We finished off our day with one final ride. It was called the Journey to Atlantis. We all sat in a little boat which slowly climbed a big hill and roared down the other side with a huge splash of water. Soaked again, we were all tired but happy after a fantastic ...

As part of providing more parking options and access to downtown businesses, The City of Calgary is extending on-street parking through the afternoon peak period - 15:30-18:00 - on one of the northbound 4 Street S.W. lanes, between 24 Avenue and 20 Avenue. This six-month pilot makes parking more convenient for people shopping, dining and visiting the area. It also provides an alternative to parking on the neighbouring community streets.
The parking pilot extends on-street parking to 39 stalls in the curb lane of northbound 4 Street S.W., between 24 Street and 20 Street. The extension is through the afternoon rush period and into the early dining hours of a busy restaurant district. Due to the northbound traffic patterns in this area during the afternoon rush period, compared to the southbound traffic patterns, there is room to turn a northbound travel lane into a parking lane during this time.
The pilot begins on Monday, June 20, and will be in place for a six month period. It can be removed sooner than six months, if the impacts to traffic are too great. The City will be monitoring travel times along the corridor to ensure traffic and Calgary Transit are not significantly impacted.
At the end of the six months, the pilot project will be evaluated to determine if on-street parking during this time of day, at this location, should remain in place permanently.
The 4 Street S.W. parking pilot is part of the Council approved 2015-2018 Consolidated Parking Policy Work Plan, included in The City's Parking Policy Framework. The Framework document provides direction on how we thoughtfully manage parking in Calgary. Calgary's downtown and surrounding area requires specific attention so it can continue to grow as an economically healthy and vibrant part of the city.

The Royal Veterinary College is delighted to announce the appointment of professor Stuart Reid as its new principal and the successor to professor Quintin McKellar, who has held the post since 2004.
The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Stuart Reid as its new Principal and the successor to Professor Quintin McKellar.
Prof Reid joins the RVC from the University of Glasgow, where he was professor of veterinary informatics and epidemiology and head of the school of veterinary medicine. He will take up his new role on January 1, 2011.
Prof Reid said: "I am delighted and honoured to be joining the Royal Veterinary College at this important time.
"The RVC has an enviable heritage and is a world leader in terms of its innovation and leadership in veterinary education, research and clinical service.
|PROF STUART REID began his career in 1987 as an assistant veterinary surgeon before joining the University of Glasgow as a clinical research scholar in 1988. In 1992 he assumed the role of post doctoral research fellow at the university and was promoted to senior post-doctoral research fellow in 1994. He was appointed to the first joint chair between the universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow in 1997, as professor of veterinary informatics and epidemiology. In 2004 he became associate dean of research and, in 2005, he became dean of the faculty of veterinary medicine at the University of Glasgow.
"I recognise that I am enormously privileged to be moving from a great school to a great college and I look forward to building on the successes achieved by RVC under Principal McKellar at the same time as rising to the challenges of a new funding environment."
Prof Quintin McKellar was appointed principal in August 2004. He leaves the RVC to take the post of vice-chancellor of the University of Hertfordshire.
Chairman of the RVC Council, The Right Hon the Baroness Shephard of Northwold, said: "Great strides have been made under professor McKellar's dynamic leadership, and I am sure I speak for all at the college when I say we will be sad to see him go. We look forward to welcoming professor Stuart Reid, and firmly believe that his experience and distinguished academic record will assist the Royal Veterinary College in strengthening its position over the coming years."

I mean even though they are all artist they still have strength and weakness...
Posted 07 December 2013 - 09:03 AM
I know that we should discuss...
but if no one is managing the to do list and other find that he is doing more work than the other
it feels like the team gonna collapse
Everyone is selfish and wants some part they own for themselves
so I perhaps think about sharing it per stage
so each person got a stage they can own
and try to keep the art style as similar as possible
I want to tell them the pro and cons in the way we share workloads
can somebody who have done this kind of management give me advice ?
I kinda need that right now

The fact that this won't be a commercial product
it won't be anything big and all
and it's still my first project
I doubt I could pay anyone
ok, I failed about 2 times in the past perhaps this is my third try and still my first project
we make this game base on our interest ...
I am not paying anyone anything,,
I guess I will be doing trials and error for now,,
Trying which method best suited my team management
anyway, I am still open for advice

We struggled with this until we took a crash course on agile development. We've now been practicing agile for over a year and our productivity has been through the roof. There are lots of resources on the web explaining how agile works. I would suggest trying it out using sticky notes on the wall, or using the free trial of either AgileZen (the one we use) or Trello.
Posted 13 December 2013 - 10:20 AM
I really think that management shouldn't be a big issue when I keep the team small,,
and also Managing things isn't really the thing that interest me in game making process
They are important.... so I need to do that..
Some of the people whom I have worked with in the past doesn't use computer often so I think yes sticky notes and paper are better for my team...
ok here is how it usually goes
They draw things on paper base on the description given to them
send them of to me,,
me or one of my friend trace it and add some basic colour
and hope that someone will animate that
because Animating is a painfully long process for a newbie
I am a programmer and I've tried web design before so I can basically trace
I will try to find out more about Agile Development
I know Trello for a long time it's just that they rarely use computer so it's out of option for now...
and these unasked broader question
Left unasked are how to turn designs into actions, how to create and identify tasks, how to reduce/agglomerate tasks into reasonable chunks, how to verify quality of the work, how to motivate people, how to lead, and how to manage people. Those are much broader questions.
I think I might ask them in the future,
I just think that if I ask now, there will be a swarm of article to read and perhaps I'll back down out of depression ....
please pardon my english...
thanks for all your reply and sorry for the late reply

Officials may say Debbie Reynolds passed away from a stroke, but many are drawn to believe that this icon died from a broken heart.
Just one day after the world mourned the death of her daughter and beloved actress Carrie Fisher, E! News learned that Fisher's mother, who became a Hollywood staple throughout her successful 70-year career, has left us as well.
Reynolds' son, Todd Fisher, confirmed the death to E! News, and tells us, "She went to be with Carrie. In fact, those were the last words she spoke this morning."
Reynolds had been hospitalized Wednesday afternoon after suffering a medical emergency at a Beverly Hills residence, and now that the worst has become a reality, a number of Reynolds' former co-stars, friends and admirers have taken to social media to share their grief over this heartbreaking loss.
So heartsick. Debbie went to be with Carrie. It's such a devastating 1,2 punch. She was my "mom" for years & I loved her dearly.A legend.— Debra Messing (@DebraMessing) December 29, 2016

Reynolds was perhaps best known for singing and dancing her way into Gene Kelly's heart as Kathy Selden in 1952's Singin' in the Rain, one of the most famous movie musicals of all time.
She also garnered the praise of younger generations as the endearing grandma Aggie in Disney Channel's Halloweentown and for her role on Will & Grace as Grace's (Messing) overbearing mother.
Our thoughts go out to Fisher and Reynolds' family during this devastating time.

Pueblo County stops issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples
PUEBLO, Colo. - The Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder's Office stopped issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples at 1 p.m. Monday.
The decision was made after the office reviewed a ruling that a judge handed down on Friday ordering Denver County to do the same.
Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz says that a threat of legal action from the Colorado Attorney General's Office also influenced his decision.
"I stand by the initial decision I made and still believe that an individual's constitutional rights outweigh a law that discriminates against American citizens. As the Attorney General has admitted it is only a matter of time before Marriage Equality is validated by the Supreme Court of the United States," Ortiz said.
Colorado voters approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between a man and a woman in 2006.
Attorney General John Suthers said last week that he has a duty to defend the law.
Pueblo County began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on July 11.

OK, I'll try and explain what's happened here... so bear with me!
New Ticket -->
Filled out the ticket & allocated it to asset "PC-FE14" -->
Realised wrong asset (after VNC'ing onto the desktop much to the suprise of the user!) so EDITed the ticket and changed the asset to PC-FE10 -->
Sorted the problem and closed the ticket. -->
PC-FE14 has no other tickets against it but shows in the View Workstations summary as having one. Click through to the asset and there is no ticket listed.
Hopefully the attached JPG illuminates the issue.
My question is: how do I clear the non-existant "ticket" from PC-FE14's summary?

It's a known issue. Patch is forthcoming.

Hello All, I have an areator system coming next week and have a situation that I need help with. I read in the startup manuel online that the pump needs to run 15 mins first day, 30 next and time doubles each day for 8 days to get the pond to the right oxygen level,
My problem is that I only get out to my country property on weekends. :(
My solution, if possible is I have an underground sprinkler system I installed last year to water the lawn during the week when I am not there. I have an open space in the control box for another module, the switch that opens and closes the valve for each sprinkler run. I would like to somehow have that module control an on / off switch to the areator pump. The sprinkler system is low voltage, I think 12 volt. Is there a switch or control that I could have activated by the sprinkler timer to run the aerator?:whistling2:
This would make live easier since my pond is a 120 mile round trip from my home in the city.:confused1:

Do Lies Really Make Things Better?
My eyes start to open, I can make out something white in front of me. I concentrate trying to think what it is, and then realise it is a ceiling. Hang on, where am I? What happened? Eager to know I sit up straight making my back stiffen, and panic. There is a wall on the left of me, I am in my room. Getting up slowly, I make my way towards the door which is ajar.
" - why the hell did you push her before?" a voice says, I make out it is Amy.
"Look – I – I don't know, I don't know – I get drunk - and then push my own niece down the stairs nearly killing her," I hear Kay say. Niece? What? What is she on about niece? Am I related to Kay?
"Well now you know not to get drunk again," Rachel says. Is this true? Slowly I get up, wanting to know the truth. I go around the door and they are looking up at me.
"Is it true?" I ask. They all look away. It must be true, I am related to Kay, and she is my Aunt. "Is it true?" I ask again. Kay puts her head into her hands and walks away, down the mentor corridor. I turn to Amy and Rachel, wanting to know.
"Sara -, "Amy says, trying to sound nice. It is true.
"It's true – Kay – she's my Aunt – you – you knew – why didn't you tell me?" They are both speechless, and I am desperate for the truth right now.
"Why?" I ask again.
"Sara – this is really hard to explain," Amy says. Slowly, I make my way down the stairs with Amy and Rachel watching my every move.
"Sara, come with us," Rachel says. Before I can do anything they grab my arms, and lead me down the mentor corridors. Is this happening? Is this a dream? I'm going to wake up... and I know I am... aren't I? These questions all swim in my head. We are at Emma's office, why are we here? Does Emma have the answers? The door opens and I am pushed in.
"She knows," Amy says.
"Eh?" Emma asks sounding confused.
"Kay" Emma then digs her face into her hands, she knows. Do they all know?
"Sara – please sit down"
"No," I say and break away from Amy and Rachel. I walk over to the left and lean on the wall. Amy and Rachel then leave the room. Staring at the wall ahead of me I try to hold back the tears.
"Sara this is really hard – yes we lied, but we only did it to protect you – "
"Protect me from what?"
"From knowing who you are"
"Well - who am I then?" I laugh.
"Sara – you're not normal – "
"Well I know that"
"God – Sara you're making this really difficult for me just please let me speak... you've got... three Aunts here – "
"Yes three... Kay... Rebecca – and – Zoe, there I've said it" What? Zoe? Is this a joke? I look at Emma in shock.
"Yeah right – there – I've said it" I leave off the wall, and then walk out the room. As I walk out I look left, down the long and never-ending corridor. I'm going to have to walk back to my room.

This cozy 2000 square foot cottage, is located directly on Lake Jocassee with a lovely view of the lake and the mountains. This 4BR, 3BA house sleeps 9 people comfortably without feeling crowded, and is perfect for 2 families to share! There are 2 main levels to the house.

There is an extra large dock which is always on deep water, and can fit up to 3 boats. Even if you don't bring a boat, the house is located in Fisher Knob, and with the classic Grumman canoe provided with your rental, you can still easily canoe to some of the best waterfalls on the lake.
All linens are provided and for the low price of $2275/week in the summer, this is the best value on the lake! Month of July is $2400/week. Please bring your own towels.
You can either pay a cleaning fee of $150 or just clean up when you leave.

Let me start by saying I had the best week of my life with my family on the lake, but that would have been the case with any house on the lake. The pros well outweigh the cons, but s few cons are significant and worth noting. Take care when docking your boat. There is exposed angle iron on all 4 of the forward edges. A little wood would go a long way to protect the boats. Also, there are no cleats to tie off to. Second, there is no wifi....even in 2016. If you have a job like mine where you can't check out for an entire week, know you will have to travel to get a signal. The entire staircase, all 177 steps, are in need of serious attention. A member of our group is a contractor and at least half the footers are not up to code. Also, plan on taking your trash with you. That can be an issue if you have a weeks worth of garbage from 2 families. The cabin is poorly lit in key areas like the bathrooms. No biggy for me, but the ladies didn't appreciate it. Some of the furniture is rustic mountain, but much of it is just old to include the mattresses. Don't pass on a chance to spend some time at this awesome vacation spot, but the experience could be greatly enhanced if the owners would make the dock a little more safe for boats, add wifi, upgrade the mattresses, and include trash disposal in the price. A significant part of my job is being fit and the stairs are no joke, but hands down, my biggest complaint is the hazards the exposed angle iron posed to my boat every time I docked. I have a nice scar on my boat as a result from docking while a thunderstorm was blowing in.
This is a Great Lake House! My family has visited this location twice. Once in 2004 and again this year in 2016! It is great for multiple families... Which makes it great to get the siblings together for a week or weekend gateway. Super simple, rustic and natural to its core :0) A lovely place to explore the great outdoors and gather together for dinner on the back porch while overlooking the lake! We have 3 boys-- from 3yrs to 9yrs... That loved the exploring. From playing in the sand, jumping off the dock, fishing, hiking the stairs, and canoeing to the falls-- they wore themselves slap out in great way! I will add that our visit in 2004 was in fall (for thanksgiving) and although we didn't get to enjoy the swimming our time hiking and exploring the area and surrounding areas (waterfalls, state parks, cashiers and highlands) was a blast! We spent time cozied up to the fire place and enjoying all the beauty of the fall. This year (Spring) we spent time soaking up the sun from the breathtaking view of the dock, canoeing and splashing around. So whatever season this is a great place to spend it--with friends or family of course :0)
Two years ago I rented this cabin for my baby brothers bachelor weekend. My dad, two brothers, brother in law and two friends stayed the weekend. We brought three boats, two kayaks a lot of food and maybe an adult beverage or two. We left left two trucks and all the boat trailers at the boat ramp as parking is limited at the house. It was the best weekend I have had in a long time. Awesome memories were made that will last until I pass. Before we left the family sat on the deck and took a photo that quickly became a favorite for all of us. To top the weekend off, my baby brother caught a big bass that he brought home and had mounted. So, whenever some asks about that fish, he has an awesome story to tell! I liked the lake and cabin so much that I came back today to see about renting it again! Be warned, the steps arent for the weak. No complaints at all!
The house was beautiful and very comfy. The steps were challenging being that I had to carry my 2 year old the entire time. The soft spots in a few steps and the lack of railing concerned me. I had a huge case of tram envy after realizing all of the other homes in the cove had a tram system and we were the only ones "roughing it!" The motivational signs did make me giggle! I was not pleased with the trash rule, especially since we didn't learn of it until our arrival. All trash must be removed or you pay $ 75-$100 fine, depending on which notice you read. The closest trash facilities were 30 mins away either direction. The one we chose to utilize due to the direction of our travels ended up being closed on the day of our departure. We were not happy!! A trash service should be included due to the check out time and the trash facility locations. Otherwise, this was the most relaxing vacation I have ever taken!
We had a great time during our recent stay here. The house was comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and the price was reasonable. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake from the porch, and we had absolutely no problem with the steps. Also, there are no steps from your car to the house, so it was easy to load and unload all the stuff we brought. We love the location of the house because there are 2 really great waterfalls that are about a 30 minute paddle away by canoe, and the house is only a 25 minute drive to Cashiers. This is a very healing place. The house has a relaxing mountain feel with all the handcrafted mountain furniture, and you just feel great after being here. We've stayed here several times and will continue coming back!
Let me start by saying that we had a wonderful family vacation. The cabin was rustic and the stairs were just as described. The lake was beautiful and my family had a great time discovering all of the waterfalls. My only negative is the stairs and the dock are in extremely poor condition. I would not stay at this property until they were all replaced, many were cracked and rotting. My son was walking on the dock and a board broke, luckily he was not injured. I contacted the number provided, NO ONE has even acknowledged my phone call. I also left a note regarding the situation when we left. Again, no response.
We are including linens, but we are asking people to bring their own towels!!
Steps from house to the water.
Not suitable for small children, elderly or infirmed.
$500 fine for any pet brought on the premises or smoking inside the house.
To reserve the house, we require half the rental amount. 30 days prior to your arrival, the remaining half of the rental amount is due along with a separate check of $250 for the damage deposit.

Who else do you think the A's might call up in September once the minor league playoffs are over?
-Glenn, San Francisco
I think Ron Flores is a lock, and I felt the same about a third
catcher, which happened on Thursday. The Alberto Castillo call-up gives Ken Macha someone who can spell Jason Kendall and get Adam Melhuse into the lineup more often.
I can also see the A's adding another utility player like Hiram Bocachica or Jermaine Clark. Jack Cust is a possibility for his pop, as is Mike Rouse for his ability to play shortstop in the wake of Bobby Crosby's ankle injury.
Finally, Charles Thomas could get a call to give the team defensive help in the outfield.
Since I've done nothing but give a bunch of "maybes", here are my concrete predictions aside from the three that have already been recalled (Castillo, Juan Cruz and Matt Watson): Ron Flores, Hiram Bocachica and Mike Rouse.
Why was Daric Barton sent to the Arizona Fall League instead of being a MLB call-up? What do you think of the A's Arizona Fall League players?
-Jeff, Fremont
The easy answer to this question: Jairo Garcia. Sure, one is a hitter and one is a pitcher, but the key here is the developmental arc. Bear with me.
Garcia began 2004 in A-ball before making a meteoric rise through the A's farm system. The big league club, desperate for bullpen help, bought into the hype surrounding Jairo and handed him a Major League job. His performance for Oakland was predictably bad. I think we all hoped that he would turn into a green-and-gold version of K-Rod, but 21 year-olds who are capable of dominating big league hitters are exceedingly rare.
The major downside is that the A's probably stunted Jairo's growth with that premature promotion. There he was, dominating at every level and building confidence in his stuff… then all of a sudden he was getting torn up in the big leagues. His command, which was already an area that needed improvement, disappeared. It's clear now that he needed more time in AAA.
Rushing Barton could have a similar effect, and I don't think the A's want any part of that. It's a risk versus reward scenario, and the probability of Barton making a positive impact on the big league standings this year was remote. Remember that he, like Garcia last season, began the year in A-ball. He is on the fast-track due to his skill, but the A's will not rush him for fear of damaging his growth curve.
Do you see any current A's prospects challenging for a spot on the Opening Day roster next year like Huston Street, Nick Swisher and Joe Blanton did this year?
-Greg, Denver
In short, no. To answer this question properly one must consider potential holes on the big league club as well as any particular prospect's polish and talent. Right now, the organization doesn't have any prospects that have already performed well at AAA for a full season. As I already mentioned, pitchers like Street are a rarity, so it falls to the prospect pipeline.
Last year, the River Cats boasted three legitimate prospects that had strong full seasons for them in Blanton, Swisher and Dan Johnson. This year the only two that even come close are Dan Meyer and Jairo Garcia. Meyer has had a very disappointing year and is hurt again, which makes Garcia the most likely candidate. Don't get me wrong though; Garcia has command issues he still needs to iron out and certainly has not mastered AAA. He does, however, fit the profile that this year's rookies fit: He's young, talented and plays a position at which the big league club might have a need.
There are a few long-shots at AA worthy of mention. Andre Ethier, for one, who could play leftfield if the A's don't have Jay Payton next year. Daric Barton is also a possibility, though he'd need to have a monster spring to convince the A's he's ready for the big-time. In both cases it isn't likely that the A's will want to risk development, which means the stars will have to align for either one to skip AAA.
Who do you think the A's best rookie has been this season?
-Jennifer, Merced
I'm going to go with Huston Street. It's easy to say that his performance is less impressive because he's a relief pitcher, but Oakland fans need only look back to last year's bullpen to recognize Street's value. Let's review his numbers: In 65 2/3 innings he has allowed 39 hits, 9 earned runs and 23 walks. He is 18-for-22 in save chances, but two of those blown "chances" came as a setup man – one in the 7th inning, the other when he allowed a single hit after entering the game with a Juan Cruz mess on the bases. And the rest of his numbers are Eck-like: 63 strikeouts, a 1.23 ERA and a .173 opponents' average against. That ranks him among the best closers in baseball.
I don't want to take away from what the other guys have done. Johnson has been a professional hitter ever since his call-up. He has smart ABs almost every time he steps in the batter's box and does an excellent job of recognizing pitches (Eric Chavez could learn a thing or two). I'm not sure what his ceiling is, but right now I think it's the pre-steroids Jason Giambi level of productivity. Figure 20-25 homers, nice on-base percentage and a strong effect on the rest of the lineup through his ability to see lots of pitches and wear the opposing team out.
Joe Blanton has shocked me with his improvement this year. Just shocked me. When I watched his start in Tampa on May 25th (seven earned runs in 1/3 of an inning) I thought he would never be more than a #5 starter. His command was poor, his breaking stuff was too predictable and his fastball too straight. Wow, was I wrong, or what? He has improved a little bit in every start this summer and turned himself into a battler who is able to get outs on willpower alone. He could wind up winning 14-17 games at his peak.
Finally, Nick Swisher has provided spark and power, though I think he doesn't quite measure up to the other three. Still, it is very encouraging that he has improved so much during the season. For one, he seems to be getting better jumps and taking better routes defensively, with fewer of those madman dives that look full of effort but cost the team two extra bases. He also has had more strings of good ABs, though he has not eliminated the bad ones where he over-swings or goes after bad pitches in hitters' counts. The power is there. The patience he displayed in college and in the minors is not. At least not yet.

Internal candidates bolster outlook for Brewers' pitching rotation
With several pitching prospects in the Brewers' farm system performing well this year, it's possible to dream about a day when there will be an entirely homegrown starting rotation in Milwaukee.
But what about next year and the year after that? The Brewers paid for free-agent pitchers Kyle Lohse and Matt Garza over the past two years but should be in a position to divert funds to other areas of the club.
Lohse has another year on his contract and Garza three more, so we know they will be back in 2015. Wily Peralta is under club control for four more years and soon could be the No. 1 starter.
Barring a complete collapse or major injury to Yovani Gallardo, you can assume the Brewers will pick up his $13 million option for next season because that's sort of the going rate for a pitcher with his background.
It remains to be seen if Marco Estrada, who has one more year before free agency, will stay in the rotation after this season, especially with No. 1 prospect Jimmy Nelson ready for the big leagues.
It's more fun to speculate about the 2016 rotation. There is good reason to believe Peralta and Nelson will be in the Nos. 1-2 spots at that point. Garza will have two years remaining on his contract so count him in. But let's assume Gallardo and Lohse are gone via free agency by then.
Who would fill the other two spots in the rotation?
It could be as simple for the Brewers as moving right-hander Tyler Thornburg and lefty Will Smith from the bullpen to the starting rotation. Thornburg went 2-1 with a 1.47 ERA in seven starts in the second half of last season and could easily transition back to the rotation.
Smith has pitched so well in high-leverage relief situations, you wouldn't move him out of the bullpen without thinking twice. He came to the big leagues with Kansas City but was 6-9 with a 5.32 ERA in 16 starts in 2012 before being moved to relief work. Still, he has the arm to do it and would be a rare lefty in the rotation.
What happens with Mike Fiers will be interesting to watch. He was a sensation upon coming to the big leagues in 2012, going 8-6 with a 2.88 ERA in his first 16 starts. But he caved in after that, going 1-4 with a 7.09 ERA over his last six outings.
Fiers had a lost season in 2013, getting sent to the minors and then breaking his arm when hit by a line drive. But he resurfaced in a big way this year at Class AAA Nashville, going 6-3 with a 2.53 ERA in 11 starts with 92 strikeouts in 672/3 innings, and was recalled Saturday to help out in the bullpen with Thornburg going on the DL with elbow soreness.
Pitching prospects Taylor Jungmann and Jed Bradley, both taken in the first round of the 2011 draft, have shown improvement this season and recently moved up to Nashville and Class AA Huntsville, respectively. They could force their way into the Brewers' picture by 2016, also, if they continue to move forward in the minors.
The point is that the Brewers will have more internal candidates for their starting rotation in the coming years than at any point in club history. And we're not talking merely about warm bodies a la Marshall Boze or Wes Obermueller. We're talking about legitimate major-league pitchers.
"You want to have as much depth as possible because you know they won't all make it," said Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash. "We have a good group of pitchers who are knocking on the door and there's another group of good arms at the lower levels."
One that got away
When N.C. State left-hander Carlos Rodon was taken with the third overall selection in the 2014 draft by the Chicago White Sox, it wasn't the first time Rodon's name was called by a major-league club.
The Brewers selected Rodon in the 16th round of the 2011 draft out of Holly Springs (N.C.) High School. They offered a signing bonus far above that slot — reportedly $500,000 — but Rodon opted to go to college and evolved into one of the best college pitchers in the country and was thought to be the favorite for the No. 1 overall pick for a while.
Part of the scouting report on Rodon said, "his strong frame is built for durability and he has all the ingredients to become a true No. 1 starter."
"We had him in our sights and went well above slot but could not get to the family's number," said Brewers amateur scouting director Bruce Seid. "The family decided it was best for him to go to school at that point.
"It's a great family and we have a very good relationship with them."
Abandoning hot corner
The 2005 draft was considered one of the strongest in many years in terms of talent and dubbed the "College Third Basemen Draft" by many.
With the second pick of that draft, Kansas City selected Nebraska third baseman Alex Gordon. After Seattle made the biggest mistake in the top half of the draft by taking Southern Cal catcher Jeff Clement, Washington picked Virginia third baseman Ryan Zimmerman and the Brewers took Miami third baseman Ryan Braun.
One by one, those highly touted third basemen switched positions after arriving in the majors. Braun was the NL rookie of the year in 2007 but committed 26 errors in 112 games at third and was moved the next season to left field, where he became an all-star and Gold Glove finalist before switching to right field this year.
Gordon, who took much longer than Braun to figure out hitting at the big-league level, moved to left field for good in 2011 after seeing considerable action there the previous season. He, too, took to the position with aplomb and has won two Gold Gloves.
Zimmerman immediately was recognized as the best defensive third baseman of that talented trio. But he began experiencing shoulder issues in recent seasons and his throwing became more erratic and problematic.
With young Anthony Rendon ready to take over at third base, the Nationals finally moved Zimmerman to left field last week in what might not be a permanent move. Bryce Harper is due back from a thumb injury in a month.
Zimmerman agreed to the move because he felt it not only best for himself but the team.
"Our window is now," he said. "This team's good enough to win a World Series, I think. But you just never know. Realistically, we're only going to be together for this year and next year. I want to win, and it might have to be now.
"Anthony's been playing the hell out of third base this year. I've got to be honest with myself. I've never shied away from the truth. I'm not dumb, either."
A burning desire
Have you ever noticed that when Brewers centerfielder Carlos Gomez fouls a pitch straight back, he usually steps out of the batter's box and holds his bat to his nose and takes a sniff?
Why does Gomez do that, you ask? When a batter fouls a pitch straight back, the friction created makes the wood smell like it's burning where the ball was struck.
No, Gomez has not found a new way to get high on the playing field. He smells his bat to find the exact "burning" spot where he hit the ball to see if he's getting the barrel of the bat on it as desired.
"When you have an old bat that has (hit) a lot of foul balls, it's hard to know where you hit the ball by looking," explained Gomez. "If you smell it, you can tell better.
"That's why I smell the bat. It's the easiest way to tell. I don't know why other guys don't do it. I've always done it."
Don't be surprised if Gomez is back in the leadoff position in the Brewers' batting order soon. As soon as manager Ron Roenicke thinks Aramis Ramirez is ready to return to the cleanup spot, he plans to put Gomez back atop the lineup.
"According to the personnel we have, I like him first," said Roenicke. "When 'Braunie' and 'Rami' are right, we've got 3-4 covered as good as anybody can cover it. Then, you've got a guy that's really scary leading off a game.
"'Gomey' creates a lot of problems when he's leading off. And you get him up more than anybody else on the team. So, I think that's a good spot for him."
No go on Morales
Once the first round of the 2014 draft was done, free agent Kendrys Morales no longer had draft-pick compensation attached to signing him. On Saturday, the Minnesota Twins signed Morales for a prorated $12 million salary, which worked out to be $7.6 million.
Many residents of Brewer Nation expected Milwaukee to jump in big on Morales and make him their first baseman, but that never was a strong possibility. There were several reasons general manager Doug Melvin and his staff had only passing interest in Morales, but these were the top three:
1. The money Morales was seeking.
2. Possible limitations at first base.
3. There is no DH in the NL.
The Brewers weren't sure how much first base they could get out of the switch-hitting Morales.
Since breaking his lower left leg in a home-plate celebration with the Los Angeles Angels on May 29, 2010, and missing the next season, he has started 213 games at DH and only 59 at first base.
The way the Brewers saw it, why pay a lot of money to a player who might be unable to play regularly at first base?
If they were going to do that, they could have saved a bunch of dough and stuck with Juan Francisco in the spring.
While some fans might not understand, the Brewers are mostly satisfied with their first-base platoon of Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay. Reynolds again is hitting for a low average with a lot of strikeouts but leads the team in home runs, and Overbay has swung the bat better of late. Both are above-average fielders, which Melvin doesn't take lightly, not to mention positive clubhouse influences.
The Brewers also think prospect Hunter Morris could still make it to the big leagues and be a serviceable player despite struggling at Nashville in 2013. This season, Morris is faring better there, batting .280 with eight homers, 29 RBI and a .325 OBP in 58 games.
MLB: San Francisco LHP Madison Bumgarner
The reigning NL player of the month for May (5-0, 2.08 ERA in six starts) got off to a strong start in June on Thursday in Cincinnati by limiting the Reds to three hits and one run over eight innings. Bumgarner has 90 strikeouts in 802/3 innings this season.
BREWERS: C Jonathan Lucroy
After batting .347 with a .416 OBP in May, Lucroy is off to a hot start in June. He is 9 for 24 (.375) in seven games this month with two homers and five RBI.
A's at Angels: Monday-Wednesday. L.A. looks to close ground.
Nationals at Giants: Monday-Thursday. Big challenge for Nats.
Tigers at White Sox: Monday-Thursday. Big lead has shrunk.
Blue Jays at Orioles: Thursday-Sunday. O's looking to climb.
The Brewers get their last day off Monday until June 30, then play three games in New York against the Mets. They come home for a three-game series against Cincinnati before heading right back on the road during a stretch of 15 of 18 games away from Miller Park.
Cleveland right-hander Corey Kluber went 4-0 with a 2.09 ERA in May with 60 strikeouts in 43 innings. The 60 strikeouts were the most in the majors in May since Arizona's Curt Schilling had 62 in 2002 and most in any month by an Indians pitcher since Dennis Eckersley whiffed 60 in September 1976.
The Philadelphia Phillies have not won more than three games in a row in over a year.
After Philadelphia lost its sixth in a row Thursday to fall 10 games under .500, it became panic-button mode.
"It's getting out of control now," said shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
Before beating Cincinnati, 8-0, Friday, Philly had gone 9-20 since May 5 and were shut out seven times during that stretch. In 58 games, they had scored three or fewer runs 30 times.
"We have a chance to go out and change that tomorrow," said Rollins.
"If not, that's a decision management is going to have to make either way."
Fire sale, anyone?
"We're not doing anything right now, so we've got to start playing better. Everybody is unhappy with the way we're playing."
Hanley Ramirez,Dodgers shortstop
Class AAA Nashville
INF Jeff Bianchi was outrighted to the Sounds to find his stroke and he is doing that. Through seven games, he is hitting .370 with a .433 OBP and 1.026OPS.
Class AA Huntsville
RHP Tanner Poppe, promoted after posting a 2.25 ERA with nine saves in 12 relief outings with Brevard County, has a 1.17 ERA through his first six games with the Stars. Overall, Poppe has 25 strikeouts in 232/3 innings.

Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On...
This is the saga of the Neverending Battle for the 'lost' Superman story.
In 1988 the character of Superman turned 50, if you were reading comic books back then you'd recall it. Television specials, Time Magazine, articles everywhere - hell the fever even reached Australia with the television special being broadcast in prime-time, believe it or not. However all that paled in comparison to what Cleveland was preparing. Why Cleveland? That's the spiritual, and physical, birthplace of Superman! You see the characters creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, originally conceived the character in that very town. Part of the celebrations revolved around the creation of a Superman Museum and associated items (as late as June 2008 the museum idea is still being floated). In an interview with George Khoury for Jon Cooke's Comic Book Artist #21, writer Tony Isabella expands on his role, "The goals of the organization were to honour Siegel and Shuster during the 50th anniversary of Superman to host a convention for that purpose, to erect a Superman statue honouring them, and to create a Siegel & Shuster Museum of Comics and Science Fiction. It accomplished the first of two of those goals." Another of the organisations goals was to create an all-new comic book that would be published outside of DC's continuity (indeed this book wouldn't be published by DC at all) with the profits being used to help fund the museum. The original art for the story would then be donated to the museum to be placed on permanent display. Creators were approached and stories written and drawn. So what happened and why haven't you seen it yet?
Tony Isabella was approached to oversee the project and recruit writers and artists. One of the first he approached was Dave Gibbons, then fresh from the success of the critically acclaimed Watchmen and also the penciler of one of the best Superman stories in recent times, the Alan Moore written 'For The Man Who Has Everything', the latter being how the character should have been handled all along - and don't just take my word on it, go and find a copy of Superman Annual #11 and read it yourself. If you're not stunned then something is very wrong. Gibbons wrote and drew a framing sequence and then approached some of his counterparts in England to fill out the rest of the story titled "Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On". These creators were pencilers Brian Bolland, Alan Davis, Garry Leach, John Higgins, Paul Neary and Mark Farmer, who, assisted by Richard Starkings on lettering, managed to produce a stunning six page story. As Dave Gibbons recalls, "In a nutshell, I was approached by Tony Isabella to assist in a project to honour Siegel and Shuster on the occasion of a big shindig in their home town of Cleveland, Tony also being a native of that city. I talked a handful of my compatriots into contributing and supplied the overall framing device, illustrating the first and last pages and a retro-styled tribute of my own."
Others also remember the project with mixed feelings. Garry Leach, who supplied the images you're now seeing, recalls, "As I remember it, I had a call from Dave who told me about the whole Superman museum project. The idea wasn't to produce a comic, but new pages that would be on permanent display and could be used by the museum. It was a freebie job, so it wasn't going to be that complex an idea or time consuming. He had the idea of the crystal as a framing sequence so we could all depict our Superman pages without needing to cross reference each others pages, ( those were pre-jpeg days) and keep it all as simple as possible. Dave wrote his own framing pages and Brian, Alan and myself all scripted our own. I wasn't a big Superman fan in general, but I did love the old 80 pg giant annuals, which is apparent in my more nostalgic contribution.
"Dave was acting editor so the pages were sent on to him, luckily he had the foresight to photocopy the completed story before fed-xing it off to the states and eventual oblivion. On the plus side, I'm an unashamed hoarder and kept my set of photocopies, the job turned out pretty nifty for a quickie, freebie."
All the pages were finished and the story handed in. So why did it never see print? In his interview with George Khoury Tony Isabella hinted at a possible reason, "The most concise version of why the benefit/tribute comic book wasn't completed and published was that NEB went bust in rather spectacular fashion." Alan Davis recalls events slightly differently, and offers a more likely scenario, "I know I wrote the story for my portion of the job and Paul Neary inked it and I think (emphasizing think, absolutely NOT certain) Tony Isabella originated the project as something to celebrate the impending anniversary-- and to be archived in some museum or other as a permanent tribute. I, we, had done our work when it transpired that DC hadn't/wouldn't give their approval and the whole thing fell through." Garry Leach recalled recently, "Nothing happened for a whole while, there were grapevine rumblings about 'problems' and then finally we heard that the project had collapsed, contributed art had gone 'missing', it was all a big, bad tasting mess, but not uncommon, then or now. Good intentions are fine in theory, but reality is a hard master." Dave Gibbons was able to turn the negative into a positive though, "For whatever reasons, the planned comic never materialized and the story was "lost". However, I did re-use the framing device for an intro and outro to a compilation of Superman text stories that, I believe, George R.R. Martin edited, later in the decade."
What happened to the original art? That's another mystery and one that, to date, has yet to be solved. The most common theory is that the art was stolen. Certainly no-one associated with the story had their art returned. Garry Leach, "As for the original art, well it used to get stolen all the time from publishers, so no surprise there. 9 years later I had an entire Thunder Agents story boosted from the office and that pissed me off a hell of a lot more.... but I'd dearly love to know which slimy bastard swiped an entire charity job." Dave Gibbons can't recall what happened to the art other than to say, "I really don't know what happened to the original art for that "jam" story, but it wasn't commissioned by DC." The best guess is that someone lifted the art, either in transit, or at the museum itself, but frankly until it surfaces no-one will ever really know, or, at least, they're not going to be telling. So if you're offered this art as a collector, just remember, *choke* it's stolen. We're just lucky that Dave Gibbons copied the art and sent it out to all concerned at the time; otherwise this would be another lost story that we'd only be hearing about and not seeing. Perhaps one day DC will pick the story up and run it in one of their own books…perhaps.
Until then, click the images and enjoy one of the classic 'Lost' Superman stories!
