Chengdu J-7 Aircraft

The Chengdu Jian-7 (export versions F-7) is a People's Republic of China-built version of the Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21. Though production ceased in 2008 it continues to serve, mostly as an interceptor, in several air forces. In the 1950s and early 1960s, the Soviet Union shared most of its conventional weapons technology with the People's Republic of China. One of these was the limited cooperation between the two countries in the early stage development of the famous MiG-21 short-range interceptor-fighter aircraft. Powered by a single engine and designed on a simple airframe, these fighters were inexpensive but fast, suiting the strategy of forming large groups of 'people's fighters' to overcome the technological advantages of Western aircraft.

Younger of the Klitschkos One of the Greats?

With two reigns as champion, Wladimir Klitschko is closing in on the all-time greats.

Say what you will about IBF/WBO heavyweight titlist Wladimir Klischko - but numbers don't lie.

While many within the sport denigrate the accomplishments of the younger of the fighting Klitschko brothers, what is becoming clear is that he is beginning to put up some legitimate numbers when it comes to defending his heavyweight titles and the length of time he has held those belts.

It is likely that no heavyweight fighter will ever replicate or surpass the gold standard numbers of Joe Louis. The "Brown Bomber" held the heavyweight championship of the world for a little over 11 years and 8 months. He defended the championship an amazing 25 times.

Only Larry Holmes at 20 successful title defenses and Muhammad Ali at 19 have come close to Louis' all-time mark. Neither man, who each held the heavyweight championship a little over 7 years are close to Louis' nearly 12-year reign.

Kllitschko, with two reigns as a heavyweight belt holder, has defended those belts 13 times. That ranks him fifth all-time behind Louis, Holmes, Ali and Lennox Lewis who chalked up 14 title defenses.

The younger Klitschko, whose brother Vitali currently holds the WBC belt, has also held his titles for just over six years. Only Louis, Ali, Holmes and Jack Dempsey have held the title for a longer period of time.

Klitschko then, is in hall of fame company. Granted, the heavyweight championship of the world isn't what it used to be, but what is in this day and age?

But before we say that Klitschko has faced a series of no-hopers, you have to ask yourself this: Was Joe Louis' "Bum of the Month Club" that featured defenses against names such as Red Burman, Gus Dorazio or Tony Musto any more impressive than Ali's defenses against the likes of Jean-Pierre Coopman, Richard Dunn or Alfedo Evangelista? Were Holmes' defenses against the likes of Lorenzo Zanon, Scott LeDoux and Leroy Jones better than those that Lennox Lewis made against Phil Jackson, Henry Akinwande or Zeljko Mavrovic?

Whatever the case, Klitschko is closing in on some historical all-time numbers. He's fifth all-time in title defenses and fifth all-time in length of reign.

Maybe he isn't so bad after all.


Joe Louis - 25 title defenses - Reigned 11 years, 8 months, 9 days

Muhammad Ali - 19 title defenses - Reigned 7 years, 5 months, 10 days

Larry Holmes - 20 title defenses - Reigned 7 years, 3 months, 12 days

Jack Dempsey - 6 title defenses - Reigned 7 years, 2 months, 19 days

Wladimir Klitschko - 13 title defenses - Reigned 6 years, 4months (current)

Lennox Lewis - 14 title defenses - Reigned 6 years, 2months, 14 days

"What we do in life echoes in eternity."

"What we do in life echoes in eternity." This was the qoute that summed up Manny Pacquiao speech during acceptance of his award as athlete of the decade at the event 10th Gabriel "Flash" Elorde Annual Memorial Awards-Banquet of Champions. During the event he even stood up and gave envelop to wheelchair bound Zeta Celestino Oliveros Gorres or Z "The Dream" Gorres. A humble act for a sports icon and hero like him.

Pacquiao pays it forward

By By Izah Morales, Yahoo! Southeast Asia Friday March 26, 2010 06:44 pm PHT

Everyone looks up to him as their hero, their own personal idol. Everyone wants to have their photo taken with him. He was feted like a rock star at the 10th Gabriel "Flash" Elorde Annual Memorial Awards-Banquet of Champions.

But in spite of being surrounded by fans, Manny Pacquiao stood up from his table and approached Zeta Celestino Oliveros Gorres or Z "The Dream" Gorres, who collapsed after his victory against Colombian Luis Melendez in November 2009.

Pacquiao chatted with the wheelchair-bound Gorres for a few minutes before handing him an envelope and quietly returned to his table to continue signing autographs for fans who lined up to get some one-on-one time with this living legend.

"Masaya ako at nakabalik na si Z-Gorres dito sa Pilipinas. Naniniwala ako na ang Pilipinong boksingero ay matibay, malakas at matatag, [I'm happy that Z Gorres is back here in the Philippines. I have faith that Filipino boxers are strong.]" said Pacquiao, who was awarded as Boxer of the Decade on March 25, 2010, incidentally the 25th death anniversary of Hall of Famer Gabriel "Flash" Elorde.

In his thanksgiving speech Pacquiao said, "We all desire to have a sense of meaning, a sense of purpose, a sense of contribution. We all desire to leave a legacy."

"Isang napakalaking karangalan ang iginawad nyo sa akin ngayong gabi. Ito'y hindi ko makakalimutan habang ako'y nabubuhay, [You have bestowed a great honor upon me tonight. Something I will never forget for as long as I live.]," he added.

Pacquiao told Yahoo! Southeast Asia that he wanted to pay it forward through supporting Filipino boxers.

"May mga boksingero akong hawak ngayon. Tinutulungan ko sila sa promotional company ko, ‘yung MP promotions. Tinutulungan natin silang lumaban sa abroad, sa Amerika, [I'm helping young boxers through my promotional company called MP promotions, which paves the way for them to fight outside the Philippines.]" said Pacquiao.

Pacquiao recognized other boxers' effort who brought honor to the country.

"Sa bawat laban ko, ang aking hangad ay makapagbigay ng karangalan sa ating bansa. Hindi lamang ako kung, hindi lahat ng boksingero ngayon dito ay nakapagbigay ng karangalan, [In every fight, I strive to bring honor to the country. All the boxers present here this evening have given honor to the country.]" said Pacquiao.

Regaining my Post in Blog Ranking with sideline politicking opinion

My blog a year ago has been consistently on the 38th spot in philippine ranking. With my lesser blogging activities keeps my ranking lowering down to 150 up which is quite away from my previous ranking. During the past days i decided to regain my old ranking if not at least near to it. I`l be posting with general interest which will the traffic to my site.

Back to politics..When the recent admission old a high religious leader regarding the diversion of C5 extention project. We could feel the Greed for money penetrated even the most respected religious leader and groups. We could tell interest for more wealth and power. The struggle for vanity and fame. Plitic patronage and corruption. We could not deny that in this world, money = power and little we would know if you were rich you can enjoy it once in your lifetime. Human nature of insatisfaction always prevail thats why there is corruption specially in our government. Its a human nature of not getting sattisfied although you have it all. Funny to think that most criminal commit crime just to feed themselves and survive while the well off out there wants to get some more ,not more but billion of pesos. A rich religious leader should spent it wise. Imagine how many poor people would benifit in 1.2 billion peso. If your man of God, spend it and don`t put it in investment where in the end you can not Justify in front of God when rapture comes. Using religion in politics is not new in the philippines. Even some religious sector have grip on the power by delivering solid votes, some leader was made even as presidential adviser. But nonetheless, i know we voters were more mature now. Vote what we think will be good for us because we have one more shots otherwise sa kankungan na naman tayo pupulutin pagdating sa pag unlad..

Manny Villar Website Got Hacked?

Caught my attention was tonight news in GMA7 Saksi regarding Manny Villar Site got Hacked. I made an inquiry in the site of supposedly hacked site of Manny Villar. For me, It was not hacked otherwise it will be closed forever and may never recovered it or more anti villar statements would be published. My opinion was that the site administrator relax in his job, in short "natulog sa pansitan". Parang comment sa youtube yan pag may comment only the site admin and the the one who posted could erase it. Cyberwar is here because the election is near so everyone including non partisan hacker or cyber adventurer would be waiting for right oppurtunity to shine in the cyberworld. Make fun of it. Every politician is a moving target. The easiest way fI assume to get the hacking done was to have an inside man in web server provider for domain name such as .ph .com .net etc (take the lesson of sulit.com.ph got hacked years ago) where they have an access to site password in the in every subscriber. Brute attack, trojan, snipper etc was very active these days. See my hacker tools on this site to educate yourselves.

Traffic was high for the usage as election near. Also social network site such as facebook, twitter etc were overwelmed by ghost identity to boost every candidate`s comment and fan activity.
Let get back to the topic.What the supposed hacker did was to insert "kris aquino comment" which is very easy and can stay there in the page as long as it not noted and deleted by the site admin.

Excerpts from the alledged hacked website
"Omigosh kalerky to the max. Imagine, may I gamit pa mga kids sa commercial to make sipsip to the poor. Pano naman kaming mga riichhh! Wala ba candidate na magpapakatotoo “For the rich, because I am rich!” Dapat ganun devah! Love it! So many eklat and whatnot. Why pa magpakahirap sa business kung mas mataas kita sa government di ba? Like I said to Boy regarding sa interview nila, “Taas ng TF, Amiiinin!”. Hay naku, vote for my brother Noynoy na lang, manang mana sa kanya si josh, ang cute di baah! Basta, for my hair magthank you na lang ako sa mga baklush sa pinoyhacking.com. Sila rin nagtina ng buhok ni MannyVillar ever! Greet ko na rin mga tga pinoygreyhat.org, makers ng gown ko, hay naku ang aarte nyo, pwede na kayo maging National Artist! Thanks din sa mga members ng ph****, ang official Kris Aquino fan club! Hug! Kisses!! muah muah muah! At sa mga samu’t saring pinoy hacker group, mga kumare asan na kayo!? Text text nyo naman me at makapag lamierda tayo! Love it!"

I don`t think it would post a positive to Noynoy Camp rather it would an issue against them . Most probably the "hacker daw" was just having fun.
Now, mannyvillar.com.ph was not accesible maybe they are making maintenance of it. But the supposed hack attack was discussed in another manny villar site which is http://www.mannyvillar.net/

Politics is Dirty and latest addition to its war collection (word war, character war, media war) is finnaly here. POLITICS CYBERWAR!!

Basta ako ang Sagot OPO. Vote for Gordon..Jejejeje
