As always, our Partners are finding clever ways to share the "Make Mine Chocolate!" message. From the west coast to the east coast, in Canada and across the Atlantic in the UK, groups and individuals are telling their neighbors that rabbits are not disposable pets! Here are just some of the creative things our Partners are doing:
On the airwaves! Alabama EARS was on the Chris and Dee Dee show on Star 99.1 FM in Huntsville, AL (the top-rated radio station in Huntsville). They were invited to be on the show after they delivered a press release with a huge basket of chocolate Easter bunnies! They also made a new friend in Lisa Mason of the New 106.9 The Eagle, Birmingham's Classic Hits Station, when she met them at the Cottontails Craft Show. She has been promoting MMC on her station's website.
Alabama EARS offers this advice to other groups: radio stations really seem to like being bribed with chocolate bunnies and MMC pins!!
In Wichita, KS, Bunny TNT (Training, Nurturing, and Therapy) will appear on a very popular morning radio show on B-98 FM in a live interview before Easter.
Columbus HRS president, Karalee Curry, will be making her annual appearance on the Louie Free Radio Show, which broadcasts from Youngstown, Ohio. Retailers hop to it! Rabbit Central is again including a flyer in with every order they send out! Cats & Rabbits & More is pasting our postcard to the outside of every shipping carton – that way even the UPS drivers will get the message that rabbits are not disposable pets!
MMC in print! MMC received extensive coverage in the current edition of Kind News, a publication of The National Association for Humane and Environmental Education (NAHEE), which serves as the youth education affiliate of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). And MMC's Terri Cook recently answered interview questions for The Times of Northwest Indiana for an upcoming article. Other publications covering the campaign include The Wichita Eagle newspaper (Wichita, KS), who interviewed Bunny TNT, and The Journal News of Westchester, NY published a Letter to the Editor, written using the MMC template.
E-zine coverage! MMC is receiving coverage throughout the online community. A short article appeared on the Deviant Art website in early January. Freelance writer Terra Walters will be publishing an article in the coming weeks, and the April issue of Catalyst magazine will feature an article by Sunny Branson covering the MMC campaign.
High School MMC Fundraiser! The ambitious students of the Richardson (TX) High School CARE (Concern for Animal Reform and Education) group are holding a fundraiser to increase awareness of what happens to Easter bunnies around Easter time. The money they raise will be donated to Make Mine Chocolate! to allow us to continue our important work.
Adopt a rabbit! One of the most clever ideas we've heard this year came from All Creatures Rescue & Sanctuary in North Carolina. They've created Plush Bunny Adoption Kits, with each stuffed bunny coming with a care guide, the HRS coloring book, an "adoption contract" with simple-to-understand bullet points of responsibilities towards real bunnies, and a pretend "pen" for the bunny to live in, which the child can decorate. Each toy bunny is named after a real rescued rabbit and comes with a printout of his/her picture and real-life story.
"Make Mine Chocolate!" has gained popularity in cyberspace, and not just by linking to traditional websites. With the increasing popularity of personal networking pages, the ability to share the MMC message has exploded. One way is through Meet Up groups, who organize to meet and distribute our flyers, postcards, and other materials, such as SAVE (Saving Animals Via Education). We're also connecting to individuals who believe in our message with our own networking pages. MMC can now be found on Facebook (at www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2245514436) and My Space (at www.myspace.com/makeminechocolate) . These pages have been created especially for encouraging visitors to link back to the main MMC site, to browse, explore the Interactive Bun, and learn that rabbits are not disposable pets. Linking to these sites (by becoming "friends") will encourage visitors to your own site to check us out.
I want to first thank you for your participation in the 2006 "Make Mine Chocolate!" campaign. Once again, with the strength of our partnerships, the campaign was another huge success! Last year saw the addition of Partners from around the globe, from Canada to Great Britain and Australia. Some of our retail Partners helped spread our message by including flyers in the orders they shipped. "Make Mine Chocolate!" ads and articles appeared in newspapers and magazines across the country, and our logo and link appeared on more than 75 websites. Individuals posted flyers throughout the US and around the world, as far away as Australia. More than 2,500 supporters proudly wear our original "Make Mine Chocolate!" ceramic pin. Over 725 others are sharing our message by wearing "Make Mine Chocolate!" T-shirts and sweatshirts, and nearly 700 "Make Mine Chocolate!" magnets adorn refrigerators and doors. Lastly, our raffle of the painting "Racing with the Moon" by Joseph Larkin raised a grand total of nearly $600 to help finance our ads and other campaign efforts.
Here's a preview of what we're planning for 2007:
Photographer Challenge: Our biggest challenge at Easter is dispelling the myth that rabbits and young children are a good mix. Portrait photographers often capitalize on this myth by offering kids' portraits taken with baby bunnies. This year, we're encouraging our Partners to work with local photographers to find humane alternatives to using live rabbits in their portraits. We'll post a letter template explaining the campaign and our concerns and offer suggestions for alternatives. We're also working on a poster that compassionate photographers can display explaining to customers why they are not using live animals in their photo sessions.
Cafepress: While the original pins, magnets and a few shirts are still available through our website, we've opened a "Make Mine Chocolate!" store at Cafepress, filled with MMC merchandise! We've added coffee mugs, buttons, bags, ceramics, and several styles of shirts. Use the link on our website to hop on over and check out all the great new ways to share our message!
Raffle: The hottest item of last year's campaign returns: the very talented Joseph Larkin has offered to provide another original painting to be raffled for $1 per ticket. A photo of this beautiful art work can be seen on our website.
The Interactive Bun: Our online learning center will feature a new game that allows the player to build a safe living area for a rabbit. With artwork by Joseph Larkin, this interactive space lets the player choose all the items that go into housing the well-appointed rabbit.
Partners Page: We've updated our Partners page with our 2006 Partners in a geographical listing. Please visit here to determine which Partnership option best suits you, and let us know which option you are fulfilling. In order for your logo and link to continue to appear on this page, you must maintain your status as a current Partner.
Web Design and Blog: We'll continue to enhance our website to make it easier for our Partners to share information, activities, and creative ideas on how you are participating in the "Make Mine Chocolate!" campaign.
Our goals for this year are ambitious, but the enthusiasm of our Partners inspires us to keep the campaign fresh and exciting. Thank you in advance for your continued support of "Make Mine Chocolate!"
Best Regards,
Terri Cook
As we in rabbit rescue are all too aware, this is the time of year that many photographers push cute Easter photos featuring young children posed with real rabbits. Often, the rabbits are not cared for properly, are terrified from being handled by children, and end up unwanted or neglected after the Easter rush is over. This also inspires children to beg for rabbits of their own and parents to give in to those demands. Unfortunately, for many small photography studios, Easter portraits can generate up to 50% of their yearly sales. Therefore, it will take considerable work to convince them that they won't lose business if they stop using real rabbits in their photos.
However, an MMC supporter with LARabbits is leading the charge in asking them to do just that. Instead of targeting individual studios or photographers, she has gone directly to the source and contacted Professional Photographers of America (PPA), a professional organization for photographers. And she's done it by appealing to their compassion and offering viable – and humane – alternatives to using real rabbits as props, such as brightly packaged chocolate bunnies, realistic-looking toy bunnies, brightly decorated Easter baskets, and flowers. She also suggests that they can attract media attention and additional business by supporting the "Make Mine Chocolate!" campaign.
PPA responded to her request by allowing her to post her letter on their members-only forum and on their newsblog. You can read her letter here. We hope that PPA members will consider her suggestions and contact us for information on how they can participate in compassionate photography.
We recently received a complaint that some of our materials are contributing to a neighborhood litter problem. In order to avoid future complaints, when you pass out flyers, postcards, and other items, please make sure that you follow all local laws and ordinances. In the US (and other countries), it is illegal to place any non-postal item in a mailbox. There may be other laws regarding the distribution of printed material, soliciting, littering, harassment, etc. Please know which laws apply in your area and conduct yourself accordingly.
It may seem overly cautious, but our message won't be heard if we don't respect the property and rights of the people we're trying to educate.
The 2006 "Make Mine Chocolate!" campaign has gotten off to a great start! To begin with, we'd like to welcome some exciting new partners to our program: the Oxbow Hay Company and Rabbit Central - both pet supply companies with large customer bases. Having these partners will increase our exposure across the country. We had responses from Oxbow's link within the first few hours of their posting it, and Rabbit Central has been kind enough to include one of our flyers with every order they ship. Another partner, Leith Petwerks, is including an MMC magnet with orders over a certain dollar amount. We are extremely grateful for their support.
Another exciting development is that we've created "The Interactive Bun" (formerly the Learning Center) to showcase our interactive educational games. Visit our new look here. Watch for our website to be evolving as we add new features and graphics to make it more user-friendly. All of our new features can be found at What's New.
We have added a new ad and flyer - both black/white and color - to our Marketing materials. Created with the assistance of a professional copywriter, these can be used to catch attention in publications and in public display areas. We've streamlined our business cards to fit pre-cut Avery business cards. And we've added labels (formatted for Avery labels) suitable for affixing to your mailing envelopes. Of course, our original flyers, cards, and other materials are still available as well. Check all this out here.
As is typical for this time of year, we are aware that some professional photographers are still offering Easter pictures featuring real rabbits. Please use the "Make Mine Chocolate!" pins, shirts, flyers, ads, and other materials to raise awareness that this practice needs to end. Many studios offer professional photos with charming toy rabbits that are just as cute and much safer for both buns and children. Encourage patronage of these studios where possible.
Finally, I'd like to share a conversation overheard by one of our volunteers at our local shelter. A couple of women were talking about the rabbits. One said to the other, "So-and-so [undoubtedly, a child] would love a bunny." The other woman agreed. And then one of them said, "But you know they say you ought to buy chocolate for Easter." This is confirmation that we are being heard, and by keeping our message out there, we can make a difference. Thank you again for your support of the "Make Mine Chocolate!" campaign. Please contact me if we can be of any assistance in your local campaign.
Best Regards, Terri Cook

Every drop of fuel counts
In uncertain times, fuel efficiency comes even more into focus for operators and hauliers. Here Scania experts share their tips on how to save money with fuel efficiency.
Drivers and fuel today account for more than half of the costs for a typical operator. So fuel efficiency has a large impact on an operator's business and capacity to earn money.
This is obvious to Erik Dahlberg, who works within Scania's Research and Development. "Scania has a long tradition of putting every conceivable effort into optimising the vehicles' fuel economy. It permeates all our development projects, from nuts and bolts to cab design."
But now, Dahlberg says, there is also an increased interest from operators. Today they spend a lot of time discussing the most fuel-efficient vehicle specifications with their sales representative. "They are often down to adjusting the last decimal," he says.
Here are some realistic steps toward optimising fuel performance that are available to most operators. But, says Dahlberg, "there is no magic formula, so it's the constant engaging in details that counts."
Keep the vehicle in shape
Continuous monitoring of vehicle and driver performance makes it possible to take action with minimum delay.
Regular maintenance takes on a crucial role to make sure everything stays in optimum shape; faults can be detected before they have a chance to cause much harm.
Get the gearing right for the application. At 40 tonnes with today's high-torque engines, going for economy gearing, i.e. cruising below 1200 r/min instead of 1350 r/min, will save up to 3 percent of fuel without any severe effects on driveability.
Keeping down the unladen weight will automatically save fuel. Specifying low-weight options could reduce weight by 500 kilograms and save up to 1.5 percent in hilly terrain.
Checking axle alignment pays off. Adjusting a 1 degree misalignment may save up to 3 percent of fuel.
Tyre pressures
One bar too little in the tyres may cost up to 2 percent of fuel. Keeping up the tyre pressure at all times will secure consistent rolling resistance, minimum tyre wear and maximum road safety. An easy way is to specify tyre pressure monitoring (TPM), a system that allows pressures to be read from the cab and that alerts the driver if the pressure drops in any of the tyres. In addition, around 5 percent of fuel can be saved by specifying tyres with low rolling resistance.
Electronic support
Automated gearchanging makes driving easier and helps drivers perform consistently, while reducing wear and tear on the vehicle. Scania Opticruise has been found to save up to 10 percent of fuel for an untrained driver.
Scania Ecocruise, the smart cruising software, can save 4–5 percent on top of that by using techniques well known to any driver trained in eco-driving – and with negligible time loss in a working day. Not accelerating when climbing a hill until the crest levels out and using momentum at the bottom of slopes are two of the secrets.
Scania has also developed acceleration control, a system that promotes smooth driving and boosts passenger comfort in city buses. It also reduces wear and tear on brakes and powertrains and typically saves up to 6 percent of fuel. Though developed for city buses, it will also save fuel for some urban distribution applications.
Air drag
Fitting air deflectors is the first obvious step in improving air drag on a tractor unit. This alone saves some 10 percent. But further refinements are possible:
Adjusting the roof air deflector from 10 cm too high or low will save up to 3 percent of fuel.
Fitting Scania's rubber extensions on the side air deflectors and sideskirts will save up to 1.5 percent.
Avoiding auxiliary lights, air horns and other embellishments on the roof will save up to 1.5 percent.
And then all sorts of improvements are possible on the semitrailer, of course. A difference of 5 percent in fuel consumption between semitrailers is not uncommon.
Driver training
Fuel savings of 10 percent on average are possible as a result of professional driver training.
Active monitoring of driver performance and regular training are needed to maintain this level.
Lower speed
A simple measure like lowering the normal highway cruising speed by 4 km/h will save around 5 percent of fuel.
Within each area – driver, vehicle, service, there is a saving potential of up to 10 percent. The figures cannot be added up, however, they give an indication of the effect of individual actions.
Counting conservatively, for a typical 40-tonne European combination running 200,000 km annually, a fuel saving of 10 percent can be translated into 6,000 litres (approx EUR 6,000).

The "I Will Act On Climate" bus will be in Des Moines today as part of a 27-state tour to highlight local support for climate change standards and call on residents to act, organizers said Friday.
The tour's goal is to rally support for the climate change plan President Barack Obama announced last month that calls for new controls on power plants that emit carbon dioxide - a heat-trapping gas blamed for global warming.
The bus tour "is supported by a diverse set of local, state-based, and national public business, health, and environmental organizations," according to an event Facebook page ...

Would someone please explain to me what is wrong with everyone having healthcare? It has long been recognized that having sick, untreated and perhaps infectious people moving through society is both morally unconscionable and not beneficial to that society. Thus, taxpayers pay for the uninsured's medical treatment, but at a much higher cost for emergency rooms than would be charged in a doctor's office. Further, a healthy workforce is more productive and uses fewer benefits than a sick one. It would appear to be a win-win situation.

Cold Spring resident Jeff Von Handorf and his daughter Aly stand beside a bicycle May 24 before he set out on a cross-country ride June 8 from Oregon to Virginia. Von Handorf is seeking donations during his ride to help fund the National MPS (Mucopolysaccharidoses) Society. Aly was born with a debilitating disease called San Filippo Syndrome, which is one of several MPS diseases.
Cold Spring resident Jeff Von Handorf has dedicated his summer cycle ride across the U.S. to helping fund research for a disease his daughter, Aly, and the family have been dealing with for 24 years.
Von Handorf said he set out on bicycle June 8, from Astoria, Ore., on a cross-country trip. The scheduled end date for the trip in Yorktown, Va., is Aug. 3. Von Handorf said his two brothers and a sister-in-law are joining him on the cycling trip, and helped come up with the idea to pedal their way across the country.
Donations are being collected online during the summer cycle ride for the National MPS ...

Scientists launch project to analyse storms
A group of scientists has launched a project to fully analyse the effect of the recent devastating winter storms on coastlines and communities. Britain has had the wettest winter since national records began in 1910, with "energetic" storms that saw gusts of up to 108mph.
Lasting for 12 months, the 50,000 study has been launched to examine the direct impact of the weather in south west England. It is hoped the project, carried out by scientists from Plymouth University, will help develop adaptation strategies to protect from future storms.
Professor Gerd Masselink, principal investigator at the university's Rapid Coastal Response Unit said: "The coastal impact of this sequence of extreme Atlantic storms has been very significant.
"At several locations, prominent coastal landforms - such as bridges, stacks and arches - have disappeared, suggesting that at least some of the coastal changes will be permanent. However, many changes will turn out to be, in fact, reversible - such is the nature of a dynamic coastline."
Loss of trees in storms 'could have been worse'
The storms that hit the UK this winter caused the greatest loss of trees since 1987 but the damage could have been worse, the National Trust said.
Over 50 National Trust sites have been surveyed with, with many gardeners, rangers and foresters saying that the losses have been the greatest in two decades although other sites had little damage.
Extreme weather is likely to become more frequent as the climate changes and there is a need to plan what trees to grow and where to make woodlands more resilient to the changes, National Trust nature and wildlife specialist Matthew Oates said.
The trust said nowhere had been as devastated as it was in 1987 or 1990 but some sites had lost hundreds of trees including valued ancient specimens.
Many trees were uprooted and blown over rather than snapped off, due to the saturated ground conditions.
Storm damage 'worst since Great Storm of 1987'
The storms that the UK endured this winter caused the greatest loss of trees since the "Great Storm" of 1987, the National Trust has said.
Old oak, ash and beech trees have been lost in woods, while specimen trees in parks and gardens have also been damaged as at least a dozen storms swept through the UK from December to February.
Given the extent of the wild weather, which hit the western half of England, Wales and Northern Ireland particularly badly, losses could have been worse, National Trust nature and wildlife specialist Matthew Oates said.
Clear skies mean a cold night
Ongoing flood risk for southern England
Communities in Dorset, South Wiltshire, Somerset and the Thames Valley have been urged to remain vigilant for continued flooding from groundwater and rivers.
The Environment Agency said flooding will continue along the River Thames over the coming days, with a potential flooding around the Chertsey Lakes.
It said groundwater levels remain very high in many places, including West Dorset, Cranborne Chase and Salisbury Plain.
River levels also remain high in parts of Hampshire, West Berkshire, Surrey, West Sussex, Wiltshire and along the River Severn in Worcester and Gloucestershire.
Environment Agency flood risk manager, Katharine Evans, said: "Teams continue to work to work around the clock, maintaining flood defences, clearing watercourses and deploying pumps and temporary defences to protect communities at risk.
River Thames continues to respond to recent rainfall
Communities along the River Thames in Surrey should remain prepared for further flooding, the head of flood incident management for the Environment Agency has warned, as more rain is expected to fall over the next few days.
Craig Woolhouse said: "The River Thames is continuing to respond to the recent rainfall.
"River levels will remain high for the next few days and we urge people keep up to date with the latest flood warnings and take action.
"With so much standing water around, we would also remind people to stay out of flood water and not attempt to walk or drive through it."
Residents along Thames to prepare for more flooding
The Environment Agency has said residents living along the lower reaches of the River Thames in Surrey should remain prepared for further flooding as water levels continue to rise.
The Thames is expected to stop rising today, but it may be some days before the levels are back to normal, it said.
There is also an ongoing risk of flooding from the Rivers Parret in Somerset and the Severn in the Midlands. High groundwater levels mean we are likely to see continued flooding in areas such as the Somerset levels and moors, Dorset and Wiltshire.
Rain to add to saturated lands and high river levels
Parts of Britain is set to be battered by flooding misery, as a band of rain is expected to arrive from the West this afternoon, the Met Office has said.
Helen Roberts, a forecaster from the agency added:
It'll be over south west England from midday and spread slowly eastwards across the rest of the country.
Monday night will see scattered showers in the West and into Tuesday morning but it will then be turning wet and windy on Wednesday and will be remaining unsettled.
There is a lot of saturated land and high river levels so any amount of rain is not good for those areas.
Rain to bring more misery to already flood-hit areas
Further heavy rain today is expected to bring more misery to areas that have already seen widespread flooding.
Nearly 80 flood warnings remain in place throughout the country while there are more than 115 flood alerts, although none deemed severe - which would carry a danger to life.
River levels have been rising steadily in counties including Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset, Somerset and across the Midlands following days of downpours, the Environment Agency (EA) said.
Rivers including the Hampshire Avon through Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset, the Stour in Dorset, the Parrett in Somerset and the Severn through the Midlands showed little signs of receding.

I hate not running.
Turns out I've got extensor tendonitis. The top of my right foot hurts. I attempted 14 miles last Saturday and that turned into just 9 + 3 miles of limping back to the car. Since there's really no way to fix tendonitis, I decided to rest it this week since it was a recovery week anyway. It seems to have worked as the pain is much, much lessor now, but I fear that it will come back should I jump back up to my 30 miles a week that I had just attained. See, due to the shin splints last fall I had been training with inserts that provided a great deal of support to my arches. Guess what aches, now. Yup, the top of my foot and the side of my arch.
This week I've been making sure to regularly try and strengthen my arch via toe crunches and flexing my arch, while taking ibuprofen, and occasionally using a heating pad. Now it only hurts when I extend my foot upwards in an extreme fashion. Up and out (away from the center) hurts the most. It still aches, though, an entire week later... the problem is, it hurt well before that 9 miler and I have no idea why. I think it really is simply the foot going from nearly full support to bam, none. I even weened myself off of the insert as I switched shoes slowly over a 2+ month span. I really don't get it.
I'm going to return to running starting tomorrow. I won't be going every day, though, like I had for a good while... 55 day streak, I had. Instead, I know that I was able to handle a 25 mile week, so I guess I'll start back up there and just try and keep that up for a while, see if the foot can handle it. Completely derails my MCM training plan. Rather than going into it strong, at best I'll be in survival mode, now. Stupid structural injuries.
This has to be the most frustrating thing about running for me. My limitation is not my strength. My limitation is not my lungs, physical stamina or mental toughness. My limitation is my bones and tendons... stuff that I have next to no control over. So, so, so frustrating.
Not running has pushed my emotional state into a bit of a tailspin. Since it's summer and I only work during the school year I've had an awful lot of time to myself. Not having found my niche here in Virginia yet means that I've not been able to share my time off with friends or family, all of them living over 1200 miles away in the midwest, or being y'all here on the Loop (thank God for you guys!). Not being able to run now, though, has just made things worse this last week. Having trouble sleeping again, always feeling down, not feeling motivated... to do anything, really.
I don't like it.
I don't like it one bit.
This is just a bit of a bump in the road. You've built a solid base, and you were progressing quickly in the miles. So far you have treated this right, the week of rest will go a long way. Step back, re-assess, and try a bit of quality over quantity for a while. Focus on your key workouts, and take a couple of rest days, or cross training days.
It's not time for survival mode yet
I feel your pain! I too am suffering with pain on top of my right foot, also a right knee issue. I was off 6 days as I sat with my brother as he died of cancer July 1st. then decided to take 24 more days off to rest the foot and knee. Ran a 5K today and the pain is back, no better than it was 30 days ago. Guess it is time to hit the pool. I hope you feel better soon! Hang in there and Long May You Run!
Tough break. You are doing so well with your training. Hope you can rebound quick from this.
Right there with you. I want to run more miles and kill a marathon, but my damn feet keep me from doing what the rest of my body is ready for. But, at least you can run, so make the most of it.
I am sorry this has happened to you. I can certainly share our pain - I've been dealing with Heel bursitis and peroneal tendonitis the past month and it is only now abating. Before that, I've had hamstring issues and a quadriceps strain that nearly sank my 1/2 marathon in May.
It is totally frustrating, but I've found that my patience and perseverance have paid off over time. It's hard to watch the weeks go by without hitting mileage or pace targets, but looking back it was all necessary to be able to run at all. Be strong, stay committed to getting back, and you will be there again. The tendons will get stronger and recover with time. As someone who is gradually edging into higher age groups it is totally frustrating to not be able to hit what your mind says should be reasonable. However, I've found the body does respond - if only much slower than those youthful days of yore. Best wishes for a speedy and strong recovery.
Hope your foot feels better. It's a fine line between pushing oneself and getting injured. Good luck!
I soooo understand your sentiment here, and I hope things clear up so you can train properly.
Been here so very often. Injuries often come from a biomechanical imbalance or the wrong shoe. Have you had your gait analyzed?
Attitude is everything

    Sunshine is a rare commodity these days. Although, it appeared earlier today like the sun may break through the clouds, that hasn't happened. In fact, when I went outside during my lunch hour it was darker than it was when I came to work, and it was spitting a few drops of rain as well.
    It's hard not to get dejected by the gloomy weather because it just seems to go on and on. Meanwhile, it's been so cold that it's taking forever for the trees to leaf and the flowering trees to bloom. Even the grass isn't growing as fast as it usually does this time of year. Our horses have been looking longingly over the pasture fence  for the last few weeks and have done a good bit of chewing on the boards. I think they're trying to eat their way through the fence into the pasture.
   On the bright side, the forecast promises better weather beginining tomorrow. The outlook is for sunny days with seasonable temperatures for the next week. I'll take that even if it means we'll probably have to start mowing twice a week. I wouldn't mind feeling the warm sun on my back when I'm pushing the lawnmower around the yard.

"Dear god, not another song!"
Take out the songs or make it possible to easily skip them. There's just too many. I'm addressing the whole Lord of the Rings, not just Fellowship.
Come on, this is a classic that generations have grown to love. Picking out even ten scenes would be hard. ok, ok, Frodo encountering the Nazgul on Weathertop .
effing horrible singer
I don't think anyone will every be able to make this into a movie ;) - It would be really interesting if someone would really do this someday. Take the actual book, realizing that it is mostly made of quiet moments and inner turmoil, rather than 20 minute battle scenes. I think it would lend itself to a mini-series format more than the movie and would take several seasons. Would like to see it done at a rate of one chapter per episode. Take your time with it, get to know the world of middle-earth.
"Thank You Audible!"
I first read the LOTR Trilogy as a young teen, while I was home with a bad cold. My mother was in the middle of The Fellowship and wouldn't give it up (and who could blame her?), so I started with The Two Towers. Talk about confusion!! I highly recommend listening to them in order. The Trilogy is one of the top books on my Desert Island Reading List.
Many years later, I got this version of the audiobook on CD and played it to death. I loved the books and the movies, but hearing the stories really enhances the experience. I always felt these books were written to be read aloud. I have waited YEARS for Audible to add both the unabridged Trilogy and the Hobbit. Thank you Audible.
"Background noises and talking? Really?"
In several spots you can hear background noises: talking mostly. Like someone is in the next room talking on the phone. Very distracting and pulled me completely out of the story.
I wouldn't go looking for books that he's narrated.
I'm disappointed in Audible for allowing a 2nd rate recording of such a venerable title as LOTR.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Great Story, Good Narration"
The Lord of the Rings is a true classic and if you have not experienced it (or only experienced the movies) this recording should be a wonderful experience. This recording includes the prefix and appendices (both at the end of the recording), which might be dry for some, but is great for LOTR geeks. Having an unabridged Lord of the Rings on Audible has been long awaited and is terrific. If I had not been exposed to the NPR/Minds-Eye production of this series I would have been pretty happy with the narration. The Minds-Eye production was abridged but was a really excellent performance. Rob Ingles' narration is very good, and he does particularly well presenting the difficult epic poetry sections, but I did not much like his singing and overall a simple narration can't compete with the Minds-Eye performances. Nevertheless I was very happy to have this excellent unabridged version. I started out a little unhappy with the narration, but as time went on I just became quite immersed in the story.
"Pretty good read"
I'm going to review the reading as opposed to the writing.
I thought the reader did a good job, except for the singing. I appreciated that he sang the songs that Tolkien wrote, but I'm curious where the melodies came from. I wasn't a big fan of them. To be honest, the songs in the hobbit cartoon and the lord of the rings movies was infinitely better. When this reader sang, it just made my eyes roll.
Also, the reader had a hard time creating a different "voice" for each character. The characters seemed very similar. That could also be the fault of Tolkien.
People say I resemble my dog (and vice-versa). He can hear sounds I can't hear, but I'm the one who listens to audiobooks.
"One Ring to Rule Them All..."
The last time I "read" The Fellowship of the Ring, I read it out loud to my daughter at bed time. Took several months, reading a handful of pages each night. That was about a dozen years ago. Prior to that, I read the entire trilogy about a dozen times, but that was back in my youth in the 60s and 70s, when I re-read it every summer (yeah, yeah, go ahead and mock me, I'd do the same). So no surprise that I jumped at listening to the audiobook when I got the chance.
So who are you and what can I tell you about Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy? Chances are, you already know all about The Lord of the Rings, in which case there's not much I can add other than critique the narration (see below). If you've never heard of LOTR, you've either been living under a rock for the past half century, or you're too young to read, in which case, all I can say is, READ IT (as soon as you can get out from under your rock, or when you're old enough to read big boy books).
Perhaps you've seen the movie trilogy and are wondering whether it's worth your time to read (listen to) the books, no small consideration given the total length of The Hobbit and LOTR tops 65 hours. I would strongly recommend that you at least read The Fellowship. I always loved it the best because it takes place at more of a, uh, I can't say human level because they're mostly not human, but you get more of a feel for individual characters and specific settings, the remaining books operating on a more epic scale.
And a lot of that character development and scene/mood setting occurs in passages (entire chapters, actually) left out of the movie. The film version of The Hobbit, an as yet unfinished trilogy, contains far more material than the book (including some sections originally in The Fellowship). The movie versions of The Two Towers and The Return of the King may be structured in a different manner than the books, but the events are pretty much all there.
By contrast, there are substantial portions of The Fellowship completely omitted by the movie, including four consecutive chapters in Book 1 along with most of a fifth -- when the hobbits approach Buckland with the Black Riders in pursuit, meet Old Man Willow and Tom Bombadil in the Old Forest, and encounter the barrow-wight on the Barrow Downs. To keep the movie length manageable, it was determined that these adventures did not further the story of the ring. I don't disagree with the decision, despite my disappointment especially with the loss of the magical Tom Bombadil and his companion Goldberry.
Here then is your main reason to read The Fellowship if you've only seen the movie. There are also major scenes omitted from the fellowship's journey through Moria, Lothlorien, and down the Anduin from Book 2, as well as major passages of lore from The Council of Elrond and other similar discussions. And then there are the many Tolkien songs sung a capella by narrator Rob Inglis to tunes he and his producer wrote. Personally, I found the songs tedious and the recording (done a quarter century ago) crude by today's audiobook standards, so I took a star off Inglis's otherwise legendary recitation.
For Tolkien fans looking for a new way to enjoy his best work, or for others willing or desiring to see what the fuss is all about, this audiobook is a perfect way to follow the adventures of Frodo and his hobbit friends as they make their way across the Shire, through the Old Forest to Bree, on to the magical valley of Rivendell, into the mines of Moria and the enchanated woodland of Lothlorien, and down the Great River toward Gondor and Mordor, along the way meeting Tolkien's version of wizards, elves, dwarves, trolls, wraiths, wights, orcs, balrogs, wargs, and all sorts of men, strange, heroic, devious, and jolly.
"Its Ok"
The story line was good
No the singing killed it for me.
Just wasn't a book for me.
"I have been waiting for these!"
It's hard to believe that anyone can improve upon Tolkien, but the narrator, Rob Inglis, does it. The characters, the setting, the story, are all richer and more enjoyable because of his excellent narration. If you have not already immersed yourself in the worlds of Middle Earth with Tolkien and Inglis, do it today. You're in for an adventure.
"A classic"
Not better, but the closest thing to reading it that I have found.
I think in many ways, you cannot compare Tolkien to other fantasy series, because so much of what has been written later is based, however loosely, upon his ideas, which have become fantasy 'standards. Listening to this book is almost more like hearing a work of history- Tolkien seems as concerned with the history and reality of his world as with the story.
I have not listened to him before, but his rich voice give this performance a gravitas that works very well with the material. You are at once both hearing a story and feel as though you are listening to something of great importance. His character voices are good and his descriptive reading is a pleasure to listen to.
No, I have been listening to it in stages while driving, which has been perfect for me.
This brings back to me the importance of these books, both as literature and to me personally. It is a pleasure to hear someone else read a book that I am so familiar with. Not only because it is so well read, but also because of the little differences in how things are read, and to hear remembered phrases or sentences that come back to me. Overall, no Tolkien fans should deny themselves the pleasure of listening to this edition.
"The story than which there is no greater"
This is by far the most exciting, most literate, most frightening, most elevating, most imaginative, most humane story ever written.If you have only seen the film, well, too bad. All that remains to be said is that Rob Inglis' narration is masterful.If you have only one credit, use it here.

New Cube Spotted in Astor Place
At 3:45 p.m. on Monday, four graduate students from New York University carried building materials$97.56 worth of PVC pipe, plastic twist ties, cement, metal, and screwsto Astor Place, and erected a cube to replace the old one carted away last week without notice for restoration.
The artistsMohit SantRam, Emily Conrad, Jeffrey Galusha, and Jeff Grayare in the school's Interactive Telecommunications masters program. They usually work in digital abstractions and silicon, but for their version of Alamo, as the Tony Rosenthal-created cube is formally known, they went for the basics. "It's stripped down to the elements. The negative space exemplifies what's missing," said SantRam.
People in the neighborhood were surprised last Tuesday to find the cube, which stood in the traffic island since 1967, had been removed. The city Parks Department later explained that the spinnable art needed emergency repair and would be returned in a few weeks.
At some point afterward, a barricade appeared bearing a small white laminated sign: "REMEMBER THE ALAMO! Tony Rosenthal's black painted-steel sculpture, Alamo (1967), popularly known as 'The Cube,' has been temporarily removed for structural repairs. If you would like to help sponsor the perpetual care of this beloved public artwork, please contact Parks' office of Art & Antiquities at (212) 360-3410."
The students planned to keep watch over their five-foot cubethree feet smaller than the originalbut it was almost as if the sign were guarding it, too, however inadvertently.
"The sign is a double-edged sword," SantRam said. "Since it's posted on a barricade, a lot of passersby think that our piece is an official statement from the Parks Department, and thus the barricade exists for its protection. But, actually, the sign seems to say that the city is taking away public art and at the same time sort of asking the public to foot the bill for its return. Until we came, their sign simply stood in the absence of Alamo.
"The city is responsible for this piece of public art, and so they should also be responsible for not only its upkeep, but for informing the public, in a timely manner, of what's going on," he added. "The community noticed the cube's absence, and only then did the Parks Department come out and say what was going on. People's reactions are a testament to how important the art is to the public, so the fact that they put up a DeskJet printout almost a week later is absurd."
As of 6 p.m. Monday, the students' cube was still standing. Some teenagers had tried to spin it, but the plastic ties ensure that this statement will be stationary. "It's sad that the only time we bring up the lack of public art is when what we have is taken away. So the void that the cube's absence provided is important," said Galusha.

A Few Good Men

Critic Reviews

- Most active
- Publication

That the performances are uniformly outstanding is a tribute to Rob Reiner, who directs with masterly assurance, fusing suspense and character to create a movie that literally vibrates with energy.
Like all courtroom dramas, A Few Good Men is gimmicky and synthetic. It's also an irresistible throwback to the sort of sharp-edged entertainment Hollywood once provided with regularity.
A big commercial entertainment of unusually satisfying order. [11 Dec 1992]
Expert story construction and compelling thesping and direction make all the narrative elements pay off as if calculated by a precision instrument in which all the parts are working perfectly.
An entertainment to be seen and appreciated in momentum. As such, it is constantly gripping
This is a timeless thriller, a reminder of how stars who have been so average elsewhere can produce excellent some career-best work when given a decent script and a confident director.
If anything, A Few Good Men errs by throwing almost too many elements, themes and moral debates into the mix thus, by default, they sometimes seem shallowly developed and overly simple. Then again, that perhaps allows them to connect with more universal experiences.
Pace and performances dominate, with popped salutes going to Keifer Sutherland, Kevin Pollack, Kevin Bacon and especially Nicholson's smiling barracuda. [11 Dec 1992]
Works because it's able to draw so many side issues into its central conflict, spreading its concerns culture-wide. [11 Dec 1992]
Men is a little too neat structurally, its moral and human issues a little too clear-cut: at heart it is old-fashioned melodrama. But Sorkin's dialogue is spit-shined, and the energy and conviction with which it is staged and played is more than a compensation; it's transformative. And hugely entertaining. [14 Dec 1992]
About as understated as a 21-gun salute... What's missing is anything of Reiner himself.
The film doesn't make us work, doesn't allow us to figure out things for ourselves, is afraid we'll miss things if they're not spelled out.
The final scene, when Kaffee locks horns with Jessep, more than makes up for the predictability of what's come before.
The film's plot...is more contrived than creditable, motivations are not always clear, and some characters, for instance Kiefer Sutherland as a praise the lord and pass the ammunition Marine, are not very convincingly acted. [11 Dec 1992]
Though not terribly interesting as political philosophy, A Few Good Men makes for a passably entertaining movie. [31 Dec 1992, p.A5(E)]
Slick, overly deliberate and brimming with hammy performances...directed by Rob Reiner with glistening, uninspired competence. [11 Dec 1992]
An engaging and sometimes gripping movie, if ultimately a superficial one. Reiner has mastered the surface skills of moviemaking, although the inner depths continue to elude him. [11 Dec 1992]
Everything falls into place, click click click. Like many a formulaic piece, this one engages a real theme--here it's the conflict between the concept of duty and the idea of the individual--and does little with it. [25 Jan 1993]
I'm usually a sucker for courtroom dramas, but Rob Reiner's highly mechanical filming by numbers of Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of his own cliched and fatuous Broadway play kept putting me to sleep.
The performers are powerless to bring life to this moribund courtroom drama...a snoozer.
The moral discussions operate like a bad pair of elevator shoes: it's obvious that their function is to lift black-and-white melodrama into message-movie paradise. The whole film, with its steady, important-picture pacing and its bits of pseudo-profundity, is a piece of glorified banality. [14 Dec 1992, p.123]

Generational diversity, often overlooked by nurse leaders, can present itself in differences in attitudes, beliefs, values, work habits, and management expectations, which all vary depending on the era in which the individual was born, historical experiences they've had, and advancements in the world they've experienced. Here's how to manage a multigenerational workforce successfully.

Kermit the frog joined Seth Meyers for his popular "really" segment on 'Saturday Night Live.' For the evening, it became, "Really!?! With Seth & Kermit."
The muppet and comedian eviscerated congress for their declaration that pizza is considered a vegetable. Why is pizza a vegetable? Because it has tomato paste on it.
Meyers serves up most of the jabs starting with saying, "Really Congress? Now cafeteria pizza qualifies as a vegetable. Cafeteria pizza barely qualifies as pizza. It has the same nutritional value as the tray it's served on." But Kermit also comes in with some good ol' abuse towards the failed nutrition standards. He says, "Maybe we should just change the national anthem to the hot pockets jingle. I mean really?!"
If you'll remember from earlier today, Jamie Oliver also heaped on the criticism, although he can't get away with making "fat jokes" about kids suffering from childhood obesity the way that Meyers can.
The skit is a good laugh, and will both enrage you, and make you happy that you're not alone in being completely flabbergasted by how badly the government has failed children.

Edward O. Wilson
One of the World's Most Distinguished Biologists
Edward O. Wilson? Email us Give Us a Call
Edward O. Wilson is widely considered the father of the modern environmental movement. Wilson's latest book, Letters to a Young Scientist, offers advice and perspective from a lifetime of scientific work. It has been released to much fanfare, including this review from Bill Streever of The New York Times Book Review: "I want to express my gratitude. Thank you for reminding me and thousands of others why we became scientists." Named one of America's 25 Most Influential People by TIME magazine, and a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, he has made a giant contribution to our understanding of the rich spectrum of Earth's biodiversity. In his lectures, he makes a persuasive, eloquent plea to government, corporate, and religious leaders to address environmental destruction before it's too late. He is currently hard at work on his 31st book: Half Earth: The Struggle to Save the Rest of Life, which is set for publication in 2016.
One of Wilson's recent projects, The Encyclopedia of Life website, catalogs all key information about life on Earth—including data about every living species—and makes it accessible to everyone. Launched with money from his 2007 TED Prize, the EOL recently received an additional ten million dollars from The MacArthur Foundation. Wilson is also the recipient of the U.S. National Medal of Science, the Crafoord Prize (a sister to the Nobel), and the Audubon Medal. He is the University Research Professor Emeritus at Harvard University, and continues to research at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Recently, Wilson teamed with Harrison Ford to create a new PEN Literary award titled the PEN/E.O. Wilson Award for Literary Science Writing.
From So Simple a Beginning: Darwin & the Future of Biology
In this lecture, E.O. Wilson guides you through Darwin's four masterworks, including The Origin of Species, weaving together the thrilling story of Darwin's groundbreaking discoveries, and placing his evolutionary concepts in the context of scientific and historical thought, from the nineteenth century to the present day.
Wilson also examines contemporary biological thought—how the state of evolution is faring in an era of religious resistance—and looks forward to the future of biology, a period that his own work, from his Pulitzer Prize-winning books to his Encyclopedia of Life website, has made immeasurably richer.
The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth
Edward O. Wilson brings elements from each of his books into his talks; think of his body of work as a continuous investigation into the wondrous nature of science, humanity, and our planet. In this hopeful speech, based on The Creation, he argues that science and religion must join forces: the earth's destruction threatens us all—no matter what we believe about its origins.
Letters to a Young Scientist
Pulitzer Prize–winning biologist Edward O. Wilson imparts the wisdom of his storied career to the next generation.
Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, Edward O. Wilson has distilled sixty years of teaching into a book for students, young and old. Reflecting on his coming-of-age in the South as a Boy Scout and a lover of ants and butterflies, Wilson threads these twenty-one letters, each richly illustrated, with autobiographical anecdotes that illuminate his career—both his successes and his failures—and his motivations for becoming a biologist. At a time in human history when our survival is more than ever linked to our understanding of science, Wilson insists that success in the sciences does not depend on mathematical skill, but rather a passion for finding a problem and solving it. From the collapse of stars to the exploration of rain forests and the oceans' depths, Wilson instills a love of the innate creativity of science and a respect for the human being's modest place in the planet's ecosystem in his readers.
The Meaning of Human Existence
How did humanity originate and why does a species like ours exist on this planet? Do we have a special place, even a destiny in the universe? Where are we going, and perhaps, the most difficult question of all, "Why?"
In The Meaning of Human Existence, his most philosophical work to date, Pulitzer Prize–winning biologist Edward O. Wilson grapples with these and other existential questions, examining what makes human beings supremely different from all other species. Searching for meaning in what Nietzsche once called "the rainbow colors" around the outer edges of knowledge and imagination, Wilson takes his readers on a journey, in the process bridging science and philosophy to create a twenty-first-century treatise on human existence—from our earliest inception to a provocative look at what the future of mankind portends.
The Social Conquest of Earth
Where did we come from? What are we? Where are we going? In a generational work of clarity and passion, one of our greatest living scientists directly addresses these three fundamental questions of religion, philosophy, and science while"overturning the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family first" (Discover magazine). Refashioning the story of human evolution in a work that is certain to generate headlines, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to show that group selection, not kin selection, is the primary driving force of human evolution. He proves that history makes no sense without prehistory, and prehistory makes no sense without biology. Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, Wilson presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth's biosphere.
Anthill: A Novel
"What the hell do you want?" snarled Frogman at Raff Cody, as the boy stepped innocently onto the reputed murderer's property. Fifteen years old, Raff, along with his older cousin, Junior, had only wanted to catch a glimpse of Frogman's 1000-pound alligator.
Thus, begins the saga of Anthill, which follows the thrilling adventures of a modern-day Huck Finn, whose improbable love of the "strange, beautiful, and elegant" world of ants ends up transforming his own life and the citizens of Nokobee County. Battling both snakes bites and cynical relatives who just don't understand his consuming fascination with the outdoors, Raff explores the pristine beauty of the Nokobee wildland. And in doing so, he witnesses the remarkable creation and destruction of four separate ant colonies ("The Anthill Chronicles"), whose histories are epics that unfold on picnic grounds, becoming a young naturalist in the process.
An extraordinary undergraduate at Florida State University, Raff, despite his scientific promise, opts for Harvard Law School, believing that the environmental fight must be waged in the courtroom as well as the lab. Returning home a legal gladiator, Raff grows increasingly alarmed by rapacious condo developers who are eager to pave and subdivide the wildlands surrounding the Chicobee River. But one last battle awaits him in his epic struggle. In a shattering ending that no reader will forget, Raff suddenly encounters the angry and corrupt ghosts of an old South he thought had all but disappeared, and learns that "war is a genetic imperative" not only for ants but for men as well.
Part thriller, part parable, Anthill will not only transfix readers with its stunning twists and startling revelations, but will provide readers with new insights into the meaning of survival in our rapidly changing world.
The Future of Life
One of the world's most important scientists, Edward O. Wilson is also an abundantly talented writer who has twice won the Pulitzer Prize. In this, his most personal and timely book to date, he assesses the precarious state of our environment, examining the mass extinctions occurring in our time and the natural treasures we are about to lose forever. Yet, rather than eschewing doomsday prophesies, he spells out a specific plan to save our world while there is still time. His vision is a hopeful one, as economically sound as it is environmentally necessary. Eloquent, practical and wise, this book should be read and studied by anyone concerned with the fate of the natural world.
On Human Nature
No one who cares about the human future can afford to ignore Edward O. Wilson's book. On Human Nature begins a new phase in the most important intellectual controversy of this generation: Is human behavior controlled by the species' biological heritage? Does this heritage limit human destiny?
With characteristic pungency and simplicity of style, the author of Sociobiology challenges old prejudices and current misconceptions about the nature-nurture debate. He shows how...evolution has left its traces on the most distinctively human activities, how patterns of generosity, self-sacrifice, and worship, as well as sexuality and aggression, reveal their deep roots in the life histories of primate bands that hunted big game in the last Ice Age. His goal is nothing less than the completion of the Darwinian revolution by bringing biological thought into the center of the social sciences and the humanities.
Wilson presents a philosophy that cuts across the usual categories of conservative, liberal, or radical thought. In systematically applying the modern theory of natural selection to human society, he arrives at conclusions far removed from the social Darwinist legacy of the last century. Sociobiological theory, he shows, is compatible with a broadly humane and egalitarian outlook. Human diversity is to be treasured, not merely tolerated, he argues. Discrimination against ethnic groups, homosexuals, and women is based on a complete misunderstanding of biological fact.
But biological facts can never take the place of ethical choices. Once we understand our human nature, we must choose how "human" in the fullest, biological sense, we wish to remain. We cannot make this choice with the aid of external guides or absolute ethical principles because our very concept of right and wrong is wholly rooted in our own biological past. This paradox is fundamental to the evolution of consciousness in any species; there is no formula for escaping it. To understand its essence is to grasp the full predicament of the human condition.

Chickpeas {Pantry Basics Series}
This week in our Pantry Basics Series we are talking about my favorite bean (or legume if you want to get technical.) Is it weird that I have a favorite bean? So far in this series we have talked about beans, oats, lentils, and peanut butter.
Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, are good sources of zinc, folate, and protein. 1 cup contains 269 calories with 45 g of carbs and over 12 g of protein and only 4.5g of fat. Garbanzo beans contribute over 70% of the recommended daily allowance of folate which is an important nutrient for pregnant women but may also play an important role in cancer prevention and heart health. Chickpeas also contribute 84% of the magnesium you need in a day. Magnesium is important in brain and nerve function. Chickpeas also provide 26-28% of the iron your body needs in a day. Research published in the April 2010 issue of the medical journal "Appetite" indicates that study participants who consumed garbanzo beans over a 12 week period ate less food, particularly cereals. Participants said their bowel function improved as well.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Jose Fernandez was dealing, as he struck out a
career-high 13 batters to help the Miami Marlins edge the Pittsburgh Pirates,
3-2, in the rubber match of a three-game series. Fernandez (7-5) threw a 97-
pitch gem, allowing just two runs on five hits without a walk over eight
stellar innings. The 13 strikeouts set a new Marlins rookie record. Giancarlo
Stanton continued his recent offensive surge, going 2-for-3 with a solo homer
that put Miami ahead in the sixth. Ed Lucas and Donovan Solano each added an
RBI for the Marlins, winners in three of their last four contests. Gerrit Cole
(6-3) had an impressive outing himself but just caught fellow rookie Fernandez
on the wrong day. He yielded three runs on four hits and two walks while
fanning eight in seven frames. Russell Martin and Clint Barmes each drove in a
run for the Pirates, who ended their 10-game road trip with a .500 record.
Final Score: Detroit 12, Philadelphia 4
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Jhonny Peralta crushed a grand slam to cap an
eight-run sixth inning that propelled the Detroit Tigers to a 12-4 win and a
three-game interleague sweep of the spiraling Philadelphia Phillies at
Comerica Park. The AL Central-leading Tigers plated 12 unanswered runs without
slugger Miguel Cabrera, who was ejected along with manager Jim Leyland in the
third inning. Peralta's home run was just one of two hits in an absolute ugly
frame for Philadelphia during which the club committed three errors. After
opening this nine-game road trip with a win against the New York Mets, the
Phillies dropped eight in a row to fall a season-worst seven games under .500
Final Score: Washington 14, New York 1
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Wilson Ramos had a grand slam and five RBI
and the Washington Nationals recorded 18 hits en route to a 14-1 rout against
the New York Mets in the finale of a four-game series at Nationals Park.
Denard Span had a two-run home run and three RBI while Bryce Harper and Ian
Desmond drove in two runs apiece for the Nationals, who took three straight
games from the Nats after being shut out in the series opener. Taylor Jordan
(1-3) gave up one run on five hits while fanning seven and walking one over
six innings to pick up his first major league win. Marlon Byrd drove in the
lone run for the Mets. Starter Carlos Torres (1-2) lasted just three innings,
surrendering eight runs on nine hits and a walk.
