The proposal is to expose cluster membership as a virtual filesystem and use that as the primary membership interface? So that, e.g., a server on the cluster does a getdents to find out what nodes are in the cluster or uses inotify to learn about membership changes, instead of subscribing for and receiving membership events directly from the cluster membership manager? Or what is this about, just providing a nice friendly view of the cluster to the administrator, not intended to be used by cluster infrastructure components? Regards, Daniel

Below is the poem entitled Where Feelings Hide which was written by poet
Irvin. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Dylan Irvin
This love for you has slowly died down
My mind learned to hide, but it's always found
This love for you has slowly gone astray
My mind turned to follow, but then walked away
Through an open water deeply locked
I lay lifeless on this water floor
Hoping and wishing for something more
The lights they flicker and shadows bend
My nights get sicker as we near the end
Rain drops splatter and ripple on the liquid moon
The melting sky calls upon me tonight
I know responsibilities will be here soon
This will change who I am, so that's alright
Once when I was young I used to dream the moon stole the ocean floor
And that everything on Earth sank into it's own dying core
This choice is for the new life almost here
And there's been thousands of days in this year
So I think I'll head for the horizon and tread to the shore
Needing to flee the sea and focus on me and nothing more
So I offer these numb feelings to the swaying tide
Ocean forever hide me where feelings can hide
Wherever it is that feelings hide
I don't care how, just take me to that same core
These feelings, now I can't feel them anymore
And they're left behind with nothing but words

I don't have Fermi card yet, but Charlie's article doesn't make me feel bad about the prospect even if every word is true.
Here's why:
5% faster overall than a HD5870: 5870s are very fast cards, 5% faster wouldn't suck. It would be approximately the speed of a GTX295, which would be in line with pretty much every other next gen launch I can remember. (little faster in some games, little slower in others than last gen SLi)
Double the DX11 performance of a 5870: that speaks for itself, just amazing. If single chip NV offers double chip ATi DX11, imagine what double chip NV will offer? ZOMG
Hotter: Yawn. I'm a freaking enthusiast. I don't try to stuff my expensive parts into an old Compaq desktop case with one fan.
Power: Again yawn. For the same reasons I have good cases, I have good power supplies. I advise all people who want to run high end graphics and CPUs to do the same.
Cost/losing money: As much as I like my buddies at NVIDIA, I won't lose sleep if they lose money selling consumer GTX480s at first. My guess is a. they'll figure a way to make money anyway, perhaps with those excellent Quadros that totally own the professional market b. they'll make more money with each revision c. the closer they are to ATi pricing, the more cards they'll sell as they are the market leader with the name recognition in the masses anyway.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I bet if someone was REALLY bored they could go through my old posts find me "predicting" that when Fermi launches, ATi guys will be back to saying "NVIDIA cards cost too much to make! NVIDIA cards are too hot!"
Guess I can see the future, just like Charlie.
Where the hell did you get double the DX11 performance.....
Pretty big jump to go from double performance in one section of the heaven demo that's tessellation limited....to broadly painting Fermi as having double the dx11 performance....which it won't have.
Charlie also indicates that the reason the entire benchmark wasn't shown was due to Fermi running the benchmark with "glitches" and that DX11 isn't "all there" yet.
Not saying Charlie is gospel...but whoever his sources @ nV are....he's been right about Fermi pretty much since last sept...

07/03 Decades of Hatred, Accusations and Altercations: A Fight for Custody That's Tearing a Mother and Daughter Apart
Marsha says she fought for -- and won -- custody of her grandsons because of what she calls her daughter, Brooke's, dangerous, drug-using lifestyle. Now she says her relationship with her daughter is filled with mistrust, false accusations of abuse and bitter resentment. Marsha says she's afraid to be around Brooke because she is often violent, and Marsha has called the police on her three times. Brooke admits she has used drugs in the past but says she is trying to make up for her mistakes and be a better mother -- but Marsha makes it difficult. She claims Marsha is abusive to the boys, locks them in the basement and isolates them from friends and family -- all of which Marsha denies. Dr. Phil sits everyone down in search of answers -- can this mother and daughter resolve their conflict? (OAD: 4-6-15)

Doll Quilt Swap 9
Hi there! I've been working behind the scenes here on my challenge for the week – I hope you have gotten started on your challenge too! Today I am enjoying the last day with my girls, before 1st and 5th grade begins. How is the summer gone already!?
Over the weekend I received my Doll Quilt from Marilyn, aka Spiced Coffee on Flickr!
Look at this beauty–
I even hung it on the wall in our living room – the colors are a perfect compliment. Oh, and look at her beautiful hand quilting, and appliqué —
Marilyn also sent stickers for my kids, this fun book and adorable pot holders —
One of the potholders says, "When I learned to sew, I forgot how to cook!" and the other, "A clean house is the … Read More »
Garden Spikes Quilt Tutorial
Not here! I'm over at Fat Quarterly today sharing this free pattern too!
Garden Spikes is my original quilt pattern made with the fabulous Fandango prints!
Balanced Connections Quilt & Pattern
Hi friends ~ I've had a full few days, getting this pattern ready, de-stashing, and upgrading my blog! What do you think? I'm really excited to learn more about this blog and all that it can do. I am also excited to show you my Balanced Connections quilt, I really love this design!
It's a little hard to see in this picture, but the binding on the right, that's my favorite part. I pieced one strip of each of the colors into the binding – the little bits of color are just what it needed! The throw finishes at 60″x72″ – officially my favorite size quilt.
Ella was "helping" me, and was popping her foot in when possible…I just love how the quilting shows up in this photo, and … Read More »
Challenge Quilt Complete
Hi friends :) I hope you had a great weekend! We spent ours in Dinosaur, camping with the kids. I'll have to tell you about it later this week. Right now I want to show you the mini quilt I made for a design challenge with the local guild.
I was given this page from a seed catalog, and given instruction to take inspiration for a quilt from it. I mentioned before that I really liked the picture on the left, with the shadows and variety of green…Here's the finished product ::
The most artsy quilt I've made to date! I first put in the lines, thinking about the vines, while not straight vines do offer structure and support. Then I added as much haphazard free motion quilting as I could in order to keep all my circles in place.

Simple Times Quilt Pattern
Hi there! Another finish for me – I hope you enjoy seeing another new quilt :)
I'm setting on a new path, I hope you will join me! I have a pattern to offer you and I hope to have more in the coming months too. This is a quilt that I originally designed to use my scraps from another project. I call it Simple Times –
This is a small lap quilt, 52″ x 52″ and can be made with a layer cake (10″ squares) and charm pack (5″ squares) or yardage of your choice. Instructions for cutting and piecing the quilt top are included for both.
I pieced this top with Oz fabrics, and I love the bright colors! I had two friends test it, Amber did a scrappy version, and Heather made her's in Blush. I hope that you … Read More »
Hunky Bars — Quilt Tutorial
Hi there! I'm pretty sure most of us quilters have to do lists miles long, so long in fact, it gets overwhelming. I have a fast, easy, super cute quilt that you can finish in a couple days! Most of you could probably figure this out – but I already did all the math for you, no thinking, just cut and sew this quilt! Show off the prints you love most :)
Hunky Bars – 60″ x 62″ – you do get the play on words, right!?
My quilt is made with six beautiful Hunky Dory prints, use the same prints or raid your stash for your favorite prints that you can't cut into, but would love to have a quilt with! I've simply numbered the fabrics so that you can decide which works best for you – be creative!

Natalie's Quilt — Finished!
Well taking a picture outside, with only little helpers, wasn't working today. It's very windy – so I found the best indoor spot and snapped a quick pic of most of the quilt! Then moved to the kitchen where I have lots of good light for the rest.To see all of it – check this post out.
I worked through a couple of options for quilting, but came back to a quick stipple. I managed to quilt it in just a few hours :)We used a couple of coordinating Kona cottons to back it – do you see them peeking out?I love dots for bindings!I used the alphabet on my machine to make a label this morning too.I love the color palette and the simplicity of the design – now I just have to send it off to … Read More »
The Quilted Quilt
Usually I wait until I have bound and washed a quilt to post, but this quilting was so inspired and I love it! I had actually thought I would be selling this quilt, as my girls are no longer babies (and I'm not having more!). BUT, Sophia claimed it, we "tried it on" her, and after all the quilting I've grown pretty attached to it. It will be staying here! Even Joe mentioned it would be a little sad to sell it since I've put so much effort/time into it!
Here it is – do you see my addition?
There's a heart, stippled right there –There's a bit of puckering on one side of the heart – if I do it again I would do the heart first. Live and learn :) I'm hoping it … Read More »
16 : : A Finish!
I have to tell you up front – I'm going to stray from my picture format for the month. I just have to gush about this quilt, and the journey it has taken me on!
The making/piecing of the top, was straightforward and a breeze!More of the challenge came when it was time to select thread for quilting, decide on fabrics for the back, and mentally preparing myself to quilt it!I knew that it needed curves and movement in the quilting – it was crying out for it. But I was determined to have a solid plan before setting to quilt it. In the end it was Cheryl's comment that made everything click for me!
"Take one of the floral patterns from your fabric and use as an inspirational repeat. You could do it in each block, or as … Read More »
Wonderland Finished Quilt
I love polka dot bindings and could not resist this shot – or a couple of others over in my flickr. I took pictures of the entire quilt but realized that on the computer it looks the same as the unquilted picture – so I took some close ups! Loop-de-loop quilting adds to the whimsy of the fabrics – at least I think so :)
For the back I chose the patchwork print, in jam. It has lots of teal and green, along with mulberry, yellow, brown, red and the mauvey pink of course!
And because Owen was patient while I took pictures this afternoon – he got in with the quilt too! My kids love seeing themselves in the window after I have taken their picture :)
While stitching down the binding this morning I was brainstorming up … Read More »
Doll Quilt Swap 6
So I peeled myself away from the computer for most of the day and managed to get some quilting taken care of. Feels good too!
For DQS, the partners are secret – it's fun as you never know who or where your quilt is coming from. I got some ideas from their favorites and slowly developed my plan. I love the end result!
I also finished a quilt for the STUD swap I signed up for this month – but need to wait to share it :) Next up – my swap blocks! I've drafted my plans, I just need to find a couple of quiet hours.
Blessings ~Amy
Squares Askew — Complete!
I hope that you aren't getting bored of this pattern! I love the simplicity of it and how I'm able to show off the fabulous prints with this pattern :)
I love the back, almost as much as the front! I even used the alphabet on my machine to make a label – trying to be better about labeling. I stitched it down with my machine too, as it is a baby quilt, and I figure will be washed lots – mine always have been :)
This will be in my etsy shop soon, it's a custom order, but I have others if you are interested, and I'm willing to do custom – obviously. he he
I hope you have a good day/evening — no fooling :)Amy

I am getting quite a bit of flack from friends for watching the TLC show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." I just think it's a fun little show.
The show is very popular. I am just jumping on the bandwagon. It is a phase, believe me.
But, while I am in this phase, I thought it would be fun to find out what my name would be if I were a member of "Honey Boo Boo's" family. They have a Honey Boo Boo Name Generator on Facebook.
When I ran my name through it, it came back with "Kabob Mae Mae"......and Brian was "Bug Pie."
What is your Honey Boo Boo name? Find out. Just click below:

Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos came away with the AFC West division crown in remarkable fashion last season. However, if Denver lands Peyton Manning during this 2012 NFL Free Agency frenzy, and the move makes the Broncos a tougher team (as expected), Philip Rivers says he would like to see it happen. The San Diego Chargers star signal-caller told San Diego's XX 1090 radio, via the Denver Post (PFT reports) that he hopes to see the deal get done because he would covet the challenge of facing Manning twice each season. "It would make it that much tougher to win the West," Rivers said. "All the sudden, at least from a media's perspective, it would become a division that's not lost in the shuffle like it's been in years past. I kind of hope that that's the case just because it's always fun to play a Peyton Manning-led football team." "To play him twice a year that would be a battle like crazy to win the division," Rivers added. I hope it happens. One thing you know about him, he

How long does it take for the Nuva Ring to get out of your system for you to become pregnant?
I have been on the Nuva Ring on and off for about 2 years. I have stopped using it as of Feb.26. I am wondering how long it would take for it to get out of my system for me to become pregnant? Anyone used it and gotten pregnant right after they got off of it? Any info about the ring, and getting pregnant shortly after using it would help. I have a 3 year old, and was on depo before I got pregnant with him. It took 5 months after my last shot to get pregnant!

The hormones from the Nuvaring would stop after a few hours. The depo shot is long acting, very different from the Nuvaring. You can ovulate right away (within a few days) after removing it or it could take a few months. Depends on your body.posted 03/16/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I was on the nuva ring for 2 years. The first month after taking it out, on the day of my missed period I had pregnancy symptoms like crazy (bloating, extremely sensitive / sore nipples) but the HPT was neg. and 2 weeks later I got my period. Immediately the month after that first period stopped we started trying and on the day of my missed period, I found out I was pregnant.posted 11/22/2011 by FirstPregnancyAMV
Im not sure, but I think it take at least a month of a menstral cycle afterwards for it to work because the ring is like the bc pills and they says the same abt the pills... I would call yr doc to find out and then start trying :)posted 03/13/2010 by babbina
I have stopped using my nuva ring at the end of june and i had 1 regular cycle in the middle of july and i got pregnant the end of july and found out i was a week before af was due in aug. i am now 3 1/2 months pregnant with baby number 2. it was very interesting because i was not planned at all it happened so fast and it really shocked me. i think it all depends on you personally. my ob told me that once i removed my nuva ring that i could get pregnant almost instantly and that it makes you more fertile. well she was right i just did not believe her because i only have one fallopian tube and i truly thought it was going to be twice as hard to conceive. everyone is different what make have came quicky for me maky notbe the case for everyone and again i wasnt trying so i am not sure if that was quick or not. wasn't going to start actively trying to conceive until wedding day which was suppose 2b 10/19/13 but things came up so now we shall see what happens next.posted 09/26/2013 by blessed_mami09
Took me no time to get pregnant after using the NuvaRing. I had the copper IUD paragard (no hormones) for 5 years after giving birth to my son. I had it taken out so I could have another baby. My cycle is irregular so I got on Nuvaring to regulate it before trying to conceive. I had the paragard taken out on 8/7/14. I started NuvaRing on 8/14. I got my period on 9/7. I did not put the NuvaRing back in after my period. I got pregnant some time around 9/21 - 9/25. I found out I was about 5 or 6 weeks 10/13.posted 01/15/2015 by GGBabie
They say that you have to leave it in for 21 days to stop ovulation that month. If I took it out after 16 days and then after it being out for 4 days had unprotected sex. What are the chances I am pregnant or has anyone else dealt with this?posted 12/15/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I used the nuva ring for 6 years and once I took it out to try to concieve it took 1 month for me to get pregnant! :)posted 11/04/2014 by sammy327
I have been on birth control since I was 16, first the pill, then the patch, and finally the nuvaring. (total of 6 years). I removed my nuvaring June 30, 2014. I didn't have a period until October 6, 2014 and it only lasted for 3 days. It was very light and I never needed anything more than a panty liner. I did however have TERRIBLE cramps and bloating. I ovulated October 20/21. So we will see in a few weeks whether or not I'm pregnant! :)posted 10/22/2014 by StaceVaughan
i was on nuva ring for almost 2yrs i took it out last year the end of june and 2wks later i had my cycle and i got pregnant 2wks later found out i was pregnant with my now 4 month old baby girl on aug 12th 2013. i honestly think it depends on the person. my ob said you will fertile as soon as it comes out like that following month and she was right for me anyways.posted 08/23/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I would be cautious about TTC before first cycle. I have 2 children. In between them I got pregnant firdt month and miscarried. I was lucky enough to get pregnant again 4 weeks after d&c withy daughter Today I had another miscarriage of a pregnancy that was conceived first month off the ring. Hoping to get pregnant as soon as I did last time. Just wish I would have been patient.posted 08/19/2014 by a BabyCenter Member

In mid-March, opponents of a casino at Arundel Mills mall appeared to have enough signatures to force a voters' referendum in November on the largest site of the state's fledging slots effort.
According to its Web site, the Anne Arundel County Board of Elections had accepted 19,054 signatures — more than the necessary 18,970 — on a petition to place a slots referendum on the fall ballot. The petition sought to overturn a hard-won zoning measure to allow a 4,750-machine parlor to be built on a mall parking lot.Slots opponents submitted 40,407 signatures.
"We have in excess of the threshold at this juncture," said Tom Chuckas, president of the Maryland Jockey Club, which financed the referendum effort sponsored by Citizens Against Slots at the Mall. "This says to us that the people who signed the petition believe that the facility is not properly located at a mall. We supported a position that was supported by Anne Arundel County residents. The referendum will stand and win."

HK News
August 1, 2014By Rick Horrow and Karla SwatekAs this year's PGA Championship tees off at Valhalla Golf Club, the host city of Louisville, Kentucky, can expect to benefit by having the event. The Louisville region could generate up to a $100 million economic impact from the golf season's fourth major. Golf's annual economic impact across the nation is close to $70 billion and supports two million jobs. In Louisville in particular, the PGA Championship has created more than 1,000 jobs, some lasting up to eight weeks. The event also will generate about $2.5 million in tax revenue for the region. Beyond the competition, golf tournaments are renowned for the charitable endeavors, and the PGA Championship is no exception. This year's PGA Championship will raise about $500,000 for local and regional charities. Golf's national charitable impact is nearly $4 billion, which is more than the NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB combined.

42 year old woman | Atlanta, GA, USA | Seeking women 32-45 within 100 miles
Get busy living...
So let's try this again--I moved to ATL 3 years ago from Brooklyn, NY. I'm finally used to living here and want to take the next steps towards building a happy and meaningful life. I'm a non-pretentious, down-to-earth chick with a sense of humor and occasional edge. I'm outgoing (and down-right charming at times), but at my core I really am an introvert and tend to be a quiet person. I'm looking for someone who is easy-going, down-to-earth and open-minded. I'm attracted to confident--not arrogant, genuine--not judgmental, worldly--not pretentious people. That said, attraction and chemistry are really important too. So, if you don't have a profile picture posted, please don't bother reaching out. Let's see, what else... I like watching drama--not creating it I prefer films over movies (although my friends say that I'm a sucker for 2.5 star movies) I enjoy board and card games--I can get down with game night I'm a big fan of placemats and coasters--seriously, I don't know how anyone can go without I have a dog and 2 cats I don't follow/watch sports (I could care less about football season) I don't like ice cream I can be particular about where I sit in a restaurant My facial expressions get me into trouble sometimes I drive a stick shift and have trouble obeying speed limits I learned another lesson from life the other day
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing

They arrive unheralded, seemingly out of nowhere, streaking across the sky like a baseball comet, only to quickly vanish into the outer reaches of the universe.
Welcome to the role of major-league closer, Milwaukee Brewers style.
Mike DeJean. Dan Kolb. Derrick Turnbow. Salomon Torres.
And now John Axford.
Here today, gone tomorrow. Snakes shed their skin less often than Brewers closers go from top of the heap to garage sale.
No team has done a better job of creating closers out of thin air. Kolb had one career save when the Brewers signed him at age 28 at the start of the 2003 season. The next year, he set the franchise record with 39 saves.
Just as quickly as Kolb was shuffled off to Atlanta, Turnbow arrived on the scene as a waiver claim from the Anaheim Angels. Quickly becoming a fan favorite, Turnbow matched Kolb's record in 2005, then began melting down the next season and was replaced by midseason acquisition Francisco Cordero.
In 2007, Turnbow was used as a setup man for Cordero, who set a club record with 44 saves. Cordero took that performance to the bank and signed a free-agent deal with Cincinnati for $46 million for four years.
The next year, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin took a one-year, $10 million flier on once-great closer Eric Gagne, who didn't wait before turning to goo. He quickly was removed from ninth-inning duty and 36-year-old journeyman Torres took over as closer, performing well enough for the Brewers to snap a 26-year playoff drought.
Torres retired, so Melvin decided to see what future Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman had left in his tank at age 42. Hoffman's changeup remained magnificent in 2009 (37 saves) but he finally reached the end of his rope the next season, prompting manager Ken Macha to give Axford his shot.
Axford immediately took to the role, converting 24 saves that season before putting together a historic 2011 campaign that helped the Brewers claim their first National League Central crown. The "Ax Man" converted a franchise-record 46 saves, including a remarkable 43 in a row to end the season.
And what a story Axford was. Dumped by the Yankees after pitching in the low minors. Signed by the Brewers in a tryout camp. Close to pitching his way out of the organization with bouts of wildness before finally harnessing his high-90s fastball and knee-buckling breaking ball.
Then, like many before him, Axford started leaking oil. He pitched his way in and out of the closer's role on multiple occasions in 2012, finishing with 35 saves but also leading the majors with nine blown saves. Axford began this season in the closer's role but quickly was removed after surrendering a series of alarming home runs — the same problem he experienced the previous year — in the first week of the season.
This time, Axford would not get another shot at closing. Close friend and fellow Canadian Jim Henderson took over, and when he was injured, Francisco Rodriguez — whose fate seemed linked with Axford over the past two years — began closing games with success.
When Rodriguez was traded to Baltimore, Henderson returned to closing. Axford was used earlier in games and appeared primed to bounce back strong when he reeled off 23 consecutive scoreless outings over one stretch. But, continuing a frustrating pattern, he lost it again in recent weeks and was used more often than not when the Brewers trailed in games.
Axford was 0 for 6 in save opportunities this season. Having dramatically increased his salary to $5 million in his first year of arbitration, he was profiling as a non-tender in the off-season. You can cut a player's salary by only 20% while under team control and the Brewers weren't about to commit $4 million to a reliever often relegated to mop-up duty.
So, when the St. Louis Cardinals showed interest in Axford to add to their bullpen for the playoff push, Melvin decided it was time to get what he could rather than see the popular right-hander walk away over the winter. The Brewers will receive a player to be named later while also getting some $890,000 relief in Axford's remaining salary.
What makes closers flame out so quickly?
"I think it's because everybody expects you to be perfect out there," said Melvin. "It's the only job in baseball like that. Nobody expects hitters to be perfect, or starting pitchers to be perfect. There's a lot of failure in those roles.
"But you can't have failure in the closer's role. He's expected to save every game. When he doesn't, he gets chastised and booed. That's what makes somebody like Mariano Rivera so special.
"I always say that anybody can save 30 games. It's the next 15 to 18 that are the tough ones. I don't think it's the pressure as much as having such a small margin for error. When the other team has a walk-off win, the closer is the only guy on the field who feels personally responsible.
"It's an unusual role. I liken it to a placekicker in football. When he misses a kick at the end of the game, everybody says he lost the game. But they go through slumps, too. When a closer goes through a slump, there's no patience. Everybody wants him out of there."
Though a manager prefers one closer to go to every time, Melvin said it behooves a team to have multiple candidates for the ninth inning. After Axford was removed as closer, the Brewers had Rodriguez, then Henderson.
Melvin believes Axford can turn it around in St. Louis after making a deal within the division that admittedly made him nervous.
"I think their ballpark will help him a little bit," said Melvin. "There was some risk in doing it."
Axford, who had been increasingly hurt by home runs in recent years (20 in 2012-'13), has allowed 25 in the majors. Sixteen came at Miller Park and five more at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park, two venues in which the ball flies. He has not allowed any in 16 career appearances at Busch Stadium.
The trend continues
Now we'll see if Henderson can break the Brewers' pattern of a closer coming out of nowhere, excelling for a brief period, then vanishing. He certainly qualifies as an unlikely candidate to save games, having spent 10 years in the minors before finally getting a shot in the majors last year.
This season, Henderson is pitching as a 30-year-old rookie. With a high 90s fastball and a slider he uses to keep hitters honest, he has done a remarkable job, converting 22 of 25 saves (all three blown saves came while pitching in the eighth inning as a setup man) and holding opponents to a puny .186 batting average.
Henderson has shown calmness under pressure and is able to do what most top closers do with games on the line — strike batters out (57 in 491/3 innings).
"It's nice I can get back to that role and get in a groove again," said Henderson. "That's a big part of the ninth inning, getting a comfort level and groove again, just like when a hitter is seeing the ball well.
"You want as many save opportunities as you can get because that means we're winning. You've just got to calm your nerves when you're out there. The more opportunities I get, the more comfortable I feel out there. Those are the moments you have to try to thrive on.
"If you do bad, you've got to forget it. You have to try to reset after every outing and go out there fresh the next time. Be ready to come back tomorrow."
Finding the right fit
With rookie outfielder Khris Davis showing he can be an offensive contributor at the big-league level, the Brewers already are mulling ways to get him in the lineup for 2014. The main issue is that Davis is considered primarily a leftfielder because of a below-average throwing arm.
The Brewers tried Davis at first base in instructional ball a couple of years ago and said it didn't go well. If they don't revisit that possibility, they'll have to find a spot for him in the outfield.
In that regard, here are the two options: Move Ryan Braun, who has a stronger throwing arm, to right field, opening left field for Davis. Or move Davis to right field and live with his substandard throwing arm there.
Either move affects rightfielder Norichika Aoki, on whom the Brewers have a club option for '14 for a mere $1.5 million. If Braun moves to right, Aoki would become either a bench player or possible trade bait over the offseason. If the right-handed-hitting Davis moves to right, perhaps the left-handed-hitting Aoki could still get playing time there.
A third option of moving Braun to first base seems a bit extreme at this point, asking an all-star player to try to learn a completely different position from the outfield.
"They've tried (Davis) at first base and it didn't go well," said manager Ron Roenicke. "I don't know why. I really didn't ask that much about it. But with what we're seeing and if we continue to see this, we're going to have some discussions about what we can do.
"He does a good job in the outfield. He runs down the ball well. I think I could put him in right field and not worry about it. The arm, it's not a rightfielder's arm. But how often does that really come up? It doesn't come up enough to where you can't put him out there and start him in right field for a few (games). You've got to look at it for a season."
League of his own
The gap in pitching between the Class AAA level and the major leagues has never been greater. As Exhibit A, we submit Eugenio Velez, a journeyman infielder playing for the Brewers' Class AAA Nashville affiliate.
Entering the final Saturday of the Pacific Coast League season, Velez had reached base in 33 consecutive games — the longest streak in the league this year. He had a 19-game hitting streak, during which he was batting .346.
Signed by the Brewers for Nashville in late June, the 31-year-old Velez was batting .363 with a .427 on-base percentage in August.
This is the same Eugenio Velez who went hitless in 2011 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, finishing the season 0 for 37. It was the most at-bats in one season for a non-pitcher without a hit, erasing the 0-for-35 mark by Hal Finney with Pittsburgh in 1936.
But it gets better. Toss in the nine hitless at-bats in which Velez finished the 2010 season with San Francisco and he went 0 for 46 overall, breaking the major-league record of 45 consecutive hitless at-bats established by Bill Bergen for Pittsburgh in 1909, then matched by Dave Campbell for San Diego and St. Louis in 1973 and the Brewers' Craig Counsell earlier in 2011.
MLB: Boston RF Shane Victorino
Victorino homered twice, smacked a two-run double, walked and was hit by a pitch, reaching base five times Tuesday in a 13-2 romp over Baltimore, finishing with a career-high seven RBI and scoring four runs. The two-homer night gave him 100 for his career.
BREWERS: 2B Scooter Gennett
Entering the final game of the month Saturday, Gennett was batting .405 (30 for 74) in August, the top batting average in the National League. He had hit safely in 19 of his last 21 games (.411, 4 HRs, 9 RBI) and had a five-game hitting streak (.381).
Tigers at Red Sox: Monday-Wednesday. Possible playoff preview.
Rangers at A's: Monday-Wednesday. The wild, wild West.
Cardinals at Reds: Monday-Thursday. Big series for Cincy.
Red Sox at Yankees: Friday-Sunday. Never a dull moment.
After their weekend dip into the interleague pool against the Angels, the Brewers jump back into the thick of the NL Central action with a three-game series against the Pirates, beginning with a 1:10 p.m. Labor Day special. After an off-day Thursday, it's off to Chicago to play the Cubs.
The Kansas City Royals went 15-4 against Minnesota this season, a franchise record for most victories against a single opponent. The Royals had gone 14-4 in 1975 against Texas and California, and 14-5 against Detroit in 2003.
Seattle ace Felix Hernandez has dominated many teams during his big-league career but Texas is not one of them. By allowing a career-high eight earned runs in three innings Wednesday against the Rangers, he fell to 12-20 with a 4.18 ERA against the AL West opponent.
Since opening day 2011, Hernandez is 2-8 with a 4.93 ERA in 11 starts against the Rangers and 37-23 with a 2.97 ERA against all other teams.
"We don't own him," insisted Texas manager Ron Washington. "No one owns him. But he's only human and there's some days he's going to go out there and things aren't going to fall into place."
"I've been in the playoffs so much (six times) but never been to the World Series. How is that possible? So, it's imperative that I do that." - Detroit outfielder Torii Hunter, who has played in more games (2,068) than any other active player without reaching the ultimate stage.
RHP Jesus Sanchez lowered his ERA to 2.87 with two shutout innings of relief Friday night in a 3-2 victory over Iowa. Sanchez has issued only 17 walks in 69 innings.
RHP Kevin Shackelford has posted a 0.99 ERA in 19 relief outings since moving up from Brevard County. Opponents have batted .212 against him.
OF D'Vontrey Richardson's comeback after taking a year off has gone well. He was batting .332 through 50 games with a .376 on-base percentage.
LHP Michael Strong posted a 3.31 ERA in 25 appearances (eight starts). He has compiled 98 strikeouts in 87 innings while holding opponents to a .236 batting average.
1B Adam Giacalone has thrived since coming down from Wisconsin, batting .350 in 36 games with four homers, 30 RBI and a .436 on-base percentage.
RHP Josh Uhen, a fifth-round draft pick out of UW-Milwaukee, has allowed only four earned runs over 182/3 innings (1.93 ERA) over his last six appearances.

Joanna Krupa, voted ?Sexiest Woman in the World? will host the new reality MMA TV show, ?Ultimate Women Combat? the show will feature 8 female contenders from all corners of the globe. The show is expected to be broadcast around the world. No air date has been annouced.
Cagewarriors caught up with the supermodel to get her thoughts on the new show and MMA
?Its gonna be a top of the line fight show and will take place in a beautiful exotic location so the viewer will be sitting in intense mode every episode and honestly i don?t think i can choose one over the other because i think both elements are very important in making a show top notch.?
?I am a huge fan of the UFC and Gracie jiu jitsu cause i believe not only its the one of the best methods of fighting but also its an amazing form of self defense especially for women. i think it should be mandatory for any woman to learn at least the basics of jiu jitsu as i have started taking lessons at Gracie Miami. I think schools should bring in self defense over useless gym classes.?
The tryouts for UK Contenders were held on 10th December at SBG Gym, Manchester with the US holding their auditions next week when a final list of contenders will be drawn up. So far the repsonse has been terrific from all around the world, making the possibility of increasing the numbers to the show or holding a second show later in the year.
Lyle Howry, President of Lyle Howry Productions, the creators and producers of the show commented ? The response has blown us away in sheer volume and quality of the applicants, it just goes to show that there is a huge talent base out there for Womens MMA so expect some amazing names on the contenders list next week?.

Charlotte Talks
By editor
We'll meet an extraordinary group of students today on Charlotte Talks with Mike Collins. When we think of college students most of us picture young, energetic kids trying to balance an academic life with parties, dating and other campus activities. The students visiting us today are a little different from those imagined college students. They have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. The UNCC Veterans' Club is made up of students who discovered they had been a part of at least one of those conflicts and that they could share views and bring attention to veterans' affairs. Join the discussion at 704-926-WFAE (9323), 1-800-603-WFAE (9323), or firstname.lastname@example.com the UNCC Veterans' Club website.

Baseball season is right around the corner, and in May a whole lot of vintage baseball memorabilia goes up for auction in Mahwah.
It's all from a man convicted of selling stolen prescription drugs, and the auction is being run by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
NorthJersey.com reported that items to be sold at the auction include baseballs signed by Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Walter Johnson, Rogers Hornsby and Napoleon LaJoie, and another one autographed by Mickey Mantle, Duke Snider and Willie Mays.
According to network54.com, former Paterson pharmacy owner William Stracher owned the souvenirs. In 2007 Stracher was accused of stealing and reselling prescription drugs such as Lipitor, Nexium and Effexor XR. Stracher reportedly invested his money in the baseball memorabilia.
The auction will be held May 3 at the Bergen County Law & Public Safety Institute in Mahwah. Items will be auctioned in 300 to 400 lots at 11 a.m. that day, with a preview at 9 a.m., according to NorthJersey.com. Fifty items with the top appraised value will be put into an online simulcast auction, according to Ron Caspert of the Englewood Cliffs company Caspert Auctioneers and Appraisers.
Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli called on Drew Max, a handwriting analyst often featured on History Channel series Pawn Stars, to authenticate some of the memorabilia, according to NorthJersey.com. Items he couldn't authenticate were destroyed.
Stracher was given two years probation after pleading guilty to distributing prescription drugs and money laundering, NorthJersey.com reports. Experts believe the auction of his baseball items could raise more than $100,000 for the Bergen County prosecutor's seized assets fund.

The month of February was outstanding for the New York Knicks. The team has found a point guard, and they are back to their winning ways. The Knicks were 8-15, when Jeremy Lin became the starting point guard. Carmelo Anthony had just been injured and A'mare Stoudemire left the team due to the death of his brother. Mike D'Antoni was on the verge of being fired when Lin stormed onto the scene and became the star the Knicks needed. The emergence of Lin has saved the Knicks season.
Since Jeremy Lin has become a starter, the Knicks have won 9 out of their last 12. There was a 7 game win streak during this current stretch as well. Lin had an amazing 38 point performance against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, as well as a 28 point and 14 assist game against the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. Lin has been averaging nearly 25 points and 9 assists a game during this stretch. It's amazing what a great fit D'Antoni's system is for Lin- kind of reminiscent of when D'Antoni was coaching the Phoenix Suns, and we saw Steve Nash excel so greatly.
While Lin has been a sensation, there is much to be excited about with this team. The fact is that the New York Knicks are winning games playing team basketball. While the Knicks may not win the championship this year, the team has a young talented core along with a nice mix of veterans like veteran Tyson Chandler, A'mare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony to lead the way. Mike D'Antoni's seems to finally have the right mix of players to excel in his system. If the team can continue to play defense, the Knicks should be championship contenders for years to come.
The playoffs start in April, and it will be interesting to see how the Knicks will play down the stretch. Will they have enough to win a playoff series? How far can they go? One thing is for sure, if Jeremy Lin continues to play at the his current level, the Knicks have a very strong chance.
