CLCAC
I have been lucky to spend 5 weeks during January and February working with the Land and Sea Management team at Carpentaria Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (CLCAC) as part of the Aurora Native Title Internship Program. The program places university students and graduates with organisations that support Indigenous native title rights and/or work in Indigenous affairs more generally. As a Masters student in Conservation and Land Management, I was initially unsure in what capacity I would be working to support the team at CLCAC, and how the work would be linked to Indigenous native title.
Through my time at CLCAC I have come to appreciate how these two areas are closely related. The work conducted by CLCAC's Ranger teams and supported by the Land and Sea Management team in Cairns is not just about achieving environmental objectives (which is achieved with great success) but also creates the unique opportunity for Indigenous communities to assert their ancient custodial responsibility to manage country. This work is achieved not only on exclusive native title land, but across tenures, building partnerships across the land management sector and within the community. Thus land management work also fulfils tangible Indigenous social and cultural objectives.
This is reflected in the enormous pride and personal satisfaction in their work expressed by the Rangers out in Normanton, where I was lucky to spend a week during my time with CLCAC. Having the opportunity to meet and briefly work with such highly skilled and passionate Indigenous Rangers was a highlight of my time at CLCAC.
My trip out to Normanton also allowed me to see firsthand the incredible landscape that the Rangers work so hard to protect. As we travelled across an Indigenous owned pastoral station with one of the Rangers, we saw woodlands, grassy swamps, wetlands and waterholes teeming with bird life, including water bird roosting sites, mangrove forests, estuaries, saltmarshes and mud flats. We were able to see real differences in the landscape where the Rangers had conducted weed control and pest exclusion works, demonstrating the capacity for the works to have significant impacts even within a year or two. I was impressed both by how spectacular the landscape was, and surprised that the region does not receive more recognition for its precious biodiversity and outstanding natural beauty.
I feel very appreciative for the opportunity that I've had to work with such a friendly and supportive group of people, and for all that I've learnt from the team at CLCAC. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience to be able to contribute to such a great program and organisation.
I was really amazed to see how TAI combines academia and culture when teaching the students. It's a wonderful methodology where one compliments the other perfectly. The commitment shown by the Elders and TAI staff is integral to TAI's success. It was inspiring and humbling to be a part of this for a short time.

Thanet Part 18: Churches of Minster, Thorne Hill & Cliffsend
< Back 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next >
YOUR PICTURE GALLERY IS NOW LOADING...
St Mildred's Catholic Church is on the eastern side of St Mildred's Road, a little way north of the junction with the High Street and also partially visible from the High Street. St Mildred 'the Virgin' was abbess of Minster-in-Thanet in the late seventh century. Daughter of Merewalh of the Herefordshire Saxons, St Mildred Bread Street in the City of London was dedicated to her. This church existed by the time of the OS 25-inch map of 1892-1914 but today is a private residence.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Minster-in-Thanet, stands in a large church yard at the south-east corner of Church Street and Station Road. The Wantsum marshes lie only a hundred metres or so to the south (beyond the railway). There was almost certainly an early Kentish royal vill here (and before that a Roman villa). Around AD 670 the site became a monastery for nuns and remained as such with interruptions in the 800s until destroyed by the Danes in 1011.
Alternatively known as the 'Cathedral of the Marshes', the church was given to St Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury about 1030, and it is likely that a multi-phased Anglo-Saxon church underlies the present building. No pre-Norman work seems to survive in this present building, which was erected in the late 1000s to 1100s. Rebuilds and extensions occurred in the 1200s-1400s while the tower was added in the later 1100s. The Tudors and Victorians added their own touches.
Minster Abbey is situated along much of the northern side of Church Street, flanked by Bedlam Court Lane on its eastern side, and within sight of St Mary's Church (above). Ermenburga, a great-granddaughter of Ethelbert of Kent, came to Thanet from Mercia in the middle of the 600s to set up up the abbey as St Mildred's (Benedictine) Priory. Initially this was on the site of the church until it was re-established on its present site in AD 741 by the third abbess.
Holy Trinity Chapel, Thorne Hill, is on the northern side (the left-hand side of this aerial photo) of the set of buildings that forms Thorne Farm, on the eastern side of Thorne Hill, immediately north-west of Cliffsend. The chapel was built in the 1300s, complete with a chantry that gained several local areas of land to support it. The Dissolution spelled the end for the chapel which eventually became ruinous and was rebuilt in the 1800s to form the present cottage.
St Mary the Virgin Church, Cliffsend, is on the west side of Foads Lane, midway between the turnoffs for Cliffs End Road and Cottington Road. The building began in 1871 as Cliffsend Primitive Methodist Chapel. The Methodist union of 1932 made it redundant and it was soon being rented by the Church of England. The church purchased it outright in 1956 and it remains in use as such today, having more recently been reordered and refurbished for modern needs.

Fail Better Podcast
Learning to fail better one product at a time
002: Pete Deemer on MVPs
Listen to the episode here
Andy Deemer: [00:00:10] Hi, my name is Andy Deemer, and you are listening to the Fail Better podcast. Everyone else talks to amazing product managers and legendary startup CEOs about their hugest successes. Enh! I'd rather learn about the failures, so we can avoid making their mistakes with our products. Well this is the Fail Better Podcast, where I get those same great product leaders to open up about where they screwed up, and what they should have done instead. Today I'm talking to a great CEO. The first company he co-founded, GameSpot, is still one of the biggest and best videogame websites in the world. He ran all product for Yahoo! Emerging Markets as their Chief Product Officer for years. Now he's the founder and CEO of the global agile training and consulting company, GoodAgile. He's also my big brother. His name is Pete Deemer, and Pete, thank you for coming on the Fail Better Podcast.
Pete Deemer: Hey!
Andy: Tell me, in your 25 years of running tech companies, what are you most proud of?
Pete: [00:01:15] Definitely GameSpot. It was and is a great product and the fact that it's still in existence, twenty one years after it's founding.
Andy: [00:01:24] Yeah that is pretty remarkable. It's funny that ZDNet acquired GameSpot, and a lot of it was shut down by their parent companies. GameSpot, meanwhile is still this huge influential brand. What was it like having a bunch of executives coming in and bossing you around?
Pete: You know they didn't really do that. I mean, in a funny way, we took over ZDNet more than they took over GameSpot. My two co-founders and I all moved into pretty senior roles in product management at ZDNet. And over time managed a bigger and bigger chunk of their product line.
Andy: Swallowing the fish that's trying to swallow you guys.
Pete: Yeah.
Andy: But that's not what we're here to talk about. So this Fail Better Podcast. What company are we actually here to talk about?
Pete: [00:02:12] Well, looking back – so I've been involved in entrepreneurial ventures for almost 25 years now, and I've done successful startups and unsuccessful startups. But the one that I look back on and feel like I learned from was a small company called Tekadence, and in the space of about a year managed to drive the company into the ground. So–
Andy: Before we get there, tell me the original–
Pete: or rather than say "drive it into the ground," I think it's probably more accurate to say I was one of the pilots when it flew into the ground.
Andy: [00:02:54] Let's slow down a little bit. What was the pitch. What was the original company pitch.
Pete: [00:03:00] Well, so the company Tekadence was started by two co-founders. One had been founder of a company called iFilm, and the other was a technology person who had worked at Adobe and worked on After Effects.
Andy: [00:03:15] He was one of the creators of Adobe After Effects, wasn't he?
Pete: [00:03:18] Yeah. The two of them had come together and founded Tekadence. It was a small company, still a dozen people, and the idea was it was going to be a visual tool to enable people to very rapidly develop Java Desktop Applications without writing code.
Andy: To use a buzz word of that time, like a WYSIWYG Java application?
Pete: Yeah, sort of a WYSIWYG development for Java applications. So the two founders had approached myself and my GameSpot cofounders about an angel investing in the company, and they had a great demo and told a great story, and we put in a little bit of money. I was feeling increasingly bored in the larger company environment of CNET, and starting to look around for other things to do. And Tekadence had what I thought was a really cool product and a team that was starting to kind of flail a little bit, and they needed stronger executive leadership. I decided to make the leap from CNET to become CEO and try to turn the company around, and raise a real round of funding and bring the product to market. The situation when I got there was the product development for the one-dot-oh release was in its latter stages, but the company was running very short of money. So my first job was to raise enough funding to get through the product release and then attempt to raise a larger round that would enable us to market the product aggressively and grow the company aggressively.
Andy: [00:05:01] And how did that go?
Pete: [00:05:03] Well, um, you know, it was very interesting. One of the first days I was on the job, I took the senior team for a meeting that I had set up with a senior person at a major enterprise software company in the valley. This company, I felt, was a prospective investor in Tekadence. The contact there was a friend of a friend. The senior team and I went in and sat down and gave a demo of the product, talked about the strategy, and this person we were presenting to just tore it to shit. He explained with amazing clarity and amazing brutality exactly why the product was not what the market wanted, and why as a business we were doomed to fail. It was one of the most painful single hours of my career. We walked out kind of stunned. And obviously in that situation, all of us had placed major bets on this. I mean, the two founders of the company had spent the previous two years working, you know, night and day to build this product. I had just left a pretty senior position at CNET and had invested some of my own money in this company and, you know, your first reaction in that situation is to try to discredit the critic. And so sort of on the drive back afterwards it was like, "Ah, he doesn't know what he's talking about. They're threatened by what they see us building, and this is a negotiating tactic. They want us to believe that what we're building isn't worth anything, so they can negotiate a better deal on the investment." And so we came up with the whole litany of reasons why this was… this guy was full of shit. In hindsight, the guy was not full of shit at all, and everything he told us was absolutely correct. Our reaction to that meeting was arguably the single biggest mistake we made during my tenure as CEO because, you know, had we taken a step back and said, "As painful as it is, this guy may very well be right. And before we do anything else we need to validate that. We need to figure out, is what he's saying correct or not. Because if what he's saying is correct and continuing down the path that we're going, is absolutely the worst thing we could do." You know at that point there was still the possibility, however remote, of a pivot. Six months later, when we released the product, there was no possibility of it. We did not have the money in the bank still to continue. So I think our reaction to that hand-grenade that was dropped in our laps was to cover our eyes and pray that he was wrong, which I think is a natural reaction but it's also the worst possible thing we could have done at that point.
Andy: [00:08:00] But you must have shown it to other people in the industry and other potential investors. Did they have different feedback?
Pete: [00:08:07] We did, and you know, we showed it to other folks and what we got was sort of a tepid response, which we interpreted at the time as "They just don't quite get it." Which, I think in hindsight was actually, they were probably thinking many of the things that we have been told in that first meeting but they didn't have the spirit, or the candor, or the cruel streak to tell us quite so bluntly. In hindsight, over, you know, many years as an angel investor, and as a senior person at Yahoo!, we would just have a constant stream of start ups coming through the door pitching Yahoo! on investments or partnerships, and so often you're in that meeting, you see these poor startup founders pitching you their idea, and they they've spent maybe years working on, and they put every penny to their name into it, and it would so obviously just be such a nothing burger of a product. You'd look at it and just kind of cringe. But of course you didn't want to be a jerk and so you'd say, "Ah, it's an interesting thing. I don't think it's a good fit for us right now, but we encourage you to come back to us, you know, in six months and show us what you've done." And so it was the polite kiss-off.
Andy: [00:09:27] A lot of times, from start ups that I've worked on, when you're showing it to people for the first time you think, "Well, you know, there's still some rough edges, and they're just put off by the rough edges, but we'll sort those out."
Pete: [00:09:39] Yeah. That's definitely true. And, you know, as a founder, it's like you've got this vision in your head of how amazing the product is going to be. And at any given point you look at the product and it does have so many rough edges and it's so far from that wonderful vision in your head that, when you show to somebody and they're not instantly wowed, your thought is, kind of like, "Well, if they could only see the vision in my head, then they'd be wowed. And when we get the product to the point of the vision in my head, then they will be wowed, and the fact that they're not wowed now, it's not valid evidence of anything, because they're not seeing the real thing." And part of the problem is that, I think, in any product development, the essential characteristics of a product do actually become visible very early on. The rough edges are there, but the essential characteristics are actually visible. And if you can't grab someone's attention with those essential characteristics, then that's a major, major red flag. You know one of the characteristics of great entrepreneurs and — you know, not just entrepreneurs, but great leaders at big companies, too – is their ability to not believe the lies they're telling themselves about how everything's going to be good and this product will be successful. It's almost taking that paranoid opposite position of being convinced that what you're creating has deep flaws in it, that you just can't see, and having the courage and the discipline to figure out what those flaws are, and get them fixed. It is the biggest trap that you can fall into is as a founder.
Andy: So you guys ignored the advice and disregarded people with tepid responses and just churned forward toward the release?
Pete: [00:11:31] Yeah. Worked day and night, and were convinced that once the product was done, that it would be an instant hit. And I think… this was the other kind of classic founder mistake we made, was belief that our product is so great that viral popularity will propel it to success. And again that's just a wonderful dream, but it's kind of like somebody dreaming of being a movie star and saying, "Well, if I can just get on the bus to Hollywood. When I get off the bus, I will be discovered. I've just got to figure out a way to get to Hollywood. And then everything else will sort itself out." You know, the reality, of course, is you step off the bus and that's when the real hard work begins. That's when the real struggle starts. And, of course, so we released the product and had some really cool early successes. A speaking slot at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which was very cool. I got to demo the product on stage with Steve Jobs standing off, you know, on the wings the stage.
Andy: Wow.
Pete: Yeah. You know we gave a great demo, and we got a great response. People liked what they saw, but it was more like, "Huh, that's cool, but it's not something that I actually need, or will use."
Andy: Who was the target market?
Pete: Well, and that's a big part of the problem, is that we created this hypothesis that there was a large number of people out there, who wanted to build desktop applications using Java, and they didn't have a tool, and they needed a tool to do it. There actually weren't that many people that wanted to build desktop applications in Java. The people who did want to build desktop applications in Java were typically developers, for whom the WYSIWYG was a nice convenience. But the way Tekadence Magic worked is that basically it generated the code, but the code was not actually editable. It was essentially a black box that got output at the end of the development process. And the people who actually needed to develop Java Desktop applications, which was already a kind of vanishingly small market, those people needed the ability to get hands on with the code itself which the tool couldn't do. And the people for whom the black box output wouldn't have been an issue, essentially non-technical users, really didn't have a whole lot of need to be building applications. So it was… in recounting it now, I just kind of shudder with embarrassment at how wrong we were about so many things. This is one of the rare instances where I think we got every single thing wrong. Normally you get a couple of big things wrong, and that's what screws you. Here we got everything wrong.
Andy: Give me a solid example.
Pete: There wasn't really a market, of any size. So that's strike one against you. Huge strike one against you. The small market that we could serve, the product didn't really serve them particularly well. And we bet everything on viral success. And we didn't have a Plan B for what happens if that viral success doesn't appear magically by itself. And, you know, those are three of a number of other terrible mistakes.
Andy: How many copies did you sell.
Pete: [00:15:07] I think like four.
Andy: These were– these were large enterprise licenses, for like $20,000 each?
Pete: Oh no, no, no. These were like four copies at like 500 bucks each.
Andy: Oh. [Awkwardly laughing.]
Pete: I know.
Andy: How did that feel, when you released it and you sold four copies?
Pete: [00:15:30] Well, you know, here's the funny thing I've learned. And this actually is a really profound realization for any startup founder. Success, when you achieve it, doesn't feel nearly as good as you thought it would. And failure, when it happens, doesn't feel nearly as bad as you thought it would. You know, with GameSpot, it's like we worked night and day for several years, building this product, making it successful. We got recognition, pretty quickly, and we sold the company, you know, making all of us — I mean, not rich by Silicon Valley standards — but by normal human standards, you know, we did very well. But in the final analysis, you kind of feel the same. And with Tekadence, you know, the great fear — I mean I had never experienced true failure before. You know, GameSpot had been almost an instant hit, I mean, from the first couple months after we launched the product, and then with Tekadence it was like, "Oh shit, we're going to crash and burn here." And I realized pretty quickly that things were not on a good trajectory. You know, but when it happened, and when you make– when you tell everybody, "Hey, we're out of money, we're closing the doors." You dread that moment. But then when it comes, it's painful, and really sad and really disappointing in the moment, but then, you know, the next day you wake up, and you say, "Okay, what am I going to do next?"
Andy: [00:17:09] I want to hear about the day that you closed it down, but what did you guys try to do before that? Was there tinkering? Were there pivots?
Pete: [00:17:19] No, I mean part of the problem is that we had raised enough money from angels, and sort of nonprofessional investors, to be able to finish the product development and release it. And our hope was that with the finished product in hand, it would start to get traction with customers, and that we could use that finished product and early traction to be able to go out and raise professional money. So when the product was released, and it just didn't get traction, all of a sudden we had no money in the bank and no realistic chance of raising money. And there just wasn't any room to pivot. I mean it rapidly became pretty clear that unless everybody at the company was willing to work for free, there was just no path forward. And again, had the product shown early signs of success, and had it really started to get traction, I think we could have managed to get past a period of no money in the bank, and not being able to make payroll — just because people had invested so much of their- you know, they'd put so much heart and soul into the product. I think we could have made it past it. But when it really wasn't getting traction, I think everybody realized around about the same time, that this just wasn't going anywhere.
Andy: [00:18:53] A lot of start ups, it seems like the team behind them really believed that there's going to be world domination, or at least a world-changing effect of the start startup. But this one, it sounds like pretty quickly things were just on a downhill trajectory.
Pete: [00:19:11] Yeah, well, it's– with any startup, you're starting with a mental picture of success and because there is no actual physical reality to back that up, it's by definition an exercise in, kind of, collective fantasy or a mass psychosis among the people involved. "Yes, we are a successful startup, even though we have nothing to show for the success, because success is coming." And you can preserve that fantasy and that mindset, and use kind of small successes to bolster it. And so for example getting chosen to present at WWDC, that was like evidence that, "Yes, this is going somewhere." And getting a big round of applause after we gave our demo there. It's like, "That's more evidence!" There is this great quote from Mike Tyson: "Everybody's got a plan, until they get a punch in the face." Coming to the market and getting that punch in the face, all of a sudden you realize, "Oh shit, we've been lying to ourselves without realizing it for all this time. What are we going to do now?" The funny thing is, with GameSpot, you know, we did basically the same thing. We had this vision, "We believe this can be successful." We built the product, we launched it, and it was successful. And in a funny way, GameSpot as my first startup taught me all sorts of terrible lessons. If you believe in your idea, and you deliver on your vision, it will succeed. And Tekadence was almost like the anti-GameSpot, in that it showed us the reality actually that is much more common in that scenario, which is that you're wrong. When you realize you're wrong, unless you're prepared for that, you're screwed.
Andy: [00:20:56] Do you think you could have saved the company, with all that you know now? If you had just listened to that first potential investor?
Pete: [00:21:03] Ye- well, no. I don't think we could have saved the company. I think we could have saved ourselves and our investors a lot of money and some amount of time. You know, short of taking everything that had been done, throwing most of it away, and starting over — that's the only thing that could possibly have saved us. But in that situation, we wouldn't have done that within Tekadence. If we had a better idea that was something completely different, we would have just done that from the get go. Yeah. No, I- you know, the basic mistake I made with Tekadence as an investor, and later as CEO, was failing to do due diligence on the idea and the strategy, and, you know, allowing hopeful optimism to trump a careful scrutiny of the reality of the situation.
Andy: [00:21:55] If you were going back in time and giving yourself a book or a tool, or a book and a tool, what would you give yourself?
Speaker2: [00:22:03] This sounds like a fairly uncreative answer, but frankly if I had read the book The Lean Startup before doing Tekadence… I think that book would have given me the strategies to recognize the reality of our situation much sooner. One of the key takeaways that I took from The Lean Startup is that every startup is a whole long list of assumptions that will make or break your company. There is a market, they have a need, and our product is going to satisfy that need, and we can make money satisfying that need. You've got those core assumptions that will make or break your company, and every startup founder believes that they're going to satisfy all of those core assumptions. But the reality is, actually, chances are, that you've got multiple of those assumptions wrong, and until you figure out which ones you've got wrong, you're on the path to failure. So you have to kind of start off assuming all of them are wrong, and then systematically validating each one, one by one, as quickly as possible and continuing to validate them as often as possible, and that's where the whole idea of the minimum viable product comes up, is that the only real validation for any of these assumptions is going to come in the form of a real product in the hands of real customers. And so designing your company not to produce a product, but designing your company to validate these core assumptions early and often, by getting a product in the hands of customers as early, and evolving it as often in order to optimize those key assumptions. I think that's really the key. So it's a whole mindset shift. It's like approaching your startup with a deep skepticism, and still having that great hope and great faith, but balancing it with a deep skepticism that we're getting something wrong. And even if we get the other assumptions right, just getting one of these core assumptions wrong is going to doom us. So we've got to figure out which one do we have wrong as soon as possible, and get it right.
Andy: [00:24:11] I love his anecdotes about these insane bootstrapped MVPs, like I don't know if you remember the Zappos founder driving over to his local shoe store to buy each pair of shoes over the counter and boxing him up and mailing them out to his customers, just to prove whether people would buy shoes online before he built the whole back end and delivery service. That was an MVP! He's got some other great anecdotes in there.
Pete: [00:24:36] Yeah. Well, there's a great quote, I don't know if it's in Lean Startup or somebody commenting about it, but it's, "If you're not embarrassed by your MVP, you've waited too long to release it."
Andy: That's great.
Pete: Yeah, which is so hard. As a founder, you have this vision, and you've talked this vision up to so many people. To employees, to investors, to your friends and family. You worry, like, "Ah, if we put something out there that looks like crap, we're not going to be able to raise money. Or employees are going to lose hope. Yadda yadda yadda yadda." It's kind of like as a founder, having the courage to get an MVP out there, something that does look like crap, but is an effective vehicle for testing those key assumptions. And also having the selling ability to convince people that what you see is not what you're eventually going to get. That this is just a test. Probably the most successful startup I've been involved with was a company I was a product adviser to them. It was a company called Expert City, and it was a professor out of UC Santa Barbara. He had developed this technology for a secure screen sharing. And they came up with this idea, they were going to build a market place for tech support where if you had a problem, you would log on this marketplace, and you could see tech support people who were online, and give them access to your machine, and they'd fix the problem. And it was a great concept. They launched with essentially a minimum viable product, and very quickly learned that several of their key assumptions were utterly wrong. One of the most key assumptions was that people would feel comfortable turning their machine over to a stranger over the net. They could easily have continued down the path and said, "Well, we're going to market and message our way around this problem. We're going to convince people it's okay, it's just a matter of people getting used to the idea." But they had the courage to back up and say, "We're headed in the wrong direction here." They went back to the drawing board and they came back about six months later with a new product, which was GoToMyPC, which was more successful — but not even quite at the level that they had been hoping for. So they went back again, and came back with GoToMeeting, which of course has been phenomenally successful. And they were eventually bought by Citrix for $350 million, something like that. So that, I point to, as kind of the best example I've been involved with of an MVP that led to a major pivot, and not just one, but really essentially two pivots, and ultimately built something that was hugely influential and very successful, very popular, and made everybody a lot of money.
Andy: [00:27:21] Well, so everyone who hasn't read The Lean Startup needs to go out there, go to failbetterpodcast.com and click the link there so I can make 10 cents from that purchase. As we're talking about books and GameSpot, I'm suddenly reminded, when Osama bin Laden was executed or killed, what was found in his last hideout?
Pete: [00:27:46] Yeah, well, this was in the press reports, this is just insane, they were talking about items that were recovered by the SEAL team and brought back for the intelligence folks to analyze. One of them was a GameSpot strategy guide. I don't even know what game it was for, but—
Andy: It was for Delta Force Extreme 2.
Pete: Oh my god, that's so crazy.
Andy: How did you feel when you read about that?
Pete: Just aghast. Hahahah. The only word I could think of.
Andy: How about tool? Is a tool that you would have recommended your old self use?
Pete: [00:28:26] I would say, actually, two tools. One tool that I actually really like is – it's a rapid prototyping tool called Balsamiq. That's like balsamic but with a "q" at the end. It's a really nice tool for rapidly sketching user interfaces, and you can use it to think through product flows, and build paper prototypes. It's cool because you can sketch out UIs, but it actually draws the UIs — all of the lines are essentially in crayon — so it's easy to see that it's just a sketch. We're not looking at a polished UI. But it's great, especially for non-technical folks, to sketch things out.
Andy: Yeah, I love Balsamiq. What's the other tool?
Pete: [00:29:15] It's not really a tool. It's a technique called The Pomodoro Technique. It's a time management technique that I personally have found incredibly useful. It's just a way of reducing task-switching, and maximizing focus.
Andy: [00:29:31] It's basically setting a kitchen timer for half an hour and then taking a five minute break?
Pete: [00:29:37] Yeah. It's a little a little bit more than that, but not much more than that. And then, obviously, I mean this I think probably goes without saying, but you know Agile practices like Scrum especially. You know, I can't imagine you'd have a startup in this day and age that wasn't using those practices either in name or just naturally following them, even if you don't call it quote Agile. If I were to do another startup, those would all be key parts of the core practices.
Andy: [00:30:08] Who would you want to hear talk about their biggest product fail?
Pete: [00:30:16] You know, I think talking to Sean Parker would be super interesting, because here's a guy who has a track record of amazing successes, Napster, and his involvement with Facebook, and also amazingly public disasters, like the unveiling of Airtime, four or five years ago or whatever it is now. He's a guy who has really gone to both ends of the extreme of success and failure. I think he'd be a fascinating person to talk to
Andy: I will reach out to him. Pete, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to your brother about Tekadence Magic. As well as Gamespot and GoodAgile, which we didn't really cover. But everyone should check out GoodAgile, and check out The Scrum Primer. The Agile Primer?
Pete: Scrum Primer.
Andy: Scrum Primer! That's the book that everyone should read. I'll put up a link to that at FailBetterPodcast.com.
Pete: [00:31:19] I'm not going to pay you 10 cents though.
Andy: [00:31:22] Hahaha. Ok thanks, Pete.
Pete: Actually, I will.
Andy: Thank you, Pete. And thank you, listener, for listening to the Fail Better Podcast. Again, I'm Andy Deemer and you can find the website at FailBetterPodcast.com. I'm putting up links to all the books and tools that'll help you build better products, and with the pennies that I get in affiliate fees you can support this podcast. Now I do Twitter at Andy Deemer, I do LinkedIn at Andy Deemer, Facebook at Fail Better Podcast. Our theme music was composed by the wonderful Yuri Sazonoff.

MEXICO CITY – Details of the third phase of the Round One oil and gas offerings will be released next week, with 29 onshore areas in five states to be auctioned off, the Mexican Energy Secretariat said.
The auction rules for the areas in Chiapas, Nuevo Leon, Tabasco, Tamaulipas and Veracruz states will be made public on May 12, the secretariat said in a statement.
Contracts covering the areas included in the third phase of the auction process will be awarded in November.
The auction provides an "opportunity for Mexican companies, both existing and newly created ones, to operate in fields of this type," giving them the experience needed to "enter more complex areas in future rounds," the secretariat said.
Two phases of Round One have been presented so far, covering 169 oil exploration and production blocks.
The first phase of Round One, which began last December, included 14 shallow-water exploration blocks in a 4,222-sq.-kilometer (1,630-sq.-mile) area off the coasts of the southeastern states of Veracruz, Tabasco and Campeche.
A total of 42 companies paid the fees to obtain the auction documents and 31 filed the forms to be pre-qualified to bid on the contracts to be awarded on July 15.
The second phase of the Round One oil and gas offerings started in February and covered nine shallow-water fields in the Gulf of Mexico, with the results scheduled to be released on Sept. 30.
Eight of the 22 companies that requested access to the auction documents actually paid to register to bid in the second phase.
The fields to be awarded are located in a 281-sq.-kilometer (108-sq.-mile) area off the coasts of the southeastern states of Tabasco and Campeche, and contain reserves estimated at 671 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The auction is the product of a 2013 overhaul that opened Mexico's oil and gas industry to private investment for the first time since 1938.
The government is looking to the energy overhaul to attract tens of billions of dollars in investment and reverse a roughly 30 percent decline in Mexico's oil output, which peaked at 3.38 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2004 and currently stands at roughly 2.43 million bpd.
State-owned oil company Petroleos Mexicanos reserved 83 percent of Mexico's proven and probable reserves and 21 percent of potential reserves for itself in a so-called "Zero Round" of non-competitive bidding last year.

A couple of weeks ago Nate and I had a nice little date night at home to watch a Harry Potter movie. I made all kinds of goodies from Butter Beer popcorn to Pumpkin Pasties. I also made mugs of Hot Butter Beer, which was delicious, and I promised to share the recipe with all of you.
Today, on this cold, drizzling day, perfect for snuggling on the couch and watching movies, I'm finally sharing my recipe. I'm sure you're wondering what it tastes like. Well, do you like pralines? I know that's sort of a Southern thing so you may have never tasted it in your life.
Play our fun Harry Potter edition of Movie Binge Bingo! Just mark off each item that happens in the Harry Potter movie you're watching! You decide if it's just one row, a square, blackout or more, to win! Click the image below to get FREE 10 Bingo Cards perfect for binge-watching Harry Potter movies!
Hmm, I'm thinking. Ok, do you like penuche or brown sugar fudge? That stuff is so good. It melts in your mouth into this delicious tasting yumminess. Well, that is what I'm reminded of when I drink Hot Butter Beer. It tastes just as rich as that brown sugar fudge, so much that I can only drink one mug of this stuff.
It's perfect for cold weather or turning out the lights and watching the Christmas tree lights flicker. Your kids are going to love this! Now that my three have had a taste, they snuggle up to me and sweetly ask for me to make it.
This recipe will make about 4 mugs of Hot Butter Beer.
Combine milk, butter, and brown sugar and whisk together. Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes.
Stir and heat for an additional 3-4 minutes until milk is foaming.
Remove from microwave and whisk together until the butter is well mixed in and sugar is completely dissolved.
Heat hot butterscotch topping for 30 seconds. Then, stir in 2 tablespoons of hot butterscotch into the milk mixture until completely dissolved.
Top with Hot Butterscotch Whipped Cream.
I beat together 2 tablespoons of hot butterscotch topping and 1 cup of whipping cream until soft peaks form. Then, I spoon is on top of each drink and stir just a little to get it to melt into the Butter Beer. Then, I add the dash of cinnamon.
Do you have a favorite Harry Potter book or movie?
Make a Wizard Want — from Paper!
That looks really good. I love butterscotch.
Really cute idea! And it sounds yummy. Fun for a Harry Potter themed party too!
Oh that looks yummy! I love cream soda!
At first I thought "butter in your beer"? But then saw it was kid-friendly. May have to try it!
This seems like a pretty neat drink to try out for the kids when the adults are drinking cousins Shari's eggnog! I have definitely got to try it out.
Oh man. I love Harry Potter. This sounds awesome!
I can't imagine any Harry Potter lover who wouldn't want to sip on mug of that!
Being part of the HP generation, I can't even tell you how excited this recipe made me, haha. It tastes exactly how I'd imagined it would in the books. Thank you so much!
SUPER DELICIOUS! thought it would be a little too sweet but it was perfect, the whipped topping with the butterscotch was the perfect touch. The whole family LOVED it and I will definitely make again soon!
Nevermind, I didn't see that right away. Is this still just as good tasting cold and without the whipped cream?
When microwaving (as mentioned in the first few steps), should it be on medium high, high or low?
I did it on high, and our microwave is one of the higher wattage ones. But, microwaves vary, so just keep a watch because milk can bubble up quick.
We just tried this and it's amazing! I think next time if we aren't planning to have it as dessert, I'll cut down a little on the butter, add a little more cream soda, and maybe a splash of run! Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Yum! Very easy recipe. I found it way too sweet, but I dilute my regular soda, so I guess it depends on individual tastes. Next time I'll cut the brown sugar and replace half the cream soda with more milk.
Hi, I'm Aussie and cream soda comes in at least three different colours and slightly different flavours here, what does your cream soda look and taste like?
It's a golden amber clear color.
Hi! Making this for my Sweet 16 this weekend, and I'm wondering, is it bad reheated? Or cold?
Thus sounds amazing. Definitely going to try over the coming chilly months. One question… Is the butter salted or unsalted? Thanks!
This almost nails the Universal version! I may try substituting an imitation butter flavoring rather than the actual butter to try to keep it from separating a bit, though. I did not top with the whipped cream for this occasion, but I am now tempted to mix up a batch to easily take to work and just heat as needed. Delicious!!
That's good to know! I've never been to Universal, but hoping some day to see the Wizarding World!
Definitely, missing something. Not as rich as Universals's, a little too watery.
I want to make this for a party but am wondering if it "sits" a while (say, an hour), will it need to continually be stirred to prevent separation or anything? I want to have a big pot of it simmering to serve as people request it and then add in the whipped cream as each are poured. Can't wait to try it!
I honestly don't know if you double or triple it. When I make this recipe, it does have extra and it probably sits for an hour and seems fine. I usually stir it up again when giving refills, and it's fine.
Awesome recipe! We added some salted caramel crown royal and it was fantastic!
Stephanie, it looks awesome! So much flavors packed on this recipe that makes this simply irresistible, definitely having this on my table!
Stephanie, this was wonderful! Never knew that those flavors would come out as they did in this beautiful dish! Follow the recipe word for word!!!
I'm so glad to here!


But can you actually do it? Over and over and over? Until it feels as natural as breathing, when it becomes the thing you just do?
Thus are reputations made. And reputation is the stuff really great brands and careers are made of.
The video is from this crazy Japanese site--also has vids of tying ties, shining shoes, and magic tricks.
Not sure what the company is, but all around awesome videos!

How to write in the right way
by Emily
(Devon)
Question: I want to write a romance novel about someone who every day deals with everyone else's problems but cannot deal with her own love life problems. I don't know how to tell the story if that makes sense? First, second or third person? What is best when it is about the character who causes and solves the problems? Is it best writing the book from their point of view or having a narrator?
Answer: It's standard practice in romance fiction to tell the story from the point of view of the female lead (with the male lead often as a secondary point-of-view character). You want your reader to empathize with the main character, which is harder to do if you are using an omniscient narrator or having a third character as narrator.
So that means writing from the female lead's point of view using either first person narration or limited third person.
I'm guessing the story goal in this case will be for her to conceive a new idea - the idea that it is okay for her to look after herself, not just other people. The male lead, as impact character, would be someone who knows how to look after his own interests, or to look after others without sacrificing his own interests.
(In fact, from his point of view, she could help him learn to think more about other people while, from her point of view, he could teach her to look after her own needs. Each would be impact character to the other, and their relationship would be about finding the balance.)
Just a suggestion.

UNSC strongly condemns terrorist attack in Egypt
Sat, 21 Oct 2017 - 11:54 GMT
Wide view of the United Nations Security Council - UN Photo
CAIRO – 22 October 2017: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) condemned the terrorist attack that took place Friday in Egypt's Western Desert, according to a press statement issued on Saturday. The UNSC also expressed its deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and to the government of Egypt, and they wished a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured.
Furthermore, the UNSC members underlined the need to bring the perpetrators and sponsors of such reprehensible acts to justice. "Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security," reaffirmed the UNSC members.
"Any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed," they reiterated.
The UNSC members also underlined the need for all UN member states to combat by all means any threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts in accordance with the UN Charter, the international human rights law, international refugee law and international humanitarian law.
According to the Ministry of Interior, 17 security officers were killed during clashes with militants in the Western Desert early Saturday. The ministry also reported the killing of 15 militants. Security forces controlled the areas and are continuing the search for fleeing attackers. The ministry urged media outlets to validate information before sharing it to the public to avoid unwanted repercussions.

AGSL wins Cygnus job from GDF SUEZ
Asset Guardian Solutions Ltd (AGSL), which specialises in critical control software asset protection for the process and manufacturing industry, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by GDF SUEZ E&P UK Ltd, a North Sea oil and gas operator.
AGSL will provide GDF SUEZ with a customised Asset Guardian tool set, its fully configurable process software management programme. The tool set will enhance management and security of all process control software that GDF SUEZ will use to manage all assets associated with the Cygnus Project, the largest undeveloped gas discovery in the Southern North Sea in 25 years.
Located 150 kilometres off the coast of Lincolnshire, the Cygnus field has a gross 2P (proved and probable) reserves of approximately 18 billion cubic metres. First gas is targeted for late 2015.
By installing Asset Guardian, all Cygnus-related GDF SUEZ software and data will be stored in one central repository, which improves workflow and reduces risk. It also dramatically speeds recovery of software and data in the event of a system failure, significantly reducing impact upon the project, as well as future operations and production.
One of the key benefits of Asset Guardian for GDF SUEZ is its ability to manage changes to software configurations, and log all system faults and overrides. This capability means that while the Cygnus project is being commissioned, engineers and management will receive up-to-the-minute status reports on all activities taking place throughout this critical phase.
Asset Guardian protects process software by restricting access to it. This is achieved by managing and storing all process system passwords so that only authorised GDF SUEZ personnel is allowed to change software configurations. Managing and controlling this risk is important to GDF SUEZ in operating Cygnus.
As the Cygnus project progresses, and as process hardware and software are acquired, a comprehensive inventory of all hardware and software, along with associated documentation and correspondence will be kept up-to-date in a Systems Asset Register of Asset Guardian.
The contract from GDF SUEZ follows on the heels of several key awards from North Sea operators, further strengthening AGSL's foothold in this dynamic region. AGSL also boosted its client portfolio with contracts from EDF Energy in Scotland, and Inpex and Woodside in Australia.
"This project marks another milestone for AGSL, as we continue to serve the oil and gas industry, both at home and abroad. We are extremely pleased to have been given the opportunity to make certain that GDF SUEZ is doing everything it can to protect the integrity of the process control software that it uses to operate the Cygnus Project," said Peter Beales, Business Development Manager for AGSL.

Magnum Revolvers: 6-, 7-, and 8-Shooters from Taurus, S&W
We test three 357 Magnum revolvers with different capacities for personal defense. We liked the Taurus revolvers the best, with the Model 66 and Model 608 hitting like heavyweights. So which won?
By Gun Tests Staff
The 357 Magnum revolver was introduced in 1935, first chambered in a big-frame revolver. When the handgun was introduced, it cost about $65. Yes, that's cheap at first glance, but a new car was less than a thousand dollars, and a good-quality 38 Special, 1911, or single-action revolver was available for $35. The Magnum offered sensational performance with twice the energy of the 38 Special. Penetration gave lawmen a handgun that would penetrate vehicles, and outdoorsmen had a handgun that would kill large game with a single shot. Perhaps some of the game taken with the Magnum was a bit of a stunt, but then a good shot may work wonders with a deep-penetrating bullet. Eventually, the 357 Magnum was chambered in lighter revolvers, including the Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Magnum. This revolver is basically a 38 Special with a lengthened and heat-treated cylinder. All 357 Magnums have the option of using 38 Special ammunition for training and practice. The consensus was that a K-frame revolver should be fired with twenty 38s for every Magnum cartridge. Small-frame revolvers do not crack frames, but they do crack forcing cones and small parts take a beating. For heavy use, a larger-frame revolver, like those tested here is preferred.
We tested three revolvers from Smith & Wesson and Taurus with slightly different configurations, but all with 4-inch barrels. They were the:
Smith & Wesson Classic Model 27 150339, an N-frame six shooter, the
Taurus Model 66 2-660041 K-frame, a seven shooter, and the
Taurus Model 608 2-608049, a big-frame stainless eight shooter.
Over time, the 357 Magnum has gone from an expensive specialist's revolver to everyman's magnum, and there's a range of choices to pick from in materials, barrel length, sights, and other options. These big-frame revolvers take a beating and keep going, but are sometimes slower from the holster and not as fast to get on target. But because of their weight and frame size, they are usually controllable in rapid fire. The new design large-frame revolvers also may be chambered for seven or eight magnums, and there is also a wider range of choices in handgun grips. Here's how we thought these particular wheelguns fared when fired side by side at the range:
Smith & Wesson Model 27 Classic 150339 38 Special/357 Magnum, $909
GUN TESTS GRADE: B-
The fit and finish of this handgun are flawless. Accuracy from the benchrest was very good. The grips are very attractive, but they are not the best design for handling magnum loads and during double-action fire. The trigger action was the big problem, very heavy.

This was our price at BudsGunShop.com. We ordered the Model 27 Classic with a 4-inch barrel. Even with the shorter barrel length, the piece tipped the scales at 44.5 ounces. This substantial weight results in an excellent balance and heightened comfort when firing full-power loads. The Model 27 was easily the most comfortable revolver to fire with hard-kicking loads. The revolver features a very nice blued finish, evenly applied, dark and faultless.
The Model 27 Classic features grips that are checkered and which feature the Smith & Wesson emblem in a small insert. Unlike most modern Smith & Wesson revolvers, which feature a round-butt frame that may be turned into a square butt with adaptor grips, the N-frame Model 27 features a true square butt. The top strap is nicely checkered, the same as original Model 27 revolvers. We really like this addition to the revolver. The fully adjustable sights are excellent. They are secured by a larger screw than previous revolvers, another good change. The front ramp sight offers a good sight picture. There are several departures from the earlier Model 27. The revolver features the new floating firing pin, but it isn't a transfer-bar system. The barrel is the modern two-piece type, and the Model 27 features an action lock. While we debated the accuracy of these features on a Classic revolver, they are what they are. The safety lock did not hinder us, and the two-piece barrel provided exceptional accuracy. This is simply a barrel with a shroud over the inner tube. The hammer and trigger are the wide target style, with a checkered hammer spur and serrated trigger face. The sideplate features a fourth screw in the manner that was discontinued in Model 27 production about 1955. This is a nice touch that adds to the Classic appearance. The Model 27 is a nicely finished and well-turned-out handgun. In appearance, it is flawless. At least, at first glance.
When our FFL logged the gun in, he opened the cylinder and wrote the serial number down in his log book. The serial number was covered with corrosion. Bluing salts left over, or poor storage? We have no idea, and although he offered to send it back, we kept the Model 27. A small amount of rust in this spot doesn't affect function, and otherwise, the revolver was perfectly acceptable in appearance. We carefully removed the small flecks of rust with a dental pick.
We were surprised, in a negative way, when we tried the double-action trigger. We have tried several modern L-frame revolvers and found good, smooth trigger actions. The Model 27 featured the heaviest double-action trigger action of any Smith & Wesson revolver we can recall. We estimated 20 pounds — it was off the scale of our trigger gauges. The single-action press felt very good, but was also heavy at 6 pounds even. We dry-fired the Smith & Wesson 100 times, and, frankly, it was tiring. There were no hard spots or gritty movement, simply weight. We placed lubricant in the action and dry fired in relays to the tune of 250 cycles. The revolver still did not smooth with use.
The revolvers were fired for combat accuracy first. Notably, the Smith & Wesson could be fully loaded eight times from a box of 50 cartridges with two left over, the Taurus M66, seven times with one left over, and the Taurus 608, six times with two left over. We used the Black Hills Ammunition 38 Special 158-grain rounds first, firing 50 rounds, and the Remington 158-grain lead SWC 357 Magnum 50 rounds as well. Velocity of the 38 Special load was 770 fps, and 1215 fps average for the Magnum load.
We found the Model 27 was comfortable to fire. The sights made for good accuracy. However, the heavy trigger action demanded a lot of effort, and firing at 5, 7, and 10 yards, it was a challenge to work up real speed. If we sped up, accuracy suffered. When firing the Magnum load, we found the thin grips were uncomfortable. The revolver squirmed in the hand despite the front strap stippling. The movement was due to the leverage of the barrel moving up during recoil. We did not get scraped or nicked, but we had some metal contact with the hand.
We fired for accuracy at 25 yards from a benchrest position. We used the Remington 38 Special 158-grain RNL Wheelgun, the Hornady 125-grain XTP 357 Magnum, and the Black Hills Ammunition 158-grain JHP. Accuracy results were excellent. Each of the Magnum loads exhibited loads as small as 1.25 inches for five-shot groups at 25 yards. The mild 38 Special felt as if it were generating no recoil at all and was more than accurate enough for practice with a 1.8-inch group average. This is excellent accuracy. As one of the raters noted, the Model 27 is comparable to his long-serving Colt Python in accuracy terms.
The problem was in double-action fire, with the heavy trigger action creating a considerable problem. We oiled the action and dry-fired it an additional 500 times, attempting to burnish the action surfaces — special treatment the other revolvers did not get and did not need — and there was no improvement.
Our Team Said: Despite the trigger action's heavy pull, we really like the Model 27. Fit, finish, and accuracy are excellent. We rated the Model 27 down a full grade based on the trigger action and another half grade based on the grips, which were not the best suited for firing Magnum loads.
Taurus Model 66 2-660041 38 Special/357 Magnum, $371
GUN TESTS GRADE: A
A capable performer. The only medium-frame revolver tested, the Model 66 is well suited to personal defense and home defense, and would make a good field gun for protection against animals. It is suitable for concealed carry with proper load selection.
Carbon steel, medium
Cylinder Material
Rubber, pebbled
10.25 lbs.
Transfer bar
TaurusUSA.com
This came from BudsGunShop.com. The Taurus 66 is the least expensive and the lightest revolver tested. Taurus has performed a neat engineering job by shoehorning seven chambers into a K-frame size revolver. The modification comes off well. Compared to six-shot revolvers, we feel that the seven-shot revolver cycles more quickly with a shorter stroke, although all shooters do not seem to be able to discern the added speed. The Taurus features an adjustable rear sight and post front sight. We did not find the clicks as positive as the Smith & Wesson's, but the Taurus rear sight worked fine for zeroing the pistol.
The hammer spur is checkered, and the wide trigger is smooth and ideal for double-action fire. The double-action trigger is smooth enough, and the single-action trigger breaks at 5.0 pounds after a bit of take up. The hammer houses the Taurus locking system. We did not use it and feel that some will find it useful — it is a sign of the times.
The revolver is supplied in a cardboard box with two keys for the locking system and a neat plastic sight cover to prevent damage to the adjustable sights as they are stored. The finish is a dark-matte-grey color. It isn't showy, but it works okay.
The grips are nicely pebbled and fill in the space behind the trigger guard. There are slight finger grooves. We rated these grips as a great advantage for the Taurus. They are a superior design, even compared to the Ribber grips found on the Taurus Tracker revolvers we have also tested. The Taurus features an underlugged barrel. Another advantage is an additional locking point on the crane, consisting of a detent that aids in keeping the revolver locked tightly. We dry-fired the revolver prior to the combat test. It isn't the smoothest double-action trigger we have used, but the smooth trigger face was comfortable to use going back and forth.
During the combat firing stage, the Taurus 66 turned in the best showing. Speed from leather and speed to an accurate first shot hit was good with the M66, the lightest revolver tested. Muzzle blast with the magnum load was there, and the barrel rose considerably, but the rubber grips made the chore of controlling the revolver comfortable. We had one flub; a rater could not close the cylinder. The cylinder release had not returned to its original position after the rater hit the release to reload. At least that may be what happened. The rater also thought he perhaps mishandled the reload as the malfunction did not repeat.
The heavier 608 had an advantage in prolonged fire with magnum loads, like what might be experienced in a bowling pin competition. In accuracy testing the M66, the lightest gun tested, bucked and roared in recoil. But all the 357 Magnum loads generated this type of jolt in all three revolvers. The Taurus 66 simply moved the most in recoil due to its weight. We did not have to move our hand or reposition our grip to control the handgun.
Our Team Said: For personal defense, the Model 66 7-shooter was the top pick from this trio, our shooters said. The Taurus grips made recoil bearable and controllable. Bench accuracy at 2.2 to 2.5 inches was not as good as the Smith & Wesson Model 27 or its Taurus 608 stablemate, but that level of accuracy is acceptable for a personal-defense firearm. But, overall, we preferred the Taurus M66 for most tasks.
Taurus 608 2-608049 38 Special/357 Magnum $548
GUN TESTS GRADE: A-
The Taurus 608 is a good performer. It wasn't the most accurate revolver, but it is more than accurate enough for hunting or any reasonable chore. The action is smooth enough. It is a big gun. Just the same, the size and eight-shot capacity made it ideal for home defense.
4.0 in. stainless steel, compensated
Matte stainless steel, large frame
Matte stainless steel
Fixed post with red insert
This also came from BudsGunShop.com. The 608 is much more expensive than the M66 and is also more difficult to locate. It isn't likely to be found on the shelf, per our experience in attempting to locate an example. We went through several distributors before securing the 608.
What we have is a stainless-steel large-frame revolver with a 4-inch barrel and 8-shot cylinder. The Taurus 608 features the same Taurus action lock and transfer bar ignition as the M66, and the same crane lock up. This detent in the crane adds to rigidity as the revolver is fired. The 608 features a heavy underlugged barrel.
There are improvements over both the Taurus 66 and the Smith & Wesson M27. The front sight features a red insert that aids in quickly getting a sight picture. Stainless construction is a plus for carry and outdoors work. The revolver also features eight barrel ports, four on each side of the front sight. We did not find these ports offensive in muzzle blast. Velocity wasn't cut by these ports; in fact the M608, exhibited the highest velocity of the three revolvers by 40 to 70 fps with magnum loads. We really liked the grip design. The grip is practically the same size as the smaller-frame M66 revolver and is much more comfortable than the Smith & Wesson Model 27, in our view. The double-action trigger is smooth enough. The single-action press breaks at 5.0 pounds. One of the raters noted that the bolt-stop cuts on the M66 seven-shooter are cut in the metal between the cylinders, while the eight-shot 608 has bolt stops cut directly over the cylinders. Some may be concerned about the metal thickness between the cylinders and the cuts, but we feel that this is a theoretical concern, at best, with factory loads.
Firing for combat groups, the M608 wasn't as fast from leather as the M66, but it tied with the M27 revolver for speed. Speed to a first shot hit was aided by the red-insert front sight.
The Taurus stays on the target as it is fired and is comfortable in recoil, due to its weight and the efficient Taurus grips. In combat firing, the Taurus 608 proved superior to the Model 27 by a margin. However, the fast-handling M66 had an advantage when firing 38 Special loads. When firing Magnum loads, the shooter was jolted more by the M66. The M66 was faster to the all-important first-shot hit. The M608 provided better combat groups by a margin with magnum loads compared to the Smith & Wesson or the smaller Taurus M66. Absolute accuracy was another matter. In this phase of testing, the M608 was the most comfortable revolver to fire, again because of the greater weight compared to the M66 and superior grips compared to the M27. Fired for bench accuracy, the M608 proved more accurate than the M66, with some groups as small as 1.8 inches.
Our Team Said: The M608 provided good performance for the price. We carefully weighed the performance against the price and found the 608's stainless construction, efficient barrel ports, red insert front sight, and extra round advantages over the Taurus M66. However, it is also heavier and more difficult to conceal. Only the owner may answer if the extra features are worth an extra $200. We think the M66 could be a concealed-carry gun that doubles as a house gun. We would choose the Taurus 608 as a field gun that doubles as a house gun.
Revolver-.357 Mag cal.
Thank you for including a 7 shot/Medium frame.
Perhaps this is the best overall compromise of capacity, size, and usability in the panoply of .357/.38 holster wheelguns; just enough more than a standard 6 shot, but not the wheel of cheese of an 8 shot.

Please stop mixing & matching when doing comparisons.
A comparison of revolvers that all have the same capacity, be it 6,7 or 8, would be much more helpful for readers wanting to know which one to buy.
Apples to Apples comparisons please!

PARK STREET SINGS
By JOHNNY MASON; Courant Staff Writer
Leave it to a 7-year-old beauty queen to capture the meaning behind a Park Street festival that attracted an estimated 50,000 spectators to the Frog Hollow neighborhood Sunday.
While some cited Puerto Rican and community pride, Yarelis Rodriguez had a less profound and a more candid reason for enjoying the live music and the event.
"It's just fun. Is that the right answer?" asked Yarelis, adjusting her tiara and an oversized beauty queen sash that kept falling off her shoulder. "I really like being here."
The Mega Festival de Park Street 2000 featured about a dozen high-quality performers that attracted thousands to Park Street, where food, souvenir and jewelry booths lined the street in the heart of the city's Puerto Rican community, long considered its most active commercial strip.
The celebration was sponsored by the radio station Mega 1230, and featured several recording artists, including the main attraction, Son by Four.
Festival organizers blocked off Broad and Washington streets; spectators packed Park Street for the stage set up near Squire Street.
The festival featured non-stop music that had people cheering and dancing.
It could have been the sound of George Lamond's voice, or the swivel of those hips, that had his audience of mostly teenage girls screaming throughout each of his songs.
Deputy Mayor Frances Sanchez, who attended the past three annual Park Street events, said the festival has grown as popular as one held in Miami.
"This is simply great entertainment for the city of Hartford and our neighborhoods," she said.
As for Yarelis, after being named first runner-up in the beauty contest sponsored by the San Juan Center, she hopes to continue her quest to win more beauty pageant crowns. The best part about competing is telling other people about her life, Yarelis said.
"It feels beautiful," she said.


I haven't noticed any problems. Sometimes I notice a lag--I'll type a couple of words and they take a long time to show up in the message window but that hasn't happened in a while.
It seems to be fine now, not having any trouble. Was just that one day.
Both Sally and I have trouble posting pictures from our IPad camera rolls. Any help?

Q: Configuring message limit in openfire I understand that the default size for the message is 1MB.
Is there a way to re-configure the limit.
Any help on this problem will be appreciated.
Thanks

A: You need to set the "xmpp.parser.buffer.size" property in Openfire (in byte) .
The default value is indeed 1MB.
(GIT code):
private static final String MAX_PROPERTY_NAME = "xmpp.parser.buffer.size";
maxBufferSize = JiveGlobals.getIntProperty(MAX_PROPERTY_NAME, 1048576);

Q: can't understand why parentNode.removeChild doesn't work I am new at this and i am trying to understand few stuff.
well, this is my HTML code:

var counter = 0;

function addMore() {
  counter++;
  var newFields = document.getElementById('dupDiv').cloneNode(true);
  newFields.id = 'dupDiv' + counter;
  newFields.name = 'dupDiv' + counter;
  newFields.style.display = 'block';

  var insertHere = document.getElementById('writeroot');
  insertHere.parentNode.insertBefore(newFields, insertHere);
  document.getElementById('test').value = newFields.name;
}
window.onload = addMore();

      <form method="post" name="f1">

              <input type="text" value="pp" />

                <input type="button" onclick="this.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(this.parentNode);" value="DELETE" />

              <input type="button" onclick="addMore()" value="ADD MORE" />

      </form>

As you can see, the code is working but it deletes only the button.
And i want it to delete all the tbody that is created.
( I mean that i want to delete the specific tbody that the button was clicked at)
And if it is possible i would like an explanation about parentNode in my code and to what element its connected every time.
**This is not the whole code so some element may be missing

A: Your click handler appears to be this:
onclick="this.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(this.parentNode);"

this will be the button that was clicked.
this.parentNode will be the containing .
this.parentNode.parentNode will the containing
.
So you're getting the containing row and telling that row to remove the containing .  That's what your code instructs the browser to do.
If what you're trying to do is to delete the containing
 element, you need to go up the hierarchy further to get to the actual
 element and to the
 element itself.
var tbody = this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
tbody.parentNode.removeChild(tbody);

Whenever I see the need for reaching up the parent hierarchy like this with multiple .parentNode references, the code looks brittle to me (it could break easily if slight changes were made to the HTML).  For example this code would make if the <input> tag was simply enclosed in a
 just to facilitate formatting or layout.  As such, I try to avoid this type of code.  In this case, you could use a small utility function that looks up the parent hierarchy for a parent type of parent and then that would continue to work even if minor changes were made to the HTML.  This is probably how I could write this code:
// search up the parent chain for a particular tag type
function closestParentTag(start, tag) {
    var found;
    tag = tag.toLowerCase();
    while (start && start !== document.documentElement && !(found = start.tagName.toLowerCase() === tag)) {
        start = start.parentNode;
    }
    return found ? start : null;
}

function removeCurrentBody(elem) {
    var tbody = closestParentTag(elem, "tbody");
    if (tbody) {
        tbody.parentNode.removeChild(tbody);
    }
}

Also, change:
window.onload = addMore();

to:
window.onload = addMore;

The way you had it was calling the function immediately.  Instead, you want to assign a function reference so it can be called LATER.
When, in your code, you refer to a function by named only without parens after it such as:
var foo = addMore;
That is assigning a function reference to the variable foo.  You can think of it like a pointer to the function addMore.  Nothing is called right now.  You've just assigned a pointer to the function to another variable.  This is how you pass or assign functions so they can be called later by some other agent.
When, in your code you have parens after a function name, that function is executed immediately.
 var foo = addMore();

This executes addMore() immediately and assigns the return result from that function to the variable foo.


Certain Confusions That Require More Clarity:The amendments under armour kids made in the 2010 version of the incoterm have divided the transportation mode of goods into two different groups. One group is exclusively reserved for the transportation via maritime while the other group comprises of all other modes of transport. FOB is related to the maritime transportation. However, sometimes it is seen that the FOB incoterms 2010 also get used in case of airways transport.
However, with time, containers came into the picture and now loads are carried in them for transportation. Even today, several companies use the FOB term for containers without understanding the revisions that have been made by ICC in the scope. It is crucial that companies go sports direct under armour through the amendments made at an interval of ten years in the terms related to international transactions. This would facilitate better logistics management and control in the long run.
Knowing The Appropriate Incoterm For The Use Of Containers:Rather than misusing under armour sale uk the term FOB in case of containers, companies must know which is the actual term related to them. Containers fall in the other part of the modes of transportation which are non-maritime. Whereas, as stated earlier in the discussion, FOB is exclusive related to the maritime transport. Thus, for containers, the term FCA meaning free-carrier is more applicable.
