In the past decde, the North Arian and Wstrn Europen IT industries have observed a rapid incres in the number of companis er outsourcing software project for development abroad or starting their own delopmnt crs in remote locations. In spite of gre promse and anticpation, mny global sofwre developmnt projects fail. Aftr failures, one party is quick to bla the otr's percived lak of diligenc, comitent, or ability; or te tchnology. But w observed that projcs oftn fa beus of subtl intercultural isue that impact the efivene coordination in the distributd team. To xplorehis mater, w examine the concept of culure and the potential it of intrculural dynacs on global software developm projcts. There has ben litle analytia resrch done in this arend he efct of intercultl facors has, thus fr, been ased baed on anedotal acounts by projt mgers. Our rearch combines t grounded theory and cse sudy research, strting with a collction ofcritil incidents in global projct. W present a descriptiveonceptual framework, for coordination bewn individualnd teams, that hasemrged from our daa and use it to analyz and explin som of our findings. 1. Introduction It is far esier to globalize, "virtualize," outsource, or offshore activies that involve only bit (of information) as opposd to atom (of matril). Bit mov quickly and inexpensively, wherea atoms, in the forms of foods, manufured goods, or raw materils, need to be shipped slowy and at gret expense. The development of softare sys ha trefore emerged as a prime candida for becoming a globaly disributed ctiviy. The growth of global software development is propeled by a number of enablrs and promised benefis (e.g., reduced lbour cost, large ski pools). Creating software in the ditributd environment is a chalnging endevor that is confronted by spail, emporal, organizational, tchnologica, and cultural nuance and complxites (Hrbsleb & Moitra, 2001). Resrchers and prationers have reognizd the ned to moresysaicly study te iuend ther impacts on software developmnt (Damin & Moitra, 2006; Herbslb & Moitra, 2001). In our sudy, we focus on t isue of cultureand is role in globay distributed software developmnt work. Thi paper looks a the efct ofntrcultural facors, presnt findings from a study of large software projects, UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 2 and proposes the AxE model, a conceptual framework for analyzing coordination problm in software deveopmnt. Sction 2 presnt the motvaton and context for our study, Sction 3 outlines exampls of culuraly-bad coordiion mishaps, and Secions 4 and 5 dicus in greater detail the central research problem and our resrch stragy. In Setion 6 we discus the specfs and applicbility of the AxE model, aion 7 uss the model to intrpret t mihaps w have obsrved. Sction 9 discuses potental rearch diretions, and gives our conclusion. 2. Motivation Software engineering (i.e., the engineering of software-intensive systems) i a highly knowledge-intnsive activiy. Unlike other engineering discplnes, thi "oft" nature mkes it hard to modularize a software systm into clr-ut components tha can be aigned to and deloped by difent individuals and then later asbled. Rather, tre s consstently a high lvel of intrdependenceong t mny activis and work produc involved in softare developmnt. Software enginering i alo a young disciplne with few esblished practies and in which methods, notations, proces and tool are rapidly evolving (Kruchtn, 2004). Ts "thnologicl churn" (Booch, 2002) further slows down the emergenc of a common, wl-understood wy to procd. Originaly, softare ws developed by colocated tams. Baed on thesecollocated projects, a body of knowedge on how to develop softare ha ben ambled nd is slowy being codified, as evidencd by the Softwre Enginering Body of Knowdge (Bourque & Dupui, 2001). Dspite t eergence of these developmnt methods and proces, failure rates of sofware projcts remain high. T Chaos reports (1995, 2001) sta that only a third oft are succsful and half are sriously chalnged (e.g., there over budget, produceyst with poor functionality or mediocre quaity). Compad to other engineering disciplnes or eonomic avies, softwa development is highly risky and unpredictabl. The 1990's saw the emergence of global sofwre development (Carmel, 1999; Herbslb & Moitra, 2001; Karolk, 1998; Kraut & Ster, 1995; Sahay et al., 2003;Sathynarayan, 2003; Yourdon, 2004). In this diributd environmnt, sofware organiztions initialy tried to use the same recipe and procse tt they had used internaly for coloctd developmnt. But as Borchers (2003) reports, in global projcts, "mthods that were thought to be 'best prati' turned out to be inefective or very dificulo implnt." In the distributd environment, companies run into spatial and tmporal gaps: physial ditnce and time-zone difrenc make any form of direct comunication much moreficult. Anything that is not the routine execution of predefined tsks, such as geting quik information and reource, bransting new ias, or reahing consensus on a design, proves to be problmatic (Carmel & Agarwl, 2001). Collborative tool atemptd to fil thes gaps, but proved inadequate (Msey et al., 2003; Sarker & Sahay, 2004). Adding to t chalnges wre the wily held and underlying asumptions that "a world-wideomputer-litrae culture, the intrnet, a programer (hacker) culure lrgely domnat the dynamcs of tse global teams. A result of this 'net ct', programers behave sa in San Jos, Boston, Budapetor Bangalore" (Larry Constantine keynot, at t TOLS paif confrenc in Sydney, February 2002), or that "becus [the sofware personnel] require litle human interaction UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 3 to be succesful, the individual does not need extnsive intercultural skils" (Beamn, 2004). To summarize, software enginering difrs from other globaly distributed economic ativis in the following respects: • It is entrely an intectual activiy: al bits, no atoms (Kruchten, 2002). doe not lend itslf to simple work breakdown stures, or "nearly decomposabl subsysts" (Sion, 1996). • It requires a lrge aount of intrpersonal cmunication. doe not haveny widely aceptd proces. While the intelctual aspect makes software developmnt an idel candidate for distributd work, the otr charatriis mke it particularly vulnerabl to chalnges introducd by geographil, temporal, organizional, and ctural boundaris. In particular, what impact could culture have on globa softwre deveopment? Collboration in disributd and curaly dirse tams cates new dynamics: "In the new paradigm, there i no obviously dominant culture and there may be ltl or no incentive to cate a negotiated culture" (Hsh e al., 2005). Our reserch investigaes hat and how sofwre developmnt proce and practies arefctd in thi culuraly-dirsting, and aso what coordination problm likely to result. W start by looking a some example. 3. What happens in practice Evidence suggest that mshaps in global software development are sometims culturaly relatd (Olon & Olon, 2004), and most projec mnagers have one or two sorie theove to t. To iustrae our point, here a som incidents w collctd. 3.1 How much is enough? A manager at company C request that a developer at company D investigae a sries of options and make a recmendaion regarding a pending smal deign decion. Consdering the iportanc of this decison, the manager expects the iston to be completd by a morning's work and reported in an informl meo. A wek laer the manager has stil not herd from the remot developer and inquirestr or not hisrequest i beng worked on. Honders if ther has forgottn his requet. Two weks afer the initial request he recives a 5-page report on the various optionshe anager does not have time to read such an indepth re and ultimately does not ratethe recommndations as usful. From that point on, the manager only channel hi request to a few delopers whom heruss to understnd his request. 3.3 What are plans for? Company E negotiates subcontract for a multimlion dollar project wih Company F. As part of the contrac, Company F is required to produce a procs document that deails the software developmnt proce to be used in the projct. The is eiy aroad mp for t projet, defining key documntation and reviw proc a wl as project progres. Company F producs a procs document that saisfe the contractrequimnt and the projct begins. Two yers ltr, closo thecduld delivery dae, Company E realizes that the project has not progresd as std and snds engineers to investigae. During t cours of the invetigaon the engineers ask where t procs UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 4 document is. The engineers at Company F look around and find the document on a shelf, covered with a layer of dus. When Comny E asks about this, t respons is "you didn't acualy expect us to follow that plan, did you?" 4. Problem statement, hypothesi The problems decribed in the previous section, along with many others commonly found in global software projets, can be considered as miatches in expectations betwen reotis. Thes mimcreat breakdowns in projet coordinaon and may result from a variety of reons including comuniction delays and noise; difring lnguageskil;nd disconnetsn knowedge. While the mstches can be found in collocted projects, they are exacerbatd by the various boundarie inherent in the distributnvironmnt. Furthermore, developers from difrenc cultures collborae in the distributd seting, t mismatcs are often result of intrctura difrencs. Our reearch examnes te expeion mismache in the context of culture and hypothesiz that, in mny cse, mt result from intrcl diferes in factors such as values, behavioural norms, socil sysems, and communication approa. 4.1 Definiton Before we go further in explaining our hypothesi, we should take a closer look at what the trm cultur actualy mens. For the purpos of thistudy, it isppropriat to useSpencr-Oay's definiton of culture as "a fuzzy st aiude, belifs, behavioural norms, and basi asumptions and value that are shared by a group of people, and thatinfluee ech member's behaviour and his/her interpretaions of the 'maning' of other peopl's behaviour" (Spencer-Oatey, 2000). One of the implcti of this defiton s to do with the function of culture. More specifaly, beside beng an influencng facor on pee's beviours, c also afts how people ntrpret others' behaviour. This intrpretive fti cult i eialy import in irculural situaions as thebehavioural norms of oneure my be misunderstood or regarded as incongruous by other cultura groups. In the global project, such misaches in interpretaion may result in misunderstanding, miscommuniation, conflct, mtrus, and even underutilztion oftalent, ulimely degrading t t performance. 4.2 Problem Our research is baed on the premise that there and wil continue to be intercultural factors that afct both collocatd and disributed software developmnt eforts. This ideais supportd by Gibbs (2002) who point out that the is a growing body of litraure that ndites tt ultural diferencs will reain a significnt fctor wthin, and may even bemagnifid in respons to, organizational culture. It should not be asumed that thes fctors arel negative. In fct, a les two projet managers have report a good ix of cultura approaches w beneficalo their projects (Borchers, 2003; Kruchten, 2004a). Despit the fat that softare engineering is a highly analytical proces, culture and intrculuralcors are plying an oftn unrecognized rol in projt. Whil therewil be irct ft in tems tha are collocatd, the potential impac of ntercultl faors in disributd ta is much grer. "T lrgest ftor in global UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 5 teams that we have sen is that they come from diferent cultures" (Olson & Olson, 2003). 4.21 Definig "team" Our traditional notion of a "team" includes people who work together on a common task in a colocated environmnt. If thi i so, what does "team" mean in distributed context? In a distributd contxt tas are variously and intercngebly refrred to as being virtual and/or global. Gibbs (2002) defines global tas a "…crossing boundaries - cultural, geographical, tmporal, and organizational. They are both virtual and mtic. They also rey predominantly on the use of ltroni communiaon ratr than fae-tofe intracton, due to tir geographical dispersion. Team mebers aret last somewhat interdependent, to the extnt to whih they work collboratively to cpl cmon tasks. Finaly, ttam's straegy and work itsf i globa in scope." Alhough w wil draw on exiing cultural theories and models to help explain data coletd in our study, we recognize tha fuidity of culture makes it nerly impossible for us to pinpoint any event to a particular cultural layer or group. Our focus is on xamining the diferencs in how softwre proces and pratices, are regarded by developers atnt site, and explining the difrencs in the context of cultural predisposions, be they tam, orgazatonal, or national. 5. Research ethod 1 Research question At a high level we are interestd in the question: How is cultur affcing particular sofware devlopment practices and rlatd arifacs?To answer this queton, we have taken a grounded approach and us a two-phase resarch stragy. In the first phase, w look for specif areas of interesthrough intrvis wih software profionalhile in the seond pha, w conduct more rigorous and deiled analyss to further refine our hypothesi. 5.2 Data collection and areas of interest In the first phase of this reearch we ierviw project managers and other personnel who have been, or are currently, involved global softare development projects. Our aim is to se wt emrges in trms of (potntiay) culurally-basdishaps and suce. Our current cas studie are with companies involved in project spread betwn Canada, USA, Rusi, Italy, India, Nel and China. Thus far w have conduced 21 si-structured intrviwsith a tota of 11 particpantsrom thes organiztions. One are of intreshat has emerged ha to do with t hard understanding of expectation beten remote developmnt sits (e.g., wha constiutes proper documentaon or procs? How are reviw carried out? How are prioritis rated?) We investiga how the expectaions stisfd or faild, and what influenc intrculturalfacors my have on tse intrat. Bad on the dat collecd, we have also UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 6 developed a smal descriptive framework that wil be used to describe expectaions (both met and unmet) in coordinaton (s Sction 6). 6. The AxE coordination odel Collaboration implies (1) breaking down work into smaler "chunks;" (2) alocating the chunks to various groups or individuals, baed on skis, competenc, responsbily, vailbiity, and/or other crite; and (3) aligning al the c bewen the various partes to integrat and produc the fina softwre system. Dnding on t complexity of the work, work procs of varying granulrities may be involved in each of thre aspect. Coordination has been studied from various perspectis (Crowston, 1997; Mlone & Crowson, 1994) and ioftware development by Kraut and Sreetr(1995). ost of thee torie of coordination and the reatd tools and techniques (e.g., step-bysep manuals, procdures) sem rooted in t Input-Proc-Output (I-PO) model. "Idely, architcure, plans, and procs—coordination mhanism—would be sufficnt to esablish efctive coordination among teas" (Herbslb & Grinter, 1999). However, what i striking in the mishaps tt w have collctd is tt, in globaly distributd projecs, ofe input, proces, and outputs arepparently w-defined, sil a kinds of failures occur. We have deloped a smal frawork, cald AxE, for Anticpation-eXcution-Expectaion, to anayze, explin, and reson about the failures tha w have encountered. The model difers from other model of coordination in tt iakes into a the transient and social micro-atributes aociated wh coordinaion input, outputs, and procs. The mode consis of 3 elmnts: 1. t concept of dicrepancis betwn expected and actual is and outs ("the delas") 2. fow over time, in three stps ("the waltz") 3.the concept of a "trus capil" 6.1 Handing over inforation Asuming that during the executon of the software development proces, some artifact U (e.g., a docent, some code) has to be handed over from a party S to another pay D, there a 3 atributs of U that may afect t efectines of coordination in t proces: • C: a definiton ofhe contnt of U. Contnt refrs to not only t materil but alo its representaion. For exampl, the compones of a use-casy incude the nam, decripton, pre- and post-conditions, involved ators, min flow of events, and altrnat flows of events; t defnion woullso speify (or imply) how t components should be repreed. • Q: the level of quality of U at the time of the handover (e.g., is U a sketch or very plt? Has it been reviwd? How much detail isncluded?) T: t tim a which the handover occurs. For theriplet oftributs U [C, Q, T], three instances are defined (Figure 1): • Anticpatd, by t source S, UA: T aipated U is what initialy thinks he wil deliver to D: an anticpated ontentnd an anticpad lve of quality a an antcpated time of delvery. • Expectd, by the destnaion D, UE: UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 7 The expected U is what D initialy asumes she wil receive from S: an expected content and an expeced lve of qualit an expetd tm of receipt. • Exutd, what is atualy handed over by S to D, UX: The execed U i thetl artifact that S hands over to D: a crtain content of a certain lvel of qualty deivered a a certain te. 6.2 Discrepancies (deltas) Often the cause of breakdowns in coordination is the diferencs betwen the 3 instances of U: •ΔEx is the diferenc betwen what D expectd and what she recived (i.e., UE -UX). Tscpay may be on any of the 3 aributes: diferent contents, diferent lvel of quality (e.g., completnes, auracy), and/or difre time (e.g., lat, mosten). • ΔAx is the difrenc betwen what S anticpated he would deliver and what he actualy delived (i.e., UA - UX). This dirency is le obvious: why would someone der somthing other tn what he anticpat? But this i often the in software projecs a time presure or work overload compromi quality and/or timelines. • ΔAE is the difrenc in percption betwen S and D regarding the 3 atributes (i.e., U – UE). O would think tha, in a wl-oiled and disciplned organization tha rigorously follows a defined procs, such discrepancy would be mimd. In software project, nevertheles, ΔAE i common, due to the nature of softwre developmnt. Many software engiring artifats are intangible—informaion, intes, plns, partil definions, risks, este, aong otrslaving a gret al to interpreton (and therefore dicrepancis in perception). S and D my very wl adhere to the same proces but intrpret the detals of the proces diferenty. It should be notd that ΔAE is not necsarily the sum of ΔEx and ΔAx. In som cas ΔEx and ΔAx are greater than : the expected and anticpated values arelose, but theexecution fals fr from both. Also, A wide ΔEx may not nesariy be the fult of sourc S; the cus my be unreaonable etions from the detinaon D. Figure 1: Overview of the AxE discrepancies (the 3 deltas) UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 8 6.3 Stages for coordination (the waltz) The handover of U from S to D proceds in 3 sages: • Planning, where anticpatd UA and expected UE are formed; Execution tualrtifact UX is handed over; Fdback, wre ΔEx and Δx are aualy percived, evaluatd, and (maybe) ommuniated. 6.3.1 Communication channels These 3-tage handover impli some form of communication betwen S and D. This communicion can tke mult fs (a shown in Fgure 2): • Direct: S and D speak to each other face-tofae. Mediated use s medium (e.g., eail, instant mesaging). Indirct: S a acsom cmon repostory, docum(s) (e.g., plans), and/or procs(e). • By proxy: S and D cmunicate vi third parties (e.g., management); S and D my not beware of their mutual existenc. Implict: S a use contxt to implictly deduc the anticpatd and/or expeed values. Figure 2: Modes of comunicatio during coordination 6.3.2 Plannig How do S and D form UA and UE, respectively? The time component is usualy the simplest: S are both aware of some sdule or plan. The conte and t quality are more subjective to interpretion. There may be guidelines, but t specifs of t contnt and qualy are afcd by fctors including (1) previous intratons betwen Snd D; (2) the extnt of common undersnding betwen S and D (regarding the artifact, overal goal, proces, and environment); and (3) the lvel of trust bewn tm. UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 9 6.3.3 Execution Exeution is the least problematic part of coordination. S creates or refines U, and makes it avalablo D using the mos appropriate (and avalabl) communicaton mechanim(shown in Figure 2). In doing so, S uss wha he considers the "right" procs but is stil subject to external conditions that my afct his abilty to actualy produc wt he antipas. 6.3.4 Fedback Onc UX is delivered, the discrepancies ΔEx and ΔAx are perceived by D and S, respectively. The question of fedback concerns whetr D makes S aware of ΔEx, when, and how. Fedback mehanism vary aross projcs, aivit, and individuals. Fedbak can be imdiat (e.g., "you are lat,") or communiction cn proced indirectly (e.g., through mnageent meings). In the global proje, fdback may be msntrpreted, ignored, or exaggeratd, oftn for cultural reasons: saving fa or ctering to an aymrical retionship. Ofn in the distributed sting, theource is never mde awre of ΔEx, or only indirectly and much laer, through a growing lvel of mitrus. To del with this, some softwa organizations have instiutd systematc fdback mechani (e.g., posmorte mengs, retrospecs). Figure 3: The 3 stages of coordination (the waltz) 6.4 Trust and mistrust When coordination betwen S and D occurs for the first time, they start with some lvel of trus in each other. This trust capitlθ plays an important role in t forming of both UA and E in the plnning sge. And the trust cpitl is revisd aftr executon. A large discrepancy bewen what is expected and wha i deivered (ΔEx) wil derese the trust capitl, specialy if there i no efint fedback mehanism. On the contrary, a sml ΔEx wil incre trust capitl that D holds for S, θ(D,S). Repeatedly large ΔEx wi deveop the distruso such an intolerabl lvelor D tt D wil no longer collborate with S (i.e., "I'd raher do it myself"). UBC-ECE: Hsieh, Kruchten, McGregor 10 6.5 Scaling AxE up We have described the AxE coordination model from the perspective of one individual handing an artifat to anotr. But the m can be generalized to interaction betwen large groups of individuals and teams. And it generalizes to more complx or composit rtifcts. Though not explicty std, todel applo coordination in both diributed and collocated ts. In the distributed tam, ti diferencs, physical stancs, and other culural and organizaional fctors afect the forming of UA and UE, he communication modes, and t avalbity and idiay ofdback. Close tention needs to be paid to these fctors when using the AxE model. 7. Data analysi Using the AxE model, we wil revisit the examples preentd in Section 3. 7.1 "How much is enough" revisited In this cae, the coordination centrs on an investigaon conducted by developer D that is to be reportd to mager C. The request to conduc an invesigaon and to submit a writn re (C) is mde explictly by C to D. The quality (Q) and deliry tme (T) asocied with the invetigaon, however, is not explcy sated. Manager C asums tha developer D would be able to deduc t Q and T nesry, basd on pat experinc, currentorkload, and the priority of the requet, among other facors. The coordination endsith a UA[Q,T] that is much greater than UE[Q,T], leding to a largeΔAE and reduced θ(D,S). Manager C considers t ti and efort spent on t investigaon and the report wsted and should have ben spent on more worthwhile work. Manager C starts delgaing this type of work to others (or whom he has a higher θ(D,S) i.e., a higher trust capitl). 7.2 "What are plans for" revisited The mismatch in this cae has to do wh the question of whetr or not plans are to be followed. The ide that the plan wil not be followed i foreign to Company E, while theidea that Company E acualy expects Company F to follow t plan comes a surpris to D. Examining the isue from a cultural perspective, we find difrencs betwen the two compaes on many levels. The organizational culure of cpany E i one that ishighly proc orintd. In otr words, plns are of great importaen Company E and everyone in the organiztion is expected to be comied to following plans. Comny F, howr, places litle value on the procs documnt and just consders it a hoop to jump through 9. Conclusion No, programers do not behave the same in San Jose, Boston, Budapest or Bangalore. Beyond the isue of language, ti zones and collboraive tools, there i a range of incdent, mihaps, and filures tt are mostly atributablo difencsn culture, in the fundaental va systemha part of the society's education, politc, organization, and even religion.

HADDON TOWNSHIP – When it was over and the final horn sounded, Madison Bradley was mobbed by Haddon Township High School girls basketball teammates, and with good reason.
Bradley calmly dropped in two free throws in a one-and-one situation with 2.3 seconds to play as No. 10 Haddon Township outlasted Haddonfield, 39-37, Tuesday night in a Colonial Conference cross-over girls basketball game.
But Bradley was the first to admit the Hawks would not have been in a position to win the come-from-behind contest had it not been for the outstanding all-around performance that included 25 points from Grace Marshall.
"She's amazing," said Bradley who scored six points. "She's the most selfless player ever. We have to tell her to shoot the ball because she just wants to dish it. She makes us all all-round better players."
Marshall had two quarters in which she virtually single-handedly kept her team in the game – the first in which she scored all of her team's nine points, and the fourth in which she led the way with 12 points.
If Marshall has to carry the scoring load for the Hawks, it's a role she says she enjoys.
"Now that I'm a senior I really do feel like I'm a leader" Marshall said. "Sometimes I feel like I do have to carry my team, but really they're the ones who help me because they always have my back."
Her effort helped offset Keegan Douglas, who scored 18 points for Haddonfield, which led seven at the half, 22-15.
The Hawks had to battle throughout the second half to overcome that deficit but Marshall and Co., found a way to get it done.
"Haddonfield's a rival to us," Marshall said. "We've been wanting this win for as long as I can remember. We were so passionate about it and we just worked together. We never gave up at all."
Like, her teammates, Haddon Township coach Tom Mulligan has come to rely on Marshall for leadership as well as point production. Sometimes he said his heart goes out to her because of the responsibilities she handles.
"She knows she has to carry the weight of the team," Mulligan said. "A lot of the times Grace just wants to be the distributor and point guard because she just loves that part of the game.
"But there are times when she has to step up and she just had some big time possessions tonight She scores in spurts."
That was evident in the fourth quarter. With Haddonfield leading 30-26 in the early going, Marshall scored a 3-point goal and a second basket to give her team the lead.
She later added a three-play and another basket as the Hawks took a 37-32 lead, But this time Haddonfield battled back into a tie. Douglas scored one basket and Annie Strahan tacked on a 3-point goal to push the score to 37-37 with 1:39 to play.
Neither team was able to break the tie until Bradley drove to the basket in the closing seconds, drawing a foul.
"I just kind of went down (after being hit) and hoped for the best," Bradley said. "I didn't even know I'd been fouled until my coach said, `you've got a one-and-one.'"
At that point all eyes were on Bradley as she stepped to the line, and everyone said their confidence in her free throw shooting ability was high.
"I was 100 percent confident with Madison on the line," Marshall said. "We practice foul shots and – especially this year – I've noticed she's been working really hard on it, so I didn't have any doubts she was going to make it."
Still shooting free throws in practice and shooting them with the game on the line are two different things.
But, in the end, Bradley said she was up to the challenge.
"It was pretty nerve-wracking," she said. "But it was fun."

Art and Cover by: Steve McNiven
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Brief Synopsis: This is Part 2 of the Old Man Logan story. In Part 1, Logan is shown as a old farmer struggling to provide for his family. It has been 50 years since the heroes fell and the United States was cut up between various villains. Logan has retired from the superhero business and has not popped his claws since that final battle. Now a pacifist, he gets beat up by his 'landlords', the Hulk Gang, and takes a beating for not having their rent money. A blind Hawkeye shows up and asks Logan to be his guide for a special quest. He is taking 'special cargo' to New Babylon and he wants Logan by his side. Logan agrees in order for a payday that will provide for his family.
Part 2 begins with Logan and Hawkeye driving around in the old Spidey Buggy. For reasons that are never explained, Hawkeye is the one driving. Then end up in San Francisco, where the population has been decimated by the Moloids. The rumor going around is the Moloids are the Earth's immune system and since the Earth had too many humans, the Moloids were released to thin out the herd.
While searching for survivors in San Francisco, they are ambushed by a motorcycle gang calling themselves the Ghost Riders. Logan receives another beatdown but still refuses to pop the claws. When the Ghost Riders attempt to see what the cargo is, Hawkeye uses the sound of their voices to locate his targets and rains down some vicious arrow shots. When Hawkeye asks what the villains did to him to make him a pacifist, Logan simply responds "They broke me, Bub".
Logan and Hawkeye eventually reach Hammer Falls, Nevada. It is the location where Magneto and the Absorbing Man finished off Thor. The town has become a haven for people who are waiting and praying for the heroes to return. They flock to worship at a makeshift shrine where Thor's hammer, Moljnir, now rests. An Ultron robot stops the heroes and tells Hawkeye he has to go see his ex-wife Tonya. Tonya is also the youngest daughter of Peter Parker (since she is black, does that mean he knocked someone up while wearing the black costume?). Tonya tells Hawkeye that their daughter Ashley has been kidnapped by the Kingpin. Ashley is seen in captivity, wearing a Spider-Girl costume. Do I foresee a "You're too short to be a Stormtrooper" comment in the future?
Pros: I know in my previous post I said that I do not like future stories because it shackles characters with outcomes that they eventually have to fulfill. I don't believe this story is like that. I'm taking it more like a "What If..." type story. I'm reading a lot of "Secret Invasion" stories right now, which frankly I'm growing tired of, so this story is a nice change of pace. None of the events in this book should have any ramifications on Wolverine going forward so it is nice to have a self contained story that is a fun read and nothing more.
Even though Logan has been getting his ass handed to him in each issue, you know he's eventually going to let the beserker rage loose and take out a lot of people. If he doesn't, this will definitely swing to the Con section.
I like how Hawkeye is being portrayed as a bad ass even though he is blind. He was an Avenger and one time leader of the Thunderbolts so he should definitely be able to handle himself, regardless of his handicap. Using the sound of the Ghost Riders voices to pinpoint his shots was a nice touch.
Another nice touch with Moljnir still resting in the place it fell, because obviously, only someone worthy can lift it.
I love Steve McNiven's art. He's probably my favorite Marvel artist working right now.
Cons: I know this is petty, but I think it is dumb to have a blind Hawkeye driving around while Logan sits in the passenger seat. Can Hawkeye hear the road bend or something? This is just a plot point that shouldn't be there because it just doesn't make any sense.
Is this 'Jurassic Park 2'? Did we really need a black daughter for a white character to show equality? How does whitey white boy Peter Parker, who has only ever had white girlfriends, now suddenly have a black daughter? If this was Iron Fist, yeah, that would have made sense. Or maybe even Logan because that man has hit every major race. But Spidey? Another useless little shock tactic that wasn't necessary.
Conclusion: I'm actually enjoying this story for what it is worth, a nice little "What If..." story with wonderful art and decent pacing. It's building nicely to Wolverine finally unleashing the beast and hopefully he unloads on some villains who truly need it. It's nice to have a different Wolverine story out right now because let's face it, he's been over saturated the last couple of years. Pick up 'Astonishing X-Men', 'Uncanny X-Men', 'New Avengers', 'Ultimate X-Men' or any other tie-in book and his stories are usually the same. At least this is different. As long as the story doesn't become 'in continuity' I'll be fine.

Domhnall Gleeson says he is happy to return to his comic roots after several years of intense film-making experiences on dramas such as "Never Let Me Go," "Anna Karenina," "Unbroken," "Ex Machina," "Calvary," "The Revenant," "Brooklyn" and "mother!"
The Dublin native can now be seen portraying the brilliant, but buttoned-up National Lampoon co-founder Henry Beard in Netflix's "A Futile and Stupid Gesture."
Peter Rabbit, a family comedy in which he plays bunny-battling Thomas McGregor to James Corden's titular hare, is due in theaters Feb. 9.
Asked by UPI in a recent phone interview if he was looking to have some fun after tackling so many serious roles, the 34-year-old actor, replied: "Yeah, it's all just about trying to mix it up. I think you're right. I think that I wanted to do some stuff with a different energy, where it's not about accessing pain."
"There are moments of that on 'A Futile and Stupid Gesture.' There are certainly plenty of moments of pain on Peter Rabbit, but that was just physical," he laughed. "But I think getting to a place where it's about joy. That was a lovely thing to be able to do. Yes, it was important to be able to do that and enjoy myself in a different way on set."
Although he didn't grow up with National Lampoon magazine or the movies it spawned like 'Animal House' and 'Caddyshack,' Gleeson said he was immediately attracted to 'A Futile and Stupid Gesture' because it had a fantastic script with a lot of heart and was about the 1970s and '80s comedy giants who influenced some of his favorite funny people in real life such as Jim Carrey and Mike Myers.
"I'm mostly kind of the straight man," Gleeson said of the real-life humorist he plays, adding all of his co-stars in the film -- including Joel McHale, Jon Daly, Rick Glassman and Matt Walsh, who played Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Matty Simmons -- are "incredible at what they do."
He also praised "hilarious" Saturday Night Live alum Will Forte who played Doug Kenney, Beard's hard-partying, writing partner, who died at the age of 33 after years of substance abuse.
"They were all just so funny that really it was just kind of remembering to stay in your lane," Gleeson said of his contributions to Gesture. "It's not a competition. You don't have to compete with them and come up with the funniest line and Henry, to me, was always the funniest person in the room, but he didn't need to prove it."
Gleeson explored a completely different kind of humor for 'Peter Rabbit,' which mixes live action and animation, a process that frequently forced him to share the screen with a tiny, fluffy co-star who would be digitally added in later.
"That's a movie for kids, as well, so it's on a different sort of a level," he said. "I loved working with Rose Byrne who is just fantastic, so all my scenes with Rose, it was like a breath of fresh air because you are talking to somebody who makes you better in the room or you could just shut up and let her do her thing because she is so wonderful, whereas dealing with the rabbit was tricky. That was hard, but I really enjoyed the challenges of it and I really hope it has turned out well."

An ongoing feature demonstrating the points put forth by Barack Obama that in order to be leaders in the world we will have to be cold and hungry.
In An Obama Nation:
This is what I want to watch when I sit on the couch:
This is what I will have to settle for watching -- right after I crank it up! All for the sake of being a good world leader!
Don't worry, while you and I will feel like Iranian hostages the academics and the media will hail this leadership as being even better then freeing 50 million from tyranny, right up there with winning a world war or cold war.

One of the up sides of my unemployment is that I can go thrifting anytime I want. I went to four different Goodwills in three days this week. I found treasures at two of my stops.
With Christmas right around the corner, the decorations were half off. I picked up a box of old blue and silver glass ornaments and 18 feet of lighted garland for under $5. I'd been eying the old glass ornaments at vintage shops but they were going for upwards of several dollars an ornament. I was right in waiting for the right find.
My second thrift find included the gold tree and the clock in the photo above.
I was excited to grow my christmas decoration collection, but I was more excited about a few frames that I found. These three frames gave me the idea to finally put together a wall collage like the ones I've seen on Pinterest. I pulled together some of my favorite pieces from around the house and came up with my layout.
I laid my collage on the carpet, took a deep breath and with my measuring tape and hammer, I excitedly hung all my frames.
The walls still need one more coat of paint so I'll be able to paint over any stray pencil marks. I overcame my fear of putting holds in freshly painted walls by realizing that if I put a hold in the wrong place-like a did a few times- that the frame would still cover the hole.
We're off to Glenwood Springs for Christmas, our first married holiday, just the two of us. Denver and the Rockies have just received a blanket of white snow so we should be in for a white Christmas in the mountains. Merry Christmas!

Una risposta »
Saturday, the 22nd of September, 2012, my husband, two friends and I, visited some truly wonderful islands in our lagoon.
The day was positively spectacular, the sun was shining and the lagoon was just a sight to behold.
We were greeted at "Venissa" on the island of Mazzorbo by a very, very kind and well informed young lady, we then proceeded to "Orto di Venezia" on St. Erasmo and we met Pamela, she too was just marvelous, delightful, patient and quite knowledgeable.
I have lived here since,1995, orginally from Australia, and for the first time in a very long time, we encountered gracious, polite and enthusiast peoiple, all trying to promote our extraordinary lagoon.
We also visited the Torre di Massimillan on St. Erasmo, an ancient fortification, to see the photo exhibition, the gentleman at the desk was also friendly and gentle and quite happy to chat to us.
We were all impressed at the hospitality.
And finally, the terrific folk that ran the free water shuttles, between all the islands,I believe it was "Venice by Boat"… here I truly was speechless, the boys were good-natured, affable and cordial, just delightful. The actv, our public transport service, and tha aligaguna, the airport shuttle group, should speak to this compnay and have them RE-TRAIN all their bad-mannered and abrupt staff.
Overall, a fabulously, engaging day, we applaud the people who organised this festival, I tip my hat to you all.

I'm a couple of months into editing with Sony Vegas.
Thanks mostly to this site and reading everything I can, it's going really well.
Hell, I'm even colour curving now! (still no idea what a codec is tho'!)
I have no hardware issues and I'm using a pretty good laptop...
250 gig hard drive
3 gig ram

My question is this..should I be thinking of getting a separate hard drive to store all of my video on?
Is that what most of you guys do?
If so, are there good and bad ones? do they crash?
I looking at a 1000 gb one for £90 (Maplins)
I just want to keep things running as sweetly as possible.

As I stood over the display of jicama in the grocery section, I was trying to equate it to something I knew...at least in texture. Sure, I've had it before, but never really used it in anything original. So, my description to those who haven't had the pleasure; think texture of an Asian pear with a raw potato / apple taste, but tastes a lot more appealing then I make it sound.
1 jicama, peeled
1 granny smith apple, peeled and cored
~ 4 oz smoked salmon, sliced
1 tbsp mayo
Slice all ingredients into strips of equal size, this will be a little difficult with the salmon, but try. Place in a bowl and mix with the mayo. Serve chilled with cilantro.

Arnold Classic
So, I decided to go to the Arnold Classic this weekend, which was a lot more interesting that I thought it would be. I'm not really into sports or fitness in general, besides walking and hiking, but this was a completely fascinating event! There were so many people there, and many events going on all around. It was also a really diverse crowd. One of the things I think I enjoyed the most was that I wasn't hassled by anyone while taking pictures of them. Sometimes I was less obvious about shooting, and shot from the hip, and other times I just shot directly and no one cared, which made it a lot easier. I also really enjoyed the boxing, which I normally don't care for, but found it interesting to watch at the event. The other crazy part of the Arnold Classic was how completely trashed the place was. There was trash littering the floor everywhere! Anyways, I went with my friend Guv, and we spent about 2 hours there before it closed and they kicked us out. I had a great time, and look forward to going and shooting it next year!

LONDON — A seven-page dialogue scene can flummox even the most professional of pros. Michael Caine and Sean Young, playing a not-so-retired spy and the woman he shouldn't love, are shooting a tense confrontation scene building to the climax of their new thriller, "Blue Ice," and it's going very well-except for one line.
It seems Young's character has led Caine into an espionage-gun- running plot without telling him one or two vital details, such as the identity of a gunsel named Kyle. "Who was Kyle? Who was Kyle?" Caine keeps snarling at her, take after take, as the steadicam follows them around an atmospherically lit bedroom-wet bar-living room set.

Knicks owner James Dolan may need to use the roaming function on his cell phone and call Canada again to ask about point guard Kyle Lowry of the Raptors. Already without starting point guard Raymond Felton, interim starter Pablo Prigioni is down for at least two weeks after suffering a hairline fracture of his right big toe. No surgery is needed, but his loss is devastating, especially with how smoothly he had run the team since Felton went down with a hamstring strain last week. "Another body down, another body gone,'' Carmelo Anthony said. "Pablo is a big loss. We have to make due right now. There is nothing we can do about that. Guys have to bring the ball up and help at that position.'' Rookie Tour'e Murry, a preseason sensation, will be pressed into action to back up Beno Udrih, who played the final 22 minutes after Prigioni went down in the Knicks' 102-101 loss to the Wizards. Mike Woodson also said Iman Shumpert will be pressed into some point-guard duty. He was drafted as a point guard and played much of his solid rookie year at the point.

DECATUR — Decatur City Schools has a new interim superintendent.
According to board attorney James Irby, seven people applied, but only three completed their applications in time for Tuesday's interviews.
WAAY-TV reports the board unanimously chose Dr. Dale Edwards, the former superintendent of Guntersville City Schools, to replace Superintendent Dan Brigman, who abruptly resigned March 18 after 10 months in the post. Edwards began his new job Wednesday.
Edwards served in that role for six years before retiring in 2015. He served as interim superintendent for Jackson County Board of Education later that year.
School board members said that previous interim experience helped solidify his nomination.
Edwards' contract will be voted on during the next school board meeting.

After intently watching the Masters I have come to the conclusion that former Masters chairman Hootie Johnson should be hung by his nether regions for ruining the best tournament in the world.
It was Johnson's idea to "Tigerproof" Augusta National. Instead he ruined the essence of the tournament, or "toonimint" as he pronounces it. The element of the possibility of a Sunday back nine charge to the winner's circle has been removed. Now, thanks to Hootie, the only charge will be down the leader board.
The damage he did starts at the then 480-yard par-4 10th hole. It just wasn't long enough for ole Hoots. Never mind that the green sits at a perverse angle and getting the ball close to the hole with a middle to long iron is only by luck.
Then there's the 11th hole, now a ridiculous 505-yard par 4. Hootie added trees on the right hand side taking all strategy out of the hole. This is the hole with water guarding the front left of the green. Ben Hogan used to say that if he hit the green in regulation, he'd pulled the shot. This year on Sunday, there was one birdie on 11 out of the top 25 players in the field and that was a 45-foot bomb by Tiger Woods. This is another Hootie-driven backup hole.
Due to room constrictions, even Hootie couldn't mess up the par-3 12th and par-5 13th holes, but he got his game back on the 14th and 15th holes. He pushed back the tee on the par-4 14th and then made the toughest green on the course somewhat a joke. All that's missing is the swinging bowling pin and the clown's nose.
The par-5 15th was always a crowd favorite because of the dramatic second shot. The charging competitor could attempt to carry the water in front of the green setting up a possible eagle or birdie. A less than well struck shot could literally throw cold water on a challenge for the top of the board. Now, with 35-40 extra yards and trees intruding on the left side of the fairway, the drama is limited to how far back the golfer will lay up. Yawn.
He couldn't touch the beautiful par-3 16th, but made 17 and 18 bogey holes. By adding 45-yards to 17, he assured that at least half the field couldn't drive past the Eisenhower tree if playing into the wind. Now, players are forced to hit clubs into a green that isn't suited for the lower trajectory shots from that distance.
Hootie finished by adding at least 50 yards to the last hole. Where golfers strategically would hit a 3-wood off the tee to avoid the bunkers at the left corner of the fairway, they now can't get a driver to the sand. By hitting a driver, the trees on the right and left are in play. Into a strong wind, some players were hitting fairway woods for the second shot and not getting to the green. Because the hole is so severely uphill, wood, hybrid or long iron shots were coming in so hot they wouldn't hold the green.
Right now, there's an 80-20 chance that a golfer will shoot 40 on the back nine to lose the Masters than there is a chance of a golfer shooting 32 to come from behind and win. Instead of the drama and excitement of Sunday afternoon at the Masters, we're going to have to find a way to gear up for that always exciting Saturday afternoon, or maybe morning round. Thanks Hootie. You took the drama and excitement of the Masters from us and left memories of Martha Burk behind.
Sick call has been answered by Tiger Woods and John Daly. I know what you're thinking. One should never be there and the other should never leave.
Tiger had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Supposedly, this was just to clean things up a bit and there was no real damage. According to reports, this surgery had been planned last year. I wonder how serious he thought winning the Grand Slam was doable. Then again, he had won seven times on unsteady pins.
If you said Daly's surgery was a gastric bypass to eliminate that Miller Lite tumor hanging over his belt, I might believe it. If you said it was to scrape the tar off his lungs left by his chain smoking, I might believe it. But when they say it was to repair torn stomach muscles and that that was why he's played so poorly for the past two years, I don't know.
It would seem reasonable that swilling down copious amounts of Miller Lite and Jack Daniels might have been a contributor. Eating a diet that included everything except the grilled chicken and the salads from the Hooter's menu might have been a contributor. Let's not underplay the stress that comes from dropping yet another couple of hundred grand at a casino which might tighten the sphincter when looking at a 5-foot putt to make the cut.
Look, I was one who ascribed to the theory that if six pack abs were great, two keg abs would be spectacular. John took that theory and amplified three times. I don't think either of us has had to worry about stomach muscles for a long time. Regardless, let's hope that his surgeon implanted his game when he was tying up loose ends and we can once again admire JD for his tremendous game on the course rather than off.
Bartender, please pour me another. This time make it a low-cal smoothie. Pour John a double smoothie and Tiger some of his energy drink. Hootie? How about brewing him an old southern favorite—oleander tea.
See you on the first tee,
Thursday, April 17, 2008

I arrived at Chicot State Park near Ville Platte, Louisiana, to find a welcoming committee of one blind-in-the-right-eye racoon. It was relentless in trying to get me to either feed it or let it into the cabin so that it could find the food itself. A mix of cat and dog and squirrel.
This is Cajun Country for real. Wi-fi is available at all the McDonalds in Louisiana. Here I sit, listening to the old guys who come here for coffee because the local coffee places are no longer (as is true in many parts of the country), listening to Cajun French mixed with English, sometimes. Interesting place, really.

Just a note on rabbit manure. It is a fertilizer, however it should be used cautiously. It is very high in nitrogen and phosphorous. Over application will cause more harm than good. When added to composter, placed in your grow area, you will get the benefits of the nutrients, as well as the heat generated by the composting action. the com

Mushroom industry
10 января 2017
My name is Shahar, and I am a new button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus( grower.
I'm examine the disinfection methods (formalin is forbidden in my country) that are available for me (in addition to the steaming)
What do you think is the best one? And why?
Thank you
Царев Александр Владимирович, 5 мая 2017:
Dear Shahar!
I do not use formalin for a long time. The best way to disinfect the growth chambers and other rooms is steam. If there is no possibility to steal, chlorine dioxide can be used. Usually it is used for disinfection of equipment and tools. If wood is used on the mushroom farm, it is disinfected Ca(OH)2.
If you write to me what you want to disinfect, then it will be easier for me to help you with advice.
Sincerely, Alexander Tsarev

More from the just-beyond-the-rumour-stage department...
Sky Sports News apparently reported earlier today that the front-runners for buying Saints are a property development consortium from Guernsey headed by a man named Quentin. It all sounds small enough that it may well be true. SSN are now no longer reporting the story but it has been 'stickied' on the Saints forum so it must be true...
The more regular rumour mill continues to report either two or three bids, all of which are/should be covered by NDAs (which therefore leads to doubt over the story on Sky Sports News), but one of which may emerge as new ownership for Saints sometime this week.
Additional rumour note: The name 'Souness' still does not seem to want to go away, although I remain doubtful on that one.

Today was the day I've been waiting for the entire trip. As a huge Disney lover, I could not wait to visit a Disney abroad. Because of our trip to Asia this year, we decided to skip visiting Disney World, which is typically an annual trip for us. Despite still being "in Disney," it didn't… [Continue Reading]
Touring Big Buddha Hong Kong
Touring Big Buddha Hong Kong is not the thing to do if you're scared of heights, and even though I kind of am, I was still very excited to visit. It's something you simply can't miss. Getting to Big Buddha (also called Tian Tan Buddha) is very easy. It's located on Lantau island and is easily… [Continue Reading]
Marriott SkyCity Hong Kong Review
If you found this post via the directory, you'll notice there are two parts to "Hong Kong 2013," because our time in Hong Kong was split by an overnight in Macau. This is the second part, starting out with my Marriott SkyCity Hong Kong review. When we arrived back in Hong Kong, we checked into the Marriott… [Continue Reading]
The Venetian Macau Review
The Venetian Macau Review One thing we did while in Hong Kong was take a ferry to Macau for the night. Macau is the "Vegas" of China. It's only a 45 minute ferry ride from Hong Kong, so for us, it was a no brainer. Getting to the ferry terminal in Hong Kong via the… [Continue Reading]
Wong Tai Sin Temple Hong Kong
We visited a lot of temples during our trip to Asia, and my personal favorite was the Wong Tai Sin Temple Hong Kong, conveniently located across from the Wong Tai Sin Metro stop (go figure). This temple's claim to fame is "to make every vision true upon request." Visitors go to not only wish for good health… [Continue Reading]
