Felix Anthony Silla (January 11, 1937 – April 16, 2021), also credited as Felix Cilla, was an Italian character actor, circus performer, voice artist and movie stuntman, best known for his career in Hollywood in TV and film.

Itt was added exclusively for the TV series, and was not in Charles Addams original comic series. The character's voice was provided by series director Nat Perrin and Anthony Magro. Silla featured in the Star Wars film Return of the Jedi as one of the hang glider Ewoks.

S. Army officer Randolph B. Marcy oversaw an expedition to find the source of the Red River. Marcy's group of seventy men traveled over unexplored parts of the vast Southern Great Plains. Observations on the trip were documented and Marcy was "to collect and report everything that may be useful or interesting." Of the Comanche lodges, he shared the following remarks: "The covering, made of buffalo hides, dressed without the hair, and cut and sewed together to fit the conical shape, is raised with a pole, spread out around the structure, and united at the edges with sharpened wood pegs, leaving sufficient space open at the bottom for a doorway, which may be closed with a blanket spread out with two small sticks, and suspended over the opening." He further added "the lower edge of the lodge is made fast to the ground with wood pins. The apex is left open, with a triangular wing or flap on each side, and the windward flap constantly stretched out by means of a pole inserted into a pocket in the end of it, which causes it to draw like a sail, and thus occasions a draught from the fire, built upon the ground in the centre of the lodge, and makes it warm and comfortable in the coldest winter weather."

Her daughter, Kate Rackleff, shared in a 1937 interview for the Indian-Pioneer Papers: “Mother did not have the opportunity to attend school and always signed her name by mark; she helped with the family’s spinning and weaving, made her own dresses and helped to dry and preserve the fruits and berries for winter use.” Neugin died in 1932.

After his show he went to Harlem to see the Will Maston Trio led by a young Sammy Davis Jr. Frank is blown away by Sammy’s talent and after the show he asks Sammy to come see his show. A week goes by. No Sammy. Sinatra goes back to Harlem to see the Will Maston Trio again and asks Sammy why he didn’t show. Sammy said he was there but they wouldn’t let him in. Frank stormed back to the theater, tore up his contract in front of them, and never performed there again. That would be a common theme during the course of their friendship and careers. When Sammy wasn’t allowed to play at the Copacabana, Frank wouldn’t play there either. When Sammy was refused a Las Vegas hotel room, Frank said, “Give him my room!” After Sammy’s car accident where he lost his eye, it was Sinatra who paid all his medical bills. After 5 decades and 40 years of performing together, a reporter once asked Frank why he was always so charitable to Sammy. Frank responded in three words, “He’s my brother.” http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691847136.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691847136.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691847136.jpg |

Supplements' claims are often based on dubious evidence for their ingredients' effects to start with. A new paper has shown that those ingredients may not even be in there. "Twenty-three of the 57 products (40%) did not contain any detectable amount of the labeled ingredient. Among the other products, the actual content ranged from 0.02% to 334% of the label’s stated quantity. Only six products (11%) contained ingredients within 10% of the stated labelled standard. Seven of the 57 products were found to contain at least one FDA-prohibited ingredient, an unapproved drug available legally only in Russia (omberacetam), three drugs formerly available in Europe (ioctodrine, oxilofrine, and deterenol), and incredibly, one drug that has never been approved in any country (1,4-dimethylamylamine)." That is simply terrifying. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691856654.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691856654.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691856654.jpg At mealtimes, the Comanche elder Niyah stressed that Comanches ate meals when they were hungry. In their old free nomadic lifestyle, the families might eat around four times in a day. Men, women, and children all ate together with the food placed on a dried rawhide in the center of the seated family. Even visitors were warmly welcomed. During the 1930's, Mrs. John Barnes, who was a white resident living near Comanche people shared the following observation of their life and food preparation: "All Indian houses had tepees near them . . . [T]he women built arbors which were made of poles and willow brush. Here the Indians lived through the summer. " Of their meals, she added "Another way the beef was prepared was to cut the fat into small pieces, mix it thoroughly with sugar and a little flour, and fry it for a short while. Lots of Indians ate kidneys raw, but when cooked they wanted them cooked well done. Most of their bread was bought bread and they used crackers as bread some. Later they made bread from wheat flour called grease bread which tasted pretty good. Steak was cut into small squares, fried, and gravy was made with this meat. Indians are fond of fruit, cookies, and candy." Impressive picture of the strong Comanche woman named Uwat, circa 1930. Photograph by the noted American photographer Edward S. Curtis.
