Pictures of these 3 new canvas AF1 lows surfaces recently on a few sneaker forums. For those who were in the dark and confused about the release, SneakerNews is here to clear it all up! What you are looking at is the latest Quickstrike from Nike. The pack consists of 3 canvas AF1 Lows with tucked edges, very similar to the Bobbito Canvas from last year. The midsoles however are rubber, but in a flavorful twist, they are mated to an ice sole! These release on 4.3.08 so be sure to call your nearest Nike dealer to find out if they are coming in. No word yet as to how limited these are, but if Nike follows suit with its most recent AF1 drops, then these will certainly be pretty tough to find. There will be no multiple size runs of this shoe that's for sure, so if you sleep you may find yourself scouring the web for your size. Spring is certainly off to a great start as Nike continues to keep things simple and focus on classic contrasts like material and outsole usage as illustrated with this pack.

We're people expecting this team to take off after losing Votto....like they did last year?
I cannot tell if they are just saving their energy for August and September and pacing themselves. With great expectations comes great responsibility.
We may so Go bengals...but they have high expectations as well, that never works well for Bengals teams since I have been watching them from 1974 onwards.

Let's Go, Mez!
It'll be a quiet trade deadline. It'll pass and we'll limp with what we have into the playoffs. I can't imagine we don't correct this and miss the playoffs.
Oh yeah, and we already pinch hit for Choo. That's awesome!
Homer Bailey hasn't won a game since his no hitter ... and it feels like our offense hasn't scored a run since then.
What a joke. I'm done with this team.
I would rather not make a move than jeopardize our future.

Saying the same thing over and over gets repetitive and useless. If it makes you that disgusted to watch Reds' games, then go take it out on a wall or something. Don't make everyone else even more miserable listening to you complain.

5 Ways to Fight Greed in Your Church
by mark-macdonald | October 2, 2012
Dictionary.com defines the word greed as, "excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions." I am not sure if I prefer that definition or the one that my children gave when they were younger – "Mine!" Either way, it is clear that greed is a selfish desire for material possessions.
From the moment we come out of the womb, we all wrestle with the desire to obtain and hoard possessions. As adults, we simply become more refined in our cravings; we trade in hot wheels for SUV's; we give up our Legos to pursue luxuries that are more expensive.
God always knew this would be a struggle for us. That's why He concluded the Ten Commandments by saying, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor" (Exodus 20:17). God included homes, people, possessions and "anything" else that we may covet in this command. Apparently, that means that our hearts have a problem with desire. We all wrestle with greed.
In the New Testament, Paul reminds us of this same struggle. In Ephesians 4, we are told that apart from being controlled by God's Spirit, we struggle with a "continual lust for more" (Ephesians 4:19). Greed is a large part of our old nature and our old self.
As we continue through church history, many prominent church leaders expressed this same idea. At one point, Martin Luther reviewed the 10 Commandments and their relationship to the New Testament. His conclusion was that the core of all of our problems relates to idolatry. We create idols that keep us away from God and keep us from imitating the generosity of God. In fact, Luther surmised that if we could keep the first two commandments ("You must not have any other god but me" and "You must not make for yourself an idol"), we would not need the other eight. He realized that one of our greatest spiritual battles is against the pull of material possessions.
John Wesley was also famous for his stance against greed. Although he had a healthy income by the end of his life, he died with nothing more than the coins in his pocket. He knew the generosity of God and the dangers of greed. At one point, Wesley said;
"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can."
In other words, Wesley preached that generosity should be a foundational practice in our lives to avoid the entrapments of greed.
As you think about your own life, you can probably identify several points where this struggle with greed surfaces. Maybe it's in a longing for possessions. Maybe it's in a desire for self-esteem and respect. Maybe it is tied up in a desire to always be the dominate voice in your relationships. Regardless of the specifics, you know what it is. You know which longings captivate your heart.
But, what about your church community? How is greed influencing the direction and character of your church? It's a lot harder to identify where greed is rearing its head in your spiritual community. Greed is often cloaked in positive projects and positions of service. Church greed can be covered by good activities. That is one of the reasons greed is so dangerous; it hides in the shadows of the church.
So, how can you identify it and start to weed the greedy motives out of your church community?
What about you? Have you found other ways to fight greed in your church community? Comment below to share your stories and thoughts.

SG: Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
Before I say a few remarks let me just say what had happened in Libya. I was shocked to hear that the Prime Minister of Libya, Mr. Ali Zeidan, was abducted this morning. I condemn this abduction in the strongest possible terms. I sincerely hope that this report coming from Libya that he had been released would be true. But it is not yet confirmed. I have just spoken to my Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Libya, Mr. Tarek Mitri, and we discussed about this matter. He is working very hard in close consultation with the Libyan Government and all key partners to ensure his safe release and also to make sure that the political transition of Libya will be continued as scheduled.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me just say about the UN and ASEAN partnership.
I am pleased to be in Brunei for the fifth UN-ASEAN Summit meeting.
I commend Brunei and His Majesty Sultan Bolkiah for ably convening this Summit meeting and for his hospitality.
Brunei Darussalam has played an important role in strengthening the relationship between ASEAN and the United Nations during this year.
We have just reviewed the Joint Declaration on Comprehensive Partnership between the United Nations and ASEAN which was adopted two years ago in Bali, Indonesia.
Our collaboration covers a wide span – from disaster management to addressing climate change; from human rights to conflict prevention; from social welfare and HIV/AIDS to culture and education.
I look forward to our continued partnership, based on producing tangible results for the people of Southeast Asia.
ASEAN is at the threshold of an exciting new era as it moves towards the establishment of the ASEAN Community in 2015.
2015 is also a major year for the United Nations for three reasons.
First, it marks the deadline for the Millennium Development Goals. The United Nations is accelerating together with the Member States to realize the Millennium Development Goals.
And second, 2015 is when we must finalize an ambitious legal climate change agreement. The Member States have agreed in Durban in 2011 that they would agree to a legally binding climate change agreement by 2015, and allow five more years for ratification so that by 2020 the international community would have a legal document on climate change.
Thirdly, we have to define a bold and ambitious but practical sustainable development – that means post-2015 development - agenda.
I count on the contribution of ASEAN countries towards all these objectives.
Just over 800 days remain to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
Southeast Asia has shown considerable progress, but gaps remain within and among countries.
We need to harness the region's dynamism to set new standards for equitable growth and sustainable development.
The United Nations is proud to work with ASEAN countries to this end, and we look forward to furthering our partnership with Myanmar as the Chair of ASEAN 2014 and Malaysia in 2015.
Thank you for your attention. I will now be glad to answer a few questions.
Q: On Libya, how concerned are you about the situation on the ground?
SG:. It is not only in Libya. In many countries where they have experienced by this transformation for democratization we still see continuing violence and political instability. The United Nations, through UNSMIL, the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, have been working very closely with the Libyan authorities and neighbouring countries to help them to, first of all, establish their political stability and establish rule of law. And we have been trying to provide socio-economic support so that they could be able to move ahead with this political transition. It would be very important for the Libyan Government and leadership to have inclusive dialogue and reconciliation so that all the people can really join this political transition. We will continue to do that. This very unfortunate abduction of a Prime Minister is a clear wake-up call, not only for Libyan people but all other areas where they are experienced these political transformations. The United Nations and key Member States of the United Nations are very closely coordinating on this issue.
Q: Do you have any advice for youth and the future generations? And what should we do to prepare for the Asia-Pacific period?
SG: This world is very young. More than half the world population is under the age of 25. So it is only natural that world leaders should focus more and do more for our future leaders. They are soon going to be the leaders of tomorrow. In fact all these democratic transformations have been taking place with the initiative and active participation of youth and women. The United Nations is focusing and taking as a priority to do more for gender empowerment, women's empowerment, as well as providing equal and better opportunities for young people. That is why for the first time in the United Nations history this year I have appointed a Special Envoy on Youth, Ahmad Ahlendawi - he is a 29-year-old Jordanian young man - to first of all raise the awareness of the international community about the importance of doing more on youth. We have to provide good opportunities, decent opportunities, for their social-economic [future]. And you can count on the United Nations. And on the countries in the Asia-Pacific, I think this is a source of innovation and source of economic growth. I am very happy to be cooperating and working together with the leaders of Asia and Pacific.
Q: The UN human rights envoy to Myanmar, recently on his last visit complained about some harassment and lack of security provided by the Myanmar authorities. Is this something you managed to raise during your time here? Second unrelated question, some of the cholera survivors in Haiti are suing the UN, they say, over the outbreak of the disease there. Can I get your response to that?
SG: On Myanmar, the United Nations has been actively engaging to help Myanmar's democratization. As you will agree that we have seen considerable, remarkable, progress in their participatory democratization. At the same time we all agree and we are also concerned that there are still many more challenges, particularly communal violence which they have been experiencing in Rakhine State involving the Rohingya minority group. We have been working very hard and myself, through my special adviser, Mr. [Vijay] Nambiar, have been engaging to encourage the Myanmar authorities to have inclusive dialogue and reconciliatory policies. I am going to have a meeting tomorrow morning with President Thein Sein of Myanmar and we will discuss more on this matter. On your second point, the United Nations has, again, been working very hard to help Haitian people who have been contaminated by this cholera. I know that there was some legal issue therefore it would not be proper for me at this time to speak more about this case as there will be some legal process going on. But I can make sure that the United Nations will continue to work together with Haitian Government as well as key donor countries to provide the necessary support for the Government and people of Haiti to help those people.
Q: Myanmar is going to take over the ASEAN chairmanship. Will they need to do more to address this communal violence? What do you hope to see?
SG: The Chairmanship of Myanmar is a recognition by the Member States of ASEAN that the Myanmar Government has been really trying to make progress in the social-economic and well as their democratic transition. I myself have been working very closely with the Myanmar authorities. And this Chairmanship of ASEAN next year will provide a very good opportunity for Myanmar and also the Presidential election in 2015. Those two occasions will be very important milestones for the future of Myanmar. It is important that ASEAN countries as well as all United Nations Member states fully encourage Myanmar authorities so that they can do more on this participatory democratic transition. As you know last month I chaired a Group of Friends of Myanmar; that was a ministerial meeting. And we reviewed the current situation and we also reviewed how and what more the international community can [do to] help them. And for the first time the Myanmar authorities, they have sent a Minister, Cabinet Minister, to this meeting – Mr. U Khin Yi, who is the Minister of [Immigration] and Population. It was quite encouraging. I am committed to work closely with ASEAN and Myanmar authorities first of all to help them with a smooth and speedy democratization process. Thank you.

Well, right out of the gate, this is my favorite Gorgoroth album and in my top 5 Black Metal albums. For me, I think this is thier best in the sense that only a few songs off of certain albums lived up to anything off of "Pentagram". I think it does incredibly well on all corners of each member's contribution, musicality, and influence on Metal. It's just good old Black Metal... Nothing much to say. Vocals, check. Tremolo - yet somehow almost melodic - guitar, check. Inhuman double badd drumming, check.
Lyrics — 8
Now, I haven't found this album anywhere in stores, and Gorgoroth refuses that thier lyrics be posted online, so I can't say much about them. Although, when it comes to vocals, I'd take Hat over Gaahl and Pest anyday, so that makes this album even better for me. Hat's screeching goes with the tone of the album so nicely, and he keeps up with Samoth very well.
Overall Impression — 10
Looking at Black Metal as a mass, this is one of the groundbreaking albums. "Deathcrush", "Dark Medieval Times", "Welcome To Hell"; it's great even put up against records like these. The best songs for Infernus' guitarwork are "Ritual" and "Drommer Om Dod", in my opinion; and Goat Pervertor's drumwork is consistent and well done. His short-lived presence in the band was worth it's while. As I said, Hat is at his best. I also think Gorgoroth tried and pretty mcuh succeeded to bring back the initial feeling of the first three albums with Gaahl and King Ov Hell gone. My track picks for this album are: "Ritual" - Starts off strong with a transition that keeps you interested the whole time. "(Under) The Pagan Megalith" - A very well done track, nothing more to say. "Huldrelokk" - Amazing instrumental.

There are times when you need a thousand words to even begin to explain a game or performance.
And there are times when you only need 24 of them. John Tortorella provided the 24 we needed after the Rangers fell 3-1 to the Canadiens in a game that scarred the eyes and souls of all who saw it.
"I thought it was probably one of the worst hockey games I've been involved in, both teams," Tortorella said in his post-game press conference. "But they were better than we were."
Can't argue with anything there. The Canadiens play a neutral zone clogging style heavy on icing infractions that's hideous to watch, but that doesn't excuse the Rangers from not being able to find a way to force Montreal to open up.
The Rangers were content to skate into the teeth of the defense, hand the puck over and then do it all over again a few moments later. It was a lifeless, cynical affair that should shame just about everyone involved.
Former Ranger Brandon Prust was one of the few to show enough spirit and energy to receive an exemption from the loathing heaped upon the rest of the participants in the game. It was fitting, since this year's Rangers team misses Prust a lot more than they should given the fact that players who make their living with energy and fisticuffs aren't supposed to be that hard to find.
The Rangers suffer from deficits in grit and urgency far too often, something that wasn't the case last year and something that has made it seem like the first 15 games of the season have been played in a fog. At 8-6-1, there's no reason to panic about the team but there's also no reason to think they can improve (or even match) last year's result.
All of the ugliness of Tuesday night came against a backdrop of Rick Nash's absence with an injury of an uncertain nature. Nash took an unpenalized shot to the head from Milan Lucic of the Bruins last week and was thought to be suffering some cloudiness despite playing in the next two games.
Nash also suffered a shoulder injury in Switzerland during the lockout, though, and Tortorella was typically tight-lipped about what's wrong with the forward. It's hard to believe that Nash could have lifted Tuesday night's game from the rancid to the watchable, but it's scary to think about what future Rangers games will look like if their most effective player continues to be out of the lineup.
If it's anything like Tuesday night, we'll look back on the lockout as the good old days.

Cordell Broadus is one of the top 2015 prospects in California and his recruitment has picked up even more in recent weeks.
The Diamond Bar, Calif., four-star receiver said coaches from Oregon and, surprisingly, Oklahoma stopped by the school recently and now both major programs are recruiting him.
"They did stop by but they couldn't talk to me because of the rules," Broadus said of Oregon. "Oklahoma was there before the game as well.
Article Continues Below
"(Diamond Bar) coach (Ryan) Maine talked to Oregon but we couldn't talk to them. They just said they're really interested and they're going to be on us the next couple of months. They start usually offering guys in the fall and he just told us to be patient."
Broadus had a message for the Oregon coaches - that he would be visiting for the UCLA contest in late October - and that was definitely well-received in their short conversation.
"I told him I was going up to the Oregon-UCLA game so they're really happy about that," Broadus said. "They want to see us go up there."
Broadus and fellow 2015 receiver Kanya Bell are the two top prospects at Diamond Bar and both already have impressive offer lists. With the new interest from Oklahoma, Broadus hopes even more offers could come in soon.
"That was surprising," Broadus said of the Sooners' involvement. "They never sent me a letter or anything. They just popped up at the school. I was talking to the receivers coach and he was telling me how to improve on and off the field and we were just talking football."
So far, the 2015 wide receiver has offers from Arizona State, Cal, Duke, LSU, Nebraska, Oregon State, Tennessee, USC, UCLA and Washington.

Diorama Christian Dior - User Opinions and Reviews
Date Added: 30/06/2015Christian Dior Diorama is pure classiness, hot, woody, exquisite. I completely loved it and felt like a model when I wore it and fits perfectly with my style. I have been attempting to get my hands on it for some time now. I really miss it. This is truly a unique aroma, extremely individual, and most likely not everybody's scent, except for those whom it suits, it is simply great. Magnificent creation from Dior!!by Anna
Date Added: 04/12/2012Wearing Diorama you have the impression of wearing Diorella (the citrus opening notes), Dior Dior (the exploding of flowers and honeysuckle coming from behind), Diorling (the powder and leather notes). The fruits is the new note, the innovation in this wonderful scent from the range of the other Dior's masterpieces I have listed here. Among the whole of Dior's range this is certainly the best creation in my opinion, it sums up what Dior used to be, what elegance was, what a classy woman anchored to the past but with her eyes to the future should wear. Incredible scent, just in between past and future, perfect if you love the vintage feel and the modern trend. Unbelievable.by Kulia
Date Added: 04/12/2012Diorama has Roudnistka's signature all over it! To my nose it smells VERY much like his Le Parfum De Therese (Frederic Malle label) and also bears genetic resemblance to Diorella. What sets Diorama apart, at least to my nose, is the noticeable addition of cumin/coumarin. This makes Diorama wearable by both men and women, moreso than the previously mentioned Roudnistka frags.

Expiration Date:?09/2019Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Meet Our Lemon Ginger Blend
Our Lemon Ginger tea is a lively and refreshing blend based on a traditional formula that supports digestion and can help ease minor stomach upset. We use Organic Ginger, used for centuries by Ayurvedic practitioners to support digestion and warm the metabolism. The sourness of Lemon provides the perfect counterpoint to the piquant-sweet taste of Ginger. Licorice and Peppermint add sophisticated nuance to the formula. Enjoy a cup of Lemon Ginger tea when your tummy needs a little taming or when you simply want a delicious, lively herbal tea.
Yogi Principles
~ Tasting great is essential, but it isn't enough. If what we make doesn't taste great and leave you feeling great, we won't make it.
~ We think before we blend. How will our recipes work with body and mind?
~ Health is found in nature. We work with what nature already offers rather than trying to concoct it. We don't have laboratories. We have kitchens.
~ Creative combinations can optimize what nature has to offer. Ever added peppermint to ginger? They work together to produce a remarkably fresh and innovative taste... and a remarkably invigorating experience.
~ Whenever possible, we work with wholes, not parts. We blend with whole spices and botanicals for their natural goodness - we don't supplement with vitamins and minerals.
Suggested Use
Get The Most Out of Every Cup
Bring water to boiling and steep 5 to 10 minutes. For a stronger tea, use 2 tea bags. To support digestion, drink a cup with your meal, and repeat 15 to 20 minutes afterward.
Other Ingredients
Natural lemon flavor, natural licorice flavor, citric acid.
Consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication or if you have a medical condition.

If you want more spicy taste, you can dip the tea bag for a longer while. Ginger is best taken in the morning. When you need to go to work and do not have the time to prepare ginger drink, this product is the best to suit your need.

I've been collaborating with Orange lapidary club members who wanted to make a video story about one of their own stars – champion lapidary artist Kathy Selwood
ABC Open contributors Juanita Willoughby and Warwick Boyce have been learning some skills in creating a short film, getting behind the camera and lighting to highlight Kathy's passion for lapidary.
Kathy started her hobby by carving pieces of soap at the age of six. Over the years her hobby turned into a passion and she has been a dedicated member of the Orange Lapidary Club for the last 25 years.
Kathy says patience is one of the most important attributes for somebody practicing her craft. After watching the club members polishing and carving creations in their community workshop, I began to understand how much time it takes to turn a rough rock into a smooth piece of jewelry.
Her passion for the craft was evident when she displayed her finest creations on a large dining table - there were so many pieces that we had trouble fitting them all into a wide-angled shot.
She's won quite a few awards for her lapidary achievements. So we even made a short time-lapse of all her trophies and medals being placed on a coffee table.
Watch the video story about Kathy and leave a comment for Juanita and Warrick underneath it.
Do you know somebody with a healthy obsession for their hobby? If you do, then you can learn how to make a video about them and highlight them in the My Crazy Passion project.

Get More: Atmosphere, Music, More Music Videos
Atmosphere's most recent album, The Family Sign, is definitely their most mature album to date. Slug and Ant embrace their roles as elder statesmen in the indie hip-hop game and craft a very thorough album full of real life ish. One of the major topics touched upon is the all too common issue of domestic abuse. "Nearly three out of four of Americans personally know someone who has been a victim of domestic violence. On average more than three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners in this country everyday. A refreshing departure from the typical rap video, "The Last To Say" advocates positive treatment of women and focuses on the struggle many victims face – how to escape the abuse in their home so it doesn't continue to be passed down." Video directed by Isaac Ravishankara. The Family Sign is in stores now.

Hi we went in june 2011 we booked through newmans holiday homes caravan was lovely couldn't of asked for better place to stay in. We are going in june again this year through newmans in a different caravan like to b closer to main attractions. After reading some reviews on internet about the park we were a little worried but i can honestly say we had nothing to worry about no complaints it wasn't that busy so park had no reason to be untidy. The food was nice we ate out alot my kids really loved the place. The indoor swimming pool was cold due to a problem they had we were informed before we went to get changed. We went out of park on 2days of the stay to a theme park and zoo kids cant wait to go again this year. Ive been to a few parks the worsed ive been to is butlins minehead me and my partner woke up with beetles in our hair we didnt stay we left straight away my point is haven is like a top hotel compared to some other parks having good accomendation helps you enjoy the place more so much for kids to do you want them to enjoy it not worrying that at end of day uve got to come back to a horrible dirty caravan.

In the past one year, Maruti Suzuki has already updated some of its hottest selling models like the Alto, Swift, Swift DZire and brought in two completely new models in the form of the S-Cross and the Baleno. While some of these have surely helped change the perception of the brand in the Indian market, the big one is yet to come. Maruti Suzuki's answer to the compact SUV segment – the Vitara.
First unveiled at the Paris Motor Show earlier this year, spy shots of the test mule have already been making their rounds on the internet. Up front, the Vitara gets a twin-slat chrome grille in sync with the current design language of Maruti Suzuki. The Land Rover inspired leading into the front grille bonnet looks neat. Flanked on either side of the grille are those horizontally stacked headlights with vertically placed fog lamps on the bumper. Being an SUV, the Vitara also gets skid plates up front. In profile, the Vitara gets gun metal finished alloys and blackened out pillars.
On the inside, the Vitara gets the trademark Maruti Suzuki steering wheel with mounted controls for the infotainment system and Bluetooth telephony. The clocks too are similar to what we have already seen on the Swift. The dashboard is washed in black with a bold strip of orange to make it look sporty. In terms of features it gets a large touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, keyless go, button start and more.
In the international market, the Vitara comes with a 1.6-litre gasoline and diesel unit, both churning out power of 120 horses. The torque figures however stand at 156Nm and 320Nm respectively. After the S-Cross, this is the second Maruti Suzuki model to sport the 1.6-litre oil burner.
The Maruti Suziki Vitara will be the third model to be sold via the Nexa dealerships after the S-Cross and the Baleno. When launched, the Vitara will go against the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster and the Nissan Terrano but will be priced just slightly higher than them.
The 2013 model year Suzuki Grand Vitara features styling changes, new seat fabric, new infotainment system and an improved 1.9-litre DDiS diesel motor in the UK market

As The Portland Press Herald's resident indie film guy, I always meant to do a story on the Maine Studios.
A small, scrappy local film studio featuring 43,000 square feet of soundstages, production facilities and offices, and blue- and green-screen capability, all devoted to Maine feature film, theater and TV production? Of course I'm going to do a story about it.
Except I waited too long.
The Maine Studios, which opened last year in a long-vacant liquor warehouse on Presumpscot Street in Portland, has shut down — for now, at least, as studio executive and chairman John Seymore explained.
The Maine Studios came about when Seymore was scouting locations for a film project and lit upon the idea of using the cavernous former Nappi warehouse. When he approached owner Frank Nappi Jr. about filming in the space, he was surprised when Nappi made a counter-proposal — he would turn the warehouse into a film studio.
Nappi and his associate Tom Dunham, said Seymore, "were just really interested in the film industry especially in developing Maine filmmaking."
When Seymore explained that money was an issue, Nappi offered "ridiculously low rent" for the first year. "Basically," says Seymore, "he made us an offer we couldn't refuse."
Over the Maine Studio's first year, more than 40 local productions made use of the facilities and, just as important, local filmmakers started connecting with each other there.
"The Studio encourages collaboration, and improving your craft it's exciting to see so many people in the state making films, but the only way to grow is to not be insular, to work together," Seymore said.
But the time came when the Maine Studios had to pay the piper. Seymore knew that the only way to keep the venue afloat was to attract a major production.
It didn't (the rejection of a bill offering tax incentives for filming in Maine didn't help), and while he harbors no ill will toward the building owners (he describes their generosity as "ridiculous"), the Maine Studios doors were shut. The studio's equipment has been moved to a less spacious private residence.
Still, Seymore says, "I'm really excited about the state of filmmaking in Maine. It was a great learning experience, and we're already looking at some new spaces."
Putting his philosophy into practice, Seymour is currently shooting a new film ("at my house") involving "a collaboration of four or five different production groups."
In addition, a short horror film he wrote, "She Feast," just won the Killer Film Challenge (www.killerfilmfest.com) and screened in town at Geno's last week.
And Seymore hints at some tantalizing possibilities involving an indie film shooting in Kennebunk "with a major Hollywood star."
The Maine Studios, wherever it ends up, is alive.

text: I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when I was 15 years old, although I have experienced symptoms since I was five. I had never heard of Crohn's before I was diagnosed, but now I educate people around me every chance I get. I am currently a freshman at California Baptist University, studying in Health Sciences in hopes of becoming a Gastroerontological Physician's Assistant. This summer, I also hope to become a camp counselor at Camp Oasis. I am a follower of Christ, and I view Crohn's as an opportunity to be thankful for everything that I have. I was given a view of life that takes nothing for granted, especially those days that I feel well, and every success I have is that much more important to me. However, I do not face each day worried that my life will over in the next day. I can live a long and happy life.

Things To Do In Dallas Tonight: May 22
Morrissey spends his birthday at the Majestic; Truck Yard hosts a happy hour.
This is going to be a special edition of Things To Do, as it's Morrissey's birthday, and he's actually in town tonight. I'm hoping the crowd at the Majestic can rise to the occasion of making the British equivalent of Sinatra feel like he's in the right city on such a complicated day. Birthdays can bring many mixed emotions, and who knows that better than Morrissey?
I admit to being a pretty serious fan, something I've made clear over on FrontRow over the years, so I'll do my best to maintain professional composure. Here are the facts: The singer has a new album due in July, the hilariously titled World Peace is None of Your Business. What a mouthful. The album will feature such obvious odes to joy as "I'm Not a Man," "The Bullfighter Dies," and "Earth is the Loneliest Planet." Elvis Costello once remarked that "Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song." But then again, Morrissey never had to piggyback on far more successful songwriters like Burt Bacharach or Paul McCartney the way Costello did, so that settles that.
He is now an accomplished author, as his memoir broke first-week sales records for the form, never mind that it was censored in the US market. How embarrassing. So, don't embarrass me tonight, Dallas. Show up promptly, don't heckle, and be kind. I'll see you there. Happy Birthday, Morrissey.
Online media chain Thrillist recently claimed to have awarded Lower Greenville's ever-popular Truck Yard the "Oscar of Bar Awards," by designating it as one of the nation's best drinking establishments. Whatever weight this honor truly carries, you the consumer are the victor, as the Truck Yard is hosting a free happy hour, from 4 to 9 pm this evening. Space is limited, so you'll have to RSVP by going here.
Finally, the Texas Theatre is hosting a screening for the Dallas chapter of Architecture for Humanity tonight. The film this evening will be If You Build It, which focuses on two progressive designers attempting to help impoverished students in rural North Carolina out of their dire situation by way of architecture, construction, and design. Some of the proceeds from the event will go toward benefiting the altruistic architecture organization and you can find more info here, and RSVP information here.
For more to do tonight, go here.

To our beautiful readers,
Here is the first video in our four-part series. It follows Kathe Schaaf, co-founder of Women of Spirit and Faith, board member of the Council of the Parliament of the World's Religions, mentor to dozens of women and inspiration to many more.
Raised in the Lutheran church, Kathe now considers herself a woman of spirit. Her primary spiritual practice – the circle – allows her to honor the wisdom of the Earth as well as her own divine guidance.
In this film Kathe discusses her practice of gathering with other women. She ties it to the growing global movement of feminine energy, and to a shift in the ways we use words such as "power" "leader" and "faith". These are words that no longer refer to "us versus them" but are used in the context of "we" and "us all".
Says Kathe: "Everyone is equal in a circle. Everyone is an expert. Everyone is a leader."

(heads up adam and other men, you'll probably want to stop reading right about now.)
have you ever worn more than one tampon at once, by accident? let me tell you, that was one of the most horrific and mortifying moments of my life. some sleepy morning i put another one in without (apparently) taking the other one out. and then when i went to check on things later they BOTH came out. cringe, yell, cry, eww.
i feel slightly better about this based on one of blogher's community keynotes, Stuck in the Middle with You by Knotty Yarn. but, not that much better. cheers.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Those longing for a white Christmas may have to leave St. Louis next weekend to find one.
Meteorologist Mark Britt with the National Weather Service office in Weldon Spring says its unlikely there will be any snow here on December 25th.
But, he says it hasn't been too long since we did, "The most-recent white Christmas was last year. On that day we saw three-tenths of an inch snowfall and had three inches on the ground."
Britt says it's about a "once every four years" occurrence in St. Louis.
Where should you go to find a white Christmas in 2011? Britt says, "Certainly if you go to the Rockies or up north around the Great Lakes–there is snow on the ground currently around northern Illinois and up into Wisconsin and Michigan."
The National Weather Service's St. Louis office has a local Christmas Climatology page on its website. Click here to see it.

UGODOG Indoor Dog Litter Tray

DescriptionHouse training your dog can be a messy business. Little surprises waiting for you when you wake in the morning or having to pick up wet or soiled newspaper (when they hit the target!) and then dispose of it. UGODOG is made from high quality, sturdy plastic and is an innovative and environmentally friendly indoor dog potty and house training system. It will not only keep your dog's paws dry, but will keep your house dry, just the way you and your pet prefer it! It provides all of the benefits of a dog litter box without any of the mess.
It is designed to make clean-up simple, easy and mess-free without burdening the environment. It has a solid base that will support any dog, regardless of breed or size. There are two removable fitted grates on the top. The square openings of the grates are specifically sized so that even the smallest dogs and puppies do not get their paws trapped. The grates allow for your pet's paws to remain dry as the urine passes through the cubed openings and on to the base below where the dog pee pad absorbs the urine and odour, or you could use newspaper if you prefer to.
The grates also allow any pooh to settle on top making clean-up easy and mess-free. Simply lift the grate with the pooh on it and drop the pooh in a recycled waste bag and throw away. UGODOG uses two smaller grates rather than one large one to make cleanup of the grates easier and more convenient. Simply wipe off with a wet paper towel every evening.
Although UGODOG is an indoor dog litter tray, it is certainly not meant to be a replacement for dog walking. Instead, UGODOG can be used in addition to your dog's bathroom trips, or to train a puppy.
Dimensions: approx. L67 x W47.5 x H2.5cm
Customer Note: This product does not come with absorbent pads.

Very useful accessory posted on 23/11/2016 by Carmelo
The product arrived perfectly packaged and quickly! Quite functional, is made with good materials. The size becomes limited for large dogs. Thanks to the precious instructions was easy to educate our dog using Ugodog and now we could never do without it.

GOOD DESIGN IDEA posted on 06/06/2014 by Mrsme
Better than the usual puppy training pad holders I didnt reuse the included washable pads that came with product very very thin I use it with a regular disposable puppy pad that are thicker and more absorbent x28eBay box of 100 large for 30x29 It does stop the wee from being walked over onto your carpet And poo is easy enough to pick up off the top of the grids Its quick to clean and replace pads I would recommend this product over the normal puppy pad holders

We bought this for our 13mth old pup along with the puppy training spray Went on it immediately After a week 95 of pees indoors are on the mat the little scamp goes out in garden for 30mins and often goes on this the minute he comes back in Had newspaper around it to start with which confused him a bit now put 1 small bit on top and remainder underneath Would def recommend if using in conjunction with treats for performing even when we are out he will use it

Whats the matter with these people?
Jump-Mix Style!! I personally love this type of House and can never make it myself (of course). The beginning was really good and pulled me right into the song. The song its self was perfectly arranged in every way. The ending however was a little like "where did it go?" I can understande that you wanted to cut it off right there and that is perfectly ok, n=but I would just suggest adding just a little 1 bar (or less) of bass jump notes (just like in the rest of the song) to end it right after the fade out. The drums also were kinda empty in the sense that "maybe" there should have been 1 or 2 more, but it didn't bother me to much.
Still can't get enough though! Amazing song!!!

Although deep brain stimulation is generally safe, any type of surgery has the risk of complications. Also, the brain stimulation itself may cause side effects.
Deep brain stimulation involves creating small holes in the skull to implant the electrodes, and surgery to implant the device that contains the batteries under the skin in the chest. Complications of surgery may include:
Side effects associated with deep brain stimulation may include:
A few weeks after the surgery, the device will be turned on and the process of finding the best settings for you begins. Some settings may cause side effects, but these often improve with further adjustments of your device.

OK. It's time for me to put my $.02, (allowing for inflation) in on the proposed police station move. If it's deemed necessary by the powers that be, then so be it.
Are you ready. Here comes the caveat. But, instead of moving it to a building that has the potential to be a stepping stone for a future industry, why not use an existing building that has no potential for a business of the industrial nature that is being offered to the city for FREE?
"Gee Russ, what building are you talking about?" Well here's a hint. It is located along Sims Highway. It has a garage to park a patrol car. It has enough room for storage of documents and lost and found property. Along with enough room for interrogation. In fact enough room for temporary holding cells or to move the entire city government under one roof. Plenty of parking. A big enough room to hold the elections in or large city council meetings in during times of "hot button" topics. More than likely already wired for multiple phone lines and intercom. Also a loading dock for the recycling.
Give up? Uh, the old Morenci Hospital. If you guessed it give yourself an "atta boy." Yes, it would probably require modifications to the bathrooms to make them more accessible. Yes, some division of the building would be needed for different departments. But the building is being offered for FREE.
If the city moved all of the offices under one roof then the sharing of responsibilities between city hall and the police department could continue. Kevin could have enough room to have an office along with room for paperwork that comes with his job.
"But golly, moving all of the city government along with modifying the inside of the building would cost money. Where's that going to come from genius?" Um, by selling the existing buildings. The way I understand it there has been interest in the purchase in both the recycling center building and the police garage. Well, that only leaves the police station and city hall. Who knows, maybe someone could use those to start up the town's very own internet service provider.....or a telephone company like Sand Creek.

(Movie Review by Richard Lewis) I sat down in the theater with a big smile on my face. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I had managed to somehow find a seat up front in a sold out show. Frankly, I think it's just because I actually like superhero movies. I normally give these films the benefit of the doubt and judge them on their own merits, based on how well the film accomplishes what it sets out to do. In the case of "Ghost Rider", the film started out well enough, and the set-up is good — a tale of young love gone awry, a deal made with the devil, loss, lost loved ones, lost love, lost soul, and a chance for redemption. All very dramatic, eternal themes.
In a desperate attempt to save the life of his cancer-stricken father, young stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) makes a deal with the devil. Except in this case, the devil's name is Mephistopheles, who is well played by Peter Fonda. Although in a movie about a (literal) hell-on-wheels biker, I am surprised the filmmakers missed the opportunity to put Fonda, the former star of "Easy Rider", on Blaze's chopper at least once. It would have been a nice touch for Fonda to maybe drive the bike up and turn the keys over to the new rider.
Another veteran actor who comes across very well, and steals all the scenes he is in, is Sam Elliott, who plays the mysterious Caretaker. This is the stereotypical wise one who understands the hero's dilemma and can explain to him (and us) everything that is going on. Elliot is no stranger to superhero movies. He played the menacing General Ross in director Ang Lee's "Hulk" a few years ago. With Elliot's trademark southern drawl and smiling steely eyes, the clich' works pretty well here. (By the way, if you want to see a film that really showcases Sam Elliot's talent, I strongly recommend you go out right away and rent 2003's "Off the Map". In this far superior work, Eliot delivers one of the most intensely subtle and affecting performances I have ever seen on film, as a father who overcomes a crippling depression.)
The lead role of Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider is played effectively by Nicolas Cage, although his alter ego owes as much to the CG artists as to Cage's skills as an actor. In fact, the animators used an actual x-ray of the actor's skull, while computer programmers wrote brand new code for his flaming cranium. Cage, who is a confessed comic book fan, is likable as Blaze, although something is lost when he transforms into Ghost Rider. (He was originally considered for the lead role in the recent "Superman Returns", by the way. The actor has said that he opted for the less iconic but darker role of Ghost Rider.) Once Cage "flames on," instead of being frightened by his laughing skull, I found I was also laughing, not with Ghost Rider, but at him. He just looks too darn silly to believe.
Eva Mendes is TV reporter Roxanne Simpson, the movie's love interest. Although not credible at all as a news reporter, Mendes is quite likable as the girl (we all wish lived) next door. Mendes shows enough cleavage in every scene to keep any male over 14 interested until the credits roll. And she does have genuine chemistry with Cage, who nearly devours her face in one of their kissing scenes. (*Sidebar: chewing scenery aside, Mendes apparently has a problem with biting her nails. In many of the film's close-up scenes, her lovely, long fingers appear barely tipped by nubs gnawed to the quick)
The biggest disappointment of all comes from the performance of Wes Bentley as the villainous Blackheart, the film's main antagonist. Blaze is forced by Mephistopheles to battle Blackheart (Mephistopheles' devilish son) and Blackheart's posse of wicked fallen angels previously kicked out of heaven by none other than Saint Michael the Archangel. Blackheart, it seems, is "hell-bent" to take over the satanic family business against the wishes of dear old dad. Bentley won critical acclaim and numerous awards for his performance as teenager Ricky Fitts in the Best Picture of 1999, "American Beauty." A fine actor, Bentley was dark and chilling as Fitts, but in "Ghost Rider", he falls flat. The actor is too weighed down by excessive make-up, over-the-top effects, and corny dialogue for his performance to come through. It is a shame because I really expected Bentley to steal the show.
Writer/director Mark Steven Johnson does a competent job of directing "Ghost Rider", although his script leaves a lot to be desired. He telegraphs the ending of how Ghost Rider will eventually overcome Blackheart so much so that even a child will see it coming a mile away. Johnson has written other superhero flicks, 2003's "Daredevil" for example, which also suffered from silly dialogue. The director's most effective accomplishment is the love story between Roxanne Simpson and Johnny Blaze, and I enjoyed that much more than the battle between Blackheart and Ghost Rider.
Who knows, maybe some day Eva Mendes and Nicolas Cage will team up for a romantic comedy, hopefully one that will not involve anyone's head bursting into flames.

Windows on the road: Microsoft Auto becoming entertainment platform for more cars
Microsoft Corp. plans to announce another deal with a major automaker to use its Microsoft Auto operating system by the end of the year. The global software giant already has two deals worldwide, including one to power Ford's popular Sync wireless hands-free communication and entertainment system.
DETROIT– Microsoft Corp . plans to announce another deal with a major automaker to use its Microsoft Auto operating system by the end of the year, Martin Thall, general manager of Microsoft's automotive business unit, told the Detroit Free Press during a Tuesday meeting in Detroit.
The global software giant already has two deals worldwide.
One, in the United States, is with Ford Motor Co ., which last year used the operating system to launch Sync, a wireless hands-free communication and entertainment system. The other, which predated Ford, is with the Italian automaker Fiat SpA, which resulted in the launch of Blue&Me in 2006.
However, the exclusive rights to Microsoft Auto in the United States end later this year—opening the door for full-scale competition in the growing area of fully integrated in-car computer systems, which can assist in communications, entertainment and a variety of other functions, such as diagnostics and safety.
General Motors Corp . has offered some of these functions through its subscription-based OnStar feature for years. But Ford's Sync, which is sold for a one time price of $395, upped the ante.
While Thall praised Ford for being a pioneer in adopting its technology aggressively, he said Microsoft also wants to satisfy all the other automakers interested in its products.
"Demand exceeds our ability to please everyone," Thall said.
Other automakers, he said, are interested in catching up to Ford. Last year, more than 30,000 customers opted for Sync, making it one of the fastest-growing new products in the industry.
Sync is now offered in 12 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, and Ford plans to expand the technology to nearly all of its vehicles by the end of the year in hopes of putting its products on the consideration list for many consumers.
Microsoft has an ambitious plan to roll out its operating system and other products in the United States and globally.
Through automakers such as Ford and Fiat , as well as key suppliers such as Magneti Marelli , Siemens VDO and Alpine , Microsoft is hoping to help automakers meet their customers' needs in various parts of the market.
In the near-term, Thall said Microsoft will be focused on integrating various functions, such as navigation systems, traffic reports, and point-of-interest directories, among other items.
Fiat, for example, will soon be rolling out an enhancement to its Blue&Me system called Ecodrive, which gives drivers feedback about their driving to help them lessen their impact on the environment. Longer term, though, Thall sees Microsoft bringing more value to the lives of drivers as it strengthens its position online. That includes, he said, the ability to bring more relevant advertising to drivers, based on their location.
Thall, who drives a Cadillac Escalade with OnStar, said Microsoft wants to develop solutions that are relevant and accessible for everyday drivers. Ultimately, he said, Microsoft wants to become an "integral part of the vehicle."

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

WORCESTER (CBS) – A woman hit by an SUV at her Worcester home Thursday night has died, police said.
John Pappas was going to check on his neighbor, 83 year old Rosemary Turner Thursday night to see how she was doing. He dropped in on her at least twice a week to help her out.
WBZ-TV's Karen Anderson reports
He had just knocked and Rosemary was opening the door, when he heard a harrowing sound. An SUV was flying through the air towards him. It careened over an island, across four lanes of traffic, through Rosemary's hard and through her front door.
John jumped out of the way, but couldn't help Rosemary. He landed on the grass, his leg throbbing. "I was just thinking my gosh, she's in there. It's right where she was standing."
He was stunned when emergency crews arrived to see Rosemary Turner wheeled out on stretcher. She was calling his name. "I said you're okay I'll see you at the hospital."
Turner, who was pinned under the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder for 45 minutes, was in critical condition when she was taken to UMass Medical Center, but she passed away later in the night.
The driver, Hari Dhakal, says she tried to stop, but believes his brakes failed. "There was something wrong with the break. I jammed the break. And the car didn't stop." He says he does not believe he was pressing the gas pedal instead of the break. Dhakal, who is getting his master's degree, is a husband and father of two. He says he was driving to pick up his wife at the time, and drives down that road every day. He spoke about the crash, obviously upset as he walked away.
Police said alcohol was not involved in the crash, but speed may have played a factor.Officers returned to the scene to collect more evidence. They will also get a warrant to inspect the SUV's black box, which contains information about braking, speed and acceleration. That is expected to take several weeks.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – After going unbeaten away from home in the month of July, the New England Revolution returns to the road this weekend as the club prepares to visit the Columbus Crew on Saturday, Aug. 13 at Crew Stadium.
Kickoff between the Revs (4-10-9, 21 pts.) and conference-leading Crew (9-7-7, 34 pts.) is set for 7:30 p.m. and the match will televised live in high definition on Comcast SportsNet New England, while the radio call will be available on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Current Form: Both sides aiming to rebound from streak-busting losses
The Revs saw their modest three-game unbeaten run come to an end last weekend at Gillette Stadium, as Alejandro Moreno sandwiched a pair of goals around a Nick LaBrocca strike to lift Chivas USA to a 3-2 victory.
Despite the loss, there were promising developments for the Revolution, which debuted both 22-year-old Designated Player Milton Caraglio and 16-year-old Home Grown Player Diego Fagundez. While Caraglio was the early storyline, Fagundez stole the show in a 24-minute substitute performance, drawing a penalty kick – which was converted by Shalrie Joseph – and scoring a goal himself to cap a memorable debut.
The loss dropped the Revolution's home record to 3-4-4 on the season, although the club has altered its fortunes away from home in recent weeks. After starting the campaign winless (0-6-2) in their first eight road games, the Revs are unbeaten (1-0-3) in their last four trips away from Gillette Stadium.
Columbus had won back-to-back games before suffering a 2-0 loss to the Colorado Rapids last Friday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Even with the loss, the Crew remains on top of the Eastern Conference standings, one point ahead of the Philadelphia Union.
Key to Columbus' success this season has been the club's home form, as the Crew has one of Major League Soccer's best home records at 6-1-4.
Past Meetings: Revs and Crew set to battle for first time in 2011[inline_node:437176]
Entering this weekend, the Crew is the only MLS club which the Revolution hasn't faced yet in 2011. The teams will meet again in the Revolution's regular-season home finale on Oct. 15 at Gillette Stadium.
While the Revs and Crew haven't met in the 2011 regular season, the clubs did square off in a pair of preseason matches back in March. New England claimed a 2-1 win over Columbus in the first meeting on March 6 in Chattanooga, Tenn., while the Crew gained a measure of revenge with a 3-1 win just three days later in Kennesaw, Ga.
The Revs have won just once (1-4-1) in their past six league meetings with the Crew, although that victory did come at Crew Stadium to clinch a playoff spot in the final game of the 2009 season.
Injury Report: Lekic expected to miss 2-4 weeks; Crew banged up entering this weekend
While the Revs have brought in one forward in Caraglio, they've temporarily lost another as Danish striker Rajko Lekic is expected to miss 2-4 weeks while recovering from a fractured big toe on his right foot. Lekic started 17 straight games before missing last weekend's loss to Chivas USA with the injury.
Also missing for New England will be central defender Franco Coria (L MCL sprain) and forward Kheli Dube (whiplash).
Columbus currently boasts one of MLS' longest injury lists, with 10 players on its most recent report. Most notable amongst the injured for the Crew is midfielder Eddie Gaven, who has started all 23 games for Columbus this season but is expected to miss his first action this weekend with a right leg injury.
Midfielder Tony Tchani (R knee inflammation) and defender Shaun Francis (L adductor strain) are also out for Columbus, while defender Rich Balchan (L adductor strain) is doubtful and forwards Jeff Cunningham (R knee inflammation) and Emilio Renteria (L quad strain) are questionable.
Although not listed on the most recent injury report, midfielder Robbie Rogers mentioned on his Twitter account that he picked up an ankle injury while on duty with the U.S. National Team in a midweek friendly against Mexico.
Key Player: Revolution central defender A.J. Soares
A.J. Soares' absence on the Revolution's backline was noticeable in last weekend's loss to Chivas USA, as the Revs conceded three sloppy goals despite controlling the run of play. The rookie defender will return to the lineup this weekend in Columbus after serving his one-game suspension and looks set to partner either Darrius Barnes or Ryan Cochrane in central defense.
"A.J.'s been a bit of a mainstay on the backline and for good reason," said head coach Steve Nicol. "He's always been the one guy who's been there constant. So it's important that he's playing again. It's his first season and the more he's playing, the more experience he's getting and the better he's getting. So hopefully that continues."
Final Thoughts: Revs expecting battle with "solid" Crew side
While the Crew hasn't gone on any blistering runs through the 2011 season, Robert Warzycha's side has steadily climbed its way to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. It's that measured, consistent approach which the Revs expect to see from their opponents on Saturday night.
"The thing about Columbus I've learned over the years is they're really a steady team," said Cochrane. "They're consistent. I don't think – if I remember correctly – that they go on super hot runs, but they also don't get in these kind of slumps throughout the season. They're a steady team with consistent play so we expect a good game from them."
"They're real solid," added Nicol. "They've got a wee bit of everything. They've got a wee bit of pace. They've certainly got strength, plenty of strength. They're a big team. They don't make an awful lot of mistakes, and if you do make them, then they've got players capable of punishing you. So we have to be really solid and make sure we don't give too much away."

Return date still uncertain for closer Santos
Return date still uncertain for closer Santos
Toronto's closer has been out since April 21 because of inflammation in the affected area. He was tentatively projected to miss three to four weeks, but more than a month later and there is still no timetable for his return.
Santos has yet to throw off a mound. Although the club is optimistic that will happen by the end of the week, it's far from guaranteed.
"I think every time we've given you a time frame it has ended up being a little bit longer," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "I'd like to think he can get to that distance by the mid to latter part of this coming week.
"He has been out to 120 feet on flat-ground long toss with some aggressiveness. The kind of the earmark, or the threshold, with the flat-ground work is when he gets out to 150 to 175 feet and he passes that with no issues then the mound is the next step."
Santos, who is on the 15-day disabled list, has two saves in four opportunities this season. He was acquired from the White Sox during the offseason for prospect Nestor Molina but has yet to find his groove in Toronto.
Santos, 28, will eventually need to throw at least four to five bullpen sessions before going on an extended rehab assignment. In many ways, it's like starting Spring Training all over again, and as a result, he will not be back with the big league club anytime soon.
"Where the soreness is generated when he starts to get more aggressive, he'll feel a little bit in that same area," Farrell said. "We're taking baby steps to get past that pinpoint of the spot where he has felt it in the back of his shoulder."
