holy Quran:
Muslim can earn many blessings in the last ten days of Holy Ramadan is to recite Holy Quran abundantly. The recitation of Holy Quran brings numerous blessings and rewards for reciting every single word. However, it is best for Muslim to understand Holy Quran with translation. The recitation of Holy Quran brings huge reward.
However, the recitation of Holy Quran with translation helps a person in understanding the message and essence, which the verses of Holy Quran convey to humanity. Ergo, in the last Ashra Muslims should recite more and more Holy Quran and also read the translation so that meanings of verses become more clear and evident and a person finds the real message of truth and assistance and guidance in Holy Ramadan.
Observing Aitikaf:
The greatest Sunnah of last Ashra of Holy Ramadan is the observance of Aitikaf. It is in the last ten days of Ramadan that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would go into privacy and seclusion and spend the last Ashra of Holy Ramadan in prayer and worship of ALLAH Almighty with minimal intrusion or human interaction. In Aitikaf Muslims spends all of their time in worshipping ALLAH Almighty to ensure that He grants blessings and forgiveness to the seeker.
In the last Ashra of Ramadan Muslims must observe Aitikaf, setting all the worldly matters, intrusions and routine aside for ten days and spend all the precious moments of Holy Ramadan in praising and worshipping ALLAH Almighty. No one knows whether they will be alive to see the next Holy Ramadan or not, therefore, a Muslim should try to observe Aitikaf and spent these days in the best manner to bid great farewell to this Holy Month of Ramadan.

Sammy Vasquez Steals Show Stopping Abreu in War - Iron Mike Productions "KO Kings of Tomorrow"
Sammy Vasquez Steals Show Stopping Abreu in War - Iron Mike Productions "KO Kings of Tomorrow"
By Ken Hissner, Doghouse Boxing (Feb 23, 2014)

Tweets by @DoghouseBoxing
Iron Mike Productions "KO Kings of Tomorrow", with promoters Garry Janas and former world heavyweight champion "Iron" Mike Tyson plan to come back in April but need some local fighters to increase the sparse but loud crowd. Matchmaker was Chris Middendorf.
In the main event Dominican southpaw Juan Carlos Payano, 15-0 (8), whom they call the Pacquaio of the DR, easily oupointed Mexican German Meraz, 46-30-1 (25), over 8 rounds. They had a tough act to follow after the Vasquez-Abreu bout. Scores of 79- 72 and two 80-71.
Payano dropped Meraz in the 2nd and rocked him just prior to the bell. Payano suffered a small cut under his right eye. In the 3rd Payano chased the defensive minded Meraz. More punishment in the 4th by Payano as Meraz runs and holds. It got very sloppy after this point with Payano trying hard for a knockout. Referee Gary Rosato had his hands full in this one.
Cuban Light heavyweight Umberto "El Don" Savigne, 12-1 (9), out of Miami, FL, knocked out southpaw Maxell Taylor, 18-7 (8), of Baltimore, MD, in the 2nd round at the 1:11 mark!
In the 1st round the taller Savigne knocked out the mouthpiece of Taylor after going to the body well. In the 2nd a lead right from Savigne buckled Taylor's knees making him go into a squat. Another lead right and down and out went Taylor his head banging onto the canvas. Referee Gary Rosat immediately waved it over. Taylor was up after several minutes. Former world champion John David Jackson trains Savigne. Taylor is much too heavy at 175.
Coming off his first loss in August Dominican southpaw featherweight Claudio "The Matrix" Marrero, 15-1 (11), won all 8 rounds over Mexican Jose Angel "Pepe" Beranza, 36-29-2 (28), to a chorus of boo's for a foul filled win. Beranza stood his ground and frustrated Marrero throughout. All 3 judge's had it 80-72 as did DHB.
Marrero easily took the first 3 rounds but received 2 warnings for pushing Beranza. He seemed to be frustrated Beranza was taking his best shots and hanging in there. Marrero received another warning from referee Rosato, this time for use of the elbow. He ended the round showboating after Beranza probably had his best round but not good enough to win it.
In the 5th Marrero lifted Beranza up in the air causing a warning from the referee for that and one before it for pushing amounting to 5 warnings through 5 rounds. In the 6th Beranza ended with a good round while a frustrated Marrero did some more showboating. In the 7th Marrero received but another warning hitting behind the head (6th warning for fouls). In the 8th and final round Marrero received a 7th warning. Both fighters were punching when the bell sounded.
Cuban super featherweight Alexei "Hurricane" Collado, 18-0 (16), out of IRE, coming to the US in his 3rd straight time after spending his career in the UK won a hard fought 8 round decision over Mexican Edgar "Basuras" Riovalle, 36-17-2 (25).
Collado rocked Riovalle in the 1st round causing an abrasion on the left side of his face outside of the eye. In the 4th Collado received a warning for low blow and put his glove out to apologize to Riovalle who had nothing to do with it smacking it away. Good round for Riovalle as he did some showboating of his own.
There was another low blow by Collado in the 5th. Riovalle returned the "favor" later in the round. The 6th was the best round of the fight as Riovalle gave Collado a bloody nose in some good exchanges. In the 7th it was another entertaining round. Collado lacks a jab and depends on combinations. In the 8th and final round Riovalle rocked Collado with a combination. Riovalle won the crowd over but lost on all cards 78-74 as was DHB. Referee Smoger did his usual excellent job.
Sammy "the Who Can Mexican" Vasquez, 13-0 (9), Monesson, PA, stopped Dominican Berlin Abreu, 7-1 (5), out of Providence, RI, in the 4th after coming off the canvas earlier.
Many fans came from Western PA to root their 2-time Iraq veteran Vasquez on. Executive Director Greg Sirb held the start of the fight up for about 5 minutes questioning the knee guard on Abreu's right knee. The fans didn't care for the delay. This should have been discussed in the dressing room before the fight not at fight time.
After easily taking the 1st round mixing up boxing and punching Vasquez found himself on the canvas in an exchange in the 2nd round. He got up and staggered Abreu who was holding on at the bell.
In the 3rd the fight heated up even more with Vasquez rocking Abreu with a combination. Vasquez landed 4 straight punches drawing blood from the nose of Abreu who wobbled back to his corner at the bell. In the 4th Vasquez picked up where he left off ad the hard hitting Abreu tried to vend him off Vasquez had too much all around ability and heart to back up as he punished Abreu into the ropes out on his feet when referee Steve "Double SS" Smoger wisely stepped in at the 0:29 mark.
In this the fight of the night it lived up to expectations and then some! Vasquez is signed with Iron Mike Promotions.
18 year old welterweight southpaw Erickson "The Hammer" Lubin, 4-0 (4), Orlando, FL, scored a 3rd round stoppage at 2:01 of the round when referee Smoger saved Tirobio Ball, 4-1-1 (1), of Meidian, MS, from any more punishment. Ball suffered a small cut over his forehead possibly from an accidental head butt. In the 2nd round Lubin was throwing left uppercuts doing a little showboating to the crowd. Ball was dropped just prior to the bell in the 3rd.
In opening bout middleweight Farid Aghayev, 1-0-1 (1), of Azerbaijan and Lenny Dardar 1-0-1 (0), of New Orleans, LA. Battled to a draw Referee Rosato warned Aghayev 7 times for infractions.
Darbar suffered a nasty cut on his right eyebrow and a small one on his left in the 3rd round. In the 4th and final round Darbar had Aghayev hurt with a right hand causing his opponent's legs to wobble. Two more times before the bell he rocked him again. A majority draw with scores of 38-38 and a 39-37 for Aghayev by LaRosa. Darbar hadn't fought in 4 years due to a MMA career.
Prior to the show Tyson was being introduced by former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes. Last time they saw each other Holmes was looking up from the canvas. He said before getting knocked out "feet don't fail me now" as his feet left the canvas! Former "white hope" Gerry Cooney who was beat by Holmes was doing the broadcast with Holmes. Head man of the broadcast team was Mike Mittman.

Inspeqtor 0.8.0 is now available for your monitoring needs. If you are using Monit, bluepill, god, eye or any other process monitoring system, I hope you'll check out Inspeqtor. It's different because it's simple and opinionated.
What's New in Inspeqtor?
Plain old Inspeqtor sees a dozen bugfixes for 0.8.0 with no new notable features. I'm pretty happy with the feature set as it stands today. Consider this a pre-1.0 release.
What's New in Inspeqtor Pro?
I've spent a good amount of the last month working on a really cool new feature for Inspeqtor Pro: real-time memory monitoring and visualization for Go applications. The new feature is covered in depth in this new wiki page but who can resist a little eye candy?
The Web UI is a combination of Bootstrap and Mozilla's new MetricsGraphics.js library. It's easy to use and recommended if you need some metrics visualization in JS.
Of course you can use this feature to pipe memory data from your daemon into statsd and view it within your existing metrics visualization system and not use the Web UI at all.
Ready to try it? Go here to download and install Inspeqtor.

With 15 hardpoints, the Skyraider could be loaded up with almost anything.
Wright R-3350-26WA with 2700 hp
General Information
Manufactured by Douglas Aircraft, the first prototype for the Skyraider took to the skies in 1945. It would be the mid-50's though, during the Korean conflict, before the Skyraider saw front-line service with the US Navy and Marines. This single-seat, prop-driven attack aircraft found its niche carrying 14,500lbs on take-off and delivering its payload with precision, often enduring significant battle damage in the process. Later during the Vietnam conflict, when most other propellered fighters and attack aircraft had been traded in on the latest and greatest jets, the venerable 'Spad' with it's long loiter time, 'low and slow' delivery system, and ability to get home despite being in less than one piece carved out yet another niche for itself. Indeed, the Skyraider proved itself to be so good that the USAF added some to their helicopter Search and Rescue missions. It served as the 'Sandy' helicopter escort, providing close air support, forward air control, and anything else that required the special brand of support that the Skyraider provided. By the end of 1972, all Skyraiders in the US inventory had been taken out of service. Many went to the South Vietnamese Air Force and later to the French l'Armee de l'Air.
Specific Information
BuNo 126965 is an AD-4NA built in the early-50's. While with the US Navy it served aboard the USS Kearsarge with VA-115 in 1953, off the coast of Korea. The cease-fire was called before it saw combat action, however the aircraft of VA-115 conducted DMZ patrols for the duration of the cruise. When it returned stateside it was stationed with FASRON 8 at Alameda before transitioning to FAETULANT in Norfolk, VA from November 1954 until August 1955. She ultimately entered storage at Litchfield Park in August 1957. She was stricken from the Navy list in July 1958, and left storage for France in March 1960.
While with the French l'Armee de l'Air, our Skyraider was based at Chateaudun but served in Algeria in 1962, Djibouti in 1968, Madagascar in 1971, and Chad in 1976. It was sent to storage with Sogerma in September 1979 where it remained until 1983. The Musee de l'Air at Le Buurget acquired the aircraft in 1984, and sold it to a private owner in Belgium in 1985. This aircraft was purchased by Heritage Flight Museum in February of 2004 and very arduously flown, towed, cargoed, towed again, and flown again back to Bellingham from Belgium!
Because of HFM's USAF background, and because the Skyraider was used with great success by the Navy and the Air Force, we chose to 'dress' our Skyraider in typical USAF colors thus the reason we refer to it by it's USAF designation of A-1.

A 26-year-old Nashville woman was charged this Monday in the attempted murder of a homeless man and is being held on $25,000 bond, according to the Tennessean.
Police say that the man, identified as 54-year-old Gerard Melton, was "trying to sleep on the sidewalk" at around 3 a.m. when he "became disturbed by exhaust fumes and loud music coming from a Porsche SUV" which was owned by the suspect, Katie Layne Quackenbush.
When Melton asked Quackenbush to move the car, the two allegedly began yelling at each other.
From the Tennessean:
Police say that after Melton walked back to where he had been trying to sleep, Quackenbush got out of her vehicle with a gun and the argument continued. She allegedly fired two shots at Melton, who was wounded in the abdomen.
Melton reported that the shooter got back into the Porsche and left the scene.
But Quackenbush's father, Texas attorney Jesse Quackenbush, claims his daughter was acting in self-defense after Melton threatened to kill her and her friend. He said his daughter only meant to fire two "warning shots" and "thought the gun was pointed away" from Melton because she had her eyes closed.
"She didn't try and kill this guy," Jesse Quackenbush said after his daughter was arrested. "She had no intention of killing him. She didn't know that she hit him."
She is scheduled to appear in court on October 6.

Latin American free-press advocate drops request to hide conviction record from public
A Latin American free-press advocate has abandoned an effort to seal court records detailing his conviction for a DUI car-crash fatality on Miami Beach.
Sean Casey, who is still in prison for the crime, dropped the request one day after The Miami Herald published a story about his case.
A former projects administrator for the Inter American Press Association, Casey built his career traveling Latin America promoting a free and independent journalism.
After his conviction for a 2001 hit-and-run car crash, Casey and supporters cited free-press ideals in mounting a campaign to try and unseal illegally obtained evidence he insisted showed he was unfairly sent to prison. The legal efforts failed.
Casey is scheduled for release from prison next year.
But last month — in a request deemed "legal chutzpah" by prosecutors — Casey asked to seal court records detailing his conviction, a rarity in a state known for a liberal and open public records law.
Casey said he deserved a chance to resume traveling to Latin America as part of his job teaching the principles of an independent press. But he needed his records sealed because most South American countries do allow in visitors who have been convicted of crimes in their home nations.
The State Attorney's Office objected to Casey's request. A hearing set for April has now been canceled.
"He withdrew it because he didn't want it to become a public spectacle," said his defense lawyer, David S. Markus.

It's hard to talk to people who are angry or full of hatred. After this election, you might've flipped the table when your Aunt Shelby mentioned how great certain politicians will be for America.

Let's Talk Poltics: Reconnecting With Those With Whom You Disagree
How Low Can Congress' Approval Rating Get? We'll Know After the Elections
With the midterm elections just a few days away, politicos across the country are on the edge of their seats waiting to see whether the Republicans will take back control of the Senate. It seems as though the GOP has a stranglehold on retaining a majority presence in the House of Representatives, and now the polls indicate that they might in fact edge out the Democrats in the other chamber of Congress as well.… [Read more]
Are Young Black Men Broken?
Have we been brainwashed into believing there is a "black male problem" that needs to be fixed? What kind of message is this sending to young black men? Are they broken and in need of repair?
I've been asking myself these questions lately. For years we have been exposed to "plight of the black man" messaging.… [Read more]
As Keystone XL Dominoes Fall, Time to Arrest Tar Sands Industry
We've got this.
Thanks to the courageous and indefatigable efforts of pipeline fighters everywhere, the tide has finally turned on Keystone XL. As it becomes increasingly clear that Keystone XL's northern leg is not going through, it is time to set our sights on ending all tar sands exploitation.
The Obama administration's latest election year delay on Keystone North is not a victory, but the dominoes continue to fall.… [Read more]
Love Him or Leave Him
I saw a poll among voters who consider President Obama to be the worst president in post-FDR history. They ranked President Reagan as the greatest. It isn't hard to dismiss this sort of faux-information as shallow, given the fact that Duck Dynasty and the Bachelorette continue to get high ratings, but I must admit that a wave of dark energy coursed through my veins.… [Read more]
Pinocchio's Nose
This morning I heard 3 commercials for 3 different Republican candidates and they all said a variation of the same thing: "I will protect your freedoms from the encroachment of growing government."
Great line. Who wouldn't want that? It resonates and there is a lot of evidence of that "growing government" by which to give the statement credibility.… [Read more]
All By Myself
It's a challenge to feel 'musical' when surrounded by so much negativity. The "Say It In Song" space has always been used to connect songs of any era and genre to current political events but, given that songs often evoke powerful emotions, it has been difficult to post songs when political tensions are already running so high (or low, if one is taking the disgust factor into consideration).… [Read more]

Collateral Damage
As a result of their attempt to block the Affordable Care Act, the American people have become collateral damage in the latest Republican assault on the Presidency of Barack Obama.

Right now, the POTUS is not blinking
"We are not going to pay a ransom for America paying its bills." ~ President Obama
The 8-day old U.S. government shutdown has been described as 'a game of chicken'. Today at a press conference, President Obama announced that he spoke with House Speaker John Boehner and told him that "Hanging the threat of economic chaos over the heads of the American people should not be part of any discussion about the government shutdown." That certainly set the stage for what is now clear: the president is not blinking as of right now on the issue of the debt ceiling and defaulting on the nation's debt.… [Read more]

Laws Cool: Shorten the Paper Chase?
The nice part of being a second-term President is you never have to worry about being elected again.

Enter the bully pulpit.

Conservative 'Idiocracy'
The other day, a guy I know was complaining about the Obamas going on yet another vacation. When I told him that both Ronald Reagan and George W.

Another stop on the state of the economy road trip
"How about a 'grand bargain' for middle-class jobs?" Indeed, that is the question.

"Washington has taken its eye off the ball…"
Speaking at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, President Obama delivered a speech yesterday on the state of the US economy. Providing context he discussed how far the nation has come, fiscally speaking, since the beginning of his first term. For those short on memory, lest we forget, the nation has fought its way back from a financial meltdown and a housing bubble; Wall Street had run amok, the financial services sector was in danger, homeowners saw their housing values decline and, with it, the net worth of many Americans experienced a sharp devaluation.… [Read more]

Careful is one form of endeavor in life, both cautious in morals, talk, or do something. Sometimes we have to do something carefully as possible to obtain the salvation of souls, body and possessions, but Allah willed others, testing and temptation came over. What's done is let into the secret of Allah, people just live it as sunatulloh.
Cautious attitude is not only outside the home such as in driving or on foot. Inside the house should also remain vigilant. Why is that? Because disasters can happen anywhere.
I experienced it a few days ago. In my own home, in front of my own eyes, I became a victim of fraud with credit card mode. Nominal millions disappeared from my hand, turned into credit card bills. During this credit card has not been at all I use. The fraudsters came to the house carrying swipe machine as a tool to steal clients' money. Very sad when remembering 😦
By trying to be wise, I said: Everything is the will of Allah that has been outlined to me.. If traced the cause, I am referring to the credit card issuing bank, why the customer data can be accessed other parties who are not responsible? they know all my data to detail. The reason why I finally obey the request of the swindlers to swipe a credit card online with an alibi deposit will be refunded after 3 months.
Not long after that I am aware of and contact the customer service number bank, they say: do not work with the company and the Bank is not responsible for leaking a database of customers, let alone compensation.
Weak, confused, and sad.. : (
The only way out is to try to accept this, sincere and patient. Perhaps Allah has better plans for me after this incident. Amin..

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Bold (emotionally) (08/30/07)
TITLE: Revelations in the Dark
By George Parler
"Lord, I am weak. I don't know how much more I can take." He hears a scream in the distance; shouting and cursing follow. His arms and hands begin to ache remembering the broken bones. "Why didn't I consider these things before now?"
"Lord, I don't know if You hear me but I pray to You anyway. It's my only comfort, my only hope. I am ashamed of having thoughts of taking my own life to escape my tormentors, but I am too afraid to do so. Constantly, fear whispers to me. Speak to me God; drown out those whispers. Speak to me, please." Tears flood his bludgeoned face as he drops to his hands and knees.
A small sliding door opens and a tin plate with a spoon full of oatmeal is shoved into the cell floor behind him. A familiar voice is heard, "Eat up, it's your last meal before you die today." It was the same every morning; the same cold food and same message. But it was a lie. You never have the luxury of dying. Death had become more precious than all the world's riches.
Footsteps approach, keys rattle in the door, his cell door! His heart races as he staggers to his feet backing into the corner. The door swings wide as two guards enter. "It's your turn again, preacher. Let's go."
"No! God, no! Not again!" He struggles to keep them away but pain races through his body as he succumbs to their nightsticks. Shackled and handcuffed they drag him unconscious down the silent hall.
Water splashes in his face. "Wake up! No time to sleep!" He finds himself handcuffed and shackled to a familiar wooden chair with a bright light in his face. The chair shakes as his trembling hands grip the arms of the chair.
"Okay, now you know the drill, I'm going to give you choices. Do you remember what they are?" He nods his head up and down, sobbing. "We do not have to do this. You can return to society as a useful citizen. All you have to do is denounce this false God who you claim is the one all powerful God. If he is so loving and powerful, why does he let you suffer these things? You can stop this needless pain and suffering right here and now. Just say the words, 'There is no God, no Jesus, and no Holy Spirit' and you can leave here a free man. Then you simply sign this document to become a United World Order citizen and receive a small magnetic strip injected under the skin of your forehead or, if you choose, in the back of your hand. Then all of this will be over and it will be like a bad dream that you can put behind you as you move on with the rest of your life in the pursuit of happiness. So what is your answer; freedom?" He puts his face directly in front of the preacher and glares at him through eyes as black as coal. "Or will it be more pain? But I promise you, my patience has grown thin. What you have experienced so far will be child's play compared to what will happen to you. So what is your answer?"
Meanwhile, in his empty cell the sun still shines through the window. Strangely the bars on the window display the shadow of the cross in the middle of the floor where the preacher stood. Suddenly, the distant echoes of his screams and agony break the silence, finding their way back to the empty cell.
Finally, silence follows the sound of the guillotine. The clouds gather as a storm approaches. The cross fades from the floor as the brightness of the sun withdraws from the room. In the corner of the cell where he would always retreat from his tormentors was a message engraved on the wall from Revelations 20:4; left for those who would come after him.
The rain washes the guillotine's stain as death groans in disgust in the darkness of the empty cell.

Many people reading about the death of Thomas Edison in 1931 would have been among the first generation to have reaped the benefits of his numerous inventions-from practical electric lighting to recording. They learned in The Post, perhaps for the first time, where the great inventor stood on matters of a more spiritual nature. An excerpt from Oct. 19, 1931:
West Orange, N.J., Oct. 18 (U.P.)- In the dark hours of early morning, Thomas Alva Edison today passed peacefully from a deep sleep into death, and a world whose civilization he revolutionized paid reverent homage to the most brilliant inventive mind it had ever known.
There was peace in the chamber, where his figure, serene in death, now rested. There was peace throughout the sunshine-flooded park, where he made his home. The physical manifestation of the world's reverence was borne in to his sorrowing family through those myriad channels of communication he himself had worked to perfect-by telephone and telegraph and radio. But within the grounds of Llewellyn Park there was only the occasional purr of an automobile to disturb the silence in which they permitted him to rest.
Outside the five great gates of the park were uniformed guards preventing an anxious and curious world from intruding upon the Edison family. Inside, at the garage which had been their headquarters during the long hours of Edison's illness, were the representatives of the Nation's newspapers-and the great journals of many foreign lands-to give the world their portrayals of the final scenes in a life crowned with activity and color. ...
"Calmly submissive to the will of the Almighty," Mrs. Mina Miller Edison, his wife, bowed to the inevitable and bravely accepted the passing of her husband ...
The mystery of death had found the great scientist, at the last, openly and frankly a believer in the existence of a supreme intelligence. As a philosopher, stoutly declining to become involved in creed or dogma of any branch of religious training, he had evolved his own theory of life and death out of the manifestations of nature into which he had probed throughout a life of experimentation and study.
Hence it was significant, as he lay in death, that there should have come to the waiting newspapermen another message dealing with this phase of his mind.
With the wishes of the family in mind, Arthur L. Walsh gave out the following statement:
"The question has been asked whether Mr. Edison changed his religious beliefs before death. Members of the Edison family state that this is a difficult question to answer because of the widespread misunderstanding of what his beliefs actually were. Mr. Edison can not be said to have changed views attributed to him which he never held.
"He never was an atheist. Although he subscribed to no orthodox creed, no one who knew him could have doubted his belief in and reverence for a Supreme Intelligence, and his whole life, in which the ideal of honest, loving service to his fellowman was predominant, indicated faithfully those two commandments wherein lies `all the law and all the prophets.'"

Their names are inscribed on a plaque at the base of the pillar.
"Thank you so much for all your help in organising my sons 5th birthday party. Everything was superb and went so well. Please give our special thanks to the Captain and the crew, they were amazing and really appreciate their coming back for 2 kids which were left behind due to traffic. Will be definitely recommending to my friends, it was an experience I'll treasure."Shivani, Golden Star, 12th October

7 Things to Think About Before You Hit Publish
Whether you're a real estate content marketing expert or are just getting started as a blogger, there are a few must-do items to take care of before you hit publish and send your blog out into the world. Some are obvious —like checking for spelling and grammar mistakes— and others require a bit more time and attention.
Use this checklist to help you feel confident about your piece before you share it with the world.
#1. Craft a Compelling Title
No matter how great your content is, the title is what compels the reader to click through. When you create a compelling and descriptive title, you have a better chance of your post being read. And, by adding keywords that help describe what the content is about, you're also optimizing the post for search engines.
Our recent blog, 5 Crazy Simple Ways to Give Your Words More Impact on the Web, can help you with your title creation.
#2. Break it Up
No one wants to read a term paper on their mobile device. To ensure that your post has the best chance of being read, break up the content into short sections and use bullet points and subheadings where you can. This makes it both visually appealing and easy to digest.
#3. Link Past Posts
If you're mentioning topics that you've written about in the past, be sure to link to those past posts. Doing so not only gives readers more information, but it also keeps them on your site longer. (Which gives them more opportunity to learn about you, your company, or your services!)
#4. Label Your Images
Are you adding images to your post? If so, be sure that they're labeled correctly. A file labeled "Image_8394" can't be found easily via search engines. But, if your image is labeled "Atlanta Real Estate Trends" —it's more likely to be found if people are searching online for that topic.
#5. Ask a Question
Blogging is a great way to become a real estate influencer and get your audience talking —but what are you asking them to talk about? Be sure to have a "Call to Action" at the end of each post that asks them or compels them to do something. Maybe that's to share their insights with you on social media. Perhaps you want them to sign up for your blog. Whatever it is —ask!
#6. Categorize and Tag
Have you picked the correct category for your post? This helps your readers easily find content they're interested in via your blog and —if tagged properly— can help your post be found through search engines. Most blogging platforms, like WordPress, will ask you for the category and tags.
#7. Run a Spellcheck
No matter how quickly you want to get your new post out into the world, spelling and grammar should never be sacrificed. Run a spelling and grammar check —or, have a colleague read through it before hitting publish.
And, once you've officially hit publish, here are 21 ways to promote your real estate blog!

Nualight Group appoints new chairman
18 December 2012 17.00 GMT
(Ireland) - International Lighting Executive Per Langholz has been appointed Non-Executive Chairman of the Nualight Group as the Irish LED lighting technology specialist accelerates its global expansion.
Langholz is the former President of Sylvania Lighting International, where he led the company to profitable operation and annual turnover of over €400million. He has over 25 years of experience in the lighting industry.
He succeeds Eamonn Quinn of the Quinn family, founders of the Superquinn grocery chain which pioneered many innovative retail technology and food concepts. Mr. Quinn will remain on the Nualight Group Board.
"Eamonn Quinn brought invaluable global grocery retailer expertise to our business since commercialisation in 2007, helping us to become recognised by major food retailers internationally as the applications specialists in LED lighting for food retail," said Nualight Group CEO, Dr Liam Kelly.
Quinn welcomed the new appointment, saying, "As we continue to grow globally and drive expansion into new market segments, Per Langholz's experience will make a tremendous contribution."
Founded by Dr Kelly, the Nualight Group is a LED lighting technology specialist with a core focus on retail. The Group's vision is to bring lighting into a new technology age, delivering smart LED lighting solutions that maximise the profitability and productivity of the lit space.
Since 2007, Nualight has pioneered LED lighting in the refrigerated cabinets of leading grocery retail chains such as Tesco, COOP Group, Migros, Sainsbury's and many more. The Nualight brand is known for enhanced merchandising impact which has driven its success in the food retail space. The company acquired Lumotech B.V. in August 2011, accelerating its expansion into LED lighting for the entire store and opening up new market niches in corporate and commercial lighting applications. Lumotech is also a LED drivers design and manufacturing company supplying major European luminaire manufacturers, bringing additional competence in power management and controls to the Nualight Group. This is central to the Group's strategy of developing smart lighting solutions for its customers.
Nualight was recently listed in the Global Cleantech 100, selected by cleantech experts from over 8,000 nominations worldwide, which highlights companies most likely to make a significant market impact in the next 5-10 years. It has gone from startup status 5 years ago to employing over 200 people in three locations worldwide.
Nualight is funded by Climate Change Capital, ESB Novus Modus, 4th Level Ventures and the Quinn retail family.

Different types of liposuction
Liposuction in Hagerstown requires the use of different methods and there are different variations which were introduced over time.
Fluid liposuction
Fluid injection is a method where a medicated solution gets injected in the fatty tissue before fat cells are removed. The fluid used is a mixture of lidocaine, intravenous salt solution with epinephrine. It helps to remove the fat easily with less blood loss. It also provides an anesthesia for the surgery. This fluid injection helps in reducing bruises due to the procedure. The doctor will decide how much fluid should be used during the procedure.
Tumescent liposuction
When the tumescent technique will be used, then the doctor will use adequate amount of liquid and up to three times of the fat will be removed. A tumescent liposuction is performed on a patient who wants local anesthetic and it may take longer compared to the traditional liposuction. Since the fluid has enough anesthetic, the additional anesthesia is not needed. This technique was named after the tumescent state which is firm and swollen state of fatty tissue when the solution has been filled in these tissues.
Super wet technique
Super Wet technique is the same as tumescent technique but it requires less fluid. The amount of the fluid that will be used is the same as the fat that has to be removed. The technique will require the use of general anesthesia and IV sedation. It takes one or two hours.
Ultrasound Assisted lipoplasty
Ultrasound-Assisted lipoplasty (UAL) is a technique which uses a special cannula which produces an ultrasonic energy. When it passes in the area where there is fat, energy explodes the walls of the fat cells and it liquefies the fat. Fat is then removed using the traditional liposuction method. UAL has been known to improve effectiveness and ease of liposuction in the fibrous areas of the body like enlarged male breasts and upper back breast. It can also be used as a secondary procedure where precision is required. UAL takes longer compared to a traditional liposuction for completion.
Each of these methods is known to be safe whenever the patient chooses a qualified and experienced technician and a facility which has all the required equipment. The doctor has to be trained in basic surgical training besides a specialty in body contouring.

Bone broth from beef and chickens.
Since there has been so many people asking about how to make bone broth, or as my DH would call it "Bone jelly". I just happened to make some yesterday and thought I'd help some of you out by posting my recipe and how I do it. I have had great success with my method. It can be either real easy or time consuming, but either way it turns out flawless for me every single time. I will give you the amounts of what I use and the two different types I make right now are chicken and beef.
My crock pot is a 5 quart programmable stainless steel one, I had a bigger one and I'm going to get another one just for making bone broth easier.
I only use grass fed bones and day old marked down organic produce that I get from a store right around the corner from my house for 1.00 a bag and I pull out what is usable and compost the rest in my friends keyhole garden. I get my beef bones at Whole Foods Market for only 2.99 a pound, that is less expensive than the regular grocery chains non- grass fed bones of 5.99 a pound. I also will be getting bones from Farm to Forks, a wonderful new thing I just learned about. That is where I got my chicken carcasses and feet from for a awesome price of 1.00 a pound. The carcasses are meaty enough to make chicken soup out of and then make bone broth. Here is the hows and how much
Ingredients for chicken broth
10 chicken feet
2 chicken carcusses
4 to 6 cloves of whole garlic
1 whole onion skin on
8 to 10 whole peppercorns
2 TBS Apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
3 to 4 celery stalks with leaves
2 to 3 carrots
If your crock pot or stock pot is large enough you can leave the vegetables whole for ease of removal.
Place all ingredients in your stock pot (my chicken parts are frozen and my crock pot is small, this is why I start it this way)
cover with purified water and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer all day. Transfer to your crock pot right before bed time and continue cooking in your crock pot for 20 more hours. Strain your broth after cooking in your crock pot and place into your refrigerator until the fat rises to the top and solidifies. Scrap off the fat if you wish and put into jars or other containers, for a space saver you can put the chilled jellied broth into zip lock baggies and freeze flat. I freeze a couple jars, making sure I leave 1 full inch at the top for expansion.
Beef bone broth ingredients
3 to 6 pounds of Beef bones ( what ever you can fit in the crock pot)
4 to 6 cloves of whole garlic
1 whole onion skin on
8 to 10 whole peppercorns
2 TBS Apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
3 to 4 celery stalks with leaves
2 to 3 carrots
Put all ingredients into the crock pot and cover with purified water turn on low and cook for 30 hours. It has a rich beefy taste with garlic overtones.

I've had to make a hard decision recently to replace Ryan Wummel, my longtime composer, on Frankenstein vs the Wolfman. Ryan started with me on my filmmaking hobby back in 1998 by doing songs for my vampire(?) opus Gothik, and then providing the scores for both Raven movies. As we were working on Frankenstein vs the Wolfman, it became apparent that the score would have to be a more "classical" orchestral score, which ended up being at odds with Ryan's background in Trance, Techno and loop-based music. Currently, Ryan is working on ads for Nike, if you can believe it, with a production outfit based out of Chicago.
I've tapped Andrew Kalbfus for FvTWM. Andy was recommended to me by my producer & brother-in-law, Andy Carlson - and thus, will hereto be known as Other Andy. We had a pretty good initial meeting in which we discussed what the music should do, influences and generally determined where the music was going to be present in the movie. Other Andy tells me he's always wanted to do a movie score... so now he gets his chance. He promises me that the music for the trailer will be done by the end of August.
Now that everything, sans the score, is virtually in place (a few sound fx remain to be recorded), I've been spending time watching movies and playing videogames. It's almost like a vacation from the rigors of animating. I've been playing Bioshock for the Xbox 360 this week, and it's very cool - taking place in an elaborate, Art Deco underwater city (circa 1960) with some of the most realistic water effects I've ever seen.

The Science of Screaming
Leeta and Milo's ADR has been recorded... Grace and Amanda came over and spent some time whimpering, breathing heavily and shrieking into a microphone. Grace had some trouble screaming for us, so it sounds like we'll be using a scream double for Leeta.
In other news, the DVD cover is pretty much finalized. We'll be printing out a stack of them soon.

Dennis Alexio vs Jerry Rhome & Espinoza De Silva Pro Karate Fights DVDSKU: VL0706A
2 fights! Dennis "the Terminator" Alexio vs Jerry Rhome and Espinoza De Silva! Dennis Alexio, one of the world's greatest professional karate fighters (often dressed in his native Hawaiian grass skirt) had an outstanding record of 68-1. His 'tough ass' attitude in the ring made him one of the most formidable fighters, if not the most formidable, to ever step inside the squared circle. His round house kicks to the head often delivered the 'goodnight' to his opponents, and there was no avoiding his phenomenal power. These devastating high kicks were matched only by his axe-chopping low kicks to the thigh that were absolutely paralyzing to his opponents. Presented by Bob Wall.
