**This is the 13th post in a lengthy series taken from my MMA blog. Be sure to check Fight Rankings for more in this series, which includes cumulative fight and fighter rankings from the first thirteen UFC events.**
In December 1995, some of the all time UFC greats competed in an all star, single night tournament called the Ultimate Ultimate. At the end of the night, it was Dan "The Beast" Severn who came away as the tournament champion. And now nearly one year later, we will be treated to a second Ultimate Ultimate event with even more of the greatest stars in UFC history.
That's right, it's the Ultimate Ultimate Ultimate!! Actually, this event is just called the Ultimate Ultimate 1996, as apparently three "ultimates" is overkill. I'm remiss to say that Dan Severn will not be back to defend his Ultimate Ultimate crown, but we'll still see some great action in this tournament.
After UFC 11, we know that Ken Shamrock, Don Frye, Tank Abbott, and Mark Coleman will be in action - however, one of these men will be forced to pull out of the tournament due to illness. The UFC seemed to be pushing for Shamrock vs. Abbott and Coleman vs. Frye in the semifinals, but those plans have immediately been thrown out.
There is still much up in the air, as we still don't know for sure what other fighters will fill out the field of eight. I can't drag this out any longer, I need me some Ultimate Ultimate!!
UFC Ultimate Ultimate 1996 – December 7, 1996
Previous Editions
The UFC is in Birmingham, Alabama for what is the thirteenth UFC pay-per-view. This event is actually at the Alabama State Fairgrounds, which is surely the most appropriate location for one of these early UFC shows. Where would you look to find people beating each other up inside of a steel cage in 1996? The Alabama State Fair sounds like a pretty good guess to me.
Bruce Beck informs us right away that the undefeated Mark Coleman has been forced to withdraw from this event due to "a virus", which is extremely disappointing. Jeff Blatnick is back, and it's good to know that his face is as round and his teeth are as fucked up as ever.
Blatnick does reveal that Kimo Leopoldo vs. Paul Varelans will be one of the opening round fights. It looks like Kimo vs. Coleman would have been a quarterfinal fight, which surely would have guaranteed Kimo's third straight loss in the UFC. Kimo has apparently lost 40 pounds while Varelans has gained 40-50 pounds of his own. Is there any way these two could fight to a draw? Brian Johnston and Cal Worsham will also be in action tonight.
Tony Blauer, who looks like a muscular Toby Flenderson, is now doing backstage interviews for the UFC. Blauer talks about how well-rounded the UFC fighters have become and how the sport is evolving towards fighters with multiple disciplines. Yeah, no shit Flenderson. It's not like Don Wilson, Tank Abbott, and Jeff Blatnick have all discussed this during previous UFC events.
Hey, somebody found some new fonts and backgrounds for MS Paint! The graphics actually aren't particularly exciting, but the fights certainly are. We've got Ken Shamrock vs. Brian Johnston, Tank Abbott vs. Cal Worsham, Don Frye vs. Gary Goodridge, and Kimo vs. Varelans.
Bruce Beck introduces "Big" John McCarthy, but interestingly says that McCarthy is refereeing his 90th "reality combat sport" event. It sounds like we're still in a period before the term "mixed martial arts" was really a part of the lexicon, so it's interesting to hear this alternate term. When I search for the term "reality combat sports", all I can really find are synopses for a Ratchet and Clank video game.
As usual, the UFC has jobbed us all by not airing three preliminary fights. Mark Hall defeated Felix Lee Mitchell, Steven Nwlmark choked out Marcus Bossett, and Tai Bowden defeated Jack Nilson with headbutts. I would love to see that win via headbutts, so I hope to at least see a highlight of this finish.
The very first quarterfinal match should be a big one: Brian Johnston will fight Ken Shamrock. Johnston has looked impressive in the past and should be an interesting opponent for Ken Shamrock. Johnston looks to have added some muscle to his already large frame. Shamrock is out and he looks as intense as ever making his way to the octagon.
We won't hear Rich Goins doing the announcing tonight, but there's no Bruce Buffer either. Manny Garcia will be handling the introductions, but I'm just glad that it's not Rich Goins. Garcia isn't big on eye contact or showmanship, but he does seem pretty intent on staring at his index cards. If I remember correctly, Garcia spent some time announcing in the WWE back in the mid-1990s.
Big John wastes no time and begins this fight. Johnston and Shamrock briefly exchange uneventful strikes before Shamrock lands the takedown. Shamrock manages to push Johnston against the cage and throws some heavy punches while standing over his opponent. Johnston tries to pull Shamrock close, but Shamrock is still able to pull back and throw a number of right hands.
Shamrock keeps a really wide base while continuing to throw right hands to Johnston's head. Johnston is forced back against the cage and is in a really bad spot. Shamrock is warned to keep his hands out of the fence, as apparently, that is a new rule in the UFC. We can thank Jerry Bohlander and Tank Abbott for that, as both fighters used the fence as part of their gameplans at UFC 11.
Three minutes in and Shamrock seems to have tired slightly, but he's still well in control of this fight. He's staying active with punches, but Johnston is doing his best to answer back with elbows and punches from the bottom. These blows don't seem to phase Shamrock, who now starts throwing lefts to Johnston's head.
Shamrock is using his head to push Johnston's head back against the cage, which can't feel very good. Shamrock manages to slip his forearm under Johnston's chin, almost undetected. Within seconds, Johnston is forced to tap out to Shamrock's forearm choke. Ken Shamrock is the winner of this fight at 5:49 and he advances to the tournament semifinals. Shamrock fought a very nice, very aggressive fight against a very dangerous opponent. This is perhaps the best that Shamrock has looked in many UFC events.
After some highlights of the finish, we go to the second semifinal fight which is a rematch between Don Frye and Gary Goodridge. These two fought in the finals of UFC 8 with Frye coming out on top. As Goodridge approaches the cage, one of his cornermen begins to slap Goodridge in the face. Considering he's 1-2 in the UFC and facing an opponent who has defeated before, Goodridge needs all the help he can get.
Don Frye makes his way to the cage and gets a nice hand from the crowd. This is the first time I've noticed Don Frye without wrestling shoes, as I believe he's worn them in previous fights. Perhaps we'll be seeing more kicks from the greatest American to ever live?
Before prefight introductions, Bruce Beck reveals that Ken Shamrock will not be continuing into the semifinals of the tournament. Little else is revealed, but we're told that Steve Nelmark will be the replacement. Very disappointing news, especially since we've been all looking forward to a potential Tank Abbott/Ken Shamrock fight.
As this fight begins, Goodridge rushes at Don Frye and gets caught by a right hand. Frye follows up by grabbing Goodridge's gi and moving to the clinch. Frye lands a knee that seems to do damage and forces his bigger opponent against the cage. Goodridge briefly reverses Frye against the age, but Frye escapes. He moves back to the clinch with Goodridge against the cage.
Frye and Goodridge trade a bit, with Frye utilizing knees to the body and some uppercuts while Goodridge lands some powerful rights to the head. Goodridge moves away from the cage and Frye lets go of the clinch. Gary Goodridge starts to taunt Frye, gesturing for Frye to hit him in the face. Frye briefly obliges and moves to the clinch again. "Big Daddy" has spent the early part of this fight with his back against the fence and he's not doing a lot of damage. He'll really have to change things up if he wants to win this fight.
Goodridge attempts to control Frye's head, but he's not doing much of anything. He throws a two or three punch combo here or there, but Frye is consistently busy with knees to the body and punches to the head. Frye is grabbing onto Goodridge's gi around the collar and lands with some nice uppercuts to the head. Frye's striking seems to be very efficient and effective, while Goodridge is swinging wildly and with little positive consequence.
Despite his efforts to control Frye by holding his head, Gary Goodridge is having little success. Frye is consistently landing uppercuts and knees and he would have to be ahead on the judges scorecard. Out of nowhere, Goodridge is able to take Frye down from the clinch and moves to side control. Almost immediately, Goodridge is warned about putting his fingers in the cage. Goodridge is actually grabbing the fence more than anything, as his occasional weak punches to the head and body barely constitute offense. Goodridge lands maybe one worthwhile punch, but has very little success in such a dominant position.
Goodridge is using short headbutts that appear to do little damage, and Frye readjusts which forces Goodridge into full guard. Goodridge seems to spend his time resting in guard, but Frye finds an opening and attempts an armbar. The attempt is quickly thwarted by Goodridge who returns to full guard where he seems interested in taking a nap.
We're ten minutes in and it's obvious that Goodridge is exhausted, as his offense is just about nonexistent from this point. We'll see a single punch every thirty seconds and that's all. Frye fails with another armbar attempt and ends up giving his back to Goodridge. Good thing for Frye that Goodridge is exhausted and can't do a thing with it. Frye quickly grabs a leg and pulls his opponent to the mat, prompting Goodridge to immediately tap out. "Big Daddy" is so exhausted that the mere thought of spending time on his back is enough for the Canadian to call it quits.
To anyone who fights Gary Goodridge in the future: he will wear himself out after about three or four minutes. That this fight went more than 11 minutes is surprising. Big John confirms the submission was due to "exhaustion", which is so far winning the most obvious statement of the day contest.
Tank Abbott and Cal Worsham will be the third quarterfinal fight. Cal Worsham specializes in taekwondo, while Tank's fighting style is "punch you in the face until you can't continue." Actually, we know that Tank is a bit of a wrestler, but cardio limitations have kept Tank from higher levels of success.
That said, Tank is now billed at 273 pounds, which appears to be considerably less than at prior events. Tank is looking pretty svelte, especially compared to his appearance at UFC 11. Jeff Blatnick says Tank was dealing with a knee injury at that event that prevented him from training as needed, which explains a lot.
Worsham and Abbott briefly trade punches to start the fight, but Abbott quickly attempts a slam. Worsham illegally grabs the cage for protection, which Big John does little to halt. Worsham throws some punches while hoisted high against the cage which allows Tank to land the slam. Abbott quickly moves past guard into side control. Tank appears to consider some kind of leg submission, but loses position and goes back to guard.
Tank seems to be taking his time while on top, patiently waiting for his opening. Worsham is doing his best to throw punches off of his back but has little success. Tank isn't throwing a whole lot from the top, but lands some nice punches...and Worsham taps? It's unclear what happened, but Worsham's tap out may be due to position or frustration. It didn't seem like Tank was doing enough to stop the fight, but Worsham felt the need to submit.
Immediately after the fight is stopped, Worsham pops up and starts to cause a stink. He cusses out Tank and screams that he should be disqualified. The dialogue between Worsham and Big John consists of Worsham yelling "DISQUALIFY HIM" and McCarthy yelling back "KNOCK IT OFF."
Apparently, Worsham is upset about Tank throwing some punches after he had already tapped out. The replay shows that as Big John separates the fighters, Tank throws in one last left to the head for good measure. It definitely appears to be a good bit late, but is it enough to warrant disqualification? I think Worsham's egregious grabbing of the cage during the fight was worse than Tank's extra strikes.
The fourth and final quarterfinal match pits Kimo and Paul Varelans. It's clarified that Kimo is actually the replacement for Mark Coleman and not Paul Varelans. How on earth would Varelans/Coleman be the preferred quarterfinal fight over Kimo/Coleman? I would have loved to see Kimo vs. Coleman, if only to see Kimo flailing on his back after being taken down by "The Hammer."
Kimo has lost a bit of weight and is at 235 pounds, while Varelans has eaten a small child since we've last seen him and weighs in at 340 pounds. That's exactly what Varelans needed to do to be more competitive in the UFC - not improve his skills, but gain a lot of weight. Then again, it's possible that Varelans has improved. He wasn't much of a fighter to begin with and has nowhere to go but up.
Bruce Beck reveals a lot about Paul Varelans prior to the fight. First, he alleges Varelans is the "Rodney Dangerfield of the UFC", as he doesn't get any respect. Perhaps that comes from the fact that he's just a gigantic turd who wouldn't be in the UFC if he wasn't 6'8" and 300 pounds.
Beck also claims that nobody will train with Varelans as, according to Varelans himself, trainers fear what would happen if such a big man became very skilled. It's not like Paul Varelans is some kind of robot you worry about gaining sentience and turning on you. What kind of ridiculous idea excuse is that? It's more likely that people won't train with Paul Varelans because he doesn't listen or work well with others.
Kimo is looking very good at 235 pounds. He looks extremely cut at that weight, which might benefit Kimo if he wants to advance deep in the tournament. It's amazing to think that Varelans outweights Kimo by more than 100 pounds, but you can't discount how fat Paul Varelans really is.
On with the fight. Kimo immediately lunges for a takedown, but big fat Paul sprawls and begins punching Kimo in the head. Kimo stands out of the position and pushes Varelans back against the cage. Kimo is basically bear-hugging Varelans and not mounting any offense while getting punched in the head. Kimo unsuccessfully tries a trip and ends up with Varelans on top of him, but Kimo escapes that position.
Kimo continues holding Varelans against the cage, but he seems really intent on the idea of taking Varelans down. Kimo attempts to throw Varelans, but Varelans is too heavy and ends up on top of Kimo in half-guard. Varelans appears to be smothering Kimo, putting all of his weight on the Hawaiian while throwing punches.
Kimo adjusts which moves Varelans back to full guard. Kimo unsuccessfully attempts an armbar and spends a significant amount of time being punched by Varelans, who opens up a cut just above Kimo's left eye. Kimo is trying to control Varelans' wrists to keep from being punched and he has some success. Varelans is still able to land some strikes, but he appears to have slowed down due to fatigue. Kimo is even able to land some big strikes from the bottom while Varelans throws strikes become lumbering and ineffective.
At the seven minute mark, Paul Varelans is out of gas. He'll occasionally throw a strike, but there's nothing behind his punches. Kimo seems interested in reversing or escaping, but Varelans' weight appears to be too difficult to move. Varelans ends up getting too high in guard and perhaps even falls asleep on top of Kimo - it's difficult to tell at this point.
With Varelans pinned against the cage, Kimo ends up in some kind of modified mount position. It's like full mount, but at an angle given Varelans' size and position. Kimo begins to throw some big punches that go unanswered by Varelans. It doesn't take long for Big John to step in and stop the fight in Kimo's favor. Varelans didn't seem to have any interest in defending himself, so Big John was smart to stop the fight.
Both men appear to be completely spent after this fight, which doesn't bode well for Kimo's chances of advancing in the tournament. It doesn't seem that losing 30 or 40 pounds has done much to prevent Kimo from getting completely blown up after a single fight, but I guess it didn't help having a 340 pound monster lay on top of him for five or six minutes. As of now, the semifinals feature Steve Nelmark vs. Tank Abbott and Don Frye vs. Kimo.
Strangely enough, Big John is interviewed backstage about the last two fights. He doesn't reveal anything particularly interesting, but confirms that Cal Worsham was upset about a cheap shot from Tank Abbott after the tap out. We then get to see some footage of Steve Nelmark's earlier submission win over Marcus Bossett. It looks like Nelmark made quick work of Bossett with a takedown, some headbutts, and then some kind of arm choke for the win.
But now it's time for the first semifinal between Steve Nelmark and Tank Abbott. Nelmark and Tank are around the same height, while Nelmark is only about 20-25 pounds less than Tank. He's a karate practitioner, but Tank is a fat dude who likes to indiscriminately punch others. To me, this is a push.
There's no sign of Tito Ortiz in Tank's corner tonight, but there are a couple of dweeby looking guys in the crowd taunting Tank. For those who can't read them, the signs say "HEY TANK, don't hurt your hand when you're TAPPING" and "HEY TANK, get beat by any alternates lately?" Snarky, dorky, hardcore MMA fans from 1996 are terrifying. If you combine every MMA Underground and Sherdog forum post, turn them into two people, and send them back in time 15 years, this is what you get.
Nelmark and Abbott are slow to approach, but Tank lands a quick punch that staggers Nelmark. Tank pursues Nelmark as he backs away, holding him against the cage. Tank picks Nelmark up and scores with a huge slam. Unlike Cal Worsham, Nelmark doesn't find the need to cheat by grabbing the fence.
Nelmark quickly grabs Abbott's head, but Tank abandons the ground and stands back up. Tank is swinging like a maniac and Nelmark has no clue how to stop this. He tries to grab Tank by his head, but it does no good. Nelmark covers up, but Tank is pounding him with heavy punches. Nelmark is staggered on a couple of occasions and is not doing well.
Nelmark is running backwards, perhaps forgetting that there is a cage on all sides of him to prevent escape. Steve Nelmark has just realized that he is stuck inside of a cage with an angry, nasty man who is trying to kill him. This man is desperately finding a way to survive against a very dangerous opponent.
But things can't go that bad, right? After all, Tank Abbott and Steve Nelmark are both human beings. And let's not forget that Nelmark is a capable fighter with a karate background who already has a win tonight. He may be in a bit of trouble, but he can find a way out of it.
Okay, so I think Tank Abbott killed Steve Nelmark. I think we just saw the first death in the octagon. Tank pulverized Nelmark with a huge right hand and hurled his opponent to the mat. Steve Nelmark is bent in ways that the human body doesn't usually allow. Doctors tend to Nelmark as Tank is declared the winner of the fight (duh).
Cameras are avoiding Nelmark and they've yet to show a replay of what is surely the most brutal knockout in the history of the UFC to this point. Jeff Blatnick clarifies that Nelmark just got his legs pinned under him and is bent against the fence, since many fans probably feel like they just witnessed a man die. Thankfully, Nelmark is back on his feet and is not deceased. Now that we know Nelmark is safe, the UFC can show replays!
For the second semifinal fight, Kimo is officially and unsurprisingly out and Mark Hall will take his place against Don Frye. Mark Hall seems a little too loose when he gets to the cage. He's shadow boxing, having a laugh with Big John, and doing some over the top pose when he's introduced. Does he remember their previous UFC fight, where Frye won via TKO. Or maybe he doesn't remember their U-Japan fight, where Frye choked him out. Hall has never seemed like the brightest fighter and this just confirms it.
Here's the entire fight recap in one sentence: Frye scores a takedown, grabs Hall's ankle, and forces him to tap out to an ankle lock. Frye didn't use very much energy there, tapping Hall out in a matter of twenty seconds. Hall appears to be in a significant amount of pain, having significant difficulty standing on his own. For some reason, Paul Varelans comes out to help Mark Hall leave the cage. If this was professional wrestling, Varelans would turn on Hall to set up a big money feud. That, unfortunately, doesn't happen.
The UFC couldn't have been happy with Shamrock and Coleman both missing out on the semifinals here, but they must be thrilled with the final match. Don Frye and Tank Abbott are two of the biggest stars in the UFC. It should also be fairly competitive, since Tank has only spent four minutes fighting thus far. He hasn't been in any danger and might have an easier time keeping up with Frye.
As he enters the cage, Jeff Blatnick summarizes Tank's fighting style by saying "[he] likes to punch people in the head." Jeff Blatnick: astute analyst. Bruce Beck says the winner here will get $150,000, and I can only hope that the UFC harkens back to days of yore with a giant novelty check.
Both men approach the center of the cage - and Tank lands a big left hand! Frye is staggered and drops to the mat, but Frye recovers and is back to his feet! Abbott continues to assault Frye with big punches as Frye tries to move around the cage and avoid Tank's power. Frye is landing strong punches of his own, but Tank seems to be getting the best of these exchanges.
These two are trading heavy shots and doing some serious damage! Frye moves in for the clinch, but Tank lands a big uppercut to back Frye off. Frye clinches again but is getting pounded by Tank Abbott. Frye tries to back Tank against the cage, but Tank slips! Frye quickly takes Tank's back and is working for a rear naked choke! Tank appears to twist Frye's ankle in an attempt to break the hold, but it isn't working.
Frye has been bloodied by Tank's attack and his face is looking bad, but he sinks in the choke! Tank realizes he has nowhere to go and taps out! Don Frye withstood the heavy offense of Tank Abbott and benefited a bit from luck, but he has submitted the Tank to win the Ultimate Ultimate 1996.
The fight lasted less than 90 seconds, but that was as dramatic a fight as there has been in the UFC. Tank Abbott seemed to be in control and landed some big shots, but Frye hung in there and took advantage when Tank slipped to the mat. Frye was bloodied badly, but kept his cool and took advantage of the one big mistake made by Tank.
On the replay, it looks like Frye used the cage to pull himself onto Tank's back but Big John didn't see that happen. Given how little the fence grabbing rules was enforced, I doubt it would have mattered had Big John noticed.
In the post fight interview, Frye admits that his strategy of not getting hit by Tank failed pretty much right away. Frye gives a lot of credit to Tank for being a great fighter and speculates that he may have broken his hand while punching Tank. Frye says he's been working on his submissions and that paid off for him tonight. Jeff Blatnick reveals that Don Frye will be fighting Dan Severn next, surprising since these men are training partners. I can only hope that conniving Greg Jackson goes back in time and works his magic to get these two in the cage!
Tony Blauer interviews Tank Abbott, who is obviously displeased with the result of the fight. Tank says winning and losing doesn't matter much, since he might "have a cocktail and maybe get in another fight tonight." Tank says he doesn't respect Don Frye, but that's just because he doesn't respect anybody.
With that, the second Ultimate Ultimate has come to a close. The bad news is there was no novelty check presented to Frye after the win. The worse news is that this is the last time we'll ever see Don Frye fight in the UFC. After this event, Frye will fight at a smaller MMA event before moving on to the world of professional wrestling, something I'll be discussing in another post. Nonetheless, it makes me sad to know that Don Frye's days in the UFC are done.
In a way, this event is perhaps the end of an era for the UFC. In 1997, the UFC will work to introduce weight classes and new rules to protect fighters while working against mounting political opposition. Many familiar faces are also leaving the UFC. Ken Shamrock won't be back to the UFC for another five years as he also will be moving on to pro wrestling. Gary Goodridge and Kimo will be taking extended leaves from the promotion, while UFC staple Paul Varelans is gone from the UFC for good.
The Ultimate Ultimate 1996 seemed like an average event, but Don Frye and Tank Abbott closed out this chapter of the UFC with an outstanding fight. The Ultimate Ultimate 1996 didn't disappoint, if only on the strength of a thrilling finals contest. Going forward, it's disappointing to see the landscape of the UFC changing, but these changes are all necessary for the evolution of the UFC to continue. UFC 12 will likely be a very different event, but I'm looking forward to seeing the impact of changes made in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

I highly recommend the paint store! My entire house (and my sisters house) is covered with "the paint store" paint. That Ash Family really knows their paint!!!! Great Article!
Best Paint Store St. Louis 2010 - Paint Supply Co.
3504 S. Grand Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63118
Paint Supply Co. already has a pretty plain name, but those who frequent it tend to simplify that even further: the paint store. It's that essential. The Ash family has operated out of this old-school building in Tower Grove South for more than half a century, and even though they're crowded on one side by big-box home-improvement stores and on the other by stores connected to the biggest paint companies (Benjamin Moore, Glidden), no one can match Paint Supply Co. for quality, price and especially friendliness. For those who haven't settled on a color, the store carries the full spectrum of Devoe paints, but if your heart's set on this season's hottest color from one of the big boys, the store has a computer to match the color precisely — for a more reasonable price. You won't be compromising on quality, either, because the base paints at Paint Supply Co. are topnotch, be they matte, eggshell or semi-gloss. Not sure what you need? That's when Paint Supply Co. really shines: This staff knows paint, and they will guide you to what you need efficiently but kindly. Of course, Paint Supply Co. provides all the other stuff, too: brushes, drop cloths, rollers and more. Even after one visit, you'll find yourself dropping the uppercase letters. There is only one paint store, and this is it.

THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) - Two men remain in the Thomas County Jail Thursday charged with a combined 17 drug and firearms offenses.
Police got a tip that Charles Burke and William Harper would be delivering meth to the Comfort Inn in Thomasville.
Drug agents say when they showed up, a startled Burke dropped a large bottle in which meth was mixing.
They found two loaded guns in Harper's truck and a lot of drugs. "We then found over 93 pills of Xanax, numerous hydrocodone, numerous diazepam, numerous components they were using to manufacture the meth and also finish the meth," said Narcotics Commander Kevin Lee.
Burke is charged with meth possession, manufacturing meth, unlawful possession of ephedrine, firearm use by a convicted felon in the commission of a crime, possession of hydrocodone with intent to distribute, Diazepam possession with intent to distribute, alprazolam possession with intent to distribute, and misdemeanor marijuana possession.
Harper is charged with the same offenses in addition to firearm possession by a convicted felon. Both suspects were denied bond.

The optimists among them good-naturedly called it an opportunity to discover new parts of the city, and be discovered in turn, but the cynics called out the 5th edition of the Chennai Rainbow Pride March for what it was - a low-visibility affair.
"It's a transgender parade," women from the nearby slum decided, watching from a safe distance the cultural programme that marked the end of the parade on Langs Garden Road. That the parade was a coalition of several sexual and gender minorities like lesbians, gays and transsexuals was a subtlety lost on the crowd. Yet the women watching decided that the participants of the parade ought to be treated fairly and compassionately. Perhaps the parade, in its new location, was not just preaching to the choir after all.

Mongo's Adventures in Washington D.C.
Last week, Mongo received a letter in the mail. It looked pretty important so he quickly opened it up. It was on a very fancy letterhead from the White House! It read:
Dear Mongo,
We would love it if you could come and meet with us at the White House during the Association of Competitive Technology (ACT) Fly-in.
The White House
Mongo got so excited and started to dance. He quickly packed his bags, and got on a plane from San Francisco to Washington DC. It was a long flight, but Mongo had plenty of games on the iPad including his latest favorite app, iLuv Drawing People, so he can doodle for a good 5 hours!
On Monday, Mongo will be visiting the White House, and then on Tuesday, Mongo will be visiting the House of Representatives and the Senate. He will be meeting with Congress to protect children's privacy on mobile, and get some more spectrum so we can have faster download speeds on our smartphones.
On Wednesday, Mongo might actually join forces with Batman to fight the Pirates from China!

6" Boiler Exhaust w/ 5" chimney liner. how bad is this? (25 Posts)
DB77 June 19, 2013 @ 2:32 PM
Contact this user
6Last year I had a chimney company inspect all three flues in my triple flue chimney. They determined that the main flue which my oil boiler ties into had corroded and offset tiles. They reccomended dropping a stainless steel liner down the flue. I had them do the work and it ended uo costing $1600 for a 5' 40 foot ss liner.
The work was done last August. I live in New England in a 2300 sq foot colonial built in 1999. After the install I spent about $3500 on 950 gallons of oil to heat the home. This seemed kind of exhorbitant to me so I started looking into having a pellet boiler installed to save some money.
Long story short I will be getting the pellet boiler installed but in the process of preparing for this I had a different chimeny company come out to put in a liner for that boiler and while they were there they looked at the other liner which is a 5" and told me that it should have been at least a 6" because the oil boiler exhaust pipe is a 6"
So my question is how much efficiency am I losing by going from 6" on the boiler to a 5" liner up a 40 foot stack? Did I likely waste a lot of money this past winter on heating costs due to the chimeny company's not using the right size liner? How would you go about addressing this issue?
Thanks guysThis post was edited by an admin on June 19, 2013 2:36 PM.

Pellet boilerSizing requirements and flue specifications will be in the boiler installation manual. Solid fuel boilers may require a different type of flue.

liner capacityIt is legal to bush down the vent pipe to fit the chimney liner IF the liner can handle the BTU input of the appliance.
Measure the height and lateral of the liner and using the chart that came with the liner figure out if it can vent the total output of the appliances.
I have done this before and all the inspector wanted was proof of it.
Restricting the vent pipe will increase efficiency as long as the appliance is burning clean. Not the other way around.This post was edited by an admin on June 21, 2013 11:49 PM.

To Answer Your QuestionThe liner should have been 6"."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price."
TonyS June 23, 2013 @ 7:10 PM

Steve is correctLiner capacity is based on vertical length, diameter and horizontal distance . Also based on natural or induced draft. It is best to install the proper size liner and not just use what the manufacturer welded to the top of the boiler.
You will notice manufacturers will use the same size flue outlet on several of the same series boilers before jumping to the next size.
So I am not saying yours is correct but it very well could be.
Give us the length of the chimney and the length of the horizontal flue and the input of the boiler and we will tell you if the 5 inch is large enough.

Chart is incompleteAccording to that chart if I were to install a Buderus 115 ws, I would need to increase the 5 inch factory collar to 6 inch.
Obviously Buderus feels comfortable firing 1.10 gph into a 5 inch outlet.

codeThe IRC requires the liner be the same size as the appliance collar or larger. That would start at 6". However, if this is a flexible liner, you would have to de-rate it 20% for corrugated plus 20% if it offsets. Having said that, you may get an AHJ to sign off on a downsized liner IF the mfr. says its ok. Same as whether or not to use a barometric damper. They are required for oil unless the mfr. specifically forbids them on oil.
That chart was for CAT I gas and says do not use if the connector has the restriction of a vent damper or draft regulator.
Oil liners must be stainless steel. They are not required to be insulated but mfrs. always recommend it. It is considered a good practice for exterior chimneys.
The sizing charts in the NFPA 31 Annex are not part of the code and just FYI. Honestly a smaller liner usually does fine but you must test and just understand that if the liner gunks up with soot, it may backpuff and the ensuing litigation would hang you out to dry.
A slightly undersized liner has nothing appreciable to do with efficiency. Unless the liner is blocked and the house sooted up, it really isn' t that much of a factor on efficiency.

EfficiencyBOB - air flow through a heating appliance directly effects the efficiency.
Yes even with a draft control a bigger liner than is needed would cause less backpressure ( more draft ) and thus more airflow. Years ago when I was converting furnaces and boilers from oil to gas we had to use a oxygen analyzer to see how far we could block the flue outlet to hold the heat inside.
You need to use the chart that came with the liner ( or get one from the manufacturer ) to see what size is needed for a given BTU.
Here in MI you can bush down the appliance outlet to fit the liner IF the liner can flow the total BTU input of the connected appliances.This post was edited by an admin on June 23, 2013 9:52 PM.

efficiency?A draft regulator such as a barometric damper is adjusted to maintain a certain measured draft pressure. Changing the size of the baro. does not in and of itself change draft pressure.
Yes, efficiency is affected by airflow through the appliance but we're talking about the liner, which is not always the same thing. As long as you have a consistent draft pressure in the vent and it is not blocked physically or by a high draft induced "curtain effect" such as seen with some draft hoods, a rather consistent amt. of excess air will flow through the burner compartment and thus not change the combustion efficiency. The efficiency of the appliance itself, too remains essentially unchanged as long as their is a steady draft pressure prior to the draft regulator and there is positive flow up the chimney/ vent. Once you have the venting under control, you can look to firing and heat transfer to possibly improve efficiency. Personally, I'd be more concerned about the pump speed/ delta T than the venting and how the burner is set up. An underfired burner will cost you a lot more in oil than any minor change in chimney liner diameter.
I have been advocating combustion analysis here for years. I didn't mention it I guess because I've grown weary of repeating advice that really shouldn't need to be stated over and over. You set up the appliance by full combustion analysis once you have been certified to do it. That includes more than just the O2 reading but yes, you read O2 and don't worry about CO2 as we were all lead to follow for years.
If the liner is slightly oversized but still a thin-walled metallic liner, it should heat up quickly to establish a strong draft pressure. A grossly oversized flue or an high mass masonry flue that has cooled down since the last firing, will rob BTUs as it tries to dry out and warm up as well as trying to push that push-pop slug of cold dense air up out of the flue to establish positive flow. Notice I didn't say "draft" which is a mis-used term.
I find it interesting in the land of regulation that Mass. would allow a bending of the national codes on this. How do they determine the BTU capacity of an oil liner? If by charts, which? If by performance, by which method to what standard? Just curious.

Appendix E of NFPA 31Bob, you are correct that the Appendix is "not a part of the code". That said, over the years I've talked to many people and been involved in many installs where the sizing in Appendix E worked perfectly. Many of those used 4" liners or pellet vent.
These tables were initially put together by Rich Krajewski and John Strasser at Brookhaven. I think they should have been adopted in '93 or '94 when first presented, and when I was on 31 I voted for them. Instead, 20 yrs later we still do not have lining standards for oil. The code says it must be the same size as the breaching. Not much science that I can see behind that rote statement. It's just the way it has always been.

linerI came across an es2 burnham a little while ago.It was 5" exhaust with a six inch liner.The draft on the boiler was tremendous.On the burners you could only see a orange flame.Called local burnham rep and explained.He explained how important it is to size your liner and that the chimney in this case was oversized.Homeowner had liner changed to 5" and burner ran with a perfect flame.It was a good lesson for me in the future.

Strictly from a non-professionalpoint of view, I might add -- based on experience -- that if one has a big enough, tall enough stack which is nice and warm, unless you have both a barometric damper and a draft regulator on the boiler (talking oil here) the draught up the stack may be enough to keep the burner from lighting off at all at times -- just pulls the poor little flame right off the burner. Fun to watch, but a bit annoying... (stack in question is a 9 by 12 tile in double brick masonry chimney, som4 40 feet tall... originally sized for a 5.5 gph Quiet May burner).Jamie

linerToo large of a flue also causes a higher loss of heated building air. Having to adjust the draft diverter to a more open setting because the liner is TOO large and creates too much draft just puts more heated room air up the chimney. A properly sized liner doesn't waste heated room air. It is kind of like installing too big of a pump and then controlling the flow with a circuit setter. Waste of energy.
A properly sized liner will make it easier to adjust the burner and draft.
Too large of a liner WILL effect efficiency

Mass code says if it will handle the btuload you can go down one size. If it is 15 feet tall it may not work but if it is 30 feet tall it may be fine. The charts are in the code books there is no guessing.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

Does that go for Gas and oil?Is there a difference in btu capacity between gas and oil?

It goes for oil and for gasthey each have their own code book though. a BTU is a BTU. The size of the liner is different for power burners of a given BTU versus an atmospheric vented burner.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

Watching the incomparable Ndamukong Suh last night, I got to thinking-- what if our Oline struggles are caused by not their size, but their height and wingspan?
I haven't looked into this too thoroughly, but if there's enough interest, I was going to see if the average height of a defender has increased in the last few years. As we all know, Dumervil is a short lineman with incredible wingspan, and that gives him leverage. Maybe our blockers are being kept at bay by the ever growing tentacles of new defensive linemen? Jarvis Moss is 6 foot 7 (Holliday and McBean are both 6' 5"), and the only linemen that are that tall are tackles, who aren't specifically creating a surge in a dive play. Most of our guards and centers on the roster are 6' 2 or 6' 4". That's a lot of inches to give away in the trenches.
Just some food for thought.

Neil Patrick Harris
At one point, How I Met Your Mother star and Glee guest star Neil Patrick Harris seemed destined to be remembered solely for his iconic child role in the television series Doogie Howser, M.D., for which he earned a Golden Globe nomination in 1989. Not that being remembered for the now-beloved dramedy would have been the worst fate in the world, but boy, has he ever proven any naysayers wrong and transcended that role! Following that part, he turned to theatre, where his Broadway roles included starring in Proof opposite Anne Heche, Cabaret opposite Deborah Gibson, and in the revival of Stephen Sondheim's controversial Assassins. He also appeared in a number of made-for-TV movies and co-starred with Tony Shaloub in the short-lived sitcom Stark Raving Mad. But the role that would thrust him back into the spotlight was that of... himself. He played an exaggerated, libidinous version of himself in the stoner comedy Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, and his hilarious performance put him back on the map. From there, he was cast as womanizing Barney on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother — for which he's earned three Emmy nominations — and has been pretty much unstoppable ever since. Neil has since hosted the Tony and Emmy awards, starred in Joss Whedon's Emmy Award-winning musical web series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and has voiced characters in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and the upcoming film version of The Smurfs. An '80s icon doing voice work for a beloved '80s cartoon — how fitting!
Random factoid: Neil made a surprise appearance at the 2010 Academy Awards by performing the opening musical number. Is there anything the man can't do?

News: Jay-Z Credits Dame Dash & Talks Clothing Brand, "Our Goal Is To Make Rocawear A $1 Billion Company"
Monday, Nov 30, 2009 1:40PM
Jay-Z recently discussed the motivation behind his successful Rocawear clothing line and credited his former associate Damon "Dame" Dash for building the company's foundation.
While Dame initially laid the groundwork in 1999, Hov said he has taken the brand to new heights.
"Dame did a great job when he was here," Hov said in an interview. "I just feel that I have a different way of running things, which I think is working out well. I let people make mistakes, and push them to be creative. I let a design team design. When they feel good about something they have created, it makes them want to do more. It makes them want to do their best. People are happy here. I'm not a controlling manager and I have a great team that makes me confident that things can run well when I'm on the road, and I'm proud of that...Our goal is to make Rocawear a $1 billion company," he said. "It may take us more time than we would like since the economy is in the shape that it's in, but I'm confident that we will get there." (Women's Wear Daily)
Former Roc-A-Fella artist Beanie Sigel recently accused Dash and Jay of shady business practices with Rocawear and his own clothing line, State Property.
"The clothing line that I had, I had 20 percent of State Property clothing, it's me, Jay, Dame [Dash] and the two other Russians that had the Rocawear owned State Property because I gave them an idea, pitched it to Dame at the time -- [Dame] was taking all the money from Rocawear and putting it into all his little companies, he did the same thing to State Property." (Power 99 FM)
Speaking in one of the video trailers for Rocawear's 10th Anniversary, Memphis Bleek opened up about his first run-in with Hov's brand.
"Where was I when I first heard of Rocawear?," Bleeks says in the video. "We was on the Hard Knock Life Tour and Dame Dash and Jay and them brought out some blue denim jean jackets with the gold, original Rocafella 'R.' I have a copy of one in my house still. So I say, we were on tour when I first heard about it and my most memorable Rocawear moment, had to be in Africa. The Africa photoshoot, that was over the top." (Rocawear 10th Anniversary Campaign)
Jay previously spoke about working with Spike Lee for the clothing line's 10th Anniversary advertisement last September.
"The commercial is about Rocawear, what we meant to the culture and the aspiration to maintain and be around for 10 years," Jay revealed in an interview. "So this guy, he's in advertisement, and he's in Rocawear, and he goes through the day as if he's Jay-Z. He looks out the window, in his mind -- because he's aspiring to make his own Rocawear -- there's a group of people outside and they're waving to him. As he walks away, reality sets in. Someone looks out the window, and no one's out there. He gets on the elevator, and he's thinking people are asking him for autographs; no one's there. He's on his way to building his empire, but he has Rocawear on, and that's a start. So he feels as if he's successful already...Spike Lee is one of the most important directors of our time...He gave us a voice and perspective in Do the Right Thing that touched on racial relations in Brooklyn and all these movies we grew up on that were so important to our growth."

OXFORD, Miss. (AP/WATE) -- Ole Miss has suspended guard Marshall Henderson indefinitely for a violation of team rules.
The school issued a press release Wednesday announcing the suspension but it did not provide details why Henderson was suspended.
Various national media outlets, including ESPN.com, are reporting Henderson's suspension is for multiple failed drug tests.
The 6-foot-2 senior from Hurst, Texas, averaged 20.1 points per game last season. He helped the Rebels win the SEC tournament championship and advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002.
But the flamboyant guard also was known for his abrasive personality, and he quickly became the player opposing teams loved to hate.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said in a statement that Henderson "must do a better job of living up to the high standard we expect from him and he desires from himself."

News: Quincy Jones Puts Diddy On Blast? Music Mogul Clears The Air
Wednesday, Jun 27, 2012 10:13PM
Music icon Quincy Jones reportedly took a few swipes at fellow entertainment mogul Diddy this week at an industry event in Hollywood, California.
According to reports, Jones put Diddy on blast for venturing too far outside of the music industry.
Quincy Jones isn't a fan of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Jones was the guest of honor at the Spotify Stories Behind the Music event held at the Andaz Hotel in Hollywood, Calif., Tuesday (June 26) where he spoke with host, Bruno Mars about his legendary career and creative process. Noting that he found his way into the industry to escape the criminal activity that surrounded him, the 79-year-old later lashed out at Diddy, who he said "couldn't recognize a b flat if it hit him." Jones went on to state that the Hip-Hop mogul's strengths have nothing to do with music. "P. Diddy has a doctorate in marketing, he's got clothes companies, and Ciroc vodka." he said. (Hip Hop Wired)
Despite the report, Jones has since come forward to deny intentionally going at Puff's neck.
"No controversy, no diss. I have nothing but love and respect for Diddy and all that he has achieved as an artist and an executive. Always have and always will." (Statement)
Last month, Mr. Combs boasted about landing atop Forbes' annual hip-hop list.
"I'm usually at No. 1," Diddy said in an interview. "Our plan was to always flip-flop on it. This was the year I told him that we had to flop it back to its original owner. We push each other, we inspire each other. It's just a beautiful relationship of natural competitiveness. But you know, it's back at Bad Boy." (Hot 97)
Forbes editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg recently said Puff's Ciroc Vodka brand has helped elevate him over his peers.
"Number one is Diddy at $550 million. He's number one, far and away from everybody else mainly because of Ciroc," editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg said in an interview. "He's got this incredible deal backed by beverage giant, Diageo. He gets a huge cut of profits and he's entitled to a split in profits of any sale of the brand. Second up we have Jay-Z. Jay-Z's one of the only artists whose making a lot of music actively. He released Watch the Throne last year -- so Jay-Z's right up there." (Forbes)

Bahahahahahahahaha! Back in my freakin-in-the-backseat days, I kept a nice supply of wet wipes on hand. Of course, that was two people instead of one--a bigger mess--and not as easy to dispose of because I am against littering. However, a nice little baggie that was easily hidden under the seat served as a trash disposal until I could throw it away later. And isn't it funny how I am having no problem sharing my "How to clean up after sex in the backseat" story with you...hmmm, I'll shut up now.ReplyDelete
I... think I just threw up in my mouth a bit. And I'm a dude.ReplyDelete

(Washington-AP) March 18, 2007 - Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the US military's role in Iraq is to buy time for a political reconciliation among Iraqis.
Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," Gates says a House bill that includes a deadline for a troop withdrawal ignores the "circumstances on the ground" and could make it impossible for military commanders to do their work.
National Security adviser Stephen Hadley takes the argument a step further. He tells ABC's "This Week" that the September 2008 deadline is arbitrary and a premature withdrawal could turn Iraq into a "safe haven for terrorists."
But Senator John Kerry says the time has come for Iraqis to assume responsibility for their own security. Noting that the US invasion began four years ago, the Massachusetts Democrat says the timetable should not be called a "precipitous withdrawal." Kerry appeared on Fox News Sunday.

Single Instance Storing automatically archives only one instance of a document that has been saved multiple times. Archive Manager Files Edition checks whether identical files have already been saved by means of Single Instance Method (MD5 check sum logic). This avoids multiple versions of the same file and significantly reduces storage space. Authorized users can still access and edit the document as usual.
Parallel archiving of files onto many storage devices provides high availability and functions primarily as a backup file system. Should a file server malfunction, the effortless restore functionality of Archive Manager Files Edition allows an administrator to retrieve archived files to a target server. File restoration jobs are easily managed from the archive to the MS-System File Server.
Metalogix Archive Manager Files Edition is the leading file archive software for the mid-market and delivers the enterprise class solution you need, without the complexity. It connects to overworked file servers and re-directs documents onto separate, more cost-effective storage tiers. The file archiving solution controls how long messages are archived in accordance with industry, government, and internal regulations.
File archiving jobs can be set for pre-determined times. The IT Administrator can manage the time period of these jobs by specified criteria: for documents of a certain type, those that exceed a certain size and age, or documents from particular users. Archive Manager Files Edition adds various filters to jobs for specific file system archiving options.
Authorized users can administer their own file system by manually archiving and restoring documents. Ordinary users are not affected by the file archiving process; they remain completely unaware of the Archive Manager Files Edition installation. The user interface is unchanged and the users' daily file processes are unaffected.
If an archived document is accessed and edited, Archive Manager Files Edition recognizes the amendments and automatically stores the revised document as a new version. Authorized users can then view the different instances, new or original, of that document. This prerequisite archiving is central to compliant storage management and retrieving files for e-Discovery.
The IT Administrator can set retention times on documents for complete control of the file lifecycle with regards to litigation. After designating a file with a deletion time, the admin can assign a "keep-alive period" that issues a warning when the retention time is reached and the file is about to be deleted from the archive. Compliant storage media can be installed to ensure the files are not tampered with while stored.
Manage multiple domains of File Server environments in different locations around the world. Create file archiving jobs from remote servers and replace stored files using HTML shortcuts. Network flexibility and offsite systems improve the adaptability of file archiving infrastructures. Archived files are easily accessible via the web portal from worldwide locations.

Shadow And Act has learned that Wood Harris is actually NOT playing Malcolm X in the upcoming Lifetime original movie project previously Betty And Coretta, which stars Angela Bassett, Mary J. Blige and Malik Yoba, as Coretta Scott King, Betty Shabazz and Martin Luther King Jr. respectively.
The film centers on the relationship between Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King - specifically, it'll follow how they continue on as single mothers, after their husbands are assassinated - their husbands being Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
About a month ago, Wood Harris said in various interviews, while promoting his Dredd 3D, which he has a part in, that he had was set up to play Malcolm X in the movie, which is currently shooting in Canada. But we've learned, via his agents, that the role has actually gone to Canadian actor Lindsay Owen Pierre (above, center).
Pierre's resume is relatively short, full of most TV work, here in the USA as well as in Canada; this will likely be his highest profile role to date.
Worth noting, both Pierre and Harris are listed on the project's IMDB page as Malcolm X. But Pierre's agents tell me that the role is definitely Pierre's. Obviously, they both can't be playing the same character, unless this isn't the kind of project we think it is. We reached out to Lifetime, but no comments yet.
Ruby Dee will appear on-screen as a "historical witness" to narrate the story, "as someone familiar with the events of both their lives."
Yves Simoneau, who recently directed a Beauty And The Beast TV-movie for ABC Studios, will direct Betty And Coretta, from a script penned by Shem Bitterman (he last wrote and directed a feature dramedy titled The Job in 2009).
The film will be produced by Blige, as well as Larry Stanitsky, with Jaja Johnson and Polly Anthony executive producing.
Production has already begun, with a February air date planned.
Josh | October 11, 2012 6:44 PM
If you ask me, I think Wood Harris would be a much better choice as Malcolm X
bondgirl | October 11, 2012 10:04 AM
I don't understand why no one at S & A will just call the casting or production department to get accurate and unreleased information. They will usually tell you so long as you don't quote them, and you're not from a competing studio. You could've had a dozen posts regarding this film and others if you would focus on reaching the people making the decisions, instead of relying on "tips".
ALM | October 10, 2012 8:23 PM
Oops. That's messed up that he was announcing it, and then the role went to someone else. I'm sure this type of thing happens all the time, but it's still messed up.
D.C. Kirkwood | October 10, 2012 7:51 PM
Thank God. I was just thinking as I was driving from work that Wood Harris as Malcolm X. Absolutely not. I was hoping they would find somebody else. I am glad I saw this post. This just made my day.

When did Mary J become an actress capable of being cast as such iconic Black women ?
julius hollingsworth | October 10, 2012 2:30 PM
I hope this guy is a good actor. He dosent look anymore like Malcomb x then Wood Harris did.(lol)Make up please.(lol)At least Wood was a good actor.
No | October 10, 2012 12:19 PM
Is there no one at Indiewire /Shadow & Act available to catch the typo in this article's headline about "Better and Coretta"? Or is this a play on words?

An inside look at social TV in Spain
Tuitele, a leading social TV analytics company in Spain, recently released a report detailing the rapid growth of social TV in Spain in 2013. In January 2013, 750,000 unique Twitter users tweeted about Spanish TV; in December 2013, the number ballooned to 1.3 million unique users.
Even more impressive is that 78% of Twitter users in Spain tweeted about TV over the course of the year. In Spain, social TV is not a mere subset of the larger social conversation – it is one of its largest drivers. Still, the type of programming driving the social conversation in Spain is in line with larger social TV trends: Sports represented 30.2% of all tweets about TV in 2013, while talent shows and reality shows, respectively, were the next most tweeted-about genres.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
I can't speak for pitch 3(12R),but pitch 1 of this route using the 11c variation is incredible. The variation bypasses what looks like a arduous indirect line by combining both pitches via a bolted bulge,into a long, direct, and very demanding pitch. A great mix of steep finger cracks, and balancy face climbing at the bolts makes this an absolute classic. The fingercrack above the bulge is relentless.
Southern Hospitality is located just down hill of Gamesmanship. If you start walking uphill you've gone too far. Two ropes to get down. Uncomfortable belay.
Doubles in green, yellow, and red aliens(or purple BD's) are helpful as are plenty of nuts.

text: Here is the data, please look it over and decide how well you think Damian will perform. All of these guys were top ten, and keep in mind that rookies this year did not have the full 82 games. I wish I could have captured the team records as well, maybe one of you could do that ;-) I just wanted to do this to help set a context for what we should expect. If Damian is the full-time starter please predict his stats based on what you see below.
