Also, the auditorium of the 47th operations group (Air Force flying group) is named in his honor as well. Some wreckage from Major Andersons aircraft is actually displayed in 3 museums over Cuba, there is also a movie portraying the shooting down of Anderson in “Thirteen Days” Anderson is portrayed by Chip Esten.”…

    In fact, a summary of Howard the Duck’s history is Howard disappeared from his home world when the power hungry demon Thog the Nether-Spawn used his magic to cause the “Interdimensional Cosmic Axis” to shift. Howard was taken from his home dimension and dropped into the middle of Florida on our Earth. In an effort to set the Cosmic Axis right and return home, Howard joined with “Korrek the Barbarian”, who also came from another dimension, Jennifer Kale, Dakimh the Enchanter, and the Man-Thing. The battle against Thog ended for Howard when he fell off the other dimensional Stepping Stones of Oblivion and landed back on our Earth in the city of Cleveland, Ohio. In Cleveland, Howard first met the young Life Model Beverly Switzler when they were both menaced by the costumed criminal accountant “Pro-Rata.” Howard and Beverly escaped and began living together. Their relationship lasted a long time, but is now apparently over according to superhero database.com. This greatly differs from King Shark because King Shark’s history is completely unknown.

    Heroes of 9/11

    In this story, as there is in most stories, there are monsters, not just heroes. The terror organization Al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility for this attack against our country. Al-Qaeda’s leader, Osama Bin Laden, was killed May last year, so even though there was closure for the victim’s family and friends, in my opinion the monster won this round. On September 11th 2001, the day that will live in infamy, the terrorists won; they…

    Tom Burnett was a hero on flight 93, who decided to fight the hijackers. While on the plane Tom made a series of four phone calls to his wife. In these phone calls he told her that the plane was taken over, that they had a plan and that he was most likely going to die, but he and two others were going to do something. Tom and two others fought the captors and crashed the plane, before it hit its target which was reported to be either the White house or U.S. capital building. This heroic act saved an extraordinary amount of lives and possibly even the president’s life. If Tom and few others had not been so brave, risking their lives confronting the hijackers, then 9/11 would be such a greater devastation to the United States.…

    Degenerative Disk Disease

    Over time, chiropractors have developed new and improved techniques that work differently depending on your situation. Three of the top methods are the Gonstead technique, Diversified technique and the Applied Kinesiology technique. The most basic one is the Gonstead. This is where the chiropractor takes x-rays of your spine and uses that to pinpoint the problem area. This is often the safest practice and is used on children, pregnant women and the elderly. The Diversified technique is taught in many chiropractic institutions. It is used to treat a variety of issues you may be experiencing from herniated disks to carpal tunnel. When the chiropractor uses such methods, it usually results in a loud popping sound, a restored joint or an improved neurologic function. The third form used is Applied Kinesiology. This particular one is used primarily for athletes. This approach is used by massaging various pressure points to help restore normal muscle function. If any one goes about this tactic, it is mainly relying on muscle testing as their source of feedback. It is stated to be one of the most specific diagnostic tools used when determining the more correct course of…
