the earliest blues-laced, rockabilly-styled recordings of The Traits, primarily written in a collaboration between Bolton, Buie, Gibson and Head, have demonstrated lasting power with "One More Time", "Live It Up" and "Summertime Love" making periodic surges into the Top 100 in various parts of Europe. Joe "King" Carrasco had a hit covering The Traits "One More Time" and releasing it on Hannibal Records and Stiff Records (UK) in 1981-1982. Two Tons of Steel covered "One More Time" again on both CD and DVD in 2000, Palo Duro Records entitled "Two Tons of Steel – Live at Gruene Hall". Discographies reveal that much of the music originally written, composed and recorded by the Traits at TNT and | 6,123,200 |

Renner Records between 1958 and 1962, has been re-released over the past four decades numerous times by as many as 20 different record labels both in the U.S. and abroad.
During 1966 and 1967, when Head was working with the Roy Head Trio, The Traits independently recorded using Dean Scott on lead vocals. Scott had previously been the stand-in vocalist while Head had been away in the military. In 1967 The Traits recorded with pre-fame Johnny Winter featuring Winter's vocals and blistering guitar leads, producing a vinyl 45; "Parchman Farm" and "Tramp" on Universal 30496. No one knew that Johnny Winter was just months away from bursting upon the national scene with his appearance at Woodstock. | 6,123,201 |
6868010 | Roy Head | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roy%20Head | Roy Head
Johnny Winter later re-released the track of "Tramp" he recorded with The Traits in his 1988 compilation album, "Birds Can't Row Boats."
After the 1967 disbanding of the Roy Head Trio consisting of Head, Gibson, Kurtz and guitarist David "Hawk" Koon, Head started pursuing his solo career.
Head is a member of the Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame, the Texas Country and Western Music Hall of Fame and the Austin Music Awards Hall of Fame. Roy Head and The Traits held reunions in 2001 and 2007. Both reunions involved performances at Kent Finley's Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos an early musical hangout of George Strait. During their October 2007 sold-out Golden Anniversary Concert appropriately | 6,123,202 |

billed as 'Roy Head and The Tratis - For The Last Time', at Texas State University, Roy Head and The (original) Traits were inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame by the Hall's Curator, Bob Timmers. Tommy Bolton and George Frazier were inducted posthumously. Musicians for the performance were Traits Head, Gerry Gibson, Dan Buie, Clyde Causey, Bill Pennington and Gene Kurtz, with special guests Bill York, Don Hutchko, Don Head (1933–2009), and his son, Jason "Sundance" Head.
In 2008, Head performed in Cleveland, Ohio for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As observed by the Austin Music Awards organization, 'if someone ever starts a Hall of Fame for blue-eyed soul artist, “Roy Head and the Traits” | 6,123,203 |
6868010 | Roy Head | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roy%20Head | Roy Head
should be the first name chiseled in granite.' "Billboard" has observed that Head's versatility actually worked against him since he did not fit into any specific marketing niche. His use of many small record labels also prevented his recordings from achieving national distribution.
Head continues to be active in recording and performing music.
# Personal life.
His son Sundance Head was a contestant on season 6 of "American Idol". In 2007, Sundance signed a recording contract with Universal Motown Records. In 2016, he was the winner on season 11 of "The Voice", mentored by Blake Shelton.

World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks
World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks is a car combat shooter game that has a similar gameplay to the "Twisted Metal" and "Vigilante 8" series. Like Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8, the player must obtain "powerups" and defeat enemy vehicles, but must capture the enemy flags in order to win. However, all of the vehicles are tanks, hence its name. The game itself is short, making it quite unpopular among gamers. It was also one of the very first PlayStation 2 titles to be released. It is considered a spiritual successor to the Battletanx series, since it has similar gameplay to that as well, and is made by the same company, The 3DO Company. Also a mototank | 6,123,207 |

o one of the very first PlayStation 2 titles to be released. It is considered a spiritual successor to the Battletanx series, since it has similar gameplay to that as well, and is made by the same company, The 3DO Company. Also a mototank from can be seen in the opening title sequence, and many of the playable tanks are inspired or directly copied from Battletanx. A reversed M-80 (only in the PS1 version of Battletanx: Global Assault) can also be seen in game as the unplayable AI controlled Skorpion Bomb Tank.

7539756 | Neo-conceptual art | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo-conceptual%20art | Neo-conceptual art
Neo-conceptual art
Neo-conceptual art describes art practices in the 1980s and particularly 1990s to date that derive from the conceptual art movement of the 1960s and 1970s. These subsequent initiatives have included the Moscow Conceptualists, United States neo-conceptualists such as Sherrie Levine and the Young British Artists, notably Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin in the United Kingdom, where there is also a Stuckism counter-movement and criticism from the 1970s conceptual art group Art and Language.
# History.
Many of the concerns of the "conceptual art" movement proper have been taken up by many contemporary artists since the initial wave of conceptual artists. While many of these artists | 6,123,228 |
7539756 | Neo-conceptual art | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo-conceptual%20art | Neo-conceptual art
may not term themselves "conceptual artists", ideas such as anti-commodification, social and/or political critique, digital art, and ideas/information as medium continue to be aspects of contemporary art, especially among artists working with computer art, installation art, performance art, net.art and electronic art. Many critics and artists may speak of conceptual aspects of a given artist or art work, reflecting the enduring influence that many of the original conceptual artists have had on the art world.
# New York City.
The idea of neo-conceptual art (sometimes later termed post-conceptual art) in the United States was clearly articulated by Tricia Collins and Richard Milazzo (working | 6,123,229 |
7539756 | Neo-conceptual art | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo-conceptual%20art | Neo-conceptual art
as a team called Collins & Milazzo) in the early 1980s in New York City, when they brought to prominence a whole new generation of artists through their copious writings and curatorial activity. It was their exhibitions and writings that originally fashioned the theoretical context for a new kind of neo (or post) conceptual art; one that argued simultaneously against Neo-Expressionism and Picture-Theory Art. It was through this context that the work of many of the artists associated with Neo-Conceptualism (or what some of the critics reductively called “Simulationism” and “Neo Geo”) was first brought together: artists such as Ross Bleckner, James Welling, Steven Parrino, Richard Prince, Peter | 6,123,230 |
7539756 | Neo-conceptual art | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo-conceptual%20art | Neo-conceptual art
Nagy, Joseph Nechvatal, Sarah Charlesworth, Mark Innerst, Allan McCollum, Peter Halley, Jonathan Lasker, Haim Steinbach, Philip Taaffe, Robert Gober and Saint Clair Cemin.
# Moscow.
The Moscow Conceptualists, in the 1970s and 80s, attempted to subvert socialist ideology using the strategies of conceptual art and appropriation art. The central figures were Ilya Kabakov and Komar and Melamid. The group also included Eric Bulatov and Viktor Pivovarov.
# London.
The Young British Artists (YBAs), led by Damien Hirst, came to prominence in the 1990s and their work was described at the time as neo-conceptual, even though it relies very heavily on the art object to make its impact. The term is used | 6,123,231 |
7539756 | Neo-conceptual art | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo-conceptual%20art | Neo-conceptual art
in relation to them on the basis that the object is not the artwork, or is often a found object, which has not needed artistic skill in its production. Tracey Emin is seen as a leading YBA and a neo-conceptualist, even though she has denied that she is and has emphasised personal emotional expression. Charles Harrison, a member of the conceptual art group Art and Language in the 1970s, criticizes the neo-conceptual art of the 1990s as conceptual art "without threat or awkwardness" and a "vacant" prospect. Other notable artists associated with neo-conceptualism in the UK include Martin Creed, Liam Gillick, Bethan Huws, Simon Patterson, Simon Starling and Douglas Gordon.

# Controversy in the UK.
In Britain, the rise to prominence of the Young British Artists (YBAs) after the 1988 "Freeze" show, curated by Damien Hirst, and subsequent promotion of the group by the Saatchi Gallery during the 1990s, generated a media backlash, where the phrases "conceptual art" and "neo-conceptual" came to be terms of derision applied to much contemporary art. This was amplified by the Turner Prize whose more extreme nominees (most notably Hirst and Emin) caused a controversy annually.
The Stuckist group of artists, founded in 1999, proclaimed | 6,123,234 |
7539756 | Neo-conceptual art | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo-conceptual%20art | Neo-conceptual art
themselves "pro-contemporary figurative painting with ideas and anti-conceptual art, mainly because of its lack of concepts." They also called it pretentious, "unremarkable and boring" and on July 25, 2002 deposited a coffin outside the White Cube gallery, marked "The Death of Conceptual Art". They staged yearly demonstrations outside the Turner Prize.
In 2002, Ivan Massow, the Chairman of the Institute of Contemporary Arts branded conceptual art "pretentious, self-indulgent, craftless tat" and in "danger of disappearing up its own arse ... led by cultural tsars such as the Tate's Sir Nicholas Serota.

Shane Perry
Shane Perry (born 9 November 1977) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 2000s whose usual position was halfback. He played in the National Rugby League for the Western Suburbs Magpies, Canterbury-Bankstown and the Brisbane Broncos (with whom he won the 2006 premiership), as well as in the Super League for French club Catalans Dragons.
# Career.
Perry was part of the Queensland Cup playing for the Logan Scorpions in 1998, winning the Rothmans medal for best and fairest player that year.
Perry started out his first-grade rugby league career with Western Suburbs Magpies in 1999 and played in the club's last ever game as a first grade side | 6,123,238 |
7539904 | Shane Perry | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shane%20Perry | Shane Perry
which was a 60-16 loss against Auckland.
Perry then joined Canterbury-Bankstown and played with the club for 2 seasons.
He then played for the Queensland Cup team Redcliffe Dolphins, winning their player of the year award in 2002 and also captaining the side in 2005.
Perry was then brought into the Brisbane Broncos camp/squad to provide cover during the State of Origin period where the Broncos are traditionally hit hardest with extra playing duties and/or injuries. But Perry became the number one , when team-mate Brett Seymour had his contract with the club terminated for disciplinary reasons. Perry's ability to complement captain Darren Lockyer on-field relieved some pressure from the captain. | 6,123,239 |
7539904 | Shane Perry | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shane%20Perry | Shane Perry
Perry's form continued to improve and he played at half-back in the Broncos' 2006 NRL Grand Final victory.
As 2006 NRL Premiers, the Brisbane Broncos travelled to England to face 2006 Super League champions, St Helens R.F.C. in the 2007 World Club Challenge. Perry played at halfback in the Broncos' 14-18 loss.
After mixed years in 2007 and 2008, he signed with French Super League team Catalans Dragons for the 2009 season.
Perry is one of the few NRL players that mix rugby-league career with a job.
He scored 60 tries and a total of 261 points for the Redcliffe Dolphins in the Queensland Cup.
Perry also played for Norths Devils of the Queensland Cup.

Laguna Blanca School
Laguna Blanca School is a private school located on two different campuses, in Santa Barbara and nearby Montecito, California.
Founded in 1933, Laguna Blanca is an independent, co-educational, college-preparatory day school for students in grades K-12 in Santa Barbara.
# History.
The land in Hope Ranch was made available by Harold Chase for the establishment of a school—Edward Selden Spaulding and three of his colleagues from the Deane School founded Laguna Blanca School in 1933. With Mr. Spaulding as the first headmaster, the School opened its doors to 45 young men and graduated its first official class four years later in 1937.
To keep pace with increasing enrollment, | 6,123,242 |

young men and graduated its first official class four years later in 1937.
To keep pace with increasing enrollment, the School added new buildings, classrooms, and science labs, growing from a campus to the approximate that houses the school today. In 1942, Laguna became coeducational, and in 1957, the School added a kindergarten to elementary and secondary classes.
The year 2000 proved pivotal in the history of Laguna Blanca with the acquisition of a new Lower School site in Montecito. Grades K-4 are located on the Montecito campus, while the rest are located on the main campus.

Abraham ben Nathan
Abraham ben Nathan () was a Provençal rabbi and scholar born in the second half of the 12th century, probably at Lunel, Languedoc, where he also received his education. It is for this reason that he is sometimes also called HaYarḥi "of Lunel" since Hebrew "yareaḥ" is the equivalent of the French word "lune" "moon'.
In Lunel, Abraham may have studied under Abraham ben David, but his regular rabbinical studies, were pursued at Dampierre, Aube in northern France at the academy of Isaac ben Samuel. Abraham subsequently left his birthplace, and, after much traveling, finally settled in Toledo, Spain in 1204, where his learning quickly gained for him the favor of the rich and learned | 6,123,251 |
7539953 | Abraham ben Nathan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abraham%20ben%20Nathan | Abraham ben Nathan
Joseph ibn Shushan and that of his sons, Solomon and Isaac. To these patrons he dedicated his seminal work, "Sefer Ha-Manhig" ("The Guide"), or as the author called it, "Manhig 'Olam," which he began in 1204 and completed some years later. In its present form the book consists of two distinct portions, the first of which comprises a collection of responsa, compiled from his numerous written and oral decisions, some of the former of which still bear the usual epistolary conclusion: "Shalom! A. B. N." (Greeting! Abraham ben Nathan). The second part contains extracts from the halakhic works of Isaac Alfasi, Isaac ibn Ghiyyat and Isaac ben Abba Mari, a relative of Abraham's.
The "Manhig" did not | 6,123,252 |
7539953 | Abraham ben Nathan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abraham%20ben%20Nathan | Abraham ben Nathan
exert any important influence on halakhic literature and is only occasionally mentioned by rabbis of the Middle Ages. However, it must be considered as of some importance in the history of Jewish literature, for it contains numerous literal quotations from the two Talmuds and most of the halakhic and aggadic Midrashim, as well as from certain collections of the Haggadot which have been wholly lost; so that the "Manhig" contributes considerably to the textual criticism of all of those works. It gives interesting and instructive details concerning special synagogical usages, personally observed by the author in northern France, southwestern Germany, Burgundy, Champagne, Provence, England, and | 6,123,253 |
7539953 | Abraham ben Nathan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abraham%20ben%20Nathan | Abraham ben Nathan
Spain, and for which there is no other source of information. Thus, he tells us that it was the custom in France for children to bring their Christian nurses to the courtyard of the synagogue on Purim, where their parents and relatives loaded them with gifts (p. 43a, ed. Berlin). He relates also that this custom was strongly objected to by many, because the Jewish poor were losers thereby, and Rashi is said especially to have denounced it.
Abraham is said also to have written a work entitled "Maḥaziḳ haBedeḳ," upon the ritual for slaughtering animals for food, mention of which, however, is made by but one writer in 1467. Renan was mistaken in saying that this work is mentioned in "HaManhig" | 6,123,254 |
7539953 | Abraham ben Nathan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abraham%20ben%20Nathan | Abraham ben Nathan
(p. 1b; Renan, "Les Rabbins Français," p. 747), for the words "sifri maḥaziq habedeq" refer, as may be seen from page 2b, line 6, to the "HaManhig," which was designed to counteract any schism in matters of ritual. Abraham Zacuto, in "Yuḥasin" (ed. Filipowski, p. 221), who is followed by David Conforte in his "Ḳore haDorot" (ed. Berlin, 19b), ascribes, without giving his authority, a certain book entitled "Maḥaziḳ haBedeḳ" to Abraham ben Nathan. But Reifmann's assertion that RABN was the author of a work entitled "Bet Zebul" ("Habitation") is wholly unwarranted; for these two words, occurring in the introduction to "HaManhig" (p. 1, l. 6), refer to the "HaManhig" itself, as is evident from the | 6,123,255 |
7539953 | Abraham ben Nathan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abraham%20ben%20Nathan | Abraham ben Nathan
passage on page 2, line 6. RABN wrote also a commentary on the tractate Kallah, which is extant in fragmentary form only; specimens of it were given in the Hebrew weekly "HaMaggid" (1865, pp. 149, 150, 157, 158).
During his long stay in Spain, Abraham learned Arabic sufficiently to translate into Hebrew a responsum by Saadia Gaon, which is to be found in the "HaManhig" (ed. Berlin, p. 95). His responsa were also published in Wertheimer's "Ginze Yerushalayim," 1896.

Dave founded InMe (originally known as Drowned) in 1996 as a three piece with him on lead vocals & guitar, Joe Morgan on bass & backing vocals and Simon Taylor on drums when they were just 14 years old. They were signed to MFN in 2001 and released their debut album Overgrown Eden in 2003. The band have consistently been active ever since. Joe | 6,123,266 |

Morgan departed from the band in 2006 and was replaced by Dave's brother Greg. In 2009 the band expanded to a four piece with the addition of Ben Konstantinovic on lead guitar, but he left the following year and was replaced by Gazz Marlow. In 2019 the band expanded to a five piece with the addition of rhythm guitarist John O'Keeffe, who had previously been a member of the band's touring crew. With the addition of O'Keeffe, Dave stepped away from guitar duties and transitioned to solely being a vocalist. However, he still remains as the band's primary songwriter.
# Solo.
Dave started working on solo material as early as 2004 during downtime from InMe's touring cycle (though it seems he has | 6,123,267 |
7540238 | Dave McPherson (musician) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dave%20McPherson%20(musician) | Dave McPherson (musician)

Okaihau
Okaihau is a small town in the Northland Region of New Zealand's North Island, just north of Kaikohe. State Highway 1 passes through the town. According to the 2013 New Zealand census, Okaihau has a population of 696, a decrease of 21 people since the 2006 census.
# History.
Okaihau was a Māori village when the settlers arrived on the ridge which stands between Lake Omapere and the Hokianga harbour. It was the northern most point for the railway. Okaihau was very busy during early to mid 20th century, but the removal of the railway stopped the business and tourist flow.
# Transport.
On 29 October 1923, a branch line railway was opened to Okaihau from the junction with the North Auckland | 6,123,276 |
7540147 | Okaihau | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okaihau | Okaihau
Line at Otiria. Work on an extension of the line beyond Okaihau to the Hokianga Harbour and Kaitaia proceeded slowly, and in 1936, the line was essentially complete to Rangiahua. However, it was decided that construction beyond Rangiahua would be excessively expensive and the steep section from Okaihau to Rangiahua was seen as unnecessary and accordingly removed. The railway line thus became known as the Okaihau Branch and Okaihau became New Zealand's northernmost railway terminus. With Okaihau being on the main State Highway north (SH1) it became the transshipping point for goods from rail onto road and vice versa.
For the Okaihau Branch's first few decades of operation, passengers were catered | 6,123,277 |
7540147 | Okaihau | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okaihau | Okaihau
for by mixed trains that carried freight as well and ran to slow timetables. These mixed services offered connections with the Northland Express passenger train that ran thrice weekly between Auckland and Opua, but in November 1956, the carriage train was replaced by a railcar service run by RM class 88 seaters. The northern terminus was changed from Opua to Okaihau, and the railway line rose in prominence and importance. The railcars provided a considerable improvement in service and were very popular throughout their service duration. However, mechanical faults plagued the railcars and they were cancelled in July 1967. Mixed trains continued to operate to Whangarei until 21 June 1976, when | 6,123,278 |
7540147 | Okaihau | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okaihau | Okaihau
the line became freight-only. However, declining freight volumes due to deregulation of the transport industry in 1983 meant that the line did not last much longer, and it closed on 1 November 1987.
Today, the Okaihau railway station platform edge remains in its former location beside a flat area that was once the railway yard, and just to the north of the town is a tunnel on the ill-fated section to Rangiahua, New Zealand's northernmost railway tunnel.
There have been calls and proposals to reopen the Okaihau Branch to carry forestry traffic but to date nothing has yet come to fruition.
# Education.
## History.
The earliest official record of a school in Okaihau was in 1874, prior to this, | 6,123,279 |
7540147 | Okaihau | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okaihau | Okaihau
school had been taught by Mr. Joseph Harrison from 1870 or 1871. The earliest date is not known. The settlers, through Mr. McCloud the M.P for the Bay of Islands at the time arranged to provide the timber for a school and the government would erect it and pay the teacher in full. The school was built in 1874, opening with a roll of 21 pupils.
By 1889 the school building was too small and was shifted down to serve as the Upper Waihou School. A larger one was built in its place. This bigger school was known continuously as the "Main School" until consolidation over forty years later. Other schools opened in the area at later dates were; Upper Waihou, Rangi Point, Cooks Road, Utakura, Okaihau | 6,123,280 |
7540147 | Okaihau | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okaihau | Okaihau
East and Okaihau Public Works School. Due to the large influx of workers on the proposed railway line to Kaitaia the Public Works School became necessary. It grew to have three teachers.
Prior to 1938 there was no secondary education available to those in the Okaihau area. Students would either have to board in Auckland or Whangarei, or travel to Kaikohe by train. The trip to Kaikohe was an endurance test for students as they would often not get home until 6pm or later. On 4 April 1938 a consolidated school was opened with a roll of 180. The first headmaster was Mr. A. Burnett.
In 1947 the roll had increased to such an extent the Consolidated School became a District High School and with the | 6,123,281 |
7540147 | Okaihau | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okaihau | Okaihau
addition of two prefabricated buildings served as both primary and secondary schools. The first headmaster was Mr. J. Lee and Mr. T. Batty assisted in the High School department. Further expansion took place in 1963 when a separate Infant Block was erected across the road from the Main School.
## Okaihau College.
In 1973 the High School was granted Form 1–7 (Year 7–13) status and became Okaihau College with Mr. Laurenson as first principal. At the same time a full primary school was completed around the Infant Block with Mr. N. Thomson becoming the first headmaster. At the end of 1973 there were 263 pupils attending the college and 219 at the primary school.
Okaihau College has grown to a | 6,123,282 |
7540147 | Okaihau | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okaihau | Okaihau
Okaihau College has grown to a current student roll of students.
## Okaihau Primary School.
Okaihau Primary School caters for children between Years 1 and 6 and has a roll of students.
# Present.
Okaihau village is now growing, with a cafe, a hardware store, a dairy, a Four Square and a takeaways.
# Name.
The name "Okaihau" is a Maori name meaning "Feast of the winds", which is relevant to the location of the area on a ridge over 200 m above sea level. This part of New Zealand was originally a dense wooded landscape and even today huge old trees such as puriri are found in the area of the school.

Bob Hank
Robert William "Bob" Hank (19 June 1923 – 14 June 2012) was an Australian rules footballer who played for West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
# Career.
Hank began his senior playing career with the wartime combination of West Torrens–Port Adelaide in 1944. He then moved to West Torrens the next year when the official SANFL competition resumed, featuring prominently in the centre in Torrens' winning Grand Final side that triumphed that year over their former wartime partners Port Adelaide.
Hank's brilliant start to his career continued in 1946 with the first of back-to-back Magarey Medals – the SANFL's highest individual award for the "fairest and | 6,123,284 |
7540167 | Bob Hank | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob%20Hank | Bob Hank
most brilliant" player.
In 1946 he was also selected for the first of 27 state games for South Australia. He went on to captain the state side between 1951 and 1954 and earned selection in the inaugural All-Australian team for his performances during the 1953 Adelaide Carnival.
Throughout his career Hank was known for his fine ball handling and his distinctive left foot drop-kicks. Hank played in the centre or across half-forward with immense courage and tantalising elusiveness. In his latter years he played despite serious injuries and when finally retired in 1958 he had played a total of 224 games.
In total Hank won the West Torrens' best and fairest award nine times (six in a row between | 6,123,285 |
7540167 | Bob Hank | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob%20Hank | Bob Hank
1945 and 1950). He captained his club for nine seasons and was captain-coach in 1951 and he was a member of West Torrens' last ever premiership team in 1953.
Hank's brothers Bill and Ray Hank also played for West Torrens, as did Hank's son Barry.
# Accolades.
Bob Hank was awarded life membership of the West Torrens Football Club for his services to the club while still a player in 1953. His life membership was carried over to the Woodville-West Torrens Football Club when West Torrens merged with the Woodville Football Club in 1991.

Steak and Ale
Steak and Ale was an American chain of casual dining restaurants, that went bankrupt in 2008. However the brand, recipes and other intellectual property associated with the former chain is currently owned by Legendary Restaurant Brands, LLC, the parent company for Bennigan's.
Steak and Ale was founded as an independent restaurant chain in Dallas, Texas, on February 26, 1966, by Norman E. Brinker. On July 29, 2008, the chain's remaining 58 locations closed as part of a chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding.
In 2014, Bennigan's CEO Paul Mangiamele announced their intended comeback for 2016, but as of June 2019 no locations have opened.
In 2018, Legendary Restaurant Brands kept the Steak | 6,123,288 |
7540245 | Steak and Ale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steak%20and%20Ale | Steak and Ale
and Ale brand alive by adding some of the Steak and Ale signature favorites to the Bennigan's menu in 2018 even though Legendary has yet to open a single Steak and Ale restaurant.
# Fare.
Popular menu items at Steak and Ale included the signature herb-roasted prime rib, Kensington club, New York strip, filet mignon, Hawaiian chicken, and spicy grilled chicken pasta. The restaurant featured an unlimited salad bar or a choice of soup with most of its entrees on the dinner menu. It also featured free drink refills and a honey wheat bread. Steak and Ale also offered a lunch menu with many items for $6.99. During the mid-1990s, in an attempt to revitalize lagging sales, the "Early Evening" menu | 6,123,289 |
7540245 | Steak and Ale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steak%20and%20Ale | Steak and Ale
was introduced. In addition to lower prices, all the "Early Evening" fares included a free beverage and free dessert. Some of the complimentary dessert selections were strawberry sundown cake, twilight triple fudge cake, and spice cake. The restaurant also featured wine samples for only 25 cents.
# History.
Restaurant pioneer Norman Brinker founded Steak and Ale in 1966 in Dallas. The chain, with its dimly lit Tudor-style decorated dining rooms, billed itself as offering an upscale steak experience at lower prices. It was seen as a model for the casual-dining steakhouse chain, and many executives there went on to run other large chains.
It remained an independent chain until 1976, when Pillsbury | 6,123,290 |
7540245 | Steak and Ale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steak%20and%20Ale | Steak and Ale
purchased it and folded it into its restaurant group with Burger King, Bennigan's, and other stores. At the time, the company had 113 locations of Steak and Ale and Jolly Ox (the name Steak and Ale used in markets that did not allow a reference to liquor in a restaurant name).
In 1982, Pillsbury spun off the company and Bennigan's into the independent S&A Restaurant Corp. Steak and Ale grew as one of the first chain dinner houses to its height in the late 1980s with 280 locations, before competition that the brand helped inspire eroded its market presence. In 1988, Metromedia purchased the company. In 1993, the company was merged with the Metromedia Steak Houses chains Bonanza and Ponderosa, | 6,123,291 |
7540245 | Steak and Ale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steak%20and%20Ale | Steak and Ale
and all three chains were operated under the S&A Restaurant Group brand.
The S&A Restaurant Corp bankruptcy in July 2008 affected the Bennigan's restaurant chain, also owned by that company; all of the company-owned stores closed the same day as the Steak and Ale restaurants. Franchised Bennigan's locations remained open.
The MetroMedia Company also owns the Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouse chains, which were not affected by the bankruptcy filing; they are operated by a different subsidiary of the company.
# Planned revival.
In 2013, a Facebook page was created for the comeback of Steak and Ale and Bennigan's CEO Paul Mangiamele announced that the chain will be part of Bennigan's comeback | 6,123,292 |
7540245 | Steak and Ale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steak%20and%20Ale | Steak and Ale
rent subsidiary of the company.
# Planned revival.
In 2013, a Facebook page was created for the comeback of Steak and Ale and Bennigan's CEO Paul Mangiamele announced that the chain will be part of Bennigan's comeback concept.
On February 11, 2015, CEO Paul Mangiamele and his wife, Gwen, closed on a management buyout of the company from its parent private equity firm, for an undisclosed price. The new company, Legendary Restaurant Brands, LLC, is now 100% owner of the Bennigan's restaurant chain, its fast-casual concept Bennigan's On the Fly, and the Steak and Ale brand. As of December 2018, the Bennigan's website is offering potential franchisees the opportunity to "Own A Steak And Ale". | 6,123,293 |

Adrian Smith (basketball)
Adrian Howard "Odie" Smith (born October 5, 1936) is a retired American professional basketball player.
# Early life.
Smith was the fifth of six children of Oury and Ruth Smith of Farmington, Kentucky. The family lived in a farmhouse that had no electricity and no indoor plumbing. He was nicknamed "Odie" after a comedian on the Grand Ole Opry. As a child, he attended a three-room schoolhouse in rural Graves County, Kentucky. Because the family didn't have money for a basketball, he learned to shoot one his mother made from rolling up his dad's socks. He attended Farmington High School, where he nearly didn't play high school basketball until the school's principal/basketball | 6,123,294 |
7540019 | Adrian Smith (basketball) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrian%20Smith%20(basketball) | Adrian Smith (basketball)
coach agreed to give him a ride home (a distance of seven miles) after practices. As a senior, his only scholarship offer was from nearby Murray State University, but he took too long to accept and the offer was withdrawn.
# College career.
Smith enrolled to play basketball at Northeast Mississippi Junior College (now known as Northeast Mississippi Community College). After Smith excelled on the court, Northeast coach Bonner Arnold convinced legendary University of Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp to send a scout to see Smith, and UK offered a scholarship.
Smith didn't see much action his junior season until Kentucky's star guard, Vernon Hatton, went out with an appendectomy, and for seven games, | 6,123,295 |
7540019 | Adrian Smith (basketball) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrian%20Smith%20(basketball) | Adrian Smith (basketball)
Smith averaged 16.3 points. As a senior, Smith was a starter and averaged 12.4 points per game. The Wildcats' team, known as the "Fiddlin' Five", beat Seattle University 84-72 to win the 1957–58 national championship, led by 30 points from Hatton and 24 from Johnny Cox. Smith averaged just under 14 points in UK's four NCAA tourney wins, including seven in the championship game.
Smith graduated from Kentucky with a business degree.
# After college.
He was selected in the 1958 NBA draft, but not until the 15th round (85th overall) by the Cincinnati Royals. Instead of attempting to make the Royals, he joined the U.S. Army, where he played on the Army's all-star team and in 1960 was selected | 6,123,296 |
7540019 | Adrian Smith (basketball) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrian%20Smith%20(basketball) | Adrian Smith (basketball)
to play on the eventual undefeated U.S. men's basketball team that won the gold medal in the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. The team went 8-0 in the Olympics, led by future hall-of-famers Oscar Robertson, Jerry Lucas, and Jerry West, although in the opening win against host Italy, Smith was the team's co-leading scorer as Smith and Robertson each totaled 16 points. The team's average margin of victory in the eight games was 42.4 points per game.
# Professional career.
Smith began his professional career in the 1961–62 NBA season. During his first three seasons, he served as a backup guard behind Oscar Robertson and Bucky Bockhorn, averaging about 20 minutes per game with scoring averages of | 6,123,297 |
7540019 | Adrian Smith (basketball) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrian%20Smith%20(basketball) | Adrian Smith (basketball)
7.2, 8.9, and 9.4, respectively.
In his fourth season of 1964–65, he became a starter in the Royals' backcourt alongside Robertson. Playing over 34 minutes per game, he averaged 15.1 points per game, with a .456 field goal percentage and .830 free throw percentage.
The 1965–66 season was both his most productive and noteworthy. He averaged a career-high 18.4 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as the Royals went 45-35 and, in the Eastern Division semifinals, extended the Boston Celtics to a fifth and deciding game before falling to the eventual NBA champions. On December 15 he scored a career-high 34 points against the Celtics, and followed that up on January 5 with another career-high of 35 | 6,123,298 |
7540019 | Adrian Smith (basketball) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrian%20Smith%20(basketball) | Adrian Smith (basketball)
points. During the season, Smith was selected to the 1966 NBA All-Star Game and, surprisingly for a game that including sixteen future Hall-of-Famers, Smith was named MVP after he scored 24 points in 26 minutes. It was his only All-Star appearance, and for winning the MVP award, he received a new Ford Galaxie car.
In his sixth NBA season, 1966–67, Smith averaged 16.6 points per game and led the NBA with a .903 free throw percentage and, for the fourth time, the durable Smith led the league in games played. In 1967–68, Smith averaged 15.6 points per game in his last year as a starter. In 1968–69, playing primarily as a backup to Robertson and Tom Van Arsdale, Smith averaged 9.6 ponts per game.
