Buddhist Teachings | Buddhism | Buddha
With over 350 million followers, Buddhism has long held an established place among world religions. In fact, Buddhism is the fourth largest organized religion in the world. Buddhism, otherwise known as Buddha Dharma, actually spans far beyond the constraints of a simple religion and into the entire existence, philosophy and psychology of its followers.
OriginationThe Buddhist religion is said to have originated during the Fifth Century BCE on the subcontinent of India. Buddhism as we know it today focuses on the teachings of Gautama Buddha, and in the 2,500 years since his passing, Buddhism and its belief system has spread throughout the world. Buddhists today generally fall into three traditions: Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana, and the Buddhist monk organization, Sangha is among the most ancient civilizations on earth.
Belief SystemThe fundamentals of the Buddhist belief system lie in the spiritual enlightenment of followers through spiritual cultivation, religious practices, and meditation. Once the mind has been awakened, they will be a Buddha, much like the founder of the organized religion, Gautama Buddha. Through the study of his words, the practice of a virtuous, moral life, and by purifying the mind, followers can obtain bodhi, or enlightenment, which they seek.
Another, perhaps more simplified belief of Buddhists is to end the stress of existence. To do so would be to discover the truth of all things and reach a state of Nirvana. The Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path are the means by which the ignorance and suffering of existence can melt away and the individual will be shown the truth. The fundamentals of Buddhism also encourage followers to evaluate the teachings of Gautama Buddha based on personal experiences, and if those individuals feel the teachings are valid, they should apply them to any chosen aspect of their life.

There is a shortage of trained, volunteer first responders in the area. From firefighters to emergency medical technicians, Inyo County needs more able-bodied people to help out, and it needs a way to keep the ones it has.
But, as stressed by more than one local leader, "If someone calls 911, someone will answer that call – the ambulance will still arrive."
According to some fire chiefs in the county, many people are struggling just to keep their head above water financially and find it harder and harder to devote time to first-responder jobs for little to no compensation. Typical compensation for a call for a volunteer emergency medical technician is $10 to $15.
There are also more regulations and costs associated with becoming certified that are impacting volunteer numbers. "With the increasing demands of certification, sometimes it can be more of a burden than reward," Tecopa Fire Chief Paul Postle said.
But, there is a beam of light through the smoke. Olancha Fire Chief Steve Davis is working with consultants to try and secure a grant that would offer a monthly stipend and other benefits for emergency volunteers. Davis said he hopes the benefits will provide some incentives for volunteers to stay on board, but he also said "more bodies" and more people willing to volunteer would be just as good.
Davis said the lack of retention at local volunteer fire departments is not necessarily a compensation issue but also one of time.
To become a certified emergency medical technician takes hundreds of hours of training, travel time and then years on the job to become both "competent and confident," Postle said. There are also new, tougher exams for certification and mandatory annual training.
Davis and Postle said that a new computer-based national certification test is scaring off some who have completed training. Lone Pine Fire Chief Le Roy Kritz recently offered an accelerated training course and graduated 22. Postle said the 22 graduates are a testament to the excellent teachers that Davis and Kritz are.
But of those 22 graduates, only four have attempted the national test, and two have passed.
A volunteer will also have to have a day job that allows that person to leave at a moment's notice for an unknown amount of time. Postle said that employers along the U.S. 395 corridor are sympathetic, just as employers are in remote parts of the county, but there are less able-bodied employees in rural Inyo, making it harder to let an employee leave on a whim.
Davis explained there are also ever-increasing responsibilities on people with work and family commitments. "People want to serve the community but there are so many more demands."
When asked what the solution is, Postle answered with a long pause. He said his lack of words reflects the sentiment of the Inyo County emergency medical care committee. "We're not sure what to do right now."
"The ideal fix is more volunteers – we need people to show up and stay," Davis said.
Postle said the best thing that can be done now is to get the word out that volunteers are needed. And not necessarily trained EMTs, but also firefighters and others. There are currently 140 volunteers in the county.
"There's probably somewhere for everyone to volunteer," Davis said.
Davis said the problem is not unique to Inyo as it is getting harder to retain volunteers in rural areas nationwide. And in these unprecedented economic times, Davis said he has "not been able to identify" funding sources to backfill these underfunded resources. And, he said a new tax to help fund the emergency resources would probably not be very popular with voters in this poor economy.
For more information on becoming a volunteer, contact your local fire department.

Student Body:
This past quarter, I only had class on Mondays and Tuesdays at night, therefore I didn't interact with the student body much. But the campus is very diverse and there hasn't been any issues with people's preferences. Everyone is accepted.
Campus Resources:
I don't utilize the computer labs at the school because I have my own personal computer that I use at home. But I do print in the library when my printer isn't working properly. Printing is great. I haven't had any issues with printing so far. All students are given access to the wireless with your username and password. The wireless is pretty good. I don't utilize it often but the speed to pretty fair. Personal computers are available when needed.
Campus Resources:
Like stated previously, this school is on a military base. This particular campus does not have an athletic center. The library is very resourceful and the librarians are great there. The only activity I have heard of at the school so far is the Chili Cookout. I didn't attend it but I heard it was a great event.
Career Services:
I have only been at this school for a couple of months and I have not started preparing for graduation so I am not sure about the career center and job prospects.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I transferred from another university in Chicago to this school and I have been having problems with getting my financial aid packaged correctly. Because of my circumstance, the process was very difficult and many things needed to be figured out. It took about 3 months for my financial aid to finally be packaged. Besides that, everything else is great. The tuition is very affordable and the education is definitely worth the tuition paid. I only wish that I had began my college education at this school. I would have saved a lot of money and would have been finished with my degree by now.
The school I am currently attending is dedicated mostly to military personnel and their families. The campus I attend is on a military base. I love that the classes aren't too big and there are probably 20 students to a class. This is great because I like smaller classes so that I can have academic relationships with my instructors. Because the school is military friendly, the instructors understand that students personal lives are very important and that we have other responsibilities outside of school. The staff is very friendly and helpful with anything you might need assistance with.
Academic Flexibility:
Education Anywhere – When I returned to the states I had some schooling done, however it was for a business degree not a health degree, which is what I wanted. I chose National American University since they had a pharmacy tech degree available, but unfortunately it required I drive to a branch of the school on the other side of the state. However, they talked to me about all the other health degrees they had and I picked Health Information Technology that is thankfully online classes for the most part which is wonderful since I can take these classes from this school even if I move out of the state that does not have a NAU school nearby. They transferred some of my previous credits.

4. Cloud gateway appliances
Cloud gateway appliances are garnering attention as a great way to introduce cloud storage into an organization. These devices are easy to set up and relatively inexpensive, and users can start small and scale up easily.
The premise of a cloud gateway is simple: the appliance installs in a data center and acts as a bridge between on-premises storage systems and a cloud storage service. The bridge is required because public cloud storage providers rely on Internet protocols such as REST APIs over HTTP rather than conventional storage-area network (SAN) or NAS protocols. By connecting on-premises storage to the cloud via a gateway, the cloud storage service can seamlessly integrate with existing systems.
Although the adoption rate of cloud gateways is still relatively modest, a number of products have been released in the last two years and the attention they've received, along with their potential to grab market share, is what has landed them on our Hot Technologies list.
"There's a huge interest in moving data to the cloud and I don't think there's any risk tolerance for user companies to deal with cloud provider APIs," Forrester Research's Reichman said. Within the cloud storage market, there's a need for improving local performance, mitigating extra latency issues and adding security features.
"Those are some of the key attributes of cloud gateways that I think will make them big enablers for
Cloud gateways can be integrated or combined with other products, and some vendors have already set up partnerships with backup and storage virtualization vendors; for example, TwinStrata is partnering with Veeam and DataCore, while StorSimple has joined forces with Microsoft. The challenge is that many users are unaware of cloud gateways and their benefits.
"I think cloud gateways will find a home eventually as users get more comfortable with cloud storage technology. I see them getting more embedded and leveraged as cloud storage appliances," said Terri McClure, a senior analyst at Milford, Mass.-based Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).
Some industry experts expect data storage vendors will build this technology into their arrays if the concept catches on. That would make it easy for onsite storage systems to treat a cloud storage service as simply another storage tier without having to take an intermediate step.
"I think the jury is still out as to whether this should be a fully separate product and a fully separate vendor, or if what we're really talking about is a feature of other products," Forrester Research's Reichman said.
Another factor that has slowed acceptance of gateways is that the vendors offering these products are mostly startups.
"It's going to take some market education and probably some effective partnering on the part of those smaller vendors to really get their product to be considered by buyers," Reichman noted.
Taylor Higley, director of information services at the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), recently deployed TwinStrata's CloudArray cloud gateway. When asked why he chose a TwinStrata gateway, his answer was simple.
"Really, it was the ability to leverage cheap Amazon S3 storage but still have the security and reliability of Veeam's Backup & Replication system," he said. "TwinStrata was the missing piece to make it all work."

It remains a seller's market out there with fewer and fewer homes on the market. Short sales are known for taking considerably longer than traditional sales or even foreclosures, but maybe now is a good time to consider one since options are somewhat limited. Potential buyers may find it more and more time consuming to get that perfect home for their family. On the other hand, potential sellers may find themselves in a surprisingly favorable situation with multiple buyers showing interest in their property.

Lake Claire residents and parents connected to the Frazer Center packed into a city council committee meeting Wednesday morning to talk about proposed legislation that would affect the center and neighborhood.
Councilwoman Natalyn M. Archibong, whose district includes Lake Claire, introduced legislation that would limit the maximum weight of vehicles that use two Lake Claire streets to transport special needs adults to the in neighboring Druid Hills.
Residents say the MARTA buses that use the center's rear entrance off Ridgeview Road NE cause major traffic and safety issues in the neighborhood.
After hearing from a wide-ranging group of parents and residents, the committee tabled the legislation and could revisit the issue in May.
In the mean time, residents, MARTA representatives and those connected to the Frazer Center say they will continue to work on solving concerns.

Blue Raiders eye strong finish to magical season
MT battles Arkansas State for Sun Belt titleNovember 30, 2012 · @MTAthletics

· Cumulative Stats
· Box Score
Looking to cap off the week on another high note, Coach Rick Stockstill's Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders travel to Jonesboro to play Arkansas State in a winner-take-all battle for the outright championship of the Sun Belt Conference. Arkansas State is the defending SBC champion, while the Blue Raiders, who have shared two titles in the past, can win their first outright crown. Both teams are 8-3 overall and 6-1 in Sun Belt games.
The game will be played on Saturday afternoon with kickoff set for 2 pm in ASU Stadium. It will be televised on ESPN3 online and will be broadcast over the Blue Raider Network (BRN) with Chip Walters doing the play-by-play and Kelly Holcomb handling color commentary.
BRN affiliates are Nashville flagship station WNSR 560 AM, and Murfreesboro flagship stations WGNS AM 1450, and WMOT 89.5 FM.
Twitter updates may be followed @mtathletics, while live stats and web audio are available on GoBlueRaiders.com
The two teams enter the game from opposite directions. The Red Wolves of Offensive Guru Gus Malzhan were picked, along with FlU, to be the most likely to battle it out for the SBC title and the automatic bowl bid that goes with it. MT quickly rose up from the bottom of the pre-season prediction ladder.
Blue Raider quarterback and total offense leader Logan Kilgore, who did not play last year in the Red Wolves 45-19 win in Murfreesboro, is ready to play in his first championship game.
"It's big for the program, it's exciting to be able to play for the title, it's what we have worked for every week," noted the red-shirt junior quarterback. "We come in every week and say that we are one step closer to our main goal. After beating Troy, that is pretty much our last step, and now its do or die. Now, we have done what we had to do to control our own destiny. It's championship weekend all across the nation and it's fun to be a part of it."
MT has gone from a 2-10 record last year to a possible 9-3 in 2012, one of the biggest turnarounds in the nation this year. Kilgore noted that at the start of the 2012 season, the team had a ceremony and buried all aspects of last season.
"This is a whole new team this year, and we are even different from week to week," said Kilgore. "It seems like we are a different team every week with all of the injuries and everything else."
Defensive end Omar McLendon, one of only two seniors on the Blue Raider defense, is pleased with the way young players have stepped up when others have been hurt.
"It seems like we have had a defensive tackle go down every game, and guys fill in and they play. Freshmen Jerrold Frazier and J.J. Jones have both played a lot of minutes."
Opposing coaches have commented on a big intangible that has propelled the MT defense to be better than anyone expected. Mclendon called it "heart, guys fighting for each other, playing together." He gave a prime example.
Midway through the fourth quarter of the win over Troy last week, McLendon's high school teammate and best friend, linebacker Craig Allen, was injured and taken off the field. At the time, Troy was leading 21-16 and driving for another score.
McClendon told red-shirt freshman safety Kevin Byard that the team needed another interception, and a couple of plays later, Byard picked off his second pass of the game and returned it 77 yards for the winning score. Kilgore's pass to Jacob Corbaley for the 2-pt conversion sealed the final score.
Byard parlayed his second pick of the day, along with a forced fumble, a pass break-up and six tackles into Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week honors this past week.
Middle Tennessee has one of the best road records in the nation, with a 5-1 mark away from home, including key Sun Belt victories at FlU and Western Kentucky. The biggest of them all, however was the 49-28 win at Georgia Tech, who will play for the Atlantic Coast Conference title this weekend and a berth in the Orange Bowl.
All of those wins were "paybacks" for Blue Raider defeats in 2011. Home wins over North Texas and Troy were also paybacks. The only two teams on the 2012 schedule to avoid the revenge-minded Raiders are Mississippi State in Starkville and ULM in Murfreesboro.
Kilgore waived off the point spreads as meaningless. In fact, he relishes the underdog role.
"We were picked at the bottom of the league in all the preseason polls, and you see where we are now."
Overcoming injuries has also been a strong trait for this 2012 Middle Tennessee team. When senior tailback Benny Cunningham went down in the opening game, two newcomers in Jordan Parker and Drayton Calhoun stepped up to rush for 100 yards each. Three games later, Cunningham again went down for the season. Since then, Parker has closed in on the MT freshman rushing record and has nearly averaged 150 yards rushing in each of his last three games.
The offensive line has been a major factor in the success for the Blue Raider lineup this season. Anchored by center Micah James, juniors Josh Walker and Jadareius Hamlin, sophomore Isaiah Anderson and freshman Darius Johnson, the front five have used new techniques to bolster the running game.
This will be the 14th meeting between the two schools over a period of six decades. MT holds a 9-4 edge over the Red Wolves, but ASU has won the last two games. MT is 3-3 all-time in Jonesboro.
Regardless of Saturday's outcome, both teams are expected to be handed bowl invitations within the next two days.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Corsicana FFA receives awards
On Friday, Feb. 22 Dave Clemons of Corsicana FFA exhibited his steer at the San Antonio Stock Show. He place second in class 77 of AOB steers. He had the chance to go up for reserve grand champion. However, he did not receive that placing. Dave was fourth overall out of 204 steers. At that time he was presented with a $8,000 scholarship and his steer was put into the sale.
"I cannot think of a more deserving AG student than Dave. He always goes above and beyond and helps everyone out at the Corsicana FFA barn, before taking care of his own," said ag science teacher Brittany Skinner of Corsicana High School.
Corsicana FFA excels in Agriculture Mechanics competition
Three seniors from Corsicana FFA, Cristobal Arvizu, Luke Mackey and Dave Clemons, won first at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo recently with their 20-foot gooseneck trailer they built.
"These three young men have put in many hours and have learned a craft that can take them as far as they want," said ag teacher Mark Vitters. "Usually there is one student in a group who excels above the others in ability, but in this case all three are so equal in ability and work ethic it's not possible to say one shone over the others. They are three fine young men, and very hard-working."
The students are shown with a table displaying several of their prizes. They will compete later in March at the Navarro County Youth Expo, after competitions at the state shows.
Agape Sophomore keeps Navarro College's half-time beat
Robert Lane is an intentional young man. While so many of his friends went in a worldly direction, Robert has thrived in a Christian upbringing. He works tirelessly both at school and his home community of Fairfield to spread God's word and to be the best example of what's right with American teens. Robert left his former school district at the beginning of his freshman year of high school because he didn't feel there were enough opportunities for him musically. "I knew that Agape and Navarro College worked closely together, so I was interested in the school," Robert said.
When he came to Agape, he quickly became involved in their praise and worship team. Now he helps younger students become involved, but he knows that school is more than just music. He didn't alway sperform to his potential at previous schools because he felt "they were alway trying to fit me into a box." He says his experience at Agape is different because the faculty understands and celebrates different learning styles. At Agape, he now takes some honors classes as well as taking dual-credit classes at Navarro College.
Robert experience with Navarro College has been extremely rewarding. Wanting deeper music experiences, Agape's principal, Kathi McMullan, suggested that Robert meet with the director of the marching band, Lamont Goodman. Robert initially expected to speak with Mr. Goodman, but he found himself auditioning that day. The summer of Robert's sophomore year, he was invited to work out with the marching band in their preparations for last fall's football season. Robert performed so well that when another percussionist was needed for the last game of the season, Mr. Lamont met with the college's dean to make the case for Robert taking the field.
He was granted permission and played the half-time show with his fellow musicians. Robert says that he plans to continue preparing with and playing in the stands with the Navarro College Marching Band next season. He also hopes that he gets more opportunities to march on the field. "I couldn't have done any of this without the love and support of the people at Agape," he said. His time at the school has been a period of personal growth and exploration. He has become a leader within the school where his love of God can find full expression every day.

Rocket, let's start off with when and where you were born.
Memphis, Tennessee in 1941.
Did you grow up there?
Oh, yeah. I lived in the Memphis area all the way through school.
I understand you were a star football player in high school, and were offered a scholarship to Memphis State University.
That's right. I blew out my knee in my senior year, though. So they cut the scholarship in half.
Did you still go to college?
So what did you do after graduating high school?
I just went to work. I worked a bunch of places – just a bunch of different types of jobs to make money.
Wasn't your first break in the wrestling business working for Jim Holly?
Yeah, I went to work with him and won the Arkansas State Title.
Who trained you?
I had a friend who was a wrestler – Johnny Alexander. He convinced me to start working out with those guys. I spent a week getting
beat up by him and Billy Wicks. They worked me like a yard dog because they wanted to see how tough I was. It was rough, but after
awhile they loosened up on me.
You worked as Rocky Montez then, right?
Other than Montez and Rocket Monroe, did you ever work under any other names?
What exactly led to you becoming Rocket Monroe?
There was already a guy who worked with that name – Bill Fletcher. He had started working with Sputnik, but they weren't working
together anymore. I went to work in Mobile and Rocky McGuire gave me that name, and it stuck for the rest of my career.
Sputnik wasn't in Mobile at that time, though, right?
No, he was in Florida, and he called and told Rocky he wanted me to come down and start working down there with him. So I went and
we became the World Tag Team Champions down there. We were managed by Saul Weingeroff down there.
Did you like having a manager?
Not him. He thought he was better than everybody.
What was Sputnik like as a partner?
He was a great worker, and a good guy when he was sober. When he was drinking it was a different story. I got tired of being around
him because he got to where he was always drinking, so I left and went out on my own. It also made me mad that Saul would sit around
and do nothing and draw the same money I was getting for working my butt off. I had made enough of a name for myself by then that I
knew I could do it without them. It wasn't too long before I started working with Gene Dundee – he was Flash Monroe.
Right. What was it like to work with him?
Oh, man – he was great. We worked together for about eleven years and never had a problem.
You won the Gulf Coast Heavyweight Title from Mario Galento in 1968. Did you enjoy working with Mario?
Mario was a guy who was from a different world. He was good.
During that run in Gulf Coast, you had Dr. Ken Ramey as a manager. I've never heard anything negative about him. What did you
think of him?
Oh, he was a super nice guy. I was real good friends with him.
You and Flash won the Gulf Coast Tag Team Title five times around 1968 and 1969, and had a long program at that time with Ken and
Chris Lucas. Did you enjoy working with them?
Ken was a better worker than Chris, but yeah, we had a good time in the ring with them all over the territory.
You first came into Georgia in 1968 with Flash for a one-shot appearance against Roberto and Cyclone Soto. In the summer of 1970,
you came in and worked with Rip Tyler.
It was great, man – Rip was super. I trained Rip in Memphis. We'd take a mattress of the bed and put it in the carport. (Laughs)
That's what we took bumps on. I didn't work out but a few times with Rip. We wrestled one another for his first match and he
never looked back. We got to be great friends. We were real close. Rip had an outstanding career.
After that summer, I guess you headed right back to Mobile, right?
Yeah, I'd always go out for awhile then go back to Mobile.
You wanted to stay fresh.
I think that was when I came back and I was the only wrestler that was drawing. I had Ken Lucas and Arman Hussein to work with. Iâ
€™d go with one all over the territory and then the other all over the territory. Norvell Austin called wanting to come in. He had teamed
with Sputnik down in Florida and here in Georgia. And some of the TV was overlapping so the fans knew it.
They called me in the office and asked me what I thought and I told them it was a dream come true. I told them to bring him in and put
the streak back in his hair. So I got on TV and told everybody that Sputnik and I had adopted him and raised him – you talk about heat.
(Laughs) We went all over the territory building up a thing between him and Arman Hussein, then we put the two of them working single
matches together.
They packed every house we went to. Then we went back into teaming together, and for some reason – he never said nothing – he
just walked out one night. I haven't seen him since then.
I was asked to ask you about a riot that broke out in a match between you and Karl Krauser in 1970 in Mobile. Do you remember
It was his son who asked.
Oh, really? Well, I'll be doggone. I sure do remember it. It was a rough one. We had one in Mobile in the armory every time we
wrestled there – it didn't matter who was my partner. Me and Rip Tyler wrestled Bobby Fields and Joe Scarpa there one night, and
me and Rip won and we had to fight for our lives to get back to the dressing room. All these scars and knots you see on my head –
they're for real. (Laughs)
When you and Flash came back to Georgia in 1971, you worked a heel versus heel angle against the Assassins, Jody Hamilton and
Tom Renesto.
That was a dream.
I imagine you packed the houses all over the state on that run.
We sold out everywhere. We beat them probably as many times as they beat us.
Who got the fan support?
We did. I don't know if it was the masks or what, but we'd go into the same towns the next week against some clean guys, and
you'd think we were the worst guys in the world. We wrestled Jody and Tom one night in Griffin and there was this little guy sitting
there. He had one tooth in his mouth. (Laughs) He cussed me like you wouldn't believe.
Well, me and Flash beat Tom and Jody that night, and he got the police to bring him back to the dressing room. He shook my hand and
said, "Rocket, I'm so glad you beat those boys that I'll never cuss you again.� His name was Gene.
The next week we were back down in Griffin and there he was cussing me. (Laughs) I left the ring and said, "last week you told me
you'd never cuss me again.� He said, "that's right, Rocket, and I'm not.� I didn't get in the ring good and he
was cussing me again. (Laughs)
Tell me about the woman in Pensacola with the liquor bottle.
Oh, yeah. She was a big woman. She had always wanted to take a shot at me, so one night I told her to go ahead and do it. She had it
in her pocketbook, and told me she'd been wanting to hit me in the head so many times. I said, "honey, just come on over and
take you a poke.� (Laughs) And she did. (Laughs) It hurt, but it didn't bother me too long.
And I hear she went flying as a result.
Yeah, she landed a couple rows back. (Laughs)
You and Sputnik got back together and teamed here right after Ann Gunkel broke off from the NWA office.
Yeah, after Sputnik got away from Saul, we teamed up for awhile, but it was the same thing again.
Had he changed at all?
No. He was still hitting the juice – probably worse then. It didn't last very long and I went back to Mobile again. If he could've
kept the juice out of his mouth, there's no telling how far we could have gone together. When we had the World Tag Title down in
Florida, Lou Thesz and Sam Steamboat wanted to work with us. Sputnik was probably one of the best performers in and out of the ring
that there ever was, but he let the juice and his mouth ruin him. It got to where no one would book him.
And you guys won the US Tag Team Title together, and then you won it again with Bob Kelly.
That's right. Me and Kelly have been in any kind of match there is except a Scaffold Match. They was going to put us in one of them,
but I wasn't going for it because I was scared of heights. I'll tell you what – I had some of my best matches with Kelly.
We had one in Laurel, Mississippi, where the Chief of Police came in the ring to stop the match. He said it was too brutal. We was
working somewhere else one time and the police came in to stop it because we were bleeding like crazy. I told him I wasn't
stopping. (Laughs) We kept going. They were trying to hit us with their night sticks and I told them again that I wasn't stopping, and
then one of them hit me with mace. I said, "Kelly, let's stop.� (Laughs)
In 1975, you went up to work with Nick Gulas, and teamed with Randy Tyler.
Yeah, but that didn't get over too well. He asked me to come in and team with him, but it just didn't click.
You won the Mid-American Tag Team Title with him, but as the Masked Godfathers.
How long did that last?
Not very long. I couldn't stand being under a mask. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't see. It was too much like wearing a
suit. If I wear a suit, I've got to have the tie loose or I can't breathe. We worked in Mobile one time in a Loser Leaves Match, and I
lost. Well, I came back with a mask on. The first night I came in under the mask in Mobile – the first person I saw was a little seven
year old kid. He said, "Rocket Monroe, I thought you was supposed to leave town.� (Laughs)
I went back in there and told Rocky McGuire to either take the mask off me or I will. He told me that it would get over. I said, "no, it
won't – the first person I saw was a seven year old boy that told me I was supposed to have left town.� (Laughs) I said, "we
ain't fooling nobody.� (Laughs)
You made brief appearances in Georgia in 1976, and then again in 1979 and 1980. I guess you were working in Mobile throughout
the 1970's.
Yeah, I'd ease into Tennessee for short times, but I always went back to Mobile. I loved Pensacola – that's where I lived. It
was beautiful. I didn't want to burn myself out there, so I'd leave for a few months and then come back home.
I love that area.
Oh, man, I hated to leave down there. I met a girl from Atlanta while I was here, and we got married and had four kids. We've been
separated for about nine years now, but I decided to make this my home. I love it here.
When did you actually retire from the business?
I actually retired full time about seventeen years ago. I wanted to get out and get me a job and get some retirement and benefits started.
You didn't have any of that in wrestling. So I got out and went to work with the City of Riverdale as the Public Works Director. I did that
for a while and kept wrestling pretty regular – four or five nights a week. Me and the City Manager didn't hit it off too well, so I left
and went to work for the county.
When I went to work there I stopped wrestling altogether. I've been there seventeen years, and after two more I can retire. Then if I
don't want to and the Lord's willing, I won't have to do nothing. That's what I worked towards back then. I didn't
want to end up like the people who can't get out of bed or can't walk. I didn't want to get too old to get a good job and earn
some retirement, so I got out while I was still in good shape. I've got a little over two years to go and then I'll be okay.
So did you regret getting into the business?
No, I sure don't. In fact, I loved it. I met a lot of folks – a lot of great folks. I made some really good friends. The best friend I got out
of it was Bobby Simmons. I came to Georgia and met Bobby while he was a sophomore in high school, and he kind of took up with me.
He used to come to my house and spend the whole weekend, and we've been friends ever since.
I got out of the wrestling business and started umpiring baseball and softball and he got into that, too. When Bobby got out of the
business he came and did some umpiring with me. He ended up getting into the church, and I was going to another one. I wasn't
happy there so one Sunday I went to Bobby's church and have been there ever since.
I'm going to throw out ten names and I want you to tell me the first thing that you think about when you hear them.
Jim Holly.
Jim was a super man. He was the one who got me into the wrestling business. The first time I ever wrestled Jim he just about killed
me. He was a fat man and he got me in a headlock, and I had to blow bubbles in the fat just to catch my breath. (Laughs)
That's an answer I was not quite prepared for. (Laughs) Dr. Ken Ramey.
Ramey was a great guy. We got to be good friends and I hope he still thinks of me as a friend.
Nick Gulas.
I tell you what – I loved Nick. I have nothing against Nick whatsoever. He was as good as he could be to me. I heard a lot of bad stuff
about him, but he was as good as he could be. He called me one time after I retired and begged me to come up there and all I had to do
was tell him the guarantee I wanted and we would sign on it, but I had already told my wife I was finished and I didn't want to go back
on my word. I have nothing against Nick Gulas.
Buddy Fuller.
Now, he was a super guy. I'll never forget the first time somebody bodyslammed me. It was Buddy. He scared me to death
because he was so tall and I didn't think I was ever going to hit the floor. (Laughs) It was in Jackson, Mississippi.
And your eyes were probably bugging out because of your fear of heights, I imagine.
I was reaching for anything I could grab onto, but all I was getting was air. (Laughs)
Saul Weingeroff.
He was okay, but I wasn't very fond of him at all. I don't have much of anything nice to say about Saul. In his mind, he was so far
above everybody else.
Rocky McGuire.
Rocky was a nice fellow. Me and Rocky wasn't as close as I was with some other bookers and promoters, but he was a good guy.
Bob Kelly.
Super. Super wrestler. Me and him probably had a hundred thousand matches, and I don't think we ever had a bad one.
Sputnik Monroe.
When he was sober, he was like a brother to me. When he was drinking, the devil couldn't get along with him.
Do you ever speak to him anymore?
I saw him at the reunions in Mobile up until the last couple of years. Of course, he's in bad shape now and hasn't made the last
Were there any hard feelings when you guys saw each other there?
No because he was sober. There's no hard feelings between us. It just didn't work out between us.
Flash Monroe.
I loved Flash. I used to pick at him and rib him and make him mad, but he'd always come back laughing.
Bobby Simmons.
Best friend I have in the world. He's told me the number one friend he's had from the wrestling business was me, and I've
told him the same thing.
Rocket, I want to thank you for talking with me about your career.
All the pleasure has been mine.

This interview was conducted by Rich Tate in August 2003.
Maury High and I met this past March at the Gulf Coast Wrestling Reunion the night I arrived in town. He sat in the corner of a room that
belonged to he and Bobby Simmons. Throughout the night many wrestlers passed through telling stories and reacquainting themselves
with each other. However, the one man that stood out above the rest and kept my attention most of that night was Rocket. Over the
course of the past six months, he and I have become friends. His stories are endless, outrageously funny – and quite often, some are
true. He is a true gentleman, and I am honored that he took time out to speak with me about his career in one of the most legendary tag
teams to have ever worked in the southeastern United States – the Monroe Brothers.

Sheets can be made from many different fabrications. Various fibers and weaves are ultimately responsible for the particular performance characteristics of a sheet set.
Thread Count
Quality sheets are often defined by the thread count of the fabric. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality, more durable weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and aptly serve their purposes. Common thread counts range from 180 to 1,200. While important, thread count does not alone determine how a fabric performs and feels. Also consider the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Make sure you have precisely measured your mattress for its length, width and height. Most mattresses are usually made in specific standard sizes, but there is the possibility of slight variances. Deep pockets will be required for Eurotop or pillow top mattresses.

Where do I vote?
- Many states mail out sample ballots weeks before the election. It probably lists where you vote. You may have also gotten a notice from your local elections office after you registered. It may also list your polling place.
- Call your local elections office. It will be listed in the government pages of your phone book.
- Ask a neighbor. People who live in the same apartment complex, on the same street, block, etc., usually vote at the same place.
If you polling place has changed since the last general election, your elections office should have sent you a notice in the mail.
When can I vote?
- In most states, polls open between 6 and 8 in the morning and close between 6 and 9 in the evening. Once again, call your local elections office for the exact hours.
- Typically, if you are in line to vote by the time the polls close, you will be allowed to vote.
- To avoid long lines, vote between 10 am and 5 pm.
- To avoid potential traffic problems at busy polling places, consider carpooling. Take a friend to vote.
What should I bring to the polls?
- It is a good idea to bring a form of photo identification with you. Some states require photo ID. You should also bring a form of ID that shows your current address. Even in states that do not require ID, poll workers sometimes ask for it, so it's a good idea to bring your ID, anyway. If you registered by mail, you will need to produce your ID the first time you vote.
- You might also want to bring your sample ballot on which you have marked your selections, or notes on how you want to vote.
What if I'm not on the registered voter list?
When you sign in at the polling place, your name will be checked against a list of registered voters. If your name is not on the list of registered voters at that polling place, you CAN still vote.
Ask the poll worker to check again. They should be able to check a statewide list. You may be registered to vote, but at another location.
If your name is not on the list, you can still vote on a "provisional ballot." This ballot will be counted separately. After the election, officials will determine if you are eligible to vote and add your ballot to the official count.
What if I have a disability?
Federal law requires that polling places be accessible to persons with disabilities. But if you want to make sure you will be able to vote, it is best to call your local election office before election day. Inform them of your disability and that you will need an accessible polling place.
Starting in 2006, federal law will require that every polling place must provide a way for people with disabilities to vote privately and independently.
What are my rights as a voter?
- Equal treatment and opportunity to register and vote, regardless of race, religion, national origin, sex or disability.
- Privacy - only you should know how you voted.
- Having your vote accurately counted and recorded.
- If you have a disability, access to a voting device you can use, along with appropriate assistance.
- Help in voting from poll workers IF you ask for it.
- Courtesy and respect from poll workers, election officials and all others at the polling place.

The construction details of the much-debated splash pad at received a go-ahead vote from Braintree's Conservation Commission on Thursday night, but the project could be delayed by an appeal one neighbor said he would file with the state over what he argued is an invasion of vital wetlands.
Commission members voted 4-2 to approve upcoming work on the 3,500-square-foot pad at the conclusion of a brief public hearing on Thursday evening at . It is expected to cost $250,000, paid for by Capt. August Julius Petersen money not headed for a . Last month officials to go over details such as landscaping, parking and security.
A separate approval process for the proposed addition of 95 parking spaces and the construction of new walking trails will be taken up in the coming weeks.
On Thursday, commission member Gail Feldman questioned why the pad needed to be built at the edge of the park's marshland, saying that her colleagues should do more homework before voting.
"We've worked too quicky," Feldman said. "This is our waterfront and we need to take this very seriously."
Kelly Phelan, Braintree's conservation planner, said that she has spoken with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and that they considered the project redevelopment rather than new construction, allowing for a smoother process. Furthermore, she said, the DEP did not submit any comments on the town's plans, an indication of the department's approval.
"I feel protective of the river too," Phelan said.
Feldman and Watson Park neighborhood resident Andrew Buttaro argued that construction of the splash pad intrudes too much on existing vegetation, and that chemicals stored in a building on the site and a drain pipe headed toward the river could cause environmental problems.
Buttaro, in a letter to the commission, also expressed concerns about the project making flooding worse in the area and the possiblity that the pad would be approved but the parking not, or vice versa.
"We just have a little bit of the marshland left," he said. "It's going to be a zoo down there."
Buttaro said after the meeting that he plans to file an appeal with the DEP within the next 10 days. That could delay the project, depending on how quickly the bidding process goes. The DEP's turnaround on complaints is normally four to six weeks, Phelan said.
The four commission members who voted in favor of the construction plans said they were excited about adding a recreation opportunity at the park.
"I don't see any issues here," Gus Murphy said. "I think it would be good for the town."
In response to some of Buttaro's concerns, Braintree's DPW director Tom Whalen said the chemicals in the building next to the pad will secured and the pipe headed south from the area will carry only rainwater. Also, the firm tasked with design, Warner Larson Landscape Architects, said any vegetation beyond turf grass that is disturbed during construction will be replaced.

The Goblin and the Sexton
"The goblin looked as if he had sat on the same tombstone very comfortably, for two or three hundred years. He was sitting perfectly still; his tongue was put out, as if in derision; and he was grinnig at Gabriel Grub with such a grin as only a goblin could call up."
Hablot Knight Browne. Original illustration for the Household Edition of The Works of Charles Dickens, Chapman and Hall, 1873.

Footwork Tips For Senior Bowlers
As a senior player, you typically do not generate as much power and speed in your game as do young players. You must rely on dependable footwork to help keep you competitive.
If a loss in muscle flexibility due to advancing age has shortened your steps, you undoubtedly have experienced a loss in leverage and ball speed. To compensate, practice taking a longer stride, perhaps a couple of inches longer, and build momentum with each successive step.
Slightly longer steps and perhaps just a bit faster tempo, so long as you do not lose balance, will restore some loss of leverage and bowling ball speed.
Aging usually results in not bending or flexing the knees deeply enough throughout the steps to the foul line. When the knees are flexed, perhaps only one inch of flex in your stance position, and if you slightly increase flex in each successive step, the big muscles of your legs will be properly in use.
Try using more knee flex with a longer stride and you will find increased power generated from your legs.
The direction you walk is also key to retaining accuracy and in good shot making.
Walk your intended line to the foul line. Avoid drifting off of your intended walking path unknowingly.
If you walk a straight line path, it is important to place each step near the center of your body to retain good balance, especially with your sliding step.
Walk your line when shooting spares. It is surprising how many bowlers drift off of their intended walking path when adjusting to a cross lane positioning, when shooting corner pin spares. If you walk away from your intended walking line, you risk losing accuracy.
Finally, to keep flexibility in your leg muscles, use a proven series of stretching exercises recommended by either fitness professionals or by your medical doctor.
Strengthening and stretching your leg muscles will help you prepare for competition. Develop an exercise regimen prior to each competitive session on the lanes. That effort will most certainly pay dividends in your bowling scores.

Maybe the real headline should be, "Financial Times finds old way to save newspapers." It's called the lawsuit. As reported by Cityfile:
You know we're in a deep recession when even billionaire financiers can't afford to pay for subscriptions to the Financial Times. In what will go down as one of the more bizarre (and unintentionally hilarious) lawsuits we've seen in quite some time, the newspaper filed a lawsuit against Steve Schwarzman's Blackstone Group on Wednesday for sharing an FT username and password instead of setting up separate accounts for its employees. Yes, an unknown "senior employee" at the colossal private equity firm "authorized the initiation and repeated renewal of an individual, personal subscription to FT.com" and then distributed the login details to company employees so they could all join in on the fun. (The court documents list the username as "theblackstonegroup" and the password as "blackstone," although FT says it has since "disabled the credentials to mitigate damages.")
The New York Post gives us the background on why the situation is absurd on its face:
Blackstone's penny-pinching ways stand in stark contrast to the way Schwarzman lives. Two years ago, his wife threw a $3 million 60th-birthday party for the buyout king that featured 500 guests, and included a performance by Rod Stewart. A Wall Street Journal story chronicled Schwarzman's fondness for $40 crab legs and for running up weekend food bills of $3,000.
For MediaFile's part, we see another tool that U.S. newspapers can employ to enrich their depleted coffers. Newspaper publishers usually wait for one among them to step forward and take action before falling in en masse (cutting dividends, laying off workers, etc), and we wonder why the lawsuit route should be any different.

SharePoint 2013 is the latest iteration of the collaboration platform tool, and it comes revamped with new features that add social media capabilities while easing the overall user experience.
Microsoft pushed for easier integration with Exchange 2013 in its release of SharePoint 2013. The eDiscovery Center makes it easier to perform e-discovery, which is a must in today's legal climate that calls for simple data location and retrieval.
Another feature that eases integration with Exchange 2013 is the site mailbox. Site mailboxes let users have access to SharePoint documents and Exchange email with Outlook 2013.
The other major change that comes with SharePoint 2013 is in licensing. Although Microsoft left the basic licensing model alone, the company did away with license requirements for external users, as well as the FAST search feature. In turn, Microsoft created a new search feature and new requirements that can save organizations money.
We've compiled the best information from our Windows IT, Exchange and content management experts to bring you a complete introduction to SharePoint 2013. Included are expert looks at site mailbox capabilities, the SharePoint 2013 integration with Exchange, what licensing changes mean for organizations and a glossary of terms related to SharePoint 2013.
Site mailboxes
1. Using site mailboxes with SharePoint 2013
After the SharePoint 2013 and Exchange 2013 release, a new feature started to get major attention. Site mailboxes, which facilitate collaboration between SharePoint and Exchange, combine shared mailbox messaging features with SharePoint 2013 document storage capabilities. These five tips give admins the best information on how to make the most of what site mailboxes offer.
2. Licensing changes in SharePoint 2013
Microsoft made some changes to its licensing for the release of SharePoint 2013. The company left its basic licensing model alone, but the new requirements can save customers a lot of money if they make the right choice for their organization. These tips take a closer look at these licensing changes and the effects that saving money can have in other aspects of using SharePoint.
Integration with Exchange
3. SharePoint 2013 integration with Exchange
One of the best changes in SharePoint 2013 is that it allows for better integration with Exchange. Features such as Exchange 2013 site mailboxes and the eDiscovery Center help with SharePoint 2013 integration. These tips go into detail about the best ways to use these features, and offer detailed instructions for getting the most out of integrating with Exchange.
