It is hard to beat your enemy, when your enemy lives within your mind.
Fabrizio Mazzaferrata Golosita , more commonly known as Fat Brizio, was a man saturated with inner demons. The demons that he had grown to learn how to temporarily cage - with killing rage and with food. So he overly consumed in both areas.
To understand the monster, we have to understand the circumstances of the childhood. Fat Brizio had his fill of being called names, teased, and tormented. The thoughts of being a freak, turned into a robust layer of darkness. That darkness first reared its ugly head in grade school years in what can only be described as pure evil taking hold of his soul as he bludgeoned the life out of his tormentors. It was not long before the darkness had a hold so tight that it creeped inwards until Fat Brizio's entire being was immersed in it. The eating and the weight came shortly thereafter. In times when his mind was idle, there was always food. He received his early cooking knowledge from his mother. His father was a made man so there was always plenty of people, liquor, and food around. As well as there was always a reason to celebrate and eat large. However, while he was told to "mangia, mangia", he was simultaneously told that he was fat and should lose weight. Coming from family members, that played a toll on his psyche.
In later years, when he was out on his own and had made a name for himself with the families, Fat Brizio's anger and physical size grew exponentially. He was an enforcer, usually collecting street taxes, until his lifestyle turned more solitary. With great weight, came great pains. His physical pains were only outweighed by his the bitterness of dealing with people and their many forms of idiocy. Nothing carved deeper. It came to the point that hope and ambition could never provide him a savior. So The Outfit started using him in last case scenarios, for he still was the one they were guaranteed could get the job done. The weapons of choice were usually anything blunt and heavy that could be swung. Tire irons, baseball bats, rocks in a sock, hammer, pipe wrench, brick - all were used at one time or another by Fat Brizio as he became quite skilled at the art of bludgeoning.
It was February fourteenth and Fat Brizio was sitting down to eat supper. He had prepared three pounds of spaghetti with meatballs that were a half pound each, and had poured a bottle of red wine into an overly large wine glass. Not long after he started to eat, one could hear a click and a strike coming from the dark corner of the kitchen. Fabrizio did not hear a sound for he tended to focus in solely on his meals when he ate. A small glint of flame could be seen from that same dark corner then some smoke. Fat Brizio still took no notice. A tall figure dressed in black, with a grey tie, slowly creeped out from the shadows towards the table - it was The Curmudgeon. In quick but efficient movements, the Lucky was extinguished on Fat Brizio's tongue and piano wire was wrapped around his throat. It was not a quick death. Far from it, since Fat Brizio's neck was too thick. It took much effort to keep a grip on the wooden handles while pulling tighter in order to slice and choke.
As the big man struggled, The Curmudgeon had myriad thoughts flashing through his mind. Lack of unconditional love, lack of love, seeing so many people with children yet knowing he will never have any. To murder on the day of Saint Valentine must be what spurred such thoughts as these were not common during his other mobster assassinations. The Curmudgeon was shaken out of his trance by an especially bucking fat man that now necessitated his full attention. Honing in on the task at hand, The Curmudgeon gave it his all as he twisted the piano wire and pulled with Herculanean might. Fat Brizio finally stopped kicking, stopped bucking, stop breathing. The taut wire was released and the seated man collapsed forward into the platter of spaghetti and meatballs, dead. The Curmudgeon silently spoke, "Well, that's that", and playingly slapped the man on the back of the head as he moved sideways out from behind and made his way towards his egress. Before he left, he stopped and turned back towards the table. Viewing the work he had just done, taking it in, and smirking upon seeing the eyeballs bug out of dead head so much. He only lingered like a single puff of smokes lingers - then he was gone.
It has been said that when the coppers arrived and set up the crime scene to start gathering evidence and taking photographs, âdat a group of youts, dem broke in and started knicking stuffâ, as stated by a witness in the police report. This was most likely done as a means for souvenirs or to hawk on the street for money. Foreseeably, since they were items from the death of an infamous mobster. Once the coppers cleared out the public, they noticed something that was not there before. They later confirmed with the crime scene photographer after the photographs were developed that it was not there before the youngsters rushed onto the scene. Someone had drawn a broken heart and arrow on the napkin that was around the neck of Fat Brizio. Also, one of the meatballs were missing.

A gift from a close friend, made by a local smith he knows. It's a rondel dagger with a triangular section blade, made in damascened (pattern welded) steel. Here, the blade and the guard with copper inlays can be seen.

The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds was opened in 1996 to house the national collection of arms and armour. Information on the collections, events, and access.
The museum is housed in a new building designed by Derek Walker and Buro Happold and built by Sir Alfred McAlpine.
Main building
The Royal Armouries Museum itself was designed from the inside out. The redisplay of the collections in a thematic structure and the identity, size and basic story-lines of the new galleries were all created as part of Strategy 2000.
The design for the new building took those spaces, together with the study collections, conservation workshops and library as the basis of its overall layout. The ceiling heights of the new building were designed to accommodate the longest staff weapons in the collections, displayed vertically, and the principal lift to move the largest object.
In addition to the five original galleries which house 5,000 objects in the permanent displays and the more recent Peace Gallery, the museum also includes the Hall of Steel, a giant staircase whose walls are decorated with trophy displays composed of 2,500 objects reminiscent of the historical trophy displays erected by the Tower Armouries from the 17th century.
The Museum is five floors in height with four of the galleries arranged over two floors. Access to the first four floors can be gained from all the lifts. Access to the fifth floor is only possible from the designated red lift. All lifts are located in the reception area, The main entrance to the Museum is accessed from Armouries Square.

The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, is a national museum which displays the National Collection of Arms and Armour. It is part of the Royal Armouries family of museums, the other sites being the Tower of London, its traditional home, Fort Nelson, Hampshire, for the display of its National Collection of Artillery, and permanent galleries within the Frazier History Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. The Royal Armouries is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
The Royal Armouries Museum is a £42.5 million purpose built museum located in Clarence Dock that opened in 1996. Its collection was previously on display or in storage at the Tower of London where the Royal Armouries still maintains a presence and displays in the White Tower.
As at all UK National Museums, entry is free, though certain extra attractions are charged for.
Until recently the Museum used live presentations in addition to the static displays to explain the collection. Due to a reorganisation of the Museum in 2010/11, prompted by funding cuts, the interpretation department closed on 31 March 2011.

One hears much too often said by people of all other ethnic groups in the region that Peulh are "savage". The narrative says that if enraged or offended a Peul will take out his "coup-coup" or his knife and will cut you up, a finger, a hand, open your head in two. Of my experience i cannot tell the same, neither can i deny it. Be it as it is weapons are well appreciated objects and a man is suppose to carry them, as protection, as a symbol of his masculinity and fierceness. This show off was quite curious because of its spontaineity.
Got the bo when training ninjutsu. The nunchucks are perfect for relaxation and the sai just look awesome.
I'm not sure whether this is a depth-charge, a bomb, or a torpedo, but it's certainly very cleverly stowed. The naval Mil-4 variants also had weapons stored in this location.
The Mil-14 was an anti-submarine development of the Mil-8 'Hip' with a boat-like hull similar to a Sikorsky Sea King. 230 have been built, ten of which are currently in Polish Navy service.
The type has the NATO codename 'Haze-A'.
This aircraft is serial No '1001', c/n A1001.
