Should QA push for programmers running QA's automated tests?
Yes, but I'd also suggest that if the programmers don't seem to, it's probably more productive to find out why before pushing harder. What's preventing them? Access to proprietary test tools? Difficult to setup easily on dev environment? Results not meaningful or easy to read? Too slow to ...
Disclaimer: I am approaching this as a programmer (who is here mostly to learn how to better interact with our testers.)
It's important to remember that the developer has not always been told how to test the code. Although we wish it wasn't true, the developer was given a set of requirements from someone who really didn't care about every aspect of the ...
No - there is no "right" ratio. The answer depends on the product (is it a web service providing junior hockey scores, or a space ship?), and the roles that programmers and testers play on the team. I've seen highly successful teams with a 15 or 20 to 1 programmer to tester ratio, and teams with a 1 to 1 ratio that made crap software.
In the high ratio ...
Although unit tests are normally good enough, it's nice to see a developer ensure that they've run a process from start to finish, not just the unit tests. Because the types of tests that should be run vary greatly with the type of application, I would discuss with a testing point of contact for the product.
With new developers to me, I usually ask them ...
What has worked well for me is the following steps.
The developer makes their best effort at writing good code.
The developer gets a code-peer review from another developer
The developer runs their unit tests, and checks that they all pass.
The developer and the tester sit down for a review:
The developer walks through with the tester to let them know ...
In my experience, the best developer/testers bring what I call the boredom herusitic to software testing. Inother words, they often automate rote tasks so they can focus on testing and analysis of the software.
An example I use often is the "add contact" feature in an instant messaging or email client. To test the feature, I'd need to try long names, ...
I definitely feel your pain. As noted in a question I had (I'll link in a minute) I too work for a 10-digit revenue company, and our primary software has 0 automated tests for over a million lines of production code.
It boils down to the same philosophy that a lot of developers have about using external libraries rather than rolling their own: we fear what ...
Dedicated Testers
I think that it is important to highlight that the role of being a tester, is different to the job of being a tester.
There are many situations where you need testing, but you simply can't afford or are unable to have dedicated testers, i.e people who have that job 100% of the time.
You simply don't have enough testing, or resources to ...
A good test manager has a number of key attributes. I tend to think that the best managers are like good, professional sports coaches.
They have played "the game", at the highest levels, they know what is required to be successful and achieve the results you are after. Translated, they should be a great tester themselves and be able to test hands on if ...
If you are the sole tester, and might continue to be for a while, it probably doesn't matter much if you choose whatever tool you personally prefer.
But if there is an expectation that other programmers will contribute to test automation, you should take their needs and preferences into consideration as well.
Then again, when your company grows enough, you ...
I found Jerry Weinberg's comments about pinpointing in "Perfect Software: And other illusions about testing" really helpful. (My copy's at work, so this is from memory).
Jerry comments that responsibility for pinpointing a bug's exact location sometimes lies with the programmers, and sometimes with the testers. In my experience, the most trouble occurs when ...
I always want an independent, dedicated, competent tester to test my code. However, I also always want a personal chef to cook for me. I usually can't afford that, either.
Most developers have not worked with a truly competent tester, and so they don't know what that is like. For me, the few times I've had that, it was great.
Having an ...
In my experience ... Execute, YES. Maintain NO.
Context for my comment. I am assuming Programmers in your question = developers of application, not testers with programming skills
I think that there is an inherent motivation that testers, (even dedicated software engineers in test) have that developers don't, and that is that writing, running and ...
Personally I find that tester who codes in addition to great testing skills is much more effective than the non-technical equivalent.
A techical tester can esentially bring more "weapons to bear" on testing problems than you could without those skill sets. Some examples:
Need to generate some test data? Write a tool to do it.
Need to check security access ...
I think it depends on two primary elements:
Are your testers embedded on your software engineering teams.
Is the output of your tests intelligible and useful to engineers.
Obviously it's folly to think that engineers could run tests from some other shadowy team that they have no rapport with. However, if you do have engineers and testers embedded on ...
I've had success using tester/developers for code review of production code. I've found that developers review code thinking, "Will this work", while testers review code thinking "In what ways could this not work". I've also found that most testers discover new test ideas while reviewing production code.
I wrote a paper on the experiences of our team in ...
Eduard, welcome to SQA. I will assume you are that developer.
I think there are a lot of ways a developer can help a QA team. The most obvious way to help would be to write automated tests or to write tools that make testing easier, e.g. creating test data or automating a deployment.
You may have skills outside of coding that would also benefit your ...
I never see common agreement on any software-related titles.
In some shops where I have worked "Architect" implies a thinker, not a doer. For QA Architect, it means someone who thinks about QA, researches and suggests improved methods and metrics. Sometimes it's someone who trains others.
In other shops, "Architect" just means "very Senior". It's the ...
This depends on the organization. Where I have worked, QA teams tended to prioritize breadth over runtime or simplicity of setup. The "QA environment" may require some special settings and configuration for mock objects, fake data, and so on. Developers, on the other hand, prefer tests that run quickly so that they can be integrated into their ...
I think you'll need to understand why they are being nay-sayers. It may be that you've landed in the snake pit of office politics and you're wondering why because herpetology isn't written in your job description.
Some of the complaints you may have heard from the Knights Who Say NIH (Not Invented Here)! may include:
Why Change? We've always done it ...
In the past I have approached this by firstly defining the "quality bar" as to what is expected and had this agreed by the whole team. This includes setting a defect threshold for the whole team (usually 0 Sev 1's and 10 bugs per developer). When a developer or the team gets above this threshold they must stop adding features and fix their bugs.
With this ...
I think your question assumes the positions are mutually exclusive, but I've worked places where we had a per-project lead and a cross-project manager.
I think the tradeoffs are the same as between a dev manager and a dev lead. You need leaders in a team for mentoring, more difficult work, and technical direction. Somewhere in the organization you need a ...
A developer can be also useful to QA team in defect isolation.
Having skills to read the code, understand the architecture of the system and debug a running program, you will be able to isolate the root cause of the defect you or the rest of your QA team has found. It is often faster to reproduce and isolate the issue, when you are performing the tests and ...
My recommendation is to write them up in the bug tracking system that you use. If you don't have one, you need to get one started. If the bugs are that obvious, then their project manager should have words with them. The stats from the tracking software should be able to support your argument that they are careless, or need better understanding of the ...
If possible, sit down with them, explain the bugs. Explain how you found it and ask what kinds of tests they run before they say that it's ready. Start giving some suggestions. I've always found that starting the code quality discussion with some polite, constructive feedback has yielded the greatest results, letting them decide what what they think is ...
Should QA insist that all of their automated tests pass before checking in?
At my last employer, the QA test suite involved multiple operating systems (and several different service packs of each), so it would not have been possible for devs to run those tests as part of the smoke/tdd tests. Some of the other tests could not be automated as they ...
I would make it automatic post-commit (via a trigger, or preferably a build system) that some kind of test is run.
If the test is too extensive, then scale the post-commit test back to run in a reasonable amount of time (so the dev gets feedback quickly.)
If the longform test (because longform makes it better, right?) takes X hours to run, I would ...
Seems like there is a disconnect between management and the QA Team, although I can't tell what Management is buying in if the QA Lead is outsourcing when you have done work. Communication could help, but having it come from the top down should be done diplomatically.
Try to find out from the QA Team what their issue is, do they fear automation will put ...
I dealt with the same issue several years ago, and frankly, as a portion of this issue is personal integrity, corporate accountability can only go so far. As a realist, I acknowledge that increased accountability did help, but only temporarily. As soon as the individual realized they can get away x amount of misunderstandings, errors and vague specs, they no ...
There is no hard and fast rule for what kind of testing a developer should do before handing off to QA. It depends on the developer, the QA team, the organization, and the product. Testing is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
The important thing is to pay attention to the quality of what QA receives and the quality of the released product. If the ...

Even adjusting for size, New York faces bigger bills for retiree health and other non-pension benefits—nearly $50 billion for state employees—than all but a few other states, and yet it is one of the five largest states that has not set aside any money to cover these long-term costs. The state paid $934 million in 2006 to cover the health care benefits of current public sector retirees. The cost would be four times as great if the state chose to pay for benefits as they're earned, as it does in its pension system, and move toward full funding of non-pension benefits. On the pensions side, New York officials say internal calculations show the system to be fully funded, but the state's current accounting methods don't generate a funding ratio, unlike more common methods used by other states. This will change as New York adjusts to a new standard from the Governmental Accounting Standards Board that requires the use of one of the more common methods.

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
Right now in Canada the Roller Maze line, Dot Dead Gorgeous dolls, new fashion packs, coffin bean, powder room, scooter, new CAM sets, AND new CAM add-ons sets have all been released within the last few weeks. It seem like a lot of product all at once.
I am feeling overwhelmed with all and the new stuff available that I want, and am only purchasing the dolls I feel I must have. I ordered the Roller Maze doll line from Amazon, it arrived today. I also pre-ordered Ghoulia with scooter and Ghouls Rule Frankie from TRU. Oh yah, and I also got two of the new fashion packs from Amazon last week.
So, that's what I felt I must have and really like from the new releases. I dislike nothing, except maybe Frankie's hair in a curly updo, however, I will reserve my judgement until I see her in person :)
What's your fave of the recent/new/soon to be released items? What will you/have you bought?
I love the concept of the Roller Maze ghouls, but honestly wish they had released them as fashion packs rather than dolls. Same with the Dot Dead Party ones. (But then again I am trying to limit myself to 1 of each figure!) I cannot wait for the CaM guys to show up in our area!!! I wish they would release more versions of Holt and Gil. I just ordered the Coffin Bean off Amazon.com after spending half an hour calling every TRU in the area with no success. So for right now I am very happy, although I am waiting for Robecca Steam to come out too!
Is it too late to reply to this discussion?
I agree with the previous comment, I think we're missing more fashion packs!! As Deborah, I'm only buying one doll for each character (although I'd buy all of them, but I just don't have the budget).
I'm dying to buy 13 Wishes Howleen. I've seen her photos on the internet and I find she's soooo cool
Of course it's not to late to reply!
I'm glad I'm not the only one sticking to a single version of each doll. (I don't have the budget OR the space to get them all)
I picked up the pink haired Dance Class Howleen and just adore her. So much more than the original orange haired one. So for me I'll be on the lookout for her outfit on ebay. (at the very least her shoes.)
I'm looking forward to Twyla from the 13 Wishes line though, as it will be great for Howleen to have a friend her size!
Oh, yes, I've seen Twyla and she's sooo beautifu. I just love her hair colours.
I'm also thinking of buying the Cleo + Ghoulia mad science pack. Ghoulia is my partners favourite character and we want the basic one, but if we don't find one at a reasonable price ( we found one for more than 100€ at amazon.de, but we can not pay that much for one single doll) we'll buy that upcoming pack.
And, I insist, we need more fashion packs. A fashion pack for Howleen, for instance

Start by scrambling up to a crack to the right of Thunderbolt. Climb this crack up to the bolted anchor on Thunderbolt. Clip a bolt at the anchor and traverse to your right (10 feet) to a sloping ledge to a gear belay. Alternatively, start up the crack, then squeeze through a chimney and go directly to the same belay ledge. The first pitch is a little grungy. Therefore a better option is to climb the first pitch of Thunderbolt and traverse right. For the second pitch step across to an island like rock. Then leave the island stepping into a crack. Follow the crack up and walk over to a thin chimney. Suck in your gut and take this to the top. Belay at the top of the chimney. To descend, step over the chimney and walk over to the Middle Parallel Space anchor (two raps to the ground).
H & H Grunt starts in the Friday the Thirteenth alcove between Thunderbolt and Friday the Thirteenth.
Standard rack plus a #5 Big Bro if you want to protect the upper 20 feet of the chimney.

Sequim Christians coalesced for an interdenominational Holy Week
Published on Wed, Apr 22, 2009
Read More
Can a town come together in a week?
Yes it can, for Holy Week! Remembering why we celebrate Easter, Sequim believers gathered together.
Local churches opened their doors to all: Neither denomination nor weather kept them away from the bittersweet celebration of Jesus' death and victorious resurrection.
Each host church was blessed with a message through a pastor from a different church and they graciously served a delicious lunch. Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church chefs restrained themselves from serving lutefisk: This brought quite a chuckle!
Monday, April 6: Pastor Jack Anderson (Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church) came to Sequim Worship Center and Olympic Bible Fellowship with a message of the prodigal son, Luke 15:11-32.
"A broken heart in search of healing." The father's heart needed healing from his younger son's abrupt departure; the younger son's heart needed healing because his decisions brought him such hardship; the older son needed his heart broken, softened, from wrong attitudes. We all were encouraged to look at our own hearts to see "which son were we" in situations.
Author's note: I encourage you to read the Scripture, relating it to your own heart.
Tuesday, April 7: Pastor Mike Van Proyen (King's Way Foursquare) came to Sequim Community Church with
"What matters," Matthew 21:18-22 and Matthew 17:20.
Jesus was hungry, yet the fig tree was barren. He cursed the tree. Immediately, the fig tree withered away.
"If you have faith and do not doubt, you will do what was done to this fig tree ...." The fruit of our actions matters, our motivation matters, our words definitely matter, our faith matters. If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can say to this mountain ... move! We were challenged: Things matter; we can either wither someone or grow something.
Note: After reading these Scriptures, see how you relate to what matters.
Wednesday, April 8: Pastor Dave Westman (Sequim Worship Center) came to Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church with a thought-provoking message about Judas, the thief who was the treasurer, the betrayer, John 13:21-32.
"Treason is a capital offense!" We could all relate to an experience of unfulfilled/unspoken expectation. Look at Judas as Jesus did. Judas had to betray Jesus to fulfill Scripture, but Jesus was probably troubled in his spirit, as Judas was not going to repent.
In that very breath of time of betrayal, Jesus spoke, "Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him ...." This betrayal was a bittersweet instrument in God's plan to bring glory to Jesus and himself.
Judas, if you had only repented and received salvation.
Note: Jesus saves all who truly repent; no sin too great for his mercy.
Thursday, April 9: Pastor Dennis Ackley (Olympic View Church of God) came to Trinity United Methodist Church sharing Jesus' washing of the disciples' feet at Passover, John 13:1-20.
"Do you know what I've done to you?" It is for us to give up our rights, prestige and power to serve each other.
In Philippians 2:5-11, we read that Jesus made himself of no reputation, humbling himself to be obedient to the point of death on the cross ... for all mankind. As believers, we are to serve each other.
Note: After reading the Scriptures, learn anew how to serve each other ... with a servant's heart.
Friday, April 10: Pastor Steve Welty (Glory House Fellowship) came to
Sequim Bible Church to conclude this wonderful week with "a word of faith." Jesus leads us on a road of faith to help us overcome hardships in our lives. He is the author and finisher of our faith.
Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Also understood, Christ is risen hoped for, the evidence of salvation unseen. They ran to an empty tomb. We run to a living Savior.
John 20:1-31. Doubting Thomas wouldn't believe unless he saw and touched Jesus himself. When Jesus appeared again, Thomas proclaimed, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus replied, "... Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Note: Lord, give us bold faith to share the good news of salvation according to your Word.
Final note: A great idea, to exchange and visit like this once a month or once a quarter will be discussed at an upcoming pastors' meeting.
Thank you to all who participated, who sang out joyfully, who ate gratefully, who contributed generously financially and who served unconditionally. God bless!
The Rev. Carol Kindt owns Beside Still Waters and is pastor of the Grace Northwest Fellowship - Full Gospel Christian Ministry, in Sequim.

I love to see how technology continues to be woven deeper into the fabric of baseball and how it benefits everyone from teams to players to fans.
These days technology is driving millions of interactions that happen at the speed of light. Players utilize video to break down their latest at bat, and might watch in between innings to make changes for future at-bats. Teams use scores of computer-generated statistics to analyze player performances, and breakdown their opponents. Things like variable ticket pricing, enhancements to television broadcasts (pitch tracker), and social media channels have altered how fans interact with the sport. Read More »

Well my orchid is getting another bud on it for the 3rd time! Yipieeee :) But i have a question about the looks of the (what i call the tenticals) not sure what to call them? They are located in the soil around the leaves. They grow very long and i have a lot of them. They look like long finger thingys. Do i leave them to grow, they do not look all that pretty and i am not sure what to do with them or what they are even for? I hope those with the orchid can advise me on what or what not to do with these long "fingers" tia......
i bought a new orchid and its in full bloom right now. The last bud opened about a week and a half ago. I'm hoping it'll stay blooming throught the holidays. Someone recommended that i put two ice cubes on top of the soil about every two weeks and thats all i need to do in terms of watering it in the winter. Any thoughts? I can't wait to have an orchid that actually reblooms...good work Chea! :)
Yep, those are the roots -- don't cut them off!!!! They do look kinda funny, but they can be interesting too. A root on one of my orchids wrapped itself around a piece of the potting medium and actually holds it up in the air!!
Whatever you're doing to your orchid, keep doing it -- it's obviously a happy plant :)
Post pics when your buds bloom :)
Those fingers you speak of are the plants root system, part of it anyway, and you certainly do not want to do anything to them. Its part of the look as well with orchids so unfortunately, if you want orchids thats what they look like. Also be sure that after the flowers are finished and fall off, that you trim the stem back to just behind the last bud so it will flower again, in another seven to eight months. Water as normal during this time, let them dry out between waterings. By the way, the finger roots are trying to get moisture from the air so its very important not to hurt them, and be sure to feed your plant orchid food as well.

The recently implemented lead remediation rules are a fact of life for the entire remodeling industry. All remodeling contractors must be trained and certified in lead safe practices and incorporate them on any renovation jobs performed on homes built prior to 1978. It is of great importance that homeowners understand the risks and actions that need to be taken if they own a home constructed prior to 1978.
The EPA has made this week the National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week. There is some great information on lead and its detrimental effect on children at this web site http://epa.gov/lead/pubs/lppw2010.htm. I urge all homeowners to go here to learn more about lead poisoning and its effects, especially on children.
Even though we are urging the EPA to reinstate the Opt out clause that was eliminated earlier this year, the lead safe practices are in effect at this time for all homes constructed prior to 1978.

Khalil Greene Rumors
Odds & Ends: Ortiz, Smoltz, Sandoval, Westmoreland
Some links to browse, as teams continue to make spring cuts....
- Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe writes (via Twitter) that the Red Sox will not pick up David Ortiz's $12.5MM option for 2011 regardless of what he does this season.
- Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas reports that the Rangers have kept in contact with Khalil Greene, even after voiding his contract last month, though assistant GM Thad Levine says "there were no overtures about coming back and playing."
- Murray Chass interviewed John Smoltz about his future, and the result is an interesting read. "I don't know if I'm going to pitch, but I haven't ruled it out," Smoltz said. "I have a lot of options, and I don't want the options to rule me." Smoltz adds that he laughs at all the "rumors and speculation that's out there." We won't take it personally.
- In his ESPN Insider blog, Buster Olney expands on a couple tweets he made yesterday, about the Twins' closer situation and the possible appeal of Smoltz.
- John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle writes that the Giants haven't entered into any long-term contract negotiations with Pablo Sandoval yet, since he's still a couple years away from being arbitration-eligible.
- Nationals GM Mike Rizzo says that "money has nothing to do with who's going to play and who's not going to play," according to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. This stance is relevant not only for Stephen Strasburg's ETA in the majors, but also for determining Ian Desmond's role. Rizzo suggested that Desmond "is in the running to be an everyday guy."
- Red Sox prospect Ryan Westmoreland will undergo brain surgery, writes Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe. Best of luck to Westmoreland.
Rangers Looking For Reserve Infield Help
When the Rangers voided the contract of Khalil Greene last week, it appeared as if the club would look within their system for a replacement. Indeed, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan was told by Texas officials that there was a "100 percent probability" that this would be the case (via Twitter).
A week later, however, Sullivan reports that the team is changing its tune. Greene provided both infield depth and a right-handed corner infield bat, and now the Rangers "are re-assessing the situation and early confidence that the roles could be filled from within may be eroding." The team hopes that prospect Max Ramirez or former Angel Matt Brown can handle the corner infield job, but several options exist outside the Rangers organization for the utility infield spot. Sulllivan noted the Dodgers have some extra infielders in camp and listed a few other specific names as options...
- Julio Lugo. He may be the odd man out in St. Louis given the Cardinals' recent signing of Felipe Lopez. Sullivan noted the irony of Lugo possibly again being acquired to replace Greene, given that St. Louis did the same thing last summer. Sullivan also said Lugo "is somebody [the Rangers] have talked about internally."
- Augie Ojeda. We heard last winter that Texas had some interest in the Diamondbacks infielder.
- Ramon Vazquez. Sullivan said "the Pirates may be willing to talk about" dealing the former Ranger.
Rangers Void Khalil Greene's Contract
The Rangers decided to void Khalil Greene's contract, reports MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. Greene signed for $750K in January but was not able to report to camp due to social anxiety disorder. Sullivan tweeted on Monday that club officials say there is a 100% probability Greene's replacement will come internally.
Khalil Greene Will Not Report To Rangers' Camp
5:15pm: Club officials say there is a one-hundred percent probability that Greene's replacement will be internal, according to Sullivan (via Twitter).
4:58pm: Rangers officials say they have no interest in Lopez, tweets MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan.
10:58am: Infielder Khalil Greene "will not be joining the team and will not report to spring training camp," according to a statement from the Rangers. They'll leave the door open for Greene, who signed for $750K as a free agent in January after missing much of '09 with social anxiety disorder. Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News tweets that "options on Greene could include the restricted list and voiding his contract."
According to another Grant tweet, the Rangers will give Joaquin Arias a longer look for a utility role. The 25-year-old, who came to the Rangers in '04 as part of the Alex Rodriguez deal, didn't hit much in his second Triple A stint. Though he had shoulder surgery a few years back, Arias could still be a plus defender. Also, he's out of options.
Grant also tweets that the Rangers reached out to Felipe Lopez and are surveying the thin free agent market. They've got Esteban German around as a non-roster invite, but lost Joe Inglett to a Brewers waiver claim in January.
Odds & Ends: Dye, Mets, Lincecum, Vazquez, Colon
Some links for your Friday afternoon...
- Jermaine Dye mentioned to Frank Thomas that he's considering retirement, according to a tweet from CSN Chicago's Chuck Garfien.
- Adam Rubin of The New York Daily News tweets the Mets' players that are out of options: Pat Misch, Anderson Hernandez, Nelson Figueroa, and Fernando Nieve. All four seem to be on the bubble.
- ESPN.com's Keith Law says Tim Lincecum left "a lot of money on the table" this morning when he agreed to a two-year $23MM deal.
- A number of unnamed GMs tell ESPN.com's Jayson Stark that they haven't figured out how to find good middle relief consistently.
- Javier Vazquez tells Carlos Gonzalez of Primera Hora that he doesn't see himself playing until he's 38 or 39. Vazquez, 33, doesn't expect to retire this year or next year, though. (Translated by Nick Collias).
- Bartolo Colon's agent tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that the former Cy Young Award winner wants to pitch this coming season (Twitter link).
- Tom Glavine tells David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he won't rule out a future as a pitching coach. Now it would be too much of a time commitment for him.
- Ryan Rowland-Smith says via Twitter that he's glad the Mariners re-signed Mike Sweeney.
- The Rays signed infielders Angel Chavez and J.J. Furmaniak to minor league deals and invited the pair to Spring Training, according to a team press release.
- David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News shows that the Phillies have already made major commitments for 2011. They may not be able to re-sign Jayson Werth.
- ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports that Russ Springer intends to pitch this coming season.
- MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan has details on Khalil Greene's deal with the Rangers. The infielder makes $250K if he spends one day on the team's roster.
- Neftali Feliz leads USA Today's list of 100 names we need to know.
- Like most, Jack Moore of FanGraphs finds it hard to imagine 2011 free agent Derek Jeter finishing his career with a team other than the Yankees. One reason Moore believes Jeter's a fit in the Bronx: the shortstop's inside-out swing is perfect for Yankee Stadium.
- MLB.com's Adam McCalvy guesses that Corey Hart's reps successfully compared their client to Jeff Francoeur and Josh Willingham. Hart won his arbitration hearing with the Brewers.
- Jon Heyman of SI.com tweets that the Giants and Tim Lincecum went right to the door of their arbitration hearing this morning before settling.
Rangers Sign Khalil Greene
The Rangers officially signed infielder Khalil Greene today to a one-year, $750K deal. The agreement was first reported by MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan on January 9th.
Greene, 30, hit .200/.272/.347 in 193 plate appearances for the Cardinals last year, tallying 240.3 innings at shortstop and 96 at third base. He'll serve as a utility infielder for Texas. On December 4th, 2008, the Cards acquired Greene from the Padres for pitchers Mark Worrell and Luke Gregerson. Greene had a promising spring, but hit the DL in May with social anxiety disorder. Earlier this month, ESPN's Buster Olney wrote that Greene has been working out diligently at Vanderbilt this offseason with his former college coach.
Odds & Ends: Padres, Greene, Dye, Giants
Here are some links to close out the week...
- The Padres are one of several teams to request Noah Lowry's medical records, according to MLB.com's Corey Brock. In a tweet, Brock notes that the team isn't likely to bring Khalil Greene back, and instead will likely wait for an out-of-options player in Spring Training.
- Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News tweets that Rangers are "still pushing" on Jermaine Dye, and team officials met with him last week.
- Grant at McCovey Chronicles ranks the ten biggest "future free agent mistakes" for Giants' fans.
- Tom Haudricourt of The Journal Sentinel mentions that Brewers' GM Doug Melvin and his staff are traveling to Phoenix next week to meet with Mark Mulder and decide if it makes sense to offer him a minor league deal with incentives. Haudricourt previously said we should "expect a signing," and earlier this week we learned that Milwaukee may not have enough payroll room left to add another starter.
- MLB.com's Brian McTaggart looks at the Astros' rotation now that Brett Myers is on board.
- Meanwhile, Alyson Footer of MLB.com tweets that Houston officially announced their deal with Josh Banks, and has renewed the contracts of pre-arbitration eligible players J.R. Towles and Chris Johnson.
- Steve Gilbert of MLB.com has some more details on Bobby Howry's contract with Arizona. Howry can void the $3MM club option for 2011 if he's traded during the upcoming season.
- Tigers' GM Dave Dombrowski said his team "did not really pursue" Scott Podsednik, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck. Scotty Pods had been connected to Detroit earlier this offseason.
Odds & Ends: Epstein, Cards, Contracts, Greene
Links for a snowy Thursday...
- MLB.com's Lyle Spencer tweets of the Dodgers' interest in Robb Quinlan for a fourth outfielder role. The Rockies and Twins are other known suitors.
- Red Sox GM Theo Epstein appeared on the Toucher and Rich show this morning. He spoke about the team's offense, Adrian Gonzalez, Mike Lowell, and the "bridge period" comment; MLB.com's Ian Browne provides the transcript.
- MASN's Steve Melewski says the Red Sox rescinded the contract given to reliever Bob McCrory after he failed his physical.
- Tommy Rancel of DRays Bay looks at the team-friendly deals signed by Paul Cohen clients.
- Cardinals manager Tony La Russa told Cam Inman of The Contra Costa Times there's a non-zero chance the team adds Mark McGwire to the player roster on August 31st.
- There is currently no timetable for the Cardinals to sit down with Albert Pujols' agents, GM John Mozeliak told Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Cards are ready to talk when Pujols is.
- Maury Brown of The Biz of Baseball is beta-testing an MLB salary database. Also of note: Cot's Baseball Contracts has joined the Baseball Prospectus family.
- ESPN's Buster Olney wrote yesterday that Khalil Greene is working hard and seeks a big league deal. Greene can play shortstop or third base, and Olney sees Oakland as a potential match.
- The Pirates aren't far apart with Zach Duke on his 2010 salary, writes Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Kovacevic believes Duke's $2.2MM salary could double in his second arbitration year. A multiyear deal is not in the works.
- Murray Chass chronicles the blank contract Andre Dawson gave to the Cubs in the spring of '87.
- Joe Pawlikowski of River Ave. Blues looks at Nick Johnson's injury history in detail.
- A December 30th tweet from SI's Melissa Segura notes that Dominican lefty Victor Payano signed with the Rangers. Payano had a deal with the Red Sox in July for $900K that was voided due to shoulder concerns. Here's a video of the 16-year-old courtesy of Kiley McDaniel.
Gammons' Latest: Greene, Angels, Strasburg
Peter Gammons has a new blog post up at ESPN, in which he writes about the wildcard races and what they mean for baseball. Bud Selig takes a lot of heat, but I don't think there's any arguing that the wildcard is one of his greatest achievements.
Anyway, Gammons drops a few rumor nuggets at the end of the piece, so let's round 'em up...
- The Red Sox did not pursue Cardinals shortstop Khalil Greene when he cleared waivers. Remember to check out out handy dandy list of players who have already cleared waivers.
- The Angels are reportedly interested in Heath Bell, who was put on waivers yesterday. Several GMs "expressed doubt that the Padres would be able trade him." I, for one, think the Pads would have no problem moving him if they really wanted to.
- One GM says the Angels "should take Francisco Cordero. The Reds will move him."
- Gammons says that most baseball people think the Nationals will sign Stephen Strasburg "if negotiations with Scott Boras do not get contentious." He guesstimates that Strasburg could get $22MM for three years, which would allow him to go to arbitration for three years and land another big payday. Or three.
Odds And Ends: O's, Jays, Greene, Brewers
More links on the 80th anniversary of Babe Ruth's 500th career homer:
- Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun says the Orioles are well-positioned in case teams start shedding high-salaried corner infielders.
- MLB.com's Jordan Bastian says the Jays called up Randy Ruiz. Why didn't Travis Snider get the call? His service time probably has something to do with it.
- The Padres filed a grievance after they had to pay Khalil Greene to recover from a self-inflicted hand injury when he was on their roster last year. Now, Tom Krasovic reports that the two sides have come to an agreement, so there will be no grievance hearing.
- Via Twitter, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Brewers designated minor league righty Nick Green for assignment to make room for David Weathers.
- Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star reports that the Royals claimed minor leaguer John Bannister from the Rangers and assigned him to AA.
- Via Twitter, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says he doubts the Yankees will trade for Bronson Arroyo.

Dear Friends,
Spring is all around us, from the songbirds on PAWS' campus performing their mating songs and building their nests, to the baby squirrels, puppies and kittens already arriving on our doorstep. So far this year, we've placed twice the number of orphaned kittens in foster care than we did the same time last year.
Each year, PAWS cares for several thousand animals, and more than two thirds are babies. We nearly double our workforce with dedicated volunteers to provide the most basic needs for these babies, and many others. From bear cubs to kittens, 40 or more different diets are prepared each day, life-saving surgeries are performed, little ones are bottle-fed and kept warm—it's a whirlwind of activity and a responsibility we don't take lightly.
In order to make sure the animals receive the highest care possible, we need to keep our cupboards stocked with supplies. If you would like to help collect some or can spread the word, you can download a comprehensive list at paws.org under the Donate tab. Here are a few items most in need:
Someone recently referred to PAWS as a "champion for animals." As I watch our team move throughout the day, diligently and compassionately providing for each animal, and advocating on behalf of others, I have to agree.
As you join us with your generosity as a volunteer, a donor or helping to spread the message of compassion, you are a champion for animals, too. Thank you for being a part of this important work of saving lives.
With gratitude,
Annette Laico
Executive Director

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tim1949 World's Best Practice Hotel
From the moment of checking in to the moment of checking out, this hotel is faultless.The first class facilities are only matched by the warmth and efficiency of all the staff. From the houskeepers to the waiters/waitresses, bar tenders, concierges to management lower middle and upper, attention to detail and execution of service is an exemplar to any other hotel.
Assistant Manager Guest Services Eddy was particularly noteworthy, nothing was too much trouble in arranging our many outings dinner bookings etc.
The hotel's manager should be proud of his team and the way he has trained his staff.
I will certainly be returning. This hotel has exceeded all my expectations

Rated 5 out of 5 by Phases123 Excellent choice for a place to stay while in Dubai
A nice blend of Western and Arab cultures, with high level of diversity. Very friendly staff and management that cares. Great rooms and accommodations like a palace in the proximity of the tourist attractions of Dubai. Absolutely recommended for any type of visitor, tourist or business person

Rated 5 out of 5 by Foxxx Great Beach Resort in Dubai near the city
This 5 star hotel with really 5 star service has one major big plus and that is the great garden and beach front location. There are 3 big pools, more than enough sunbeds (with thick matrasses) and the beach is great. Their are 4 pool/beachbars with excellent service. Great staff, I've been to all 5* beach resorts in Mauritius, Ibiza, Maldives, Asia, USA, but these people know what service is.
We stayed in the brand new Superior rooms (right tower), they are great.
Complimentary airport pick up with BMW limousine was also very nice.
Free shuttles with the Grosvenor house where you find restaurants / clubs like Buddha, Torotoro, Sighartha, Embassy. very nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hoopsno1 Business as usual
This is the 8 th time that we have stayed at the Le Royal Meridien hotel.
As always the service is excellent and the staff are very helpful.
The swimming pools are one of the best features and our son spent hours in the warm water.
It is lovely to go to the beach when it is particularly hot and it was easy to find sunbeds as it was not as busy as usual ( which we preferred).
We felt this time that the food was better, in particular the Brasserie ,as there was more fresh fish cooked outside.
The meal at Rhodes was fantastic. "Equal best steak he has ever had "quotes my son.
It is always wonderful to see familiar faces and this is the case with the managers and the resort manager, who always takes time to speak to his guests.
We will definitely return again and would not hesitate to recommend to our friends.

February 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mpops great service and amenities!
Whilst this hotel is one of the older properties in Dubai, the amenities are fantastic as is the hotel condition. It doesn't feel old at all and the rooms are beautifully decorated. the staff really went out of their way to take care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast in the club lounge was brilliant, I couldn't fault it.
The spa and swimming pool facilities were also fantastic.
Would definitely stay here again and have no hesitations in recommending the resort. I don't have children and from what I could see it didn't look super child friendly but I could be totally wrong!
It's well located and you can easily visit the Grosvenor House which is part of Starwoods also, they have a shuttle bus between the 2 hotels.

Track Santa's Christmas Eve Journey with NORAD
December 21, 2011
© NORAD Tracks Santa
When you think of Aerospace Defense Operations, Santa Claus isn't necessarily the first thing that comes to mind, but NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), has actually been responsible for tracking Santa's Christmas Eve flight for more than 50 years.
What better agency than the one that monitors all airspace activity to track Santa's exact whereabouts? NORAD Tracks Santa is a great site that kids can refer to on Christmas Eve to find out where in the world Santa is. Using a very high-tech combination of radar, satellite, Santa cam and fighter jets (yes, fighter jets!), NORAD keeps a close eye on its official radar system to collect data and then use Google Earth to broadcast his exact whereabouts to families around the world.
And luckily, if radar signals are down, NORAD reports that Rudolph's red nose emits an infrared beam that further helps them detect and track Santa's path.
In addition to facts about NORAD tracking Santa and its exact techniques, there are also a new game featured each down in "Countdown Village" as we approach the big day.
NORAD Tracks Santa is also available as a free mobile app for iOS and Android devices.
Here's a brief look at Santa's journey from last year:

I wonder why these are not in IESDP:
These two triggers are accessible only from party members, because they are ever sent to them when a PC leaves/joins the party.
I guess they send it to each partymember so they can react on it individually.

Doorbell Sound Effects, Doorbell Sounds, Doorbell Sound Effect, Doorbell Sound ClipsDoorbell sound effects and doorbell sounds: Doorbell sound effect such as door buzzers, doorbell chimes and other doorbell sound clips to download.Most homes have doorbells, door buzzers and door chimes, so this is a natural choice for the working sound designer to record. Films often have scenes in which characters ring a doorbell, heard either from inside the home or outside, so capturing both perspectives for doorbell sound effects is essential. It would be a mistake for a sound designer to use an outside door bell sound when the scene calls for an inside doorbell sound clip because the characters are inside the home.
The type of home, too, determines which kind of doorbell sound effect to use. For example, a scene with an old home would need a old doorbell sound effect to sound authentic and realistic. On the flipside, a modern home which uses battery operated doorbells that sound like chimes, would need more modern sounding doorbell sound effects to be authentic. One may think that most people wouldn't notice the nuances of doorbell sound effects used, but you would be surprised how many folks either consciously or consciously notice such differences in sounds. Visit our free doorbell sound effect page to grab a free doorbell sound effect. |

Hi Texas, His name was John Hamilton Hale. He went by "Hamilton or Ham Hale", but of course he would likely have been listed as John or John H. Hale. Below is info from the family history : Born: Blue Spring, Rogersville, Hawkins County, Tennessee 1 May 1833; died c1908, Silver Springs, MS. "Hamilton Hale was a physician of prominence and served as a surgeon with the Confederate Armies during the Civil War". In 1854 he was teaching school at Chattanooga; in 1867 he was of Tippah Co, MS. From what I recall, Hamilton was back living in Rogersville prior to the war which lead me to believe he was enrolled in the 60th. However, I see that his brother below was in the 19th, Co. K. John was the youngest and had a several brothers who survived to adulthood: Philip Smith Hale, Alexander Hale, James Hale (died 26 Jan 1896 at the Confederate Veterans' Home at Nashville, Tenn). He returned from Texas to Rogersville serving in Co. K, 19th Infantry, CSA. Attached is a prison record that may be John. Note the Fulkersons whose names appear next to his. Fulkersons also lived in Rogersville and had been cousins for a number of generations. Attachment: John_Hamilton_Hale_Prison_Record.bmp (Downloaded 33 times) |

Giallo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒallo], plural gialli) is an Italian 20th-century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In English, it refers to a genre similar to the French fantastique genre and includes elements of horror fiction and eroticism. The word "giallo" is Italian for "yellow" and comes from a series of cheap paperback mystery novels with trademark yellow covers.
The term giallo derives from a series of crime-mystery pulp novels entitled Il Giallo Mondadori 'Mondadori Yellow (books)', published by Mondadori from 1929 on, and taking its name from the trademark yellow cover background. The series consisted almost exclusively of Italian translations of mystery novels by British and American writers, such as Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen, Edgar Wallace, Ed McBain, Rex Stout, and Raymond Chandler.
Published as cheap paperbacks, the success of the "giallo" novels soon began attracting the attention of other publishing houses, who began releasing their own versions, mimicking the yellow covers. The popularity of these series eventually established the word giallo as meaning a mystery novel.
For Italian audiences, giallo has come to refer to any kind of thriller, regardless of its origin. Thus, American, British or other thrillers such as Psycho, Vertigo or Peeping Tom are considered gialli. For English-speaking audiences however, the term has over time come to refer only to a very specific type of Italian-produced thriller which Italian audiences have historically referred to as "thrilling all'italiana" 'thriller, Italian style' or, sometimes, "spaghetti thrillers."
The film subgenre that emerged from these novels in the 1960s began as literal adaptations of the books, but soon began taking advantage of modern cinematic techniques to create a unique genre which veered into horror and psychological thrillers. The giallo film genre proved to be a major influence on the later slasher film genre.
Giallo films are generally characterized as gruesome murder-mystery thrillers that combine the suspense elements of a Hitchcock film with scenes of shocking horror featuring excessive bloodletting, stylish camerawork, and often jarring musical arrangements. The standard plot, used in countless films, involves a mysterious, black-gloved psychopathic killer who stalks and butchers a series of beautiful women. The killings are invariably violent and gory, including throat-slashings and decapitations. These murders often occur when the victim is most vulnerable (showering, taking a bath, or scantily clad). The literary whodunit element is retained, while being filtered through Italy's longstanding tradition of opera and staged grand guignol drama. There are also stories that involve supernatural forces, ghostly spirits, etc. Giallo films often include liberal amounts of nudity and sex, with several actresses becoming strongly associated with the genre such as Edwige Fenech, Barbara Bach, Daria Nicolodi, Barbara Bouchet, Suzy Kendall, Ida Galli, and Anita Strindberg.
Gialli typically introduce strong psychological themes of madness, alienation and paranoia. For example, Sergio Martino's Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key was explicitly based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Black Cat". A typical giallo finale will reveal the killer to be a mentally disturbed madman (or woman) posing throughout the film as a very normal, even subdued, individual, while the more obvious suspects turn out to be red herrings. Typically the killer is well-hidden with a hat, sunglasses, gloves, and/or trench coat to conceal their features, and even gender.
One reason this film genre remains unique is its expressive use of music, most notably Dario Argento's collaborations with Ennio Morricone and his musical director Bruno Nicolai, and later with the band Goblin.
Gialli often feature titles based on animal references or the use of numbers. Examples of the former trend include Giornata nera per l'ariete, La morte negli occhi del gatto and La tarantola dal ventre nero; while instances of the latter include Sette note in nero and Sette scialli di seta gialla.[1]
As well as the literary giallo tradition, the films were also initially influenced by the German "krimi" phenomenon—originally black and white films of the 1960s that were based on Edgar Wallace stories. A particularly good example is The Monster of London City (1964) which seems almost like a prototype of the Italian giallo in every aspect. The Swedish director Arne Mattsson has also been pointed out as an influence, in particular his film Mannequin in Red (1958).
The first giallo film is Mario Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963). Its title alludes to Alfred Hitchcock's famous The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), again establishing strong links with Anglo-American culture. Bava's stylish and influential Blood and Black Lace (1964) introduced elements that became emblematic of the genre: a masked stalker with a shiny weapon in his black-gloved hand who brutally murders a series of glamorous fashion models.[2]
Dario Argento's first feature, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970), was greatly influenced by Blood and Black Lace and introduced a new level of stylish violence and suspense that helped redefine the genre. The film was a box office smash and was widely imitated. Its success encouraged a frenzy of Italian film makers to shoot more colorful and gory films. Soon the giallo became a genre of its own, with its own rules and with a typical Italian flavour: adding additional layers of intense colour and style. The term "giallo" finally became synonymous with a heavy, theatrical and stylised visual element.
The genre had its heyday from 1968 through 1978, with dozens of films released. The most prolific period however was the three-year timespan between 1971 and 1973, during which time 65 different gialli were produced (see filmography below). Among the directors represented with notable works in this genre are Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Sergio Martino, Paolo Cavara and Umberto Lenzi.
Pupi Avati went as far as satirizing the genre in 1977 with a slapstick giallo titled Tutti defunti... tranne i morti.
Although often based around crime and detective work, gialli should not be confused with the other popular Italian crime genre of the 1970s, the poliziotteschi, which refers to "tough cop", action-oriented films (largely influenced by Dirty Harry, The Godfather, and The French Connection). Directors and stars often moved between both genres, and some films could be considered under either banner, such as Massimo Dallamano's 1974 film La polizia chiede aiuto (What Have They Done to Your Daughters?).
The giallo cycle has had a lasting effect on horror films and murder mysteries made outside of Italy since the late 1960s. This cinematic style and unflinching content is also at the root of the gory slasher and splatter films that became widely popular in the early 1980s. In particular, two violent shockers from Mario Bava, Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970) and Twitch of the Death Nerve (1971) were especially influential.
Early examples of the giallo effect can be seen in the British film Berserk! (1967) and the American mystery-thrillers No Way to Treat a Lady (1968), Klute (1971), Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971, based on an Italian novel), Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy (1972), Vincent Price's Madhouse (1974) and Eyes of Laura Mars (1978). Berberian Sound Studio (2012) offers an affectionate tribute to the genre.

David Rivera Could Win Re-Election Despite Ethics Scandal
It stands to reason that an ethics scandal should put a damper on a political campaign.
But in South Florida, that isn't quite the case.
U.S. Representative David Rivera has been investigated by local and state officials for various ethics violations, but that hasn't put the kibosh on his bid for re-election.
The Miami congressman is also under federal investigation for allegations that he misspent campaign funds.
At one point, Miami-Dade prosecutors had been preparing to charge Rivera with 52 counts of theft, money laundering and racketeering. But officials threw out those charges, arguing that state laws regarding campaign finances were too lax to formerly charge Rivera with wrongdoing.
Rivera is now running for re-election in the House, and he has a good shot at keeping his seat.
Dan Krassner, founder of Integrity Florida, a group that monitors public corruption, says Rivera's situation is not unheard of. "Integrity Florida definitely sees public officials that have ethics complaints filed against them, and even those that are known to violate ethics laws return to office," he says. "Sometimes constituents are willing to hold their nose or look the other way at an official if they feel the official has delivered for their community."
Rivera's Democratic challengers have been battling it out over the past few weeks. Joe Garcia, Gloria Romero Roses and Gustavo Marin have been trading barbs via endorsements and mailers.
In November, Rivera will face the winner of that race.
The newly-drawn mostly Republican district stretches from Kendall to Key West.
