It is a fascinating exercise to think back to a few relevant pieces of David Ortiz's recent past.
There was the start of the 2009 season, when the slugger's future was very much in question. He was terrible in April, worse in May, and through the first two months of the year, suspicions grew in volume that he was done as a productive hitter. He owned a .185 average, .284 OBP, .287 slugging mark, .570 OPS and just one homer through almost a third of the season. Questions were being asked about his bat speed, about his age.
He answered them.
But, even though he was once again excellent down the stretch, the questions returned in April 2010, when Ortiz again was terrible out of the gate. He was benched against lefties, relegated to part-time duty, hitting .143/.238/.286/.524 with just one homer through his team's first 23 games in April. Again, questions.
Again, Ortiz answered them.
He was an All-Star in 2010 thanks to a ferocious performance starting in May, and he was even better when returning to the All-Star game in 2011.
This offseason, his future was uncertain. For the first time since signing with the Red Sox in January 2003, Ortiz reached free agency, and so even though he wanted to return to Boston and the Sox wanted him back, it remained to be seen whether the market dynamics would work out to return him to Boston.
They did, and now Ortiz is off to an even better start in 2012 than he was in 2011.
Ortiz is 36, past the expiration date for the productivity of most sluggers. And yet he is amidst a stretch in which he has been as impressive as at virtually any point in his storied career.
The exclamation point was put on that concept on Sunday, when Ortiz went 3-for-4 with two doubles and the game-winning RBI in the Red Sox' 6-4 win over the Rays. With hits in each of his first three at-bats, Ortiz extended his streak of consecutive at-bats with a hit to seven (he had two singles, a double and homer in his last four at-bats on Saturday), tied for the second longest such run in his career. (He had an eight at-bat streak from July 18-20, 2000, and a seven at-bat streak on Sept. 26-27, 2007.)
Yet even more impressive than the streak was the way in which he achieved it. All three of his hits on Sunday came against Rays left-handed phenom Matt Moore, a pitcher who throws effortless mid-90s gas.
First at-bat: Ortiz took an 83 mph slider, then ripped a 94 mph fastball over the head of Ben Zobrist in right for a double.
Second at-bat: Ortiz fouled a first pitch changeup, then rocketed a 96 mph fastball into the teeth of the shift, ripping it with such force that Rays shortstop Sean Rodriguez could not convert his diving attempt at the ball. Single.
Third at-bat: Runner on first, game tied, Ortiz saw a 94 mph first pitch fastball and sent a rocket to straightaway center field for the game-winning double, a ball hit with such force that it seemed capable of knocking down the wall.
Moore is a lefty whose stuff inspires managers to sit their lefties. Ortiz made life look easy against him. On the season, Ortiz is now 6-for-13 (.462 with two doubles, a .500 OBP and 1.115 OPS) against lefties.
At the start of spring training, manager Bobby Valentine wondered aloud whether Ortiz could repeat his incredible 2011 performance against southpaws. His impressions of Ortiz facing lefties now?
"I can't tell if it's a lefty or a righty [facing him]. He has the same at-bat from the first inning to the ninth, regardless of who's throwing, whether it's soft hard, in or out," said Valentine. "It's a determined at-bat. And when you have that kind of determination often you get some success, and he's been very successful."
Hitting coach Dave Magadan has been with Ortiz through the struggles, and so he is in position to smirk at the thought of the questions that surrounded the slugger during his poor starts in 2009 and 2010. And he can afford to make light of the notion that Ortiz, who was a free agent this past offseason for the first time in nine years, faces no guarantees about his future in Boston.
Magadan said Ortiz, who shed quite a bit of weight this offseason and is perhaps leaner and more fit than he has ever been with the Red Sox, looked like a "man on a mission." Asked to define that mission, Magadan mused, "Probably to get another contract, right? And for us to win a lot of games. There's no question that he's a rallying point on the team. When he's going well, he's excited and he's into the game, he's getting big hits, he leads us. It's pretty infectious. I told him a couple years ago, he's got a lot of baseball left in him. He's showing that so far this year."
It is still terribly early, with just 5.5 percent of the season having been consumed. Still, Ortiz has looked terrific to date, hitting .444/.475/.694/1.169 thus far.
"He's been having great swings all season," said first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. "We're really feeding off of him. He's been carrying us."
That development makes it interesting to consider the fleeting questions at the start of this past offseason about Ortiz's future. He was ready to test the market at the start of the free agency period, but ultimately, he elected to accept the Sox's offer of salary arbitration, and thus to ensure that he would be back in Boston in 2012 on a one-year, $14.575 million deal. That was an outcome that the Sox -- including Valentine, whose first act after being introduced as Red Sox manager was to jump on a plane to the Dominican to introduce himself to Ortiz -- wanted to achieve.
"It wasn't as though I had to convince anyone about his importance," said Valentine. "I definitely wanted to let him know that the new guy really wanted him and I think that's basically all I said. That I always appreciated watching him from afar and I know how important he is to any team and I wanted him on mine."
Ortiz is back, and off to as impressive a start as he has ever had. Already, with April now halfway over, he has twice as many hits this month (16) as he had in all of April 2010 (8). He is demolishing pitches from one of the game's most heralded left-handed flamethrowers.
Two and three Aprils ago, questions were asked about whether the Sox might get rid of him. Now, the more relevant inquiry is where the Sox would be without him.
"I think he just likes proving [critics] wrong," said Magadan. "I think it was three years ago that everyone was writing him off and a lot of us here in Boston felt like he still had a lot of baseball left in him. He was doing a lot of mechanical things incorrectly. He was thinking a little bit too much pull. Whenever you see a guy taking batting practice and the ball is coming in 16 mph and he can hit a ball 450 feet in batting practice, he's still got bat speed. I know a lot of that bat speed was questioned a few years back, but we all believed in him and he believed in himself and the rest is history."

Sometimes getting sideways is the best approach for home decor. While perusing the new pieces at Dunn's Furniture and Interiors we noticed a new display with an outstanding take on the plant holder. Simply turned on the side and placed on the wall, a plant holder takes on an entirely new function.
In their vignette, Dunn's designers stuck with the stand's roots and went with a plant. But, anything could go. Try hanging several in a vertical line on a skinny wall that needs some oomph. With the right dimensions and a sturdy hanging, the planter could easily serve as host to books or even framed photos.

Feufollet's defining new album, En Couleurs, takes the band to new creative heights.
Like many bands in the traditional music genre, Feufollet, which formed 13 years ago as a group of precocious teenagers adroitly picking up the banner of Cajun music, made its name mining and re-working a rich catalogue of heritage recordings. But late last year, the band entered the studio armed with a batch of original songs which, for the first time, make up the bulk of a Feufollet album...
"We knew early on that this was going to be really different and pretty special," says singer and guitarist Anna Laura Edmiston, who penned three tracks on the new album.
En Couleurs is similar in style to its 2008 predecessor, Cow Island Hop — the acclaimed genre-bending album that garnered national attention from the likes of NPR's American Routes and All Things Considered — but features the band going even further in its incorporation of new instruments and arrangements. Like an expert chef who can re-invent a classic dish with his own signature touch, Feufollet brings a fresh approach to traditional Cajun music.
"Having our own original material really opened the gate as far as being creative and experimenting with new sounds," Edmiston says. "There's a lot more of a fusion of genres. It's inevitable to hear our musical influences when we're introducing original material."
The Chris Stafford-penned "Toujours en Mouvement" brings the band fully into the realm of indie and roots rock, while elsewhere on the album, the band gets more experimental. Four color-titled interludes introduce and deconstruct segments of songs from the album, revealing melodies in a slightly different hue. On "Ouvre La Porte," the band takes a 1930s Alan Lomax field recording of Elita Hoffpauir and turns it into a poppy waltz, with bright melodies played on piano and glockenspiel. Lomax's other contribution to the album comes in the form of a sample of the famed anthropologist speaking about his recordings that then dissolves into a backbeat of drums and looped guitar.
With the advent of their original material (in addition to Stafford and Edmiston, guitarist Josh Caffery and friend and collaborator Blake Miller also wrote songs for the album), Feufollet may be only beginning to make its mark.
"I would definitely think that this album is defining," Edmiston says. "But of course our sound will always continue to evolve."
Feufollet hosts a CD release party for En Couleurs this Saturday, May 8, 8 p.m., at the Blue Moon Saloon and Guesthouse. Read Dege Legg's "Posthaste" with Anna Laura Edmiston on Page 34.
The U.S. rep billed LSU for work allegedly performed on the same days Congress voted on major legislation and held important committee hearings on energy and the ACA.
"I am only getting a little nervous about two projects — the proposed Sasol GTL facility [not the new ethylene plant] and the proposed G2X facility — both in Lake Charles. They need a hefty difference between oil and natural gas prices to make sense."
Abysmally low participation by the public has prompted the council to scuttle the 2014 survey with plans to simplify it and try again next year.
The village now says the ordinance will likely be overturned and authorities will more vigorously enforce existing leash laws.
Lower oil prices also might slow the growth of oil production in parts of the U.S., Canada and elsewhere because it will no longer be so profitable.

New document describes two-pronged approach to cyber protection
The Homeland Security Department released a new cybersecurity strategy document with a two-pronged approach: protecting critical infrastructure today and building a more secure cybersecurity ecosystem for the future.
The Blueprint for a Secure Cyber Future was released on Dec. 12 as a framework for responding to evolving cyber threats.
The blueprint describes alignment of departmental activities with the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.
It also aligns with the White House's National Security Strategy and with DHS' 2010 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review.
"DHS is on the right track to split these two missions," Jason Healey, director of the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative, wrote in an article on Dec. 12. "The cyber ecosystem interconnects each and every person and device in cyberspace, which requires a very wide aperture with heavy emphasis on education and outreach. In comparison, protecting critical information infrastructure includes a much smaller (but still dauntingly large) number of companies and organizations with different laws, including some regulatory authority."

Question & Answers
Brush past the sharks
What does it actually mean by 'brush past the sharks'. I'm on level 11 and I need to brush past 10 in 1 game. I've been past more than 10 in one game but obviously not "brushed" past them!!
Answer from: Ju
I have the same problem. Please help us
Answer from: Erin
In order to "brush past" a shark, you have to get really close to them. If you watch closely, there is a little bubble/sparkling thing that appears as you pass some sharks. It's almost like you get close enough to bop them on the head. That is the only way to tell - look for the sparkly bubble.

"Very happy with how my sons birth announcement came out! The template made it so easy. I just added the info and picture."
"We were very happy with this card - the print and card quality were excellent! The gold is probably not as shimmery as the picture on the website makes out but it still looks excellent and we expected this as it says that it is printed without any metallic ink or foil. We chose the pearl paper which was really nice. We're in Australia and it came really promptly. We used Wedding Paper Divas for our wedding invites and I will use Tiny Prints again for sure!"
"We used this card with full color pictures, and the printing came out great. I put a photo on the back with the patterned background, which was a little busy, but still cute. Very well designed, great printing job, and the shipment delivered early!! I would totally recommend this card!"
"I picked this card for our 2nd child's birth announcement. I edited these and ordered the matching address labels straight from the hospital bed on my iPad. Easy! We love everything about this design."
"Beautiful card. Excellent card quality. Changed it from a birth announcement to a Thank You card. I kept the black and pink colours and only changed the wording at the very bottom to - our long awaited baby girl. On the back I added another photo and Thank You for your lovely gift with our names. Everyone has commented on how beautiful they are. Really pleased with them and will be keeping one for her memory box."

Roy Joseph Codere, a ten-year resident of Colville, passed away on July 23, 2014 in Spokane at the age of 82. He was born on Sep.8, 1931 in Lake Linden, MI to Stanley and Eliza¬beth (Racine) Codere.
Roy started his education in Lake Linden and gradu¬ated high school there in 1949. After graduating, he went into the United States Air Force in 1952 and in 1956 was hon¬orably discharged.
Roy met the love of his life, Barbara Smith, when he re¬turned to Detroit, MI. The two were married on August 24, 1963 and started their life together. He started working in the grocery business and later on the couple had their own store. Roy and Barbara worked side by side for sev¬eral years before selling the store and moving to South Caro¬lina. When Roy re¬tired in 1993 from Diamond Boardt tool manufacturing, the couple moved to Florida and Roy ended up getting a part-time job at the local grocery store just to keep busy.
Roy loved to tend to his flower gardens and all the flower- beds around the house; he was an outdoor kind of guy. He also loved to read books, loved to laugh and was an all-around teaser. Roy was always looking for that next laugh and had a great since of humor. He had a love for life and a love for all those around him.
Roy was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife of almost 51 years, Barbara Cod¬ere; his sisters-in-law, Nancy Tower and her husband, Bill; Judy Austin and her husband, Leon; his closest niece, Karen Ramanauskas, and her husband, Steve, along with several other nieces and nephews.
A memorial mass for Roy will be held on July 30 at 11 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Parish in Colville.
Please go online to www.danekasfuneralchapel.com and sign the guestbook.
Danekas Funeral Chapel is entrusted with the arrange¬ments.

In a related issue - surveillance. During the entire lead up to this remarkable speech, King's phone calls with his advisers were wire-tapped, ordered by Robert Kennedy, Attorney General, and compiled by J Edgar Hoover. And we think surveillance is a new issue! Hoover's analysis concluded with the observation that "King was the most dangerous Negro in America." Wow.

I think the characteristic that sets leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.,
Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela apart is that not only did they want equal
rights for their own, they wanted it for their "enemies." They wanted a
world where there was unity and racial equality, where members of all races
could live in peace and brotherhood.
Some others wanted - and still want - to raise the status of their own race by reducing or eliminating that of their former oppressors. Some advocate violence and/or contention as a means to get the equality they deserve. That sentiment is not in harmony with the teachings of men like King, Gandhi, and Mandela.

Morning rush hour traffic in the Belgian capital was reduced to a snail's pace when truckers from the country staged a protest angry at cheap labour from Eastern Europe.
They claim its impossible for them to work for the same rates and want, in the words of their slogan, "Equal wages for equal jobs."
The truckers met up at five different locations in Belgium to form convoys into the capital. They say the open borders within the EU are not matched by harmonised social legislation. They want the EU to act to protect their livelihoods.
Their demands include tougher checks and a clampdown on illegal practices which they say exploit the eastern European drivers.
Dirk Segers, representative for the group, "Owner Drivers United", said: "The people from eastern Europe are driving for 20 euro cents a kilometre, it is terrible. We cannot drive on those prices. Our price has to be two euros per kilometre, minimum," and added: "From January until now I think in Belgium there are already about 100 companies bankrupt because of that. So it has to stop, we are selling out Belgium, its terrible."
The European Parliament is currently debating laws to counter practices in which companies take shelter in member states with the least social legislation.

China's inbound M&A deal value hits new high
Publication Date : 27-08-2014
Foreign inbound mergers and acquisitions in China soared in terms of value during the first six months of the year, with multinational companies further honing their strategies and expanding their presence, a report said on Tuesday.
The report, released by global consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, said foreign firms clinched deals worth $12.5 billion during the first six months of the year in China, up from around $8.4 billion in the second half of 2013. It also marked the fourth consecutive increase in value terms in the firm's semi-annual survey.
According to Roger Liu, PwC's mainland/HK deal PE leader, the momentum in the first half was provided by Singapore-based Overseas-Chinese Banking Corp Ltd's $5 billion acquisition of Wing Hang Bank. "Other than that, Europe is still the main source of foreign strategic buyers in China," he said.
On the other hand, China's outbound M&A activity continued to track close to the elevated levels seen in the second half of 2013, though it did not exceed the peak seen last year.
"Privately owned enterprises in China continue to be a driving force for outbound M&As, as outbound deals by State-owned enterprises slowed, perhaps due to the SOE reforms," said Gabriel Wong, lead partner for corporate finance at PwC China.
According to the report, telecommunications, technology and real estate were important sectors for private companies going overseas and showed rapid growth from last year. "Private firms are seeking new markets for growth, technologies to bring back to China, and diversified investment opportunities," Wong said.
In terms of the number of deals, Europe and Oceania have become more popular with China's outbound investors, while M&A transactions in the United States and Asia saw a slight decline.
More cross-border M&A activities were witnessed in an overall robust market, with total M&A deal value in China soaring to $183 billion in the first half of 2014. M&A activities in the first half of the year were notably strong thanks to growing competition for assets prompted by industry consolidation, companies searching for organic growth, and reconstruction of SOEs, Liu said.
Although the number of deals remained broadly flat overall compared with the second half of 2013, the deal sizes were bigger, with 30 deals larger than $1 billion.
Private equity firms in particular are becoming more successful in finding larger deals - nine deals were larger than $500 million in the first half, and the value of new PE investments also hit a record high.
"We anticipate the healthy trend in China's M&A market to continue into the second half of 2014, mainly driven by domestic transactions amid SOE restructuring, outbound deals led by private companies and an active PE market," Liu said, adding that such activities will center on technology, financial services, and real estate.
"Outbound M&As by SOEs may slow as many of these firms will focus on domestic reforms. However, they are expanding their presence in Hong Kong as a platform for future outbound activity," he said.

Hi everyone! Long time no see! <3
A brief description of what's been going on for me:
School has been really busy! I finally got past a huge hurdle that's been on my mind these past months, so it's a great relief. But, there's still LOTS more to do, so I won't be able to resume blogging completely just yet.
I have, actually, been going on our ask.fm the most lately, so if you would like to keep in touch with me, just visit our ask page! It's a lot easier than writing full posts, and you guys can still interact with me and get quality responses/opinions :)
Wow that took so long to type and phrase, it's difficult getting back into blogging-mode after so long! Sorry if I sound different and not as sophisticated as usual… And I was completely confused when I logged into Fantage at first too, because so much has changed.
Speaking of changes, since I'm here, I'll post the most recent update on Fantage. I know I missed the Halloween event and the release of the PM Boutique (I knew it was only a matter of time before they closed down Vintage Gold, whoohoo!). I don't want to go too far back because that would be so many things to post, so I will update you on the most recent thing :)
This really shocked me, because Fantage has rarely ever asked us for our opinions before, especially in such an informal manner! We've had votes before during events, but those were always inside the game.
From what I inferred, this new "clubhouse" idea is a user-based forum outside of the game. For those of you who don't know what a forum is, it's pretty much a place where you can create topics to discuss with other people! Sort of like this blog, but in a forum, anyone can make a post and anyone can comment.
I guess they want ideas for what the forum should be about, which is why they created a survey! The survey can be found at this link:
It's really simple: just choose up to five topics that interest you, and add an optional comment at the bottom. This is what I put:
I feel that half of these don't even make sense though, like economics, physics, philosophy, psychology, entrepreneur, and job, because how would kids know anything about those??
And oh my goodness, if you value your sanity, please do not choose "Boys" or "Girls," as if there wasn't enough drama already on Fantage itself…
I also thought it was extremely unsophisticated of them to use a Google Form. Google products are awesome, but I don't think it's appropriate in this case. For one, anyone could have filled out this survey and put a fake username (or even posed as someone), and two, people can submit these as many times as they want. The results won't be accurate, but I am still glad that they are starting to ask for our opinions!
Like we mentioned in the "We Need a Break" post, we won't be back until December. Hopefully by then this Clubhouse idea will be put into action!
I know this post was a little short and doesn't cover many updates at all, but hopefully you found it useful nonetheless.
Before I leave, I wanted to thank you all for continuing to visit this blog even though we haven't been updating; your dedication means SO much to me ^_^
I also wanted to thank you for respecting the comments section and not abusing it. I was so happy that I did not see a single spam/inappropriate comment!
See you in December, and until then, continue being awesome! >_<
I've just finished reblogging some of the older updates, sorry we've been behind! I decided to post something myself since I haven't in a while and I feel bad for just leaving you guys hanging.
First thing that went through my mind when I logged on to Fantage after like 2 weeks of absence:
SO much has changed, and I'm overwhelmed by how nearly all the updates require gold.
Before the update, when you logged in, Max greeted you with your daily login check mark and the recent news on Fantage (took me forever to find a screenshot of this!)
I think they haven't changed this since Fantage was first created, so I guess it's cool that they updated it!
It matches well with the modern look of everything else on Fantage, and it's a lot more… gold.
They kept the daily award thing, but made it even better! It's on a range of 12 days now instead of 7, and the prizes are way better than stars:
I don't think you have to log in consecutively, but if you miss too many days, you won't be able to get to the super awesome gift at the very end because you won't have enough stamps. It looks like the prizes are Cody's Crazy Combos free draws, My Mall permissions, and Lucky Bot free draws.
My first impression:
My second impression:
My third impression:
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WITH THIS UPDATE??? I'm not sure whether I should rejoice (because there will be no more need for "wun tryouts"), laugh until my abs (flabs) hurt (because this is just ridiculous), or feel insulted (because Fantage apparently thinks we don't have friends on Fantage).
This is even worse than the "wun tryouts." I mean, at least there are "tryouts," so you get to (sorta) know the person before "getting together"!! This is no different than buying a pet from the pet store.
On a more serious note, I feel that this update is absolutely degrading and puts the wrong message in kids' minds, because it implies that:
1. A "bestie" has to be someone of the opposite gender for you to be considered "cool"
2. Friends can be bought with money
3. Friends can be customized to how you want them (e.g. race, appearance)
All of which are absolutely false. I may be taking this a little too seriously, but honestly, if Fantage is going to sell us a friend, at least make it a pet??
I'm obviously not going to buy it, but if you want to know what it does, just Google "Fantage bestie," and you will find YouTube videos of people messing around with it. Apparently, it talks to you.
Personally, I think buying a "bestie" is no different from wearing this sign around your neck, except this sign is free ;D
Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed this meme-filled post, in comparison to the normal ones! I probably won't be able to reply, but it's nice to have feedback :)

If you get on the Top Ten, you get a medal. It levels up to 99, and it's for nonmembers too!
If you're one of the top 100, you get a gold medal on your kiosk. I haven't seen any kiosk with a medal on it, though.

So this is the first time I have checked the blog in say…2 weeks? Life is basically torture for me right now.
I've never really made a post like this before, but my sweet 16 is coming up and I really wanted to celebrate it with you guys. So on my birthday (the 18th), hopefully, I will post a video of me and basically a big mushy gushy speech about why I appreciate you guys so much. I want you guys to all know that I am still here, I am still alive, I still support you all, and I really miss you guys </3. How can you be a part of this? I want you to ask me anything or tell me anything. You can ask me by video or by word, and I will answer your questions and share your video clips in this upcoming video I will make. You can send anything you want to email@example.com, but know it will be part of the video!
I'm really really really really really sad that I can't help update this blog for this school year, so maybe I'll pop in once in a while and do special things like this. I just really want to still be involved with everyone and this amazing blog. It's been approximately 2 years since I started Fantageville and I'm just not ready to let it go, it has been such a big part of my life!
Anyway, I am also here to let you know that one way I will be active with the blog is that I will still answer ask.fm questions. Although I may answer them only like once a week or once a month, I'll answer them all no matter what. Doesn't matter who you are talking to, I will answer them :)
So I hope you guys are having much fun with the blog and stay active please! I don't want Fantageville to slowly wither away to nothing. Love you guys, and thanks for everything <3
I will only be coming on every Friday night at the very most. My items for sale have been posted on a Google Doc already, but I need to arrange a time to do it! Remember that all updates are on the Blog News post.
Enjoy this awesome post from MyFantageInfo, by cindy_lee_9, on:

There's also a new category, Games, that you have to buy with gold.
I didn't buy it, so I don't know how it's like. Is it about real life games or Fantage games?
I like this update :D
Book It or Bucket is a bit glitchy, though. Sometimes there's no question, just blank space, and then everyone gets the bucket. -_-
Gold is spreading…
We can now do Lucky Bot with gold or ecoins.
You can also buy gems with gold.
I have nothing against these updates, since Fantage was nice enough to give you an option of ecoins or gold. But Fantage must know that we would rather…

So, now for the good stuff about the event. There is a new game called "Book it or Bucket", apparently it's a quiz game.

It is found in the Off the Hook Area of the school, second floor gym.

UFC On Fox 9: Chad Mendes vs. Nik Lentz Full Video Highlights
Former UFC featherweight challenger Chad Mendes put on another impressive performance last night as he topped featherweight contender Nik Lentz in a three round beat dow. The fight was the co-co-main event of the UFC On Fox 9 card in Sacramento.
Mendes seemed to run out of steam at the end of the second round but we now know he came in fighting an illness. Even with a sinus infection Mendes managed to put on a dominant performance. Lentz rallied late in the fight but it wasn't enough and Mendes took home the unanimous decision win.
Prior to his loss to Mendes, Lentz was on a three fight win streak since dropping down to 145lbs and has looked impressive. But "The Carny" never had any answers to Mendes' early onslaught in the first round.
Check out the full highlights of the fight below:

Great Table
Monica from ATLANTA, GA– Verified Buyer
I purchased this table because I had tall counter height chairs and I was moving no more counter.. This table was easy for my son-in law and grandson 6 yrs old(he actually drilled in some of the screws) to assemble and its quite sturdy.. I only wish it was black because I have to now sand and paint it.. However for the price its an excellent value...
Great table
JoAnne from Albuquerque, NM– Verified Buyer
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the color is very bright cherry. That is an easy fix with a little bit of stain. I love the size and sturdiness of this. It was easy to put together.
Used all the time
Scott from Boston, MA– Verified Buyer
So many ergonomic studies out there talk about the benefits of not sitting all day. This was a good addition for the staff so that they could stand and work. They are used rather frequently just as a change as well as for 1v1 meetings. Sturdy and good looking.
Julie from Steamboat Springs, CO– Verified Buyer
Love this table. Easy to assemble, very sturdy. I ordered two; one of them had a slight blemish on the top, but not a big deal. I'm considering ordering more of these.
Even better
Leslie Lundgren from Medford, OR– Verified Buyer
I am extremely happy with the table I purchased. Not only does it fit the description found online, but I was pleasantly surprised that seeing the table in person was even better than I had hoped. It was incredibly easy to put together, with easy to read instructions and it even included all the parts and tool I need for assembly.
Sara-Ann Savage-Wiedow from Florida
The product came fast and was a snap to assemble - love it! Thank You Wayfair!!! Had never dealt with Wayfair before but will definitely use them again and refer them to anyone looking to purchase furniture!

Melting snowbanks are revealing an ugly problem underneath. Trash is appearing on the sides of some Duluth streets.
Pop cans, plastic, bottles and bags littered the shoulders of 3rd Street near 10th Avenue West Friday morning.
Maintenance Operations Manager Kelly Fleissner tells Eyewitness News that the late-running winter is the reason they're not being cleaned up already.
At the Fleet Services building in West Duluth, city workers prepared two of the seven street sweepers. Fleissner said they will likely start sweeping streets the week of April 21, picking up dirt, sand and much of the trash. He said they would like to start earlier, but can't because of colder temperatures in the forecast.
"A critical part of sweeping operation is to pre-wet the sand so we're not spreading dust all over the community," Fleissner said.
If the temperatures are too cold, the pre-wet sand turns into a big chunk of ice.
Fleissner said after sweeping work begins, it will likely take a couple of months to finish.

Power transmission limits likely to be exceeded
"Imports from Colombia were low, thus making vulnerable our grid tail in western (Venezuelan) states"
"The grid was doing badly since last Sunday, as some states experienced outages. The situation would not better on Monday and it was noted that Planta Centro (Morón, Carabobo state) was operating only with one unit that provided 210 megawatts (MW)," explained international advisor José Aguilar.
Thermoelectric generation, added to 285 MW of Planta Termocarabobo, totaled about 495 MW coming out from the sub-powerhouse of Planta Centro, he spelled out. "Those 495 MW are insufficient for stability in the National Electrical Grid (SEN)."
"Imports from Colombia, based on the numbers provided by that country, were low, thus making vulnerable the tail of our system in western states, particularly in the Andean region," he added. The expert disclosed that it was unofficially learned that two units at Guri dam went out of the system.
Exceeded limits
According to the ex-general manager of the Office for the Operation of Interconnected Grids (Opsis), Miguel Lara, the failure occurred at 12:30 pm on Tuesday, at the beginning of the peak electricity demand. "Everything makes one infer that, again, they surpassed the limits of the transmission trunk."
What happened "is hitherto unheard-of. There could be two situations: one, there are plenty of deteriorated or unavailable devices, making difficult the recovery of the charge; two, technicians are not prepared for such contingency."
Gagging Twitter users
Pablo Jiménez Guaricuco was summarily dismissed from his Clerk III job at the Autonomous Service of Public Registries and Notaries' Offices (Saren). He read a notice published in a newspaper on November 5 informing the public that he was no longer employed to the Saren. He was sacked despite the fact that he was taking a leave of absence from work due to a work-related accident, and that he enjoyed security of employment under the parental job-immunity privilege. Most probably, the decision was influenced by his role as a union organizer. But what did he do, besides leading protests, to deserve the sack? Well, he allegedly sent off a series of tweets that definitely hurt the sensitivity of the Saren Directorate.

Chinese banks may invest up to $5bn Siberia electricity networks: report
May 22, 2014 - 11:56 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Chinese banks may invest up to $5 billion in the next five years in electricity distribution networks in Siberia, RIA Novosti reported, citing a source close to negotiations.
A Russian power company, Russian Grids, has signed a preliminary deal with China's state grid company, under which annual investments of Chinese banks in the projects of MRSK Sibiri, a subsidiary of Russian Grids, could reach from $500 million to $1 billion, the source said Thursday, May 22.
In September, a joint venture is expected to be established between China and Russian Grids, where the Russian company will have a controlling stake. Now talks are underway that the banks' annual interest rate will be fixed at 3.5 percent.
China will participate in the construction and reconstruction of electricity distribution networks, which could be managed by the Chinese side in future, the source said.
OJSC MRSK Sibiri transports electricity though distribution networks and connects consumers in the Russian republics of Altai, Buryatia, Tyva, Khakassia and the Altai, Zabaykalsk, Omsk, Kemerovo and Tomsk regions. In the wake of current standoff between Russia and the West over the Ukrainian crisis Moscow and Beijing have been cementing their business ties.
A number of documents in trade and economic, energy and humanitarian fields were signed during President Vladimir Putin's visit to China on May 20-21.
