Malmesbury most interesting place in Wiltshire
FEW places in England and none in Wiltshire possess such a wealth of interest, historic, ecclesiastical and architectural as Malmesbury. Kings, saints and scholars have conferred upon it undying fame. And although much of its outward glory has departed it is still beautiful in its calm decay with a peaceful beauty that mediaeval destroyer and modern restorer have alike failed entirely to obliterate.

The Siddington Glass in Cirencester Church
HAVING recently visited the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, a paradise to ecclesiologists, it perhaps may be permitted to me, a complete outsider, but a general lover of ancient churches and an opponent of the transference of their contents, to offer a few remarks on the revival of a long-standing dispute between the great and noble church of Cirencester, and its much humbler, but ancient and interesting neighbour in the village of Siddington. The following, I believe, is a correct summary of facts relative to the stripping of Siddington of some of its most valuable adjuncts in favour of the far greater and richer fabric.

THE Bull Inn, situated next to the Standard's offices in Dyer Street, Cirencester, relocated to a site further down Dyer Street sometime after 1800.

An advertisement appeared in the Standard in July 1866 which read "To pleasure parties etc, a large and convenient tent capable of dining 150 persons may be obtained for picnic and other parties at a reasonable charge. Apply to Mr Blackford, The Bull Inn." In June 1870 another advertisement was for a general servant 'one who understands cooking' .

Roof top rescue at Cirencester, November 1952
ENTERTAINING as the civil defence incident in Cirencester Market Place on Saturday afternoon may have been, its object was of course far more than that of providing entertainment for Saturday afternoon shoppers. Rather it was to provide a demonstration of equipment ready for use in any future emergency to impress upon the people the part Civil Defence would play in any future war and the urgent training in the various branches of the corps.

Standard archives tell of Cirencester's coronation celebrations
A SUCCESSION of brief but heavy storms, followed at night by a steady downpour from about 9 o'clock onwards and a far from June-like cold wind accompanied the celebrations of Her Majesty's Coronation in Cirencester and district. But it would have taken more than unfriendly elements to dampen the ardour of those who, in town and village, had been preparing for the day in a thousand different ways.

Reviews for Moist Chocolate Cake
Sort By :
"ABSOLUTELY DELCIOUS! And so easy to make! I just made it this afternoon with my kids, and it is a HUGE hit. I used the "Vanilla Frosting Recipe" from TOH because I needed something simple for the kids to help me with. Thank you so much for sharing!"
"This cake is amazing! You really must try it. Do use the coffee as well. It doesn't taste like coffee. I made it with regular and decaf and preferred the decaf cake. My husband and our 3 boys also loved the flavor. This cake is very moist. I won't ever buy another box cake again. Now...the frosting...not very good. It tasted waxy and like shortening. It turned out just as stated but doesn't compare to buttercream. I used this frosting recipe the first time I made the cake and was disappointed in it. The second time I made it and used a vanilla meringue buttercream and it was perfect. Thank you for the wonderful cake recipe!"
"I was very nervous about baking a chocolate cake, I have had my share of to dry....but not this one. It was WONDERFUL. The only adjustment I used just a little more then a quarter cup of coco powder. The color was just right, Will bake again very very soon!!!"
"Made this cake today and it was delicious, nice and chocolaty. I used 8 inch round pans and baked at 325 degrees but had to bake for 45 minutes not 25 minutes as stated in the recipe. Will definitely make this again"
"Made this recipe this weekend for my mother-in-law's birthday - it was so moist and tasty! Everyone loved it, and asked for more. I used cream cheese icing and it was just the right amount of sweet. You definitely CANNOT taste the coffee in it. Just chocolate, yummy chocolate!!"

Renault shows DCross Concept in Brazil
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Oct 23rd, 2012 at 3:32PM
The São Paulo Motor Show continues to heat up and bring us interesting new vehicle unveilings. Next year, we may have to tough it out and trek down to Brazil for the 28th edition of the auto show. The most recent development from São Paulo is the Renault DCross concept. In what appears to be a gussied-up Dacia Duster, the DCross gets a bright green and matte black paint scheme, a raised ride height, roof racks and a spare tire atop the concept. If off-roading is your thing, the DCross, at the very least, looks the part. Little else is given in details other than what we can... Read More

Jesus Waits for Us to Hear His Voice
The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
-Psalm 29:4, emphasis added
In Psalm 29 we hear His voice in the earth, and it is calling us to worship Him! In that psalm, the Lord reveals five elements of His eternal greatness that we are to reverence as we hear Him.
Hear the powerful and majestic voice of the Lord:
1. Through thunder God is declaring His ownership: O you mighty ones, Give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 29:1-2). We cannot make the sky thunder; neither can we make it stop thundering. God owns and controls the physical universe.
2. Through thunder God is declaring His majesty: The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters (Psalm 29:3). I can easily envision David high on a hillside overlooking one of those massive storms that blows in from the Mediterranean Sea. As the anvil-shaped thundercloud begins to rise, he knows he has to comfort his sheep, and get them safely into the fold before they become frightened and scatter. As he is out there with nowhere else to go, he soon hears the rumble in the distance come ever closer, and watches the frequent bolts of lightning. And then David listens in awe as the voice of the Lord thunders again and again-and he worships! If thunder is just the power of God's voice, imagine what kind of total power He has! One might even say that thunder is only the Lord "clearing His throat"!
3. Through thunder, God is declaring His power: The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars, Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire (Psalm 29:5-7). What manner of God is He that at the very sound of His voice the earth rumbles and shakes and quakes and burns before Him?
4. Through thunder God is declaring His worship: The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, and strips the forests bare; and in His temple everyone says, "Glory!" (Psalm 29:8-9).
Make a choice to live in hope:As we approach the end of days, I encourage you to find hope as you listen to the awesome voice of Christ, your Creator and Redeemer! Remember that the sound of the Lord as He shakes the earth is a call to reverence Him! So wholeheartedly join David in praise and worship as he says:
I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever.. . . Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. . . . All Your works shall praise You, O Lord. . . . They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power. . . . Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
-Psalm 145:1, 3, 10-11, 13

The shootout between Pete Ricketts and Jon Bruning for the GOP gubernatorial nomination turned into the signature race of the Nebraska Primary Tuesday. The candidates watched neck-and-neck numbers measure their campaigns all night long. Jon Bruning conceded shortly before 11:30 p.m.
An upbeat Ricketts spoke briefly with supporters shortly after 10 o'clock but the counting continued.
Bruning spoke with WOWT 6 News around 10:30 and remained hopeful. Less than a half percentage point separated the two contenders.
The lead slowly began to move in favor of Ricketts and shortly before 11:30 Jon Bruning took to the stage in front of supporters to step aside and pledge his support to Pete Ricketts.
Ricketts emerges as a heavy favorite in the November general election. The path for both candidates had turned rocky in recent weeks, with Bruning and former TD Ameritrade executive Ricketts sparring over their experience and accusing each other of running negative campaigns.
Both were seeking the governor's office after previous unsuccessful bids for U.S. Senate - Ricketts in the 2006 general election, and Bruning in the 2012 primary. Ricketts, whose previous Senate run was the most expensive in Nebraska history, raised less money this time around but still led the field with $3.7 million as of last month.
Bruning joined the race in February shortly after he was treated for colon cancer. He initially said he would seek re-election as attorney general, but has since run a competitive race, raising $2.1 million in campaign funds.
Republicans said once the nominee is chosen, the party will unite and work to extend its 15-year hold on the governor's office.
"We'll have had a hard-fought primary, but once it's over, it'll be time to focus on winning the general," said Bud Synhorst, executive director of the Nebraska Republican Party.
Despite minor differences over roads funding, prison reform and prenatal care for people in the United States illegally, the six GOP candidates march together on most issues. In addition to Bruning and Ricketts, the field included state Senators Beau McCoy of Omaha and Tom Carlson of Holdrege, Omaha tax attorney Bryan Slone and State Auditor Mike Foley of Lincoln.
Ricketts will face Democrat Chuck Hassebrook, a former University of Nebraska regent who led the Center for Rural Affairs. While the Republican race has drawn the most attention, Hassebrook has spent the last several months building a campaign network, fundraising and presenting himself to voters as a champion of rural Nebraska.
"For a Democrat, an open seat is clearly easier to win than a challenged race against an incumbent," said Paul Landow, a University of Nebraska at Omaha political science professor. "A win is always possible. But it's a long, uphill climb."
The latest turn in the GOP race came last week, when Governor Heineman endorsed Bruning in the primary. Heineman, the state's longest-serving governor and a popular Republican figure, said Bruning had the experience needed for the job. He also said he believed Bruning would focus on economic development and education.
Ricketts won endorsements from former Nebraska Governors Charles Thone and Kay Orr, as well as from national political figures embraced by the Tea Party. The list includes former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

Vantris Patterson is dead wrong ... the UFC does NOT transform athletes like Phil Davis into violent people outside of the octagon ... this according to UFC honcho Dana White.
White just called in to "TMZ Live" to take on the allegations Davis' baby mama made in her nasty custody battle with the UFC fighter -- that the sport has turned him into a monster.
"Phil Davis ... we've never had problems with this guy EVER," White said ... "He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met."
White says he has hundreds of guys who fight under the UFC banner -- and barely ANY of them have issues with violence after the bell rings.
His explanation -- "When you train, every day all day ... the last thing you wanna do is fight outside the octagon."
So why would Patterson make such outrageous allegations? White believes he's got the answer to that too ... check out the clip.
What's wrong with rough sex?
Hey Dana, how soon you forget about Quinton's "Rampage".....
I believe that most of these fighters just think of a scheduled fight as just another day at the office. However, some of these guys are just mean. As long as Dana makes sure they keep their private lives free from controversy that hurts the UFC image then there is no reason to believe they are any different from anybody else.
How does Dana know... Does he live with all the UFC fighters...
If his fighter's are violent outside the UFC, a good civil attorney, can handle them.
dana white is such a p**** head
He has a point I haven't heard of any UFC guys involved in any kind of violence outside the octagon.
UFC fighter are not violent people ou my husband been doing MMA we've met Dana White from USC we've been to many of the expose these letters are the moon
I wonder who's teeth he's using?
UFC Fighter are NOT violent people. My husband been an MMA fighter and trainer for almost 10 yrs. I met many Fighters. They are the most Gentle Giants you will ever meet. I had the opportunity to met Dana White at an EXPO .. He truly stands behind his fighters and does like to deal with Rude people or fighters.. I'm a short woman; I was standing in front of a stage and Fans started to trample over me, and a gentle man in a wheel chair. Dana saw what was going on told everyone to "STOP "and "Back up". He stood over me to make sure I was ok. Also Fighter stepped down to make sure everything was ok… Fighter are a bunch of great guys and gals..
Dana white does not put up with **** like violence outside the octagon... It took years and more work then any of us can comprehend to make the ufc a legit sport and have class like boxing and all it would take is some crazy ufc fighter killing a guy in a bar fight to ruin everything. You can't say all fighters are not crazy and animals but for the few that are they also know Dana would drop them and crush their future if they did something stupid.
Vast majority of the fighters are exremely disciplined, and have a tremendous respect for the sport and its art forms. Does that mean every single guy ever has been that way? Probably not, but as a whole I believe Dana is correct. He runs this organization with pride, honor, and respect.
Dana White has obviously never been to Reseda before. I posted it here when the event happened, but some dumb self proclaimed MMA/UFC fighter jumped out of his white Mercedes convertible, tore off his shirt and shouted at some old guy in a pick-up that he'd beat his ass for honking at him....and that he was a UFC fighter. This all at a VanOwen traffic light. I doubt these guys are tested for steroids. That was typical roid rage I witnessed.
UFC should be banned....it's absolutely barbaric!
I don't trust the guy the sport is inherently a breed of itself outside the realm of sports in general & further this guy White has a VERY checkered past

Hey, Anonymous!
Thank you very much for writing in! I highly appreciate you taking the time to read my comics when there are already decades of highly engaging greeting cards filling the racks. I definitely agree Hallmark in particular is well worthy of such accolades. You don't stay in the greeting card business that long without doing something right!
I was very touched to read of your concern for my health, but was equally flattered by your comparison to a baby seal (albeit one of some girth). Those are some of the cutest of all the world's creatures. All and all, I'm not sure I'm worthy of such praise, but I'll definitely take the compliment.

Over all Review of Olympus VG-150 Point & Shoot Digital Camera Black
Overall Review
Olympus VG 150, is probably one of the most efficient entry level compact digital Point and Shoot available in market today under the Olympus V series. This camera can be your ideal mate if you are looking to learn the art of photography from the scratch, or for all the enthusiasts who are looking to enjoy all the perks of a standard Point and Shoot device at a really affordable price, truly Olympus VG-150 is an experience which is one of a king. Even for an entry level compact, this super slim device offers truly outstanding features which make it a real value for money object of use. And as covered under a firm named Olympus, it is obvious that photos and movies in everyday situations are captured at level best with Olympus VG-160. Coming alongside a 12 Megapixel CCD sensor (OOPS! No CMOS sensor here) it brings forth a moderate 4x wide optical zoom which is packed inside a really slim body, this device truly has a lot to be proud of and topping that is the price tag. Some additional features of this device include imaging aids like iAuto, Shadow Adjustment Technology and a range of Magic Filters for adding special effects to still photos.Rear of the device is covered by a 2.7 inch large LCD screen which makes it an absolute pleasure to share shots right on the spot.
Design and Build Quality
Olympus, the multinational, in designing of Olympus VG-150 does not go for the blockier finish but instead roots for the more edge-curved finish. One the first glance, Olympus VG-160 looks too sexy to be this affordable. This device is available in the color combinations of black, silver, red and orange. The exact dimensions of the device measure 92 mm x 54 mm x 19.8 mm and including battery the weight of Olympus VG 160 clocks 105 grams.
Focus and Face Detection
The light sensitivity of Olympus VG 150 ranges from ISO 80 to 1600 which gives the chance to the user to capture wonderful images irrespective of the light conditions available in the area. Focusing of Olympus VG 150 automatically detects focuses and prioritises the clarity of up to 16 faces within the image frame.
Lens and Image Stabilization
The lens mount on Olympus VG 150 fancies a good 26mm wide angle lens which comes thankfully with a RGB color filter. With a focal length of 4.8 – 19.2 mm and a 35 mm equivalent of 27 – 108 mm, the camera also features a 4x optical zoom with the availability of an additional 16x digital zoom.This gives Olympus VG-160 a combined zooming capacity of 64x magnification. Working through a slightly disappointing CCD image sensor, this efficient device from the multinational Olympus comes with a really strong 12 Megapixel resolution. Olympus VG 150 also comes with a wide range of shutter speeds (adjustable) that vary from aminimum of 1/2000 of a second to a maximum of 4 sec. There is anin-built flash with auto and manual adjustment modes which lets you control the intensity of the flash, with an available flash range of 20 cm to 4.8 m (Wide) and 60 cm to 2.1 m (Tele). Camera comes with another brilliant feature which increases the clarity of image i.e. Red Eye Reduction which makes it possible to capture images in dim conditions too. The aperture control function on Olympus VG-150 lets you adjust the amount of light that falls on the image sensor, which ranges from f/2.8 to f/6.5. It also features a TTL or through the lens iESP autofocus system that works using contrast detection. Olympus VG-150 has an autofocus range of 20 cm (Wide) and 60 cm (Tele) in the macro mode.
Screen and Menus
Almost the entire rear of Olympus VG 150 is covered by a 2.7 inch LCD screen which offers a really net preview of all the images and technological advancements such as AF tracking, Shadow Expansion etc that help a user capture images in precisely the way he needs. Also there is an intelligent Auto ( iAuto ) mode in Olympus VG 150 which quite automatically responds to all the shooting conditions that match any of the huge 29 modes that are already inbuilt in the design such as self-portrait, landscape and night + portrait mode. It also adjusts the focus and exposure to give pretty much a perfect balance of color and clarity in the device. So whether the user is capturing image of his kid playing in the playground or at a birthday party, Olympus VG 150s iAuto mode automatically optimising cameras setting to ensure a capture to all the everyday moments visible.
Olympus VG-150 runs on a LI-70B rechargeable lithium-ion battery that powers the camera for up to 165 shots. The main memory storage unit on this Olympus is accessible through the camera's memory card slot that is compatible with SD or SDHC memory cards. The captured files from the memory card can be easily transferred to a PC or a laptop through the camera's high-speed USB port or by using an SD memory card reader.
Video Mode
For a camera worth the price that it is placed at, Olympus VG 150 provides real catchy features, one of them being the video mode. Videos are recorded at 1280 x 720 image resolution at 30 frames per second or simply at 720p HD quality. In one charge the device can bring upon 90 minutes of HD movie, which is in no way a disappointing feature.
The camera works on 1/2.3 inch image sensor which is a CCD variant. To tell more about a CCD sensor it is an analog device. When light strikes the chip it is held as a small electrical charge in each photo sensor. The charges are converted to voltage one pixel at a time as they are read from the chip.
· VG-150 is a good value and compares favorably to others in this price range
· LCD is large versus other sub-$100 models
· Photo quality when using the flash is surprisingly good
· Start-up is pretty fast
· Shortcut on-screen menu makes it easy to select commands and shooting functions
· Some image quality problems with soft focus and chromatic aberration
· Zoom lens is small at 4X, and it isn't available when shooting movies
· Very limited movie controls and no full HD option
· Shot to shot delays are troublesome
· Small control buttons aren't comfortable

Another device in the Point and Shoot line up of Olympus, the Japanese multinational is Olympus VG 150 Point & Shoot. With the dimensions of 92mm x 54mm x 19.8 mm the camera is compact and fits into the palm well enough as well as it slides into your pocket, the camera is also flyweight at 105 g hence there is no significant hindrance in the handling portion. Olympus VG-150 sorts the combination of a 1/2.3"-type, 12 effective megapixel RGB CCD image sensor and a 4x optical zoom lens which has Olympus brand on it, this entry level zoom is capable of offering 35mm-equivalent range from a useful 27mm wide-angle to a reasonable 108mm telephoto. The sad part about the camera is that Olympus VG-150 lacks true perfunctory image stabilization, instead opting only for in Olympus' words "Digital Image Stabilization", which in return leads to an increase the ISO sensitivity (and along with it, both the shutter speed and image noise levels) to try and freeze motion. ISO sensitivity ranges from a low of ISO 100 to a maximum of ISO 1,600 equivalent. When we talk about the display of the camera, a 2.7-inch LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution offers the Olympus VG-150's only option for framing and reviewing images, optical viewfinder is completely absent from this product.
Greatest image dimensions in the VG-150's resident 4:3 aspect ratio are 3,968 x 2,976 pixels, and the camera also comprises a 16:9 aspect ratio mode as an alternate, albeit limited to Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) or simply 1080p pixel resolution. Olympus VG-150 brings forth a contrast-detection autofocus system functioning off data streaming from the image sensor of the device, and Olympus VG-150 also includes the capability to detect faces which is in a two way linked both to the autoexposure and autofocus systems, which makes sure that your subjects' faces are taken into account when determining both these variables. AF tracking technology continually adjusts focus and exposure to keep fast-moving subjects in focus. Scene modes of the device include Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Night Scene with portrait, Sports, Indoor, Candle, Self-portrait, Sunset, Fireworks, Cuisine, Documents, Beach and Snow, and Pet. There's also an Intelligent Auto mode which can automatically select from a subset of available scene modes. A rather sad amount of internal memory is provided to the device at 18 MB and so it the case on Secure Digital memory cards, which accepts SDHC cards but not the older SDXC cards. Images and videos can be transferred to a PC over a USB 2.0 High-Speed connection, and there's also a standard-definition video output. Rightly just an above average camera with some technical issues!

Plastic universal bipod. Clamps on easily to the barrel of your airsoft gun and provides a stable shooting platform!
"You have to have a small barrel for it to stay on well."
found this review helpful.
"Just got it today, and it broke. But then again, it was cheap. The top part that does the clamping broke off, both sides. That was essential to the bipod staying on the gun... but we're trying superglue and if it doesn't work, then we'll return it. It's a good buy, though. Get it if you want something simple and cheap."
found this review helpful.
"Very cheap bipod that will break the first time it twists slightly if you're adjusting your position. Save up and buy a better bipod that can fit a bigger barrel and is either metal (unlike this plastic piece of... worthlessness) or swivels."

But a group of mothers on Thursday expressed concern that Katz may be ignoring their kids.

OP-ED | Children Deserve Better Than An Underfunded, Dangerous DCF
by Susan Bigelow | June 27, 2014 12:20pm
Sometime on Tuesday, June 24, a 16-year-old transgender girl in DCF care finally left the adult women's prison where she'd been kept for close to two months. "Jane Doe" has never been charged with a crime, and her detention provoked a national uproar. But her release isn't nearly the end of the troubled agency's woes.

OP-ED | Mental Health Is No Laughing Matter - It's Time to End the Stigma
by Sarah Darer Littman | June 27, 2014 9:37am
In last week's column about Task Force to Study the Provision of Behavioral Health Services for Young Adults report, I wrote openly about my own struggles with the mental health system. In other words, I admitted publicly that I, too, have had issues with mental health. This isn't something new. It's a conscious choice I made over a decade ago around the time of my hospitalization, when I saw the stigma those around me, including even some who loved me and were most close to me, had about mental health issues.
I knew then that for me to be healthier, for society to be healthier, this would have to change.
It's not a choice I regret often — mostly because I'm powered by a sense of purpose. One of my favorite quips is that "God gave me a gift, the ability to express myself in writing, and then decided to give me plenty of 'material'."

Last night World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), formerly the WWF, broadcasted their annual Royal Rumble competition. The match starts with 2 men with a new wrestler coming into the ring every 60 seconds until 30 men have entered the match. The only way for wrestlers to be eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope until only 1 man is left. That man is given an automatic shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.
For site that covers Cleveland sports you may be asking yourself, "How does this relate to our teams?" Besides this writer's childhood memories of watching the WWF in the old Richfield Coliseum, the Royal Rumble elimination style is a fun way of ranking the Cleveland teams' players. What player would be eliminated first, who would be last standing as the most important, ie Champion, player on the team.
We start with the Cleveland Browns. We will go through the wrestler who was eliminated first and match them with the player who would be eliminated from the team first. We will compare the wrestler to the player and the move on to the next till we get to the last man standing. First is a list of the top 30 players on the team:
|Baker, Edwin
|Hoyer, Brian
|Pinkston, Jason
|Benjamin, Travis
|Bryant, Desmond
|Rubin, Ahtyba

Masahiro Tanaka, the New York Yankees ace, was on his way to starting the second half of what could be a possible award winning season for the right-hander. Now he is on his way to the disabled list.
Tanaka was been flown back to New York from Cleveland early Wednesday, where the Yankees are currently playing a series against the Indians, to get an MRI on his pitching arm. The results of the MRI are not promising. The Yankees immediately placed Tanaka on the disabled list with "elbow soreness".
After his Tuesday start Tanaka did not say anything about dealing with a possible injury simply telling reporters that his poor outing was because of his command.
"I think it had a lot to do with my command. A lot of my pitches were going right down the middle."
A source later told ESPNNewYork.com that the pitcher had reported having discomfort in his arm but there was no indication as to whether it was his elbow or his shoulder. Apparently it was, most certainly, his elbow which is not a good sign for a pitcher. This has been especially true lately. Elbow soreness has been a pre-cursor for many pitchers who have later been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament which usually requires Tommy John surgery.
The Yankees declined to comment on the severity of Tanaka's injury. The pitcher has yet to be examined by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad who was out of town at a conference for orthopedic surgeons in Seattle. Ahmad will examine Tanaka as soon as he returns but Yankees manager Joe Girardi did not say when exactly that would be. He did say,
"I think you always worry when a guy has an elbow MRI. But until Dr. Ahmad sees him, I don't have much more for you."
The 25- year old has struggled in his last four starts. In Tuesday night's start Tanaka allowed a career high five runs on ten hits getting his third loss in his last four starts. He only has four total losses on the year. He has helped hold together an ailing Yankees rotation that has suffered losses like C.C. Sabathia and Ivan Nova.
Over the first half of the season Tanaka is 12-4 with a 2.51 ERA, ;leading the league in wins. Over the off-season Tanaka came over after playing professional ball in Japan for seven years. He signed a seven-year, $155 million contract with the Yankees.
Hopefully for both Tanaka and the Yankees, Tanaka will only need rest and will be back after the 15-days. If his ligament is torn it means the Yankees will have another starter out for the remainder of the season and part of next season. The recovery period after Tommy John surgery is usually 12-18 months for a pitcher.
