- CBSSports.comMilroe is one of several rookies who enjoyed solid NFL camp debuts RENTON, Wash. — The first installment of our Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp rundown focused on third-round pick Jalen Milroe the most interesting of the team’s 11 selections in the 2025 NFL Draft due to being the franchise’s first quarterback pick since 2018 This second iteration will touch on Milroe as well let’s get into takeaways involving the other draft picks from Seattle’s two-day minicamp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center First-round pick Grey Zabel spent minicamp at left guard Seattle knows he can play left tackle in a pinch and has the mental capacity to play center if needed he’ll slot in next to left tackle Charles Cross but it’s safe to assume that if any of the interior linemen want to crack the starting lineup they’ll have to win the battle at right guard That competition will include sixth-round pick Bryce Cabeldue who lined up there in practice next to seventh-round pick Mason Richman at right tackle Head coach Mike Macdonald can’t fully evaluate his rookie linemen until they’re wearing pads but their first impression was encouraging “We will work on the finish and all that stuff when it becomes time but really good first step with those guys The first reps for @GreyZabel. pic.twitter.com/AJvjkQrZAd — Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) May 4, 2025 2. Also falling into the “as expected” category is second-round safety Nick Emmanwori playing near the line of scrimmage in practice (often beside tryout players since the rookie free-agent class didn’t include any safeties) Emmanwori received a lot of instruction in between snaps from Macdonald safeties coach Jeff Howard and defensive backs coach Karl Scott Emmanwori said the talks with the head coach were mainly about alignment and “making sure I’m reading my keys going through my progressions and making it look good out there.” but you can see how playing near the line of scrimmage may be a good fit for Emmanwori but he’s probably not someone Seattle wants to play in space as general manager John Schneider said multiple times on draft weekend but using him at the second level will probably lead to more advantageous matchups which is a fun characteristic to work with,” Macdonald said Emmanwori will be the first Seahawk since Russell Wilson to wear No but his college number (7) is currently taken by veteran outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu All the other single-digit jerseys are taken by veterans except for No Seattle has issued jerseys previously belonging to nearly all the prominent members of the Pete Carroll-era teams The last one left now that Wilson’s old number has a new owner is Bobby Wagner’s No The Seahawks have just four retired jerseys in honor of former players — Steve Largent (80) Kenny Easley (45) and Cortez Kennedy (96) — and all of them played exclusively for Seattle though that may change as we get further removed from those Carroll-era teams “Russell Wilson is one of my favorite quarterbacks growing up with that Legion of Boom defense,” Emmanwori said I’m going to do what I can in this number and make it special on defense in my own way.” showcasing the type of pass-catching ability that Seattle believed made him worthy of the 50th pick (Schneider had previously never drafted a tight end earlier than the third round) Arroyo said he takes pride in having a wide catch radius Seattle’s decision-makers believe he’s such a mismatch for defenders at 6-foot-5 and 254 pounds that he’s effectively another wideout There was a play during Saturday’s practice that required Emmanwori to cover Arroyo across the field you can see how the rookie may create issues for defenses that don’t have great athletes at inside linebacker or safety who can turn their hips and run with him Milroe lit up when talking about throwing to his new teammate “I threw him some nice balls today — and he went to go get that ball Milroe and Arroyo participated in the Senior Bowl and later went on a few pre-draft visits together they talked about how great it would be if they could team up in the NFL The physical benefits of rostering a fullback won’t show up in these pad-less practices but Robbie Ouzts’ pass-catching ability was on display during minicamp He likely won’t be heavily involved in that facet of the game but as Seattle has witnessed up close for years playing against San Francisco’s Kyle Juszczyk a fullback with reliable hands adds another useful wrinkle to the two-back offense And in the case of the fifth-round rookie from Alabama it helps that he’s used to catching passes from Seattle’s rookie quarterback “I don’t know if it’s the offense or Milroe feeding me so I’ve just got to make the most of my opportunities,” said Ouzts He added that his tight end background “definitely helps” when executing the receiving duties required of the fullback “Being more of a natural at tracking the ball that can be foreign to a lot of fullbacks,” Ouzts said Bama made. pic.twitter.com/bk9YyryP8O — Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) May 3, 2025 Fifth-round selections Tory Horton and Rylie Mills sat out due to knee injuries Mills said there’s a return-to-play plan in place but did not give specifics Horton had surgery to repair a season-ending LCL injury he suffered in October He was able to run at the combine but is sidelined out of precaution Macdonald did not provide a timeline for Horton to see the field “I wouldn’t say it’s anything major,” Macdonald said Said Horton: “I’m feeling good where I’m at right now I’m just taking mental reps and still going game-speed mentally.” Players drafted in the fifth round typically have a tough time making an impact as a rookie there’s a chance he can jump to the front of the line as Seattle’s punt returner He scored three times in college and averaged 16.3 yards per return Neither of last year’s punt returners are on the roster Seattle signed veteran returner Steven Sims to a one-year deal When asked about a potential role for Horton the first thing Macdonald mentioned was the rookie’s ability to return punts Milroe looked comfortable throwing the ball and leading the group in both practices though it’s too early to make much of any specific plays.  Sixth-round running back Damien Martinez gave a shoutout to Milroe for “picking up the offense coming out and making sure everybody is where they’re supposed to be and on point.” Really takes pride in the operation,” Macdonald said “All the fundamental things we’re going to be building on from the ground up Milroe said he intends to do the virtual reality training used by quarterbacks such as reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels who made the Pro Bowl and led the Commanders to the NFC title game Macdonald said they’re still working out the details but the goal is to see how the technology can help players at every position “For Jalen and the quarterbacks specifically you’re only going to get so many full-speed reps out there,” Macdonald said How do you do things like that where you can be creative where you can get these really great cheap reps and stack those on top of each other so when he does get his opportunities in practice Michael-Shawn Dugar is a staff writer for The Athletic covering the Seattle Seahawks.

He received offers from UConn, Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Penn State, Texas, Texas A&M a university where he had watched games with his father and grandfather was injured the next two years and then returned for a fantastic season in 2024 He had 35 receptions for 590 yards and 7 touchdowns which earned him Second Team All-ACC honors Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Awesome effort pic.twitter.com/TZVJKTlt9K His mentality of fighting for every snap is something incredible Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Fearless pic.twitter.com/JEehPlh2Mf Not afraid to sacrifice his body in blocking many teams had Arroyo as a top-20-25 player in the draft The problem was the injuries the player had (we’ll talk about that later) that made some teams give up on his selection Let’s look at John Schneider’s history of drafting TEs: in addition to being the highest TE drafted by John Arroyo is the highest TE drafted by Seattle since John Carlson was drafted in the second round in 2008 at 38th overall only two other TEs have been drafted higher than Arroyo in the first round of the 2002 Draft at 28th overall This is the definition of the principle of impenetrability it is undeniable that he basically occupies the same role as Noah Fant specialized in the slot and who needs to improve in blocking Arroyo and AJ Barner could be the team’s TE trio especially with Fant’s cap hit of $13,410,000 Either Seattle doesn’t see it that way (which would be a mistake to me) or the team is willing to end Fant’s time as a Seattle Seahawk but it would still be possible to dream of a trade Fant is a first-round pick and there are always those who like to bet on his pedigree A good candidate would be the Jaguars. Currently the group has only: Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long. The Dolphins have Jonnu Smith It is worth remembering that Arroyo has a history of injuries and perhaps that is why Seattle wants to keep Noah Fant He suffered an ACL injury in his left knee during his Sophomore season The following year he missed 8 games again while still recovering from the same injury In 4 years (only 2 of which he actually played) he has less than 50 receptions (46) and 753 yards Seattle drafted two other players with injury problems both had visits with the Seahawks during the pre-draft the Seahawks could test them to get a true sense of the problem no information has been released about Arroyo having visited the team in this process leading up to the Draft Did the Seahawks invest in a guy they didn’t “test” enough Schneider said some Seahawks coaches see Elijah Arroyo as a potential X receiver Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Aligned as an outside receiver wait for CB open the hips and make the cut pic.twitter.com/y9Bv0yAN0x Arroyo definitely looks like a WR/TE hybrid and that’s how they plan to use him He has enough speed to be a vertical threat He waits for the vertical threat and when he opens his hips to make the deep Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Good speed against slot corner pic.twitter.com/puyt6XaamR Elijah Arroyo lined up in the slot on 51.6% of snaps and in-line on 39.4% He had 16.9 yards per reception in 2024 and converted the line for a gain on 71.4% of his receptions Fluid athlete with a long wingspan who is a mismatch in the MOF Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Nice vision to to see the safety leaving hiis zone and a lot of yards after the catch pic.twitter.com/2XJIPcEqoQ Arroyo was one of eight TEs in the country to average more than 8 YAC per reception and more than 1.6 yards per route run last season Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Vertical threat pic.twitter.com/jA1bMHlp8U The only NFL players who have posted a faster time than Elijah Arroyo in Miami in 2024 Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Nice cut pic.twitter.com/vzKSItBkGv he has a good change of direction to leave defenders on the ground with his sudden cut Elijah Arroyo, TE, #8Reliable catch, big catch radius.

I really improved these past couple of years and there's still a lot more room for improvement as a far as my in-line blocking Just learning how to help the offense any way I can." While Arroyo is from Florida and played his college football in Miami he didn't spend his entire childhood in the Sunshine State Because of his father's job selling timeshares staying for five years before moving to Frisco "I had just started playing football before I moved down there so that was my biggest concern as a 7-year-old moving to a different country," he said "I asked my mom if they had a football team "It was really the same other than being in a different language You really learn that it's still the same sport There's different ways to learn the game."

Officials say the traffic circle is designed to enhance safety and improve traffic flow for students vehicles exiting the high school parking lot could not legally make a left turn onto Fair Oaks

to traffic starting Monday as crews install a new traffic circle at the entrance of Arroyo Grande High School the section of the road between California Street and Valley Road will be closed from

exactly what they lost when they traded DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers In the end, the Seahawks wound up drafting two wide receivers on Day 3. However, while they're not exactly Tavon Austin-sized, neither Tory Horton (6-foot-2, 196 pounds) nor Ricky White III (6-foot-1 184 pounds) really qualifies as that big-framed wide catch radius kind of pass-catcher that Seattle was reportedly looking for The Seahawks did get what they wanted, though. In the second round they used the No. 50 overall pick on Miami's Elijah Arroyo (6-foot-5, 250 pounds), one of the top-five tight ends in a deep draft class the position Arroyo wasted little time showing off what he can do with that wide frame at rookie minicamp After making a big leaping catch at yesterday's rookie minicamp practice Arroyo eloquently summed up what he brings to the table for Seattle Elijah Arroyo is wearing No. 18 because it’s the closest to 8 (which Coby Bryant has). Also, when asked about leaping and catching a pass today, Elijah says he takes pride in his wide catch radius. “I’m a big target.” pic.twitter.com/BE9XwYBB25 Arroyo has the chops and the size to be a legit red zone weapon for Sam Darnold as a rookie How much playing time he actually sees in 2025 will depend on how well he picks up the little things and learns Klint Kubiak's scheme Once he's up to speed though Arroyo should in theory become the team's long-term number one tight end NFL draft expert ranks Seahawks’ 2025 class second behind Patriots Seattle Seahawks announce they have signed 17 undrafted free agents Utah edge rusher named UDFA most likely to make Seahawks roster One move could put Seahawks at $100 million in cap space for 2026 TIM WEAVERTim Weaver has been writing about the NFL since the 2013 season for multiple teams and outlets, including USA Today and The Sporting News.

Lawsuits are underway in several states over the participation of transgender athletes in various sports and President Donald Trump recently signed executive orders that would take away protections for people who are transgender People across the country have been vocal on all sides of this issue it came to a head at a recent Lucia Mar Unified School District board meeting and anyone who knows her is going to tell you that,” said Hilary the mother of a transgender student-athlete at Arroyo Grande High School Hilary and Trevor’s 16-year-old daughter came out as transgender in her freshman year The parents expressed concern for their daughter’s safety so KSBY agreed to use only their first names in this report “She did have a meeting with the student services director and they set up a plan and talked about what it would look like for her to come out at school and then we sat with that for awhile and then when our daughter decided that was what she wanted to do we sent an email and the plan was implemented and it was a very smooth process,” Hilary explained It’s a sport her parents say she’s loved since middle school Her favorite ones are the relays because then she is part of a team,” Trevor said But not everyone feels this should be allowed At least 50 people with opinions on the matter filled the most recent school board meeting It opened up a conversation about not only the teen’s participation in track and field but also her ability to change in the girls' locker room and use the girls' restrooms “I am calling you out on your current policy A policy that makes my daughter and her female counterparts feel unsafe and unprotected by their school,” said Amy Duyst “Adults like yourself make me and my peers feel like our own comfort is invalid even though our privacy is and has been completely violated,” said Celeste Duyst A spokesperson told KSBY that the district must follow both federal and state laws California state law reads that all students should “be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.” Parents of the transgender athlete hope other students get the chance to know their daughter before jumping to conclusions “The kids that have gotten a chance to get to know her her identity as a trans youth falls away and becomes a secondary issue Her being trans is the least interesting thing about her,” Trevor said told board members the trans athlete watched her and other young women undress which said that no complaints were filed at the district level and any complaints at the school level are thoroughly investigated The Seahawks wrapped up Day 2 of the NFL Draft having added safety Nick Emmanwori out of South Carolina tight end Elijah Arroyo of Miami and Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe Seahawks general manager and president of football operations John Schneider opened up the end of day press conference with All three picks from Day 2 spoke with media after being drafted the Seahawks added depth on the other side of the ball on Friday drafting Nick Emmanwori leading the Gamecocks with 88 tackles and three tackles for loss earned AP first-team All-America honors and was named SEC Player of the Year SEC Defensive Player of the Year and SEC Safety of the Year by College Football Nation It felt great when I went up there for the visit I talked to the coaches and had a great visit but Emmanwori saw himself being taken higher than that "I had higher expectations for myself as far as going in the first but God had other plans and a different path for me but I'm going to make them all pay for that "I was already entering the league with something on my mind," Emmanwori said "Like a goal I had or a vision I had or a little chip Seahawks second-round pick Nick Emmanwori spoke to media after being selected with the 35th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft The Seahawks added another pass-catcher to their arsenal drafting Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo who caught 35 passes for 590 yards and seven touchdowns averaging 16.9 yards per reception last season for the Hurricanes Arroyo earned second-team All-ACC honors for his final season performance I feel like that's where I thrive," he said "Just being able to spread out and create mismatches." He added that Seahawks are getting a player who is dependable Tremendous effort and everything out of me Seahawks second-round pick Elijah Arroyo spoke to media after being selected with the 50th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft That was the message coming out of Jalen Milroe's first conference call with Seahawks media after being drafted No The quarterback out of Alabama was asked if he thinks he is the best quarterback in the draft and if he had a message to teams who passed on him Milroe responded with a short but simple response that didn't need an explanation Milroe passed for 2,844 yards and 16 touchdowns while completing 64.3 percent of his passes And Milroe also showed an ability to use his legs rushing for a team-leading 726 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns And despite that message for teams who passed on him he didn't let where he was drafted bother him I still have to come in and prove myself and earn the trust and respect of guys in the locker room So it wasn't a necessity to hear my name called early on or later on It was more to hear my name called because I know that team is all on me and they saw something in me that other teams didn't It didn't really matter when I was selected." Although the Seahawks currently have four quarterbacks on the roster in Sam Darnold Milroe knows what he brings will be an asset to Seattle "There's nothing I can't do on the football field But there's nothing I can do on the football field pick and choose what you want on the field it's just more knowing what I bring to the table and knowing that it's a different dynamic on the football field that I know I'm going to utilize in the NFL." The Seahawks head into the final day on the Draft with five picks Head coach Mike Macdonald was satisfied with the progress the rookies made after two days of rookie minicamp Seahawks rookie QB Jalen Milroe spoke with the media after the first day of rookie minicamp Seahawks rookies suited up for the first time for rookie minicamp and spoke with the media All the Seahawks news you might have missed from this week Seahawks first-round pick Grey Zabel met with the media Thursday ahead of this weekend's rookie minicamp Ahead of rookie minicamp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Thursday the newest Seahawks have their jersey numbers The Seahawks waived four players on Tuesday which opens more roster spots ahead of signing undrafted free agents later this week Now the team used its original second-round pick to add some receiving help for new starting quarterback Sam Darnold University of Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo was Schneider’s second pick in the second round He joins a pass-catching corps that includes wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Marquez Vandes-Scantling “Arroyo enters the evaluation process with questions to answer after a knee injury took chunks of two seasons from him He’s an average athlete who struggles to beat man coverage but appeared to get faster and more fluid as the 2024 season wore on “Arroyo is a move tight end whose medical and athletic testing need to check out to give him a legitimate shot at being a productive pro.” The 6’5’, 250-pound target played in just 23 games in his first three seasons with the ‘Canes, totaling a combined 11 grabs for 163 yards and one touchdown. That all changed in 2024 for Arroyo, who snared 35 passes for 590 yards (16.9 average) and seven touchdowns in 13 contests An interesting addition for new Seahawks’ offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak Earl Thomas comments on that one time he gave Pete Carroll the finger Seahawks updated, upgraded offensive line depth chart with Grey Zabel Seattle Seahawks earn B+ grade for bread & butter Grey Zabel pick Gauging Seahawks’ need at each position going into 2025 NFL draft A four-star recruit from Independence High School in Frisco Arroyo was ranked among the top tight ends nationally (No His high school performance earned him offers from several top programs and he chose to commit to the University of Miami His high school performance also earned him the honor of high expectations Elijah Arroyo's journey to the NFL is a story of being able to overcome adversity Arroyo's early collegiate years were marred by injuries He played in 12 games as a freshman in 2021 tallying five receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown he appeared in five games before a season-ending injury (torn ACL) The 2023 season saw limited action due to recovery with Arroyo participating in six games and recording one reception for 11 yards At this point there were concerns on if Arroyo would ever be able to reach his potential and meet the expectations he had coming out of high school But then Arroyo finally put it all together in 2024 amassing 35 receptions for 590 yards and seven touchdowns His performance earned him Second-Team All-ACC honors and a spot at the Reese's Senior Bowl Unfortunately, as many stories go, Arroyo's progress has not been linear and he suffered another injury during his time at the Senior Bowl which kept him out of parts of the pre-draft process. Luckily for Arroyo it was not as serious as what he had dealt with in the past Leading up to the NFL Draft, many projections had Arroyo going in the 2nd round, but the injury concerns could have made him fall.

Pipelines allows you to ingest high volumes of structured, real-time data, and load it into our object storage service, R2 You don’t have to manage any of the underlying infrastructure worry about scaling shards or metadata services and you pay for the data processed (and not by the hour) Anyone on a Workers paid plan can start using it to ingest and batch data — at tens of thousands of requests per second (RPS) — directly into R2 But this is just the tip of the iceberg: you often want to transform the data you’re ingesting and write it to an open table format (such as Apache Iceberg) so that you can efficiently query that data once you’ve landed it in object storage The good news is that we’ve thought about that too, and we’re excited to announce that we’ve acquired Arroyo With Arroyo and our just announced R2 Data Catalog we’re getting increasingly serious about building a data platform that allows you to ingest data across the planet To get started, you can dive into the Pipelines developer docs or just run this Wrangler command to create your first pipeline: the true power comes from the processing of data streams between ingestion and when they’re written to sinks like R2 Being able to write SQL that acts on windows of data as it’s being ingested and even extract insights from the data in real-time and we’re going to be bringing the best parts of Arroyo into Pipelines and deeply integrate it with Workers We started Arroyo in 2023 to bring real-time (stream) processing to everyone who works with data Modern companies rely on data pipelines to power their applications and businesses — from user customization After spending many years working on stream processing at companies like Lyft and Splunk it was no mystery why: it was just too hard for developers and data scientists to build correct Large tech companies hire streaming experts to build and operate these systems but everyone else is stuck waiting for batches to arrive the dominant solution for streaming pipelines — and what we ran at Lyft and Splunk — was Apache Flink Flink was the first system that successfully combined a fault-tolerant (able to recover consistently from failures) stateful (and remember data about past events) dataflow with a graph-construction API This combination of features meant that we could finally build powerful real-time data applications in practice the API proved too hard and low-level for non-expert users and the stateful nature of the resulting services required endless operations We realized we would need to build a new streaming engine — one with the power of Flink but designed for product engineers and data scientists and to run on modern cloud infrastructure We started with SQL as our API because it’s easy to use We built it in Rust for speed and operational simplicity (no JVM tuning required!) We constructed an object-storage-native state backend simplifying the challenge of running stateful pipelines — which each are like a weird dozens of companies are running Arroyo pipelines with use cases including data ingestion and Workers to safely and efficiently run user code allows us to push these systems all the way to the edge enabling a new paradigm of local stream processing that will be key for a future of data sovereignty and AI That’s why we’re incredibly excited to join with the Cloudflare team to make this vision a reality While transformations and a streaming SQL API are on the way for Pipelines it already solves two critical parts of the data journey: globally distributed high-throughput ingestion and efficient loading into object storage Creating a pipeline is as simple as running one command:  a pipeline can ingest data from two sources – Workers and an HTTP endpoint – and load batched events into an R2 bucket This gives you an out-of-the-box solution for streaming raw event data into object storage you can configure pipelines during creation or anytime after Options include: adding authentication to the HTTP endpoint configuring CORS to allow browsers to make cross-origin requests and specifying output file compression and batch settings We’ve built Pipelines for high ingestion volumes from day 1 Each pipeline can scale to ~100,000 records per second (and we’re just getting started here) Batching is critical here: if you’re going to act on and query that data you don’t want your query engine querying millions (or tens of millions) of tiny files It’s slow (per-file & request overheads) you want to find the right balance between batch size for your query engine and latency (not waiting too long for a batch): Pipelines allows you to configure this output files are partitioned by date and time using the standard Hive partitioning scheme because your query engine can just skip data that is irrelevant to the query you’re running The output in your R2 bucket might look like this: Hive-partioned files from Pipelines in an R2 bucket Output files are stored as new-line delimited JSON (NDJSON) — which makes it easy to materialize a stream from these files (hint: in the future you’ll be able to use R2 as a pipeline source too). Finally, the file names are ULIDs - so they’re sorted by time by default What makes Pipelines so horizontally scalable and able to acknowledge writes quickly is how we built it: we use Durable Objects and the embedded, zero-latency SQLite storage within each Durable Object to immediately persist data as it’s written before then processing it and writing it to R2 For example: imagine you’re an e-commerce or SaaS site and need to ingest website usage data (known as clickstream data) and make it available to your data science team to query The infrastructure which handles this workload has to be resilient to several failure scenarios The ingestion service needs to maintain high availability in the face of bursts in traffic to minimize downstream invocations and thus downstream cost the buffered data needs to be delivered to a sink with appropriate retry & failure handling if the sink is unavailable Each step of this process needs to signal backpressure upstream when overloaded It also needs to scale: up during major sales or events and down during the quieter periods of the day Data engineers reading this post might be familiar with the status quo of using Kafka and the associated ecosystem to handle this But if you’re an application engineer: you use Pipelines to build an ingestion service without learning about Kafka The diagram above shows how Pipelines splits the control plane which is a scalable group of Durable Objects shards When a record (or batch of records) is written to Pipelines: The Pipelines Worker receives the records either through the fetch handler or worker binding based upon the pipeline_id to get the execution plan: subsequent reads are cached to reduce pressure on the coordinator while are primarily serving to scale read request handling These then re-shard to another set of executors that are actually handling the writes, beginning with persisting to Durable Object storage, which will be replicated for durability and availability by the Storage Relay Service (SRS) we pass to any configured Transform Workers to customize the data we use RPC stubs for connection reuse between Durable Objects Each step is also able to retry operations to handle any temporary unavailability in the Durable Objects or R2 We also guarantee delivery even while updating an existing pipeline including all the shards and Durable Objects described above Requests are gracefully re-routed to the new pipeline The old pipeline continues to write data into R2 until all the Durable Object storage is drained We spin down the old pipeline only after all the data has been written out you won’t lose data even while updating a pipeline You’ll notice there’s one interesting part in here — the Transform Workers — which we haven’t yet exposed As we work to integrate Arroyo’s streaming engine with Pipelines this will be a key part of how we hand over data for Arroyo to process there will be no additional charges beyond standard R2 storage and operation costs incurred when loading and accessing data so you can process and query your data from any cloud or region without worrying about data transfer costs adding up we plan to introduce pricing based on volume of data ingested into Pipelines and delivered from Pipelines: We’re also planning to make Pipelines available on the Workers Free plan as the beta progresses We’ll be sharing more as we bring transformations and additional sinks to Pipelines We’ll provide at least 30 days notice before we make any changes or start charging for usage and we’re keen to build on a lot of the powerful components that Arroyo has built: integrating Workers as UDFs (User-Defined Functions) and extending Pipelines with new sinks (beyond R2) We’ll also be integrating Pipelines with our just-launched R2 Data Catalog: enabling you ingest streams of data directly into Iceberg tables and immediately query them Get started and create your first Pipeline Read the docs Join the #pipelines-beta channel on our Developer Discord … or deploy the example project directly:  Learn how Cloudflare tackles the challenge of scaling global service health metrics to safely release new software across our global network...

Tammi Price the owner of Village Cafe in Arroyo Grande or brew coffee normally as a result of the advisory "It's going to be a struggle but hopefully it's going to pass soon," Price said "All of our customers have been very understanding and they support us They can't make coffee at their house," she said San Luis Obispo County Public Works says coliform bacteria was found this week during routine testing of the Lopez Water Distribution System and Avila Beach were told to boil their water or use bottled water to avoid potential illness At the Lucia Mar Unified School District office the director of food services says their schools are also having to adapt they're boiling water and letting it cool and then rinsing any produce to ensure that the water is safe for our food prep Then we have bottled water that we're providing our students who need that," said Danica Hunt A district spokesperson says all of their school sites in the Five Cities area are impacted by this advisory Price

performances have moved audiences for decades He burstonto screens in The Thin Red Line and then fromthe Countermanty Christo to the Passion of the Christ Jim(00:32):cavizl leaves a deep impression on every role he touches.His Sound of Freedom was the breakout hit that mademore than two hundred and fifty million dollars at thebox office and shook the industry And now he's poisedto play Jesus again in Mel Gibson's sequel to The Passion.By the way go subscribe to a Royal Grande show(00:54):right now on YouTube or wherever you get your podcastsand turn the notifications on I don't want you tomiss an episode like this one Jim Cavizil sat downwith me to discuss how he is preparing to stepinto the sandals of the Savior once more how thiswill be different for him and his personal life his career,and much more.Speaker 2 (01:15):Watch.Speaker 1 (01:16):I want to start with where this acting thing came.Speaker 2 (01:19):From probably junior High I was Iwas impersonating everybody that I saw from Christopher Walking toEddie Murphy and who was kind of a knack Andhe'd be around your family and impersonating people and saythat's really good And I was doing a Christmas(01:41):play at Immaculate Conception School in Notunt Vernon and therewas a character named Simeon in the play and itwas had a lot of lines The music teacher was like,it was kind of pushing me to do it and just we're getting tothe end of the play the there was a piece(02:03):in there the Lord is My Shepherd and I justwent into a zone and people were crying in the audience.And afterwards the people would say you should be an actor,and the nuns were saying you should be a priest.And two things I said I do not want to(02:25):be as actor or a priest I don't want tobe an NBA basketball player Yeah,of course.Speaker 1 (02:33):Tell me about the movie theater incident you go to see.Speaker 2 (02:36):Was it Hoosiers Every day I wouldgo and work on I would chart all my basketballshots and different things like that I walkeddown the College Way and there was a Cinema fivetheater and I went in and watched Ghost several times,and at presence landed outside the movie theater Idon't know why until I did the passion that happened.Something similar happened but it was a thousand yards away.Your soul has this kind of knowledge and it cameinto the theater and presence came over me and I couldn't believe he loved methat much And thenthere was a voice and I heard it and he said,I'd like you to be an actor exactly that Ileft an indelible mark on my heart I mean I was flirting with it now.(03:47):Around those time was I had gotten my screen Actor'sGuild card with the Gus Vans movie and I wasa ticket taker and.Speaker 1 (03:58):I faked out the I have had Idaho which Idid not know you were in until this week.Speaker 2 (04:03):Yeah But I pretended that Iwas Italian and I faked it But if you believe whenyou're speaking and you're convincing So they believed it and(04:26):it got the part until the casting director called me.She says because they thought you wereItalian and I said no they cast me and they used me(04:47):without the Italian accent.Speaker 1 (04:49):And and you shared screen time with Keanu and River Phoenix.Speaker 2 (04:53):Yeah spend a little time with them.Speaker 1 (04:55):Yeah Tellme about the dean who was your manager whom weknow the way we met was Beverly Dan she managed your career really upuntil the passion.Speaker 2 (05:10):I met Beverly through a co management deal with awoman named Bev Cheney And sheput me in a car with another guy named BrendanFraser and we would drive down to auditions together We(05:30):flew to audition for General Hospital with Jeanie Francis Bothhim and I neither one of us got it.Speaker 1 (05:37):But he's from Washington State as well.Speaker 2 (05:40):Yeah I cameto LA and Beverly was this woman who did theyou know she if you read about her it's really fascinating.But she worked for ABC as a psychic and she(06:03):picked the whole schedule for ABC and she got blacklisted.And anyway I was down there and she could picktalent and she had me on taking this young girlto auditions and it was Reese Witherspoon uh and Iat some point I auditioned for Juilliard and got in,and then I really started belief Well you turned it down.Speaker 1 (06:46):You turned Juilliard down because you got a film gig.Speaker 2 (06:48):No And Idid the movie with Kevin Costner to play his little brother.But it gave me sixteen twenty weeks on a moviewhere you know And then I got a full scholarship(07:09):to Juilliard And then Juilliard renigged on their degreement there was the thin red line.And when Julliard were nigged down their agreement with me.John Kirby We went to Mass together and it's importantbecause you know there's a lot of things that youngactors can get involved in they were going toclubs and they were the poor guys like me orguys that had a lot of money that were on(07:52):Beverly Hills nine on TU and O or those shows.And that was it So what Iwould do is I'd get up in the morning got out of(08:14):six thirty Mass and went right direct to Loyla MarrimountUniversity where I was working out with the basketball playersbecause remember I played all right so these guys areworking on going the NBA and got to play withsome phenomenal great players But that level of intensity anddiscipline and discipline goes on to you and then the third is the mental,which was the acting that I was working on I went(08:57):to Catholic school for many years to do it I didn't know what the transubstantiation was.I learned that when I was around thirty Obviously theRosary is powerful because it's through Jesus to marry to Jesus.But it's Matthew It's the Gospels,it's the story and much you're meditating Owners you're meditating,(09:19):but you're I'm meditating on the Gospels and if you go back to the movie theater,I had a strong premonition that this was that moment.Right now and I'm I getout of the car and I went I didn't domy rosary because a lot ofpeople there are not you know they're kind of uppity,(10:02):and say they are And so you go in and sure,here she is and I said So we come inand we're talking about this and that And I hadmy wife's grandmother's rosary on me and that was the(10:26):rosary I prayed this is for you,and she couldn't believe I gave it to her I lost my rosary thatmother Teresa gave me from a friend of mine And youjust so it was a miracle.Speaker 1 (10:59):You said to me that Terry Malick is your fatherin film Whatdid you take from him in that first in Red Line?Speaker 2 (11:09):Terry Malick is a big ruth is a generational player.Michael Jordan is a generational player I've worked with twogenerational directors in my opinion of a lot of good ones,but I would say Mel Gibson and Terry Malick it'smy father in film because he's a man that couldhave gone by a way of the world and done(11:30):a lot of that He's still extremely private and youknow what you really kind of have to be andin a lot of ways he'd like to be anopen book but you gotto be an open book to certain people and yougot to keep that circle of trust pretty close.Speaker 1 (11:54):I don't want to pass by Count Monte Christia beautiful film in many ways andwas a statement of faith because What effect didhe have on you?Speaker 2 (12:15):He opened up a side of himself of God And we were goingthrough back and forth on the scene where his death scene,and I said God saith vengeance is mine and Kevin says,don't say that serve the sentence for(12:37):remember God saith vengeance is mine andI just gave myself to the scene and I justlost it It kind of hit me as a partin your life where I had no God I had a hole in myheart and it just came out it was just and you're learning a lotkind of on the job and a great actor likehim when they sees that those guys have always you know,(13:19):at some points I'd keep working That was very special.What we did.Speaker 3 (13:24):In fact If you go down to Malta andf it up like Oliver did Oliver Reed died right there.(13:45):And this was like three days later after having thisscene with Richard It was likehe died right and Richard had just told me this.And then we were working on the Passion and myhair person had Richard Harris on the.Speaker 2 (14:04):Phone and he's like Now areyou guys doing because we were.Speaker 1 (14:09):Getting just pummabled at that point Let's go back tothe beginning of that story.Speaker 2 (14:15):Sure Mel approaches you not to play.Speaker 1 (14:19):Jesus or or in a movie called The Passion and you goand meet he and Steve.Speaker 2 (14:29):Mcavidie out here there isa store who was down on Canaan had burned down Well,actually they're building it back up again and Steve shows up and he's got a(14:52):book on Mavericks I think TomHanks was going to be involved in it somehow So I read the script and I thinkKevin Reynolds was getting directed Who did Money Crystal with me?I'd never served before It was thenext ten years that I started learning how to massagicthe things I made some decisions where I can't(15:35):believe I turned that movie down that script wasn't there when I read it,you know And I eventually did get there with someother actors You put the right people in and getit there andprobably forty minutes into the meeting and we were talking about surfing moviesand everything it's not a surfing movie and it'snot Jesus on his surfboard how's that gonna work?And I just went and now I go back when(16:23):I'm nineteen years old in the movie theater and I went,oh my god He was smoking a cigarette at the time.He doesn't even smoke anymore I don't need anybody to tell.Speaker 1 (17:04):Me whether nothing.Speaker 2 (17:07):I didn't ask Beverly He called me at home twodays later and he goes no,what I wanted to make was what really happened.Speaker 2 (17:24):So I was okay with that but I didn't realizedbecause I really didn't know my faith much at that time.I remember I didn'teven know if you said what transubstantiation was Even though Iwent to Catholic school for years they didn't They didn'tteach us any of that stuff you come in as honor as a Catholic.(17:46):My wife when she was in bed and she hadsomething underneath She had a rosary,grabbed it through it across Sahgat.I get out of here because I thought it waslike voodoo stuff I don't know anything,but I do now.Speaker 1 (18:07):Yeah There'sno more difficult role because you're not dealing with aconflicted character There's no obstacles reallyexcept people in your case in the case of the passion,they're throwing rocks at him There people blocking them.Speaker 2 (18:28):But he's perfection.Speaker 1 (18:30):How do you approach that as an actor practically speaking.Speaker 2 (18:34):Well he might notlike my answer when the answer is really simple I read that I had as a Catholic,we have sacraments as all Christians Baptism the Rosary was an important weapon for(18:55):me because it was the Bible without being able toread it and soI was able to go there while I'm kind ofyou go into a kind of a trance when you're filming,(19:18):and I had to because of the makeup times fromtwo in the morning till ten I can'thave any sin on him.Speaker 1 (19:31):Other things that I mean you personally couldn't have anysin during that peer.Speaker 2 (19:35):Of course and I would meditate on through the sacraments,through the Eucharist I had the Rosary that(19:56):I was meditating I can't take the Biblewhile I'm up on the passion holding it My handsare tied up and I couldn't count on my fingersanymore because I couldn't feel him And I wastied so the shoulder kept you separated your shoulders separated.The shoulders was rols So what I did was I(20:17):picked out eleven things One guy was the our Father,and then I would just look at ten things Hall Mary,and that I would start with the wedding all over again,all over this and that I would do the entire uh,the sorrowful mysteries That's what you did while you wereon the girls I was doing that while I was(20:38):on the cross because the pain was excruciating and he tookme somewhere and I would start to because we wereso cold They would take you down off the cross.I'd go in into this cave and they had aheater and the wind was just blowing and they couldn'tget me warm enough when you have a torn shoulder and you're shaking,that hurt So the the thenthe these heaters and the wind would come up They had latex all over yourbodies that they build they built because it's(21:23):scourging and everything So that was the awful part about it.And then again from lack of sleep is when theinfection started in my lungs and then I had double pneumonia.I was on antibiotics the whole time and then that'swhen the aphibs started coming I got ripped right in half(21:45):from that lightning bolt And then my then two heart surgeries.Speaker 1 (21:52):And you think that that's what contributed to the heart problems.Lightning strike and the hypothermia and the and the.Speaker 2 (21:58):Well that was a phib When I was on the cross,the doctor put the stepth of scope on my heartand he turned to Melanie said he could die becausehe's listening to fluid in my lungs and he's alsolistening to a.Speaker 1 (22:10):Herd in the hypothermy when you were going through a hypothermia.But remember this because we end up getting ifyou ask Christian Tinsley But I would literally theymade a cross on a if you watch the making(22:39):of you'll see across they had a bike seat just I couldn't couldn't stay awake.Then I'd go in the chair because the beard had tobe built because the scourging So they(23:01):had to lay that in and it was hand down.It took an hour I loved it because this manwas massaging my face as I was sleeping and thenyou'd have someone to hold my head I would justsleep in the chair.Speaker 1 (23:16):Well I remember being withyou at a time in Rome when you would comeback after that day and you were in the fulllateex the body it would take another eight hoursto reapply and I remember(23:36):you in the morning it was burning you and youcould they couldn't pull it off.Speaker 2 (23:42):Yes I did take ita two hour after every day I would go inthe shower for two hours and they turn up really hot,and I would start drinking tons of water and what in the heat would startsweat and it would start to separate And then Christian(24:04):Tinsley and his assistant would get in hazmat suits inthis big you know like a regular shower you wouldsee in a locker room and then I had to put this appointment on.All the rubbing caused the skin to you know it's just and.Speaker 1 (24:29):What do you think was the purpose of all ofthat was that to bring you closer to the sufferingthat he actually went through.Speaker 2 (24:35):Oh It was constant torment and just that you'regoing to fail Just the fact that how am Igoing to learn this aramaic I don't have enough time(24:56):in day to even learn it I would go get home andI would go to the gym and I'd start doingbecause I had to make sure that I had tokeep my legs strength up to be able to holdmyself up years of playing basketball and staying in adefensive stance was really actually critical for this role becauseall my weight went into one leg and I'd haveto hold it there for you know Everytime they had a mag then they'd bring the postin and I try to you know And so you know,if you put that heater to close it would melt it.Speaker 1 (26:00):There's a moment in the Passion where you're carrying thecross and it's on screen And I know you were suffering awful duringthat shoot but melt left a chunk of that in.Speaker 2 (26:17):Where you hurt yourself But this(26:38):thing really got the shoulder separator so nowyou're going into the crucifixion scenes and I don't knowif I could pull us off because of this this.Speaker 1 (26:55):That that hurt extending your arm.Speaker 2 (26:57):It's just from that point on it was all Ihad a problem And what happened was they tiedme up and so when that cross is bending itwould go snap and it would throw that shoulder out.So you know the the idea that you and Iwere talking one time and it forced me into the(27:19):arms of my God because I had nowhere else to go.I really it took me back to the movie theater.It took me back to the whole life which is I,I'd like you to be an actor and I andyou felt this was the purpose what wasI was connected to was the fact that the moment(27:41):I learned how much he loved me I was Iwanted to do it for him because I didn't feelI deserved it none of us really do.But the fact that he loved me like that heknew who I was and that that's what that wasmy That was it That was the whole deal for me.Speaker 1 (27:59):There was also a lot improvised on this movie which is such a sweet and beautiful momentwhere Jesus and Mary are together and it's really oneof the few light moments in the Passion but itwasn't originally there.Speaker 2 (28:19):So it was the very first scene I ever donein Aramaic Maya is so beautiful.She came over and she starts speaking to me in Aramaic.She goes right into the scene and I looked ather and I wasn't used to her voice or anything.We didn't even rehearse it She went right into it(28:39):and we were doing the thing with the chairs andsitting at the table kind of lightermoments of it when you look out and you know fulfillment.But it was brilliant that mel put those moments in(29:01):there to kind of lighten it up to well I forgot oh yeah,we got to do the thing where we're walking away.It's just so we did it for through four timesor whatever can you just(29:22):do something you know kind of you know we're and Iwas washed my hands and then went right to herface immediately kissed her And I was able to do(29:44):that like that because of how she wasn't when we met,and there was something very endearing about her And thenjust and then up Mell was like you could hear this.Speaker 1 (29:57):Meaning that good?Speaker 2 (29:58):That's the one that's the Yeah I love it.Speaker 1 (30:02):Do you are you excited.Speaker 2 (30:05):Or worried about.Speaker 1 (30:09):Being on set with my Morgenstern and getting back intothat particular toga again.Speaker 2 (30:19):You went through hell on the first movie Each Other because it was part of thepurpose of why I was born I take it very seriously.A friend of mine made this for me in Magic Goya.On one side On the other side it'sthirty three and I have five diamonds on it and on the top is Saint Benedict's medal.It's a good war against Satan and the forces of evil,and this is a this is a great weapon against evil.(31:05):I was I'm not a sheep I was born tobe either a sheep dog that was a wolf And when you say evil,I look at it because what's in me is greater(31:26):than that Andthe films that we make are controlling the world's narrative.And they did So we did a good job.And so now I get these bonus years But around twenty thirteen was the beginning.On February twenty to feast of my we were at Disneyland.It was my son's birthday And he came to me and heshowed me that you know there's another one and it's coming.(32:15):And this was in twenty thirteen He told me to get this movie.I came on real quick fifteen years when I started innineteen eighty eight to get me to two thousand and(32:36):two when we made it but it just takes the right time.And only got what was the years Jim for the sequel.So going back to years I wouldn't want to work withthat actor because you're not ready.Speaker 1 (33:08):And this is a war a quick free flow beforewe go back to Jim Cavizel in KYSH Suddenly everywhere you look there are faithinflected films on streaming at the cineplex an animated feature retelling the storyof Jesus made nineteen million dollars in its opening weekend(33:32):and it was number two overall The House of Davidwas one of Amazon's most watched series There was afilm about the Virgin Mary on Netflix There's another comingto screens at the end of the year with Cavizlas Herod then there's the Chosen and of course,the most anticipated Jesus film ever Mel Gibson's Resurrection of(33:52):the Christ What amazes me is the industry is alwaysaghast when these films turn up huge audiences in box office.Ye of little faith The challenge is to have the artmatch the subject matter a lot(34:15):of what passes for faith based films has so muchcheese in it you'd swear it were sponsored by Valveda.Speaker 2 (34:23):You know what I mean.Speaker 1 (34:23):A perfect person encounters a little problem they pray toGod that everything turns out okay and they're more perfectby the end of the film It's a hack ofa lot easier to hit those magical God tropes inthe same old way than to dig deep and breaknew artistic ground and layer in human meaning and doubtand conflict and suffering as I've been(34:47):saying for years and years Thisaudience was exposed by Gibson twenty years ago when noone saw religious epic coming But audiences today want somethingmore than sand They want these filmsto have human relationships they can relate to suffering anauthentic recognition of the divine that they feel all around them,(35:11):a supernatural sense of good and evil that only thebest artists they're capable of summoning What I fear isthat Hollywood will start green lighting all kinds of shlockbased on the successes of just a few films they're only around because of the(35:32):success of Cavizl's Sound of Freedom a few summers ago,when that blockbuster crashed in Hollywood took notice and startedtrying to reach that faith audience It's a worthy pursuit,but unless creators have real beliefs and an understanding ofthe sensibilities of that audience they'll never be able toattract and hold them Any Time you touch this kind(35:53):of supernaturally charged material especially a story based in the scriptures,there is a hard anybody involved,and a reminder of the tracks you think you're walkingin and a remembrance of what happened to the first(36:14):guy who got up and told his audience stories orparables that were filled with such truth they struck anerve and rattled consciences It ain't for the fate of heart,but those are the only stories that truly change livesand the world As you'll hear from Jim cavesl whatin your life helped you connect to the suffering of Jesus?Speaker 2 (36:37):What in my life?Speaker 1 (36:38):Yeah I mean we all look to our own livesto connect with these you're lookingwhen did I go through something that was like this,was similar to this Was there anything like that thatyou connected with?Speaker 2 (36:54):Yes but it's just not somethingI want to talk about publicly But I would saythat it was during that time that I reached outto God and said and he did,and he came in a way which he gave me(37:15):my purpose and if and I always I ask people,you know don't ask for power,don't ask for any of that Just ask for apurpose and you may get those things anyway What did you(37:37):learn about Jesus in playing him that you didn't knowwhen this started I always say I never played him.He played me You know the gifts that you have that(37:58):you Many people that go through their lives they neverknow that they could have done something But I was justsaying that if I had gone into West Point I would have.Speaker 1 (38:19):What did you learn about him when it was done Jesus' time We always learned things whenyou particularly when you play a character You know peoplemore intimately after you play them than you do thaneven a historian does because you put them in yoursoul in some ways.Speaker 2 (38:38):Well he was with me when I was on the cross.The last I heard I had this internal internal lucution,and he said And that's whenthe doctor is putting the stethoscope on my heart There's nothing fakery about that.I was freaking and I butI was.Speaker 1 (39:12):I was.Speaker 2 (39:13):I thought first the devil comes and hetakes away your your career butit that went right up to the electrocution There was no enjoyment of that processbecause boom I mean,(39:55):if these are my shoulders and this is my head.I was at this angle Mcaleney walks over and hesprings an umbrella and I'm looking at his handand his hand explodes sparks fly out of his handsbecause another one boom and it waslike my head imploded and then exploded I'm at the end.I'm there's they had a medic truck and they're reading my heart and everything.And then eventually the big surgery I had was well(40:39):when was at the Stanford doctor patch Walla But thendoctor gillen Off and doctor Griffin at Cleveland Clinic savedmy life and two heart surgeries and they I came out of surgery.I had the tubes you know,(41:00):it's it's rough because you're you can't you can't talkand you got all these tubes in your throat and everything,and and all of a sudden boom I It's likesomeone took an egg and cracked it on on thelower right side It just I died right there.Speaker 1 (41:22):Now.Speaker 2 (41:22):Ma us'n coom oh The and everything from that wasthe put the Eucharist next to the camera If you look in my eyes,you'll see a camera and you'll see a Catholic priestFolco sitting exposing the host And how are you preparing(41:45):now for this resurrection?Speaker 1 (41:50):I mean I'll return twenty years later to this world.That really branded and marked your career.Speaker 2 (41:57):So I'm fifty seven But what's crazy about it isjust be the best you can at the age you'reat now the joints that all the years.Speaker 1 (42:16):The good news is you don't have the beating You don't have all of that in this movie.Speaker 2 (42:21):But there's a lot of wisdom left there and it'swhere he needed me to be He'd have done it right after the passion.He would have said I'm also when you're thirty three years old,have you think you're going to be thirty three forever?(42:42):You always be this way or always be I don'tknow why But there's something there that I'm the controllerof my destiny and you're not And I don't control time,and I think that had to be wiped away from me.It's a gift time We have no control over it.I was just reading see Us Lewis today the screwtape(43:04):Big Demons talking to Wormwood those humansthey think they have control of twenty four hours a day.What a bunch of idiots until the end and it's over,and that's where they go he's mine is.I don't want it to get to that I justso maybe that's what Jesus taught you You're not in command,(43:24):and the enormity of the physical suff I shouldn't be where.They tasted a bit of it well The doctorsran into the room and I watched them.Speaker 1 (43:38):I was.Speaker 2 (43:41):Out of body experience Itold them that I watched all of you when youwere in the room when I was dead not all of them believe the way we believe.But they were like they I could tell them everybody.I told them what they were doing in the room.I watched it and I felt the most peace And then they brought meback and then I felt the most pain.Speaker 1 (44:08):Yeah Then you'reback full circle.Speaker 2 (44:11):Moment.Speaker 1 (44:11):Look Thisis Holy Week when everybody spends a moment Christians spendtime meditating on the sufferings of Jesus the passion.Speaker 2 (44:26):When you look up at a crucifix in a church,what goes through your mind Because it takes(44:47):me back to what my perspective on the passion Sothe gift I have is looking from our Lord's perspective,not mine which is what people that don't(45:09):love him I wantedfor people to have an experience that they would knowJesus from watching a movie And I would say tohim why not you come through me And I begged him,begged him over and over again Will you come through me?Will you present yourself to the world but I cansee him and he was sitting in an Indian styleand he was very sad he's not a requirement of you as aCatholic to do this movie And he was so sad when he said it.(45:54):And I said why What am I going to ask you?He wouldn't tell me So when I got my shoulder dislocated,I went down bit through my tongue I said I was in suchpain and I said I don't want them to see me.I only want them to see you And then I(46:18):turned to Marry and I said Dad,completely different scene all the other takes My arm went over and Mills said itwas like a precious child I was in cruciating painto put my arm over It was trying to find(47:00):a better position whatever it takes,if it comes through that the greatest things in lifecome through these horrible pains that you have and ifyou just hang in there and you're ready to goback down that path again That's what all those that's reallythat somebody's of that book is the Saints Isn't that the treasure?Speaker 1 (47:37):Though That that That's what I could have asked themfor anything obviously you'renot the suffering Jesus this time out.Speaker 2 (47:51):This is the resurrected Jesus how do you approach that.I read about it today in the screw tape lettersdoing this recording the divinelight coming through in the present moment Now we know(48:11):of eternity that's coming someday but it's it's staying in this,in this moment When you do that.You know that one's coming but I'm not.He's already putting the the devil is already doing andwhat he has to do to me right now but there's enough to where my coach,(48:35):god Father's son Holy Spirit and all the heaven isalready guiding this right now that will never but Iwas worried on the least one did I fail?I will fail if it get if I get too(48:58):far out of all my skis really,really stay in this moment.Speaker 1 (49:05):As we anticipate the resurrection I was surprised.Speaker 2 (49:08):I want to enjoy this one more than I didthe other one I got too far over my skis.On the other one I was concerned that it wasnot an aramaic you know Just because I don't do it(49:32):in or make doesn't mean Jesus goes away through thesacraments is I won't do it without the sacraments But Ilove that.Speaker 1 (49:46):I've never heard you say that before I'm looking I hope,I'm looking forward to enjoying this one more.Speaker 2 (49:51):Yes so really experiencing the resurrection because you knowyou're not going to get this many shots You know,I'm never going to get another shot at this again.And I remember somebody telling me you should take a journal.I said documented some of(50:13):the stuff that I went through that you know well,now you get another chance.Speaker 1 (50:17):Yeah Yeah,you're in prosthetics for this role.Speaker 2 (50:24):Yeah It was four or five hours every day andthat was the key to it it was I knewhe was aramic and they were like this is how he's because theywere doing that freaking accent today I don't know nobody here can do aramic like(50:47):I could do well He would be meeting with this kingover here from Egypt from right all these other air is,so he wouldn't have he wouldn't sound like any ofthese guys from a local town He would be a king.And when I first started this guy wasa great herod was a great athlete I love the stories of(51:35):you know what And what they did on Bethlehem was nothingshort of pure genocide like the Nazis It was well orchestrated,(51:58):well done And where he was I think hewas like the head guy in Galilee He'd done sucha great job with the shipping and the money His father was murdered and(52:20):taken out by a group of faction and he moved fast.And he's removed all of these and he ended.Speaker 1 (52:27):And he was a great builder They didn't call himheard the grade for nothing.Speaker 2 (52:30):That's right He returned it was putting it back toits old glory So he understood the people and whatwould keep him in power and also the factions of individuals.That why those other kingdoms and areas Masada had tobe built for him to protect him to protect whatwere they?Speaker 1 (52:47):They were fortresses that he could run to.Speaker 2 (52:49):He needed to este based out I got to ask you my royal grande questionsthat I ask everybody.Speaker 2 (52:57):You're ready I'm not good at that.Speaker 1 (53:00):Will be who's the person you most admire?Speaker 2 (53:03):My wife As thoughit's not even have to think about that See thatwas a bad question.Speaker 1 (53:11):Well I'm starting easy.Speaker 2 (53:13):I'm not good at the who's the person you most despise?I've forgiven them another good answer?Speaker 1 (53:23):What is your best feature?Speaker 2 (53:26):Feature notfeature film.Speaker 1 (53:35):What's your best feature as a person as a asan actor?Speaker 2 (53:42):Isn't that a feature It can be anything.Speaker 1 (53:44):It could be a quality it could be a physical trait.What's your best feature?Speaker 2 (53:48):I don't know I haven't thought about it.Speaker 1 (53:50):You know what people would say your eyes they're older,but that's probably what they would say is your best feature?Speaker 2 (53:59):But they're smiling.Speaker 1 (54:00):What depends on if you're the guy you just forgaveor not?Speaker 2 (54:03):I guess I rish eyes or smile they must be up to something exactly exactly The first thing isis is resurrection the film the greatest fear But you got to remember,though it's I was born to do so I'm one(54:48):of the best husband I want to be What is the thing you know that noone else knows I've heard other actors say it before.You know you're going to fail You know that it(55:10):might be the great a gift that you have is that I have toout work on it and then the gift takes overfrom there.Speaker 1 (55:26):What's your favorite book.Speaker 2 (55:28):The one I'm doing right now is Screwtape Letters It'swhat I'm into.Speaker 1 (55:34):It's a lot of fun it's book and it's very wise.Speaker 2 (55:37):Well it's very wise but it's getting me ready forthe Resurrection So I'm breakingit apart and going through it and getting into thethoughts of evil the antithesis of what I'mgoing to be playing And there's something how Jesus works(56:00):is so simple there's a reason why I'm doing it,and it's during Lent Even though you andI are going to go to a nice restaurant after this,I'm not going to have any wine.Speaker 1 (56:11):Oh okay well maybe we won't be going to dinner.Speaker 2 (56:15):What is your biggest regret I don't really have any.Speaker 1 (56:19):You don't have a professional regret a role youshould have taken.Speaker 2 (56:24):No because there were reasons for it at the time.They've worked out no regrets.Speaker 2 (56:31):I would have had a major regret if I hadnot married my wife That would have been and thatalmost happened and.Speaker 1 (56:41):But I.Speaker 2 (56:44):My soul was enough pointed in the right direction wheresomething from above said gave me a bitof a broken heart and said she was in theplan for you And I did.Speaker 1 (56:58):What's the best piece of it vice you ever got?Speaker 2 (57:02):I was talking to this this old priest and he says Well,that's a good.Speaker 1 (57:13):Piece of advice like somepeople get into drugs and they go just one time.But if I think you measure that just look at the peoplethat they couldn't get rid of it I was workingon a movie called Pay It Forward and I went(57:45):down to First Avenue and I was with the peoplethat were heroin addictions and they're all going to die.And the man that was working with me was helooked like he was in a concentration camp and he was teaching me how toput the out looks And I watched all of them.(58:11):But I hear people talking about all the time whenthey say this is a pay it forward program orwe're going to pay it forward I played a heroin addict andI think of that guy and so I always prayfor him when this is over I'm so happy that my children get to see,you know It's the only white way that(58:53):this thing is going to work.Speaker 1 (58:55):But what happens when this is over.Speaker 2 (58:58):When this is over Maybe play a little golf.Speaker 1 (59:13):We're going to go out to dinner That's what happenswhen this is over.Speaker 2 (59:17):Thank you Jim.Speaker 1 (59:20):Here's the hole what you and I can take fromJim Cavizl's path Thephysical discipline he imposes on himself and the spiritual discipline,which he credits for his greatest performances maintaining these bodiesthe only instruments we really have and then spending time(59:42):with God to figure out what he's calling you toand how you get there Those elements are critical.Speaker 2 (59:50):It's not just for.Speaker 1 (59:50):Actors playing Jesus The hardest part,I guess is the mystery of suffering that Jim hascertainly tasted We all experience when striving to do great things.The hardship at times redirects and deepens our work.Speaker 2 (01:00:07):I think for the better.Speaker 1 (01:00:09):It certainly purifies your intentions and maybe that's why it'sthere in the first place That is fantastic advice.Thank you for spending time with us I hope you'llcome back to Royo Grande soon Why live a dry,constricted trickle of a life when if you fill it(01:00:29):with good things I'm Raymond Arroyo.Happy Easter and make sure to subscribe and

go' after missing '24 seasonFebruary 28th GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It should have been a routine pickoff play for Reds shortstop prospect Arroyo was leading off first base when a pickoff throw came He dove back and extended his left arm reaching for the bag Then he didn't get up after he had jammed his shoulder “I thought I’d be ready in two weeks, but the MRI didn’t say that. I had to deal with it," said the 21-year-old Arroyo, who is ranked No. 92 overall in 2025 by MLB Pipeline Arroyo's MRI revealed a torn labrum in his left shoulder and the surgery that followed cost him the entire 2024 season The plan entering last season was for Arroyo to open at Double-A Chattanooga and see what happens the switch-hitter batted .252 with a .757 OPS 60 RBIs and 29 stolen bases over 123 games with High-A Dayton and Chattanooga a freak injury cost Arroyo a season's worth of development Arroyo spent the time rehabbing at the Goodyear complex with a lot of time on his hands Arroyo often worked out and rehabbed with Matt McLain, who also had left shoulder surgery during Spring Training that cost him the whole season both players were healthy enough to appear in some games at the Arizona Fall League whether it was for him or for us -- just the health," Reds player development director Jeremy Farrell said "He went out and made all the plays -- diving Said Arroyo: “I was pleased I could just play again In part because of his defensive prowess at shortstop, Arroyo was the player most coveted by the Reds when they acquired four prospects from the Mariners in the July 29, 2022, trade for ace Luis Castillo Cincinnati also got third baseman Noelvi Marte and pitchers Levi Stoudt and Andrew Moore in the deal This spring is Arroyo's second big league camp and it's a redux of last year getting into Cactus League games most often as a sub and preparing to open the 2025 season at Chattanooga Reds manager Terry Francona noticed that defensively Arroyo doesn't look like someone who missed a whole year "He looks like a guy that is extremely comfortable as a defender," Francona said "And if I could catch the ball like that He’s got the actions of a really good defender He’s a really fun kid to watch though … You can’t replace 500 at-bats Those are really important for young kids.” One question looming over Arroyo's development since the Reds traded for him has been where he might fit on the future big league roster already has a shortstop in Elly De La Cruz and the club has resisted any thoughts of moving the budding superstar to the outfield De La Cruz can also play third base but hasn't been there since his 2023 rookie year we’re playing the same position,’ and just leave it there," Arroyo said "It will be good if we play on the same team Lynette Ortiz grasping at straws?

While it would be nice for Seattle to take another high-quality guard or center the team is also able to take the best player available midway through round two This might have meant a wide receiver or a cornerback The oddly good part of the 2025 draft is that there are few players expected to be stars We won't know how well (or poorly) for a couple of seasons One cannot judge a draft pick on one season While Schneider's first draft without Pete Carroll last year was iffy, this draft he seems to be cooking. Taking Zabel in the first round was brilliant, and trading up to choose safety Nick Emmanwori in the second round was almost as good Adding tight end Elijah Arroyo at pick 50 meant Schneider was three-for-three in the 2025 draft He is also big enough to develop into someone who can block well He only had 35 receptions last season with Miami but the Hurricanes' offense was not designed well for him That will change under Seattle's new offensive coordinator Kubiak needs tight ends who can catch and run Veteran Noah Fant does that but has just one season left on his contract Seattle could even still release him and save almost $9 million While Schneider's first draft without Pete Carroll last year was iffy, this draft he seems to be cooking. Taking Zabel in the first round was brilliant, and trading up to choose safety Nick Emmanwori in the second round was almost as good Arroyo Grande is looking for its next chief of police The City states Chief Michael Martinez will be retiring effective May 30 Chief Martinez has been in law enforcement for 22 years serving with the Arroyo Grande Police Department (AGPD) since 2005 in various roles including police and motorcycle traffic officer field training and school resource officer Also a member of the San Luis Obispo Regional SWAT Team Martinez worked with the Grover Beach Police Department prior to coming to AGPD and embraced the integration of progressive technology and best practices – all while ‘Ensuring Quality of Life',” the City stated in a press release Martinez is also involved in many community organizations serving as a board member for the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition Transitions Mental Health Association and Arroyo Grande Community Hospital Foundation “The greatest part about being the Police Chief has been watching the development and accomplishments of the members of the Department I am inspired by the men and women of the Arroyo Grande Police Department who exemplify the very best in law enforcement It has been a privilege to lead them as Chief of Police for the past five years.,” Martinez said in a press release “He has been an instrumental member of the City’s executive team and has provided invaluable leadership to the Arroyo Grande Police Department Chief Martinez has been influential in helping ensure that the City's law enforcement agency is a leader in the community and carries out the highest standards of performance We are grateful for Chief Martinez's dedication to the City We wish him well in his retirement," City Manager Matthew Downing said in the same release will serve as interim police chief following Martinez’s retirement while the city works to recruit for the position General manager John Schneider showed consistent interest in tight ends throughout the pre-draft process and he pounced on Arroyo's availability with a top 50 selection Arroyo was impactful while playing alongside No 1 overall quarterback Cam Ward this past season The athletic pass catcher recorded 35 receptions for 590 yards and seven touchdowns Arroyo measured in at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds at the NFL Combine Arroyo will contend for snaps immediately in Klint Kubiak's new-look offense with Sam Darnold at quarterback The Seahawks have veteran Noah Fant atop the tight end depth chart but he's at risk of forfeiting snaps to Arroyo and AJ Barner Due to the talent the Seahawks possess at the position first-year expectations should be realistic Arroyo possesses enough athleticism as a mismatch nightmare to make the occasional big play in the passing game but he'll probably rotate in behind Fant and Barner when all parties are available Texas native was limited by injuries throughout 2022 and 2023 Arroyo finally maintained a clean bill of health throughout 2024 He must carry that momentum over to his rookie campaign in Seattle A Utah family living south of Salt Lake City is making headlines after being arrested and indicted on federal charges in connection with a scheme to smuggle crude oil from Mexico into the United States James Jensen and his wife Kelly were booked into the Salt Lake County Jail after authorities executed an arrest warrant at their $9.1 million mansion The couple is accused of conspiring to smuggle 2,881 shipments of crude oil from Mexico A person close to the situation who requested anonymity due to cartel involvement told KSL 5 TV that the U.S Marshals Violent Fugitive Apprehension Team showed up at their 26,893-square-foot mansion in Sandy District Court in Utah claim that James and Kelly Jensen conspired to "launder proceeds from the sale of illegally imported crude oil" on behalf of Mexican criminal organizations Records indicate that payments for the oil were funneled to businesses in Mexico believed to be controlled by drug cartels and that James Jensen was aware of these connections The Jensen family owns and operates a crude oil trading company in Rio Hondo, Texas, a small community about 30 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
