"I'm very happy and greatly satisfied with the fight between Hasegawa and Montiel to materialize. Hasegawa, the great champ, made ten defenses to his credit and is going to receive an award from the WBC for being one of the very best world champions of 2009 . Montiel, the top and excellent Mexican champion, has been expecting to fight for the WBC belt for several years with the opportunity finally coming to him in one of the most interesting promotions in professional boxing. This fight has taken special attention by the Mexican press as well as Mexican boxing fans, and especially by the WBC. We would like to congratulate the promoter Akihiko Honda, for having signed such a good fight for the benefit of Japanese fans and also for the great revelation of Hasegawa as one of the very best boxers in the world today."

I am probably about to wade into one of the most controversial issues that effects the church and it's because it is a very personal issue for most people. The situation that has been burning in my heart for two days has to do with tithing and what scripture says about it. Yes I know that for many people this is a sacred cow and something you don't want to hear anyone preach on because you see it as a personal issue between you and God and I will agree with you that it is. However, God calls us to find wise counsel about personal issues all the time and how we use our finances, time and personal abilities are areas that I believe fall into that category. So let's take a quick look at the subject of tithing.
A tithe is defined as one tenth of what you have or earn that is set aside to give to someone else; as a means of support or obligation. In a Christian context it is the financial means by which the work of the church is done. Its tradition with in biblical context predates the law and is first recorded in Genesis 14:17-20;
17 After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; 20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!"
And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. (ESV)
Without any requirement set forth we see Abram give a tenth of all he has with him to the King of Salem, Melchizedek. Who is said to be the priest of the God Most High. It is not out of duty that Abram gives this tithe to Him. We understand that Abram was a God-fearing man, honorable in all things who sought to do the Lords will in his life and bring honor and glory to God's name. I may be wrong but that sets a precedent for why we pay tithes today. It is not out of obligation but out of a desire to honor God for all he has done for us just as he blessed Abram and showed him grace we also are recipients of that same grace.
Now I can hear the arguments in my head as to why people chose not to pay tithes as a Christian and the number one argument I hear is; it is an Old Testament practice that has been adopted by the church to ensure operational expenses are met and you might be right. However, scripture records that they practice of God honoring, God-fearing men gave to support the work of the temple and then when converted these same people gave to the Church often giving far more than a tenth of what they had received; an example is found in Acts 4:37 when Barnabas sells a field and gives the money to the early church. We see that the practice was continued in order to advance the gospel of Christ.
Another of my favorite excuses, "Well Jesus never taught on tithing" and yes he never directly tells us that we are to pay tithes to the church. However, we see a few examples of what can be described as His view of it. There is recorded in scripture a moment in time that might seem out of place if we fail to recognize that Jesus used every opportunity to teach His followers the ways of God. It's recorded in Luke 21:1-4 and Mark 12:41-44 and is the story of the widow and her two mites. This is not a parable but something that was witnessed by Jesus and His disciples that Jesus used to help them understand giving.
1 Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, 2 and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. 3 And he said, "Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. 4 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on." Luke 21:1-4 (ESV)
To be honest tithing was not something I have always understood and before I was saved it was a constant struggle with my wife who was saved and understood the principle better than I did. Often she would write a tithes check out and we would fight about it. However as I have grown closer to God and began to trust Him more and have recognized the grace He shows to me every day I understand tithing better than ever before. Some will argue that it is required of us to pay tithes basing it upon this statement form Jesus found in Mark 12:17 and we need to give God what is his. Just remember He already owns it all He is just allowing us the stewardship of it.
17 Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they marveled at him. (ESV)
However, I believe the tithe God really desires is not limited to a percentage of what we have but what we are willing to give to Him in a God honoring manner that shows our understanding of who He is and what He has done for us. When we determine to only give ten percent when we could give more do we limit what we think about God? When we are unable to give a tenth and decide that if I can't pay a proper tithe I won't give at all do we recognize our failure to honor God with what he has given us. It's not all about money when we tithe it is also about our time, God given gifts and abilities. Are we giving those things to God in a way that brings Him honor and glory? Tithing is a controversial issue by all measures of the word but as Christians it is important that we understand that God honors our sacrifices we make for His kingdom not that he needs what we have because He gave it to us to begin with. But because we have used it to honor Him in the world we live in. I challenge you to examine your view of tithing if you still don't see the need than maybe it's time to examine your relationship with Jesus. Have a blessed day as you walk in the light of God's Word.

Manchester City Must Change Tactics to Match Midfields of Chelsea and BarcelonaFebruary 14, 2014
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has two huge games to prepare for, with his side facing Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday and Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday. It's vital he adjusts his midfield set-up to compete against both opponents.
City can't play with two up front against the likes of Chelsea and Barca. Pellegrini needs to drop a centre-forward and play two holding midfielders, with Yaya Toure in an advanced role and perhaps the pairing of Jack Rodwell and Javi Garcia shielding the back four.
Fernandinho would of course be the obvious choice, but the Brazilian appears unlikely to be ready for either game, as per the Daily Mail.
Whoever plays there, when you come up against the better teams, you need to control the midfield areas.
Chelsea will play the same way they did in their league victory at the Etihad. Two defensive midfielders will play in front of Gary Cahill and John Terry, with the likes of Oscar, Eden Hazard and Willian working hard behind a main striker.
Nemanja Matic and David Luiz took up the holding roles against City in their recent clash, and they controlled proceedings. It was blatantly obvious where the game was won, and Chelsea's dominance in midfield meant they found space on the break.
If City want to break Chelsea down, they need to be patient. The key is to be stronger in the central areas, giving more freedom to Samir Nasri and David Silva in the attacking third. The answer is not just to throw on more attacking players—it simply doesn't work like that.
The approach should be no different against Barcelona, though Tata Martino's team of course represent a very different challenge. Barca's success all stems from the strength of Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta and Xavi in midfield. They control the ball and find space to play in Neymar, Alexis, Lionel Messi and Co.
When City were overwhelmed by Bayern Munich at home, earlier this season, Pellegrini defended his decision to set up in a 4-4-2—as per Reuters. "I will not change my tactics," he said. "Maybe because we are playing away, I do a different thing but, if I was to play that game again, I would do exactly the same."
That mindset has to change. You can get away with 4-4-2 against the lesser sides, but when you play the very best, it's absolutely essential you compete in midfield. If you don't, it becomes harder to score goals and restrict your opponent.
It's becoming rarer and rarer to play with two out-and-out centre-forwards at the highest level, for that very reason.
Ultimately, Pellegrini is doing very well. He's created a great atmosphere at City, and the players seem far happier than they were under Roberto Mancini. And they could still win everything this season. But to stand a chance, he must change the way he thinks about tactics.
Liverpool should focus on the Champions League
There's a lot of title talk around Liverpool at the moment, but for my money, they're far more likely to finish fifth than first. The focus should be on getting into the Champions League, and they still have some very big tests ahead of them.
They beat Arsenal inside the first 20 minutes and then relied on a late penalty to beat Fulham. It's great to see them winning, but with Tottenham picking up speed, I'd be more concerned about looking over my shoulder, than looking at the group fighting for the Premier League title.

Argentines savor politics at Peronist cafes
By Luis Andres Henao
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters Life!) - Dapper in a dinner jacket, a life-sized statue of Gen. Peron has a permanent table at "A Coffee with Peron," one of several theme cafes cashing in on nostalgia for the former president and his wife Evita.
Coffee and politics have long mingled in Buenos Aires' famous corner cafes, but the Peronist bars are drawing a new crowd of politicians, youth activists and curious tourists as the country gears up for a presidential election in October.
"Peron has always been in fashion but now more than ever I see the new generations' passion about him," said Lorenzo Pepe, 83, director of a government-funded institution that preserves Peron artifacts, as he sipped an espresso.
"A Coffee with Peron," which opened late last year, is housed in a restored cottage that used to be home to the strongman leader's butler and Evita's caretaker.
It lies on the site of the former presidential residence in Buenos Aires, which was demolished after Evita's death at the age of 33 to build the national library.
Pepe, who met Juan Domingo Peron during the leader's exile in Spain in the late 1960s, said nostalgia for the heyday of Peron and Evita was rekindled by the recent death of former President Nestor Kirchner, a life-long Peronist.
Besides the statue, Peron's books, handwritten letters and propaganda posters adorn the cafe.
With the glamorous Evita by his side, Peron nationalized railroads and utilities and expanded worker benefits, earning him hero status among many working-class Argentines. Continued...

I always get excited during these big projects like the driveway/fence/carport/porch/walkway one that we are in the midst of because I know that I am going to get a new crap pile out of it. Any wabi-sabi gardener worth her salt loves a good crap pile.
When they dug up the old garage floor and pseudo-driveway there was a LOT of concrete. Big chunks and little chunks and some slabs as well.
That's one of the reasons I was able to get my new front porch and walkway. They took most of the dug up stuff and filled the porch frame with it. Voila! No landfill trip, a new porch and a new crap pile! The rest of the concrete I am using in the what-is-someday-to-be a bird/butterfly/bee/frog oasis. I'm using them to line the paths. The paths themselves are being made from the mulch of the hackberry trees that we cut down.
Could we digress and talk about hackberry trees for a minute?
I know, I know, but they're trees and I, for one, do not cut down trees. Well, yes, you have a point, I did cut them down, but not without much wringing of the hands and gnashing of the teeth and drinking of the beer. Those gazillions of hackberry trees shaded my property somewhat fierce. They were full of bugs and birds and critters of all sorts and I do not take the razing of homes lightly, even if it is a home belonging to a bug. Alas, we did have to take some down to fit the new driveway and the new fence in, but we left a lot too. The ones we killed I mulched up.
Another digression - the terrifying industrial mulcher. I hated running that thing. It was like a wild and starving monster who used tree limbs as bait to get the good stuff - my limbs. I finally had to beg off and let Tom Cruz (yes, Tom Cruz is my yard dude) and Jackdaddy do it while I stood there fretting and worrying that the monster would eat them. But, I got a big ole' pile of mulch out of it and I feel glad that they are still in my yard in spirit. I wouldn't call it the prettiest mulch you've ever seen, but it was free and I love free.
Here's the pile (with Jackdaddy's new fence going up in the background):
Here is just one wheelbarrow full of the 345,698,938 stones that I have moved from the side yard into the someday-to-be bird/butterfly/bee/frog oasis (now officially known as the STBBBBFO).
This lovely pile of crap will someday be something cool like a bean pole tee pee. Another idea I may use is copied from Pedernales State Park's bird blind. I love their idea of using dead wood as bird feeders. They just have old logs and branches laying around and they put the bird seed in the crevices or on any flat spot. They all look so pretty and natural and the birds love them. Promise me if you go out there you will go to the bird blind. (I keep typing "bird bling" which seems really funny to me.) If you like birds and stuff, that is. If you go out there to drink beer and listen to Lynrd Skynrd, the bird blind might not be your cup of tea. Your cup of beer. (I'm not saying that's a bad thing.)
Here's my use of the busted up concrete as path liners. Again, not so beautiful except in a wabi-sabi kind of way.
I see such beauty in reusing what was already here. This house is so incredibly dear to me. I have been a gypsy since the age of 18. This is the first house I've lived in for more than 2 years in twenty-eight years! There is just something about this house that makes me feel really and finally at home. Knowing that I am only the second owner also makes me feel a special kinship with it and the yard. Every time we change something I think about Mr. and Mrs. Luetkenhoelter. They were once a young couple with a young family just like us. They must have planted and pruned and planned and dreamed just as we do now. So when I reuse everything I feel like I am keeping their spirit here, in a way. I like knowing that his garage floor is now my garden path and my front porch. That his gnarly old shed now has a fresh coat of paint and a bamboo door and it houses all my gardening stuff. I mean, it's still a gnarly old shed, but it is so wabi-sabi because it is functional as hell and I love it. Here's what it used to look like:
We did get rid of some of their stuff cuz there was a lot of stuff. When I did part with something I made sure it stayed in the neighborhood. Interestingly, everyone understood when I told them why I wanted to keep whatever-it-was close by. This hood has a lot of history and most of the people I run into here are really into that aspect of it. I thank the Luetkenhoelters often (not to worry, in my head) because they must have infused this place with a lot of love and care for it to feel so intensely right to me. I don't really believe in heaven and all that, but I do like to think of them as knowing I'm here and that I'm taking care of their place. And, based on what was here when we moved in, they would be really happy that I am continuing the fine tradition of crap piles.

Health risks of spaying your dog
I have an 18 month old Female German Shepherd, Sierra. I want to eventually get a male dog down the line. I don't plan on breeding her, but spaying is next on the list of to do or not. I know people will comment and say that she should be spayed in order to control overpopulation. I want actual health risks of spaying her versus if I left her all intact. This is my 3rd German Shepherd. My last female GSD was spayed after having a litter, she lived to 14 yrs old but her body weight, genetics, and probably some bad luck caused her to suffer from hip dysplacia. She would have continued on with life if it wasn't for the hips.
Your advice is kindly requested.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Well, there are probably more "pros" than "cons" for spaying, but it's a pretty narrow margin if you count out pregnancy prevention.
Spaying prevents pyometra (bacterial infection of the uterine lining, the risk gets higher with every "empty" heat cycle a female experiences) which is often fatal if untreated.
Spaying also reduces incidence and severity of mammary tumors (breast cancer) because the tumors respond to estrogen, produced in the ovaries (which are removed during a spay.)
The possible negative effects of spaying include the surgical risks (anesthesia and wound-healing complications) and later down the road it appears to increase the risk of urinary incontinence, orthopedic problems, obesity, and certain rare cancers (but these cancers are less common than pyo or breast cancer, so you have to weigh the risks.)
This page has a good rundown of all the scientific evidence on either side of the debate:

text: Just got my 86 cabby and I love it. But just after the second drive around the neighborhood. The car begins to sputter and eventually stall. I wait about 30 min and I am able to drive again for 15 more min before stall. The engine oil light blinks when it stalls. Also the battery light and O2 light come on. I searched this forum but could only find when the oil light blinks when NOTHING is wrong. Something is defiantly wrong with mine. The garage that used to service it just changed the oil and filter (with what brand I dont know) and said the car was meticulously taken care of. Could it be something simple or I am I in for a hard, expensive repair. Figures this would happen the first day I got it.

Well gents its finally that time. My favorite team, Texans taking on the home state in which I live. My flag fly's mighty proud in my front yard (and has for years) and my tattoo of the Texans bull is being shown off (even in this cold) a little bit more. This week is the week it boils down to. I will either come away victorious and happy and able to look my co workers in the face with a smile on Monday or will come away a loser and be blasted all season long. I hope our team is prepared for you high powered offense and I hope your defense is ready for our dominant run game. Good luck gents and hoping for an injury free game.

Tim Dobbins will fill in for Cush and make our run D that much better, but our pass coverage will def take a hit.
Dont look into Joesph getting man handled last night he's been dealing with a groin injury and he clearly wasnt 100%, I look for him to miss some time a practice this week and play next.
I think yall win this game 27-21
Welcome to our world.
That is a shame. I can understand guys getting beat up in this game but is so sad when it is season ending. We fear Benson will join Cushing on IR.
But you guys are so good you can overcome his loss so I'm thinking you'll win this one. I just hope we don't see any more guys go down like this next week for either team!

you guys are just way to complete of a team playing at a high level while the packers are full of talent that's tremendously under-performing
& even if the packers do beat the texans, there are still many question to be answered about the consistency this team can play with throughout the year (packers are notoriously slow starters under McCarthy with the exception of last year)
but something feels a little different about the team this year... & its not a good feeling for me
i could see us finishing under .500 & a coach getting fired (not MM though)
How on earth do you feel any different than when we were 4-4 after losing to a winless Bucs team in 2009?
Bad Oline play, questionable D because a lot of new pieces, no run game, Rodgers not on his A game....
Same movie, different year. We're going to be fine.
i understand, but i don't see that this year (not saying that we will continue our struggles into next season)
but there are some oddities so far this year that are seemingly impossible to overcome for some reason... the packers are simply not doing themselves any favors with execution & you can't win games like that unless you get teams that play like the week 2 bears every week & that's an oddity in itself
i had this bad feeling after the pre-season... its not just after losing to the colts
there are problems with this team that are fixable, but i dont have confidense in the staff to fix them this year until reality hits & i dont see that till the offseason
It would help if it were only one thing tho!
Our O line is struggling with a new center and Bulaga's sore knee. Aaron is not as accurate for some reason and is holding onto the ball too much. With Benson gone our running game, such as it was, is probably gone. Our WRs can't get separation and when they do they drop the ball. Our pass rush is inconsistent and Clay is back to getting double teamed. Smith is not anywhere near the player Bishop is. Woodson is getting long in the tooth and besides Williams our other DBs are very young and learning on the job. Crosby is having shankitis lately but Masthay is solid, thank heavens.

I just want to say I havent posted in 2 years, but still keep up on the forum, but after yesterdays game it prompted me to let some of my frustraion out. I dont know what the hell is going on with this team right now,I never seen a team fold like they did yesterday. Honestly, people on this board are funny as hell. I gurantee that if the Packers come out and play the way they are capable of playing and beat the Texans next week, everyone is gonna be on the bandwagon again. People are making it out that this team is gonna go 2-14. If they win or lose, I still have hope that they can make the playoffs. I do think the Rodgers and MM will turn around the teams play and make adjustments this week. They have always made them in the past, even if they start 2-4, they should win the next 3 games going into the bye. that would put them at 5-4 and maybe they can get things straightened out and go 2009ish run.
I agree. We've seen it from this team in the past. I remember them having a similar game against a winless Tampa team in 2009 where they dominated the 1st half then folded in the 2nd half. They responded by going 7-1 to close the season. In 2010 they lost back to back games in OT to subpar teams only to turn it around and go on a nice run ending in a Super Bowl.
For those still bashing Finley. They simply don't know what they are talking about. Statistically the Packers are a much better offense with him in there than without. That's not even debatable. The Packers average more than a TD less of production in games in which Finley didn't play.
In 2009 after Finley came back they averaged well over 30 PPG when they were struggling offensively earlier in the season. In 2010 the Packers were averaging 27 PPG with him in the lineup for the first 4 games then finished the season averaging a paltry 24 PPG after he missed the last 12 games of the season. While his actual production isn't that great the effect he has on the offense is quite clear.
The Packers were rolling offensively in the 1st half but couldn't do anything at all when Finley was out of the game. I must be watching completely different games than some of you guys. Dating 3-4 years back this is clearly a much better offense when Finley is in there than without him.
I can almost hear guys saying Finley is a drop waiting to happen but he does stretch the field like no other TE on the roster and the attention he gets opens up other guys.

Anyone think that beating this team could put the pack back on track and give our offense there swagger back? I mean i still wouldn't put money down on them winning or anything, but a solid W here could bring us back to our 2011 form.

I think so, This is a must win game for the pack, in the hopes of making the postseason go. Beating the team that is regarded as the best in the NFL is a huge momentum changer.

Absolutely, but looking at our roster, why are we 2-3? Why has Bulaga, Sitton, Finley, Nelson, Jennings, Rodgers, ect.... regressed from last year? Why are we lacking effort, missing tackles, running lazy routes ect... Its almost unexplainable.
Yeah, it is.

I have a feeling this will be the deciding game of our season. Right now I have absolutely no idea what to expect out of the Packers. I could see us ending up 11 and 5, or as bad as 6 n 10. We have the talent to win out, but the lack of composure to lose out as well.
If we come out and come away with the upset victory, we're right back in the mix.
If we come out playing well, but end up losing, we might still have a glimmer of hope.
If we get worked(I think we will) and lose by double digits, the season is pretty much over. Coming back from 2-4 to win the division is almost impossible, and the WC picture looks stacked.
I really, really do not like this match up. Reed and Barwin are going to be a tough match up for Bulaga and Marshall, I'm concerned but you have to hope they can hold their own.
Watt and company on the interior are what freaks me out. Our inside OL has been garbage, I honestly don't think we have a single positive match up on the offensive line. Watt is going to destroy any 1 on 1 he gets.
I predict 35 - 17 Texans. Watt will single handedly end drives, and Foster is going to run wild. I'm begging the football gods to make me look like an idiot and bring back the Packers I used to know.

i read somewhere today or yesterday that in addition to the dropsies, the finley playing wideout has really hurt the passing game too. When he's in at TE he can hit the seam faster which is what helps beat the 2 deep safety look weve seen all year
That and we need greg back in the slot or Cobb in the slot running slants to just tear them apart. we rely too much on the back shoulder which just doesnt seem to be there

This is what is really troubling me.
We all figured after last season if you add some pass rush, Tramon get back to normal, and add some depth to the D we would be golden. All of those things happened, and we are a much worse team.
Coaching sticks out to me at first glance. We've looked uninspired, have failed to make critical adjustments, and poor playcalling.
That being said, some players just look worse. Hard to tell if the play call was awful, or the execution.
I'm hoping its the coaching. It seems more likely to me our gameplans are failing, as opposed to half the roster regressing for no reason.
Probably just wishful thinking though.

Pretty much everything that's been said. This game IMO decides what kind of a team we are this year. I wouldn't have said this big we were 4-1 now which I predicted, because I wouldn't have felt as bad if we lose this one then. But we need to see if we can overcome the crap we have given so far and beat the Super Bowl favorites now. No more messing around. 2-4 is going to be tought to overcome, especially since there is a good chance someone is 5-1 in our division.

Well. One thing does have changed, indeed. The use of the accelerometer to control the rider, weighting his body back or forwards to keep balance the best way you can. Rule is: if you fall you must start over the level. It's as fun as tricky at the start, but the rag doll physics are well done and game restarts quickly, so addiction is guaranteed. Meanwhile, try to do all the stunts you can and file your best time before sharing your record via Openfeint. If you don't feel comfortable tilting your phone left and right your can change the controls from the settings menu and play with on-screen buttons, but it isn't by far as fun.

If Mississippi State keeps getting hitting from those two hottest Dogs, a ticket to Omaha is a bats-length away. Shortstop Frazier tied the game record with a 6-of-6 hitting afternoon, while rightfielder Renfroe went 4-of-5 as they combined for half of State's 20 base hits. The tag-team also scored four times and drove in seven runs.
All, coincidentally or not, coming on the heels of happy draft news. "Its a huge relief, for all of us really, to get it off our chest," said 13th overall selection Renfroe. "Its one less thing to worry about."
They certainly weren't worried in their super regional starts, as both hit safely in their first three turns and either scored or hit-in teammates. The joint production sparked State to plate runs in five of their first six innings and building as much as a 10-4 lead. "These guys got a few hits," under-stated Coach John Cohen.
Yet as spectacular as the drafted duo were, the rest of Mississippi State's order was pretty solid as well. And, at the expense of an outstanding starter in Brandon Waddell. The Bulldogs came out swinging, putting up a pair in their first look at the lefthander. Even after the Cavaliers went ahead in the bottom of that same inning, State kept up the contact to regain a lead. And expand.
"I believe the whole club hit well," Renfroe said. "I've always said it starts with the rhythm at the plate, and once you have that it's going to work well for us and for each individual." Well enough to set a program super regional record with the 20 safeties, which were only one fewer than the Dogs tallied way back on their opening day this year.
But this wasn't a February foe, it was a #6 national seed playing at home, and one of the nation's most efficient offenses. All the hitting and scoring allowed State to win despite giving up eleven hits and six runs…and need only two pitchers to take care of the affair. Starter Kendall Graveman was able to work around most of his early troubles and get over half-way through before handing Ross Mitchell the healthy lead.
And of course they had plenty of support. "I had a feeling early on we were going to score runs," said winner Graveman (7-5). "To continue to get outs and move the game along was what I was focusing on."
He did, despite absorbing three runs in the bottom of his first inning. Even though Cohen had proclaimed the bullpen was fully-ready to go at any point, the coach wanted to stay with his senior starter longer than perhaps early events signaled. It was the correct call. Graveman steadied and pitched like a senior, as well as a Friday draft choice himself. He worked through a nine-hit, six-run outing and occasional lack of defensive help, with two walks and three strikeouts.
Mitchell went the last 3.2 innings with no scoring charged to him, on two hits and three uncharacteristic walks. The long stint qualified the soph southpaw for a second save this season.
Waddell (6-3) took the loss on six runs and as many hits, with two walks and three strikeouts. Four relievers scuffled through the remaining frames.
As the host was home for game-one, Waddell was first to find a tight zone by ump David Savage. And, that if he put in any zone Frazier would hit it, which came on the day's second pitch. 3B Alex Detz walked on some close ball calls, but Renfroe was down two strikes before reaching out to contact the next offering and slicing a single up the center. Frazier scored unchallenged as the ball was bobbled in centerfield, advancing both Detz to third base and Renfroe to second on the error. This helped plate a second Dog run on 2B Brett Pirtle's bouncer to the right side.
It took just two pitches for the Cavaliers to start their bigger inning, on a big swing as Mike Papi took Graveman to the rightfield bleachers for a leadoff home run. Jared King doubled over Renfroe's reach, and Joe McCarthy walked.
The key to the inning was a high fly to leftfield which LF Demarcus Henderson—definitely bothered staring right into the sun—lost at the last instant. It fell for a bases-loading single. Reed Gragnani pounded a grounder that bounced almost as high as a fly and made Pirtle wait on it to come down. His only play by then was a force at second as King crossed to tie it up.
A clean single over shortstop pushed the home team ahead 3-2. Still, ""For me just to keep competing no matter what happens is what I'm going to do," said Graveman. "Of course I didn't have my best stuff, that was obvious to every one." Yet once down a run he found the right location with off-speed stuff for a couple of key strikeouts. He sat the second inning side and upon return had a lead again.
In State's third Renfroe and Pirtle both singled, and were bunted-over successfully by 1B Wes Rea. State stayed with the bumping game too as CF C.T. Bradford pushed it back to the mound. Waddell fielded it, then just lost the handle while figuring if he had time to come home. Renfroe was able to even the score as Bradford reached safely. Pirtle made third base where he was able to give State a 4-3 lead on Henderson's fly ball to center, only his second sacrifice fly of the season.
The fourth was remarkable for a pair of triples from, guess who? Frazier's was off Waddell, who was finished when he plunked Detz for two on and no outs. Righthander Josh Sborz inherited Dogs on corners and Renfroe at the plate. Two pitches later Renfroe was standing on third base after a deep-drive of his own, while Frazier and Detz had scored ahead of him. Pirtle plated Renfroe with a fly ball for a 7-3 lead, though Sborz did leave a couple unscored.
It seemed to matter as Virginia cut into the deficit. A one-out single by Nick Howard was errored for an extra base by Henderson as the ball took an odd skip at the last. Graveman wild-pitched the runner into position for a sacrifice-fly from Nate Irving, and a 7-4 margin.
"It's not how I wanted to start but to settle in and get in a rhythm get outs for a few innings was big," Graveman said. State got it back in their fifth anyway, as Ammirati reached on Sborz' two-base error. Trey Porter was pinched to swing-away in the matchup, but settled for a 1-2 count dribbler to the third baseman. Ammirati waited until the throw before taking third smartly. Frazier's fourth base hit scored him easily for the 8-4 lead, and brought lefthander Nathan Kirby from the UVa bullpen. He finished that frame by stranding two before David Rosenberger took over in the MSU sixth.
And, to allow two more runs after two were outs. Henderson and Ammirati singled, and Porters's grounder was misplayed for all safe. With sacks stuffed Frazier whipped a short liner that smacked into the first-base bag and caromed over the first baseman's reach, for a fluke double and 10-4 lead.
"A couple of them were pretty lucky," Frazier said. "But I got a couple of pitches to hit and found some holes." Those scores loomed larger as Virginia's best chance to rally followed. In fact, Graveman remained on the mound because his offense had inflated the margin enough for comfort. "We got a little greedy," Cohen admitted.
It wasn't all Graveman's doing though he was tagged for consecutive one-out singles. A fine double-play bouncer was booted by Pirtle to load everything up. Graveman stayed in to see the #9 batter, who cranked a scorcher that Pirtle knocked down. That saved one run though a RBI did score and bases were still loaded.
Mitchell, who'd thrown almost a stint's worth of warmup tosses, entered to face the top of Virginia's order. He began with four called balls to force in the sixth Cavalier run, but a strike-one call had King swinging. And grounding up the middle, where Frazier did very well to get it and even better to step on the sack and throw for the clutch double-play.
"With their lineup no lead is safe," Frazier said. "Ross wasn't locating like normally, and did a good job maneuvering around them. But with their lineup you don't feel comfortable at all."
A couple of walks to open the Virginia seventh were worrisome, until Mitchell got a fly ball for one out; then a grounder to third that Detz turned into two more. Mitchell would roll another twin-killing in the eighth as well. This was after State added a run in the top on Porter's bouncer past second base to score Henderson, who'd bunted his way onto base in the first place.
Pirtle more than offset his error with one remarkable and another just plain spectacular play in the ninth. It ended on a roller to first base covered by Mitchell.
"Obviously we're really proud of our players," Cohen said. "It was a little sloppier defensively than we would have liked. It was just a long, grind-it-out type of game. We competed well at the plate."
An understatement for sure. Frazier's six-hit showing and Renfroe's clutch contacts were highlights, yet Rea and Henderson also had three hits each. And making balls fall or finding holes mattered more than MSU-usual because Virginia only issued three walks and two plunkings. State had to work for all its scoring, either driving them in or forcing Cavalier miscues—four official errors were charged—to create more damage.
By contrast the Bulldogs turned four double-plays, matching the season high and extending their record to 76.
"That was as good an offensive approach that Mississippi State had today that we faced this year," Virginia Coach Brian O'Connor said. "They were pretty relentless at the plate. They did a heck of a job with two strikes, a good job executing, and took advantage of their opportunities."
Cohen was more succinct. "Our kids really stepped up today." As a result, the Bulldogs come to the park Sunday with a ticket there for punching. Or, for pulling away if they regard Omaha as a done deal, the coach warned. "We'll have to grind again for nine innings, and see what happens. There's no World Series, there's no ninth inning. There's a first pitch to be thrown and we'd better throw it at the bottom of the zone or it will get hit."
Who will throw that first pitch had not been named as of 7:00 local time. Lefthander Luis Pollorena (6-3, 4.32) is the usual choice but Cohen and Coach Butch Thompson wanted to review Virginia's offense, and its ability to adapt to either left or right lineups, before making a call.

Basement floor without concrete???
Does building code allow a basement floor without concrete? For multiple reasons, I need to remove the existing concrete. I would like to install rigid foam to insulate, but then ceiling height issues cause problems. Can I install rigid foam with a OSB top, sealed between the 3" rigid and concrete walls?
You can do anything you want, it's your house.
Not the best idea, though.
If you worry about resale or codes, it could be a bad decision.
Many codes require the basement slab to have 3 5/8" contact with the walls to assure resistance to the slab sliding on the footing.
If you do not care, you can just pour the slab to the ceiling height you want and accept the facto you will have a small curb.
If you pour a slab, put down a 10 mil poly vapor barrier to help control humidity coming from the soil.

Chinese Intensify Struggle At Gateway to Manchuria; Marines Are Not Involved
CHUNGKING, China, Nov. 10--Artillery and mortars thundered today along the coastal end of China's Great Wall, where then Chinese Communists' best divisions blocked the path of thousands of Nationalist troops into industrially rich Manchuria.

It didn't take long for certain conservative critics to denounce the document released yesterday by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace regarding the world financial crisis. This is the same crowd which, on other issues, points to similar Vatican documents and invests them with enormous authority. But not now.
Here is George Weigel in the National Review: "The document doesn't speak for the Pope, it doesn't speak for 'the Vatican,' and it doesn't speak for the Catholic Church."
The inimitable Father Zuhlsdorf has the decency to admit that the document has him ranting "like a loon."
And, at CatholicVote.org, Thomas Peters, aka the American Papist, does all he can to diminish the significance of this document, emphasizing that the Church admits it has no special expertise in economics, as indeed the authors of the document say.
What is curiously absent from all these interventions and analysis is any attempt to wrestle with the issues the document does raise. Okay, we can all stipulate that the Church has no specific charism in economics, but that she is, as Peters says, an "expert in humanity." Why do they not address the theology that is explicit in the document, which shows clearly why the Church has always rejected laissez-faire economics? Why? Because they can't.

Mumford & Sons Create Beer For Festival
Mumford & Sons are getting into the beer business. The band has announced that the Lewes Stopover Brew will be available at their Lewes, England stopover concert later in July.
A local Lewes brewer, Harveys, has created the small batch specifically for the two day festival. Ben Lovett says, "They have made ten lines of it...which amounts to ten nine gallon barrels, or 700 pints."
"That should be enough for backstage."
Harveys tells The Argus that the band toured the brewery while planning their Gentlemen of the Road stopovers. The beer is $7 ABV and is described as "a soft golden ale with the gentle bitterness of Fuggle and Golding hops, best served chilled."
The beer is also available in bottles from the brewer's website.

Ross County 1-1 Dundee
- From the section Football
Gary Glen's equaliser gave Ross County a point and means Dundee lie five points adrift at the foot of the Scottish Premier League.
Iain Davidson's first goal of the season boosted Dundee's chances of getting three points at Victoria Park.
Near the end of a drab first half, the midfielder thundered a 30-yard swerving strike past County's Mark Brown.
But substitute Glen lashed past Rab Douglas after Iain Vigurs and Richard Brittain had shots blocked.
This bottom-of-the-table clash would have provided rich pickings for any winner but in the end the teams had to be content with a share of the spoils.
County captain Brittain hit the post with what was literally the last kick of the game, leaving the Dingwall side, who are tenth, six points better off than the visitors.
The 37 minutes until the opening goal was largely devoid of action and entertainment apart from a deflected shot from Alex Cooper, son of County assistant manager Neale who challenged Dundee keeper Douglas as the best player on the park.
Then, completely out of the blue, the match sparked into life when the ball broke to Davidson who had all the space in the world to crash home a stunning shot.
The strike tantalisingly took a late swerve beyond Brown into the top right corner.
Nicky Riley missed a chance to extend Dundee's lead when his shot drifted past the post and Ross Tokely saw a header tipped over the bar by Douglas just before half time.
In the second half the ever-present Douglas dealt with dangerous crosses from Cooper and Vigurs before Tokely saw an effort go narrowly by.
The equaliser came after a period of intense County pressure when the ball seemed to ricochet about the Dundee box for an eternity before Glen crashed it into the net.
Dundee might have gone back into the lead had Colin Nish done more justice to his service from Ryan Conway.
Then the game reached a cliffhanging climax when Brittain's effort cannoned off the right post just as referee Alan Muir blew for full time.

Playwright brings play to Gainesville
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 9:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 9:01 p.m.
There is nothing laughable about corruption, cheating spouses and domestic abuse, but Barry McLeod's play, "In My Sprite," will have you laughing as he explores these very serious topics through comedy and music — which, some say, is the best remedy for a broken heart.
What: "In My Sprite," an original drama/comedy by playwright Barry McLeod.
When: 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Where: The Actors' Warehouse, 608 N. Main St.
Tickets: $15 at the door or in advance.
Information: Call 352-222-3699.
Directed by McLeod and featuring local artists, "In My Sprite" will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at The Actors' Warehouse at 608 N. Main St. Tickets are $15 at the door or in advance by calling 352-222-3699.
McLeod said "In My Sprite" explores topics of violence, corruption and physical, emotional and financial abuse through comedy and music.
"These are topics that people face every day," McLeod said.
After showings in Hastings/St. Augustine, Melbourne and Lawtey, "In My Sprite" is coming home to Gainesville.
"We're telling a very serious story, but telling it with comedy," McLeod said.
The story centers around Mike Taylor, an anti-hero played by McLeod, who marries women for money. He is a corrupt, cheating husband and the bane of his mother-in-law, Ma Bertha, played by L'Tanya Van Hamersveld.
The cast also includes Tradina Thomas, who plays Mike's wife, Diane Taylor, a woman deeply in love with an emotionally and physically abusive husband; Bernard Long as David Watkins, a nurse at a mental hospital; Felipe Echeverri as Benny Goodman, Mike's partner in crime, and Stephanie McCray-Evans, who plays Denise, Mike Taylor's mistress amd part of the plot to steal Diane's money.
But when Diane, Ma Bertha's daughter, becomes Mike Taylor's next would-be victim, Ma Bertha plots her revenge.
McLeod said the play flows like a motion picture because it weaves several stories and creates suspense.
McLeod said his play looks into how the lust for money changes people and can impact a family.
"This play may cause someone to reflect on their own life," McLeod said. "It may be an eye-opener."

Brainwave Lotus Blooms When You Relax, Helping Meditation Practice
The handcrafted brass flower uses a brain-sensing headset to help users relax.
The fact that meditating has some physical and mental benefits is nothing new and many people already incorporate meditation in their daily routine to help themselves relax and become more productive. These days, however, it can be a challenge to find time to slow down and meditate.
That's where The Lotus comes in handy – by acting as a visual reminder for users to take a moment to meditate. The Lotus also acts as a visual presentation of the user's mind during their meditation session.
The handcrafted meditation tracker uses a brainwave-sensing headset that connects to the accompanying app to detect when the user is calm and relaxed. Using biosensor technology, the brass flower reads the user's brainwaves and then opens up when it senses that the user is relaxed. It blooms and starts cycling through various colors as the user meditates. After some time, the Lotus gradually closes to signal that it's time for the user to start meditating again.
The Lotus can also be used with a meditation buddy. The user simply has to choose a color for their friend and they will be able to see updates of their friend's progress as well as their own. The user will see their friend's color glow from the Lotus and, in turn, their friend will also see the user's color on their Lotus device. That way, they can follow each other's progress and encourage each other when one falls behind on their habit.
The brass flower is handcrafted by artisans in India and integrated with cutting edge neurotechnology, biosensors, and 3D-printed components to create a device that combines art with neuroscience. The Lotus is also open source to allow artists and designers to create their own version. The detailed 3D models of the flower petals and other hardware component are available for download and can be re-shaped and printed as they see fit.
The Lotus was developed by the Mindfulness Inc. team, which includes neuroscientist and Brainbot founder Rohan Dixit, multi-award winning artist Shilo Shiv Suleman, and serial technologist and Puzzlebox founder Steve Castellotti.
The team has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the Lotus. For $99, backers can pre-order the Lotus 2015 edition alone, without a headset, or opt for the $199 package which includes the Lotus 2015 edition and a NeuroSky Mindwave Mobile EEG. Estimated shipping is September 2015. The team is also doing a limited production run of Lotus flowers that are completely 3D-printed and assembled by hand to be shipped by end of the year. The Kickstarter campaign ends on July 23.
