Men fall to Mars HillSeptember 30, 2009
Mars Hill defeats Brevard 3-0
BREVARD, N.C. – The Tornados could not find the back of the net Wednesday as Mars Hill went on to defeat the Tornados 3-0 at home.
Mars Hill improved to 3-5-2 and 2-1-1 in the SAC, while the Tornados dropped to 1-9 and 0-4 in the SAC.
Mars Hill began scoring early when Rury Caulfield scored from 25 yards out six minutes into the game off of a pass from Simon Marriot.
Jack Shaw saved the remainder of the Lions nine shots in the first half keeping Mars Hill at bay and the Tornados deficit to one going into the half.
The Lions' did not score their second goal until later in the second half when Giovanni Malnati crossed a shot into the right corner of the net from 20 yards out. Their third and final goal came with three minutes remaining in the game to seal their victory. After a Shaw save, Friddy Hoegenner gathered the rebound and shot the ball into the open corner of the net.
Shaw finished the day with nine saves, while the Lions' keeper, Alex Huckabee recorded four saves.
The Tornados take a break from conference play on Saturday when North Georgia travels to Brevard for a 4 p.m. match.

As a teenager, I lived in breathless anticipation or sickening dread of the inevitable drama with a capital D that Monday mornings brought with them. Who had hooked up with whom that weekend (and where and when)? So-and-so called someone a nasty name. Did you hear Sally broke up with her boyfriend … or did her boyfriend break up with her? At an all-girls prep school, drama was the default setting. Now that I'm a young-adult author, drama is my literary milieu; it provides the conflict that makes a plot. But that doesn't mean I want it in my real life.
You expect drama from teenage girls. They're all self-consciousness and hormones and disdain. But why does it seem some adults never made it out of that overwrought stage of life? There's the colleague who sends interoffice memos about a shortage of English breakfast tea bags in the break room; a friend who must be talked down from the ledge every time a relationship, no matter how brief or insignificant, ends; a relative who reads your delayed acceptance of his Facebook friend request as a line in the sand. Why are some people addicted to drama?
Read Do You Want a Kiss at the End of a First Date?
Exciting or Exasperating?
There are certainly times when drama is sincere or even justified. Events are devastating, lives are changed, circumstances overwhelm. Sometimes drama is even pleasurable. Clinical psychologist Dr. Elaine Ducharme offers our media culture, which—no shocker here—thrives on drama, as an example. "Drama creates publicity," she says, pointing to the precipitous ups and downs splashed across celebrity magazines and reality shows. "A little bit of drama," she says, "can be fun." It can shake you up and cause you to look at things in a different light. Drama becomes harmful, however, when it becomes uncomfortable, often for everyone but the instigator.
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines "dramatic" behavior as "intending or intended to create an effect." Therein lies the reason dramatic people tend to grate on our nerves: consciously or not, drama queens are angling for a response. When someone uses excessive emotionality as a way to garner attention, the people around her, while perhaps initially sympathetic, often ultimately feel manipulated.

The share market has crept to a new six year high after investors put aside geopolitical concerns arising from the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 and focused on company earnings reports in the United States.
Lonsec senior client adviser Michael Heffernan said the loss of almost 300 lives was tragic, but as far as the market was concerned, events such as this tended to have a short-term effect.
"The more important thing as far as the market is concerned is what's going on with reporting season (company earnings reports in the United States), inflation, growth and interest rates," Mr Heffernan said.
Most recent earnings reports from US companies had been positive, and, overall, had been better than expected.
"We've had the rub-off effects here," he said.
The S&P/ASX200 index and the All Ordinaries posted small gains, edging them to their highest levels since June 2008, a record the market has achieved several times in recent months.
Mr Heffernan said the market was consolidating above the 5,500-point mark ahead of the start of the Australian company reporting season in two weeks.
In the resources sector, lower iron ore prices weighed on the big miners. BHP Billiton fell 17 cents to $38.22, Rio Tinto reversed 59 cents to $63.70 and Fortescue Metals eased two cents to $4.57.
Steel and mining group Arrium backtracked 2.5 cents to 75.5 cents after it accepted discounted prices on its iron ore shipments due to additional supply and tightening credit growth in China.
Boart Longyear jumped 1.8 cents to 10.5 cents despite ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgrading the mining company's credit rating, citing ongoing poor performance.
Caltex Australia strengthened 94 cents to $24.00 after reporting improved refinery sales for the year to June.
The big banks were mixed. Commonwealth Bank rose nine cents to $81.36, Westpac was steady at $33.90, ANZ sagged three cents at $33.39, and National Australia Bank lifted seven cents to $34.25.
Fairfax Media gained 1.5 cents to 92.5 cents, following reports that billionaire Gina Rinehart is considering launching a takeover bid for the company.
* The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index added 8.2 points, or 0.15 per cent, to 5,539.9 points.
* The broader All Ordinaries index gained 9.5 points, or 0.17 per cent, to 5,528.7 points.
* The September share price index futures contract was 15 points higher at 5,500 points, with 15,673 contracts traded.
* The price of gold in Sydney at 1700 AEST was $US1,313.70 per fine ounce, up 70 US cents on Friday's price of $US1,313.00.
* National turnover was 1.6 billion securities worth $2.65 billion.

Event Details
Ever wonder how the church should go about reaching the unchurched? Do you find yourself dreaming about a new vision for the church in light of our current reality, in which only 40% of Americans find any relevance in church and even fewer participate? You're not alone!
On Saturday, June 1st, join others from around Chicagoland to discuss and explore the what and why of missional communities. Not only will you get to hear about how missional communities can be an important vehicle for the gospel, but you'll also get a taste of the Forge Chicago Residency. Our residents are gathering for their 4th collaborative training that weekend and by joining us, you'll get to participate in a portion of their training and get a glimpse into the kind of equipping provided by this 9 month experience.
So invite friends and team members to join you for a morning of inspiring teaching, story telling and practical suggestions for missional communities! Also, make sure to stay for lunch to have a chance to talk with others wrestling through how to live this out.
8:30-9 am Registration & Light Refreshments

Almost every magazine or newspaper I pick up seems to have an article about e-readers, often combined with the author's viewpoint that books are going away, print will be obsolete.
Some studies show that reading overall is on the rise, be it on e-readers or traditional books. Some believe that the ease of sharing reviews about books is contributing to the increase.
Technology is allowing the casual reader to share the joy of reading, the discovery of a new author or an overlooked author. Previously major newspapers had separate book review sections; few of those still exist. Instead readers, rather than professional book reviewers, post their reviews on Amazon, bookstore websites, Twitter, Facebook, LibraryThing and Goodreads websites, and within library catalogs. Some sites provide for a rating system, usually a number of stars.
Then the dialogue begins! Other readers chime in, some, of course in agreement, others in strong disagreement. Some readers wonder if such comments are really reviews, but others say "who cares". I'm in the group of "who cares". I like to know the opinion of other readers; it often helps me decide to read or not read a particular book.
Book reviews may be added online to our catalog. Click on the "add a review" icon and share your opinion with others. As more readers contribute through public libraries with the same library catalog system, the number of titles with patron comments will grow.
Come visit, get a book, share your opinion.

The reunion was the catalyst for the Hockey Alumni chapter becoming an active part of the UAF Alumni Association. The chapter actively supports the UAF hockey program and holds several social and fundraising events each year. Don served as the group's first president helping to establish the group's identity and mission. Scott is the current president and is continuing the vision of re-connecting former Nanook hockey players with their alma mater.

Mark Twain once said, "Familiarity breeds contempt." While Twain's words may ring true in some instances, it is certainly not the case when it comes to the relationship between the personnel at Hunter Douglas Hospitality and designer Stacy Garcia. These two parties, who have collaborated in the past on five other lines, now bring Latitude to the marketplace—a line that features distinct themes with economy in mind.
"We have worked with Stacy for a number of years, and appreciate her design approach and understanding of our markets," says Jocelyn Messer, associate design manager for Hunter Douglas. "Stacy is a high-end designer with the ability to formulate products for any market."

I did quite a bit of study on City Point. Montgomery Meigs was the QM General, Ingals was the AoP QM chief.

The Union Supply system was that good. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> At Petersburg, if I was a regimental QM, I could request a set of shoes size 16EE. The request would flow up the chain of command (QM side) through the AoP to Ingals office, as the now Chief of QM for the Armies Operating around Richmond (or whatever title he had). His department was operating out of the Epp plantation house overlooking the City Point Warfs. If the clothing warehouses did not have the set of shoes, the request was passed to Meigs HQ in DC, where the request would be sent to the depot for clothing (lets say Boston for instance) if Boston Depot did not have the 16EE, they would contact the manufacturer and several sets of 16EE shoes were made, sent to Boston, forward an intermediate depot if one was assigned for low priority routine deliveries or possibly put on a ship right to City Point if the request was given a higher priority. Remember City Point was, during the seige, the busiest port in the world. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Conferderate Soldiers who for months smelled fresh bread being delivered to Union troops at Petersburg were in awe when they were proceessed through City Point as prisoners. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Again that is Lee not truly understanding what he was up against.

The wagon train that Stuart captured had 250 brand new wagons with brand new bits, straps, harnesses, theat stuff was being crated at record pace. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> As Lee was running out of serviceable horses, Meade had more than he could use. Hunt was able to create a secret wagon train filled with ammunition for a big fight. The corperate Union Army, that was prosecuting the war strategically was light years ahead of the CSA.

We usually get one around Sep/Oct, don't we? Or was the Dublin card instead of that this year? Looking at UFC's schedule there's a Fight Pass card down for Oct 4th and the country/city/venue is TBA.
I couldn't make it to Dublin (gutted) but I was hoping we'd get the usual Sep/Oct show. Not looking like it at the minute though anyone got any info?
I'd be all over something like Manuwa vs Shogun over here.

Defense Against the Dark Arts
Sponsored by Proofpoint
The recent arrest of the Blackhole kit developer Paunch suggested to less-informed observers the potential for a significant reduction in targeted malware attacks.
Unfortunately, fame does not equate to efficacy -- and the void left by Blackhole's absence is being rapidly filled by potentially even more effective and stealthy exploit kits. Register for "Defense Against the Dark Arts" to learn about:
- The previous use and history of Blackhole and its creator Paunch
- Changes in the threat landscape after Blackhole efficacy ceased
- Alternative exploit kits being used by attackers
- Observations on the unique characteristics of these alternative exploit kits
Join us for a discussion led by an industry expert; Wayne Huang, co-founder and CTO of Armorize & VP Engineering at Proofpoint as he discusses this evolution in kits and some of his recent observations of such malware usage in the wild. Register Now.

If your bumper is cracked, replace it now before you break a driver.
The bumper is what stops the piston once it has fired and traveled down to the bottom of the cylinder. It protects the piston/driver so that it does not contact the metal body of the nailer. Bumpers deteriorate over time, and if the wrong pneumatic lubricant is used. Be sure to keep the nailer clean and check the bumper to confirm it hasn't chipped or broken apart, as it can damage other components.

I wonder if as part of the deal People had to agree to give some money to Ashlee for her wedding photos because that was going to be a tough seller.

Atlanta, Ga. - Led by Corey Meyer's strong weekend, the Tornados cycling team opened up the 2011 spring road season at Georgia Tech, taking on riders from more than 19 different institutions throughout the two day event.
The Brevard Men's A Team took fifth place in the opening event of the weekend, the Team Time Trial, finishing with a time of 27:23:27 as they took on national powerhouse Lees-McRae, as well as Florida and Cumberland. The Men's B Team finished their run in 28:01:93 to finish second in their heat as the Tornados got off to a strong weekend.
In the road race on Saturday, Meyer narrowly missed out on a top ten finish, coming in 11th in the field in the Men's A bracket. Joining Meyer in the top 15 was Michael Palevo as he finished 13th overall in the event. Marshal Hartley joined the duo with a 27th place finish, while two BC riders were unable to finish the course.
Caleb Welborn led the way for Brevard in the Men's B division, finishing on the podium in third place overall behind riders from Lees-McRae and Mars Hill. Keith Marek added a 13th place result, while Brandon Milet also was in the top 20, coming in 18th.
Sunday's road race saw improvement all across the board as three Tornados finished in the top 11 overall in the Men's A Group. Meyer narrowly missed on the podium finish, coming sixth overall, while Palevo finished eighth overall after recording a DNF on the first day. Scott Hoffner rounded out the top finishers, coming in 11th, while Bryan Underwood and Hartley also placed well in the event.
Welborn was back on the podium on Sunday, finishing fourth overall and Milet joined him in the top 10, coming in ninth in the Men's B Group. Marek added a 12th place finish as the Tornados closed out their opening weekend of the road race season.
Brevard continues their spring schedule on March 26-27 as they travel down to Clemson, S.C. to take part in an event hosted by Clemson University.

Maybe 'cause the right command is startx and not xstart?
To start a command shell in fluxbox click the right button and search around the menu there is a xterm... yeah is that
I've got a problem (to be honest, two problems, but I hope to suceed in config Lilo just web-browsing for infos)
I've installed backtrack on my laptop, besides WinXp
It boots up correctly, then open up the login screen, the, if I choose "xstart", it opens up the frame "loading components, peripherals" and so on, it stays for minutes on "loading the desktop" and then goes black, with just the mouse arrow.
no matter how many time I wait, no matter how many time I press Ctrl+Alt+Plus..
So , I dunno how to use my backtrack
I tried with Fluxbox, but i'm not even able to open a stupid shell command
so I'm stucked, cos I cannot edit my lilo.conf, and cannot boot into win...
please help!
Notice: with the LiveCD, xstart works greatly!
just after installation is making troubles; already tried to re-install, no effort...
Maybe 'cause the right command is startx and not xstart?
To start a command shell in fluxbox click the right button and search around the menu there is a xterm... yeah is that
Also before you do startx you should try the command xconf. And further more you do not need either of those window managers to edit your lilo.conf. the prompt where you type startx IS A SHELL.
bt~#nano /etc/lilo.conf
enter that and PRESTO!
Yeah, I meant startx of course; if I typed xstart I would have obtained just a bad command!
was just very tired when typed this topic!
btw, as purehate suggest, I resolved launching nano by the first prompt! and I resolved by myself, before reading purehate's post!
btw, the monitor issue remains
I already tried xconf before typing startx, but always the same story...
thanks for your replies!

LISTEN: Josh Thompson returns with new single
Listen to Josh Thompson on iHeartRadio
Josh Thompson admits he's "very excited" to have a new single out. "Cold Beer With Your Name On It" is the lead-off release from the country singer's sophomore album.
Josh describes his upcoming studio effort as "a tempo record," calling it "one of those albums that you can get a speeding ticket to." He adds that it's "definitely something to party to."
Thompson admits it's been a while since he's had new music for his fans, and he appreciates how they've stuck with him over the past couple of years.
But Josh says his followers "don't care" if he has radio hits, explaining that they "just want to show up and have a good time" at his shows. The singer adds that it's why he's spent much of the last two years on the road.
Thompson is currently touring with Justin Moore. He and Randy Houser are the openers on Justin's "Off The Beaten Path" trek.

We have 35 board-certified anesthesiologists with special training in pediatric anesthesiology. Most are multiple-board certified in areas such as pediatric medicine, critical care and pain management.
Anesthesiologists keep patients comfortable and safe during surgery and complex non-surgical procedures using a range of specialized medicines and equipment.
A day in the life of a Children's Hospital anesthesiologist can look very different from one day to the next. One day, he or she may spend 15 hours helping one patient safely through a complex operation. The next day the same doctor might care for 20 patients undergoing short procedures.
Children have different health care needs than adults. To ensure your child's safety, it's important his or her anesthesiologist has experience sedating children. Sedatives are powerful medicines, and having a specialized, trained anesthesiologist at the bedside makes it safer for your child.
Our pediatric anesthesiologists will sedate up to 1,400 children a year. To maintain performance at the highest level, it's important for a pediatric anesthesiologist to have experience in a setting like Children's that provides state-of-the-art care to a range of pediatric patients.

can't get bullets to appear on this list.. they only appear if I hide reset..(always have this problem with lists with resets... )
would appreciate help/suggestions.. thank you..
Just change your reset or override it with something like ul.class li {}.
Forinstance I always go with whatever is used most in whatever site. My site I'm working in now has more lists with no bullets and no margins/padding. So I remove both with my reset and then when I need it to have them I simple add class default to my ul.
Hi Maya,
yes, you've found one of the weak spots of resets! This is why many of us developers who DON'T use this type of reset make our own, as Eric said. We keep ours simpler and we only made those rules because we found we were repeating ourselves too much.
So your reset hasli{list-style: none;}
You addedul.inner {border:0; list-style:circle; }
Now I also remove list-style, but not from the li. I remove it from the ul. But whatever, like Eric I usually have more lists without padding and bullets than lists with them, but when I DO want bullets, I have to do this:
ul.bullets {
margin-left: 1em; /*I add in some bullet margin*/
ul.bullets li {
[b]display: list-item;[/b]
list-style-type: circle;
See, I had to explicitly add back in the display: list-item setting. This is what li's are defaulted to (before your reset). Removing list-style seems to also set li's from display: list-item to regular plain old "display: block" (since this is also their default). So you have to set the display: list-item back in.
Hello, good morning
I do margin-left:40px as I don't want that growing to the right. And default is actually list-style:disk;
Afternoon : )
And default is actually list-style:disk;
But Maya wanted circle.
I only mentioned the default display states of the li's: block, and list-item.
Oh sorry - missed that - my bad.
who decided all of a sudden that we need resets anyway? I think they're really a nuisance.. b/c now at a lot workplaces they make you use them.. funny how some bad habits spread fast... I guess this goes for development just like it goes for so many things in life...;)
thank you all for yr responses.. yes I hadn't noticed that list-style:none was set in reset for both ul and li... (at work recently I altered reset b/c of a related problem and they told me noooooooo.. don't touch the reset... stupid...)
who decided all of a sudden that we need resets anyway?
Someone who uses them I guess : )
I think they're really a nuisance..
b/c now at a lot workplaces they make you use them.. funny how some bad habits spread fast...
That sucks. : ( I would probably howl in protest if my place of employment told me what kind of code I had to write (unless, of course, they were telling me to write valid, accessible, cross-browser code, lawlz).
Resets can cause all sorts of problems and make code bigger. They are best used sparingly by the developers who find them useful. But if everyone else is writing on the same project assuming there IS a reset, then yeah, you're stuck with it.
yes I hadn't noticed that list-style:none was set in reset for both ul and li...
The simplest setup is just to remove it from the ul, because unless you're in Quirks mode, it will cascade down to the li just fine.If you're in Quirks Mode then you'd need to remove it for both... at least that's what I remember : )
My advice -- cut the unneccessary garbage that has NOTHING to do with being a "reset" out of your alleged "reset" -- that's not a reset, that's a framework.
If you are doing more than this:
/* null margins and padding to give good cross-browser baseline */
table,tr,td,th,p,img {
img,fieldset {
You're wasting your time.
It's not that resets are bad, they are really handy at getting browsers to behave consistently cross-browser. It's just the one you are using is fat bloated unnecessary rubbish.
I wouldn't vilify the resets. They are handy when used properly ( whether they seem bloated, general or trim). Yeah, there are ways to make them either more or less SPECIFIC, but you have to keep in mind what YOU, specifically, are trying to do in THAT SPECIFIC site.
*{ margin:0, padding:0; style: none;} is a reset.So is ul{margin:0; padding:0; style: none;}.
The first is really broad and somewhat redundant despite its brevity; The latter is really specific. Neither, however is technically wrong. You just have to know that you will need to style (set) everything you have reset by hand.
Anyhow, the lesson here is to remember that resets are GLOBAL! If you only wanted a specific UL touched for example, don't reset the UL tag... write a class or ID for that singular use. On the other hand if you find yourself changing the style of every UL... and feel it might be useful to start from a uniform baseline then a reset of the UL is for you.
The OP can't. It's insisted upon at $work.
Except removing padding from everything really sucks for form accessibility in some browsers, PLUS the fact that you can't then later add it back in.

Awsome... fucking awsome.. it makes me proud to be a Carlson Gracie member... Ooss
Awsome... fucking awsome.. it makes me proud to be a Carlson Gracie member... Ooss
The alarm went off at 6.30 am,i'd slept for almost 12 hours and i felt great.I switched on my phone and saw i had a message.
"Hey Purple it's Todd,if you're in LA i would recommend training with my friend Henry Akins at dyanamix martial art's on Wilshire and 7th.
Man,Wilshire again.I know who Henry is,Todd used to room with him when he was living in LA and training at Rickson's.Henry arrived at Ricksons
in like 1995 and never really left,started working on reception there and immersed himself in learning Rickson's style.I have heard many people
comment over the years that because Rickson doesn't really teach anymore there is one person who can REALLY teach you what he teaches and that is
Henry.Henry was awarded his BB in 2008 and now runs his own school.
So,i google mapped the academy and looked at the schedule.It was 3 miles from my hotel.The schedule looked good too.But something was bothering me.
Rey Diogo's was 4 miles away and he is one of the old school Carlson Team,teaching out of the same premises that Carlson taught from all those years ago
when he moved to LA.If i was going to drive 3 miles,i may as well drive 4 to train with my own family.
I looked at Reys schedule- There was a No-Gi class this morning from 10am-11.30am.OK,lets get the game face on because i'm gonna need it.
I went down to breakfast and as i considered what type of monsters i was going to come up against at Rey's i ordered an egg white omellette
and a bowl of Acai and granola.My god this City of Angels!
Awesome stuff again!!
Write a book.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
I started to think about turning up at Rey's.It was a No-Gi class so no one would know my belt.Good,i would just try and blend in quietly
and not draw attention to myself and try and just train quietly and get the measure of the academy.
As i jumped into my hire car i could feel the familar heartbeat speeding up,the clammy feeling in my palms and a slight sickness in my gut
from the knowledge i would be on the mat with a load of unknown monsters in an hour.Images of UCLA division 1 wrestlers and
UFC fighters got the better of me as i started to type Rey's zip code into the Garmin.
This was exciting,the sun was beating down,i was driving in LA for the first time,on my way to a new academy with sat-nav=Life is sweet.
I was directed onto the Interstate and was immediately reminded of the programme CHiPS from my youth.It was exactly the same,all concrete
and no tarmac like England.
My thoughts drifted to Rey's..........How many people would train on a thursday morning? Wouldn't everybody be at work?? Oh shit,everybody apart
from professional fighters.I started thinking about the belt Wilson had awarded me 3 years ago.The game had changed since i was travelling with a Brown.
The Black is pressure,everybody wants a piece of you.Everybody would tell all their friends 'i tapped a black belt'.You can't have an off day.Everyday
Wilson's decision needs defending.And Wilson's decision wouldn't just pour scorn on me and him if i let him down,it would pour scorn on Rodrigo and Junior
and the whole Carlson team.I started thinking,'but its ok because i'll be at a Carlson club' but then that horrible little fella who lives in my mind,my ego
chimed in "It'll be even worse if you get ironed out you prat,everybody will know".
Oh,so he was back was he? Mr Ego,my old adversary,the real opponent.Well i had a message for him- FUCK YOU.I'M READY!
As i turned off the interstate highway i could immediately sense i was in a more residential area.A tough area.
Not South Central but an area where if you went looking for trouble it would find you.Nice well kept houses
with small front yards but a feeling of more poverty.There was a white guy pushing a supermarket trolly full
of junk.Crackhead.As i got closer i saw Reys academy.It was like looking at a proper Carlson Gracie gym.
Bulldogs on the front and a kind of rawness,a roughness around the edge that i recognised and felt an instant affinity with.
awesome stuff simon
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
I parked the car up.It was 9.30am and the class didn't start until 10.I walked round the corner and stood outside the academy
for 10 minutes.As i stood there 2 gangsters walked past,new caps,jeans hangin off their arses.In London i wouldn't give a fuck
but here i knew they'd both be tooled up properly.I decided to go for a wonder and get some water.As i walked down the street
i began to see the area was rough n ready.I went into a small corner shop and bought a bottle of water.As i walked back down to
the academy there was still no one there.Then i remembered something Andre had said about Rey on the underground.That he runs on Rio
time and i chuckled to myself.At least it was sunny,not like waiting for Wilson in the rain at Royal Oak all those years ago.
At about 10 to 10 another guy turned up,tall athletic,6ft 2inches,94 kilos and late 30's.He greeted me and instantly thought i was Australian.
Most people in the US ask if i'm Australian for some reason.I asked if many people trained in the daytime and he replied about 12 usually,and then
added,'All big guys,all animals....' Great i thought.
So as we were talking an old korean dude turned up,looked late 50's (i later found out he was 69).Both guys were friendly,didn't ask how long
i'd been training or what belt i was.
As we talked suddenly a car bumped up the kerb and drove along the pavement and i saw driver.I recognised him immediately from pictures.
It was Rey,looking about my age,in good shape,like a guy who's been training twice a day for his whole life.Vest on,tattoo's all over him,
the famous one of the fighting cock which was apparently in honour of Carlson (cock fighting was Carlson's favourite 'sport' LOL).
He had a small Jack Russell puppy on his lap,with its paws on the steering wheel as he drove.Very funny,extremely carioca'ish.
As he got out the car he greeted his guys and then came over to me, "Hey where you from Bro?", "London" i replied.
"Man we got a guy here who talks like you" he turned to his guys and said "wheres Brett? He speaks like this guy".
Whats your name man?" "Simon" "Samuel,welcome to the academy man"............and that was it,i walked in.
Rey tied up the jack Russell so it could either chew the edge of the mat,peoples trainers or walk outside on its leash
(he left both big doors to the gym open onto the pavement).Passers by could see straight into the academy if they
looked in,and the Dog barked at any strangers walking past.
Pukka i thought,this is just how i like it.A dog on the side of the mat and a load of nutters.Just like London.

UC Bearcats 2014-15 basketball schedule
CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati men's basketball 2014-15 schedule was announced Thursday by the American Athletic Conference. It features at least 22 games on national television and potentially 19 contests against teams that advanced to postseason play last season.
The Bearcats' 31-game regular-season slate includes a potential 13 contests against teams that participated in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, including two nationally televised matchups against defending national champion UConn (Jan. 10 in Connecticut/ESPN2 and Jan. 29 in Cincinnati/ESPN2). Eighteen of UC's foes this season won at least 17 games a year ago.
"We have a great home schedule for our fans with Top-25 teams, the defending national champion and some of the best coaches in college basketball coming to Fifth Third Arena this year," UC head coach Mick Cronin said. "ESPN and CBS have featured us in a number of games and our brand of Cincinnati Basketball is as strong as ever."
Having won a share of the regular-season American Athletic Conference crown a year ago, UC looks to defend its title in the new-look league's second season. The 11-team conference sees the addition of East Carolina, Tulsa and Tulane for the 2014-15 campaign. UC will play eight of its 10 opponents twice (UCF, UConn, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, SMU, Temple and Tulane), and the other two opponents once each - one at home (USF) and one away (Tulsa).
Some television assignments and tip times on the Bearcats' schedule have not yet been determined.
Beginning with a pair of exhibition games, UC plays 10 of its first 13 games at Fifth Third Arena. The exhibition schedule includes contests against Bellarmine (Nov. 3) and Fairmont State (Nov. 8). Both games will be available on Bearcats TV.
The Bearcats tip off the regular season against St. Francis [Pa.] (Nov. 14) and take on Morehead State (Nov. 19) before beginning play in the Emerald Coast Classic with a pair of home games against Eastern Illinois (Nov. 23) and NCAA Tournament qualifier N.C. Central (Nov. 25). UC then heads to Niceville, Florida, to complete play in the tournament with matchups against Middle Tennessee (Nov. 28) and either NCAA Tournament qualifier Creighton or Ole Miss (Nov. 29).

Texas Supreme Court:
An Inventory of Supreme Court Case Files A1-A11,829 at the Texas State Archives, 1944-1966
Agency History
The Supreme Court was created in 1836 by the Constitution of the Republic of Texas (Article IV, adopted March 17, 1836) with unlimited and conclusive appellate jurisdiction. Congress established the court by an act approved December 15, 1836. This court consisted of the Chief Justice, elected jointly by both houses of Congress; and the elected judges of the district courts. The Supreme Court had jurisdiction over civil and criminal cases to hear and determine all manner of pleas, complaints, motions, causes, and controversies brought before it by any lower court, but no appeal could be determined until the lower court had made a final judgment or decree except in particular cases as provided by law. A clerk was appointed by the court. He recorded all the actions of the court and was also charged with preserving the records and transcripts of the court. Following the move to statehood, the First Legislature of the State of Texas organized a Supreme Court, Act of May 12, 1846, to consist of a chief justice and two associate justices, appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate, to six-year terms.
The terms of the court changed frequently during the 19th century. Initially, the court met annually at the seat of government. Legislation passed on January 22, 1842 established another annual term to be held at Nacogdoches, but changed that by an act passed on February 3, 1842 which directed the court to hold its annual term at Washington. Further legislation in 1845 (February 3, 1845) directed the court to hold annual terms wherever Congress convened. The Act of May 12, 1846 directed the court to meet annually in Austin. Legislation passed in 1850 (3rd Legislature, Chapter XII, November 30, 1850) amended this act and directed the court to hold three terms a year, in Austin, Tyler, and Galveston, with each term lasting about three months. The court continued to meet in this manner until 1892. Following legislation which reorganized the courts system in 1892, the Supreme Court once again met annually in Austin, which it continues to do.
The Supreme Court initially heard appeals from civil and criminal cases. The Court of Appeals was created by the Texas Constitution of 1876, Article V, Section 4, which removed all criminal jurisdiction from the Supreme Court, and transferred civil jurisdiction to the Court of Appeals in some situations. In 1879, to help relieve the backlog of pending civil cases in both of these courts, a commission of arbitration and award, known as the Commission of Appeals, was created by the 16th Legislature (Chapter 34, Special Session). Civil cases were referred to this commission with the written consent of the parties or their attorneys, and the commission's opinions, unless overturned by the superior appellate court, became the opinion of record of that court. This Commission was composed of three judges appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate. This initial commission ceased to exist in October 1885. In 1887, it was created again (Senate Bill 281, 20th Legislature, Regular Session), still with three judges, to hear cases pending in the Supreme Court. It was increased to six judges in 1891, then discontinued in 1892 upon the reorganization of the courts system with the creation of the Court of Criminal Appeals and the Courts of Civil Appeals. In 1918, due to a multi-year backlog of cases pending before the Supreme Court, another Commission of Appeals was created (Senate Bill 28, 35th Legislature, 4th Called Session). This Commission was divided into two sections--A and B, each with three judges appointed as previously. This last Commission was discontinued in 1945 and its six judges became justices on the Supreme Court, increasing the number of justices to nine (Senate Joint Resolution 81, 49th Legislature, Regular Session).
A major reorganization of the courts system was undertaken in 1891-1892. A constitutional amendment was passed in 1891, followed by legislation approved April 1892 (22nd Legislature, 1st Called Session). This removed all civil jurisdiction from the Court of Appeals, changing that body to the Court of Criminal Appeals, and created the Courts of Civil Appeals (initially three, eventually fourteen courts). The justices of all of these courts, following the expiration of their current terms, were to be elected by the voters. The mandate of the Supreme Court changed, limiting the appeals which could be sent before it. It now had appellate jurisdiction to questions of law arising in all civil cases for which the Courts of Civil Appeals had appellate but not final jurisdiction. A constitutional amendment in 1940 once again authorized direct appeals from trial courts to the Supreme Court in a limited class of cases.
As of 2008, the Supreme Court today consists of a chief justice and eight associate justices, elected to six-year overlapping terms. As the highest civil court in the state, it has final appellate jurisdiction in most civil and juvenile cases. Its caseload consists of three broad categories: determining whether to grant review of the final judgment of a court of appeals; disposition of regular causes (granting petitions for review, accepting petitions for writ of mandamus or habeas corpus, certified questions, accepted parental notification appeals, and direct appeals); and disposition of numerous motions related to petitions and regular cases. The court determines which petitions for review will be granted, usually taking only those cases that present the most significant legal issues in Texas in need of clarification.
The Supreme Court also has the authority to conduct proceedings for the removal or involuntary retirement of state judges. The court has many administrative duties as well, including the promulgation of several rules, such as the civil and appellate procedures for the Texas judicial system, and the procedural rules for the Commission on Judicial Conduct; monitoring the caseloads of the 14 courts of appeals and transferring cases between the courts to equalize their dockets; supervising State Bar operations; and promulgating the rules and regulations for the discipline, supervision, and disbarment of lawyers. The court also has supervisory and administrative control over the judicial branch.

Scope and Contents of the Records
The Texas Supreme Court has final appellate jurisdiction in most civil and juvenile cases. Records are case files of the Texas Supreme Court dating 1944-1966. Case files contain the most thorough documentation of the cases heard before the court. The files consist of applications accepted and heard by the court. Types of materials present include briefs, applications for writ of error, transcripts from lower courts, statements of fact, bonds, precepts, motions for rehearing, applications for extensions of time, certification of costs, and opinions. Some case files are individually indexed. Indexes to the case files during this period provide minimal date coverage. The case files can best be accessed through the court dockets.
A case before the Supreme Court begins as an application which lists a cause of action as to why the Court should hear the case. The most common cause of action is for a writ of error. Other causes of action include writs of mandamus, writs of habeas corpus, a certified question, and a direct appeal from a lower court when the Supreme Court has direct jurisdiction. The file dockets in the Dockets series list the cause of action for each application. Once the Court grants or accepts an application then that application becomes a case. Since 1944, all applications, regardless of their cause of action or if the Court granted the application to hear the case, have been filed together. Usually, a case file from a successful application where the case was argued before the Court will contain more material such as briefs, motions, and Court opinions than an unsuccessful application case file.
Case files were (for the time period of this series) assigned an "A" prefix from 1944 to 1966 - A1 to A11,829. Access to the cases is through their case number. If the case number is not known, alphabetical access to the parties in the cases is available using the name index at the front of the Supreme Court File dockets.
This series is part of the Texas Supreme Court records, 1840-1980, 6396.81 cubic ft. finding aid. It was removed from that finding aid due to the electronic file size limitations imposed by the online finding aid web site (TARO). If you are reading this in paper, the overall Supreme Court finding aid is found at a separate divider within the binder.

Restrictions on Access
The A Case files (except for misfiles and oversize items) are stored at the State Records Center. Records requested before 10:00 a.m. will usually be available by 4:00 p.m. the same day. Records requested after 10:00 a.m. and before 3:00 p.m will usually be available by noon the next day.
Case files may possibly contain documents sealed by the court, and therefore excepted from public disclosure under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 76A. When a researcher requests a case, the file will be reviewed by an archivist in order to remove sealed documents. The researcher will be informed that sealed documents have been removed from the file and it will then be up to the researcher to obtain permission from the Supreme Court to access the documents.
Rarely, Case files may possibly contain material not related to the case, such as attorney's notes about another case. Before a researcher is granted access to a case, an archivist will review the files and remove all such materials. The researcher will be informed if materials are removed. If the researcher wishes to access the documents, the Archives will contact the court to determine the appropriate course of action on a case-by-case basis. Because the judiciary is not covered by the Texas Public Information Act, the Archives cannot estimate how long it will take the Court to respond to a request.
Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to storage areas by staff members.
Restrictions on Use
Most records created by state agencies are not copyrighted and may be freely used in any way. State records also include materials received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the creator. The researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17 U.S.C.).
