Playboy Model Paula Sladewski Found Dead in a Miami

Playboy Model Paula Sladewski Found Dead in a Miami: Miami, Florida, USA — The burned woman’s body found on January 2nd night in a North Miami trash bin has been identified as 26-year old Playboy Model Paula Sladewski.

She and her 32-year old boyfriend Kevin Klym had flew into South Florida to spend New Year’s Eve at a Lady Gaga concert at Miami Beach’s posh Fontainebleau. It is reported to that they got into a fight when he wanted her leave the club and he got thrown out of the club. Later, Kevin filed a missing person’s report.

She was with her boyfriend, Kevin Klym, 34. The two got into a fight at the club, according to a missing person’s report he filed. Klym told authorities he wanted to leave because she was “too drunk.” She yelled at him and bouncers threw him out of the club.

He took a taxi to their Miami Beach hotel, and told police it was the last time he had seen her.

Klym called hospitals and police stations, but couldn’t find his girlfriend. He told police that she was last seen wearing a short blue dress and black six-inch heels.

That same Sunday, a few hours before the missing person’s report was made, a man spotted a fire from a Dumpster in the 1400 block of Northeast 130th Street in North Miami. The body was “burned beyond recognition,” said Lt. Neal Cuevas, a North Miami police spokesman. Nothing else was found in the trash bin.

Fidel Castro Dead

Fidel Castro Dead: On July 27, 2006, Fidel Castro nearly died during emergency intestinal surgery to stem internal bleeding caused by chronic diverticulitis. Since then, Cuba-watchers and obituary writers have been on high alert awaiting his demise.
Fidel Castro DeadYet, more than three years later, Castro soldiers on, approaching his mortal end with the same zeal he lavished on his life. The 83-year-old appears to have adjusted to his medically mandated retirement, enduring various surgeries and their attendant complications. A state-of-the art convalescent suite has been installed in his principal residence, Punto Cero, where he is surrounded by family and Cuba’s finest doctors. On his good days, he entertains well-wishers — among them, Harry Belafonte and Oliver Stone. And he continues to intervene in the thorny politics of Cuba.

In 2007, while still hospitalised, Castro began a transition from being Cuba’s commander in chief to its pundit in chief, penning columns he calls ‘Reflections’ in the state-run newspaper, Granma. Late last year, he offered some personal introspection. “I have had the rare privilege of observing events for a very long time,” he wrote. He then acknowledged the gravity of his illness. “I do not expect I shall enjoy such a privilege four years from now — when President [Barack] Obama’s first term has concluded.”

But until Castro is in the grave, we will be hearing from him. While his brother Raul and the Cuban army are running the day-to-day affairs of the country, Castro retains and exercises veto power. And Cubans continue to feel the strongman’s sting.

In March, more than a dozen of the most senior members of the Cuban regime were purged from the government. While Raul Castro had initiated the internal coup, Fidel was quick to weigh in and assail its casualties, all former members of his inner circle. The men had succumbed to “the honey of power,” he wrote in his column.

Castro’s reluctant leave-taking — with its periodic near-finales — fits into a long tradition of Hispanic caudillos or dictators. Consider, for example, the life — and death — of Francisco Franco, Spain’s dictator of almost 40 years. Both Castro’s father and Franco hailed from the rugged northern countryside of Spain, a region renowned for its fierce and stubborn citizenry. And notwithstanding divergent political ideologies — Franco was a zealous anti-communist — the two men had a good deal in common. Both were willing to forge unpalatable and unpopular alliances with totalitarian states to shore up their power — Franco with Nazi Germany and Castro with the Soviet Union.

And Franco’s shrouded last days neatly foreshadowed Castro’s. Franco became grievously ill in 1974 and was forced to turn over his rule — “temporarily,” he insisted — to Prince Juan Carlos. Castro also initially ceded control to his brother only “temporarily”. Like Castro, Franco had an unexpected recovery, although his lasted only a year before he died at 82.

Although it is generally believed that Franco died days earlier, his death was announced on November 20, 1975, the same day on which Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, the founder of Franco’s fascist Falange party, died 40 years earlier.

Some people assert doctors kept Franco alive under orders from the dictator that he would live until the ordained date.

Castro’s untidy leaving has kept the news media in an indefinite state of high alert, as they formulate and reformulate coverage and obituaries. The veteran Spanish Civil War reporter Martha Gellhorn found herself in a similar pickle three decades ago. In 1975, she accepted an assignment from New York magazine to write about post-Franco Spain. “This thrills me, the sort of journalism I love,” she wrote her son. “I am waiting for the old swine to die; but obviously he is being kept breathing [no more] while the right tightens its hold on the country.”

When I asked Castro in a 1994 interview when he would retire, he snapped: “My vocation is the revolution. I am a revolutionary, and revolutionaries do not retire.”

Pan American World Airways

latest news about, Pan American World Airways: I first flew for Pan Am in December 1964 when I came to Brazil as a Peace Corps volunteer. The plane left JFK. It was a Boeing 707. It was the Starship Enterprise for me. We landed in Trinidad .. then flights could not fly nonstop from New York to Rio de Janeiro. It is better then!
This was only my fourth flight in a jet plane. The first one took me by Sacramento, California to Phoenix, AZ and Peace Corps training at the University of Arizona, Temple (American Airlines). The second round in Sacramento, CA and San Francisco third-country Cross to JFK (I think it was also AA). Crossing the U.S. coast to coast in 1964 at the age of 22 years, in a jet or any aircraft, was like going to the moon for any young person at the time.

I remember seeing snow-out Chicago …. Everything was white in eastern Wyoming, the other side of Chicago. We landed at JFK in the dark. Amazing.

PCV All of our group who made the cuts were taken from all corners of the U.S. to meet at JFK, 6 December 1964. The New York lost. We get together and flew to Rio, 7 DECEMBER 1964-90 (32C) heat Galeão Airport.

My next flight of Pan Am, as I recall, was in Tehran to Istanbul in October 1973, returning to the U.S. Vietnam. I remember looking right into the bush. Ararat … not see the arch of Noah.

Next flew from Lisbon to JFK. One of the flight attendants on the flight from Istanbul to Tehran that three weeks before this flight. Lifestyle Groupie at 30,000 feet.

Later, when Pan Am was authorized to fly the country, flew from Oklahoma City through Tulsa to New York … 727 …. Maybe 10 people on the plane. This was around 1982.

The last Pan Am flight was from New York to Miami. The flight continued to Brazil. Probably 1983 or 84.

In my life, passed from the mother of all airlines to a disaster. He died. As it should be.

But it was an important part of my life as I “went global”. When he saw a Pan Am plane landing at an airport in the distance, was a bit of Americana … the Empire had long arms.

Exile on Main Street

Latest news Upated, Exile on Main Street: Phish will cover the Rolling Stones’ famed 1972 release Exile On Main Street this evening as party of its Halloween tradition of covering another artist’s album in its entirety. The band broke the news by handing out a series of “Phishbill” programs to fans as they entered the venue area of the band’s Festival 8 site Saturday afternoon.

Sharon Jones, the lead singer of the Dap-Kings, will sing backup with the group. In addition, Dave Guy (trumpet), David Smith (trombone), Tony Jarvis (sax guitar) and Saundra Williams (vocals) will support the group during its set.

Phish fans should be familiar with the Stones’ double LP, as the band has covered the album’s ninth track, “Loving Cup,” since the 1990s. The Phishbill comes complete with an essay on Exile on Main Street written by rock scribe David Fricke, fake advertisements for David Bowie with UB40 shows at Miami, Fl’s American Airlines Arena from December 28-31

(where Phish is rumored to play this New Year’s Eve) and Time Turns Elastic Sweatpants, and humorous band bios (and who doesn’t love the sweet vocals on Page “Mc” Connell). In an elaborate Who’s Who in the Crew section, the band also jokes that Tour Manager Richard Glasgow “currently owns stock in Ticketmaster, TicketsNow, eBay, Stubhub, MusicToday and Craigslist” (no wonder Phish tickets sell out so quickly).
