It happens often in conversations with clients that I realize they have disjointed initiatives going on to support their digital transformation. The most dangerous parallel initiatives are those where, on one side, they are changing their development teams to become more Agile, but a separate initiative in the same enterprise exists where their Operations folks are running a development and operations (DevOps) transformation. The first thing I recommend to those clients is to unify or tightly connect those programs with an underlining common lean strategy. But I don't want to dig in here about Agile+DevOps and how overused and abused the term "DevOps" is. I will just recommend to you some reports we've published explaining how "Agile" and "DevOps" are two sides of the same coin (see, for example, "Faster Software Delivery Will Accelerate Digital Transformation"). The Modern Application Delivery playbook I've co-authored for years is all about what it means to adopt Agile+DevOps. Check that out too.

A few months ago, I blogged about testing quality@speed in the same way that F1 racing teams do to win races and fans. Last week, I published my F(TA)1 Forrester Wave! It examines the capabilities of nine vendors to evaluate how they support Agile development and continuous delivery teams when it comes to continuous testing: Borland, CA Technologies, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Parasoft, SmartBear, TestPlant, and Tricentis. However, only Forrester clients can attend "the race" to see the leaders.
The market overview section of our evaluation complements the analysis in the underlying model by looking at other providers that either augment FTA capabilities, play in a different market segment, or did not meet one of the criteria for inclusion in the Forrester Wave. These include: 1) open source tools like Selenium and Sahi, 2) test case design and automation tools like Grid-Tools Agile Designer, and 3) other tools, such as Original Software, which mostly focuses on graphical user interface (GUI) and packaged apps testing, and Qualitia and Applitools, which focus on GUI and visualization testing.
We deliberately weighted the Forrester Wave criteria more heavily towards "beyond GUI" and API testing approaches. Why? Because:

Formula One has gotten us all used to amazing speed. In as little as three seconds, F1 pit teams replace all four wheels on a car and even load in dozens of liters of fuel. Pit stops are no longer an impediment to success in F1 — but they can be differentiating to the point where teams that are good at it win and those that aren't lose.
It turns out that pit stops not only affect speed; they also maintain and improve quality. In fact, prestigious teams like Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Red Bull use pit stops to (usually!) prevent bad things from happening to their cars. In other words, pit stops are now a strategic component of any F1 racing strategy; they enhance speed with quality. But F1 teams also continuously test the condition of their cars and external conditions that might influence the race.

My question: Why can't we do the same with software delivery? Can fast testing pit stops help? Today, in the age of the customer, delivery teams face a challenge like none before: a business need for unprecedented speed with quality — quality@speed. Release cycle times are plummeting from years to months, weeks, or even seconds — as companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Google prove.

What a strange summer this has been! From Boston to London to Paris to Turin, the weather has offered weekly and even daily reversals, with continuous change from sun to rain, from hot and damp to cool and crisp. I missed a nice spring season. Even today, from 35º-38º Celsius (95º-100º Fahrenheit), we just went to 22º Celsius (71º Fahrenheit) with a perfect storm! A continuous climate and sudden change is quite unusual in some of these countries. Certainly it is where the Azores Anticyclone usually dominates from mid-late June to mid-late August, offering a stable summer. How many times have you had to change plans because you discover weather is about to change!?
You might be thinking, "What does this have to do with this AD&D blog?" It's about change! I am wondering if, in our daily lives, getting used to unexpected conditions and having to handle continuous change favors a mindset where change is just something we have to deal with and not fight. A new mindset very much needed given the change we see ahead in how we develop, test, and deploy software!
My focus in this blog is testing, although the first change we need to get used to is that we can't talk any longer about testing in an isolated fashion! Testing is getting more and more interconnected in a continuous feedback loop with development and deployment. (See my colleague Kurt Bittner's report on continuous delivery; I could not agree more with what Kurt says there!)

I just finished my new report on the Agile testing tools landscape. I'll point Forrester readers to it as soon as it publishes. But there are few things that have struck me since I took over the software quality and testing research coverage at Forrester and which I would like to share with you in this preview of my findings of the testing tools landscape doc.
My research focus area was initially on software development life cycles (SDLCs) with a main focus on Agile and Lean. In fact, my main contribution in the past 12 months has been to the Forrester Agile and Lean playbook, where all my testing research has also focused. Among other reasons, I took the testing research area because testing was becoming more and more a discipline for software developers. So it all made sense for me to extend my software development research focus with testing. But I was not sure how deep testing was really going to integrate with development. My concern was that I'd have to spend too much time on the traditional testing standards, processes, and practices and little on new and more advanced development and testing practices. After 12 months, I am happy to say that it was the right bet! My published recent research shows the shift testing is making, and so does the testing tool landscape document, and here is why:

DevOps is a movement for developers and operations professionals that encourages more collaboration and release automation. Why? To keep up with the faster application delivery pace of Agile. In fact, with Agile, as development teams deliver faster and in shorter cycles, IT operations finds itself unprepared to keep up with the new pace. For operations teams, managing a continuous stream of software delivery with traditional manual-based processes is Mission Impossible. Vendors have responded to DevOps requirements with more automation in their release management, delivery, and deployment tools. However, there is a key process that sits between development and operations that seems to have been given little attention: testing.
In fact, some key testing activities, like integration testing and end-to-end performance testing, are caught right in the middle of the handover process between development and operations. In the Agile and Lean playbook, I've dedicated my latest research precisely to Agile testing, because I've seen testing as the black beast in many transformations to Agile because it was initially ignored.

Recently, I've been getting more inquiries around risk based testing. In addition to agile test methods and test estimation, test teams turning their eyes to risk based testing is just another positive step in integrating quality through out the SDLC. Yes, I still see QA engineers as having to put their evangelist hats on to educate their developer brothers and sisters that quality is more than just testing (don't get me wrong, consistent unit and integration testing is a beautiful thing), however, any time that business and technology partners can think about impact and dependencies in their approach to a solid, workable application elevates quality to the next level.
Keep asking those questions about risk based testing – and make sure that you're covering all of the angles. Make sure that you're covering:

Obama's ruinous course
Here's one thought: The main reason there isn't, and may never be, a solution on the fiscal cliff is that Barack Obama doesn't know how to do a political compromise. Where in his career did Barack Obama ever learn the art of the political deal? Nowhere. …
The fiscal-cliff negotiation is a train driven by an engineer who doesn't know how to use the brake, doesn't know where the brake is and doesn't care. His idea of politics is giving campaign speeches outside Washington to assemble a Sandy of public sentiment that will blow congressional Republicans off the cliff.
Politics ain't beanbag, but it also isn't just about politics. While Barack Obama may think his election mandate includes the ruin of the Republican Party, Republicans seeking a strategy of self-preservation should assert their refusal to participate in the ruin of the nation. As it is, the fiscal cliff has degenerated into a familiar Beltway melodrama in which the media reduce the whole thing to which party gets shafted. As to the health of the gasping American economy, well, whatever.

We discuss the official departure of Kevin Garnett and Captain Paul Pierce from the Celtics to the New Jersey Nets and look back at what both of them truly meant to the franchise during their tenures hear.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
-- brought it -- very very quickly but today it was an interesting day. Because this is the day becomes official for Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett and for the Celtics and and nice note today from the Celtics organization. In the in the Boston Globe saying thank you picture pierce and Garnett. Thank you for your heart for your passion for your sacrifice. For playing through the pain for bleeding green for honoring tradition for an amazing ride for restoring Celtic pride. For banner seventeen. -- I think it's. I think it's appropriate you can probably even go. A little further what appears to -- pierce and Garnett you look at both of those guys and you say Celtics appears. We'll something special for -- because he spent his entire career here all the things that he went through. Not only as a Celtic but as a resident of Boston you think about the stabbing in 2000. How a lot of guys. Most guys I would say most cars and only they go for a big go to that they're not from here -- he's a west Coast Guard. They're asking to be traded they're demanding. As they dates or if if they're not asking for that. They are they are so. Just mentally. Just in messed up from the whole thing they can't perform at a high level beyond and Paul Pierce saw. Psychiatrists and psychologists. After that happened. They were there are a lot of there was -- -- we didn't talk to very close to his. His mom. And his Brothers there or -- there was like a six month period where he only talked to his mom. He sat down everybody else. After the stabbing so we are a lot personally you spent six months only talking to your mom. It. -- nobody else you can only talk to your mom well let's look at the time wasn't -- and he wasn't married at the time. I didn't have to give the ball right and how you want to or -- they started that talked about half a right to know. I've got to we have a text relations are -- -- Italian rail on for the day diet or else I'm sorry I can't describe I don't really wanted to just after the -- -- right there are some things that he whipped through that he overcame them and eventually went to the things again that -- thank -- pierce and -- for for your -- your -- your sacrifice playing through the pain bleeding green. Honoring tradition an amazing ride restoring Celtic pride in for banner number seventeen. If you could add one line. To the -- used to pierce and Garnett. What one line would you -- and you can even do separate one for -- one for Goran had one for whoever you want if you could. Add one line. To the thinking that the Celtics wrote to pierce and Garnett what would you add a title minus next Michael -- alcohol WE. It's called road again. Solved and all -- off the road again. Taking phone calls and checking out girls rear ends. Saw in Ali you're on the road again. -- sleeper might be the worst place ever all managed -- entirely made up of men. We're not checking on anybody's rear ends but we are on the road again. I don't with the crowd looks like in the toilet and maybe that's part of let me that's part of the festivities for later this evening. Much like to earn their respect and I clearance yet. To do that rates at. Rates that appear in court in -- the -- week. And you can see and everything Nancy we can keep batting practice. Here right now we see. -- -- not in the field. Doing some things take soft costs for him utterly full extra batting practice was taken tomorrow and soft toss in a nice city well. And realizes. That's -- everybody. You know we've got this law breakers -- in the middle of -- pretty nasty losing that lost nine straight not seen nine straight games. So today. We -- David Ortiz. David Ortiz homer night. We talked to people things happen. So we're here. -- mode -- mode Joes helped. The Sox stop -- -- game industry. -- -- -- are sitting and join us at 5 o'clock this evening to stick -- that he's really good guy in good manager been around the game forever and ever local guy so -- looking forward to getting his stake. On and on clay cius middle Brooks on some of the kids -- come up through -- already this year. And what they've been able to do in the majors. It's making them things that you see I have a vision for tonight's game. I can't see which players going to be. But I have information that there will be multi. Home run game for one of these players tonight to you have this information I hope it's a pocket play. That could be the opposition considering they've. Lost nine straight but yet -- -- -- a multi home run game kind of -- I hope Zander Bogart's. Just because. Earth summit is he's the colors right yeah but is going to be at maybe two or three homer. So the Celtics thank yours and Garnett for their part passion sacrifice playing through the pain bleeding green. Honoring tradition for an amazing ride for restoring Celtic pride. Impossible for banner number seventeen if you could add one line. To the Celtics thank you at which it took out the globe today well one line would you -- for one player for both players either one. For Garnett got to be passion. America that was an. Is especially in the area have passed it with the second one -- rated Gephardt thank you for your heart for your passion of characters who -- sacrificed. For playing through the pain for bleeding green for honoring tradition for an amazing ride. For a story Celtic pride and for banner seventeen -- Well let's say it's the same thing levels and different way great balls. I would say is given to. For Garnett against guys play 47000. Minutes in his career. 47000. Minutes and you can you can say that. He barked a little too mine action. That he tried to you know bully smaller guys or are -- bully for whatever Willis. But the fact is. In his late thirties Kevin Garnett still plays like he's in his early twenties. Night after night. Never mailed it and thank you for not being Andrew -- just always hearing always caring and really taking it. Thank you are being an energy guy thing when you're one of the best guys on the -- to another level how all the entire leadership for Kevin Garnett and that's another big part of it in the way he. He turned this team into one cared every day just like he did him a lot of that is encompassed in leadership. The one I would add for Paul Pierce's oil -- your loyalty yeah thank you for being here as long as you were thanks for. Always remembering that it was boss in the draft did you and as -- as he was about every team in the past on them. It was this team that actually picked him he was incredibly loyal to them. Stayed here went through the really lean years and they didn't really put anything around him took a lot of grief and in our reports are from fans and media can always want to -- nobody get. You know he did it I'm saying you know that they that you know -- it's in the stabbing earlier in September 2000 where he's in the hospital for four days. And is out for it in three weeks later is playing in the -- in in in the regular season. So three weeks after being -- Is that wasn't the thing that made him made and say I'm maybe I'm American stand Boston it was losing games. It was it was being a part of a 24 when team and wondering. What his future was he told Jackie McMullen after that season of a classic great player on a bad team and it stinks. Got a lot of criticism for that on the bodies what -- you don't say anatomy -- Oh well who do you think you are you the lack of leadership that he showed in game six. In Indiana and the playoff series or that game he walks off the court takes off his Jersey is wave it around. And they got smoked in game seven here at the garden. He he rebound he rebounded from a lot of those. Those off the court issues where that the whispers that he wasn't all and let them. -- selfless player. And at Yankee if I had Adeline OT representing the city he was a good representative for the city of boss of a thank you for growing up for all. And that's one of the things he did here is he mature you'd never put that in and in an ad thanking him what you're. I think what you mean thank you for growing up they're trying to say but I think he'd get as I ever thought I grow up all thinking body I think they're people that certainly wondered whether or not he would whether he would -- to the point that he did it. And whether or not it was Kevin Garnett who really helped pierce. Grow up along with ray Allen's influence of those guys being around them really help him grow up become the player that ultimately he became in the type leader that he was by the time he left. You know what he grew up on the job you don't he would say who who helped him his life. He was he would say that and he got. That is his wife Juliet think round 20052006. He's got three kids now. It's a different way of looking at the world. And -- having kids makes some people grow up. In other people want and then does that help. It's funny like we were just talking about somebody earlier this week who did not grow up at all. Once he had his case that's obviously Aaron Hernandez -- we talked about. The baby sitter being around with the guns around in the little baby and he and his wife walked in these wave and and and around now that did nothing for him whatsoever and sounds like for Paul Pierce. -- had the opposite actually. You know what here's here's the thing with with pierce and Garnett and I don't know how you how you guys are gonna. Treat them going forward and I think what opposite. I'm sure most people out there will continue to be huge Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett it but how far we've taken because. I don't think the Celtics were going to be very good next year I think to be lucky went forty. Are gonna take it so far -- to root for the Brooklyn nets that your team because KG and Paul Pierce are going to be there. Forty to see them come into the garden given nice ovation notably in a couple of times next year in the same conference. Interstate thank you all for an old. I would be shocked if many people we're gonna start rooting for the work for the Brooklyn nets that really surprised because the -- you Paul I mean if you can hear it does it become your second team. I mean -- your happy for them if you win. Actively rooting for him like actively hoping that they win watching -- turning on a Tuesday night TNT game with -- Brooklyn taken on Washington or whoever it's and I really hope Brooklyn wins this game. I don't know -- I feel like I'd be surprised if that was a common reaction that people. But but the point is with KG and Paul there's no animosity. That their out of town as opposed you'd doc. It's more of a controversial departure. I think with KG and Paul people -- patented they they really had nose in it. Kate came out many times did when I bleed green and the guy green this is where I want it because it was aware. Well over there but whereas whereas dark. Licked -- it decided any I don't wanna be a part of a rebuilding team anymore. The difference seems to be Ray Allen left to chase something else. Doc left to chase something else those guys for trail on the more but more but more doc. Decided to put an end to this thing where is -- Garnett got older and eventually to support the players that they once were I don't think either one of them meeting decision to end their association with the Celtics and end the type of thing that they had going 61777979237. All kinds of subjects on on the table today between the Celtics saying to -- their two great players. Bruins keeping Bergeron Rask in the -- long term. Red Sox continuing to win even come from behind wins that they really needed it to just not have a bad West Coast trip announced turning into what could be a very good west coaster and heading into the brakes a lot going on 6177797937. Marks in Northampton. I'm mark greater that more. It down so I couldn't play there to say it Michael Hartley about how dare you may be afforded when she got fast with Barbara right now. I I know this KG and pierce. Much as anybody left certain numbers are the raptors are our concerns. But her computer industry that it is still a lot of throat. Actually possibilities. Sure. Ron noble spent one has not at all village next season. Knowing you're probably gonna get a -- 3840 weapons the other possibility is or is this if you look at. The pistons like a lot of things could have been -- and throwing Josh Smith and that sort of thing and some things that Joseph Dumars. Very worst all the points hurts our coach. There's so they're going to be more interest -- global and one approach of street there was one don't trade Rondo. To trade horrible for. Stuckey eight million -- expiring contract saw him throw it away for a one year current contract. And Greg Monroe. Four Orlando and joke also contracts -- -- -- -- that contract to get back row. And you have money to work well. In Monroe obviously is to keep current is that senator to try to build around with Charlie American. Trent Green at the line to sort out what would be to keep absorbed from Monroe side. The other thing would be to keep Rondo order Sparky and -- and whose mortgages and so banker. And I would what you can do that I think. Distraught mind right now was green and all that what you're mentioning is that anchor and you know -- shot -- rebounds. -- -- trauma respect our federal heroic Erica. But it really do think that march into change are gonna have a congress changed around -- possible deal. Yeah -- call they've made they've made deals before as a matter of fact if you remember it was. The trade that that the Celtics made with the pistons in 2004 that eventually allowed. The distance to get Rasheed Wallace and and that led to their championship 2004 I just don't think. Detroit would do either of those deals. That the Celtics might be interested because of the expiring contracts. But I don't think Detroit would do it because you don't know what Rondo is gonna do right now -- you're making history. For Rondo and he's going to be there you're guaranteed that -- Rondo is going to be your starting point guard in November. It may take them to the all star break come back and. 60777979837. K and. -- They got a we're doing. -- a lot of talk while Paul Pierce why try and saw the pinnacle. We're back around him like -- grew up to the dispute happened. That's something I haven't heard anybody mention that I thought about watching a retrospective collapse I at the salt the general. The end he is so I want to read you the last player that. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- impression on him that's it that's really what bill assault -- pride in him. That's a great point that Europe's writes the last. The last star player. Who was. So -- or put it this way when red. Peoples that when -- really liked you as a player. Of one of the big compliment you can give Hughes combined with the cigar. And the applicable actually really yes that's complement and compliment that you get legal lash. From firmer at our back that you're okay but. You think about all the players. Who are here recently and even into the that's the biggest backhanded compliment. Well. -- -- our back is allegedly did the fact that he even knows your name and that that should make you feel good put. Read law he liked pierce hit locked -- -- to annals competitive guys. And they understood it and all players understood would Redmond the Celtics. And it read it could understand all the talent that it appears that so yes I think that's great appointment call. Six or 777979837. Campion stone. They got no idea about it. That's what they don't cut Iraq in my brain -- that you mentioned -- net and you mentioned previous. Two of the greatest Celtics of all time I'm just trying to decide. Which player it was the best player in history is gonna rank the top fifty players of all time they assumed they would be is still well. Which -- put ahead of the other. Well -- -- -- your way Garnett when these -- then yeah. Yeah I'm gonna go now that's a that's a very difficult one that's typical when I I would go by I'm biased because -- saw. Here's his entire career on the flip side. I remember watching a game with KG. Had the ten years ago he no longer. They're playing the lakers. Americans smoked early. By 25 down my thirties late second quarter early third quarter. He still playing hard he's playing like it was a playoff game and it wasn't -- -- your your average of mid week. NBA game regular season. And his team wasn't very -- -- and no really no -- of -- and game but he does play hard all the time was one of my favorite guys to watch outside of Boston. Here's you know KG was MVP of the league wants pierce was MVP of the finals. That's a tough one as the really tough one yeah juice yeah I think I might give the edge to. The gimmick of the it appears Danica would do I think I would say about the rank him as as we weren't as Celtics uniform. I think I would go with -- it's a little tougher because Garnett. The big ticket Garnett the guy that played in Minnesota in the early years. Let's I think he was better I mean he was he was a MES something right here in the -- is an incredible player he he had atlantis' some. That was almost unsurpassed sports height and who else even. A young Shawn Camp is the only guy that really comes to mind they can do all of the things that Garnett could do. Facing the -- excess -- all basket a panel hi all the things you rebound the way he could it but the -- I think that showed up here was not that player -- -- -- was a badly he was a great player in his -- -- was not a freakish athlete on the war and exactly what. Italian. KG would make that. 0708 season. He was defensive player of the year -- a year. I could have made the case for him as as being MVP of belief in 070 wait. And the numbers. Don't necessarily say it but it's just 66 -- that team setting the tone defensively. The culture of the team. That the way that he was able to do. Just kind of infuse is dynamic personality and -- Regularly got. It's interesting though in all of his years in Boston he never once hit his career average and point. His career average for points is nineteen point one. Over the stretch of his career in Boston he never averaged more than eighteen point eight the first year and then after that never higher than fifteen point eight yeah it is more than just points it has to absorb and as a leader -- it's everything. But it is interesting how he's he just kind of he was not he wasn't seen. Superstars not to write were he was beyond the superstar when he was in Minnesota you're crazy it was crack easier to watch him play I think -- Celtics uniform. I'll take a pointer to put you know they're different. They're different players to me that's why it's such a tough question to me if you look at KG if you just look at and say well. KG was a better rebounder. By far over the years so you look at that okay here's. Has a higher scoring average. -- -- -- He was more of your score but it wasn't yankees game that was Pierce's game right. I just it's hard to figure by both guys -- -- lot and are probably. Always going to be thought of together best lines Celtics history have you -- the -- career list that's -- both of them are way up there. In in terms of NBA histories from the production of our guys -- -- Angeles Foxboro it's different. Fred unhappy about this Bergeron do you -- this is good news for you. I'm very very happy the first for a get to burn trauma doctor Michael Holley for a second he's so consult with a double for the fifth game. So that he would lose Michael the other reason what brought blocked. Yeah yeah. Yeah -- open. It up. Policy it is not an archaic -- that mean high. I can't believe I can't believe they allow you on a radio -- look like -- remind -- I can't if you said you would answering question right you would trading ruin it. You be OK with the brewers loss in game four in order to have the I lose a game five with a game five I was in our guess they were a total one. They were up 20 in sport and Michael's that he would trade you win that night for the world congress the enormity of that heat from winning the typical things happened. Not terrible. Anyway. The street. And it may strike -- that Wayne -- brat pack carry around Kim -- Re able chart and we -- or not on the list because he's not human. Both that's widely used the term bleed black and gold and -- is just Baghdad. And even if you can't act that six. Video games in the background playing. I hit an angle I can't man -- wouldn't want -- what are you getting what he didn't from the ice cream man I can't I think Alex. Now I'm still in depression. You know let -- I'm let those. Names that. Go down in Bruins history that bleed black and gold and and -- is right -- it I mean just even go to the hospital that sixteenth in the hospital was flat -- Eyes screen and you -- And Fred you can't make call the on demand on on the back I'm like no Lou I know you've got all kinds of Bruins don't worked out I know there's things you want to say argue that ice cream -- gimmick that all the guys screaming going on you are the -- and your digital. I'm pretty big -- can -- your depression we'll talk to you than full line quickly is aligned if you wanna jump Peter six point seven. 77979837. -- Bruins Celtics. Red Sox costs Sox patriots dinner plus we got -- -- -- -- to the Red Sox and rays have given to you next alcohol at W media room. Thank you for being. Diane. It's -- against Carmelo Anthony's really nobody knew the warning them down that street here's what -- -- -- -- against him here it was right. They stand back jackpot it once when he put the go away. And ballplayers. Who had risen to the occasion and it square garden that that day he first walked on this floor just did it again. If you burdens of our warts and all of that that's the. I -- Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett trade becomes official Celtics taking out a very nice ad in the Boston Globe book. To say goodbye to them and thanked them for all the things they did here in Boston asking you a series of questions and one of them is. What would you add to that loyalty is a word that I think I would especially -- Paul Pierce. Michael I'd love to eat your take on Garnett it's thank you for not being Andrew Bynum -- thank you for. Airing thank you for showing up every day and treating basketball and every single game is if it's a playoff game all the that deserves legit and practices well that -- deserves your attention. He got he got your money's worth with Kevin Garnett too great if you you know go to see him play and you never set yourself. Garnett got into tonight at times didn't play well I'm not making it eighteen footer. And you could tell. Pretty much -- -- it was going to be on or off form and he makes that. That is 1718 feet from the basket area -- and -- -- -- that you start out and just like Coca eureka. He's feeling it tonight when he was off and shot was off the acute view full effort defensively. If that wasn't working form and that was very rare and wanted to best defensive players currently. Over over the last decade and a half. It wasn't working form. At least we've got -- of -- -- teammates but that the reason that question as the caller. -- fifteen minutes ago and that demons ago where it was about a player. OK now I think about it just mentioned Casey's defense. The government needs bring him back of the KG society because defense. It was an elite defensive player for more than a decade. Want them if you look at the amount of time -- the first and second team all defense system reputations and guys on there because of reputation. It was a legit. For a long time. And and -- Here's at his position. -- that did not defend his position like -- defended it. So I if that I had them. And that that may be a -- ivory is that it's a great question they both needed each other when it into the -- not a guy was capable of just saying. Okay I'm gonna will this team which shipped -- they both. Needed help from the other guy or from other yeah. Around three in the new victory came all of them needed to America's all of them where -- had been on lottery team to voice tickets here free -- Friday and WEEI can be the ninth caller right now contest at line 617.

Now what happened with the patriots just in the last couple of days and that's -- frank and Somerset where that tree once to go like frank. -- -- But I'm doing guys -- Mike and Mike. I don't I don't have popular although the patriot install and it just like. I tore my luck I look at my -- a lot of jobs or these cartoons. That like in bill we. -- -- I mean we've got such great run for what twelve years now. What is now. I want you look at the professional athlete -- -- do they have the potential. To be like it. Do most of the potential to most of the athletes know most of them don't. Some do -- potential to parents of I I don't worry I don't know what the potential means they did you hear some of the most amount potentially Aaron Hernandez. Now some good but most of the now most of them do not micro. Do you both think more. This way let's say it this way Eric Hernandez. I don't think like most. I don't let that is asking is frankly I think most athletes. Have the potential to. Commit murder. I'll probably -- Why not -- our society because if you look at the video games if you look at -- you. If he can watch when it or not bad but decided I was brought up in an option I -- yeah. You -- come the you only know we Urals and yeah and that they has only just like you see what's going on and it just like. But sick the society has a lot to do with it. I don't -- I don't think I don't think society has anything to do with -- -- A guy. Who would kill somebody. I mean I wouldn't let bull put it this way it wouldn't blame the video game. And wouldn't blame music. For someone who is. A murderer potential. -- Now there's a there's going to be something in the -- of your players to do there there are a lot of nothing to do in the other powerful factors are more powerful than. Music more powerful than a video game. Charleston is in Boston I Charleston. Our guys picks pick back -- course. I don't I -- -- debate about Democrat -- -- all yours and while I love all fears. I hope it's gonna do you agree maybe top sixty player all Kevin Garnett probably not -- I don't. That close. He can't like -- we would bowl players. Did not have great towns around. This sort of was originally a first round playoff. With all purist and happening around them they were they still -- So. -- what -- about both that's not true. I think both. Both teams had. Ups and downs with those guys as the as the primaries or as the leader of the team live report before Kevin Garnett came to the Celtics. Lottery team. There are lottery team with Kevin Garnett he played what now for the year played you know 76 games or whatever was -- Minnesota. And -- in a lot of -- there -- -- lottery just like the Celtics -- just like the Sonics where when -- was there's so. Like ray Allen's you know pretty that's what you got Saturday night. Does it -- both guys even if you look at. He can't just say even when KG wasn't surrounded with great talent -- teams always one that's not the case they want to get their conference finals one year. What he had some help in the Celtics got to Eastern Conference finals and Paul. -- the year before you mentioned the year that he was traded the year before that they were 33 and 49 in Minnesota mean both guys went through their share of of having some bad teams that didn't can win a lot of games. Think it's a -- I think it is close and I think most people have outside of Boston columnist this most of us out of Boston were we give the edge to KG. I think if you're looking at at their entirety of their career you almost have to I think what KG accomplish before he came to Boston. Was more impressive than what here's accomplished before KG -- -- That makes cents. Okay all right here look at our world war made -- there KG had a better career than all -- did there's nobody. In their right mind I don't think who before that trade if you'd sit and who do you want your team Kevin -- are all -- and I think they're too many people up point two would have said Paul -- over Kevin Garnett is underrated in the property -- -- but Kevin Garnett was really good but so is -- -- you know is is starting -- it was created and it's a keeps it it is a difficult conversation to have. Not just because pierce was a Cabrera Celtic is because they play different positions. So. The things that put it this way it would be difficult for those guys. To do what the other guy does the best and only very difficult to -- to Kevin Garnett AK AG -- -- -- -- here. And in game seven. -- the cavaliers the conference semi finals. I need you to match LeBron point for point. This is the kind of game is going to be. And you're gonna have to score 41 like yours did and the bronze or forty you could do -- condone it are put aside and say -- I need to hold out a game we -- eighteen rebounds. Eighteen rebounds and five or six assists is going to be that kind of game at all lock somebody down. I don't think it to consider it but we know icky icky stuff he's got the rebound in the KG isn't KG set the score appears let's go to nick himself Natalie -- -- I don't but I. I was the last couple weeks to pitch got through -- but I work also. To the propaganda machine and they'll act out our -- copy here. But -- the I have -- -- don't get jacked up. If I mean do you may have to take your body what does that what are those conversations on nick can you take it out of there are thirty dollars initiative giants fans probably just quiet how that's -- Pretty much like you know -- back. Well I guess so -- so where did Obama do but it or. I mean. I didn't know what this should -- got to tune it out. That's why he continues doing your arm or you have to come back. You don't have any comebacks and -- -- at least picturesque as the program -- models -- I don't know what about the long before now they've not been happening there. You can try to -- -- Laredo burst -- great and oh yeah now you know and he took them away from us -- I would recommend getting a new job that's used to be the only thing you -- do at this point is just find a new job with you were giants fan or just frame the giants fans and friends numbering them and then him. Make sure they get fired does have them do something stupid let's try -- Red Sox caught him in -- hike him. They it's cynical or -- that -- -- -- -- obligation Barrett to expand for years. Just watching him play the game at catcher you know humans are sort fifty inch -- it was so great Washington. Call the game they like what you guys is how much of an impact you think Jarrod Saltalamacchia and the recent success -- oxygen. I don't think he's been given a lot of that credit whether he deserves it or not I don't know I mean I haven't heard a ton of people. Refer to him as being a great defensive catcher I mean we've sort of beat this around a little bit that it's not really his specialties that he's not a great receiver. I don't know what kinda game because I think -- question we could we could find a little bit more on the but I think the the the reason he's not getting. Any of that credit is because of who the go to the manager has. The managers the former pitching coach that everybody in this town has always had so much respect for because of the way he helped develop some of these young pitchers -- at least until recently were having all kinds of success Buchholz and Lester specifically so. -- well I I. I don't know that salty is is is deserving of the same kind of raise the Jason Varitek got on the other hand by the I think all they're texting was a little overrated. Overblown it must have been maybe if we're if we're saying Saltalamacchia is not a great receiver -- called a great game yet they're pitching has been pretty good. Throughout the season. -- where to go to. He's getting he's getting similar results. Jason Varitek got. When we were given them all the credit for being one of the top defensive catchers in the game. I'll tell you what he's having a career year offensively and you look at his numbers and what he's done it he's essentially ahead of his average and everything I mean he's a career. 243 hitter he's written 272. He used he gets on base the real weight -- -- 344. His slugging percentage is up forty point 42446. Before making is open ES up from 732808. BC good off and you're gonna have no PS of over 800. You're a good offensive player. To do that as a catcher and at the very least provide. Not bad defense and not -- calling the -- isn't he hasn't added any of those things. He definitely deserves a larger amount of the credit for what the Red Sox have done this year that I think most people have given to him so. For myself when Clinton Jason knowing that the caller mentioned Jason Varitek -- Jason Varitek. Last week it was Illinois. -- -- Varitek on the I was important to line. It was important that they're -- Thursday so they play some character they played the Padres that -- author of the Padres. And he was at a restaurant and you're more square. They seafood place but he's still studying the scouting reports -- -- -- like did you not playing -- more of a -- at the scouting reports at this island does. Pilot and -- Oh by actor and a great seafood place right I can see it in my head care but I care from the name of it. Let there on the corner where greatly -- our Jason Varitek. And it was funny the place was -- And an eagle in there -- -- and and you ask okay how long has it for a -- bird you know two people. Maybe an hour and a half two hours. I saw a well meaning well intentioned young woman there. Who just couldn't believe. She'd been waiting here for two hours. But Jason Varitek walked in and got. Does she immediately she says that while she did actually believe you -- I -- -- -- to attack.

You gotta go with the guy who doesn't pay. Or you gonna go at that nice basic customer who's actually been there for the B.

Say watch a team that would lose eighteen straight games after -- -- just showing up when he was good but -- a lot of things. And anonymity is too strong because Celtics fans have seen it all put. A lot of a lot of the casual fans didn't see him when it would it was a great things -- bad team. It's more of a conversation and people are are. Are given credit -- -- that this year's verses. KG who's had a better career they're both going to the hall of fame they both deserve to go to hall of fame both incredible. And Paul Pierce's. It wasn't really a dynamic player he's not anymore.

But I have to say in in a rebuilding year with this scenario the situation being what it is weird piercing -- being shipped out of town to help us. Rebuild. I will definitely. Be rooting for Brooklyn to win the championship dirtier there's no doubt about it I don't think they can do it I don't think they have -- -- to get our Miami. But I'll definitely be watching. You know I've never had a our second favorite team in the league. All the years of soldiers and the Celtics aren't watched playoffs group or somebody maybe I'll definitely be -- Certain acts -- your last 2 o'clock this seat skiers. Get another -- about the situation at the same target in ball real well I democracy and get those crops because. It over to the other side of the -- these guys are talking about. You're absolutely right -- Ali it's very close between KG and pierce but you nailed it on it's good defense. It's defense it's an all around game it's like Carmelo Anthony. Is doing what he could be -- but it doesn't play defense and that's what separates that your peers and -- AG. Really -- shoulders -- Paul -- because Paul never. Played defense and so -- game the Boston and all the sudden these you know abroad and where to dot com. -- that there are no way. Everybody knows the the other thing we were talking earlier about the tribute. At the Celtics -- -- four KG in tears in thanking them for all these things. Well the Brooklyn nets should think KG and pierce right now you know what those guys gave them. A soul. That gave us all is. That was the blows this whole list. Basketball team the team second considered at double contender it was a look at the top fourteen in the east. They had -- soul had no identity. In play with passion. And they got they got it -- in Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett now both those guys. In my opinion I think. If you've played I am 25. To thirty minute I think they have to be under thirty minute guys during the regular season and you pick it up in the post season. But they both average about 28 point five -- even when he eight point seven. During the regular season at a pretty good for -- So looking through some of attacks that came in on exactly what you can do to get seated right away what what it's worth people seem to think it tells a hundred dollars -- -- yeah I -- a hundred dollar a barrel to do just about anything anywhere although this one guy says gave the guy at my -- on those. Twenty dollars and was able to be seated right away sixty dollars a few weeks earlier for party of ten team worked there to -- -- -- of I often went into an outback of all places this guy says 45 minute wait -- -- in this story I went to an outback of all places 45 minute wait. Mean in my friend offered 200 dollars to be seated immediately girl says put your money away away. Like everyone else. Really. You -- 200 dollars. I like it to the girl that -- package she told you to -- us now wait like everyone -- I like I like it I just don't believe that that occur you don't think so I don't believe the story of people out. -- don't like it was the show was to show your bosses. Not an undercover boss. Don't know if you've been shot up. Can't do that -- -- the shuttle is a legal problem at maybe they had a whole. And a whole seminar on -- only did -- take -- is coming up from from Sydney Australia to go to the outback in Burlington and make sure that that this woman isn't giving -- -- seats for 200 bucks or you don't think they have regional -- -- -- -- -- -- there's nobody getting -- -- -- -- basically -- -- -- They're all in Australia the wild wild west for outback steak I don't know here in the United States today like. I have outback in Australia -- lakers' I'll sit down. Sit down I don't care who you don't want your money -- do you think there even have outback steak houses and Australia they loudly here in the middle laugh at them until they're not even there either to their only here in the United States they don't even have a single one point.

Cheriene Marchus, a write-in candidate for this year's District 2 county commissioner race, resigned from her job as administrative assistant for Routt County last week.
Marchus, who had been on authorized leave since the end of August, turned in her resignation Dec. 1, the day that her authorized leave ran out, County Manager Tom Sullivan said.
Marchus could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Sullivan said he could not discuss the terms of Marchus' authorized leave, as it was a personnel issue. Different types of leaves can be issued to employees under different circumstances, he said.
Marchus worked as a secretary and receptionist in the county commissioners office. While she was on authorized leave, other county employees from a variety of offices filled in, Sullivan said.
Now that Marchus has resigned, county officials are looking to fill her position permanently. They are advertising for a receptionist and secretary who has a high school diploma or general educational development certificate, and one to three years of experience or a combination of education and training, Personnel Director Chris Hensen said. The entry level pay for the job is $11.91 an hour.
In the meantime, the county will continue to use other staff to fill the position.

December 16, 2013 – Since opening its Tampa Bay campus in May of 2012, the Thomas M. Cooley Law School has been expanding its curriculum and faculty during each new term as part of a scheduled, three year roll out of its educational program.

A Free Mind
The Good Wife
The seemingly endless days of high Texas temperatures have sapped my interest in talking about books. I'd recommend a movie but brainless summer movies like Transformers 3 or Zookeeper sap my energy even more.
What is a free mind that loves good stories to do? Turn to television, of course!
Allow me to recommend "The Good Wife," an addictive pleasure worth a lazy summer's evening. Part legal drama, part political commentary, and part soap opera, "The Good Wife" is intelligent, brilliantly nuanced, riveting entertainment. This show doesn't veer away from discussing faith and true human nature in authentic terms.
It is the story of Alicia Florrick, whose politico husband was jailed following a public sex and corruption scandal. She is the "good wife" who stands by her man, at least in public. To support her family, Alicia—who had abandoned her career to support her husband's and raise their two children—returns to her job as a litigator.
Alicia navigates the legal firm's internal politics while balancing her new role as an essentially single mother of teenagers. This is complicated by the fact that Alicia is never allowed to be a private citizen; political and press interests in her husband continually pop up to skew perceptions.
The cases Alicia represents are "ripped from the headlines" stories, and they often act as a foil against the personal problems Alicia faces. That is not always the case, but the stories are always smart and intricate, often taking unexpected turns. The lawyers often don't know if their clients are innocent and occasionally, as in real life, there is shock and disappointment over the resolutions.
The series was partly inspired by the Eliot Spitzer prostitution story and other political scandals. Set in Chicago—American-ese for "crooked politics"—the series also illustrates the continual wheeling and dealing present not only in our legal system but also in our political system.
All this would be pretty dry, of course, if we didn't care about the cases and about the characters' lives. They have a depth and completeness that is not often found on television. This is where "The Good Wife" shines. When her husband, Peter, consented to counseling by a preacher, Alicia caught a glimpse of them praying together and was amazed. So were we. The show goes to the trouble of turning Peter's cynical search for African-American political support (at a church, of course) into an encounter with Pastor Isaiah, who was not willing to just give lip service to his calling. Surprisingly, Peter admits to needing something more in his life, and the viewer was treated to some fascinating and authentic-seeming encounters.
Alicia: Are you becoming religious?
Peter: I don't know. I don't know what I'm becoming. But I want to change.
Alicia: Oh.
Peter: No. Really . . . change.
Later in the series, the Florricks' teenage daughter Grace begins searching for meaning via internet religious sites. Her embarrassingly Christian friend (who calls out things like, "Jesus died for your sins" at inappropriate chance encounters with celebrities) prays fervently for a man on death row. Grace watches with fascination and by the end of the day—much to her grandmother's horror—she also has begun praying.
Julie Davis blogs about it at Happy Catholic and discusses both books and movies at A Good Story is Hard to Find podcast. Her new book is Happy Catholic, published by Servant Publishing. Follow Julie on Twitter and Facebook
Davis' column, "A Free Mind," is published every other Thursday on the Catholic portal. Subscribe via email or RSS.

We really enjoyed staying in Marieke's flat and she made us feel very welcome. The flat is 'bright and comfy' and the location is safe and quite. We travelled into the centre by bus which was easy, but we also walked. Great Thai resturant around the corner and we loved the local brewery and bar by the windmill, both recommended by Marieke. Thanks for our successful first visit to Amsterdam.
Wonderful stay! Nice and quite apartment. Everything was made perfect for us. Thanks to Marieke. If you want to stay central but calm is this the best place. Rent a bike and you will reach any place in Amsterdam very easy.
It was clean and everything was fine. I has a lot of fun there. Marieke was really friendy.we enjoyed the holiday..thank you marieke and you wimbdu...
Very warm and nice small flat, accomodation with all you need. The housekeeper is very friendly and helping you out. I would book it again!
Very nice flat with shopping around the corner.
Very near Central station!
PERFECT, highly recomended! I love it!
We had a pleasant stay at the apartment by Marieke. Marieke was very friendly, helpful and uncomplicated. The apartment has a lot of charme, decorated individually, you just have to like. The location of the apartment is perfect, very quiet and only 15 minutes walk from Centrum. Thank you Marieke!
Very nice place, the supermarket was just around the corner. Very quite area, but enought close to the center...
Hope to come again!
Marieke's home is really cosy, comfortable, well-lighted and very silent during the day and the night. It has a garden and is well furnished. It is conveniently located. Marieke was very nice and we would love to stay at her place again in the future.
The flat is simple but equipped with everything we needed. The location is not far from the city centre but quiet. Very good communication and handling with lovely marieke
We enjoyed our stay in Marieke's apartment very much. The apartment was clean, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all the essentials. From the apartment the walk to Dam square was about 30 minutes which was fine for us. We missed meeting Marieke (the key was delivered to us by a friend) but she responded very quickly to all emails and answered all of our questions. I recommend this apartment.

Going for it on Opening Day
Saturday was Opening Day for the San Ramon Valley Little League, and the fields at Los Cerros Middle School were swarming with hundreds and hundreds of players, some 50 teams with ages 6 to 13. As teams were introduced, they ran out onto the field. The first pitch was tossed out by George Olson, founder of SRVLL more than 50 years ago.

Sprayview Sticks and Stones
By Environmental Reporter Bernard Blum
Well jumping Beelzebub, as if it were the Egyptian Fly Deity Idol, that the Almighty turned into a plague (one of the plagues of Egypt in the Passover Holy Festival. For how to explain the omissions in the Irregular column on Dubos Point (aka Mosquito Point – the mosquito a form of fly)?
The city has acted as if worshipper of this Idol and farmed mosquitoes and performing 'as ritual' to this pagan deity the substitution of a Community Board 14 linked topsoil and living vegetation strip-mining program (called Mosquito-Weed) for much needed opening up blocked creeks there! So the Dubos wetlands preserve has been managed as a mosquito-ridden swamp to irritate both physically and emotionally. Beelzebub can't have wetlands so friendly when the flies the thing…"Love thy neighbor as thyself" tossed out.
I bumped into former Parks Commissioner Henry Stern recently and he still recalled this "Correspondent" indicating that the last day to apply for Pataki Bond Act Funds to open up the creeks was 11/9 the reverse of 9/11, the WTC disaster. Neither Governor Pataki, nor Mayor Giuliani, nor any number of agencies would stop this awful 'ritual' substitution that only serves Beelzebub, as it were! So Dubos Point at B. 63 and DeCosta Avenue in Arverne is an 'outdoors shrine' to Beelzebub for breeding progeny with neighborhood residents serving as liquid nutrition (blood). Ah such evil genius!
And Beelzebub's progeny, as it were, has been swarmed to promote a considerable amount of HUD funded lot clearing, the funding administered under the Consolidated Plan of HUD Grants by the Department of City Planning and the Office of Management and Budget. If these agency administrators don't know where the Sanitation Department strip miners took all the missing topsoil to (contrary to the grant instruction)….must be Beelzebub!
For Beelzebub, as it were, really must have such a strong attachment to Dubos and all the issues and mysteries surrounding its mosquito farm management. For nowhere else in the New York/New Jersey Harbor Program (to protect water quality and habitat as well as for dredge spoils disposal, Friends of Rockaway, Inc., a participant) have carbon dioxide baited mosquito traps been substituted as well for opening up creeks to reduce mosquito breeding standing water! Restoration of tidal flow eliminates the tall Phragmites reed grass for true wetlands grasses to thrive. So wetlands restoration is achieved AND ITS NEEDED At Dubos where the reed grass is spreading. So more standing water for Beelzebub to breed more progeny has taken precedence (no matter what other management with chemicals, fungi, etc. taking place).
On another omission had the Irregular asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for information and the Parks Department, information would have been provided on scheduled creek opening for restoration linked mosquito control in some indefinite future of 2004/5?/6?/7?……if ever….
So Dubos was never proposed by Friends of Rockaway, Inc. to promote landscape strip mining nor carbon dioxide mosquito trap installations, though Beelzebub as it were has managed it for such.
If the Irregular feels that a supernatural Beelzebub is an unproven cause he might sit down with Sprayview and Eugenia Flatow of the Bight and Task Force and New York City Soil and Water Conservation District to unlock the mysteries to unblock the creeks.
She would not permit me to present at the Task Force and at the Conservation District on all these issues that keep Beelzebub's fly progeny (the mosquito swarms at Dubos) such a signpost of this presence of the supernatural…….
And one more 'spin issue'…..this need to cleanup Dubos with bulldozers because of all the garbage is not true…..needed are light pressure wheel bulldozers to open up the creeks……the Encon cited the Parks Department for tidal wetlands regulations violations that could only happen in Beelzebub's "Shrine of Flies!"
So enough of spins….of course if Runway 22R/4L onto Joco Marsh is ever extended over the marsh and further into the bay in expanded Airport operations plans then the preserve birds will be more of a hazard than the mosquito progeny. So maybe the creek opening resistance is not just Beelzebub ploy but a message on runway extension plans associated with expanded operations…..
First suffocate the Laughing Gull chicks in the eggs with oil, or shoot 'em up or blame others for eating marsh grass……then extend the runway….
Actually it's not neighborly and it's cruel to serve Beelzebub so well, as it were. Dr. Dubos helped stop any further extension of Runway 22 R/4L or any other airport runway intrusions into the bay ecosystem and had a more 'spiritual attitude' towards management of ecosystems.
Much success on the Irregular column..……..The Editor and The Irregular may wish to confer on government operations at Dubos with Sprayview whenever useful…..or Smithsonian magazine, Jully 1990, p. 110 on Dubos would be a start….

Series of Shocks
"Indeed you have."
This man... Boy who was sat behind the desk could have been no more than 26 years old. He had soft curled hair, a shiny blonde. His milky brown eyes shone like thick chocolate and he seemed to be well toned. A girl slouched back on her hands sort of lay on the desk. She had sleek winter brown hair to her mid-back and she was wearing a fluffy angora jumper and black trousers. Clunky high heels hung off her feet, but with a second look... no way... They were from DKNY! No way!
"Where is the... owner of this place?"
"I am." The blonde beauty smiled translucently.
"Okkkayy. I'm new. What do I do?"
"Ahh Rebbeca."
He used his buzzer machine.
"Eleanor? Could you come to my office?"
A soft voice crackled back.
"Sure thing Chief."
I puzzled over Chief.
"An affectionate title. You can call me Will or whatever. No Sir.. Euughh to Formal, I prefer a sort of casual tone. So your loss? I'm so sorry about the tragedy you are facing.If theres anything i can do...?"
But at that moment a girl who must have been Eleanor strolled through the door. I thought she would be a geeky frump in a swayed skirt and blouse. But Christ Alive no. She wore a red vest top and biker jacket with studs. Her mini skirt just streched over her bum and her six inches looked excruitiating but she chewed her gum and strolled in her shoes like she had been since she was two.
"Bex? Can I call you Bex?"
My mum used to call me that.
"Sure" I said in an inaudible whisper.
"Bex, this is your new buddy."

The part of the book is about George, the guy indy
mentioned, he was a welder who worked on potc, he apparently died while working
on it, there are different stories on how he died, one version says he was
working on the top tower in the middle of the ride's fire scene and fell four
stories to his death, nnother story tells George getting killed from a beam
falling on his head. So now every morning and every night the cast members say
good night and good morning to George, if they don't bad things are supposed to
happen, then theres different stories
about "George's tower" , in the burning
city room, there is a tall tower in to the right/center, one version of the
story says If you see a light burning inside the tower, then George is present
and watching over you, another version of the story says \that if the light is on, the ride is about to
break down. CMs have also felt George's presence, things have happened to them
like hearing foot steps behind them when no one is there. This part of my book also talks about weird things that have happend in other parks like AK, and other places around MK. Sorry for the long comment
just wanted to share what I know about George.
