But today, that all changed.
Today I saw the dvd of Things at the store. I saw the cover. I saw the man holding the drill, the man with the horrible mustache. It spoke to me. I knew, I had to buy it. I don't know why.
But then I watched it.
and then I knew.
Never in my life have I seen a film that changed me. Changed how I saw the world. Changed how I saw everything.
This is Things.
A man tells a naked woman wearing a devil mask he wants her to have his child. I think that's what he said. But does it matter?
This is Things
A man takes his friend to visit his brothers house in the woods. They have beer. People die.
This is Things.
A killer ant creature pops out of a stomach.
This is Things
and this is where I will stop describing it. Please, don't read any other reviews. I didn't. I feel I have said too much already.
You think you know what a movie is? You think you know what acting is? You think you know Plot?
No, you don't.At all.
This is Things.
If this DVD were 100 dollars, I would buy it. I consider this my most prized DVD. And I have the suitcase edition of Blade Runner.
I haven't even seen any of the Special Features yet. I think the film itself is the best Special Feature, anyways.
I plan to show this to everyone I know. My girlfriend, My mother, all of my friends. I will tell random people in the street to buy this DVD.
The back of the DVD says this is either the work of a Genius, or a madman.
I think both.Read more ›
The Movie:
Directed by Andrew Jordan and made for roughly $40,000.00 in 1989, the 8mm cinematic oddity that is Things, the first Canadian straight to video horror film, begins with a mind boggling scene in which a man named Doug (Doug Bunston) heads into his basement where he sees a woman in a devil mask. He tells her he wants her to have his baby, she undresses but keeps the mask on, and then tells him that she already has. At this point she hands him a bassinette with a clawed infant inside, and it's looking for a moment like we might be heading into Rosemary's Baby territory - but we're not. It's all a horrible dream, he realizes this as he wakes up on the couch, after which he heads into the kitchen and searches the cupboards before heading into the bedroom to check on his wife, Susan (Patricia Sadler), who is ill. He gives her some painkillers and they work almost immediately
Cue the opening credits, video generated titles over top of footage of trains for some reason, possibly to give us the illusion that we're driving in a car. Shortly after the credits, we see a car arrive at a remote house in the woods - two men hop out, Don (Barry J. Gillis, who also wrote and produced) and Fred (Bruce Roach) - who have shown up to hang out with Doug, who we soon learn is Don's brother. They let themselves in but Doug is nowhere to be seen so they amuse themselves by drinking all of his beer, rummaging through his stuff, putting Don's coat in the freezer and listening to a tape that they find lying around. They assume that since Doug isn't here that he must be `wasted out of his mind' and they look through a book called The Horror Of One Thousand Ugly Cuts. None of this is making much sense, right? Right.Read more ›
I thought I knew what I was getting into with the tape recorder in the fridge and the ant monsters. Unleash the gates and let some weird, demon spawn out. Ok, I'm in.
But then everything starts to fall apart. Into pieces I can't really put back together again. But they don't need to because it all, somehow, in some way, makes strange, jaded, jagged, undefinable sense. It doesn't matter what is happening because this movie is unrelenting in its insanity. Not intensity or in-your-face-ness, just its strangeness and wierdness that doesn't stop.
It has to be seen to be believed. And I am now a believer in Things.

Six years after Congress passed a law requiring that key U.S. seaports create hubs for sharing information with local partners, none of those Interagency Operations Centers are in full operation yet, according to a new report.
Under the SAFE Port Act of 2006, the Homeland Security Department and Coast Guard were to have established the operations centers at high-priority ports by October 2009 for the purpose of improving situational awareness, security and coordination. That deadline was not met, states the Government Accountability Office report of Feb. 13.
The Coast Guard said the delays occurred because it didn't get funds appropriated to establish the centers until 14 months after enactment of the law. Also, the definition of the centers was evolving at that time, according to the agency.
To date, the operations centers have begun operating in ports in 11 of the Coast Guard's 35 geographic sectors. The centers use the agency's WatchKeeper application to share information with local partners on port vessel activity, vessel identification and contents, weather and other conditions.
However, while the Coast Guard has set up the structures for information sharing, the actual sharing activity has been slow to get going. Most of the local partners did not access the WatchKeeper application during a recent period, the GAO said.
"The Coast Guard has granted WatchKeeper access to port partners at 11 of the 12 sectors where it has been installed, but more than 80 percent of those port partners did not log on from July through September 2011," Stephen Caldwell, director of homeland security and justice issues for the GAO, wrote in the report.
With such low rates of participation, none of the existing interagency centers are considered to be in full operation yet.
"According to the Coast Guard's analysis of sector status reports, none of its sectors have achieved IOCs with full operating capability," the GAO said.
The report from the congressional watchdog outlines a number of shortcomings with DHS' and the Coast Guard's implementation of the port security law and its interagency operation center requirements.
For one, the Coast Guard's WatchKeeper system apparently is not meeting the needs of its local partners. GAO auditors said they asked several port partners why they were not using WatchKeeper. The most frequently cited reason was that WatchKeeper "does not help them perform their missions," the GAO said.
Furthermore, while the Coast Guard consulted with Customs and Border Protection to develop WatchKeeper, it did not get input from all local partners, GAO said.
"Without developing, documenting, and implementing a process on how it will incorporate port partners' feedback into future WatchKeeper requirements, the Coast Guard does not have reasonable assurance that WatchKeeper will satisfy the needs of port partners and facilitate IOC goals," the report said.
Finally, the Coast Guard also did not define WatchKeeper requirements, cost, and schedule in accordance with established guidance, the GAO said. As a result, the project has moved forward without a clear definition of what its function is supposed to be, without a reliable cost estimate, and without a reliable schedule, the watchdog agency said.
The Coast Guard acknowledged those problems, saying they developed because of an "aggressive" development schedule, limited resources, and competing priorities.
As of October 2011, the Coast Guard stopped collecting data on whether the local partners are using WatchKeeper, a decision for which the GAO urged reversal.
"Without such data, it will be difficult for the Coast Guard to determine whether WatchKeeper is facilitating the Interagency Operations Center program in meeting its goals of improving information sharing and coordination of joint operations," the GAO concluded.
The GAO recommended that the Coast Guard start collecting the WatchKeeper data again; set up a process for collecting input from the local partners; and restructure the requirements, cost estimates and schedule.
DHS officials agreed with the recommendations, subject to budget limitations.

Changeover in diet from animal oils/natural foods to vege oils/processed foods-matches rise in Heart Disease/Cancers
Modern-day diets high in hydrogenated vegetable oils instead of traditional animal fats are implicated in causing a significant increase in heart disease and cancer.
link to www.chelationtherapyonline.com
"Scientists of the period(1950's) were grappling with a new threat to public health: a steep rise in heart disease. While turn-of-the-century mortality statistics are unreliable, they consistently indicate that heart disease caused no more than 10 per cent of all deaths - considerably less than infectious diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. By 1950, coronary heart disease (CHD) was the leading source of mortality in the United States, causing more than 30 per cent of all deaths.
The greatest increase came under the rubric of myocardial infarction (MI) - a massive blood clot leading to obstruction of a coronary artery and consequent death to the heart muscle. MI was almost non-existent in 1910 and caused no more than 3,000 deaths per year in 1930. By 1960, there were at least 500,000 MI deaths per year in the US. What lifestyle changes had caused this increase?
Since the early part of the century when the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) had begun to keep track of food 'disappearance' data (the amount of various foods going into the food supply), a number of researchers had noticed a change in the kind of fats Americans were eating.
Butter consumption was declining, while the use of vegetable oils, especially oils that had been hardened to resemble butter by a process called 'hydrogenation', was increasing dramatically.
The statistics pointed to one obvious conclusion: Americans should eat the traditional foods - including meat, eggs, butter and cheese - that nourished their ancestors, and avoid the newfangled, vegetable-oil-based foods that were flooding the grocers' shelves.
Judging from both food data and turn-of-the-century cookbooks, the American diet in 1900 was a rich one, with at least 35 to 40 per cent of calories coming from fats, mostly dairy fats in the form of butter, cream, whole milk, and also eggs. Salad dressing recipes usually called for egg yolks or cream; only occasionally for olive oil. Lard or tallow served for frying.
Rich dishes like head cheese and scrapple contributed additional saturated fats during an era when cancer and heart disease were rare. Butter substitutes made up only a small portion of the American diet, and these margarines were blended from coconut oil, animal tallow and lard - all rich in natural saturates.
The technology by which liquid vegetable oils could be hardened to make margarine was first discovered by a French chemist named Sabatier. He found that a nickel catalyst would cause the hydrogenation (the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated bonds to make them saturated) of ethylene gas to ethane.
Subsequently, the British chemist Norman developed the first application of hydrogenation to food oils and took out a patent. In 1909, Procter & Gamble acquired the US rights to a British patent on making liquid vegetable oils solid at room temperature.
After the Second World War, 'improvements' made it possible to plasticise highly unsaturated oils from corn and soybeans. New catalysts allowed processors to 'selectively hydrogenate' the kinds of fatty acids found in soy and canola oils - those with three double bonds.
Called 'partial hydrogenation', this new method allowed processors to replace cotton-seed oil with more unsaturated corn and soybean oils in margarines and shortenings. This spurred a meteoric rise in soybean production from virtually nothing in 1900 to 70 million tons in 1970, surpassing corn production. Today, soy oil dominates the market and is used in almost 80 per cent of all hydrogenated oils.
The unstated solution was one that could be easily presented to the public: eat natural, traditional fats; avoid newfangled foods made from vegetable oils; use butter, not margarine.
But medical research and public consciousness took a different tack - one that accelerated the decline of traditional foods like meat, eggs and butter, and fuelled continued dramatic increases in vegetable oil consumption.
Secrets of the Edible Oil Industry:
One study that was known to McGovern Committee members, but not mentioned in its final report, compared calves fed saturated fat from tallow and lard with calves fed unsaturated fat from soybean oil.
The calves fed tallow and lard did indeed show higher plasma cholesterol levels than the soybean-oil-fed calves; fat-streaking was found in their aortas, and atherosclerosis was also enhanced.
But the calves fed soybean oil showed a decline in calcium and magnesium levels in the blood, possibly due to inefficient absorption. They utilised vitamins and minerals inefficiently, showed poor growth and poor bone development, and had abnormal hearts.
More cholesterol per unit of dry matter was found in the aorta, liver, muscle, fat and coronary arteries - a finding which led the investigators to the conclusion that the lower blood cholesterol levels in the soybean-oil-fed calves may be the result of cholesterol being transferred from the blood to other tissues.
The calves in the soybean oil group collapsed when forced to move around and they were unaware of their surroundings for short periods. They also had rickets and diarrhoea.
The McGovern Committee report continued dietary trends already in progress: the increased use of vegetables oils, especially in the form of partially hydrogenated margarines and shortenings.
Enig noted a number of studies that directly contradicted the McGovern Committee's conclusions that "there is...a strong correlation between dietary fat intake and the incidence of breast cancer and colon cancer" - two of the most common cancers in America.
Enig analysed the USDA data that the McGovern Committee had used and concluded that they showed a strong positive correlation with total fat and vegetable fat and an essentially strong negative correlation or no correlation with animal fat to total cancer deaths, breast and colon cancer mortality and breast and colon cancer incidence - in other words, use of vegetable oils seemed to predispose to cancer, and animal fats seemed to protect against cancer."

Blue Jays rediscover long ball to upend Yankees
Yankees pitchers did an excellent job in the first two games of the series at Toronto this week in keeping the powerful Blue Jays hitters in the yard. Well, two out of three ain't bad. And the rubber game Thursday night was plenty bad for the Yanks.
In the longest outing by a Yankees starter this year (6 2/3 innings), Nathan Eovaldi was rolling along for five innings before the Blue Jays finally found a way to clear the fence. A hanging splitter on a 1-0 count was crushed by Josh Donaldson, last year's American League Most Valuable Player, for a 440-foot bomb into the center field restaurant seats at Rogers Centre that turned a 2-0 Yankees lead into a 3-2 deficit.
It only got worse an inning later when Troy Tulowitzki slammed a first-pitch slider to left for a solo homer. Eovaldi had worked out of trouble in the fourth inning by getting Tulowitzki on an infield pop and striking out Michael Saunders to strand runners on second and third, but the righthander's luck ran out in the fifth. With two out, Kevin Pillar doubled over third base, sending Russell Martin, who had walked, to third base. First base was open, but Donaldson has the luxury of having fellow slugger Jose Bautista batting behind him. In a case of pick your poison, Donaldson supplied the lethal dose this time.
Now working with a lead, Blue Jays righthander Marcus Stroman took control as he retired the last 11 batters he faced. He kept the ball down in the zone so well that only four of the 24 outs Stroman recorded were on balls in the air. Roberto Osuna finished up with a 1-2-3 ninth for his fourth save in making it 14 straight outs by the Yankees from the fifth inning to the end of the game.
The Yankees' offense was pretty anemic. They were retired in order in six of the nine innings and managed only three hits, all singles. Their two-run rally in the fourth was aided by Stroman, who struck slumping Alex Rodriguez with a pitch and yielded singles to Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann that loaded the bases with one out. Carlos Beltran avoided being doubled up in beating a play at first base to drive in one run. Stroman wild-pitched in the second one. Considering that the Yankees were 3-for-22 (.136) with runners in scoring position in the series, they were lucky to come away with at least one victory.
Stroman improved his career record against the Yankees to 5-1 with a 2.39 ERA. Eovaldi had a seven-game road winning streak dating to last season stopped. So nearing the end of the second week of the season, the Yankees at 4-4 and the Blue Jays at 5-5 are playing .500 ball, but for now just not against each other.
Nova still adapting to reliever's role
The invincibility of the Yankees' bullpen took a hit Wednesday night due mainly because of a pitcher not used to working in relief. In his previous appearance a week ago at Yankee Stadium, Ivan Nova earned his first career save with four shutout innings against the Astros.
So Yankees manager Joe Girardi had every reason to believe that they could remain within a run's reach of the Blue Jays when he brought in Nova to hold them down in the eighth inning after Mark Teixeira's third home run of the season had cut Toronto's lead to 3-2. Nova, who was beaten out in the spring for a spot in the rotation by CC Sabathia, had a miserable time of it in yielding four runs as the Jays pulled away for a 7-2 victory.
"It's different for him." Girardi said about Nova's new role, "but we need him to get outs."
Toronto scored a run before Nova got an out that inning on doubles by Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista. The two-base hit was big for the Jays, who have not homered in either game of the series but lashed out six doubles Wednesday night, including two by 9-hole hitter Ryan Goins, who had three hits and two RBI. After getting Edwin Encarnacion out on a ground ball, Nova gave up an RBI single to Troy Tulowitzki and Michael Saunders' second double of the game on a late swing against the shift.
Russell Martin knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly for the second out, but Nova hit Justin Smoak in the foot with a pitch and gave up a run-scoring single to Goins. The four runs allowed by Nova raised his ERA from 0.00 to 7.20 and that of the overall bullpen from a league-best 0.84 to 2.31.
Michael Pineda got through six innings but threw 105 innings and was uncharacteristically wild with three walks. Goins' first double with two out in the second put Toronto ahead. After tying the score in the fifth against J.A. Happ on a double by Ronald Torreys, a single by Austin Romine and an infield out, an errant throw by Torreys, who played shortstop with Didi Gregorius getting a night off, opened the door for two Toronto runs. Smoak scored on the wild throw, and Goins came home as Donaldson grounded into a double play.
Kirby Yates pitched a shutout seventh with two strikeouts to extend the bullpen's scoreless string to 7 1/3 innings before Nova came unglued in the eighth.
Tulowitzki knocked out of game
Troy Tulowitzki, a key figure in the Blue Jays' renaissance the past two months, had to come out of the first game of Saturday's doubleheader at Yankee Stadium in the third inning after colliding with center fielder Kevin Pillar.
Tulowitzki was tracking a pop fly to shallow center field by Didi Gregorius and made the catch for the third out of the second inning in front of a charging Pillar, who ran into the shortstop. Tulowitzki dropped the ball from his glove and then fell to the ground on his back and stretched his legs into the air. He lay on the field for several minutes and was attended to by a trainer before he walked off the field under his own power.
When Toronto took the field again in the bottom of the third inning, Tulowitzki did not join his teammates. Cliff Pennington entered the game at second base with Ryan Goins moving to shortstop.
X-rays of Tulowitzki's chest and ribs were negative, but an MRI exam revealed upper back muscle bruises and a small crack in his left shoulder blade.
Tulowitzki and relief pitcher LaTroy Hawkins came to Toronto July 28 in a trade from Colorado that involved shortstop Jose Reyes going to the Rockies. Tulowitzki, who struck out in his only at-bat Saturday, is hitting .232 with five home runs and 17 RBI in 38 games and 155 at-bats since the trade, and the Blue Jays have a 29-8 record when he is in the starting lineup. Toronto was in third place in the American League East and eight games behind the first-place Yankees the day of the Tulowitzki trade and entered play Saturday in first place in the division with a 2 1/2-game lead over the Yanks.
Tulowitzki has had a checkered history of health issues. In his 10 seasons in the major leagues, he has played more than 150 games only once. Saturday was his 126th game this season. The Blue Jays have 21 games remaining so he won't get to 150 this year, either.
Toronto takes Round 1 by a knockout
The Blue Jays applied some pressure on the Yankees with a five-homer, 11-5 victory Friday night in the opener of the four-game showdown series at Yankee Stadium. By increasing their lead in the American League East to 2 1/2 games, Toronto put the Yanks in a position of having to win the final three games to knock the Jays out of first place before leaving town after Sunday's game.
The Blue Jays swept the Yankees in a three-game series at the Stadium in early August and have won five straight games, 10 of their past 15 and 14 of their past 22 games in the Bronx. Toronto, which has an 80-60 overall record, is 35-14 since the All-Star break and 27-9 since the beginning of August. The Jays trailed the Yankees by eight games in the standings July 28 and have made up 10 1/2 games since then.
Luis Severino had his first rough outing for the Yankees. In his first six starts, the rookie righthander did not allow more than three runs in any of them and only a total of two runs in his past three starts covering 18 1/3 innings.
It was a much different story this time as the Blue Jays banged Severino around for five runs and five hits, including four for extra bases, in the first inning. The Yankees were down, 5-0, before about half the people in the Friday night crowd of 40,220 had taken their seats or David Price had taken the mound.
Severino was in trouble immediately as Ben Revere led off with a double, and Josh Donaldson, expanding his AL Most Valuable Player credentials, followed with a home run (No. 38) into the left field bleachers. Severino struck out Jose Bautista but then gave up three straight hits — a double to right-center by Edwin Encarnacio, an RBI single to left by Troy Tulowitzki and a two-run homer to right by Justin Smoak.
Severino seemed to have settled down when he struck out Donaldson and Bautista to strand Revere at second base, but in the third he walked two batters, threw a wild pitch and allowed an RBI single to Russell Martin that prompted manager Joe Girardi to go to his bullpen.
Martin did even more damage in his next two at-bats with a couple of home runs, a solo shot leading off the fifth against Andrew Bailey and a two-run blast in the seventh off Chasen Shreve. Encarnacion also went deep with two out in the fourth off Chris Martin, who was recalled from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to the game.
The five home runs were emblematic of the bludgeoning Toronto bats have done to AL pitching this year with 197 homers in 140 games.
The large lead proved beneficial to Price, who was not overwhelming and lasted only five innings. The lefthander gave up two hits, six hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in improving his overall record to 15-5 with a 2.46 ERA. Price is 6-1 with a 2.28 ERA in eight starts totaling 55 1/3 innings since being traded to the Blue Jays from the Tigers.
Four of the Yankees' runs were driven in by Didi Gregorius with a two-out single off Price in the third inning and a three-run homer off LaTroy Hawkins in the sixth that cut the margin to 9-5 and had Yankees fans cheering for a change. Martin's second homer and the fact that the Yankees made their last nine outs in succession spoiled any chance for a comeback..
Sun-aided hit puts shadow on Severino outing
Carlos Beltran, who played key roles in the Yankees' victories at Toronto Friday night and Saturday, was at the center of a negative situation in the third inning Sunday. His failure to catch a fly ball to right field kept the inning alive for the Blue Jays, who went on to score three runs.
Beltran lost Troy Tulowitzki's drive in the glaring sun at Rogers Centre with the roof open as the ball glanced off his left hip. It was originally ruled an error by official scorer Marie-Claude Pelland-Marcotte, who eventually reversed her decision and credited Tulowitzki with a double.
The scoring change had a major effect on Luis Severino's pitching line. After the Beltran play, which occurred with two out, Severino gave up a single to Josh Donaldson that scored the game's first run and a long home run to center field by Jose Bautista (No. 28) for two more runs. Donaldson's hit was the only one in 22 at-bats with runners in scoring position for the Blue Jays in the series.
Had Pelland-Marcotte not reversed her ruling, all the runs against Severino's record would have been unearned. Instead, they were earned and in my opinion deservedly so.
Such a play is an example of an age-old argument about who is responsible for a hitter reaching base in that circumstance. Talk about creating a team error for such situations has been going on since at least the 1960s, but Major League Baseball has always been reluctant to make any change. And for good reason, I say. Official scoring rules dictate that responsibility for base movement falls on an individual pitcher or fielder. That is an essential part of scoring a baseball game. A team error would be a copout for an indecisive scorer.
Fact is, it would be unfair to charge Beltran with an error when the elements made it impossible to see the ball. Such plays have been called hits regularly. The argument that Severino should not be penalized because he gave up a routine fly ball does not wash because the sun made it uncatchable. He still needs to get a third out and compounded the situation by giving up run-scoring hits to the next two batters. Those runs looked pretty earned to me. (One scoring rule that really irks me is when a pitcher is not charged with an earned run because of an error when it was he who made the error.)
Severino certainly recovered from that damaging inning and gave up only one hit and two walks with six of his nine strikeouts from the fourth through the sixth. The Yankees also got quality relief work by Chasen Shreve and Adam Warren but did not overcome what happened in the third inning.
The final was 3-1 Toronto with the Yankees' only run coming on a solo home run in the sixth by Jacoby Ellsbury, who showed signs of coming out of a prolonged slump with a 5-for-14 (.357) series with a triple, a home run and two RBI.
So for all the strong work Severino has shown in his three starts he remains winless (0-2) despite a 3.18 ERA. On the other hand, Blue Jays starter Drew Hutchison has a 12-2 record despite a 5.06 ERA. Hutchison has benefit from the largest run support of any starter in the American League (more than seven runs per game), although he did not have a bunch of runs to work with Sunday. The righthander limited the Yankees to two hits other than the Ellsbury homer and one walk with five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
Winning two of the three games in Toronto took some of the sting out of being swept at home last weekend by the Blue Jays for the Yankees, who come home back in first place in the AL Ease by a half-game over the Blue Jays. These teams will face each other seven more times in September, so nothing definitive would have been settled this weekend anyway.
Yet even in losing four of the six games to the Jays over the past two weekends the Yankees displayed effective pitching with a 2.67 ERA over 54 innings against the majors' most productive offense, an extremely positive development.
Yanks back in 1st after ending Jays' 11-win run
Well now, look who is back in first place?
In a stunning turn of events, the Yankees, who were staring at the possibility of yet another shutout loss to the Blue Jays, kicked over the table with a four-run eighth inning to cool off Toronto before a packed house at Rogers Centre.
The crushing blow for the Yanks came from Carlos Beltran, who came off the bench to bat for Chris Young once lefthander David Price was replaced on the mound by righthander Aaron Sanchez. Beltran, 0-for-3 previously as a pinch hitter, was overmatched by two 97-mph fastballs from Sanchez but in an old-school approach shortened up on the bat and made solid contact with another 97-mph heater for a three-run home run that headed the Yankees toward a 4-3 victory.
The Yankees had runners on base in seven of eight innings against Price but did not put any of them across the plate until the eighth when Chase Headley followed one-out singles by Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann with his second double of the game to end a 33-inning scoreless drought against Toronto pitching. Next came Beltran and soon the Jays' 11-game winning streak was history.
Not that it went all that smoothly before the Yankees celebrated. Dellin Betances pitched a perfect eighth inning, but Andrew Miller did another high-wire act in the ninth as a walk, a single and a wild pitch gave the Blue Jays runners on second and third with one out.
With a sellout crowd of 46,689 in the enclosed Rogers Centre creating a postseason atmosphere, Miller truly earned his 26th save by striking out Ben Revere and Troy Tulowitzki, two of the recently-acquired players through trades that have transformed the Jays into serious contenders.
The Tulowitzki at-bat was a chamber of tension climaxed by his swinging and missing the 12th pitch, a hard-breaking slider. The Blue Jays had been 13-0 in games started by Tulowitzki although the Yankees have handled him for the most part. In four games against the Yankees over the past week, Tulowitzki is 2-for-17 (.118) with one home run and two RBI.
Beltran's 11th home run of the season made a deserving winner of Ivan Nova (5-4), who had one bad inning, the third, when the Blue Jays had three of their five hits off the righthander and all their runs on a fielder's choice by Tulowitzki, a double by Jose Bautista and a sacrifice fly by Edwin Encarnacion. Nova gave up only two hits in his other six innings.
So the Yankees take a half-game lead into Saturday's game at Toronto and are two games up on the Jays in the loss column. What a difference a single inning can make.
Fans contribute to Yankees' pain
The Yankees are having a tough enough time these days without the fans making it harder for them. After suffering their second straight shutout loss Sunday to complete a three-game sweep by the surging Blue Jays, the Yankees watched their first-place hold in the American League East dwindle to 1 1/2 games to Toronto, which remains three games behind in the loss column.
Make no mistake, however. The race in the division has tightened up to a degree that the Yankees could not have expected 12 days ago when they had a seven-game lead and were eight games up on the Jays, then in third place. The additions of shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and pitcher David Price before the non-waiver trade deadline last month were serious upgrades for Toronto, which the Yanks witnessed first hand during this lost weekend.
And in Sunday's 2-0 setback they took their lumps literally as well as figuratively. In the first inning after Josh Donaldson hit a long home run to left field off Masahiro Tanaka, a fan threw the ball back onto the field and struck left fielder Brett Gardner on the right side of his head.
"Not at all," Gardner said when asked if he was upset. "Don't care. I was just lucky the guy who threw it wasn't as close as the second row."
This tradition of tossing back onto the field opponents' home runs began at Chicago's Wrigley Field in the 1980s and has been part of the Yankee Stadium experience as well for some time. I must admit that it never made any sense to me. If I were to catch a home run ball in the stands, I would not throw it back onto the field. I would keep it and bring it home to my kids. Why honor a tradition that began with a franchise that has not won a World Series for more than 100 years?
Gardner was kind not to make a big deal out of it. In fact, he even said the fans were correct in getting on him because neither he nor teammate Jacoby Ellsbury did very much at the top of the order in this series. They were a combined 2-for-23 (both hits were singles by Gardner) with two walks and no runs scored in the series.
Less accepting of fans' behavior was first baseman Mark Teixeira, who was still annoyed after the game that a fan in the box seats interfered with him as he tried to catch a foul ball by Blue Jays designated hitter Chris Colabello in the ninth inning. Colabello eventually struck out, but Tex was still sore about the situation.
"Tell the fans they can insult but not assault," he said. "I know we just lost three games, and we're sorry about that. But, please, no assaults, just insults."
It was that kind of series for the Yankees, who scored only one run in the three games, none in the last two and are in a scoreless streak that has reached 26 innings, their longest in 24 years. The last time the Yankees went this long without scoring was back in the Stump Merrill days of May 15-18, 1991, a stretch of 32 blank innings.
The Yankees were shut out in consecutive games for the first time since May 12-13, 1999 against the Angels and had played 2,665 games between the consecutive shutout streaks, the longest stretch of not being shut out in back-to–back games in major league history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The Yankees began the homestand last Tuesday night with a 13-3 victory over the Red Sox. They scored only four runs in their next 45 innings.
"Just a bump in the road," Teixeira said.
It was actually more like an enormous pothole. The Yankees wasted several strong pitching performances, including Tanaka's six-inning stint Sunday in which he allowed three hits and no walks with five strikeouts. Unfortunately, two of the hits were home runs. Joining Donaldson was Jose Bautista with a solo blast in the fourth. The Jays out-homered the Yanks in the series, 6-1.
"It is never a good thing to get swept at home by the team that is chasing you," Gardner said. "We'll try to have a short-term memory, regroup on the off-day [Monday] and get back to our game in Cleveland. There are still another six or seven weeks left in the season."
The Yankees found out over the weekend the rest of the season will be more challenging than they may have realized not that long ago.
Jays continue to flex muscles against Yanks
The Blue Jays are not exactly breathing down the Yankees' necks, but Toronto has certainly made its presence felt in the American League East race this weekend at Yankee Stadium. As recently as July 28, the Yankees had a seven-game lead in the division. After Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Jays, the Yanks' spread is down to 2 1/2 games.
Yes, they are four games up on Toronto in the loss column, which is one consolation, but they have been no match for the Jays' muscle. The recent offensive slump continued against lefthander David Price, whom they had beaten up twice earlier this season (30.86 ERA in 2 1/3 innings) but who was flawless Saturday with seven brilliant innings (three hits, three walks, seven strikeouts).
The Yankees suffered their fourth shutout loss of the season and ended a stretch of nine non-losing series. They had not lost a series since June 29-July 1 when they dropped two of three games to the Angels at Anaheim. The Yanks are 2-6 against the Jays this year and have lost the first three series between them. There is still plenty of baseball left for these clubs against each other. They will meet up again next weekend at Toronto and seven more times in September.
"There is a long way to go," Yankees manager Joe Girardi noted after the game. "I called this an important series before it started, but we have two months to go so you can't get overly concerned about two games."
Nevertheless, Girardi added that Masahiro Tanaka needs to come up big Sunday against Toronto righthander Marco Estrada as well as an offense that has disappeared during this homestand. Since exploding for 13 runs against the Red Sox to open the homestand five days ago, the Yankees have scored four runs in their past 37 innings and none in their past 17. They are hitless in 13 at-bats with runners in scoring position over the past four games, three of them losses.
Ivan Nova was coasting along for five innings matching Price in putting up zeroes until it all came apart in the sixth. Two walks around a single by Jose Bautista, who won Friday night's game with a 10th-inning home run, filled the bases for Justin Smoak, who belted a 0-1 pitch to right field for his first career grand slam.
Girardi had Adam Warren in the bullpen but counted on Nova's sinker to get a much-needed ground ball, but the two-seamer had lost its effectiveness by then. Newcomer Troy Tulowitzki was 0-for-7 in the series before he connected in the seventh off Bryan Mitchell for a solo home run.
An error by second baseman Brendan Ryan led to an unearned run in the eighth on a two-out, RBI infield single by Russell Martin, the only one of Toronto's eight runs in the series that was not the result of a home run.
An 0-for-4 by Mark Teixeira ended his stretch of 24 consecutive games in which he reached base. The Yankees had only five base runners in the game and failed to homer for the first time in 13 games.
Emphasizing the obvious, Girardi said, "We have to start swinging the bats."
Early fireworks spark Yanks-Jays showdown
Pitchers have a chore negotiating their way through the first four batters of the Toronto lineup as Nathan Eovaldi was the latest to experience Friday night. Three of the hitters reached base in the first inning and the other came within inches of a home run.
Still, Eovaldi was fortunate to escape the inning with only one run, the result of Josh Donaldson's 30th home run of the season. The previous batter, leadoff hitter Troy Tulowitzki, threatened to go yard, but Brett Gardner caught the ball on the warning track near the left field corner.
Pitching carefully to slugger Jose Bautista, Eovaldi walked him on a full count. Edwin Encarnacion followed with a double down the left field line, which sent Bautista to third. Eovaldi survived the gauntlet and got out of the jam by retiring Justin Smoak on a fly to shallow left and Russell Martin on a grounder in front of the mound.
For the second time in three nights, the Yankees had to contend with a knuckleball pitcher. Former National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey started for the Jays. The Yanks had only one run and four hits in eight innings Wednesday night in a 2-1 loss to the Red Sox and Steven Wright.
The Yankees were obviously hoping that having faced a knuckleballer so recently might have been to their advantage, although manager Joe Girardi was not so sure.
"There are all kinds of theories on that," Girard said. "The difference in speed. It's really hard to say. I've seen where you face a knuckleballer and had a ton of success and then you do poorly the next day against the guy. Or vice versa: you do poorly against the knuckleballer and hit the next guy. It really comes down to if the pitcher is making his pitches."
Mark Teixeira, who was 0-for-3 against Wright, matched Donaldson with his 30th home run leading off the second inning. It took more than three minutes for the dinger to become legit because Toronto manager John Gibbons requested a review based on a contention that a fan had obstructed with left fielder Ben Revere's view of the ball by extending his hands over the wall. Replays showed that the fan never touched the ball, however, and Tex could touch 'em all.
Just another All-Star Game for Jeter
MINNEAPOLIS — It was typical of Derek Jeter to take a matter-of-fact approach to the 2014 All-Star Game at Target Field and not place any special significance of his last go-round among the top players of the game.
The FOX network that is broadcasting Tuesday night's event had wanted to have a microphone on Jeter to record his throughs during the game. You know his answer to that, an emphatic no. Yankees fans would have been proud of Jeter's appearance at Monday's media session at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. While most players were dressed casually, there was Jeter in a power blue suit complete with tie. Classy, as usual.
"I don't go into things with expectations," Jeter told reporters. "I'm looking forward to playing the game, and I pretty much stopped it right there. I've always enjoyed All-Star Games, and I've always appreciated it, so I don't think I'll treat this one any differently. Everybody wants me to be so emotional all of the time, but I'm coming here to play the game, and everything else that comes with it, I don't know."
Opposing catcher Jonathan Lucroy of the Brewers for one cannot wait to see what the reaction to Jeter will be.
"When he comes to the plate, you know he's going to get a two-minute standing ovation," Lucroy said. "I was telling my wife, 'What am I going to do? It's going to be awkward.' I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my hands. I may drop everything and start cheering myself."
Jeter has been pretty coy about this farewell tour stuff, not wanting teams to over-do it. He's a different sort from Mariano Rivera, who basked in the glow of his farewell tour a year ago. Jeter just wants to go about his business. There is still baseball to play this year. He is still wearing a Yankees uniform. He is still ready to contribute on a daily basis.
I cannot believe that some writers criticized American League manager John Farrell of the Red Sox for batting Jeter leadoff in the game, claiming the Yankees captain was not deserving due to his .272 batting average. Give me a break. Have these people no sense of propriety. Jeter earned the spot not just for this season but for all 19 years that preceded it.
I would like to remind these critics that Jeter has had one of the best All-Star careers in the game's history. He took a .440 average into Tuesday night's game with five runs, one double, one home run and three RBI in 25 at-bats. He was the Most Valuable Player of the 2000 game at Turner Field in Atlanta when he went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI. Later that year, he was the MVP of the Yankees' World Series triumph over the Mets. His All-Star home run came in 2001 at Safeco Field in Seattle.
Farrell is not alone in his admiration for Jeter. Listen to what two other managers, AL coaches Ron Gardenhire of the Twins and Terry Francona of the Indians, had to say about Jeter to USA Today:
"Although he has kicked our butt a lot of times and knocked us out of the playoffs, I admire him so much," Gardenhire said, referring to the Yankees beating the Twins, 12-2, in postseason games with Jeter at shortstop.
Added Francona, "That's the single high point of being here, to watch him in person. I am thrilled. He represents what is good about this game."
Chiming in was National League shortstop Troy Tulowitzki of the Rockies: "He's everything I always wanted to be. He's why I play shortstop. He's why I wear No. 2. And to be starting across the side opposite side of him in his final All-Star Game will definitely be cool."
It was also typical of Jeter when asked his favorite All-Star moment not to pick a game in which he starred. He picked the 1999 game at Fenway Park in Boston when he was 0-for-1. What made it special to Jeter was that the All-Century Team was honored before the game.
"All those great players on the field, and I get a tap on my shoulder," Jeter recalled. "It's Hank Aaron. He said he was looking for me because he wanted to meet me. He wants to meet me? That's one of the best moments on the baseball field that stands out for me."
In the same vein, commissioner Bud Selig commented on Jeter during his annual question-and-answer session at the Baseball Writers' Association of America's All-Star meeting at the Marriott City Center Hotel.
"If you said two decades ago that this is the guy you wanted to be the face of baseball and being what this generation will remember, you couldn't have written a script better," Selig said. "I said to a friend of mine last night talking about Henry Aaron, 'How lucky can you be to have an American icon like Henry Aaron?' How lucky can this sport be to have an icon for this generation like Derek Jeter? He has just been remarkable."

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Amazing and accommodating staff!
Just the one night and it was a nice stay. We would go back there again.
Great hotel, comfortable, nice location. If you get the river side there's really good views out the window. Nice place to stay in Idaho Falls. Internet service isn't great, that's probably my only real issue with any of the Hilton's, even upgrading to the high-speed Internet only gets you about 6 mbs, complimentary is barely 2 mbs.
Front desk staff were great and were willing to go an extra mile to fulfill a request.
hotel is located next to the river and walking path so you can enjoy a beautiful walk around the water. very comfortable rooms. will definitely stay here again the next trip to Idaho Falls.

"This is my third year using tiny prints for my Christmas cards and they just keep getting better and better. These cards are absolutely beautiful and I can't stop looking at them."
"Soft and beautiful. Great Quality Print and Paper. Speedy Arrival. I opted for shimmer paper a little reluctantly and never looked back- it is gorgeous. Embodies the holiday spirit!"
"I have been ordering Shutterfly and Tinyprint holiday cards for years, and I've always been pleased. But I think this year Tinyprints and I have really outdone ourselves! I ordered the "elated tidings" cards with shimmer paper and the bracket trim. I also upgrade to the kraft envelopes, and I skipped the "elated tidings" matching address labels in favor of the "golden laurels" address labels, and I'm thrilled with that decision. I think they look great together. I did the black back with a one paragraph mini-letter about my year. The cards printed beautifully. The shimmer is subtle and gives the card a luxe look. I can't wait to get these in the mail!"
"So pleased with the end result of my 2012 holiday card - the preview option made me know exactly what I was going to get and I was that much more satisfied when the nice quality of their product arrived on time - I am sure to have the best card yet, especially with my beautiful Seymour as the subject!"
"Perfect for a pet lover - Great title; paper, picture quality and size are outstanding - Have referred friends to your site. Thinking about ordering more items such as: mugs, more cards, etc."
