US 4378838 AAbstract
An improved pipe wiper and cup therefor having at least one cup-like wiper lip which is strengthened by a plurality of radial webs which tend to keep the wiper lip from turning wrong side out, the wiper lip also having a plurality of external annular ridges whose diameters correspond to conventional pipe sizes so that the lip can be trimmed to proper size before use leaving an external ridge on the outer edge of the lip to enhance the wiping efficiency of the lip.
1. A pipe wiper, comprising:a. a body; b. at least one resilient external annular cup-like flange on said body extending outwardly and rearwardly; and c. a plurality of radially disposed, longitudinally extending webs integral with said body and said flange for strengthening said flange to better resist being turned wrong side out. 2. The pipe wiper of claim 1, wherein said body is formed of a rigid material and said resilient flange is formed of an elastomeric material bonded to the exterior of said body.
The present invention is directed to pipe wipers, including wiper plugs, pumpdown wiper plugs, and the like, which include a rigid body surrounded by a resilient body having at least one annular flange which extends outwardly therefrom and is inclined or curved rearwardly and having a plurality of radially spaced web portions formed integral therewith which extend longitudinally between the resilient body and the flange to lend strength to the flange to enable it to resist greater forces which tend to turn it wrong side outward. The present invention is also directed to wiper cups for use on pipe wipers, including wiper plugs, pumpdown plugs, and the like. This invention is further directed to pipe wipers and cups therefor which are adapted for use in a variety of pipe sizes and which are readily trimmable to size before use.
Referring now to FIGS. 1A and 1B, it will be seen that these fragmentary views taken together show a well 10 having a well casing 11 whose lower end 12 terminates say hundreds of feet above the bottom (not shown) of the well. A liner 14, having a latch down receptacle 16 threadedly disposed in collar 17 which is preferably spaced only about 20 to 40 feet above the bottom of the liner 14, is telescopingly anchored in the well casing a short distance above the lower end 12 thereof.

Establish and maintain relationships with the community of science and technology (S & T), by universities and research centers in the country;
Provide technical assistance and perform centralized services in the areas of technical information and industrial property (trademarks and patents);
Propose guidelines on technology and innovation to Petrobras.
Cenpes carries out research and technological development in energy, fulfilling the needs of the areas of end-Petrobras: exploration, production and refining of oil and natural gas, in addition to research on renewable energy and sustainable development.
Basic engineering[edit]
The area of basic engineering is responsible for three major activities: the production of basic design (set of technical documents that define a fully operational unit and aims to hire the subsequent phases of development), technical evaluations and economic provision of assistance technique.

"Mexico is a long way from having strong rule of law still, and a solid economic base has not necessarily led to the kind of jobs that people hope to have," said Andrew Selee, director of the Mexico Institute, a Washington-based think tank. "It's a well-managed economy but it's not a dynamic economy. And that's the legacy."
Calderon's criticisms have been more muted since Pena Nieto's victory, officially declared by the country's electoral tribunal last week, a change in tone that many say is due his negotiations with the incoming administration to help bolster his legacy.
The president's annual written report, thousands of pages of statistics on the state of everything from highways to foreign affairs, was delivered to Congress on Saturday, as the law requires.
The report said Mexico has made the largest security investment in its history under Calderon, allowing the federal police force to be purged of bad officers. He boasted of reformed laws to better coordinate security operations and noted that federal forces have captured or killed 22 of the country's 37 most-wanted drug traffickers.
"There have been many problems with restructuring the federal police because they haven't eradicated corruption," Benitez said. "The adaption of the armed forces to fighting drug trafficking has been slow and difficult, and they haven't been able to resolve the human right violations."

Excellent - Review of SHRIMP COTTAGE. DEAL, KENT, ENGLAND., Deal, England - TripAdvisor
Excellent - SHRIMP COTTAGE. DEAL, KENT, ENGLAND.
M21kXzM1XzhkbA==
Review of SHRIMP COTTAGE. DEAL, KENT, ENGLAND.
Very well equipped lovely & clean comfortable beds &nice to be meet by the owners on our arrival s great location to explore all Kent had to offer
THANK YOU FOR THE CARD AND THE FINE BOTTLE OF WINE YOU LEFT US, ALSO FOR THE ABOVE REVIEW. IT IS HEART WARMING TO US THAT YOU HAD A GOOD TIME IN DEAL AND SHRIMP COTTAGE. SEE YOU SOON M & T.
For the third time we have stayed in this delightful cottage. After a stay of two weeks over the Christmas holidays it was wonderful, and in an town with a high street that was voted high street of the year in 2014. Within walking distance, with all the shops you could wish for and within a good half an hours drive to Canterbury, Ashford and many other wonderful towns and villages this makes a good stress free holiday no matter what time of the year you choose. Our thanks go out to the owners Melanie and Tony who have such high standards that over the three years we have known the cottage the welcome is just as warm if not warmer and the standards just as high if not higher, if that is possible. THANK YOU BOTH .
Liked best: The cosiness on a cold December night. The ease of access to to all amenities.
Liked least: Nothing in this cottage or area is not to like.
Thank you so much for your glowing review of SHRIMP COTTAGE. It is such a pleasure to welcome you from HOLLAND over the Christmas and New Year Period to our little cottage, - (now I think your cottage!) It is very gratifying to us that the effort we put into the cottage is appreciated year on year by you. Thank you Jo and Derek, from Melanie and Tony.
DEAR JILL AND DAVE, WE ARE SO GLAD YOU TOOK OUR ADVICE ABOUT WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO SEE, ALSO YOU HAD A GOOD TIME IN OUR PART OF KENT AND AT SHRIMP COTTAGE. IT WAS VERY NICE MEETING AND TALKING WITH YOU.
HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOON. VERY KIND REGARDS TONY AND MELANIE
P_Haselus...
One year on, we have just returned from a second visit to Deal, again staying at Shrimp Cottage. The cottage is tiny, but nearly unimprovable. There was absolutely nothing that we might object to.
Deal is still charming, and a perfect place for a quiet and relaxing week.
We may well return next year and, if we do, it will be to Shrimp Cottage again.
THANK YOU TOM, IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU TWO AS OUR GUESTS AT SHRIMP COTTAGE, AND ALSO FOR LOOKING AFTER THE COTTAGE AS YOU USUALLY DO.
KIND REGARDS TO YOU. M & T
THANK YOU EMMA FOR YOUR VERY KIND LETTER YOU LEFT AT SHRIMP COTTAGE, IT IS VERY HEART WARMING WHEN A CUSTOMER HAS ENJOYED THEMSELVES AS MUCH AS YOU AND YOUR LOVERLY LITTLE DOG MYRTLE HAVE. COME BACK SOON EMMA & MYRTLE
“excellent, relaxing week away”
Just back from a lovely week in Shrimp cottage.Shrimp cottage is just as the description on holiday lettings web site.the cottage is in a very quite location but is only a very short distance from everything,excellent pubs,restaurants, shopping,sea front and beach.we were met by the owners on arrival who made sure everything was to our liking,and showed us all we needed to know about the cottage.we had a lovely week s holiday.We had never been to Deal before but would not hesitate visiting Deal and Shrimp cottage again
THANK YOU FOR STAYING AT SHRIMP COTTAGE. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE MEETING YOU, AND ALSO FOR LOOKING AFTER THE COTTAGE SO WELL, PLEASE COME AGAIN SOON, SHRIMP COTTAGE IS MISSING YOU ALREADY.
“A Topper”
Reviewed August 28, 2014 for a stay in December 2013
December was the second time we had stayed at the cottage and now we have booked again for the end of the year. Deal is a lovely place, easy to get to from the continent. We travel from Holland using the Calais to Dover ferry service. Then a 30 minute trip puts us at the cottage, ideal for early or late in the year when the weather can be awful. The cottage is charming. Clean, warm, welcoming with everything you need for a relaxed holiday. Good beds and shower room facilities. The kitchen is excellant and has everything you need and the lounge is warm and cosy. The owners are lovely friendly people and proud of the cottage and the service and facilities they provide. For two people the cottage is perfect and you will enjoy your stay there. We do and can't wait for the end of the year.
Liked best: Welcoming arrival.
Thank you Jo & Derek, you are always more than welcome at Shrimp Cottage. We look forward to your annual stay and it is a pleasure for us that you appreciate that we try to make all our guests feel relaxed and comfortable, so they can enjoy their time in the cottage and Deal. Looking forward to seeing you at Christmas & New Year. M & T.

Peaches And Screams by G. A. McKevett | NOOK Book (eBook) | Barnes & Noble®
Plus-sized private eye Savannah Reid is about to discover the answer to that age-old question: What could be worse than going back home to the Deep South in the height of August humidity? It's going home to a wedding--not your own--without a ring on your finger or a date on your arm. But a hideous bridesmaid's dress is the least of Savannah's problems after her kid
Peaches And Screams available in
9781617735813
Peaches and Screams (Savannah Reid Series #7) 5 out of 5 based on 0 ratings.
With a lush for a mother and a trucker for a father who was on the road more then he was home, Savannah Reid and her maternal grandmother raised the eight younger Reids. As soon as the last one was grown, Savannah moved from the backwater town of McGill in southern Georgia to San Carmelita, California where she joined the police force. After a few years, the feisty woman left the department and opened her own one-woman private detective agency. Since business is slow, Savannah finds time to travel back to her hometown to be a bridesmaid for her sister Marietta who is getting married for the third time. On the day she arrives, her younger brother Macon is charged with killing the honorable Judge Patterson, a power in the county. Now while Savannah knows her brother is a thief and a liar, she also believes he is no killer. With some friends who fly in from California, Savannah leads an investigation where there are more suspects than mourners for the late departed judge. G.A. McKevett has written another fine Savannah Reid mystery only this time the action takes place in the rural south instead of California. Readers receive an up close and personal look at how a small southern town operates. The secondary cast is colorful and eccentric, good for a few chuckles to relieve the rising tension as Savannah closes in on the perpetrator. PEACHES AND SCREAMS is a delightful regional mystery.

"All the successful projects I've been involved with or have observed over the past 19 or so years have had many of the same characteristics as described in Crystal Clear (even the big projects). And many of the failed projects failed because they missed something—such as expert end-user involvement or accessibility throughout the project. The final story was a great read. Here was a project that in my opinion was an overwhelming success—high productivity, high quality, delivery, happy customer, and the fact that the team would do it again. The differing styles in each chapter kept it interesting. I started reading it and couldn't put it down, and by the end, I just had to say 'Wow!'"

Crystal Clear: A Human-Powered Methodology for Small TeamsCrystal Clear: A Human-Powered Methodology for Small TeamsPreface
Crystal Clear: A few key rules to get a small project into its safety zone.
You have barely enough resources to get the system out. You don't want the team to write long documents, but they are forgetting things they are supposed to know about. You dislike heavy software development processes, but you want your team to work better than just randomly. You particularly want the software to come out the door successfully.
You considered sitting down and writing out the basic discussions the team should have and the work products they must be careful to attend to. You asked yourself:
What have other small, successful project teams done?
What practices do they use?
This book answers those questions. It is the result of ten years of debriefing successful small teams. Most of them repeated the same message:
Seat people close together, communicating frequently and with goodwill.
Get most of the bureaucracy out of their way and let them design.
Get a real user directly involved.
Have a good automated regression test suite available.
Produce shippable functionality early and often.
Do all that, and most of the process details will take care of themselves.
This book sets out one of the most efficient and habitable methodologies you might hope to find: Crystal Clear. It is a human-powered methodology, most simply described as follows:
The lead designer and two to seven other developers in a large room or adjacent rooms, with information radiators such as whiteboards and flip charts on the wall, having access to key users, distractions kept away, delivering running, tested, usable code every month or two (okay, three at the most), periodically reflecting and adjusting on their working style.
This simple recommendation rests on both experience and theory. Software development can be characterized as an economically constrained cooperative game of invention and communication.1 The way the team plays each game has everything to do with the project's outcome and the resulting software. Crystal Clear tackles the economic-cooperative game directly, addressing where to pay attention, where to simplify, and how to vary the rules. A number of teams have shared with me—and now with you, through this book—examples of their rules, work products, and even office layouts.
Many so-called "best" methodologies get rejected by a team as being too constraining, too invasive, or too difficult. Crystal Clear does not aspire to be a "best" methodology; it aspires to be "sufficient," in order that your team will shape it to itself and then actually use it.
Origin of the Material in This Book
The IBM Consulting Group asked me in 1991 to write a methodology for object—technology projects. Not knowing enough about methodologies at that time to make the crucial decisions, and at the suggestion of my boss, Kathy Ulisse,2 I started interviewing project teams. What they told me was very different from what I had been reading in the books. In particular, they stressed aspects not covered in the methodology texts: close communication, morale, access to end users, and so on. It was not long before these issues separated in stark contrast the successful projects I visited from the failing ones. I came to see these issues, and not the design techniques, as the key to reaching a successful project outcome.
I got to try these ideas out as lead consultant on a $15 million, fixed-price, fixed-scope project of forty-five people. The ideas worked as advertised (coupled with a lot of creativity along the way), and showed themselves as core success factors. I wrote up the lessons learned from the project interviews and that project in Surviving Object-Oriented Projects (Cockburn 1998).3
One particular triplet showed up repeatedly: colocation of the team, frequent delivery, and access to an expert user. The differences in results between projects that did and didn't do these far exceeded any other short list of practices. This book builds from that triplet.
The projects in my career have generally been of the fixed-price, fixed-scope variety. People usually underbid on these projects, which means that the only way the team can deliver on time is by being very creative with their development process. Unlike most of the other authors of the Agile Development Manifesto, I came to the agile principles through the need for efficiency, not the need to handle rapidly changing requirements.
As a result, Crystal Clear is well suited to the fixed-price context. If you are in such a situation, use the planning, communication, and reporting mechanisms I describe to meet your (probably unrealistic) deadline, and just be careful not to change the requirements at the start of every iteration. If you have an exploratory project in which the requirements are unknown or fluid, that is fine. Then allow the requirements to move at the start of each iteration.
Crystal Clear in the Crystal Family
Crystal is a family of methodologies with a common genetic code, one that emphasizes frequent delivery, close communication and reflective improvement. There is no one Crystal methodology. There are different Crystal methodologies for different types of projects. Each project or organization uses the genetic code to generate new family members.
The name "Crystal" comes from my characterization of projects along two dimensions, size and criticality, matching that of minerals, color and hardness (see Figure 7-1).
Larger projects, which require more coordination and communication, map to darker colors (clear, yellow, orange, red, and so on). Projects for systems that can cause more damage need added hardness in the methodology, as well as more validation and verification rules. A quartz methodology is suited to a few developers creating an invoicing system. The same team controlling the movement of boron rods in a nuclear reactor needs a diamond methodology—one calling for repeated checks on both the design and the implementation of their algorithms.
I characterize Crystal methodologies by color, according to the number of people being coordinated: Clear is for collocated teams of 8 or fewer people, Yellow is for teams of 1020 people, Orange is for 2050 people, Red is for 50100 people, and so on, through Maroon, Blue, and Violet. Crystal Orange is described in Surviving Object-Oriented Projects (Cockburn 1998), and its variant Crystal Orange/Web is described in Agile Software Development (Cockburn 2002). I find that, except on life-critical projects, people can add in the verification activities through the methodology shaping and tuning workshops.4
Crystal's genetic code is made up of:
The economic-cooperative game model
Selected sample techniques
The economic-cooperative game model says that software development is a series of "games" whose moves consist of nothing else besides inventing and communicating, which is typically resource limited. Each game in the series has two goals that compete for resources: to deliver the software in this game and to set up for the next game in the series. The game never repeats, so each project calls for strategies slightly different from all previous games. The economic-cooperative game model leads people on a project to think about their work in a very specific, focused, and effective way.
The priorities common to the Crystal family are
Safety in the project outcome
Efficiency in development
Habitability of the conventions (the developers can live with them)
Crystal has the project team steer toward seven safety properties, the first three properties of which are core to Crystal. The others can be added in any order to increase safety margin. The properties are
Personal safety (the first step in trust)
Easy access to expert users
Technical environment with automated testing, configuration management, and frequent integration
Crystal's principles are described in detail in Agile Software Development (Cockburn 2002). Among them are a few central ideas:
The amount of detail needed in the requirements, design, and planning documents varies with the project circumstances, specifically the extent of damage that might be caused by undetected defects and the frequency of personal collaboration enjoyed by the team.
It might not be possible to eliminate all intermediate work products and promissory notes such as requirements, design documents, and project plans; but they can be reduced to the extent that short, rich, informal communication paths are available to the team and working, tested software is delivered early and frequently.
The team continually adjusts its working conventions to fit the particular personalities on the team, the current local working environment, and the peculiarities of the specific assignment.
Among the rest are trade-off curves that highlight the cost implications of different communication mechanisms, different project situations, and different strategies for concurrent development. I used the principles to derive Crystal Clear, but don't discuss them separately in this book.
The Crystal package includes selected sample techniques, including ones for methodology shaping, planning, and reflective improvement. Crystal does not require any specific technique to be used by any of the people on the project, so these techniques are included only as a starter set.
Each member of the Crystal family is generated at the start of a project by shaping a base methodology according to the genetic code. Since the situation changes over time, the methodology is retuned during the course of the project. Both shaping and tuning are performed fast enough that the time spent gets repaid within the project time frame.
Crystal Clear is an optimization of Crystal that can be applied when the team consists of two to eight people sitting in the same room or in adjacent offices. The property of close communication is strengthened to "osmotic" communication, meaning that the people overhear each other discussing project priorities, status, requirements, and design on a daily basis. This enhanced communication allows the team to work more from tacit communication and small notes than otherwise would be possible.
Because every company and project is slightly different, even Crystal Clear is not fully specified. The first steps in adopting Crystal Clear are to uncover your organization's strong points and weaknesses and to fit the recommendations of Crystal Clear around them to capitalize on the strong points and cover the weaknesses.
For some organizations, this is too much work. Crystal Clear is not for those organizations. It is for groups that want to build their own, personal, strong, and effective way to deliver software repeatedly.
Crystal Clear shares some characteristics with XP but is generally less demanding. You might think of it as a more laid-back alternative, a place to fall back to if XP isn't working for the group, or a springboard to get some agile practices in place before jumping into XP.
This Book in the Agile Development Series
This book is part of the Agile Software Development series edited by Jim Highsmith and myself. The series describes both theory and practice for software development.
The theoretical underpinnings are discussed in four books: Agile Software Development (Cockburn 2002), Adaptive Software Development (Highsmith 2000), Agile Project Management (Highsmith 2004), and Lean Software Development (Poppendieck 2003).
The other books in the series pick up the thread either by describing a technique for a particular individual or role, a technique set for the entire team, or a methodology sample.
We find attention to the role of project manager in Surviving Object-Oriented Projects (Cockburn 1998) and Agile Project Management (Highsmith 2004), and attention to the role of requirements writer in Writing Effective Use Cases (Cockburn 2001b) and Patterns for Effective Use Cases (Adolph 2002).
We find attention to the entire team in Improving Software Organizations (Mathiassen 2001) OK and Configuration Management (Haas 2003).
Specific agile methodologies are described in DSDM (Stapleton 2003), Agile Software Development Ecosystems (Highsmith 2003), Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide (Larman 2003), and this book.
Future books will follow the theme, adding techniques for collaboration and team health.
Some people will read this book as an introduction to agile development techniques, and be relatively new to pair programming, test-driven development, osmotic communication, economic-cooperative game, continuous integration, and information radiators.
If that is you, then read this book pretty much straight through, because you are the person for whom I designed the chapter ordering.
I wrote the Chapter 1, Explained (View from the Outside), as an e-mail exchange between Crystal and myself to expose how these teams look to an outsider (remember, it was once all new to me, too).
Chapter 2, Applied (The Seven Properties), is the most important chapter. It describes what the team is aiming for, not the procedure it uses to get there.
Chapter 3, In Practice (Strategies and Techniques), should give you a handle on how some of this is done.
Chapter 4, Explored (The Process), describes the cyclical development processes core to all agile (indeed all modern) methodologies. It is something in which everyone should be fluent.
Just scan Chapter 5, Examined (The Work Products), on the first pass, since it is very detailed. Use it as an encyclopedia of work product samples when you get that far.
Chapter 6, Misunderstood (Common Mistakes), and Chapter 7, Questioned (Frequently Asked), should answer questions about what counts as okay and not-okay variations.
Chapter 8, Tested (A Case Study), gives you another chance to see the methodology from the outside, since it was written for people not familiar with Crystal Clear. It also contains an ISO 9001 auditor's analysis and recommendations, which shines light from a different angle.
Read Chapter 9, Distilled (The Short Version), to see if it makes sense at that point. If it doesn't, you may have to go back to Chapter 7 to see why such a simple recommendation works.
Some people are fully versed in modern agile development, including test-driven design and continuous integration. If you are one such person, I suggest you go directly to Chapter 9. After that (when you are done snickering), read Chapter 2, probably the most important chapter in the book. My guess is that you will find some new ideas to try out in Chapter 3. After looking through those chapters, return to Chapter 9 to see if it all hangs together for you.
If you are giving this to your boss or manager, my hope is that the first chapter, with its e-mail format, is the kind of thing that can be read on the airplane or in the bathtub. A manager or executive should also read the Chapter 4, because learning how to fit a cyclical process into the organization is important.
Process or methodology designers are quite likely to turn straight to Chapter 5, because this is a standard way of evaluating methodologies (although in the case of Crystal Clear, quite insufficient). To complete the evaluation, though, you need also to read Chapter 7 to see the comparison with other methodology systems.
Finally, you will be ready to start. At this point, read the answer to the last question in Chapter 7, "How do I get started?", and work from there. That will take you back to the methodology shaping and reflection techniques, and Chapter 2.
I wrote each chapter in its own unique style and tone. There is a reason for this. People learning a methodology are in much the same situation as blind men trying to guess the shape of an elephant, each feeling a different part and coming up with a different answer. Each person's unique background causes that person to notice and look for different things. Therefore, the nine different chapters are written in quite different ways. I don't expect everyone to be happy with every chapter, but I do hope that everyone finds some chapter that addresses his and her individual background and interests.
I am indebted to many more people for this book than for any of my previous ones: people who told me their stories, people who tried out the ideas, people who contributed samples, people who reviewed the text, and people who supported me emotionally.
Most of the people who told me their project stories during the last ten years don't know how much value they provided as they explained—even apologized for!—their ways of working. They often said, "We don't use a methodology here, we just . . .," or "I'm sorry, we don't bother to do xyz, or maintain our documents, but we have found. . . ." It was only by comparing results across a number of projects that I discovered that in many of these instances no apology was ever needed and that there was a strength in the way they worked.
Certain people were pioneers in trying out these ideas out on their projects. Jens Coldewey was the first, back in 1998, Robert Volker in 1999, Géry Derbier in 2002, Stephen Sykes in 2003. Dr. Christopher Jones tried out an early version on his unsuspecting senior software engineering students (who used every imaginable implementation technology). His students showed me where my writing was ambiguous or poorly described. Stephen got permission for me to include both his field report and the auditor's analysis in this book, a huge contribution.
Pete McBreen kept reminding me that people are also valuable carryovers from one project to the next (something I knew, but which kept slipping out of my descriptions until Pete reminded me again). Jeff Patton and Andy Pols were continual discussion partners on the topics.
Quite a number of people contributed office photos and work samples. Their names are listed separately in the permissions section and next to their contributions in the book, but I should like to highlight their importance here. For me as a writer intending to create something useful to you as a reader, it was important to have real work samples and not dummied up toy examples. These people recognized that importance and contributed what they had. I expect that all readers will appreciate their contributions.
Luke Hohmann and Tom Poppendieck read everything I wrote with astonishing thoroughness and caught errors of omission, commission, and even intention. Tom came up with the idea of dating the e-mails instead of numbering them. (Duh, why didn't I think of that? Thanks, Tom.)
Rich Turner is one of the people who could help me with the CMM(I) discussion in the context of Crystal Clear, and I'm thankful for his advice and review.
The Silicon Valley Patterns Group, and especially Russ Rufer and Chris Lopez, who read the manuscript carefully not just once, but twice, giving their usual thoughtful comments and pushing back on me when they felt I had gone off track. Russ argued me down relentlessly on some of sections until I finally got his point.
A few people read it from the Web and wrote in with corrections and improvements. Thank you, Marco Cova, Todd Little, Alan Griffiths, Howard Fear, Victoria Einarsson, Paul Chisholm, Pierce McMartin, Phillipe Back, Todd Jonker, Chris Matts, Gain Wong, Jeremy Brown, John Rusk, Johannes Brodwall, and Toby Kraft for your eagle eyesight.
The people in the Salt Lake Agile Group round table even ran through a "design the box" exercise for Crystal one day. The top quote from that day was,
"I've used Crystal all my life, and I've never been the same!"
Thanks to Jim Highsmith, discussion partner and series coeditor for the many illuminating discussions that shaped our ideas, our book series, and the wonderful Agile Development Conference in 2003.
Thanks to my new favorite coffee shop, the Salt Lake Coffee Break, which stays open until 2:00 A.M., has interesting clientele, power outlets that work, and baklava and Turkish coffee for those rare moments. Thanks to my family—to Deanna for checking in with me at the coffee shop at 1:00 A.M. to see how the typing was going (and then letting me sleep in in the morning), and to Kieran, Sean, and Cameron for their positive regard of my writing habit.
1Described at length in Agile Software Development (Cockburn 2002) and recapped in the first answer of Chapter 7.
2Thanks for the brilliant advice, Kathy!
3The project debriefings ended up as the basis for my doctoral dissertation, "People and Methodologies in Software Development" (Cockburn 2003a).
4If your company develops FDA- or other life-critical "validated" systems, you may want to set up three base methodologies; one for a Clear (quartz) projects, one for Yellow or Orange, and a third for all of the validated systems. Those three should provide adequate basis for shaping to any of the projects in your company.
The IBM Consulting Group asked me in 1991 to write a methodology for object--technology projects. Not knowing enough about methodologies at that time to make the crucial decisions, and at the suggestion of my boss, Kathy Ulisse,2 I started interviewing project teams.

Magpies defeat brave Yeading
Last updated at 17:34 09 January 2005
They took the field to the strains of David Bowie singing 'We can be heroes, just for one day' and the painters and decorators of part-time Yeading were just that, despite being unable to bridge a footballing gulf unique to the FA Cup.
In the end they succumbed to second-half goals from Newcastle's Lee Bowyer and Shola Ameobi but the consternation at times on the face of Newcastle manager Graeme Souness during a goalless first half in which the non-league side gave as good as they got told the story of this most romantic of cup ties.
It was just as well Souness paid the non-league outfit the respect of fielding a strong side with new signing Jean-Alain Boumsong coming in for his debut while goalkeeper Steve Harper replaced Shay Given, who started on the bench.
There was no Alan Shearer, still recovering from injury, but Yeading will still remember this day as the afternoon they threatened the most astonishing upset in FA Cup history.
That they did not had much to do with a bit of Premiership nous, superior
top-flight fitness and perhaps the fear among the Newcastle side of returning to
encounter Souness in a dressing room with faces covered in egg.
After all, these teams were separated by 123 league places and six potential
Newcastle's talent cost £30million. Yeading's cost nothing. Yeading's average
home crowd is 160, Newcastle's 55,000. Newcastle's average weekly wage £40,000
while some members of the Yeading team would take home no more than £30 for
No wonder it had been billed as 'The Ding v The Bling.'
But buoyed by the feat of non-league Exeter's goalless draw at Manchester
United yesterday, and in front of a noisy crowd of 10,824, Yeading made
Newcastle work for this victory. True, Souness must have despaired at the
profligacy of his team.
Wherever you looked there was someone in a black and white shirt intent it
seemed on fluffing their lines, Frenchman Laurent Robert setting the tone for
Newcastle in the first minute when he made a complete hash of his left-foot shot
with only Yeading goalkeeper Delroy Preddie to beat.
Bowyer contrived to miss a simple tap-in from two yards and Craig Bellamy hit
the crossbar with a rasping right-foot shot from eight yards when he should have
But to dwell on Newcastle's chances would be to deny Yeading their due credit.
They were fearless from the outset, snapping and snarling at the heels of
Newcastle's internationals, denying them time and space and proving that will
and desire can bridge a gap in skill.
Tellingly, Yeading enjoyed 52% of the possession in that first half, which was
a reflection on their hard work as much as an indictment of Newcastle's wayward
Their goalkeeper, 5ft 10ins Delroy Preddie, a civil servant who spends his
days fighting benefit fraud, proved an obstinate obstacle, saving spectacularly
from Jermaine Jenas's 25-yard rocket and low-down from Shola Ameobi. His
handling throughout was superb.
And the fact is Yeading could easily have gone in at half-time in the lead. If
only Emond Protain's powerful header had been six inches lower. If only David
Clarke's fabulous free-kick had been a little wider of goalkeeper Stephen
Harper's frantic dive.
As it was one of the biggest roars of the afternoon came from the Yeading fans
came during the interval as they greeted the news of Stoke's goal against
Cup upsets were in the air and Yeading were gaining in confidence, so much so
that Souness attempted to stiffen Newcastle's resolve, bringing on Andy O'Brien
at half-time for the shaky Bramble.
The little non-league side, however, finally cracked in the 51st minute.
Ameobi twisted and turned to evade the attentions of three Yeading players
before threading a cute through-ball to Bellamy who crossed for Bowyer to slide
home into an empty net from close range. It was barely what Newcastle deserved
but it did seem to settle the Premiership team's nerves.
And with Yeading forced to chase the game and superior fitness levels
beginning to tell it was inevitable when Newcastle increased their lead in the
61st minute. This time Darren Ambrose flighting in a free-kick which saw Ameobi
rise to power a precise header past goalkeeper Preddie.
Newcastle could have had more but then Harper was also stung into action, a
flying fingertip save denying Darti Brown a last-minute consolation.
Yeading were wonderful. Newcastle were poor. That probably sums up this cup
tie which ended with Yeading taking a deserved lap of honour and manager Johnson
Hippolyte publicly thanking the club's support.
The dream is over. But no-one can say that they have not now heard of Yeading.

A church in northeast Georgia is defending its controversial decision to banish a 103-year-old woman from the congregation after she disagreed with the pastor.
Union Grove Baptist Church of Elberton released a statement on Friday saying Genora Hamm Biggs was displaying conduct 'detrimental' to others.
The outspoken centenarian had been a church member for 92 years but had a falling out with its pastor, Timothy Mattox, over worship practices that included laying hands on members.
Hamm Biggs, a retired teacher, said such activities aren't Baptist but were introduced at the church by Rev. Mattox, one of her former students.
Genora Hamm Biggs, known as the 'mother of the church,' has been going to Union Grove Baptist Church in Elberton since she joined it 92 years ago
'He is a holy sanctified minister or so he says. We voted him in and we didn't know it until he was there. We are Baptists and that's what we want to stay,' Biggs said.

'I was unhappy and shocked,' said Biggs. 'I joined the church when I was 11 years old.'
Also banned from the church was Hamm Biggs' grandson, Eliott Dye, a member for 30 years, and Kevin Hamm, an ordained minister who was also a member of the church.
Hamm said: 'I tried to talk with [Mattox] and he was just determined to say, 'You can't come over here, period.'
Hamm Biggs said despite the ban, she still considers herself a member of the congregation. She attended the Sunday service last weekend.
Hamm Biggs was left heartbroken after she received a letter in the mail from church members who banned her from stepping foot inside the church
Hamm Biggs explained: 'He told police he wanted to put us out, but the police told him 'you can't do that'
She told Fox Carolina: 'He told police he wanted to put us out, but the police told him 'you can't do that.'
In the letter, sent by certified mail, it was signed by members and officers of the Union Grove Baptist Church'
Hamm Biggs' name is etched on the side of the church, but she's been scarred by the entire bad experience
Elberton police officers say it is a civil matter and have not made any arrests.
The embattled centenarian, has, however, received the backing of quite a few of the church's 150 parishioners.
Ezell Land, who used to be a deacon at the church, said the Hamm Biggs' family literally founded the church. He said quite simply: 'It's not right!'
'They brought it here on a mule and a wagon from the country when I was a little boy,' Land said.
Land also attended the church for 56 years before he decided to leave after a run-in with the pastor over his singing.
'Every time I would get up, the pastor would get up and make remarks when I sang and stuff. So, I just got my hat and I left,' he said.
Shataphy Baugns wrote: 'This is a disgrace to all the children of God....The devil is what you serve @ this church bless the elder lady soul. I pray God keep her covered and give her strength from the hurt she felt with this ridiculous decision made by this pastor.'
Scott Allen wrote: 'I have never heard of such an act in all my life. It's bad enough that non believer are attacking us believers, but to hear of this kind of action is shame.
'Those who signed that mean letter should apologize and allow Miss Hamm Biggs back into the church. Make things right again. This is not your house, it is God's House.'
