Against an even minimally skilled campaign, I might still be concerned -- but the campaign has McCain in IOWA!
Iowa has been likely off the boards since summer... yet, McCain was just in Iowa yesterday.
I think McCain has less a chance to hold Iowa than Obama has to flip Georgia.
The McCain firewall has been completely breached at this point... I do not see how he can afford to play offense anywhere. The smart move for McCain is to make desperate attempt to stem the bleeding and hope to only lose IA and NM.
The problem is, he needs to hold OH, FL, VA, NC, NV, CO, and IN. Obama just needs any one of those 7. We now have reliable polling showing Obama with marginal to substantial leads in 6 out of the 7. McCain cannot afford time or resources in PA or MI.

The Law of Unattended Children
Then, we visited IKEA this weekend. A main reason we chose IKEA? Smalland, their free drop-off childcare service. Your (toilet trained) kid can stay up to an hour in a wonderland of ballpits, toys, and Disney movies while you shop in peace; my son begs to go to IKEA.
This got me thinking: I'd drive miles out of my way to go to a library that offered a similar service. I'd pay for this service! (Logistical issues aside), how many parents would appreciate a quiet hour to study, use the Internet, or just browse the stacks?

I wasn't going to write about the mudflap flap (and at this point, it's pretty much flapped out), but, let's just be brief: I'm not particularly offended. When I first saw this image, I laughed. I think that reclaiming historically sexist images in a way that makes people take a step back and think can be positive. I think this is pretty clearly a parody and that it pretty clearly does its job in getting people's attention. And, I think I'm still a feminist.

In the sunny pause between a Sunday double-header in the spring of 1921, a military band led a solemn parade of ballplayers and soldiers across the wide lawn of the Polo Grounds to a spot as far from home as they could get without leaving the field. They stood in ranks around a flag-draped monument about the size of a batboy that had just been planted in the deepest part of center field, where long fly balls went to die. It was Memorial Day, and they had come to honor Eddie Grant, who had been, as sportswriter Fred Lieb put it, "called out by the great Umpire."
Men Grant had served with in France offered testimonials to his character and courage, as did New York Giants manager John McGraw and a representative of his alma mater. "He made his sacrifice hit, and it was such hits that won the game," said Thomas Slocum, vice president of the Harvard Club.
As Grant's sisters pulled aside the American flag covering the granite monument, the band struck up "My Country 'Tis of Thee." "Soldier, Scholar, Athlete," read the bronze plaque affixed to the monument. The great sportswriter Grantland Rice (himself a veteran of the late war) wrote a memorial poem for the occasion, saying in its first stanza: "Far from the Game and the cheering of old, / Across in the Argonne will tell you the story, / Where each one may read on its rain-battered mould / A final box score that is written in glory. / Afinal box score of a Player who gave / The flag that he fought for, his ghost—and his grave." Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis—the stern, whitemaned commissioner who would soon order the expulsion from baseball of the eight players involved in the Black Sox cheating scandal—lauded Grant as a man who gave "his all not for glory, not for fame, but just for his country," and predicted that his "memory will live as long as our game may last."
In the years that followed, whenever a ball was hit into deep center at the Polo Grounds, radio announcers would say it had gone "all the way back to the Eddie Grant monument," keeping his name alive. Landis later championed him for election to the Hall of Fame. "Regardless of baseball performance, I would like to see Eddie Grant's name on that list," the commissioner wrote.
Grant didn't make it into the Hall, though, and despite Landis' prediction, his memory gradually faded. So did that of his friend and comrade in arms Charles Whittlesey, who had committed suicide in November 1921, jumping overboard from a ship bound for Havana, after serving as an honorary pallbearer at the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And even before the global turmoil of the 1930s, the ideals that had sent Grant, Whittlesey and many of their high-minded comrades to France—the dream that their sacrifice would redeem civilization and that organizations like the League of Nations would assure lasting peace—were looking increasingly frayed. The war fought to end all wars turned out to be just the opening battle in history's deadliest century.
Grant is buried with 14,245 other Americans in the Meuse-Argonne cemetery in France, in one of the long, pristine rows of white headstones—an ocean away from his family home in Massachusetts, and from Irene's grave in Philadelphia. After the Giants played their last game in the Polo Grounds in 1957, fans tore apart the field, and the bronze plaque from the memorial that was meant to mark his name forever disappeared.
The plaque never resurfaced, as the Giants had promised, in their new San Francisco home.

When I first starting sharing blog posts, I wondered how I would feel when the day came that someone responded by attacking me personally. The wait is over, thanks to my recent post, Why I Can't Sell Girl Scout Cookies.
Before leaving for dinner on Saturday night, I checked my personal e-mail, observed I had a comment from the Forks-Palmer Patch and excitedly opened to read. I have to admit seeing it for the first time was a bit jarring. A woman attacked me for a misleading headline, called me a "homeopathic quack-job" who wants to "change the world" and then wished me luck on my "bran and sawdust fundraiser." (I'll have you know that I've never once considered mixing bran with sawdust. Every vegan knows that sawdust only goes with spelt!)
I X'd out of the e-mail and paused for a moment. I reflected back on what would have gone through my head reading my post five years ago. I probably would have thought the same things about me (though I would have chosen to express my point of view differently). When we're not in the "zone," every health enthusiast seems nutty (think Richard Simmons). This helped me put her comment immediately in perspective -- "It's a grain of sand in the Sahara," I thought.
I replied positively to her and even shared a recipe so she could get a glimpse into how a "homeopathic quack-job" enjoys a real dessert.
Nothing could have prepared me, though, for the comments I woke up to the next day -- one accusing me of being "politically-motivated," and another labeling me a "liberal" and suggesting I be muzzled. My "agenda," as it was called, had even been linked to gay rights.
In Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher wondered why absolutely everything in our country is politicized. I thought about that as I read the new comments.
Good health should be non-partisan. We should all want to achieve it. When our health is thriving, we are free from hospital stays, doctors' appointments and prescription medication. We have more money in the bank because we aren't paying for regular healthcare services. We have more time because we aren't tied up fighting with insurance companies over denied claims. We have more "oomph" in our step and can enjoy more activities with our friends, children, grandchildren and other family members. As my mom always says, "When you have great health, you have everything."
While I would love for everyone to be "in the know" as it relates to the mounting scientific and clinical research supporting a whole-food, plant-strong lifestyle, outside of my immediate family it's not my "agenda" to make sure my neighbor keeps his cholesterol under 150. If after my reading one of my posts, my neighbor is inspired to learn more about alternatives to the Standard American Diet and ultimately make more healthful dietary choices, that would be fantastic and I would support him in any way I could, if asked. But the choice is his. I'm certainly not looking to purge his house of Girl Scout cookies or anything else he may enjoy eating.
I try to remember that change can be hard and that many of us fear the unknown. As a result, we sometimes react defensively when we feel our lifestyle is being threatened or attacked. I want to make it clear that my intention has never been to assail anyone's choices. I welcome all points of view. I simply want to educate and motivate by sharing our experiences and lesson learned with those willing to listen and have meaningful conversation.
Before I close I want to add that while this post focuses on the negative comments I've received, by and large the responses have been positive, with many simply thanking me for the information I've shared or asking me for more help and guidance. I love the correspondence and what I'm learning from everyone who takes the time to write. Keep your comments coming!

Country Cookin' Cracker Barrel Style
In 1969, Dan Evins opened the first Cracker Barrel restaurant in Lebanon, Tenn.
Now, a little more than four decades later, there are more than 600 Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores (its official name) located in 42 states.
The newest Cracker Barrel opened this week in Boone at the former site of the Mountain House Restaurant on Blowing Rock Road, across the street from K-Mart.
The restaurant hired more than 150 local residents to work as cooks, servers, cashiers, hosts and other positions.
Cracker Barrel is famous for its wide variety of breakfast items and combinations, offered any time of day.
The popular Sunrise Sampler includes two eggs cooked to order with grits, sawmill gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, fried apples and hash-brown casserole, plus a sampling of smoked sausage, country ham and thick-sliced bacon.
The Wholesome Mornin' Sampler features a mix of low-fat vanilla yogurt, seasonal fruit topped with honey oat granola mix with almonds and dried fruit, two eggs, blueberry or apple bran muffin, and a choice of smoked sausage patties, turkey sausage patties or thick-sliced bacon.
The restaurant also offers a wide selection of pancake options, such as pecan pancakes, blueberry pancakes or buttermilk pancakes topped with apples, blackberries, peaches or cherries. The kitchen also makes French toast from its own freshly baked sourdough loaves.
For those looking to cut down on their carbohydrate intake during breakfast, Cracker Barrel offers low carb options, such as "Eggs 'n' Meat," a dish featuring three eggs, choice of bacon or sausage and sliced tomatoes.
There are also healthy choices on the "Tasty Alternatives" menu, such as Egg Beaters, turkey sausage, sugar free syrup, Promise (butter substitute) spread and low-fat fruit spread.
Lunch & Dinner
If you're one of those diners who feel that eggs, bacon and pancakes are best served during the hours that end in "a.m.," then you'll be pleased to learn about the large selection of lunch and dinner items at Cracker Barrel.
Daily lunch special begin at 11 a.m., cost $5.99, and are served while they last. They include baked chicken and dressing with choice of one vegetable (Monday), meatloaf and mashed potato with choice of vegetable (Tuesday), chicken pot pie (Wednesday), and turkey and dressing with choice of vegetable (Thursday).
Monday through Friday, the restaurant offers the country house salad with choice of baked potato or cup of soup for $5.99.
Country dinner plates are $7.59 and include your choice of meat and two vegetables, plus buttermilk biscuits or corn muffins. The meat choices include fried chicken livers, sugar cured ham, fried or grilled chicken tenderloin, grilled pork chop, half-pound hamburger steak, hickory smoked pork barbecue or country ham, lemon pepper grilled rainbow trout, homemade beef stew and deep-fried or spicy grilled catfish fillet.
Vegetable choices include whole kernel corn, fried apples, macaroni and cheese, apple sauce, pinto beans, dumplings, turnip greens, coleslaw, steak fries, green beans, mashed potatoes, breaded fried okra, sweet potato casserole, hash-brown casserole and sweet whole baby carrots. There are also "vegetable of the day" selections based on availability and season.
The Cracker Barrel menu is clear about the fact that some of its offerings, such as turnip greens, green beans, corn muffins, hash-brown casserole and pinto beans, are made "the old-fashioned way," using meat seasonings and are not strictly vegetarian.
The Cracker Barrel menu offers a large selection of low-carb items, such as grilled chicken tenderloin, grilled steak salad, grilled trout, chef salad and other meals.
If you are craving something tasty between two slices of bread, Cracker Barrel also features lunch and dinner items, such as the grilled Reuben platter, chicken BLT, half-pound bacon cheeseburger and open-faced roast beef sandwich. All are served with a side of coleslaw and your choice of either steak fries or a cup of soup.
Both the breakfast and dinner menus offer a wide selection of kids' menu items, such as chicken tenderloin plate, mac and cheese plate, cereal and milk, grilled cheese sandwich, fried shrimp plate and others.
To Go
All of the menu items at Cracker Barrel are available for takeout. They even feature the "Country-Sized Meal to Go," a complete meal for six people that includes your choice of chicken and dumplings, meatloaf or roast beef, served with three sides plus a baker's dozen (13) of buttermilk biscuits, corn muffins or sourdough rolls, all for $49.99.
Country Store
All Cracker Barrel restaurants feature the chain's famous country store. Love the fried apples you just ate as a side dish? Take a jar home with you.

"Eggplant without garlic? Yes, it can work - deliciously. This recipe seems to me to bring out the glorious flavor of eggplant and is wonderful for a change to other garlicky eggplant recipes. It is important not to pulverize the coriander. "

This review is based on how I made it, not the recipe as written. I used 1 tsp dried cilantro instead of coriander seed and upped the lemon juice to 2 Tbsp. I mixed all the seasonings into the oil prior to applying to slices. After baking, topped with diced fresh tomatoes that were mixed with a little basil and salt. Easy and yummy.
5 stars. So simple and very very tasty. Really easy and still good.
I did not have coriander seed so used a different herb mix, but even so this was quite good. There were leftovers, and it got better every time I ate it! The lemon seemed to blend with the spice over time to deliver a really tasty flavor.

If a Canucks win is inevitable…it's not all bad
by Tyler Dellow • June 12, 2011 • Post, Uncategorized • 31 Comments
2) How many times does Roberto have to redeem himself? I couldn't believe the racket about Schneider starting game five. Luongo was the only possible choice.
-Tom Benjamin
When the Canucks win the Stanley on Monday night, there will be a few things from which I will draw solace. It's tough to begrudge the Tom Benjamin group of Canucks fans, the 5,000 or so decent people who cheer for the team and were supporting it when the Canucks were terrible, their moment in the sun, even if it's tempting to let the other two or three million horrible Canucks fans overwhelm them in your assessment of their contemptible fanbase. While the team itself is full of players who you want to experience nothing but failure, I've long liked the way that Daniel and Henrik played the game, defending by possessing the puck. Watching Raffi Torres on the bench during G5, I was reminded of seeing him sitting on the bench after G7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006, head down along with many other Oilers, while MacT walked the bench, slapping guys on the back and congratulating them on a great season that fell a little short. I'll be happy for him on Monday.
I've also been a long time fan of Roberto Luongo and will be happy for him. I'll be even more happy for what, hopefully, will be a diminution of the "Luongo is mentally fragile" meme. While that may or many not be true, as I discuss below, it's hard to distinguish between his career to date and the playoff career of Martin Brodeur to the same age, other than Brodeur had a whole lot more in the way of opportunity.
I was talking to James Mirtle the other night and got to trying to think of a Canadian athlete who's been under more pressure to perform than Roberto Luongo has over the last sixteen months, between the Canucks' efforts in the playoffs and stepping into the crease for Team Canada in the Olympics. I'm not sure that I can think of any since the team that played in the 1972 Summit Series. A lot of Luongo's pressure comes from his reputation as being something less than a big game player, which has struck me as unfair in that Luongo, through no fault of his own, hasn't exactly had the opportunity to play in a lot of big games.
It isn't Roberto Luongo's fault that he didn't appear in the Stanley Cup playoffs until 2007, ten years after he was drafted. The NHL's cartel results in elite players being shunted onto terrible, inept teams that are improperly run. Elite players like Luongo are surrounded by players who aren't good enough to make the playoffs. The Sedins were understandably a bit upset with Mike Milbury after he took some jabs at the the other day; the guy with the real beef with Milbury is Luongo, who got drafted onto a hockey team that was a mess and then traded by Milbury to another complete disaster of a team.
In addition, we have an almost regal line of succession to the goaltending seat on the Canadian national team, with a healthy Canadian streak of patronage. The throne itself is controlled by whichever NHL team happens to be running the national team at the time. If that team has a player who can plausibly considered the best goaltender in the world and he has not suffered a loss that can be blamed on him, that goaltender will hold the throne until such time as control of the national team or a bad defeat happens.
It took an ugly loss in the 2010 Olympics and a management/coaching team that didn't have a goalie in the mix for Martin Brodeur to lose his spot to Luongo. Of course, if Luongo hadn't spent his career rotting in New York and Florida, at the mercy of guys who haven't put together records that attract the attention of Hockey Canada, he might have had his opportunity sooner – few would argue that Brodeur was a better goalie than Luongo in 2006.
As a result of all of this, Luongo's career has featured few really big games. Outside of the gold medal win, a lot of his great performances have either been in support of a vastly outpowered team (Canada v. Russia, 1997 WJC, the 2006-07 Canucks' playoff run) or cameo roles in a tournament in which he wasn't starting (his performance against the Czechs in the 2004 World Cup.) The mythmaking of hockey is such that once you've won a Stanley Cup, for whatever reason, your capacity to win the big game is no longer in question. Your play at a certain time might be questioned but not your ability to win. You're a winner. Is this sensible? I don't think so, but there's lots of things I don't understand.
Is there some basis to think that Luongo blows up more than he should in the playoffs? I don't really think so. I grabbed his playoff career to date as well as the career of Martin Brodeur to the same age. It's become a bit more acceptable to acknowledge Brodeur's playoff failures of late but the period in question here – his career up to 2003-04 – covers the period in which he built the legend. The first chart that I've put together is a breakdown of their playoff appearances by save percentage.
Your eye might be drawn to Luongo's greater frequency of games in the .825 or below range. 7 of his 57 playoff games have resulted in that outcome, compared to 12 of Brodeur's 143 in the period in question. It's just not a major difference though – two fewer .825 or worse games for Luongo and he'd be the same as Brodeur. A total of five more shots and saves in two games and he'd be there. Brodeur then owns the majority of the games between .825 and .900 – 17.5% of Luongo's playoff starts resulted in a save percentage in that range compared to 25.2% for Brodeur. 59.6% of Luongo's playoff appearances saw him post a save percentage between .900 and .975 compared to 51% for Brodeur. Finally, Brodeur enjoys a substantial edge in the .975 or better games – 15.4% of his appearances ended up there to 10.5% for Luongo.
A further point that bears some mention – the typical Roberto Luongo playoff game features a lot more shots than the typical Martin Brodeur playoff game during the period in question. Luongo has seen 30.2 shots per 60 minutes per playoff appearance. Brodeur, for the period in question, saw 23.5 shots per 60 minutes. That's a pretty massive difference and is going to affect, in particular, the number of shutouts that each player posts. If you have two goalies, one of whom sees 30 shots per appearance and the other who sees 24 shots per appearance, both of whom have a 92% chance of stopping a given shot, you'd expect the guy who seems 24 shots per appearance to post a shutout every seven games or so and the guy who sees 30 shots per appearance to post a shutout every 12 games or so. Same ability but the extra six shots per reduces the shutout frequency substantially. I've put together a chart of the expected frequency of x goals against, based on 30 shots and 24 shots against per game, and a .920 skill level at stopping pucks.
You'll note that the guy seeing 30 shots per game is far less likely to post a shutout and more likely to have a 7 or 8 goal disaster. Finally, I've sorted the playoff appearances of Luongo and Brodeur by save percentage and then looked at the nth percentile for each to see if the dispersion is all that different. It isn't. Generally speaking, Brodeur has the higher save percentages at each percentile but it's slight and his overall save percentage during the period in question was a bit higher than Luongo's – similar dispersion, just with Brodeur having a slightly higher average. There's not much to pick from there.
As I indicated above, I don't think Luongo's going to silence all of the media criticism when he skates around the ice with the Stanley Cup on Monday (or, possibly, Wednesday) but I sure hope this ends at least some of it. There's not a lot to pick from between his career and that of Brodeur in the playoffs (other than the Stanley Cups, which are a team award) and Luongo simply hasn't had Brodeur's at-bats. The meme about his struggles looks a lot like narrative bullshit – there will be a bit more truth in hockey writing if it disappears.

Bobcats build hole Kobe, Lakers can't escape
ESPN: Jason Richardson had 34 points and 10 rebounds, and the Charlotte Hornets stunned the Los Angeles Lakers 108-95 on Wednesday night in a game where Kobe Bryant drew two technical fouls in a span of 29 seconds late in the fourth quarter and was ejected.
The loss dropped the Lakers (49-23) into a three-way tie for second place in the Western Conference with Houston and San Antonio. They trail the New Orleans Hornets by one game.
Matt Carroll added 18 points and Gerald Wallace had 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Bobcats (26-56), who won for just the second time in eight games and snapped a six-game road losing streak.
Raymond Felton added 13 points and 10 assists and Emeka Okafor had 11 points and 11 rebounds for Charlotte, which outrebounded the Lakers 52-40.
Bryant had 27 points and six rebounds before leaving with 3:40 left and the Bobcats leading 99-86. Lamar Odom had 18 points and nine rebounds, Ronnie Turiaf scored 12 and Sasha Vujacic and Luke Walton added 11 each for the Lakers.
Lakers center Pau Gasol missed his seventh straight game with a sprained left ankle. He said before the game he aggravated the injury earlier this week, and hopes to return by next Wednesday.

TORONTO | Adam Oates started working on his 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame induction speech shortly after learning he was in. He delivered an emotional address Monday night.
To listen to Oates, click here. Enjoy the full transcript and check out video below:
"Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you Bill [Day], Jim Gregory, Pat Quinn and all the members of the selection committee that voted me this huge, huge honor.
As most people know last June was a very special day for me. I got a call from George McPhee telling me I was going to be head coach of the Washington Capitals. And 15 minutes later I got a call telling me I was going to be in the Hall of Fame. But you can imagine that was a very emotional day. Since that day, I've spent a lot of time doing what almost everybody I'm sure who's been inducted has done: You reflect on your career. I spent a lot of time thinking about the people I played with, my memories of the game and the people that helped me get there. And today is the day of all days that I think I should say thank you.
Growing up in Toronto, I moved north when I was 16 and I played hockey in Weston with a man named Mike Renzetti, who coached me, drove me and was like a big brother to me. My junior coach Ken Gibb, who when I said I wanted to get a scholarship did everything in his power to try and help me. My college coach, Mike Addesa, who recruited me, appealed my case, got my amateur status back and taught me so much about the game. And Paul Vincent, my skating coach who took me into his home for two years, no questions asked, to help me work on my game. To them I want to say thank you. I want to let you know that I haven't forgotten that you helped me.
I can't think of any better honor than being grouped with some of the people that you think are special in the game, that you try and raise your game to play against every single night, whether it's a Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Mario Lemeiux or going into Colorado and trying to beat the Avalanche and try and play as good as Joe Sakic. Or go into Toronto, my hometown, trying to beat the Leafs and try and play as good as Mats Sundin. Or in Vancouver, how are we going to win? How are we going to shut down the Russian Rocket? And, gentlemen, I'd like to say congratulations for the huge honor which I sincerely think you deserve.
In life you have relationships that don't always last, but you make a connection. Hockey is no different. Whether it's coaches like Brian Sutter, Tom McVie, Tim Army, Mike Babcock, or players: Mike O'Connell, Doug Halward, Rick Zombo, Gino Cavallini, Kelly Chase, Sergio Momesso, Rick Tocchet, Don Sweeney, Olie Kolzig, Calle Johansson, Peter Sykora, Paul Kariya. To them and many others I want to say, thank you. I think we connected. You meant so much to me in my career.
I also had the privilege of playing with some special players. I was in Detroit when a young Steve Yzerman was named captain. I watched him turn into the superstar he became. I got traded to St. Louis and played with Scott Stevens, who was a fantastic player and went on to become the rock of the New Jersey Devils.
And I got to play with Brett Hull. Hully, I know you know how I feel about you. Seventy -two, 86, 50 in 50, it was an incredible time. You put me on the map. It was so, so special. My feelings for you, I've expressed so many times, you're absolutely fantastic. I can't believe it was only three years 'cause it felt like forever.
I got traded to Boston and I got to play with Cam Neely and Ray Bourque. Cam, 50 goals in 42 games has to be one of the best seasons of all-time. I'm one of the few people that know what you had to do every night just to be able to play. It was an absolute privilege. I had the best seat. I wish it could've been longer. And Ray, six of the best years of my life, my man. My friend, my teammate, I got to watch you work every day, work with you. You challenged me, you made me better. You made me better as a player. You were so good. Thank you and thank you to those guys for all the memories I'm going to carry with me my whole life.
Lastly I'd like to thank my friends and family, my wife Donna. I love you very much. We met near the end of my career; I wish we could've met a little bit sooner. You could've seen me when I was a little bit better. I'm happy that you're hear today to experience this and see what we're all about here in hockey. And thank you for supporting me in the next challenge in my life, coaching.
My sisters Laurel and Michelle and all my friends. You all had to watch so many games and support me and deal with my moods the next day. The best way I can say thank you to you and honor you is to remind you that, I hope you know that every single one of those games, a part of me was playing for you.
Mom and Dad, I don't know how you took me to all those games. You supported me, you encouraged me, helped me through the tough times and gave me the chance to live my dream. I know it's not the easiest thing for our family, but I love you very much. Thank you. I'd never be here without you. Thank you."

Mets Game 107: Loss to Nationals
Nationals 3 Mets 0
After scoring 8 or more runs in four straight games, the Mets get blanked by a replacement pitcher who was manhandled by the Buffalo Bisons less than a week ago. Go figure … baseball is a funny game.
Mets Game Notes
Jason Marquis was supposed to start this ballgame, but was traded hours before game time and replaced by Yuniesky Maya — who the Mets put a hurtin' on twice last September. In fact, everyone Maya faced has put a hurtin' on him. So it was baffling to see Maya baffling the Mets hitters in this ballgame — he held them scoreless through 5 1/3 innings, allowing 5 hits and walking none.
R.A. Dickey did not have the good knuckler, but he still managed to pitch a decent ballgame, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks, striking out only one. All three runs scored on a Jayson Werth opposite-field homer with two out in the initial inning.
The Mets' leadoff hitter did not reach base until Jason Bay singled to start the seventh. The only other leadoff hitter to reach base was David Wright, who walked to begin the ninth.
Wright continued his hot hitting, going 2-for-3.
Josh Thole reached base four times — twice by singles and twice by HBP.
D.J. Carrasco allowed four hits in an inning and a third yet didn't allow a run. He employed voo-doo or mirrors, I imagine.
Wilson Ramos continued his destruction of Mets pitching, collecting three hits. He's hitting over .500 against the Mets this year, about .240 against everyone else. Go figure.
The Mets snap their five-game winning streak.
Next Mets Game
The rubber match begins at 1:35 PM. Jonathon Niese goes to the hill against Jordan Zimmerman.

Not dumping Isrignhausen indicates that the org is more concerned about dumping Omar guys, than it is about rebuilding. Really now, how many guys have to tutor Parnell? How stupid does Alderson think his fan base is? And guys will say, you won't get a number one for him. Right, a not number one like Murphy or Turner or Niese or Gee… Yes, keep Izzy to allow the Met announcers yelp about the great find of the GM…. Don't really build a winner for the future. And maybe when Parnell is 36 he won't need a tutor anymore.
Nice stories about RA in two local papers.

JWoww aka Jenni Farley recently got engaged to her longtime love Roger Matthews and now, she's getting started on the planning. The Jersey Shore star has a lot of promoting to do on the sixth and final season but she's still trying to make a few key decisions for her big day in the meantime.
"Hopefully, we'll get married next summer," Jenni tells In Touch Weekly. "I am tying that one down!"
Fans of her and Nicole Polizzi's spin-off, Snooki & JWoww, will be excited to hear that she plans on letting the cameras film her wedding for the show. However, Roger isn't completely on board—at least not yet.
Right now, all Jenni can do is try and convince him and get the rest of the details in place. "My favorite color is pink and his is black so I would love to do all white with just accents of '50s pink and black," she says. "But that's all I've got going!"
Luckily for Jenni, she's got a best friend who's also planning a wedding—Nicole! "We're totally going to go wedding dress shopping together and to food and cake tastings," Jenni says. "You have to experience those kinds of things with your best friend."
It would be amazing for fans of their to be able to see all of the planning going down on their spin-off. What better happy ending after years of partying at the Shore than with two giudo weddings?!

Suspension struts are one of the most crucial parts of your car's handling, ride, stability and safety. The good news is, they are usually a one-time investment over the service life of the car. The bad news is, they are a little more complicated and costly to replace than old-fashioned shock absorbers and you should definitely consult an auto mechanic. But if you're in doubt, these are a few problem signs to look for:
- Take the car on a rough road. Do you hear thumps, like the suspension is "bottoming out" and crashing against its stops?
- Take the car on a rough road with some curves. Does the car's handling feel "squirrelly" and uncontrolled, as if it could get away from you if you pushed it much faster? Does it feel like it wants to travel sideways around curves?
- Accelerate sharply. Does the car's rear end hunker down as you accelerate? Also, does the car nose dive as you hit the brakes hard?
- With the engine off and the car on level ground, put your knee on the front bumper and get it to bouncing up and down several times. When you take your knee off the bumper, how many times does it continue to bounce? If there are more than two bounces before it comes to a stop, that's a pretty sure sign it's time to replace the struts.
Some vehicles have shocks and struts both, some only have struts (your mechanic can tell you on your particular car). It's important to know that worn shocks and/or struts will also accelerate the wear of tires and suspension parts like your steering linkage, CV joints, springs, ball joints and tie rod ends. If you're in doubt, we can help diagnose a strut problem by looking for things like worn suspension stops and rubber bumpers, leaks on the strut housing or dents on the shock or strut body itself.
Brands like Monroe and KYB are usually the go-to brands for suspension parts. Like we said – this is usually a one-time investment, but it's not something you want to put off so if you think you might need new shocks or struts talk to an auto repair professional.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — To the editor:
The New Hampshire Legislature will vote in October on whether or not to accept $2.4 billion from the federal government to expand Medicaid coverage in the state as part of the Affordable Care Act. This would provide health care to low income people not currently covered by insurance, including current Medicaid. To be eligible individuals must earn less than 133 percent of the poverty level of income.
So far the Republican-controlled New Hampshire Senate has said no to this. That would be a self-inflicted wound to the state because: the federal government would pay 100 percent of the cost of the program for three years and no less than 90 percent thereafter; the New Hampshire Medical Society, the New Hampshire Hospital Association and the New Hampshire Nurse Practitioner Association have all endorsed the program and believe there is capacity in the treatment system to handle any increase in utilization; and the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute states that the expansion of Medicaid will create 5,100 new jobs in the state and increase gross state product by $2.8 billion.
So, it doesn't cost the state money, and provides significant fiscal benefit, all while helping low income people get health care. The state can withdraw from the program if it is unsuccessful. Why not do it? Maybe because it is part of our president's excellent health care insurance plan and some Republicans will do anything to stop that. Let's hope the New Hampshire Legislature will be more interested in helping the state's citizens than in trying to spite the president.
