I.V.C. "1: Real Fight Tournament (Dan Severn)"
$2.99
This Vale Tudo event is just like the earliest UFC events. No gloves, no judges, no weight classes, no time limit, and no rounds. Only rules are no biting and no eye gouging. Also similar to the early UFC's is the fact that many of these fighters are not cross-trained like modern MMA atheletes. Unlike the UFC though, this event is held in a ring.

I.V.C. 1 is an 8-man tournament format. There's an alternate fight in addition to a Super-Fight involving Dan "The Beast" Severn. Other familiar faces in the tourney include Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge and Cal Worsham. Worsham is always a game competitor but lacks MMA technique. Big Daddy is tough as always but fights dirty in this tourney. Check out this event for some bare-knuckle nastiness.

$320.28
Charger works well, charges batteries in under 1 hour. I was impressed with the performance of the lithium ion battery. I noticed an increase in power, exteded run time, and consistant power output. Very glad I switched to LI. Charger also charges my current nicads as well.

Breaking and Riding: with Military Commentaries
$16.95
Perhaps a telling of the times, James Fillis' work seems to have generated a dedicated following of horsemen and women alike. His work has also generated dislike. I found myself in a mix between the two. While he certainly has ideas and methods that work and apply to the horse, there are many holes that seem to have left me feeling that the book in it's entirety was not as valuable as it was once disected. To me it had more in common with the training of Saddleseat horses, which is evident in his very manner of seat in the photographs, and to modern day competitive dressage, than to any form of "classical" riding. I think it is well worth reading for the history and understanding of how riding has come to be in modern times, but little value in absorbing for one's own riding advancement.
