    As a concrete researcher, I must say that one of my very very pet peeves is when the term concrete and cement are used intermittently. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!! #boxing

    @JRae: Cement is a binding agent. Concrete is a mixture of water, cement, fine aggregate (sand), and coarse aggregate (gravel), with admixture. Cement is an ingredient of concrete. Like eggs are to cake. #boxing

    @Vulcan Has No Moon: Thank you :-)

    In short, cement is the powder that you add to your water and aggregates to create a hardened product that is concrete.

    So let's hope that you are driving on a concrete pavement and not a cement one, because if that would be the case - you'd be driving on a nice grey powder. #boxing

    Dear Mary Ellen,

    If you want to keep 15 cats and live in a town, keep them indoors and off your neighbor's property. As long as you scoop the litterboxes daily all should be fine and no one will ever know how many cats you really have in there.

    And yes, I speak from experience. No further details will be disclosed.

    So in the interest of making abortion harder to access ([jezebel.com]), some people are holding up legislation that could prevent the actual deaths of actual infants? Because what, if it's not a choice, it's okay? GUESS WHAT? THIS IS A CHOICE. THIS IS A CHOICE YOU ARE MAKING TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR LOW-INCOME WOMEN TO HAVE PRENATAL CARE.

    I would like to go home now. #boxing

    It always cracks me up how Ireland does well at boxing in the olympics. We can't play most sports, we can't manage our economy, but we sure as hell can drink and fight. Well done us.

    Oh, and we can play a hell of a rugby match too... though I probably shouldn't tempt fate a week and a half before the first autumn international.

    @onthecornerofparkerandwoolf: Hurling and its female equivalent, camogie, are insane. They essentially just involve running around a pitch beating the shit out of people with sticks. But we probably oughtn't take too much national pride in being good at a game that we invented and only we play (on the other hand we don't call the All-Ireland final a 'World Series', tee hee).

    Her father said "you could write 10 pages" about what he had to do to get her into the Irish Amateur Boxing Association.

    I'm from Texas and we're prone to exaggeration down here and I had to chuckle at this bit because I know I would have said "You could write a freaking novel..." I love that her dad was so precise in his measurement of how many pages could be written. #boxing

    Would you like to save the babies? Then please redirect all funds spent on harassing women/spreading misinformation/threatening abortion providers to prenatal care.

    So Katie Taylor** can fight with the men. She can sit in the same room of the pub as the men. But, oh Ireland, won't you give her her reproductive freedom too?

    PETA's hypocrisy in consistently inserting themselves into the media discussions of the Vick case is mind-boggling. They've supported Breed Specific Legislation (i.e. a ban on - and euthanasia policy for - all pit bulls) for years: [www.badrap.org]
    And directly after the Vick bust, they publicly advocated having all of the surviving dogs put down without any health screenings, temperament testing, nothing. Thankfully, organizations like BAD RAP and Best Friends Animal Society stepped in and the majority of the dogs have been adopted and are living out their lives as loving, happy members of families - the way they were meant to be. You can see how some of them are doing here: [vickdogsblog.blogspot.com]

    @andBegorrah: Are you me? I spend an embarrassing amount at the Best Friends website. I have dreams of moving to their ranch in Utah and just quitting society to take care of abused animals.

    What they do is simply amazing. Two of the dogs are in foster homes, which is the first step toward getting adopted.

    Shame on BET for continuing the charade that is Michael Vick and his new image. I honestly could care less about his childhood, nor his idea of redemption. Sadly, BET and Viacom would prefer to benefit from the torture of animals.

    @ArtfulSlinger: The Humane Society has voiced their approval, so hopefully it will focus more on how and why he came to abuse animals and his efforts to understand the nature of his crime so as to de-glamorize it for young fans, rather than on him as a martyr. (Though I'm not getting my hopes up.)
    At least whatever profits he makes from the show go in part toward the dogs' care.
