Quote of the Week

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times"  Bruce Lee

So much meaning behind this beautiful quote. Don't be afraid of someone that has been taught or practiced many things just once, but be more afraid or aware of someone that has been taught or has practiced one thing, many times.  As my instructor used to say, "practice makes perfect" and to perfect something, especially in martial arts, takes time, understanding, and constant practice.

Darkness Radio - Paranormal Radio Show


As a big fan of the paranormal, having witnessed and experienced a couple of “paranormal” things in my time, I love watching shows such as Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, Finding Bigfoot, and Fact or Faked. 

For the last 12 months, having started a new job where walking to work is more of a regular occurrence, I have been listening to a fantastic radio show, presented by Dave Schrader (one of the judges in Paranormal Challenge) and co-hosted by the very lovely Mallie Fox and the very cool Tim Dennis.  Their show, Darkness On The Edge of Town, which is available via their website www.darknessradio.com and via iTunesPodcast, is a brilliant 1 hour show which discusses things like ghosts, UFOs, bigfoot, and the very famous and intriguing Black Eyed Kids phenomena.

The show is THE best in paranormal podcasts/radio shows.  Not only does it intrigue and educate, I also find myself laughing to the very funny hosts who are very comical.  I recommend listening to Dave Schrader’s Don Johnson impression...

The show boasts some very exciting and leading guests who are well known within the world of the paranormal, not to mention the very scary stories from listeners during call ins.

I strongly suggest to anyone who has an interest in anything remotely paranormal tunes in and listens to this show.  It makes my 45 minute walk to work more exciting!

Back To The Future for DeLorean

Well well well, The world famous De Lorean DMC-12, the car made world famous in the 1985 Sci Fi comedy adventure film, Back To The Future will make it's debut in the USA in 2013.  Not only is it coming back but the first model will be electric and will be very cleverly known as Electric DeLorean.  The new electric model will cost around $95,000, will start being made in January and be delivered in February or March 2013.

The new DeLorean will stil have it's famous gull-wing doors, rear-mounted engine and stainless steel body.  It's powered by a 32  kilowatt-hour lithium-ion phosphate battery system. It’s still sporty, It also boasts a fantastic 0 - 60mph in less than six seconds! So we calculate hitting 88mph in about 8 seconds, although time travel is still not possible!

The DeLorean first started production in 1981/1982 in Dunmurry in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  It was manufactured by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company, for the American Market.  It was a 2-door coupe with a 2849cc Engine, 150bhp and came in a 5-speed manual or 3-speed auto transmission.  It is believed that 9,000 of these vehicles were made before production was halted in 1982. Only 6,500 of these rare vehicles exist to this day!  We are very excited that the DeLorean is making a comeback, especially as a "green" version.

I wish they would follow this up by making Back to the Future Part 4.....
