"Yeah everything. Well, maybe not everything..."
"I'm joking! I'll tell you everything, but somethings are going to have to be secret, like what I'm getting you for your birthday next month."
"That is soooo unfair!!"
"Life is." I grinned at her and watched her pout. "Anyway Miss Journalist, should you be on this set?"
"I'm here on a non official quality. But if you have any juicy news...?"
"Nope sorry. This is the first day of proper shooting hon, I don't have anything yet. Come on, let's get you an italian."
"Yey!!" she said, skipping along with me.
"Woah, wait a sec, I've just got to go and sign out."
"Hurry up!!!"
"Alright, jeez, what's got you so excited? New waitress at the restraunt?" Annie blushed. "Aha!! So that's it!"
"No! Why do I have to have a reason?"
"You don't. I just love to wind you up." She pushed me playfully.
"Alright, just get on with it already."
"I went to the security guard. "I'll be back in about an hour. If they need me before then, Dave has my number."
"Thank you Miss Alexandria" he said looking at my pass. I grabbed Annie and pulled her over to my car.
"To the italian!!!!"

Astros defeat Oakland A's in 6-0 win
Joe Musgrove bounced back after two horrible outings, and the Houston Astros' offense did the rest Monday night.
Jose Altuve homered, Musgrove and three relievers combined on a four-hitter and the Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 6-0.
Musgrove (2-2) struck out seven, walked three and allowed three hits over 5 1/3 innings, and then Luke Gregerson, Pat Neshek and Brad Peacock closed things out.
Musgrove had allowed 13 runs over his last two starts.
"I have to be the guy who goes as hard as he can as long as he can," Musgrove said. "The last couple outings I found myself trying to pace myself trying to get to the seventh. I did a lot of work this week making mechanical adjustments and told myself to go out there and give it everything you have as long as you can and let the bullpen take over from there."
Musgrove retired 11 of the first 13 batters before Khris Davis singled with two outs in the fourth for the first hit against him.
"I thought he did a good job especially the fifth," Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. "He came out really aggressive which is an adjustment for him to match quantity of strikes with quality. He wasn't going to leave anything in the tank and he was going to go as hard as he could as long as he could."
Houston closed within two games of the second AL wild card with the win and Baltimore's loss.
A's starter Sean Manaea (5-9) left after 3 1/3 innings with a left rhomboid strain. Manaea fielded a comebacker from Yulieski Gurriel to start the fourth, then threw one pitch to Marwin Gonzalez before manager Bob Melvin and the trainer headed to the mound. The left-hander was replaced by Chris Smith.
Manaea said he was uncertain if he would miss his next start. He is listed as day-to-day.
"Just frustrating from where I'm at," Manaea said. "Already been on the DL once and to me it just feels like I'm letting everyone down. I hate being hurt and just getting taken out early, especially with a close game like that just bothered me. It is what it is, I just have to make sure going forward I get everything done and try not to have this problem again."
Altuve hit his second homer in two games to lead off the sixth and extend Houston's lead to 3-0. Alex Bregman hit a two-run single and Carlos Correa had an RBI single as part of a three-run seventh.
"We got extra opportunities in the second, obviously got the two runs on a couple errors and a couple walks but Altuve's homer obviously was a big tack-on run," Hinch said. "The three-run inning where Bregman breaks it open is what good offenses do when you get the opportunity."
Manaea allowed two unearned runs and one hit with four strikeouts.
Marcus Semien had two of Oakland's hits.

Baker & McKenzie is making efforts to deepen its relationships with African firms, last week hosting a meeting for 25 local firms from across the continent in London.
Representatives from 13 countries attended Baker & McKenzie's inaugural African Relationship Law Firm Conference last week (21/22 November), including lawyers from countries such as Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda.
Baker & McKenzie Europe, Middle East and Africa chair Koen Vanhaerents said the conference was designed to build closer links between Baker & McKenzie and its relationship firms across the continent.
"We've been working with a lot of law firms in Africa, but to be able to deliver on client demand we wanted to build closer relationships with these firms," Vanhaerents said.
He said the key focus for the conference was for both the African firms and those Baker & McKenzie partners working in Africa to understand each other's needs better, as well as improve their understanding of what clients wanted from the region. Issues such as pricing models and regulatory issues specific to certain jurisdictions were among the topics on the agenda.
Vanhaerents added that the African firms had been consulted over what they wanted from the conference and the relationship with Baker & McKenzie, and the message was that they wanted to be involved in building the client relationships as part of a team, "rather than us imposing what we want to do".
Baker & McKenzie currently has three of its own offices on the ground in Africa. It has been present in Cairo for a long time, and last year added Casablanca (25 July 2012) and Johannesburg (29 May 2012) to its office list.

Steve Vai - Revolution Live, Fort Lauderdale - August 16
David Von Bader
impending South Florida performance -- the kickoff show of his tour -- he said that we were "in for some surprises." Last night, Vai performed to a beyond-packed house at Revolution Live and showed the massive crowd that (mostly) instrumental guitar music can be extremely enthralling and exciting live.
The Voice finalist Beverly McClellan was Vai's opening act. McClellan is also the source of the immense-sounding lead vocal on the first single from Vai's newest release, The Story of Light. The singer performed a set of her own songs, accompanying her wonderfully soulful vocals only with the strumming of an acoustic guitar or a few chords on a keyboard. Unfortunately, McClellan's set fell prey to the noise of a capacity crowd settling in and fueling up on adult beverages. The applause between songs, though, made it clear that those paying attention truly appreciated her efforts.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and local officials broke ground on the Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) new Cermak Green Line station, a $50 million construction project that will energize the area around McCormick Place and provide a crucial additional transportation option for the Near South Side.
The $50 million station is part of $92 million in overall transportation investments, including the rehabilitation of the Roosevelt and Harrison stations on the Red Line and the 18th Street Connector, which will significantly revitalize the near south side of the city.
The 18th Street Connector, which carries Orange Lines trains to and from the Loop, is undergoing $25 million in renovations, while the Harrison street station ($10 million) and Roosevelt Road ($7 million) are also being improved, to bring to a total of $92 million in new investment to the area. Billions of dollars are currently being put toward transit improvements throughout Chicago, which will reshape the infrastructure of the city for decades to come.
The future Green Line station at Cermak will be the first station at that location since 1977. This new station fills in a major gap in CTA service that has existed at McCormick Place since the station was demolished. It is part of $4 billion in investments ongoing in the CTA system alone.
The Cermak station will be the 146th CTA station. The construction project is being managed by the Chicago Department of Transportation and is expected to be completed by the end of 2014. The station will be located near the intersection of Cermak Avenue and State Street and directly west of the McCormick Place convention center.
The new station will be located in the two-mile stretch between the existing Roosevelt and 35th-Bronzeville-IIT Green Line stations and will provide much needed access to rapid transit for neighborhood residents and businesses, including McCormick Place.
The Cermak-McCormick station, which is financed with $50 million in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds, will include three entrance points – one on each side of Cermak Road and one at 23rd Street. The main station building will be built on the north side of Cermak road, equipped with modern amenities such as elevators, bike racks, state-of-the-art security and enclosed boarding platforms.
Respondents around the globe chose "driving their own car" over other modes of transport for reasons including comfort (54%), ease of access (47%), and reliability (39%).
Mike James spent the last four-and-a-half years planning and managing rail and transit corridors in Seattle, which included street car operations and seven new BRT corridors.
Applications can be submitted either by the operation or the solutions provider and will be judged by our BusCon Advisory Board, with winners and shortlisted submissions recognized at BusCon's Award Breakfast on Wednesday, Sept. 13.
The new facility will replace an outdated and deteriorating bus garage located on a three-acre site that was originally built in the 1970's for a much smaller fleet.
New York City comes in it at No. 4 at a cost of approximately $120 per month, with Chicago and San Francisco at $102.10 and $86.10 per month, respectively.

The Palestinian president returned triumphantly to the West Bank, receiving a boisterous welcome from thousands of cheering supporters at a rally celebrating his people's new acceptance to the United Nations.
An Israeli decision to cut off a cash transfer to the financially troubled Palestinian Authority, following an earlier decision to build thousands of new homes in Jewish settlements, failed to put a damper on the celebrations.
But Palestinian officials acknowledged they were undecided on what to do with their newfound status, and were waiting for upcoming Israeli elections and new ideas from President Barack Obama before deciding how to proceed.
Outside the headquarters of President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, some 5,000 people thronged a square, hoisted Palestinian flags and cheered their leader's return from New York.
Large posters of the Palestinian leader, whose popularity had plummeted in recent months, adorned nearby buildings.
"We now have a state," Abbas said to wild applause. "The world has said loudly, 'Yes to the state of Palestine.'"
The United Nations General Assembly last week overwhelmingly endorsed an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories Israel captured in the 1967 war.
Netanyahu brushes off world condemnation
Isreal's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu overnight brushed off world condemnation of Israel's plans to expand Jewish settlements.
"We will carry on building in Jerusalem and in all the places that are on the map of Israel's strategic interests," a defiant Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting.
In another blow to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, Israel announced it was withholding Palestinian tax revenues this month worth about US$100 million (NZ$121m).
Israel said the reason for the move was a Palestinian debt of US$200 million to the Israeli Electric Corporation, an obligation that has existed for some time.
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz cautioned last month that if the Palestinians went ahead with the UN bid Israel would "not collect taxes for them and we will not transfer their revenues".
Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior Palestinian official, said confiscation of the tax funds due the cash-strapped Authority, vital to meeting its payroll, was "piracy and theft".
Stung by the UN General Assembly's upgrading of the Palestinians' status from "observer entity" to "non-member state", Israel said on Friday it would build 3000 more settler homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, areas Palestinians want for a future state, along with Gaza.
An Israeli official said the government also ordered "preliminary zoning and planning work" for thousands of housing units in areas including the so-called "E1" zone near Jerusalem.
Such construction could divide the West Bank in two and further dim Palestinian hopes, backed by the United States and other international sponsors of the Middle East peace process, for a contiguous country.
But Israeli officials said it could up to two years before any building begins in E1.
At the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said the "unilateral step the Palestinians took at the UN is a gross violation of previous agreements signed with Israel". The government of Israel, he added, "rejects the General Assembly's vote".
The upgrade, approved overwhelmingly, fell short of full UN membership, which only the Security Council can grant. But it has significant legal implications because it could allow the Palestinians access to the International Criminal Court where they could file complaints against Israel.
Israel's settlement plans, widely seen as retaliation for the Palestinians' UN bid, have drawn strong international condemnation from the United States, France, Britain and the European Union.
"The recognition of Palestine as a state changes a lot of the facts, and aims to establish new ones," Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told a cheering crowd in the West Bank city of Ramallah on his return from the United States.
"But we have to recognise that our victory provoked the powers of settlement, war and occupation."
Netanyahu heads a pro-settler government and opinion polls predict his Likud party will come out on top in Israel's January 22 parliamentary election, despite opponents' allegations that his policies have deepened Israeli diplomatic isolation.
"All settlement construction is illegal under international law and constitutes an obstacle to peace," the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a statement on Sunday.
The United States said the plan was counterproductive to any resumption of direct peace talks, stalled for two years in a dispute over settlement expansion in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, both captured by Israel in a 1967 war.
Netanyahu says Israel, as a Jewish state, has a historic claim to land in the West Bank and to all of Jerusalem. Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state. Israel considers all of the holy city as its capital, a claim that is not recognised internationally.
Israeli Housing Minister Ariel Attias said that within weeks the government would publish invitations for bids from contractors to build 1,000 homes in East Jerusalem and more than 1,000 in West Bank settlement blocs.
"E1 is in planning, which means sketches on paper," Attias told Army Radio. "No one will build until it is clear what will be done there."
The E1 zone is considered especially sensitive. Israel froze much of its activities in E1 under pressure from former US President George W Bush and the area has been under the scrutiny of his successor Barack Obama.
Benny Kashriel, mayor of the Maale Adumim settlement adjacent to E1, told Army Radio building "will take a year or two".
Yariv Oppenheimer, head of the Israeli anti-settlement group Peace Now said: "If we build in E1 the two-state vision will truly be history ... it is a strategic point that if built, will prevent the Palestinians from having a normal state."
Approximately 500,000 Israelis and 2.5 million Palestinians live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Cartons are recyclable in Phoenix and throughout the United States. When you put your cartons in the recycling bin, you are doing a lot more than keeping them out of landfills – you are contributing to a new product, conserving energy, and protecting the environment. Cartons become paper toilets, napkins, tissue paper, and more. By purchasing products with recycled content, you are generating the demand for recycled materials, which increases your impact even further.
If you have a small quantity of cardboard, you can place it in your Phoenix Recycles blue container. Please flatten the boxes to fit in your blue container loosely.
If you have a large quantity of cardboard boxes, please flatten all boxes, remove any packing materials and call Solid Waste Customer Service at 602-262-7251. You will be asked to estimate the quantity of boxes you have. This will help determine what kind of equipment is needed to pick up the load. There is no additional fee for this pick up service.
The Phoenix Public Works Department has partnered with the Carton Council to increase awareness about cardboard and carton recycling.

My Boss And I Have Different Communication Styles, And It's Destroying Our Relationship
Rich Hua stashed this in Communication
Stashed in: Attitude, Relationships, Communication, Management
There are four primary communication styles; Analytical, Intuitive, Functional and Personal. And there's a communication styles assessment to assess your preferred style.
The Analytical Communicator likes hard data, real numbers, and tends to be suspicious of people who aren't in command of the facts and data. They typically like very specific language and dislike vague language.
The Intuitive Communicator likes the big picture, avoids getting bogged down in details, and cuts right to the chase. They don't need to hear things in perfect linear order but prefer instead a broad overview that lets them easily skip right to the end point.
The Functional Communicator likes process, detail, timelines and well-thought-out plans. They like to communicate things in a step-by-step fashion so nothing gets missed.
The Personal Communicator values emotional language and connection, and uses that as their mode of discovering what others are really thinking. They find value in assessing not just how people think, but how they feel.

Villa CampestriVia di Campestri 19/22, 50039 Vicchio di Mugello (Florence), Tuscany, Italy, +39 055 849 0107
Villa Sangiovese
The Bleulers used to manage the long-established Tenuta di Ricavo at Castellina. They opened the doors of Villa San Giovese in Panzano, a few miles to the north, in 1988 after completely renovating the building, and winning high praise from our readers. The main villa is a neat stone-and-stucco house fronting directly on to a quiet back street; potted plants and a brass plate beside the doorway are the only signs of a hotel. Attached to this house is an old, rambling, stone building beside a flowery, gravelled courtyard-terrace offering splendid views. The landscaped garden below includes a fair-sized pool. Inside, all is mellow, welcoming and stylish, with carefully chosen antique furnishings against plain, pale walls. Bedrooms, some with wood-beamed ceilings, are spacious, comfortable, and tastefully restrained in decoration. The dining room is equally simple and stylish, with subdued wall lighting and bentwood chairs on a tiled floor. A limited but interesting la carte menu is offered, which changes each night; service on the terrace in summer. A reporter praises the food and the wine.

Anticipations or compositions of limited originality :
43 is anticipated by Avner Bar-Nir, Shahmat 1977 (PDB P0526387, WID 237938), while 46 by Jorge M. Kapros, MH idee & form-10 JT 1994-96 (WID 202985).
47, 51, 53 and 57 have been already published as 5303 diagrammes 149 April 2004 (WID 193186), 1573 Orbit 27 July 2005 (WID 206757), 4422 Phénix 124 December 2003 (WID 188445) and 5174 diagrammes 147 October 2003 (WID 177873) respectively.
49 is substantially anticipated by Fadil Abdurahmanović, Magyar Sakkélet 1979 (PDB P0559869, WID 59129), even if the composer's trick to use a white pawn for one of the mates in order to get models is smart and adds variety.
60 is anticipated by Garen Yacoubian, 2° Prix The Problemist 1973-74 (615 FIDE Album 1974-76, WID 23242), Viktor Chepizhny, Kudesnik 2004 (WID 245445) and Aleksandr Pankratiev & Vadim Vinokurov, 2°-3° Prix Rabochy Kraï 2005 (WID 260599).
67 is anticipated by Julius Bebesi, Magyar Sakkvilág 1936 (PDB P0565066, WID 7011), Henry Tanner, MH Ideal-Mate Review 1994 (PDB P0501158, WID 7013) and Luigi Vitale, Thema Danicum 1999 (PDB P0577776, WID 209034).
145 shows anticipatory self-pins of three black pieces along the same line, which have already been blended with a cycle of white moves in Chris. Feather, 2° MH The British Chess Magazine 1972 (PDB P0504456, WID 119248).
152 is anticipated by Viktor Bene, 5° MH Probleemblad 1998 (PDB P0576708, WID 116387). 210 shows cyclic Zilahi with prolonged Y-flights, a combination that has already been achieved in miniature and in 3 solutions form (yet, at the cost of a repeated white move) by Zvonimir Hernitz, 1° Prix 13° TT Problem-Echo 1995-96 (E34 Album FIDE 1995-97, WID 9774).
215 is actually a version of the same composer's 6° MH Problem-Forum 2005 (quoted together with the solution) showing interferences on two black lines and having a visually more attractive setup, alas at the cost of twinning. By the way, Jones's composition of 2005 fully anticipates a later problem by Abdelaziz Onkoud in Chess Leopolis 2010 (WID 418190).
223 is anticipated by Norbert Geissler, feenschach 1993 (PDB P0556338, WID 3765), which furthermore avoids the unnecessary black pawn.
Constructional defects :
There is idle white material in the set line of 52, and repeated moves in 56 and 150. 146 is strangely to our days cooked. The awkward capture R×h1 in 159 should have been avoided. Thin content or not of any particular interest :
42, 44 (Chumakov theme with ideal mates, but too dry to my taste), 58 (twins (c) and (d) are symmetric), 59 (rather simple Zilahi), 140 (self-pin hideaways with unbalanced B1 moves), 142, 143, 144 (minimalistic Zilahi with pawns), 149 (just a scheme), 151 (ideal mates without any strategy), 161 (too many repetitions), 162 (ordinary single-liner), 212 (very familiar reciprocal black self-unpins), 214 (merely a pair of mutual captures), 216 (only two black switchbacks packed with a lot of ordinary moves), 221, 222, 224.
Thematically not profound enough to be included in the award :
64 (the WCCT-8 theme with two pairs of analogous solutions in HOTF style ; unfortunately the twinning is excessive),
66 (two switchbacks of the WB, but unbalanced solutions),
68 (a puzzle for solvers, but the quoted "try" is not so convincing ; it would have been more interesting if it could not work because of lack of a tempo, for instance),
69 (tricky solving, but not to my taste),
70 (nice and probably novel hiding manoeuvre by the WK that involves a tempo, but there are many earlier problems showing even an AUW),
141 (charming and well-constructed, yet the W1 moves are commonplace),
153 (black sacrifices for gate-openings, but the rest of the play is mediocre), 154 (witty twinning for castling, but thin from strategic point of view and with pin-mate only in one solution),
155 (hackneyed reciprocal white batteries),
156 (unbalanced white play with tempo only in one solution),
158 (not particularly interesting),
208 (a HOTF with dual-avoidance square blocks in the first pair of solutions and critical Grimshaw interferences in the second, but excessive twinning and the move B×c3 is very weak).
The single-double step moves of the same white pawn in 211 working as sacrifices that vacate the mate square are interesting, but the practically inexistent black play leaves no room for a distinction.
Awkward captures of black pieces in 213 without any meaningful strategy except for the mutual vacation of mate squares between the white pieces. The captures of BB in 218 are very unattractive.
Familiar Kniest and Zilahi play in 219 with the WR and WB breaking the wall of the black pawns and the WS carrying out dissimilar manoeuvres. Nice line clearances with white sacrifices in 220, but the repeated moves are not appealing.

1st-2nd Prize 160 Degener & Degenkolbe :
A lovely Minimal with two distinct manoeuvres leading to the same finale ; in one solution the WB has to carry out a critical move to allow the black castling and in the other he should move away from the diagonal (without obstructing the route of BR with the move Be8) to allow the BK reach to the mate square.

A 29-YEAR-OLD Filipina was sentenced to jail for one year and six months along with a compensation order for the offence of criminal breach of trust by the Intermediate Court yesterday.
Judge Haji Abdullah Soefri Pehin Orang Kaya Saiful Mulok Dato Seri Paduka Haji Abidin gave much consideration to the case's aggravating and mitigating factors.
After finding no exceptional circumstances, he immediately arrived to a decision of custodial sentence and gave discounts given the mitigating factors.
DPP Hazirah also stated in court that the Philippines Embassy has confirmed that the defendant's son has to undergo full surgery due to a heart condition and has to report to hospital every 21 days.
Rialyn Lora Roxas said to the judge that she was sorry for the breach of trust, especially as her employer has been nothing but nice to her, adding that she committed the offence because of financial constraints as she is the sole breadwinner of her family back in the Philippines.
According to DPP Dk Hazirah's facts of the case, over a span of time (March to December 2014) the defendant took $6,000 in proceeds from the sales of food and beverages of High Frequency Café in Batu Besurat, where she worked as a waitress and cashier.
On February 5 this year, the café was informed by their Point of Sales System provider that there was a large number of irregular activities by the same user – being the defendant, with her username LJ – who removed orders from the system, voiding a total of 1,924 orders in nine months.
The police then launched investigations which led to an admission by the defendant, who said that she needed the money which was mostly remitted to her family back home.
In default of compensating $6,000 to the café owner, which is to be settled in two months, the defendant may also get an additional two-month jail sentence.

Billboard reports that the radio airplay of Ke$ha's song "Die Young" has steadied after an initial dropoff as a result of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
Nielsen BDS has been monitoring the airplays, and have noticed that the decline is steadying somewhat. Adult pop station WDAQ Danbury, Conn., located about 10 miles from Newtown, stopped playing the track after last Friday's tragedy. The station program director, Rich Minor, stated: "We've been playing it before Friday but not since and I think we're now done with it. Even though it's a fun pop/dance record about seizing the moment, all people are going to hear right now [are] those two words in the title."
Airplay for the song was lower after Friday, though not all stations in the region dropped the song permanently. Pop Songs panelist WODS Boston PD Dan Mason said, "We backed off 'Die Young' initially [but it's] back in regular rotation. So far, no negative calls or texts from listeners about it."
Ke$ha personally expressed regret over the timing of her song. She posted on her Twitter account earlier this week: "I'm so so so sorry for anyone who has been effected by this tragedy.and I understand why my song is now inappropriate. words cannot express."
BDS now states though that airplay for the song is actually trending back up nationally since the weekend. Reportedly, 1,200 stations monitored for the Billboard Hot 100 had the song logged with 2,300 plays each day. The song is likely to continue to have a decrease in airplay through a combination of extra lyrical analysis from PDs and the typical decline of a former number one Pop Songs hit.

Some Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Tree Care Expert
Will the team be utilizing hardhats and other individual defensive gear while on your property during the tree pruning procedure? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that individual defensive gear is utilized for any tree care operation due to the fact that accidents could happen. A legitimate tree care administration will require their specialists to be ensured, and this is important because if something happens outside protocol, you might be the one paying for it in the end. It's critical to secure yourself and your property by employing a dependable professional. It's similarly vital to secure yourself and your employee by asking these essential inquiries.

A Minute With: Robert Duvall on Westerns and avoiding stereotypes
By Piya Sinha-Roy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - With a career spanning seven decades, actor Robert Duvall has played roles ranging from Joseph Stalin to Dwight D. Eisenhower, and he still looks for ways to diversify his choices.
Duvall, 82, will next be seen as a stoic war veteran patriarch in "Jayne Mansfield's Car," written and directed by and starring Billy Bob Thornton, which will be released in U.S. theaters on Friday.
The film, a drama set in 1960s Alabama, explores the cultural impact of a British family in a small Southern town.
Duvall spoke to Reuters about his love of working in Westerns, how Hollywood has evolved and his dream role.
Q: What drew you to work with Billy Bob Thornton on "Jayne Mansfield's Car"?
A: Billy Bob, I call him the hillbilly Orson Welles! Seriously though, in some cases he puts Tennessee Williams in the back seat. The guy understands the Southern idiom. He understands where he comes from. He's a brilliant guy, not just as an actor, but he's a triple threat guy - a writer, director and actor. The material was so unique to what he knows and what he grew up with that it attracted me very much, because his family was like that. His own father used to take the boys to car wrecks, to examine it and wonder why it happened, so he came from this world that he writes about. He understands the world he writes about.
Q: Do you find that the South can be misconstrued in film?
A: Absolutely. If (Thornton) goes broad or into another realm that seems not real, it is real because he comes from that. His mother was a clairvoyant, she took his readings. It's his own niche in the southern culture. Very definitely Hollywood, they miss it because they put quotations around it and they condescend to it. But he speaks from within out, because he understands it. So whatever he portrays is accurate to what he comes from, which may be different from other parts of the South. But he doesn't misconstrue it, he understands it where most Hollywood movies do not. Continued...

Agile Development Teams Need Managers Too!
Mike Cottmeyer recently wrote an interesting article about whether or not managers can lead agile teams?
Organisations do need managers, for a wide variety of reasons. And let's face it, the roles of Product Owner and Scrum Master are management roles.
They may not be management roles in the traditional sense, but management roles they are.
The Product Owner is there to manage stakeholders, manage incoming requests and prioritise work for the team. This is management.
The Scrum Master is there to deal with any issues that are impeding the team's progress, facilitate communication, orchestrate the process, etc. This is also management.
What Scrum has effectively done is to split the traditional management role into two, one with a focus on aligning the team's activities with the goals of the business; the other with a focus on the internal organisation of the team.
The aspects of management these roles don't explicitly address are duties relating to line management, for example:
- Reporting up the line
- Setting budgets and managing finances
- Managing the performance of individuals in the team
- Developing people's careers
- Ensuring compliance with important company policies or regulations
- Setting out a clear vision and strategy for the future
- Understanding the wider organisational context and identifying opportunities and constraints
- 'Selling' the team's achievements and goals within the wider organisation
- Raising funds for projects
- Signing off and managing holidays, sickness, expenses, invoices, etc – i.e. the administrative side of management
- Deciding on the most appropriate organisational structure
- Hiring and firing
And I'm sure there are many others!
So I guess one possibility is that the traditional management role was always too big for some people. To fulfil all of these responsibilities, and those of the Scrum Master, and those of the Product Owner, and by the way to be the assigned leader. Management, done right, is a big deal and it's why anyone who has tried it knows it's not easy.
Scrum alleviates this challenge by splitting the management role, spreading the responsibilities and making the challenge of management more achievable.
The Product Owner can worry about what we should be doing. The Scrum Master can worry about the internal process and making sure issues are being addressed. And line managers can worry about all the other stuff!
Having said that, a key principle of agile methods is that agile teams must be empowered.
Agile methods advocate the idea of self-organising teams. In a way that's quite funny, because the responsibilities of the Scrum Master and Product Owner mean that in many ways Scrum teams are far from self-organising!
Nevertheless, the idea is that whilst the process may be somewhat prescribed by Scrum and managed by the Scrum Master, the team will make most decisions about how things should be done for themselves, and will pick their tasks rather than having them allocated by a manager. In any case, self-organisation is not boundaryless!
Regardless of all this, like any other teams, agile teams still need leadership. Leadership sometimes comes from one of these management roles, as managers often end up as managers because they have some level of leadership skills. Sadly, sometimes they don't! Other times leadership comes from within the team, which is equally good and in my opinion should be encouraged.
Leaders can be appointed (e.g. line managers, Scrum Master, Product Owner), or they can be emergent leaders that emerge naturally because of their skills, expertise or personality, rather than because they've been formally assigned a leadership role.
Wherever it comes from, leadership is probably the difference between good teams and great teams! Inspirational leadership can transform a team's energy, and therefore their ability to overcome obstacles, strive for bigger goals, and bond as a team. Here are 20 qualities of an inspirational leader that ideally ought to be present in every team…

Great post Kelly. Both the Scrum Master and Product Owner roles are indeed management roles. I believe that the Product Owner could take over a number of other duties that you mention in your bullets, or work with another line manager to achieve them.
One bone I will pick though is when you say this, "Managing the performance of individuals in the team." Measuring individual performance for me is contrary to Agile, and the focus on teams. If you align incentives with the individuals, they will act as individuals. However, if you incentivise the team, they will work as a team. Misaligned incentives I have found can cause a negative effect. We want everyone to work together.
Hi Robert.
Thanks as always for your constructive feedback…
I would definitely agree with your point about incentives. If there are incentives, they should ideally be for the team rather than for individuals.
About the Product Owner or Scrum Master absorbing line management duties, I agree. But these line management responsibilities are not explicitly addressed in the definition of these roles in Scrum, and it may not be appropriate for these roles to be combined in all cases.
If a line manager is also fulfilling the role of PO or SM, that's fine, you don't necessarily need an extra person, but the line manager is still needed even if they do assume the role of PO or SM as well.
Re my comment about the performance management of individuals, I should clariy what I mean. As humans, we all have strengths and weaknesses. Even I do :-) I see it as a line managers responsibility to try to improve every individual's performance. Hopefully with feedback, guidance, maybe training and coaching, a manager can make good people great. Naturally not all managers are good coaches, but this is certainly a responsibility of a line manager in my opinion.
It's also true that sometimes you have poor performers, with or without incentives. Some people just don't have the right skills, are slow or produce poor quality, or maybe don't have the right attitude. Someone (in my view the line manager) has to take responsibility for trying to turn this situation around, for the benefit of the team. And I don't think this can be put down as an impediment and dealt with by the Scrum Master unless they also do happen to have line management responsibility.
If all else fails, someone has to take responsibility for managing this person's exit. In the UK there are specific employment laws about how this should be handled, to make sure that people are treated fairly. A line manager needs to take this responsibility and this is not something a team can do with self-organisation.
Wonderful post. Management and Scrum is ongoing discussion we're having at my employer (IBM). Managers get uncomfortable when Scrum is introduced because they view it as their team no longer needing them!
Here is something I wrote several months ago on this issue, I'd be very curious about your thoughts. I very much like your list breaking out those 'other' management duties (out side of Scrum). Balancing that with being a full time Scrum Master is a huge struggle.
I'm going to toss in a track back from my post to this one.
Performance review systems is a very difficult thing to discuss. There is NO simple answer. You will not find a system that only measures the team or individual.

Ok, I figured out this one too. I just needed to put a little more thought into it!

Zazi: Power And Disturbance
Meita's reaction is a lot worse than I expected. I had seen Ian help to advance her powers, but never imagined she had become this powerful. One hand is out and already Ian is choking, falling to the floor like a child's weak rag-doll. I panic and for a moment my heart-rate increases. 'Oh God I almost lost him again,' is the only thing I can think.
"No, Meita, stop." I cry, and try to explain the situation once again.
"My powers don't work against her will and I can't touch her" Ian interrupts me in a whispered voice. Huh? I don't get that, how did I…Maybe my willpower combined with that machine was stronger that I anticipated. Hmm, I like this control over him. It's kind of like…feminine empowerment.
Then Meita bursts out laughing, totally taking all of us off guard. I help Ian up from the floor, feeling the emotional electric shock I get from touching him, and we just sort of stare, side my side, at her. It takes me a minute to realise that I'm still gripping his wrist.
"Sorry," I blush, and pull my hand away, but our fingers brush. Like branches of the trees nearby. An appropriate metaphor, I commend myself. By now, Meita has finished laughing, but I feel a disturbance in the house.
"Shh. Did you hear that? A scream?"
"I don't think so," Ian replies with definite certainty in his voice.
A wind whips up around us; something is unquestionably wrong with the balance in nature…Meita shivers and pulls her thin jacket around herself.
"I know what you mean…Let's go inside. We have a lot of explaining to do…"

You can just use sil tape and maybe some seam sealer.
how big are the holes? you might just be able to use seam sealer.
Do you sew? Casue it would not really matter what kind of thread especailly for what is being presented as a very small hole.
I would go with the sil tape or any other tape for that matter. But i have use sil tape to repair all kinds of things from melted down jackets to splitting tent seams.Apr 22, 2013 at 8:32 am #1979301

Yeah, ditto. If you think they are small enough to sew and close the hole in a way that is also cosmetically acceptable to you, then do that with a few stitches, and seal it on the inside with some mcnett seam grip. This will be waterproof, but it should also bind everything together and prevent further enlargement of the hole.
If the holes are larger you can do the full monte and use a patch with this same technique.
I think you can safely use standard polyester thread.Apr 22, 2013 at 1:25 pm #1979424

Where can you get Sil tape? and is it as easy as just applying it to the fabric? The holes are pretty tiny smaller than a penny significantly.Apr 22, 2013 at 3:20 pm #1979469

Patch with silnylon and sealant. Sewing patch in place as well might be advised.

I had the same problem with my golite whim wind pants from '07 and I sewed up a small hole using some pretty standard nylon thread I picked up at a craft store. I'm not the best seamstress either. Hope this helpsApr 22, 2013 at 5:56 pm #1979527

here is what I use and carry every trip. Works great. I use seam sealer also to make sure the edges stay down.
