Special Notice Accessing E-Books
If you want to borrow or reserve an e-book, it will be easier if you do this directly through the ePukapuka site rather than the library catalogue.
If you do want to borrow or reserve an e-book you have found on our catalogue you will need to follow the instructions in the library catalogue carefully, which will involve you signing in and searching twice for the item.
We are working closely with IT people and the providers of our e-book service to simplify this and will notify library customers via this website and the library catalogue site
If you have placed a reserve for a book can you please contact your library to make sure the reserve is still active.
The transfer of data from our old system to the new one has meant some (not all) reserves have not transferred properly.
Thank you for your patience as we iron out these wrinkles in our new system. We hope it won't be too disruptive. The staff are only too happy to answer any questions you may have so don't hesitate to ask.

Hello everyone.
Ok, I know Ranch and some builders formed a legion known as VMKMM but I was wondering what happened to the remnants of the Trivia Team.
Shades disappeared. And I was very anxious to see how progress was being made. In fact, I was wondering if Trivia Team was still alive?
If not, I would hope to have an effort in reviving it. We have many spirited VMK players here who can do great things.
So, let's recoup here and come up with something absolutely amazing!!

How pretty! Lucky you! They're really beautiful. Sometimes I doubt my DH has a romantic bone in his body. Yesterday was our anniversary. |
I'm sorry, Jen. :-( I really wasn't expecting flower this year. We're sort of fighting. Well, not really fighting, but more just that we're kind of both hot happy with each other right now. lol Anyway, it was a nice surprise, that's for sure. :-) |
Deep down he must be happier with you than he's seeming on the outside! That's sweet! DH and I have this unfortunate situation that (because we're self-employed) our taxes are due on the 15th. We've got our anniversary on the 13th, Valentines Day on the 14th, and my birthday on the 15th, but we're always kind of stressed and grumpy with each other this time of year. Even though we have a lawyer do the taxes, just getting everything in order is pretty stressful...plus DH gets frustrated with how much money we run through in a year for expenses (machinery, fuel, seed, etc.) |
Our February is really busy with holidays. We've got Keith's the first week, Valentine's Day the 2nd, then my birthday is next week. That's a lot of gift $ for one month. He usually just gets a couple of nice cards from me. :-) |

Taping 'Diagnosing Solutions'
January 26, 2012
Enrique Cerna moderates a panel on prescription drug abuse in the KCTS-9 studio. Photo credit: Peter Johnson.
Experts on prescription drug abuse gathered at KCTS 9's studios in Seattle today to tape a panel discussion. Over the course of a half hour, the panel discussed the medical and social causes of prescription drug abuse and policies that might make a dent in the addiction epidemic. The discussion will air Monday, January 30 at 9 p.m. on KCTS-9, following the airing of InvestigateWest and KCTS's jointly-produced "Prescription for Abuse" documentary.
The panel included policymakers, law enforcement, medical professionals, and treatment experts, as well as our own Carol Smith, who wrote the two-part investigation on which the documentary is based. The experts agreed that the massive upsurge of prescription drug abuse in recent years is directly related to an upsurge in opioid prescriptions from doctors; in the late 90s, the medical profession concluded that its methodologies for treating both chronic and acute pain were ineffectual and began to prescribe more opioid medications as a result.
However, that well-intentioned change in medical practice resulted in disaster for many patients. Some doctors reacted to the new methodology by overprescribing medication for pain patients—a fumble that allowed incredibly powerful narcotics to sneak into American homes.
Given that prescription drugs are prescribed by doctors for patients with legitimate pain needs, the profile of a prescription drug addict often doesn't match that of a street drug user.
Sean Riley, a former Kirkland police officer and a panel member, is one such patient. After he suffered an injury on the job, he began abusing Vicodin prescribed to him by his doctor. "I thought it was okay because a doctor had given it to me," Riley said. "I wanted that edge. ...I wanted to get back on the job before I was scheduled [to do so.]"
However, instead of increasing his productivity, Riley found himself on a path deep into addiction -- one that eventually led to his arrest for prescription fraud. Though it cost him the job he loved, Riley has embarked on a new career – one he finds even more meaningful -- as an activist fighting addiction in the law enforcement and emergency worker community.
Riley pointedly credits his current health and productivity to the availability of treatment options rather than jail time or other punitive action. "I really think treatment is the best option for [emergency worker addicts] and the population at large."
To learn more, check out the trailer for the documentary.
Equal Justice | December 2014
Grand jury reform propelled by Ferguson
With grand jury reform elsewhere focused on eliminating racial bias and curbing police use of force, Oregon is an outlier: It is one of just 14 states that do not regularly record the citizen grand juries that charge people with felonies.
Almost five years after police killed an unarmed black man in Portland and the Multnomah Co. district attorney petitioned for that grand jury to be recorded, lawmakers in Salem are lining up behind a reform bill to mandate recording statewide, InvestigateWest has learned.
Seafood | December 2014
Food fight pits iconic halibut against exports, fast food
A struggle in Alaska over shrinking supplies of halibut is threatening the iconic centerpiece fish in favor of cheaper exports, fast-food fillets and fish sticks.
At risk is most of the frozen supply that sustains restaurants, food-service companies and retail stores nationwide, such as Costco and Whole Foods. Lee van der Voo investigates.

Gangs taking over Northwest child sex trade, say authorities
Authorities say organized gangs increasingly are trafficking children for sex in the Northwest, and even cooperating with each other to stymie police.
Meanwhile in Portland, the U.S. Attorney's Office has become the third most prolific nationally in securing indictments for trafficking children and adults for sex.

Minimum Wage | August 2014
Washington struggles to help workers collect millions in stolen wages
"Everyone is aware that passing a $15 an hour minimum wage was historic," an advisor to Mayor Ed Murray and the Seattle City Council told InvestigateWest. "But if we cannot enforce that, we haven't accomplished much."
Based on a review of more than 20,000 wage theft complaints, hundreds of pages of reports and more than a dozen interviews, "Stolen Wages" shines a light on the dark world of pay violations in Seattle and across Washington.

Bridge Safety a Year After
I-5 Bridge Collapse
Party politics have thwarted bridge safety improvements, and an investigation drags on to decide how the trucking company, its escort car and the state may share blame. Yet a new mapping tool for truckers may offer hope, Jason Alcorn reports.

Inside the Box: The Price of Portable Classrooms
Portable, modular or relocatable classrooms — whatever you call them — are a necessity for cash-strapped schools.
But many portables become permanent fixtures, in place for decades at a time. Costly and insufficient, these aging structures burden the grid, frustrate teachers and administrators and compromise student health.

Smoke and Numbers: Inside Green Claims for Burning Wood
Energizing our world with wood sounds so natural. And it has quickly become a multibillion-dollar industry as governments including British Columbia and the European Union turn to biomass to replace dirty old coal. Yet what we found when we dug into the coal-vs.-wood debate will surprise you.

How Will Washington Solve Its
Toxic-Fish Problem?
We update our 2013 series on Washington's estimated fish consumption rate with news of a private meeting where Gov. Jay Inslee and his advisers wrestled with how much to protect business versus consumers when it comes to water pollution in the fish we eat.

Despite Deaths, Push to Open Roads to ATVs
Manufacturers put a warning sticker on every ATV sold: The vehicles aren't meant for roads. But a push to allow just that is rolling out across the country. Washington and three other states passed new laws in 2013, among 22 states to allow or expand ATV access to roads since 2004.

Fishing Reform Drives Inequality
It's the unexpected catch in catch-share programs: A federal program that was supposed to help preserve and enhance the fishing economy in Kake, Alaska, has instead helped cause a severe decline. Meanwhile, 50 miles southeast, the town of Petersburg is booming.
The third part in our trilogy of fish stories examines the consequences catch-share policy where it was born, even as the model has been established in 14 other U.S. fisheries, encompassing dozens of species ranging from New England scallops to Pacific sole.

Exhaust Fouls Public Schools in Washington
Of the roughly 50,000 kids who will attend Seattle schools this fall, nearly 2,000 will hit the books in classrooms within 500 feet of Interstate 5, InvestigateWest has found. This despite a body of evidence dating back decades that highway air pollution can cause lifelong respiratory problems and asthma attacks and boost school absenteeism.
From Seattle to Spokane, what can be done to make sure schools are healthy places for kids?

Mar 23rd 2012 4:19PM Havent used flightpaths in a long LONG time on my main since epic flying is actually faster than bought flights.
You save time at the beginning and end where they loop, save even more time by flying direct instead of looping around but most importantly the actual raw speed is faster too.
And it means you can jump off at any point if you something something you wanna grab/kill.
Maybe with these changes the FP's might actually be useful again? It'd have to be a significant increase though.

Garrosh didn't order the attacks on the druids.
Garrosh thought he was fighting a fair fight with Cairne, and was very angry when he found out the truth.
Garrosh has been strictly sticking to his code of honour.
Garrosh truly believes in the Horde and furthering their cause.
He's not really a bad guy. If they will be making him do something TERRIBLE (warcrimes)and using it as a reason to remove him from power then it will have to be pretty contrived, as it will be totally out of character for him.
Its like Illidan in W3, he sacrifices his form for the good of his people, almost takes out the Lich King until the rest interfere, then all of a sudden TBC comes out and he's a bad guy, and most people who have never played the RTS games or read the books just assumes he's a bad guy.
Is reforging a hit or a miss? {WoW}
Mar 13th 2012 2:04PM Hmm, that didnt come across properly at all.
What I meant to say was that for my main yes I do gem and reforge (and to a lesser extent enchant) and I have no problems holding my own in groups and we finish the dungeons no problem.
In some of these dungeons though I often see people come in with lower-level gear who are obviously trying to upgrade it so didnt bother gemming it, and others in the group try to vote-kick them for having crappy gear. I always say No to the vote, since I know my alts will get to that point one day (they are all under 80 atm so have no gems) and I wouldnt want to be kicked even when I know how to play just because I didnt spend time/effort/gold on a gem that will be used for hours before I replace the gear.
Is having the lowest (+5 ?) gems in their slots really so much better than having no gems?
Is reforging a hit or a miss? {WoW}
Mar 12th 2012 8:06PM As a casual player having gems AND enchants AND reforging on gear is a pain! Especially for gear you'll be upgrading as you go along.
Makes sense for gear at end-game raiding, but for heroics/LFR its too much, yet if your gear has none of the above then you get abuse/kicked.
(My main does have gems and all gear is reforged, though I only enchant a few things - all the rest of my alt army dont bother though.)
The Queue: Come to me, Mass Effect 3 {WoW}

Anyway the bit after the above was something along the lines of : The essence of Pandaren is not the essence of Po from Kung-Fu Panda
The Queue: Come to me, Mass Effect 3 {WoW}
Mar 5th 2012 4:42PM The thing that most people seem to be overlooking is that Pandaren were around a long time ago with their own culture/vibe/backstory in the Warcraft RTS games.
Then many years later Kung-Fu Panda came along that had this silly jokey vibe to it.
>>> That does not mean Pandaren are going to be Kung-FU Pandas, they are going to be the Pandaren they have always been!

Even though I'll have access to the beta I wont be logging in at all - would rather see the finished polished game than have it spoilt by bugs and class/spec changes that just confuse the final product.

Florida Community Asks Mermaid To Swim Elsewhere
By Mark Memmott
Jenna Conti just wants to swim.
In her custom-made mermaid costume.
At the Fishhawk Ranch community pools in Tampa, Fla.
But rules are rules, the local development district board says. And the rules say no swim fins in the pools.
So Conti, or Eden Sirene as she's known when she swims, has been left high and dry.
She "just wanted to really show some magic here in Fishhawk," Conti says.
Still, her dream lives on. She hopes to someday swim with other mermaids at the Florida Aquarium.

I'm dying to wear warm weather clothing so much that I've begun internet stalking celebrities who are in hotter climates. Today's style obsession is Kourtney Kardashian, who is strutting it up in Miami now. I'm digging how her blazer is taming the flirty romper. And I have plans to re-create this cute look as soon as Memorial Day comes, but of course my outfit will be budget-friendly. Here's how I'll do it ...

GeoFlow from Microsoft
Can innovative interactive graphics come from Microsoft? Sure! Although we like to pick on Microsoft for lots of reason the still have some great products and have just released a new tool that integrates two of their best: Excel and Bing Maps.
According to Bing Map's blog post, the new tool called, GeoFlow allows user the ability to display geocoded Excel data in 3D space on a Bing map making for interesting stacked bar visualizations on an interactive map.
"'Geoflow' emphasizes visual storytelling through collaborative features that show changes in data over time with beautiful screenshots and cinematic, guided video tours." ~Bing Blog
This seems like a simple tool, like using Google Fusion Tables but with the geo-coding aspect that can display up to a million rows of data. While the demo looks good, we are looking forward to seing how easy it is to use.
Check it out and let us know if you think it will be useful.

Park access was a bit difficult due to road construction but if you pay attention to the signage you will find your way. Park is very good for an overnight stop or for visiting the outlet mall. Pool was nice and clean, office staff was friendly and professional. Beyond that there is not much to say. I would stay here again if I need something on the south side of Portland - CG Pilot
We love this place, nothing fancy but that doesn't seem to be their mission. Clean facility with good access to the Outlets and a nice stop on the way to the coast. - lmcgill

How often do you change your Air compressorŌĆÖs oil and Air filter? Unless I get lucky, I have lost my 1972ŌĆÖs model # 106.153542 SearŌĆÖs Twin Cylinder Air CompressorŌĆÖs manual to see the recommendations. What weight and type of oil goes in Sears twin cylinder air compressor model 106.153542? 30wt HD oil is what I feel I have used vs a 30wt non-detergent. I saw a good discussion of detergent vs non detergent on this site but would like to know what the manual recommend. 1. 70s - 80s when I used it short periods weekly I feel I changed them at least every 2 yrs (mainly cleaning filters). 2. I have not ever seen the oil low or bad looking at the yearly checks. 3. The most frequent check is for moisture in the tank. I added a ┬ŠŌĆØ galvanized pipe as a reservoir (to help save the tank) and easy draining access. 4. A dated maintenance info tracking board (plastic) is wires to the compressor. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can,t help you with the OEM Operating Manual , but rule of thumb is sae 30 or 40 for most homeowner compressors . I have replaced all my units with synthetic oil either Royal Purple or Amsoil 15-30 for the Great White Norths ambient annual temps. Oil change intervals usually every two yrs along with air filter and dryer elements. I have Cambell Hausfield and a Ingersol Rand units both over 12 yrs old . |
Thanks ewalk! Good hearing from you. My Monster has lasted 40 yrs and I have another identical like new waiting minus the motor if needed. I have stock piled Too Much Stuff over the years. I just loaded my last CTR color monitor today to take to GoodWill tomorrow. I have had over 10 complete computer sys here when I was into that. Now I need my ŌĆ£Closet SpaceŌĆØ, Peace Of Mind for my one 3 yr old GranddaughterŌĆÖs projects. Take Care! |

"Very yummy! The only thing I did differently was that I added 1/2 of a lemons juice to the egg mixture and placed a slice of lemon on each porkchop. I loved it, but my husband, whom doesn't especially love lemon in general, liked it but didn't take seconds. If you like lemon flavor, add it! You'll enjoy it!"
"Even my very picky husband, who doesn't like chicken breast because it's too "dry," LOVED this!! Definitely a keeper!!"
"This recipe halves well for my family of 4. I made them small, as my husband likes them crispy, but no mush inside, and they turned out perfect. Highly reccomended recipe!!"
"My kids and I made these to share for their fall parties at school, and they were a HUGE hit!!! They turn out just adorable! Thanks for a fun and quick idea, everyone is sure to love!"
"My kids and I really liked it, and it was easy enough for my 10 year old niece to handle all alone. Thanks for a great quick and easy weeknight recipe."
"These turned out great! Just like the ones I get at the fair!! Love the ketchup bottle idea!"
"These were really fun and easy!! Time consuming, but worth the effort. Especially if you like thin mints as much as I do! People didn't believe that I had made them, and they weren't store bought. Thanks for the great recipe!!!"
"OH MY GOODNESS!! This is to DIE for!! I couldn't resist it and ate almost a whole pound by the time it was gone! I absolutely LOVED it!!!!!"

I suppose it was only a matter of time before the now infamous "Balloon Boy" was the subject of severe viral mocking and thanks to the makers of "I'm in a box," a viral parody of both Balloon Boy and The Lonely Island hit "I'm on a boat," has now been accomplished.
The "I'm in a box" parody chronicles little Falcon Heene (Balloon Boy) from the time that his parents cooked up the scheme.
I, for one, feel sorry for the Balloon Boy because you just know that that kid, thanks to his parents, now has a rather unfortunate nickname for the rest of his life.

Talisman Prologue HD Review
Adapting a good board game into an iOS game is hard enough. So what's a developer to do with Talisman, which might best be described as Chutes and Ladders for fantasy nerds? Nomad Games has an answer: translate the game as faithfully as possible while stripping it down to a single-player experience. The surprising thing about this answer is that Talisman Prologue's simplicity highlights what made the original Talisman a classic. In Talisman, you play Read More

Spoken Word comes honestly to Mississippi's own DAVID BANNER, from his days at Southern University at Baton Rouge when he spit verses on a regular basis to anyone that would listen. After securing a business degree from the university, he capitalized on his gift for wordplay, turning it into a record deal with SRC/ Universal. Recently, the platinum-selling artist spoke with LuxuryAwaits.com about his college days, the importance of butterflies, and a Verses & Flow experience he'll never forget.
LA: You received your business degree from Southern University. Has that degree helped you as you handle your business in your career?
DB: Well, there's no doubt the degree has helped, but not as much as the college experience itself. The way that going to Southern prepared me for the art of networking, how it helped me bond with classmates through the struggles of attending a Historically Black College and sharing the experience of being broke, which made you depend on others… all of that was invaluable for me. These days with the Internet, a lot of human interaction is taken for granted. Not with me, though. With the small things I learned in college--everything from shaking hands and knowing that cologne placed in the right spot will leave your scent behind long after you left--it helped prepare me for the real world.
You've put out a lot of albums since the first one in 2000. And now you're becoming a known entity on the spoken word circuit. Which really begs the question, do you prefer one over the other?
Well, I was always a part of the spoken word scene at Southern. That's actually how I became president of the Student Government Association, to tell the truth. While part of a poetry collective, I'd heard folks discussing all that was wrong with the school. So poetry has always been a part of my portfolio, and truthfully, all songs are poetry supported by beats, so it was a natural transition for me to go from spoken word to music. It goes hand in hand, so I really don't have to choose.
How did you come to be involved with Verses & Flow? And what was that experience like for you?
One of my business partners, Corey Smith, is very good friends with one of the talent coordinators with the show. Of course, Corey remembered that I'd performed on Def Poetry back in the day, right after I released my first album, and I ripped it. So he thought it was a good opportunity for me to perform on Verses & Flow, which was a wonderful experience. You know, I've done a lot over the years, from scoring films and commercials for Gatorade and Capcom. I'm working on my ninth film right now, as a matter of fact. But no matter what I've done, I still get butterflies when I'm about to hit the stage. It was good to be nervous again, to have to dig deep into what I wrote to find the words, to not be able to hide behind the beats and have to articulate every word. I liked that.
Your piece "Swag" is one you performed on the show. It's also a song from your latest project. Tell us what was going through your mind as you were sharing it from the stage.
With a song like that, where the beats go so hard, it's easy to miss the message of the lyrics. A song like that, which talks about the state a lot of us live in today, is so powerful that it transcends spoken word and song. It needed to be heard, and I thank Verses & Flow for allowing me to share it with a national audience. And you know what, I have to share this. Something happened while I was performing that piece. There was a 70 year old man in the front row. Like, right there, staring at me as I'm preparing to deliver the piece. Usually, when one of our elders hears a curse word coming from a rapper's mouth, they automatically shut down and don't hear the message for what it is. To see this older gentleman not only hear the message, but almost burst into tears after hearing it… for it to mean something to him was one of the most powerful things that's happened to me in a long time. It really did something to me, and I'll never forget it.
So, you're a rapper/songwriter/producer/spoken word artist. What's next for you?
You know, it's whatever God has in store. Like I said before, I've accomplished a lot throughout my career, and sacrificed a lot to be an artist and to be on that grind. The one thing I'm really looking forward to is becoming a father, having someone to pass the things I've learned onto, to have an immediate family. That's what I'm most looking forward to in the near future.

TUCSON - Changes may be coming to Reid Park Zoo if the city OKs its master plan.
Expanding the health center and adding an exhibit is part of the $10 million upgrade.
The expansion would add viewing windows to part of the health center, so that the public could see behind the scenes.
The vision was to allow visitors to see veterinarians treating the animals.
"If it has a broken foot, then they can take care of it or a broken wing," said Drake and Piper Thompson, who were visiting the zoo.
It is something the general public doesn't have access to right now, but that could soon change.
"I think it would be great to educate the kids more of exactly what goes on behind the scenes," said parent Frantina Monarrez.
Not only would the health center expansion be for public education, but also the needs of a growing zoo.
Right now the health center is a small building with limited space for animals and medical machines.
"As we grow and new technology is developed and we acquire the technology to care for these animals, we need the facilities to do it," said Dr. Alexis Moreno, veterinarian with Reid Park Zoo.
Another part of the master plan is a new hippo exhibit.
"We could potentially have the opportunity for people to have underwater viewing of hippos, they are very active and very graceful underwater," said Vivian VanPeenen, with Reid Park Zoo.
The plan will be presented during Tuesday's city council meeting.

Volkswagen presents the winning projects from People's Car internet contest! Amazing concepts and ideas!
Vw People Car contest winner Hover Car.JPG
Car Music concept vw people car contest
Smart Key concept vw people car contest
Hover Car flying levitate concept vw people car contest
Volkswagen has launched a contest in which all Internet users can show their ideas on future car. From the 119,000 ideas, German manufacturer chose to expose them only three at motor show in China.
Project called People's Car initiated by Volkswagen (here is a good term choice because the German word "Volkswagen" means exactly "people's car") is a form of dialogue between the German manufacturer and customer. They can expose their future car ideas on www.zaoche.com site. During the contest there were over 33 million visitors and 119,000 ideas were submitted. Volkswagen chose three of them for presentation in the Motor Show in China.
The first one is "Car Music", a concept of individualization of exterior design. The exterior is covered with light emitting diodes that change color depending on the music they listen to car occupants. Volkswagen claims that this concept is very well seen in the eyes of young drivers, creating a new way of expression.
The second one is "Smart Key" and is more viable for mass production. The Chinese have imagined a new kind of just nine millimeters key features a touch-screen display. This will keep the driver aware of everything going on in his car. Also, the driver can see the car with a live satellite transmissions.
The last concept, but the most interesting is "Hover Car". This is a model for two people, who can levitate above the road helped by an electromagnetic field. The winner project belongs to a young adolscente and Volkswagen did a video in which the main stars are even her parents. View the video to "Hover Car".

When I started working as a product owner for the online shop at Telefónica Germany (also known as o2) in 2009, Scrum had already been established in the portal development unit. During the last four years the way me and my fellow product owners work has changed and matured significantly. And I think this is part of the magic of Scrum: always trying to get better, questioning the way you work and constantly improving things that need fixing (this is why retrospectives are so important).
These are my top 10 learnings of the last four years as a product owner.
1 Confront the team with the topics early
Soon after I took over the online shop team we established weekly backlog grooming meetings where the upcoming stories were discussed and estimated. In many cases the team had much better solutions for stories than I or my peers from online marketing had in mind. The team adds value. We use the meeting to discuss rough requirements and detail them out together. Avoid bringing a story completely unknown to the team into the sprint planning as it will dramatically lengthen it – depending on the complexity.
2 Have fun, celebrate success
That's an easy one. If you fill in a little bit of fun during meetings they are so much more fun, the team is a lot more motivated and they enjoy working together with you a lot more. If the meetings you are responsible for are fun to be in, people will like to attend. And do not forget to celebrate sucess. Bring candy to the sprint review. Champagne or beer after a major launch – depending on the team's preferences.
3 Attend the daily standups as often as possible
But if you do so, do not try to influence the sprint. Trust the team's self organizing power. Simply listen and be helpful. After the team is finished with its topics I usually give updates on what's happening in the company. Almost every day they ask questions concerning the stories they are currently working on, so it's a perfect opportunity to clarify things after the standup meeting and before they dive into their workday.
4 Treat the team well
Say thank you, praise their work after the demo, be constructive with feedback even if it's negative. Be understanding if there are personal problems or sickness. You'll get rewarded when you desperately need their help someday. They'll love to help you in case of an emergency. What goes around, comes around.
5 Avoid islands of knowledge.
We have always encouraged the team members not to specialize too much in a specific area. Have a frontend developer implement a backend service. Let a backend guy build a GUI even if it takes longer. Have the team members take turns doing the sprint review, so they can all work on their presentation skills. Holidays and sickness won't hurt you that much if any story can be implemented by any member of the team.
6 Form component teams
While we were organized in cross functional teams in the early agile years (2006-2010), we have moved to component teams responsible for one application each, such as the online shop, the selfcare portal or the company's SSO-application. If a team is fully responsible for an application, they'll establish a feeling of ownership for it. When there is a bug they won't be trying to blame someone else, instead their pride will make them fix it asap. As I already mentioned previously, encourage your developers to be cross functional whithin the team. The quality of the source code and the SLA compliance of our portal applications have increased significantly after we switched from cross functional teams to component teams responsible for only one product.
7 Take the pressure away from the team
One of the keys to successful scrum is to keep pressure away from the team. In the end you'll be rewarded with happy team members and top notch quality of your product. The team commits to the scope of the sprint, so do not try to squeeze in more. As the product owner, I am in a different situation – I have many stakeholders who contribute topics to my backlog and who provide budget for the implementation. It sometimes feels like playing Tetris fitting in every little story or even bigger projects into the release planning. Knowing the velocity of your team, it's capacity (number of person days available during a sprint) and having an estimated and groomed backlog enables you to predict quite well when a story will be released. If you can't commit to a delivery date, just say no.
8 Peer reviews
One part of our DOD (Definition of Done) is a successful peer review. In this peer review a team member who was not involved in implementing the story tests the result from a customer perspective, checks if the code matches the coding guidelines and makes sure the tests make sense on unit- , integration and UI-level. If necessary bugs are fixed or code is refactored. The quality of our releases has improved significantly after we have introduced peer reviews.
9 Fix bugs asap
Bugs are a pain in the ass for everyone: the customers, the business units, development, operations. Whenever a bug is reported, decide whether it's super urgent (e.g. when it impacts customers) or not. Urgent bugs need to be fixed quickly and operations should deploy the fix asap. When bugs are taken care of, the rest of the team can focus on finishing the sprint. Automated builds and scripted deployments are key to success.
10 use electronic tools only when necessary
When I started working here in 2009, the backlogs as well as the sprint task boards were organized in Jira/Greenhopper. During the daily scrums a laptop was connected to a beamer, the team members reported what they had achieved the previous day and what they were planning to do today. They even reported hours worked on a task. The scrum master then fiddled around with the mouse, moving digital post-it notes around on the computer. They all hated it. And so we got rid of it. We use Jira for documenting user stories and I use the agile module for prioritizing my backlogs only. The task board is 100% analog and consists of sticky notes on a wall. We use different colours for tasks, bugs, impediments and user stories. The user stories have the JIRA ID on them, so any comments, questions and changes can be documented in the system.
This is my personal view on things of course. Sure enough, not everything we do is done according to the book. But it works well for us and the output of the team is appreciated very much by all the stakeholders. Hopefully you found something here that might help you, too….

December 18th, 2013 at 9:07 pmWhere do I get a Product Owner like you? I am an experienced Scrum Master who has a new team, recently converted to Agile/Scrum. The team is coming along very well. The Product Owner is not engaged. I would buy the give aways if he would give them out. Any ideas on how to get a remote PO, not more involved, just involved to start? Tried talking. Passed links blogs and articles. I seem to be getting across to everyone except my PO. Temporarily he has been replaced with an IT Architect, by his manager. I know we cannot be successful like this long term.
Alex Says:
December 20th, 2013 at 10:51 amHi Mike,
thank you for your comment – actually the first one in yearsYour situation does not sound good… In my opinion Scrum only works if all 3 parties play their role well: Team, ScrumMaster and PO. In the end it's all about efficiency and effectivity. The PO is usually the guy who provides the budget for the team – either directly of indirectly. He will get more value for his money if he does his job well, has a groomed backlog, motivates the team. That's a no-brainer
Do you do retrospectives where he's invited? That might help…

Hi, I don't come here often because unfortunately I'm usually too pressed for time . . . Although I do love the practical experience you all share here and I have gotten some good tips here in the past--someone turned me on to L'Occitaine eau de 4 Rein Roses perfume--thank you!
Now a new issue has popped up for me. Lately my hair seems to be falling out. Whenever I comb, brush or wash it big hunks of it slip off. It could be a thryroid issue, I'm getting that checked. Of course maybe hormones as I am approaching menopause. But is there anything I can take vitamin or supplement wise to help? I'm also under a lot of stress which I'm sure is aggravating the situation. I take glucosamine, chondroitin, lutein, billberry and vitamin C and fish oils almost every day. |

You need to see a doctor immediately. Hair falling out is serious, it could be something as minor as a vitamin deficiency but even that needs to be checked by your doctor. |
- Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Mon, Oct 20, 08 at 23:40
Well, its not like I'm going bald, it's just thinning big time. I feel OK otherwise. Yes, if it keeps up I will go to the doctor, but I'm thinking it just might be stress, hormones and maybe some kind of vitamin/supplement thing. I just had a complete physical. |
Hair loss reasons include: Stress form Illness or Surgery (even a few months back) I'm sure there are more things that can cause hair loss too. I don't know all you are taking, but I wouldn't rule out that one of your supplements may be causing the hair loss (sometimes it can take months for them to kick in). Just something to consider. And, yes, there are vitamins that can help hair loss, but I would talk to a doctor before self medicating with them. You may have just had a physical, but if you didn't mention this problem, they wouldn't have known what to look for. Were you checked for Lupus or Diabetes, for example? |
If you had a stressful occurrence in the past few months, it takes 2-3 months before its hit the hair. I've been through it too many times. Look back on that. Adding in moderate doses of B vitamins, biotin, and iron can help. Low iron can contribute to hair loss. The supplements will help it grow back faster. I know how busy you are and I'm thinking you must have had some upset or an added stress a few months back. Death or illness of a relative? Loss of a job? Job issues? Relationship troubles? They all make MY hair fall out. Getting a check up is a good thing to rule anything more serious. |

Yeah, I've had some kind of upset alright. I've been out of full time work for a year and a half and looking for a job. Meanwhile my life's savings are about gone. Will soon have to sell house and tap into retirement just to live. And the economy is looking like so much fun for the ongoing job hunt. Just a TAD stressful. Also working three part time jobs 70 hours a week but still not enough to cover bills. It's a wonder I have any hair left. Can't do anything about it though. But I can take some vitamins. I have low blood pressure, not low iron though, but an iron pill wouldn't hurt I imagine. I used to take B-vitamins but wasn't sure how much good it did. I looked at the store and the "hair and nails" supplements had MSM or whatever that stuff is, plus chondroitin which I already take. I don't know much about the MSM but I think it is related to testosterone, don't know much about that. I don't want to loose hair on my head and increase the rate it is showing up in other odd places, lol! |
I think your self medicating yourself with vitamins and supplements is a big mistake. Don't people get if something can help you it can also hurt you. Too much iron can be bad. Chondroitin, for example, even lists hair loss as a side effect. Are you even aware of that? p.s. If you're upset about the resent stock market stuff that kind of stress probably wouldn't have hit your hair yet. It would more or less be a really "big" stressor from about 3 months ago. A surgery, death of family member, divorce, fire, etc... generally not a continuing job hunt or ongoing worry. Talk to a doctor, or at least let them advise you about supplements. You may be causing your own problems and/or creating new ones. Or, worse yet, you may be masking a real problem. |

I have a degree in Biology and have researched these supplements and have been taking them for years. I don't just buy supplements for the heck of it--too expensive. That's why I quit taking the B-vitamin supplements and iron, I usually get enough of those nutrients in my diet, but with the ongoing stress of three jobs and being on the road I am probably not doing as well in the vitamin department as I usually do, my schedule has been tight for cooking and lunch/dinner packing. I'm certainly capable of researching vitamin supplements and talking to my doctor. Hair thinning is a side effect of menopause too, so I'm sure hormones have something to do with it. I just posted here to see if anyone else had had a similar situation with their hair (not a medical emergency problem) and if anything they did helped. I always research the science behind what I do, both medically and in the beauty department. And not the techno-babble the advertisers spew out either. |
- Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Tue, Oct 21, 08 at 17:01
BTW, in case anyone is interested, I was mixed up on the MSM. That's not the stuff that is a precurser to testosterone, that would be DHEA. That's also in some of the hair supplements. That one I have researched and am pretty skeptical about, and would definately not take without consulting my doctor. MSM is a sulphuric compound and is sometimes taken along with glucosamine and chondroitin. I take those other two just as the Mayo Clinic prescribes, for mild osteoarthritis. I take Lutein and vitamin C as recommended by my doctor because I have macular degeneration. Taking a lot of supplements you don't need is a waste of money--at best you will pee away your money. At worst you can suffer from negative side effects like stomache upset, blood sugar effects, blood pressure effects, etc. |
I cautiously take some supplements for the same reasons. B vitamins will make me throw them right back up if I'm not very careful to take them with a meal. I tend to be anemic so iron is important to me. And historically I will become anemic when stressed more than usual. Divorce, pregnancy, etc. |
after the birth of my 2nd child 17 years ago, i noticed the rate of my hair loss increasing...and knew that hair loss after pregnancy is normal. after my 3rd child, it might have increased somewhat, but i don't remember noticing so much. however, about 10 years ago i defintely began to notice a significant increase in my hair loss-especially during/after washing. i have always had extremely thick and curly hair, and for years it wasn't noticeable. only in the last year or 2 have i noticed that it is thinning.... my ponytail isn't nearly as thick as it used to be and i think i'm getting abit of of a widow's peak... hairline receding abit. over a year ago i worried abit about it and had a physical and thyroid tests, etc and all came out normal.... i'm assuming it's genetic/hormonal. my hair is by no means very thin, but it is much thinner than it was.......... |
I have a bottle of hair and nails supplements. Mine has no odd things in it. The link contains the ingredients. Pretty standard stuff. Some of the reviewers complain of stomach upset but any vitamin supplement will do that on an empty tummy for me. |

I don't take vitamins anymore after I found out they are mostly made in China..... |
Have you had anesthesia within the last year? That can do it, I've heard. |
- Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Sun, Nov 2, 08 at 10:27
I've started taking a multi-vitamin, my mom gave them to me since she can't take iron any more. Don't know where they were made though. I suppose it can't hurt. Hasn't stopped the hair loss though. I got my thyroid test results back, my levels have actually gone UP, so my dosage of thyroid hormone is going to be reduced. If the hair loss keeps up, I will see the doctor about it, but I still think it is just a menopause thing. Wish there was something I could do about this one though--it's bad enough with the chin hairs and the weird blotches and growths that keep showing up all over my body. Yes, I keep an eye on those too, what a PAIN! Grey hair is a walk in the park compared to all this other carp. I can't seem to hang on to any of my femmine charms. |
I feel your pain. Fortunately I am pretty hairless, I barely shave my ankles! I have not begun to sprout chin hairs, knock wood. Take some biotin, it will promote sturdy growth of both hair and nails. Blotches I've had since my twenties. We won't discuss moles... Try to find some quiet meditative time for yourself each day to deal with the mounting stress. Relationships also cause stress so maintain boundaries with unpleasant people who don't offer support to your spirit. |

I got my hair cut this week and the stylist said people loose more hair in the fall. I don't know if she just said that to make me feel better or what, but it worked, lol! She gave me a great cut and I feel a lot better about my hair. I'm still shedding like crazy so will eventually check with the doctor. But so far my scalp is still covered! |
When I started perimenopause and my hormone levels changed I saw the same issue. That may not be the issue for you though. Make sure you go see a doctor and tell them about the hair loss. They'll make sure it's not something serious. |
I had the same thing. Thank goodness I had thick hair to start with cause I lost alot! If you are nearing menopause I would urge you to read "The Sexy Years"; "Ageless"; and "Breakthrough".......all authored by Suzanne Somers. I have learned so much and am getting my life (and hair!) back. Unfortunately, it took several doctors before I found someone to listen. Mine ended up to be extremely low testosterone and a low functioning thyroid. I had saliva testing done because it is more accurate. |

Wells Fargo took over Wachovia and things haven't been the same for me since.
I really loved my bank. In a small town pretty much everyone knows your name, especially if you have lived there all your life and if you've always had the same bank. I always go to the drive thru window and the ladies
I have never been talked to in such a manner in my life.
Today I had to go to the bank and both ladies waved to me as I pulled up. When it came my turn, I pulled up, reached over and took the tube put my deposit in and was attempting to
Be careful while banking. :0) |

I totally agree with your statement:"Wells Fargo took over Wachovia and things haven't been the same for me since. I really loved my bank." We've been customers of WF for more than 30 years and for the most part it has been a good and easy relationship. After WF took over Wachovia , I felt like I was treated like a criminal just by walking into a branch. There were a couple of people at the door asking how they could "HELP" me.I had to explain what I wanted to do in the bank. Lol, I wanted to deposite a couple of checks. Once I was in line, there was a camera trained on my face, and by the time I got to the tellers, they knew my name and called me by name. I had never been in that branch before. I think WF knows they bought a "bad bank" and did everything they could to protect themselves. |

On my husbands XP laptop, since installing the new FF version, a page opens each time regarding missing toolbar. It is a FF search page as if someone asked about the missing toolbar-but he didn't run a FF search.
I have tried going to their support page and can't find anything about this. I uninstalled the new version and installed an older version and the same thing happens. It is a FF search page discussing the missing toolbar. He is not missing the toolbar and never ran a search. When he clicks on the FF icon to open the browser, both pages appear. Any ideas. Jane |
