To Russia with love? Dream is on as Gareth McAuley and Jonny Evans point way
Northern Ireland's latest World Cup journey has begun. And it will end in Russia if Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley continue to produce as they did in the 0-0 draw in Prague last night.
The West Bromwich Albion duo were outstanding - the most impressive performers for manager Michael O'Neill in a patchy but ultimately rewarding evening.
O'Neill's men were not at their best in their opening Group C qualifier against the Czech Republic. Digging out a precious point, however, was a highly acceptable start to the campaign and a bitter blow for the Czechs who will feel they should have claimed all three.
Even allowing for the excellence of Evans and McAuley at the back, the home side had chances. You would have expected that with the amount of possession they enjoyed.
Northern Ireland will feel fortunate that when opportunities came the Czechs blew them, most notably Filip Novak who somehow screwed a shot wide from seven yards with the goal at his mercy in the second half.
I have a feeling Novak and his team-mates are going to regret that when the qualifiers are over.
After the epic Euro 2016 adventure, prior to last night's clash with the Czechs, there was hope and expectation amongst the Green and White Army that Northern Ireland could be Moscow bound in 2018, 32 years after their last appearance at the World Cup finals.
But the supporters aren't stupid.
They all know the way to get there will be through the play-offs.
For the 2018 World Cup, there is only one automatic place guaranteed and that goes to the team topping the table.
As sure as Strictly Come Dancing will beat The X-Factor in the TV ratings, World Champions Germany will finish first in Group C.
They issued a notice of intent with a 3-0 away win in Norway to kick-off their series with a bang.
That leaves Northern Ireland scrambling for a play-off place and a runners-up spot against Norway and the Czechs with Azerbaijan a dangerous commodity on their home turf and San Marino the whipping boys of the section. Had the Czechs won last night, as they should have done, they would have gained a crucial advantage on their rivals early on.
The fact they fluffed their lines will be huge for Northern Ireland as the group goes on.
Within the mini-league, O'Neill's men must come out on top against the Czechs and they will fancy doing that when the teams meet again at Windsor Park. There is nothing to fear from Norway either, especially with quality like Evans and McAuley on your side.
Word has it that West Brom boss Tony Pulis is considering his future over the club's transfer policy. If anything will make him stay it's knowing he will have the chance to work with quality defenders like 'Big G' and Jonny for another season.
What a boost it is to have McAuley, at 36, still playing international football. Fears that he would retire from Northern Ireland duty after Euro 2016 thankfully proved unfounded. In the first half he was superb against the Czechs.
Evans took up the mantle after the break, continuing his brilliant international form following on from his exceptional summer in France. With Craig Cathcart to return from injury, defensively Northern Ireland will be strong in this campaign and midfielders like Steven Davis will create more as the games progress.
One concerning issue for O'Neill, though, is in attack with Kyle Lafferty not playing at Norwich. That showed in his laboured 59 minutes last night.
Lafferty needs game time at club level.
Overall though, Northern Ireland can be content. The 0-0 draw in Prague gives O'Neill a platform for another thrilling ride.

Fortunately, the area is dry, which makes gathering firewood easier. In a few weeks, the cold will set in, and I'll need all the warmth I can get. This is probably my last chance to hunt for food, too. Maybe I can get lucky and find a deer, or at least something larger than a squirrel. I could use the meat.
Let me give you the grand tour of my little forest camp. Behind me is the makeshift shelter I built out of an oak tree that fell not too far from here. I used the thinner, flexible branches to tie everything together. The roof is made from mud and leaves. Not the prettiest, but it keeps me pretty dry, except in the harshest of storms.
On the other side of camp is my fire ring. Fire is both the life giver and the protector of my area. Larger predators, mostly wolves, shy away from my camp because I always keep a roaring fire at night. I don't know whether it's the heat or the light that keeps them at bay, and frankly, I don't care.
And finally, we have my food locker. Again, made of wood, I store my smoked meat in it. I know the smell of food will bring in more animals than I care to deal with, so I do my best to cover the smell with ground up plants and such. Lichens do a fine job, as do pine branches. In the weeks, months, however long I've been out here, it seems to work – sort of.
This is a good spot, as we're close to the river. Nothing says survival quite like fresh water and a good supply of fish. If you don't like fish, you'll get used to it. Just avoid eating the pike, they taste awful. As for the rest, just make sure you give them a thorough cooking over the fire; it gets the fish taste out.
You look like you have some questions again. Hold off on them for the time being and let me tell you a little about me. Years ago, an earthquake devastated my home town, shaking everything to the ground. I'd just gotten out of college--I'm an engineer--and had found my dream job when everything was taken away.
No shame in leaving a place devastated by disaster, right? Well, I thought so too, that is until I received word that my brother died. The fool didn't know what he was doing and ended up dying when a steel beam fell on him. He was helping in the rebuild, you see. You might call it survivor's guilt, or whatever fancy term they teach in Psych 101, but I know it should've been me. He didn't have the experience, the training that I had.
Shortly after, I left America and went overseas for a bit, living from hostel to hostel, like a drifter. My favorite place was Ireland. The people there were full of life and understanding. Some saw the pain, deep down again, yet never try to coax more out of me than I was willing.
Another good stop was New Zealand. I stowed away on a cargo ship to get there. The ride was terrible, but the island itself was amazing. The punchline of that story was I intended to go to Australia and mixed up the ships. Either way, it was well worth it. Just don't call the locals Kiwis. It turns out they really hate it.
My last stop was to return home, to face up to everything I was running from. When I got there, I saw the community had been rebuilt. I had an overwhelming sense of pride, but a great deal more shame. I should've stayed and helped, not run away. If I had, my brother might still be alive.
All of that, it's in the past. I'm doing my best out here, trying to make peace with what I've done and how I lived my life. Can't say it was the best way to live, but at the time I always made the choices I felt were right. I'm sure, since you're here with me, you've been faced with a lot of those times too.
That brings us back to where we are today. Everyone who ends up here did so because they couldn't accept that guilt they had. Think of this forest as a crossing, the roaring river below my camp the final hurdle if you will. No one knows for sure when the time will come to take the plunge and swim across, but I have it on good authority you'll know. As me for, I'm not ready yet, far from it.
Tell you what, it's getting late and there's not enough food for both of us here. If you'd be so kind as to grab that rifle over there, I'll teach you how to survive in this place, I call it The Grey Forest.
You want to know my name? My name's not important, not anymore, but I'll be your guide. Stick close to me and you'll be okay. And one day, in the future, maybe you'll be ready to take a swim to the other side.
What's on the other side? I couldn't rightfully tell you, but I'm sure it's a place better than here. Now, enough questions. Night's coming, and we have a lot to do. Let's go.

This 22-year-old lanky right-arm fast bowler from New Zealand scripted the perfect first-class debut for himself at 18 when he picked up a wicket with his second ball in the 2009-10 season. He finished with 4/52 – a dream debut for a young player.
Milne's maiden call up to the Black Caps came in the shortest format of the game when he was merely 18 and walked out to face Pakistan in December 2010. He was even named in New Zealand's 30-man probable squad for the 2011 World Cup.
He hit the headlines again when he was included in the Kiwi squad for the Word Twenty20 in 2012, the same year that he made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka and cemented a place in the national team.
His all out pace meant Milne was used sparingly and a breakout series finally came against Pakistan at the end of 2014. His ability to consistently ball at blazing speeds of 145-150 kmph made sure that the who's who of the cricketing world were talking about him. The selectors showed faith in him by naming him in New Zealand's squad for the 2015 World Cup.
This fiery young bowler clocked his fastest delivery at 153.2 kmph. He looks like a good option for RCB to bank on when wickets are needed upfront. His pace will come handy in such a case and he'll complement Mitchell Starc perfectly in sharing the new ball. A razor-sharp delivery that shapes back into the right-hander can provide RCB many a breakthrough this season.

Now, this isn't a spectacular jaunt into asceticism, this is just I HAVE TOO MUCH. And that's not bragging at all. But I would like to make the venture towards minimalism. Please don't roll your eyes. If I was trying to have a minimalism blog, I know I'd be about five years too late. I'm not here to inspire. (Unless I do!) I just want to find an outlet for holding myself accountable and maybe make a difference along the way. I hope this can become a resource for people trying to slowly, mindfully, and realistically vote with their dollars. (A little lofty, I know!) You'll probably hear me say "conscious consumerism" a lot in the future, but that's what it is! I'm new to this whole thing and conscious consumerism takes a good amount of research, but if you can't do it all, at least do something.
"Perfect is the enemy of good."— Voltaire
And that's the thing about being Eco-friendly, or a conscious consumer, you have to pick and choose your battles.
Oh yeah, back to "I have too much."
I went to college and was very involved in high school. (see also: extensive t-shirt collection)
I'm sentimental.
I used shopping for entertainment.
I use(d) shopping to elevate my mood. (see also: major shopaholic)
I want to change that.
Andrew Soloman says, "the opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality." I have found that to be So. Utterly. True. Thankfully, I've found some that of vitality lately. It's clearing out the clutter, getting things in order either processing them or making a plan to process them.
Admittedly, I'm not getting rid of much, yet. If I will, it will be a slow process. I HAVE noticed a change in energy with the minimal decluttering. I'm really just reorganizing stuff, which I know is a bit of a waste, but my space is more efficient, and I can tell. But, honestly, my clutter lies in my closet.
Right now I'm of the mindset "use it up and wear it out."
My makeup "collection" is mostly for utility so it's easy to go through products. It's really the clothes, shoes, and purses I've accumulated throughout the years. As for clothes, it doesn't help that my weight yo-yo's.
So far this year I've only bought consumables: food, toiletries, and maybe (ok, not maybe) I treated myself to a little makeup. I don't want to buy any more clothes, shoes, or purses in particular. That's really the no-buy. And it's not like in the past few years I've been shopping at Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters. Last year, I mostly shopped at thrift stores. I can't remember the last time I was at a mall with the intention of buying. (Does it make me a hipster if I went to the mall ironically with friends?)
But I've given myself some passes:
• Tartan Blanket Scarf
• An amazingly well-fitted pair of jeans. Either Levi's, Old Navy, J Brand, or BDG not from Urban Outfitters (Still need to do more in-depth research on these brands, especially J Brand, but I hear they have phenomenal jeans!)
• Workout Clothes (within reason)
• If I find a great flannel, or dress.
• Undergarments
• A Chic Sparrow Extra-Wide Traveler's Notebook (including accessories -although I'm aware of the addictive territory I'm getting myself into!)
That might be a lot for some people on a no-buy, but my intention behind this is to be mindful with my purchases, not find a random thingo at the thrift store. More importantly, I'm being honest. I'm not going to claim I'll adhere 100% (we're all human, right?), but it helps. By giving myself guidelines, I open myself up to not buy. Plus, now, my standards for all of these items are high, and hopefully better researched. (I would also like to note that I won't be constantly looking for these items. I will be planning ahead and should I have the funds, then I might make a trip to the Levi's store or plan out what I want for the Traveler's Notebook, etc.)
So join me on this journey!
If you've got an Eco-conscious blog, let me know in the comments below! I'm always looking for more knowledge. Any advice will be gladly appreciated and thoroughly considered, and I'd just love to chat!
And check out Recovering Shopaholic. Debbie Roes has created a great resource for those of us who have used shopping as an outlet. Her accountability posts have been an inspiration for my own. Anyway, I'll keep reading that with you as I gradually find resources for eco-consciousness.

American Catholics celebrate National Migration Week
From Many, One Family of God' is the theme for this year's National Migration Week, January 6-12, sponsored by Migration and Refugee Services of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB/MRS) . These words are accompanied by an image from the Gospel of Mark of Jesus feeding the crowds with multiplied loaves and the fishes. The message is one of assurance of the providence of God as well as a reminder that His abundance is meant to be shared with all people. This year's celebration marks the 27th annual National Migration Week observance. Bishop John C Wester of Salt Lake City, new chairman of the USCCB Committee on Migration, said that this year's theme "reminds us that though we come from many cultures and places, we are all part of one human family and members of the one Body of Christ. Sadly, rather than embracing newcomers to our land whose circumstances have compelled them to seek new lives among us, we too often respond in fear and harbor attitudes of resentment and suspicion." "The miracle of the loaves and fishes is God's promise not only to the disciples but to us as well. If we fail to minister to the needs of these newcomers, we fail our Lord himself," Bishop Wester said. "National Migration Week 2008 is a celebration of the diversity and richness of the family of God. When we set aside our concerns and share our resources, God's blessings extend to all of us." After failure by the US Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform last summer, the Catholic Bishops have vowed to continue raising their "prophetic voice calling the faithful and all people of goodwill to reach out in love and understanding to our migrant brothers and sisters. We must learn of the realities that cause them to leave all that is precious behind for an uncertain future, learn the truth about the many contributions they make and gifts they bring to our society, and work to reform our immigration laws that cause family disintegration and strife within communities," the bishops say. The Migration and Refugee Services of the USCCB has made several materials available to facilitate the observance of National Migration Week 2008. These materials include a prayer for migrants and refugees, bulletin inserts explaining the meaning and purpose of the celebration, a bilingual poster and a calendar for reflection for each day during the week of observance. Each day is devoted to one particular topic and contains a Scripture passage and suggestions for action. Information and materials for National Migration Week 2008 can be found at www.usccb.org/mrs/nmw.shtml.

A bubbly children's television host in Croatia was speaking about the importance of oxygen when she unexpectedly illustrated its importance by fainting into a wall full of props.
Zlata Muck began the program with a smile, rapidly saying: "Good morning and welcome to School hour…Today, the first 35 minutes of our show will be dedicated to one of the most important elements on Earth – oxygen."
Soon after — even if you can't technically understand her — it's clear that her words are starting to slow and she appears to be suffering from some sort of dizzy spell.
Within seconds she staggers and loudly crashes into the back wall, seemingly destroying a number of the items in the process. "Uuuhh," she moans as someone runs forward to help.
Local media reports indicate Muck's fainting spell is likely related to her recently-announced pregnancy. She is uninjured, and thankfully will suffer no lasting effects from the fall.
Here's video of the dramatic collapse:
If you thought was funny, be sure to tune into the BlazeCast next week when we debut our own Scott Baker's on-air fainting spell.

Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Dallas Mavericks. Oh, Merry Christmas and all that shit.
This time last year the Blazers celebrated Jesus' birthday by knocking off the Seattle Super Sonics—a team that does not even exist anymore (wow, my mind is blown)—and they are looking to do the same against Dallas tonight. The only thing standing in their way is a tall German man named Dirk Nowitzki. After the jump, USA vs. Germany. Good vs. Evil. Santa vs. the Germanic god Odin.
Onetime Dallas resident LaMarcus Aldridge has been known to light up his former hometown team—including a pair of 22 point games last year—and he'll need to rack up the baskets tonight in order to keep the pressure off Brandon Roy. Speaking of Roy, he sucks, it's been over a week without him scoring 52 points. Speaking of sucking: Greg Oden. Perhaps the big kid will drum up more points than fouls tonight. In the past two games he has 11 fouls, and 10 points.
Oh, and the Blazers are rocking the Christmas red jerseys tonight, while the Mavericks are wearing their festive green throwbacks. How adorable.
11:33 - Big news, 30 seconds in and Greg Oden has yet to commit a foul. I'll keep you updated every 30 seconds. 2-0 Mavs.
9:50 - It's been awhile since Batum had a big game on the offensive end of the hardwood, but 'lil Frenchie is off to a good start with a quick steal and a wide open three pointer. 7-2 Blazers.
8:48 - Roy just snapped Devan George's ankles as he polishes off a gorgeous drive and layup. Dallas panics, calls time out, and warms up the team bus for a quick retreat. 10-2 Portland.
7:20 - Big! German! Mad! Dirk just drops six points in a row and we're all tied up. 10-10.
4:15 - While Roy struggles to get his shot to drop, Dallas has no such issues with their unholy 66% average from the floor. 22-16 Mavs.
3:22 - Sergio Rodriguez just commits the rare, almost impossible, foul before playing an actual minute. Zero seconds on the court, one foul. Bravo, good sir. Bravo. 24-18 Dallas.
1:53 - To make up for his freakish statistical abnormality, Sergio hits a three. Meanwhile, on the defensive end of the floor, there, well, is no defense. Dallas is shooting 70%, scoring at will, and are on pace for a 35 point first quarter. 29-23 Dallas.
0:48 - Sergio to Rudy for an improbable reverse layup. That will make the highlight reel, and justify my purchase of that girly "I Heart Rudy" shirt. I'm cutting off the sleeves and bedazzling that thing. 31-28 Mavs.
9:40 - The Dallas scoring blitz is not just for the known players, even Antonie Wright and James Singleton (who?) are getting in on the action. If Shawn Bradley was still playing, he'd be knocking down the buckets as well. I think Mark Cuban just scored for them as well. 38-31 Dallas.
9:12 - Sergio Rodriguez is the leading scorer for the Blazers. He has 9 points. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. 41-33 Mavs.
5:46 - Josh Howarsd torches Roy for two more Dallas points. Not bad for a stoner who hates America. There will be no defense tonight. 49-41 Mavs.
4:20 - Rudy for three while getting hit by Jason Kidd. Why did Kidd hit him? He's not a woman. 51-44 Mavs.
2:44 - Roy is tripped up and hits the floor, yet somehow manages to control the ball and pass it to Batum, who then pauses and deposits it back with Roy for an acrobatic layup. 51-48 Portland.
1:39 - Oden's first foul comes not on an actual foul, but upon a clean block delivered to the mouth-breathing Nowitzki. That ain't right. 55-48 Dallas.
0:37 - In what was quite possibly the ugliest shot of the night—not taken by Oden—Steve Blake hits a corner three with a hand firmly planted in his grill. Then on the next play, Blake delivers to Roy for a quick score. To halftime we go—special guest, a "singing christmas tree"—with Dallas leading 59-55.
11:28 - Greg Oden misses a two-inch layup and then picks up a foul. At least he's consistent. 60-55 Dallas.
10:25 - Dirk Mad! Dirk Smash! Dirk gets foul and then technical foul! Grrr, Dirk kick innocent exercise equipment! 62-59 Portland.
9:07 - Oden's reputation as Captain Fouls-a-lot is not helping, as the big lad nets a pair of questionable whistles against him. 66-61 Mavs.
6:42 - It took awhile but Portland has the lead back in their posession, and the Mavs have another (un-Christmas like) technical foul. This one on their assistant coach. I'd be more impressed if their mascot got one. 67-66 Blazers.
4:41 - Flagrant fouls for everyone! Josh Howard gets a flagrant and a "T" for pushing the Vanilla Gorilla to the hardwood, and while Przybilla is shooting (and missing) his free-throw, Howard gives the Blazers a big fat Christmas gift by getting another technical, and thus is tossed from the game. 70-70 tie.
1:59 - Howard or no, Portland is woeful from the charity stripe (67%) and should be up a whole lot more than one measly point at this point in the game. 76-75 Blazers.
0:29 - Since it's his mom's birthday—and she is here tonight, all the way from Starkville Mississippi—Outlaw comes through with three excellent steals, one of which leads to a Blake three-point attempt that misses, but is tipped in by a high-flying Rudy. Portland lead, lots of momentum, no Josh Howard... 80-77 Blazers.
11:56 - Four seconds in and Sergio gets whistled for a foul. Well, at least he waited until the quarter started.
9:55 - So much for all that momentum. Two minutes pass and Portland has yet to place the ball in the hoop, while Dallas seems to have no such problem: 81-80 Mavs.
8:34 - LaMarcus Aldridge pushes Portland back ahead, but then grabs his fifth foul and a spot on the bench until the final minutes of the game. There goes the scoring option not named Brandon Roy. 83-82 Mavs.
6:58 - Mom's love dunks. That is why Outlaw broke off a massive slam. That is also why my mother is always disappointed in me. Hey, I do pretty well at H.O.R.S.E., is that worth something? 88-85 Portland.
4:15 - Kidd with a three, then a steal and a dish to Jason Terry for another three. Panic! 95-92 Mavs.
3:33 - Dallas' tiny lineup—Terry (6"2), Kidd (6"4), Barea (6"0)—has been able to penetrate and score at will against the Blazers' defense. While Oden has held his own, he isn't big/quick/good enough to scare the Mavs' smaller players from scoring in the paint. 97-92 Dallas.
2:39 - Take the ball to Dirk. He now has five fouls and without him in the game, Dallas might not ever score again. 99-94 Mavs.
1:09 - Hey, people in the good seats are leaving. Just proves the point that those with the best seats are seldom the best fans. 101-94 Mavs.
1:03 - While chasing down a lose ball Kidd mows over the referee. Surprisingly that is not considered a foul.
0:28 - And without much effort, that will about do it. The Blazers give up a few offensive rebounds, including one to the six-foot Barea' and the Mavs are just going to wind down the clock. Portland came into the fourth quarter with the momentum at their side—and a win in their sights—but only came through with a soft 14 points over the final 12 minutes. Hit the nog and burn down the tree, because this Christmas night is officially ruined. Final score: Dallas 102, Portland 94.

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Corpulent "Goon Show" regular Harry Secombe plays the title role in the British comedy Davy. Set in the rarefied world of the British music halls, the film focuses in on the Mad Morgans, a family song-and-dance act. It is clear that Davy Morgan is the star of the act, but he loyally remains with his family, even though he seems destined to spend the rest of his life in the Small Time. At long last, Davy gets a chance to perform at the Covent Garden--but only as a solo. Will ambition win out over family solidarity, or vice versa? A stellar supporting cast enables Davy to overcome its occasional banalities and cliches.

A host of SA celebrities hit the soccer pitch this past Monday, 2 November for Zakes Bantwini's 1Goal4Cancer campaign aimed at creating awareness and raising money for breast cancer awareness month. Team Zakes and Team AKA battled it out in the blazing sun at Discovery Soccer Park in Sandton – with a final score of 11:7 to Team AKA, rendering the team victorious for the second year running.
A high energy game provided for nail-biting spectating, as the teams gave it their all. Team Zakes, kitted out in specially designed kit sponsored by adidas, comprised Doctor Khumalo who scored 2 goals, Daine Klate who scored 3 goals, Good Hope FM's DJ Lloyd and Maps Maponyane who both scored 1 goal, Gerry Rantseli Elsdon who was a fearless goalie, as well as Donald, Slikour, Pearl Thusi and of course Bantwini himself.
Team AKA sported specially designed kit sponsored by Nike and included Lennox Bacela from Tuks FC who scored 2 goals, Darren and Ryan known as Twins on Decks who scored 6 goals between them, DJ Fanatic and DJ Franky who scored 1 goal each, Kwesta, Kid X, Ma-E, Siya Mdluli aka Cashtime Siya, club owner/promoter and director Allesio as goalkeeper as well as AKA who scored 1 goal for his team. Team AKA was victorious again and took great pleasure in raising the 1Goal4Cancer floating trophy, this year sponsored by MASCULIN.
Bantwini lost his mother to cancer in 2007 and has been outspoken about the importance of raising awareness and encouraging people to get the necessary medical checks ever since. Nominations and pledges to donate towards the initiative are being driven via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook using #1goal4cancer with proceeds going to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA). Any donations can be made direct to CANSA: ABSA Account Number: 1126560482 and bank code: 632005 using the reference 1Goal4Cancer.

Testing times for our new designs
Back in May, we quietly released new versions of our article and gallery pages to 1% of the Mirror.co.uk audience. The pages weren't finished, but we wanted to know how they would perform for real users, on real hardware, over real Internet connections — so out they went, blinking and staggering, into the harsh light of the real world.
Testing ideas on part of the audience isn't anything new. We frequently run multivariate tests using Optimizely and other tools, for example to determine the best design for the play button on our video player. Optimizely segments the users and overwrites the standard code with the designs we want to test. We monitor the stats to see which one performs best, and then implement the winner.
For the article and gallery pages, we needed a different approach. One of the key goals of the current project is to make the pages faster, and you can't test load speed by sending users the existing (slow) page, then overwriting it with the new (faster) code. Instead, we had to split the users as the page requests came in, then send out new pages to 1% of them. We did this using Akamai's Audience Segmentation Cloudlet, which splits the users and then cookies them so they get a consistent experience.
New pages? Check
Audience segmentation? Check
Ready to go? Not quite…
Simple complexity
If you want a team of 100 people to move in the same direction, they need a goal that's clear and easy to remember. "Serve the new pages to 1% of the audience" meets those criteria.
I could fluff that up to a user story:
As a grumpy and sceptical product manager, I want to serve the new pages to 1% of the audience, so I can see what we need to fix
Or I could write it like this:
Given a user is in the test segment
When they view an article page
Then they should see the new design
Both formats have their uses, but if you want focus a team, simpler is better, so "Serve the new pages to 1% of the audience" will do.
Do I really mean that? Of course not.
There are complexities around the new pages, and even more around the 1%. Do we serve articles with features that aren't supported yet? Yes, but with appropriate messaging. Do we include people with old versions of Internet Explorer? No, because the new pages have some browser-specific issues that will affect their experience and skew the data. Do we include people on our network, who might get confused and raise support calls? Yes, we want their buy in and need their feedback, so we'd better let them know about the test. Do we have the right analytics in place to measure the impact. Hmm, work to do there…
I could write those things down as acceptance criteria, but that'd turn a simple statement into an essay. As a Head of Product managing a handful of product managers, it isn't my job to spell out the requirements or prescribe the solution. The product managers and engineers in our cross-functional teams are closer to the details and better placed to work things out. If I start doing their jobs, what are they supposed to do?
I like to do stuff. I like to build things, solve problems, turn new ideas into something tangible. That's not my job, though, unless we're going to count creating a presentation to persuade a group of senior stakeholders that releasing a set of unfinished pages is actually a good idea. My job is to make complicated things simple, so my team can make them complicated again.
It boils down to two things:
If I can't state the goal in simple terms, I won't get what I want
If I can't trust my team to work out the details, I'm not managing them right
What they said, and what they did
So, we served the new pages to 1% of the Mirror audience, and in June we started serving them to 1% of the Liverpool Echo audience as well.
We invited users in the test group to tell us what they liked, and what could be improved. Some of them said nice things:
Looks more professional and sharp in terms of design. Layout is clear.
It's much quicker to load.
Some were very specific:
How do I print off a crossword? It falls over two pages now, and won't print off.
I don't understand why the menu bar along the top keeps disappearing. It is important to have it permanently there.
Auto hide the header, it is distracting.
And, of course, some of them hated it:
Stop trying to make it look hip and modern. Why is everything BIG? It looks stupid and it makes the page difficult to read.
Go back to normality please.
Given people don't like change, and are more motivated to complain than to praise, the overall mix was encouraging.
User feedback provides helpful insights, but what users actually do is equally important. Throughout the trial, we've been tracking how many people click the 'Go to old site' link and drop through the escape hatch to 'normality'. Fewer than 1 in 500 people are taking that option.
There are nuances and complexities to the data, and there's more work to be done, but if I frame the results with the same simplicity as the test, the conclusion is that users like the new experience better.

A kayak fisherman in Australia had just lost a good-sized pink snapper when he heard a big splash behind him.
"When I turned around I was greeted with a 4-meter [13-foot] shark," Michael Robertson wrote on his YouTube video description, later telling PerthNow, "I'm pretty sure he gobbled the snapper I lost."
Robertson was kayak fishing with a friend in Cockburn Sound on Wednesday when he encountered a great white shark. Once the presence of the shark became known, Robertson began quickly paddling away, but then noticed he had company.
"It's just following me," he said in the video. "A great white's following me, man. It's big, whatever it is."
Robertson dipped his camera into the water and, as luck would have it, captured the moment the great white shark closed in and encountered his secret weapon. The long line below the kayak in the Daily Mail video above is a Shark Shield, an electric device that repels sharks using an electromagnetic field.
The Shark Shield doesn't harm the shark but causes it to experience uncomfortable muscle spasms.
"It followed me for about two or three minutes and disappeared when it came within range of my Shark Shield," Robertson wrote.
Here is Robertson's entire video:
WAToday.com wrote, "Shark Shield saves Perth angler from shadowing 'great white.'"
Fortunately the deterrent worked. If it hadn't, Robertson pictured a more terrifying scenario.
"The kayak is 13-feet long, and the shark was easily as long and a lot wider," Robertson told PerthNow. "I was thinking, 'He could take a bite and take the whole front off if he wanted.'"
RELATED: Shark pursues kayaker to beach in suspenseful encounter off Florida; video
After the encounter, Robertson and Campbell Ryan headed back in. Ryan later told Robertson he had seen a "bloody great fin" behind him.
Robertson told PerthNow that he had hoped a couple of fishermen in a small boat would come and scare the great white shark away, but as it turned out, his secret weapon did the trick quite nicely.

Lost And Confused - Poem by Kelsey Joe
It's dark and cold outside
And I'm walking down this road,
I don't really know why, I just am
Lost in the memories I hold.
I feel like I'm stalked
By my own shadow,
But I know it's stalking me anyways,
I want it to go away
But it won't, it just stays.
I couldn't take to much
So I just walked out the door
Instead of falling down
On the cold, wooden floor.
I keep on walking
I still dont know why I am
I just want out of this Hell
But I guess you could say I'm damaged.
I stare at the grey, gloomy sky
And I stumble over my feet
I can barely stand up on my own
I just feel way to weak.
I pass a dear friend's house
I just stare and then turn
My insides just hurt more
My soul feels like it's going to burn.
Still walking down this road
I'm getting very cold
And I think I may fall over
And turn into a hard round stone.
I can't walk anymore
I know I'm going to die
So with my last taking breath
I say my 'Goodbyes'.
My eyes are starting to close
And I'm not very amused
I'm sitting in this cold gloomy weather
So lost and confused.

Americans already have to spend too much of their income on insurance and you think more is good?
Look at all the activities that can no longer be enjoyed due to liability because of feal lawyers.
And how are people unable to meet obamacare mandates going to afford gun insurance ?
This is aimed solely at discouraging firearms ownership, and should be stopped.
I never said it was good.
Just saying that the NRA could take lemons and make lemonade. (sort of like they do with theft insurance on firearms when you become a member.)

USA TODAY Sports
The New Orleans Pelicans look for another win after winning seven of their last nine games. The New Orleans Pelicans are averaging 102.8 points on 44.7 percent shooting and allowing 105 points on 45.8 percent shooting. Anthony Davis is averaging 22.9 points and 10.3 rebounds while Ryan Anderson is averaging 17.5 points and 6.1 rebounds.

The Grizzlies are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 meetings in New Orleans and 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall.
Are the Pelicans back to being a possible playoff team? New Orleans is playing its most consistent and best basketball right now. At home, hard to bet against New Orleans here, especially with Memphis suspect on the road.

Trigger warning for bullying and suicide
A young British Columbian woman, Amanda Todd, committed suicide on Wednesday after a long assault by her peers. People call it cyber-bullying but when are we going to get real about this and call it what it really is? Abuse, verbal, mental and emotional, and now we've lost another youth to it. Last year there was a spate of LGBTQI youth suicides thanks to this kind of abuse. We don't tolerate it when it happens between spouses, or adults in the work-place, so why are some people *still* saying "Well kids will be kids" or worse, that she deserved the treatment she recieved? Because it's kids, it's 'just' teenagers. That's bullshit, and thankfully while public opinion is changing and things are swinging around, these kinds of massive societal shifts take time, and it's taking longer than some of our youth have.
If you're someone who's considering suicide, or being bullied or abused by people in your life, there's some things you need to know-
- You're not alone. Almost everyone gets bullied, or has been bullied, at one point or another. I remember getting made fun of in grade school for wearing old, hand-me-down clothes. One winter I had a snowsuit that used to be my mom's from like, the 1970's. It was functional if not fashionable but man it made my life hell. Most people are Other in some way, and most abusers are just putting you down in order to make themselves feel strong and in control.
- There are a LOT of resources out there for you, please reach out and use them. Places like The Trevor Project, Kid's Help Phone, your teachers, counsellor, doctor, siblings, parents, friends and others are ALL just waiting for you to say something. ANYTHING. Friends and family aren't mind readers so you need to take the first step and let them know what's going on. Your friends and family may suspect you're being hurt, but probably don't want to jump to conclusions, or invade your privacy. SPEAK UP.
- You're not weak or stupid for getting help. Reaching out when you need it can be the strongest, bravest act you ever take. When I was suicidal after my son was born it took six weeks for me to say something to my husband and we immediately got me help. Why did it take six weeks? Because I thought I could handle how I felt by myself, and then later when my depression got really bad, I thought that people would think I was a bad parent for how I was thinking and feeling. Turns out saying "I'm not ok" saved my life, and it could save yours too.
- Speak up for yourself, and for others. If you see someone being harassed at school and you feel strong enough to do so, speak up for them. I know this might make you a target too, but a lot of times all there needs to be is one person who says "Hey, knock it off. You're not funny/cool. You're being an ass." to knock the wind out of a bully. If YOU can't say something, please tell your teacher or other school administrators. It's part of their job to look out for students and protect them.
- Often, it gets better. Sometimes it doesn't. There will always be assholes in the world who get their rocks off by demeaning others. Surround yourself with people who love and accept you for who you are, and who are willing to learn and grow with you along life's Path, and I guarantee that it'll make things easier.
My inbox is open to anyone who wants to chat, though I'm no professional counsellor. If you need help right now, please contact the Kid's Help Phone (1-800-668-6868) and talk to someone. Good luck to you, and may Amanda and all the other youths who have taken their own lives rest in peace.

just in time for the holidays, we got two kit kat flavors from kyushu for you-shu. and, holy hells, they are both delicious!
let's start with the beni imo kit kats!
beni imo is a sweet potato from okinawa and south kyushu. the potato itself is purported to have excellent beta carotene content. they're also supposed to have more antioxidants than blueberries. that is a freakin' healthy sweet potato! i'm not sure if the health benefits extend to the kit kats but, hey, we had five of them in our box!
the kit kat was coated with a lavender colored white chocolate.
i didn't really pick up on any sweet potato taste (maybe i was expecting more of a north american powerhouse yam type thing) but this had a nice flavor and was very mild. very enjoyable!
our second kyushu kit kat was amaou strawberry! the word "amaou" itself is trademarked and is an acronym of the japanese words for "red" (akai), "round" (marui), "big" (oki) and "tasty" (umai). and while the kit kats themselves weren't round or big, they were CERTAINLY red(ish) and tasty!
once again there were five in the package.
upon opening, there was an amazing strawberry scent. promising! did it deliver? OF COURSE!
amaou strawberry kit kats taste exactly like what you think of when you think of strawberries. SO GOOD! it almost reminded me of strawberry qwik in the best way possible. this was my favorite kit kat of the two.
need more japanese kit kats? here are eight more flavors. (oh, i know. i know. XD)

|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
Welcome to our family's vacation home at Loon Mountain.
Location, Location, Location - Forest Ridge is half way between the town of Lincoln and the Loon Mountain. It's in the middle of everything yet has a beautiful, private setting. You can take the free shuttle to Loon in the winter and you can also walk to the town ski/recreation area or continue just a little further to the Common Man Resaurant. The sports complex with a brand new outdoor pool and an extra-large indoor pool, exercise room and outdoor tennis courts is just around the corner.
Five Bedrooms and two large family rooms give everyone in the group plenty of space. The large cathedral ceilings fill the property with light and the deck offers views of the new expanded south mountain. And with a large group, everyone appreciates the 3 1/2 bathrooms. The unit also offers the convenience of a first-floor master suite.
The activities in the area are endless. And when you're done for the day, you can enjoy activities within the unit: a private sauna, large flat panel HDTV, PS2 game console, foosball table, wood-buring fireplace and lots of games and toys for the whole family.
We take pride in our home and are sure you will enjoy your stay.
Keywords: Condominium
Since before we were married, my husband and I always dreamed of having our own ski house. Buying this place was a dream come true. We live in Andover, MA, which is a nice short drive to Lincoln - when my kids were growing up, we spent just about every weekend at Loon. Every season, this area offers endless activities. My kids are now about to finish high school or are in college. Spending our free time at our Loon house is still one of our favorite things to do as a family, but with everyone's busy schedule, its getting harder and harder to find the time to make it up to the White Mountains. Which is why we are offering it for rent for to you - we hope you enjoy your time spent here as much as we do.
The Owner purchased this townhome in 1995
Our property is in a great location. In the winter, the shuttle to Loon is right outside our door. We are walking to the clubhouse, which has a huge indoor pool and a new outdoor pool with a beautiful setting. Inside, the windows allow tons of light in. We are a end unit, set back off the road a bit. There are trees next to and behind our property so there is plenty of privacy. And the view is beautiful.
Five bedrooms and two family rooms means there is plenty of space for everyone. Its a great place for an extended family getaway, a ladies or guys weekend or a couple of family's to be able to coexist peacefully.
Our place has some unique features in Forest Ridge and the Loon area. One of the more convenient features is the first floor master bedroom - a great feature if you have members of your group who prefer to avoid stairs. In the lower level, there is a large private sauna - fits 4-5 adults. Also, upstairs there is a private room with a jetted tub- great for soaking after a long day on the slopes or hike on one of the many trails in the area.
Unlike some of the other units, we are set back from the parking lot. This means you have alot of privacy and avoid hearing and seeing cars as they pull in out of the parking area.
This place easy to find and was great for our group. It was peaceful, quite, cozy and right down the street from Loon.
We spent a wonderful multi-generational ski weekend here. Our pre-school grandsons loved the play area on the lower level just outside their bedrooms, while we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the master bedroom on the main level. The unit is well maintained and very comfortable. This home is ideally located just minutes from Loon Mountain and less than 30 minutes to Cannon. It is also just a short walk from the unit to the clubhouse which has a large indoor pool, hot tub and exercise room. Finally there is a shuttle bus stop near the unit so teens can get into town without a car.
This is a wonderful family place, tons of room, warm and cozy throughout ! You can't go wrong!
We loved the location. we are a family of 4 and spent the week hiking and seeing the local sites. The central location was great for getting the kids back quickly. The townhouse was clean and comfortable with loads of space for us.
We instantly fell in love this place when we arrived. The location is perfect, walking distance to the pool and gym and a just a short ride down the hill to the Common Man and shopping. And if you don't feel like driving, the shuttle will pick you up at the corner of the street. The house itself was very clean and a perfect size for our big group...three levels so everyone had a place to hang out. Love the large dining table for playing games and the non stop eating that occurred! Warm and cozy fireplace and even an outdoor deck for stargazing. Can't wait to enjoy it again with friends!
This complex is in a perfect spot in Lincoln. Close to main road and Loon Mtn bus routes. The complex is not on a hillside like most of them in Lincoln. It is very sapcious with a first floor suite. The lower level is perfect to keep the kids occupied and is well kept.

NBA formally announces new flopping rule
NBA announces new rule to prevent flopping including escalating fine structure and definition of flopping.
The NBA announced its new rule to punish and prevent flopping on Wednesday. Ken Berger of CBSSports.com had reported after the NBA's competition comittee meeting that the league was set to implement a new rule which featured video review after the game to establish fines and/or punishment. Berger related the potential problems with the policy in the link above.
From the NBA's press release:
The NBA will adopt an anti-flopping rule beginning with the 2012-13 season, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations Stu Jackson announced today.
"Flops have no place in our game – they either fool referees into calling undeserved fouls or fool fans into thinking the referees missed a foul call," Jackson said. "Accordingly, both the Board of Governors and the Competition Committee felt strongly that any player who the league determines, following video review, to have committed a flop should – after a warning – be given an automatic penalty."
"Flopping" will be defined as any physical act that appears to have been intended to cause the referees to call a foul on another player. The primary factor in determining whether a player committed a flop is whether his physical reaction to contact with another player is inconsistent with what would reasonably be expected given the force or direction of the contact.
Physical acts that constitute legitimate basketball plays (such as moving to a spot in order to draw an offensive foul) and minor physical reactions to contact will not be treated as flops.
Any player who is determined to have committed a flop during the regular season will be subject to the following:
Violation 1: Warning
Violation 2: $5,000 fine
Violation 3: $10,000 fine
Violation 4: $15,000 fine
Violation 5: $30,000 fine
If a player violates the anti-flopping rule six times or more, he will be subject to discipline that is reasonable under the circumstances, including an increased fine and/or suspension.
The league will announce at a later date a separate set of penalties for flopping that will apply during the playoffs.
The league office informed CBSSports.com Wednesday that if a player commits multiple infractions of the rule in his first game, he must receive the warning before any subsequent violations can be established. So, if a player flops three times in his first game, the NBA will only issue the warning for that game.
The NBA also stated that after the warning is issued, all subsequent violations are subject to discipline. So if a player flops three times in the first game, just the warning, no fines. If in his second game, he then flops twice, that's $15,000 out of his pocket. Theoretically, the player could be fined an indefinite amount for multiple violations in one game.
Some thoughts:
- The league did a good job with establishing that this isn't an offensive or defensive move. It's not specifically "falling to the ground taking a charge" or "flailing on a shot attempt." It leaves itself open to interpretation, which in this case is a really good thing because so much of the time flopping is one of those things where "you know what it is when you see it."
- The first person to be suspended for flopping will live in infamy.
- Fining the players is the best way to make it stop, because hitting them in their wallets is always the most effective approach. But, at the same time, it very much means that the NBPA will likely be watching this super-closely and be ready to object or file suit if they feel the fines are being levied unfairly. The league has to be careful with how much they use the punishment, here.
- It's good that they stipulated that actual basketball plays are still legal. So, it's fine for a player to slide in front of a player driving and take the charge, and even for him to fall over if the player knocks him over. But if the player starts to fall backwards before, there's going to be a punishment. That seems fair.
- How they legislate pump-fake foul-draws is going to be very interesting. There are a number of players, Kevin Durant, Paul Pierce, Kevin Martin to name just three, who use those flails as a huge part of their offense. This rule helps the defender if it's legislated fairly.

A group 0f 12 boys of 11th STD were fighting whether they should watch the Republic Day parade or some other channel, "where is Maan?" asked Arjun the tallest boy in the room, "Adi must know" supplied Dev a 6'1" tall, slim boy, "Adi, where is Maan, don't tell me he is still wishing her Happy Birthday" asked Arjun, "yes, he is on the phone since last 1 hour" said Adi meekly. "This boy, he will drain his father's hard earned money talking to her on a STD call" laughed Dev "I'll just drag him here" and he ran in calling "Maan, come macho man the president will spill beans any moment, come on" and took the receiver from his hand "Happy birthday, Bhabhi ji, I mean would be Bhabhi ji, don't you think its quite long that you have been lecturing him that he must study and not waste his time" "sorry, it was only that he did not want to hang" said the girl on the other side, "no, I did not mean that, you have turned 13 right" "right" "I was just thinking when you will turn 20 will you two have any thing left to talk about" laughed Dev, Maan took the receiver from his hand "shut up Dev, let me talk" "ok, boss, utilize the free day, but tomorrow the regular 5 am to 10 pm schedule and studies and this one holiday, kash I too had a girl to talk to" as Dev left Maan resumed talking; "he will not come, let him talk its after long we have a day off" said Dev and they boys flipped the channels.
