DOR is a military term that means Date of Rank. The Date of Rank is defined as the day that promotion is effective. That date is usually prior to the date of promotion sometimes by days, weeks, and years depending on the requirements of the promotion authority. The date of rank is used to establish precedence for promotion to the next higher rank and to establish seniority among individuals of the same rank.
SSG Johnson and SSG Lacy scored the same on their APFT and tied with the board for the AGR job, so we had to go by their date of rank (DOR) to decide who would get the job and the promotion to E-7.

Police accuse Merritte of driving away from police who stopped his vehicle in the 500 block of East 12th Street at about 3:50 a.m. today.

Our raw materials
Responsible raw materials procurement is a priority at Piaget and for Groupe Richemont.
Promoting an ethical gold and diamond trade
November 2012: Piaget welcomed Mr Michael Rae, director of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), to its premises. Representatives of the brands and companies of Groupe Richemont, as well as the Fédération de Haute Horlogerie, were present for the occasion.
Our suppliers
Ethics and responsible sourcing are an important part of our company's commercial practices. Piaget therefore carries out Corporate Social Responsibility audits when dealing with suppliers considered relatively exposed in terms of corporate social responsibility.
Responsible Jewellery Council
As concerns gold, diamonds and platinum group metals, Piaget joined the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) in 2005. This non-profit association works to build consumer trust in jewelry and watch products through the establishment of an international standard. Piaget was issued RJC certification in September 2011, following a certification audit conducted by an independent auditor approved by the RJC. In 2012, Piaget, in coordination with the RJC, is working on building a responsible gold and platinum metals supply chain.
Kimberley Process Certification Scheme
Piaget requires that all its diamonds receive the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) certificate, and applies the rules of the World Diamond Council (WDC) guarantee system to the letter. Currently, 74 member countries apply KPCS international regulations, including Switzerland. The goal of these regulations is to guarantee to the buyer that the proceeds of the sale of a diamond are not being used by rebel movements to overthrow legitimate governments. In addition, given serious infractions in Zimbabwe, the brand stopped purchasing diamonds from the Marange region in 2009.
Certification of leather bands
For its leather bands, Piaget uses skins from exotic animals. These are regulated on the international level through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The goal of this Convention is to ensure that the international trade of wild animal and plant species does not threaten the survival of the species to which they belong. To do this, a system of permits has been put in place. For an exotic skin to be exported, imported and re-exported, it must have a permit issued by the appropriate authority of the country of origin. Piaget goes beyond this standard, and no longer uses the skins of skates (shagreen), nor several different species of monitor lizards, pythons, or crocodiles (such as the saltwater crocodile) for its watch bands, and requires that its suppliers and subcontractors respect the CITES treaty.
Precious stones
There are currently no international regulations for precious stones. However, in 2007, the international community strongly condemned Myanmar, asking the jewelry industry to boycott precious stones exported by this country, in particular rubies, sapphires and jade. Piaget joined this boycott and has purchased no stones from Myanmar since 2007.
Coral, too, has been banned. Through this choice we hope to help protect the ocean floor.
The Piaget brand promotes excellence in all areas, and therefore guarantees the quality and integrity of its products. Receipt of Responsible Jewellery Council certification, in September 2011, is proof of our commitment.

Portland was named in 1845 when two men with land claims flipped a coin for naming rights. The man from Portland, Maine won the toss--and got to call the new city after his hometown. In the time since this unusual christening, an unconventional kind of town has taken shape.
Explore boutiques and galleries in the Pearl District's revitalized turn-of-the century warehouses. Make a pilgrimage to the amazing Powell's City of Books, an independent bookstore adventure - enjoy coffee while you browse. Travel 80 miles northwest to beautiful Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast. Head 20 miles southwest to Ponzi Vineyards out on Mountain Home Road, one of several hundred wineries in the Willamette Valley wine country. Or, find sanctuaries of nature right in the city in the Rose or Japanese Gardens of Washington Park.
For a substantial lunch on a brisk day, try a burger stuffed between grilled cheese sandwiches - you can find one at Grilled Cheese Grill's double-decker bus version of a food truck, at S.E. 28th and Ankeny. Maybe you'd prefer a scallop, hazelnut, and greens salad at farm-to-table Meriweather's Restaurant & Skyline Farm - they grow the vegetables they serve. Sample some barrel-aged microbrews at Hair of the Dog. And for a truly colorful experience, check out VooDoo Doughnuts, open 24/7 - go for the Mango Tango doughnut.

Closed Captioned
Alongside fashionista Linda Lee, you'll learn essential skills for making and sewing fine garment interiors: choose interfacings, underlinings, interlinings, facings and linings, and install them perfectly in your garments. Bring stunning structure and a lifetime of longevity to your fabric with interfacings. Underline entire garments to reduce wrinkles and give beautiful body to limp fabrics. Interline your outerwear to protect your fabric and add warmth and comfort to the garment. Flawlessly finish raw edges on exposed areas of your garments with facings. Plus, you'll learn how to sew linings for both pants and skirts, and Linda will even share how to draft and sew your own tailored jacket lining.
Linda Lee introduces herself and explains the differences among interfacings, linings and facings as she shows a variety of garments in which you might use them.
While largely replaced by fusible interfacings these days, sew-in interfacings still have an important role in garment construction. Linda will show you how to audition interfacings, preshrink them if necessary, cut them correctly and baste them to your pattern pieces.
Not all fusibles are built alike! Learn to distinguish among the different varieties and how to apply them. Linda has some great time-saving tips, too.
Review with Linda the different kinds of fabrics you can use for underlinings and how to apply them in your garment. Linda also shares how to create her favorite seam finish: the Hong Kong finish.
When you want extra loft and coziness for a garment such as a jacket, you have a variety of materials to choose from. Linda will teach you how to warm up your wardrobe.
Linda demonstrates four ways to finish the edge of your facings for a clean, smooth look, then how to attach and understitch.
Even if your jacket, skirt or pants pattern didn't come with a lining, there's no reason you can't draft one yourself! Linda will show you how.
See how to turn a shirt pattern into a lined jacket. Linda shares her techniques for installing or "bagging" the lining and finishing the garment with professional tailoring touches. Gain the confidence and knowledge to try it yourself!
"Wow - this is all one could EVER want to know about linings! Even questions I never thought to ask were answered. Well instructed, VERY thorough, well executed class. Truly a tremendous amount of information. ... Loved that several different methods (with samples) for achieving a lining or facing were shown. I feel like I can now choose the most appropriate one versus only knowing one method and being stuck with that. Many thanks!"

Here are some posting guidelines to help users get the best from our forums.
1) No advertising or solicitation. Do not use our forums as a place to sell your products or services. Such threads will be closed and/or deleted. We provide our forums here to assist users with our products.
If you wish to make a brief announcement regarding your own (SWiSH-related) products or services, contact David Petley, one of the board administrators, who will consider your request.
2) Be nice, refrain from using inappropriate language or posting inappropriate content. Do not attack other members. Remember that everybody helping you in our forums volunteers time and knowledge for free, keep in mind that a "thank you" is always appreciated.
3) Do not cross-post, or make multiple posts on the same subject. We will delete or close such duplicated threads.
4) Do not post anything illegal. This is a condition of membership. Members breaching this rule will be removed without hesitation.
5) Use the search feature...familiarise yourself with it. It may save you lots of time if your issue has been addressed in the past.
6) Be careful posting personal information, such as email addresses and/or contact information. It may result in unwanted contact, so be selective about what you disclose.
7) Stay on-topic...Our forums were put in place to help our users with our products, not to celebrate birthdays, or discuss the latest news. There are other places where such posts are welcomed, and we suggest a visit to some of the SWiSH community sites for more general conversation and discussion with like-minded people -
8) Make your thread titles as descriptive as possible....for 2 reasons...
i) It helps other users to assess whether they can offer assistance, just from reading your thread title. I know many busy users pass over threads with titles like "heeelp me", they figure if you are not interested in saving their time, why should they be giving you any.
ii) SEARCHING - It helps with future searches on the same issue.....nobody uses the search function to look for 'help', they look for things like 'popup window' or 'scroll', something relative to their own problem. It will save everybody some time, if you just take a little of your own to be descriptive when you post a new thread.
9) While there is no hard rule on this, please specify what build any sample files are created in.
Remember that if you are seeking help with files created in a recent pre-release build, only users with a recent pre-release build can assist you.
Likewise, if you provide an example to help someone, you will help more people if your file is NOT created in the pre-release build but the current public release.
Thanks for taking the time to read, and hopefully it will help make your time here more productive.
BTW...please note that there also limits on the size of your footer/signature here -
Maximum footer/Signature Size
300 pixels wide x 40 pixels high x 15 kb maximum file size is what we allow, or 4 lines of text.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Jay Paterno came to the podium at the packed Bryce Jordan Center to a standing ovation at 4 p.m. Thursday, batting last after a two-hour lineup of heavyweight speakers to eulogize his father, and immediately said, "On behalf of my mother and our entire family, we want to thank everyone for prayers, notes, support and the outpouring of emotion from the Penn State community."
He emphasized the word "everyone."
And so it was that the healing process is now beginning.
Following the horrendous end to a Hall of Fame career and sudden death from lung cancer less than three months later, his family - like Joe Paterno himself - showed its leadership by welcoming all who wished to help say goodbye to a man who impacted a single university more than any person in American history.
In his invocation, Father Matthew Laffey thanked God for "one of your greatest gifts to the world," and expressed thanks "for the blessing to have lived where this giant walked the earth."
The entire building rose numerous times throughout the moving day - starting when Sue Paterno, dressed in blue, led her five children and 17 grandchildren into their seats shortly before 2 p.m.
"Family provides comfort," Charlie Pittman, representing the 1960s, said. "Family outlives controversy."
Paterno's career certainty ended in controversy after he was fired in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Several speakers touched on the Board of Trustees' Nov. 9 decision, much to the crowd's approval, and none more pointedly than Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight, who said the "villain" in the case "is not Joe Paterno." (Please see related story.)
While the board's decision made for an ugly ending, the three-day celebration of Paterno's incredible life could not have been more beautiful.
Starting with the 10-hour visitation at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on Tuesday followed by Wednesday's funeral and capped by Thursday's perfectly scripted mix of speakers and video tributes, Happy Valley finally feels a little better this morning.
Sue Paterno was repeatedly fondly acknowledged for sharing her husband with the Nittany Nation, and Susan Welch, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, for which the Paternos have endowed scholarships, thanked SuePa "for letting the community mourn with you."
The family could have chosen a more private setting all week long, and after the way the university pulled the plug, the Paternos couldn't have been blamed.
But as the blue bus following the blue hearse on Wednesday went past the Paterno Library and the Creamery that sold Peachy Paterno and then toward Beaver Stadium, which was expanded seven times under JoePa's watch, and past the Paterno stature and downtown, where the five-deep crowds swelled even more, it was obvious this was a family that arrived Thursday with love and forgiveness in their hearts.
The Paternos allowed photography during the visitation, and Jay Paterno even offered to host the media for a Thursday night gathering.
After the family announced that Paterno had lung cancer on Nov. 18, Jay Paterno saw his father daily, and saw him increasingly more as the end drew near.
He took a walk with him in on a recent cold day at Sunset Park, next to the family home, and watched his father's shadow, comparing it with his own. He said his dad was tired but not bitter.
JoePa's 85th birthday came on Dec. 21, and knowing the possibility that it might be his last, his father's message to his entire family "stressed how blessed his life has been."
Paterno knew he was sick, very sick, but, Jay said, "He wanted to use his remaining time on earth to see Penn State continue to thrive."
Thursday saw Penn State thriving again as the ceremony was extremely dignified - bringing laughs, tears, passion and togetherness - and was easily as memorable as any game anyone had witnessed in much better times across the street.
The last act was reserved for Blue Band member Kurtis Cleckner, who delivered the trumpet solo, "Hail to the Lion."

The Finnish cell phone pioneer saw its profits flatline during the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Motorola and Sony handset profits were much better, along with LG ending the year with -1 percent. Although it ended the year as the third most-profitable handset maker, HTC struggled to post a profit of just 1 percent. In other words, Apple was 69 times more profitable.

Profits for the fourth quarter had crashed by 90% year on year to just NT$600m (£12m) on revenues of NT$60bn, down 40%, the company said as it unveiled its annual results.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The Stetson lacrosse team dropped its 11th straight game to start the season falling to Marist on the road by a score of 11-1 on Friday. Sophomore Maylis Broderick scored the lone goal for the Hatters.
The Red Foxes scored the first 11 goals of the game, which included five first half scores that gave Marist a 5-0 lead at the break. Stetson got into the scoring column when Broderick put one in the back of the net with 5:45 to play in the game.
Marist outshot Stetson 37-10, picked up 30 ground balls to the Hatters' 18, and finished with 11 draw controls while Stetson recorded three. Stetson was just 9-of-23 on clear attempts and turned the ball over 23 times.
Jamie Romano led the Red Foxes with four goals, while Kara McHugh and Emily Leonard chipped in with two each. McHugh and Abigail Witczak led the way with four ground balls while Romano had a game high six draw controls.
Sophomore Caili Guilday led the Hatters with six ground balls and stopped 13 of Marist's shots while playing all 60 minutes in goal. Freshman Lindsay Summers led Stetson with two draw controls in the defeat.
Stetson returns home on Wednesday to host no. 4 Florida at the Athletic Training Center. The Hatters and the Gators are scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. in DeLand.

In today's work world - busting with all the latest in technology and our country's rage for telecommuting, that means "off to work you go" might actually be right in your own home!
What does all this mean for you and the rooms you use in your home? Why it means that finding a quiet, productive workplace will be critical to your "working from home" success.
For some, your work place might actually be your kitchen table. Certainly not the most ideal location for you home office - but often times the first place many telecommuters find themselves. I believe that with a little carefully planning and ingenuity you might possibly have some better home office alternatives right in front of you!
When my clients find themselves working from home, I suggest that they first begin by taking stock of the rooms in their home that are the least used. Perhaps a spare bedroom or even a seldom used formal dining room could become the new location for your home office.
If your choice is to make a seldom used room double as a home office, and space is at a premium than one idea might be to purchase a computer armoire. These gorgeous cabinets are beautiful pieces of furniture that have been outfitted to house all your computer apparatus and home office needs. When in use, everything opens up and is easily at your fingertips. And when not in use your room gets the benefit of a beautifully designed piece of furniture.
If a spare bedroom is available, it could easily and stylishly be converted to a home office. If you think there is no room in your home for an office, look again. With a little creative space planning, you can come up with a beautifully and creatively designed workspace solution that puts working at your kitchen table to shame!

USU Trustee tells students to aspire to do what they love
The Herald Journal
By Kevin Opsahl
Now a gracious supporter of Utah State University and member of the USU Board of Trustees, Suzanne Pierce-Moore suggests students ask a question to themselves she wishes she had asked at their age: "What would I do if I couldn't fail?"
"Take time to ask yourself that. I don't have the answer for you, but it might make a world of difference," said Pierce-Moore at a talk sponsored by the newly formed Women In Business Association, a group of female students under the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, on Wednesday. "Envision your perfect life — and that is physical, spiritual, intellectual and social. No one is going to grade you.
"When you find out what is important to you, research and find out how to get there."

Scouts, coaches and general managers of all 32 NFL teams are extremely busy at the moment. They're watching film, going to pro days, interviewing prospects and performing background checks in preparation for the 2014 NFL draft, which will be held May 8-10.
This is the time of year when we hear about a player's motor. And we'll discuss whether a defensive lineman is a five-technique, three-technique or zero-technique player. We might also hear buzz about which wide receivers and defensive backs can high-point the ball.
There's an expansive glossary of terms used in scouting reports as organizations put together their big boards.
Included in the draft lexicon is a term that no one in any war room wants to hear. It's a four-letter word: the B-word.
When a player doesn't pan out, especially when he's drafted early in the first round, the "bust" label stays with him long after his playing days are over.
Even with all the legwork, the draft is an inexact science. Pretty much every draft will include a bust or two.
The 10 biggest NFL draft busts of the last decade all were high first-round picks. There are plenty of busts later in the first round and in the middle rounds, but the earlier a player is drafted, the more his failure resonates.
These rankings are based on a combination of draft position and how little the picks contributed on the field.
No. 10: Mike Williams, WR, Detroit Lions
Year: 2005, Pick No. 10
Detroit Lions general manager Matt Millen loved those first-round wide receivers. The Lions chose a receiver in the first round in three straight drafts. Mike Williams, the last of those selections, wasn't as big a bust as Charles Rogers. But Rogers doesn't make this list because he wasn't drafted within the last decade. He was taken second overall in 2003. The "last decade" begins with 2004.
Williams tried to enter the draft a year earlier, after he helped USC win a national championship in 2003. But a court ruled that he was ineligible because he was less than three years out of high school.
The Lions drafted him after he sat out for a year, and he was a disappointment as a rookie. He caught only 29 passes with one touchdown. The following year, his receptions decreased while his weight increased. He had eight catches with one touchdown.
Williams made just six starts in two seasons with the Lions, and he went to the Oakland Raiders in a draft-day trade in 2007. His conditioning wasn't any better, and he caught seven passes before the Raiders cut him during the season. The Tennessee Titans picked him up, but let him go before he even caught a pass.
The 6'5″ Williams would rank a lot higher on this list if he didn't take advantage of the last chance his old college coach gave him. After two years away from the game, Williams reunited with Pete Carroll and caught 65 passes for the Seattle Seahawks in 2010. He was the leading receiver on a team that won the NFC West with a 7-9 record. He caught five passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 41-36 wild-card playoff win over the defending-champion New Orleans Saints.
Williams' redemption was short-lived, however. He was limited to 18 receptions in 2011 and broke his ankle. He was released before the 2012 season, four years after Millen was fired in the midst of an 0-16 season.
No. 9: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Year: 2011, Pick No. 10
Blaine Gabbert is the most recent draft pick and the only active player (for now) on this list. Perhaps it's too early to label him one of the 10 biggest NFL draft busts of the last decade.
But that 5-22 record as a starter skewers the equation.
Gabbert, drafted out of Missouri, has the fewest wins of any quarterback picked in the top 10 since 2011. He has the lowest winning percentage of all quarterbacks chosen anywhere in the first round since 2011. Brandon Weeden (5-15) and EJ Manuel (4-6) are the only such quarterbacks who haven't won more games than Gabbert, and Gabbert's been in the NFL longer than both of them.
Fellow quarterback Matt Leinart, drafted in same spot as Gabbert five years earlier, was seriously considered for this list. He lost his starting job to Kurt Warner and his career was subsequently knocked off course by injuries.
While Leinart is also deserving of the bust label, Gabbert has been a bigger bust. It's not like Gabbert lost his starting job to a potential Hall of Famer. He lost it to Chad Henne in 2013 after throwing for one touchdown and seven interceptions while completing less than half his passes.
Gabbert certainly isn't expected to start for his new team.
The San Francisco 49ers acquired Gabbert for a sixth-round draft pick. He'll have to fight just to be Colin Kaepernick's backup. But he's near the bottom of this list because he has more upside than anyone on it. Then again, it's easy to have more upside than someone who's no longer in the NFL.
No. 8: Aaron Maybin, DE, Buffalo Bills
Year: 2009, Pick No. 11
It stands to reason that the franchise with the NFL's longest active playoff drought would have a player on this list.
Aaron Maybin was a flop in Buffalo. The 6'4″, 245-pounder from Penn State was undersized as a defensive lineman, and it showed. In two seasons with the Bills, Maybin started just one game. He had no sacks. All that dotted his barren stat sheet were 14 tackles and a forced fumble.
The Bills gave up on him, but the light seemingly went on with the New York Jets in 2011. As a third-down linebacker, he notched six sacks and forced four fumbles. That little flash keeps him from being ranked higher on this list.
Maybin fell back to earth with a thud in 2012. He made one tackle in eight games before the Jets released him.
The Cincinnati Bengals signed Maybin in 2013, but released him in training camp in a moment that was shown days later to millions of viewers on HBO's "Hard Knocks."
It's not surprising that the end of the line for one of the biggest modern-day draft busts would be broadcast on reality TV.
No. 7: Derrick Harvey, DE, Jacksonville Jaguars
Year: 2008, Pick No. 8
Among the reasons the Jacksonville Jaguars are 31-65 since their last playoff appearance in 2007, is their spotty record with first-round draft picks. And they make an encore appearance on this list with Derrick Harvey.
Jacksonville traded up with the Baltimore Ravens to draft Harvey. The Ravens used the picks they received to maneuver their way back up the board to draft Joe Flacco.
Flacco led the Ravens to a championship win. Harvey was defensive MVP of the 2006 BCS National Championship game, leading Florida to a victory over Ohio State. But in the pros he had just eight sacks in three seasons with the Jaguars.
By 2010, Harvey slipped down the depth chart and was released in training camp the following season. Harvey unceremoniously finished his career in Denver, making two tackles in five games in 2011.
No. 6: Troy Williamson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Year: 2005, Pick No. 7
The Minnesota Vikings traded up to draft Troy Williamson in a deal that sent Randy Moss to the Oakland Raiders.
The Vikings dropped the ball on that one, and Williamson dropped plenty of balls in Minnesota. In three seasons as a Viking, the former South Carolina receiver hung onto 79 passes with three touchdowns.
Moss, meanwhile, caught 200 passes during those three years. That includes 98 with a single-season record 23 touchdowns for the 18-1 New England Patriots in 2007.
Williamson was traded to Jacksonville in 2008, but caught just eight passes with a touchdown in two injury-riddled seasons. He was done at age 26.
No. 5: Jason Smith, OT, St. Louis Rams
Year: 2009, Pick No. 2
Jason Smith was the first in a procession of draft busts early in the first round of the 2009 draft. He has a place in the top five because only one other player on this list was drafted higher.
A tackle drafted second overall normally is expected to step in at left tackle and be the quarterback's blind-side protector, but the former All-American from Baylor couldn't handle the job. It didn't help that his career was plagued by concussions. When Smith did get on the field, it was at right tackle.
Smith started just five games as a rookie, then started 15 games in 2010. It was the only season Smith started more than six games, but even then he didn't provide much return on the Rams' investment of a No. 2 pick. The Rams ranked 26th on offense in 2010, 25th in rushing and 21st in passing. Pro Football Focus didn't even rank him among the top 30 tackles who played at least 75 percent of their team's snaps that year.
The Rams traded Smith to the New York Jets before the 2012 season for fellow tackle Wayne Hunter. Smith appeared in all 16 games that year, but as a backup. The trade was a wash. Both Smith and Hunter were released after the season.
Smith signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2013, but was cut during the preseason. The Jets brought him back, but released him days later. He worked out for the Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants, but couldn't catch on.
No. 4: Rolando McClain, MLB, Oakland Raiders
Year: 2010, Pick No. 8
We've picked on the Jacksonville Jaguars enough. Now it's the Oakland Raiders' turn to feel the brunt of our snark.
To say Rolando McClain took early retirement is an understatement. He retired at an age when many Americans are still looking for their first job.
After three disappointing seasons in Oakland, McClain signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013. His career already marked by legal troubles, McClain was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest two weeks after signing with the Ravens. He retired shortly thereafter at age 23.
McClain won the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker in 2009, then entered the draft after his junior season. But he recorded just 6.5 sacks and one interception in three years in silver and black. He was plagued by injuries in 2012 and suspended by the team for two games late in the season for his behavior in the locker room.
Perhaps we haven't seen the last of McClain. He's trying to make a comeback, according to the Baltimore Sun. Even if he does put on pads again, McClain has a long way to go before working his way off this list.
No. 3: Aaron Curry, LB, Seattle Seahawks
Year: 2009, Pick No. 4
Even the reigning Super Bowl champions have a skeleton in their draft closet.
Aaron Curry cracks the top three on this list because of how far he fell from his lofty draft prognostications. Multiple draft pundits labeled him as a "safe" pick after he earned All-American honors at Wake Forest.
Opposing quarterbacks were safe, as it turned out, from Curry's pass rush. He had just 5.5 sacks in two-plus seasons with the Seahawks, then was usurped as a starter in 2011 and traded to the Oakland Raiders. Curry wasn't any better in Oakland, but in this case the Raiders aren't the ones responsible for whiffing on the pick.
Curry and fellow draft bust Rolando McClain became teammates with the Raiders. The two already were linked as Butkus Award winners. Curry won the award in 2008, the year before McClain won it.
In 2012, Curry started the season on the PUP list. He played in two games before the Raiders waived him. He took one last shot with the New York Giants in 2013, but didn't survive the roster cut to 75 and hung up his spikes at age 27,
No. 2: Vernon Gholston, DE, New York Jets
Year: 2008, Pick No. 6
Vernon Gholston might as well have dropped the "l" from his last name, because he was little more than a ghost to opposing quarterbacks.
Gholston had no sacks in three seasons with the Jets. He set a single-season school record with 14.5 sacks at Ohio State in 2007, but the Jets tried to convert the 6'4″, 258-pounder from a 4-3 defensive end to a 3-4 outside linebacker. He was moved to defensive end in 2010, but it didn't help and he was released after the season with just five career starts under his belt.
Since it became an official statistic in 1982, Gholston is the only defensive end drafted in the top 10 without a sack, according to the Wall Street Journal.
After the Jets cut him loose, the only action Gholston saw was in the preseason. He couldn't make the Bears in 2011 or the Rams in 2012.
No. 1: JaMarcus Russell, QB, Oakland Raiders
Year: 2007, Pick No. 1
Only one player is a bigger draft bust since 2004 than the guy with the infamous goose egg on the NFL's career sack list.
JaMarcus Russell is synonymous with NFL draft busts just as the Edsel is synonymous with failed products.
Russell is the only No. 1 overall pick on this list. The Raiders hadn't won more than five games in any season since 2002 and were coming off a 2-14 campaign when they had the top pick in 2007. But Russell, who won 28 games in three seasons at LSU, went just 7-18 in three seasons before the Raiders released him in 2010.
If this were a list of the biggest all-time NFL draft busts, Ryan Leaf would enter the conversation. Since Leaf flamed out more than 10 years ago, though, Russell doesn't have to share the stage on this list.
Russell's ineptitude reached Leaf-like proportions in 2009. He completed just 48.8 percent of his passes; and threw for three touchdowns and 11 interceptions for a passer rating of 50.0, the worst in the NFL since Leaf and two others fell short of that mark in 1998, according to ESPN.com.
After going 2-7 in 2009, Russell lost his starting job to career backup Bruce Gradkowski.
Al Davis made the call in drafting Russell, but the quarterback didn't show much of a commitment to excellence in Oakland. He got his career off to a bad start when he held out and missed training camp in his rookie season. Then he couldn't push himself away from the dinner table, letting his weight balloon to nearly 300 pounds. The Raiders ultimately had to eat $39 million even though Russell made it only halfway through his six-year rookie contract.
Although he didn't catch on anywhere else after the Raiders cut him, Russell remained on the NFL radar as recently as last year. But knee problems kept him from making a comeback. He'll turn 29 this year, and his status as the NFL's biggest draft bust of the last decade is likely set in stone.

on November 24, 2012 - 11:36 PM
, updated November 25, 2012 at 11:38 AM
The presidential election is over.
The Affordable Care Act, what critics derisively call "Obamacare," is the law of the land.
And, after 100 years of failed attempts to create universal health insurance, the country is haltingly headed toward a historic reform of the health care system to cover 32 million uninsured Americans, starting in 2014.
But now comes the hard part: making it work.
A centerpiece of the health care reform law is the health insurance exchange, online marketplaces for health insurance in each state, much like Expedia or Orbitz for travel.
The idea is that small businesses and individuals without affordable employer-provided insurance will use the exchanges to compare and buy private health plans, and determine if they are eligible for Medicaid or subsidies from the federal government to buy a health plan.
At least, that's the plan.
Enrollment is set to begin in less than a year, on Oct. 1, 2013, for policies that go into effect Jan. 1, 2014. Yet many states waited to prepare until after the election for an initiative that has to rank as one of the most complicated ever undertaken by government.
It's anticipated that New York will enroll about 1 million people over three years – out of 2.7 million uninsured in the state. But even states that got an early start, such as New York, face a daunting list of challenges.
"We have needed every minute of time," said Danielle Holahan, director of policy and planning for the New York Health Benefit Exchange.
One example in the difficult path to implementation: The online exchanges must offer easy and accurate transactions that involve multiple parties, including commercial health plans, state Medicaid programs, employers, insurance brokers, and organizations with local offices that will be established to offer guidance to consumers.
Can the websites in each state be made robust enough technologically – and on schedule – to accomplish this?
Another example: There are about 15,000 health insurance policies sold in New York State alone, varying mainly in co-payments and deductibles.
Can the plans be pared down to a more manageable number and be accompanied with information about the quality of the insurers so that consumers can make informed decisions based on more than price?
Key questions about how the exchanges will operate remain unanswered, Holahan acknowledges, in some cases because states are awaiting guidance from the federal government.
But New York is meeting deadlines, she said.
"Health reform is an amazing achievement. It's what many of us have been fighting for for many years," said Elisabeth R. Benjamin, vice president of the Community Service Society.
"But we're building on the existing insurance system, and that makes things complex," she said. "Getting this started is bound to have a lot of problems."
Benjamin, whose New York City group researches and advocates for health reform, said New York officials have been "very responsive" to what's proven to be a very difficult job.
Among other developments in recent months, New York selected the state's largest small-group plan, Oxford EPO, as the benchmark plan with the "essential benefits" that insurers in the exchange must provide. The state also outlined additional coverage areas that insurers must offer to meet the requirements of the health reform law.
They include pediatric dental and vision coverage equal to the benefits offered through New York's Children's Health Insurance Program, habilitative services in parity with rehabilitative services, mental health and substance abuse parity, and annual and lifetime dollar limits.
The state in September also filed hundreds of pages of documents with the federal government in a required "blueprint" report, identifying its progress in certain areas, such as information technology and recommendations on policies to remove incentives for insurance companies to seek only the healthiest enrollees.
Earlier this month, as a Nov. 16 deadline loomed, the Obama administration at the request of Republican governors announced it would give states more time to decide whether to build online health insurance markets or have the federal government run one for them. States that want to manage their own exchanges have until Dec. 14 to submit blueprints, and states that want to run exchanges in partnership with the federal government have until Feb. 15. Otherwise, the federal government plans to run the state's exchange.
So far, 17 states have committed to running an exchange, according to health care consultant Avalere Health.
It's not clear yet which health plans will be in the exchanges and exactly how much they will charge in premiums because the exchanges are not yet up and running. But insurers are preparing to compete.
Like others tracking the development of the exchanges, they have concerns over many issues, such as the information consumers will have in order to make choices.
"If one insurer sells an identical plan at a lower price than others but has a record of denying claims, consumers should be able to know that. Otherwise, you won't know what you're really paying for," said Dr. Michael Cropp, chief executive officer of Independent Health.
He said the exchanges should incorporate access to quality measures that include an insurer's record on coverage denials and complaints, in addition to rankings on medical care, such as how well they do on screening for cancer and monitoring diabetes.
State officials say they intend to do this, but information on complaints and denials will only be available for insurers that have been doing business in New York and not new companies that enter the market to compete in the exchange.
"I'm concerned that the public will have to accept a less-than-adequate system to move the ball down the road," Cropp said.
Likewise, consumer advocates warn that the exchanges must devise an appeals system to resolve disputes quickly and effectively.
New York officials realize the potential for problems if as many disputes as possible aren't addressed before they worsen into official appeals, Holahan said.
"We're working on the mechanics of that," she said.
Questions also remain over the affordability of the health plans in the exchange and measures to prevent some insurance companies from getting stuck with the sickest and costliest patients.
The health reform law requires states to establish risk adjustment measures that transfer money from insurers with relatively healthy enrollees to those with relatively unhealthy and expensive enrollees. Some insurers aren't satisfied yet with the proposed measures.
"The models so far are inadequate to prevent some insurers from skimming the healthier population with an inferior product that may have standard benefits but has a track record of denying coverage," said Cropp.
Without adequate risk-adjustment measures, insurers will be inclined to price their products higher to offset the uncertainty of whether they will bring in the revenue needed to cover the cost of the individuals who enroll through the exchange, according to Jared Gross, vice president for health care economics at BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York.
"We need to know more about how risk will be assigned and payments made," he said.
Insurers also oppose one of the funding mechanisms of the health reform law, saying it will lead to higher premium prices.
Beginning in 2014, the law will assess a new sales tax on health insurers based on the total amount of premium dollars they collect. Insurers warn that the cost will be passed on to consumers, making policies less affordable for individuals and employers.
"We estimate the tax will add $400 to a family plan once it fully kicks in in 2016," said Don Ingalls, vice president for state and federal relations at the Blues.

Have I made it to the other side or is this limboland?
It is day 34 today so not much chance of any hatching today.
Testing testing 123.....am I coming through the ether????
How's our lovebirds doing? Any interesting news anyone?
Only thing that I heard Monday night, which I haven't noticed before (probably because we had no sound for a while) was a cuckoo close to the nest!!! Frightened me to death, I thought we had an alien 'til I realised what it was. A close up cuckoo call is very different to the usual distant one echoing around a wood!!!
Hope evryone's okay. :)
Yes, Emma you are on the other side :)
Lovely shot of the fish delivery Barbara :-)
I was watching the cam yesterday, and intended to make my own diary of events, but I somehow got sidetracked into doing things ;-) However, as a test, here's a couple of shots I took of a changeover (EJ relieving a rather reluctant Odin) at about 2pm on Tuesday:
hmm, the software appears to have mangled my attempt at displaying two shots side-by-side :-(
It helpfully asks you for the maximum image size, but fails to indicate the width of the area into which they are placed, resulting in a squashed right hand image :-/ Unless I missed it somewhere? Sizing by percentage of page width would be easier though.....
I used Alignment property for each image, set to Left and Right respectively, if anyone wants to have a play with it.
Hello! Well Done to Joan for starting a new Thread again - & Well Done to All who've worked out how to post their pics! Thanks Barbara Jean for the tips....
I looked in a few times today, and caught the moment when Odin was egg sitting in what looked like Scottish sunshine.
Hurrah we made it. Thanks for confirming Barbara Jean
If anyone is looking for their "Page" just click on your name at the top and it comes up complete with your friends
Can we post info/pics/links related to the activity for the last two days, or should we create separate threads for those?
I'll just try linking to a clip I made of Odin returning yesterday:
Posts can always be deleted (by the authors) if they clutter up this forum
I should think its ok to post about the last 2 days Robert the Bruce ... there will be a new Daily Update tomorrow anyway ... I hope!

It's been nearly two years since Kate Hudson announced her plans to wed rocker beau Matthew Bellamy.
But if the happy couple need any advice when it comes to love and relationships, well, they have a very valuable source at their disposal.
Hudson's mother, the glowing Goldie Hawn, is weeks away from celebrating her 30th anniversary with partner Kurt Russell on (fittingly) Valentine's Day. And although they may set a decidedly enviable example, Russell says they're not prying into the couple's personal business.
"We stay out of their way, obviously," he told PEOPLE at Friday's Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills, where his Gogi wine label's Pinot noir was served. "But if we find ourselves talking about each other and how we feel about each other, we stand up and we say, 'Wait this is important!' "
Adds the actor, 61: "I'm not going to lie about something like that, and we try not to stick our nose in where it doesn't belong, but if we sense that perhaps there is something that someone wants to talk about, I think we're open enough to say a little something if it's right and appropriate."
But you won't find Russell pressuring Bellamy to tie the knot with Hudson, with whom he has 18-month-old son Bingham. (Hudson has another son, 9-year-old Ryder, from her previous marriage.)
If he ever made any judgement, "At that point, I hope [Bellamy] would hit me right in the teeth," joked Russell, who's never officially wed Hawn.
He ultimately has no tricks of the trade to share with the couple, he says. "I don't know what secrets there are, and like any couple that's been together for 30 years, we've experienced many, many different angles and avenues of our relationship," continues Russell. "I think I'm incredibly lucky to have had the experience, and even more fortunate to have it with the person I have it with."
As for his upcoming anniversary with Hawn, he says, "We will do something special."

City man to borough:?Form neighborhood watch
June 13, 2013
When Jeff Reeder witnessed someone being gunned down in his driveway in Williamsport's East End a number of years ago, he didn't stick his head in the sand and stay quiet....

That's what I hear a lot of Spike, excuses. People continue to say the city isn't doing enough, I'm not saying those people are wrong, but at the same time, usually, those people aren't doing anything at all.

You can take a picture with a cell phone without being obvious. You can call the police when you see things happening over and over again. You can call re: houses with excessive traffic. You can take your dog out for a walk if someone is hanging around on your street. You can form a Neighborhood Watch if your area needs one. There are a lot of things you can do. Most people make up excuses not to do them.

Wes I started a crime watch in the neighborhood in Williamsport that we use to live in. The first thing you need to do is talk with your neighbors to see if they want one, then contact the Williamsport Police and tell them that you want one in your area and they will help you from there.

I don't think you would have to lead the group. If you can get some neighbors together, I'm sure someone will step up to lead.
Again, don't sell yourself short and have a good day.

Because honestly, I don't know the first thing about starting or leading a Neighborhood Watch, so I'm not sure I'm the best person to form a group. I know that sounds like a 'cop out' and I certainly don't mean it that way, but I genuinely am not sure I have the 'skill set' to lead such a group. I'm just a 'Desk job Security Guard'.

July 15, 1929 – Dec. 19, 2012
Lawrence Dunbar Urban, a leader in the rental supply industry, died Wednesday in Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital after a brief illness. He was 83.
A lifelong Buffalo resident, Mr. Urban was a graduate of Nichols School and Hobart College. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1951 and served four years, three of them in England. He took a factory job after returning home before becoming a wholesale hardware salesman.
In the early 1960s, after a stint as a Western Auto store manager, he opened his own business, United Rental, which became a Taylor Rental franchise and was later known as Urban Rental. For three decades, Mr. Urban's life revolved around the tool and party supply rental industry.
He was a member of the American, New York State, Upstate and Western New York rental associations and was a charter member and officer in most of the organizations. In 1979, he received the American Rental Association Region 1 award for outstanding contributions to the rental industry.
After his retirement, Mr. Urban devoted his time to studying family history, and was active in the Buffalo and New England genealogical societies and the Erie County Historical Society. He also supported many local cultural and preservation organizations and was a 60-year member of the Saturn Club.
Mr. Urban's interest in family history began as a way to learn more about Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited peripheral neuropathy which is a slowly progressive, non-life-threatening neuromuscular disorder. He was an active member of the CMT support group of Erie, Pa.
Mr. Urban is survived by his brother, Raymond G. Jr.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Jan. 11 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 371 Delaware Ave.

SALINEVILLE - What started as a discussion of improving faulty bleachers at Southern's football stadium has evolved into a boarder discussion of what can be done to improve the stadium and benefit the community. For the purpose of brainstorming ideas, superintendent John Wilson invited anyone interested to join him for an open forum discussion at the board offices last Friday. Ideas ranging from a new turf football field to a revamped parking system were put forward at the meeting. There was no shortage of ambition and excitement regarding the potential improvements that could be made. "This is a community project and getting it done can only benefit the community." said Wilson.
Discussion of improving the stadium began when athletic director Jess Krulik came to Wilson expressing concern about three rows of bleachers on the visitor's side of Southern's football stadium. The complaint was that the three rows were so low that visiting fans could not see the field. The lack of seating on the visitor side was effecting attendance by visiting fans, and in turn hurting the school profits from ticket sales. Krulik wanted to see the problem for himself so he sat in the rows in question and found they were indeed too low ."The bottom three rows are unusable; I wouldn't pay to sit in those seats." said Krulik. Although it was agreed the bleachers were an urgent issue, discussion of the stadium's seating woes led to wider talks regarding game attendance and the overall state of the stadium.
Currently Southern's bleachers hold just under 1,300 people. Wilson shared with those in attendance a tentative, unofficial goal of doubling the visitor's side seating and adding seating to the home side for a total of approximately 2,800 to 3,000 capacity seating. Wilson is working to gather quotes from businesses that install bleachers but has not yet received a concrete number.
Krulik stated he has been in contact with the athletic director at Wellsville, Don Elliot, to compare ticket revenue from the two football program's yearly rivalry game. When Wellsville hosts the game at their facility they brought in approximately $16,000 in revenue. When Southern hosted the rivalry they averaged about $8,000. "We're half of what they are. I put two reasons behind it: Seating being 85 percent of the problem and parking being the other 15. Our parking is something we have to look into. We're losing half of our gate (ticket sales)." said Krulik. Krulik stated that sporting events are not the only area in which the district is missing opportunities to involve the community and collect revenue.
"I've also discussed it with our band director, and we can't host band shows because we don't have enough seating." said Krulik
Seating and improving the stadium was on the mind of Superintendent John Wilson when he attended the Capitol Conference held by the Ohio School Board Association in Columbus. Part of the event features vendors marketing products pertaining to everything education related including sports facilities. There he encountered representatives from the Cleveland based company Sports Construction Group which does major stadium projects ranging from high school facilities to the NFL and Major League Baseball. The company was able to give Wilson a basic, preliminary blue print of what a turf field and replaced bleachers might look like as well as a tentative quote. "The initial, ball park quote I got while I was in Columbus was $650,000 ... I almost swallowed my pencil. I thought we might have to pass on this."
Wilson and other attendees of the meeting agreed the project seemed high priced but acknowledged there are options for raising the money needed for the project. A community member who wished to remain unnamed pointed out several corporations and wealthy private citizens in the area that might be willing to lend a hand in financing the project if approached in a respectful manner. "With help from donations I think we could get this down under $500,000" said Wilson of the potential community donations. Wilson informed those in attendance that Sports Construction Group also offers payment options: "What's attractive about their program is they do an eight-year lease to own, which we could do with money we already have and fit it within our budget."
A new turf field and bleachers were not the only potential projects discussed as possibilities at Friday night's meeting. The possibilities of adding an improved asphalt track and multi purpose room along side the turf field and new bleachers was also brought up. The multi purpose room would act as a new locker room for the football team, and could possibly house wrestling mats and batting cages as well. Football Coach Mike Skrinjar told those in attendance the current football locker room does not have enough locker space to comfortably accommodate the players currently on the team.
Locker rooms are not the only area in need of improvements. As one community member pointed out, track involves the most students and would generate the greatest community interest as well as the most revenue. A preliminary quote from Sports Construction Group set the cost at $800,000 for a project encompassing a turf field, asphalt track, multi purpose building and improved bleachers. As exciting as such a plan might sound Wilson advised that the process was still in its early stages: "Again, these are just ideas, we're not saying were going to do this, that's why I wanted to meet with everybody and get some direction."
The consensus of all in attendance was that, in any scenario, no tax dollars should be used and no money should be drawn from the district's general fund to pay for the project. Superintendent Wilson explained the money would be raised with permanent improvement funds set aside for the purpose of improving school property, donations and grants awarded by various programs. "Everyone in this room agrees we need to do something with the bleachers," said Wilson. "If we can do something with our field and our facility and keep it within our parameters financially that's even better."

The 5 Greatest Revenge Matches in MMA History
Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir (UFC 100)
The Brutal, Dickish Revenge
Brock Lesnar is a human cheat-code. He is 300 pounds of muscle and judging by the way he darts around, I don't think mass and inertia were properly explained to him. He has so much wild animal meat inside him at any time that bears unsheath their penis bones when his scent catches the wind. Brock Lesnar is exactly what you would use if you were making an army of super clone soldiers, which explains why his outgoing voicemail message is, "I am one of you, ordinary human. You can tell me where the resistance is hiding after the beep."
Brock is such a physical beast that in his first UFC fight, his second MMA fight ever, he got matched up against the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Frank Mir. Despite having about 70 seconds of professional fighting experience, Brock was manhandling Frank. He threw him down, punched him down, and scientists everywhere started calling each other, trying to figure out which of their colleagues had finally figured out how to turn into the Hulk.
Frank is a crafty submission artist, though; and while Brock was standing over him and deciding which part to smash, Frank expertly pulled him into a kneebar and tapped him out. It gave hope to martial artists everywhere that they might stand a chance in a Bigfoot attack if his joints work like ours. They don't. In fact, that's where Bigfoot keeps his milk sacs. All you're going to do is cover yourself in salty ape whey, but I'm getting off topic. After this fight, Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar both turned into impossible assholes.
Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir I:
For a year and a half, Frank told everyone about how stupid Brock was for getting caught in such a basic kneebar. Frank also told everyone how awesome he was for pulling off such a brilliant kneebar. Being a dick is more of an art than a science. Brock's approach to the trash talking was more primal. He was going to revenge fuck Frank Mir's corpse until his ghost had a baby.
When they had their rematch at UFC 100, complicated circumstances had led to each of them being a UFC Heavyweight Champion. Not only would they unify the belt, we'd finally see who was deadliest: Ardipithecus or Douchebag. The fight started like their first one-- Brock used his secret technique of being fifty times stronger to hold Frank down by his neck and face and punch him. The only moves Frank managed to land were several thumbs up to his corner to signal that he was still alive, somewhere under the feasting manananggal.
One criticism of Brock's fighting technique is his lack of patience. In his early MMA fights, he tended to frantically whack at his opponents like his mother just deleted his save game. This never really mattered since a sloppy half-punch from Brock Lesnar is an extinction level event for spinal fluid. He has more muscles in his forearms than a clown has in his four freezers. Brock had to marry a pro wrestler because when he shifts in his sleep it's the equivalent of The Bushwackers Irish-whipping you into a steel ladder. However, Brock's thirst for revenge had focused his rage. He wasn't spazzing away with tiny shots-- he was measuring his punches in pure hate. By the end of the first round there was so much of Frank's face on Brock Lesnar's knuckles that to this day, Frank can still taste it when Brock reaches into an elk's uterus to hide his valuables.
When Frank survived the first round, the remaining parts of his brain took one look at the beast that almost killed him and thought, "If we're not dead, that can only mean one thing: we are invincible." It's the only reason I can think of to explain why he got close to Brock and attempted a flying double knee. It had all the foresight of going to an Alabama family reunion without a condom. Sure enough, Frank bounced off and fell onto his back. It was such an open invitation to a ravaging that I think he might have been trying to confuse and overload Brock Lesnar's sex glands.
Brock fell on him like he was working a jackhammer, and Frank's desperate attempt to roll away from the beating only made things worse. The referee stopped the fight right before it became a recipe for Swedish meatballs. Brock celebrated by taunting the bloody remains of Frank Mir. He screamed, "Talk all the shit you want now!" Then, mad with revenge, he started flipping off the crowd. Because seriously, fuck those guys for just sitting there and letting him liquify a human. 12,191 MMA fans in attendance and none of them thought to bring tranquilizer darts? That's poor planning. There aren't enough Coors Lights in The Mandalay Bay Events Center to drop a Brock Lesnar after it's made a fresh kill.
Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir - The Revenge Match:
Fred Ettish vs. The Sport of MMA (CFX Gladiator Evolution)
The Symbolic Revenge
When Fred Ettish made his pro debut in 1994 at UFC 2, he suffered one of the worst losses in the sport's history. His opponent was a kickboxer named Johnny Rhodes who had what seemed to be a 400 pound weight advantage. It was an onslaught of tragic comedy. It looked like a hobo broke into a karate studio and started beating up a nine-year-old and everyone was content to see how it played out. Through a series of unblocked incoming punches and ineffective outgoing kicks, Shorin Ryu Matsumura Kenpo Karate seemed to be telling Fred, "I've been lying to you your whole life!" Very quickly his strategy became curling into a ball and hoping the local blood bank was well-stocked and didn't charge extra for poor decisions.
Needless to say, The Internet was a total dick about it. Websites were devoted to Fred Ettish's fetal fighting style and for fifteen years he was a cruel punchline. For instance, just look at the end of this very sentence where I say that he lost at UFC 2 so badly that police dogs still confuse his scent for missing battered women.
Two years ago, 53-year-old Fred Ettish decided he had had enough of this shit. He wanted to get back in the cage and avenge his loss. At age 53, that would be crazy, right? Kind of, but Fred's problem was never a lack of balls. He signed to fight a kid named Kyle Fletcher in Brainerd, Minnesota. Ettish wanted revenge on an entire sport, and poor Kyle Fletcher just became the face for it.
When the bell rang, Fred kept Kyle away with front kicks. They were effective, so Kyle tried one of his own. Kyle learned an important lesson in combat: when two people are throwing front kicks, the slower one gets smashed in the dick. Fred is a sportsman and didn't intend to step on the dick of the allegorical representation of his vengeance, but I imagine it felt pretty good. In his mind, thousands of his Youtube critics had just started peeing blood. Or as they might describe it, "lol call 9/11 my dum n****r penis is pee bleding."
Kyle came back and almost knocked Fred out with a knee, but remember what we learned from UFC 2: Fred Ettish can stay awake through 38 different types of clinical deaths. Ettish remained calm and fought off a clumsy guillotine attempt by Kyle. When the fight was back on the feet, Fred slammed Kyle into the mat and drove punches into him until he tapped. Fred Ettish didn't simply get revenge-- this 53-year-old man fucked the God of Revenge's girlfriend.
Cheick Kongo vs. Pat Barry (UFC Live on Versus: Kongo vs. Barry)
The Instant Revenge
Frenchman Cheick Kongo is an intimidating slab of dark continent. A fight fan might know him as the man who elbowed Paul Buentello in half. A non-fight fan know him as the awesome-sounding name on his wife's bucket list. If Cheick Kongo was standing behind Abraham Lincoln when he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, the South would have totally agreed.
Unfortunately, intimidation doesn't work against Pat Barry. When he took on Crocop, the most dangerous kicker who ever lived, Pat stopped fighting to give him a hug. Pat Barry has so little concept of danger that his cause of death is probably going to be dry humping a gorilla in front of a camera phone.
In a pre-fight interview, Pat Barry laid out his strategy to negate Cheick Kongo's significant reach advantage. "As soon as we start, I'm going to throw some bombs at his head." Cheick didn't need a translator for that because thanks to the last few centuries, every French person recognizes the phrase, "I'm going to throw some bombs at his head," in at least 20 languages.
Two minutes into the fight, Pat Barry executed his strategy perfectly. He stepped in and blasted an overhand right into the side of Cheick's head. Kongo went down and scrambled to escape, but every direction he tried led to a Pat Barry fist in his face. Referee Dan Miragliotta watched Pat deliver what most referees would consider to be three knockout victories. Half the punches seemed to be waking Cheick up while the rest put him back out until finally, miraculously, he wobbled to his feet. Pat, almost as a technicality by this point, moved in to punch him all the way out. Little did he know that while Cheick Kongo was rolling around on the mat wondering where the fuck he was, he was hatching an elaborate revenge plan.
While he stumbled backwards on jelly legs, Cheick flung a right hook into the blurry figure trying to kill him. It made contact with something, so he threw an uppercut. Both punches hit as perfectly as any punches ever thrown and Pat Barry went limp. He was somewhere beyond human pain, moving towards a beautiful light. Meanwhile, back in the Octagon, Dan Miragliotta was letting Cheick bonk him in the head fifty or sixty times in case one of them woke him back up. It was only fair. There was so much brain damage caused in this fight that both men are now required to wear Surgeon General's warnings.
