MILWAUKEE (AP) Yovani Gallardo is expected to be the ace of the Milwaukee Brewers' rotation.
After that, the team faces some question marks.
Manager Ron Roenicke expects right-hander Marco Estrada to fill a spot. If Chris Narveson is recovered from shoulder surgery that limited him to just two starts a year ago, he'll be back in the rotation.
Gallardo made 33 starts in 2012, posting a 16-9 record and 3.66 ERA while striking out 204.
Prospects will compete for the final rotation spots.
Mike Fiers has the most big league experience of the group, starting 22 games last season while posting a 9-10 record and a 3.74 ERA.
Former No. 1 draft pick Mark Rogers, who has had injury issues, was 6-6 with a 4.72 ERA in 18 starts with Triple-A Nashville and 3-1 with a 3.92 ERA in seven starts with the Brewers before he was shut down for the season.
After a slow start with Nashville, Wily Peralta made five starts late in the season with the Brewers and went 2-1 with a 2.48 ERA.
``Peralta has a huge upside,'' Roenicke said. ``If he pitches like he did a few of those games last year, he's got a huge upside.''
Milwaukee will also have depth in the minor leagues with Tyler Thornurg and Hiram Burgos.
Thornburg was Milwaukee's third-round draft choice in 2010 and has moved quickly through the system. He went 10-4 last year between Double-A Huntsville and Nashville and made a few appearances with Milwaukee during the season.
Burgos was the organization's minor league pitcher of the year last season, going 10-4 with a 1.95 ERA in 28 games with Nashville, Huntsville and Class A Brevard County, striking out 153 batters and walking just 49.
``The nice thing is we don't have just three guys for those three spots,'' Roenicke said. ``We've got two or three other guys we feel comfortable can do it. Going into it knowing that it's not just these three guys and you have to do it all year, we don't have to do that. We've got four guys we know can pitch in the big leagues for three spots.''
The Brewers are going with youth after trading Zack Greinke to the Los Angeles Angels for prospects last season.
``I'm not saying it's a gamble,'' general manager Doug Melvin said. ``When I wake up every morning, it's a gamble. But we felt this was the time and opportunity to give them the ball. They all pitched very well. We like the ballclub. There were a lot of positives that took place in August and September of last season.''
Milwaukee looked for pitching help during free agency, showing interest in right-hander Ryan Dempster but the Brewers weren't willing to commit to a three-year contract and Dempster signed with Boston. Other candidates came with prices deemed a little too high, leading the Brewers to stick with what they have.
The Brewers' payroll was $101 million at the start of 2012 but the team decided to cut costs this year, leaving some wiggle room to add players as the season goes on.
``We saw last year with our ability to get back into the playoff race with two (wild cards), you can be seven or 10 games out at midseason and still have a shot,'' Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said.
``Now we are in position this year, even if we are back seven, eight, nine or 10 games, to add at midseason given where we have our payroll if we have the right kind of player come up depending how we see the division playing out at that time.''
Can a group of unheralded pitchers keep pace with the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central?
Melvin certainly thinks so.
The influx of young talent played a big part as the Brewers surged back into contention in 2012, finishing the season with a 27-13 record and going from 12 games under .500 to wild-card contention in the season's final weeks.
``We were encouraged by their performance last August and September,'' Melvin said. ``They performed well enough to give us confidence. The challenge is doing it over the course of the marathon season.''
Melvin and the Brewers also had to rework the bullpen over the winter.
Closer John Axford returns in 2013, after losing then regaining the ninth-inning role and finishing strong down the stretch. Midseason call-up Jim Henderson will open the season as the setup man, Kameron Loe, Manny Parra, Francisco Rodriguez left.
The bullpen was a big factor in the Brewers missing the playoffs as they led the majors with 29 blown saves. To shore up the bullpen, Melvin signed left-handers Tom Gorzelanny and Mike Gonzalez from Washington and traded for Tampa Bay's Burke Badenhop.

Brazil blown away by sharp Germany
Brazil's dreams of making a return to a World Cup final in the Maracana were shattered in the most agonising manner as Germany inflicted on the hosts one of the most remarkable defeats in the 84-year history of this competition.
Tears flowed like water in the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte as before even half-an-hour had gone, Brazil were 5-0 down, and the final scoreline was 7-1, equalling their worst-ever defeat, 6-0 to Uruguay back in 1920 before the World Cup had even begun.
Brazil 1-7 Germany -- reaction
- Marcotti: Scolari at a loss to explain
- Jones: Seven stages of grief for Brazil
- Duarte: Haunting defeat for the Selecao
- Delaney: Three Points - Brazil broken by Germany
- Low: German plan worked perfectly
- Behind the Numbers: Germany's historic win
- Photo Gallery: Best of Brazil vs. Germany
- Klose breaks World Cup goals record | Highlight
- Social reaction: Brazil, did that just happen?
Two goals for Toni Kroos and Andre Schurrle , plus one each for Thomas Muller, Sami Khedira, and record-breaking 16th World Cup goal for Miroslav Klose saw the visitors delirious, while Brazil begins a period of soul-searching such as never before.
Germany will go into Sunday's World Cup final at the Maracana to face Argentina or Holland on the highest of highs.
The pain was so intense for Brazil, who had arrived at the Estadio Mineirao intent on honouring their missing talisman, Neymar.
They tried to use his absence as an inspiration, parading slowly onto the field linked in crocodile formation, with stand-in captain David Luiz and goalkeeper Julio Cesar clutching Neymar's shirt as they belted out the national anthem.
The opening period was always going to be a testing one for Germany, with the partisan crowd baying every Brazilian touch and tackle.
Marcelo was cheered wildly after sending a 25-yard shot skimming a couple of yards wide, but there was a frantic feel to it, as though the Neymar emotion had spilled over into a frenzy, with Germany capable of punishing any slackness.
That almost happened early on when Mesut Ozil delivered a sweet cross for Khedira to volley only for his shot to strike Kroos.
A break by Khedira then led to the corner from which Germany took the lead in the 11th minute. Kroos took it, and it was straightforward enough but Brazil's marking went into meltdown and Muller slotted it home low past Julio Cesar while David Luiz beat the ground in frustration.
Marcelo burst into the Germany penalty area and a pinpoint sliding tackle by Philipp Lahm stopped him in full stride but Brazil's high tempo only served to make them vulnerable on the break and Germany made them pay again, this time Klose becoming a World Cup's record-breaker.
A delightful passing move saw Muller lay the ball off and although Julio Cesar stopped his first effort, Klose buried the rebound.
Two minutes later and it was 3-0, Lahm's cross going all the way across the area for Kroos to slam home left-footed from 18 yards.
Brazil's historic semifinal loss
• Miroslav Klose now highest goalscorer in WC history with 16.
• Klose surpassed Brazilian legend Ronaldo to claim record.
• Biggest ever defeat by any team in a WC semifinal.
• Fastest a team has scored five goals in WC (29 minutes).
• Brazil hadn't conceded five goals in an entire WC since 1998.
• Brazil had never previously trailed by 4 goals in 102 WC matches.
• Germany all-time top scoring team in WC history with 221 goals.
• Brazil first host nation to lose at WC by more than three goals.
Another two minutes, another goal. From a goal-kick Fernandinho was robbed by Khedira who unselfishly played in Kroos for a virtual tap-in for 4-0.
By this time Brazil fans were in tears and a few leaving their seats, but the German machine marched on mercilessly.
Less than half an hour gone and the hosts were 5-0 down. Mats Hummels strode forward and Ozil, who had come alive in this match, set up Khedira for a first-time finish.
All over the pitch, in the stands, the executive box where FIFA president Sepp Blatter watched, in the Fan Fests on the beaches and those tens of millions tormented on TVs throughout Brazil, there was sheer disbelief.
Scolari's half-time team talk must have been all about rescuing some pride, because it was a different Brazil who came out for the second half, with Paulinho on for the Fernandinho and Ramires for Hulk, with Low sending on Per Mertesacker for Hummels.
Neuer had been barely tested in the first half but only he prevented Brazil getting on the scoresheet, first defying Oscar and then Paulinho.
Julio Cesar had to be at his best to tip over Muller's curling effort from 25 yards, but Germany were not to be denied and Lahm's penetrating cross was struck home by substitute Schurrle.
It was Chelsea midfielder Schurrle who piled on the agony, a breathtaking finish into the top corner after pulling down Muller's instinctive cross.
Ozil should have made it an embarrassing eight but slid wide when through on goal before Oscar's crisp finish in the last minute provided a glimmer of light in the darkness.
If Brazil wanted to erase the memories of that 1950 final defeat in the Maracana they have done so: this pain would have been infinitely more excruciating.

Don't Miss the Gus Modern Summer Sale!

Buying a new sofa is a big deal. It's one of those big purchases that you hem and haw over and save up your money for. Don't miss this chance to save 20% on Gus*Modern's upholstered pieces. There is a range of beautiful styles, fabrics and colors. Also while you're shopping, why not pick up a chair or two, and/or an upholstered ottoman? The sale is on until August 16, 2015, so you'll have plenty of time to hem. And haw. Then decide.
The Margo Sofa is a beautiful new classic with French flair. And deep jewel-toned blue is the new neutral. Upholstered in jewel-toned velvet, you'll want to channel your inner George Costanza and ensconce yourself in it. By the way, if blue velvet's not for you, it also comes in quartz, zinc and goldleaf.
If Don Draper was shilling on Madison Avenue in 2015, I think he'd choose The Davenport Sofa. Its clean lines are a current update on mid-century modern style, and its sleek stainless steel base adds a contemporary touch. It also comes in a bi-sectional version as well.
The Thatcher Sofa combines a steel frame with unique diamond-patterned upholstery that adds a slightly more traditional touch.
Need more space to stretch out and seat more people? The Jane Bi-Sectional Sofa gives you room to put your feet up and relax. Warning: This may induce a fat nap.
The Mimico Ottoman is one of those pieces that will serve you in many ways, in a bunch of rooms, for many years to come. Place it in the entryway as a landing strip, where you can take your shoes off and stash them, your bag and other equipment out of view inside. Use it as a coffee table that doubles as an ottoman. Place it at the end of your bed as a bench and keep an extra throw blanket stored inside. There are so many possibilities.
The Spanner Chair was designed in 1950 and its playful style has endures. In fact, it was out of production for about 50 years before Gus struck a deal with the Spanner family to bring this beauty back to life.

So her name is Musa and she is another pixie from the new Nickelodeon series Winx Club. For the past week I have been making lessons of the main pixies that will be appearing in the new series. I almost have all the main Winx, there is only a couple of them left. The Winx is a group of fairies brought together in a club that was created by Bloom. The original five characters where Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, and of course Tecna. Other character like Layla and Roxy joined the club in different seasons. Musa is the fairy or pixie that loves any type of music no matter if it's rock, classical, jazz, instrumental, pop, or what have you. Another good trait about Musa is how loyal of a friend she is. She is also very caring, honest, and a bit reserved. Out of the now seven fairies, I would say that Musa has the lightest completion, and she is more of a tomboy than any other figure of the club. It is suggested that she might be some sort of Asian ethnic. Musa is described as having blackish blue colored hair that she wears in ponytails, blue eyes, and an extreme love of music. Any pixie that comes from planet Melody is going to be a big time music lover. Anyways, she is going to be a really exciting character to draw because she is very interesting looking. I love the color of her hair and the style of her clothes. I think you too will enjoy drawing Musa from Winx Club, I mean how can you not with a face like hers. Thanks for joining me with this lesson guys, have fun and enjoy your drawing day!

Turn off your computer sound. Right now. This clip's audio quality (and picture quality) is horrid. However, it does show off a special attack, the likes of which gaming has never seen.
Keiji Inafune is the creator of Dead Rising and former producer of Mega Man. Inafune has never been shy about voicing his opinion about the Japanese gaming industry, making him a living and breathing special attack.
In Hyperdimension Neptunia 2, he's an in-game attack, folded arms, glowing eyes and all. The game is once again, a send-up of the gaming industry.

Sorry you're sick, Dr. A. I was in the chat room tonight when you were having technical difficulties. The show was going great and then you disappeared. But everybody knew it wasn't your fault. TalkRadio has had some problems lately with audio and such. I hope they get it fixed soon.

So Chaminda picks just one player now? And does he have to select his New Zealand players first or can they be at any time?
So Chaminda picks just one player now? And does he have to select his New Zealand players first or can they be at any time?
Also he can choose when he selects his New Zealand players, there is no order into when you chose your 3 home nation players and you can do so whenever you like (when it is your turn).
Basically all you have to do is make sure they debuted in 79 or after (I miss Imran ) and that you pick 3 of your nation, 1 from each top 7 and 1 from a minnow.
Edit: Also when you select a player for Tests he is still available to others in ODI's and vice versa (unless you select him for both)
Ah ok thanks for clearing that up. Its going to be very interesting to see what strategies people decide to use with this format thats for sure.
So are we picking one team which will play both tests and ODIs? Or a team for tests and a separate team, according to the same conditions, for one dayers?

Nag, think I get it now, should be interesting, and quite complicated. Just disappointed I've got a damn minnow.
That'll be a bit of a blow to NUFAN.
bagapath is up.
Dire but predictable start by Chaminda considering he picked Murali first in the Test Draft.

Volcanoes and valleys on the Big Island
Sara Benson, LonelyPlanet.com • Updated 10th October 2017
View Gallery
7 Pictures
(Lonely Planet) —
The youngest of Hawaii's main islands -- and it's still growing, with over 500 acres of new land added over the last 30 years -- the Big Island of Hawai'i overflows with outdoor adventures. Here you can hike to the edge of the world's longest-running volcanic eruption, then climb Hawaii's two tallest peaks.
Dropping back down to earth, trek into forested valleys harboring ancient heiau (Hawaiian temples) and wild beaches where you can camp by the surf in the silvery moonlight.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Start by going straight to the heart of the Big Island's live lava action:
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
. Here Kilauea Caldera has been spewing lava since 1983. During just the last few years, Halemau'mau Crater has once again become a roiling lake of fire. Traditionally believed to be the home of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire and volcanoes, Halemau'mau Crater looks especially hellish after dark.
Wait, isn't all this volcanic activity dangerous? Not exactly. Hawaiian shield volcanoes rarely erupt with fountains of fire, but instead send out lava flows that ooze above ground or in underground tubes with glowing skylights. When those flows reach the ocean, they send up huge plumes of steam that billow like clouds during the day and glow ghoulishly at night.
Lonely Planet: Hiking O'ahu: a walk through Hawaii's history and culture
Depending on current volcanic activity, you may be able to hike to within view of the lava flow, either inside the park or at county-run Kalapana viewing area; call +1 (808) 961-8093 for up-to-date information.
If you want to set foot on older, more stable but still steaming lava flows, as seen in the alien landscapes of the 2001 Hollywood remake of "Planet of the Apes," follow the park's 4-mile Kilauea Iki Trail, which descends from the volcanic crater rim and traipses over jet-back lava flows, which are slowly being recolonized by native plants, and through birdsong-filled rain forest kipuka (oases) spared Pele's wrath.
Mauna Loa
In a far-flung corner of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park,
Mauna Loa
("Long Mountain" in Hawaiian), the most massive volcano in Hawaii, stands watch. If you're a peak-bagger, the 19-mile trek to its summit is a worthy challenge.
Intense sun exposure, white-out fog and the risks of hypothermia and altitude sickness don't deter ambitious, physically fit climbers from this multi-day ascent over a moonscape of volcanic lava flows to Manua Loa's otherworldly summit caldera.
Day hikers who want to take the shortcut use the Mauna Loa Observatory Trail, another strenuous and breathtakingly high trail (13 miles round-trip) that starts off Saddle Rd outside the park. It's a steep, unearthly beautiful climb through rainbow-colored volcanic cinders to Mauna Loa's windy, exposed summit.
Get an early start (before 8 a.m.) and check the weather forecast before setting out. The observatory access road is rough and mostly unpaved; a 4WD vehicle is helpful. Note most rental-car companies prohibit driving on unpaved roads, even in Jeeps.

Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea
is the world's tallest mountain -- taller even than Mt. Everest -- when measured from its base deep on the ocean floor all the way to its summit at 13,796 feet above sea level. Startlingly clear skies have made the summit an ideal place for building high-tech astronomical observatories; some are open to the public for visits and tours.
For ancient Hawaiians, Mauna Kea was a pilgrimage spot for sacred ceremonies including burials, as well as collecting materials to make tools. The snow goddess Poli'ahu lives here, among the prehistoric lava flows and tiny Lake Waiau.
Start partway up the mountain at the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station, which offers free star-gazing programs nightly. Acclimatize to the heady 9000-foot elevation while you sip hot chocolate indoors. Most rental cars are not allowed to drive up to the summit, but you can still get there the hard way -- on foot.
It's an eerie 6-mile climb each way, snaking around cinder cones at eye-level with the clouds and within distant view of the ocean, over two dizzying miles down below. Not up for such a workout? Catch sunset at the summit on a guided 4WD tour instead.
Waipi'o & Waimanu Valleys
As thrilling as the Big Island's volcanoes are, just as impressive are its emerald amphitheater valleys. Curving along the coast in the shadow of the Kohala Mountains, most of these enormous valleys are completely inaccessible.
But you can still capture panoramas of wildly bucking surf, patchwork fields of green taro plants and lacy waterfalls dropping off the cliffsides from the Waipi'o Valley Lookout. It's at the end of a paved highway from Honoka'a on the northern Hamakua Coast.
From the lookout, it's a knee-knockingly steep 1-mile walk down a 4WD road to black-sand Waipi'o Beach where spinner dolphins cavort offshore. Hire a guide if you want to venture further back into Waipi'o Valley, because locals are fiercely protective of private property and you'll need someone who knows the landscape.
Alternatively, get a permit in advance for a DIY backpacking trip to utterly remote Waimanu Valley, abandoned after a tsunami wiped out its village in 1946. The 9-mile Muliwai Trail from Waipi'o Valley into Waimanu Valley is rough, hazardous and extremely steep in spots, so only experienced backcountry hikers should attempt it.
Lonely Planet: Hawaii's Big Island: how to make the most of a short trip
Pololu Valley
A much easier day hike awaits in the North Kohala district, at the end of a paved highway winding past Hawi. Sacred to ancient Hawaiians, the fertile Pololu Valley thrived with taro fields into the 20th century until the Kohala Ditch diverted water. Today you can hike down into this amphitheatre valley on a rocky hiking trail that's less than a mile long.
Finish at a black-sand beach where you can sit, contemplate the breaking waves and feel the mana (spiritual power) of the Big Island's valleys and volcanoes.

At the end of last year, the Financial Supervisory Commission proposed major amendments to the Regulations Governing Use of Insurers' Funds in Special Projects, Public Utilities and Social Welfare Enterprises (保險業資金辦理專案運用公共及社會福利事業投資管理辦法). The proposed changes would open the door to investments in social welfare enterprises by insurance funds. This move has met with criticism from various sectors of society, saying that instead of making care a public service, the government is commercializing it. The commission is nonetheless determined to amend the law, and its proposed changes include the following four main points:
First, insurance companies are now only allowed to "invest in" social welfare enterprises, but following the amendment, they would be able to "invest in and operate" both the hardware and software aspects of social welfare enterprises.
Second, an insurance company's investment in any single social welfare enterprise is currently capped at 10 percent of its total investment in that entity, but following the amendment, that cap would rise to 35 percent. This higher stake would give insurance companies greater influence over the enterprises in which they invest.
Third, should enterprises whose main purpose is social welfare work be allowed to issue securitized offerings for their services? Following the amendment, not only would these services be turned into securitized offerings, but insurance companies would also be able to invest in up to 10 percent of the total number of issued securities. This part of their investment would not be included in the calculation of the aforementioned 35 percent, but would be in addition to it.
Fourth, the government has placed limits on loans made by insurance companies. That is, they may only lend money when at least one of the following three forms of guarantee exists: one, a bank or the government provides credit assurance; two, movable or immovable property is available as collateral; and three, negotiable securities are provided as collateral. Following the amendment, insurance companies would be able to request approval from the competent authorities that they be exempted from the aforementioned restrictions on lending. In other words, they would no longer need any kind of guarantee.
These lax investment regulations are designed to make it easy for insurance companies to enter the social welfare sector, and their main target would be the field of long-term care for the elderly, which is urgently needed in Taiwan, but is currently inadequate and of poor quality. This kind of financial manipulation could widen the gap between rich and poor, for the following three reasons.
First, if prior to the government's implementation of universal long-term care insurance, it first lets insurance companies get involved by investing in and operating long-term care services and insurance, targeting the middle class, then when the middle class' demand for long-term care has been satisfied by commercial insurers, the government will face obstacles when it eventually tries to implement universal long-term care insurance.
Second, generally speaking, when countries are promoting any kind of outsourcing measure, they will set clear parameters before finding operators through an open tender. Only by so doing can the government monitor and control the quality of service. However, when the government is in control, operators' profits tend to be very low. In light of this, why does the Taiwanese government want to open up the long-term care sector to operation and investment by commercial insurance companies before establishing operational parameters for long-term care services? Could it be that the government has no intention of managing and controlling the sector? Besides, long-term care is a high-risk business that is labor intensive, and those who provide such services have to be very devoted and patient. Operators can only make high profits by exploiting workers and elderly residents. Where else could they get their profits from?

The following is a review by Kathleen Vogtle, Communications Coordinator at the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI):
Remnants of a Life on Paper: A Mother and Daughter's Struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder
Mental illness is like a ripple on a pond.
The waves are most well-defined and cause the greatest disturbance near their origin, rocking family and friends the hardest even as they maintain a tight cluster around their loved one. As the ripple widens and spreads outward, the waves soften, yet still leave a distinct impression on an untold number of people. The displacement of the water also draws unknown and unpredictable elements to the surface, which may then influence the direction, spread or even the longevity of the ripple.
Bea Tusiani felt this ripple effect first hand when her daughter, Pamela, was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Remnants of a Life on Paper: A Mother and Daughter's Struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder is a moving, impactful account of their family's journey through symptoms, medication, healthcare issues, government agencies and lawsuits, and in-so-doing, urges others to reach out and seek help.
Remnants of a Life on Paper immediately draws the reader in through its structure. Each of the 12 chapters begins with a series of question-and-answer sessions that took place between Ed Davis, a lawyer, and Pamela's mother and father, Bea and Michael. These excerpts provide not only a lead-in to each chapter, but also how Bea and Michael's perceived their daughter's thoughts and actions at the time and the understanding they gained after the fact.
The content of each chapter is presented in a unique way, with excerpts from Pamela's diaries—her artwork, poetry and inner musings—alternating with her mother's recollection and viewpoint on the same events. Both accounts are incredibly moving and insightful, offering a rare understanding of BPD.
Pamela's diary entries very clearly illustrate her periods of depressed mood, irritability, anxiety and impulsiveness, all of which present a real face to typical BPD. For example, in December 1999, she writes:
December 4, 1999
DO NOT GET HIGH EVER AGAIN! I am an idiot! I must be insane! I hate myself for everything! I am not normal. I go from fine to freak-out.
December 5, 1999
I feel stupid for how I acted last night. I should not doubt my drug problem. I want to be in control of my life.
December 29, 1999
I feel crappy. Called everyone I know…. I am in a cold sweat. Should I go out to some bar tonight? No! I know that drill…but still….I don't want to sleep or watch TV, I want some human contact.
I bought a damn outfit for New Year's Eve and don't have anyone to look good for. No chance of love.
Bea's accounts are rife with a mother's worry, her attempts to live her own life whilst caring for and worrying about Pamela, the hope as her daughter seems to improve, and the disappointment, frustration and helplessness as she slides back down again.
The reader hopes and grieves with them both.
Remnants of a Life on Paper not only recounts the relationship between mother and daughter, it also offers their differing perspectives on her treatment. The most notable instance of this occurs upon Pamela's dual diagnosis and the family's subsequent discussion of possible treatment facilities. Her strong desire to attend Road to Recovery, a dual diagnosis facility in Malibu, Calif. was met with uncertainty from her parents, as neither they nor any of Pamela's psychiatrists had heard of it.
"It amazes me," Bea recalls of Pamela's insistence, "how, in such a short time, my daughter transitions from being withdrawn and dependent to someone in control and decisive." But their eventual decision to allow Pamela to enter Road to Recovery ultimately proves to have tragic consequences.
Remnants of a Life on Paper is a gripping reminder of how deeply mental illness affects millions of people around the world. As Pamela writes, "There I stood, in a hole, deep in the ground. Did I dig it or just get in? Did I fall into it? Did someone else dig it and throw me in?" In the aftermath of their experience, Bea echoes her daughter in saying, "The hole Pamela wrote about is still there, but through the telling of valiant struggle, she has extended a hand to help others climb out."

Pißwasser (mispronounced in-game as "pisswasser"; the correct pronunciation is actually "pissvasser") is a fictional German export lager frequently advertised in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. 'Wasser' in the beer's name translates into English as 'water', making the beverage's literal name 'piss water', which is a slang term for cheap, watered-down beer. Billboards seen in-game expand the urine references, even going so far as to suggest the bottles contain nothing but urine (perhaps in reference to the urine in Corona beer rumor). Furthermore, the six-crate of Pißwasser that Rockstar sent to UK website CVG Online as a present was labeled with the words 'Ü-Rhine', which is probably also a nod to the Rhine river in Germany (also a pun on "urine"). The labels on the bottles are similar to Grafenwalder's labeling. The beer's slogan is "You're In, For A Good Time", once again playing to the urine theme.
The radio and TV advertisements for the beer feature variations of a song sung by a stereotypical redneck man with lyrics that portray comically exaggerated effects of alcoholism, including "giving a dude head" and "driving drunk off a pier". The Pißwasser song largely spoofs Budweiser's [Explanation Needed] anthem, particularly towards the end of the jingle. A pack of Pißwasser costs 6 dollars at 24/7.
Television/long radio jingle
- Last night, I think I shit the bed,
- Got so drunk, I gave a dude head,
- Life is just a merciful blur,
- When you pop a Pißwasser.
- Pißwasser, don't drink it slow,
- 3 a.m., buy some blow,
- Sleep in the bathroom on the floor,
- What really matters anymore?
- All the crap you do all day,
- Who fucking cares anyway?!
- Pißwasser, this is beer!
- Drive drunk off a pier!
- Pißwasser, drink all day!
- It helps your troubles go away, yeah yeah!
- Pißwasser: cheap German lager for export only.

text: On our recent St. George Island vacation, we found a little path that led to a secluded bayside beach right at the end of our cross street. When we first went out there, I noticed it was the ideal spot to catch a spectacular photo of the sun setting over the bridge from the mainland, so I planned to come back out there that evening to catch the sunset. First night…cloudy and hazy from the heat. Second night…hazy from the heat. Third night…hazy from the heat. But while I was waiting for a break in the haze, I looked down and saw how the setting sun was shining light on the gems of the area….the lowly oysters. Ninety percent of the oysters consumed in the state of Florida come from the bay I was facing. I'd say they deserve a photo op!

Andrew Klavan hits the nails on the head. Number three is perhaps the most important:
Recently, a number of books by secular intellectuals have noted the disaster that is postmodern relativism—the nihilist philosophy that has corrupted and gutted Western liberal education. Education's End, by Anthony T. Kronman, Why We Should Call Ourselves Christians, by Marcello Pera, and What Ever Happened to Modernism?, by Gabriel Josipovici, come to mind. All lament the abandonment of our commitment to the Great Conversation—the intellectual's belief that the creative tension of the uniquely brilliant Western literary and philosophical canon can lead us in the direction of moral truth.Read the rest.
But the authors cannot fully grasp the nettle of the solution. Many assume that the Great Conversation depended on the sort of open mind only secularism can provide. As Kronman puts it: "Every religion insists, at the end of the day, that there is only one right answer to the question of life's meaning," thus rendering the pluralism of the Great Conversation impossible. I would contend the opposite: only the existence of a God in whose image we are created can support the notion of moral truth at all. It was always Judeo-Christianity, and that alone, that made the Great Conversation possible. Pera understands this intellectually, but cannot really plunk for faith. And therein lies the problem. The triumph of science, the comfort of Western life, and a sophisticated elite virulently hostile to religion have all contributed to an intellectual atmosphere of unbelief—a sense that atheism should be the default mode of reasonable, thinking people. That is a mere prejudice and needs to be answered in the culture, not with Bible-thumping literalism and small-minded judgmentalism—nor with banal happy-talk optimism—but by sound argument made publicly, unabashedly, and without fear. John Adams and the other Founders were right about this: an irreligious people cannot be free. Liberty lives in the palace of moral truth, and you can't build that palace on the empty air.

A common criticism of conservative Christians in the US like, say, the Southern Babdist Convention, is that they spend too much time talking politics, even from the pulpit. We hear, "Don't mix politics with religion, you fundies!" and our ears perk up. Maybe they're right, we think.
But of course, this post is just to point out that the SBC is not alone in doing such. The numerous, numerous examples of Democrat politicians (Hillary Rodham and John F Kerry are perhaps the most famous examples) taking the pulpit in primarily African-American churches during their big campaigns can now be joined to the explicit and bold mélange of politics and religion found in the new-and-improved, liberal offshoot of the SBC, the

Skull Fossil
- This article is related to a Pokémon item.
A Skull Fossil is a fossil that resurrects Cranidos. It bears a resemblance to Cranidos's head.
How to Obtain[edit | edit source]
- Go to Eterna City and gain the explorer kit from the man in the house next to the bike shop. You must then use the explorer kit to go into the Underground.
- Once in the underground you must mine the walls; however, to get a skull fossil the last digit of the trainer ID must be odd. If it is even, the chances of mining a skull fossil are rare.

The first thing to decide when implementing your persistence layer is which classes are to be persisted. Let's take a sample class (Hotel) as an example We can define a class as persistable using either annotations in the class, or XML metadata.
To achieve the above aim with XML metadata, we do this
<class name="Hotel"> ... </class>
Alternatively, using JDO Annotations, like this
@PersistenceCapable public class Hotel { ... }
See also :-
With JDO persistence all classes that are persisted have to be identified in XML or annotations as shown above. In addition, if any of your other classes access the fields of these persistable classes directly then these other classes should be defined as PersistenceAware. You do this as follows
<class name="MyClass" persistence-modifier="persistence-aware"> ... </class>
or with annotations
@PersistenceAware public class MyClass { ... }
See also :-
You can, if you wish, make a class read-only. This is a DataNucleus extension and you set it as follows
<class name="MyClass"> <extension vendor-name="datanucleus" key="read-only" value="true"/>
or with annotations
@PersistenceCapable @Extension(vendorName="datanucleus", key="read-only", value="true") public class MyClass { ... }

: : : : : : "Snowing down south" - I understand this to be a polite way of saying "you are showing your petticoat below your skirt". Does anyone know the origin?
: : : : : Petticoat? If so, it's probably a pretty old phrase. I'm no expert on women's undergarments, but I think that for quite a number of years the word slip has been used more commonly than petticoat. What's the difference? Depends on who's been doing the defining. The word slip came into use in the 18th century, first applied to a garment with sleeves. One dictionary records the slip as being a dress-length undergarment suspended from narrow shoulder straps--as I have always been led to believe. The OED, however, says that in the 20th century the word slip was applied to an underskirt (sc., by implication, rather than the full-length garment). In the U.S. I'm pretty sure that women would have described this garment as a half-slip, although "you're slip is showing" still applied. But since a slip was women's underwear, ergo unmentionable (during a certain past era), "snowing down south" was a genteel way around mentioning the unmentionable. Comments, anyone? SS
: : : : SS, I've long wondered what the OED means by "sc."
: : : : Yes, "slip" is what we call the garment now, and one that hangs from the waist is a half-slip.
: : : : "It's snowing down south" is listed in Eric Partridge's "Dictionary of Catch Phrases American and British." Partridge says it's Australian, current during the late 1940s and the 1950s "but rapidly less since then," and it may have reached Australia from the U.S. It was known in the U.S. as early as the 1930s, Partridge says.
: : : No, I don't know the origin and can't find any references to it in any of the books I have about Australian sayings. In fact the only reference I can find at all is to the writer Judith Clark who included it in "Kalpana's Dream" as a "phrase my grandmother used to use". By the way a "slip" in Australia is an undergarment that includes a bodice and a skirt - I've never heard anyone use the expression "half-slip" to mean an underskirt, and would have thought that a half-slip was the bodice or top-half of a slip. Mind you, it's very hot in the part of Autralia where I live, so slips of any description would only be "special occasion" garments and so don't come up in conversation very often. Certainly, if I saw someone with an underskirt hanging out of the bottom of their skirt I would be more likely to say "aren't you hot in that?" rather than "Your slip is showing". In this post-Madonna world, I can't imagine anyone would actually care that much. Pamela
: : Regarding sc., viz., vide,and lege. The dictionaries that I have consulted don't even list "lege," which I've seen used from time to time. Sc., of course, stands for [email protected] scilicet = scire licet 'it is permitted to know'. Meaning (acc. to the OED) To wit; that is to say; namely. Abbreviated scil. or sc.
: : Viz., of course, = [email protected] videlicet (it is permitted to see), which the OED defines nearly the same way as scilicet. (I use them differently, but what do I know?)
: : V. = Vide, see (look up elsewhere under the same spelling), or q.v., quid vide, pretty much the same (look it up).
: : As to female undergarments, regarding which I, like Sergeant Schultz, "know nothing, nothing!" the nearest thing to the bodice of a slip worn separately would be, I think, a camisole, or one variety of it. Like some other undergarments, the camisole has been much subject to stylish variation, some intended to adapt it to use as outerwear. The euphemistic phrase, "it's snowing down south," doubtless went out of fashion because the word slip ceased to be regarded as naughty. However, I believe the euphemizing went on longer than is implied in some sources, especially in Catholic girls' schools. Or I could be wrong. As for Australia's
hot climate: since the reason to wear a slip rarely has anything to do with warmth and more to do with the type of material worn over it, Australian girls and women have probably made the slip supererogatory by the choice of material for their outerwear.
: Pamela: "Half-slip" is standard in the U.S. for an underskirt. Smokey is correct that an upper undergarment consisting of bodice and shoulder straps is called a camisole.
: Smokey: All your "of course"s presume familiarity with more L4t|n than many of us have. I'd figured out that the OED's "sc." meant something close to "i.e.," but ordinary writers in English don't use "sc." Evidently, only dictionary writers do. ~rb
Of course. I had to try to figure out which sounded least presumptuous, and I guessed wrong. If abbreviations like "sc." and "viz." were old hat to the readers of my post, I didn't want to seem to lecture them. At the same time, I wished to make sure I wasn't being too obscure for any readers NOT familiar with the abbreviations. I don't think it panned out too well. Apologies to anyone I may have offended.

Blower door testing is a way to test the "leakiness" of your home. By depressurizing your home and measuring the rate at which air infiltrates through imperfections in the building envelope, we're able to assess how much energy (and money) is escaping through air leaks, and how much you're likely to save by fixing those leaks. As part of this process, we will inspect the house with a smoke stick to pinpoint potentially hidden air leaks (making it much easier to address them when the time comes to get to work).
We also offer blower door testing as an isolated service to test the effectiveness of improvements that have been made to a home, and to provide homeowners and contractors with a roadmap to further improve a home's efficiency moving forward.

I noticed that PyQGis has QgsMapToolPan() and QgsMapToolZoom() functions, and the cursor shape on the canvas will change to a hand (for pan), magnifying-glass(+/-) (for zoomIn / zoomOut).
I have a toolbar for Select (arrow icon), Marquee (bounding box icon), besides the Pan, ZoomIn and ZoomOut tool buttons.
Currently I created the Select & Marquee tools as QgsMapTool(canvas) and setAction with the appropriately ui widget buttons.
How can I change the cursor shape to arrow when the Select tool is activated, and cross when the Marquee tool is activated?
(I noted the default cursor shape for QgsMapTool() is Cross icon which I could use for the Marquee tool.)

Tech Savvy Is For Adults, Too
For girls in Buffalo, New York, March 16 was an exciting day: The local AAUW branch hosted its eighth annual Tech Savvy conference, a program that exposes girls in sixth–ninth grades to careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Tech Savvy has been commended — including by the White House — for introducing girls to the diversity and the importance of STEM careers. An equally important part of the program, and one that makes Tech Savvy unique, is the dynamic session it offers adults.
Family members play a very important role in their children's success. For many people, parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles form a vital support network. Girls depend on their families for encouragement and look to them as role models.
When AAUW member Tamara Brown created the Tech Savvy program, she knew how important it was to get families involved. While girls spend the day in workshops with STEM women professionals, family members hear from experts about how to support their girls on the path to higher education and a career.
This year, AAUW Senior Researcher Christianne Corbett presented AAUW's latest research report to the parents and other adults who attended Tech Savvy. Parents were engaged, curious, and clearly looking out for their daughters' best interests. Naturally, they asked about pay, but they also asked about how welcoming the STEM workplace is for women, sexual harassment, and how to encourage their girls' interest in STEM careers.
Members of the local community also spoke to the adults present about challenges and opportunities for girls in the STEM fields. A young civil engineer and Buffalo native, Denine Jackson, described her career path and the challenges and rewards of her current job as the only woman in a technical role at the Buffalo Sewer Authority. A University of Buffalo professor discussed how girls can pursue STEM interests through high school and college and a consultant from energy company and Tech Savvy co-sponsor Praxair spoke about some of the research opportunities that a STEM career provided. Hearing from these Buffalo locals and other experts helped parents picture how their daughters might pursue STEM careers without leaving their communities behind.
For both students and parents, the eighth annual Tech Savvy in Buffalo was a great success. As one father said, "I believe it is important to expose my daughters to Tech Savvy because it gives them the opportunity to interact with other girls with great minds who also are interested in pursuing STEM careers [and to] meet with successful women in STEM careers."
AAUW looks forward to bringing the Tech Savvy program to 10 new cities this summer through the generous support of the Praxair Foundation. We can't wait to hear how the conferences inspire both girls and their parents in the year to come.

|Keep It Simple, Stupid
Re: What is Enterprise Software?by dragonchild (Archbishop)
|on Oct 31, 2005 at 01:05 UTC ( #504100=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
I don't think there is such a beast as "enterprise software". I do, however, think that there is such a thing as an "enterprise resource". If you look at the items you described (water, power, connectivity, information), the common theme is that there is a resource that is used. The mechanism by which that resource is distributed isn't the important factor.
Taking connectivity as an example, you can provide that resource using CAT-5, twisted-pair, wireless, optical ... the list goes on and on. In fact, connectivity is often provided over a combination of those methods. So, which connectivity method is "enterprise-level"? Well, it depends on what the enterprise requires. Many enterprises wouldn't consider twisted-pair to be "enterprise-level," because it isn't powerful enough. But, many other enterprises use it quite nicely.
I think the same goes for programming languages, only moreso. Programming languages don't actually distribute or store an enterprise resource. They provide the foundation for creating the tool(s) that distribute or store said resource. Oracle is an enterprise-level application because it can store and search information with the requirements an enterprise has concerning said information. One would need to speak about an application written in Perl that meets the need of information distribution. For example, no-one would deny that Amazon or CitySearch are "enterprises." They both use Perl, which means that Perl can be used as a foundation for building applications that can store and/or distribute enterprise resources.
In that regard, every single programming language in common use* can be used to build an application that handles an enterprise resource. One now has to discuss the costs and benefits associated with writing a given application in a given programming language. For example, when writing a web application, no-one seriously thinks that C is the appropriate way to go. Yet, C is the only language used to write the webserver or an enterprise-capable RDBMS. That's the same calculus, by the way, that's used to evaluate MySQL vs. SQL*Server vs. Oracle. There's no reason it shouldn't be applied to programming languages in the same fashion.
*: Befunge and Brainf*ck need not apply.
