An attack on a computer system begins with the exploitation of one or more vulnerabilities of that system. Generally speaking, a vulnerability can be a software bug or a misconfiguration that can be exploited by the attacker to perform unauthorized actions. Exploiting a vulnerability leads to a use of the system according to a case not foreseen in its specification, implementation or configuration. This puts the system in an inconsistent state allowing the attacker to divert the use of the system in his or her own interest. The systems we use are large, interconnected, constantly evolving and, therefore, are likely to retain many vulnerabilities; their security depends on our ability to update them quickly when new threats are discovered. It is thus necessary to understand how the attacker has compromised the system: what vulnerabilities he has exploited, what actions he has conducted, where he is located in the system. It is essential to study statically the code used by the attacker. It is also important to be able to study it dynamically to be able to replay attacks on demand.Ideally, we should be ahead of the attacker and therefore imagine new ways to attack. In addition, we believe it is necessary to improve the feedback to the expert by allowing him to quickly understand the progress of an attack.
An attack is generally composed of several steps. During a first approach step the attacker enters the system, locates the target and makes itself persistent. Then, in a second step, the payload of the attack is effectively launched, leading to a violation of the security policy (attacks against confidentiality, integrity, or availability of OS, applications, services, or data).The objective of intrusion detection is to be able to detect the attacker, ideally during the first step of the attack. To do this, intrusion detection systems (IDS) are based on probes that continuously monitor the system. These probes report events to a core engine that decide whether or not to alert the expert.Intrusion detection systems are important for all systems handling sensitive data that may be accessible to a malicious agent. They are especially crucial for low-level systems that provide essential support services to other systems. They are essential in inter-connected systems that are designed to last a long time and are difficult to update.

How to Win Powerball
Tom Gerencer Jan 10, 2016
Absolutely anyone can win Powerball. The trick is to beat the odds. While nobody can guarantee a win, there actually are some statistically accurate ways to win Powerball by increasing your odds.
In this article, we cover the importance of knowing the odds, winner case studies, and some real methods of improving your chance of hitting it big. While the odds are still going to be stacked against you, any little bit will help.
How to win Powerball: First Know the Odds
The first step toward succeeding at any challenge is to know as much about the task as possible. We would never have got to the moon if we hadn't taken the time first to figure out all the difficulties posed by the trip. There's no engineering solution to winning Powerball, but it's still a good idea to learn the odds against a win.
The table below shows the odds of winning Powerball from several different jackpots at random since 2000.
Odds of Winning Powerball
Date Odds Size of Jackpot
2/28/2000 1 in 80,089,128 $150 million
10/2/2003 1 in 120,526,770 $76 million
6/9/2004 1 in 120,526,770 $48 million
1/5/2008 1 in 146,107,962 $152 million
1/11/2011 1 in 195,249,054 $51 million
7/11/2015 1 in 175,223,510 $101 million
10/19/2015 1 in 292,201,338 $100 million
1/13/2016 1 in 292,201,338 $1.3 billion

Those odds are astronomical. For comparisons, see the table at the bottom of this article. There, we explain it's actually a lot more likely to get struck by lightning or abducted by aliens than it is to win the Powerball. That said, there are ways to improve those odds, now that you know how big they are.

How to Win Powerball by Managing the Odds
Let's get this out of the way right off: This is not a scam. Right on Powerball's home page, they say in the FAQ section that there actually is a way to improve the odds. In other words, the question, "How to win at Powerball" actually does have a real answer, and it isn't just "Buy a ton of tickets" or "get a lucky rabbit's foot."
That said, the method isn't 100% effective. In fact, while it does increase the odds of winning, those odds are still very, very long.
The table below shows the method Powerball suggests:
How to Win Powerball Dual Drum Games These games pay for matching only one number from drum #2.
Drum #2 has 35 numbers. A group of 35 people that buys 35 tickets and plays a different red Powerball number is guaranteed to win at least $4.
With the above method, you can still lose $31, but... If a group plays many tickets, they cut their odds a tiny bit with each ticket they buy. Using the method above gives at LEAST an 11% discount on the tickets and lets the group buy more.
How this method helps win Powerball A Powerball jackpot in the billions, split between a thousand people is still $1 million each. Tickets bought at a discount using the drum method mean more tickets can be bought. That increases the odds of winning.
Does this method work? The drum method certainly increases the odds of winning Powerball. As proof, groups do win. See the table below for lists of groups that have won Powerball.
Also see: How to Raise $28 Million from Richard Branson
The method in the table above won't guarantee winning Powerball. It'll boost the odds of winning, but what it really does is make it cheaper to buy Powerball tickets in bulk. This method is a terrible idea for a single player. That's because a single player would have to spend too much money and would still face almost certain failure.
However, a group can use the method above to chip in and buy lots of tickets. This increases their odds of winning. While they'll also split the jackpot, 1/1000th of $1 billion is still $1 million each. As proof, look at the table below of groups who've won Powerball.
I wish people would realize ain't nobody gonna win that damn powerball, that's how they make money cause y'all go crazy buying tickets.

Groups That Have Won Powerball
To prove that the "drum" method works to improve the odds, here are twelve groups that won Powerball by pooling their resources:
Powerball Group Winners
Avondale Revocable Trust 11/4/2015 Won $144 million Powerball
Rocklin Four 3/25/2015 Won $40 million Powerball
TL Management Trust 2/11/2015 Won $127 million Powerball
FlaMass Family Lottery Joint Venture 4/23/2014 Won $148 million Powerball
Ocean's 16 8/7/2013 Won $86 million Powerball
The Williams Trust 5/25/2013 Won $10 million Powerball
The Shipping 20 6/13/2012 Won $241 million Powerball
SEPTA 48 4/25/2012 Won $173 million Powerball
Ohana Trust 3/7/2012 Won $60 million Powerball
Louise White/Sherbert Trust 2/11/2012 Won $336 million Powerball
Putnam Ave Family Trust 11/2/2011 Won $254 million Powerball
1937 Flatbush Avenue Dodgers LLC 6/1/2011 Won $202 million Powerball

Roughly 30% of all Powerball winning tickets were bought by groups. Since groups contain anywhere from four to thirty members, most Powerball winners play in groups.
It's important to realize that even playing in a group, the odds of winning Powerball are still incredibly low. They're just higher than the incredibly low odds of playing alone.
How to Win Powerball: 9 Ways
There are nine ways to win Powerball, according to the Powerball website. The odds for each method are listed below:
Way # How to Win Prize Won Odds of Winning
1 Match 5 balls plus the red powerball Grand Prize 1 in 292,201,338
2 Match 5 balls $1 million 1 in 11,688,053.52
3 Match 4 balls plus the red powerball $50,000 1 in 913,129.18
4 Match 4 balls $100 1 in 36525.17
5 Match 3 balls plus the red powerball $100 1 in 14,494.11
6 Match 3 balls $7 1 in 579.76
7 Match 2 balls plus the red powerball $7 1 in 701.33
8 Match 1 ball plus the red powerball $4 1 in 91.98
9 Match the red powerball only $4 1 in 38.32
Is Powerball a Tax on Stupidity?
Of course if you ask most people how to win Powerball, the answers are stuffed with jokes. Some say to pray, get a rabbit's foot, bribe the officials, etc. Most people who know anything about statistics will tell you none of those ways work. They'll also say Powerball is a tax on stupidity. The idea is that the odds are so high that only stupid people would play.
Certainly anyone who uses Powerball as an investment strategy needs their head examined. Since the odds are so high, there's no way to guarantee a win. Every dollar spent on a Powerball ticket is a dollar that might as well be set on fire.
But there's another way to look at Powerball. A ticket that costs $1 is better than $1 set on fire because the burned dollar is just burned. By contrast, the dollar spent on Powerball is admission fee to taking part in a national dream. At that, the going rate is cheap, whether we can figure out how to win or not.

Who operates this website and will my information be kept safe and confidential?
This website is operated by Canada's provincial associations for certifying and registering Technology Professionals. It is their on-line tool for allowing individuals from Canada and around the world to apply for certification.
Each association is required and committed to keep all information provided by applicants for certification and registered Technology Professionals private and secure.
All interactions with this web site are protected by a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, the standard for secure Internet communication.
What is the difference between certification and registration?
The certification process is the determination by a provincial association for Technology Professionals of the technical competency level of an applicant based on the required training and experience to national standards. Once the appropriate certification has been determined, the applicant can be registered by the association as a Technology Professional.
The applicant will also be required to successfully complete a professional practice and ethics examination.
How many competencies do I need to satisfy to achieve certification?
There are different guidelines depending on which program you are applying for certification in. These are explained in the self-assessment section after you have selected your program. An award of certification is based on an evaluation of an individual's claimed competencies and their combined academics and work experience. The intent of this outcomes-based approach is to allow as much flexibility as possible for the applicant and the association to which they are applying while maintaining certification standards and ultimately protecting the public interest.
ASTTBC allows online payment through PayPal, credit cards and debit cards at the time you submit your application. You may also pay using offline methods.
How long does it take to become certified?
This depends on a number of factors including how much information you provide with your initial application; and how well your education and experience match certification requirements.
Certification typically takes between 4 and 12 months, assuming your qualifications meet the requirements defined for the program you are applying for.
Do I need to complete my application form in one session?
You can return to your account to work on your application at any time until you feel it is ready to submit to ASTTBC. You will likely find that you need to do additional research as you fill out the form and we encourage you to take your time - the more complete your application form when submitted, the more straightforward your application will be to process.
What happens if the required competencies are updated before I submit my application?
You can take as long as you like to complete your application but you will be notified when 12 months has passed from when you created your account if you have not submitted your application. You will then be expected to review your self-assessment and application against the latest competencies before submitting your application to ASTTBC.
What happens if the competencies are updated after I submit my application?
Your application will still be evaluated against the competencies under which you applied, although you may be asked to provide more information if the comptencies related to your application have changed significantly.


How can I tell an acquaintance nicely that sh'e not welcome right now?
Topic: How can I tell an acquaintance nicely that sh'e not welcome right now?
Question: An old acquaintance just calls me telling me she's visiting the area and would like to see me. This is fine, but I am a dog trainer and am running a dog boarding/training business that requires 24/7 supervision in my home. The first time she called, she told me if I wanted to go shopping with her and I said I couldn't because I need to watch dogs. Now, she just wrote to me she's coming tomorrow to see me. The dogs I board and train are kept loose in my home. I have a reactive dog at this time, that gets easily stressed and for safety, she can't be around him. People often think I work at home and have time. I don't, it's work, just like people go to the office, but mine is an all day thing where I never leave the dogs alone and when I cook my hubby takes over watching them. How can I tell her nicely, look, you are welcome but only after this dog leaves and I have no other dogs coming? I already told her I was stuck with this dog all week and couldn't go out, now she thinks, ok than I go see her.... Perfecttv, it's not crazy. I need to connect with the dog, teach trust, work on stress and this is not possible in a cage. i board only one/two dog at a time to give 100% attention. People send me their dogs from out of state. Google cageless boarding, it's for reactive/stressed dogs that don't do well at the kennel or pampered pooches who want more attention than being closed in a cage all day. Sorry, Cesar is a moron. He has no education whatsoever. If you said Patricia McConnell it was a different story. Google "beyond cesar millan" and look what read dog behavior professionals think about that uneducated guy! Hmm.. so what I do is harm? Go talk to my clients who have dogs I have rehabilitated from severe aggression, stress and OCD. Hmm... I wonder why people send me clients from different states if all I do is harm? Oh right, you are Cesar Millan fan and he's the expert, that gets bit so often causes he can't read dog body language and works always over threshold! True, dogs don't need 24/7 supervision when they are IN A CAGE. Mine are in a cageless environment and I need to read them, film them, report their progress, write my analysis and case studies. But why should I need to go into all these details? You can continue doing what you did in 44 years, I will continue doing what I do since it's working for me. It's my business and I run it how I want..
Best Answers: How can I tell an acquaintance nicely that sh'e not welcome right now?
Just simply tell her what day you are available. "I would love to see you for a visit. I'm available on ......... Hope that works for you." You don't have to go into any long, drawn out explanation. You don't owe her that. You need to put your home and business first.
Originally Answered: How do you get rid of a friend (nicely)?
I think the natural drift is a good way to go, you can help it along though. Start telling her that you can't pick her up. Cut back on the rides to maybe twice a week, when she calls you're busy doing homework. See you have to create the drift this avoidance is actually a better way of moving into making your point. Because she will say you don't have any time for me any more or some sort of comment along those lines. Then you can tell her well you know we have different interest, and then go from there .This IMO is better than just coming right out and saying I don't want to be friends anymore. You don't want to burn bridges, as far as drugs go I mean look you either have the willpower not to do them or you don't. Its entirely up to you.
Connect with dogs... 24/7. Might I suggest a few courses from Cesar Millan,..you can watch him free on YouTube, oh but then you couldn't be with the dogs 24/7 and connect. Dogs do NOT need your undivided attention to "connect". You do more harm than good. Dogs now what to do, it's people that constantly screw up. I have been working with dogs (animals) for 44 years and never has any dog not even the ones that were "stressed" needed 24/7 supervision. In fact...24/7 for anyone, man or beast is NOT HEALTHY! Everyone, no matter the mental, physical, etc etc need a little me time for whatever reason, even if to just cry, or scream, or have a good scratch in peace and private. Not even a human baby needs to be monitored 24/7, if so parents would go bonkers as would the child at some point. Do you live in a one room home? Seriously you can't put the dog in another room, for an hour? Check on him/her from time to time in that hour your "acquaintance" visit? I suspect if you gave your "acquaintance" the full details as you have here it's likely she will find better company and not trouble you again. Honesty is the best policy.
LMAO... go watch videos of Cesar Millan! that's like saying go do surgery by watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy! That guy is just an actor. Even I, who has started studying dogs recently know how outdated and frowned upon are that illegal Mexican guy's methods. He has zero education. I would just tell the guest that you are busy and working on the best interest of the dog and that you'll be available after the dog leaves.
She can visit you in your home but if she wants to go out, calmly explain you cannot leave. As she leaves, "Next time give me more advance warning so I don't book a client's dogs for the week and we can spend time together." Make it sound professional "book a client's dogs".....maybe it will sink into her head.
You run a boarding business but you don't actually board them? You just let them run free? That's crazy! Let her know that you'd love to see her sometime, but this week is not enough notice as you have these issues with your business that need resolution. Thank her for thinking of you and ask if she can contact you in advance next time.
If you have your own answer to the question How can I tell an acquaintance nicely that sh'e not welcome right now?, then you can write your own version, using the form below for an extended answer.

Jan van Helmont o Jan Baptista van Helmont (nascut el 1577 a Brussel·les i batejat el 12 de gener de 1580 – 30 de desembre de 1644) va ser un científic flamenc, químic, fisiòleg i metge. Treballà durant els anys posterior a Paracels i a vegades és considerat el fundador de la química de l'aire. Van Helmont és recordat actualment per les seves idees sobre la generació espontània, el seu experiment amb un arbre de 5 anys de durada i per ser l'introductor de la paraula "gas" (derivada de la paraula grega caos) en el vocabulari científic.

Vida
Tenia cinc germans i ell era el menor, el seu pare era membre del Consell de Brussel·les. Va ser educat a la Universitat de Lovaina i viatjà per Suïssa, Itàlia, França i Anglaterra.

A la tornada obtingué, el 1609, el grau de doctor en medicina. Practicà a Anvers durant la pesta de 1605. Es va casar amb Margaret van Ranst, de família noble, i tingueren sis o set fills. Rebé l'herència de la seva dona cosa que li permeté deixar de practicar la medicina i ocupar-se en experiments científics.

Obra
Van Helmont va ser un home contradictori d'una banda químic i alquimista i de l'altre interessat per la ciència experimental. Va ser el primer a adonar-se que hi havia una diversitat de gasos, però per a ell l'aigua i l'aire eren els elements primitius.

El seu experiment més famós va ser fet per tal de determinar d'on agafaven la massa les plantes. Va fer créixer un salze, en una quantitat mesurada de terra, pesant el pes de l'arbre i l'aigua que hi afegia. Després de cinc anys la planta havia guanyat 164 lliures. Com que la quantitat de terra era bàsicament la mateixa que quan va començar l'experiment, deduí (equivocadament, perquè va considerar un error de càlcul la diferència de pes entre aigua aportada i pes de l'arbre) que el pes guanyat per l'arbre provenia de l'aigua i que totes les parts de la planta que havien crescut provenien només de l'aigua aportada.

Q: Android HttpPost cause the app to crash I'm trying to send post request to my PHP page through java in android studio
and I tried the same code in eclipse but the same problem show, the app stop working.

        try {
        List<NameValuePair> nameValuePair = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
        nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair("mail", mail));
        nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair("pass", pass));

        StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
        String line=null;

        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            sb.append(line + "\n");
        }
        txt.setText(sb.toString());
        br.close();

        }
          catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

My LogCat : https://www.dropbox.com/s/smhyoxdob66czr7/testLogCat.txt?dl=0

A: Most probably, your application is crashing due to an exception, that is android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException
This exception is thrown when you try to do lengthy time consuming tasks like network request and downloading the response on main thread, like you're doing in your onCreate(). Android doesn't like it. It keeps it frozen / un-responsive, which makes it angry and it kills your app.
The solution to use AsyncTask. The idea is to do lengthy tasks in background threads instead of main thread. Like as follow:
//this should be inside your Activity class
private class NetworkRequestTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>{

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
        // your network code here
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        // set the result to your label
    }

}

and from your onCreate() call this task as follow:
new NetworkRequestTask(). execute();

It'll make android happy and responsive. It'll let your app running and won't kill it.

Unleashing endorphins, one of the most positive effects of massage is the release of endorphins such as dospam and serotonin as well as circulation throughout the body. Inadequate and irregular supply of these substances is often associated with depression and anxiety. Improving the flow of endorphins shows the positive side of the massage and also reduces the symptoms of depression and anxiety.


It's really appropriate that I am finally getting around to doing this unit, because the very reason that I haven't done it is because "my give a damn's been busted." When you're really passionate about something, and devoting so much time to it, especially if that time is not your job but a hobby/volunteer…that can take lots of energy. And you can only expend that amount of physical and mental energy for so long, especially if you go months or years without a "win" without feeling burned out.
And your give a damn's busted. It's September and my state still does not have a budget. And you don't even want to know how many hours I've spent in 2015 lobbying for education funding. It is frustrating, for sure. I've personally be lobbying for special education funding reform for over 5 years and we still don't have it passed. I've testified before two commissions on it, been to Harrisburg several times and more phone calls and letters than I can count. And yet here we are, without a budget and decent education funding.
So how do you regroup? How do you regain your energy, passion and enthusiasm if you're feeling burned out on the issue and effort?
Take a break: Simple. Take a break. Step away. Don't watch the news, don't send emails, don't make calls. Give yourself a break. Most lobbying efforts are years in the making, it doesn't happen overnight. It's ok to step back in order to refresh.
Know that your efforts are part of a bigger picture: No politician is ever going to vote yes or no on a specific bill because of one visit from you or one phone call from you. And if you see them say that on TV, they are merely trying to make good TV. It doesn't happen that way. You, me, we are part of a larger movement. And we want that movement to grow. I know that my one phone call doesn't change things. But I hope that when I make my one phone call then either tell a friend or write about it on Facebook, that I inspire others to do the same. Our movement needs us, even if we need a break now and then.
Accept that there will lots of ups, downs and nothingness: It takes forever and a day to get legislation passed. And that time will be filled with lots of ups and downs and nothing. You'll see politicians come out for this, then line items will get tacked on and they're against it. Or it never gets voted on. Your issue may not even be a priority for this legislative session and might be fully ignored. This is not a smooth process and it's not a quick one, so we have to adjust our expectations about how quickly things will happen.
Don't take it personally: When you are so personally passionate about something and it's an issue so near and dear to your heart, it's hard not to be emotional. Be sad, be angry…but only temporarily. And turn that anger into a more positive and productive emotion. Don't take it personally. I saw a recently released Princeton study that states that our politicians are basically ignoring us. They are listening to us only 30% of the time, and listening to paid lobbyists. We knew that. Having the data in black and white stings a bit, but we knew it already. All the more reason to keep going and recruit more members in our effort.
Change your view or focus temporarily: In July and August, I took a break. Very little blog posting. No calls to action on the blog. I didn't do any lobbying myself. But, I did a few fundraisers, I helped the cause in other ways. I donated school supplies. I did a blog post on how to raise money for your school. I stayed peripherally involved in education funding without lobbying. I helped with voter registration. There are so many other things you can do.

Q: Lazy Pattern matching in Data.List What are the performance benefits of using ~ (lazy pattern matching) in Data.List's partition.  Contrived examples of lazy pattern matching suggest that it is useful when the values inside the tuple constructor are never used (f (x,y) = 1).  In partition (select, below), the lists ts, fs are always used (if the predicate p applied to x is True, or not).  I'm sure this is a very well informed decision to use ~, but what is the point?  Why not strict pattern matching?
partition               :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a],[a])
{-# INLINE partition #-}
partition p xs = foldr (select p) ([],[]) xs

select :: (a -> Bool) -> a -> ([a], [a]) -> ([a], [a])
select p x ~(ts,fs) | p x       = (x:ts,fs)
                    | otherwise = (ts, x:fs)

(Note: I've already looked here! it doesn't answer the above question)

A: The point is that with strict pattern matching, assembling of the result could only start when the end of the list to be partitioned has been reached, in particular, partition would not work at all for infinite lists.
With a strict pattern match, the argument must be evaluated to WHNF. That means the entire foldr of the tail must have finished before it is decided whether x is put in the first or the second component.
select p x (foldr (select p) ([],[]) (y:z:ws))
~> select p x (select p y (select p z (foldr (select p) ([],[]) ws)))

With a lazy pattern match, a pair is constructed immediately, with x as the first element of the appropriate component, and the rest of the two lists to be evaluated later, when needed.

Background:Ependymomas are rarely located in the pineal region. The 2016 WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system includes five ependymal tumors, the grade I subependymoma and mixopapillary ependymoma, the grade II ependymoma, the grade II–III ependymoma RELA fusion-positive, and the grade III anaplastic ependymoma. However, this grading system has been controversial with respect to its reproducibility and clinical significance and it is estimated that further studies of the molecular characteristics of ependymoma will provide more precise and objective classification. Herein, we present an unedited microneurosurgery of a gross total removed WHO grade II ependymoma.
Case Description:A patient with a histologically confirmed WHO grade II ependymoma underwent a sitting praying position and a supracerebellar infratentorial paramedian approach. Under high magnification, the pineal region was accessed over the right cerebellar hemisphere. A tight dorsal membrane of the quadrigeminal cistern was opened laterally with microscissors. Tissue samples were obtained with ring microforceps for histological study. Internal debulking of the tumor was performed with the combination of the suction tube and bipolar forceps aiming to open the posterior wall of the third ventricle. Concentric retraction of the tumor with ring forceps was associated with medial and inferior dissection of its cleavage plane with the thumb-regulated suction tube. Similarly, the lateral border of the lesion was dissected with a combination of the suction tube and bipolar forceps. Once, the tumor was detached from the surrounding tissue, soft but continuous traction with ring forceps was required to pull out this lesion in a single piece. Small remnants were removed as well and the apparent origin zone of the tumor was detached with bipolar forceps. Meticulous attention was paid for the hemostasis and few minutes were considered to observe any bleeding site. Finally, some pieces of surgicel covered small bleeding dots. The postoperative course was uneventful with only slight double vision that improved gradually. The patient did not receive radiochemotherapy and is alive and free of recurrence >10 years after surgery.
Conclusion:This unedited video offers all detailed aspects that a neurosurgeon as the senior author JH considers essential when performing an efficient and safe surgery into the pineal region for this very rarely documented pineal region ependymoma.

STATEMENT MADE: Greyhounds defeat Los Fresnos in 17-14 thriller

San Benito Greyhounds quarterback Cristian Sierra is seen during Friday night's matchup against the Los Fresnos Falcons. Also pictured is defensive lineman Chris Padilla making a key tackle that helped San Benito force a turnover on downs against the Falcons that sealed the win.
By ARMANDO GARZA
Many wondered just how the San Benito Greyhounds would fare against the district's best. Thus far, they scored two big wins and endured two double-digit losses.
But on Friday night against a tough Los Fresnos squad, the 'Hounds provided an answer loud and clear: This isn't the Greyhound team of years past.
San Benito fought hard all night long and Alejandro Lugo's 27-yard field goal proved to be the eventual game-winner as the 'Hounds held off the Falcons 17-14 in a thriller at Bobby Morrow Stadium.
With the win, the 'Hounds (3-2 overall, 2-0 District 32-6A) stay atop the league standings with Harlingen as the two square off next week in the 85th Battle of the Arroyo. Los Fresnos (3-2, 1-1), which had run wild in its three wins by way of a punishing ground game, sits a game back.
"Our defensive coaches did a helluva job all week long putting together a scheme and the kids executed it," San Benito head coach Dan Gomez said. "Our kids are resilient and we've known that all season. They'll fight to the end. We knew that if we had an opportunity at the end of the game, our chances to win would be high."
The win didn't come easy as the 'Hounds surged out to a lead and then held off an admirable Los Fresnos effort. It was a signature game for senior quarterback Cristian Sierra, who toughed out 101 yards rushing to go with 163 through the air. Wideout Victor Gaitan was his main target as he hauled in five passes for 102 of those yards.
"We've been working hard all week. We saw they (Falcons) were coming back after we let them get that first touchdown. They came back with the momentum; they're a good team. But we're a good team, also. I just talked to everybody in the locker room and told them to keep playing War Dog football and we'd win."
San Benito (3-2 overall, 2-0 District 32-6A) got on the board first, scoring on its first two drives as the offense was in total sync. Sierra captained the 'Hounds on a 75-yard drive which ended with his one-yard TD, and then Armando Medrano took a reverse and sped for a 12-yard score to put the 'Hounds up 14-0 with 2:25 left in the opening quarter.
Los Fresnos appeared ready to claw back, but a 15-play march ended with a fumble inside the San Benito 20 yard-line early in the second. Then on their next possession, the Falcons missed a field goal to stay scoreless. All night, their running game which ran wild against Lopez last week was corralled by a strong San Benito effort.
It stayed that way until just over a minute left before half as the Falcons, who'd started slow in a couple of earlier games, found their rhythm. Near midfield, an interception by San Benito's Juan Salas was wiped away by a penalty, giving the Falcons new life. Later, with seconds left before half, quarterback Pierce Ruiz heaved a pass into the end zone and found Miguel Garcia for a 35-yard touchdown with no time left on the clock to cut the deficit in half.
Late in the third, the Falcons' Robert Lopez recovered a fumble near midfield and they'd make good on the turnover with a one-yard run from Eli Cruz. Martin Ornelas hit the PAT, knotting the score at 14 with 10:52 left in the game and sending the Falcon faithful into a frenzy.
The teams traded hard hits, punches and penalties before Lugo's field goal to put the Greyhounds up by three with 2:05 to go in the game. On the drive, Sierra hit Gaitan for 29 yards, Javier Ortiz for 13 and ran for 18 more himself.
"I was real calm and focused on the drive. Just trying to help our team get down and score," Sierra said. "We really wanted to score a touchdown, but we got that field goal which ended up winning the game.
With the ball and a timeout, Los Fresnos started at its own 13 and went backward to their 8. On 4th-and-15, Ruiz found Pete Perez for a 20-yard gain and first down, but the play was negated by an illegal man downfield penalty. The do-over fell incomplete, giving the game to San Benito as penalties (12 for 104 yards total) doomed the Falcons.
"Penalties made all the difference in the world," Los Fresnos head coach Clint Finley said. "We shot ourselves in the foot and you can't do that against a good football team. That's a very talented football team (in San Benito)."

You knew it was bound to happen. The writing was on the wall. After twenty one years of releasing heavy metal records, Grave Digger have proven to us all that they are indeed human, they have proven that they can make mistakes and they are in fact vulnerable. Grave Digger isn't the robotic, Teutonic warriors that I originally thought they were. With twelve albums on their saddlebags, these Germans have finally released a bad album. That would normally upset me, and I'll be perfectly honest with you, it did for the first few weeks I had this release. Now I have come to terms with the very idea that this band is human and they really can make mistakes.
With their newest album ,"The Last Supper", Grave Digger put together a lackluster affair that really does nothing to improve their sound, they don't do much of anything to help create something new and refreshing. Sure, there are some more modern elements here, but for the majority of this record Boltendahl and company just go through the motions, practically painting by number with the same memorized brush strokes they have been using for the last few years. Let me just state for the record that this isn't a terrible album. Hell, some folks may hear these songs and just agree that its Grave Digger, loud and proud and continuing to do what they do best. I'm fine with that, and it makes me happy to know that they will have a fan base out there that will echo those thoughts. For me, at this point in my listening experience, I demand something more.
I'm probably the biggest Grave Digger fan around. They fit into my Holy Trinity of power metal along with Rage (who hold the crown) and Running Wild (who bring up the rear). Grave Digger is second in that tier, they hold the high ground because they always stick to their roots and never compromise the integrity of their fans. Rage on the other hand have managed to change styles in their career, but I look at them as a more experimental band, possibly the group to always scout out new and refreshing ideas. We'll talk more about Running Wild in another upcoming column, where we will discuss their newest release "Rogues En Vogue", but for now it is time for "The Last Supper".
With themes and concepts always the focus of Grave Digger albums, I knew it was just a matter of time before they looked at Christ for inspiration. Following up story ideas ranging from William Wallace and Excalibur to The Crusades and Edgar Allen Poe, we now get an entire album dedicated to Christ's last days, exploring the treachery and betrayal that led to Christ's crucifixion. The songwriting is great, with a solid production job from Chris Boltendahl and Manni Schmidt. The album is most definitely Grave Digger from start to finish, but that is where my biggest concerns lie. "The Last Supper" is just more of the same. I seriously believe that these mighty Germans have painted themselves into a corner, they have lost the desire to create "memorable" music. Again, I stress to you that this is a Grave Digger album. Many will find that this is another solid record from a band that just refuses to disappoint their fans. I just have a serious problem hearing the same record over and over again.
You could look at the band's first era, 1984-1986, and really find plenty to like with records like "Heavy Metal Breakdown", "Wargames", and "Witchhunter". The group found a decent amount of success with Noise Records but eventually broke up. They reformed in 1993 and began their second era, this time recruiting Uwe Lulis on guitar. This particular stage of the band's career is my absolute favorite. You just can't get anything better than "The Reaper", "Symphony Of Death", "Heart Of Darkness", and the group's best effort, "Tunes Of War". Uwe Lulis added a certain sound to the band's profile, almost creating a warlike march with his rowdy guitar antics. The group started to lose direction in '98 with "Knights Of The Cross" and by the time "Excalibur" had been released Lulis had made up his mind to leave the group and form Rebellion, who have since released two fantastic albums in the style of "Heart Of Darkness" and "Tunes Of War".
Now the band find themselves in their weakest moment, the dreaded third stage. In 2000 the group brought ex-Rage guitarist Manni Schmidt into the fold to replace Lulis. At this point I was stoked because I loved his work with Rage on "Trapped" and "The Missing Link". I'll admit "The Grave Digger" was a brilliant record, and even the band's follow-up in 2003, "Rheingold", was a decent effort. I started to hear a slight decline in quality and at this point the band desperately needed to find a new "sound", one that would keep them refreshing after this many years in the recording industry. With "The Last Supper" the band really can't seem to get past their central sound, sticking to the same riffs and patterns as the band's last four records. At some point you have to say enough is enough and it is time to move on. I'm certainly not saying the band should break up, but they should either take a hiatus or simply evolve into something a bit more experimental. Perhaps add a second guitarist, or possibly find a second vocalist. Either way the band must change to continue to succeed in being interesting.
I won't go into much detail about the songs themselves because I have already taken enough of your time. I'll just say that there are some doomy songs that every Grave Digger fan will find familiar and there are some songs that are very much like the "Rheingold" material. You won't find anything that resembles the vibe of "Tunes Of War" or "Heart Of Darkness", in fact I will say that the band at this point never stray from the last four albums. Yaaawwwnnnn. Maybe it is Manni's fault, maybe his guitar playing has just become uninspired. Maybe he has lost all creative drive. Maybe it is Boltendahl's fault, perhaps he isn't dwelling on song structures and riffs nearly as much as he should. I think it is probably a combination of both, but I strongly feel that the band is just simply burned out. I think time is going to be the best medicine for the band and for their listeners. I know I could use a five year vacation from the group just so I can get excited about a new record.
I think the same thing that has happened to Grave Digger is happening to Overkill. Just simply too many albums and too many similar albums. Please guys, take a break and make that comeback album. It worked for Rage, it worked for Running Wild, and it has definitely worked for Saxon and Iron Maiden. Do us all a favor and just take your time with the next one. No rush.
Bottom Line - Another solid Grave Digger album that will please old fans. If you are looking for something new, look elsewhere.

Checked on the bees this weekend. They all seem to be doing great. Have one hive though that never seemed to get off the ground this spring. You can see it in the middle of the picture of the whole bee yard just to the right. It is the one that is still a single deep.
So, came up with a plan for it. I am going to pull the queen and a couple of frames of brood then put it in a nuc box to keep the queen, that way we can have a queen for observation hives. I will then drop two new frames of brood into the box from one of my good producers. The MHs seem to be doing very well with the honey and they are also fairly gentle, hmmmmmmm.
I think we are now somewhere in the neighborhood of about 400lbs of honey!!! Wow, it will be nice to have all of that to share with all of you this year.
After I was done checking on the hives and snapping pictures of the apiary, I went over by the kiddie pool that i setup for the bees to gather water. Picture is at the right. There were a lot of bees getting a drink there... Yea!!! I am so glad they have easily adopted the "watering hole" I created for them. I have another kiddie pool too, but at present it seems to have a leak. Hopefully, I can fix that this coming weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, we are looking to extract some of that fine Ozarks honey this weekend too. Hopefully, we can pull some off the hives and start bottling to sell.
Well, just incase we needed a subtle reminder of either one, today gave us just that. Well being the day after Mothers Day and being the favorite son (Ok, so I am the only son, but shhh, dont tell my mom), I thought that I should take my mom to lunch. Now, before you go acusing me of being a day late, you need to understand that she was out of town yesterday. So anyway, we are having lunch when I get this swarm call. Sounds like the perfect storm, er, swarm. It's about the size of a basketball and about five feet off the gound on a young maple tree. So I am very excited. I call Jeff and let him know that we have a live one... He gathered up his equipment and headed that way. Unfortunately, when he called to double check on the way they were already gone. You can see from the pictures that this swarm was just beautiful and looked to be very easy to catch. Oh well, better luck next time.
This might be a good time to remind everyone what areas we cover for swarm removal.
Well, the bees were a big hit at Classical Conversations (Liv's home school). She got up and sang the whole 1st verse and chorus to "I'm In Better Hand's Now". It was just amazing! I am so proud of her, she said, "well, I was a bit nervous dad, but I just sang anyway." How awesome, spoken like a truly beyond her yeas 5yr old. Tracy finished up the song, while Liv did her own "interpretive" dance to the music, then joined back in on the final chorus. It was great.
Then we talked about the family bees. It sure is fun telling everyone that we have over 1/2 a million bees. The questions are always so fun to answer. It always impresses me how much people know about bees, but I must admit, the parents at CC were especially "in the know." If any of you are reading this, you certainly do your homework when it comes to all natural ingredients, like honey. Although it wasn't the reason that we took the bees, I think that we have several new customers from the presentation. Livy sure enjoyed showing "her" bees off to her friends, and they loved checking them out just a much. It was a very fun time. Lots of compliments and questions.
Stopped by the Home Depot on the way to the house and they had 6~8' Japanese Maples on sale for $80. So, of course we had to go and get one. But first I had to get all those girls back into the hive. It was so nice, Tracy cme to help me. I really liked that! She has been showing more interest in the bees and wanting to learn about taking care of them. So, I was really excited when she asked if she could go over to the hives with me while I put the frame from the observation hive back in. I am going to have to get her suited up soon, so she can look down in a hive while I do an observation.
Where is the queen? Well, after looking for her yesterday in the parent hive of the split and not finding her. I can only assume that she either left with a swarm, or is in the nuc that I made from the hive. As it was getting late in the day and we needed to go if we wanted to purchase that tree. I quickly put the frame back into the hive and will have to check on the split tomorrow.

As we head into September with the knowledge that the remainder of the summer season is short lived, I have found myself looking back over the last few months and thinking what a generally lovely time it has been. So much has happened already this year and I find myself feeling a strong urge to simply stop and take it all in.
Perfume has obviously played a big part over the summer and the fact that I'll soon be retiring some of my summer scents in favour for my winter wardrobe has made me feel more than slightly melancholic about those scents which have carried significant favour through the hotter months.
In this post I'm taking a look back on the events of summer 2013 and the scents that have made it so fabulous. When I say scents, I don't just mean the fragrances I have worn but also the odours that have accompanied many a wonderful occasion and have helped cement each day as a wonderful, joy-filled memory.
In April my father married my step mother and whilst I'm fully aware that summer would not have technically started at that point, I still feel it is important enough a memory to include in my scented look back at the season.
For day one of the wedding I wore a rather snappy electric blue suit (accented by Alexander McQueen bow tie and Butler & Wilson lapel bling, naturally) and chose Maison Francis Kurkdjian's cerulean coloured OUD to match. The wedding itself was rather unconventional, starting at St Pancras International and including a trip on an old London bus, a ceremony in a beautiful art deco hall and a wedding breakfast at a Marcus Wareing restaurant.
The scents of the day were vivid and varied – from the diesel fumes of old Routemaster buses, accompanied by the sour fizz of one too many glasses of champagne to the umami odour of delicious scollops. It was a truly beautiful day, not just because of the smells that made it so memorable, but for the happiness on my father's face – that I shall never forget.
Next came July and my graduation. After two long (and relatively painful) years studying for a Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resources Management (boring, I know), I was finally able to graduate. To this day I don't know what was a greater feeling – the sense of pride I felt when collection my diploma or the simple relief of knowing it was all over.
For my graduation scent of the day I opted for Penhaligon's Vaara, a truly regal and exotic perfume that seemed befitting of the formalities of the day. The funniest thing I found on becoming a graduate was the immediate sense of achievement I felt the minute the gown I donned the famous cap and gown.
It was an incredibly hot day and the air was permeated with sweaty graduates trapped in the stuffy halls of musty university buildings. But these were students in their finery, which nowadays involves an intense haze of perfume, hairspray and fake tan. Class? – Maybe not, but most definitely distinct.
Later in July I was honoured to be invited back to Perfume Lovers London to deliver my second Summer Special. The theme this year was an 'olfactory world tour' where all in attendance would be taken on a trip around the globe, stopping off in exotic locations, all through the medium of perfume.
To represent the colourful and vibrant city of Bombay I had selected Neela Vermeire's triumphant Bombay Bling! and it was this perfume that I chose to wear whilst delivering my talk. In the humid London air my skin was cool with a kaleidoscope of fruit and flowers that provided me with the confidence and exuberance to deliver my talk with very few nerves.
The day after my Perfume Lovers London talk Nigel and I set off on a road trip to the artistic and cosmopolitan city of Bristol to visit my best friend. It was the first time either of us had visited Bristol and we were more than just a little bit excited to hang out with our bestest bud.
Long trips in cars are never comfortable, especially in the summer when air conditioning brings cool air but also dryness. To combat both the heat and the air conditioning woes I opted to spritz on copious amounts of Masion Francis Kukdjian's Aqua Vitae, a perfume that hovers just above the skin, casting shadows of yellow sunlight.
Upon arriving in Bristol we soaked up the sights, sounds and smells of what turned out to be a fascinating city. The floating harbour smelled positively ripe under the blazing sun and as we walked alongside it we could smell the intense odour of hot metal from the train tracks that run parallel to the water.
The rest of the trip was spent exploring shops, markets, spying Bansky's works of art and eating one metric ton of Chinese food. Time spent with friends is always the best but time spent with friends in a wonderful city is even better!
As is British tradition, our final trip of the summer was a family outing to the seaside. Nigel and I, accompanied by my older brother and sister, sister-in-law, father and nephew chose to the quaint seaside town of Aldeburgh, a place which we would frequent once a year as kids.
The weather was muggy and overcast (as one expects a British trip to the beach to be) but that didn't matter, we were on the beach with fish and chips, ice cream and our nephew who had seen the sea for the very first time that day – his reaction alone was worth the trip.

So happy to read of the wonders you have been experiencing! Our summer, at least the weather, has only begun in Los Angeles, however being old fashioned it is time to stop wearing white! While it seems we do have an eternal spring, I don't care the season, I wear what I love. It tends to be vanillas, ambers, gourmands, like a touch of sweet, not cloying kind. I do not personally know many you have mentioned. I do love Kilian Love and others. Sweet Seduction is a spring/summery staple for me, with it's wonderful orangy entrance! Here in LA we always smell gasoline, our car culture. The beachy scents begin at the coast and change as we go inward, even ten miles makes a difference. As we are indoors or in cars much, I don't think I reflect much on the scents in my enviroment, other than restaurants. Tonite, Moroccan and delightful!!! Now I think I will be more aware. I enjoy your writing and find I very much agree with your assessments and the fragrances you enjoy the most Best wishes to you!
And CdG Avignon which I just bought last week in remembrance of a wonderful friend who died last month and used to wear it a lot.
Sabine, I am very sorry to hear about your friend. Avignon sounds like a wonderful way to remember them.
I keep meaning to but a bottle of Portrait of a Lady. It really is something else isn't it?
Did you find M/Mink a bit too odd?
Gasoline, beachy scents and Moroccan food? It all sounds wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
It's interesting what you say about seasonal fragrances, I find that I still wear some heavier scents in the summer (because, like you say we should wear what we want when we want) but there is a marked difference in my summer rotation than my winter.
Impossible Iris by Ramon Monegal always reminds me the wonderful time I spent in Barcelona this summer.
Oh how lovely! I've not tried any if the Monegal scents. Would you recommend them?
I shall seek some out!
Not at all, I shall head over for a read!
Looks like you had a nice summer. Mine wasn't all that memorable overall. There were more lows than highs. I did purchase a few bottles I'd been dying to have for a while including Rubj. We did have one getaway where the innkeepers were involved in parrot rescue and had a fabulous bird room at the inn. One of the cockatoos fell in love with my hubby and me. He was so adorable and smelled like musky fruit from the pellets she fed him. The bird, not my husband.
Sorry to hear that your summer has been less than perfect!
It does sound like you had some success perfume wise though. Rubj is truly wonderful, I'm so glad you've picked up a bottle.
Welcome back to the world of perfume!!
Thomas, this is such a great post. It sounds like you had a wonderful summer with equally wonderful smells to accompany it.
We don't look back and savour recent memories often enough. Or if we do, it's usually the bad ones. Reading about your summer and looking at those great pics makes me realise how good it can be to pause and take stock.
I've just come back from 3 days of helping my sister with her house move so I'm too exhausted to even remember what perfume i've mostly been wearing but it's been the summer of learning Salsa so that's been good.
It really was a very lovely summer indeed!
P.S. I haven't forgotten your email, shall reply today.

Coventry City digest: Transfer update; Robins' latest; Funeral details
The latest Sky Blues news and views
Gregg Evans
Mark Robins has been quick to boost his Coventry City squad this summer, making eight new signings to date.
The Sky Blues boss has not been afraid to shake things up either, overhauling his options at left-back and adding intense competition at right-back and in midfield.
That has, inevitably, resulted in certain players becoming surplus to requirement with Ryan Haynes already sold to Shrewsbury Town, and fellow left-back Chris Stokes expected to follow him out of the Ricoh Arena after being linked with a move to newly-relegated League Two Bury.
Elsewhere, CoventryLive understands that two other players have been made available for transfer with a year left on their contracts – forward Peter Vincenti and striker Stuart Beavon.
Vincenti was signed by Robins last summer, joining on a free transfer from Rochdale, but things didn't really work out for the 31-year-old who was limited to 18 league starts last term.
Beavon , who was signed by Russell Slade from Burton Albion in the January window of 2017, started last season but didn't feature in a single game during the second half of the campaign.
Asked if he needs or is looking to off-load players this summer, Robins said: "We need to get back in, see what's happening and then I can take stock from there.
"But clearly there will be a number.
This is the Coventry City triallist set to sign a contract
"I want to take forward a squad that's competitive and if one or two are out of that then they are going to need to go and play. And one or two players will fall into that category at some point, I am sure."
As well as the senior duo who have slipped down the pecking order, Robins revealed that there could be development squad players heading out on loan to get competitive football.
These could include the likes of midfielder Callum Maycock, given the intense competition in the middle of the park, and third choice keeper Corey Addai, to name just two.
"I think one or two are going to need to go out and get some loan experience as well, just to give their development a boost," he said, "and Jason Farndon is going to need a squad for his Under-23 campaign.
"The lads from the Under-23s have had a little bit longer over the summer and their pre-season will look slightly different.
"We have just got to get back in and see how the land lies.
Coventry City fans show their love for departing player
"There are no hard and fixed thoughts on things.
"There are things I have got in mind but they might not come to fruition for one reason or another, and basically that might be because of people being in form, out of form or due to injuries and what have you.
"I am just looking forward to it and hopefully everyone will come back in decent nick, having had a decent amount of rest and mentally and physically ready to go again in pre-season."
Robins drops a hint
City manager Mark Robins has hinted that he could be in the market for another striker.
The Sky Blues boss is desperately trying to keep hold of last season's star man Marc McNulty who helped fire the team to promotion with 28 goals last season.
That has made the 25-year-old a much wanted man this summer and City have already knocked back three bids for his services from Championship Reading.

The Royals' third offer was understood to be around the £600,000 mark - some £1.4million off the likely valuation for the player.
In the event that a club hits the £2m mark City may reluctantly sell, in which case Robins is likely to go out and attempt to buy a replacement.
However, asked about his current strike force, assuming McNulty stays, the manager said: "We have got Max Biamou coming back in after being brilliant last season, especially in the second half of the season when he was even better than he was at the start of the season.
"I have got Jonson Clarke-Harris coming back; McNulty, Ponticelli and maybe there's room for another one. Let's see.
"But let's see where we go. There are probably still bits to do."
He added: "I am just looking forward to being back and getting a gauge for where they are at which will determine how we push forward and work for the first week or so.
"We have got our first game on Saturday against Sutton, which we will ease into. It won't be a full tilt thing."
The funeral details for Coventry City legend Ernie Hunt have been confirmed.
Hunt was a Sky Blues legend and was a firm fans' favourite during his five years at Coventry City, making 173 appearances and scoring 51 goals, including the Donkey Kick free-kick.
Hunt passed away last month, aged 75.
His funeral will take place on Wednesday, Julty 11 at Gloucester Crematorium, Coney Hill Road, Gloucester, GL4 4PA at 1.30pm.
The family would like this to be a small affair but all ex-playing friends are welcome.
The club and Coventry City Former Players' Assocation will be celebrating Ernie's life and his contribution to the Sky Blues at the start of the new season, with full details to be announced shortly.
Tribute to a friend
Coventry City legend Ernie Hunt was an "extraordinary goal scorer and top professional" according to his old team-mate Chris Cattlin.
Hunt – best known for his iconic donkey kick free-kick against Everton – has died, aged 75.
Here his life-long friend and former team-mate looks back at their time together.
The pair both signed for the Sky Blues on the same day and played in the same team together for five years when they formed a close bond.
Maintaining their relationship off the pitch, Cattlin has paid tribute to Hunt the man and the hero of Highfield Road .
Cattlin joined Coventry from Huddersfield on the same day Hunt arrived at Highfield Road from Everton in 1968.
Making their debuts in a win over Manchester United, both men thoroughly enjoyed their time at the club.
Hunt arrived at Coventry having briefly struggled on Merseyside, but he was a proven goal scorer elsewhere, and Cattlin was keen to emphasise the quality of the former Swindon striker.
"There are not many players who had Ernie Hunt's ability to hold the ball," said the 71-year-old.
"You could sling the ball to Ernie and you could wrap it around his Adam's apple and he'd still control it and keep possession of the ball."
Speaking on the standard of hold-up play in today's game, even at the current World Cup, the former defender insists there's no comparison.
However, Hunt would always hold back his best form for matchday, according to Cattlin.
Coventry City's key League One fixtures 2018/19
"Hunty wasn't the best trainer in the world," he admitted, "but when the whistle went he was very good.
"He did a bit of shooting stuff in the week, but when we needed it, he produced. Always!
"He was an extraordinary goal scorer. He was a top, top professional footballer."
Cattlin, who made over 200 appearances for Coventry, still holds a huge amount of respect for the club and its fanbase.
With Hunt producing some memorable moments in his five years at Coventry, he remains convinced that older supporters will share similar thoughts on the forward who also played for Wolves.
"I'm sure the City fans will have the same memories of him," he said.
"They're no fools those City fans. They recognise the kidders and the proper players – Hunty was a proper player, and a proper man with laughter around him."
Hunt played for the Sky Blues between 1968-1973, scoring 51 goals in 173 games, including all four games during Coventry's UEFA Cup campaign in 1970/71, scoring against Bayern Munich.
The iconic donkey kick
Coventry defeated Everton 3-1 on October 3rd, 1970 but the match would go down in history due to his spectacular finish.
Willie Carr, another close friend of Hunt's, positioned the ball between his feet before flicking it up for the forward to volley home.
But Cattlin revealed that the move was something the squad had practised for some time.
"I remember the reserves scored donkey kicks twice at Highfield Road – I forget the player who scored it – and we tried it and tried it in training," he said.
"And then, of course, on Match of the Day it came off and they banned it, which was ridiculous."
The FA outlawed the move at the end of the 1970/71 season, meaning a similar goal would never be seen again in English football.
Though, almost fifty years on, Cattlin still insists that the ban was questionable, suggesting it was a piece of genuine innovation from the players.
"Coventry City Football Club, then-manager Noel Cantwell and all the coaching staff were trying to bring something else to the game and the big wigs at the top say you kicked the ball twice. Well, there's a grey area there.
"I had eight or nine years with Hunty – there were lots of donkey kicks over those years."
Born Roger Hunt but adopting Ernie due to the Liverpool striker of the same name, he started out with his local side Swindon but seemingly found a second home with Coventry City and earned a reputation for a great sense of humour as well as a terrific player.
"I became very good friends with Hunty over the years," said Cattlin.
"My memories of Ernie are that he was a tremendous player and tremendous professional footballer. He played the game with a smile on his face.
"He was a character but through the laughter and the joking he was a proper man, and certainly a proper footballer."
Naming his 2004 autobiography The Joker, Hunt was only too aware of his skill to make the people around him laugh.
On an emotional day, Cattlin reflected on this, and poignantly revealing how he intended to remember his friend's life.
"When I think of Hunty in the quieter moments, I'll have a smile on my face because he made people laugh – and that's not a bad way to go out in life if you can make people smile.
"I've nothing but total admiration for Ernie Hunt."
Highly regarded by all who knew him, Cattlin's words seem to speak for more than himself when he attempts to capture his overriding feelings towards Hunt.
"He was a scorer of wonderful goals, a great comrade off the field and it's a very, very sad day. I feel absolutely choked.
"He was a proper man, and a true professional. I can't speak highly enough of him."
Coventry City CentreWoman fined £200 for not wearing mask in Coventry shopThe incident happened in the city centre


Russia isn't the only place where attacks against the U.S Government come from, as a 24-year-old American pleads guilty to charges he was part of a group that targeted US intelligence officials including CIA chief John Brennan.
The first of five individuals associated with the hacker group known as 'Crackas Wth Attitude' (CWA), that are alleged to have hacked online accounts of U.S Government officials in 2015, has pleaded guilty. 24-year-old Justin G. Liverman of North Carolina entered a plea agreement with the U.S. Justice Department on Jan. 6.
Liverman is one of two American citizens and five individuals who were alleged to be part of the CWA effort that was able to exploit internet accounts owned by senior U.S Government officials including CIA Chief John Brennan and U.S Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
"Liverman's plea admits guilt to a conspiracy to commit unauthorized computer intrusions, identity theft, and telephone harassment," the Department of Justice stated.
According to the original affidavit in the case, the CWA attackers used anonymizing software and social media platforms to communicate with each other, as well as to obtain unlawful access to online accounts and harass their victims.
The CWA attackers used social engineering techniques in order to exploit victim's accounts. Among the exploits that were conducted was one in November 2015, when a member of the CWA was able to gain access to a victim's Comcast account. Using the victim's credentials, a member of the CWA was able to gain access to the victim's account for the Law Enforcement Portal (LEEP). A member of the CWA then released information from the LEEP system on more than 80 officers from several Miami-area law enforcement agencies. The CWA also, according to the affidavit, made a false bomb threat to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in West Palm Beach, Fla. in January 2016.
As part of the statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, Liverman's role was identified as publicly posting online documents and personal information unlawfully obtained from a victim's personal account. Additionally, Liverman sent threatening text messages to the same victim's cellphone.
Liverman will be sentenced on May 12 and faces up to five years in prison. His U.S co-defendant, Andrew Otto Boggs, who also is from North Carolina, is expected to enter a guilty plea on January 10, according to the DoJ.
Liverman's legal defense was assisted by the Courage Foundation, which is a group that aims to help support the efforts of whistleblowers.
"Nothing was really hacked in this case because important government officials and agencies left the door wide open," Courage attorney Tor Ekelan said in a statement. "One hopes that hostile nation state actors didn't walk through that open door before Justin (Livermore) did."

Mississinewa 1812
America's Most Exciting Living History Weekend!
Located at the Mississinewa Battlefield, Marion, Indiana
About the Battle
1812 Timeline
Mississinewa Battlefield Society
The Battle of Mississinewa
It was the morning of December 18, 1812, the morning of the Battle of the Mississinewa. Above the sound of fighting, smell of gunpowder and feel of death rose one of the most significant chapters in the War of 1812 and dramatic moments in the history of Grant County, Indiana.
A search and destroy mission, the Battle of the Mississinewa was one of the major engagements fought during the War of 1812. It marked the first offensive victory of the American army during the war.
When war began, the entire Northwest Territory (present day Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin) became a disaster area for the United States. What had been a smoldering conflict between white settlers and the Indians erupted into full-scale war between the Indians and the United States. In swift succession, Forts Mackinac, Dearborn (Chicago) and Detroit fell to British and Indian forces.
Those Indians who had been neutral now began aligning themselves with the British and threatened the United States control of the Northwest Territory.
In September 1812, William Henry Harrison was put in command of the army. His orders: Protect the western frontier and recapture Detroit. Harrison believed the Indian villages along the Mississinewa River were being used as a staging area for Indian attacks on his army.
Against this background, on Nov. 24, 1812, Lt. Col. John B. Campbell led 600 mounted troops out of central Ohio on a secret mission to destroy the Indian villages on the river.
On December 17, 1812, Campbell's troops surprised the first of four Indian villages, killing 8 inhabitants and taking 42 prisoners. They continued north for three miles, destroying three more vacated villages before returning to the site of the first village to camp for the night.
Just before dawn on the 18th of December, an estimated 300 Indians counterattacked. When the shooting ended an hour later, 15 Miami and Delaware warriors lay dead; and untold number of wounded had been carried from the field.
The two-day engagement had cost the lives of 12 federal troops and another 48 had been wounded. As many as 45 Indians may have died in the conflict defending their lands.
Campbell's half-starved troops marched in knee-deep snow for seven days as they returned to Greenville, Ohio, resulting in 300 casualties from frostbite. In an act of compassion, Campbell allowed the Indian women and children to ride horseback to Greenville forcing some of his own troops to walk.
The Mississinewa Expedition was the most successful of Harrison's military actions in the fall of 1812. It eliminated the Mississinewa River area as a haven for Indian resistance, restored the people's confidence in the army, and secured the route of Harrison's army for the recapture of Fort Detroit.
